"100 Yard Dash" is a song by American recording artist Raphael Saadiq, released as a single on March 30, 2009, by Columbia Records. It was the second single from Saadiq's 2008 album The Way I See It. "100 Yard Dash" is an upbeat soul song about love as a fast, impulsive race. Although it did not chart, the song was well received by music critics.

Music and lyrics

"100 Yard Dash" is a short, upbeat song with a traditional soul style, tambourine shakes, and a stiff backbeat. Percussionist Jack Ashford played characteristically funky, tambourine shuffle notes on the song.

The song's lyrics express playful physicality, and liken love to a fast race that impels a man's heart: "My heart is pumping but still running in place". Arts critic Ken Tucker views "100 Yard Dash" as exemplary of "top-rate" soul songwriting, writing that, "Saadiq takes an unorthodox metaphor ... and he earns it by the variations he sustains verbally, increasing the tension in the song." Saadiq sings at an uncharacteristically high pitch, the highest of any song on the album.

Music video
A music video for the song was released on January 27, 2009. It was filmed in black-and-white and incorporated splashes of color in graphics inspired by classic Reprise and Blue Note Records album covers. Saadiq wanted the video to serve as an "extension" of the song's album and evoke the music era that inspired its sound.

Live performances
Saadiq performed the song on Live from the Artists Den on December 3, 2008. He also performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on February 10, 2009, and on Dancing with the Stars on May 13. Niccole Culver of Creative Loafing cited the song as a "crowd favorite" in a review of Saadiq's performance at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta.

Reception
Luke Grundy of The Independent called "100 Yard Dash" "irrepressibly funky", and Time Outs Areif Sless-Kitain cited it as one of the "strongest tracks" on The Way I See It. Thomas Fawcett of The Austin Chronicle commented that it "demands a sprint to the dance floor." Misha Berson of The Seattle Times complimented "Saadiq's high, sweet voice" and the song's "slick soul arrangement," writing that it "evokes happy memories of '60s Motown stars like Marvin Gaye and The Temptations in their prime." Ken Tucker of NPR praised the song's "propulsive melody" and viewed it as "a brilliant take on Smokey Robinson and the Miracles." Michael Menachem of Billboard found the song to be "complemented by Saadiq's vocal, with emphasis in all the right places", and "recorded in the classic tradition of short R&B songs: It leaves listeners wanting more, so they play the record again and again."

Nate Chinen of The New York Times named "100 Yard Dash" one of the top-five singles of 2008. The single did not chart.

Guilty plea in probe into Calif tomato industry
7 May 2009 1,060 views No Comment
Federal prosecutors announced another guilty plea Tuesday stemming from an ongoing probe into a conspiracy in the California tomato growing industry that authorities say drove up food prices across the nation.
Robert C. Turner Jr., 59, a former corporate purchasing manager at B&G Foods Inc. in Parsipanny, N.J., pleaded guilty to two counts of honest services mail fraud in connection with the investigation.
Turner admitted receiving about $65,000 in bribes from Randall Lee Rahal, a former sales broker at SK Foods, a Lemoore-based company that grows and processes products like tomato paste and diced tomatoes.
Acting U.S. Attorney Lawrence Brown said Rahal bribed Turner from at least 2004 to 2008, hoping to ensure his employer bought only from SK Foods and paid inflated prices for its tomato-based products.
Rahal also is the owner and president of New Jersey-based Intramark USA Inc., a wholesaler of food ingredients, including processed tomatoes grown in California. Prosecutors say Rahal worked with SK Foods to fix prices and rig bids across the country in violation of antitrust laws.
Rahal, the first person charged in the probe, pleaded guilty in December to racketeering, money laundering and antitrust charges. He also agreed to cooperate with investigators and forfeit more than $600,000.
As part of his plea agreement, Turner agreed Tuesday to pay $65,198 in restitution to B&G Foods and Nabisco Inc., where he worked as a purchasing manager in the 1990s and also accepted bribes, authorities said.
His attorney, John Azzarello, did not return an after-hours call for comment.
Turner is scheduled to be sentenced in August. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
In addition to Rahal and Turner, three others have pleaded guilty in connection to the probe:
_ Jennifer Lou Dahlman, SK Foods' former records and business analyst, pleaded guilty in February to shipping moldy tomato products across state lines.
_ James Richard Wahl Jr., a former Frito-Lay purchaser from Dallas, pleaded guilty in February to accepting $160,000 in bribes in exchange for steering processed tomato products contracts to SK Foods instead of its competitors.
_ Robert Watson, a Kraft senior purchasing manager of White Plains, N.Y. pleaded guilty in January to accepting $158,000 in bribes from Rahal.

People category:
Bessie Amelia Head Image source
Teacher, author and journalist
Location of birth:
Pietermaritzburg, KZN, South Africa
Location of death:
Serowe,Botswana
Head was the daughter of a white woman and black man. After her mother's parents found she was pregnant she was sent to a mental asylum, where Head was born on 6 July 1937. She was brought up by foster parents and then by the Anglican mission orphanage. Head trained as a primary school teacher and taught for a few years but in 1959 she began a career as a journalist. She wrote short stories for Johannesburg's Golden City Post a weekly supplement that was related to the more famous Drum magazine. Her work for Drum magazine won her a reputation as writer.
In 1960, Head moved to Cape Town where she became part of a group of anti-apartheid activists and married fellow activist Harold Head in 1962. Together they lived in District Six and Head worked for a monthly magazine, The New African where she found general support for her Africanist politics. During this period in District Six, Head wrote her first novel, The Cardinals but this was only published after her death. In 1963, she moved to Port Elizabeth with her husband, where he was to work as the first Black reporter for the Evening Post. In 1964 her husband, Harold, fled to England and Head was given a one-way exit to Botswana. By this time their marriage had fallen apart.
In Botswana, Head taught for a while and then started to work on the Swaneng Hill project dealing with community farming education in Serowe, but had a difficult time as she experienced rejection from the Africans of Botswana. After losing her job as a teacher, she worked on a farm and then for a construction company. She turned to writing, and in her writing, she draws from her experiences in South Africa. She talks about her vision for the future and the problems she experienced with identity. In Botswana, Head wrote a short novel, When Rain Clouds Gather followed by Maru, a novel that dealt with the oppression against the Masarwa people. After Maru, Head wrote A Question of Power which is a reflection of her experience of a mental breakdown that she suffered as a result of living in fear and poverty as a refugee.
In 1977, she published the first collection of short stories (The Collector of Treasures) to be published by a black South African woman. The Botswana government finally granted Head citizenship in 1979, which allowed her to travel overseas. Her reputation as a writer grew and she often met academics and students who wished to make her work the subject of their thesis and even South African publishers eventually published her work.
Head died of hepatitis at the age of 49 in 1986 while still working on some books.

Dys has introduced a lineup of race motors for the fpv mini quad scene. The 2205-2750 edition is a well designed and efficient motor for the high kv rating.
It's one of the best performing motors we have tested so far for 4″and 5″ prop sizes. With quality NMB bearings and capable of producing over 500W of power and over 1kg of thrust on a 4S setup, this little motor punches well over its weight.

The Devil All the Time Review
The Devil All the Time is a film that is adapted from the novel of the same name, written by Donald Ray Pollock. It has a wonderful cast of actors and it highlights their strengths, in this slow burn psychological thriller. The religious, Christian ideals are tested and what is considered "right", is in the eye of the beholder.
There are moments in this film that are assembled and revealed so well, that the way everything unfolds, will make you question everyone's morals. Director Antonio Campos, made some great choices and there are moments that will completely catch you off guard because of how graphic certain scenes are. Some characters have a more timid presence, so the more gruesome scenes were shocking.
On paper this cast is incredible but the way they are all placed and spread out in the film, left me underwhelmed. The first half of this film, we are introduced to Willard Russell (Bill Skarsgård) and Carl Henderson (Jason Clarke) in a restaurant. They are both very reserved but have something waiting to snap, in the veil behind their eyes. The men in this town, all had the same look, their eyes crazed, while having a timid demeanour.
Even though the central story is about the demons of lineage and family trauma, for Arvin Russell (Tom Holland), the women in this film were severely underused. How can you cast Haley Bennett, Mia Wasikowska, Riley Keough and Eliza Scanlen but underuse them? The women in this story, were used to further the plot of the men in the town and it was frustrating, given how much talent they have.

(Left) Bill Skarsgård as Willard Russell, Michael Banks Repeta as Young Arvin Russell
It is a very slow film about Christians in the '50s and how everyone's morals can be tested, by what the correct way to live is. Everyone moves in secret, everyone has their demons, that is why the title of this film makes complete sense, the devil will tempt you at every turn, it is up to you and your compass, to decipher what is right or wrong, in the face of God.
The saviours of the second half of this film are Tom Holland, Eliza Scanlen and the King of accents himself… Robert Pattinson. After 40 minutes, the film picks up and we are taken into the lives of Arvin Russell (Tom Holland) and Lenora Lafferty (Eliza Scanlen) as a new Reverend comes into town, named Preston Teagardin (Robert Pattinson) and changes everyone's lives.
The Devil All the Time seems like a very long journey, with all these characters, who all have something to hide, but turn to God, to guide them in what they consider, the "right" direction. Morals are tested, lives are at stake and the executioner, can be sitting right beside them in church. It has great performances and an ending, that will mirror your feelings by the end.
Make sure to check out The Devil All the Time on Netflix September 16th!

Q: Angular 7 does not launch prompts when enter "ng new myProject" I use Ubuntu. I have installed: node, npm, webpack, cli, typescript.
When I enter ng new myProject in the chosen directory, I do not get questions (or prompts) but some weird kind of console editor.
What should I do to get Angular7 project initialized successfully?

A: You typed mg new myProject instead of ng new myProject.
mg Documentation: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/mg.1.html
UPDATE:
It seems that ng has been wrongly mapped. Running the below command, will solve the issue:
sudo apt purge ng-common ng-latin

Then install angular-cli:

The Westminster Dog Show is one of the most famous dog shows, and began a little unexpectedly! The dog show had humble beginnings, all starting in 1876. The Westminster Club, at the time, was primarily a shooting club. They sent one of their members over to England to obtain a pointer for breeding reasons. However, the dog, named Sensation was so, well, sensational, that they instead used him as a show dog. From there, slowly, the Westminster Kennel Club was formed and created the Westminster Dog Show.
So now you know a little bit about the history of the dog show, but what about current history? Here's a recap on the results of this year's show, which took place February 13th and 14th.
Ain't nothin' but a hounddog... the winner of the Group this year was a Norwegian Elkhound named Daggarwood Delight.
On the opposite end of the size-spectrum, the winner of the Toy Group was the ever-lovable Pekingese, with an alliterative name of Pequest Pickwick.
The Non-Sporting Group is still plenty active! At least, the winning Miniature Poodle was. With plenty of energy, As If took home the gold for her group.
The ever-regal Irish Setter took home the award for the Sporting Category. Sea Breeze's shiny red coat billowed as he walked like a... well... sea breeze!
The breed with arguably the cutest face of all, the Boxer, won first place in the Working Group. Her name is perfect if she wants to sneak up on peole while they're discussing her win - Speak of the Devil.
The cute, fluffy, Twice as Nice was the winner for the Terrier Group. The Norwich Terrier is so adorable that you wouldn't believe he's not a stuffed animal!
The winner of the Herding Group this year was the powerful and regal Rumor Has It V Kenlyn. That's right, she's so awesome that she has a first and last name. This beautiful German Shepherd took home first place in Herding and the Best In Show!

Here you can find my HCI, Web technology and Computer Graphics related papers on topics such as novel user interface designs and guidelines, new interaction techniques, user performance, and user studies.
The aim of the workshop is to encourage researchers from both the Web and 3D graphics communities to meet and talk about an integration of interactive 3D graphics capabilities into the Web technology stack.
Wikimania is an annual global event devoted to Wikimedia projects around the globe (including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews, Wiktionary, Wikispecies, and Wikimedia Commons). The conference is a community gathering, giving the editors and users of Wikimedia projects an opportunity to meet each other, exchange ideas, report on research and projects, and collaborate on the future of the projects.
This tutorial presents an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the state of the art of non-immersive interaction techniques for Navigation, Selection & Manipulation, and System Control, including a basic introduction to the topic, the challenges, and an examination of a number of popular approaches. We hope that this tutorial can aid both researchers and developers of interactive 3D Web applications in having a clearer overview of the topic and in particular can be useful for practitioners and researchers that are new to the field of interactive 3D graphics.
During the mini-workshop, we describe a simple to use authoring application, which may help museums to create virtual exhibitions in a quick and intuitive way. We introduce 3dWiki, a 3D wiki engine. We describe step by step how to create a virtual exhibition using 3dWiki: from creating models representing the artifacts, through authoring the textual content, creating the links, to publishing the result on-line.
We demonstrate one of the potential paths of the evolution of wiki engines. We introduce 3D wiki engine, which was built according to 2-Layer Interface Paradigm (2LIP). It was developed for use by Copernicus, our vision of a 3D encyclopedia. In the demonstration: (1) We give an overview of 2-Layer Interface Paradigm, an attempt to marry advantages of 3D experience with the advantages of narrative structure of hypertext. (2) We describe step by step how to create an article for Copernicus: from creating models for the 3D background, through authoring the content, creating the c-links, to publishing the result in our encyclopedia. (3) We show how to use a physics engine in our wiki.
We present Didaskon, a framework for automated composition of a learning path for a student.

Five women have accused the actor of sexual misconduct and exploitation.
The Oscars' Best Actor in a Leading Role category just snubbed a major, and controversial, figure in Hollywood: James Franco.
Franco, whose role in "The Disaster Artist" won him the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy, was accused of sexual misconduct and exploitation by five women earlier this month.
When the actor collected his award, one of his accusers said it "was like a slap in my face." That accuser was one of Franco's former acting students.
Amid the accusations, Franco still attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday. It's not clear if he'll attend the Oscars.

Pagosa Therapeutics MEDICAL Marijuana Store is Closed.
After five wonderful years we have closed our medical marijuana store. This has been a very difficult decision to come to terms with, especially since our medical marijuana store is where it all started. The market for medical marijuana is on a downward trend across Colorado. Amidst declining sales for the past several years, we resolved to keep the medical store open as a service to the public here in Archuleta County, as long we could, especially since we were the last one.

Second accuser 'posed' for American Apparel CEO
By James Covert
BEDROOM EYES: American Apparel CEO Dov Charney says Kimbra Lo willingly posed for steamy photos like this one at his LA mansion on Dec. 9. Lo is suing him for sexual harassment.
CHARNEY
Took sexy snaps.
Another American Apparel worker suing company CEO Dov Charney for sexual harassment also appeared in dozens of dirty pictures — this time with the randy clothier himself taking the saucy snaps during an X-rated job interview.
Kimbra Lo, 19, is seen in some shots splayed on the bed with her eyes closed and head tossed back.
The hipster clothing-company boss took a total of 69 pictures during the Dec. 9 meeting at his Los Angeles mansion, and his lawyers say they tarnish claims he is the predator Lo describes in court papers.
The provocative new photos were revealed a day after The Post obtained a litany of raunchy pictures and e-mails that another alleged sexual-harassment victim, Irene Morales, 20, apparently sent to Charney.
Lo, whose first stint with the company was last April, claims Charney, 42, lured her to his home under the pretense that he wanted to talk about rehiring her as a model and photographer.
But Charney insists Lo was a willing participant in the 45-minute shoot.
Lo also sent a series of flirty e-mails and texts to Charney in the weeks following the steamy interview, including confessions that "Lolita" was her favorite flick.
A few hours later, Lo and Charney had two phone conversations lasting a total of almost two hours, according to records provided to The Post.
"This is an orchestrated shakedown by a group of former employees that are friends and roommates, and who, not incidentally, happen to have the same lawyer," said Stuart Slotnick, Charney's lawyer.
Lawyer Eric Baum, who represents Lo and Morales — the ex-worker who claims Charney kept her as a sex slave — claimed again yesterday that Charney is a "sexual predator."
Lo told NBC's "Today" show yesterday that Charney "instantly attacked me" at his mansion. "And I made it very clear for him to stop. I said, 'No, please don't touch me,' and he became more aggressive. Honestly, I don't think there was a way for me to leave safely."
Meanwhile, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge yesterday said she's considering whether to hear Morales' $260 million lawsuit in court or force it into arbitration.
Morales left American Apparel in January 2009 and returned briefly last summer as an independent contractor.

Secret Service Officer Shot Man Who Appeared to Be Holding a Gun. It was a comb
By Steve Neavling
ticklethewire.com
A man shot by a Secret Service officer near the White House was holding a comb and suffered from mental illness, according to new court documents.
Myron Berryman, 51, who was charged with assaulting a police officer after the Aug. 10 shooting, approached the Secret Service officer and said he had a gun, The Washington Post reports. Court records say Berryman appeared to grab an object from the right side of his body and pointed his clasped arms at the officer.
Berryman was shot in the torso and is now recovering at a psychiatric hospital, his lawyer says.
It wasn't until after the shooting that the officer realized Berryman had a comb, not a gun.
Just before the shooting, according to a police report, Berryman is accused of shooting at the officer, "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to shoot you."

New Horizons is a robotic spacecraft mission conducted by NASA. It was the first spacecraft to fly by and study the dwarf planet Pluto and its moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra. After the successfull flyby of Pluto, the spacecraft continued on for a Jan 2019 flyby of as part of the New Horizons Kuiper Belt Extended Mission (KEM). The mission was prepared primarily by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). New Horizons was successfully launched on January 19, 2006. After a flyby of Jupiter on February 28, 2007 at 5:43:40 UTC, New Horizons is expected to arrive at Pluto in July 2015. As New Horizons passed through the Jovian system for a gravity assist in February, it performed scientific observations of Jupiter, the Galilean satellites, the Jovian rings, Himalia, Elara, and Earth.
The New Horizons primary goal is to improve our understanding of the worlds at the edge of our solar system. The mission will image and map the surface appearance with visible-wavelength cameras, perform near infrared spectral studies to determine surface composition, and probe the atmospheres with ultraviolet spectrometers and radio waves to study escape of the atmosphere as well as the interaction of the atmosphere with the solar wind.

Die Kathedrale des heiligen Martin () ist eine gotische, ursprünglich romanische Kathedrale in Spišská Kapitula (Zipser Kapitel), heute einem Stadtteil von Spišské Podhradie (Kirchdrauf) in der Landschaft Zips. Sie ist dem heiligen Martin von Tours geweiht und ist die Kathedralkirche des Zipser Bistums und Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes "Levoča, Zipser Burg und damit assoziierte Kulturmonumente".

Zuerst wurde die Kathedrale als eine romanische Kirche in den Jahren 1245–1273 erbaut. So entstand eine mächtige, dreischiffige Basilika, wobei alle Schiffe gleich breit waren, doch das Hauptschiff doppelt so hoch. Jedes Schiff endete in halbkreisförmigen Apsiden. In derselben Zeit baute man die zwei romanischen Türme. Die Kapitelle zeigen reiche romanische Ornamentik. Von der romanischen Kirche sind noch ein Teil der Nordwand mit einem romanischen Portal und die Ostwand mit einem noch erkennbaren Triumphbogen vorhanden. 1328 fügte man noch die Kapelle "Corporis Christi" hinzu.

Die Basilika diente der Propstei gut 200 Jahre, doch im 15. Jahrhundert wurde eine Instandsetzung auf Grund des Verfalls, aber auch größeren Zustroms der Gläubigen notwendig. 1462 begann der Propst Johann Stock mit der Grundsteinlegung den Umbau, starb aber 1464 in Buda. Der neue Propst Gaspar Back setzte die Instandsetzung fort. Ein gotischer Chor wurde erbaut. Die Seitenschiffe wurden auf das Niveau des Hauptschiffes erhöht, sodass eine Hallenkirche entstand. Obwohl die neue Kirche mit dem Hauptaltar bereits 1478 geweiht wurde, wurden die Gewölbe der Seitenschiffe erst 1497 fertiggestellt.

1493–99 wurde an der Stelle der alten Kapelle die neue Zápolya-Kapelle nach dem Vorbild der Zápolyakapelle  an der Kirche des heiligen Ladislaus in Spišský Štvrtok erbaut. Dies geschah wenige Jahre, nachdem das Geschlecht Zápolya zu erblichen Gespanen der Gespanschaft Zips wurde. Die Kapelle ist mit der Kirche durch zwei offene Arkaden verbunden. Sie hat große Fenster mit spätgotischem Maßwerk und ein Netzgewölbe.

Spätere barocke Umgestaltungen wurden in einer Regotisierung in den Jahren 1873–89 rückgängig gemacht. Seit 1776 ist die Kirche Sitz des Bistums Zips.

Zu den wertvollsten Ausstattungsstücken der Kirche gehören die romanische Plastik eines Löwen (Leo albus), die hinter dem Nordeingang der Kathedrale steht, sowie ein 1861 wiederentdecktes Wandgemälde aus dem Jahr 1317, das die Krönung von Karl Robert von Anjou zum ungarischen König darstellt. Während der barocke Hauptaltar im 19. Jahrhundert durch einen neugotischen ersetzt wurde, blieben einige Seitenaltäre original erhalten, so der Dreikönigsaltar, der Altar des Hl. Michael und der Altar Mariä Entschlafung, alle aus dem letzten Drittel des 15. Jahrhunderts.

House Appropriations Chairman John Otto, R-Dayton.
The Texas House's lead budget writer filed legislation Monday that would fully fund a state health care plan covering more than 250,000 retired teachers and their dependents.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman John Otto, R-Dayton, said late last month the lower chamber wants to pick up the entire $768 million tab for TRS-Care over the 2016-17 biennium. Texas Senate leaders have indicated they will do the same.
The money will be included in House Bill 2, Otto said Monday at a committee meeting.
Securing that sum was one of the main goals of teacher groups this session, although they have called it just a first step. The Legislature also needs to overhaul the plan structure to make it financially sustainable for the long-term, those groups have said.
Teacher Retirement System Executive Director Brian Guthrie brought the same message to the House Pensions Committee Monday, where he laid out seven options for shoring up the fund.
On Monday, Otto also said that discussions still are ongoing about how exactly to use the additional $2.2 billion the House has allocated for schools in its starting point budget. He also assured the panel that the money will definitely be spent on public education.
The sum, consisting entirely of local property tax revenue, is in addition to the $2.3 billion needed to fund enrollment growth over the 2016-17 biennium — about 85,000 new students a year.
The $2.2 billion has been "earmarked for improving equity and reducing recapture in our public schools," state Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin, the House's lead education budget writer, reminded the committee.
Otto indicated as much earlier in the legislation session, which began Jan. 13.
"I expect in the not too distant future you will be seeing what the anticipated use of this $2.2 billion" is, Otto said.
However, the former Eanes school district trustee emphasized that the $2.2 billion, as well as the nearly equivalent sum covering enrollment growth, is local — not state — money.
He said the subcommittee also added about $50 million for financial aid programs, with the bulk of that going to the Texas Educational Opportunity Grant program. That is on top of the $41.3 million the House already allocated for TEOG and TEXAS Grants in its base budget, he noted.
Howard also praised the funding formula increase, but noted it is nowhere close to what would be needed to restore deep cuts made to higher education institutions in 2011. She said that would take $1.42 billion.


On this page you will learn what orgonite® is, why orgonite® is such great stuff, and how to make your own orgonite® from cheap and widely available ingredients in both words, pictures, and video.
Orgonite® is a word that was invented by Karl Hans Welz for a material he made as a variation on the technology of Wilhelm Reich. He owns the trade mark for the word orgonite® which we use for educational purposes only.
Reich identified an energy which he called orgone and discovered it could be manipulated using layers of metal and organic material. He used things like wood and cotton for his organic materials and iron sheets and other metals as the metallic components.
Welz's orgonite® simply brought a modern material into play acting as the organic component polyester resin. Orgonite® is simply a combination of many metal particles suspended in a resin matrix. Because there are often many metal particles the energy flow within orgonite® tends to be very dynamic making it pretty powerful stuff.
Orgonite® was taken to the next level by Don Croft who added crystals to help convert DOR or Dead(ly) ORgone into POR or Positive Orgone - correction Karl Welz told me that he was using crystals as well so we will give him the credit!
How much you understand the why of orgonite® will depend on how much you are up to date with the front wave of scientific thought about the very nature of life as we know it. Finally, science has caught up with the wisdom of the shamans and have concluded that everything that we perceive as solid is actually vibrating energy. If you understand this you will understand that we can be negatively affected by energy that is disharmonious with life (DOR) in the same way as a staggering drunk would affect the flow of a busy New York sidewalk" particularly if he was walking the other way!
If you extend this analogy further and visualize your life and well-being as a series of busy sidewalks then the modern world, its technology, and inhabitants are like a series of bars spewing staggering drunks into your path 24/7.
In this picture, orgonite® is the stuff that instantly sobers up these characters, turns them around behind you and gets them gently pushing you in the way you want to go! It is that profound and that useful!
Make up your own mind about the intent and purpose of cell phone towers, but I will say that these towers generate a lot of disturbed energy (DOR) which is detrimental to our physical and mental well-being. The good news is that enlightened people are making simple orgonite® devices called tower busters' to disable these towers and even turn them into positive energy generators (POR). Stay on the page to be shown how to make these yourself and energetically clean up your own neighborhood for everybody's benefit.
Watch the video and then read below for more clarification/tips.
This can be bought at some craft and hardware shops. It is used to make those paperweights that you see with bugs, flowers, and other pretty things embedded in them. It is not that expensive but it is good to shop around. Do a Google search on 'casting resin' to find online options and add your location for local suppliers.
Read the instructions carefully. Prepare for spills. Never add the resin to the activator - always add the activator to the resin (it can explode otherwise).
I almost always use a clear quartz crystal in all the devices I make. It is the all singing, all dancing crystal that is ideal for the kind of work you will be putting it to. For the tower busters you can use any rough pieces without terminations (points). If you are making something for yourself (holy hand grenade [modified] or Negater) then you will want to use a decent quality terminated crystal. You might also want to add other crystals for their particular beneficial properties. These properties will be enhanced when they are in or near the orgonite®.
Crystals are readily available at your local new age / crystal / novelty suppliers or search an abundance of online suppliers (Ebay is good). If you get hooked on these wonderful creations of nature (like we have) don't blame me for any subsequent dents in your pocket-book!
If you are making the 'holy hand grenades' (modified) you will need a plastic funnel. This can be any size or shape that you can find. Size does matter in these basic devices so the more powerful energy-wise you want it the bigger the funnel you will be looking for. You will also need a glass marble that fits tight in the neck of the funnel. Bear in mind that if it fits nearer to the tip of the funnel neck then the resulting shape will have a long 'neck' to it and visa-versa.
If you are making 'tower busters' you will need a non-stick muffin tin. I don't recommend using it to make muffins afterwards!
The very least protection you should have is some disposable rubber / latex gloves.
If you plan to work inside then you should think about a mask. The type that is used to block paint fumes is what you need. Even if you are working outside, if you decide to become an orgonite warrior and make lots of devices, then this is a sound investment for your health as the fumes are not nice.
Acetone, which is an ingredient of many (but not all) nail polish removers, is useful to clean up any spills. It can be bought by the can if you are serious about making lots of orgonite.
You will need something to measure your activator and your resin- a medicine cup works well for the activator and a cheap kitchen jug for the resin -or visit your local plastics store for other options.
Spray on oil is great as a release agent. If you use spray cooking oil or workshop lubricant - these are fine.
A table / bench protected with paper is a must.
A jar is great to hold the funnel.
Chop sticks (or any sticks) are great to mix the resin.
The video is pretty clear on what to do but here is a brief run down as a recap.
Set up and prepare your ingredients and protective/ safety equipment. Put on gloves, goggles, & mask as appropriate.
Work out how much resin you are going to need. The best way, if you are making both devices, is to get set up to make them at the same session and over-estimate slightly. This way when your funnel is full you can make as many tower busters as the extra resin will allow.
Spray your molds with a light coating of oil. Wipe with a paper towel to disperse evenly (if needed).
If you are making a holy hand grenade push your marble into the neck of the funnel. Try not to get any oil on the marble because you want it to stick to the resin.
Layer up your metal(s) and push the crystal into the center with the point facing towards the marble. If you are adding additional crystals it is good to put them around the edge half way up where their beauty can be seen. Top up with more metal until you reach the desired level.
Measure the resin into the jug and then the required activator (as per instructors) into the medicine cup (or similar). Add the activator carefully and then mix with your chopsticks thoroughly - at least a minute.
Pour the resin slowly into the funnel in stages allowing it to run down through the layers of metal. Stop when it is stable at a level above your shavings and below the lip of the funnel.
Push the metal down with the chopsticks to remove any air bubbles.
Make sure the funnel is level in the jar and set aside somewhere safe OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS where it can harden safely.
Put metal into the muffin molds and level off.
Push the crystals into the middle of the metal.
Pour in the resin slowly. If you are making a few share it around and then come back to the first one for topping up.
Put aside somewhere safe to set.
Leave to set for a day and then gently tap out onto a surface. You may need to twist and deform the funnel to help the release. The tower busters should come out with a sharp tap or two.
Tower busters should be placed / hidden as near to the towers as possible.
Combining sacred geometry, custom coils and scalar-charged crystals we have been able to make some very strong devices. As a fellow orgone warrior, take 10% off any of our products by using the code "orgonite" in the discount code box (cannot be used in conjunction with any other special offers). Do this and we will also throw in a bag of solfeggio-charged crystals for your own creations - David Slinger.

Bulk Image Link Spam Going Un-detected?
I was asked earlier whether using badges for building links is a good idea.
Its certainly not a new concept, enterprising SEO's (myself included) had used this technique, or variants of it, for years. In the spirit of full disclosure, I also talked extensively about this practice and my experiments in avoiding penalties by rapidly varying anchor texts, but that was a long time ago.
Most SEO's adapted away from this technique years ago, as soon as Google started clamping down on the practice, quite rightly, as it was the very essence of manipulative spam.
At their pricing tier one, the value of those 175,000 free data points for linking to their website, using their badge, is equivalent to $52.50 per month in free usage. Not a bad deal all things considered for including a snippet of html code in the footer of your website.
Below you can see the code snippet they require for the free monthly credit, and no mention of a nofollow attribute. There's also no commercial anchor text as such – although there is an image alt tag (we'll get to this later).
How Popular has the Free Credit for Links Been?
In a word – 'very'. The mixpanel domain currently has a little over 10,000,000 links from over 8,000 domains pointing at it, as measured by MajesticSEO.
For reference, an SEO Visibility score that peaked at 3,000 isn't really that high, however there are some other pretty obvious SEO flaws in the website, starting with the basics there is no robots.txt file on the website and that's typically the mark of a site with zero focus on organic search.
But – and this is where it does get interesting, the site is 2nd (yes, SECOND) for its primary keyword of Mobile Analytics. The very one that's being targeted by the alt text in the image embed they're pushing on webmasters for fifty bucks a month.
Where do Sequoia & Y Combinator Come Into the Story?
Mixpanel has received funding from both of the above funds – they are listed on their website on the about page, under "investors".
This is only relevant as Sequoia were one of the original funds for Google, and Y Combinator also has documented links with several early google staff. This is only really annoying on the basis that when you come from a stable where Google themselves are the thoroughbred – you really, really should know better than to blatantly spam links to achieve rankings.
Just to add to the comedy value, Paul Buchheit is listed by Y Combinator as a partner, and he is also credited as the very person who came up with the slogan "Don't be Evil".
So Have the Funds Protected Mixpanel?
I wouldn't for a second insinuate that by being funded by VC's with documented, direct links with Google have protected them from a link spam penalty – there is zero evidence to support that theory, which is frankly a bit tin-foil hat style – the article title is purely intended to be satire.
That being said though, one of the primary advantages of being in the Y Combinator, Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz club is being able to get advice from those that have been there and done it themselves. This kind of advice and support is designed to make their startups successful. It is entirely possible that they (Mixpanel) HAVE been advised not to engage in this spam technique and have chosen to ignore the advice.
All things considered though, when you keep that kind of corporate company, you should probably take steps to avoid spamming.
2) it would appear that Google is less likely to apply keyword level penalties on image alt text links.
I think the big win for them with this tactic is the sheer amount of referral traffic they get that could easily drive more business than Google as the organic search volumes around some of these analytics terms are actually not as high as you think based on past experience.
It aint SEO, it's growth hacking! That's entirely different! Growth hacks don't get Google penalties, only those dirty sneaky SEOs get penalised.
Just noticed in the screenshot you put, they're linking to https://mixpanel.com/f/partner which in turn redirects to their home page. I guess they're doing that to also track how much traffic they're getting from these badges, which in my estimation will be huge and as David rightly commented above, will drive quite a bit of traffic and business.
It's easy enough for Google to detect the pattern out here and given the way Google has been ever ready to penalize sites, I wonder if they will continue to rank as well as they do. Once the "webspam" team realizes that these links have been "incentivized", there could be an issue? Well only time will tell.

Billy Horschel seeks to double prize money at event aimed at boosting diversity
World number 20 Billy Horschel has set himself the target of almost doubling the prize money on offer at the tournament he established this year aimed at boosting diversity in golf.
The 34-year-old American hosted the inaugural Billy Horschel APGA Tour Invitational, presented by Cisco at Sawgrass in July, with 18 players contesting a pro-am and 36-hole tournament, as well as attending seminars and meetings with industry leaders.
The Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) was established in 2008 as a non-profit organisation with the mission to bring greater diversity to the game of golf.
"My goal this year was to have a purse of 100,000 dollars," Horschel told the PA news agency.
"We came up a little short, it was about 80,000, so next year I've already set a goal for 150,000 and I'm not going to back down from it. We're going to grow it, get more sponsors involved.
"Cisco's on board again, my sponsor Velocity Global is on board again; every sponsor from this year has already said they want to be a part of it again. They are all in because they saw the benefits of this event and how great it was."
The event was won by Willie Mack III thanks to matching rounds of 69, a fitting result giving that meeting Mack was one of the reasons Horschel came up with the idea for the tournament in the first place.
"I met some of the APGA players in 2019 and I got to know Willie Mack and Kamaiu Johnson," added Horschel, who became the second American after Arnold Palmer to win the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth last month.
"Hearing their stories and hearing what some of these guys go through, even though our backgrounds may be different in that they are African-American and I'm white, I didn't grow up with a silver spoon or a lot of money. We were very blue collar, lower-middle class.
"If I didn't have success in college and wanted to play professionally there was going to be a financial strain there so I connected a lot on that level with those guys.
"At the same time golf needs to grow, become more inclusive and more diverse and so I had a thought late last year that I wanted to do something and in February I told my manager and her team and said 'I want to have a tournament for the APGA Tour'.

"I want to sponsor it, bring in sponsors that I know that are going to help these guys in their dream to try to make it to the PGA Tour and, if not, they are going to be there as support for them to figure out what their next journey in life would be.
"My manager thought I wanted to do it in 2022. I said I wanted it to happen this year, so in five months we pulled off a great event and next year we're going to make it even bigger and better.
"We're going to continue to grow it and help these guys because what I realised was that I only knew Willie and Kamaiu, but we had 18 guys in the field and all of them have the ability to play on the Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour, European Tour level.
"There's a handful that are right on the precipice of doing it and there's a few that probably just need a little bit more coaching, a little bit more technique training, whatever it is, to help them get there."


Every day Michael MacCauley (Liam Neeson) took the commuter train to and from work. On the day he was let go from his job, he didn't change his ritual of riding the train. This is where the leadership lessons from The Commuter begin.
That fateful day things changed. Michael was a targeted man. Someone had a plan for him. A sinister plan.
The Commuter was filled with a couple of great plot twists you didn't see coming. Liam Neeson played his role perfectly as did the other cast members.
But let's get into the leadership lessons from The Commuter before I get too far off base.
Caution: The Commuter spoilers below.
We'll find a way. We always do.
Karen, however, had faith. She believed they would find a way to pay for their son's college tuition and allow him to go to college.
Great leaders have faith. They believe where there's a will, there's a way. They are unwavering in this belief.
Do you have faith when it comes to the team you're leading? Do you believe you can get the job done?
If doubt creeps in, kick doubt to the curb and look at the possibilities. You may be shocked at what can be done.
You learn early in The Commuter Michael had a rough start. His father died when he was young. His family was left with little monetary wealth. And he didn't want to see other families go through the same pain and struggle he did.
This is why Michael became an insurance salesman. He wanted to help ensure families were prepared in case of an unexpected death.
Great leaders have a reason behind leading. They know their WHY and they pursue their why with all they have.
Find your why. And make sure your why is front and center in all you do.
One day Michael is called into the office of the business he worked at. He sat down and was informed he was no longer needed at the insurance agency. He was terminated.
There was no warning of his termination. There was just a sit-down chat and a dismissal. His position turned out to be temporary.
Hopefully, you won't be terminated unexpectedly one day. But you have to know your leadership position is temporary.
Be a great leader but be ready to leave your leadership position.
Take a look at your family. That's what matters.
Alex Murphy (Patrick Wilson) was Michael's former partner when Michael was a police officer. Alex and Michael meet for a drink at the local bar. This is when Alex tells Michael this great leadership lesson.
Your family is important. They're what matters most.
As you're growing as a leader, as you're expanding your influence, as you're being recognized more and more often… Don't forget your family. They matter.
Every day Michael rode the commuter train he also did something else. He was reading a book.
He found time to read. I believe he did this for two reasons. The first is to grow closer to his son. His son was reading specific books for school. Michael read the same ones so he could discuss them with his son.
The other reason Michael read was that he knew the power of reading. Reading brings you to new places and gives you insights from other people.
There's an old saying: Leaders are readers. That's because reading is a great way to gain new leadership knowledge.
Find great books to read. They're going to be a quick and easy way for you to gain leadership wisdom.
The antagonist of The Commuter was Joanna (Vera Farmiga). A beautiful woman who began Michael's crazy adventure on the train.
She asked Michael a simple question: What kind of person are you?
I believe this is a question every leader should ask himself on a regular basis. Look deep into your heart and soul and be honest with yourself.
Who are you? Why are you leading? What kind of person are you?
Finding this answer will make a lot of things clear in your life.
Michael was a desperate man when Joanna approached him. His son was going off to college soon. He was given his pink slip. Money was tight in his household.
Now a woman approached him with the offer of $25,000 now and another $75,000 when Michael completed a "little" task.
Michael chose to take the money. He was desperate. And that desperation changed him.
When you're put in a desperate situation, you have a choice to make. Do you stay true to who you are or do you become a different person?
If you know who you are, you will have a firm foundation to stand on. You will be able to resist the temptation to change when the opportunity comes.
Be willing to stand firm. Don't let desperation change you.
After the visit from Joanna, Michael went to the bathroom where Joanna had said the money would be. Michael chose to take the money. This began a series of events that impacted the lives of many people.
However, when Michael took the money, he believed no one was watching. He thought he could take the money and be done. This wasn't the case.
At one of the commuter trains stops, a young African American woman approaches Michael and asks him if he's doing it. She hands Michael an envelope with Michael's wife's ring enclosed. The young woman then tells Michael people are watching.
People look to leaders to be consistent. They're watching them on the job and off the job. They want to know they have a leader who they can believe in.
Be consistent in your work and personal life. They're intertwined and people are watching to see if you are who you say you are.
We all suffer the burden of choice.
There was a man who rode the commuter train every day with Michael. He was an older gentleman and someone Michael trusted.
While Joanna had warned Michael not to tell anyone about what was happening on the train, Michael wrote a note in a newspaper and handed it to this gentleman. This was a mistake.
Joanna had someone push Michael's friend in front of a bus after exiting the train. This man paid the price for Michael's choice.
You may believe your choices don't have much impact. The truth is your choices impact the lives of those you lead. And those choices, you have to suffer the burden of the bad choices you make.
Michael was tasked with finding a person who went by the name Prin before the end of the line. With the name of the last train stop, Michael looks at the schedule to see what zone the stop was in. The stop was in Zone 7.
This knowledge allowed Michael to look at the day commuter tickets on the back of the train seats. Those traveling to Zone 7 had the zone punched on their ticket.
He was able to go from train car to train car and observe the tickets. He was looking for Zone 7 punches and began to assess each of the unknown passengers. His observation skills kicked in.
As a leader, you will have to be observant. You'll have to observe your team members and learn who they are and what motivates them. You'll have to observe the business and figure out the best way to run things. And you'll have to observe your customers and decide what they need and desire.
I've already mentioned Michael's friend was pushed in front of a bus. His friend suffered the consequences of Michael's actions.
Leaders make choices and take action on a regular basis. Sometimes, leaders may believe their actions only impact the decision maker. This isn't true.
Your decisions and actions have a rippling effect. They reach out to those who had no part in your actions.
Know your actions and choices will impact those you lead. Be ready to accept the responsibility for those consequences.
Michael began to act erratically as he searched for the person named Prin. He wandered up and down the train cars, asked questions of complete strangers, and brought a lot of attention to himself.
This attention raised alarms with the other train passengers. One of the passengers notified the authorities and diverted police attention away from Michael's family.
The attention he gained put his family in danger. It also put him in danger as the police officers began to search the train for him and he had to hastily hide in a maintenance compartment under the floor of the train.
You may think getting more and more attention will be great for your leadership. You're going to become well known and people are going to follow you because of the attention you've garnered.
Beware though. Attention also brings out the possibility of danger. The more attention you get, the more scrutiny you'll be under.
As Michael tucked himself into the maintenance compartment of the train, one of the police officers stepped the compartment door and locked it. Michael was now trapped in the compartment with only one option: Roll out from under the train.
This was a dangerous position to be in. The train was moving and the wheels of the train would kill him if he didn't time his roll perfectly.
Be cautious as you lead. Know you need to be aware of your timing when you make major announcements or change course.
You've proven yourself capable. Figure it out.
As Michael and Joanna were playing a game of cat and mouse, Joanna saw Michael was capable. He didn't need his hand held. He would be able to figure out the mission on his own.
You may be tempted to hold the hand of your team members. You may believe they can't figure out their job if you're not beside them.
Remember, you hired your team. You hired them because they were capable. You can let them do their job.
Through Michael's adventure in The Commuter, he wasn't given a lot of information to go on.
He was told the person he was looking for was named Prin. He was told they carried a bag. And he was told their stop.
Three pieces of information and he was to find a person on a commuter train with multiple people on it.
Like Michael, you won't always have a lot of information to make your decisions with. However, you may be given just enough to find a solution and make the right decision.
Know you will have to make decisions with less than the desired amount of information. You can make a good choice even with the lack of information.
No matter how much they pay, you end up owing more.
Oliver (Kobna Holdbrook-Smith) was one of the people Michael suspected of being Prin. However, Oliver turned out to be an assassin in the employ of Joanna.
Oliver said a profound quote in The Commuter. His quote about being paid and still owing really struck me.
You make a choice to work for someone. They pay you for a job well done. And if the people you're working for aren't honest, you may end up owing more.
Be careful of who accept work from. You may end up owing more in the end.
The brakes on the train had been sabotaged. Michael and the train conductors had only a matter of minutes before the train would derail.
They had to make their minutes count. Action had to be taken or else the passengers would all die a horrendous death in a train derailment.
You and I only have so many minutes in the day. One thousand, four hundred, and forty minutes to be exact.
Each of those 1,440 minutes is gone once they pass.
Make your minutes count. Do something worthy with your leadership position.
Michael and a train conductor were able to free the back train car from the rest of the train. While they still derailed, this saved the passengers in the car.
Yet these passengers were not safe. There was still danger outside of the car.
Michael knew the train passengers could be shot if they exited the car. He forced them to stay inside where it was safe.
Great leaders are willing to be firm in order to help their team remain safe. They know the dangers ahead and they are willing to speak up and take action to keep them safe.
Be a leader who is willing to ensure the safety of those they lead.
While Michael was forcing the passengers to stay on the train, he reassured them of their safety. He told the passengers everything would be okay. They would be able to walk off the train when the danger was gone.
Leadership is tough. You are in a position where you receive negative information about the organization or other team members. You know what's going on when others don't.
However, even when you know times are tough, you can reassure your team. You know what's happening but you also know what is on the horizon.
Be a leader who reassures the team. Give your team the hope of a better tomorrow.
Joanna's proposition to Michael was that her request was a little thing he could do. As you watch The Commuter, you soon realize this "little thing" quickly became a big thing.
People lost their lives. Michael and others were injured. Property was damaged.
In the end, the little thing became a BIG THING.
It's like that in leadership as well.
Little choices snowball into bigger results. Little actions wind up bringing you further away from the goal than you thought.
When making choices and taking action, be cautious of where those little things will take you.

In first grade, children begin to feel more independent. First graders now have to use the social skills they developed in Kindergarten to work independently and in small groups with peers. We help your child do this by encouraging them to talk about their feelings, work in groups with other children, and figure out creative ways to solve differences. But the most amazing part of first grade happens as children develop the ability to understand what letters and numbers really mean. When they're ready, they'll be able to fluently read words and understand their meaning. They will also understand the meaning of numbers and relate the numbers to daily concepts such as money and telling time.
First grade is the year of reading. Our goal is to have all students reading fluently and comprehending what they are reading. We read a variety of materials from simple rhymes, to Scholastic News, to patterned stories and beginner non-fiction books. By the end of the year, most are reading grade-level chapter books and some are reading at even more advanced levels.We will spend time reading out loud to the class to model fluent reading. We will also work in small groups to give your child plenty of practice making consonant and vowel sounds. During reading periods we will ask open-ended questions about the stories and have your child retell the story to help him/her to develop strong comprehension skills.
Writing takes many different forms in first grade. Children "create" their spellings as they learn the understandings of written language. Writing activities include writing complete sentences, journal writing and writing creative stories.
Students begin to notice that numbers and math have real-world use. We will use graphs and charts to gather and understand information. Children will learn about the place and value of a number, counting coins, telling time, fractions and basic number facts with addition and subtraction. These concepts are introduced and practiced through conceptual math activities which are hands on with tangible applications.
The natural world around us in daily life is the foundation for the first grade science curriculum. The elementary science program is designed to provide a classroom learning experience that enables a child to learn about science through a variety of hands-on activities. Students will learn how the weather, animals, plants and people change as the seasons of the year change. Animals and plants will be studied more in depth by themselves also. Students are expected to know the basic relationships between the sun and Earth and will begin to develop an understanding of moving objects, simple solutions, and important natural resources.

Польські сибіряки або сибіраки( — збірна назва польських підданих Російської імперії і громадян Польщі, які були заслані або з власної волі переїхали жити в Сибір, на Крайню Північ або на територію Казахстану за часів Російської імперії та СРСР.

Історія

Загальна картина

Переселення поляків у Сибірську частина Російської імперії почалося ще в XVIII столітті, коли туди як засланців стали відправляти прихильників Барської конфедерації. У 1847 році в Росії з багатьох злочинів замінили смертну кару на заслання і каторгу. Значна частина учасників польських повстань 1830 і 1863 років була заслана до Сибіру, і заслані стали називати себе «сибіракам» (саме так у польській мові вимовляється російське слово «сибіряк»). Пізніше до них приєдналися депортовані під час заворушень у Польщі 1905—1907 років, а за радянських часів у Сибіру оселилося багато депортованих у 1939 році з Західної України і Білорусії поляків.

Російська імперія
Досить велика кількість поляків була заслана за політичні переконання, проте багато перебралися до Сибіру по своїй волі, оскільки Сибір здавався їм економічно вигідним регіоном, який міг принести великий прибуток. Саме в Сибіру утворилася найбільша в Росії польська національна громада. Величезна кількість поляків брала участь в будівництві Транссибірської магістралі, і багато польських діячів науки і мистецтва відобразили в своїх працях Сибір — в їх числі були Олександр Чекановський, Іван Черський, Бенедикт Дибовський, Віктор Годлевський, Сергій Ястржембський, Едуард Пекарський, Броніслав Пілсудський, Микола Вітковський і багато інших.

У 1857 році ряд польських засланців отримали право повернутися в Королівство Польське, проте продовжили називати себе польськими сибіряками. Значна група цих людей виступила із закликом до націоналістів займатися «органічною роботою»- розвивати польське суспільство, культуру та економіку, а не займатися підготовкою національно-визвольних повстань. Більшість націоналістів не сприйняли заклики колишніх засланців всерйоз, і вони незабаром розкололися на дві групи — прихильників царської влади та її супротивників. Серед найвідоміших, які повернулися із засланців були Агатон Гіллер, Генрик Краєвський, Кароль Рупрехт і Шимон Токажевського

У 1860-і роки в Сибіру проживало близько 20 тисяч поляків. У 1866 році вони зробили безуспішне Навколобайкальське повстання проти влади.

СРСР
Ще до початку Великої Вітчизняної війни, коли до СРСР були приєднані Західна Україна і Західна Білорусія, радянська влада вислали з приєднаних земель частину польського населення в чотирьох хвилях. Стверджують, що чисельність депортованих поляків становила 1,5 млн чоловік, але розсекречені документи НКВС свідчать про збільшення цифри в 4-5 разів (дані коливаються від 309 тисяч до 381 220 чоловік). Поляків розцінювали як радянських, а не польських громадян, хоча невелика частина полялів, які підлягали депортації все-таки домоглася права залишитися на своїй малій батьківщині. За даними Польського інституту національної пам'яті, радянська влада відправили в Сибір близько 320 тисяч поляків.

Історія Сибіру


As the summer will soon turn to fall, I've realized that this will be the first August in many years that I have not jumped in line with fellow students to register for college classes.
As a recent graduate of Brunswick Community College, this notion is bittersweet. The faculty and staff at BCC were instrumental in my successful completion of a degree.
After a 10-year journey, including enrollment at several community colleges throughout the East Coast, it wasn't until my enrollment at BCC I found success.

The Meaning of Yawning
Yawning can have multiple causes. Today, we'll bring together 5 of the most common ones supported by the scientific community.
Last update: 10 January, 2022
Yawning is often thought to express boredom, inattention, and drowsiness. Although this theory is very popular, scientists actually believe it to be the least likely reason why we yawn. In fact, dozens of theories about the functions of yawning have been proposed so far without enough evidence to consider any of them to be 100% the answer.
In other words, researchers have not found the exact reasons why we yawn. However, they have learned a few things about yawning, so the following article summarizes the most accepted theories. We can promise you two things: the first is that some of them will surprise you, and the second is that before you finish reading this article, you will yawn at least once!
Why do we yawn?
As we've already pointed out, scientists still haven't agreed on the reasons why we yawn. This is partly because the hypotheses put forward have an equal number of points for and against them. Yawning is in itself a mystery – one that we also find in animals.
Indeed, as the evidence shows, most vertebrate species yawn. They do so from the fetal stage (something that also happens in humans) to old age. However, since the theories outlined for humans don't always apply to animals, some experts suggest that yawning has multifactorial implications in different species.
Because of this, there's no single reason why yawning exists. Animals and humans yawn for different reasons, so the action may be motivated by other elements at the same time. With this in mind, here are some of the most interesting hypotheses.
You might like: Circadian Rhythms: How Do They Influence Our Health?
1. We yawn because of stress and fatigue
According to some scientific studies, the origin of yawning could be related to stressful situations and cortisol levels.
A study published in 2011 in the journal Medical Hypotheses pointed out that we yawn due to increased cortisol levels in our bodies. Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal gland when we're stressed and fatigued. So, this would explain why we tend to yawn in these contexts.
Although there's no strong evidence that yawning helps control cortisol levels, it's thought to be a kind of alert to take appropriate action. In small doses, cortisol is healthy, but it can cause heart problems, sleep disorders, and impair the immune system when out of control.

2. It's a natural way for the body to cool the brain
Another of the best-known hypotheses why we yawn is that it has a thermoregulatory function on the brain. In fact, animal studies and research have been done that support this theory. It appears that the frequency of yawning increases as the temperature is higher, and this helps to reduce the temperature in the vicinity of the brain significantly.
Evidence indicates that this also plays out in humans. A study published in 2007 in Evolutionary Psychology tested the frequency of yawning while participants held hot and cold compresses to their foreheads. In the second case, the action was much more frequent, which gives us supporting clues for this hypothesis.
3. Yawning helps relieve ear discomfort
Also, yawning is thought to help alleviate hearing problems experienced during changes in altitude (flying in an airplane or using an elevator, for example). Theoretically, this would be achieved by the opening of the eustachian tubes that are generated following a contraction of the tensor tympani muscles when yawning.
Studies have supported this hypothesis, so it's one of the reasons why yawning frequency increases during rapid changes in altitude. It may also have implications for sharpening auditory sensitivity or alleviating any discomfort felt throughout the auditory sensory plane.
4. We yawn because of boredom
The clearest association made with yawning is that of boredom and monotony. While this is true in some cases, it's not the only explanation.
Experts have found several physiological changes before, during, and after yawning. It's known that just after yawning, the heart rate increases, the eye muscles tense, and lung capacity is enhanced. The sum of all this produces general arousal in the body.
What is the reason for this arousal, and what is its function?
Well, some researchers have theorized, in line with popular belief, that boredom may be the reason. Indeed, we yawn in contexts where our attention or interaction is minimal (watching TV, for example), so this reaction could help motivate us to stay awake or enhance our attention.
5. We yawn to promote social interaction
It is well known that yawning is contagious. This has led some experts to claim that yawning has an empathic mechanism with pro-social consequences. The levels of empathy may even be higher than those achieved during laughter interaction.
Therefore, this mechanism may have evolved as a tool to promote teamwork, otherness, group bonding, and as a method of social insertion. The social aspect of yawning is by far the most intriguing possible theory to scientists.
Of course, there are dozens of other theories as to why we yawn. These five are the most reputable – at least considering the current research landscape. Remember that there may be many causes, so you don't yawn for just one specific reason.
Why Are Yawns Contagious?
Why are yawns contagious? Almost two thirds of people are sensitive to the contagion of yawning which means they'll yawn too!

Collecting porcelain dolls is a popular hobby among youngsters and adults alike. While many children collect porcelain dolls simply for the beauty of the dolls and the joy that collecting them brings, many adults often collect porcelain dolls with an eye toward finding the finest, most valuable antique porcelain dolls they can locate. Learn how to identify fine porcelain dolls that will add value to your collection.
Look for mold numbers or other markings. This is the best place to start when trying to identify a fine porcelain doll. Doll makers took pride in their work in the early days and identified each doll made by etching an identifying name or number on the back of a doll's head, nape of the neck or shoulder plate. Locate these markings and use a guide (see Resources) to help you identify the maker and era of the porcelain doll.
Learn to recognize fine porcelain dolls by material and design. Porcelain dolls made in the 1800s will not have rooted hair. Porcelain dolls of the late 1800s and early 1900s, especially by German doll makers, are likely to be all-bisque composition. Bisque is unglazed porcelain, found chiefly in doll heads and limbs. What are the clothes made from. French and German doll makers were fond of using kid (soft leather) to outfit their porcelain dolls, especially in the 1800 and early 1900s. Composition dolls bodies (wood, sawdust, glue) are also a sign of early dolls.
Look for deterioration from age. Crazing, or little criss-cross cracks in the porcelain, forms with age. A doll with heavy crazing is a very old doll. Fragile clothes are another indication of age.
Identify dolls by physical characteristics. Eyes set into the doll head that don't move were common in the 1800s. Big round eyes with a sideways glance were popular the early 1900s. Some dolls from the 1800s were considered character dolls, made to look like living children and not stylized like other porcelain dolls. Often doll makers used their own children as models. These dolls look unique and very different from other porcelain dolls.
Have your doll professionally appraised if you are in doubt. Locate a local doll appraiser in your phone book or find one online (see Resources). Someone skilled in appraising fine porcelain dolls will be able to help you out.
