"GOTV" is a political abbreviation for "get out the vote." "GOTV" has been cited in print from at least 1981.
A "GOTV" campaign is usually not to get everyone to vote—just those likely to vote for a particular candidate, party or issue.
"Get out the vote" (or "getting out the vote"; GOTV) are terms used to describe two categories of political activity, both aimed at increasing the number of votes cast in one or more elections.
In non-partisan contexts, "Get out the vote" is a slogan (and "get out the vote" is a generic grammatical predicate) used by non-partisan organizations, such as the League of Women Voters, Rock the Vote, Long Distance Voter, and GoVoteAbsentee, motivated by the belief that failure of any eligible voter to vote in any election entails a loss to society.
Usually, GOTV is distinguishable from earlier activities necessary to carrying it out. That is, GOTV includes telephoning known supporters on the days leading up to an election (or on election day itself) or providing transport to and from polling stations for supporters, whereas canvassing and the process of identifying supporters usually takes place earlier in a campaign.
Other GOTV activities include literature drops early on election day or the evening before and an active tracking of eligible voters who have already voted.
The importance of get out the vote efforts increases as the total percentage of the population voting decreases. For instance, with only two-thirds of the population voting in a Canadian election it is often far easier and more cost effective to ensure that a hundred supporters show up on polling day than it is to convince a hundred voters to switch support from one party to the other. This has also tended to polarize electoral politics. A 90% turnout from a party's radical base is often better than a 50 percent turnout from both radical and moderate supporters.
GOTV can also be extremely important in high turn-out elections when they are extremely close.
Acronym, Get Out The Vote.
Contrary to popular belief and sometimes energetic rhetoric, the purpose of a voter registration/get-out-the vote (GOTV) campaign is not to sign up everyone eligible to vote.
Reagan is assailed by the postal union's various campaign units --the VIP (Voices in Politics), the GOTV (get-out-the-vote), and the Women's Vote Project.
In political shorthand, it's GOTV: Get Out The Vote.
All of those called upon for remarks sounded the familiar "GOTV" theme (Get Out The Vote).


Ramadaan is starting in either 1-2 days, depending on the sighting of the new moon. I am completely beyond excited! I can already feel the change in atmosphere. I feel calm, and ready for this beautiful spiritual month.
For my non Muslim readers, Ramadan is a month in which it is compulsory for all Muslims who has reached puberty to fast. We fast from the break of dawn, to sunset.
Not only is this month ascribed to us to abstain from food or drink, but rather to abstain from all unlawful acts. It is a month in which you train yourself to abstain from wrongful/unlawful/forbidden acts – a month of pure spiritual upliftment. It is also the month is which The Holy Qur'an (the book of Allah) was revealed to our beloved Prophet. The Qur'an has been left as a guidance for those who believe. I don't talk about myself at all, because I am a very private person… you guys don't know this, but I have studied the Qur'an since a very young age. It has honestly been such a blessing in my life and in all that I do. It has and still continues to be a great source of nur (light) in my life, الحمدالله.
I wanted to share something quite special with you guys, which you can print out. If you're like me, and you enjoy planners and to-do-lists, you will thoroughly enjoy this little 'Ramadaan Planner'. If you enjoy scrapbooking as I do (well, occasionally) you could personalize this planner and have some fun with it. If you have children, you could even have them decorate the pages to occupy them and make this month exciting for them, too! Perhaps with every day they have completed fasting (whether it is half / full day) they could tick it off, and you could get them something small for every 10 days they complete. In no way should you tell them "if you fast, I will buy you things.." no, I don't think that's a good idea because then they will do it for the wrong reasons. Rather, explain to them that they should do it for Allah, and if they want gifts they should make Duaa at the time of Iftaar, and ask the One Who Loves To Give. Perhaps every 10 days, you get them something small and tell them that it is a blessing from Allah, because it is. Even if we buy it ourselves, it is still a blessing from Allah. I'm not a parent so I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids, however I work with kids of all ages, and I find that from a young age, these kids start building a foundation based on what you teach them. So teach them this: sure, A is for apple, but first and foremost, A is for Allah, our Creator. Teach them to love Allah. Teach them about Ramadaan, about Salaah, about our beloved Prophet (SAW). Teach them from a young age, and watch them prosper into amazing, young Muslims, In Shaa Allah (God Willing).
I know you guys all love beauty as much as I do but I just want to say, let's use this Holy Month to focus on our inner beauty, instead of our makeup/outer beauty. Let's focus on the beauty of our hearts, because what is a beautiful face, without a beautiful heart? What's the use of being on "fleek" when your soul is on weak?
So, my lovlies, may Allah grant us not only brows that are on "fleek" , but hearts and manners that will be "fleeky" too, Ameen.
Another blogger, Munira from A Touch Of Starlight blog has some lovely Ramadaan printables on her latest blog post here.
Please remember me and my family in your Duaas, and I hope this planner will be beneficial to you all, In Shaa Allah.
Warm Ramadaan wishes from my family to yours. Please remember all of our brothers and sisters in Gaza, Palestine, Syria, Burma and all over the world in your Duaas In Shaa Allah.
Jazaakumullahu Khairan. Eid Mubaarak to you as well.

Corporate executives scrambled to assess the fallout from the U.K. vote to leave the European Union, with some CEOs saying the move would put a chill on investment and deal-making and others vowing to stay the course.
Shocked by a surprise result at the polls that sent U.S. stocks tumbling and the British pound to a 30-year low against the dollar, companies rushed to reassure investors, customers and employees. At the same time, they called on British and European politicians to push through the mechanics of the split quickly to minimize economic disruption.

Globalization – Unites the World
Globalization – Unites the World "Globalization has enriched the planet beyond belief, leading to ever-increased demands of perfection. And thanks to 24/7 communications, we all instantaneously know when these expectations aren't met" (Hanson, n.d.). Globalization is interacting people worldwide with the help of internet, social media, telephones calls etc. Globalization can be considered in business as well as in casual life as to contact friends who are far away from you for example in other country. Globalization is that the association of various elements of the planet leading to the growth of international cultural, economic, and political activities. it's the movement and integration of products and folks among completely different countries. There are a unit blessings and drawbacks to economic process, all of that have economic, social, political, and cultural impacts. Economic process is however countries area unit coming back along mutually huge international economy, creating international trade easier. Globalization increases inequality in the world, and it create international organized crime in the world, and it makes trade easy as well as it access free movement of labor and increases economic sales. Globalization increases inequality in the world. In many of the counties, globalization increases inequality among people. For example: "When Russia integrated into the globalized markets, there was an increase of 21.8% of people living on or below two dollars per day, whilst a select minority became richer from the same integration" (Simon, 2013). This difference is worsened, since the state will now not maintain its welfare system, nor spread with efficiency, in a very globalized world, thanks to the fight of world finance. The anti-globalization movement claims that international absolute financial gain difference has conjointly greatly hyperbolic thanks to globalization. Pre-globalization there was very little difference due to communism, those with slight benefits, together with government contacts, might cash in of globalization and have become richer, while those that didn't get poorer. This is explained by the fact that economic process involves competitor within the international market, making losers and winners, impoverished and loaded. The competition inherent in globalization results in a scenario that from its terribly nature implies difference. In simplified terms, in keeping with the anti-globalizers, globalization causes a rise in difference at intervals nation states, as a result of the poor lack capital and in an exceedingly globalized world the states square measure unable to distribute, thereby increasing inter-country difference thanks to the inherent competition it implies. Globalization creates international organized crime, global terrorism and worldwide environmental problems. "The proliferation of international tourism in places such as Thailand has led to growing prostitution. The trafficking of women has also become a problem in countries with economic issues, such as Russia or some Asian countries" (Simon, 2013). that globalization has diode to an increase in international union crime; he considers specifically the exploitation of girls across the planet, contention that additional open borders permit girls to figure removed from home as domestic servants. Clearly, of these samples of feminine exploitation by union criminals are a result of increasing interconnections, samples of that embody additional open borders, bigger international business and quicker, cheaper transportation ways. international act of terrorism has additionally developed as a results of globalization; so, monotheism act of terrorism demonstrates a resistance to Western civilization, that is seen as contradictory to Muslim faith and culture The worldwide environmental problems we tend to face are caused by, firstly, increasing technology supporting high pollution growth in developed countries; second, the fast industry of the developing world; and eventually, associate degree exponentially increasing world population. Globalization leads many nations to have fight in between them. Most of the people believe that many mis happening only happens due to globalization only. Globalization did not divide the world; it helps to unites the world. "The advent of communication and transportation technology on the international scene is making huge waves, as it has been for the past 100 years or so" (Seale, 2000). Even the last 10 years have seen an enormous drop in the costs of international communication Globalization is that the meaninglessness of these days as somebody assume it may develop the international web. People will contact various people from their own place that are from different countries. Moreover, web is a lot of necessary things in economic process no matter for personal or society because it will allow us to contact the items within the outside like the international news. economic process let the globe being 'smaller'. even so, most of the interest's area unit brought in by the developed countries. they cannot beware developing countries. As a result of these corporations solely wish to coworker in the profits, so that arises loads of problems thanks to economic process. The positive things simply on the surface of economic process. The economic process will promote completely different cultures everywhere the globe. People can contact other culture in their own place. With the help of internet people can easily access the varieties of cultures that are in different corner of the world. And by this they get knowledge and have one importance to communicate with the people who are far away as they know many things initially only. Globalization helps to open international access and makes trade easy. "With the world increasingly resembling the "global village" predicted by social scientist Marshall McLuhan decades in the past, small businesses are no longer restricted to only reaching customers in the U.S" (Quain, 2019). According to me, With the help of globalization people can contact internationally and start up their business with the help of internet. Nowadays people are opening small businesses with the help of internet and now they are sharing international market with many people in other countries with the help of social media, websites, mobile marketing etc. For example: "if you sell comic books to a U.S. market, there's nothing stopping you from promoting your products to Japanese youth that love American superheroes" (Quain, 2019). International trade and finance area unit usually confused as being similar with economic process. Indeed, trade and international finance have contributed to economic process however they're not identical. Globalization could be a process that widens, deepens and speeds-up interconnections between folks, establishments, markets and nations. To understand the economic logic behind international trade, you've got to simply accept, as these corporations do, that trade is concerning dependent exchange. One factor is obviously, protection and openness to international trade each have financial gain distribution effects. The key question is UN agency reaps the advantages and UN agency carries the burden of the system adopted by a given country. Globalization makes free movement of labor. "Increased labor migration gives advantages to both workers and recipient countries. If a country experiences high unemployment, there are increased opportunities to look for work elsewhere. This process of labor migration also helps reduce geographical inequality" (Pettinger, 2017). According to me, this has been quite effective within the EU, with several Japanese European employees migrating west. Also, it helps countries with labor shortages fill necessary posts. as an example, the United Kingdom required to recruit nurses from the region to fill shortages. However, this issue is additionally quite arguable. Some area unit involved that free movement of labor will cause excess pressure on housing and social services in some countries. Countries just like the USA have passed through this method by actively trying to stop migrants from different countries (Pettinger, 2017). If there's free movement of labor, then employees from overseas will take temporary jobs once Associate in Nursing economy is booming then come home, once the boom is over. this is often notably helpful for rotatory job markets, like construction. "The number of Personal Public Service (PPS) Numbers issued to non-Irish nationals went down by nearly 50% between 2008 and 2009, and over the past two years the number of employment permits issued has dropped by 66%" (Pettinger, 2017). This helps to reduce geographical inequality in the world. So, globalization unites the worlds as reducing inequality means unity. Globalization increases economic sales, and by this people have greater competition and it help to invest more. "Production is increasingly specialized. Globalization enables goods to be produced in different parts of the world. This greater specialization enables lower average costs and lower prices for consumers" (Pettinger, 2017). Globalization helps to increase global export. . Globalization arises greater competition among people weather it is in business or in personal life. In personal life people try to be richer and smarter than other people by looking at them with the help of social media and other internet sources. According to me, Globalization increases investments and by this people prefer to invest more. "It has made it easier for countries to attract short-term and long-term investment. Investment by multinational companies can play a big role in improving the economies of developing countries" (Pettinger, 2017). These practices end in enhanced cultural similarities between countries and progressively connected economies that have more mutual interests and challenges. economic process and international investment area unit tied along and lead into each other as firms act internationally by increasing their international investment out of mutual interest and therefore the must be compelled to keep internationally competitive (Hall, 2018). Globalization enhance crime and terrorism and it increases inequality in the world, but it also helps people to invest more and to trade easily in different countries. Every person has different perspective. Majority of people say that globalization divides the country and some people say that it unites the world. According to me Globalization unites the world as globalization comes from technology and technology give human being lots of advantages. Globalization connects the human being to the world and people can do whatever they want with help of it. It makes trade easy, business easy as well as communication easy and due to this only many countries growing much faster in economy and finance. Globalization introduces so much businessman to the world and it gives platform to newcomers to perform and be famous. So, Globalization have more benefits and compared to disadvantages.

Tahyna MacManus is channelling her miscarriage grief into a powerful movement
By Kahla Preston| 1 year ago
In October last year, Tahyna MacManus shared a beautiful Instagram update with her fans: she was expecting her second child.
From the outside, one might assume it was a moment of pure joy for the actress and model, who'd been longing to give her daughter Echo a younger sibling.
However, after suffering three miscarriages in as many years, the thought of even acknowledging her pregnancy filled MacManus with trepidation.
"I didn't want to talk about it because I was so scared I was going to lose the baby," she tells 9Honey.
"It was so strange that, in my weird subconscious, I was innately feeding this shame and stigma around miscarriage."
In addition to preparing for baby #2, MacManus (nee Tahyna Tozzi) is now busy at work on a passion project she hopes will dismantle that stigma.
I am 1 in 4. This is a tricky one that took me awhile to share - on one hand I am overjoyed at our impending arrival and on the other hand thinking of the 3 little lives that didn't make it this far. On this day in particular -Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day - I think of all those little ones and the women and families who had to endure the tragedy of Miscarriage. I began documenting my experience on film in an effort to shatter the shame and stigma associated with miscarriage and loss. Thank you to those who have shared their experience with me so far - I always wish to hear more - if you have a journey to share please email via website in bio and visit @neon_jane_productions for more. #M.O.M
A post shared by tahynamacmanus (@tahynamacmanus) on Oct 15, 2018 at 12:18am PDT
Her documentary Misunderstandings of Miscarriage—set for release later this year—aims to open up the conversation around miscarriage, which is estimated to impact one in four Australian women.
The idea came to MacManus in the aftermath of her second miscarriage, which came roughly 18 months after Echo's birth.

As a sonographer confirmed her baby didn't have a heartbeat, the young mum felt an "overwhelming" compulsion to document the devastating experience.
"I turned to my husband [Tristan MacManus] and said, 'Can you film this? I have something to say,'" she recalls.
"He felt uncomfortable, but I said, 'I feel so alone right now' ... I needed to talk, so he picked up my phone and started filming. It's all come from there."
The couple were first touched by pregnancy loss in 2015.
Then 28 and living in Los Angeles, MacManus had fallen pregnant quickly, and admits miscarriage was something hadn't entered her personal orbit; as far as she knew, none of her family members or friends had been through it.

A week after Father's Day, when she'd shared the happy news with her husband, the actress woke up to severe cramps and began bleeding and knew something was wrong. A sonographer at a local doctor's clinic determined her baby had died.
"I just sobbed. I was so completely devastated and heartbroken," she recalls.
"I asked the sonographer what I should do, and she said, 'The doctor will give you call, so just go home and take a Panadol. That was it. I never got a phone call from the doctor.
"I really blamed myself, I thought something was wrong with me, and secretly my husband was doing the same to himself. I had no idea."
MacManus admits the joy and excitement of falling pregnant with Echo months later was "somewhat taken away" after losing her first baby.
"Every little kick or cramp or move, I was monitoring or Googling. I was terrified during my whole pregnancy," she says.

MacManus' third experience of pregnancy loss came after she'd begun shooting Misunderstandings of Miscarriage.
"It was a different experience altogether. I woke up quite certain I was pregnant, did the test, and in that same day I was on set and I just started bleeding. I lost the baby as soon as I got the test," she recalls.
"It's been a really weird experience talking about all of this while being pregnant, because I'm also going through those feelings of being terrified."
MacManus' documentary touches not only on her miscarriage experience, but those of other women, including fellow Aussie actresses Teresa Palmer and Claire Holt.
One of her aims in speaking so candidly about pregnancy loss is to highlight the importance of providing resources to women to support them through their grief.
"Most of the women I've spoken to feel they've been given no information [from doctors] other than, 'Go and look for yourself online'," she explains.
"I feel the medical profession should be giving us resources as soon as we're told we've lost our baby ... the psychological and emotional impact extends far beyond the miscarriage.
'I just want women to know that they are supported and comforted.' (Supplied)
"It should be an open conversation, they should be given grief counselling and the chance to feel what they feel."
MacManus—whose sister is model Cheyenne Tozzi—also believes it's vital for loved ones to be equipped and empowered to support women through the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
"That grief is so hard to process for the entire family, not just the woman ... My husband didn't know what to say or how to offer support to me," MacManus says.
The filmmaker admits the process has opened up her own eyes to just how widespread pregnancy loss is within her own personal orbit.
"As soon as I started talking about it, I realised how many of my friends had had a miscarriage and never said anything. It's just opened up this whole conversation," she says.
"I just want women to know that they are supported and comforted."

He claims to be a "Doodle Pad Defacer" and his work is friggin' genius.
Sorta kinda nsfw, but wwwwow some brilliant work here.
I would note that if you perform some kind of editing on the photos, that can remove the exif data this relies on.
But still! Look at the map. Crazy.
A challenging "brick breaker" clone with some interesting differences. The number on the brick indicates how many hits until it breaks. You can run out of hits before the level is done. Difficult but entertaining.
What a bizarre structure. Beautiful. Weird. I wonder what the acoustics are like.
These have been your Friday Links, for the last Friday in September 2017.

It is the first day of Autumn, in the Northern Hemisphere of our planet.
And also: time for some links!
If Google Street View existed in the 1980s, this.
A really interesting collection of stories and photos from that era.
1967 has "labelmate", which I think is a fitting one for my birth year.
The examples get across what this is doing, but you can also upload your own.

And: It is now links time.

I had not sounded off previously about this, but the new LCD Soundsystem album – American Dream – is my favorite new musical release in quite some time.

There have been a variety of examples of new colorization of vintage historic black and white photographs over the past few years.
This one was commissioned for an exhibit entitled "The Discovery of King Tut" at Premiere Exhibitions in NYC. The colorization was performed by "Dynamichrome", aka Jordan J. Lloyd, who is releasing a hardcover book of some of his works.
These are gorgeous. You would never suspect they were taken in 1922.
Nerd alert: I have been wanting to know this information since I was ~11 years old. I continually question whether any alien intelligence will understand any of how to do this. It's so… weird. And archaic by today's standards. But I love that we as a species sent this out into the universe.
This is a great (and timely) web interface to examine current wind conditions around the world. It's extremely fast, especially considering the vast amount of data it's visualizing.

'Strangulation cases are going to be a priority of mine' — the new district attorney for Anchorage talks about his priorities
(KTUU)
By Rebecca Palsha
Published: Jan. 8, 2019 at 3:09 PM AKST
John Novak, a prosecutor with more than 30 years experience, has been tapped to be the new district attorney for Anchorage. Channel 2 spoke with Novak on Tuesday to discuss a broad range of subjects, including Novak's goals for his office. Here is an edited transcript of our conversation with Novak.
Rebecca Palsha:
What are your priorities for this office?
John Novak:
To develop, mentor and train young prosecutors, paralegals, staff that we have at this office to be the next generation. The second real goal is to do my best to establish this office to be a vital part of the solution to Alaska's now years and years long distinction, or dishonor, of being number one in the nation domestic violence, homicide; number one in the nation in sexual assault, number one in the nation — or among the top — in child abuse and neglect.
Palsha:
There has been growing frustration by the public that people feel like not enough crimes have been prosecuted, especially lower level crimes. Is that an accurate perception?
Novak:
Once again, my priorities are domestic violence, homicide, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect. So, you know, if I had one prosecutor, what would I have them doing? I'd have them doing the murder case, the strangulation cases, the sexual assault cases, and know that is the core function of this office: to protect those people who can't protect themselves.
Strangulation cases are gong to be a priority of mine, they are very significant cases very important cases.
Most of the general public deals with things like theft, and kind of petty crimes. How do you deal with their frustrations that those crimes don't seem prosecuted? And I know when you look at strangulation and homicides and stuff like that, that's the higher level of crime, but for the general public, they're still annoyed that their crimes aren't being prosecuted.
I've got at least a half a dozen of my personal friends who have had their cars stolen...That having been said, if I talk to any of my friends or any of my neighbors or community members and said 'Okay, what's more important: the domestic violence homicide that happened in our neighborhood, or the theft of your car?' I think everybody's going to say 'Yep, you need to focus your attention.'
All I can do is promise to do my best, and honorably serve in that position. But this is not about me, this is about this office, and how we can accomplish our mission. Like I said, we have smart, talented, hard working people here. Prosecutors, paralegals, law office assistants, they work hard. They work holidays, they work days, nights, evenings, and I think it's — and maybe I didn't mention this, you know, when the earthquake happened, we never stopped working. We got our job done.
To illustrate the type of people we have here, one of our prosecutors was here, and rather than go outside and evacuate the building he started going office to office, room to room, and looking if he could help. And found her (a co-worker) and rescued her, and you know, that's the type of person that I've been entrusted to lead. So I'm proud to do this job. I'll do my best.
Pretty exciting work head of you.
It's a big job, big job.

Rail firms still facing staff shortages despite emergency measures on self-isolation
23 July 2021 Shannon Butcher Network, News
Companies will still face staff shortages and lost revenue because of the number of workers having to self-isolate despite emergency measures to ease the crisis, industry leaders are warning.
The Government has announced plans to allow firms in sectors including transport, energy, local councils and digital infrastructure to deploy the daily testing of workers as an alternative to self-isolation.
Firms will have to apply, with the expectation that Government departments will now be inundated with requests.

Where do I need to wear a face mask after restrictions ease?
Tyne and Wear Metro to enforce wearing face masks on services
Rail unions say train services will be reduced from next week because of staff shortages, which they warn could lead to overcrowding.
Mick Lynch, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union, told the PA news agency: "There is a real danger of a headlong rush into these new measures driven by this inept government which could make a bad situation even worse.
"We are already hearing of planned reductions to rail services next week due to staff shortages.
"Before any implementation of new procedures, employers need to produce proper risk assessments agreed with the union that consider and control the enhanced risks to all staff and ensure that the principle objective of workplace safety is maintained and fully enforced."
Hannah Essex, co-executive director of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "While the announcement of a process which may exempt select critical workers from self-isolation in England will be a relief to some businesses, it will leave many more still facing critical staff shortages and lost revenue as the number of people being asked to isolate remains high.
"Nearly half of the businesses we surveyed this week have had staff either off sick with Covid or self-isolating in the past two weeks.
"Businesses want to play their part in stopping the spread of the virus while at the same time striving to revive their business after 16 months of disruption and closures.
"Pilot schemes for 'test to release' options have been running for some time now and we would urge the Government to immediately bring forward the results of those test schemes and set out how this could be used to enable more double-vaccinated people to avoid self-isolation beyond this narrow group of critical workers.
"Government departments are likely to face large volumes of requests for exemptions in the coming days.
"They must live up to their commitment to responding quickly to requests and provide clear and precise guidance as to what individuals and businesses should do, for example with regards to testing."
A survey of 1,300 adults by jobs site CV-Library found two out of five workers know someone who has been unable to return to work because they have had to self-isolate this week.
Most isolation cases were as a result of being notified via the Covid-19 app.
Lee Biggins, chief executive of CV-Library, said: "Keeping staff safe should be the highest priority for employers across the country. However, such huge disruptions to staffing will cause countless problems for the recovery of the UK economy.
"Many businesses will have to reduce operating hours – or in some cases, close – as capacity will be lower, hindering a much-needed recovery over the summer."
The survey found that 50% of professionals were concerned about having to isolate. Nearly 13% of employees were concerned that isolation would interfere with their work, 8.6% were concerned it would interfere with personal plans and 28.4% were worried it would interfere with both.
Richard Burge, chief executive of the London Chamber of Commerce, said: "This measure will be helpful to many businesses, but many others could be hamstrung by staff shortages, particularly at a time when sectors like hospitality and the night-time economy in London face significant recruitment worries.
"The Government should look at replacing the requirement to self-isolate with mandatory daily testing for anyone notified by NHS Test and Trace.
"Ministers should be taking account of the effectiveness of daily testing where it is already being applied and considering rolling this out to support businesses' ability to function and recover."

Finnish is a member of the Finno-Ugric family of languages, unlike most of the other languages spoken in Europe. Therefore, its structure and vocabulary are very different from the Indo-European languages.
Do not try to compare Finnish with your mother tongue (unless it happens to be Estonian, which is closely related to Finnish) Instead, empty your mind and take Finnish as it comes – a different but an exciting language!
Finnish has no articles (cf. English a, the).
Finnish words have no grammatical gender (cf. German der, die, das).
Even the pronoun hän ´he, she´ is used for both sexes.
The basic characteristics – and the basic difference to Indo-European languages – is that Finnish expresses different grammatical meanings mainly by adding endings and suffixes to a word.
We do have words which are used the same way as English prepositions. But most of them are put after the word, not before. They are called postpositions. The preceding word has to have a certain ending.
Finnish is a phonetic language: each written letter is always represented by the same sound and each sound is written with the same letter.
There are long and short sounds (and letters) in Finnish. It is very important to keep them separate when spelling and pronouncing. If you don´t you might not get your message through.
The main stress of the word is always on the first syllable.
Sentence intonation falls off. Even in questions it does not rise. The question has either a question pronoun or the question suffix.
You hear some names spelt in Finnish. Write the name down. Use the capital first letter.
Practise to spell your name in Finnish.
There are 8 vowels in Finnish. They can all be long and short.
Although the vowels can combine in many ways, there is one important restriction: The vowels a, u, o can never occur in a single word together with the vowels ä, ö, y.
This is called vowel harmony. Because of it most endings have two variants, both carrying the same meaning, e.g.
You can probably understand the meaning of the words!
Scroll down to see the correct answers!
Finnish vocabulary has a fair number of words borrowed from Indo-European languages. Although they are written and pronounced differently (that is: in a Finnish way), many of them are quite easy to recognize, e.g.
Can you guess what these are in English (or in your language)?
However, most of the Finnish words are either original Finno-Ugric words, or even if borrowed they have changed so much that it is quite impossible to assosiate them with anything you already know.
It is, therefore, very important that you pay attention to the vocabulary right from the start.
Finnish vocabulary has a huge amount of compound words: two or three words stuck together thus creating a new word.

Tired? Fatigued? A Little Overweight?
Junk Food Make People Lazy?
WARNING: New research shows coughs and sneezes travel much further than expected!
The Shocking Cost of Obesity! How much more will an obese child pay in medical costs over his or her lifetime compared with a child of normal weight? You will probably be surprised.
Houston – Which came first, the chicken or the egg? People have debated this question for millennia and there is still not a clear answer. However, there is another debate that is probably much more important to you. Knowing the answer to this other debate may give you more energy, improve your health, and make you feel much better.
or Do Lazy People Eat Junk Food?
There is a belief that people who eat junk food and become overweight do so because they are lazy. But, a new study conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) found the opposite to be true.
According to Science Daily, "Life scientists led by UCLA's Dr. Aaron Blaisdell placed 32 female rats on one of two diets for six months. The first, a standard rat's diet consisted of relatively unprocessed foods like ground corn and fish meal. The ingredients in the second were highly processed, of lower quality, and included substantially more sugar – a proxy for a junk food diet.
Dr. Blaisdell reports that the rats on the "junk food" diet became obese while the rats on the healthier, more natural diet did not. The researchers also noted that as they gained weight, the rats on the junk food diet demonstrated impaired physical performance and required more rest to perform basic tasks. This suggest laziness and fatigue are caused by eating poorly and gaining weight, not the other way around.
Most Americans eat a diet high loaded with processed foods that contains a lot of sugar and most Americans are also either overweight or obese. In fact, according to studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, more than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese and more than 1 in 3 adults are considered obese. More than 1 in 20 adults are considered to be extremely obese. About one-third of children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be overweight or obese and more than 1 in 6 children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 are considered to be obese.
One of the most common complaints many people have is being tired and fatigued. Next time you go out to eat, just eavesdrop on the conversations taking place around your table. EVERYONE IS EXHAUSTED.
So, is it your fault if you are overweight, tired, and fatigued? Perhaps not. Processed, high-sugar content foods have been heavily marketed for decades, especially to children. They are much more accessible and cheaper, and many times, food labeling can be misleading or even deceptive. If you do not have a degree in biochemistry, you can easily be fooled. To make things even worse, serious evidence is accumulating that sugar is very addictive.
Clearly, quitting a diet of processed and sugar-filled food is not an easy task for many people, which is why so many people try and fail. Many end up quitting for a certain time and falling back into their old ways. This is referred to as the "yo-yo effect" and can lead to serious weight gain.
The researchers at UCLA found that the rats on the junk food diet grew a large amount of tumors throughout their bodies by the end of the study. Those on the more nutritious diet had fewer and smaller tumors that were not as widespread.
If this research is correct, processed foods high in sugar are the cause of weight gain, fatigue, and may contribute to serious health problems.
On top of all that, they are most likely very addictive.
There is no doubt exercise is good for you. There is plenty of research in that regard. But, there is one thing you must understand: You cannot exercise away a bad diet.
This is probably the most common misunderstanding and mistake when it comes to losing weight and increasing energy.
Eating processed foods full of sugar will create weight gain and fatigue no matter how much you exercise. In fact, eating poorly will make exercise extremely difficult because of the fatigue it causes.
If you want to lose weight and have more energy, it is highly recommended you cut processed foods that are loaded with sugar from your diet.
One more thing: New research shows that the average lifetime medical costs for an obese child are $19,000 higher than those of a child of normal weight who maintains normal weight through adulthood. These are direct costs and are probably higher when factoring in indirect costs. Cutting processed foods that are high in sugar from your child's diet could have a huge impact on their life and healthcare costs.
First, there are a lot of people who jump into the legal debate. In other words, whether they keep or return the money is solely dependant on what they are legally bound to do. They say, if it is legal, they will keep it and vice versa. The situation gets more complicated depending on the amount of money in the bag. For example, it is much easier returning $20 than it is $1 million. What if the person who finds the money is poor? Does this mean it is okay to keep someone else's money? It all depends on your situational ethics.
That's why this story is so impressive.
Reyes is reported as saying he is looking forward to holding up his end of the deal. This is incredible because not only did this kind person add money to the wallet, he did not even tell anyone his name. He is obviously just looking to make the world a better place and not looking to make himself look good.
You see, the house they chose was being rented out by several professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters and the guy who answered the door was 6'3" pro MMA fighter Jake Gombocz. As you can imagine, this story could have gone very wrong for these drunken college kids pounding on a stranger's door at 11 p.m.
But it didn't. Jake is a gentle giant and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Jake offered them a ride home all the way across town. When the college kids offered Jake money, he refused to take it and told them to pay the kindness forward to someone else.
The most amazing part of all these stories is the good Samaritans did not give their names and did not try to take credit for their acts of kindness. We only found out Jake's name because one of his friends was there and posted the story about Jake on his Facebook account.

Iconic watches in movies: The King's Man features a Jaeger-LeCoultre X Mr Porter limited edition timepiece
If the suit is a modern gentleman's armour, and king's men are the new knights, then it's definitely watches instead of swords they wield
Based off the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master line, this exquisite limited edition watch is a completely new model that did not previously exist within the collection. Kudos to Jaeger-LeCoultre for going the extra mile. And as the latest Kingsman flick (The King's Man) takes us back a hundred years to the early 1900s, the fact that its agents wore a wristwatch tells us that they were completely updated on the latest technology.
The King's Man stars Ralph Fiennes and Harris Dickinson
Because during the early 1900s, pocket watches were still the norm and people were only just beginning to transition into wristwatches.
A 100-piece limited edition based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master collection
Made exclusively for The King's Man, retailing on Mr Porter and soon, Jaeger-LeCoultre boutiques
This particular specimen showcases Jaeger-LeCoultre's incredible mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking. Then as much as now, Ultra-thin timepieces were truly objects of refined elegance. They grew in significance after Jaeger-LeCoultre founder, master watchmaker Antoine LeCoultre, devised a way to rearrange the components of the movement on a single plane. Known as LeCoultre calibres, they completely revolutionised watchmaking and paved the way for wristwatches.
This timepiece references a historical Couteau pocket watch
LeCoultre calibres are known for their ultra-thin construction
So Jaeger-LeCoultre x Mr Porter Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch is truly ultra-thin at just 4.2mm for the case, and 1.85mm for the movement – a handwound Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 849. All of this takes us back to a specific piece in the manufacture's long history: a 1907 Couteau (French for 'knife') pocket watch. So thin, it looks like a knife's blade when viewed from the side.
All the king's watches…
Since Kingsman I (2014), fans of the franchise have been watching the movies as much for the swashbuckling fight scenes as the slick suits and even slicker accessories. All prerequisites for a neoclassic spy movie: bulletproof umbrellas, stun pens, shoes with little poison-tipped knives, and watches that shoot projectile darts.
Indeed, the timepieces worn on set actually played supporting roles to the characters wearing them.
Colin Firth in Kingsman: The Secret Service
Decked out in their best Savile Row finery, the Kingsman agents wore Bremont timepieces in Kingsman: The Secret Service. They were specially designed military inspired watches based on the ALT1-Z collection.
Marketed as a bloody smart watch, three variants were produced. One black DLC steel ALT1-B2 GMT issued to the new recruits, and one rose gold ALT1-WT world time chronograph for fully trained agents. Plus a steel version of the world time chronograph.
Agent Gallahad as played by Colin Firth
The Bremont ALT1-WT Worldtimer in rose gold
These watches retailed exclusively on the Mr Porter Costume to Collection series, along with apparel, leather goods, as well as small accessories.
… And all the king's men
All the good work done in the first installation continues through to the second. Kingsman: The Golden Circle was pretty enjoyable if you'd overlook a couple of inconsistencies.
Watch geeks had a field trip identifying all the TAG Heuer timepieces worn by agents on both sides of the Atlantic.
Kingsman agents wore the TAG Heuer Connected Watch
Stateman agents went old school with the TAG Heuer Monaco
Where Kingsman agents wore the TAG Heuer Connected watch with their logo on the screen, Statesman agents had on square-cased TAG Heuer Monacos in varying colours and features.
This time round, there was much more screen time given to the watches. They have even been written into the script, helping the agents unlock an advanced biometric security system.
A timeless classic, the TAG Heuer Monaco with square case and square subdials
A modern wrist companion, TAG Heuer Connected watch with interchangeable straps
Of course, given how prominent the Monaco is, with blue dial and blue chronograph subdials, you just can't miss it on the screen.
While we don't know yet how this ultra-thin ultra-sharp Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece will be featured in The King's Man, we're certain that it'll come in very handy for the agent who gets to wear it.
Until 6 September, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Kingsman Knife watch will be offered exclusively on Mr Porter. Thereafter, it will retail directly on Jaeger-LeCoultre online and in select boutiques.
The King's Man is coming to cinemas in Singapore this 17 September.

Rarely do you come across a completely new account of the breakthrough at Chickamauga, let alone a new view from Rosecrans's Headquarters.
But thanks to Senator James W. Nesmith of Oregon, we have one.
Senator Nesmith was a War Democrat, elected as the Junior Senator from Oregon in 1860, a year after Oregon became a state. He was asked to run in order to replace Joseph Lane, who was elected to a special term in 1859, but who declined to stand for re-election in 1860, choosing instead to run as John C. Breckinridge's running mate as the Democratic party fractured that election cycle.
Lane's pro-slavery, pro-secession stance destroyed his political career in Oregon, a free state with strong abolition sentiments and an abhorrence of secession. Oregon Democrats, afraid of a Republican sweep, asked Nesmith to step in. He won.
Nesmith, despite his Democratic affiliation, came to be a steady supporter of the Lincoln administration. He served on the military affairs committee, was asked by Stanton to help provide oversight of the Union draft to make sure it was fairly administered, and undertook frequent inspection trips for the administration. He was the only Senate Democrat to vote for the 13th Amendment.
In early September, 1863, Nesmith traveled to join General Rosecrans and the Army of the Cumberland as they campaigned around Chattanooga. He reached Bridgeport on September 15th, in company with Colonel Henry C. Hodges, chief quartermaster for the Department of the Cumberland, and proceeded on to join Rosecrans. Nesmith met with Gordon Granger at Rossville on September 17th – Granger was an old friend, having served in Oregon with the US Mounted Rifles in the 1850s – and then moved on to Rosecrans's headquarters at Crawfish Spring on the 18th. He and Colonel Hodges remained with Rosecrans until midday on September 20th, when they became separated from the army commander by the Confederate breakthrough.
Nesmith's mission is still a bit unclear to me. This seems to be an official trip, and in discussing the topic with Jim Odgen at Chickamauga, Jim suggested that Nesmith's inspection might be connected to the ongoing issue of supply. Rosecrans not shy about sharing his logistical difficulties during this campaign, especially with regard to the huge demand for horses and mules. The War Department in Washington tended to downplay those complaints, regarding Rosecrans as prone to exaggeration (to be polite about it.) In later weeks Union Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs would come to Chattanooga on just such a mission, whereupon Meigs immediately informed the War Department that Rosecrans was not embellishing a thing.
However, there is very little paper trail to follow. Nesmith is only mentioned a couple of times in passing in the Official Records. There is a note from Granger introducing "his good friend" the Senator to General Rosecrans, and General Hazen mentions him briefly as a witness to a dressing-down given to Hazen by Rosecrans on the night of September 18th. That episode affronted Hazen, and he mentioned Nesmith as a witness in a later effort to clear the matter up. If not for that mention by Hazen, I am not sure I would have tumbled to the fact that Nesmith was present during the battle. But that passing mention got me to wondering.
Nesmith described his trip both privately, in letters home to his family, and publically, in a lengthy epistle to the Oregon Statesman, under the pen name of Tillicum.
In a private letter, Nesmith noted that "from Bridgeport to Chattanooga is a terrible rough mountainous country, [with] as bad a road as I ever traveled over in Oregon." Interestingly enough, he describes the dust as "shoe mouth deep," a phrase that re-occurs often in descriptions of the time, including by Confederates. I wonder how common that phrase was in regular usage.
After that, Nesmith rode west out the Dry Valley Road, through McFarland's Gap, and into Rossville. Along the way he would only say that he "saw enough of cowardice and imbecility to disgust any . . . man." Along the way, he must have encountered Alexander McDowell McCook, who did not leave a favorable impression. "McCook ought to try some other business besides fighting," Nesmith confided to his cousin.
Was McCook counted among the "cowards and imbeciles" who raised Nesmith's ire? The Senator doesn't say. When he returned to Washington in early November, however, his opinions concerning the late disaster and the state of affairs at Chattanooga were much sought after. Publically, he reassured everyone that Chattanooga was a splendid position, that the troops – now under Grant and George Thomas – were still full of fight and in fine spirits, and that the Rebels, if they dared attack, would be soundly defeated. I have not found evidence of what he told Lincoln or other members of the government in private, but I suspect it wasn't much good about Alexander McDowell McCook.
Nesmith's account isn't going to set our interpretation of what happened at Chickamauga on its head. But it is a fascinating new window into what was happening atop that knoll at just about noon, Sunday, September 20th, 1863.


Deputy Dotson was shot and killed as he and two Princeton Policemen surprised three men who had just burglarized a jewelry store on Mercer Street. The policemen returned fire wounding two of the suspects. All three were taken into custody.
The shooter was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life. The other two suspects were convicted of burglary and sentenced to 10 years in prison. One of them was paroled May 2, 1956. Three months later he shot and killed his wife and was returned to prison for life.


On the railway track last week in Chettikulam there was a horrible elephant tragedy which needs to be a trumpet call as to how serious Sri Lanka is in its commitment to protecting and promoting biodiversity -- the world environmental theme for this year.
On August 18, three baby elephants and a mother elephant were killed when they were hit by the Mannar night mail train heading towards Colombo. Reports say a herd of about twenty five elephants had attempted to cross the railway track and seven elephants were hit by the train which was apparently running faster than the speed permitted in such areas where engine drivers have been told to go slow because elephants may cross the track. Three mutilated bodies were found around the same place while fourth had been dragged for about 400 metres along the track. Villagers say three other injured elephants had run into their jungle homelands.
With last week's slaughter the number of priceless elephants killed by trains this year has risen to 11. Environmental investigators say that elephants killed on rail tracks are mainly those deprived of both homelands and food and thus roam around just to survive in the conditions that wickedly selfish people have created for them.
yesterday out investigative journalists pointed out how selfish people had grabbed the habitats of the elephants -- the priceless treasures and long time sacred kings of our jungles. Therefore it is not surprising that the fight for space has become a key factor in the human-elephant conflict, and it has tragically led to the deaths of about 200 elephants every year.
Marauding elephants also claim the lives of about 50 people annually, mainly by roaring and raging through villages built near their habitats. According to the latest census the number of Sri Lankan elephants has drastically dropped to about 7,000 compared to about 12,000 some hundred years ago. Obviously the elephants cannot provide a solution to this crisis. The government and the people especially movements committed to the conservation of biodiversity need to act urgently and effectively to find the solution and save our precious elephants from possible extinction.
As for elephants killed on rail tracks, the Railway authorities have said they have a plan to install thermo-cameras where through the heat emitted by the elephants, the driver would get a warning.
Jayantha Jayewardene, Managing Trustee of the Biodiversity and Elephant Conservation Trust, says elephants panic when they hear high speed trains. By tooting the horn from a distance the elephants are alerted and can move away. Mr. Jayawardene says, sometime ago the Wildlife Department deployed an official in the train driver's cabin to prevent the driver getting drunk and being careless. But eventually it was found that both were getting drunk and the victim was the elephant.
Deadly drunken jokes apart, for a long-term solution the government needs to move faster than the drunken driver's train and strictly implement the laws on deforestation. World environment crusaders insist that in the battle against climate change and the destruction of the eco-balance and biodiversity, priority must be given to stop deforestation. The government must not allow any housing or other projects in habitats which belong to the elephants. Without such an eco-friendly policy and commitment to diversity there cannot be sustainable development.
Besides the killing of elephants in train accidents or in the human elephant conflict there are also the heartless poachers. In Africa these wicked gangs are going after rhinos whose tusks are known to be more valuable than gold. In Sri Lanka also we see such poachers, many of them with political patronage. They kill the majestic tuskers to make a huge profit not realising or caring that they are destroying one of our great treasures.
We hope the government will act fast and firmly against all these elephant killers and make it clear to them that the trumpet has sounded and at judgment they stand.


If you are a little bit health conscious, you know that what you eat is the most important to avoid illnesses. You may have already started consuming more fruits and veggies, and you do not eat as much junk as you used to be.
But what if I tell you that it is not enough. What if I say that those "healthy" foods that you buy from the stores are actually bad for you?
There is a huge difference between having an apple from the supermarket and an organic farm.
If you want to have proper nutrition, you should have as many natural products as possible.
Read on to find out why you need to settle with organic foods.
Did you know that more than 600 chemicals are registered and used in the agriculture in the USA? And billions of pounds of these harmful chemicals are used in each year? Shocking, isn't?
If you go to the a supermarket, you can see huge and perfect looking fruits and veggies (even if they are on the shelves for weeks). If you think that this is normal, then think twice. Those harmful chemicals are the reasons why those products are so perfect.
Organics farming is not allowed to use any of these chemicals. The products are maybe not so perfect and tempting, but they do not hold things that make you ill. Here you can read more about the chemicals in the agriculture.
Those foods that are produced on organic farms are far richer in beneficial nutrients because of the healthy soil they are grown in. Compared to conventional foods they hold much more minerals, vitamins, enzymes, etc. So, even if you eat less organic food, you will take in more nutrients.
If you grew up in the countryside like me, you might know the real taste of the fruits and greens. The taste of the factory-made products cannot compete with the organic foods.
Try it yourself. Buy some tomatoes from a bio farm and the store. The difference is unbelievable.
Sad but true but genetically engineered food production is legal in almost everywhere now. The problem is that we do not know who it affects the nature, and the human body since this technology has been used only for 15 years.
If you buy organic food, you do not have to be afraid of it, since it is forbidden to utilize this technology.
Watch the video how organic farmers do it.
It is unbelievable that how many ways the "modern" agriculture manipulates the nature to produce more in less time. They give hormones and other drugs to the animals, and in their meat, those unwanted components can be found.
A hundred year ago it took months for farmers to raise a chicken, now in 3 weeks the chickens are in cutting age.
Meat from organic farms is clear from these drugs. Besides the animals have had a much better life. And the taste of those meats is delicious.
Organic farming is not only good for you but the Earth, since it is in harmony with nature. These farmers use old, but proven and nature safe technologies to prevent the health of the soil such as crop rotation.
These people know that it is possible to grow products without damaging and with the help of the wildlife.
A huge problem with the various fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals in the agriculture is that they poison the environment, the water and sooner or later they destroy the value of the farmland. So, they make you unhealthy immediately.
Since organic farming does not use any of these, they do not pollute the environment in any ways. And they can maintain a long-lasting food production.
If you support the unethical agriculture, you take part in worsening the future of your kids and of course yours. Water and soil pollution is already a critical problem all over the world, and it is going to be worse.
Next time you go to the shop and want to pick a shining, large apple think what you have learned today. Instead, find an organic greengrocer. You may have to pay a little bit more, but you get products that are really healthy. And you support those true and hard-working farmers who want to provide real value for the people without damaging the world around them.
