Nicholas Proffet (n.d.)
A Constant Attendee of the Westminster Assembly of Divines
His Works:
Englands impenitencie under smiting (1645) by Nicolas Proffet
Biography of Nicholas Proffet:
Nicholas Proffet was one of the Assembly of Divines at Westminster. His name is both in the ordinance of Parliament for calling that Assembly, and also in the list of those divines who met there. And, in Neal's list, he is marked as giving constant attendance during the session. He was sometime rector of Peter's in Marlborough, in the county of Wilts. He was in Marlborough, when he was appointed by the Parliament to sit in the Assembly of Divines at Westminster. In the year 1644, it is said, that he was then Minister of Edmonton, and of Middlesex, in the neighbourhood of London, and a convenient place for attending the Assembly.
Mr Proffet has published a very good and seasonable sermon, which is entitled, "England's Impenitence under Smiting, Causing Anger to Continue, and the Destroying hand of God to be stretched forth still;" a sermon preached from Isai. ix. 13. before the honourable House of Commons, at a Public Fast, Sept. 25, 1644. 4to. pp. 4B. London, 1645. He was also the author of a very judicious Epistle, which was prefixed to this sermon, and addressed to the honourable House of Commons. 4to. pp. 4. Both this sermon and the epistle were again printed at Dumfries, in the year 1799, and dispersed through the south of Scotland, and in several parts of England and Ireland, and very highly esteemed by some persons. The author of these Memoirs has a number of the copies of this valuable sermon in hand, price 6d. He is sorry, upon reading the sermon, that he cannot give any farther account of Mr Nicholas Proffet.

Mark Edberg, Ph.D., M.A. Associate Professor, Department of Prevention and Community Health, with secondary appointments in the Department of Anthropology and Elliott School of International Affairs.
Dr. Edberg is currently principal investigator (PI) and director of the Avance Center for the Advancement of Immigrant/Refugee Health (Avance Center), an exploratory research center on health disparities with recent funding from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIH), and current funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) -- addressing the co-occurrence of substance abuse, youth violence, and sexual risk, and engaging in obesity prevention.. He is also founder and director of the Center on Social Well-Being and Development (CSWD), under which there is currently a working relationship with UNICEF, and current/recent projects in Ghana, Indonesia, South Africa, Jamaica, Belize, and a U.S. immigrant community.
A cultural anthropologist with a focus on public health (domestic and global), Professor Edberg is particularly knowledgeable about how poverty and marginalization intersect with key health issues, such as HIV/AIDS, substance use and youth violence. A researcher and consultant with strong interests in theory and in developing and evaluating prevention programs, Dr. Edberg says, "It has been my goal to contribute whatever I can to bridging the gap between the public health approach to these challenges and the ways in which affected populations understand and frame their relationship to a specific issue." He has done field or project work in urban North America, Mexico, Panama, Central America, Jamaica and elsewhere in the Caribbean, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana and other countries. He retains a strong interest in immigrant and refugee populations, collaborating closely with organizations and residents in the Hispanic/Latino and Southeast Asian communities.
Professor Edberg is trained in qualitative research methods as well as mixed methods approaches, and has experience in program design, implementation and evaluation, community participatory research methods, social marketing, mass media and public information, all essential tools to avoid the cultural roadblocks that sometimes impede effective public health efforts. As well, he is a working musician and founder of The Furies, a modern rock band that plays original music in the DC area (www.furiesmusic.com), and its recent offshoot, the Black Shag Sherpas (www.blackshagsherpas.com).
Dr. Edberg is currently principal investigator (PI) and director of a new Exploratory Research Center on Latino Immigrant/Refugee Health Disparities, funded by the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (at NIH), focusing on the co-occurring disparities of substance abuse, youth violence, and sexual risk. He is also director of a recently chartered SPHHS center called the Center on Social Well-Being in the Latin America-Caribbean Region, under which there is currently a working relationship between UNICEF-Belize and GWU for work in support of children, youth and family initiatives in that country. He also currently serves as PI on an effort (with a consulting organization, DSG, Inc.) to develop a theoretical framework and program/evaluation model for all populations served by the Administration for Children, Youth and Families (within DHHS). Recently, he was PI on a CDC grant to address, through a pilot intervention, community factors related to youth violence in the Washington-area Latino community, Co-PI on a related CDC grant examining gender violence in the same community, Co-PI for a CDC effort to understand connections between macroeconomic factors and youth violence, Co-PI on an evaluation of a project intended to prevent trafficking/sexual exploitation, and recently a community assessment evaluator on an HIV/AIDS and TB-related effort. Previously, he served as Co-PI on a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) grant that examined substance use and HIV/AIDS risk among Southeast Asian populations; he was also involved in a related study focusing on domestic violence in the same communities. Before that, Dr. Edberg was Co-PI on other NIDA-funded research assessing HIV/AIDS and substance use among drug users, runaway youth and other high-risk populations. Dr. Edberg also directed an effort to develop an evaluation system for all grant programs funded by the U.S. Office of Minority Health (DHHS), and to implement that system, followed by a project with the same agency to develop a strategic framework for elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities. In addition, he provided, and continues to provide, evaluation consultation for UNICEF Latin America-Caribbean region. Specifically, the more recent of these projects are:

Avoid costly plumbing bills by being kind to your toilet
Mary LeBlanc Realty Team
Share Tweet Pin LinkedIn Flipboard EMAIL
Whether you refer to it as the loo, throne, potty or John, your toilet isn't quite as indestructible as you may think. Sure, "toilets have an unlimited lifespan," according to the National Association of Homebuilders, but only if the components inside the tank are maintained properly and leaks are attended to promptly.
Let the maintenance slide, however, and you can plan on spending an average of nearly $200 for repairs, according to homeadvisor.com. If you need to replace the whole thing, you'll have a bill of about $375, but it could run as high as almost $900.
So, add a "potty check" to your list of routine home maintenance chores and then be kind to the contraption. It will save you money in the long run.
Check the toilet for leaks
One of the most common toilet repairs, according to Ted O'Brien, with O'Brien Plumbing in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, is replacing the wax ring. "The wax ring is a gasket that seals the connection of the toilet bowl to the floor," he explains. As the ring ages (it's life span is typically between five and 10 years), it deteriorates, allowing water to seep from the toilet bowl.
A wax ring is inexpensive – as little as $3.50. Sure, the plumber will charge to install it, but what you'll pay now is a lot less than if you don't notice the leak and it continues, rotting the subfloor beneath and around the toilet.
A nasty odor is one of the first signs of a leaking wax ring. Odors can also occur from clogged drains, so further inspection may be necessary to determine the true cause. During your maintenance check, inspect the caulking around the base of the toilet to ensure that it's still in good condition. Look for stains on the floor and, if the bathroom is upstairs, check the ceiling in the room below for signs of water damage. Step on the floor around the toilet. If it feels spongy, you may have a leak.
Check the tank's components
The toilet won't stop running – an all too common complaint that plumbers receive. Truthfully, however, it's an easy problem to diagnose, according to the experts at familyhandyman.com. "There are really only two main parts: the flush valve, which lets water gush into the bowl during the flush; and the fill valve, which lets water refill the tank after the flush. When a toilet runs constantly or intermittently, one of these valves is usually at fault."
Figuring out which valve is the culprit is easy as well, they say, and offer a photo tutorial on the website. If water is going into the overflow tube, suspect a defective fill valve. If, on the other hand, "the water level is below the top of the tube, the flush valve is leaking, allowing water to trickle into the bowl. . .preventing the fill valve from closing completely."
O'Brien recommends that homeowners perform a quick visual inspection of the interior of the toilet tank every six months. Remove the lid and flush the toilet. Watch each component, ensuring that the flapper seals adequately and the fill valve fills to the appropriate water level.
Don't use the toilet as a trash can
Plumbers find all number of items clogging pipes, from children's toys to "flushable kitty litter" (which, it turns out, isn't really flushable after all) and many enter the pipes via the toilet.
Avoid a visit from the plumber by avoiding flushing stuff that shouldn't be flushed ("flushable" wipes, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, cigarette butts, etc.) Keep toddlers out of the bathroom as they have a habit of throwing things into the "potty" to watch them disappear.
Plumbers recommend that nothing but human waste and toilet paper be flushed down the toilet. "If it doesn't break down in water, it's not going to break down in the toilet," warns Eric Corbett, owner of Larry and Sons Plumbing in Hagerstown, MD.
Feed the drainage system
"Consumer Reports says biological drain cleaners are useful at keeping drains free of organic material as long as pipes aren't clogged," according to Karen Gardener of The Frederick News- Post. Enzyme-based drain cleaners help dissolve soap scum, wads of hair and other substances that can build up and cause clogs. You can find these products online at Amazon.com and also at large home improvement stores.
Routine home maintenance is one of the less attractive aspects of homeownership. Ignore it, however, and you'll likely end up spending obscene amounts of money to repair or replace what you fail to maintain.

Here are the Top Five Problematic Tactics that are EXCLUSIVE Within the Animal Liberation Movement. ICAS, which is made up of activist-scholars, is proud of promoting total liberation and intersectionality in the animal liberation movement. Here are some small and larger complex tactics that can exclude people from the cause. We bring this up, not to point fingers, but rather aid in developing successful inclusive social movements.
1. HIJACKING OTHER SOCIAL MOVEMENT EVENTS and promoting another movement, rather than focusing on the issue the event was created for. This is exploitative and domineering to take up space and place in this manner.
2. BEING SILENT for a time period of a week, month, or even a year, takes great privilege, not struggle. It is almost impossible to be silence for a minute not to even suggest a day for the working-class. Those in the workforce being silent can get one fired, especially for a year.
3. ORGANIZING A MARCH is problematic as not everyone can march, walk up stairs, or move long distances. Many disability activists are calling on social movements to do events on flat accessible ground and note at the beginning of the march or ROLL to have those with disabilities and those that might be elderly or with children up front to establish the speed of the procession.
4. USE OF METAPHORS in social movements simplify always unique experiences. Further, to foster simplistic metaphors with imagery at an event, without explaining the complexities of oppression and the dependent socio-political climate variables, can be problematic. Therefore, many oppressed groups often feel offended when their experience or historical related experience is used to explain and capture the sympathy of another movement.
5. SUPPORTING PUNITIVE JUSTICE supports also a racist and classist, criminal justice system that needs to be reformed if not completely transformed. To promote jails is to promote the history of prisons, which came about after 1865 in the U.S., which was the end of the Civil War and the signing of the 13th Amendment, which allows for slavery, if someone is duly convicted of a crime, meaning all people in prison.

Q: why do we use signed and unsigned char datatype? Whats the purpose? Why do we use signed and unsigned char datatype?
A char can not be a +ve or -ve.
last bit is signed bit in accumulator.but not useful for CHAR
Whats the purpose? of doing it.
can we say char is nothing but coasted int ?

A: While the char data type is commonly used to represent a character (and that's where it gets its name) it is also used when a very small amount of space, typically one byte, is needed to store a number. A signed char can store a number from -128 to 127, and an unsigned char can store a number from 0 to 255. When used to represent a character, however, you're correct that signed or unsigned is irrelevant.
By "coasted", I assume you meant to type "casted". char is not simply another type of int, as it can store a much smaller range of numbers. For instance, while an int can store the number 1,000, a char cannot.

Promoting Social Responsibility Initiatives Can Help Brands Connect With Gen Z Consumers
Published Date December 6, 2019
Gen Z is on the loose. Now nearing their mid-twenties, Gen Z is surfing, swiping, buying and starting to make a big impression. Born in 1995, Gen Z is more than 66 million strong in the U.S., the most diverse generation in history and will represent more than 40% of all consumers by 2020. Gen Z is also very savvy and very particular – similar to their Millennial neighbors – about who they will spend their money with, favoring brands with a strong message of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Some business leaders believe a robust, built-in CSR policy is the only way forward for brands that want to reach Gen Z.
The New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, said "Doing good is no longer a matter of writing a few checks at the end of the year, as it was for my [Baby Boomer] generation; for many young people, it's an ethos that governs where they work, shop and invest."
Brands Must Take CSR Seriously To Reach Younger Consumers
Among younger consumers, there is a fair amount of skepticism, including the role of businesses in society. Gen Z, in particular, looks at the world with a side-eye stemming from having grown up amid recessions, fractured politics and often unexpected job transitions for their Gen X parents, leading to decreased trust in businesses.
However, businesses can reach wary Gen Z consumers by embracing strong CSR as part of competitive growth strategies and not just half-measure initiatives trotted out a few times a year or designed to distract from a crisis. According to a young Gen Z student cited in a PRDaily article, whether it's a specific issue or larger company values, Gen Z knows when a company isn't being sincere. "What I understand is actual commitment to something," said that 22-year-old student in New York City. "One thing I get really turned off by is when it appears that what [companies] are trying to promote or what they are saying is not aligned with their actions. Commitment, action, follow-through and transparency matter to me."
These CSR preferences by Gen Z align with those of Millennials, who expect to see more gender equality in business leadership, want to witness ethical practices in fashion and, in general, favor companies that incorporate CSR into their corporate cultures and business models.
Younger Consumers Will Buy From Brands They Perceive As Socially Responsible
According to The Deloitte Global Millennial Survey, "Millennials and Gen Zs, in general, will patronize and support companies that align with their values… Many say they will not hesitate to lessen or end a consumer relationship when they disagree with a company's business practices, values or political leanings." Among Millennials 42% have "begun or deepened" their relationships with businesses they believe have positive impacts in society or the environment, and 37% have abandoned or retreated from companies they didn't believe were ethical.
Gen Z, although more liberal than prior generations, is pragmatic and keenly interested in authenticity regardless of political affiliation. A report by McKinsey states, "Consumers increasingly expect brands to 'take a stand.' The point is not to have a politically correct position on a broad range of topics. It is to choose the specific topics (or causes) that make sense for a brand and its consumers and to have something clear to say about those particular issues." Once Gen Z consumers feel confident a brand is authentic and has ethics aligned with their own, they are more likely to give that brand their business. In fact, 70% of Gen Z consumers try to buy from companies they consider ethical, and 65% try to ascertain the origins of products they are buying.
Many Companies Have Successfully Incorporated CSR Into Their Business Model
Certain companies, like Patagonia, have always put CSR at the forefront of their business practices, but more companies are beginning to take action. Ikea is on a mission to "become 100% circular," turning waste into functional products, and they also have a foundation that works with communities in crisis, providing water and electricity. Ikea's CSR fits with their audience, which is typically young and European, both groups committed to buying from value-based brands. "By taking responsibility and working together, we can make a true change. We have a long-term perspective and the financial strength to invest in activities that will benefit both the planet and our own business future," said Torbjörn Lööf, CEO at Inter IKEA, when speaking about the brand's push to become climate positive.
Although committed to making ethical, value-based purchases, Gen Z is also open to companies that have made mistakes if the course correction feels authentic, because despite their inherent skepticism and nerves about the future, Gen Z is trying to be optimistic. By buying from – and working for – brands and companies that have strong value-centered messages, Gen Z can have a measure of control over the future. Brands should recognize that Gen Z preference in their marketing efforts and corporate culture initiatives if they want to experience long-term success with our youngest consumer generation.

Japanese soldier, three others, injured by rampaging bear
By Mari Yamaguchi, The Associated Press
A bear shot dead is carried in Sapporo, northern Japan, Friday, June 18, 2021 after running loose all night in the city. It wounded four people, entered a military camp and disrupted flights at the airport Friday before being shot and killed by authorities. (Yohei Fukai/Kyodo News via AP)
TOKYO (AP) — Chased by a car after going on a rampage that injured three people, a wild brown bear crossed a busy road, forced its way onto a military camp in northern Japan and attacked a Japanese soldier on guard duty.
Footage on local television showed the bear wandering a street in Sapporo. After a car began to speed after it, the bear crossed a busy road and forced its way into the Ground Self-Defense Force's Camp Okadama. The bear knocked down a uniformed soldier on duty at the gate.
The soldier suffered cuts to his chest and stomach, but his injuries were not life threatening, according to the Defense Ministry.
The bear, on the the loose all night in a city in northern Japan, also disrupted flights at the airport Friday before being shot and killed by authorities.
The bear was seen wandering through the streets of Sapporo in the early hours of Friday, triggering a number of calls to police. Over the next eight hours, Hokkaido prefectural police said the bear injured a woman in her 80s, a man in his 70s and a man in his 40s before attacking a soldier.
Police said the condition of those injured was not known, but the Asahi newspaper reported that the man in his 40s suffered serious injuries to his chest, back and limbs after he was mauled by the bear while walking on the street.
After attacking the soldier, the bear ran through the camp and intruded onto the runway at a nearby airport, causing several flights to be grounded.
The bear then ran into a forest, where it was shot by local hunters.
Toshihiro Hamada, an official at Sapporo city environmental department, said the bear's presence in town was a surprise and officials were investigating how the animal ended up in town.
"We are sorry that four people were injured," Hamada said.
Brown bears roam mainly in Hokkaido forests, but experts say they have been increasingly spotted in inhabited areas looking for food, especially during the summer.

Regular further training opportunities for ad hoc interpreters.
Enhancing intercultural competencies of all employees.
Deploying multilingual employees who have been trained in ad hoc interpreting has proven to be a successful approach, as positive experiences with internal interpreting services have shown. This course of action makes use of the available resources, simultaneously acknowledging the abundance of linguistic competencies. It benefits patients/clients or customers who depend on language mediation since it ensures their access to information, care and equal treatment. At the same time institutions save time and money when providing their services, care and counselling because the language transfer helps prevent inappropriate, inadequate or too intensive care.
During the TRICC project, The Netherlands conducted interviews with and provided trainings for General Practitioners. They were trained to enhance their knowledge and skills regarding consultations with migrants in which language barriers arise.
Generally, the use of formal interpreters is being seen as 'best practice' to bridge language barriers. Nevertheless it is obvious that the choice for an interpreter depends on the specific situation and the wishes of the patient. We therefore think a contextual approach with regard to interpreting issues is needed, in which flexible solutions are being sought to for the specific situation. This means realistic choices are being made by care provider and patient based on their needs and possibilities. The use of a good interpreter is (cost) effective and efficient, which leads to better care and therefore less visits to the care provider. It is better to invest in the first consultation with an interpreter, in order to shorten the visits afterwards because a good translation enables an accurate diagnosis. Some patients will be better off with a formal interpreter, whereas others will benefit from an informal interpreter (e.g. family member or close friend). Sometimes the care provider will have to search for an ad hoc solution like asking a bilingual colleague to facilitate the consultation. It becomes clear that according to us each patient has a right to a specific, contextual approach in bridging the language barrier. Within interpreted consultations, special attention is needed for the use of children as interpreters. This can not be tolerated, since they are vulnerable and the responsibility that comes along with the task is too much for them. It can often lead to parentification which may cause traumatic experiences. Because of the importance of interpreting, the Dutch government needs to continue to provide interpreter services for care providers. Moreover, she can improve the interpreter facilities and create more awareness of the possibilities among care providers. Further, health and social care institutions are recommended to provide abilities for their employees to work with interpreters, like making policies about bridging language barriers and provide proper equipments (telephone with loudspeaker).
Since the training 'Overbruggen van taalbarrieres in de zorg' turned out to be effective, it is advised to transfer the concept of the training for other target groups in social and health care (e.g. physicians, nurses, paramedics). The training offers useful knowledge and skills to transfer powerless feelings with regard to language barriers into powerfull performance in a fun way. Forum theatre activates the participants because it is not prescriptive and it therefore invites the audience to experiment with new behavior in a safe and non judgmental environment. Trainings with the use of this technique are adequate for all professions in health and social care and beyond. Not only can forum theatre be used for interpreting issues, but for a great number of subjects (like creating rapport, improving listening skills, shared decision making etc.). At the moment, plans are being made to develop and implement these courses for countries across Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany). All these forms of 'best practices' will hopefully find their way to teachers from secondary and higher vocational education and universities. In that way forum theatre can be implemented in a broad domain.
When migrants come to the Netherlands, they learn a new language. Some of them will come to realize the profit of multilingualism. This can inspire them to investigate their informal interpreting qualities and to increase them through education. What may have been an obligation to family members at first can now be done professionally: formal interpreting. Another option for them is to use their bilingualism in their own profession, like the trainings in Germany and UK have shown within the TRICC-project. In the Netherlands this approach can be adopted within 'civic integration courses' for migrants. Attention can be paid to the surplus of multilingualism and to how these qualities can be used for different targets and in various settings. This will also contribute to the integration of migrants in society. Obviously it is equally important to train formal interpreters in facilitating bilingual conversations in health and social care. More information can be given about translating medical terms and the structure and procedures of medical consultations.
In conclusion, we can say that language barriers in health and social care need to be bridged by a good interpreter. It is important to understand each other and to build a relation of trust between patient, interpreter and care provider. The use of interpreters contains more than just a transfer of information; above all it has to do with trust and mutual respect. Patient satisfaction is not only determined by medical-technical solutions but also by a good communicative approach. Care providers are more satisfied with their work when they can build a good contact with their patients. In this respect, getting the message across makes all the difference!
If you are interested in the Dutch project results and further recommendations, you can order our Best practice handbook 'Als je niet begrijpt wat ik bedoel', tolken in de zorg at www.mikadonet.nl (only available in Dutch).
Planning tailored and high quality services, promoting innovation, managing new and complex social phenomena, facing changes, are imperatives that migration has brought to the attention of managers, policy makers and administrators involved in the planning and provision of health and social services. Multi-culturality is a recent phenomenon in Italy, particularly in our regional area, and it has been modifying the relationships within the society. The consolidated habits the Italian and local entities were used to, need to be modified and adapted to this new multi-cultural reality. The health professionals' working and relational methods need to be updated accordingly, and proper tools to acquire intercultural competences should be made available. The professional educational curricula do not foresee the enhancement of cultural competences among their disciplines: tailored educational interventions should therefore be planned to help the health staff to increase their cultural competencies, to acknowledge the individual diversities and to consider them an enriching opportunity more than an inconvenience. Focusing on the centrality of the human being should be the starting point, and not the application of a generic "ethical label" to the company policy.
Increasing the cultural competences in the health professionals requires therefore the organisation of short courses for the health professionals: the TRICC experience is a valid and concrete example in this sense. The training initiative experimented in Jesi indicated the effectiveness of a participative and highly interactive method, as the Image and Forum Theatre is, in meeting these educational needs.
As our research and other studies have shown, a considerable (though seemingly declining) number of patients in Turkey face difficulties communicating with health workers, which obviously has a negative effect on the medical care they receive, if they receive any at all. This problem is particularly pronounced in the East and South East of the country, where around a third of the population have minimal proficiency in Turkish, but it also exists in other areas (especially cities like Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Mersin), which over the years have seen an influx of (largely poorly-educated) Kurdish-speaking migrants, as well as immigrants and refugees. Now that most Turkish policy-makers have stopped wilfully denying the multilingual and multicultural realities of Turkish society and the challenges these realities bring, and health-workers have started to address the language issue in health care head on, concrete solutions need to be found, including the provision and training of interpreters.
In the East, an ever-increasing number of medical personnel are 'locals', and non-governmental organisations like the Diyarbakır Chamber of Medicine are striving to encourage these, and other doctors from farther afield, to improve their Kurdish, so that they can be in a position to communicate with patients in that language if need be. All the same, there is still widespread use of untrained ad hoc interpreters, with all the problems this brings, and this situation is unlikely to end in the foreseeable future. For this reason, at the same time as encouraging (or at least tolerating) the efforts of the non-governmental organisations, the state should act to enable citizens to avail themselves of the right to an interpreter granted to them (albeit indirectly and vaguely) in the Regulation on Patients' Rights (1998). (Meanwhile, citizens who find themselves deprived of this right should be encouraged to seek legal recourse based on it, thereby perhaps helping to create legal precedents and thus speed up change!) In the short-term, training similar to that provided by the partners in TRICC could be offered to individuals who currently carry out informal interpreting on a regular basis, provided they have a good knowledge of both languages and are not minors. The trainees could be Kurdish-speaking health-workers, who frequently interpret for their non-Kurdish-speaking colleagues, or young adults from the area. (In Eastern and South Eastern Anatolia, there are a whole host of political, socio-economic and cultural problems, foremost among them mass unemployment, which induce despondency, aimlessness and religious and political extremism in the large young population. Encouraging young people to value their bilingualism and their important role as mediators might give them a greater sense of worth.) Such training would ideally be provided by local universities with faculties of medicine and departments of translation or Kurdish language and literature. These universities should also play a lead role in developing more extensive training for professional community interpreters, who in the future will hopefully do most of the work currently done by informal interpreters. (This said, one would expect that many of those who might choose to become professional interpreters will have previous experience of doing this work on a voluntary basis).
As mentioned above, problems in medical communication are not restricted to Eastern Anatolia but occur across Turkey. What is more, since Turkey will probably change its legislation soon and start granting asylum to applicants from non-European countries (which it currently refuses to do, owing to a geographical limitation it placed on its signing of the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees), it is likely to become a target for even more migrants, who will also require interpretation.
At present, formal interpreting services simply do not exist in the public health sector in Turkey. Much work needs to be done to draw attention to the need for them. The symposium on 'Community Interpreting in Turkey' sponsored by TRICC and held at Boğaziçi University on 22-23 November 2010 was a first step, but interested parties should continue raising the issue, with researchers having an important role in documenting the current state of affairs, analysing the processes and effects of the ad hoc solutions used at present and drawing on experiences from other countries. In conjunction with other stakeholders, they can also initiate a discussion of interpreting ethics and best practice, and help show ordinary citizens and politicians alike that the status quo in medical communication in Turkey is in no one's interest and that a moderate degree of investment, training and professionalization in medical interpreting could make a huge difference.

The following is a list of easily accessible birding spots with a short description of each and a link to a map. Where available, links are also provided to more detailed and extensive descriptions on other websites.
Reclaimed and cleaned up by the Ellerebe Creek Watershed Association, there is a 10-acre pond with associated wetlands and some upland forest. The park is an oasis in the middle of a highly urbanized part of Durham. Year round.
One of the best birding areas near Falls Lake. A peninsula of land between the Flat River and Knap of Reeds Creek at the westernmost end of Falls Lake. Many different habitats including forests, fields, ponds, swamplands, and riparian river bottoms. Year round, but best birded on Sundays during hunting season.
This old bridge, now for pedestrians only, and its environs is a great place for viewing riparian birds, especially warblers in the spring.
Easy walking trails lead to both the 'wooden bridge' and 'concrete bridge' over New Hope Creek. Also a more difficult trail along the creek requires climbing over rock outcroppings. Good forest and riparian habitats. Year round.
This is the best spot to view the center of Jordan Lake. Can be especially good for water birds (sometimes rare ones) fall, winter and spring. Can also be a migrant trap in fall.
Part of the restoration project of the Ellerbe Creek Watershed Association. Forest and riparian habitats in a residential area of northwest Durham. Year round, but especially good in migration, spring and fall.
Fields, forest, and riparian habitat. Good year round, but especially nice in spring for migrants with lots of wildflowers.
Good view of the lake for winter waterfowl, as well as forests (pine and/or deciduous) and beaches. Fall, winter, and spring.
This trail along the Eno River is paved along most of its length, making for easy access. Forest and riparian habitats. Year round.
Near RDU airport. Open water and shoreline can be good for waterfowl and shorebirds late summer through winter. Good spot for migrants, spring and fall.
Under the auspices of the NC Botanical Garden, this is perhaps the most popular birding spot in Chapel Hill. Access requires driving across a ford over Morgan Creek, but except for times of extremely high water, this is passable in most passenger cars. Fields, forests, wetlands. Great year round.
Though small, this is a wonderful park for forest and wetlands birding, especially spring and fall, but also year round. NHAS installed a Chimney Swift tower in the park.
A good place to look for Bald Eagles (year round) and Ospreys (breeding season), especially early morning. Easy hiking trails through woods for land birds. Year round.

The PS5 Is Going to Be Awesome
by Alan Daniel January 29, 2020
written by Alan Daniel January 29, 2020
Behold the Upcoming PS5
Everyone is excited for Sony's latest project. No, I'm not talking about their distribution deal for Morbius, I'm talking about their gaming console, PS5. Yes, it's not only potential customers that are excited about the product, it's also investors, and other stakeholders in the Sony ecosystem. PS5 consoles should be key revenue drivers for the corporation as it is has been looking far and wide for real opportunities to ignite revenue growth.
Remember that with all of this excitement comes rumors and speculation.
All the RAM, SSD, and Improved Performance You Could Ask For and More
A recent leaker, Tidux notes via twitter that those who are loyal to their Playstations should not be dismayed, the upcoming PS5 will be all that and more.
We all know about the rivalry between the Xbox and Playstation consoles. You don't usually buy both, you stick with one. Some state that the Xbox Series X might have improved specifications over Sony's upcoming product. There are those, such as Tidux that dispute this claim.
The lover of video games and nerd culture, notes that he's realized that "the final dev kits for the PS5 are out" and that he notices better overall performance from the PS5.
His tweet, which is full of technical and spec jargon notes that the PS5 and XSX are equal on a CPU basis, but differ on a GPU, RAM, and SSD basis. While the XSX is better from a GPU standpoint, the PS5 is better from a RAM and SSD view.
Other PS5 News
Remember that the next-generation Playstation will be coming to stores near you in the latter half of 2020. Most people concede that Playstation dominates in the home console market but would like to see it extend into the future.
Keep in mind that the PS5 will come with a disc drive and should provide interesting streaming capabilities. Surprisingly, they're working with their rival, Microsoft, on the streaming aspects. According to Sony, there's still a lot that we, the general audience, do not know about the PS5 and will not know until we get closer to the release later this year.
We know that the company will not be present at E3 2020, we've seen that the new DualShock5 controller will have some interesting features, but we still do not know when they will have their launch event.
Of course, we can speculate, the company must coordinate with the game makers in their ecosystem. Meanwhile, they're busy doing behind the scenes work of filing trademarks, copyrights, etc.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with the PlayStation Meeting 2020 event in the meantime. There's a lot to look forward to but issues such as coronavirus is something that we must account for as well. Issues such as this may cause delays in the launch and events surrounding the PS5.

Ocean Park is a neighborhood on Martha's Vineyard that has hosted rich and influential African-Americans for over a hundred years.
The "emperor" is a judge once nominated for the US Supreme, disgraced by his associations with a CIA thug, drug kingpins, and Mafia dons.
Talcott Garland is the professor son left to administer his father's estate and unravel the puzzle of his suspicious death.
If you're waiting for the next John Grisham thriller, check this out. Extremely well written and plotted.
In his triumphant fictional debut, Stephen Carter combines a large-scale, riveting novel of suspense with the saga of a unique family. The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged worlds: the upper crust African American society of the Eastern seabord—families who summer at Martha's Vineyard—and the inner circle of an Ivy League law school.
Talcott Garland is a successful law professor, devoted father, and husband of a beautiful and ambitious woman, whose future desires may threaten the family he holds so dear. When Talcott's father, Judge Oliver Garland, a disgraced former Supreme Court nominee, is found dead under suspicioius circumstances, Talcott wonders if he may have been murdered. Guided by the elements of a mysterious puzzle that his father left, Talcott must risk his marriage, his career and even his life in his quest for justice. Superbly written and filled with memorable characters, The Emperor of Ocean Park is both a stunning literary achievement and a grand literary entertainment.


Q: Is a damp basement an indication of a badly built house?
A: Not always. A recent study conducted on homes all over America found that around 86% of cement block built homes over 25 years old experienced moisture and humidity problems. The National Association of Realtors suggests that, throughout the lifetime of a home, just about all will experience some kind of water problem.
If you believe that your home in IA or NE is experiencing a basement moisture problem, let us help you by providing exceptional basement waterproofing systems.
Q: Will just a little or infrequent water seepage trigger permanent problems?
A: Possibly not. Infrequent basement leaks could possibly be caused by a mixture of weather conditions and weak drainage around your property. When you have water inside your basement after common precautions, then it's most likely time for you to give us a call. Hydrostatic pressure against your basement walls could cause cracking, bowing, even total collapse in extreme instances. Needless to say, any kind of basement water issue influences unfavorably upon the value of your property, to state nothing of its livability.
Q: Will your basement waterproofing systems improve the value of our home?
A: Absolutely! If you sell your home, you are able to offer a clean, dried up basement, guaranteed for the life of the dwelling, regardless of ownership. Money spent for a completely dry basement will pay off in an instant increase in the market value of your property. The large investment in a house requires that you simply prevent leakages by waterproofing a wet basement. Additionally, it is practical to make use of the square footage of your basement as additional living area. It's the most inexpensive spot for you to improve.
Q: Just how long can I delay repairing the foundation?
A: As soon as a foundation starts to fail, it needs immediate attention. The amount of collateral destruction, i.e. cosmetic painting, plumbing, framing which the home encounters is directly related to the length of time the foundation is left untreated. It's critical that you have all foundation cracks and sinking foundation problems evaluated and fixed as soon as you notice that something just isn't right. Doing so may prevent severe structural integrity issues for your home.

Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks May Have a Potential Game 4 Problem Thanks to a Referee
by Phil Watson twitter linkedin on June 29, 2021
While being run off the State Farm Arena floor in the fourth quarter of Game 3, the Atlanta Hawks may have lost more than just the homecourt advantage in the Eastern Conference Finals. Trae Young, who sets the tone for the Hawks on offense, left the game with an ankle injury during the fourth quarter. He returned but was not the same player.
Young had 32 points on 11-of-19 shooting when he went down late in the third quarter. He went back to the Atlanta locker room after leaving the game with 29.3 seconds left in the third period. Though Young did return with 8:44 remaining and the Hawks clinging to a 93–88 lead, the third-year All-Star made just one of his four shots in the fourth quarter. Further, he had no assists and one turnover.
The Milwaukee Bucks stormed back from an early 15-point deficit to take a 2–1 series lead by blowing the Hawks out in the final 7:32 by a margin of 25–7. Of course, injuries are a part of the game, but the source of Young's ankle sprain was unusual.
Trae Young is usually the one breaking the ankles
Since arriving on the NBA scene, Trae Young has been dazzling fans and befuddling opponents with his dizzying moves off the dribble. He excels at setting up his defender off the dribble before blowing by them to the basket. From there, a wide variety of floaters and jumpers are available. Or he can take advantage of a defense shifting to help Young's defender by finding teammates left open.
In his three seasons, Young has broken a lot of ankles with his crossover-blow by combination. Not just the poor defenders, either; Young breaks down the top-tier guys as well.
As for the injury Young sustained in Game 3, it's normal for players to come down on other players' feet. When that happens, ankles often roll or twist as a result. The Brooklyn Nets lost All-NBA guard Kyrie Irving to that very circumstance during their second-round loss to the Bucks.
What happened to Trae Young?
Trae Young was along the baseline during a possession late in the third quarter. Bucks guard Jrue Holiday stole the ball. Young stepped back, out of bounds, and his right foot landed on the right foot of referee Sean Wright. Young went down and left the game at the next whistle.
It's possible Khris Middleton still goes nuclear for the Bucks, whether Young was healthy or not. (Middleton scored 17 of his 38 points during Milwaukee's decisive run to end the game.) But if it's unfortunate when a player is hurt when inadvertently landing on another player, stepping on a referee adds another layer of annoyance, per ESPN.
"It's sore right now. It's hurting, it's frustrating …. I got some treatment on it. I'm going to get some more in the morning. That's all I can do right now, is to get treatment."
An MRI on the off-day between Games 3 and 4 determined Young has a bone bruise in his right foot, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. As a result, he is listed as questionable for Game 4 but plans to give it a go.
The potential impact of the injury

Some players succeed because of their size. Trae Young does so despite it. Just 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, Young, his game predicated on quickness and speed, is just 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds. Not having that burst left Young unable to drive off his right foot the way he usually does.
"Really just my blow-by speed. I mean, that's a big part of my game, is my ability to just blow by anybody. And when you're on the left side, and you're trying to blow by, you got to use your right foot."
Young later made a sarcastic reference to needing "eyes in the back of his head" to steer clear of the referees. Atlanta got out to a 25–10 lead early before the Bucks started chipping away. The lost opportunity for a win at home added to Young's frustration.
"Especially because we had the lead, and we were doing good. We had a lot of momentum on our side. Just a freaky bad accident, and it just happens like that."
The Hawks had stolen the momentum in the series with a Game 1 victory in Milwaukee. Now the Bucks have reclaimed homecourt advantage by winning Game 3 in Atlanta. But the Hawks have six wins on the road in these playoffs, including the series clinchers in the first two rounds.
However, doing that with a banged-up Trae Young might be too much of a mountain to climb.

Serena Williams, with 23 Grand Slam singles titles under her belt, is arguably the greatest female tennis player of all time.
She is right now on a short sabbatical after giving birth to a baby from her fiancé, Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit, and plans to return to competitive tennis with the Australian Open of 2018.
With her striking good looks, Sharapova has done a large number of modelling assignments and endorsements, and was the highest paid female athlete in the world between 20.
The world of tennis has seen some intense rivalries over the last hundred odd years, but none as bitter as the one between Sharapova and Serena.
The same sort of vulnerability perhaps pervades Maria Sharapova's game and psyche when she plays her nemesis, Serena Williams.
Of the 21 times they have played each other, the 30-year-old Russian has lost a mind-boggling 19 times.
Then there were those who battled against the Williams sisters in the '90s, like Martina Hingis, Jennifer Capriati, Lindsay Davenport, Kim Clijsters etc.
A Virat Kohli versus Steve Smith or a Messi versus Ronaldo match-up isn't as intensive or high-stakes as a Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal battle. In one tense Borg-Mc Enroe match, the latter was throwing tantrums after every point, when the Swede called him to the net, hugged him and said, "Relax, John! Let's enjoy it." That was respect for each other's game too.Another star player, Pam Shriver — who played both Evert and Navratilova in dozens of matches — believes that if women's tennis is what it is today, it is because of the 20 straight years of intense, serious rivalries.In the men's game there have been a large number of rivalries that have helped the game grow and prosper.Brad Gilbert, a former tennis great and TV analyst says, "Serena Williams has wiped out the field." With her recent break from tennis, interest in the women's game has therefore waned.Tennis great, John Newcombe once said that at Wimbledon, "Ladies are simply the candles on the cake." Times have changed.


Upper Deck's Third Annual National Hockey Card Day took place on Saturday, February 12, 2011 and thousands of passionate hockey fans throughout Canada braved the cold to visit their local hobby shop or retailer in search of free NHL packs.

Who cares if it is cold outside, the cards are free!
One collector actually baked a cake to celebrate the third birthday of National Hockey Card Day, looks good!
Go Oilers!!! We bet we'll be making cards of this young man someday.
This is really what it is all about, we love this picture!
There's an old saying, "Families that collect together, stay together." Alright, maybe it's not really a saying, but we like the sound of it.
He completed the whole set, great job!

The vertical grain falls along the panels. Kjeld even carried the panels up the shank and into the stem. Those panels taper along the black stem. This pipe has a lot of character and would make a fabulous addition to any collection.


Minutes were reviewed with no issues raised.
(Clerks Claudine Feltham and Beccy Macklen left the meeting whilst this was discussed).
Upon return it was noted that the remuneration was approved.
Match Funding. The likelihood of match funding was discussed. At present we are looking to support the speed reduction project in Ringles Cross, which would cost the parish council approximately £2500. This can be afforded from the Ear Marked Reserves. However, it was noted that the parish council would not be able to afford to take on other match-funded projects without receiving a further increase in the precept in the future.
Cllr Blandford reminded the Committee that the Parish Council were still holding £31,000 within their accounts which had been assigned to go towards the costs of building the New Community Hall. The £31,000 has been considered within the New Community Hall Trusts accounts. It is hoped that the ground works for the new hall would start in the Spring of 2016.
Annual Review of the Effectiveness of Internal Audit – a review of terms of reference against revised edition of 'Governance and Accountability for Local Councils' (verbal report).
The current arrangements for the internal audit were considered to be extremely effective.
The financial regulations do not require a further update at this time, they were considered by the Finance Committee to be appropriate and fit for purpose.
The Risk Assessment was reviewed at the Property Committee in June 2015, and does not require any additional updates at this time.
Buxted Parish Council insurance is in the final year of a 3 year contract, so will be renewed next year.
The annual grants awarded by the parish council will be reviewed at the end of the 2015/2016 financial year, and consideration will be given to a new application process.


A business owner and one of his former employees are under arrest, charged with immoral acts against two young girls, ages 13 and 15.
Kazuo Kuniyoshi, who operates a health delivery service in Naha City, and 33-year-old Sakae Oshiro, were arrested by Naha City Police and charged with paying money for the two girls and taking them to a central Okinawa hotel.
Investigators say the 60-year-old Kuniyoshi and his friend met the girls in downtown Naha. The girls, runaways from a government facility, had been apprehended by police and the teens admitted Kuniyoshi and Oshiro had paid them money for immoral actions at the hotel. One girl told police Oshiro took her to his apartment, where further sexual activity took place.
The girls had met in the facility, police say, and had been engaging in prostitution after escaping from the facility.

Clemson University athletics addresses COVID-19 cases; City finds virus in wastewater
by: Asia Wilson
Posted: Jun 22, 2020 / 09:21 PM EDT / Updated: Jun 22, 2020 / 09:21 PM EDT
CLEMSON, SC (WSPA)–Clemson University is working to keep everyone safe, after learning 28 staff and student-athletes tested positive for COVID-19.
Clemson Athletics said they've been in phase one of a return back to campus plan, where some student-athletes have come back to work out voluntarily. Through a number of physicals, they were able to detect the virus.
"Last week there were a total of 25 positives, so at this point, our total count right now through Clemson athletics, student-athletes, and staff are 28 positive test out of 315 testing completed," said Jeff Kallin, Associate Athletic Director for Communications at Clemson University.
Kallin said 23 of those infected are football players. He tells 7-News those players, and some basketball players have been on campus for voluntary workouts.
"For our school and return to work operations…return to workplace operations, we felt like it was important to have testing. So we actually mandated testing for anyone who wanted to come back in and workout, as part of our return work," Kallin said. "…June 8th was the first day we began doing some physicals which included COVID 19 testing."
All impacted students and staff, and they're closed contacts, have been notified to self-quarantine.
Kallin said those experiencing symptoms, are less than half of the positive cases thus far.
Off-campus, the City is also monitoring the virus. They've found increased levels of COVID-19 in wastewater that came into the Cochran Road Wastewater Treatment Plant.
"The test indicates that we have elevated levels of COVID in that part of town, and it also indicates that many of those people are highly likely to be asymptomatic, and don't even realize their infected," said Andy Blondeau, Clemson City Administrator.
In regards to drinking water, the city said the virus does not survive the process after they test it at their plant. Blondeau said the virus doesn't like chlorine, ozone, or UV, which means it's killed during testing.
The City of Clemson and the university are both taking action.
"Ramping up obviously within our facilities, making sure distancing is enforced, masks are in use whenever possible and that we're continuing to do enhanced cleaning procedures..sanitation procedures," Kallin said.
As questions remain about the return of fall sports, the athletics department said they're focused on stopping the spread of the virus right now.
"We're still really focused on what can we do to make sure a safe atmosphere that we can now," Kallin added.
Clemson University in conjunction with the athletics department, will continue to aggressively monitor COVID-19 and any active cases.
Clemson Athletics communications tells 7-News, the NCAA approved a plan for football summer sport activities and preseason practice. The model plan allows programs to start limited workouts and other activities beginning July 13th. Basketball can start their summer athletic activities on July 20th.
