You betta work
Cut down on your debt load by picking up a part-time job
PHOTO BY MARK CHAMBERLIN
College: it's an eye-opening experience during which students can gain a wealth of knowledge. Savor it, because it's about the only thing that will increase in wealth during your time in academia.
As much brain power as students will acquire throughout their years at college, it's unfortunately also a time in which money is quickly lost. With housing, meal plans, furniture, school supplies, textbooks, and possibly studying abroad — not to mention spending money for fun activities like concerts, eating out, festivals, and more — costs add up.
Although there are plenty of opportunities to spend money in college, students can defray some of that by making some cash along the way. There are many attainable part-time jobs — both on- and off-campus — that are catered specifically to students.
No matter which area college you attend, on-campus jobs abound for students. These can include positions like campus tour guides, library attendants, dining hall workers, tutors, note-takers, post office assistants, admissions workers, athletic center employees, residential advisors, technical support, research and lab assistants, or department-specific internships.
Many on-campus jobs are made available to students through the Federal Work Study program. Full-time or part-time students with financial need may apply for work-study in order to earn money to help off-set the cost of education. To apply for work-study, students can fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which will determine the level aid they will receive. To fill out a FAFSA, visit fafsa.ed.gov. After you've received your report, consult the student-employment office on your campus to see what positions are available.
But official channels aren't the only way to go if you need to make some cash. If you haven't realized it by now, Rochester is truly a hub of the performing arts. While this means students have the opportunity to view a great deal of performances from all genres — music, theater, dance, etc. — it's also quite feasible for student performers to earn money for their work.
During performance competitions, singers are often desperate for accompanists. That's when savvy student pianists will step up and negotiate a tidy fee. Local churches will often pay students to cantor, play accompaniment, or direct choirs, and the time commitment is fairly minimal. Performing at local events — whether they are weddings, funerals, or concerts — is also good exposure, practice, and yet another way to make some cash. Students at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music have the advantage of the ESM Gig Service, a database that displays local performance opportunities. To register for the service, or post a gig, visit esm.rochester.edu/gig.
If you're an artist who does not practice the art of an audible tune, there are still ways to earn money with your passion. A man who boasts his lover to be as fair as a summer's day clearly possesses a talent for other realms. Local professional and semi-professional theaters such as Geva, Blackfriars, JCC CenterStage, and Downstairs Cabaret Theatre all pay talented thespians to perform in their quality productions.
Artists who prefer to be seen rather than heard may also aim to get their work displayed in local galleries or coffee shops for viewing and sale. The various craft festivals that Rochester hosts also provide a venue for sales and exposure. From holiday crafts fests, to the Memorial Art Gallery's Clothesline Festival, to the various indie craft fairs, there is no lack of opportunity to sell your work. Check the City Newspaper calendar Call for Work section to see what shows are accepting submissions.
Whether you're uninterested in working on campus, are not artistically inclined, or simply need a break from the college environment, a part-time job off-campus might be a good option. Keep in mind that working off-campus prevents its own challenges. Traveling to and from your job may be more trouble than it's worth, and employers may not be quite as understanding if you want to get some calculus cranked out during slow hours.
Potential cons aside, off-campus jobs can be pretty handy for getting discounts. If you're going to pursue a job off-campus, try to work somewhere you'd likely spend money anyways, so as to cut living costs. Working in a favorite clothing store, coffee shop, electronics store, or restaurant is bound to get you perks, and you're likely to be more invested in doing a good job.
College is a busy time, and many students may feel that sustaining a job is impossible. That's OK! Your first job, after all, is to study hard, and be a good student. Even if you don't think working during school is right for you, a couple easy bucks can still be made for thrifty thinkers. At the end of each semester, go through closets at home and at school to weed out items you no longer wear — that old t-shirt, the jeans that didn't fit quite right, or that sweater that severely clashed with your hair. Newer or less-worn clothes can be sold to consignment stores; Goodwill will happily accept the rest. Come move-out time in May, if you have relatively reliable appliances or furniture that can't be easily moved or that you have no use for, try selling it to someone you know. People will already be in the market for furnishings for next year, and would probably rather buy it at half price from a friend.
Aside from the independently wealthy, all of us are likely to rack up debt during college. It's bound to happen. If you're smart about it, though, there are ways to lessen the load a bit. Give one of the above suggestions a shot, and you may alleviate some impending student-loan pain. Your parents (and your future self) will thank you.

Q: find this integral $\int_{|z|=10} \frac{dz}{z^5+z+1}$ Good time of day
I try to compute this integral $\displaystyle \int_{|z|=10} \frac{dz}{z^5+z+1}$
Can you help me please
My attempt is the following
I try to compute using residues. There are no poles. And consider residue at $\infty$. $\operatorname{Res}_{z=\infty}f(z)=0$
And as a result this integral is equal zero
I'm correct? or it's not true. I'm not sure about it.

A: It is false that there are no poles. There are always poles when you have a rational function which is not polynomial. However, it is true that if $|z|\geqslant2$, then $|z^5+z+1|\geqslant29>0$. Therefore, by Cauchy's theorem,$$\int_{|z|=R}\frac{\mathrm dz}{z^5+z+1}$$is independent of the choice of $R$, as long as $R\geqslant2$. So, since$$\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{|z|=R}\frac{\mathrm dz}{z^5+z+1}=0,$$your integral is indeed $0$.

Thai Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, 64, has become the country's new king, succeeding his much-revered late father King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
He accepted the throne in a televised broadcast following an invitation from parliament, formalising his accession.
King Bhumibol, the world's longest-reigning monarch, died on 13 October.
The crown prince had been expected to become the next king the day after his father's death, but Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha at the time said that he had asked to delay the official proclamation so he could mourn.
Instead, the crown prince was anointed in a special ceremony 50 days after the death of the late Thai king.
He becomes King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun, the 10th monarch of the Chakri dynasty, but will also be known as Rama X.
"I would like to accept in order to fulfil his majesty's wishes and for the benefit of all Thais,'' he said in a televised statement.
Mr Prayuth, who was among top government figures attending, said the new king would become the "heart and soul" of the nation.
Media captionWhat do we know about Thailand's new king?
His accession to the throne ends a period of uncertainty during which Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda, a 96-year-old former prime minister, has been serving as regent.
Thailand's monarchy is protected from criticism by tough lese-majeste laws, which restrict media discussion about the royal family's role, including in the international press.
In recent years he has tried to improve his profile - important because the king is traditionally seen as a guiding force in Thai politics, which is highly polarised.
His coronation will not happen until after King Bhumibol's cremation, expected next year.
Bhumibol's own coronation took place four years after his brother King Ananda Mahidol died of gunshot wounds in mysterious circumstances.


My third Silk-Epil, even better than the first!
I had my second Silk Epi on vacation and it got caught in material and broke it. My fault. I bought the 7 because it was the only one available locally. It is so much faster than my previous one and much to my surprise, the shaver/trimmer attachment from my old Epi works with my new one! I was so happy because I use that a lot too. I like that Braun have not changed the design. I have always loved the built in light. Great product!
After over a decade of dealing with thick, dark hair on my face, I finally found the perfect product in this epilator. I actually cried after I first used it a couple of days ago because it really removed all of the hair. No more tweezing for an hour and getting hand cramps, no more threading that didn't always get all the hairs, no more using a mustache trimmer to lessen the look of the hair and no more razor blades to my face! I have seriously used everything short of expensive laser treatments. I would recommend this product to everyone! I am so glad to have found this product after so long. This was my last attempt at hair removal, after this, I was going to give up and just shave it like I used to. Thank you sooo much, Braun!!! I finally look like a woman again!
Wow, does this hurt! But it hurts soo good!
I loved the idea of an epilator and was very excited to have the opportunity to try this one. I had never used one before and was really shocked at how painful it actually is. I read other reviews that said to make sure you go slow, and I did, but that didn't really make the pain be any less. However, I gave it 5 stars because yes, it is painful, but it is very effective. My legs were hairless for at least 3 weeks and when I tried to use the epilator again, the pain was virtually non-existent. I love that I can use it on wet or dry skin and that it is cordless. It doesn't take very long to charge, but I do like to charge it before every use. It is a really great product and I am glad I got the opportunity to test it.
well as a background before this review i want to say my skin is sensitive so i might have experienced different things. That being said, i epilated twice trying to give it a chance. the first time I epilated it HURT! like bad hurt! and my legs got like razor bumps. I have waxed before and yes that was also painful but I feel like epilating was definitely way more painful.Like I said i tried it twice and the second time the bumps weren't as bad so that's good. I definitely didn't try it on my face or my lady parts because since it hurt so bad on my legs I wasn't about to try it anywhere else! I'm sure the more you use it the easier it gets but I just can't because the bumps that lasted 2 days and it was hurtful. I'm a cry baby, I know! Waxing hurt at first too, and then i got used to it but I guess it's just so much quicker than epilating. I feel like since it takes longer to epilate it was that much more painful. My leg hairs did grow back in way slower and thinner which is always a PLUS! So yes does it work of course it just wasn't for me. I couldn't handle the pain but if I could I would have loved to keep epilating because it made my hair grow in so SLOWLY! It was great while it lasted!!
I had never tried an epilator before. Thanks to Bzzagent and Braun I was able to try the silk epil 7 for review purposes. I will admit, when I got it in the mail I was terrified. However after trying it out it was not too painful. I did have to go ovver the same area a few times, but it got the job done. My skin felt smooth for days. I recommend it.
Bruan Silk Epil 7 is a winner!
This epilator is pretty good. I've tried quite a few and this is definitely a top contender. It's really easy to turn on and off and the light is a god-send. The little light is actually really bright and extremely helpful. My only tiny issue that I have is that it can be a little hard to get the really smaller hairs or the solitary hairs. I'd have to keep going over and over the same spot and it would not grab onto the hair! I've used other epilators where it would grab even the tiniest little stub of hair. But I still really liked this one because it still does an excellent job. Just be sure to exfoliate afterwards to keep those evil ingrown hairs at bay.
I was actually nervous to try this product. I have never used anything like this before. I have always shaved & dealt with the cuts & scrapes left by dull or old razors. When I received it in the mail, it was really cute & feminine. My Husband used it on a small spot on his arm to help me feel more at ease about trying it. His hair is very thick & course. He was surprised at how easy & painless it was to use. He tried both settings & said the higher speed was a bit more comfortable. However, both settings were not bad. I decided it was my turn. The hair on my arms is really fine & light, so I started there. I was pleasantly surprised as well. It was easy & relatively painless. I would much rather use this than take my chances on cutting myself with razors forever. The results are so much longer lasting than shaving. It was close to 12 days before I needed to use it again. Comparing that to the price of razors & how often you have to replace them it's a no brainer. Thank You for giving me this amazing product!!!! I will be telling everyone I know how wonderful the Braun Silk epil 7 is!!!
Now that my campaign is almost ending I have a more clear decision and I really think this is no a product I could use in the future, I am not comfortable using this technique I rather shave or use a hair removal cream. I came up with this decision because epilators are very painful, the first time I used it I kind of like it but the next time I got my skin really irritated and looking like chicken skin, it hurt a lot and I got really scared that's not normal and I wouldn't like to go through this again.
The idea of being able to try an epilator for the first time seemed amazing! I have a thing for hair that I just hate having hair unwanted. So I decided to try out the campaign. I was so excited when I received the box so I rushed home to try it out! I am a girl who can handle pain but this epilator I could not handle at all! It kept pinching me to the point where I had little blood spots. I heard that a new user with epilators hurt the first time or with long hair, so after couple of days and once I shaved and my hairs started growing out again I tried it once again. The second time around it seemed to be bit better but I still could not manage the pain. So for right now I think I just have to get used to it little by little.

Dissolution of Marriage and Custody of Children Under Customary Law in Nigeria (II) – Bright E. Oniha
One of the most contentious consequential or ancillary aspects of dissolution of customary law marriages like other forms of marriages is the issue of the custody of children. Under the Customary Courts Law of the various states where customary courts have been established, provisions have made relating to custody of children in the event of dissolution of customary law marriages by customary courts. For example, the Customary courts law 1984 of defunct Bendel State (as applicable to Edo State), jurisdiction of Customary Courts in Edo State in the area of guardianship and custody of children under customary law is unlimited.
Generally, in most systems of customary law the father has absolute right to custody of the children of the marriage. Upon his death, the male head of the father's family is vested with the right. Although the day to day care of the children may be the responsibility of the mother.
Where however, the children are still of tender age in need of motherly care and affection, the children are kept in the custody of their mother until they can be properly and safely separated from their mother and returned to their father. There has been a host of judicial decisions by courts in Nigeria interpreting this aspect of customary. Most of them have generally upheld this principle.. Although, it must be said that the strict application of this custom is fast waning. Nowadays, different factors are now taken into consideration in determining the issue of custody of the children of a customary marriage. Therefore decisions such as that in the case of Abiakam v. Anuawu50, where the court upheld the primary of the absolute right of a father to custody of children until they attain the age of majority and that of the Delta State Customary Court of Appeal in an unreported case of Mbanoso vMbanaso in respect of custody where the court stated thus:
"We have observed earlier that in most systems of customary law in Nigeria, the father of a legitimate child or legitimated child have absolute right to custody of the child and most courts have taken judicial notice of this; so it need not be specifically proved."
Has been modified and watered down by the Nigerian Supreme Court in the case of Okwueze v. Okwueze. In this case, the Supreme Court held that whilst it recognizes the superior rights of the father, this right will not be enforced where it will be detrimental to the welfare of the children. However, there has been statutory intervention in this area in cases of judicial dissolution of marriage. As early as 1958, the marriage, Divorce and custody of children adoptive By-law in force or applicable to the states of Ogun, Oyo, Ondo and Bendel (now Edo and Delta States) provided as follows.
"When making an order with regard to paternal rights over a child, the court-
Shall at the same time make an order with regard to the custody and upbringing of such child and in the making of such order the interest and welfare of the child shall be the first and permanent consideration".
Similarly, under the Customary Courts law 1984 of defunct Bendel State (as applicable to Edo State) in any matter relating to the guardianship of children, the interest and welfare of the child shall be the first and paramount consideration. The primacy of the 'best interest and welfare' principle in custody of children contestation has become the prevailing general legal road map that customary court in Nigeria adopt in the determination of this prime issue. This is also true of statutory marriages conducted under the Nigeria Marriage Act by the various High Courts where jurisdiction is reposed. Therefore it is submitted, that the same meaning is attached here.
ALSO READ Relevant Laws on Terrorism Prevention in Nigerian
Best interest and welfare of a child.
What is the best interest and welfare of a child? There exist a plethora of judicial decision upholding this principle and defining the best interest and welfare of a child. In the case of Buwanhot v. Buwanhot54the Nigerian Court of Appeal held that the welfare of the children of the marriage, in terms of their peace of mind, happiness, education and co-existence is the prime consideration in granting custody. Also in the regard, Belgore JSC in the case of Odogwu v Odogwu stated that.
Welfare of a child is not the material provisions in the house – good clothes, food, air-conditioners, television, all gadgets normally associated with middle class, it is more of the happiness of the child and his psychological development….. While it is good for a child to be brought up by the complimentary care of the two parties living together. It is psychologically detrimental to his welfare and ultimate happiness and psychological development if the maternal care available is denied him
Similarly, in the case of Udusote v Udusote the court defined interests of the children to include their welfare, education, security and overall wellbeing and development.
It is apposite here to underscore the following points in relation to the issue of custody. Firstly, although the best interest of the child is the first and paramount consideration, it is certainly not the only consideration.In the case of Obajimi v Obajimi the Nigerian Court of Appeal, held interalia that although the welfare of the minor is the first and paramount consideration, it is not the sole consideration. The conduct of the parties is a matter to also be taken into account. In other words, according to the court, before making an order for custody, the trial court must take into consideration, the interest and welfare of the children as well as the conduct of the father and the mother and their respective resources, comportment and total biodata. Secondly,although there is no rule of law which says that a female child or a child of tender age should remain in the custody of the mother when the marriage is dissolved, however, it cannot also be seriously disputed that children who are female and in their growing or formative years are better cared for and looked after by their mother, except the contrary is shown by credible evidence. It is generally presumed that such children would be happier and more at peace because of the closeness and intimacy which breed affection and familiarity with the mother who most of the time was there for them.
Therefore, the court in the case of Udusote v Udusote has held that unless it is abundantly clear that the mother suffers from moral conduct, infections disease, insanity, lack of reasonable means or is cruel to the children etc, children of tender age, male or female are ordinarily better off in terms of welfare and upbringing with their mother. Of course, there may be exceptions where the father may be better off than some mothers in the upbringing of the children. There is always however, that rebuttable presumption in favour of the mother in the consideration of broken down marriages.
Thirdly, custody of children is not a once and for all thing. Under the Customary Courts Law 1984 of defunct Bendel State as applicable to Edo State,
ALSO READ NWLR This Week: On the Exclusive Jurisdiction of the Federal High Court Over Matters on Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.
Whenever it shall appear to a customary court that an order made by such court shall in the interest of a child be reviewed, the court may of itsownmotion or upon the application of any interested person vary or discharge such order.
This is clearly because of the significance of the welfare of children and recognition of the fluidity of circumstances that may influence this consideration. In Obajimi v Obajimi (Ikyegh JSA in respect of this stated that:
Custody of children is an on-going exercise akin to recurrent decimal. It is a day to day or revolving affair. Whenever any of the spouses discovers conditions have changed or altered for the worse in respect of the interest, benefit and welfare of the children or child in the custody of another person or spouse, he or she can apply to the court to review the custody order. The court upon hearing the parties would reach a decision in the best interest of the child or children as the case may be.
It is imperative to underscore the point that although the above cases cited in relation to the issue of maintenance of children were decided in relation to statutory marriages, it is submitted that the principles distilled from them are also germane and holdtrue in respect of customary marriages, particularly in the interpretation of similar provisions contain in the Customary Courts rules of states where they have been created.
Maintenance/Alimony
(a)Children
Maintenance, sometimes also referred to as Child's support in some jurisdictions such as the USA, is defined by Black's law dictionary as, ''financial support given by one person to another, usually paid as a result of a legal separation or divorce.'' A more comprehensive definition is contained in Wikipedia. Here it is defined as:
An on-going periodic payment made by a parent for the financial benefit of a child (or parent, caregiver, guardian, or state) following the end of a marriage or other relationships. Child maintenance is paid directly or indirectly by an obligor to an obligee for the care and support of children of a relationship that has been terminated or in some cases never existed. Often the obligor is a non-custodial parent. The obligee is typically a custodial parent, a guardian or the state.
Generally, under the Nigerian customary law, like the English common lawthere is an obligation on the part of a husband to provide materially for or maintain members of his household. The duty subsists even where the marriage is dissolved. This usually forms the legal basis of a claim for maintenance of the children as an ancillary relief to a claim for custody. Consequently, a claim for this relief is usually made by a woman together with a request for custody. Generally, a decision on whether or not to grant this relief and the amount to stipulate is premised on some factors which the court must take into consideration in deciding a question of whether or not to grant an order of maintenance and the amount to award. These factors include the following:
(a) The respective means of the parties
(b) Their stations in life and their life styles
(c) The conduct of the parties.
(b) Wife
As has been stated above, under customary law a duty to maintain a wife is imposed on a husband. There is however no clear practice of the payment to a wife of post-divorce maintenance under customary law otherwise called alimony. According to Brown Umukoro Esq, though customary law is limited in its application and applies to only those who are subject to it, there appears to be no record of any particular traditional African society where the practice of wife maintenance after divorce is widely recognised under customary law. The idea of maintenance of an ex-wife is indeed seen as in direct conflict with African custom. Even in consideration of the provisions of section 70 of the Matrimonial Causes Act which provides for maintenance in statutory marriages, Nigerian Judges have often been reluctant to grant alimony.In the case of Akinsemoyin v Akinsemoyin, Thompson J made the following observation:
ALSO READ Private Sector & Corruption Menace - Ezieme Iheoma
''….the history of maintenance in England is different from the history here.We have merely inherited a statutory provision based on the custom of the people of England,which are not only unknown in this country but is in contradiction to our own….''
This decision was recently followed by the Etsako West Area Customary Court,Auchi Edo state in the case of Elugbe v.Elugbe presided over by Bright E.OnihaEsq.The court in that case refused to grant post-divorce maintenance sought by the respondent/cross petitioner for the above reasons. Similarly,in the case of Okafor v.Okafor, Oputa J (as he then was) once again exposed a judicial reluctance to award wife maintenance and therefore held as follows:
Since it is the trend under the Matrimonial Causes Decree to facilitate the dissolution of marriages, a wife/petitioner eager to have all links with her husband broken should not keep alive any financial link with a man she no longer owes any marital obligation including the obligation to maintain. Why should there not be a complete dissolution including the dissolution of all erstwhile financial bounds or obligations.
This paper has critically examined customary marriages from the perspective of dissolution, the ancillary thorny issue of custody of children (if any) between the separating/separated couples and maintenance. From the above discourse, we have seen that the legal principles governing dissolution customary marriages and custody of children under customary law and under statutory marriages conducted under the Act are significantly similar and well developed. Where differences exist, there have been statutory interventions. These statutory interventions are, for instance, evident in the provisions of the Marriage, Divorce, and Custody of Children Adoptive Bye laws 1958 and the Customary Courts Laws of the many states in Nigeria where customary courts exist. As a resultof this, customary marriages and customary courts conferred with unlimited jurisdictions over matrimonial causes and matters have become increasingly popular and protective of women and children's rights. At the same time, unlike in the past, the principles guiding these aspects of customary marriages examined in this paper have become well defined and equitable. This has effectively laid to rest the bias of superiority of statutory marriages over customary marriages generally and in the area of divorce and custody of children in particular.

On Thursday 13 July, Twitter took users on a guided tour of the Great Barrier Reef, broadcasting the World Heritage listed natural wonder life on video streaming platform Periscope. In two separate broadcasts, Twitter users were able to tune into the reef live and learn about how they can help to protect it.
Travel broadcaster Mitch Oates joined marine advocates and experts as part of the video streaming which included an interview with Andy Ridley, CEO of Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef while on a boat out on the reef.
The first broadcast from 12.30pm AEST focused on the work of Ridley, former founder and CEO of Earth hour. Establishing Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, Ridley's social movement has united people from around the world to fight the stresses on the planet's biodiversity, specifically learning about and caring for the Great Barrier Reef. Oates interviews Ridley about how the stunning natural site can be cared for for future generations.
The second broadcast from 2pm AEST was a live reef dive, with Oates taking his diving mask and GoPro underwater to broadcast the reef to the world. Using a specialised scuba mask he was able to answer users questions about the reef while diving through the unique coral ecosystem.
The Great Barrier Reef Periscope Adventure was supported by Tourism and Events Queensland. CEO Leanne Coddington said "the Great Barrier Reef is a living treasure which is ours to protect and share with visitors from around the world. It is our most valuable tourism asset with around two million visitors experiencing it every year."
"The Periscope Adventure will showcase the underwater wonder and allow people to engage with the Reef in an entirely new way, thanks to technology" she said.
According to Twitter, there is already a strong community of reef activities and marine biologists active on the platform, making it an ideal place to promote awareness of the reef's health.
Twitter Australia Head Suzy Nicoletti said "Twitter, like no other platform, has an incredible way of breaking down barriers to participation, and of creating connections between people and places. For this project, the Periscope broadcast becomes a literal underwater periscope, to connect our audience to a truly exotic place."
"The Great Barrier Reef Adventure is just one small way to raise awareness of the reef around the world and inspire everyone, no matter where they are, to preserve this site for future generations to enjoy" she said.


Replacing the battery is one way of prolonging phone's battery lifespan.
1. The lifespan of a battery may get shortened over tie pending how much often it has been recharged.
The battery life is related to the number of times recharged.
Battery life is generally shortened to 80% of its initial value after 300–500 times recharged.
Lithium secondary batteries mostly used in electronic products such as phones and notebook PCs have fast increasing internal resistance and may cause slowing down of chemical reaction and recharging after 300 times recharged.
It is better to change the battery when its lifespan has been shortened due to numerous times recharged.
In the same way a primary battery or 1.5 volt battery should be disposed of in an environmentally sound certified compound after it has been used once, the lithium ion battery also has a lifespan after which it must be replaced with a new one.
2. The performance of a battery may deteriorate due to natural discharging after being idling for a long period of time.
If a battery idles at a voltage lower than a specific level, it will slowly lose its charge until it is completely discharged.
Recharge the battery first before letting it idle for a long period of time.
An idling battery must be recharged at least every three months.
It is recommended to store a battery at 10~30 degrees Celsius.


Having dated married men in Ireland, I have realized that it is very easy for them to cheat on their wives and fortunately get away with it. Ireland is a place whereby you can live next door to your husband's girlfriend and not know it. In Africa, you would definitely know your neighbours well. Ladies, what I'm saying here is that you need to be alert. I'm going to help you catch that cheating husband.
Let's start with security guards. Obviously these people are notorious for not sleeping at home once they get a girlfriend, especially those who do night duty. If he is cheating on you, he will tell you that he's doing overtime. Now ladies to make sure that he's not lying you should demand to see his pay slip which should reflect more money and overtime. If he becomes aggressive and refuses with his pay slip then you know that you have him in a tight corner. Remember ladies I'm talking from experience.
Those who are not security guards will start dressing with care and watch out if he wears new underwear! All of sudden your man should not complain about wearing underwear from Pennys and starts wearing Calvin Klein! from Annots. Moreover he should not start wearing expensive perfume, unless if you suggest it. All these are signs of a man trying to impress his girlfriend. As for perfume, once you suspect that your man is cheating on you, you should start hugging him closely and smell him and his clothes for any unfamiliar perfume.
Ladies, some of these guys are so ridiculous to a point that they will remove the child car seat and toys from the back seat and throw them in the boot. Ask yourself why your man should suddenly require more space in his car by hiding the child's car seat and toys.
We all know that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If your man suddenly loses his appetite and starts eating very little of his food, watch out. His girlfriend is cooking for him, and let's hope, in this case, that you cook better than her. Otherwise things can get bad if your husband prefers to eat his girlfriend's food than yours.
Now let's talk about the mobile phone. Check it all the time – behind his back of course! Do it while he is sleeping. I know you might think I am crazy, but if you don't check his mobile, who will do it for you? Besides, an honest man will not be bothered if you check his phone. If your man develops dodgy habits like whispering when answering his phone and hanging up quickly, then it's strange because our African men are loud and this should be a shock to you.
Still on the mobile phone. If he deletes all incoming and outgoing calls and takes the mobile to the toilet then he is obviously expecting a call from you rival.
Last but not the least ladies, a cheating husband might start showing an interest in trying new styles in bed. Ask yourself why the sudden interest and where is he getting these ideas from. Sometimes the opposite happens; your man might squeeze you less and always complain of being tired. I tell you from experience, I'm yet to see an African man avoiding bedroom matters by claiming that he is tired! Our African men never get tired of this in-door activity unless, of course, he is getting it from outside.
Ok, now you have discovered that your man is cheating on you, what are you going to do about it? Maybe you should confront him or you let sleeping dogs lie? If you keep quiet then you must have a very good reason. Or better still start imposing restrictions on his movements. Guys, I know you are fuming at this stage, but there is absolutely no justification for cheating on your wife!

The attractive all green textured base is rich and appealing while the broad panels run all through to promise the best support and coverage through cushiony cups. The high quality fabric used fused with the smooth interior lining makes this design a very comfortable and convenient one.


This past Valentine's Day, 17 people were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. But don't panic! Now is not the time for politics!
Shame on us for wanting change. We need to "respect the families involved" by not doing anything about it. We need to "think". Right now we need to step back, "take a breath and collect the facts," says Paul Ryan, a member of the GOP party. That was his response when asked what changes he would implement regarding gun control, and how the government will ensure that a tragedy like this will never happen again. We send our "thoughts and prayers".
We can approach this problem in many different ways, whether it be banning production of assault rifle bullets banning the production of assault rifles all together, or even something as simple as installing metal detectors in schools. But stepping back and waiting for the angry mob to die down is a deceptive path. Members of the GOP are trying to distract the public by taking advantage of religion and tapping into the public's "soft side". They are also blaming the problem on mental health, effectively labelling the issue as a lost cause.
Mr. Ryan is not the only politician indifferent to the death of schoolchildren. Marco Rubio, another politician from the GOP party, is also against negotiating a solution. He often takes to Twitter in attempts to sway the public to his side.
Recently, he shared an article from New York Times saying that we are "too quick to reject the other's views". He commented that we should "believe deeply [in] an issue yet hear out [the] other side". Although he never explicitly states which political view we should "hear out", a quick look at his surrounding tweets reveals the context. Rubio is hinting and nudging the public to concede to his point of view on gun control. A tweet from February 19th, 2018: "Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your own people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. Lv 18:19." We wouldn't disagree with God, would we? Real change needs to be implemented, not "thoughts and prayers".
Avoiding gun control, many Republicans use the phrase: "Guns don't kill people. People kill people". This references the popular (yet fictitious) belief that mental health problems are the motive for murder. They're just crazy. They can't help it, and neither can we. They will kill no matter what.
It was October 1, 2017 when shooter Stephen Paddock fired over 1,000 bullets into a crowd of party goers on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Overlooking the Route 91 Harvest music festival from his complimentary suite in the Mandalay Bay hotel, he killed 58 and injured over 851 people. He was a "high-stakes gambler" and a heavy drinker, but not mentally ill. Paddock checked in on September 25th. During his 6 days at the hotel, Paddock reportedly spoke to Mandalay Bay employees over ten times. The spokesperson for MGM Resorts International disclosed that every single interaction was "normal in nature".
This isn't a one-off. In the book "Gun Violence and Mental Illness" published by the American Psychiatric Association in 2016, the authors claim that "[mass] shootings by people with serious mental illness represent less than 1% of all yearly gun-related homicides." They also report that a mere 3% of all violent crimes are committed by people with serious mental illnesses.
Yet Republican politicians are still using mental health as an excuse to sidestep gun control and fend off the "angry progressives". These people are crazy. We can't do anything about it. "Mental health is often a big problem underlying these tragedies," says House Speaker Paul Ryan, referring to the Florida shooting. So the solution is to give up? Throw our arms in the air and say "whelp!"?
This epidemic can only stop through real change, not shushing the crowd. No longer can we give up on trying because of the "mentally ill". Install metal detectors. Improve security.
Condolences do not stop bullets.

Home › What Is A Degree?
According to Wikipedia, an academic degree is a college or university diploma, often associated with a title and sometimes associated with an academic position. This reward is usually in recognition of a student who successfully completed a course of study.
The most common degrees awarded today are Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees. Most higher education institutions generally offer certificates and several programs leading to advanced studies.
Certificates and Diplomas: Programs usually last 1 or 2 years – if you study full-time. A certificate or diploma is not a degree. It does not meet the course or credit requirements of a degree. Still, there are many types of certificate programs particular to specific areas, some of which institutes design to supplement a degree. It just depends on the type of certificate, its scope and purpose. Many colleges also offer accredited programs that bear credits to a degree. Upon graduation, students may choose to continue their education and earning their bachelor's degree during the next two years.
Bachelor's Degree: Taken full-time, most bachelor's degree programs take four years to complete. Some programs (such as engineering) may take five to six years.
Master's Degree: The next step after a bachelor's degree is a master's degree in a specific academic discipline. Programs normally last 18 months to 2 years – although some institutes offer a combined bachelors- and master's-degree programs over five years. Increasingly, adults are earning their master's degrees via distance learning, particularly in business (MBA), psychology, religion, and education.
Doctoral Degree: The top of the educational ladder is the Ph.D or doctorate. The period tends to be flexible, because most doctoral candidates are working adults. Programs generally require a major research thesis that may take several years to complete.
Continuing education programmes: These individual courses are typically for working adults. Classes may last only one night, or continue over several weeks. These classes do not lead to a degree or certificate. They are for enjoyment, to acquire specific knowledge, or to help the student advance in the workplace. Sometimes, credits from continuing education courses can count towards a degree, if the institution is accredited.
You might wonder about the differences between a degree and a diploma. Here is some of the things that you should consider. Although it might not be correct – this is what society perceive the qualifications to be.


I prefer using Norton Antivirus for my virus scanner but there are instances where the installation fails or the software becomes damaged later on. You'll then need to uninstall it before you can re-install it. Another reason to remove Norton could be the subscription for it expired and you don't want to buy the latest version for another year of virus definition updates.
The problem here is that if you try uninstalling Norton, not everything gets removed. I've seen services that are left behind that communicate with the Symantec web site. There have been many complaints from former software users about their failed attempts to remove the virus scanner.
A guaranteed way to remove Norton is to reinstall your operating system, but this is a job which could easily take a day to install Windows and all of your applications.
Dave Taylor posted How can I fully remove Norton Antivirus from my system? on his blog. While this is an effective solution, its not meant for inexperienced computer users. The first part of the solution is simple: Norton is uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. The second part involved is making changes in the registry with Regedit. This is where novices will become confused.
An easier solution is to use the Norton Removal Tool from Symantec. This will remove all Norton products from the 2003 to 2007 versions. If the removal tool doesn't succeed, you'll have to use Dave Taylor's solution to uninstall Norton Antivirus.
The complex process involved in uninstalling Norton Antivirus shouldn't be necessary. Symantec should include the software to completely remove the antivirus software and all of the services that get installed with it. What they have succeeded in doing is frustrating and alienating many users who probably won't use other Symantec products after this.
Applications should be easy to install, use, and uninstall. The time spent in producing quality software will retain your customers who will also refer it to their colleagues. Symantec has good products but they need to put their customers first when developing software for them.

2017 Detroit Lions season preview: 3 newcomers, story lines to watch
Dave Birkett
Free Press sports writer Dave Birkett highlights three newcomers and three story lines to watch for the Detroit Lions on offense this season:
Newcomers to watch
The buzz:The Lions traded a 2018 sixth-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for Robinson, less than two weeks after Taylor Decker tore the labrum in his right shoulder in a June practice. Decker is expected to miss at least the first half of the season, leaving Robinson as the Lions' presumptive starter at left tackle. Robinson struggled with expectations as the second overall pick of the 2014 draft, but he looked serviceable this preseason for the Lions. Of course, playing a few solid series in an exhibition game is nothing like doing it consistently over 70 snaps in the regular season.
RG T.J. Lang
The buzz: The Lions overhauled the right side of their offensive line in free agency months before Decker's injury. They signed one of the best pass-protecting right tackles in the game in Rick Wagner, and brought Michigan native Lang home after eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Lang is coming off his first Pro Bowl selection, but he also turns 30 in a few weeks and still is making his way back from January hip surgery. For the sake of Matthew Stafford and the running game, the Lions need a healthy and effective Lang this fall.
WR Kenny Golladay
The buzz:The buzz around Golladay has quieted since he caught two touchdown passes against the Indianapolis Colts in the exhibition opener – a few days after Chad Johnson lauded him on Twitter. Still, the Lions' third-round pick should play a regular role on offense this fall, either as the team's third or fourth receiver. At 6 feet 4 and 213 pounds, Golladay has a unique blend of size and speed that should make him a factor both down the field and in the red zone.
Story lines to watch
Can Matthew Stafford carry the Lions to the playoffs again?
The buzz: Stafford earned the richest contract in NFL history in part because he hoisted the Lions on his shoulders and carried them to the playoffs last season. Stafford engineered an NFL record eight game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime in 2016, and he was one of the NFL's most efficient quarterbacks before suffering a late-season finger injury. With a host of defensive issues and a big question on the offensive line, the Lions might need Stafford to repeat his magic this fall if they're going to make the playoffs. Don't count on as many late-game heroics, but Stafford is capable of having a better season overall.
How effective will the Lions be running the football?
The buzz:Here's a remarkable stat for you: The Lions have not finished in the top half of the NFL in rushing since Barry Sanders' final season in Detroit in 1998. They didn't become a power rushing team this off-season, but the Lions do have designs on being more efficient and productive running the football. Ameer Abdullah (foot) and Theo Riddick (wrist) are healthy after finishing last season on injured reserve, and Dwayne Washington seems to have made strides in his second pro season. Running backs coach David Walker said it's more important to average 4.2 yards per carry than it is 100 yards per game, but if Abdullah stays healthy all year, both marks are attainable.
More: Lions' playoff fate could hinge on Ameer Abdullah
Is this Eric Ebron's last season in Detroit?
The buzz:The Lions picked up the option year on Ebron's rookie contract in May, but at the non-guaranteed price of $8.25 million, it's no lock that he'll see that in 2018. Ebron barely practiced this summer after suffering a hamstring injury in the first practice of training camp, and he has a frustrating injury history in his first three NFL seasons. The 10th pick of the 2014 draft, Ebron has made improvements every year on the field. But if he doesn't at least approximate last year's numbers (61 catches, 711 yards), the Lions may make a business decision and decide he's not worth the money.

Q: Layout Changes When I Run App On My Phone On my graphical layout in Eclipse, the EditView, TextView, and button are where I want them to be. But when I run them on my phone, they are moved to a different location. Can someone help me keep them where I want them to be?
Here's my code:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/backgroundhdpi" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/bill"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
            android:ems="10"
            android:inputType="phone"
            android:text="Enter Your Bill"
            android:textSize="18dip" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/calculateTip"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/bill"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="40dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
            android:text="Calculate" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tipOwed"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_above="@+id/bill"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:layout_marginBottom="123dp"
            android:scrollHorizontally="false"
            android:text="Time to Tip!"
            android:textColor="#2c6f37"
            android:textSize="35dip"
            android:textStyle="bold" />

    </RelativeLayout>

A: If I may ask, what type/unit of phone do you try to run your code? The layout of the program on a user's view of point is, at times, dependent to the screen of the phone they are using.
Example:
You run the app with an Galaxy S2 emulator, and you try to run it in a Galaxy Y. With the  difference of the screen resolution of the two, you could notice the difference between the space that the layout could occupy.
Also, are you placing the images that are being used in your layout in a single drawable folder? Like for example, drawable-hdpi?
Placing images that will be later on used by your layout in different drawable folders could affect directly the size or resolution of the image.

Der älteste Mensch, dessen Alter wissenschaftlich verifiziert wurde, ist die Französin Jeanne Calment, die im Alter von 122 Jahren und 164 Tagen starb. Als ältester lebender Mensch gilt die Spanierin María Branyas Morera, geboren in den Vereinigten Staaten am 4. März 1907 und heute damit  alt. Der älteste Mensch aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern ist die in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte Augusta Holtz, die im Alter von 115 Jahren und 79 Tagen starb. Ältester bekannter lebender Mensch aus den deutschsprachigen Ländern ist Charlotte Kretschmann, geboren am 3. Dezember 1909 und heute damit  alt.

Die nachfolgenden Listen entsprechen dem gegenwärtigen Forschungsstand und erheben keinen Anspruch auf abschließende Richtigkeit. Für die nach Geschlecht getrennten Daten siehe Liste der ältesten Frauen und Liste der ältesten Männer.

Farblegende:

Älteste Menschen weltweit
Im internationalen Teil dieser Seite werden nur Menschen aufgeführt, deren Lebensdaten wissenschaftlich nachgewiesen werden konnten und von einer entsprechenden Institution veröffentlicht wurden; eine bloße Erwähnung in Massenmedien ist nicht ausreichend.

Die 100 ältesten Menschen
Über die Platzierung entscheidet zuerst das erreichte Alter in Jahren und Tagen, danach die Anzahl der Lebenstage und zuletzt das frühere Erreichen des Alters.

Anhang
Im Anhang sind jene Personen gelistet, die einst von verschiedenen Institutionen als älteste Menschen mit den benannten Geburtsdaten akzeptiert worden waren, deren Richtigkeit bei späterer Überprüfung jedoch substanziell in Frage gestellt wurde, ohne dass aber ein positiver Nachweis für das tatsächliche Geburtsdatum erbracht werden konnte. Da sie nach den gegenwärtigen Maßstäben der Altersverifizierung keine Anerkennung finden würden, sind sie von den ältesten Menschen mit nachgewiesenem Alter getrennt an dieser Stelle aufgeführt, solange das angebliche Alter für eine Aufnahme in die Liste der 100 ältesten Menschen ausreichend wäre oder bis ein positiver Nachweis für dieses oder ein anderes Geburtsdatum veröffentlicht wird, bzw. die Fälle devalidiert wurden.

Ältester Mensch
Diese Auflistung des ältesten Menschen erfasst Personen ab dem ersten Supercentenarian, die jeweils das höchste nachweislich erreichte Lebensalter hatten, bis ihr Nachfolger älter wurde als sie.

Die 10 ältesten lebenden Menschen
Die folgende Tabelle listet die zehn ältesten lebenden Menschen weltweit auf.

Ältester lebender Mensch
Diese Liste führt jene Personen auf, die zeitlich aufeinanderfolgend – zwischen dem Tod des Vorgängers und dem eigenen Tod – jeweils der älteste lebende Mensch waren.

Älteste Menschen in den deutschsprachigen Ländern
Im Sinne des Interesses der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, neben der internationalen Darstellung auch einen Fokus auf die Statistik innerhalb ihres Sprachgebiets zu bieten, wird den folgenden Auflistungen keine festgelegte Anzahl von Einträgen, sondern das Mindestalter von 110 Lebensjahren zugrundegelegt.

Da wissenschaftliche Verifizierungen in aller Regel erst Jahre nach dem Erreichen dieses Alters vorgenommen werden und da im deutschsprachigen Raum übertriebene Altersbehauptungen heutzutage sehr selten sind, wird im Folgenden auf die Bedingung einer erfolgten Altersvalidierung verzichtet, sofern die Angaben ohne grundsätzliche Zweifel sind. Voller Name und durch nachvollziehbare Quellen veröffentlichtes Geburtsdatum sind gleichwohl notwendig.

Diese Ausnahmeregelung bleibt in den folgenden Listen sichtbar, indem Einträge mit nicht wissenschaftlich verifizierten Lebensdaten keine Ordnungsnummer erhalten; bei Verstorbenen sind sie zudem gelb hinterlegt.

Älteste Deutsche
Im Folgenden sind die ältesten Personen Deutschlands und seiner Vorgängerstaaten einschließlich Emigranten und Immigranten aufgeführt, die mindestens 110 Jahre alt wurden (Supercentenarians).

Mehrere nach Deutschland eingewanderte Personen haben angeblich ein Alter von mindestens 110 Jahren erreicht, ohne dass dieses aber verifiziert werden konnte. Diese Personen wurden nicht in die Liste aufgenommen, da sie nicht auf den Anwärterlisten der GRG (Gerontology Research Group) erfasst sind und zudem aus Gebieten mit unzuverlässigem oder unzugänglichem Urkundenwesen stammen, wodurch auch kein hinreichendes Vertrauen in die Angaben bestehen kann. Aus dem Gebiet der heutigen Ukraine (damals Teil des Russischen Reiches und Österreich-Ungarns (Galizien)) bzw. Belarus' und Russlands stammen z. B. Jonathan Richter (6. September 1888–12. Oktober 1998; 110 Jahre und 36 Tage; 40.212 Tage), Alwine Werner (10. November 1898–11. Januar 2010; 111 Jahre und 62 Tage; 40.604 Tage), Rosalie Pfeiffer (28. Juli 1899–28. Dezember 2009; 110 Jahre und 153 Tage; 40.330 Tage), Zhenya Broytman (21. August 1899–25. Oktober 2010; 111 Jahre und 65 Tage; 40.607 Tage) und Rivka Yezersky (28. Dezember 1905–8. Januar 2016; 110 Jahre und 11 Tage; 40.188 Tage).

Älteste Österreicher
Im Folgenden sind die ältesten Personen Österreichs einschließlich Emigranten und Immigranten aufgeführt, die mindestens 110 Jahre alt wurden (Supercentenarians); unter diesen hat nur ein Mann dieses Alter erreicht. Dabei sind auch die auf dem Gebiet des Vorgängerstaates Österreich-Ungarn geborenen deutschsprachigen Personen, bzw. diejenigen deutsch-österreichischer Ethnizität eingeschlossen. Angehörige anderer Ethnien bzw. anderer Muttersprachen werden den jeweiligen Nachfolgestaaten (z. B. Polen oder Tschechien) zugeordnet.

Der älteste bekannte in Österreich lebende Mann ist derzeit Franz Wielander (* 21. Januar 1914); er ist  alt und lebt in St. Georgen am Steinfelde, Niederösterreich.

Älteste Schweizer
Im Folgenden sind die ältesten Personen der Schweiz einschließlich Emigranten und Immigranten aufgeführt, die mindestens 110 Jahre alt wurden (Supercentenarians). Der älteste Mann, der in der Schweiz starb, war wahrscheinlich Pierre Gremion (5. März 1902–13. Februar 2012) mit einem Alter von 109 Jahren und 345 Tagen.

"The underargument is for the women and men who prefer to be themselves rather than to conform. It exists for the lovers of individuality, those who see value in differences and progress in alternative ways."
My life experiences have always seemed to take me places where I didn't quite fit in, but yet somehow belonged to.
I often tried to make sense to everyone until I realised how much greatness lies in differences and that maybe not fitting the norm was a blessing in disguise.
I don't care so much about doing what's expected or what's normal but I care about what feels right, what is empathic of others and what can add positive value to our lives.
I believe in cherishing quirks as much as talents because equally great experiences come out of both when fully embraced. That's why I want people to have the confidence to be their genuine selves and "argue against the norm" if necessary.
I have had a serious addiction to lingerie since long before I could even wear any (I blame the French in me).
I created the underargument - playing with the word undergarment to create "wearable mindsets" and a multifaceted brand that would remind all of us to be ok with who we are, whether it makes sense to others or not.
The underargument is a content platform and an underwear brand. Firstly, because why not. Secondly, because there are multiple ways of getting a message across and where content can feed our thoughts, fashion can express them. In our case, fashion reminds us to accept and literally wear our most misunderstood, common, complex or sometimes shallow mindsets like a second skin. Each piece is labelled with its own mindset (or underargument) to remind us, each time we wear it, to embrace ourselves and our individuality.
The collections I design are heavily inspired by my French heritage and use premium materials sourced mainly in France, Switzerland and Italy. I was keen to make a product that would cross over all of my worlds and therefore the collections are made in Africa and some small runs are also made in London.

When fresh green beans are cooked perfectly, you can taste their fleshiness and sweetness. I like my green beans fried in a tempura-style batter that's light and fluffy. I use my SYD Hot rub to give it a little kick and you can serve it with some Ranch dressing on the side. This dish makes a great snack or appetizer entre. The fluffiness comes from combining cornstarch with flour and adding some baking powder to make the batter crispy. The sugar adds a very slight sweet note to enhance the flavor of the beans. The egg yolk helps to bind the ingredients together and gives the batter an appetizingly nice yellow color.
The secret is to use ice cold water to mix the batter with a fork and don't try to completely dissolve the dry ingredients. Some lumps in the batter result in a more crunchy texture. You can even sit your batter bowl on top a bowl of ice to keep it cold while you're cooking a big batch of crispy green beans.
Use clean vegetable oil and skim the bits of batter from the oil so they don't burn. The amount of ice-cold water you add to the batter will determine how thick the batter will be and how much of it will coat the green beans. Some folks like a very light batter so the green bean are not thickly coated. Some folks like the opposite and like the whole bean completely covered in batter. Try it both ways, thick first, and then thin out the batter with more ice water to see what you like best. As soon as the beans come off the hot oil, be sure to season with more rub while they are still hot.

Dr. Stephanie Ann Houghton
Stephanie Ann Houghton (PhD) is an Associate Professor at Saga University, Japan. She holds a doctorate in education from Durham University, England. She is co-founder and co-editor of the Intercultural Communication and Language Education book series (Springer). Focusing on ways of overcoming prejudice and discrimination, she has published numerous books and international peer-reviewed articles on the development of intercultural dialogue and native-speakerism. Now based in the Faculty of Art and Regional Design, and Graduate School of Regional Design in Art and Economics, her research activities explore links between dance (as non-verbal communication), fitness (as health-oriented social activity) and intercultural communication. Centring on the understanding and prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, her educational curriculum links heritage management, intercultural dialogue, technology (STEAM), art generation, health, fitness and economics (social business). She places a special emphasis upon the preservation and revitalization of unwritten densho geino culture, which is on the brink of extinction in Japan's ageing society, using local mask dance Menburyu as a flagship example. This work is showcased in an exhibition entitled 'Menburyu: Past, Present and Future' held at Saga University Art Museum (SUAM) (December 2018), and the Sakagura sake festival (Kuretake Brewery) in Kashima, Saga (March 23-24 2019).

Dr. Kensaku Yoshida
My main area of research has been in the development of Japan's foreign language education policy. I have been involved heavily in the development of the Course of Study as well as in the changes to be implemented in college entrance examinations. In terms of the former, we have changed the basic structure of the Course of Study so that the main focus is now more clearly stated as being in the development of communicative ability--modeled on the so-called CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) Can-Do statements. The goal for junior high school graduates is set at A1, and for senior high school graduates at A2 and B1 levels. In order to realize these goals, active learning procedures which emphasize the integrated use of all the language skills are required. However, the revision of English education cannot be realized unless the college entrance examinations are changed from the present one or two skills based tests to proficiency tests based on all four language skills. Although there are still many obstacles of overcome, I think we have taken the first steps in raising the English proficiency level of the Japanese.


Yesterday we had a team of six second year BA Film and Television students from the University of Arts London in the shop. They asked if we could help them with their film project "What's the Buzz", a 10-minute live multi-camera documentary filmed in our shop and their TV studio on campus (London College of Communication). With it, they are hoping to educate people on the different uses of honey and the importance of bees towards the environment and consequently, us. It will feature illustrations and facts about the history of bees & honey as well as the impact they have on our lives and future. They have asked James, our Master Beekeeper to be their on camera host guiding us through the programme and using honey from your our shop to use for different recipes.
We were happy to help and they were very professional on the day. We next do the campus studio filming in June. Once complete we will share their results with you via our video website link via Youtube.

The role of the Lands, Resource and Environment Department (LRE) is to manage the land and resources both on-reserve and within the traditional territory.
The department works with different industry sectors including: forestry, mining, power development and other resource development projects.
The LRE overseas on-reserve land allocations for residential and recreational lots and assists with identifying areas for future development.
Whereas the lands, waters, air, fire, plants, forests, wildlife, fish, minerals and other resources and the Sagamok Anishnawbek peoples were created and placed together in the area that the Sagamok Anishnawbek inhabit and use and the laws were established to ensure a harmonious and mutually beneficial relationship; and
Whereas such is reflected in the Sagamok Anishnawbek understanding of the Robinson-Huron Treaty, 1850; and
Whereas the Sagamok Anishnawbek did not relinquish any of their rights and responsibilities in relation to our lands by entering into the Robinson-Huron Treaty.
Therefore, the Sagamok Anishnawbek Lands, Resources and Environment Unit shall provide coordination, monitoring, planning and support to ensure that Sagamok Anishnawbek interests, rights and responsibilities to G'daa Kiim-non, both on Sagamok reserve lands and off-reserve traditional territories, are upheld in accordance with our traditions, values and with respect to our future generations.
Lands Rights Research Project (LRRP) The LRRP is an initiative involving consultation with experts in the fields of law, history, mapping and traditional ecological knowledge. Utilizing the best of both modern research practices and traditional knowledge we seek to provide better understanding of the legitimacy of Sagamok's role as steward within our traditional territories and the preservation of its historical and cultural legacy.
Land Code Development The LRE and G'daa Kiim-non have developed a proposed Land Code for Sagamok Anishnawbek. The LRE is coordinating and conducting community consultation sessions with the goal of having the proposed Land Code passed as law.
Land Use Plan The LRE are in the early stages of developing a Land Use Plan. This plan will assist with identifying areas for future development for subdivisions, parks and green space as well as commercial and industrial sites.
LAND STEWARDSHIP & OUTREACH
Fish Stocking Program The LRE has a micro-hatchery and have been collecting and cultivating fish eggs for the purpose of stocking inland lakes. The micro-hatchery is a cost effective alternative to the rearing pond that once operated in Sagamok Anishnawbek.
Bat Monitoring Program In 2016 the LRE had erected bat boxes throughout Sagamok Anishnawbek. A monitoring program is currently being developed and will be implemented to determine what bat species are present and provide outreach to the community on the importance this species at risk.
Species At Risk Inventory The LRE will continue to provide the community with outreach on species at risk and have been developing programs to collect data on different species that may be found in Sagamok Anishnawbek. Once a species is confirmed, then applicable protection measures can be put in place.

The LRE monitors the phosphorous levels in LaCloche Lake and conducts various water sampling projects in the territory.
Earth Week Each year this event is held in May to promote land stewardship to the community and offer different outreach programs. An annual roadside garbage clean-up is organized during Earth Week.
Fall Harvest Gathering The LRE organizes and implements this annual event. This event is located approximately 7km from Ritchie Falls Resort. The purpose of Fall Harvest is to enhance community knowledge and implement culturally significant activities. Some of these activities include hunting and the gathering of plants for both food and medicine.

Windows & Caprets - Done in One Day!
Welcome to Denver Carpet Cleaning! We have been in the carpet cleaning and window cleaning business for close to 25 years. We created this site to answer common questions and concerns about carpet cleaning in general and provide advice on hiring a Denver carpet cleaning company. We hope you find it useful!
1. What is the best way to care for my carpet?
Vacuum often! You can never do it enough! Also, keep shoes off the carpet and rugs and get your carpets steam cleaned at least once a year.
2. What is the best way to clean carpet?
Truck-mounted, steam carpet cleaning leads to deeper extraction of dirt. It is hands down the best method for cleaning – and therefore prolonging – the life of your carpet.
3. What needs to be considered when hiring a carpet cleaning company in Denver?
You are going to have this person in your home of office, so make sure they are licensed and insured!
4. How can a homeowner know they are choosing a reputable Denver carpet cleaner?
Do your research! See how long they've been around. Check BBB, Angies List and Yelp for reviews.
5. How long can I expect the carpets to take to dry after they are cleaned?
It depends on the time of year. In Colorado, 4 – 6 hours in the summer is generally enough. In the winter, you should allow for 6 – 8 hours.
6. If I pay to have my carpets cleaned professionally, is it safe to use a grocery store product to treat spots?
No! The PH levels are way too high in those solutions. You need something much more neutral. Ask the carpet cleaning company for a bottle of solution after they finish in your home.
7. Does Scotchguard/Teflon Coating really work to protect the carpets?
Yes! It keeps a barrier on top so that spills and dirt don't get grounded into the fibers.
8. My family suffers from allergies. Can carpet cleaning help?
Yes! Cleaning your carpets will help alleviate allergy suffering by removing dust mites, pet dander and pollen.
9. What should I do about a pet stain in the carpet?
You should quickly apply a pro spotter, something that's a good neutralizer that won't set the stain in. Blot the stain, but don't scrub. If you absolutely have to, use mild dish soap and water. You do not want to use many of the non-professional carpet cleaners available. They are too strong and will dye or bleach the carpet.


This bibliography contains a selection of papers, volumes, and other resources that address the teaching of critical thinking. There is evidence that the skills, strategies, and dispositions inherent in critical thinking can be learned, and debate about whether it is a general skill that transfers across content or if practices are bound to content areas. Teaching critical thinking and critical thinking itself are entwined, and an understanding of teaching it requires an understanding of what it is. Critical thinking can be conceptualized as a process that involves intentional, goal-focused thinking (see the Oxford Bibliographies article Critical Thinking), and as a disposition of flexible, open-minded, persistent people who are willing to engage in disciplined complex problem-solving. Critical thinking plays a role in systematic inquiry in any field. This guide includes the following sections: General Overviews, Bibliographies and Literature Reviews, Hierarchical Understanding of Critical Thinking, Defining Critical Thinking, Critical Thinking Debates, Critical Thinking for Social Justice and Democracy, Teacher Dispositions for Critical Thinking, Teacher Education and Development, Teaching Critical Thinking as a Developmental Process, Textbooks for Critical Thinking, Discipline-Specific Resources, Assessing Critical Thinking, and Critical Thinking Tests.
The works in this section all offer general overviews for those studying the teaching of critical thinking across age spans and contexts. It is an attempt to locate a broad range of perspectives on teaching, and includes the work of some of the most notable researchers on the topic. Some of these resources provide broad and deep overviews. The Critical Thinking Community, for example, has an organized website with links to many resources within the topic of critical thinking. Langer 2012 focuses on research in critical thinking curriculum design. Hooks 2010 is a collection of the author's essays on the teaching of critical thinking that offers a comprehensive look at teaching for critical thinking through a curriculum that honors contextuality. Weil and Anderson 2000 offers a collection of essays written by teachers. Kuhn 1999 presents critical thinking as a developmental process. Herrick 2014 uses the methods and ideas of Socrates as a model that links the roots and history of critical thinking to its current applications. Kurfiss 1988 provides a thorough review of the research into critical thinking that is foundational to research currently being done. Because critical thinking is not the only kind of thinking, Moseley, et al. 2005 discusses a variety of thinking frameworks that situate critical thinking in its place among other kinds of thinking that are relevant for teaching and learning.
Maintained by the Center and Foundation for Critical Thinking. Offers guides, books, videos, and other resources. There are menus offered as starting points for various teaching contexts, including college and university faculty, high school teachers, middle level teachers, elementary teachers, science and engineering instructors, and nursing and health-care education. This website would be invaluable to anyone conducting research on critical thinking.
Herrick, Paul. 2014. Think with Socrates: An introduction to critical thinking. Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press.
Sets contemporary critical thinking into a historical context in a way that provides a foundation for current, real-world critical thinking.
hooks, bell. 2010. Teaching critical thinking: Practical wisdom. New York: Routledge.
Contains a set of short, accessible, and enlightening essays that demonstrate the transformative power of critical thinking through the complex balance of democracy, social change, and the lenses of various stereotypes, including race, gender, and status. Describes real teaching issues that arose through the author's personal experiences and attempts to show how critical thought develops through trusting classroom communities where students discuss controversial and sensitive issues.
Kuhn, Deanna. 1999. A developmental model of critical thinking. Educational Researcher 28.2: 16–25, 46.
Advocates conceptualizing critical thinking in a developmental framework based on a synthesis of research on the intellectual development of children and adolescents, and identifies metacognitive processes that make critical thinking possible.
Kurfiss, Joanne Gainen. 1988. Critical thinking: Theory, research, practice, and possibilities ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Report 2. Washington, DC: Association for the Study of Higher Education.
Discusses the development of critical thinking, and advocates for critical thinking as an integral part of higher education curriculum. Includes suggestions for further research—suggestions that remain relevant. Contains about three hundred references to pre-1988 foundational research and other resources.
Langer, Judith. 2012. The interplay of creative and critical thinking in instruction. In Design research on learning and thinking in educational settings: Enhancing intellectual growth and functioning. Edited by David Yun Dai. New York: Routledge.
Situated in a book on design as the foundation for curriculum, this chapter focuses on the role that critical thinking has in the growth of intelligence.
Moseley, David, Vivienne Baumfield, Julian Elliot, et al. 2005. Frameworks for thinking: A handbook for teaching and learning. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge Univ. Press.
Handbook providing descriptions and evaluations of frameworks for thinking, including Bloom's taxonomy, de Bono's thinking tools, Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and Paul's model of critical thinking. Situates critical thinking within the larger construct of cognition. Of particular value is the chapter on Richard Paul's model of critical thinking.
Paul, Richard W. 1993. Critical thinking: What every person needs to survive in a rapidly changing world. Rev. 3d ed. Edited by Jane Willsen and A. J. A. Binker. Santa Rosa, CA: Foundation for Critical Thinking.
