Friday, Dec. 27 – NO CLASS
Sunday Service, Dec. 29 – New Beginnings – a talk by Rajagopalan Rengarajan
The opening song was Ring Out Wild Bells, sung by Peter Travisano.
When we set our alarm clock for the next day, we want to get up and meditate, but when the alarm rings in the morning, we want to sleep. It is like having two different personalities. Our mind goes where it wants to go like Mullah Nasrudin's donkey that goes where it wants to go. To meditate successfully, we must set priorities that must be internal. We often have new beginnings, such as Valmiki, who started off as a thief and became a saint and Girish Chandra Ghosh who started off as a libertine and became a faithful devotee. These new beginnings came from their interactions with their Gurus. Akrura prayed earnestly and sincerely for a vision of Krishna every day for twelve years. Eventually, King Kamsa ordered Akrura to bring Krishna to Mathura, and his prayer was fulfilled. He felt that it was due to the grace of God. One way of emulating Akrura is to forget our accomplishments and failures each night and start the new day afresh. Spiritual realization can come at any time, so why think of it as a long way off? We should not be like the sage who was dejected when told that he would get the vision of God in three more births, but like the other sage who was ecstatic that it would happen when told that it would take as many births as the many leaves on a tree. It is our choice. Stories like these can help us in our spiritual practice.
Tuesday, Dec. 31 – Study Class on Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play
Chapter 5 As Guru, His Attitude Towards Mathur, Pages: 486-491
Sri Ramakrishna's teachership was not performed with an explicit desire to teach but happened while He performed His actions in divine obedience. He lived at the threshold of the Absolute and manifest.
We are hypnotized by the names and forms that result from distortions created by our instrument of perception (senses and mind). We are either unaware that we are hallucinated or, being aware, we are helpless in coming out of it. The nature of hallucination is different for different persons based on the conditioning of their respective instruments. We can achieve de-hypnotization through the process of meditation. Sri Ramakrishna could clearly see the hallucination of each individual and thus was able to guide each one according to their respective needs.
Mathur Babu is an example of a disciple who closely associated with Sri Ramakrishna and experienced a tremendous transformation through this association. He was educated in western system which promotes democracy – creates a sense of equality and encourages questioning and inspection. Vedanta provides a strong foundation for democracy because, while it recognizes the diversity in height, weight, color, mental get up etc. it asserts the equality in spirit among all of us. It, therefore, encourages exchange of ideas in the process of learning. Mathur questioned and tested Sri Ramakrishna and accepted His teachings only when he was convinced. Once Mathur questioned if God can break natural laws and couldn't accept Sri Ramakrishna's position that God, who made the laws can unmake them too. Next day, Sri Ramakrishna saw a hibiscus plant with white and red flowers on the same twig which Mathur didn't think was possible. He showed it to Mathur who then, accepted this as a proof that natural laws may be subject to divine intervention. Mathur also experienced Sri Ramakrishna's ecstasies and unorthodox methods of worship and prayer. He had the penetrative intellect to conclude that these were not acts of lunacy but results of extremely deep devotion, even though, he initially believed that extreme spiritual practices may have led to some derangement of the brain.

Foreign Policy Journal publishes a commentary on the 20th anniversary of ceasefire in Karabakh
Siranush Ghazanchyan Send an email May 30, 2014, 15:03
On May 29, 2014, the Foreign Policy Journal published an article by Aram Avetisyan entitled "Twenty Years of Karabakh Armistice: No Peace, No Trust." The commentary discusses the Karabakh peace process and the obstacles that have made a comprehensive peace agreement so illusive.
The full text of the article is provided below:
Twenty years have passed since a cease fire agreement was signed between Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Nagorno Karabakh. While the truce put an end the large-scale hostilities, there is no final peace agreement, and the sides continue to suffer casualties. The question why the cease fire has not lead to the comprehensive peace agreement remains rhetorical; the lack of confidence between the parties and aggressive behavior of Azerbaijan are major obstacles. Moreover, the current phase of the peace process remains incomplete with no comprehensive participation of Nagorno Karabakh authorities.
Why does Azerbaijan avoid negotiations with Nagorno Karabakh? Why does Baku deny previous contacts with NKR authorities? The answer lies in Baku's policy and goals towards everything Armenian. Throughout last 20 years of relative peace, the world and the region have witnessed Azerbaijan's aggressive warmongering, instigation of hatred towards Armenians, military build-up, and disregard of calls from the international community to initiate confidence-building measures.
The goals are evident and not new. Just like during the war from 1991-1994, Azerbaijan uses cease-fire "breaks" to regroup and rebuild its military capacities. As soon as it feels ready for another attempt, the Azeri leadership begins blackmailing with renewed aggression and demands from the Armenian sides to accept the unacceptable. Sniper war and cross-border subversions are parts of these tactics.
Another aspect is Baku's efforts to distort the essence of the Karabakh problem and misrepresent the issue as "Armenia's territorial claim towards Azerbaijan". Azerbaijan manipulates with the UN Security Council's resolutions regarding the Karabakh conflict and complains about "occupation of its territories by Armenia". In reality, none of those resolutions, which remained unimplemented at Baku's fault, has ever mentioned Armenia as aggressor state, since Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh are the two principal parties to the conflict.
Two rhetorical questions: if the problem was between Armenia and Azerbaijan, why then would president Aliyev (the father of incumbent Azeri leader) delegate his envoys to negotiate with official representatives of the NKR; why was the 1994 ceasefire document entered into force after being signed by three parties, including Nagorno Karabakh?
Restoration of the previous, OSCE-supported framework with participation of the NKR will promote negotiations and facilitate final settlement. Implementation of confidence-building measures (CBM) by all sides, especially between NKR and Azerbaijan, will help reduce the tension and create a favorable atmosphere for the two societies to overcome the existing problems. Unfortunately, all previous attempts to restore trust between the peoples failed after Azerbaijan blocked any CBM initiatives she had received through the OSCE mediators.
The peaceful formula is simple: less casualties, less warmongering, more trust, more chances to achieve regional peace. Through the last 20 years, Armenia and NKR have tried to persuade Azerbaijan that a peaceful solution had no alternative, that snipers along the border further aggravated the situation and postponed settlement. Today, the Armenian states send the same message to "hawks" in Baku, calling them to abandon revanchist aspirations and prevent another tragedy. International community and mediators should make it clear that Azerbaijani leaders must assume responsibility, and prepare its people for peace, rather than war.

Federal workers could win parental leave in space force swap
by: ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press
Posted: Dec 6, 2019 / 08:33 PM CST / Updated: Dec 7, 2019 / 01:35 AM CST
WASHINGTON (AP) — Capitol Hill leaders are nearing agreement in negotiations on an annual defense policy bill that would extend 12 weeks of paid parental leave to federal workers, both military and civilian, in exchange for establishing President Donald Trump's space force initiative.
The agreement would trade a major expansion of benefits to federal workers for a legacy initiative of Trump's. Federal workers currently can take unpaid leave.
Democratic and GOP aides confirmed the developments. The agreement is not finalized and comes after extensive behind-the-scenes battling on the annual defense measure, which has passed Congress every year since the Kennedy administration. Further details were not available.
The parental leave provision is a victory for federal workers, who would face benefit cuts under Trump's budget submissions. Those cuts have always been ignored by Congress, though pension changes were approved under GOP control of the House. The parental leave issue was a priority for Democrats such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who weighed in forcefully this week.
Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and adviser, said Friday that such a provision would "mark a HUGE step forward towards making paid leave a reality for all Americans."
Numerous details regarding the space force program remain to be worked out and funding for the program would be delivered through separate spending legislation that's also taking shape behind the scenes.
The aides requested anonymity because the agreement is not finalized.
by MARY CLARE JALONICK, Associated Press / Jan 15, 2021
WASHINGTON (AP) — Now that the House has impeached President Donald Trump for the second time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi must figure out the best strategy for arguing the case before the Senate.
Senate rules say the trial must start soon after the chamber receives the article of impeachment, which charges "incitement of insurrection" after an angry mob of Trump's supporters invaded the Capitol last week. But Pelosi has not said when the House will deliver it.

Q: CSS full-width centered navigation bar I would like to get this in CCS3 / HTLM5
             | Header ....                  |
=====Blue bar| Navbar. Menu1. Menu2 ...     |Blue bar========
             | Website leftSide and content |
             | Footer                       |

The menu is centered, as well as the content. The problems are the 2 "blue bars" to the right and to the left of the menu. I don't know how to draw them in CSS. They should be the same height as the navbar.
Here is the HTML:

    width: 100%;
}

#wrapper {
    width: 960px;
    margin: 0 auto;

/* End of navigation*/

How can I get my website of 960px fully centered and having the 2 "blue bars" beside the menu?
Thank you for reading and happy coding!

A: I think this is how I'd solve it. You'd need to put the header outside of the wrapper. then set a parent background and ul to different colors.
EXAMPLE
nav {
    width:100%;
    background:blue;
}
nav ul {
    width:100%;
    max-width:960px;
    list-style-type:none;
    display:block;
    margin:0 auto;
    background:rgba(255,255,255,0.5);

An Illinois woman says she delivered a baby girl a few hours after she found out she was 39-weeks pregnant.
The Hawk Eye reports that Heather Columbus of Niota, Illinois, was admitted to the Fort Madison Community Hospital in Iowa on the morning of June 26 with back pain and cramps.
Columbus was given an ultrasound and a nurse informed her and her husband Michael, who had been waiting in the car, that she was 39-weeks pregnant and the back pain she had been feeling was most likely contractions.
"I was completely in shock the whole time," Columbus said. "Heck, I'm still in shock, really. I'm still trying to process it, really. I'm waiting to wake up from it."
Columbus says she still had her menstrual cycle and never felt her baby move.
That afternoon, 7-pound, 13-ounce Leona Josephine Columbus was born. She was named after both parents' grandmothers.
"We named her after the two toughest women we knew," Michael Columbus said.
Columbus said their friends, families and employers have provided nearly everything they need for their newborn daughter.
"It's been amazing. They have helped out quite a bit." Columbus said. "Everybody has."

Our program is based in the Department of Theatre Arts and Film at Sacramento City College, a cultural center of a thriving arts community, and we perform in William Land Park, in the geographical center of the city. The festival is created by local directors and designers; it is performed by local theatre artists, including students from the college; and it is supported by local businesses. Our performances are intended to be comfortable for and accessible to all local audiences. And our outreach and internship programs work to reach and train artists and audiences for the future.


Definitely on the malty side, but the sweetness from that is nice and balanced with the hops. Pretty good beer. Note that I had like 5 in a row and kept getting them. The beer options weren't great, but it says something that it's still enjoyable after a bunch in a row.
This is a decent IPA. The bitterness completely overwhelms everything else, so you can't get too much subtlety of flavor. Also, why is it called 'Tricerahops' if it isn't going to be a triple IPA?

A disorder of the inner ear, Ménière's disease typically affects hearing and balance and may cause debilitating vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. People who suffer from Ménière's disease often report a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear (it typically affects only one ear). The condition most often impacts people in their 40s and 50s, but it can afflict people of all ages, including children. Although treatments can relieve the symptoms of Ménière's disease and minimize its long-term influence, it is a chronic condition with no true cure.
Lidocaine, a medication used for the treatment of certain types of abnormal heart rhythms, has been shown to relieve tinnitus for some people, but it must be given intravenously or into the middle ear to be effective. However, the benefits of lidocaine are almost always outweighed by the risks of the drug and it is therefore not recommended and not used for tinnitus.
While tinnitus is as varied as its causes, it can be grouped into two categories: tonal and non-tonal. Tonal tinnitus is more common and describes the perception of a near-continuous sound or overlapping sounds with a well-defined frequency (e.g., whistling, ringing, buzzing). Non-tonal forms of tinnitus include humming, clicking, crackling, and rumbling.
Many drugs have been studied for treating tinnitus. For some, treatment with low doses of anti-anxiety drugs -- such as Valium or antidepressants such as Elavil -- help reduce tinnitus. The use of a steroid placed into the middle ear along with an anti-anxiety medicine called alprazolam has been shown to be effective for some people. Some small studies have shown that a hormone called misoprostol may be helpful in some cases.
Tinnitus affects every layer of society, and there has been increasing support for awareness. Recently, musicians who are affected by tinnitus have come together to create awareness for the disorder. Artists including Chris Martin of Coldplay and Black Eyed Peas have created a compilation album to help raise funds towards finding a cure for tinnitus. In the United States, the Department of Defense has invested millions of dollars into investigations of tinnitus sound therapies. In addition, the American Tinnitus Association makes efforts to lobby the US government to provide support for tinnitus sufferers.

Tinnitus is when people think they hear something in their ears but there is actually no sound. People with tinnitus actually do "hear" noises that range from a whistle to a crackling noise to a roar. It can happen only occasionally, can occur for a period of days then take a break before recurring again, or it can be constant. The sound can vary in pitch from quiet to unbearably loud, or it can stay the same.
This study has several strengths. It included a relatively large number of patients, reducing the possibility of bias by "masking" which treatment patients received, classifying participants according to the severity of their tinnitus and using highly standardised interventions. Also, the researchers used established scales to measure the severity of tinnitus and its impact on quality of life.

Static noise is designed to distract you from your tinnitus. By mixing a static sound with the tinnitus noise, this can help to divert your attention away from the tinnitus. Miracle-Ear hearing aids have five different types of pre-set static noise sounds so that together, with your hearing care specialist, you can customize this program to your needs to help you relax without the annoyance of tinnitus.
Her most recent study, published in January 2018 in the journal Science Translational Medicine, showed success rates similar to Kilgard's on 20 adult tinnitus patients. (5) People who underwent the therapy 30 minutes a day for one month reported about a 50 percent drop in the loudness of their tinnitus. More than half of the study participants also reported that their tinnitus bothered them less after the therapy, she says.
Tinnitus matching is helpful to identify the frequency and intensity of the tinnitus. This is a simple procedure in which the audiologist adjusts a sound until a patient indicates that it is the same as their tinnitus. Most patients match their tinnitus to the region of their hearing loss (Konig et al, 2006; Mahboubi et al, 2012). Unfortunately, the "gap detection test", does not work to confirm tinnitus in humabs (Boyen et al, 2015).
Practice mindfulness meditation. I've written about the power of mindfulness mediation to reduce stress and improve sleep. A 2017 study found mindfulness meditation is also effective in helping people better manage tinnitus. Mindfulness meditation involves sitting comfortably, putting your attention on your natural breathing. When your mind wanders—to irritating tinnitus sounds, to worry about sleep, or wherever else it goes, gently return your attention to your breath. Start with a 5-minute session, and as you grow more comfortable with the practice, you can increase the time. You can practice mindfulness meditation anywhere, at any time of day—including in the shower!
Objects or insects in the ear can be placed in the ear by patients themselves, or an insect crawling in the ear. Ear wax can also cause ear problems if Q-tips are overused to clean the ears. Symptoms of an object in the ear are inflammation and sensitivity, redness, or discharge of pus or blood. When to seek medical care for an object or insect in the ear is included in the article information.
Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is another not uncommon cause of pulsatile tinnitus. The superior semicircular canal is one of three canals found in the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear. The vestibular apparatus helps to maintain equilibrium and balance. In this syndrome, a part of the temporal bone that overlies the superior semicircular canal is abnormally thin or absent. Superior semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome can affect both hearing and balance to different degrees.
Even with all of these associated conditions and causes, some people develop tinnitus for no obvious reason. Most of the time, tinnitus isn't a sign of a serious health problem, although if it's loud or doesn't go away, it can cause fatigue, depression, anxiety, and problems with memory and concentration. For some, tinnitus can be a source of real mental and emotional anguish.
It can often be very helpful to talk to someone who understands how you are feeling, who can reassure you about any anxieties you may have, and answer your questions. We can provide details of self-help groups and contacts in the UK, and we also run a helpline on 0800 018 0527. Most of the people who run groups or are contacts have tinnitus themselves and have been helping people with the condition for a long time. Even if you don't want to take part in group activities, it can be a comfort to know there is someone you can contact.
Tinnitus Control contains both a spray that is administered under the tongue three times a day and a gelatin capsule that is to be taken twice a day. Each package comes with a one month's supply of the spray (1 fluid ounce) and capsules (60 capsules). Tinnitus Control is not currently available in local stores such as CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid, but it is available directly from the manufacturer's website at http://www.tinnituscontrol.com
If you have tinnitus you also may suffer from anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Discuss treatments with your doctor. While tinnitus cannot always be cured, there are many treatments available for you to make it easier to live with tinnitus. See your doctor if tinnitus is accompanied by dizziness, fever, or headache; as this may signal a more serious condition.
For many, tinnitus symptoms come on gradually and eventually go away as the brain and ears adjust. However, for others tinnitus can last for years and cause various complications. A high percentage of people with tinnitus that's persistent and untreatable go on to also develop anxiety or depression as a result. What types of things can you do to deal with and lower tinnitus symptoms? Tinnitus treatment includes avoiding excessively loud sources of noise pollution, using certain hearing aids, preventing ear infections and avoiding drug use.
Millions of Americans experience tinnitus, often to a debilitating degree, making it one of the most common health conditions in the country. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that nearly 15% of the general public — over 50 million Americans — experience some form of tinnitus. Roughly 20 million people struggle with burdensome chronic tinnitus, while 2 million have extreme and debilitating cases.1

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Maryland man was sentenced to nearly three years in prison for conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
According to court documents, Brendyn J. Andrew, 27, of Gaithersburg, Md., aided by a co-conspirator, used hundreds of stolen credit and debit card accounts to steal more than $150,000. In one part of the fraud scheme, Andrew obtained a full-size snack vending machine and created multiple bogus shell companies to pose as a legitimate snack-vending merchant. He then used his computer to encode stolen credit and debit card numbers onto blank cards, and executed fictitious transactions by swiping the newly encoded cards through the vending machine's credit card payment terminal.
Since the fictitious transactions appeared to be legitimate vending charges, Andrew caused the victim financial institutions to charge customers and electronically transfer the proceeds into accounts Andrew controlled.
Court documents also show that Andrew and his co-conspirator used stolen credit and debit card numbers and customer account information to make numerous fraudulent purchases from various merchants in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Those fraudulent purchases included a 50-round ammunition drum from a Northern Virginia firearms retailer. Andrew carried out the scheme while on probation, and he continued the fraud despite multiple fraud arrests in Maryland and Virginia.
In addition to the sentence of 33 months in prison, Andrew was ordered to forfeit a 2013 Mercedes Benz, a handgun, and firearms accessories, items he had purchased with proceeds from the fraud. Andrew also was ordered to pay restitution.
Brendyn Jamaal Andrew entered a guilty plea to theft under $10,000 on May 19, 2016 in Montgomery County District Court in a plea deal with the Montgomery County States Attorney John McCarthy. THE DEAL: restitution of $1,600 was ordered to be paid to the victim, and Andrew was sentenced to ten years in prison with all of the jail time suspended. Paola A Gnocchi was the attorney for Andrew, according to court records.
Andrew racked up a lot of traffic charges with the now-forfeited Mercedes – which will no longer be a problem since he is in the slammer and the wheels are property of the Treasury Department.

DeSarno, Special Agent in Charge, Criminal Division, FBI Washington Field Office, and M. Jay Farr, Arlington County Chief of Police, made the announcement after sentencing by Senior U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonard O. Evans prosecuted the case.
A TEAM EFFORT AT THEFT: Prosecutors say that a credit card scheme that defrauded other students at Rutgers resulted in eight football players at Rutgers getting suspended from the team.
RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, NEW JERSEY – Credit card fraud was a team effort at Rutgers University, according to prosecutors and all those charged are first offenders and likely will see their trip to prison short-circuited by a New Jersey program for intervention for this squad of heavy-set scamsters.
Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Chief Kenneth Cop of the Rutgers University Police Department announced on Aug. 22, 2018, that eight men, including one from Northern Virginia, were charged for their involvement in a credit card fraud scheme with multiple victims, which occurred while the defendants were students at Rutgers University.
The charges stem from an active and continuing investigation by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office and the Rutgers University Police Department.
Following an intensive investigation which began in the spring of 2018, the defendants were each charged with conspiracy to commit theft by deception in the third degree.
Those charged include Kai J. Gray, 21, of Union, New Jersey; Brendan R. Devera, 18, of Totowa, New Jersey; Naijee R. Jones, 18, of Erial, New Jersey; Edwin A. Lopez, 19, of Camden, New Jersey; Kwabena Marfo, 21, of Alexandria, Virginia; Christian C. Onyechi, 19, of West Orange, New Jersey; Syhiem Simmons, 20, of Brooklyn, New York; and Malik Vaccaro-Dixon, 21, of Port Charlotte, Florida.
Kai J. Gray was also charged with promoting organized street crime in the second degree and money laundering in the third degree.
Brendan R. Devera was additionally charged with promoting organized street crime in the second degree, money laundering in the third degree, and fraudulent use of credit cards in the third degree.
Naijee R. Jones and Christian C. Onyechi have also been charged with fraudulent use of credit cards in the third degree.
In addition, Edwin A. Lopez, Kwabena Marfo, Syhiem Simmons, and Malik Vaccaro-Dixon have all been charged with money laundering in the third degree and fraudulent use of credit cards in the third degree.
The investigation determined that between April 22, 2018 and May 3, 2018, the defendants participated in an illegal credit card fraud scheme in which they obtained credit card numbers belonging to others without their consent or authorization and transferred funds to various RU (Rutgers's University) Express Accounts for personal use.
NEW BRUNSWICK — The eight men who were either dismissed or suspended from the Rutgers football team last summer for their alleged roles in a credit-card fraud scheme are expected to be accepted into pre-trial intervention (PTI), a program that allows first-time offenders of crimes to avoid jail time.
Brendan Devera, Kai "K.J.'' Gray, Malik Vaccaro-Dixon, Edwin Lopez, Kwabena "Kobe" Marfo, Syhiem Simmons, Christian "C.J.'' Onyechi and Naijee Jones had their arraignment hearings Thursday before Judge Pedro Jimenez at the Middlesex County Courthouse.
The players were accused of stealing credit card numbers and transferring funds from various Rutgers University Express Accounts for their own personal use.
Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Russell Curley told Jimenez the state is supporting PTI contingent on all eight being accepted and if full restitution is made.
Jimenez scheduled a status conference for Feb. 28.
Gray is scheduled to appear in court on October 11, 2018 before Superior Court Judge Michael A. Toto. Devera is scheduled for a court appearance tomorrow, August 23, 2018, in Superior Court.
Dixon, Jones, Lopez, Marfo, Onyechi, and Simmons are scheduled to have their first appearance in Middlesex County Superior Court on September 13, 2018.
The investigation is active and is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sergeant Megan Moschberger of the Rutgers University Police Department at (732) 932-7111, or Detective Christopher Van Eerde of the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office at (732) 745-3300.

The quantitative Gender Survey described in this document was part of a larger evaluation and exploration of gender in Leogane and Carrefour, two communes (counties) near to Port-au- Prince that were among those most heavily impacted by the January 12th 2010 earthquake. Following the catastrophe CARE initiated emergency and supportive relief efforts in the communes, including sanitation, health and cash for work programs. In April 2010 CARE launched a program on Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) focusing on family planning and maternal health; later that same year CARE added the Life-Saving Interventions for Women and Girls project, the objective of which was to "combat gender-based violence and to reduce mortality and morbidity among earthquake-affected women and girls." In March 2013 CARE commissioned the qualitative evaluation of these projects and the present complementary quantitative survey that would help to both corroborate findings from the qualitative evaluation and provide guidance for further gender-informed interventions in the region. Both studies are part of CARE International's commitment to helping the poor in Haiti and to long term development, endeavors in which it has been a major Government of Haiti ally since 1954.

Unemployment and vulnerable employment remain some of the greatest challenges facing today's economies
Shadrack Okoth, 28, graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Eldoret. For two years after his graduation, he worked as an intern and did voluntary work and other odd jobs for sporadic income, as he sought a permanent job in his area of study. But nothing was forthcoming.
21-year-old Yvonne Agnes's story is a little different, yet it bears some similarities to Shadrack's. She and her four siblings were left orphaned after their mother died in 2017, seven years after they lost their father.
Turning the tide: Why we must beat plastic pollution
For three years after completing her secondary school education, Yvonne tried to secure employment, filling more job applications than she says she cares to remember.
"I have no college education, and with no parents to depend on and no job, I felt like the world had turned against me," she says. "I was depending on my elder sister a lot. She bought everything. I could not make any contribution, not even buying soap. I saw myself as a liability."
Their stories are a stark reminder of the reality faced by millions of unemployed men and women around the world every day, stories that lend credibility to a report released by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in January this year titled: World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2018. Following its publication the report was highlighted in a story published by the UN News website with the headline: "Unemployment to remain high, quality jobs harder to find in 2018".
Unemployment and vulnerable employment remain some of the greatest challenges facing today's economies, whether developed, developing or emerging. According to the ILO, as more people enter the labour market to seek employment, the total number of unemployed is expected to remain above 192 million in 2018, and that number would likely grow by 1.3 million in 2019.
Yvonne Agnes, a beneficiary of Generation Kenya, listens in during the launch of Safaricom Foundation's Wezesha programme. The three-year economic empowerment programme aims to provide training and entry level job placement to 1,700 young people.
Kenya, like many other countries, has not been spared. Seven million Kenyans are reported to be lacking jobs, with nine out of every 10 of those unemployed being under the age of 35 years according to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
Yet each year, about half a million youth graduate from the country's universities and colleges. Of these, about 50,000 are absorbed into the formal sector. The rest either try their hand at entrepreneurship, find employment in the informal sector, go back to school to get further qualifications in the hope of securing increasingly elusive jobs – or remain jobless.
In stark contrast, many employers say they struggle to find people with the right skills they need for entry-level jobs.
"One of the major employment opportunities we see is in entry-level jobs, but a lot of young people who go into them don't look to make a career out of them. They just want to get them as a holding job as they look for bigger opportunities offering higher pay," says Sylvia Mulinge, a Trustee of the Safaricom Foundation.
It's an issue that the foundation is trying to tackle through increased focus on youth empowerment, one of the three pillars highlighted in its three-year strategy. The other two are education and health.
Two weeks ago, on 8th August, it announced a three-year partnership with Generation Kenya to equip unemployed youth aged 18-35 years with the knowledge, skills and tools required to succeed in a job.
Through Wezesha, an economic empowerment programme, Safaricom and Generation Kenya hope to position thousands of youth for personal and professional success by offering intensive job training in five fields: financial services sales, distributed sales, retail and restaurant services, sewing machine operation and customer service.
By targeting youth who, for some reason or other, have been unable to progress their education, and those who have been consistently unable to find employment despite their academic qualifications, Wezesha hopes to be a bridge between job seekers and employers.
"Through working with Generation Kenya, we are looking to provide skilled labor for both the formal and informal sectors. Our ambition is to arm young people with the right knowledge, skills and tools that will help them succeed in the workplace," says Ms. Mulinge.
Generation is a non-profit organisation founded by McKinsey & Company in the United States in 2014, to help bridge the gap between employers and the 75 million unemployed youth around the world. Today, Generation Kenya is active in nine countries including Kenya, Spain, USA, Mexico and India, among others.
Its mission; to empower young people to build thriving, sustainable careers, and to provide employers the highly-skilled, motivated talent they need, therefore creating real business value for employers and lasting career impact for participants.
In Kenya, Generation Kenya has since 2015 graduated over 9,000 youth through 56 training locations distributed across 18 counties. 88 per cent of these youth have been placed in meaningful employment after undergoing training, including Shadrack and Yvonne.
Shadrack heard about the programme from a friend while volunteering at a school in Kajiado last year. Desperate for a job and with nothing to lose, he moved to Nairobi to try his luck, enrolling for an eight-week Retail and Restaurant Services course at Generation Kenya's Koyaro centre in Kibra. Soon after completing his training he was employed as a supervisor at Choppies Supermarket, along Nairobi's Tom Mboya Street.
An entrepreneur displays his wares in front of the Wezesha programme pod at the recent BLAZE BYOB Summit held in Kisumu.
"I did not feel overqualified to take an entry-level job in the supermarket chain. People graduate with big dreams. I was one of those people. But it is not easy to find a perfect job in your field. There is high competition and a tough economic situation in Kenya. There are no jobs," says Okoth.
"What I am doing is directly linked to my educational background: I am a social scientist in the retail industry. Choppies has a department of compliance and enforcement, and I look forward to being the manager in that department to fully utilise my knowledge and skills," he adds.
Generation Kenya has largely relied on word of mouth and testimonials to reach out to the youth, which is how Yvonne learned about it.
She joined the programme in October 2017 and enrolled in the eight-week Sewing Machine Operator course offered at the Africa Apparel Centre in Nairobi. She was hired as a Sewing Machine Operator at the same centre after completing her training, and just two weeks into her job was promoted to the more advanced role of Machine Operator.
According to Generation Kenya, majority of its graduates are employed within 90 days of completing their training, securing job placements from over 300 partner employers. It is stories and statistics such as these that Wezesha hopes to ride on to deliver a sustainable solution to Kenya's youth unemployment problem.
"Our partnership with Safaricom Foundation is critical in helping Generation Kenya grow its impact, reach more youth and grant them opportunities to learn skills and secure employment. With respect to this partnership, we will work with them to mobilize, screen and register 1,600 students aged 18-35 over the next three years, and ensure at least 90 per cent of students are placed into meaningful employment," says Ramakrishnan Hariharan, Generation Kenya's CEO.
Employment is just one element of the solution. The Safaricom Foundation has also identified entrepreneurship as a way out of poverty for Kenya's youth, complementing an analysis by the World Bank indicating that more young people aspire to become entrepreneurs.
To address the mismatch between the youth's entrepreneurial aspirations and opportunities available to them to turn these aspirations into reality, the foundation plans to work with more partners to support youth entrepreneurship and address constraints such as lack of access to start-up financing, exposure to networks, managerial and entrepreneurial skills, apprenticeships and limited information and capacity to take advantage of youth-focused government funds.
It's a small step towards solving one of Kenya's biggest economic policy challenges, but for the 55 per cent of youth who remain unemployed (according to the Aga Khan University's Kenya Youth Survey Report, 2016), it could be a step towards a future that has so far seemed out of reach.

Q: Is there for every imperative algorithm a pure functional equivalent within the same space and time complexity class? Based on my personal experience I would suppose, the answer is no.
Take mutable arrays, for instance. It seems, that there are certain problems that can be most efficiently solved by using mutable data structures with random access, i.e. arrays. You could use a different data structure like a dictionary (map in F#), that is compatible with a functional approach, but than you won't have random access and the efficiency of your algorithm will be worse by the factor log n.
In some rather rare cases it might also be not only convenient but also more efficient to use aliasing for being able to access the same data structure in different ways. But aliasing is also not compatible with the immutability of the funcitonal approach.
Examples like this would suggest, that the pure functional approach can't be in all cases as efficient as the imperative one. Of course I know, that functional languages are Turing-complete, but I don't remember the proof well enough to judge, if it also tells us something about time and space complexity. So what do we know about this from a theoretical perspective? Is my assumption right?

A: Short answer is yes. Functional data structures are less effective:

*

*Map and Set are trees and rely on comparison, not hashcode. Hence log(n)

*List does provide you same API as mutable array, but it's a linked list. Hence log(n) for random access.

However, it's a known trade off for an immutability - it's cheaper to "replace" 1 element in immutable linked list, since you have to update only 1 element and reuse the rest of it, while if you want an immutable array, you'll have to fully copy it.
So FP is more about stable code, predictable behavior and high development speed. However, most parts of system aren't critical in terms of performance, so you wouldn't really notice the resource consumption difference between the two, while critical parts can be definitely optimized to use mutable structures.
Since you tagged it, F# is a good language to do so, since it has nice support for both FP and OOP.

A: Pippenger showed that

*

*There is at most a log(n) multiplicative overhead (in a Big-O sense) for an impure program compared to a pure one that operates in n steps.

*There do exist certain problems for which that log(n) factor is in fact necessary.

However, there are some problems of interest where the log(n) factor is not necessary, and also keep in mind that constant factors may be important in real world use cases, too.


Khalil Mack may miss games this season as his holdout continues. Jon Gruden needs to handle the situation quickly.
The Khalil Mack-Oakland Raiders saga has no end in sight. The Raiders, who are declining to give Mack a contract extension, will probably be without Mack for a few games. New Raiders coach Jon Gruden apparently has a lot of say in whether Mack gets the extension or not.
Needing Gruden to sign off essentially has put him in charge of the purse strings when it comes to Mack's extension (or lack thereof), which has apparently been a drag on talks that haven't gotten off the ground. This was a point made forcefully clear by multiple sources – that unless team owner Mark Davis steps in, Gruden has the final say over whatever happens with Mack's deal.
With both sides deadlocked, it seems Mack will miss time this season. The would be a blow to the Raiders and Gruden in particular. Gruden is known as an offensive coach, but he must take care of his best player. A larger contract should be his number one priority. As it is, Gruden, who has final say on contractural matters, seems reluctant to give Mack was he's asking for.
It also doesn't help that Gruden didn't reach out to Mack when he took the job in February. A coach who hasn't coached in 10 years must realize the NFL has embraced transparency with its athletes and their brands.
Relationships matter now more than ever, and it looks as if Gruden didn't care to establish one with his best player. So with August coming to a close and both the Raiders and Mack at a stalemate, Gruden must realize the power is truly in his hands.


If that's what it is, expect some monstrous capability.
The ZR1 is the pinnacle of Chevrolet Corvette performance. There hasn't been a ZR1 variant of the seventh-generation 'Vette just yet, but that might change in a week's time.
Tucked away on the Chevrolet Arabia YouTube page is a video teasing something for Nov. 12. The quick little video features a distinctive V8 burble and a few zoomed-in shots of a car's exterior.
While Chevrolet has yet to confirm anything, it's very likely that this means the Corvette ZR1 will debut on Nov. 12. Rumor has it that the car will make its debut ahead of the Dubai Motor Show, which kicks off on Nov. 14, so the dates line up. It also doesn't help that next month's cover of Car and Driver allegedly leaked, and its cover features -- you guessed it -- the Corvette ZR1, which is reported to pack 750 horsepower. Eat that, Hellcat.
Either way, we'll probably find out more on Nov. 12. Why Dubai, you ask? Well, it wouldn't make much sense to debut a 750-hp, rear-wheel-drive sports car in the early throes of a Michigan winter, now would it?

Fast neutral outflows in nearby radio galaxies: a major source of feedback
R. Morganti, C. Tadhunter, T. Oosterloo, J. Holt, B. Emonts
Onderzoeksoutput › Academic
Abstract: Fast (~1000 km/s) outflows of neutral gas (from 21-cm HI absorption) are detected in strong radio sources. The outflows occur, at least in some cases, at distances from the radio core that range between few hundred parsecs and kpc. These HI outflows likely originate from the interaction between radio jets and the dense surrounding medium. The estimated mass outflow rates are comparable to those of moderate starburst-driven superwinds. The impact on the evolution of the host galaxies is discussed. Note: Comments: 4 pages, 2 figures.

I have recently ordered this filter for my coffee machine for a second time and have found the service given by Finerfilters to be very good.
The Filter Logic FL-901 have been working well in my machine and were cheaper than the Brita version. Happy to recommend the shop too.
I was very pleased with the seller, product and price and would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Крупни́к — українська історична національна страва, юшка з крупами.

Готували крупник на м'ясній юшці або воді — залежно від сезону й достатку господаря. Засипали гречаною, перловою, пшеничною, кукурудзяною крупами так, щоб готова страва мала консистенцію дуже рідкого пюре. Іноді для калорійності додавали одну-дві картоплини. Заправляли смаженою на олії чи салі цибулею, для смаку клали моркву, коріння петрушки, пастернаку, зелень кропу.

Fantastic marathon, splendid weather, wonderful atmosphere: A perfect day.
New Orleans, what a great and festive city!
I wake up at 6 am feeling a bit tired as I walked a lot this week visiting the city of New Orleans. I jog to the start area and get there in half an hour. There are a lot of people there, it's indeed quite a big marathon. I am supposed to start from corral #16 about a half mile away from where I am standing. However, as it's impossible for me to go through the crowd, I decide to stay right where I am and start from there, i.e. from corral #5. We leave in staggered starts and I begin with the 5th group eight minutes after the gun goes off.
I do not feel very well at first. I run calmly but do not breathe easily, and my stride feels heavy. It'll take me five kilometers to fix all this. I reach the fifth kilometer in 30 minutes. At km 8 someone encourages me for the first time today. It's really cool: "Crazy Dave, you're the man!" cheers a woman as she runs past me. I'll get more encouragements during the run.
The first 14 kilometers follow a long out-and-back straight stretch along St Charles Avenue in downtown New Orleans… Lots of ambiance, crowds of people, and music bands playing everywhere. It's really great! I reach km 10 in 01:02. The slower pace I have chosen to keep suits me well. I decide to run on the softer dirt surface of the famous streetcar rail lane to preserve my joints. We wind our way through the levee and the famous French Quarter with its magnificent and colorful houses, beautifully decorated and brightened with plants. I run in front of the golden bronze statue of Joan of Arc, "a gift from the people of France to the City of New Orleans." I swallow up the 15 km in 01:35. We continue on a long avenue lined with oak trees and weeping willows: everything is clean and well-tended. I pass km 20 in 02:07 and finish the half marathon in 02:17.
My pace is slower than usual as this superb course gives me the opportunity to take pictures and videos of the magnificent scenery around me. This marathon turns out to be for me like a beautiful hike and I take time to enjoy everything that I see around me. We continue towards the huge New Orleans City Park, where the finish line lies. But first we have to run around the park and head north to the shores of Lake Ponchartrain, an immense body of water lined with palm trees. The scenery is stunning.
I reach km 25 in 02:47 and pass km 30 in 03:30. I have slowed down, no doubt about it, but I enjoy the scenery completely. While passing me, a runner says he has seen me run in Alabama a month ago and congratulates me. Feels good! I reach km 35 in 04:19.
We are back in the huge park to run the last kilometers. I stop to film a huge pelican standing all alone: What a majestic bird! I hear the crowd cheering and encouraging the runners. The finish is not far. I cross the finish line in 5:23:59. I am greeted there by my friend Eddy and his girl-friend Nathalie who came from France specially to support me! A real treat!
I get to drink a well-deserved refreshing beer, courtesy of the organization of the marathon. I really deserve it!
I stay for a while in the finish area in the park to enjoy this memorable moment. Then I slowly walk back to the hotel.
I absolutely recommend this marathon that will be on my top 10 marathon list. I'll need to fully rest next week as I walked too much during the past couple of days. But I could not help it as I wanted to experience and immerse myself in the ambiance of this very atypical city.
Let's meet next Saturday for a fast, flat ocean marathon course on Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Entrepreneurs: The Arrivals' Kal Vepuri & Jeff Johnson

How did two guys, an architect and a serial entrepreneur, come to launch one of the coolest outerwear brands around? Find out in our interview with The Arrivals founders Kal Vepuri, left, who's invested in Warby Parker, Harry's, Reformation and Makerbot, and former architect Jeff Johnson.
We were inspired to start The Arrivals when…
KV: We happened to go to the 2013 Sweetlife Festival when Jeff was visiting the U.S. on a weekend trip from Amsterdam (he was working at UNStudio at the time ). We had always believed that the creative individual lacked authentic brands that aligned with their enthusiasm and ethos. While at the festival we decided that we wanted to create something unique in the apparel category that blended the merits of an architectural design approach with an online, direct-to-consumer retail model. About six months later, The Arrivals was born. We continue to be inspired by the creative community to develop elevated, high quality outerwear and offer it at an honest price.
The inspiration behind the name..
JJ: Our team is represented by a cross section of the creative community, consisting of architects, engineers and designers. Technically speaking, an arrival simply means the emergence or appearance of a new development, phenomenon or product. This resonated with our team (largely being industry outsiders) and was aligned with our mission to redraft outerwear by creating beautifully crafted garments that The Arrivals community loves with a value proposition not previously seen in the outerwear category.
JJ: We were connected in 2007 by our respective girlfriends at the time (who were friends), when I moved from San Diego to NYC to pursue an MA in Architecture at the Pratt Institute. We found common ground over music, design and technology and have been friends ever since.
Most exciting part about owning your own business…
KV: Each day poses a new set of challenges and opportunities. We've heard it compared to having a child and we'd agree that it's a challenge and responsibility that lives and breathes. Hopefully if we raise it well, it'll be around long enough to impress us all with what it can achieve, who it can inspire and what it will teach the people who know it.
And the most challenging…
JJ: Like anything you love, it can be all-consuming at times.
And how we overcome the above…
KV: Celebrate the wins and try to enjoy all the portions in between.
When starting a company, you must…
KV: Surround yourself with people who are smarter, more hungry, more resourceful and more talented than you.
And never be afraid of…
JJ & KV: Trusting your gut.
To be a good leader…
JJ: Communicate constantly and distribute your vision constantly. Involve individuals in your thoughts, questions, hypotheses and concerns… it will keep them interested, aligned and excited for the road ahead.
Best business advice we've received…
KV: Don't worry about always making great decisions, just focus on making every decision great — from Naveen, our sage Head of Operations.
JJ: We wake up every day inspired by up-and-coming creatives willing to forgo the status quo to do what they love. Through collaborations, experiences and contributions we're looking forward to giving back to this incredible community!

Japanese Acrolink's second ranked RCA cable in its Mexcel line, second only to the much more expensive DA6100 but delivering so much of the same performance that it is virtually impossible to tell them apart in a blind test. Marketed in the U.S. and Europe under the Esoteric name. Beautifully made, slightly to the rich warm side of absolutely neutral but extremely transparent. A great buy at this price. 9/10 only because used. Deluxe multiple boxes, raising the shipping weight to 4 lbs.

Nigeria prospect Dessers named Dutch Eredivisie Player of the Month
Taiye Taiwo
The 24-year-old who admitted to talks with the Super Eagles over his international future scored six goals in the Dutch top-flight last month
Heracles' Nigerian forward Cyriel Dessers has won the Dutch Eredivisie Player of the Month award for November.
Dessers who is the leading scorer in the Netherlands with 11 goals, scored six goals in four league outings in the month under review.
Speler vd Maand 🎖🥳 #eredivisie pic.twitter.com/wtN4XXHIOm
— Cyriel Dessers (@CyrielDessers) December 4, 2019
The 24-year-old scored a hat-trick against VVV Venlo on November 9 and gave Heracles a consolation goal in their 4-1 defeat to Ajax on November 23.
Seven days later, he grabbed a brace that helped the Polman Stadion outfit romp to a 4-0 win over ADO Den Haag.
Dessers is enjoying a fine start to life in the city of Almelo since his arrival from Utrecht in July and has been directly involved in 16 goals in the league, including five assists.
Born in Belgium to a Nigerian mother, the 24-year-old is eligible to play for the Super Eagles at international level and has disclosed on-going talks with the Nigeria Football Federation over switching his allegiance to the African nation.
"There's already been contact with the NFF. After the match against ADO Den Haag (last Saturday), an official from Nigeria sent me a message that I was doing well," Dessers told Sporza.
"But it's not going to be easy for me there either – there are over 300m Nigerians worldwide.
"I have never been to Nigeria because of the political situation there. It was slightly better last year so I'll be twice as happy if I can get an invite, even if it's a friendly against Madagascar or Mauritius."

Abstract: Toddlers exhibit difficulty transferring information from video to real-world events (Anderson & Kirkorian, 2016; Troseth, 2010) due to the mismatch between encoding and retrieval contexts (Barr, 2013). Infants transfer more easily within one context (video to video) than across contexts (video to real-world) when learning is assessed in a single trial (Zack et al., 2009). However, it remains unknown whether contextual similarity would help or hinder learning when toddlers need to update mental representations across multiple trials (i.e., when they must inhibit memory of previous trials to succeed on the current trial).
We examined the role of retrieval contexts across multiple trials in an object-retrieval task. Toddlers (27-35 mos, N=42) were asked to either (a) watch hiding events on a tablet and find the hidden objects on a felt board (between-context; n=22) or (b) watch the same hiding events on the tablet but find the objects on another tablet (within-context; n=20). We also assessed receptive vocabulary and visual-spatial working memory (WM; Spin-the-Pots). Based on prior research, we hypothesized that the within-context group would perform better than the between-context group on the initial trial. If contextual similarity supports learning despite the interference from prior search events, the facilitative effect of within-context condition would persist across trials, and WM would predict learning only in the more cognitively demanding between-context condition. Alternatively, if contextual similarity increases the competition between representations, the facilitative effect would decrease over time, and WM would predict learning regardless of condition.
Consistent with prior research, the within-context group outperformed the between-subject condition during earlier trials (β01 = 1.73, SE= 0.70, p<.05). However, the effect was reversed in later trials (β02 = -1.14, SE= 0.35, p<.001; Figure 2). This drop in the within-context condition was primarily due to increased perseverative errors. That is, toddlers in the within-context condition often searched the location from the previous rather than the current trial. Additionally, even after controlling for age and vocabulary, WM was a significant predictor of search performance regardless of condition (β02 = 0.99, SE= 0.43, p <.05).
These results suggest that transferring information from screens is cognitively demanding for toddlers, as indicated by better performance as working-memory skills increase. Also, reducing contextual differences may facilitate transfer initially but disrupt transfer later on by making it more difficult for children to distinguish between different mental representations. Future research should consider the contexts of transfer to support learning from media.
Abstract: The roles of 'knowledge and power' and 'knowledge as power' in development have been increasingly gaining the attention of critical scholars as well as policy practitioners. While the former seek to articulate the way in which (global) development is constituted through power struggles which also entail struggles over knowledge in development, the latter tend to misapprehend both. That is, the discourses of development they construct render invisible that development has been historically a continuously contested practice. This is evident for example, in the continued deployment of the comparative method in the theory and practice of mainstream development analysis. Methodologically, such approaches reify spatial boundaries and operate with a temporal logic that necessarily subordinates alternative conceptions of development to that of 'past time' in terms of a temporalisation as 'past, prior or primordial'. A consequence of this is the foreclosure of the possibility of articulating social struggles in challenge of the politics underpinnings this spatio-temporal fix. This paper argues that a critical engagement of this dynamic with reference to the dialectic between 'knowledge and power' and 'knowledge as power' in struggles over development can render visible the analytical and practical tensions that ensue under a continued legacy of colonial /postcolonial thinking within a reconfigured 'international' political economy of global development.
Abstract: The goal of this study was to theorize and empirically test network models of organizational member?s information retrieval from their colleagues and digital knowledge repositories (e.g. intranets and databases). Based on the Multi-theoretical Multilevel (MTML) framework (Contractor, Wasserman & Faust, 2006; Monge & Contractor, 2003), this study applied and extended 3 social science theories (transactive memory, public goods, and social contagion) to examine team members? information retrieval networks. Empirical data were collected from 9 organizational work teams in Western Europe. A cutting-edge social network analysis technique, Exponential Random Graph Modeling/p* analysis, was conducted to test the hypotheses. The results found that team members had the greatest tendency to retrieve information from those colleagues whom they perceived to be knowledgeable and accessible. In addition, team members? information retrieval from digital knowledge repositories was greatly influenced by social contagion effects. As one of the original research using a multi-theoretical perspective to examine multidimensional information retrieval networks, this study has important implications for theoretical development, methodological applications, and managerial practices.
Abstract: Seventy-two children, ages 30 and 36 months, participated in a hide-and-seek object-retrieval game in one of three conditions: 1) playing an interactive computer game; 2) observing a video; or 3) watching an adult find the hidden characters through a one-way mirror. After exposure, children searched for the three characters in a playroom designed to look just like the room in the game. Children who played the interactive computer game and watched the live demonstration performed significantly better on the search task than children who observed the video. The results suggest that children's learning from a screen can be improved by contingent, interactive experiences with media. These findings can help producers create online games that facilitate children's skills at linking what they do on a screen to real-life experiences.
Abstract: College students witnessed a videotaped theft, provided a cued-recall report of the theft in response to difficult or easy questions, attempted a photo-lineup identification, and, answered confidence-related questions. Regardless of whether the thief was present or absent in the lineup, choosers reported less identification confidence and more challenging viewing and identification experiences when the memory test was difficult compared to easy. This supports the cue-belief model that asserts that eyewitnesses' beliefs about face recognition are informed by intrinsic meta-memory cues. As in other domains, subjective retrieval difficulty apparently served as a cue about a self-belief, in this case quality of memory about the criminal.


LSE is a very competitive university, people are very career and goal driven. This was a cultural shock for me since my high school and sixth form were not that competitive.__But I also think LSE is a socially active university since it's a small campus. Although you do need to make an effort with that. If you're not involved in societies or the AU, there aren't that many events or social gatherings that bring people together.

Once a tree has been removed it may be a requirement to remove the stump as well. This would then allow eventual re-planting of a tree in the same location or allow for re-landscaping of the site. Stump grinding removes the root bowl and the main lateral roots to an approx depth of 400mm depending on the ground conditions. We have a range of machines available; the smaller one is only 0.65m wide; this will fit through most doorways and access passages.
If you have a question about stump grinding or any of our other services, call Rob Lee on 01275 393047.

These travelogues are tales of movement and change. Don't expect standard travel blog content in this section; I tend to write more obliquely, and dig into local history and culture a little more than usual. I am also fairly loose with my definition of "travel", for life itself is a journey, and a travelogue is simply a record of experiences now shared.
