Pupils at The King's School are looking to help Ottery's community 'live life to the full' and called on leading figures to help them to improve mental health within the town.
Mental health ambassador Ollie Brown spoke at Ottery Town Council about the school's work and asked members to help spread their positive message.
Year 13 student Ollie said: "Teenagers are the group that struggle the most with mental health problems.
"Our job within a secondary school is to make sure people feel as comfortable and as healthy as possible.
He highlighted successful projects like Headlight, which runs peer-support sessions at The Station for young people experiencing emotional distress, but added work still needed to be done as many are still struggling to receive help or diagnosis.
Ollie said: "We want to stop it before it gets to that point. It is well and good trying to fix things once things have gone wrong but it's better to stop things from going wrong in the first place.
Head of PSHE Jo Elliott said students have worked with a number of psychologists and benefited from regular discussions and resources such as cards in their planners to help them if they felt negative.
She said: "It's not just something that is done as a one- off, once a year, it permeates every vein in the King's School.
Town councillors praised Ollie on his presentation and praised his and the school's work.
Headteacher Rob Gammon said: "As a school, we are mindful of the many pressures that young people face as they are growing up. Our curriculum reflects the importance that we place on students' personal development, as well as academic outcomes.

In fact, U.S. support for interventionism abroad in places like Kosovo, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq all garnered more backing from Americans than the proposed military strikes against Syria currently being debated in Washington and across the country. But the question is: Are the People's Representatives listening?
Americans' support for the United States' taking military action against the Syrian government for its suspected use of chemical weapons is on track to be among the lowest for any intervention Gallup has asked about in the last 20 years. Thirty-six percent of Americans favor the U.S. taking military action in order to reduce Syria's ability to use chemical weapons. The majority -- 51% -- oppose such action, while 13% are unsure.
Public opinion, of course, isn't the only reason not to launch military air strikes against the Assad regime (and there are some valid arguments for why we should). But here are a few of my concerns: First, what does the United States hope to accomplish in Syria? Obviously Washington wants to bring some semblance of stability to the region -- and prevent Assad from using chemical weapons again on his own people. Fair enough. However, as Guy previously noted, a bombing campaign against Assad's government would undoubtedly help the Syrian rebels. Question: Is this a wise decision given some of the rebel leaders' reputation for lawlessness and barbarism? There are no doubt elements of the (crumbling?) opposition that are pro-western -- but some are clearly sworn enemies of the United States. So are we really comfortable taking sides? On the other hand, if the end-game is regime change -- as Secretary Kerry seems to suggest -- how on earth can we accomplish this without committing endless supplies of resources to the region and eventually putting boots-on-the-ground? Isn't the phenomenon known as "mission creep" inevitable if that's the stated goal? Air strikes aren't going to cut it, after all. And by the way, what if the new regime that comes to power after Assad's downfall is even more lawless and evil than the previous government? Recent history shows us that this does happen. What do we do then?
Second, how are we going to pay for all of this? I realize I sound like a broken record but Mark Steyn is correct when he notes dryly that the United States of America is the "Brokest Nation in History." So how will we finance yet another war when we're already spending one trillion more dollars every year than we take in? We can't keep this up indefinitely.
And finally, as noted above, the public stands firmly against intervention. Yes, the United States' reputation and credibility is on the line (thanks in part to the president's "red-line" proclamation) but the Commander-in-Chief and members of Congress work for us, remember? Shouldn't the American people's opinions at least count for something?
There are no easy answers here. But, at the very least, there are things to consider and weigh before we march headlong into a bombing campaign against Syria. And while this might not be war in the "classic" sense, it's war nonetheless. And America would do well to tread carefully.


Thor has just been sent a email informing them that they have NO PERMISSION to use the name or logo MERMAID PARADE within their FUTURE OF CONEY ISLAND logo such as they have done at the start and finish of the YOU TUBE piece. We have asked them to make a correction asap. We do thank Thor for the High Steppers at the parade.
Yesterday, Mr. Zigun wrote that "Thor has been in touch with me and promises changes this week." There's an article about it all in today's Metro. Needless to say, the vid doesn't picture any of the anti-Thor protesters that marched in the parade.

Hillary Clinton trolls Trump in a surprise appearance at the 2018 Grammys
The Recording Academy/CBS

Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance on Sunday night in a Grammy Awards comedy bit that took a jab at President Trump.

Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance on Sunday night in a Grammy Awards comedy bit that took a jab at President Trump.
The former presidential candidate, along with Cher, Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, John Legend and DJ Khaled were among those who read excerpts from Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," the hit book about Trump's first year in the White House.
The bit shows Grammy host James Corden holding auditions for the book reading in hopes of nabbing next year's best spoken word album with famous musicians trying out for the coveted role.
Clinton's face was covered by the book when she first appeared on screen in the pre-taped sketch, but the crowd cheered when she lowered the book to reveal her face.
Clinton read the famous line about Trump's love for fast food: "He had a longtime fear of being poisoned. One reason why he liked to eat at McDonalds. No one knew he was coming and the food was safely pre-made."
The Grammys producers reached out to Clinton's camp a couple of weeks ago. They toyed with a couple of different passages from the book before settling on the excerpt about Trump's McDonald's habit, according to a person who was involved with the taping, which took place last week in New York City.
The gag was originally only going to include two or three other people, but it grew over the time, the source said. Wolff had no immediate comment on the Grammys bit.
The sketch has already drawn the ire of at least one prominent White House figure. US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley fired off a tweet on Sunday night shortly after the bit aired.
"I have always loved the Grammys but to have artists read the Fire and Fury book killed it," Haley tweeted. "Don't ruin great music with trash. Some of us love music without the politics thrown in it."
Haley took to the radio waves on Thursday to say that a rumor sparked by the book is "absolutely not true," referring to a detail in "Fire and Fury" that alleges that she carried on an affair with President Trump.
"Fire and Fury" has sold 1.7 million copies, according to publisher Henry Holt & Co. The book has had remarkable staying power. It held onto the No. 1 spot on Amazon's best selling books list for almost the entire month of January. Over the weekend, it slipped to No. 2 -- but the Grammys may give it another shot of publicity.

A Lerner-index (más néven ár–költség rés) egy vállalat piaci erejének mutatószáma. Megalkotójáról, Abba P. Lernerről nevezték el.

A Lerner-index a vállalat által szabott árnak a határköltségtől vett százalékos eltérésével egyenlő. Képlete, ha az árat p-vel, a határköltséget MC-vel jelöljük:

Az egyre nagyobb t értékek a vállalat mind nagyobb piaci erejéről tanúskodnak, hiszen a cégnek egyre nagyobb erőre van szüksége ahhoz, hogy minél jobban el tudjon térni a határköltséggel egyenlő ártól. Emellett azzal, hogy a vállalat magasabb árat határozhat meg, az elérhető profit is emelkedik.

A versenyzői piac modelljében egyetlen szereplő sem tér el a piaci ártól, ami hosszú távon a határköltséggel lesz egyenlő, így valamennyi vállalat Lerner-indexe 0. Monopólium (vagyis a "másik véglet") esetén viszont a piacon lévő egyetlen céget csak a termék kereslete korlátozza abban, hogy tetszőlegesen magasra emelje az árat. Megmutatható, hogy ekkor , vagyis a Lerner-index egyenlő a kereslet – abszolútértékben vett – árrugalmasságának reciprokával. Minél rugalmatlanabb a termék iránti kereslet, a monopolista Lerner-indexe (és ezzel a piaci ereje) annál nagyobb.

Billie, Nina's unruly elder sister, is bold, brassy and incapable of lying. Once the wild child, Billie is now a dedicated aunt to Nina's baby and a committed wife to Mick, whose band she's been managing while on tour in the UK. Youngest sibling Jimmy (Richard Davies) runs his busy Mexican taqueria while his wife Zara (Jane Harber) undertakes the gruelling challenge of studying for a medical degree. Also starring Deborah Mailman as vivacious midwife Cherie, Lachy Hulme as idiosyncratic obstetrician Martin Clegg and introducing TJ Power as Will Bowen.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Love this series! I've been a fan of Offspring from the beginning, and was sad when I moved to the UK and couldn't get the latest season. So - when I could get it on DVD I was really pleased. This season the show is definitely in true form - I enjoyed every minute and was still keen for more when it finished.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SSJR from Offspring Season 6 Friend recommended Offspring to me as I never watched it on the tv. LOVE it! Have since purchased season 7 and have them all now.


It was a real honour to work with a group of adults living with mental health issues at Jerwood Gallery as part of the organisation's Arts Council funded programme. All the participants completed a handmade Art Book over a period of ten weeks using a wide variety of techniques including print making, stitch and image transfer. The books were exhibited in the gallery's Studio space.


REPORTING FROM HAVANA -- Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday took to Cuba's largest stage, the Revolution Plaza, and made a forceful plea for religious freedom, praising the communist regime's initial steps toward allowing public worship but saying the process must be strengthened.
Thousands of Cubans packed into the square to watch the pope lead an open-air Mass, the main event of his historic visit to the island nation. Benedict held private talks with Cuban President Raul Castro on Tuesday and was expected to meet with Fidel Castro later Wednesday before departing for Rome.
"It must be said with joy that in Cuba steps have been taken to enable the church to carry out her essential mission of expressing her faith openly and publicly," the pope said in a homily he read in Spanish.
He specifically asked that Roman Catholic teaching be allowed in schools. Currently, the church may only engage in the instruction of adults.
"The right to freedom of religion, both in its private and in its public dimension, manifests the unity of the human person, who is at once a citizen and a believer," the pope said.

X-Men (2000 - DVD)
I contend that, while not entirely bad, this is the weakest of the original X-Men movie trilogy. I feel like there's too strong of a dichotomy between the opening scenes and the general plot. The story begins with a young Magneto being taken to a concentration camp in WWII-era Germany, which is extremely rough and evocative considering the rest of the movie is this silly yarn about an inexplicable machine that can turn people into mutants, and has a character that jumps around and flicks out his tongue like a frog. It also tends to feel like there are too many characters in this movie and not enough time to develop them all.
That and the whole thing comes across to me as an elaborate explanation for the white streak in Rogue's hair.
Galaxy High School: The Complete Series (1986 - DVD)
Galaxy High was a short-lived 80's cartoon that I only barely remembered from my youth, about a girl and boy from Earth who attend a high school in outer space, populated by many strange and diverse alien students and faculty. This is a 2-Disc, 13-episode set and most of the episodes on Disc 1 aren't that great. They follow a predictable pattern of a character running off somewhere, and the other characters having to go save him/her. These episodes often have "morals" and storylines that aren't easy for an adult to relate to, and nor do I feel the premise makes much sense - why was Doyle selected to attend Galaxy High when his grades were so poor?
But things pick up on Disc 2 and the show finally starts taking advantage of its crazy character designs and personalities for more visual humor and jokes, and all-around better plots (aside from one horribly misguided episode with an anti-drug message). My two favorite episodes were the "Supernova" one, and the one where the show's resident villain, a school bully named Beef Bonk, does something completely out of the ordinary to help a class of children while still remaining true to his character.
I tend to see a lot of hatred and vitriol spewed at 80's stuff these days, but one thing I can say about Galaxy High is that it's animated very well. When a six-armed character named Milo is making pizza, you get the feeling this scene exists to show off the animators' skill. Though you can tell what episodes the staff thought were written the best because generally the better the writing, the better the animation.
Overall, I would have liked for this show to have been as good as the best episodes of Disc 2, but I can't really recommend it to anyone who isn't a complete 80's cartoon nut, or just wants it for nostalgia.

Why New Age Beverages Corp Stock Popped Today
Shares of New Age Beverages Corp (NASDAQ: NBEV) were surging again today after three straight days of sharp declines as the company continues to ride the broader volatility in the marijuana sector. As pot stocks rose today with highflier Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) up as much as 20% at one point, so did New Age. The beverage stock finished the day 13.6% higher.
From its 2014 IPO to just over a week ago, New Age was a sleepy beverage stock, making niche drinks including kombucha, energy drinks, and coconut water. However, last Monday, rumors broke and were later confirmed that New Age was planning to launch a CBD-infused beverage.
In a press release last Wednesday, New Age said it would debut a new portfolio of cannabidiol-infused beverages at the upcoming North American Convenience Show in Las Vegas from October 7-10. CBD is different from THC, the compound in marijuana that gets you high, but the market for CBD, the pot derivative used for pain relief, could be set to boom as much as 700% by 2020, according to some estimates.
Clearly, there is plenty of euphoria baked into New Age shares as the stock surged as much as 528% last week on hopes for the new CBD line. However, in addition to the investor exuberance, there are credible reasons to believe in the company's new opportunity. Coca-Cola has expressed interest in cannabis-based beverages, and a number of other beverage companies including Corona-distributor Constellation Brands have made plays for a future pot-laced beverages as Constellation invested $4 billion in Canadian pot grower Canopy Growth Corporation (NYSE: CGC). Such interest confirms the opportunity in the space and could lead to an acquisition of New Age, which has a market cap of just $220 million.
It's too soon to say what will happen to New Age, and this could be much ado about nothing, but with the debut in Vegas coming in just two weeks and recreational pot set to be legalized in Canada on October 17, the stock's volatility should continue at least through the upcoming product launch.

David and Tom just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy right now... and NEW AGE BEVERAGES wasn't one of them! That's right -- they think these 10 stocks are even better buys.

Glue sizing and oil priming is the traditional method of preparing canvas for oil painting. The size is made by dissolving 8 level tablespoons of rabbit skin glue in 1 litre of cold water. Soak until all the water has been absorbed by the glue to a porridge consistency, (1 hour or overnight). Then stir and heat gently in a double boiler until the glue dissolves (do not boil the glue). Apply when still warm (not hot) with a stiff brush onto stretched linen or cotton duck. Size acts as a penetrating liquid to fill the pores of the canvas and to isolate the fabric from subsequent applications of primer and oil paint.

Government Testing Adds 5-Month Delay (& Counting) to CBRS
Although the NTIA has already completed its Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) testing, the agency continues to test the other key element element of the novel spectrum-sharing setup for the 3.5GHz band, the Spectrum Access System (SAS).
The ongoing testing, coupled with the recent government shutdown, appears to have delayed the launch of initial 3.5GHz services by at least five months. In August of 2018, players had hoped for initial commercial launches by the end of 2018. Now they're hoping for initial launches by May 2019 or so.
"Testing is ongoing," wrote an NTIA spokesperson in response to questions on the SAS topic from Light Reading. The 3.5GHz band is commonly referred to as the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band.
Nonetheless, players are working to remain upbeat. For example, CommScope and Google issued a press release last week that their joint ESC passed "all required testing for certification." And though the company didn't issue a press release about it, FCC documents indicate that Federated Wireless' ESC also passed testing.
Thus, the Google/CommScope announcement really stands as more of a way to maintain CBRS interest than to signal any major forward momentum, considering the NTIA's Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) said it completed ESC testing in December. The next step in the process is for the FCC, in coordination with NTIA and the Department of Defense, to review the ITS' test results. Both Google/CommScope and Federated just this week sent the FCC the results of the ITS' testing. If the FCC signs off on the ITS' test results, that would pave the way for an initial commercial launch of the ESC portion of the spectrum-sharing setup in the CBRS band.
Testing, and more testing
But initial deployments in the CBRS band can't start until the NTIA's ITS also completes its testing of the SAS portion of the spectrum-sharing setup in the CBRS band. And, just like the ESC portion, the ITS' testing results must be sent to the FCC to receive that agency's approval before initial commercial operations can begin in the CBRS band. Mark Gibson, director of business development for CommScope's Comsearch division, said the company expects the FCC to sign off on both the SAS and ESC portions of the CBRS spectrum-sharing setup by the middle of the second quarter of 2019.
But real, full-blown commercial CBRS operations still won't be able to happen then. Once the FCC signs off on the ITS' ESC and SAS test results, the agency will then only allow "Initial Commercial Deployments" (ICD). Companies have to apply for FCC approval to conduct ICDs, and agency staff essentially will look over vendors' shoulders while they run these initial commercial deployments to make sure that everything is working right. According to the FCC, SAS administrators that have submitted ICD proposals include Amdocs, CommScope, Federated, Google, Key Bridge and Sony.
If everything looks OK during the initial commercial deployments, only then will the FCC allow real commercial deployments. The CBRS Alliance has said that could happen sometime in the third quarter of this year.
You're invited to attend Light Reading's Big 5G Event! Formerly the Big Communications Event and 5G North America, Big 5G is where telecom's brightest minds deliver the critical insight needed to piece together the 5G puzzle. We'll see you May 6-8 in Denver -- communications service providers get in free!
So why does the CBRS band require so much testing? It's mainly because this is the first time ever, anywhere in the world, that spectrum will be shared between commercial users and the federal government. Specifically, the US Navy has long used the 3.5GHz CBRS band for radar along the US coastline. Thus, the ESC is needed to see whether US Navy radar systems are using the 3.5GHz band. If they are using the band, the ESC would tell the SAS about the situation, so that a SAS vendor could move around actual users in the CBRS band to prevent them from interfering with US Navy operations.
And that's why testing has been taking so long. Aside from the government shutdown that cut out a month's worth of CBRS testing, the NTIA, DoD and FCC also don't want to be blamed for a CBRS setup that could potentially cause a US Navy hiccup or, in the worst case, a disaster.
So, testing continues.
Plenty of interest
But, judging from some recent CBRS product announcements, the government's ongoing testing doesn't seem to be dampening enthusiasm for CBRS. In the past few weeks:
Motorola Solutions announced its new MOTOTRBO Nitro LTE CBRS product for enterprises.
Akoustis Technologies released its new filter samples for CBRS.
Nokia launched its Certified Professional Installer (CPI) Training Program Administrator for CBRS.
Casa Systems introduced CBRS RAN and core products.
PCTEL announced an expanded line of CBRS antennas and enhanced testing capabilities.
The Small Cell Forum and the CBRS Alliance announced an agreement to cooperate.
Cambium Networks announced a teaming with Federated to add CBRS connectivity to its fixed wireless line of products.
And Syniverse, Arris' Ruckus Networks and Federated announced a CBRS LTE product for private wireless networks. And Syniverse said it would deploy the product on its corporate campus.
But perhaps the best indication of the level of interest in the CBRS band comes from the executives who are working in Washington D.C. to get the technology off the ground. At the tail end of 2018, right before the holidays, some of the top players in CBRS met with FCC officials to talk about testing, ICDs, device certification and commercialization timelines. Companies represented in the meeting included vendors like Federated, Sony and CommScope but also big names like AT&T, Comcast and Charter. That's not a surprise considering AT&T wants to use the CBRS band for fixed wireless services, while Comcast and Charter continue to test both mobile and fixed services using CBRS.
At least, they hope to do so after the government is done with its testing.

Update Just fyi, I updated this article slightly because one ESC might not necessarily talk to another ESC or a SAS from a different vendor, and because the US Navy radar systems that use the CBRS band are used by Navy airplanes, not ships.

Q: javascript addEventListener multiple classes I'm trying to add the same event to 2 differnt classes of elements.
I've successfully used the code below for one class:
    var MyClass = document.getElementsByClassName("BtnOptList");
    for (var ii = 0; ii < MyClass.length; ii++) {
        MyClass[ii].addEventListener('click', myFunction, false);
    }

Then I've tryed using a loop to add event to 2 classes but the code has no effects
var Classes = array["BtnOptGroup", "BtnOptList"];
for (var i=0; i<Classes.length; i++){
    var MyClass = document.getElementsByClassName(Classes[i]);
    for (var ii = 0; ii < MyClass.length; ii++) {
        MyClass[ii].addEventListener('click', myFunction, false);
    }
}

What's wrong in the 2nd code?

A: You has errors in next code:
You use  array["BtnOptGroup", "BtnOptList"] , should be ["BtnOptGroup", "BtnOptList"] and I recommend  to use document.querySelection() instead of document.getElementsByClassName() , becouse it is faster.

This large, flat woven piece is soft and thin like a cover, but usable as a rug. Very fine work in wool.
A mix of colorful, traditional motifs gives this piece a surprisingly modern touch. This rare example was woven in Sweden around 1890.

A Clash of Superpowers: Escalating Tensions Between the USSR and USA
The end of World War II saw the world in a state of flux.
The end of World War II saw the world in a state of flux. The two victorious powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, had emerged from the war with vastly different ideologies: capitalism and communism. This ideological divide was further exacerbated by the redrawing of geopolitical boundaries. The Soviet Union sought to expand its influence, while the United States sought to contain it. This struggle for power and influence between the two superpowers was a major factor in the Cold War.
The Cold War was also the result of a number of other factors, including the emergence of nuclear weapons, the ideological divide between capitalism and communism, and the competition for resources. It was a period of intense political and military tension, and the redrawing of geopolitical boundaries was a major factor in this tension.
The Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam conferences, which took place during the final years of World War II, marked key moments in the development of post-war international relations.
At the Tehran Conference in 1943, Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt met to discuss war strategy and to plan for the eventual defeat of the Axis powers. But it soon became clear that the three leaders had different priorities, and tensions began to emerge. Churchill was suspicious of Stalin's intentions in Eastern Europe, and Roosevelt had to work hard to keep the alliance together.
At the Yalta Conference in 1945, the Allies agreed to divide Germany into four occupation zones, and to create a United Nations organization. But disagreements over Poland's post-war borders, as well as the Soviet Union's insistence on reparations from Germany, created further friction.
The Potsdam Conference, held just a few months later, brought more discord. By this time, Roosevelt had died, and was replaced by Harry S. Truman. Truman was more openly hostile to the Soviet Union than Roosevelt had been, and took a hard line against Stalin's demands. The Potsdam Conference ended without any significant progress on key issues, and marked the beginning of the Cold War between East and West.
The Cold War was a period of intense political and military tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. One of the earliest responses of the United States to Soviet expansion was the containment doctrine. This doctrine, articulated by American diplomat George F. Kennan, argued that the US should contain Soviet expansion through a policy of diplomatic, economic, and military pressure. The US sought to limit Soviet influence in Europe and Asia, and to prevent the spread of communism by strengthening its allies and building a network of alliances to counter the Soviet bloc. The containment doctrine was a cornerstone of US foreign policy during the Cold War and was a major factor in the development of the Cold War.
The containment doctrine was not without its critics. Some argued that it was too aggressive and risked provoking the Soviet Union into a war. Others argued that it was too passive and failed to take into account the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two superpowers. Despite these criticisms, the containment doctrine remained the cornerstone of US foreign policy during the Cold War. It was a major factor in the development of the Cold War, and its legacy continues to shape US foreign policy today.
The Cold War was a period of intense political and military rivalry between the Soviet Union and the United States. It was driven by a number of factors, one of which was the Soviet Union's ambition to expand its sphere of influence. This ambition was rooted in the Soviet Union's history of expansionism and its desire to spread its ideology of communism.
This expansion was driven by a desire to increase their power and influence, and to spread their ideology of communism. This ambition was further fueled by the Soviet Union's victory in World War II, which lent a strong sense of confidence to a power that had previously been isolated in the pre-war world.
The Iron Curtain was a physical and ideological barrier between the East and West that was created in the aftermath of World War II. It was a line of separation that divided Europe into two distinct regions, the Soviet-controlled East and the Western-allied West. The Iron Curtain was a symbol of the ideological divide between communism and capitalism, and the two sides of the Cold War. It was a line of defence for the Soviet Union, and a way to keep its citizens from leaving the bloc.
"From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent." – Sir Winston Churchill, in a speech identifying Europe's division
The Iron Curtain was a powerful symbol of the Cold War, and it had a lasting impact on the region. It created a physical and ideological divide between the East and West, and it was a reminder of the tension between the two sides. The Iron Curtain also served as a reminder of the power of the Soviet Union, and its ability to control its citizens. It was a reminder of the power of the Cold War, and the importance of the ideological divide between East and West.
The Truman Doctrine was a foreign policy shift by the United States in 1947, which aimed to contain the spread of communism. It was a response to the increasing tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States, and the growing influence of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe.
The Doctrine declared that the United States would support any nation that was threatened by communism, and it was seen as a major step towards the Cold War. The Doctrine was seen as a way of asserting the United States' power and influence in the world, and it was also seen as a way of preventing the Soviet Union from gaining more power in Europe.
The Cold War was largely driven by the ideological differences between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. One of the most significant of these differences was the contrast between their respective economic systems. The United States was a capitalist economy, relying on a free market system to allocate resources and determine prices. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, was a planned economy, where the state controlled the production and distribution of goods and services. This contrast between the two systems was a major factor in the Cold War, as each side sought to prove the superiority of their own economic model.
Each side was determined to prove that their own economic system was better than the other, and this ideological competition was a major factor in the Cold War. Both sides wanted neutral countries to implement their economic framework. As the two superpowers sought to prove the superiority of their respective economic systems, the ideological divide between them deepened, leading to an increasingly tense and dangerous international situation.
Since the Cold War was a war of ideas, both sides invested heavily in propagating their own version of the truth.
In the USSR, the government used propaganda to promote a vision of a utopian society, where the people were united in a collective effort to build a better future. In contrast, the USA used propaganda to emphasize the superiority of their capitalist system, and the idea of individualism, freedom and opportunity.
The two sides used different tactics to spread their messages. The USSR relied on state-controlled media to get their message out, while the USA used a more subtle approach, focusing on the idea of freedom of expression and the power of the individual through Hollywood films.
Both sides used the media to their advantage, and the Cold War was fought as much in the media as it was on the battlefield. Ultimately, the ideological messaging of the two sides helped to shape the course of the Cold War, and the differences between them remain to this day.
The Cold War was a period of intense geopolitical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. Its origins can be traced back to the end of World War II and the subsequent division of Europe. However, the seeds of the Cold War were planted long before the war's end. In the years leading up to the conflict, both the US and the USSR had engaged in a number of diplomatic and military skirmishes, which set the stage for the Cold War.
The US and the USSR had clashed over a variety of issues, including the Soviet Union's support of communist forces in Europe and the US's support of anti-communist forces in the region. The US had also taken a hard stance against the Soviet Union's attempts to expand its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. These early skirmishes had laid the groundwork for the Cold War, as both sides had hardened their positions and become increasingly suspicious of each other's intentions.
Nuclear Arms Race: The Build up of Weapons on Both Sides;
The arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War saw a dramatic increase in the number of nuclear weapons on both sides.

The Cold War was a battle of ideologies between the East and the West. At the heart of the conflict were two distinct political philosophies: capitalism and communism.

Nos. 41 & 42, High Street
Blink and you'll miss it, but here, finally, is an authentic historic remnant in Exeter's much demolished High Street. Nos. 41 & 42 constitutes the only surviving example in the High Street of a twin-gabled, timber-framed building with both its facade and some of its interior intact. I can think of only one other similar example in the entire city, in South Street. The few timber-framed properties which do remain either have much-altered facades, have only a single gable or have had their interiors demolished.
The example in the High Street is admittedly very lovely though. It was constructed as a pair of matching townhouses c1564 (this date appears on the facade) and is typical of how much of the entire city looked up until the beginning of the 18th century. The infamous 'Hanging' Judge George Jeffreys is alleged to have stayed here in 1665 when the property was known as 'The Mansion House', although this may be another local legend created to whip up interest in a commercial venture and the Mansion House was actually elsewhere in the city (see 'Mol's Coffee House' for more Exeter myths). For many years Nos. 41 & 42 was a pharmacy and was known as Hinton Lake, after the business's founder, John Hinton Lake.
The postcard right shows the building c1905, prior to the removal of the render. It should be noted that most of the exposed timber-framing isn't genuine but has been applied during 20th century restoration. When completed in the 16th century the building would've been covered in render with only the timber around the windows left exposed. It was constructed on four floors, with a cellar. Each townouses would've had a shop on the ground floor with a parlour on the first floor, bedroom chambers on the second floor with further rooms in the attic. There was probably a gallery and back block arrangement at the rear, similar to that which existed at No. 38 North Street prior to its demolition in 1972.
One feature of note is the corbelled party-wall of Heavitree stone on the left side. It was constructed as a firebreak to try and prevent the spread of fire between houses at a time when nearly all the domestic buildings in the city were constructed of timber. Perhaps the most interesting feature inside, found in the cellar, are the remains of the security wall which was built around the Cathedral precinct in 1286 following the murder of the precentor Walter Lechlade in 1283.
A few 16th century features survive here and there, like chamfered beams, fireplaces and a staircase, and during refurbishment a 14th-century fireplace was uncovered on the first floor and restored, perhaps reused from an earlier building on the site. Despite the survival of these authentic elements, much of the interior has been gutted to provide retail space, but the property has still been granted Grade II* listed status.
Until the 1950s an almost identical pair of townhouses existed nearby on the High Street. Despite surviving the bombs of May 1942, this property, No. 37 High Street, was foolishly demolished in the late 1950s. The postcard left dates from the early 20th century and shows the now demolished No. 37 highlighted in red, with the still-existing Nos. 41 & 42 further down the High Street, highlighted in green.

Troop 1007 of the Catalina Council of the Boy Scouts of America became the first Scouts, BSA Female Troop in Southern Arizona on Friday February 1st, when the Boy Scouts admitted girls into its youth program for the first time in the program history.
TUCSON, AZ (KOLD News 13) - Times are changing in Southern Arizona where badges aren't just for the boys anymore.
Eleven girls have joined the Catalina Council of the Boy Scouts of America to become the first 'Scouts, BSA Female Troop' in southern Arizona. The organization officially admitted girls into its youth program on Feb. 1 for first time in program history.
"Hiking, camping, fishing," said Sidney Dial, when asked what she was most looking forward to in the program.
The 14-year-old is part of the linked troop to Troop 007.
"I am so happy," said Dial.
The national organization announced it was changing the guidelines for the youth program in May of 2018. For Erin Conant, that meant she didn't have to sit out and watch her sibling have all the fun anymore.
"My brother was a boy scout and he always got to go on hikes and camping trips and it always sounded so fun, so when they opened it up to girls, I was very excited," said 14-year-old Conant.
#SCOUT ME IN: This badge isn't just for the boys anymore.
The future for the all-female troop is a family affair for many in the room. That includes Scout Master Laurene Huelsman, whose daughter can now follow in the footsteps of her sons, both Eagle Scouts.
"They get to do exactly the same things the boys have been doing for years," said Huelsman. "It's all the same requirements, the same ranks that they get to, the girls can now earn the rank of Eagle, just like the boys.
These scouts, proving the girls can do just what the boys have done for 109 years.

Electric bikes (also known as e bikes) are perfect for long-distance riding, or when you just don't feel like giving your full effort. What differentiates them from electric motorcycles is the ability for the rider to pedal the bike at any time, so if you're riding along and your battery dies, you're not going to stranded. These are often very valuable bikes, but some models can be more affordable than you might expect, especially when you treat them as a form of transportation as opposed to thinking of the price in terms of regular bicycles.
Can You Ride Electric Scooters On Sidewalks
This lithium-ion battery bike has a range of nearly 30 miles per charge. As an added bonus, it also operates on three distinct models. You can take it off-road without worrying about damaging the frame on rougher surfaces thanks to its durable mountain bike frame. Features include a 17-inch mountain bike frame that fits most riders between 5'2 and 6'2, and a height-adjustable seat.

The padded and comfortable saddle is easily adjustable for your riding height. You can also adjust the handlebars for a more comfy ride.
To build a lightweight electric bike is a mission full of compromises. Forget ride comfort, balloon tires, comfy seat, suspension and other niceties. Forget top speed and long range, which would require a large battery and heavy motor. Forget doing it on the cheap, because lightweight bicycle pieces are expensive. If you really want a lightweight electric bike you are going to have to pay for it with cash and ride quality…and might as well forget high performance…the only thing exciting about these bikes is their light weight…however most of these also give you stealthiness because they look like normal bikes. Because of the onset of affordable LiPo batteries and new ebike motor technologies, lightweight ebikes have become a build-able and sell-able possibility. As LiPo batteries become lighter, more powerful, and more affordable we can only expect this list to improve. We only considered complete functioning electric bikes for this list…no tiny clown folding bikes etc.

Which Is The Best Battery For Bike
With 170mm travel, aggressive angles and Shimano's superbly calibrated STEPS motor, the Focus Sam2 is an enduro bike with a built-in shuttle. With the bolt on TEC pack you really can climb to new heights, but without it the smaller capacity internal battery means you need to be ultra economical with your energy use. It's also frustrating that the internal battery can't be removed easily for charging. By far the biggest frustration with the Jam2 though is that the sizing isn't very generous and standover clearance is limited. It's still a great e-bike, but when you're spending this much money, you can afford to be fussy.

The Vilano Core electric bike is the perfect bike for both cities and villages. The assist technology that is built-in the bike will help to conquer wind and hills. The Vilano core electric bike has a powerful 10.4AH Samsung Lithium-Ion Battery. With a single charge of this battery, you can reach 15- 25 miles. It has an aluminum frame, but at the same time, the bike is lightweight. The 5-speed setting would help you to choose the right speed you want to go. This electric bike is not only stylish but sturdy as well.
Definitely not a downhill option, but still great for mountain camping, fire roads, loose and packed dirt, and trail commuting, the R&M Delite Mountain definitely makes the list. This is a mountain bike version of the very popular full-suspension commuters offered by Riese & Muller. The main reason that this bike makes the list is thanks to it's 1000 watt hour battery potential with a dual battery system.
Do Velodrome Bikes Have Gears
Bosch's flagship mountain bike system uses a mini drive ring with internal gearing to send its power to the drivetrain. There's some resistance in the system over 25km/h, but when you first press down on the pedals there's an impressive surge of power, and it offers good support over a wide cadence range. Its size has an impact on the width of the cranks (the Q-factor) as well as the chainstay length of the frame, and it's not the lightest system on the market at 4kg for the motor. On the other hand, Bosch is the most established player on the market, and its system has proven itself over many years.

There's much less of a sensation of the Electrified S2 'fighting back' once you hit 15.5mph, as well. That's helped by the automatic 2-speed gear box, although this does take some getting used to. Because its cogs are very different sizes you can end up with all sorts of cadence problems as it auto-shifts from high back to low. With practice you can avoid this, or of course you could in theory fit a second cog that's closer in size to the first.

We didn't take an existing charger and slap the Luna name on it. We special-ordered a quality charger from a respected manufacturer, and specified certain features that we feel are the most important. It has a difgital voltage read-out (why don't they all have that?), a choice between a slow charge at 3A, or a fast charge at 5A. Most importantly, we made sure to include an 80%/90%/100% three-way switch so you can choose max possible range, or max possible life. Other chargers give you only two choices...take it or leave it.

There's a lot to like about the Giant Trance E+ 2 Pro starting with its reasonable price. Electric mountain bikes are expensive, and the Trance E+ 2 comes in under $5K with a nice component specification. The build is one reason why this bike performs so well on the trail, with a beefy fork, plush suspension, meaty tires, and powerful brakes that can handle the heavy weight of this rig. It's also got a nice modern geometry that helps it perform very well on the descents while still maintaining reasonable climbing abilities. It has a 504Wh battery and proved to be one of the most efficient in using that power in our distance range testing. There's no lack of power on tap when you need it, and it delivers it smoothly with little motor noise. Giant finishes it all off with nice integration of the battery and motor into the frame design for a super clean look.

The Bulls E-Stream EVO AM 4 is a new addition to our electric mountain bike test and it didn't take long for our testers to fall in love with this new contender. This bike comes ready to rumble with a beefy enduro ready build with 150mm of front and rear wheel travel controlled by a stout RockShox Lyrik fork up front. Testers found this bike to come alive at speed with stable and confidence inspiring trail manners that preferred to go fast, and big 2.8-inch wide Schwalbe tires that provided heaps of traction. Bulls has done a good job designing this beast, with a powerful and smooth Brose drive unit cleanly integrated into the frame along with a large 650Wh battery. The motor lays down very smooth power in all of its output settings and is one of the quietest models we tested. The large battery storage capacity provides the longest distance range of all the models in the test so you can stay out longer and ride farther than on models with smaller batteries. The e-bike controls have relatively good ergonomics and an easy to read display.

As with anything, there is still room for improvement. There is no handlebar mounted digital display, and the only way to tell your speed is to mount a phone or bike computer to the bars. Specialized has changed the location of their battery charge and output mode display, however, which is now conveniently located on the top tube where you can see it while riding. The new motor is an improvement over the previous, but it still lags a little in engagement compared to the competition and the climbing performance is hampered by the drive unit's slightly more abrupt cutoff. Overall though, the Specialized still proved to be the test team's favorite for its versatility and well-rounded performance. We loved it, and we think you will too.

The LT or long travel line that Haibike is one of the most interesting developments in electric mountain biking in quite some time. I've chosen the FullSeven LT 4.0 because I wanted to show you another quality, low-cost option. The FullSeven line is built a little less aggressively than the AllMtn series, but still functions as a great all-around mountain bike for those riders who want to hit fire roads, and maybe the occasional single-track trail. The coolest thing about the LT line is that it costs exactly the same as the standard FullSeven line that comes with 120mm of travel. You can upgrade to 150mm on any FullSeven bike for no extra cost.

Do the e-bikes don't have any downside? Well, they do but it's nothing of a deal-breaker. Well, the only real issue could be forgetting to plug in and charge the bike. The bulkiness could be another issue but the extra weight actually helps when going downhill. The maintenance is not much of a hassle too, as it does not require any extra care than a regular MTB.

In fact, the manufacturers have already proven that what makes an e-MTB outstanding is not that much different to a regular MTB. Sure, there are slight differences in performance due to e-MTB's heavier frame but both types share almost similar basics covering geometry, sizing, and balance. Also, the power-supplying motor comes into the forefront instead of the suspension in these bikes.
powered by powerful motors. This implies that you are able to attain the best speed. The bikes also come with powerful and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries to assure of longer runtime. Most of them use the Shimano 7-speed and 6-speed, making it elementary to shift the speeds easily. These are the best electric mountain bikes that will suit your budget and serve you longer.

ESPN ranks Carmelo lower than Lonzo Ball; players say rank journalists
By Rashad Milligan | September 13, 2017 | 0
ESPN unveiled its annual NBA player rankings with training camp looming. There have been a few critics of past lists, most notably placing Kobe Bryant at No. 25, No. 40, and No. 93 the last three seasons of his career. This year, the big story has been New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony finishing outside of the top 50. Anthony ranked No. 64 this year, one spot behind No. 63 rookie guard Lonzo Ball.
Anthony provided his feedback on his personal Twitter soon after the ranking surfaced online.
Can't Make Sense Out Of Non Sense!
"A certain darkness is needed to see the stars."@espn Don't be so Blatant with the disrespect#LineEmUp pic.twitter.com/NIWiwL1RMj
— Carmelo Anthony (@carmeloanthony) September 12, 2017
Last season Anthony played all but eight games, averaging 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds a game with a .433 field goal percentage, the lowest since his second season in the league. He has a chance this season to be the third player in NBA history to average at least 20 points a game in his first 15 seasons — the other two players are Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabar.
Both Anthony's scoring average and his field goal shooting percentage have decreased every season since 2013-14. He ranks eight spots behind reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, who averaged 10.2 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.8 rebounds in 26.4 minutes per game last season. Outspoken Portland Trailblazers guard C.J. McCollum offered an idea after seeing the ranking.
We need to start ranking these weak ass journalist. With descriptions of their strengths, weaknesses and ability to make up "sources"

The athlete vs. media is an age-old debate that has now resurfaced. If players actually come together to create a list ranking journalists with reasons the journalists were ranked at where they were, the direction that the industry is headed may change. The most viewed non-highlight sports videos online are clips from debate shows. Opinions and hot takes seem to dominate what networks are feeding to the audience. With more emphasis on opinions and less on traditional, balanced reporting now, a lot of journalists are going to get called out on the list. Some of the industry's biggest names could be ranked in the 60s with valid reasons and maybe that'll motivate journalists to do better — just like the player's rankings do for the athletes.

DigitalSTROM is een stroomschakelnetwerk op basis van in kroonsteentjes ingebouwde hoogvoltagechips. De kroonsteentjes (dSID's) kunnen op afstand bestuurd stroom in- en uitschakelen. Iedere netspanningsgroep heeft een stroommeter (dSM) die een duizendtal dSID's kan aansturen. De stroommeters kunnen communiceren met een server (dSS). Een computer kan gegevens van het DigitalSTROM-netwerk in het gebouw uitlezen via de dSS.

Kleuren
Op basis van kleurcodering kunnen dSID's met dezelfde kleur gelijktijdig worden in- en uitgeschakeld. Lichtschakelaars met indicatieleds geven de status van de apparaten in een kleur aan.

Kleurcodering:
 Roze: video
 Rood: beveiliging
 Groen: toegang
 Geel: verlichting
 Grijs: zonwering
 Donkerblauw: airco
 Lichtblauw: audio
 Zwart: joker (vrij configureerbaar)

Kritiek
Het Duitse Yello Strom kreeg in 2008 een Big Brother Award vanwege het fijnmazig inzicht in het gebruik dat dit systeem kan geven. Mede daarom is de dSS-software beschikbaar onder een opensourcelicentie en een commerciële licentie.

De DigitalSTROM-kroonsteenelementen werden aanvankelijk aangekondigd als goedkope bouwstenen van 1 à 2 euro, maar werden bij de introductie verkocht voor 70 euro – een vrij hoge prijs, aangezien deze per elektrisch geschakeld apparaat moeten worden ingebouwd. Daarnaast komen dan nog de server en stroommeters.

Hospices are to be for caring not killing
June 16, 2021 by Admin Leave a Comment
Media Release 16 June 2021
Right to Life is pleased that the Minister of Health, Hon Andrew Little has advised our society that he has no policy to require that hospices have to accept patients being killed by their doctors or assisted in their suicide in order to continue receiving government funding. This information was provided by the Minister under the Official Information Act. The End of Life Choice Act will allow for the killing by doctors of their patients with a lethal injection or assistance in suicide from 7th November 2021. This is government supported and funded "health care."
The Minister is to be commended for upholding the integrity of our hospices that are committed to upholding the Hippocratic Oath, not to give a lethal poison to a patient, or to assist in their suicide.
The High Court in Wellington in 2020 in the judicial review: Hospice NZ V Attorney General found in the judgment of Justice Mallon:-
• Organisations such as hospices have a right to hold conscientious objection to euthanasia and PAS – and the Crown should not be able to override this right through funding decisions.
• The mandatory provisions in the EOLC Act do not override the Code of Health and Disability Consumer's rights.
In committing to providing quality compassionate palliative care for the most vulnerable members of society when they are suffering a terminal illness, they are providing care that recognises the dignity and the inalienable right to life of every human being, made in the image and likeness of God.
It is also affirming the role of the medical profession as carers and not killers. We don't need to kill the patient to kill the pain.
This assurance from the Health Minister will be welcomed by our dedicated health professionals who are committed to caring for their patients and not killing them, under the pretext that this is health care. This assurance will also be a great source of comfort to family who place their loved-ones into hospices for palliative care.
The government currently provides funding of $155 million per annum to the 33 hospices in New Zealand This is only 1/3 of the funding required, the other two thirds are required to be raised by the community. Why is the government providing 100 % funding to kill patients (under the End of Life Choice Act) and yet only 33% of the funding to provide palliative care?
We must promote a culture of life by fiercely protecting our palliative care and Hospice movement, rejecting a culture of death by strongly opposing those who will be seeking to infiltrate our Hospices with the killing of patients by a lethal injection, or assisting in their suicide, under the guise that this is compassionate health care.

Is the Government serious about suicide prevention?
May 29, 2021 by Admin Leave a Comment
Media Release 29 May 20201
How can the government be serious about supporting its Suicide Prevention Strategy while at the same time the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and an overwhelming number of government MPs support government sanctioned and funded doctor assisted suicide? How can the Prime Minister say that she was wary of sending any message "that there was a tolerance for suicide in New Zealand."
The government has 2 task forces set up within the Ministry of Health. The first to implement the government's Suicide Prevention Strategy and the second to implement assisted suicide and euthanasia under the End of Life Choice Act, which comes into operation on 7th November 2021.
Right to Life asks is the government's position incoherent?
We question the government's sincerity in claiming to oppose suicide and working to prevent all suicide, while at the same time being committed to legalising and funding assisted suicide.
The taxpayers of New Zealand have a right to ask why the government has budgeted $40 million over four years in 2019 for the implementation of the Suicide Prevention Strategy, while in the 2021 budget the government has funded more than $11 million to provide assisted suicide and euthanasia under the End of Life Choice Act.
The government will be paying doctors to assist in suicide of their patients under the guise of health care.
A total of 654 people died by suicide in New Zealand in 2019/20. Our statistics are appalling, we have the highest youth suicide rate in the 41 member OECD. Right to Life commends the government for including in the budget for 2019 funding for suicide prevention, specifically $40m for Maori and Pasifika suicide prevention
The government's Suicide Prevention Strategy 2017 defines suicide as –"a death where evidence shows that the person deliberately brought about their own death."
In New Zealand a coronial ruling decides whether a death is classified as suicide.
The strategy does not seek to define suicide as rational or irrational, all suicide is irrational.
Suicide is self – murder it is always morally wrong, it violates the sanctity of life and the fifth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." Suicide hurts families and communities and the government should be committed to preventing all suicides.
Euthanasia is about doctors killing their patients or assisting in their suicide. It is intrinsically evil; no referendum can legitimise anything which is evil. The prohibition against taking the life of another human being is the foundation of the law and medicine.
It is always wrong to kill another innocent human being.
The approval of the community, even in a referendum, can never make manslaughter or suicide acceptable.
Right to Life believes that the government supported the referendum to distract public criticism from the government and to seduce and to implicate the whole community in the murder of the vulnerable.

"The responsibility for the decaying morality of modern society lies with religious leaders, who have not acted with sufficient vigor to counteract such trends."
— Rabbi Yehuda Levin proclaimed in a powerful Friday LifeSiteNews story


For many years, the month of November has been observed as Youth and Community Development Month in Jamaica. Within the education sector, November is observed as Parenting Month. The activities are intended to assist parents to do a better job to improve the relationships with their children and, ultimately, their capacity to excel. In addition to these, the United Nations and its agencies have specially designated days during the month. Since 1954, November 20 has been Universal Children's Day, established to "promote international togetherness and awareness among children worldwide".
Young people and children are quickly recognised as the raison d'Ítre of all these initiatives. It forces consideration of whether there is any one mechanism by which they could all be linked and through which their various outcomes might be simultaneously pursued.
The fact that November 20, by official proclamation, has been observed in Jamaica as National Storytelling Day since 2014 and that in 2018, a number of organisations collaborated on promoting the same date as National Play Day indicates that culture demands to be considered as such as mechanism.
The organisations promoting Play Day this year included the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information; the United Nations Children Education Fund; and the National Parenting Commission, which said, "Play is the way children explore and learn about their world, developing and practising new abilities. It builds important social and behavioural skills, too ..." Further, they stated as an objective sharing "in the joy of discovery, sharing and teamwork". If today's young people are playing the games in which their parents and grandparents delighted, they are encountering games such as 'May I', that teaches us to wait our turn; 'Punchinella Likkle Fella', which encourages us to revel in our individual talents; and 'PeeHawk, the Hawk is Coming Down', emphasising the importance of collective security.
Our games form part of our oral tradition, celebrated on National Storytelling Day, a practical recognition of our children's right to heritage and culture. In the proclamation of National Storytelling Day, the governor-general, Sir Patrick Linton Allen, recognised the role of storytelling for "healing the fractured sense of self and contributing towards social recovery".
Part of that healing resides in the ability of the nation to forge the inter-generational links that demonstrate how the values that hold human society together have not changed.
This was the philosophical basis of the staging of the Colour Museum under the theme "Punchinella Likkle Fella" by the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts during February 2018. Members of the Senior Citizens Council of Hughenden spent an evening at the college sharing games and discussing their significance with members of the college community and students from primary schools.
The evening was intended to "demonstrate the reservoir of wisdom in traditional Caribbean games, foster an understanding of the value of traditional games to national identity, raise the profile of traditional games as a tool in the delivery of curriculum across all subject areas, broaden the conversation about the role of indigenous knowledge in the education of people who will be able to safeguard the unique place of the Caribbean in the world, and celebrate the value of the collaboration between wisdom and enthusiasm in safeguarding cultural continuity".
Every prosperous organisation consciously identifies and pursues core values as part of its formula for growth and success. The constant practice of these cultural values becomes a culture in and of itself. By focusing on culture as the vehicle for achieving their objectives, the organisations that mount special programmes intended for national development during the month of November facilitate the nation coming to a practical appreciation of how culture - in this specific case, play and the oral tradition - hold the potential, as stated in the proclamation for National Storytelling Day, "for anchoring more of our youth in positive values and attitudes derived from an understanding and appreciation of their identity and their importance to national development".
It is a mechanism to be employed throughout the year as vital to the initiatives for personal, community and national development forward movement.

Gediminas Castle Tower is less than a kilometer from the hotel and named for a 14-century Lithuanian grand duke, can be seen from its hilltop perch just about everywhere in Old Town. The tower is the only remaining part of the Upper Castle and houses a museum. Climb to the top of the hill, or ride the funicular to the top for the most spectacular views of the city. For an even better view, go to the observation deck on top of the tower.
