CBD Career Edge is Here!
CBD students now have one more tool to add to their kit of stethoscopes, needles, and thermometers!
Career Services is taking a new approach to preparing students for their future careers by implementing CBD Career Edge, into the curriculum.
Okay, but what is Career Edge?
Furthermore, each section contains access to the Career Edge workbook, as well as training videos and exercises.
When you log in to cbdcollegeedge.com , there is a "resume builder" section. In this section, students will be able to create and save multiple versions of their resume. This section guides students through each step of the resume process and even offers suggestions for their "qualifications/skills" section as well as suggestions for various job descriptions. Students will be able to select one of the four resume templates where their information will be transferred to. The template they select can be downloaded as a Word document where the students/graduates will have the ability to make changes/updates.
How can my resume be accessible online for employers/ clinical sites?
The ePortfolio ultimately gives the students/graduates the opportunity to be marketed to prospective employers/clinical sites. CBD Career Edge allows the students/graduates to include their CBD Career Edge ePortfolio URL into their resumes so that when employers click on the link, it will direct them to the ePortfolio's of each student/graduate, similarly to how people commonly include their LinkedIn URL's in their resumes. We will also be directing our network of employers to ePortfolio's of our students/graduates.
Where can I find and apply for jobs within my program?
Last but not least, CBD Career Edge contains a job board. The job board will include job leads for recent graduates as well as more experienced graduates (CBD graduates will always have access to CBD Career Edge). Additionally, the job board will include "survival jobs" (generally part-time employment opportunities outside of the healthcare industry to support students while going through their programs). Each program will have their very own job board.
If you're a student and do not have a Career Edge account, e-mail Lakisha (lakisha@cbd.edu) or Emmy (emmy@cbd.edu), and stop by their offices in Career Services.
To learn more about CBD College or to schedule an appointment, call 213-472-2200 or fill out the form at right!

Rep. Rutherford receives award for work to protect Right Whale
Fernandina Beach, FL -- Environment Florida and other environmental groups from up and down the East Coast, including Defenders of Wildlife and Whale & Dolphin Conservation, presented Rep. John Rutherford with an award Saturday at the Right Whale Festival in Fernandina Beach, Fla. The award highlighted Rutherford's work to protect the highly-endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
There are only about 400 North Atlantic right whales left. While scientists estimate that the population can only withstand about one right whale death per year, 10 North Atlantic right whales have died in the last year alone. Most of the deaths are caused by humans, the primary causes being collisions with boats and entanglements in fishing gear. The SAVE Right Whales Act, introduced by Rep. Rutherford and Rep. Seth Moulton, would devote $5 million per year over the next ten years to the development of ropeless fishing technology.
"Preventing the loss of the right whale species from our seas requires strong, immediate action," said Steve Blackledge, senior director of Environment America's Conservation program. "Hats off to Reps. Rutherford and Moulton for introducing the SAVE Right Whales Act -- an important step toward the type of problem-solving and innovation we need to keep the species alive."
Right whales' habitat extends through the waters off all 13 east coast states. They spend their winters off the coast of Florida, and migrate up the East Coast to the Gulf of Maine in the warmer months. Protecting these marine mammals is integral to maintaining the health of our marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

In a plastic bag combine crumbs, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. In a medium mixing bowl toss chicken pieces with melted margarine or butter. Place in bag with crumb mixture. Seal bag and shake till chicken is well coated. Place chicken pieces in a single layer on a lightly creased baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or till tender and no longer pink, turning pieces once. Meanwhile, for cillantro cream, in a small mixing bowl stir together sour cream and cilantro. Serve with chicken. (sometimes I mix up Fiesta Ranch Dip instead of cilantro and it is a great compliment to the spices on the Chicken!) Makes 4 servings.

Q: Nautilus file manager not working on Ubuntu 20.04 Please Help I use Ubuntu 20.04, the problem is the Files app in the system does not open.
I tried different method such as reinstalling nautilus, its data. But non of it seems to work as in I still cannot open the app. I tried changing the permissions of the home directory as well but that didn't work out either. This all started when I installed OBS. But I uninstalled that as well.
links to the post I referred : "Files" File manager is not working on Ubuntu 20.04
I tried everything from this post but non of that worked for me so please can anyone help me
i tried this line to reinstall nautilus
sudo apt-get remove nautilus
sudo apt-get install nautilus

then I tried to reinstall its data
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus-data

and the above lines gave a successful message yet only
sudo nautilus

worked but only showed me the root and efi.
As you can clearly see that only efi and root are visible  Photo
So I went forward and did the change permission thing of the home directory so i did that to the home folder in the root drive.
And one more thing to note is whenever i try to launch the nautilus my swap memory suddenly rises and the system slows for about a minute. Despite the fact that i have 12Gb of physical memory but during that time only 1 Gb is used and around 26% to 45% of swap is used.

У 1906 році вступив на військову службу чиновником військового управління. Учасник Першої світової війни, був службовцем продовольчого постачання армії. У січні 1920 року був демобілізований. З липня 1920 року працював чиновником в державному управлінні Пфальца, в тому ж році він приєднався до націоналістичної організації Німецький народний союз оборони і наступу.

У лютому 1922 року вступив у НСДАП, у вересні заснував і очолив ортсгрупу в Пфальці. 9 травня 1923 року французьким військовим судом був засуджений до 4 місяців в'язниці за активну націоналістичну і антифранцузьку агітацію. Потім з сім'єю перебрався в демілітаризовану Рейнську область. У лютому 1925 року вдруге вступив в НСДАП (партійний квиток № 24 291), став керівником ортсгрупи в Касселі і скарбником гау. З 13 вересня 1928 року — гауляйтер Гессен-Нассау-Норд.

З 11 липня 1933 року — прусський державний радник. 12 листопада 1933 року був обраний депутатом рейхстагу від Гессен-Нассау. У 1934 році гау Гессен-Нассау-Норд було перетворено в Кургессен і Вайнріх залишився на своєму посту. З 1942 року був заступником Наукового товариства імені братів Грімм. 16 листопада 1942 року призначений імперським комісаром оборони Кургессена. Після руйнівного бомбардування Касселя в ніч з 22 на 23 жовтня 1943 року він був знятий з поста гауляйтера.

У 1945 році заарештований і 4 роки перебував в ув'язненні. 6 липня 1949 року комісією з денацифікації в Касселі був визнаний «головним винуватцем» і засуджений до 10 років трудових таборів. Вайнріх подавав апеляції і термін знизили до 7 років трудових таборів. У листопаді 1950 був відпущений, оскільки термін інтернування було зараховано в строк позбавлення волі.

…it sounds like a contradiction in terms, but I have made it come to pass.
It's not exactly like that at our house, even though I'm married to Sister Catherine's brother. The only holiday we are responsible for is July 4th, because our house is so small that we can't entertain when it's cold and people can't overflow into the yard. (Digression: commercial for WFIE weather: "Sometimes cold weather isn't pleasant." Sometimes?) Here, at any rate, is how I clean up for guests. I'm counting on everyone forgetting I said all this by July 4th.
BATHROOM: Remember that Rom said he'd take care of it. Breathe sigh of relief.
HALL: Surely a hall doesn't need cleaning? Note dust on baseboards. Resent its presence. Reflect on the need to do something about the hall closet so I can actually locate something when I need it. Then realize I don't even remember exactly what's in there anymore.
BEDROOM: Remove obvious dead leaves from large houseplant. Cat Esmerelda strolls in, hoping I'm doing something interesting, realizes yet again that it's something boring, leaves. Cat Glamour resents that I'm removing the things she most likes to noisily eat on Sunday mornings when I'm trying to sleep because I have to get up early for church. Dust all the stuff on my chest of drawers. Wish I had less stuff. Note that Ez's toy mouse is on the floor again, toss it up on top of my clothes chest (yes, I have two chests full of clothes, plus one closet) where it belongs. Realize there are spiders under the table with the houseplant on it, resolve to finish the rest of the job at some hour when spiders are less likely to be active.
MY ROOM (office? study? den? lair? guest bedroom, although it has no bed and rarely contains guests?): Become dismayed by all the books I own that I haven't read in years or at all. Discover that there are silverfish behind some of them. Decide that taking them all out and dusting behind them would take too long, and no one's likely to look closely at them anyway. Dust bric-a-brac, wonder about the derivation of the term bric-a-brac. Light scented candle, get paranoid about leaving it unattended, as all candle labels warn you not to do. Note profusion of perfume samples, resolve to find my signature scent, as I have been trying to do since 1969.
KITCHEN: Attack kitchen table, to make room for large quantities of food. Discover that the stack of magazines next to my place at the table contains the Walgreen's ad from six weeks ago. Peruse it and attempt to determine the frequency with which items I need go on sale, taking a long-term view. Note that Secret Romantic Rose deodorant is featured in the illustration, feel reassured that it hasn't been discontinued. Discover there is cat hair on the table legs, become irate because vertical surfaces shouldn't need dusting, because of gravity.
After vowing that he would never do it, "for the sake of my sanity," Nick looked in my window–"to my everlasting horror," he said. What horrifying thing was I doing? Reading the Bible. I knew he was coming by, to pick up some table scraps we'd decided to toss him, but since he hadn't texted me yet, I wasn't expecting him right then. So there came a furtive tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping on my chamber door, and I am pleased to report I didn't jump. Because I'm not the nervous, twitchy type.
This blog still gets intermittently investigated by people who Google Halle Berry, just because I did one post long ago that mentioned her. So…HALLE BERRY HALLE BERRY HALLE BERRY. That'll triple my readership!
Just a reminder that my proposition to ignore you for cash still stands–and isn't being ignored by me worth a little money? This offer is open to everyone but Nick, who would rather take a beating than be ignored, so we'll just go with that.
Yes, you heard me right. Sounds like a 60's psychedelic garage band, doesn't it? Rom read an article about advanced vending machine technology that has provided custom-built burritos in, I think, Mexico (that would make sense, wouldn't it?), some other kind of elaborate food in some other exotic place I can't remember, and live crabs in China (Live Crabs in China–the first album by the Live-Crab Vending Machine. Followed by their live album, Live-Crab Vending Machine Live in China). I find the logistics here fascinating. Are the crabs just hanging out in one big chamber inside the machine, or does each have his/her own separate slot? Can you specify different kinds of crab? And, most important of all, DO THE CHINESE EAT THEM LIVE?
–Sign on a bus: THIS VEHICLE MAKES FREQUENT STOPS. Addressed, I suppose, to those who just fell off a melon truck and don't know how buses operate.
–Headline: VECTREN SAYS HARSH WINTER MAY LEAD TO HIGHER HEATING BILLS. Ya think?
The Channel 14 weather blog points out that we're only a third of the way through said winter. I was better off not knowing that.
–Happy New Year signs may remain up for the entire month of January, but no longer. As of February, the year is no longer new. I will grudgingly allow Valentine decorations to go up in mid-January, although it makes you look desperate for a holiday.

Episode 4: Inside Rixo's organic growth strategy
In the fourth Vogue Business and Department for International Trade's master class, Rixo's co-founder Henrietta Rix discusses the perks and perils of wholesale and how to grow organically in a pay-to-play world.
By Vogue Business Team
Artwork by Vogue Business
In the fourth Vogue Business and Department for International Trade's master class series on how to succeed abroad, Rixo's co-founder Henrietta Rix joins Vogue Business retail and marketing editor Kati Chitrakorn to discuss using wholesale partners as a springboard and how to maintain a holistic marketing approach that balances awareness with conversion.
Contemporary womenswear brand Rixo has come a long way since 2015, when it was founded by Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey on a shoestring budget, without startup capital or investors, offering mostly floral dresses and blouses around £300. Today, the London-based label, which sells a mix of clothing, bags, eyewear and other accessories, is profitable, sells globally to over 140 stockists and also has physical standalone stores in London as well as e-commerce.
The community built around Rixo has been entirely organic, and the brand didn't spend on any digital marketing in the last four years, says Rix. That changed last October when Rixo began doing paid media in the UK. Europe will follow next year. Facebook, Instagram and Google Smart Shopping is where the brand sees the best conversion. "People see the product on their feeds, they interact with it and it's where we see the best returns," she explains.
Until last year, 70 per cent of Rixo's business came from wholesale. That changed during Covid-19, when Rixo began focusing on its online and direct-to-consumer channels, says Rix. One of the biggest benefits of DTC is being able to take charge of deliveries and not work towards a wholesale calendar, she says. "Gone are the days when people want to start shopping coats in the summer. It's a natural progression for the customer to want to see-now, buy-now, and that's what we've always wanted to do: to not deliver products at the wrong time of year."
Today, 60 per cent of Rixo's business comes from direct-to-consumer sales and 40 per cent from wholesale. The brand is working towards targets of 70 per cent DTC and 30 per cent wholesale. "We're growing each channel; wholesale is not necessarily decreasing in volume, but we want to continue developing our strategy for DTC, especially internationally," Rix clarifies. The key to success is getting things right in all areas before expanding further, by working with experts who understand "boring but important" areas including shipping, warehousing and the logistics of setting up subsidiaries, she says.
Global expansion is "a slow burner," says Rix. "You need to think about your long-term plan."
To conclude the five-episode Vogue Business and the Department for international trade master class series, we will publish a free, comprehensive report. You can register to receive the full report here.

Are you a software or hardware company that supports the use of field operations data in your system? The ADAPT Oversight Committee asks your company to make a formal commitment to adopt ADAPT! The ADAPT project enjoys a wide range of industry support, and we don't want to miss any company that is willing to formally align with the effort. It is a big deal to join this effort to reduce system interoperability challenges that have plagued the precision agriculture industry since the beginning in the 1990s. The ADAPT Oversight Committee will reach out to those companies that commit to leverage the ADAPT framework in their systems to coordinate next steps (e.g., what the company's goals are for ADAPT, sharing their commitment to the larger industry).

Richard Hunt in his Access Defense blog, which you can find in my blogroll, has blogged on a couple of cases recently, and I thought that I could add my own perspective to them. I will also throw in a third case as well in the process.
The topic for this week is website accessibility both in terms of standing and in terms of whether Internet only businesses are subject to title III of the ADA at all. The cases we will be discussing are: Carrolll v. Northwest Federal Credit Union from the Eastern District of Virginia; Del-Orden v. Bonobos Inc. from the Southern District of New York; and Nanni v. Aberdeen Marketplace Inc, from the Fourth Circuit. As usual, the blog is divided into categories and they are: Carroll; Not so Fast Says Nanni v. Aberdeen Marketplace Inc.; Not so Fast Says Del-Orden v. Bonobos Inc.; and takeaways. The reader is free to read any or all of the categories, but probably will want to read the whole thing since all the categories are interrelated.
Carroll is a serial plaintiff who went after the Northwest Federal Credit Union when he found out that the website was not accessible to the blind and visually impaired. Northwest Federal Credit Union is a credit union chartered by the federal government whose membership is current or former employees of the Central Intelligence Agency or their immediate family or household members. Plaintiff is not included in that membership field nor did he allege any facts in his complaint suggesting he is a CIA agent or otherwise eligible to become a member of the credit union.
The court reasoned that any planned visit to the website in the future was immaterial unless the plaintiff could show that he was eligible to use the services offered on that website. Since the defendant could not demonstrate he was entitled to participate in any of the services, he could not show any redressable injury. Accordingly, he did not have standing to pursue the case.
The court also reasoned that a website cannot be a place of public accommodation because in the list of public accommodations, websites are not included. Further, the court said that not only are websites not found on the list, but the statute only lists brick-and-mortar places. Finally, Congress has amended the ADA, and at no point, did they choose to add websites as a public accommodation.
Not so Fast Says Nanni v. Aberdeen Marketplace Inc.
Carroll's standing discussion arguably is saying that a tester cannot have standing. If that is the argument, the Fourth Circuit, which is the same Circuit that Carroll would be appealed to, may well have a different take on it. In Nanni, the Fourth Circuit held that a person's status as an ADA tester- and for that matter, his litigation history as well-, does not strip a person of standing to sue. According to the Fourth Circuit, a citizen's right to sue and defend in the courts is one of the highest and most essential privileges of citizenship and is granted and protected by the federal Constitution. So, a person's motivation for pursuing ADA claims does not deprive him or her standing to sue.
Not so Fast Says Del-Orden v. Bonobos Inc.
Carroll is simply wrong when it says that ALL of the places listed in 42 U.S.C. §12181(7) our strictly physical spaces. 42 U.S.C. §12181(7)(F) specifically lists travel services among the services defined as public accommodations and travel services have never required the existence of a physical structure for the services to be utilized.
Congress intended that the ADA be read broadly in light of its remedial aims and that it be construed to keep pace with changing technology. Accordingly, the term "other sales or rental establishment," can be fairly read in today's world dominated by e-commerce to include a commercial website and therefore, has a textual basis in the statute.
Congress's purpose in enacting the ADA was broad. That is, to remedy widespread discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
Congress found physical or mental disabilities in no way diminish a person's right to fully participate in all aspects of society, yet many people with physical or mental disabilities are precluded from doing so because of discrimination.
Congress found that historically, society intended to isolate and segregate persons with disabilities, and, despite some improvement, the discrimination against individuals with disabilities continues to be a serious and pervasive social problem.
After thoroughly investigating the problem, Congress concluded that there was a compelling need for a clear and comprehensive national mandate to eliminate discrimination against individuals with disabilities and to integrate them into the economic and social mainstream of American life.
Congress's purposes in adopting the ADA would be frustrated if the term public accommodation was given a narrow application where access to the vast world of Internet commerce falls outside the statute's protection. Today, few areas are more integral to the economic and social mainstream of American life than Internet websites.
Computers and Internet access have become virtually indispensable in the modern world of communications and information gathering.
A House Committee Report specifically stated that the types of accommodation and services provided to individuals with disabilities under all titles of the bill should keep pace with the rapidly changing technology of the times.
Limiting title III's scope to brick-and-mortar venues would be inconsistent with Congress's intention that the ADA keep pace with rapidly changing technology of the times. Such a holding renders title III effectively impotent to broad swaths of social and economic life. That would be a result contrary to the broad remedial purpose of the ADA, which has been described as a milestone on the path to a more decent, tolerant, progressive society.
Congress need not perpetually refresh and update legislation where a broad but textually fair construction achieves the statute's explicit aims, which is the providing of a comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Accordingly, the ADA must be read, like other broadly worded statutes, in a way reflecting an intentional effort to give the flexibility necessary to forestall obsolescence.
Del-Orden also has a couple of other points well worth mentioning. First, it also adopted the gateway theory. In particular, it noted that the ADA prohibits an owner or operator of such a place from discriminating in the provision of the goods or services of that place of public accommodation. It is "of' and not "at" or "in" that is the critical distinction. The two terms simply do not mean the same thing and to suggest otherwise does not make much sense. There is no indication that Congress intended such unorthodoxy. Further, it makes little sense to limit title III's goal to discrimination in the provision of goods or services literally consumed in a place of public accommodation.
Del-Orden also says that when it comes to mootness, the case still continues if what has not been fixed with respect to the website still denies a person with a disability meaningful access to that website.
It is clear in the Fourth Circuit that testers have standing. What is not clear is whether the tester must also be capable of using the premises or the website. On that, there may be some room for argument with respect to the Northwest Federal Credit Union. Of course, different story if the plaintiff is someone eligible for the Northwest Federal Credit Union.
It is absolutely true that Congress did not factor the Internet into the ADA when it was amended. It is possible that was unintentional or it is possible the votes were not there. The lack of the Internet being added to the ADA when the ADA was amended is the best argument against places of public accommodation being Internet only sites. On the other hand, you do have the congressional report that says the ADA is meant to evolve with technology. You also have the fact that the Internet has come to dominate society and that the ADA is very much about integration of people with disabilities into mainstream society. In today's world that would be a very difficult thing to do if the Internet is left outside of the equation. Further, there are many good policy reasons, discussed above, why the ADA should be construed broadly so as to allow Internet only sites or sites that are gateways to brick-and-mortar stores to be considered a place of public accommodation.
If you are a trade association or a credit union and your website is not accessible, Carroll may give you some flexibility as to cutting down on the number of people that might have standing to sue you. Keep in mind, all you are doing is cutting down on the number of people likely to sue because this case would not prevent a person who could be a member and who cannot access the website from suing under title III of the ADA. Also, this is just one court, the Eastern District of Virginia, and may not be persuasive in other courts. Finally, there is the argument that testers do have standing to sue under the ADA just as they do under the Fair Housing Act.
Predicting the Supreme Court is impossible (a case like this will definitely make it to the Supreme Court someday), but if I were a plaintiff, I would take my chances with respect to tester standing and the Internet being a place of public accommodation. As discussed and mentioned numerous times before, persons with disabilities have fared very well at the Supreme Court outside of the employment context (speaking of which, the plaintiffs in Sevorson have requested cert.). It isn't clear to me whether in the unusual fact pattern of Northwest Federal Credit Union whether the tester counter argument will prevail. Even so, all it would take would be for a person with a disability who is eligible for that particular website's services to sue in order to get around that problem. Considering that this federal credit union focuses on the CIA and that a person in the CIA could get injured, it seems only a matter of time before someone who could be a member of this website will sue because he or she could not meaningfully access the website. So, failing to fix the website probably only delays the inevitable.
In light of ¶ 6 and the Fourth Circuit becoming more progressive toward persons with disabilities, an appeal might be in order. Also, as we discussed here, the Department of Justice has recently written that it is very receptive to Internet only sites being considered places of public accommodations.
It is always better to design websites with accessibility in mind before they go live, rather than do it later. Consider having your website tested by persons with disabilities. Also, make sure the website is meaningfully accessible to persons with multiple disabilities.

AMAG bags FDA okay for second 'female Viagra' drug
AMAG Pharma has won US approval for a new drug to treat decreased libido in premenopausal that will compete with a Sprout Pharma's Addyi.
The new therapy – Vyleesi (bremelanotide) – is a first-in-class melanocortin 4 receptor agonist originally developed by Palatin Technologies and is the second drug to be approved by the FDA after Addyi (flibanserin) for hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) that causes distress.
Addyi proved to be a controversial product when it was approved in 2015, with critics accusing the US regulator of giving into lobbying and giving the green light to a drug that had shown modest activity in trials and had serious safety issues if taken with alcohol.
That didn't stop blockbuster sales projections for Addyi, which encouraged Valeant (now Bausch Health) to license the drug in a $1 billion deal. As it turned out, the product has been a commercial flop with sales estimated at around $10 million a year, hamstrung by a black box warning over the alcohol issue and a hefty price of $800 per month, and Valeant handed back rights to Sprout in 2017.
AMAG, which has licensed North American rights to Vyleesi from Palatin in a $465 million deal in 2017, is hoping Vyleesi will achieve the success that has eluded Addyi, particularly as it doesn't have the alcohol safety issue. It does however have some restrictions on use in women with cardiovascular disease as it seems to cause transient increases in blood pressure in some people.
The company says HSDD is an under-estimated disorder that affects around one in 10 pre-menopausal women, equivalent to millions of women in the US, and has shown consistency across endpoints in clinical trials that eluded Addyi.
Analysts at Ladenburg Thalman said recently that there are 4-6 million women in the US with HSDD, who mostly "suffer…in silence", and say that despite the controversy over HSDD they believe the condition is both "real and debilitating."
Vyleesi's subcutaneous injection route of administration could be a drag on sales given that Addyi is dosed orally, but they expect that will not be a barrier for women motivated to seek treatment – although acknowledge that could be a small population unless AMAG's awareness-raising drive delivers.
They expect "some wind at the back of Vyleesi as media and talk shows are likely to spread some attention on HSDD and Vyleesi," while AMAG "has shown early signs of success in its online HSDD awareness campaign, which we believe will be essential to Vyleesi's adoption."
The market for male erectile dysfunction products was tiny until the approval of Viagra, largely because earlier treatment relied on direct injection of prostaglandins into the vasculature of the penis or surgical implants.
AMAG and Palatin think HSDD just needs the right product to be available, and that Vyleesi fulfils that role. While Addyi is more helpful with relieving the distress than restoring desire, Vyleesi appears to benefit both elements of the disorder, and only has to be taken 'on-demand' rather than continually.
Ladenburg Thalman expect Vyleesi to reach $300 million in sales by 2021 and $732 million by 2030, based on an estimated price of around $400 per month, or $100 per shot.
Palatin meanwhile is due to pick up $60 million from AMAG on US approval, with royalties of $30 million and $95 million at those time points if their sales predictions are correct.

A reinterpretation of biblical and Egyptian history that shows Moses and the Pharaoh Akhenaten to be one and the same. • Provides dramatic evidence from both archaeological and documentary sources. • A radical challenge to long-established beliefs on the origin of Semitic religion. During his reign, the Pharaoh Akhenaten was able to abolish the complex pantheon of the ancient Egyptian religion and replace it with a single god, the Aten, who had no image or form. Seizing on the striking similarities between the religious vision of this "heretic" pharaoh and the teachings of Moses, Sigmund Freud was the first to argue that Moses was in fact an Egyptian. Now Ahmed Osman, using recent archaeological discoveries and historical documents, contends that Akhenaten and Moses were one and the same man. In a stunning retelling of the Exodus story, Osman details the events of Moses/Akhenaten's life: how he was brought up by Israelite relatives, ruled Egypt for seventeen years, angered many of his subjects by replacing the traditional Egyptian pantheon with worship of the Aten, and was forced to abdicate the throne. Retreating to the Sinai with his Egyptian and Israelite supporters, he died out of the sight of his followers, presumably at the hands of Seti I, after an unsuccessful attempt to regain his throne. Osman reveals the Egyptian components in the monotheism preached by Moses as well as his use of Egyptian royal ritual and Egyptian religious expression. He shows that even the Ten Commandments betray the direct influence of Spell 125 in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Moses and Akhenaten provides a radical challenge to long-standing beliefs concerning the origin of Semitic religion and the puzzle of Akhenaten's deviation from ancient Egyptian tradition. In fact, if Osman's contentions are correct, many major Old Testament figures would be of Egyptian origin. Born in Cairo in 1934, Ahmed Osman has been trying to discover the historical origin of the stories of the Bible for the last 30 years. He is the author of several books, including Christianity: An Ancient Egyptian Religion, Moses and Akhenaten, and The Lost City of the Exodus. He lives in England.

The Daily Texan • October 13, 2014 • https://thedailytexan.com/2014/10/13/next-month-vote-for-leticia-van-de-putte-for-lieutenant-governor/
Next month, vote for Leticia Van de Putte for lieutenant governor
The Daily Texan Editorial Board
Editor's Note: Early voting for the Nov. 4 election begins Oct. 20 and ends Oct. 31.
The lieutenant governor of Texas has often been hailed as the most powerful official in the Texas Legislature. With nearly despotic powers over the Texas Senate, the lieutenant governor controls the agendas, the composition of committees and the general demeanor of the chamber. These duties, however, are not guaranteed by the state constitution; instead, they only occur with the consent of the state senators themselves. If so organized, a majority of 16 could vote at the beginning of a session to strip the lieutenant governor of all power beyond breaking ties if so inclined. Thus, with the incumbent lieutenant governor David Dewhurst being replaced after a dozen years in office, it is important to find a replacement willing to get along with other senators and continue the delicate agreement.
State Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, the Republican candidate for the post, is not that person. A demagogue willing to take on extreme positions, he prioritizes divisive social issues over real solutions to solve the complex problems that Texas currently faces. Instead of coming up with a plan to make our roads and highways the envy of the world once more, Patrick merely quips in broad platitudes about "securing the border," using dangerous scare tactics, such as equating undocumented immigrants with disease-carrying invaders. On Oct. 8, he claimed that ISIS was crossing the border with Mexico en masse. Such an assertion, of course, is patently absurd. Last session, when the Legislature was debating how best to restore austerity cuts to education earlier inflicted, Patrick talked out of both sides of his mouth too often to keep track. Despite campaigning for the restoration in front of cameras, he ultimately voted against the budget in order to save his reputation among arch-conservatives. An advocate of school choice, Patrick believes that funding public schools is futile because of their underperformance. Still, he continues to claim that he was a leading advocate for the restoration, a charge that earned him a "pants on fire" rating from Politifact.
State Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio and the Democratic candidate, is the polar opposite. Though she can also be fiery and partisan in front of television cameras, she has a proven track record of working behind-the-scenes with legislators of both parties to implement common-sense goals. Be it education, transportation or budget affairs, Van de Putte is not merely content submitting a sound bite; rather, she wants to actually do what is right.
Further, while the phrase "reaching across the aisle" is ubiquitous in clichés of politics, no such aisle exists in the Texas Senate. The senators simply all sit together. The seating is representative of a larger principle of nonpartisanship in the body, best enforced by a rule compelling legislation to stay off the floor unless two-thirds of lawmakers assent to its consideration. The rule, which dates back to the days when Democrats controlled all 31 senate seats, is designed to foster consensus, not facilitate gridlock. Patrick wants to do away with the rule, or lower the threshold to 60 percent, which is conspicuously just below the portion of the chamber that Republicans control; Van de Putte wants to retain the threshold. Without the rule, the Texas Senate will descend into partisan bickering, a cacophony indistinguishable from the mess in Washington.
At its core, that is what this race is about. Van de Putte represents the Texas values of old. Patrick, on the other hand, is just more of the same grandstanding ever-present in the Capitol and sadly rearing its ugly head more and more often in Texas. Let's keep the state strong and restore it to its earlier successes. Vote for Van de Putte.

Cocoa-growers in Ituri are positioned on the fine flavour cocoa market
Combining high-quality cocoa production with biodiversity conservation in DR Congo
Rikolto is going to work alongside at least 700 cocoa producers, gathered in the Okapi cocoa cooperative, to meet the challenges along the road to better quality.
Ndegho Mukomerwa
Coordinator of our coffee and cocoa programme in Ituri
This project is part of the following focus area:
Mambasa is one of the largest regions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There is heavy rainfall and the roads, which are not well maintained and a real headache for moving produce out of the fields. This region is covered by equatorial forest which the farmers blithely cut down to sow new fields, of cocoa in particular. But the Mambasa region is not very well known for its cocoa. It is more known for its armed groups, which kill an animal that is indigenous and protected in the region: the okapi, the flagship species of the okapi wildlife reserve.
Our model of supporting real cooperatives in the coffee sector, which scrupulously observe all the cooperative principles, is beginning to be copied by other organisations in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which only confirms the relevance of our approach. And more than that, other sectors are interested in it, and this is how a cocoa organisation in the Mambasa region in Ituri invited us to develop a cocoa fermentation and drying centre approach with them, inspired by coffee micro-washing stations reconfigured for cocoa.
Within this framework, in 2017, Rikolto led a study in the Mambasa region. This study showed that the cocoa production potential in this region of Ituri province is enormous. Cocoa growing in the main source of income for farming families in the region. However, the cocoa sector in the Mambasa region does not earn much for cocoa farmers. One could say that the sector is not organised. Stakeholders in the region only focus on increasing cocoa production volumes, making almost no effort to improve quality.
However, in the arabica coffee sector, for example, our experience has shown that peasants get a better income if attention is focused above all on quality, with quantity coming second. The sector is facing many challenges, and cocoa is sold at derisory prices due to a lack of quality and structure. "The farmer is the link that drives the sector. This is the link that makes the raw material available. This link needs considerable support to produce quality cocoa in quantity,", acknowledges the Mambasa region administrator.
Rikolto is going to work alongside at least 700 cocoa producers, gathered in the Okapi cocoa cooperative, to meet the challenges along the road to better quality. With the World Conservation Society, which is working to conserve the okapi, we intend to combine high-quality cocoa production with biodiversity conservation. The road to professionalisation for cocoa farmers is long, and we are open to any form of partnership with stakeholders interested in the well-being of cocoa farmers.
• No centralised processing, no homogeneous cocoa.
«Farmers did the processing themselves, individually. This meant that we did not achieve homogeneous cocoa. Because each person processed it in their own way, according to their timetable, the quality was not good.»
Charles Kambale Kivalotwa Managing director of the Cocoa Okapi cooperative
Low quality cocoa, low prices. The quality of the cocoa is low, both before and after harvest. The market is only organised for volume. As a result, cocoa growers find it hard to live off the meagre resources derived from the sector. "There is a market problem. Producers spend to produce buy when they compare the prices paid to what they have spent, they often end up with a deficit. They need a market that will reward them decently for their efforts. Because the current situation discourages certain cocoa farmers, they may give up growing the crop. I have seen farmers convert to subsistence crops," continues Charles.
Low prices, young people losing interest and unsustainable sector in the long term. "Currently, planters are people of the third age. Young people are not interested in farming because there is no support. If young people are not involved in farming, the sector is not sustainable. This is a crisis in the making because the older people will die, and the sector with them. Unless young people take up the baton," continues Charles Kivalotwa.
Practices that do not meet environmental standards. Cocoa growing in Mambasa region is pushing farmers to cut down the forest to sow new fields. As a result, biodiversity is threatened, in particular in the okapi wildlife reserve, which is globally renowned.
Lack of access to loans. Cocoa growers have no access to loans due to a lack of guarantees and are therefore excluded from the Congolese financial circuit.
Lack of contracts to export cocoa. Congolese coco growers do not export their cocoa. They sell their harvest to intermediaries who offer them low prices.
Structuring cocoa growers in a cooperative. Through their cooperative, cocoa growers will form business relationships with fine cocoa buyers worldwide.
We have led tests to improve quality, following the protocol put in place by the partner company ZOTO. The results were immediate. Kilimamwenza and Mayuwano obtained excellent scores. "In the past two years, we have achieved an 88% cocoa quality score from experiments, giving it the title of speciality cocoa. This is pushing us to go further to implement superior quality cocoa processing infrastructure. It's really a new approach," says the managing director of the Cocoa Okapi cooperative.
We are introducing good agricultural practices that aim to reduce the negative effects on the environment (soil, water, pesticides, etc.). The training aims to increase the yield in the field and reduce the pressure on the forest. By reconciling cocoa growing with biodiversity conservation, the sector has been remodelled. "Thanks to training, producers can give us good cocoa. Because processing starts in the field. The producer must be able to regularly prune the cocoa trees, control the different diseases and sort the good pods to increase the yield, volume and quality. It is very important that producers maintain their fields well to have the right cocoa calibre', says Charles Kivalotwa enthusiastically.
Joint construction of fermentation and drying centres. Rikolto is going to invest jointly with the farmers to set up 22 cocoa fermentation and drying centres. Standardised and centralised cocoa processing will result in a homogeneous product. Above all, it's the best way to produce speciality cocoa to obtain prices that remunerate quality. The managing director of the Cocoa Okapi cooperative has a message: "Rikolto is raising funds for the joint construction of cocoa fermentation and drying centres. (the producers' shares make up half the cost of a centre's construction). Several partners must be able to support this initiative. Today, we have a plan to build 22 fermentation and drying centres in the region. But the means available up to now will only enable us to build 4 centres. Given the production potential in the region, we need much more. It's a major challenge. I call on private and public partners that are interested in the sector to support the initiative. Because, by taking ownership of this crop, if there is support from partners, we will start to improve the socio-economic conditions of a great many small farmers."
We connect cocoa growers with international buyers of speciality cocoa.
Connecting cocoa growers with financial institutions for access to loans. Collecting cocoa pods and processing them to make superior quality cocoa requires considerable financial resources that the cocoa growers' shares alone cannot cover.
Results up to now
Implementation and legal registration of a cooperative. On 1st October 2019, on international cocoa and coffee day, a cooperative was started in the Mambasa region: the Cocoa Okapi cooperative. The cooperative is legally registered.
Attendance at international chocolate trade fairs and introduction to cocoa buyers. In October 2019, the Cocoa Okapi cooperative attended the Paris Chocolate Fair, in France, which exhibits superior quality cocoa. "A big thank you to Rikolto and its backers Alimento and Vivace, for having facilitated and financed the trip. We would also like to thank ZOTO. Without them, the small cocoa producers in Mambasa would not be known on an international scale. Today, it's a matter of pride for Congo. Our cocoa has drawn the attention of a lot of chocolate-makers. Both small and large chocolate-makers have been interested in our cocoa. We have talked to around twenty of them, with the prospect of business relationships," says Charles, enthusiastically.

Mi nombre es José Miranda y soy maestro de español en Beckman High School. I'm in my second year of teaching and have absolutely enjoyed every little bit of my it. I like instructing Spanish because it jogs my memory of myself at a younger age as I used to be learning English. It wasn't something that happened instantly nor was it straightforward, but when I look again I spotted that I had lot's of fun doing it. As a teacher it is unbelievable to see a student breakdown the barriers of language and totally engulf themselves in having enjoyable with the language as they proceed to develop it.
