Bird officially reaped $ 300 million as scooter wars warm up
And that's it: Bird, one of the emerging massively hype Scooter startups, went on to his next pile of financing by raising another $ 300 million in a Sequoia Capital-led tour.
The company announced the long-awaited tour this morning, with Roelof Botha of Sequoia joining the company's board of directors. This is the second round of funding that Bird has completed in the space of a few months, rising from an assessment of $ 1 billion in May to a $ 2 billion assessment at the end of April. end of June. In March, the value of the company was 300 million dollars, but the Scooter idea train officially reached an impressive inflection point, investors piling up to get this that many see as the next step in transportation resolution. cars or bikes. New investors in the round include Accel, Capital B, CRV, Sound Ventures, Greycroft and e.ventures, and previous investors Craft Ventures, Venture Indexes, Valor, Goldcrest, Tusk Ventures, and Upfront Ventures are also in the tour. (So, basically everyone who is not in the Lime competition.)
Mania Scooter captured the heart of Silicon Valley and investors in general – including Paige Craig, who actually jumped from VC to join Bird as his VP of business – with a large amount of capital flowing into the region to about as much can possibly. This kind of revolving door fundraising process is not quite uncommon, especially for very hot investment areas, although the scooter scene has exploded considerably faster than most. Bird's round comes amid reports of a mega-tower for Lime, one of his competitors, with the company reportedly raising an additional $ 250 million led by GV, and also lift Skip 25 millions of dollars.

"We have met more than 20 companies focused on the last mile problem over the years and we think this is a multi-billion dollar opportunity that can have a big impact in the world", said Saar Gur. the company, said. "We have a ton of belief that this team has an original product thinking (they created space) and chops to build something very valuable here." And we were focused on long term, and not on the short term, to make investment. The "hype" in our decision (the non-zero answer) is that Bird built the best product on the market and while that we have continued to meet more startups who want to invest in space – we were returning to Bird as the best company.Therefore, in this sense, the consumer hype is real and was part of of the decision.On the economy of units: We consider the first product as an MVP (since the company is less than a year old) – and although the unitary economies are encouraging, they have played a role in the investment decision but no We know that this is not even the first in this market. "
There is certainly an argument for Bird, whose scooters are pretty much everywhere in cities like Los Angeles. For trips that are only a few miles away on wide roads or sidewalks, where you do not risk falling on someone, a quick scan of a code and a jump on a bird can be worth the little money to save a few minutes crossing these considerably long blocks. Users can catch a bird that they see and start leaving immediately if they are late, potentially reducing the pressure to call a car for short distances in traffic, where a scooter can actually make more sense physically to get from point A to point B than a car.

There are considerable obstacles both theoretical and effective. In San Francisco, even though the population of the US metropolitan area only accounts for a small portion of the population, the company is experiencing a significant decline in the share government and scooters have been expelled from sidewalks. There is also the looming shadow of what may happen with regard to tariff changes, although Gur said it probably would not be a problem and that "the economy of the unit seems viable even if the rates were to be added to the cost of the scooters ". (Xiaomi is one of Bird's suppliers, for example.)

Q: Is there a sharp distinction between atoms and non-atoms? Suppose we have an electron and proton that are separate... not forming an atom... At some point when bringing them together, they form a hydrogen atom.
What is the dividing line between atom and non-atom and what exactly is the distinction? Is there a sharp difference in the nature of the interaction between an electron and proton when they form and atom and when they don't? What's the nature of this distinction?

A: A hydrogen  atom is formally formed when an electron is sitting in an energy level of the corresponding potential.

A stable hydrogen atom is when the electron is sitting at the n=1 ground level. If it is in any other level the atom is unstable, and the electron will cascade down to the ground level. At the ionization energy, where n theoretically is infinity,a free electron nearing a free proton will cascade down with electromagnetic radiaton  to the ground level. Whether it will be caught, or a slight change in the energy will send it off and away from the proton is a matter of probabilities.
In cosmology it is an important state when free electrons and protons start forming hydrogen atoms. It is a thermodynamic phenomenon, and is described here

A: The electron is defined to be "bound" to the proton if its total energy (kinetic + potential) is negative. In this case there is a maximum distance away from the proton that it can reach. It's very similar to planetary orbits - the electron needs to reach "escape velocity" (corresponding to zero energy) in order to, well, escape.
An atom is defined to be a nucleus and bound electrons. If you give the electron in a hydrogen atom the "ionization energy" for it to escape arbitrarily far from the proton, then the atom falls apart into a nucleus and a "loose" electron.

India holding firm on access to BlackBerry email
By Geoff Duncan	 January 31, 2011
Last year India set a deadline of January 31, 2011, for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion to provide the Indian government access to encrypted communications on the BlackBerry service. Although RIM has provided a way for the Indian government to tap into messages sent using its consumer-level BlackBerry Messenger service, the company has insisted it cannot provide access to encrypted email on its enterprise services, since it doesn't hold the encryption keys. However, India's home minister Palaniappan Chidambaram tells The Wall Street Journal that the country is going to hold firm and "insist they give us a solution for enterprise service too."
RIM has recently indicated it will not be able to comply with India's demands for access to encrypted email service.
It's not yet clear whether the Indian government will carry through on its threat to shut down BlackBerry service in the country if it cannot tap into encrypted email services, or whether it will grant yet-another extension in order for RIM to come up with a solution. India represents an enormous mobile phone market and a burgeoning hub for large enterprises and technology companies: RIM could survive being kicked out of India, but it would be at a competitive disadvantage , since competitors would leverage their ability to operate in India to squeeze RIM out of other markets.
RIM has consistently claimed there is no technological back door that enables it to turn over decrypted email messages from its enterprise services in response to lawful governmental requests, although the company has indicated in the past it can turn over the encrypted data. Industry speculation has centered on India imposing conditions on BlackBerry's enterprise operations such that corporate users would be required to turn over their encryption keys to the government in order to use BlackBerry services. Technically, RIM still wouldn't have a back door to the services…but, in that case, the Indian government would.
India is insisting on access to encrypted communications channels for fear militants and terrorists will use the services to coordinate activities and attacks. Numerous civil and human rights organizations have pointed out that the same monitoring technology can be used to repress free speech, political activism, and other lawful activities, and (of course) could be abused by corrupt agencies or as a result of lapses in security.
However, in a related development, neighboring Pakistan called on mobile operators to shut down BlackBerry service to foreign missions in the country, but quickly reversed the decision and allowed service to be restored. The Pakistani government did not immediately offer an explanation for why it initially ordered the service shut off.

Astra Taylor's "What Is Democracy?"
A conversation about Astra Taylor's new documentary What Is Democracy? with Astra Taylor, David Runciman, and Kali Akuno.
We used to know what we liked about that word 'democracy,' and we were ready to fight for it. Democracy meant "the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time," as E. B. White put it during World War II. In Civil Rights time, Malcolm X rubbed in the rhyme with hypocrisy: a real democracy would never short-change so many people of justice, freedom, the dignity of equality. In our time it's money that seems to have bound and gagged democracy. And it's social media that has wired a sort of zombie democracy into world-wide waves of anger, and the values of circus entertainment.
Astra Taylor and Silvia Federici in "What Is Democracy?"
What can we say about our democracy when a Princeton study finds that the political preferences of the average American have "only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact" on public policy? The filmmaker Astra Taylor took the cue to write one more "death of democracy" book and to make a movie about her own global search for democracy over the ages.

"As I accumulated and read these books, I couldn't help but notice who wrote them. Women authors were decently represented in narrower academic domains, particularly within political theory, as we'll see, but when it came to sweeping treatises aimed at a popular audience, half of humanity seemed to disappear... Troublingly, most of the big books on the theme of self-rule uphold the image of democracy—both doing it and writing about it—as primarily a male business. Even more worryingly, the same trend holds true for the spate of democracy-in-crisis books that have been published since the 2016 election, with Madeleine Albright's recent Fascism: A Warning (another book I confess I haven't read) appearing as a proverbial exception that proves the rule. The People vs. Democracy, The Road to Unfreedom, Can It Happen Here?: Authoritarianism in America, Anti-Pluralism: The Populist Threat to Liberal Democracy, The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels, Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Republic, It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America, How Democracy Ends, and many more—all these books, fresh off the presses, are authored by men of a certain race and class. In crisis is opportunity, as they say, I suppose (or at least a book deal). While I'm sure some of the volumes listed above are perfectly good or at least decent, the handful I've read have left me rather perplexed—consider, for example, How Democracies Die, written by two esteemed liberal scholars whose conclusion includes the hard-hitting observation that Republicans need to fix their party (I'm sure conservative strategists are taking note). What I found odd was the way the alarmism that drives these books coexists with a sense that our political system basically works—or did, as recently as two or three years ago—and that if norms can be upheld, inequality magically kept in check, and reason respected once again, the nation can be put back on track and the slow forward march of progress can continue."
A People's History of Democracy: An Interview With Astra Taylor
Leah Rosenzweig
"As a rule, Taylor approaches her film's interview subjects—from the scholar Cornel West, to a formerly incarcerated hairdresser in Miami, to a young female refugee who fled Syria for Austria by way of Greece—as if they were all philosophers. Each person speaks openly about what they interpret democracy to mean. Some discuss its ideals, others its pitfalls, with a few lamenting its cooptation for nationalistic ends."
From Athens to North Carolina, Filmmaker Astra Taylor Asks: "What Is Democracy?"
John Thomason
"Midway through 'What Is Democracy?,' the political theorist Wendy Brown identifies Jean-Jacques Rousseau as the modern philosopher who departed most starkly from the individualist views held by thinkers like Thomas Hobbes, who famously prioritized bodily security above all else. Rousseau believed that humans could transcend their individual needs and flourish through the kind of collective self-determination that we now identify with successful democratic movements. Yet Rousseau believed that this flourishing did not come naturally. Too many aspects of modern life cut against the inclination to think and act in a collective manner, encouraging us instead to think of ourselves as atomized individuals. Thus, a paradox: Only a people with a democratic orientation can produce a democracy, but a democratic orientation can only come about from genuine experience with democracy. 'How do you make democracy out of an undemocratic people?' Brown asks. 'That's our problem today.' The audience may not step out of 'What Is Democracy?' with a pat answer to its title question, but the film does give us some insight into Rousseau's paradox. After watching Taylor's careful Socratic engagement with her diverse array of interlocutors, it's hard to feel like there's a paradox at all. She may find a dearth of democratic institutions and support for her many subjects—the formerly incarcerated, children from poor families, refugees—but she does not find a want of democratic culture. In almost every conversation, an insistent civic mindedness and recognition of some larger, inclusive group of diverse people—what might be called the social body—eventually comes to the fore. If these aren't the seeds of democratic culture, then I don't know what is. In Taylor's hands, bringing out this culture is a matter of giving people the time, space, and comfort they need to feel recognized. And, finally, a matter of asking the right questions."
'Nostalgia Doesn't Speak to Me, History Does': Astra Taylor on Her New Film and 'Reaching Toward' Democracy
Hannah Gold
"Philosophers since Plato have framed emotions as the unruly passions. Suppress them, they say, and then let's have this reasoned deliberation. If we could just debate among intelligent people with no emotional lives democracy would work—which isn't true. We are emotional, affect is real. The film tries to get over that binary of head and the heart, or the mental and the menial, and that intellectual pleasure is a real thing. An epiphany is an emotion, a sensation. Curiosity doesn't have to be this frigid, disembodied thing on the page. I mean that's not how I live. I think it's a very masculine idea. There's definitely a gender component to it."
Who Is Astra Taylor?
"The central tension – and this is one of the film's key concepts – which emerges during the sequences shot in Miami is the one between democracy and freedom. When she asks several young adults what is democracy, almost all of the Americans say, 'Freedom.' But, as political writer Wendy Brown says, democracy is actually about a commitment to collectivity and at odds with freedom. In a moment in the film that's amusing and distressing at the same time, one of Taylor's interlocutors actually gets it, 'Oh, democracy. That's when they tell you what to do.'"

Expect additional security screenings at Hilo airport | The Honolulu Advertiser | Hawaii's Newspaper
Posted at 1:01 p.m., Thursday, August 10, 2006
Expect additional security screenings at Hilo airport
By Kevin Dayton
At the Hilo airport, the security staff is using the public address system to regularly advise passengers of the heightened security, warning they would be subject to additional "screening" at the gates. The announcements also remind passengers that no liquids will be allowed in carry-on luggage.
The extra precautions were of no particular concern to Betty and Howard Davis of Wellston, Ohio, who were headed from the Big Island to Maui as part of a vacation with their granddaughter, Tamar Kisor, 18. There were no lines at the Hilo security checkpoint and no sign that the extra security precautions would cause them any delay.
The family watched the news last night and they were ready this morning: They were checking in for their flight with little more than a camera, Betty Davis's purse and a cell phone. Betty Davis said the threat did not cause any change in the family's travel plans.
"I guess it's always in your mind, you think about it, but I guess with the security measure in place now, you feel a little safer," said Betty Davis, 55.
Alvin Trapp, of Kihei, worried about how he would repack his belongings to stow his shaving cream and saline solution for his contact lenses — items he had planned to bring with him as carry-on luggage. Airport security advised him those items would not be permitted as carry-on for his trip from Hilo back to Maui.
Trapp said a friend called him last night to warn him about the London arrests.
"It's fear, they're instilling fear in people, is what they're doing," he said. "They take care of it over there (in London), and now I come here today and I find out on the radio, no liquids at all. That's overboard."
Nathan Tyau, 33, called the extra security "necessary." Tyau, of Oahu, was vacationing with his wife, Sommer, and dog, Kekoa. Tyau is a captain in the Hawai'i Army National Guard who spent a year in Iraq, and heard news reports about the threat on the way to Hilo airport.

Canadian babies and toddlers are heavier and longer than WHO Child Growth Standards
Toronto, July 11, 2017
Dr. Joel Ray
Healthy Canadian infants and toddlers are heavier and longer than the World Health Organization Child Growth Standards according to a new study by researchers at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and St. Michael's Hospital.
In 2006, the WHO released universal CGS, intended to describe the optimal growth of children. The WHO Multicentre Growth Reference Study took place between 1997 and 2003, and included children from Brazil, Ghana, India, Norway, Oman and the United States, who were deemed to be free of health or environmental constraints on growth, such as maternal smoking or malnutrition.
"Measuring a child's weight and height is an important and routine aspect of monitoring early growth, but the WHO Child Growth Standards may not reflect the growth of healthy Canadian children," said Dr. Joel Ray, lead author on the study and a researcher at ICES and the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael's Hospital.
The study published today in Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology compared the WHO standards to the growth of 9,964 healthy Ontarian children up to 2-years-old between April 1, 2002, and March 31, 2013, including various feeding practices and maternal place of birth.
The study found:
Canadian children were markedly longer than the WHO standards before 18 months, regardless of feeding practice.
Canadian children had a higher 50th percentile (i.e., median) weight at birth, and again, after 6 months.
By age 2 years, the 50th percentile weight of Canadian males was 823 grams heavier than the WHO standards 50th percentile.
The researchers add that the differences in percentiles of weight, length and Body Mass Index of young Canadian children compared to the WHO standards, regardless of infant feeding practice may impact how the "normal" growth of Canadian children is interpreted.

Ireland was neither for nor against the Nazis during World War II. It was this balance on neither side that partly kept the Jewish population to a minimum throughout the country. There is mention in the history of Ireland of some anti-Jewish speeches and government decisions which could also have helped keep the Jewish population low. As a standard, people admitted into Ireland during the years of World War II were looking to retire as independently wealthy residents with no intention in entering the workforce – these immigrants were often Roman Catholic. There is mention that Ireland was keeping Jewish immigration at a minimum to keep anti-Semitism from becoming a problem. Today, there are only about 2,000 Jewish people in Ireland.
Many women in the Jewish community fight the symptoms of cold in pregnancy with classic chicken soup recipes like this Dublin Jewish Penicillin. Being pregnant is tiring enough without the symptoms of cold in pregnancy.
In a large soup pot, mix creamed soup, water, celery, onion, salt and chicken breasts.
Add chicken seasoning and pepper and bring to a boil.

On most subjects, international trade and cooperation are great things -- but when it comes to online buying and selling, it's best to keep what you do limited to the USA. Whether you're an online seller and get requests from abroad or a buyer who looks for great deals and sometimes finds them overseas, you're at very high risk for anything you do online and abroad. The simple facts are that the law has a very long way to go before it will provide you any real sense of protection, and foreign criminals are acutely aware that they have the upper hand. We don't often realize how much of the economic system here depends upon trust, but there are plenty of crooks living abroad who do realize it and are aggressively trying to take advantage of us.

Applying for the free £150 School Uniform Grant - what parents need to know
The school uniform grant is offered by local authorities to help families on low incomes manage their budgets
Tristan CorkSenior Reporter
As parents across the country begin to think about children attending new schools, or whether or not their youngsters will have grown by September when - in theory at least - children will be returning to a more normal school day, the costs of school uniform grow ever higher.
But thousands of parents across the country can now apply for a one-off school uniform discount to help with their expenses this September.
As part of the Education Act 1980, financial help should be offered by the Government to help with the costs of school uniform, and it is known as the School Uniform Grant.
However, whether or not parents in Bristol and the West of England area are actually entitled to anything at all is something of a postcode lottery.
For even though the School Uniform Grant is law, and the benefit is compulsory in Scotland, where qualifying families can get up to £100 per child each year, in England the law was relaxed over the years, and unfortunately it is no longer a statutory right.
Many councils across the country have done away with the School Uniform Grant, as they face swingeing cuts in the amount of money each local authority receives from the Government.
Ties and blazers could be banned as schools begin to reopen
This means that where you live is the biggest factor in how much, if anything you can get.
Parents in Islington, for example, could be entitled to the full £150.
But in the West of England area, there is a very different story.
The Government have set up a page on its website where you can type in your postcode and it will tell you if you are entitled to the grant or not.
But for parents in and around Bristol, there is bad news. If anyone were to click on the Government's school uniform grant page, and then type in their postcode, then people living in three of the four local authority areas are simply directed to that council's own website.
For North Somerset, Bristol and Bath & North East Somerset have now scrapped the idea of the School Uniform Grant, and say they just can't afford to pay it.

In those places, as is common in most other local authorities, parents who face difficulties affording a school's uniform are urged to talk to the school itself - many schools have funds set up to help, or can sort out affordable options.
But there is one council - South Gloucestershire - where parents can, maybe, get something to help with the rising costs of school uniform.
In the past two years, Mirror Money has heard from dozens of councils who have withdrawn from the scheme - with many stating they no longer have the budget for it.
This includes Stockton, Cornwall, Cambridgeshire and Northumberland - while other areas such as Nottinghamshire now only pay it to children with special educational needs.
Ban the blazer - why school uniform is inherently ridiculous
Nevertheless, it's always worth checking your local authority to see if you qualify.
Right now, residents in South Gloucestershire can apply for up to £25 off, while those in Islington, London, can claim up to £150 off.
If you don't, the Department for Education says that parents may be able to apply for a reduction from their child's school, instead.
"Our guidance emphasises that schools should give highest priority to cost considerations," a spokeswoman told Mirror Money.
"No school uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable to apply to, or attend a school of their choice due to the cost of the uniform," he added.

Applications for the grant typically open in July, but there are strict conditions for any parent living in South Gloucestershire to meet before the council will just give out the free cash for uniforms.
South Gloucestershire council said it provides the grant in 'exceptional circumstances' and it is for essential school clothing available to parents on low incomes.
To receive a school clothing grant you must be in receipt of:
Child Tax Credit, provided you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
Universal Credit and not working
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
And in addition one of the following conditions must also apply - and the council will want evidence of one of these:
you have been affected by a fire, theft or flood
homelessness – for example you are a parent leaving home due to domestic violence
medical condition – for example your child is affected by one of the following: obesity, extreme growth, enuresis or soiling problem
bereavement – your child has lost a parent
conditions of extreme poverty – such as situations where your family are at risk of being made homeless, or affected by high debts etc.
reconstituted families – for example, where your child returns to live with one parent having lived with the other and financial difficulties arise (your child may arrive with no clothing)
move of school due to supported transfer (Permanently Excluded Pupil)

How to apply for the school clothing grant
To apply for the grant you will need to complete the school clothing grant application form and provide a copy of your award letter for the benefits you are receiving. Evidence must also be provided for the secondary conditions. All evidence for both criteria must be dated within the last 3 months.
If your child is eligible you will receive £25.00 if they are already in school and £50.00 if they are transferring schools whatever the age. This includes moving from primary to secondary school, or starting school.
Parent or guardians will receive a letter confirming that they have been awarded the grant and a voucher for the appropriate amount will be at the bottom of the letter. They can take the voucher to a shop or school and exchange for the purchase of school clothing. The voucher is valid for 3 months, from the date the claim was awarded.
If you wish to make enquiries about the school clothing grant please telephone on 01454 868008: Monday to Thursday 8.45am to 5.00pm and Friday 8.45am to 4.30pm or email cis@southglos.gov.uk.

This quiche by Farmstand Manager, Alanna can be suited to your tastes and time of year. Various root vegetables can be used for the "crust": potato, carrot, sweet potato, parsnip or a combination. And various fillings can accentuate depending on what is seasonally available, or what you have in the kitchen.
Bacon, Corn and Thyme: Cook 4 strips bacon until crispy. Break into pieces and set aside. Add to sautéed onion: 1 cup chopped Swiss chard and 1 cup fresh corn (I use leftover corn on the cob- just slice the kernels off), cook until chard is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 Tbs fresh chopped thyme at the end, season with salt and pepper. Use Gryere or cheddar, or your choice of cheese.
Asparagus Chive – Add to sautéed onion: 1 lb. asparagus, ends snapped off and discarded, and broken into four or five pieces per stalk. Sauté until crisp tender and season with salt and pepper. Add 1 TB fresh chopped chives, use goat cheese for 1/2 cheese.
Roasted Garlic, Broccoli Rabe and Sausage – In a pot of boiling salted water, cook 1 lb broccoli rabe until nearly tender, 4 minutes. Drain, squeeze dry, chop and add to sautéed onion, cook until tender, another 2-3 minutes. Toss in 1 cup (4 oz) cooked, crumbled farmer's market sausage mixed with 4 large cloves of roasted garlic. Top assembled quiche with ¼ cup grated gruyere cheese.
OK so, first I get out all of my ingredients and make sure I am ready to go.
Preheat the oven to 375˚ F/ 190˚C.
Then, I concentrate on thinly slicing the "crust" vegetables. It is important to work towards getting not only a thin slice, but also a consistent thickness within a slice and among slices so they all cook the same. Any slices that are too small, or I mess up on, I hide in the middle and who's to know?
I single layer the slices along the pie plate, overlapping generously, and fill up the center as needed to support the edges. Remember this is a perfect place to use those imperfect slices! Overlap the bottom pieces lightly.
Next, sauté the onions or leeks in oil or butter at a medium heat, stirring frequently so that the onions do not brown. Add a couple pinches of salt here. After 3-4 minutes, add any chopped vegetables that need some cooking time: asparagus, kale, broccoli, broccoli rabe, swiss chard, green beans. Cook veggies until crisp tender.
While things are sautéing, in a separate bowl: beat the eggs and add the yogurt, milk and cream. Remember, it is always nice to have help in the kitchen!
Once the onions are soft and translucent, I turn off the heat and add the fresh herbs, so they have a chance to mingle with everything. Taste this mix, and salt and pepper to your liking (remember that the cheese will add a nice salty taste, as will extras like kalamata olives, bacon or sausage).
I take the assembled "Crust" and dump in half of my cheese, and all of the sautéed veggies and any extras. If I have other veggies I add them now (peas, corn, chopped spinach, roasted pepper, roasted garlic). Next, gently pour the egg mixture over everything, being careful not to dislodge the base crust or veggies.
Top with remaining cheese, (some slices of fresh tomato if you want) a couple turns of the pepper grinder, and you've got yourself a masterpiece.
Gently place in the oven and cook for 25 minutes, rotate and cook for another 10. Your house should smell lovely. About now I start checking the finished product. I am looking for the center to be slightly wiggly. Remove from the oven and let rest on a wire rack. The quiche will continue to cook. Let set at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Opus. The Best of Isaac Asimov
שם המחבר\ת: Isaac Asimov
Asimov wrote hard science fiction and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, he was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers during his lifetime. Asimov's most famous work is the Foundation Series; his other major series are the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series. The Galactic Empire novels are explicitly set in earlier history of the same fictional universe as the Foundation series. Later, beginning with Foundation's Edge, he linked this distant future to the Robot and Spacer stories, creating a unified "future history" for his stories much like those pioneered by Robert A. Heinlein and previously produced by Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson. He wrote hundreds of short stories, including the social science fiction "Nightfall", which in 1964 was voted by the Science Fiction Writers of America the best short science fiction story of all time. Asimov wrote the Lucky Starr series of juvenile science-fiction novels using the pen name Paul French.
Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as much nonfiction. Most of his popular science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going as far back as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often provides nationalities, birth dates, and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples include Guide to Science, the three-volume set Understanding Physics, and Asimov's Chronology of Science and Discovery, as well as works on astronomy, mathematics, history, William Shakespeare's writing, and chemistry.

Physical and Virtual Violence ('Bullying') in Schools: A Worldwide Problem to Address
Posted on February 9, 2021 February 9, 2021 Federica VerseaPosted in Children's Rights, Health, violence
Bullying is a long-lasting and, sadly, widespread problem. It is characterized by violent behaviors, both physically and mentally, towards subjects considered easy targets. Commonly the term 'bullying' is used to talk about the phenomenon in the school environment, when the average age is adolescence. With the emergence of social networks and, more generally, the increased online presence of children and adolescents, behavioral issues such as bullying have transferred, spread and adapted to this new virtual world.
Bullying in Schools
Bullying in schools is a dramatic, long-standing and widespread concern all over the world. There is the urgent need to raise global awareness already in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 4, which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, and SDG 16, which points at promoting peaceful and inclusive societies.
Bullying in schools can take many forms, ranging from physical violence, sexual violence to mental violence and most often expressed through acts of intimidation and repression (Council of Europe, 2020). It is thoroughly reported that bullying is one of the most pervasive forms of school violence, affecting 1 in 3 young people. A recent UNESCO report revealed that more than 30% of the world's students have been victims of bullying. (UNESCO, 2020).
How Does Bullying Affect Children?
Bullying deprives children and young people of their fundamental right to education and of their right to learn in a safe, unthreatening environment. Indeed, schools cannot fulfil their role as places of secured learning and socialization if children are not in an environment free of violence. On the contrary, an atmosphere of anxiety, fear and insecurity and the feeling of being an outsider can undermine the quality of education for all learners (Unicef, 2020)
It is clear that bullying has several devastating consequences for the victims, affecting directly the academic achievements, school dropouts, future education, employment prospects, physical and mental health. A recent UNESCO report shows how the overall quality of life and risk behaviors of children victims of bullying is negatively affected (UNESCO, 2020). Indeed, bullying is also associated with higher rates of smoking, alcohol, cannabis use, and earlier sexual experience.
Perpetrators of Bullying in Schools
Mostly perpetrated by peers, evidence reveals that children who are perceived to be "different" in any way are more at risk. Key factors include physical appearance, ethnic, linguistic or cultural background, gender, including not conforming to gender norms and stereotypes, social status and disability.
A recent study entitled "There's a Global School Sexual Violence Crisis and We Don't Know Enough About It" highlights how sexual violence in schools does not seem to be a top priority for the global education aid architecture despite the increasingly worrying number of victims (Center for Global Development, 2020). And this is not just a problem in the developing countries.
Humanium just like many other humanitarian organizations do indeed consider bullying and sexual exploitation to be a violation of human rights because it damages the dignity of those who suffer from it and is contrary to fundamental principles such as inclusion, participation and non-discrimination. Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights indeed affirms that everyone should be able to enjoy the rights and freedoms set forth in the Declaration "without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status." The possibility to enjoy one's rights without discrimination is one of the fundamental principles underlying international law and appears in almost all the most important legal instruments on human rights (Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2020).
New Dangerous Reality – Virtual Bullying
Data from seven countries in Europe show that the proportion of children aged 11-16 years who use the Internet and who had experienced to be bullied virtually (also 'cyberbullying') increased from 7% in 2010 to 12% in 2014 (Unicef, 2020).
Moreover, the UN organization attributed a greater increase due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as more students than ever are living, learning and socializing online. This had led to an "unprecedented increase in screen time and the merging of online and offline worlds", heightening youngsters' vulnerability to bullying and cyberbullying (UN News, 2020).
Offensive name-calling and the spreading of false rumors are the most common forms of cyberbullying and 37% of middle and high school students report having been cyberbullied during their lifetime (Security.org, 2020). Anti-bullying organizations and campaigns aim to educate and empower people to prevent and handle cyberbullying, but the overall feeling from today's youth is that more should be done by the social media companies and our elected officials (Security.org, 2020).
The Council of Europe has launched a new handbook for policy makers on the rights of the child in the digital environment including support to policy makers in dealing concretely with the online rights and protection of children. As 1 in 3 Internet users worldwide are children (Council of Europe, 2020), they represent a large group of digital citizens, which as a vulnerable category also face many risks online and can suffer from human rights violations.
Also, the United Nations have a deep concern about the issue. In fact, the Committee on the Rights of the Child is currently drafting the General Comment on Children's Rights in relation to the digital environment, an indispensable tool for the protection of minors throughout the world. The Draft encompasses and reviews all the base elements of children's rights through the lens of the digital environment: from protections from all forms of discrimination (art. 2) to the best interests of the child (art. 3), the right of access to information from the media (art. 17) and freedom of expression (art. 13), as well as the protection of children from all forms of violence (art. 19). (Draft UN General Comment, Children's Rights in Relation to the Digital Environment, 2020)
How Can We Guarantee School Safety for Children?
Since states have an obligation, enshrined in international law, to protect children from violence, governments should urgently tackle education-related abuses. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child guarantees the right for children to be free from violence, including "physical and mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect and negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse" (UNCRC, 1989).
Moreover, the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) regarding violence against children clearly establishes that states have a positive duty to take effective measures to protect children from abuse. However, violence against children is still too often considered socially acceptable and tolerated in the world today. For example, as UNESCO noted, while starting with Poland in 1783, most of the countries abolished corporal punishment by 2016, but 67 countries still allow corporal punishment in schools, including parts of the United States, some Australian states, and a number of countries in Africa and Asia (Psychol Health Med, 2017).
Based on case studies of six countries that have succeeded in reducing school violence and bullying – Eswatini, Italy, Jamaica, Lebanon, Republic of Korea and Uruguay – and two countries that have maintained low levels over time – the Netherlands and Sweden – there are a number of factors that contribute to effective national responses.
These factors are:
Political leadership and high-level commitment, together with a robust legal and policy framework
Collaboration and partnerships, between the education sector and other sector ministries, civil society organizations, academic institutions, professional associations and the media (but also at school level, involving all stakeholders in the school community and promoting the meaningful participation of children in efforts to prevent and respond to school violence and bullying)
Evidence-based approaches, informed by accurate and comprehensive data and systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of existing programs, establishing effective child-friendly and gender-sensitive reporting, complaint and counselling mechanisms and restorative approaches.
Training and support for teachers and caregivers to prevent and respond to school violence and bullying, and care and support for affected students and positive classroom management, giving priority to children who are especially vulnerable, as a result of race, ethnicity, disability, gender or sexual orientation.
There are also a number of factors that can limit the effectiveness and impact of national responses. These include lack of data on specific aspects of school violence and bullying, and on the sub-groups of students who are most vulnerable, low coverage of interventions, and lack of systematic monitoring of school violence and bullying and of robust evaluation of the impact of programmes (UNICEF, 2020).
Humanium as an organization has proudly contributed to drafting the previously mentioned General Comment on children's rights in relation to the digital environment, by submitting its very own proposal for a General Comment to the UN, in response to the UN's call for NGO participation.

DIAMOND – Clifford George Goodwin's last day on earth was the "day that will live in infamy," but no one knew of his fate for sure until just recently. His life and sacrifice were celebrated at First Baptist, Diamond May 12, 77 years after his death.
Goodwin, an electrician's mate hailing from Diamond in southwest Missouri, was assigned to the bowels of the USS Oklahoma along with his older brother, Daniel, a gunner's mate. Clifford was one of hundreds of men trapped in the ship as the Oklahoma was hit by as many as nine Japanese torpedoes, and capsized within minutes. on Dec. 7, 1941.
Daniel, who lived off base with his wife, immediately ran to the ship when the explosions woke him up. He and hundreds of other sailors searched for his brother and other survivors for a days. Thirty-two men were rescued from the smoldering wreck of a ship, but 429 others were lost.
Because no body was recovered to provide positive identification, his family could not know with 100 percent certainty he was killed in the attack. He was simply listed as missing in action. The elder Goodwin always hoped that maybe his brother had amnesia and was lost somewhere on the island and that ultimately they would find him alive, a family member recently told the Joplin Globe.
Daniel Goodwin returned with his wife, Helen, to Diamond after the war. He died in 1988, she six years later. They're both buried in the Diamond Cemetery. And now, finally, Clifford's remains are there as well. Last October, the Goodwin family learned from the U.S. Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency that Clifford's remains had been identified through DNA samples. The remains of the unidentified casualties are buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, but the agency began exhuming bodies in 2013 for DNA testing. Goodwin is one of 133 sailors and marines who have been positively identified.
When the news came that he'd be identified, his niece, Tausha Johnson, who attends First Baptist, Diamond, knew that was the place to finally honor the sailor lost 77 years prior.
More than 200 people attended the May 12 service at First Baptist, and not a single one of them had ever met the man. His casket was carried into the church by members of the U.S. Navy Honor Guard. Herds of bikers escorted the hearse to the Diamond cemetery, where the bugler played taps, and the Honor Guard fired a three-volley salute, before presenting the flag that draped the casket to his next of kin.
Ron Crow, pastor of First Baptist, said the church was very honored and humbled to host the funeral.

COURT OF CRIMINAL JURISDICTION.
On Thursday last John Fitzgerald was tried at a Criminal Court, on a charge of petty larceny, and pleading Guilty, his Sentence was deferred to the last day of Session.
Sun 19 Mar 1809 - The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1803 - 1842)
Page 2 - COURT OF CRIMINAL JURISDICTION.
On Thursday last John Fitzgerald was tried
at a Criminal Court, on a charge of petty larceny,
and pleading Guilty, his Sentence was deferred
to the last day of Session.
Job Stokes was also tried, on a charge of
burglariously breaking and entering the house of
Thomas Jones, settler at Kissing Point, and
removing a quantity of wearing apparel and other
property, with intent to steal and take the same
away.-The evidence given by the prosecutor
stated, that on the night of the 13th of February
last, or early on the morning of the 14th, he was
awakened by his wife, who informed him there
was some improper person in the room; that
he got out of bed and could find no one until a
child who lay in the apartment informed him that
the person was then close by her bed-side, where-
at the prosecutor took hold of him, and secured
him. This evidence further stated, that he found,
a pannel of the house broke through, and some
articles of his wearing apparel thrown out, the
rest placed conveniently to be taken away,
This testimony was corroborated by the evidence
of Ann Jones; when the prisoner being put on
his defence, he had nothing more to say further
than to deny the act of breaking into the house,
which had been clearly established. It was a case
that required not a moment's hesitation; and one
of the most palpable detections that ever occupied
the attention of a Court.-The unhappy man was
of course found Guilty of a capital offence, and
was taken from the bar to be brought up again
at the end of the session to receive sentence.
Mr. Martin Mason was the same day indicted
tor assaulting and beating Mr. R. Fitzgerald, chief
constable at Hawkesbury. The indictment being
read, and the prisoner put upon his plea, he re-
quested to be permitted to address the Court be-
fore he should answer to the challenge. He was
indulged in his request, and instead of addressing
the Court he produced a long paper containing
a mass of incoherent matter, as incongruous in
itself as it was irrelevant to the subject then before
the Court. After patiently permitting a great part
of the paper to be read, the Court found it ne-
cessary to interrupt the prisoner, and to request
that if he wished to make further remarks it would
be necessity to confine himself a little more to
the Subject under consideration, to which the
contents of the paper had no kind of reference.
Mr. Mason then assured the Court that he had
no intention to plead to the indictment, but
was ready to await any sentence that might be
passed upon him. The Court endeavoured to
dissuade him from so rash a project, as to refuse
to plead must inevitably be attended with all the
consequences of acknowledged guilt, with this
great difference, that the latter may proceed from
penitence and contrition, but the former could
only be considered as an act of obstinacy.
Determined as Mr. Mason was, the Judge Advoacate
was of course obliged to record his refusal
to plead; but the court from motive of humanity
sentenced him to three calendar months impri-
sonment only, and then to be discharged on
payment of a fine of one shilling to the King.
On Saturday the Court assembled and proceeded
to the trial of a case the nature of which
requires no further mention than that the defend-
ant was acquitted of the charge, after which the
Court adjourned to Monday morning nine
o'clock.

Robyn has worked hard on a report all week. The deadline was tight, and, as she hands it over to her boss for an initial read-through, she swells with pride. She knows her boss is going to commend the quality of her work.
However, as her boss reads it, she develops a small frown. A moment later, she hands the report back to Robyn.
"I think you did a good job," she says. "If you'll just rework section two and add the figures I sent over last night, this will be ready to present to the board."
Robyn heads back to her office, crushed. She worked so hard, and her boss thinks the report is lousy. She adds the new figures with a sinking heart, wondering how long it will be before she's demoted or fired. For the rest of the day, she can't get the image of her boss's frown out of her mind. Her mood is down, she's listless, and her work suffers. She even misses a sale with a key client, because she's not on her game.
Clearly, Robyn is blowing the situation way out of proportion. With her pessimistic outlook, she has assumed the worst, and has turned a small setback into a disaster.
How about you? Are you an optimist? Or would you have reacted in the same way as Robyn?
Optimists have been proven to be happier, healthier, more productive and more successful than pessimists. The good news is that optimism is a skill – you can learn how to be more optimistic. In this article, we'll show you how to use the ABC Technique to develop a more optimistic outlook.
This approach was originally created by psychologist, Dr. Albert Ellis. It was then adapted by Dr. Martin Seligman, a University of Pennsylvania professor and past president of the American Psychological Association. Seligman's adapted version was published in his 1990 book, "Learned Optimism."
In short, we encounter Adversity (or, an Activating Event, as per Ellis's original model). How we think about this creates Beliefs. These beliefs then influence what we do next, so they become Consequences.
Here's an example – you yell at your assistant because she forgot to print a key report before your meeting (Adversity). You then think, "I'm a really lousy boss" (Belief). You then perform poorly during your meeting, because your self confidence has plummeted (Consequences).
The key point occurs between adversity and belief. When you encounter adversity, how you tend to explain it to yourself directly impacts your mindset and your relationships. Seligman calls this your "explanatory style," and he says that it is a habit that influences your entire outlook on life.
Pessimistic people unconsciously assume that the causes of bad events are permanent, while optimists believe that bad events are temporary.
For instance, imagine you had a bad day and had no time to help a colleague who needed your expertise. A pessimist might think, "I should never be friends with anyone at work because I'm a terrible friend." An optimist might think, "I was a terrible friend today."
The difference is subtle, but it really matters for your outlook!
Pessimists make universal statements about their lives when something goes badly, while optimists make specific statements.
For instance, a pessimist might think, "All my reports are useless." An optimist might think, "This report was useless."
Again, the difference is subtle. Pessimists take one negative event and allow it to turn their entire work, or life, into a catastrophe. Optimists recognize that they might have failed in one area, but they don't allow that failure to overwhelm other parts of their lives.
When we experience a negative event, we have two ways to think about it. We can blame ourselves for the event (internalizing it). Or, we can blame something outside ourselves (externalizing it).
Pessimists often internalize blame. They think, "This is all my fault," or "I'm too dumb to do this job." Optimists have higher self-esteem because they tend to externalize blame, thinking, "This is all John's fault," or "I haven't learnt enough about this skill yet; that's why I'm not doing well at this task."
Remember – adversity doesn't always cause negative beliefs. This will depend on the event, and your explanatory style.
So, how can you reset your own ABC pattern?
Begin by keeping a diary for several days. Your goal is to listen to your inner dialog, especially when you encounter a stressful or difficult situation.
For each situation, write down the adversity you experienced, the beliefs you formed after encountering the adversity, and the consequences of those beliefs.
Adversity: A colleague criticized my product idea in front of the team during our weekly meeting.
Belief: She's right; it was a dumb idea. I don't have much of an imagination, and now the entire team can see how uncreative I am. I should never have spoken up!
Consequences: I felt stupid and didn't speak up for the rest of the meeting. I don't want to attend any of the other team meetings this week, and have already made an excuse to avoid tomorrow's meeting.
Once you've written down several ABC situations, take a look at what you have found.
Here, you need to look for patterns in your thinking, specifically, how any broad beliefs have led to specific consequences.
To be optimistic, you need to change your beliefs following adversity. This, in turn, leads to more positive consequences.
As you can see, the beliefs you develop after encountering adversity play a major role in your life, and determine whether you're an optimistic or pessimistic thinker. This makes it important to manage negative ABC patterns.
There are two ways to override these: distraction and disputation.
If you want to interrupt your negative thoughts, you need to distract yourself. Simply telling yourself "not to think negatively" isn't going to work: you need to interrupt the cycle.
To do this, try distracting yourself when you start creating negative beliefs.
For example, you could wear a rubber band around your wrist. After you've gone through a stressful situation, and when you begin to formulate negative thoughts and beliefs as a result, snap the rubber band against your skin. This physical sting will remind you to step out of the cycle of negative thinking.
Once you've interrupted your negative thoughts, you need to shift your attention somewhere else. Concentrate intently on something else for a minute.
Although distraction is useful for interrupting negative thinking, a more permanent solution is to dispute them. Think of Disputation as a "D" after ABC.
To dispute your negative thoughts and beliefs, you argue with yourself rationally. In particular, you look for the mistaken assumptions about your explanatory style that we talked about earlier.
We'll use the previous example to illustrate this technique, below.
Disputation: I'm blowing this out of proportion. My colleague had every right to criticize my idea; it was nothing personal, and her critique was spot on. She even commended my creative thinking once the meeting was over. All I need to do is think my ideas through a bit better next time.
You can also add an "E" for "Energization" to the letters A, B, C and D. This is where you take time to think about the positive feelings, behaviors, and actions that could or do follow from having a more optimistic outlook.
Negative thinking can cause severe health problems and, in extreme cases, death. While these techniques have been shown to have a positive effect on reducing occasional negative thinking, they are for guidance only, and readers should take the advice of suitably qualified health professionals if they have any concerns over related illnesses or if negative thoughts are causing significant or persistent unhappiness. Health professionals should also be consulted before any major change in diet or levels of exercise.
The ABC Technique is an approach developed by Albert Ellis and adapted by Martin Seligman to help us think more optimistically.
The technique is based on our explanatory style. That is, how we explain difficult or stressful situations to ourselves, across dimensions of permanence, pervasiveness, and personalization. These thoughts directly impact what we believe about the event, ourselves, and the world at large.
Whenever you encounter adversity you develop thoughts and beliefs about the situation. This, in turn, leads to consequences.
To be optimistic, you must change what you believe about yourself, and the situation, when you encounter adversity. Positive beliefs will, in turn, lead to more positive consequences, and a more positive outlook.
Indeed, the stories we tell ourselves about situations can sometimes be true and other times untrue. So, by changing the story, we can change our reactions!
This cognitive approach to managing stress shows the importance of how the think and talk about stressful people and situations. It is like we have emotional reactions first and then come up with reasons why I feel as I do. We need better rationales.
We're glad to hear that you found the article helpful. Those failure prophecies are terrible self-created obstacles - well done for recognising them.

While the divorce may finally be settled and the artist, she did lose her late father Kurt Cobain's famed 1959 Martin D-18E guitar, which he played during his MTV Unplugged performance in November 1993, in the settlement. However, she does not have to pay spousal support to her ex, according to docs obtained by E! News.
Previously, Silva claimed that Cobain gave him the guitar as a gift, which she has denied ever doing, according to People. The outlet reports that Cobain requested to keep the iconic instrument, but was denied by the judge.
The Blast reports that the acoustic guitar is worth millions of dollars.
Frances Bean Cobain is calling it quits.
E! News confirms that Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain's daughter has filed for divorce from her husband Isaiah Silva, whom she'd secretly wed back in June 2014, in a Los Angeles Superior Court on March 14 citing irreconcilable differences.
The 23-year-old stated in the court documents obtained by E! News that Silva, a 31-year-old rocker with the band The Eeries, is not to have any monetary gain from her late father's estate, which is reportedly valued at $450 million.
"Petitioner requests that all gifts, inheritance, bequests and all other pre-marital assets, and all of her post-separation earnings, and acquisitions, as well as her clothing, jewelry and personal effects, be confirmed and/or awarded to her as her separate property plus all credits, offsets and reimbursements to which she is entitled," the documents state.
Cobain is, however, open to paying and receiving spousal support.
The former couple, who have been separated since February 24, according to the filing, have no kids together. E! News has reached out to Cobain's camp for comment.
Frances Bean went under the radar and married her boyfriend of five years in a small and intimate ceremony on June 29, 2014, E! News reported back in September, and even her famous mom had no idea it was happening.
"Courtney loves Isaiah, but was devastated to learn that Frances had gotten married without her knowing," a source told us at the time, adding that, "Courtney really likes Isaiah and is very happy for Frances. Courtney is sad she wasn't at the wedding."
The insider continued, "Frances called her after but understands why she did it. Frances needs a man in her life and has always craved stability. She's found it in Isaiah," and reassured that, "This has not caused a rift between mom and daughter. Courtney was sad, but she's cool and Isaiah is a great son-in-law."
A source told E! News Frances had been planning her wedding for over a year. The ceremony included 13-15 guests, and the insider explained that the young star's inspiration for the theme of the wedding was daisies in mason jars.
TMZ was first to report the story.

"Ocean Bottom Seismometers"
View "Ocean Bottom Seismometers" Highlights
The sculpture, "Ocean Bottom Seismometers," consists of nine glass hemispheres used for containing ocean bottom seismometers, many or all of which have been deployed by scientists on numerous research expeditions. Artist Christina Weisner found these cases at the University of Texas' (UT) Surplus where they had been sent as discarded material by the UT Institute for Geophysics, one stop away from the landfill. Because Weisner was curious about the former use of these objects, she met with one of the leading scientists in the field of seismology at UT at Austin and learned through stickers denoting serial numbers and ocean-bottom depth where most of the seismometer cases had been previously deployed. These include locations such as the Bering Strait, near Taiwan, and the Chicxulub Crater (an ancient impact crater buried partially underneath the sea near the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico). Scientists at the UT Institute for Geophysics and Information Technology specialists at COA helped Weisner to understand how the actual seismometers worked, as well as taught her to rig them so that they could function in a sculptural installation.
Each of the nine glass hemispheres in the sculpture sits atop a plexiglass cube on which a mallet-rigged system is built to strike the spheres when activated by real-time seismic activity based on live data provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). There are approximately fifty earthquakes worldwide per day. One of the nine spheres houses a working seismometer, which consequently will read and display on a screen the frequency at which the spheres are being hit by the mallets as well as the movements caused by the footsteps of people in the gallery viewing the work. Ideally this sculpture will encourage viewers to consider the macro and micro processes through which we interact with the physical world on a daily basis. The resonating sound made by the mallets hitting the glass alters the space physically and psychologically as the sculpture quite literally creates a composition of tones correlating to the movement of the earth.

Christina Weisner is an instructor in the Department of Fine Arts at COA. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Sculpture and Bachelor of Arts (BA) in World Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University (2006) and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Sculpture from the UT at Austin (2010). In 2013 – 2014, Weisner was awarded a Fulbright Grant for Sculpture and Installation Art to Germany, where she worked on a series of site-specific sculptures based on the Ries Meteorite Impact Crater. Her work often employs found objects, scientific instrumentation and elemental materials, and has been shown both nationally and internationally, most recently at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany and Artfields in South Carolina.
DASH Symposium: "Making Waves"
The DASH (Design + Art + Science + Humanities) Symposium was established in 2013 by the University of North Carolina Coastal Studies Institute. The 2015 Boats and Boards, Ripples and Waves program examined the art and science of waves and the vehicles humans use to navigate them. The 2015 keynote speaker was the incomparable Reuben Margolin, an artist known for his mechanically-driven kinetic sculptures of waveforms. His work has garnered international acclaim and speaks directly to the interchange between the art and science of waves.

What are Signs that a Sewer Line is Clogged?
Plumbing is not something most people think about unless there's a problem. When there is a problem, however, it can dramatically alter daily activities such as bathing, cleaning and cooking. A clogged sewer line may manifest itself in a variety of ways. The following are three signs that your sewer line may be clogged.
Clogs in a sewer system sometimes sound like water percolating. If a strong, unpleasant odor of raw sewage accompanies these sounds, it's likely there is a blockage somewhere in the sewer line. Smoak's Comfort Control recommends avoiding drain cleaners when clearing clogged drains.
When water starts backing up in a toilet or a drain, that's one of the most prevalent signs that there is a clog somewhere in the sewage line. If there's a blockage somewhere, the water has nowhere else to go but back inside the house. Water may also bubble up when it comes back through the drain.
When drains start backing up in more than one location throughout the bathroom or the house, this isn't a good sign. If a combination of sinks, tubs, showers and toilets are all backing up it is likely that a main sewer line is clogged.
If you think you may have a clogged sewer line, it's necessary to call in a plumbing professional. A professional can use a variety of tools, including sewer snakes and optic cameras to determine the exact problem. Smoak's Comfort Control provides a variety of plumbing, heating, and air conditioning services. They offer 24/7 emergency services as well as financing plans. Contact Smoak's Comfort Control for more information.
