Human cerebral systems are immersed in the earth's magnetic field. To be consistent with the results of several correlational studies, we found that the most accurate detection of information at 50 m occurred when the geomagnetic activity was ~5 nT. The corresponding magnetic energy within the cerebral volume is equivalent to approximately 3 million bits of Landauer Limit quantum which is equivalent to low resolution photographs. Non-linear analyses indicated that the induced electric fields from the typical time variation of geomagnetic intensity converged with the Adey voltages for the threshold for background entropy. The relevance of signal/noise ratios and the recent evidence indicate that imagery and cognition may actually reflect fields of biophotons within a fixed volume, which indicates that a natural processing system may be occurring under very specific conditions that involves detection of recondite information at a distance.

white rice bread.....not so bad.
whichever way ya wanna look at it.
plus....it makes a mighty fine door stop.
I'm trying to visualize where you're using your new bread door stop, and it looks like it might be the office door. Hmm. Does Jozee the Dog know about this use of food at her height?
We're getting close to wrapping up our second of two shows for the day, fingers crossed that we'll be home soon.
jozee hasn't sniffed it out, cuz, well......she's in the atrium.
are you not eating gluten?
well, i'd say in the past day.....yes. nothing (more or less than) potatoes, rice and carrots.
i've pretty much eliminated all culprit intolerance foods (soy, dairy, egg.....with some minor slip ups) and now i've added gluten to the mix and am giving it a go.
are you celiac by chance?
i need to get your numbuh. and i HHHHHATE phones, yah? but, email it to me if you're comfy: artworkslive@yahoo.com........let's e-chat more. i'd like that anyhoo, regardless of all the health talk.
i just discovered tonight my spray oil contains SOY, and i've been TRYiNG to avoid soy all this bloody, fargin' time. no wonder. explains so much? so little??? i don't even begin to understand anymore.... tricky dicky, it is, you're so right.


Adult Foster Care (AFC) is a life-changing program for thousands of family caregivers across the Commonwealth. If you appreciate the vital work caregivers do, please consider joining us at Beacon Hill for Adult Foster Care Awareness Day 2019.
As director of an AFC program for 19 years, I've witnessed the amazing impact this program can have countless times. Since AFC is funded by MassHealth, it's vital that lawmakers are aware of this too, and that is really the central goal of Adult Foster Care Awareness Day.
Organized by the Massachusetts Council for Adult Foster Care, the gathering will feature updates from advocates and family caregiver stories. It's both a celebration of the work family caregivers do, and a reminder of the many challenges they face.
Many advocates are also planning to meet with state legislators, to discuss what AFC provides and what it means to the more than 12,000 Massachusetts residents in the program.
The legislature traditionally has been very supportive of AFC, but the program was hit with unprecedented budget cuts two years ago. Our goal is to ensure AFC remains strong going forward.
We see the program as a wise investment of state resources. AFC routinely saves MassHealth money—costing $50-85 per day, instead of $125-250 for nursing home care. The number of nursing facility days covered by MassHealth has dropped by 37% since 2000, due in large part to community-based programs like AFC.
The AFC program at Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services (SCES) provides help for more than 250 families across the greater Boston area. We're proud to participate in Adult Foster Care Awareness Day and we hope to see you there. If not, please consider calling your local state representative and state senators to let them know you support AFC.
Adult Foster Care Awareness Day 2019 will take place on Thursday April 4, from 9-2 at Nurse's Hall at the Statehouse. The event is free, but the Massachusetts Council for Adult Foster Care asks that participants register by calling Terry Cook at 413-733-1240 ext. 119 or online.
Jeanne Leyden is director of Adult Family Care, a non-profit program at Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services that supports in-home caregivers across the Greater Boston, North Shore, and Merrimack Valley areas. For more information, visit adultfamilycare.org or call 617-628-2601.

Band fined for concert in backyard

A band are calling on the local council to make event applications easier and more affordable after being fined more than $2000 for holding a ticket-only concert in their Broome backyard.
The Gray Brothers performed in front of about 200 people in suburban Cable Beach on June 8 without permission from the Shire of Broome because they said the process was too complicated and it would be cheaper and quicker to cop a fine.
The band, comprising siblings Harry, Elwood and Albert Gray, were fined $2175 by rangers, but the penalty was "significantly reduced" after Shire president Harold Tracey met with the trio.
The original infringement was issued for conducting an event in a public place without a permit and conducting a food business on a premises that was not registered, as the brothers sold wood-fired pizza to attendees.
Harry Gray told the Broome Advertiser he and his brothers were working closely with Mr Tracey to work out a solution to help similar events continue legally. "These types of shows are at the core of Broome's heritage and we have had an amazing track record of putting them on for the past eight years," he said.
"We have fought this fine because we are worried about the repercussions — it may scare other artists out of putting on similar shows and that is how the music culture here would get lost.
"A small, quiet, family-friendly event such as this one should not have required unrealistic costs and mountains of paperwork."
Gray said neighbours were outraged to hear about the fine and had encouraged the band to continue their performances.
"All the neighbours who would be impacted by any sound were actually in attendance at the event," he said. "There were no traffic obstructions, everyone picked up their own rubbish, we measured the sound with a decimetre all night, we were finished by 9.30pm and we couldn't have been waking up any sleeping kids nearby because they were all laying down on our lawn.
"This is a good community event that people of all ages love and this has been proven to us through the shock and horror others have expressed after we received this fine."
Mr Tracey said he was committed to working towards a positive solution for similar positive, low-risk events.
"There is certainly a perception that the Shire is hard to deal with when organising an event, but we are doing something about this," he said. "My goal is to make Broome the events capital of WA and the only way to do that is for the Shire to make the organisation and planning easier for people."
The Shire has held five public workshops over the past month aimed at increasing the skills and knowledge of event-holders in Broome. The final workshop in the series will be held on July 10.

Patrick Gallacher (16 March 1891 – 17 June 1953) was an Irish footballer, playing in the inside-right position, and most noted for his career at Celtic - he is one of the club's leading goalscorers of all time.

Early life
Patsy was born in a workhouse in Milford, County Donegal. His parents were both originally named Gallagher but at some point the spelling was altered.

Gallacher was three years old when his family moved to Clydebank in Scotland and he played for his first schoolboy team at Our Holy Redeemer's Primary School in the town. Patsy had to organise the team, acting as captain and secretary because every teacher in the school was female and showed little interest in the sport. Patsy remembered his first trophy in the Yoker Athletic Schools' Tournament playing for Holy Redeemer who were the dark horses of the competition. He recalled that the organisers were unwilling to award the cup to a team without an adult manager.

Club career
Patsy joined Benvue, a team in the Clean Speech League, then moved up to the juvenile side, Renfrew St. James. He then moved up again to Clydebank Juniors and began to attract the attention of scouts from senior clubs. They could see his talent which was impressive, but had doubts due to his puny, frail appearance. Despite this he received offers of a trial with Clyde F.C and Celtic. During his trial period he scored twice in a 6–1 defeat of Dumfries and three times in a 5–0 win against a British Army XI.

Celtic
He was quickly promoted to the Celtic first team and made his debut aged 20 against St Mirren at Parkhead in November 1911. He was to overcome his supposed physical problems in the same way that Garrincha would in years to come, and his resilience and stature earned him the nickname 'The Mighty Atom'.

He revitalised Celtic's team, which had slipped to fifth place in the league in 1910–11 as the great team of Jimmy Quinn, Davie Hamilton and Jimmy McMenemy which had won six successive league titles began to tire. Within six months he secured his first winner's medal, scoring once in the 2–0 victory over Clyde in the 1912 Scottish Cup Final.

For much of his time he formed an effective wing partnership with Andy McAtee and in the final years of his spell he helped to bring on a young Jimmy McGrory, who later commented "Many people have asked me how Patsy would have stood up to the rigours of the modern game. He would have strolled through it. There is no present day player in this country that I would put anywhere near his class."

He went on to play for Celtic for 15 years from 1911 to 1925, featuring in 491 games in all competitions. In 464 games in major competitions Patsy scored 195 goals. Today he ranks as Celtic's sixth highest goalscorer behind Jimmy McGrory, Bobby Lennox, Henrik Larsson, Stevie Chalmers and Jimmy Quinn. With Gallacher added to the lineup, Celtic won six Scottish League titles, four Scottish Cups, four Glasgow Cups and eleven Glasgow Charity Cups.

One of his most famous moments came in the 'Patsy Gallacher' Scottish Cup Final of 1925 against Dundee, when he barged from behind in a packed penalty area and somersaulted over the goal line with the ball between his feet into the net for a goal. This last winner's medal came 13 years after his first in 1912.

Falkirk
In 1926, Celtic 'retired' Patsy without warning. Speculation among his fans was that they wanted to save on his wages, which were considerably higher than those of any other Celtic player of the time (despite the fact that the team included greats such as Jimmy McGrory and Jimmy McStay). Gallacher went on to play for six more years with Falkirk, fuelling speculation among Celtic supporters as to how many more goals he would have scored and trophies lifted had he stayed at Celtic Park. He received a testimonial match in January 1932 between a Celtic-Falkirk XI and a Scottish League XI.

International career
Patsy gathered 12 caps for Ireland in an age when fewer internationals were played, and World War I also led to such games being suspended for several years. On his debut for Ireland at Windsor Park in Belfast against England he became the highest paid international ever. Interest in the Ireland team grew tremendously: 50,000 packed into Windsor Park for his Ireland debut in 1919.

Like many Irish players of his era, he played for both the Belfast-based Irish Football Association side (11 times, with six matches against Scotland), and the Dublin-based Irish Free State team once versus Spain – at 40 years of age, he became their oldest-ever debutant (surpassing Bill Lacey, although Lacey made further appearances up to the age of 41).

Gallacher also represented the Scottish League XI twice (both against the Irish League) while at Celtic, and made seven appearances and scored seven goals in a Scottish FA tour of Canada in 1927 while at Falkirk.

Personal life
Gallacher had been apprenticed in the famous local John Brown & Company shipyard prior to joining Celtic and returned to the industry (a reserved occupation) during World War I; in peacetime he was, unusually, permitted by Celtic to be a publican in Renfrew while also playing for them which allowed him to stop working in the shipyard. From 1925 he ran the International Bar in his hometown of Clydebank and concentrated on the licensed trade after retiring from playing professionally aged 41. His wife died in 1929 and Patsy had to raise their six children on his own. Patsy himself died in 1953 and is buried in Arkleston Cemetery in Paisley. In 2007 a memorial plaque was unveiled in Ramelton, with the unveiling ceremony attended by family members, locals and some of Celtic's Lisbon Lions team.

Two of his sons Tommy and Willie also became footballers, as did his grandsons Brian and Kevin, the latter of whom played for Scotland at 1998 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, his nephew John Divers and John's son of the same name both played for Celtic.

PANG Yunlong, LI Yan, LIU Zhengyi, CUI Yulin, QIN Song. Transient expression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (egfp) gene in Sargassum horneri[J]. Journal of Oceanology and Limnology , 2019, 37(2): 651-656.
Abstract: Sargassum horneri is a macroalga widespread in North Asia-Pacific region, and these years its bloom has caused huge damage to the environment and the economic in China. To make up the blank on genetic engineering research, a transient transformation system for the multicellular marine brown alga S. horneri was established in this research. The algae used in this research were collected from the Yellow Sea of China and verified as a same species S. horneri with analysis of molecular markers. The S. horneri parietal leaves were transformed with the enhanced green fluorescent gene as the reporter by micro-particle bombardment. The results show that green fluorescent protein (GFP) is an effective transgene reporter for S. horneri and that particle bombardment is a suitable method for transformation of S. horneri. Through selection of four different promoters for EGFP and six groups' bombardment characters, the highest transformation efficiency approximately 1.31% was got with the vector pEGFP-N1 at bombardment characters 900 spi and 6 cm distance. This research paves a way for the further research and application of S. horneri.


With the creation of the Radio Maintenance Division in 1998, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office committed to replacing the aging and unreliable radio system that was in use. After nearly two years of planning, ground was broken in February of 2000 on a state of the art 800mHz communications system with a national "Mutual Aid" subsystem. The system was completed and brought "on the air" in November of 2001. As part of our commitment to Homeland Security, seamless interoperability with our seven surrounding agencies was built into the communications system.
One of the Radio Maintenance Division's primary responsibilities is the care and maintenance of this communications system. The system consists of 34 major subsystems at six different physical locations throughout the parish. The Division uses preventative maintenance procedures and constant vigilance to insure the system is always available to accomplish the mission of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
In addition to providing reliable and secure communications for the Sheriff's Office, the system also provides communications for the Folsom Police Department, Madisonville Police Department, Covington Police Department, Mandeville Police Department, Sun Police Department, Pearl River Police Department, St. Tammany Fire Protection District 4, the District Attorney's Office, St. Tammany Parish Public Works, St. Tammany Parish Office of Emergency Management, St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office and the Louisiana Office of Probation and Parole in St. Tammany.
The Radio Maintenance Division also maintains a wireless data network. This network provides field units with the ability to run license plates and other checks, write reports and view dispatch traffic in their vehicle so that they remain on the streets. This system is also utilized by many of the local agencies in St. Tammany Parish.
The Vehicle Maintenance Department (AKA Maintenance Barn) services all Criminal Division and Administration vehicles. All vehicles are inspected for safety every 3,000 miles with appropriate maintenance. STPSO employs ASE certified mechanics that oversee and train inmate workers who perform repairs and general maintenance on the fleet.

The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore
Home Culture The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore
By Thomas M. Loarie | Culture | Comments are Closed | 16 February, 2017 | 0
It takes a very special story for me to engage in fiction. The Last Days of Night by best-selling author Graham Moore is such a story. Even as a work of "historical fiction," it will appeal to history buffs. It will appeal to those interested in invention, technology, business, the practice of law and entrepreneurship.
Set in New York City and Pittsburgh in the late 1800s, The Last Days of Night centers in the invention of the light bulb, the war over the adoption of A/C current, the largest ever patent-lawsuit (Edison vs. Westinghouse) and the creation of today's global giant General Electric.
It follows the ground-breaking "non-fiction fiction" or historical fiction art form pioneered in 1966 by Truman Capote's award winning "In Cold Blood." The author states, "the bulk of the events depicted in the book did happen and every major character did exist." But adds that nothing (in the book) should be understood as verifiable fact. This book is a "Gordian knot of verifiable truth, educated supposition, dramatic rendering and total guesswork."
The main characters include Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, Nikola Tesla, J.P. Morgan, Agnes Huntington and Paul Cravath.
Cravath, the protagonist, is a 26-year-old attorney only 19 months out of law school. The story begins with Cravath being hired by Westinghouse to prosecute a patent-related lawsuit against Edison to prevent him from having a monopoly on "light." The central issue at the heart of the legal squabble was "who invented the light bulb?"
The first electric lamps a century earlier and by 1878, arc-lighting systems and electrical "candles" were being sold to cities and towns throughout the U.S. However, the quality of light was bad. Gas lights remaned, as they were far safer and more beautiful. The market for a better bulb was immense and not crowded. Much was at stake for both the winner and the loser.
Nikola Tesla, an inveterate inventor, plays a central role in the book as the inventor of A/C. We learn that Tesla, thought to be eccentric by all who knew him, was possibly a schizophrenic. Agnes Huntingon serves as Tesla's patron and as a romantic interest for Cravath.
Edison's lawyers claimed his patent covered all designs of all light bulbs. It was up to Cravath to show that Edison patented a specific lightbulb, not the entire idea of the lightbulb. Tesla, who worked at one time for Edison was hired by Westinghouse to beat Edison by having him make a better light bulb. Tesla's genius and Westinghouse's need to win motivated Tesla to invent alternating (A/C) current and a new bulb that would operate on A/C.
The war over the ownership rights to the light bulb grew. It become the war of current (A/C vs. direct current) and the commercial beginnings of electricity generation and distribution.
At the end, there is a secret coup within Edison General Electric which was backed by J.P. Morgan to depose Edison. The Edison General Electric was renamed General Electric and became the global manufacturer of the electric bulb based on Tesla's idea. Westinghouse became the manufacturer of Tesla's electric-power generation system. Tesla, on Westinghouse's request, signed away his royalties. He would die penniless in 1943.
Edison versus Westinghouse became an undead lawsuit. It lived on beyond the time litigants cared about its result. Edison's patent was eventually upheld in the court but it was soon to expire.
Cravath went on to create what has been known as one of the premier U.S. law firms, Cravath Swain and Moore, for nearly two centuries. He developed a pyramidal structure, the "Cravath System," to handle the light-bulb suit. It proved useful in other cases as well. Each suit was overseen by a partner at the firm, below which a team of associates handled the daily drudgery of legal work. The associates ascended through a hierarchy of their own. They became partners themselves based on the length of time they had been with the firm. This system rivaled Westinghouse's factories for efficiency of production. Cravath turned the practice of law from a craft into an industry.
Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla, who in their own ways, changed the world: they did what they loved; "for Edison who loved the audience it was the performance. Westinghouse was different as he loved the products themselves and he made them better than anyone else. Westinghouse did not want to sell the most but wanted to make the best. Tesla, the third leg, only cared for the ideas themselves. Once he had an idea, he was done, he knew he had solved the problem and moved on." Only together could these three have birthed the system that is now the bone and sinew of these United States.
As an engineer and an entrepreneur who has been involved at various levels in the commercialization of over thirty inventions, I found The Last Days of Night to be one of those great "hard to put down" books.
So, Edison, Westinghouse and Tesla — who invented the light bulb? That was the question that had started the story off. Once again, only together could they have birthed the system that is now the bone and sinew of these United States – escaping from her past. It can't be said enough.
Moore's geeked-out passion for the mathematician Alan Turing won him an Academy Award for the screenplay of The Imitation Game. He is now working on the film adaptation of The Last Days of Night in which Eddie Redmayne will play Cravath. The film is being produced and directed by the same team behind the highly lauded Imitation Game.

Was Satan Living in David Bowie's Pool? The Occult's Influence on Rock 'n Roll
By Yeats Brehon | Comments are Closed
What is the nature of occult's influence on rock and roll? According to the book Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll by Peter Berbegal, the occult expanded the language and sound of rock and roll, and was more about theater and fun than the diabolical. It's a good argument, although not entirely convincing.

New statuary is completing the look of the Bradford County Veterans Memorial Park (BCVMP) envisioned by its founders. The group has competed its fundraising mission and will conduct a final project event that will coincide with Independence Day Weekend.
Many people have helped to champion the cause of the Bradford County Veterans Memorial Park since it's inception nearly eight years ago, but nobody more so that Joe Doherty. On Saturday, July 2, Doherty will participate in what he says will be BCVMPA's final project event.
Military veteran and WGGL morning show host Mike Powers will emcee the event, which will begin at 1 pm (1300 hours). The ceremony will include a color guard, performance of the National Anthem by Kamri Hoffman, invocation by Pastor Josh Payne, and a speech by Lt. Colonel George Crowell.
At about 1:30 pm, there will be a helicopter flyover from US Army Air National Guard. Dr. Tim Hoffman and Doherty will offer brief commentary. There will also be a reading of "The Veteran Poem," the inscription under the Quintessential Soldier statue.
There will likely be future events in the beautiful new park that pensively fills a former "dead space" at the Towanda intersection, but they will not be under the auspices of the BCVMPA.
Doherty related years ago that, when he went looking for memorials to Bradford County's veterans, he was appalled at what little he found and was dismayed that the earnest efforts of veteran's groups in the past had not been maintained. He approached Towanda Borough officials and the Bradford County Commissioners with plans for a new memorial park and was met with both cooperation and some funding.
Doherty and volunteers from Middendorf Construction and other businesses broke ground at the site and completed Phase I of the (then) three-part project. Perhaps because most of Phase I was structural or even infrastructure, corporate leaders and the general populace was apparently not seeing enough "bricks and mortar" to fully stand behind the project yet. Ironically, individual supporters were prepurchasing engraved bricks and sidewalk pavers that would not be installed for another year or so.
What Doherty had envisioned as a three-to-four year endeavor became bogged down, but BCVMPA members continuously looked for new avenues for funding. They persuaded a few municipalities to send some ACT 13 money (natural gas Impact Fee funds) their way and won over one more business leader at a time.
Some well staged events on annual holidays saluting veterans brought attention to the park as it continued to evolve. Nobody crossing the adjacent Veterans Memorial Bridge from Wysox to Towanda could deny that something very special was happening with that space. Finally, the tide turned for the BCVMPA and they crossed the hurdle that would bring the park to near completion.
"All statuary is funded," Doherty noted in an email to supporters. "We await delivery and install." New flags will be raised prior to the July 2 event. There remains one bench to be marketed.
As with most designs, there are elements that either do not work or didn't make the final cut due to budget constraints. There was more statuary and landscape proposed initially that might be realized in later years as Bradford County residents see existing landscaping mature and the park become a truly beautiful addition to Towanda and one of the busiest intersections in Bradford County.
Part of the statuary that Doherty is confident will be erected in time is a group of five angels holding scrolls with the names of those killed in action, prisoners of war, recipients of the Purple Heart, Missing in Action or have been granted a Congressional Medal of Honor. So far, Doherty has documented none of the latter.
Nonetheless, after eight years of what Doherty saw as his retirement project, he must understandably step away from it. Doherty is one of many revered senior civic-minded leaders of our era who is concerned about the apparent lack of enthusiasm in the generations behind him, and anyone who has been involved with him and the Memorial Park project knows that he has done his part.

Q: PHPMailer fails to send email I am creating PHP Class to send email. Problem is that for some reason mail is not sending. Does someone know where is the problem?
I am running this on XAMPP
Here is the code:
include_once "class.sendMAIL.php";
$sendActivation = new sendMAIL();
$body="http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/activation.php?id=$activationCode";
if ($sendActivation->sendActivationEmail($name, $email,$body))
{
    echo "MAIL SENT";
}
else {
    echo "ERROR IN SENDING";
}

Mail class:
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
class sendMAIL {
    private $sendEmail;
    public function __construct() {
        $this->sendEmail =  new PHPMailer();
        $this->sendEmail->isSMTP();      // Set mailer to use SMTP
        $this->sendEmail->Host = ' smtp.gmail.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
        $this->sendEmail->SMTPAuth = true;    // Enable SMTP authentication
        $this->sendEmail->Username = 'my@gmail.com';    // SMTP username
        $this->sendEmail->Password = 'mypassword';           // SMTP password
        $this->sendEmail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';     // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted
        $this->sendEmail->port ="465";
        $this->sendEmail->From = "";
        //$this->sendEmail->FromName = $name;
        $this->sendEmail->isHTML(true);
    }

    public function sendActivationEmail($name, $email, $link) {
        $this->sendEmail->AddAddress($email);
        $this->sendEmail->Subject="Aktivacija";
        $body="Follow this link to activate your account: LINK";
        $this->sendEmail->MsgHTML($body);
        if($this->sendEmail->send()) {
            return TRUE;
        }
        else {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
}

THIS IS ERROR WHAT I GOT WHEN I DEBUGGED PROBLEM:
You must provide at least one recipient email address.

Thanks to @paulgv I fixed error but now I got this error:
SMTP connect() failed

Does someone knows where's the problem?
EDIT: problem caused gmail. gmail blocked my webapp to access my email.

A: So here is the answer, copied from the comment I posted earlier ;)
Alright, I also find this line weird in your code : $this->sendEmail->AddAddress=($email); maybe try with $this->sendEmail->AddAddress($email); instead ?
Now, concerning your SMTP authentication issue, did you try enabling verbose mode ? Might help !
According to the documentation, you should do something like this :
$this->sendEmail->SMTPDebug = 3;

A: For the SMTP authentification issue, try this :
$this->sendEmail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$this->sendEmail->SMTPSecure = "tls";                 // sets the prefix to the servier
$this->sendEmail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";      // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$this->sendEmail->Port       = 587;

It's working for me.

As armor improved, swords were forced to change. This 12th Century Medieval Sword with Scabbard is an example of how they changed, developing into larger blades that excelled at slashing, crushing, and thrusting, all to negate a foes armor. This sword has an iconic cruciform design of similar type to what was favored during the early eras of the Crusades. The blade features a fuller designed to help reduce its weight, as well as a subtle profile taper that allows the blade to excel at slashing and hacking while still providing an effective point for piercing mail and slipping through armored plates. The blade is dual hardened and forged from 5160 high carbon steel. Etched into the blade are twin cross emblems, as well as the phrase Militaris Templi. The straight quillons of the crossguard are understated yet effective, while the long grip and the jewel-shaped pommel help provide proper weight distribution and grippage. The sword has a full-length tang which is peened at the pommel. The sword includes a matching leather wrapped wood scabbard, which is perfect for storing the sword when it is not in use. No sword belt is included, so freely attach the sword and scabbard to your own favorite sword belt. The leather on the scabbard is also stamped with a Templar emblem at the throat and a Templar cross along its length. Strong, sturdy, and powerful, this 12th Century Medieval Sword with Scabbard is an impressive example of how effective a big sword can be, especially once you handle this blade and realize that it is not only powerful, but responsive and quick, too.

Dear Parents
It is hard to believe that the 2022 School Year is coming to an end. It has been a year which has flown by and it doesn't feel like I have almost completed my first year as Principal at St Pius X School.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how grateful I have been for all your wonderful support I have received this year. The year began with a staggered start to schooling with many of our children learning from home due to COVID. School camps and excursions needed to be postponed, community events and parent information evenings needed to be cancelled and we couldn't hold our first indoor community event until May. This meant that we ended up squeezing all of our 60th Anniversary celebrations and many of our community events into the second half of 2022. In reflecting on our last few months at St Pius X, I have come to realise just how many things we have done in the last 4 months. Since the beginning of August we have hosted a 60th Anniversary Mass, Book-Week dress up parade, a 60th Anniversary Gala dinner, a parent breakfast and Father's Day stall, a student Wellbeing day, a school disco, our two day sports day events, a whole school Anniversary Picnic, our 60th Anniversary School concert and on top of all of this children have still attended numerous excursions, onsite sporting programs and our Year 5 and 6 children have attended camp.
It is great that after a lean few years, we have been able to bring our community back together.
I have really felt supported by the whole school community and I feel very blessed to be working with such a caring and supportive group of parents, students and staff.
I would like to thank the staff at St Pius X for their wonderful dedication this year. The staff have fully supported all of the community events over the past few months and these events have added to their already heavy workloads. We really do have a wonderful group of staff at the school who genuinely care about the children and want the best for them. I am grateful for all the work that the staff do in order to support the children and ensure that St Pius X is a great community for the children and their families.
I would like to thank all of the parents for your support this year. As a school we would not be able to offer all the experiences that we do without the support of our parents. Whether it be through supporting your own children with their learning, attending school functions, volunteering in classes, supporting with excursions, working in the canteen, coaching a sporting team, supporting the P&F or School Board, your efforts really do help make St Pius X a wonderful family environment.
Finally I would like to thank our wonderful students at St Pius X. I love coming to school each day and being greeted by such fun loving group of children. I am very proud of the children at St Pius X and I constantly tell people outside of our school, how good the St Pius X children are. I feel very privileged to be doing the job I do and it is the children at St Pius X who inspire me and continue to ignite my passion for ensuring that we provide the best possible education environment for them.
St Pius X School is a wonderful place to work and I thoroughly enjoy being part of this great community.
School Board: Thank you Anthony Pryzibilla
At the end of this year we will farewell Mr Anthony Pryzibilla who has been the Chair of our School Board for the last six years. Anthony has been on the School Board for last 8 years and during this time he has worked with three different Principals. During Anthony's time as the Chair of the School Board, he has worked with the School's Leadership teams to oversee the planning and building of our new classroom spaces and nature play area; the introduction of the active wear uniform for the school and the introduction of a one to one device program across the school. These represent only a few of the many initiatives that Anthony has supported as the Chair of our School Board. Anthony's youngest son Riley will be finishing at St Pius X at the end of this year. We thank Anthony for his commitment and dedication to our school throughout his time on the School Board.
I would like to thank all the 2022 School Board for their commitment this year. I have appreciated their advice and contributions to the important decisions and discussions that form part of the School Board's important role in overseeing the operations of the school.
In early 2023, we will be calling on new nominations for our School Board and encourage all parents to consider this opportunity.
Farewell to our Year 6's:
At the end of school year it is always a sad time as we say farewell to our Year 6 students. I had the pleasure of spending 3 days on camp at Narnu Farm with our Year Six students, two weeks ago. During this time I had the opportunity to witness what a fun loving group of children our Year Six students were. Their behaviour whilst on camp and the way in which they supported and encouraged each other was impeccable. I look forward to celebrating with our Year Six children and their families at our Graduation Mass and Dinner which will be held next Tuesday night. I would like to thank all our Year 6's for their contribution to our school and I wish them all the very best for the future.
Staffing News:
As we finish our school year I would like to share with you some news about staffing for 2023.
It is with a sense of sadness that we say farewell to Olivia Ventura and Chandler Dorsey. Olivia and Chandler have worked at St Pius X School as a Junior Primary teacher and ESO respectively. Olivia leaves us to take up a permanent appointment at St Margaret Mary's School at Croydon Park, whilst Chandler has now completed his teaching degree and will be commencing his career as a teacher in 2023. I wish both Olivia and Chandler all the best with their future endeavours.
Sarah Tirimacco:
Will be taking some Maternity leave during the first half of the 2023 school year. Sarah and her husband Mark are expecting their third baby later this month. Sarah has done a wonderful job leading our Junior Primary team this year and has also been instrumental in setting up and teaching our SPARX transition program. We wish Sarah and Mark all the best in the coming months and we look forward to Sarah returning to our school again.
Gianna Terminello & Mandy Richardson have both decided to resign from their positions at St Pius X School. Both Gianna and Mandy have been long serving staff members and both have been on leave in 2022. Gianna has worked as an ESO, coordinating our Learning Assistance Program, whilst Mandy has been the Director of the St Pius X School OSHC for 30 years. Gianna has made the decision to retire from her role, whilst Mandy has taken up an advisory position in the Department of Education. I would like to thank both Gianna and Mandy for their significant contributions to our school community and wish them both well as they embark on a new direction in their lives.
Congratulations Lauren Ryder and Laura Baohm who have been appointed as the Director and Assistant Director respectively of our OSHC Service. Both Lauren and Laura currently work in OSHC in leadership roles and have formed great relationships with our students and families. I am delighted that both Lauren and Laura have taken on these roles and I have no doubt that the St Pius X OSHC service is in good hands.
I would like to thank Jessica Harmer for taking on the role as Acting Director in 2022 whilst Mandy was on leave. Jessica took this role on at very short notice and has done a wonderful job. Jessica is looking forward to returning to her administration role within the OSHC service and will continue to be a great support for both Lauren and Laura.
New Teaching Staff Announcements:
I would like to welcome Mrs Jenny Mittiga to our teaching team in 2023. Jenny is currently a teacher at Our Lady of Hope School and comes to us with a lot of experience and a wonderful reputation as a great teacher. Jenny will be teaching in Year Six in 2023 and I have no doubt that she we be a great addition to our staff.
I would also like to welcome back Mrs Kelly Spencer who will be returning to our school in 2023 after some time off raising her young family. Kelly is an excellent teacher and will be a great addition to our Junior Primary team.
All children will find out their class placements for 2023 this Friday. The children will spend an hour on Friday visiting their new classes and meeting their 2023 teachers.
Just a reminder that the last day of school for 2022 is next Wednesday 14th December. School will finish at the usual time of 3:00pm on this day.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our families a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. I hope you all enjoy the holiday break and I look forward to working with you again when school returns on Monday 30th January, 2023.
As our school year draws to a close, we are reminded of the many blessings that 2022 has presented our community with. This 60th Anniversary year has been full of events where our whole community have celebrated together – from our whole school picnic, to our Anniversary Mass and Concert. 2022 has been a year where our school community has reconnected, and for that, we are blessed.
On Wednesday, volunteers from our local Vinnies collected the many bags of new gifts and food which our community so generously donated. They are extremely grateful for your generosity and have assured us that these donations will help those in need at Christmas.
Our whole school gathered today to celebrate our End of Year Mass. We welcomed Fr Josh Nash and many parents and visitors. As we farewelled our Year 6 cohort, we thanked them for their leadership this year and contribution to the life of our school since they commenced here. Our Year 5 cohort are now ready to assume their place as leaders in our school, and ceremoniously moved to the traditional Year 6 seats in the hall. Over the next few days, our Year 6 students will be reflecting on their own memories of primary school as they prepare for their next step in moving to high school. We keep them and their families in our prayers.
I take this opportunity to wish all members of our school community, a safe, peaceful, and joyous Christmas. May the birth of Jesus at Christmas fill your hearts with love and hope. Stay safe over the Christmas break and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2023.

Learning to speak is probably the hardest part of learning a foreign language; not only can the pressure of having to function in a conversation be stressful enough, but it can be hard to find someone to speak with in general, especially for less common languages. I mean, you could use Verbling or italki and pay a native for their time, but sometimes that's just out of the budget. This is why conversation partners exist.
Instead of spending an arm and a leg to practice speaking your foreign language, you can get in your speaking practice for the price of free.99. Find a conversation partner! A conversation partner is basically your friend in language learning – they'll speak your foreign language natively (or at least fluently), and they'll be learning your language. You take turns practising each other's language in a real-life setting, without worrying about your bank account.
So how does one go about finding a conversation partner? And once you find a conversation partner, how do you keep them? We'll talk about some resources you can use to find language partners who suit your needs and how to be a great conversation partner, so you can (potentially) be set for life!
The first step is, obviously, finding a conversation partner. There are a ton of free resources, and the ones that you use depend completely on your own individual situation; if you're learning in your home country, abroad, whether you want to go out somewhere or stay home, your speaking level, etc. etc.
Throughout the following paragraphs, I highly suggest keeping an eye out for group language exchanges, too. It's a bit of a different animal, but it can be a great place to meet people who are interesting in one-on-one language exchanges with you. Plus, it's always fun to hang out with a bunch of people who share your interests, 'cause we all know how difficult it can be to find other language learners.
For example, if you're living abroad and are learning the local language, it'll obviously be much easier to find language partners. At the very least, you could just walk into a bar and strike up conversation with a local – most people love sharing their language with foreigners; not only that, but native English speakers are fortunate that literally everybody in the world wants to learn our language. Simple!
If that's not your style, you can find meetups organized by other language learners. This is usually specific to larger cities, though, so if you're in a smaller town, you're probably stuck waltzing into a public place and just putting yourself out there. With bigger cities come more opportunities!
Depending on your network while abroad, you can find language partners a few ways. If you're living with a local host, you've got a conversation partner right there in your house with you; if you have the internet, a quick Google search can be your best friend. If you're working abroad through some sort of placement agency, they probably also have a few resources for you.
Finally, there are websites that provide a platform for language learners just like you trying to find a local to practice with. For example, Conversation Exchange is a good site to find locals interesting in language exchanges all over the world. Plus, if you can't find a conversation partner in your area, they have a search for pen pals (great for writing practice!) and online chats.
Lastly, Meetup may or may not have a group or two for you. In the end, if all else fails, check Facebook. They have Facebook groups for everything these days!
If you don't need to meet with a conversation partner in person, this whole search gets a whole lot easier. A lot of language learners can't go abroad to learn their languages, and depend entirely on the internet to learn English. So, fortunately for you, there's a huge population of foreigners online who are looking to practice with you!
Italki is probably one of the most popular resources for this, since it is the most popular resource for paid conversations. So if you're already using italki, or have done so in the past, just click to another tab and you're good to go. If you're not sold, though, there are about half a billion platforms for this. No, seriously.
And, thanks to the fact that these resources are online, you can do more than just speak using most (if not all) of them. There are plenty of opportunities for texting, recording, listening, translating on the spot…the 21st century is an amazing time to live, especially considering most (again, if not all) of them also have apps!
Now, whichever platform you use starts primarily with what you're looking for: Skype, text, video chat, phone call…you've got your options, so start making some decisions. Just remember: you can't practice your speaking over text!
The kind of person you decide to interact with can make a huge difference when it comes to the success of any language exchange. Chemistry is important, but even more important is that you're able to flow between languages somewhat well (more on that later). That being said, you need to be very intentional with who you decide to spend your speaking time with.
First things first: ladies, you need to be more aware than men, unfortunately. And I'm not at all referencing any threat of danger with meeting up with a male (especially since you should be meeting in a public place, like a restaurant or cafe). I'm talking more about men using language exchange platforms as a hookup site. It happens, a lot. Like, even without uploading a picture so men can see what you look like, all you need to do is be a female who speaks English, and your inbox will be full of random men who want to meet up with you.
To account for this, I personally do not attempt language exchanges with men. How you respond to this happening is completely up to you; hell, if you like the attention and want to meet up with these men, more power to you! I just want all you ladies to be aware that it's going to happen, and how I respond to it. I've had many many successful language exchanges with women, so I've never felt like I was missing out!
Now, with that aside, there are a couple things to keep in mind when deciding on a conversation partner. The most important thing is that you're at about the same level of fluency in each of your foreign languages.
This is incredibly important for a couple reasons. First, if your partner is fluent in English but you're only at the beginner stages of fluency, you're likely going to feel real guilty about taking so much time to get your words out of your mouth. When you're at similar levels, it's much easier to feel comfortable taking your time.
Second, when you're at similar levels of fluency, you'll gain the most from your conversations. The topics you'll be able to discuss, for example, are completely different depending on your level of fluency; it'll be hard for you to learn a whole lot from a conversation where you're an advanced speaker but your conversation partner can only talk about green frogs or how often they read or swim.
Then, at the end of the day, it's just not fun to try to have a conversation with someone who isn't at your level of fluency. If they're not advanced enough it's boring; if they're too advanced, you just can't keep up. It's like a little kid trying to sit at the grown-up table at Thanksgiving: the kid has no idea what's going on, and the grown-ups just want to have conversations like adults.
Which brings me to my second point: while it's not completely necessary, I do suggest finding a conversation partner that's around your age. Age is just a number, I know, but it can be more difficult to enjoy a conversation with someone that isn't your age in general, so bringing in a language barrier is only going to make things worse.
Even for the most social of us, it can really be hard to think of something to talk about in another language, especially when speaking practice in the formal school setting is always prompted by a topic you have to discuss. Thinking of language exchange topics can be difficult and/or awkward; if you think you might have a hard time, you might want to go into the exchange with a few topics in mind.
Consider the similarities and differences between you and your conversation partner. You'd be amazed at what you two have in common, especially with globalization. For example, watching The Big Bang Theory is a super popular way for foreigners to learn English, so if you're a fan of the show, this could inspire some great conversation exchange topics. It's the same idea with Game of Thrones, Family Guy, The Simpsons, or any number of trendy, super popular American shows that you better believe are also popular abroad.
As for differences, remember that you come from different cultures! Some of the best language exchange conversation topics are about how different your lives are. You can talk about different holidays, ask them about their favorite English word, or, if your conversation partner has done a lot of different language exchanges in their past, you can ask them what they think are the weirdest parts of American culture. Or, at the very least, do a little research on their culture, find a few interesting tidbits, and ask them about them.
Or, if those language exchange conversation topics are too complex for you, go back to basics. Beginner language learners can talk about how many brothers or sisters they have, their favorite animal, their pets, the job they want or have, or any number of topics that involve basic, beginner vocabulary. It doesn't have to be complicated, especially if you've just met.
Once you've found yourself a decent language exchange partner and can have decent enough conversations, there are ways to make and break both your conversations and the relationship you're (hopefully) making itself. Most of the rules of language exchanges are the same as any kind of friendship: being courteous and understanding, listening to your partner, etc. etc.
My number one suggestion is to set the expectation from the get-go. I've had plenty of experiences with conversation partners: good, neutral, and awful. Be very very clear that you're participating in this language exchange for the purpose of practicing your language, as well; don't let your conversation partner decide that you're going to spend an entire afternoon just speaking in English!
Make sure that you both get an even split of speaking practice. Yes, some days our brains just don't work and a lot of speaking isn't going to happen. Don't feel bad about those days. You're allowed to give your brain a break and let your conversation partner take the stage. However, don't use that as an excuse to never practice the other language. Learning to speak in another language is really hard, but you gotta do it or else it'll never be easy!
The way you go about this is between you and your partner: do you want to talk in English for half an hour, then switch to their language? Do you want to go back and forth as you please, and have more of a free-flowing, bilingual conversation? It's completely up to you. Language exchanges are just purposeful hangouts, so there are no real "rules" to this. Whatever works for the both of you works!
It can be hard to keep consistent hangouts with someone, even with other people who speak your language. Sometimes it's just not in the cards for a certain relationship; follow the rule of "if they want to spend time with you, they'll make the time". A language exchange friendship is just like any other friendship.
That being said, keep open communication with your language partner. Feel free to ask them if they're happy with the balance of English and the other language. Ask if they need you to speak slower, or if they want to meet in a quieter place. Honestly, just showing your conversation partner that you care that they feel comfortable (especially in cultures where it's not as acceptable to speak up about these things) can make a huge difference. Keeping your conversation partner is just like keeping another friend.


My long hair dachshund has short hair?
I brought home this little bag of trouble a few months ago. He's 6 months old now, supposedly a purebread mini long hair dachshund, but he has no papers to prove it. Everything I can find about "long hairs" on the internet shows dogs with much longer hair than his. He's obviously not a short hair or a wire hair though. Is it normal to have one with this kind of hair? Is he really a "long hair"?
I think on long and wire-haired breeds, it takes some time for the adult coat to come in. Correct me if I'm wrong on that!
He may not have hair as long as a show bred longhaired dachshund that you'll find pictures of online, but he's definitely a long haired one. It usually takes 18 months - 2 years for most breeds to come into full coat. The best way to try to guestimate how long his coat is going to be is by looking at his parents and their coat length.
Hehe, boatloads of trouble doxies are, be sure he can't get on top of the table.
He deffinatly looks like a longhair to me. Someone I know has a doxie/chi mix that has a long haired parent in there. It took a while before you could tell. I'd give it time.
Like others have said, he's definitely a longhaired Dachshund. LH Dachshunds usually take about 2 years (sometimes more for the males) for their coat to become full.
It also depends on what his lines are like..
usually males dont finish to get their "full" coat until they are around 1-2yrs of age for those little guys.
Because hes still a baby, I woudln't worry. He looks like a long haired variety.
I don't know Doxies that well , but from the ears , I'd say long haired .
I know some breeds need at least 2 years for their proper coat to come in. If he's only 6 months, I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure you get him used to grooming now. Trying it when his full coat comes in will be alot more effort and a lot less fun.
He looks like a "tweener" to me. They often come out of short to long hair breedings where puppies will sometimes get a poorer coat length due to there being a short haired parent.

Four to die for killing Satkhira college student
Satkhira, Sept 26 (UNB) – A court here on Wednesday sentenced four people to death for killing a college student in 2016.
The condemned convicts are Ali Ahmed Shaon, son of Abdul Alim, Shahadat Hossain, son of Abdul Karim, Saju Sheikh, son of Rezaul Sheikh and Nazmul Hossain of Debhata upazila. Of them, Saju and Shaon tried in absentia.
According to the prosecution, Goutam Sarker, a second-year student of Shimanto Degree College and son of Ganesh Sarker, a UP member of Mahadebnagar village in Sadar upazila, was killed after being abducted by the accused following the previous enmity on December 13, 2016.
The victim's father filed a case accusing six people on December 16, 2016.
Later, on April 18, 2017, police submitted charge-sheet against ten people.
After examining records and witnesses, Satkhira District and Session Judge Sadiqul Islam Talukder handed down the verdict and acquitted six others as allegations brought against them could not be proved.
Two held with 10,000 Yaba pills at Teknaf
Cox's Bazar, Sept 26 (UNB) – Police arrested two people and recovered 10,000 pieces of Yaba tablets from inside a truck on Teknaf-Cox's Bazar road early Wednesday.
The arrestees were identified as Al Amin, 40, a truck driver, son of Mohammad Ismail in Barguna district and Manir Hossain, 28, son of Kalachan Bepari of Shariatpur district.
Tipped off, a team of police conducted a drive in the area at the dead of night and intercepted a truck on Teknaf-Cox's Bazar road, said Ranjit Barua, officer-in-charge of Teknaf Police Station.
Later, police recovered the Yaba tablet, hidden in the truck tactfully and arrested its driver and helper.
Temp rising to affect living standards of 134m Bangladeshis: WB
Dhaka, Sep 26 (UNB) - Nearly half of South Asia's population, including more than three-quarters of Bangladesh's population, is at risk of declining living standards due to rising temperature and erratic rainfall from climate change, says a new World Bank Report.
The report 'South Asia's Hotspots: The Impact of Temperature and Precipitation Changes on Living Standards,' was released here on Wednesday.
The report finds that in the last 60 years the region's average temperatures have increased and will continue rising, which is affecting agriculture, health and productivity.
This could cost Bangladesh 6.7 percent of Gross Domestic Product and depress the living standards of more than three-quarters of the country's population by 2050, it said.
Bangladesh's average annual temperatures are expected to rise by 1.0°C to 1.5°C by 2050 even if preventive measures are taken along the lines of those recommended by the Paris climate change agreement of 2015, it said.
If no measures are taken, then the country's average temperatures are predicted to increase by 1.0°C to 2.5°C, the report reads..
"Around the world, and especially for Bangladesh, climate change is an acute threat to development and efforts to end poverty," said Hartwig Schafer, Vice-president for South Asia Region.
"In addition to the coastal zones, the warming weather will severely affect the country's inland area in the next decades. To deal with climate change, the country needs to focus on creating jobs outside the agriculture sector and improve the capacity of its government institutions. The World Bank is committed to helping Bangladesh become more resilient to climate change," he added.
By 2050, Chittagong Division will be most vulnerable to changing climate. Seven out of the top 10 most-affected hotspot districts--where changes in average temperature and precipitation will have a negative effect on living standards--will be in the Chittagong Division, according to the report
The top two climate hotspots will likely be Cox's Bazar and Bandarban, which may suffer from a more than 18 percent decline in their living standards, followed by Chittagong, Rangamati, and Noakhali.
"These weather changes will result in lower per capita consumption levels that could further increase poverty and inequality in one of the poorest regions of the world, South Asia," says Muthukumara Mani, Report author and World Bank Lead Economist in the South Asia Region.
"Identifying hotspots will help policymakers in finding specific locations and household types where the resources are needed the most to address the rising risk to living standards."
Myanmar must take concrete steps to help Rohingyas return: Shahriar
Dhaka, Sept 26 (UNB) - Bangladesh has said Myanmar must take concrete steps in areas of core concerns of Rohingyas in order to motivate the potential returnees to opt for voluntary return.
Bangladesh has also sought steps from Myanmar to ensure 'conducive environment' for Rohingyas' return to the Rakhine State and Myanmar should share detailed information on this with the concerned people.
"Pressure must be mounted and maintained on Myanmar to take back their nationals, guaranteeing their rights," said State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam.
He was addressing at the OIC Contact Group Meeting on Rohingyas at UN Headquarters in New York on Tuesday.
The State Minister said visible steps should be taken by Myanmar and confidence must be built so that the displaced Rohingyas feel safe and encouraged to return.
"We are committed to their voluntary repatriation and already signed an agreement with UNHCR to get the voluntariness done in an impartial manner," he said.
Shahriar also said this is not a problem between Bangladesh and Myanmar but between Myanmar authorities and its own nationals, which is unduly affecting Bangladesh.
"The problem originated in Myanmar, and its solution must be found in Myanmar. Bangladesh seeks a peaceful solution," he said.
With the help of international community, the state minister said Bangladesh has been efficiently handling the complex humanitarian emergency with all sorts of humanitarian assistance including shelter, food, health, water and sanitation.
"However, so far only about 34 percent of the assessed humanitarian assistance needed for the current year could be ensured," he said.
It is critical that International community does not lose focus of the issue especially, its human rights aspect including the Rohingyas' inalienable right to exist in their homeland as a community with their distinct history and culture of the land under state protection of Myanmar, the State Minister said.
There is also question of justice and accountability to address and heal Rohingya's wounds for sustainable reintegration, national reconciliation and end of unbridled impunity, Shahriar said.
This includes, inter alia, ensuring safety and security for the returnees, rebuilding destroyed villages/houses, creating livelihood opportunities, ensuring access to basic services and assistance, granting freedom of movement, addressing citizenship issue.
"It appears that Myanmar's readiness to start the repatriation is limited to creating transit facilities and showcasing it to the international community of Myanmar," said the state minister.
Ensure easy transfer of technology at low cost, PM to world community
New York, Sept 26 (UNB) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the international community has the responsibility to ensure easy transfer of technology at low cost among all countries of the world to face the possible challenges and risks during the era of this 'Fourth Industrial Revolution'.
She made the remarks while delivering her speech at the World Economic Forum's plenary session titled 'Sustainable Development in the Fourth Industrial Revolution' at the Plenary Hall of the UN headquarters here on Tuesday.
Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque briefed reporters after the event held with President of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Borge Brende in the chair.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Johnson & Johnson CEO and Mozilla Firefox CEO were invited to attend the WEF's plenary session.
The speakers focused on the activities of different countries to deal with the possible impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in terms of education, job and health.
The invitees were asked to inform what they think about the possible challenges and risks due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
In her response, Sheikh Hasina said Bangladesh is a small country having huge population. "So, the biggest challenges are to ensure their food security, provide them with proper education and equipped them technologically so that they can secure jobs in the changed situation," she said.
Talking about 'Digital Bangladesh', Hasina mentioned her government's vision over how Bangladesh can get connected with the world so that its people can be benefited.
"The international community has the responsibility so that we can get the technology easily at low cost as we're not major technology-producing countries."
Hasina said Bangladesh needs to make its people equipped with technological skills by introducing different vocational training programmes so that they can remove the risks of losing jobs in this era.
She mentioned about Bangladesh's different programmes in the educational sector, including distribution of free textbooks and providing stipends to promote women education. "Now more than four crore students are getting stipends in Bangladesh," she added.
Addressing the event, Dutch Prime Minister appreciated the Bangladesh Prime Minister for providing shelter to forcibly displaced Rohingyas cordially.
All the participants warmly welcomed this appreciation clapping hands.
Later, WEF President Borge Brende sat in a separate meeting with the Bangladesh Prime Minister at the Call on Room of Place of Residence.
The WEF President invited the Prime Minister to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum to be held at Davos in Switzerland in January 2019.
Some 100 heads of government and State as well as big investors usually join the annual meeting. "So, Bangladesh can raise its investment and development scenarios at the meeting," said the WEF President praising Sheikh Hasina for the development of Bangladesh.
Hasina also had a meeting with Queen Maxima of the Netherlands at the UN headquarters.
Queen Maxima, who is a special representative of the UN Secretary General on Social Inclusion, congratulated the Prime Minister on Bangladesh's outstanding improvement in the financial social inclusion according to the Little Data Book on Financial Inclusion 2018, a publication of the World Bank group.
The Dutch queen said Bangladesh has done better than many other countries in the financial inclusion index and assured of working with Bangladesh continuously in this regard.
