What surprised you most about becoming a dad?
by Suzanne Loring
Matt Schrag, Duxbury
Job: Musician
Son: Alex, 3
Up until I had a child, I had always done what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. I have always been a very independent person who needed a lot of time to myself. When my son, Alex, was born, that independence came to a halt. I could no longer go out when I wanted, or sleep as late as I wanted. The time I used to take for myself was now devoted to Alex. I never realized how selfish I was or how hard of an adjustment this was going to be.
However, I've been noticing that as Alex gets older, he, too, has a strong need for independent time, and he's beginning to take it on his own. He'll just go up to his room and play by himself for a while and come down when he wants some company. It's taken a while to get here, but I love that we can sometimes do things on our own during our days together.

My parents listen to classical music. Now that I've hit 35, I can handle it. I even find myself enjoying it when I'm at their house. When I was 15, however, it was awful. Road trips were especially rough. Stuck in a car, we would take turns controlling the dial, each oscillating between happy and miserable. It's only in hindsight that what I considered a compromise — Alice in Chains' acoustic EP, for instance — was a sacrifice for my folks.
What surprised me about fatherhood is that I, too, have become a martyr. My daughter's vice? Julie Andrews. Thankfully, she's willing to compromise. "Daddy," she says, "it's your turn." But after a song or two from my playlist, it's back to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" or "The Lonely Goatherd." Have mercy. Life is stuck on repeat, with me in the same rut as my parents in the '90s. But seeing her smile — her utter glee — it's worth it.
Barrett Jones, Montpelier
Teacher, U-32 High School
Son: Emmett, 2
I was surprised by the sheer volume of stuff we received. First of all, I couldn't believe how generous our friends and family were. They came out of the woodwork and sent all kinds of baby gifts. We received hundreds of dollars worth of nice gear: a car seat, a travel booster seat, a play mat, bottles, toys, bedding and so many clothes!
People get so excited for you when you're having a baby. Not only that, but if they've had kids themselves, they send the gear that proved to be most useful to them. At first, a lot of it seemed like overkill. I thought there was no way we needed all that gear. In time, I was surprised — again — to learn how much easier it made our lives to have all these gadgets and gizmos.

Children: Son Sebastian, 5; daughter Isobel, 3
There was so much anticipation and joy involved in becoming a dad for the first time. The day my son was born was certainly one of the happiest of my life.
However, a few months into fatherhood, I began feeling down and constantly tired. I was having difficulty finding joy in my life and began losing interest in things that had always made me feel happy. I have always been an even-keeled person. I initially attributed how I was feeling to a lack of sleep and the stress of balancing my responsibilities at work with all of the new ones I had at home. But even after things began settling down and I became more used to this new life, my feelings of depression continued.
I paid a visit to my primary-care physician. She told me I was suffering from depression and sent me home with a prescription. It was not until almost a year later that I learned I had been experiencing the male equivalent of postpartum depression. Now that was a surprise. My son is now 5, I have a daughter who is 3 and, thankfully, I am once again experiencing joy and happiness in life as a father.

Late Show With Stephen Colbert/YouTube
Mindy Kaling Hilarious Reveals Her Daughter Kit "Really Hates" Having A Baby Brother
"I think Spencer should go."
by Jen McGuire
In a perfect world, big sisters and brothers would instantly fall in love with their new baby siblings. They would accept the new family members as just a part of their new reality and go on with their little lives. This was not the case for Mindy Kaling, who revealed that her 3-year-old daughter Katherine "Kit" is still struggling to embrace the fact that her 10-month-old brother Spencer is part of the family now. Apparently she would just like him to go.
The Never Have I Ever creator sat down for a chat with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show on Wednesday night, where she immediately thanked him for inviting her out to New York because she got to leave her two kids at home. "They're with somebody in Los Angeles," she explained. "It's just so nice. I got to get dressed up." Kaling also enthused about "not having to change a diaper, I don't have to pretend to watch Daniel Tiger with anyone..."
Kaling's stay in New York also provided a respite for Kit's continued resistance to her little brother Spencer. When Colbert, who is himself a father of three, asked how Kit was feeling about having another child in the house, The Office star said, "She really hates it. There are moments when it feels like she will sort of tolerate him, but she's not the biggest fan right now."
Mindy Kaling's daughter is having trouble warming to baby Spencer.
It seems Kit would prefer a little brother who was as out of sight as possible. "She's always telling us to put him in another room," Kaling told Colbert. "We'll be all having dinner together and she'll be like, 'I think Spencer should go.'"
Kaling has been dealing with Kit's resistance to her baby brother ever since he was born last September during the pandemic. When she announced Spencer's arrival in a Zoom interview with Colbert, she admitted her daughter was "very ambivalent at first, I would say, to be generous," about her brother's birth. "She was really worried about her toys getting taken."
Now that Spencer is 10 months old and more mobile, perhaps Kit's fears are coming to fruition. Or perhaps it's just a case of very different personalities. Kaling told Romper in an interview in February that Spencer has a "bubbly" personality, while her daughter tends to be more independent.
Hopefully Kit will warm to her brother in time. Or not. Who knows?

Sculpting the streets
Story by Emily Albrent
The Eau Claire downtown area will yet again be decorated with a wide range of sculptures starting May 7. The Sculpture Tour is a way to bring life to Eau Claire's art scene and add to the beauty of downtown, according to tour organizers.
Benny Haas, an organizer of the sculpture tour, said there were three main goals for the Sculpture Tour: "decorating" Eau Claire sidewalks, bringing business downtown and providing a free event for people to enjoy the arts.
"It is kind of a tourist attraction," said Mike Schatz, the economic development director at City Hall. "It certainly shows the commitment that this community has to the arts."
According to the Sculpture Tour website, the tour is a free event in which the sculptures are owned by the artists and loaned to the exhibit. Haas said the sculptures can even be purchased, and some from last year's tour will be staying permanently in Eau Claire.
The website states that the artists and their sculptures do not just come from the Eau Claire area. They are imported to the downtown area from across the United States, England and Canada.
Schatz said a mailing goes out to artists all over who then can choose whether or not to participate. A team then reviews the sculptures and chooses which ones will be right for the community.
Schatz said the last tour of sculptures helped bring more people into the downtown area. Residents and visitors could spend a day looking at the sculptures and in the end, discover the local businesses.
"They could be standing in front of a store looking at a sculpture and they may turn around and say, 'Oh, this looks like an interesting place to visit,'" Schatz said.
Last year, the sculptures were a hit, Schatz said. They captured the community and made an impact on local culture, while involving Eau Claire residents in the planning process.
"They have had a great team of volunteers that have been able to keep their costs low in terms of building the bases for the sculptures and moving them," Schatz said.
Schatz added that the reconstruction of Barstow Street will be postponed for a year to make safe space for the sculpture's homes.
"It was part of the whole process of looking at the timing," he said. "We want to be accommodating. So when we have to do the constructing we want to make sure they have other spots within the downtown that they can place the sculptures," Schatz said.
According to Haas, the new sculptures will be placed throughout South and North Barstow Streets, cutting all the way up through Madison Street to Luther Hospital.

Harry Likes Music: Biffy Clyro // Opposites - Review: "Any excuse for more Biffy is a good one"
Biffy Clyro // Opposites - Review: "Any excuse for more Biffy is a good one"
Firstly, I really don't understand the backlash on this album. Like most fans, hearing one of your top rated bands are releasing a double album, a DOUBLE album, sounds great to me. Yeah, I even liked Stadium Arcadium, it had its moments (I can't even remember RHCPs latest albums title, that's how good it was). Biffy Clyro presented me with the opportunity to survive the gap between new albums with double the material than I would usually. Besides, any excuse for more Biffy is a good one.
Now, it is the material I can see why people are questioning. I think two separate albums over maybe a year would have been better maybe, or even just one. The problem is, for me, every song has its own merits. I really, really like some of the new songs, and they are up their with there bests. The riffs are riper than ever, the lyrics hysterically clever, and as catchy as ever. I am most certainly not an original fan, from the start, I started with Puzzle - but that does not mean I am not a "true" fan. This is what irks me with the fan base. We all "MON THE BIFF!", but maybe if you dropped your grudges against them dropping their old style, you might just, y'know, enjoy yourselves?
One reason for the enjoyment is the quality that is on show here from one of the greatest rock bands of resent time, THERE I said it. Lyrics such as "Ancient Rome, we built that fucker stone by stone" and "We're always running scared, but holding knives" are only a slice off the surface of their creativity. Most of that is put into the lyrics and the guitar equally. In particular, Victory Over The Sun and Sounds Like Balloons stick out for me, with both having catchy riffs.
When I said every song has its own merits, I wasn't joking. Spanish Radio is a superb showing in musical diversity, with a very un-Biffy sound, but good nonetheless. Biffy already have an identity, so can afford to muck about with the occasional song like this. Most are true Biffy songs, of late, and collectively are probably better than the last two albums, if not just Only Revolutions.

Lord George Macartney, född 14 maj 1737, död 31 maj 1806, var en brittisk diplomat och kolonialguvernör.

Han var 1764-1767 utomordentligt sändebud i Ryssland för avslutande av ett handelstraktat, blev 1768 medlem av underhuset och var 1769-1772 förste sekreterare för Irland. 1775-1780 var Macartney guvernör över Karibiska öarna i Västindien och 1781-1785 guvernör i Madras. 1775 blev han adlad till baron och 1792 till earl.

1792 utsåg Henry Dundas Macartney att leda den första brittiska beskickningen till Peking, där han försökte verka för ett lättande av de handelsrestriktioner som brittiska köpmän verkat under i Guangzhou sedan 1760. Macartneys vägran att enligt kinesisk sed utföra koutou vid en audiens hos Qianlong-kejsaren i september 1793 höll på att skapa en diplomatisk kris, men en kompromiss utarbetades och kejsaren gav till slut Macartney audiens i sitt sommarresidens i Jehol. Kejsaren var dock ovillig att ge efter för Macartneys krav och han återvände till England med oförrättat ärende.

Från december 1796 till november 1798 var han guvernör över den kort förut från holländarna erövrade Kapkolonin. Macartney upphöjdes 1776 till irländsk baron och 1792 till irländsk earl. Hans skildringar av sina resor till Ryssland och Kina är tryckta i sir John Barrows Life and writings of lord Macartney (två band, 1807).

Now it's only AT&T and Verizon that have yet to release the update to LG G4 owners.
We've already seen the LG G4 and LG G3 rolled out with the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow for them in different parts of the globe – now all eyes are on the LG G2. However, using LG-Bridge seems easy enough, so if you need Marshmallow in a hurry, you can now do so. The process seems rather straightforward, at least in terms of using PC software to update your smartphone.
As we have been saying all the time, LG is quite active with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update and has been sending it out to its phones slowly now.
Right now, this particular build will carry the version number H801120i, which will bring along with it a fair number of enhancements and improvements. The only requirements for downloading the update are a data connection (obviously), 50% or higher battery life (that's reasonable) and 963MB of free space (again, obviously). T-Mobile is the third United States carrier to update its G4 variant to Android 6.0 after Sprint and USA cellular, and, in case you're wondering, we're talking about the H811 model. For those who would prefer to perform manual checks after waiting in vain for a notification, do the usual by selecting "Settings", and going through the following sequence of choices: About Phone – Update Center – System Updates – Check for Update. Otherwise, you will just have to wait for the OTA update to actually arrive. Do so, and then only proceed with the OTA update.

Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency
What is Apprenticeship?
Discover Youth Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a form of post-secondary education for both young and mature individuals who want to be certified to work in a skilled trade. It is a combination of on‑the‑job and technical training where skilled trades professionals (certified journeypersons) pass on knowledge and skills to learners (apprentices).
Apprenticeship begins with an agreement between an apprentice and an employer. The apprentice agrees to work for the employer in exchange for supervised, on-the-job training and experience, and the opportunity to participate in the necessary technical training. In the workplace, apprentices are supervised by a certified journeyperson who tracks both their hours and competence in the practical skills of the trade. Take a Test Drive.
Pathways to apprenticeship
Direct-entry into apprenticeship
Did you know that you can start an apprenticeship with little or no trade experience? If you can find an employer who is willing to hire and train you as an apprentice, you can start to earn money and learn the skills of your chosen career right away. There is no requirement to attend a college or other trades-training program prior to registering as an apprentice.
Example: Jane finishes high school and immediately finds an employer who agrees to register her as an Automotive Service Technician (AST) apprentice. The employer will ensure that Jane works under the supervision of a certified journeyperson who will teach her the skills of her trade. Typically, Jane will work and train on-the-job for about one year before going to school to attend apprenticeship technical training (approximately 6 to 8 weeks per year). As AST is a four-year trade, Jane will repeat this cycle of workplace and in-school training for four levels.
Pre-employment Training Programs
Many employers want to hire individuals who already have some basic knowledge and skills in a trade. Pre-employment training programs are geared to provide their students with entry-level, job-ready skills to help them find a job in their chosen trade. These programs are typically taught in both a classroom and in-school shop setting (e.g., full-time college program). You do NOT need an employer to attend this type of training.
Completing a pre-employment program may make it easier for you to find an employer who will hire and register you as an apprentice. Many pre-employment programs are approved by the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency, which enables graduates to receive credit towards completion of an apprenticeship program.
Example: John attends an approved pre-employment AST program. Upon graduation he finds an employer who is willing to hire and register him as an AST apprentice. John will have to complete the same requirements as Jane in the Direct-entry example above; however, he may be eligible to receive an initial credit of hours and possible exemption from the first level of technical training (or approval to challenge the level exam).
Direct-entry (employer required)
Pre-employment Training Programs (employer not required)
Technical training is offered in class and/or online and is administered and arranged by the agency. Upon completion of the apprenticeship program (including technical training, on-the-job hours and competency in workplace practical skills), apprentices are eligible to write the certification exam.
Apprentices achieving a mark of 70% or greater on the certification/Red Seal exam will receive both a Certificate of Qualification and a Certificate of Apprenticeship and become a certified journeyperson.
Certification, Red Seal
If the trade is Red Seal, the certification exam is the Red Seal exam. Apprentices achieving a passing mark will receive the Red Seal on their Certificate of Qualification and ID Card. This endorsement is a recognised standard across Canada; one that employers look for as an indication of competency in the range of skills and knowledge that define the trade.
Check out the financial supports that can assist on the journey to trade certification.
There is a wide range of financial supports available to assist individuals on their journey from apprentice to certified journeyperson. There are also supports for employers.
Employment Insurance benefits, awards, grants and loans are available for apprentices. As well, the Job Creation Tax Credit and START program are available to assist employers who hire apprentices. Check out the financial supports.

Stevia: Good news for sustainability
James Townsend | Nov 01, 2009
The FDA's long-overdue approval of Reb-A from stevia as a sweetener is likely the hottest ingredient story of 2009, but the implications go beyond profits for the companies such as Pure-Circle that are in the forefront of providing Reb-A.
That stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar is a significant fact for the environment in itself. "It means that stevia has a much lower land impact than other sweeteners," said Jason Hecker, PureCircle's director of marketing for North and South America. "One hectare of land can produce 100kg of Reb-A, which is equivalent to 20 metric tonnes of sugar. This frees up a lot of land for food and energy production."
The suddenly booming industry has been developing for 40 years, Hecker said, with the support of small family-owned farms that produce corn, rice and other food crops. Presently, PureCircle gets most of its stevia in China, but it has set up growing operations in Thailand, Paraguay and Ken-ya, as well. "We work with small farmers throughout the world, providing agronomists to educate them about sustainable farming techniques," Hecker said. "We now have leaf being grown for us in seven countries across three continents."
In addition, Pure-Circle is investing heavily in water treatment processes. "The extraction of stevia begins with water," Hecker said, "and we are treating the water to meet or exceed the standards in the areas where we are working. Most of the water used is actually recycled back into the operations."
Finally, the China operation is about to go online with a reclamation project in which the leftover biomass after extraction of the stevia leaf's 11 glycosides is used to create a projected equivalent of 1,200 kilowatt hours of energy. Hecker said he expects that this will be the prototype for the other emerging operations.
"In general," he said of PureCircle's philosophy on sustainability and social responsibility, "all our operating principles are meant to be aligned with the nature of our product — it comes directly from nature, from the leaf, it is all natural."

title: "Kata-Kata Terakhir Yesus"
date: 19/07/2022
---

Yesus berada di Yerusalem, untuk mati. Menurut Injil Matius, jam pengajaran terakhir Yesus sebelum Paskah, dihabiskan untuk menceritakan perumpamaan kepada murid-murid-Nya, termasuk perumpamaan tentang sepuluh gadis serta domba dan kambing. Kisah-kisah ini berhubungan dengan cara kita harus hidup saat kita menunggu kedatangan Yesus. Jadi relevansinya dengan hari ini—dengan tanda-tanda kedatangan Yesus yang segera di sekitar kita—tidak pernah lebih signifikan.

Dalam perumpamaan sepuluh gadis _(Mat. 25: 1-12)_, banyak komentator menunjukkan bahwa minyak adalah lambang Roh Kudus. Ellen G. White setuju, tetapi juga mengatakan bahwa minyak ini adalah simbol karakter dan itu adalah sesuatu yang tidak dapat diperoleh siapa pun untuk kita.

**Bacalah perumpamaan tersebut. Dalam hal apakah makna cerita tersebut berubah, tergantung pada apakah Anda melihat minyak sebagai simbol Roh Kudus atau kepemilikan karakter? Apakah implikasi dari cerita ini bagi Anda jika minyak melambangkan Roh Kudus, atau karakter seperti Kristus?**

`Roh Kudus:`

`Karakter:`

`Bacalah perumpamaan tentang domba dan kambing dalam Matius 25: 31-46. Kriteria apakah yang digunakan untuk memisahkan domba dan kambing?`

Perhatikan bahwa raja memisahkan domba dan kambing berdasarkan pekerjaan mereka, karakter mereka. Meskipun Yesus tidak mengajarkan keselamatan melalui perbuatan di sini, kita dapat melihat betapa pentingnya pengembangan karakter dalam rencana keselamatan dan bagaimana mereka yang benar-benar diselamatkan oleh Kristus akan mencerminkan keselamatan itu melalui kehidupan dan karakter mereka.

`Ada pepatah yang mengatakan bahwa "karakter adalah sosok seseorang dalam kegelapan." Orang seperti apakah Anda ketika tidak ada orang yang melihat? Apakah yang diberitahukan oleh jawaban Anda tentang perubahan-perubahan yang perlu Anda lakukan?`

Results from the largest prospective study of its kind indicate that 24-hour rest-activity characteristics from wrist-wearable devices predicted adverse symptom outcomes in the 8 weeks after traumatic stress exposure. In a diverse group of individuals, variability in 24-hour activity based on wrist accelerometry reported greater pain severity.
During the 8 weeks after trauma, changes in several rest-activity measures were also associated with changes in pain, sleep, how long does selsun take to work and anxiety in this group of patients. Additionally, simple thresholds for these biomarkers identified individuals with good recovery for pain, sleep, and anxiety with high predictive value.
Wrist wearables with accelerometry are easy to wear and commonly used among consumers, and this research, published in the JAMA Psychiatry, suggests that 24-hour rest-activity characteristics obtained from these devices might identify those who will recover from trauma in high-risk populations.
"These findings are important both to identify specific individuals who are vulnerable to pain and mental health problems after trauma, and to test potential treatments focused on reducing these problems for individuals who have recently experienced traumatic events," said lead author Laura Straus, Ph.D., staff research psychologist at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and assistant professor of psychiatry at UC San Francisco.
This research is part of the national Advancing Understanding of RecOvery afteR traumA (AURORA) Study.
AURORA allows researchers to leverage data from patient participants who enter emergency departments at hospitals across the country after experiencing trauma, such as car accidents or other serious incidents. The ultimate goal of AURORA is to spur on the development and testing of preventive and treatment interventions for individuals who have experienced traumatic events.
AURORA scientists have known that only a subset of trauma survivors develop long-term pain and mental health difficulties, and that this is especially true in individuals from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. No objective assessment methods or biomarkers are available to determine who will recover from trauma versus who will develop long-term symptoms.
To examine the question if any candidate biomarkers could be identified based on wrist-wearable data, participants wore a study watch for 8 weeks, beginning in the emergency department, and completed periodic smartphone-based assessments of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Straus and her colleagues derived and validated rest-activity characteristics that were associated with specific self-report symptom domains at a point in time, and changes in symptom severity over time.
"We found that several rest-activity measures were associated with changes in pain over time. We also found that objective sleep/wake fragmentation was associated with changes in pain, self-reported sleep problems, and anxiety," said Thomas Neylan, a senior author on the paper and professor of psychiatry from UC San Francisco. "These findings highlight a potential use for wrist-wearables in identifying who may need further evaluation and support after a trauma."
"These latest findings are very exciting because they suggest objective biomarkers from wearable devices could be used as screening tools to help patients and physicians identify whether symptoms are improving or worsening post-trauma," said McLean, a senior author on the paper. "Studies focusing on the early aftermath of trauma are critical because we need a better understanding of how adverse symptoms develop so we can prevent and treat them."

Dean Paul Robbins and Nelson Institute alumnus attend WFAA "Fighting Extinction" event
During the Year of the Environment, as the Nelson Institute celebrates its 50th anniversary and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the Institute is also proud to celebrate all of the amazing alumni contributing to environmental studies. As a part of this celebration, Nelson Institute Dean Paul Robbins traveled to San Francisco for the "Fighting Extinction" event where UW-Madison alumni from the Bay area came together to discuss how the environmental movement has transformed lives and how the next 50 years may determine the fate of our planet.
The alumni event, which was held on September 27 at the California Academy of Sciences, was hosted by the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association (WFAA) and Nelson Institute alumna Elizabeth Bagley, the director of Sustainability at the California Academy of Sciences. The event featured speeches by a range of alumni including Nelson Institute alumna and restoration biologist for Point Reyes National Seashore, Ellen Hamingson MS'07, Nelson Institute alumnus and interim chief scientist and vice president of conservation science for the National Audubon Society, Chad Wilsey MS'05, as well as UW-Madison graduate ('75), former U.S. senator, ambassador for the Campaign for Nature in support of the Convention on Biodiversity, and co-chair of the 50th anniversary of the Nelson Institute and Earth Day, Russ Feingold.
Together, attendees and speakers discussed the loss of biodiversity and its related challenges as well as the role that Nelson Institute and its alumni will play in securing a healthy environmental future.
"The UN tells us that one million species are on the brink of extinction and a recent study shows that one-third of all the birds in North American have vanished since 1970. Think: three billion birds…," said Dean Robbins. "The University of Wisconsin has the tools to turn the tide on this, including conservation training, habitat restoration science, and the genetic skills to preserve countless species. We can address this problem head-on. This campus is the place to start."
We invite you to learn more about future WFFA events and connect with Nelson Institute via Badger Bridge.

That evening, Edmund was having his dinner of thick chunky soup that was almost a stew, alone in the large dining room, feeling discouraged. Kolb had simply taken the letter and vanished into his room. He felt like something had happened that he had missed out on.
He was almost finished with his meal when the door opened and Wislydale shakily strode into the room with a tall glass of wine at his hand.
Edmund remained seated and poked at his soup while Wislydale carefully sat down, grinned, and began to wave his glass about his head like a baton. Edmund could tell he had drunk quite a bit more than he usually had by dinner.
"I've been impressed with you, my lad," he said, his eyes half closed. "You're made of stern stuff, to stick it out here, what? Swimming with sharks, as they say. Quite capital work my boy." Edmund nodded politely. He wasn't entirely sure he agreed. "I wanted to make sure you knew that," Wislydale continued, "because I'm sure you don't hear it very often from anyone else. Yes," Wislydale nodded without waiting for a reply. "The Mouldes aren't really made for compliments, what? Not enough room in the heart for other folks, really. It's too bad. I can't imagine it's a fun life you lead… full of jumping up and down to Matron's whip, carrying her letters, dodging barbed tongues and sharp smiles…" He trailed off, staring deeply into his last few swallows of wine. Careful not to disturb him, Edmund took another spoonful of almost a stew.
"Leave?" Edmund wasn't sure he had heard correctly. Wislydale nodded, pulling a small bank-note out from his pocket.


Virtual visitation is a form of visitation that enables a parent and a child to communicate using email, video chats and other virtual methods. This isn't meant to be a substitute for regular visitation, but it is a good option for parents who simply live too far to get the child often.
When you are using virtual visitation, you need to think about the child's schedule. If you live in a different time zone, such as a military parent halfway across the world, this might mean that you have to lose sleep to make your visits. It is important that you put the child's schedule first since you don't want your child to suffer.
During the virtual visit, you must have unrestricted access to your child. This means that the other parent can't stand over the child and instruct the child about what to say.
There is a seemingly endless list of ways that you can interact with your child when you have virtual visitation. You could go over nursery rhymes with a young child or help a teen with homework. You have to find out what works for your child.
As you think about your child custody agreement, decide if virtual visitation is something that you need to include. If it is, make sure that you include all vital points that will be necessary to make the virtual visits work as they should.

Ex-Miss Universe Malaysia Slammed For ControversialComments on 'Black People'
Samantha Katie James, who won the title in 2017, caused a furore by saying African-Americans "chose to be born as a coloured person in America".
The Miss Universe Malaysia Organization (MUMO) issued a statement late Monday (Jun 1) on Instagram to distance themselves from recent remarks made by former Miss Universe Malaysia winner Samantha Katie James.
MUMO said that James' views were her own and not affiliated with the organisation. They added: "MUMO stands for a non-racial society and strongly condemns all acts of racism and prejudice anywhere in the world."
The statement comes after James caused a furore online with her comments on the Black Lives Matter protests in the US, following the death of George Floyd.
James, who won the title in 2017, posted her thoughts on her Instagram Stories on Monday afternoon, reported the Malay Mail. She wrote: "I don't live in America, it has nothing to do with me, but to me, it seems like the 'whites' won."
"If you're angry, you respond in rage and anguish and that means it has power over you. They have power over you," she added. "Foolish humans."
She later posted again on her Stories, saying: "To the black people, relax, take it as a challenge, makes you stronger. You chose to be born as a 'coloured' person in America for a reason. To learn a certain lesson. Accept it as it is, till now hunger and poverty still exists. It is what it is. It's inevitable. Best you can do is remain calm, protect heart, don't allow it to crumble. That's your responsibility."
Understandably, social media users were incensed with her remarks, with one user questioning her assertion that black people "chose" to be born so.
James posted her reply to the DM on her Stories, in which she explained: "Like our souls chose this life, this country, this race, this human form specifically for a reason. I always wondered why I was born in Malaysia as a white girl with a Chinese mum and Indian grandparents and a Brazilian dad. But I chose this all for a reason, as a soul."
Many users are still calling her out for her comments, with one person saying, "Imagine telling black people to 'just relax' as if this isn't something they've been dealing with for YEARS. you should've just sat there and ate your food."
Another user commented on James' recent post: "No one CHOSE to be born a certain color. Black people have been protesting for YEARS and yet they still get racially profiled and killed because white privilege allows it. Perhaps don't comment on things you don't have any clue of?"

Out and Proud Serving the Communities Where We Live and Work
It's true, at Comcast we pride ourselves for celebrating and uplifting inclusion and diversity across our team and the communities we serve.
This year, just like in previous years, Comcast California participated in one of the largest pride festivals in the world, the San Francisco Pride Parade.
Last Sunday, June 30, 2019, nearly 300 Comcast NBCUniversal employees, including those from our sister companies, Comcast Spotlight, Comcast Innovation Center, NBC News Bay Area, NBC Sports Bay Area, and Telemundo 48, took the streets of San Francisco in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
https://california.comcast.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2019/07/Pride-2019-low.mp4
"It's so important that organizations like Comcast and others come here to Pride and celebrate the diversity that we have in our employees and customers," said Beth Hester, Vice President of External Affairs at Comcast California.
Kicking off the Pride festivities, Comcasters walked alongside the Comcast float that commemorated the Stonewall 50 riots, a historical event that ignited the fight for equality of the LGBTQ+ community.
"The Stonewall Riots were one of the first efforts to secure our rights as LGTBQ and we wanted to bring that theme into our float today as an effort to commemorate such milestone and align with SF Pride's theme," said Lavel Brady, Events Manager at Comcast California.
Like every year, OUT, the LGBTQ+ employee resource group (ERG) at Comcast played a crucial role at organizing the contingency that walked in the parade.
"What I love of the Comcast OUT ERG is that I can be myself. We have freedom and are encouraged to be who we are," said Orlando Kurz, Supervisor, CommOps and OUT ERG board member.
Proud to be a part of the Comcast/NBCU family. Here is to a more diverse, inclusive and loving future for all. Happy pride! Xx pic.twitter.com/8SeAI5GnAu
— Sally Shin (@sallyshin) July 1, 2019
For Jackie MayBeck, Senior Director of Retail Sales, having and encouraging diversity is simply good for the business. "What's amazing about having an inclusive and diverse workforce is it's not just about whether it's sexual orientation, color, religion, it's really about diversity of thought."
What was special about this year's partnership with SF Pride was that Comcast Xfinity was the presenting sponsor of the Latin and Soul of Pride stages at the SF Pride Festival that took place Saturday and Sunday, featuring talent such as Ninel Conde and Amara "La Negra" to name a few.
In addition, Comcast Xfinity hosted a meet & greet with this year's SF Pride Celebrity Grand Marshals: The cast of the popular Starz original series, VIDA.
Right after the parade ended, Mishel Prada (Emma), Ser Anzoategui (Eddy), Roberta Colindrez (Nico), Chelsea Rendon (Mari), Adrián González (Rudy) and Tonatiuh Elizarraraz (Marcos) met with dozens of fans who came to meet them and get a photo with them at the Xfinity Booth during the SF Pride festival.
VIDA, a groundbreaking show that has risen to fame for their genuine portrayal of Latinx and LGBTQ+ life in Los Angeles, had released its second season in May and is featured on the Xfinity LGBTQ permanent collection on Xfinity's X1 video platform.
"There is a lot of pride in being here with our fans. Being here for the people who want to see the show. And that's the thing, VIDA is not for certain people, it's not for queer people, it's not for brown people, it's made for everyone," said Colindrez.

Q: Limits to infinity - some wonders $a_n \to 0$ , $b_n \to \infty$
Is it true that:
A) $$\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}(a_n - b_n) = -\infty$$
B)$$\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{a_n}{b_n}=0$$
Well about A I couldn't find a counter example so I'm tending to say that A is true.
About B I think its true too but I know that $\infty $ limits tend to be tricker than the human logic.
I also curios what will happen if I do:
$$\lim \limits_{n \to \infty}\frac{b_n}{a_n}$$  Will the limit in this case be $\infty$?

A: $A$ and $B$ are true by arithmetic of limits:
sum of limits acts like you would expect as far it's not "$\infty-\infty$", and for B consider $|a_n/b_n|\le |1/b_n|$ starting at some $N$
$C$ is false, you could get for example limit $-\infty$:
$a_n=-1/n$, $b_n=n$.
while: $b_n/a_n=-n^2\rightarrow -\infty $

You may not realize this but I tend to be very predictable in my everyday life. Fashion is how I express myself and break away from predictability. I can be chic and causal one day and cool and edgy the next. I have always wanted to do a shoot with a graffiti backdrop and I felt so cool in this outfit.
All black with a check or plaid shirt tied around the waist is such a classic outfit and perfect for the fall season. However, since it's always summer time in Bangkok, I dress up depending on my mood. For summer I think an all white look with a plaid or denim shirt would be perfect, I might actually do an outfit post on that. I wore this outfit with sneakers to be comfy but I prefer it with heels, what do you guys prefer?
"Its not what you wear but how you wear it "
You look so pretty, I love the outfit with the heels!!
the graphics behind you are also dope!
Cute girl!! The background goes great with your look!!
I love how simple yet cool this look is.
I love this look. I prefer this version with the heels. I just love your sunglasses...looks so retro.
You look fabulous, especially loving those shoes!
Love this look! Love it with the heels!
I love it with the heels and I love the choice of heels. The graphic design on that wall is so cool.
The back drop is everything ! I have spotted a place like this near mine , just yet to come up with a perfect outfit for such a cool back drop . I love the all black with a touch of tartan . U look amazing .
Lovely background and edgy look.

Oh wow I love this look! You look so fly!!!

United Arab Emirates DVD-ROM Digi-Book
We were approached by Trident Media to design an exciting interactive e-book on the United Arab Emirates who were publishing the title on behalf of its National Media Council. This was the first time that the yearbook was published exclusively online, as in previous years it was published in printed form. Our role was to design the overall look and feel of the e-book, as well as the UI (user interface) interactive elements of the e-book.
In addition to including elements of audio and film within the yearbook, it was also designed to take full advantage of the dedicated UAE yearbook website, which features all the past yearbooks for the past ten years. You can visit the site here: uaeyearbook.com and its supporting news website here: uaeinteract.com
The United Arab Emirates Interactive E-Yearbook 2010 can be viewed online here.
The E-Yearbook was subsequently translated into 7 languages. We worked closely alongside the project managers and directors of the project to bring it all together.

I've brushed off the writing implements, said goodbye to the wife and kids because I'm coming out of retirement. Over the past 12 months I've been less and less involved in the page, after all Screechy and Goldibollocks we're finished, the EDL had gone, the page evolved into something else, just as good, but for the first time in 18 months I was able to just keep a watching brief, and bury myself in my new business venture, see the kids, chat to the wife, go out and enjoy the company of friends, you know the thing that we all find a given in this country.
But now a new sinister, cynical, racist right wing have risen, forget Goldibollocks and Screechy they've gone, just a few bigoted idiots left contributing to their pockets, but well organised, well funded dangerous fascists that have been empowered by Brexit, fuelled by the establishment who want joe public to forget their fuckups so have created division.
"Tommeh Ten Names" Yaxley Lennon, James "Yellow pest"Goddard et al all using Facebook to live stream their racist diatribe. I've seen them asking for funds from the sheep which they appear to be doing in droves.
Tommeh has disgusted me recently. Not only the Jamal bullying case which hopefully will cost him, not only his so called "Panodrama" which will turn into a damp squib as Sweeney appears to me to be a hard nosed old school investigative journalist. But his recent antics, fuelling hate by posting half a rape crisis poster and although not directly telling his sheeple to ring them, he certainly intimated them to do so.
But what is worse is the Jihadi bride. Telling his followers that he would shoot her. Now I'm not an expert on law, on the ins and outs of her case but shouldn't we leave this up to the experts and not use Shamima as a political football. Psychiatrists, de radicalisation experts, the intelligence community and others should be the ones to decide her fate and not for her to be used by the government as an election campaign.
Brexit is going to pot, the Government are going reeling from one fuck up to another like a drunk staggering down the road at 3 in the morning looking for salvation in another beer. And the government found that beer she's called Shamima. This one case, has empowered the fascists and divided the left. I've seen the comments from people I respect(ed) and they are no better than those from the fash. I expected better, a reasoned debate not the vile, hateful words that have mirrored those of the racists.
We all have opinions, I have them about brexit and others in the team have different ones. But when we speak to each other about it I can see where they are coming from and they see what I'm thinking. My opinion above on Shamima is just that, give me and us a debate, don't go down the nasty fascist echo chamber I see everyday on Facebook and Twitter or else we've let the government win and the fascists will get stronger. Give me reasons(she's a traitor doesn't fucking do) not Tommeh sponsored bollocks. Tell me why we shouldn't let her back in with conditions(I personally think she should be locked up until she isn't a danger) no one has ever asked for her to be given a state visit or fluffy unicorns flying over rainbows. So lock her up, interrogate her and then we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and oppose this government, the Racist yellow vests and Tommeh like we should be doing. Not causing divisions within the lefty ranks which will mean a full on fascist government backed by the vile bigots we're supposed to be fighting. Putin, Mossad, Trump and others must be pissing their pants with what's going on.
That's it for now, I wish I could go back to banning talk of religion and politics in the pub, it's getting to me.

I'm not really very religious but I thought perhaps I should have a little word in God's shell-like. Too much stuff didn't make any sense. So I sat down in a quiet room with curtains drawn and meditative candles duly lit, all set to talk to my maker.
It wasn't a long conversation but it seemed to straighten a few things out for me. It went like this…

The landlady and the kids are with the in-laws and I'm left here drinking the profits and suffering from a dose of fash fatigue. Being an admin on Exposing Britain First and the constant cases of islamophobic bullshit from the Fuhrer bunker does get us down. The bombs in Belgium are hard to stomach with wall to wall media coverage, security experts telling us what is happening even though it's just conjecture and the arses in Bifferland lapping it up and providing the propaganda they need to play on the fears of already scared people. The right wing newspapers and our wonderful TV news stations helping them with their recruitment.
But where was the right wing and media angst as bombs were set off in Iraq, in Turkey and other places in Africa and the world. Did you even hear of these as I certainly didn't, I didn't see an outpouring of grief on Facebook, didn't see people changing their profiles to a Turkish flag or an Iraqi one or any other to be honest. The right have even gone as far as to put the disgusting murders in Belgium as a reason for Brexit. Just like the Muslims we have had to put out the same old tired statement of us abhorring the bombings and saying that Daesh are a bunch of murderous bastards whom we are against. My brother works and lives in Brussels, and his workplace is near enough opposite to the station that was bombed. The overwhelming mantra coming from his fellow staff, from many different European nations, is that this was not a Muslim attack but a Daesh one.
With that out of the way (but not forgotten) back to the Fuhrer and his high command. Steve Lewis arrested and bailed for wearing a political uniform had us in stitches. Poor old Pieman, losing a banner last year, being moved down the pecking order in the shittrooper numbers, having to do the seemingly dodgy accounts on a 60's typewriter and leader of the South East Brigade and now nicked. Steve is one of the more articulate Biffers but even he has slowly been indoctrinated into Bifferdom and writes more and more religious claptrap. We know he reads the page so Steve, hope you enjoyed the 16 hours in the cells. We hope you will be trusted enough to hold the banners again.
What else? Oh yeah, the mayoral election, begging letters, and some religious memes for the sheeple to eat up.
Goldibollocks is on the march going round trying to find 10 idiots in each borough of London to back him, even tweeting because Enfield Council had the audacity of making him hold on the phone, assumingly to get hold of the voters roll. Three of my friends who live in the London Mayoral area have asked that the Biffers do not get their names and addresses as they do not wish to have racist literature through their doors and also they feel that the Fuhrer bunker will use this for more sinister means. I'll give an update shortly on how they got on.
So it appears that Goldibollocks and Screechy made their target to stand in the elections. They still accuse the Labour candidate of being an extremist Muslim and that London is no longer British. The great thing about this is that London is such a diverse, multi-cultural, thriving capital that will consign them to where my mates will put their propaganda, in the bin.
If you read the Biffer page, I realise that this is hard for you, you will have seen the furore and foam-fest of the sheeple over the apparent removal of the word 'Easter' on Cadbury's Easter oval things. Apparently this was to appease Muslims who quite frankly couldn't give a toss about it. They have more important things to worry about (islamaphobia, being chucked off planes, securing mosques from right wing fucknuggets). The Daily Star had a front page spread about it and the Biffers were not amused. However a quick phonecall to Cadbury's and a totally harassed customer services lady told me that this was the biggest load of crap she had ever seen. They may have taken off the word Easter from the front of the packaging but the word appears 4 times in various places.
Coming so soon after the hot cross buns and Kingsmill saga's it seems that once again Bifferland is foaming over a headline and not the story.
So that's the week in a nutshell, just an ordinary week in the world of EBF, from bombs to Easter eggs, you couldn't make it up… Could you?
Defeating terrorism with… erm… more terrorism

This week began with the awful news that terrorists had attacked innocent people in Belgium. The extremist Islamist group, ISIS has since claimed responsibility for the terrible loss of life.
Like just about everyone else the Biffers at Britain First are outraged and disgusted by this cruel, callous act. No matter how fervently you believe in your cause there can be no justification for murdering innocent bystanders in cold blood. It's not civilised, it's not justifiable, it's certainly not clever… and it's not Islamic.
The Quran explicitly forbids the killing of non-combatants, even in times of war. Perhaps that's why 70,000 Muslim clerics recently issued a joint fatwa against Islamic extremists. They give Islam a bad name and they offend the faithful and, in the eyes of those who believe in Him, they offend Allah as well. There is no blissful afterlife for murderers as any devout Muslim will tell you if you bother to ask them.
The real problem here isn't Islam any more than the Northern Irish troubles were about Christianity. The real problem is terrorism – the unjustifiable belief that it's OK to kill people to get your own way. It's the belief that 'might is right' and that peace can be brought about by violence. That's the real enemy – violence.
So how did the Biffers respond to this latest terrorist outrage?
By missing the point and advocating more violence and extremist terrorism in the sort of tit for tat that Ghandi referred to when he said…
"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind!"
He would have recognised Britain First had they been around in his day. That other famous Ghandi quote could have been written for them…
"I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians but I like your Christ."
With 'Christian' attitudes like this it's not hard to understand what he meant.

A few weeks ago we reported on a running gun battle that had taken place in Chesterfield, home of the Biffer Walts' Divisional Commander, Robin Lomax. It obviously covered a huge amount of ground as the same battle, involving the same people also happened at exactly the same time in Wakefield, Bradford, Basingstoke, Launceston, Wolverhampton and even Memphis, Tennessee! As we remarked at the time…
"ISIS don't 'alf get about, don't they?"
And this morning we hear of yet another amazing feat of terror and counter-terror teleportation through time and space. The same extremists and law enforcement agencies find themselves re-enacting their violent engagement in at least three different venues that are once again, quite literally an ocean apart. This time they've been to Croydon, Wichita and Orlando. And all in the name of 'charity' apparently.
We'd dearly love to know where any money the 'News portal' website might make actually goes. If you have any information on the subject please let us know. There are rules governing collecting for charity, including proper registration with governing bodies both here and in the USA (where the site appears to be based) and a quick word in the appropriate ear might not go amiss.
All that aside though, we're told that nothing more interesting happened in Croydon last Monday than the moment when little Jimmy Armstrong dropped his fishcake and chips in a puddle on the High Street. But his Gran bought him some more so all's well that ends well.

Former Britain First member speaks out
March 19, 2016 March 18, 2016 EBFBlogger Britain First, British values, Demo, Expolitation, Exposing Britain First, Fact-checking, Far right myths, Fascist, ISIS, Islam, Jayda Fransen, Letters, Muslim, National Front, Nazi, Paul Golding, Politics, Propaganda, Racism, Radicalisation, Uncategorized	biffer, Britain first, Conference, Former, Member, Police, Rotherham
The following post was Emailed by a former Biffer. We publish it here without edit or comment beyond this very brief introduction. (EBFBlogger)
The first time I heard of Britain First was in 2014, when I saw the video of them confronting and chasing Anjem Choudary outside his home. I thought it was justified that a pro-violence hate preacher was being treated as badly as he treats others. I signed up to be a member after watching that video and one other of a counter protest. I thought it was a good cause because at the time, I felt little or no action was being carried out against extremeism in Britain.
Shortly after signing up, I got a magazine through the post from Britain First and the most interesting article in it was about the "New World Order" and how the "Establishment" needs to be removed in Britain. I thought I struck gold. A party against extremeism and the Establishment.
A few weeks later came the first of many emails asking for money. At first, I thought it was fine because they are only a small party. I was basically skint, so I never donated anything.
After reading Facebook posts by BF, I was confused. They went from being Anti-Establishment to praising the Queen (who is arguably the biggest figure of the British Establishment) so that was odd. I also heard some members (including Paul) were ex-BNP. At this point, I should have been smart enough to see through the illusion but I wasn't. I thought hardly anything of the BNP link, I thought maybe they turned away from racism. Maybe they wanted a fresh start.
Around the same time ISIS began dominating news headlines, came BF's posts saying how a "Moderate Muslim" doesn't exist and they "all read from the same evil book"
Sad to say, I thought they had a point. I started thinking of all Muslims as evil and terrorist sympathisers. I was never racist but I was Islamophobic. I am extremely disappointed in myself for this because growing up I was never bothered by religion or political beliefs.
I feel like I was radicalised.
I went to my only protest which was in Rotherham. When I got there, it felt more like a market, with cheap tacky merchandise being sold out of a car boot. The illusion started to slowly fade from this moment.
After that, my next event, if I remember correctly, was their conference. I walked into the hall where it was being held and headed into the main room. Paul and Jayda were speaking to each other.
"When's it going to happen then?" Paul asked
"I don't think they've realised just yet" Jayda replied.
I can only assume they were talking about booking the hall and not informing staff who they were or what the event was. A few minutes later, a worker approached Paul and asked who exactly they were, to which Paul handed her a leaflet, with a smug smile on his face. Like a plan had all come together. The worker walked away and Jayda followed her into a small room, and came back a few moments later. Then all hell broke loose. The manager came to the main room and shouted "How dare you speak to my staff like that, get out now!" God knows what she said. Jayda seemed to love being confronted and responded aggressively.
The staff cut the power, so no laptops were working etc. The police were called and the conference was cut short. What a waste of a day that was. On the way home, I was thinking to myself, why am I here. This isn't me.
Later in the week, in maybe one of the biggest coincidences of all time, I just finished reading a post by a fellow member saying how "all Muslims hate dogs" and "dogs are seen as filthy in Islam". I took my dog for a long walk and sat down relaxing for a while, when a Muslim lady wearing a hijab and her husband walked past. She saw my dog and the lady smiled at me and asked if she could stroke him and take a picture of him. I said sure. I thought I was being wound up at the first!
It was in this moment I realised I was completely wrong. Most Muslims are peaceful and friendly people. It was such a brilliant scenario.
Britain First took a break in December and I discovered alot more about them. Such as the Daily Politics interview where it shows Paul disrespecting the war dead on Remember Sunday. My mind was more or less made up then, but I did one last event, which was campaigning. It was rubbish and nothing of importance happened.
I went home and I exposed Britain First to all the other activists and officially quit.
Now, I am sharing my story with you, as someone who has seen how this evil party operates from the inside. As someone who was peaceful growing up, only to be transformed into a Islamophobe because of Britain First.
As for my views now, my core beliefs are being Anti-Establishment and promoting peace between all races, colours, religions etc.
I would like to end this post by saying sorry and to urge any Britain First members reading this to leave the party, turn your lives around and promote peace and give your time to a worthy cause.
Jayda can't hold a candle to this Hijabi
March 9, 2016 March 10, 2016 EBFBlogger Britain First, Demo, English Defence League, Far right myths, ISIS, Islam, Jayda Fransen, Muslim, Propaganda, Tolerance	Demo, EDL, Fransen, Hijabi, Jayda, Nargess Moballeghi, Oxford
We all understand how scary it can be to face down a bunch of thugs who've already decided that you're the enemy, the deserving recipient of their wrath. It's the scenario that Jayda Fransen plays on to pretend she'd genuinely brave. Fransen brazenly marches into multi-cultural areas intent upon stirring up as much trouble as she can, all the time surrounded by loyal thugs and the police who've mysteriously been tipped off by an 'anonymous caller' to her presence.
With that sort of protection she's safe as houses, of course but she pretends to be taking real risks. Not that anyone believes it. But it is a very powerful image. The courageous woman facing down her enemies (in Jayda's case ordinary people who actually just wish she'd go away) has an inbuilt, instinctive impact upon the rest of society. At least it would if it wasn't such an obvious sham.
But what of the women who really are that brave? What should we make of them? What should we make of Nargess Moballeghi who genuinely walked into the lion's den when she attended an EDL rally in Oxford. Now that really does take courage.
This brave Hijabi, accompanied only by her camera operator walked straight into the heart of an anti Muslim rally by the English Defence League and engaged the fash in real conversation. She didn't shout or scream, she didn't insult anyone and she issued no threats. There was no question of her creating a breach of the peace and she needed no bodyguards to hide behind. That's pretty impressive given the sort of people she'd gone to meet.
You can watch a video of her encounter here.
Early on in the video we see a few EDL 'footsoldiers' who seemed genuinely to want to discuss the situation with her. Unfortunately they weren't able to understand most of what she was saying, so indoctrinated were they by the misinformation of their leaders. But they genuinely seemed to try -at least at first. As the wife of a man who these thugs would like to see deported I genuinely was moved to see their attempt at rational conversation.
Unfortunately, though it didn't last long. When discussing the issue of Muslim paedophiles Nargess made the obvious point that just as Christian Brits shouldn't feel the need to go around apologising for Jimmy Savile, neither should Muslim Britons have to apologise for the minority of paedophiles in their ranks. That comparison was a little too close to home for one of the EDL whom she'd managed to engage. Faced with the obviously reasonable and indefensible point the bloke on the right (above) became angry and predictably incoherent. Just as was the case in the infamous EDL 'Muslim ray guns' interview it soon became obvious that "There's a sense of incoherent anger. People are angry but they can't explain why".
As usual the presumably sincere 'footsoldiers' have no real understanding of Islam or the reality of British law, Multi-culturalism or even the true nature of Britain's paedophile problem. They converse in soundbytes and repeat propaganda mantras by rote with little attempt to understand the points raised by this brave Hijabi.
As she climbed back into her car to leave her new acquaintances to their ignorance and their lager it was obvious that Nargess had made little impact upon the brainwashed pawns of this divisive game of racial politics. But she did demonstrate one thing…
She's a damn site more courageous and infinitely more intelligent than Jayda (gob on a stick) Fransen.
Well done Nargess – we stand in awe of your bravery, your dignity and your attempt to understand and engage with those who would see you forbidden from following the faith that is your human right. A right that was hard won by all our ancestors, Muslim and Christian alike just a few decades ago.

We came across this startling piece of news about ISIS killing people in a running gun battle on the streets of Chesterfield, the home of Britain First 'Armed forces division' boss, Robin Lomax. WARNING – depending upon your PC's web browser settings clicking the above lonk may result in lots of pop-up advertising.
Our first thought was to wonder why the brave Biffer army hadn't seen them off. But then we realised that they may have been distracted doing their bit for our collective safety in nearby Wakefield instead. Go for it fellas!
Or maybe they were off being brave in Bradford.
Or Basingstoke
Perhaps they'd made their way to Cornwall to defend Launceston
Or Wolverhampton
Were they across the pond in America?
Eventually we began to smell a rat.
Can you guess why?

Omicron Disruptions Around the World
On Monday in the U.S where 62% of the entire population is vaccinated, 1,080,211 new COVID-19 cases were reported, a figure double of that four days prior and a new global record for a single country. On Tuesday, the U.K., France, and Australia also reached record levels, each reaching 200,000, 270,000 and 65,000 daily cases for the first time. In each country, between 71% and 77% of the entire population are fully vaccinated (having received two doses of the two-dose vaccines). Cyprus, a country of about one million with 50% fully vaccinated, reported the world's highest per capita rate for COVID-19 infections at 2,505 per 100,000 inhabitants. In India, where the vaccination rate is 44.5% fully vaccinated, each infection produces 2.69 more infections.
Among these figures, the U.S. is reporting more children being hospitalised. Last week, 672 children sick with COVID-19 were admitted to hospitals daily. About 325,000 paediatric cases of COVID-19 were reported during the week ending on 30 December. Pfizer vaccine booster shots are now approved for ages 12 and up, with a minimum of five months separation from the last dose. Children ages five and up with impaired immune systems may also receive the booster.
The U.S. has updated its quarantine guidance to alleviate short-staffing in response to the surge in infections. Although the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that people may remain infectious for up to 14 days after testing positive, people should wear masks after testing positive and self-isolate for only five days if asymptomatic, instead of the previously recommended ten days. Dr Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, admits this approach is based on getting 'people back to their jobs' to keep society running smoothly.
China, which has taken a 'zero COVID' approach, has confined residents of Yuzhou, a city of 1.2 million people, to their homes on Tuesday in response to three asymptomatic individuals testing positive. Yuzhou joins the city of Xian in total lockdown, where residents confined to their homes worry about stretching food supplies.
Despite Omicron being seemingly mild compared to previous SARS-CoV-2 strains, the soaring infection rates are cause for concern. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and local governments, short-staffed. In France, where hospitals are 'close to paralysis', 80% of the patients entering intensive care units are unvaccinated, prompting political discussions on mandatory vaccinations. In the U.K., among healthcare staffing gaps, Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised medical volunteers to support worst-hit areas. In contrast, with the population 71% fully vaccinated and 40% boosted, Germany is seeing 36% fewer hospitalisations than last year in January 2021, despite having an 88% higher case count.

The Judicial Review of the Minister of Justice's refusal to grant Michael McKevitt enhanced remission was scheduled to commence this morning in Court 4 of the High Court.
However, upon arrival at court McKevitt's legal team was informed that his case was being removed from the immediate hearing list and being placed instead on the Administration List – with a new date yet to be scheduled.
Michael McKevitt's legal team protested that today's date had been scheduled by a High Court judge before the summer break; that the case concerned the potential unlawful detention of a prisoner and a citizen's deprivation of liberty, and that the case should be given priority and should commence as previously scheduled.
The court registrar who was unmoved by these arguments, stated that she would remove the case from the hearing list as there were no High Court Judges available to hear the case, as seven High Court judges were transferred to the Court of Appeal and as a result the High Court is short-staffed.
Michael's legal team made a complaint to the President of the High Court and sought an immediate commencement of the case. Judge Kearns stated that his hands were tied, as his panel of judges is seriously reduced due to the transfer of judges to the court of appeal and he proposed that Michael's legal team come to court on a 'day-by-day basis' in the hope that a High Court judge may become available due to a case finishing prematurely.
Michael's case is now in a state of limbo. He believes that he is being unlawfully detained. He has been granted leave for judicial review of the Minister's refusal to grant him enhanced remission. However, he now finds himself removed from the hearing list and having to instruct his legal team to trek down to the High Court on a 'day-by-day' basis in the hope that a High Court judge might be available to hear his case.
This is not only unjust and unsatisfactory on legal grounds. But it also presents Michael with considerable logistical problems in insuring his best legal team is present to represent him, as they cannot indefinitely postpone their other legal engagements in the vain hope that a High Court judge may appear on the horizon.

GREATER BATON ROUGE BUSINESS REPORT
Regional Airport in Gonzales Set to Triple in Size, While Development on Livingston Regional Remains on Hold
Louisiana Regional Airport in Gonzales is set to nearly triple in size after a 28-acre land purchase this summer. The airport currently is home to about 100 aircraft on its 15 developed acres.
"We've built out every inch of that space," airport manager Janet Gonzales tells Business Report in a feature from the current issue that takes a look at the state of regional airports in Louisiana.
The new land could fit another 200 planes, although Gonzales doesn't expect to host that many. She does expect to see more corporate jets, which take up more space than smaller planes and will be well served by a runway that recently was lengthened. She says 29 people are on a waiting list for private hangars.
"We have the demand to build more," she says. "Now we have the land, so we're going to start that process."
Louisiana Regional is one of two general aviation, public-use, noncommercial airports in the Baton Rouge area listed by the state Department of Transportation and Development; False River Regional Airport in New Roads is the other. There are also two such airports just outside the Capital Region in Hammond and St. John the Baptist Parish. The state has 62 general aviation airports in total, which are thought to contribute almost $1 billion to the state's economy.
In Livingston Parish, plans are being discussed for a general aviation airport south of I-12 at Satsuma on land owned by developer Garry Lewis. Development is on hold, however, until disputes over the town's boundaries are resolved.
The 68 public-use airports covered by a recent DOTD study generated more than $6.7 billion in annual economic output in 2011. Most of that value is attributed to the seven commercial airports, although the general aviation airports chipped in almost $967 million. False River's economic impact was $10.3 million, the study shows, while Louisiana Regional's was $14.5 million.

Investigation of Degradation of Electrical Properties after Thermal Oxidation of p-Type Cz-Silicon Wafers
M. Maoudj ,	D. Bouhafs ,	N. Bourouba ,	N. Khelifati ,	A. El Amrani ,	R. Boufnik ,	A. Hamida Ferhat
In this study we conducted thermal oxidation of Czochralski p-type <100> silicon wafers. The oxidation was carried out at temperatures in the range of 850-1000°C, in a gas mixture of N₂:O₂, in order to deposit a thin layer (10 nm) of thermal silicon dioxide (SiO₂), generally used in the surface passivation of solar cells. The measurements of effective minority carriers lifetime τ_{eff} using the quasi-steady-state photoconductance have shown degradation of different samples after oxidation process. The calculation of surface recombination velocity after the oxidation process at different temperatures, gave the same value of 40 cm s¯¹, showing a low surface recombination velocity and, therefore, a good surface passivation. Finally, a study based on sample illumination technique, allowed us to conclude that our samples are dominated by bulk Shockley-Read-Hall recombination, caused by Fe-related centers, thereby causing the degradation of the lifetime of minority carriers.
