Accrington mum's beautiful tribute to daughter, 11, after cancer death
By CH News On Jan 1, 2022
A Hyndburn mother who started a charity in her daughter's memory to support families of children undergoing cancer treatment said she was "extremely honored" to have received a prestigious award.
Every weekday, the Prime Minister recognizes an inspiring volunteer with the Daily Point of Light award, which is presented to outstanding individual volunteers – people who are making a change in their communities.
Lorraine Wilson founded Milly's Smiles to support the wellbeing of children and their families undergoing cancer treatment by providing them with bags filled with both essential and comfort items.

Her daughter Milly was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in November 2014 and died in September 2015, at age 11.
Lorraine, herself an intensive care nurse, wanted to do something in memory of her daughters for other families, and was aware of how disheartening and disorienting it can be for children and their families when they are diagnosed with cancer and an unexpected stay in the hospital. hospital for treatment.
She started out producing Milly's Bags, filled with essential items such as toiletries, as well as a rainbow blanket and other comforts, including a homemade knitted elephant plush toy.
More than 700 Milly's Bags have now been distributed to children undergoing cancer treatment at children's hospitals in Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester, and Lorraine is looking to expand and donate a Milly Bag to every young cancer patient in England.
In September, we reported that the town gate in Great Harwood was lit with gold to mark the Go Gold initiative for childhood cancer awareness in September after a request from Lorraine was passed on to the council by Barton & Hallworth Funeral Services.
"I am very humbled to accept this on behalf of my daughter Milly in recognition of the work I am doing with her charity Milly's Smiles," said Lorraine.
"It is a privilege to support families who are unexpectedly hospitalized after their child is diagnosed with a cancer-related illness. This is where my heart is and I will continue this work for many years to come. Thank you for recognizing our work with such a prestigious honor."
Hyndburn MP Sara Britcliffe said: "Lorraine absolutely deserves this award. The work she has done to give Milly's Bags to children in hospital will have been a comforting blanket for so many children and families going through some of the most difficult times of their lives. to go.
"Lorraine did this after going through the same thing with her own daughter, Milly, and this award is an honor for both of them. Through this work, Milly's memory positively impacts the lives of so many others."

"Living in the Shadow of Death"
"The war is on, but here things are quiet so far (but everyone's walking around carrying a gas mask in a box). We will be staying in Arad today, so feel free to phone me at 4.30 pm (our time) today. (I think it will be 3.30 pm your time).
Fax received on Thursday, 20 March at 10.43 am.
At this moment, at the start of another war, you are at home in Israel. So where does this story begin?
One of the mistakes or errors of people who hope to win this war is the assumption that the story has a beginning and will, hopefully, have an ending. It doesn't have a beginning and will not have a happy ending, perhaps no ending at all. It is going to evolve into the next story and the next story and the next.
Rolled out like a fine Persian rug, your work contains a mosaic of conflicting definitions, deeply reminiscent of Camus' counsel: "neither victim nor executioner".
Any comparison with Camus flatters me because he has been very close to my heart since I was a teenager and sensed an immediate feeling of kinship, not just a Mediterranean kinship, but also a skeptical kinship and a humble kinship. It's never my business to write about good guys and bad guys. I write sometimes about good and evil, but never about good guys and bad guys.
Is there a political kinship between your positions?
Very much indeed. Both Camus and myself harbour great suspicions about all forms of radicalism, suspecting that any form of radicalism represents fanaticism. We both share an extreme skepticism with regard to the complexities of human nature and the inability of any individual to change radically or to be completely reborn. Hence, my fascination with Camus' caution concerning any exclamation mark.
Heraclitus claimed that the "natural state of man is war", with side bets taken along the way by Hobbes and Hemingway. Is the origin of the species war?
Human beings are dangerous creatures. By way of an awareness of their own death, they can become very dangerous. Also, there is ambition in human beings, ambition to change other people. Much of the terrible things people are doing to one another originate from the will to change the other, to save someone else's soul. To change someone, in order to improve them.
Many Jewish writers embrace the sacredness of the word as a sacred law. The book as a living memory in which to live. Is this an escape from reality or a constant for the writer?
I wouldn't call the word sacred. I've never treated any book as sacred. The only thing that I regard as sacred is life, a human life. But yes, I think that language is my real home. I'm more at home in language than in any country. In my case, it's the Hebrew language.
E.M. Cioran said that "every book is a postponed suicide". Is every war an unread book?
Every war is a failure, even if it ends in what is often described as a victory, every war is failure. This I can tell you from personal experience. I have seen it twice in my life at close range, from the battlefield in sixty-seven and in seventy-three, and I tell you the worst thing is to loose a war, but it is almost as bad to win. It's a failure either way.
Like your panther in the basement, are we "living in the shadow of death"?
We are apparently the only species, the only creatures, who know that they are going to die. This gives us a tremendous strength and also tremendous responsibility, because each time we kill someone or even impose pain on someone else, we know what we are doing. We know what pain is. We know what we do when we inflict pain on others. And therefore we are responsible for what we are doing each time we inflict pain on other people.
For Primo Levi, the writer was a voice of memory. Is the writer a voice of conscience?
I wish I could agree. Throughout history there have been writers who have lent their voices to the most terrible tyrants, to the most terrible fanatics, and to the most terrible extremists. So I wish I could simply say yes, the writers are the voice of conscience and the voice of memory. But unfortunately, they might become the voice of almost anything.
And they might believe their own voice.
Yes, and they might loose their own voice and, even worse, they might sin their voices, for dachas, prestige, recognition, and for money. So I am far from idealizing the writer as being a superior example of the human species.
Prophets are more famous through their false predictions than what they actually say. Why have you been called the prophet of modern Israel?
I've never regarded myself a as prophet. I regard myself as a meaningful citizen, active citizen, conscientious citizen, also warring citizen, but certainly not as a prophet.
Is this the onset of perpetual war?
Sometimes war is the only thing that saves your life from a murderer. Or saves your life from a robber. But war can never change other people's hearts and minds.
For the past six months we have been preparing for war. Who has prepared us and why we are in this war?
Arrogance and self-righteousness. You hear the voice of Saddam Hussein and you notice his vocabulary. This morning he said: "We will humiliate our enemies." Whereas George Bush constantly speaks about evil. In his speeches, every fifth word is evil. Now if you live in a world of good and evil, or if you live in a world where your sole purpose is to humiliate, you end up like two straight hoodlums, two drunken hoodlums. Though Bush and Hussein are not on the same level, they both represent a measure of self-righteousness and arrogance.
In the second installment of the Divine Comedy where would they be placed?
There are not enough levels in Dante's inferno. I am a great believer in the need to grade evil, to grade error, to grade misdeeds, and they are not on the same level.
Do they share any similar purposes?
Norman Mailer now shares Gore Vidal's view that the American dream has aspired to empire.
The paradox is that Saddam Hussein, along with other militant Islamists, are dreaming of nothing else. They also share the desire of creating or reviving an Islamic empire. The desire to control the world is a childish desire, a very childish desire. Every desire to control the world or to straighten others contains a certain grain of fanaticism. It's the nature of fanatics to always want to change others.
I can tell you one thing. I am a great believer in the teaspoon. I think every human being has a teaspoon. And when we see a huge fire, it's our business to fill our teaspoons with water and to throw it on the flames.
Is the Israel - Palestine conflict solely concerned with "real estate"?
Essentially there are two nations, two peoples, both claim a very small country, smaller than the Czech Republic, as their one and only home, and they both are right. There is no other country in the world which Palestinian Arabs can call home. The only country they can call home is Palestine. There is no other country in the world which Israeli Jews can call home, but Israel. And both are right, both have no other home. Unfortunately, they cannot share it like a happy family, they have to divide it, until it will be detached into a two-family unit.
In an age where stupidity has replaced ignorance, why aren't we satisfied with our fundamental pessimism?
People claim that all ideologies are dead, but this is not true. There is one prevailing ideology that seems to be at work almost everywhere: shameless egotism, or selfishness. People have always been selfish, but selfishness as an ideology, selfishness as both an economic and political system worn on lapels - this is new. And I am against it, because it is a dead end road.
As an act of betrayal?
Of course. You can only commit a betrayal if you love somebody. In this case, yourself.
You noted that "hatred continues forever. And what is the conclusion"?
I am one of those people who humbly accept that there are more questions than answers. This one I cannot answer.

Innsbruck – Austria
Although the city was first documented as Innsbruck in 1187, it nonetheless has a history of Roman roots. After all the valley and the river Inn were of immense importance as a way of safely reaching the Northern provinces. Until the 13th century the area was a Bavarian property and in fact belonged to the territories of the counts of Andechs.
The nomination as residential city of Tyrol in the 14th century is marking the beginning of the city's boom. The city tower and "Neuhof", the first residence of the Tyrolean local rulers is built right in the medieval city centre. This former residence only became famous in the year 1500, when an alcove balcony with 2.657 fire gilt shingles had been added to the building. Nowadays the town's landmark is well-known all around the world as "Goldenes Dachl" (Golden Roof) of Innsbruck.
In the period that followed Hofburg Innsbruck, thanks to famous Empress Maria Theresia equipped with baroque design, and court garden were laid out. The palace complex and splendid St. James Cathedral are still witnesses of Habsburg monarchy's great era.
Lately Innsbruck evolved into a modern university city, without losing its historical identity and distinctive charm. In 1964 and 1976 Innsbruck hosted Winter Olympics even twice, and Bergisel ski-jump, sitting enthroned high above the city on historic Bergisel, became another one of Innsbruck's landmarks.
Innsbruck is impressing with its diversity and its charm, with its picturesque idyll and the green river Inn, carving its way through the old city at Karwendel. You will be delighted with the abundance of impressions and the richness of possibilities, that Innsbruck is presenting.
Innsbruck is offering that much art, culture and other stuff being worth looking at, that you can spend an entire day in this city at the river Inn. Find some possible activities below:
Swarovski Kristallwelten: 20 km away from Innsbruck you will find Swarovski Kristallwelten, which were in 1995, for the company's centenary. They are offering a breathtaking insight into decoration of former times combined with crystals' shine.

As many families scramble to move before the new school term in September, the demand for family homes is growing.
"There are not enough family homes on the market," says Lisa Mackenzie, Regional Sales Director, South West London who estimates that 50% of the buyers in her region are looking for houses.
The criteria for buying a family home varies but some of the most sought after houses are those close to good state schools. According to analysis from property website PrimeLocation, London homes within well-regarded school catchment areas, carry an average premium of 7% (though it can be more).
A three bedroom Victorian terrace within the catchment area of Furzedown primary in Tooting, costs approximately £550,000 to £650,000.00. Just outside this area, prices are up to 10% lower. "School catchment is most relevant with £500,000 to £700,000 priced houses," says Mackenzie, who adds that it becomes less of a criteria, the more expensive the home is.
Prices in areas such Wimbledon and Earlsfield have risen so quickly – a three to four bedroom home in Wimbledon can be in the region of one million pounds - and become so popular that catchments areas are less important. Though some families still buy in the catchment area of popular state schools others choose homes in these suburbs to be near the good private schools.
Arguably the best value homes, are those near faith or selective schools but which are not "catchment dependent". Many of the large Victorian and Edwardian villas in Streatham fall into this category and are in demand. The four and five bedroom homes which cost roughly £900,000, are spacious, at 2,500 square feet, often have large, 100 foot gardens and offer good value. On Wandsworth Common, a six minute train journey away, the same size home would be well in excess of £1.5million.
More affordable boroughs are also popular with people wanting to trade areas. Robert Cornthwaite, Manager of KFH Streatham branch, sees many buyers swop a big house in Balham for a similar size but significantly cheaper home in Streatham, to free up money for private school fees. Cornthwaite says, "There is a buyer for everything at the moment".

Hussain al Nowais is the managing director and chairman at Emirates holdings in Abu Dhabi. Being a global industrialist and a renowned business strategist, he has a lot of experience in different sectors such as the banking sector, construction, real estate and investments among others. Because of the experience and skill from the various sectors in business has become someone to look up. He has been an inspiration to many and there are many important lessons that people have drawn from him.
First and foremost, vision is very important for any leader for example a CEO. Being a leader full knowledge of the business from the inside out is something that you must have. You should know exactly where the company is headed and where they ought to be. Only then will they be able to guide the employees under them on how to go about things. The cause of action to be taken and decisions to be made is dictated by the vision. As of direction is achieved by the company and everyone in them.
One must be accessible and approachable by everyone in the company or business and this is another important quality that has been learned. What has taken over as the approach not is the open-door system. This simply means that anyone can be able to approach leadership without any hindrances and share their hearts and mind concerning certain things that could be troubling them.
Respect is another great quality. Respect is one thing that is two-way in that when you respect someone you're also respected in return. Respect your employees even though they are under you and are under your command because it is always good respect. This is very important because instead of commanding respect you and your respect and peaceful coexistence is fostered between you and your employees. You will be a good example to employees and they will emulates these when relating among themselves.
One thing that has also been pointed out is learning from people even as you scale up the ladder. Those people around us always teach us something for instance even those who are below us for example employees. As you scale up the career ladder, it is important that you continue learning from people and not to despise anyone. Whatever you learn all is make sure you apply and put into practice so that it ceases to be knowledge but it may also transform you.
The last important thing is even to yourself and others, you must be true and honest. People will likewise be true to you as you become true to them.

Monuments Of Ahmednagar, Monuments Of Maharashtra
Monuments of Ahmednagar are chiefly attributed to the Nizam Shahis, who founded and beautified the city.
The monuments of Ahmednagar are magnificent constructions mainly built by the rulers of the Nizam Shahi dynasty. The town was founded by Ahmad Nizam Shah in 1494 on the site of an earlier settlement. The Nizam Shahi dynasty of Ahmadnagar beautified the city of Ahmednagar by means of a number of architectural works of art, such as forts, palaces, mosques etc. Situated on the flood-plain of the Sina River, the town was Ahmednagar became the centre of a powerful state under the Nizam Shahi dynasty. They went on to build, renovate and fortify the place and subsequently, it was the only state on the west coast of India to maintain control in the face of Portuguese piracy.
A number of monuments are found in Ahmednagar of both historical and religious interest.
Historical Monuments of Ahmednagar
Chief among the historical monuments are the fort and Farah Baksh palace. To the East of the city at a distance of about 800 miles is the fort built by Husain Nizam Shah in 1559. The main entrance is protected by a powerful circular bastion. In plan the fort is more or less circular in shape and almost 533 ft in circumference. Built of dressed ashlar up to the level of the wall-walk, the outer wall is crenellated with embrasures that are about 60 ft high with a glacis to the outer ditch. Twenty-two circular bastions, including one which is three-lobed, reinforce the defences.
The fort was taken over by Akbar in 1599. Later it was taken from the Nizam by the Marathas. In 1797 the fort was assigned to Daulat Rao Scindia, from whom it was captured by Lord Wellesley on 12 August 1803.
The construction of the Farah Bakhsh Palace was started in 1508, completed in 1574 and rebuilt in 1583.It is mostly in ruins now.
The buildings around the Niamat Khani, which were erected between 1576 and 1578, are also in a similar state.
Religious Monuments of Ahmednagar
The city has an interesting heritage of Islamic monuments. Many mosques, tombs and dargahs are found here, indicative of an Islamic society.
The town is famous as the residence of the historian Ferishta (1570-1611) and as the last resting-place of Emperor Aurangzeb, who died here on 3 March 1707. Alamgir's Dargah, a small enclosure near the cantonment, marks his final resting-place before his burial at Aurangabad.
The Qasim Mosque (1500-1508) is one of the best. Small and plainly detailed, it is built of dressed stone with two aisles on either side of the nave. The Husaini Mosque was built by a Persian Shiite who settled here and established a madrasa. The dome of the mosque is spherical and resembles early Persian style, with a broad span carried on a high drum.
The mosque in the Kothla enclosures was constructed in 1536-7 as part of a Shia university under royal patronage. It is a classic example of the flat-roofed technique; built in dressed stone with a heavy eaves cornice over the facade.
The Farhad Khani Mosque built in 1560, has ornamental crestings over the main entrance. A multifoil arch with minarets surrounds the entrance of the courtyard, which has arched chambers and projecting corbelled eaves.
Mecca mosque was built by Rumi Khan, a Turkish officer of artillery under Ahmad Nizam Shah. It was constructed sometime between 1505 and 1525 with trap and limestone masonry. The facade has four unusual polished stone pillars resembling black marble, reputedly brought from Mecca. It may be mentioned here that Rumi Khan is well known for having cast the Malik-i-Maidan cannon at Bijapur.
During the reign of Uurhan Nizam Shah, flat -roofed structures with taller minarets emerged as a distinct style. The Mosque of Ghulam Ali, near the Gandhi Maidan, is typical of this, with sleek minarets.
The Damadi Mosque, located 800 metres east of the fort, was constructed between 1567 and 1568. It is a small mosque with beautifully carved details and corner piers which carry highly ornamented minarets. The parapet is battlemented with indentures. The carved stonework is superb. Outside the Zenda Gate is the Kari Mosque or Aghi Behizad, with a stilted dome and four high corner minarets.
The Tomb of Nizam Shah, one of the finest and best-preserved buildings in the city, is situated in a large enclosure on the left bank of the River Sina. Inside, enough of the original ornamental stucco work survives for the overall effect to be gauged, including geometric designs and texts from the Holy Quran, once highlighted in gold. The tomb is enclosed by a 10 ft wall with four gates on each side. The facade over the main entrance is decorated with beautifully chased stucco work. Adjacent is a canopy alleged to cover the grave of a redoubtable elephant which rendered invaluable assistance at the Battle of Talikota in 1565 AD against the Vijayanagara Raja.
A number of other Islamic tombs can also be seen, including those of Abdur Rahman Chishti and Rumi Khan. The latter has a stilted dome with a band of petals around the base and a trefoil battlement.
The Tomb of Salabat Khan or the Chand Bibi lies 6 miles east of the city at the summit of a hill. It is an octagonal tomb of three storeys without any inscription.

Qtrax Finally Goes Legit
By Jamie Lendino
Qtrax, the legal P2P music start-up, really has signed a licensing agreement with a major label this time, CNET News reports:
"On Tuesday, the company announced it has inked a deal with Universal Music Group, the largest of the four major record companies. The partnership comes four months after the labels denied the company's claim that they had agreed to supply music for the site."
They were pretty low-key about this announcement, quietly issuing a press release. That's as opposed to the star-studded, gushing party they threw in January to celebrate a bunch of lies.

Just like rugs, hardwood, and tile flooring carpet will become dirty over time. How long you can go between professional carpet cleaning depends on your treatment of your floors and your cleaning habits.
Professional carpet cleaners are a necessity, especially if you have thick or lightly-colored carpets in your home. The fibers can become stained, worn, or tamped down by the constant foot traffic throughout your home. This goes double if you have pets going in and out.
Establish a "no-shoes" rule. Invest in a shoe rack, and politely instruct guests and family members to remove their shoes at the door. This is a cultural norm in many places, so you won't look odd for asking.
Move your furniture often. Regularly adjusting your furniture just a few inches from its original location can prevent people from wearing tracks into the carpet. This small change can significantly improve the lifespan and appearance of your carpets.
Vacuum regularly. Vacuuming removes dirt, fluffs carpet fibers, and leaves your floor looking clean and rejuvenated. If you leave dirt in the carpet fibers for too long, foot traffic can grind it farther into the carpet. It's better to vacuum weekly and keep your floors fresh.
Spot-check. You can ask The Dry Guys about safe, reliable carpet cleaning products for your carpet style. Keep a bottle and rag on hand in case there's an accident, and tackle stains before they can ruin your carpet. Remember – blot, don't scrub!
Arrange for regular cleanings by The Dry Guys at least every six months. If you live in a home with pets or kids, you might need to make this call more often.
Only use carpet cleaners with the latest equipment. The Dry Guys use HOST cleaning system, which removes dirt, grime, and stains and leaves your carpets fresh, fluffy, and dry enough to walk on after only a few hours.
Regular carpet cleaning and dedicated upkeep between cleanings can extend the life of your carpeting and keep your home looking beautiful. Call the Dry Guys for an evaluation today, and don't forget to ask about our spot cleaning kit.

Archaeologists Find 3,000-Year-Old Likely Thracian Child Burial in Bulgaria's Rahovets Fortress
August 15, 2018 · by Ivan Dikov · in Ancient Thrace, Antiquity, Bulgarian Empire, Middle Ages

A 3,000-year-old child burial, most likely Ancient Thracian, has been discovered at the Antiquity and medieval fortress of Rahovets near Gorna Oryahovitsa in Central North Bulgaria, providing more evidence the site had been inhabited earlier than originally thought.
Before the discovery of the child graving dating back to before 1,000 BC, Rahovets was known to have existed as a settlement and later as a fortress from the 6th century BC until the 15th century AD.
It was used consecutively by the Ancient Thracians, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Bulgarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire.
It was excavated by archaeologists between 1985 and 1991, and again since 2015. The 2015 excavations in the fortress were notable because they led to the discovery of a Bronze Age home and an Ancient Thracian Antiquity fortress wall leading to a hypothesis that medieval Rahovets may in fact have been the successor of the Ancient Thracian fortress Zikideva.
In 2016, the archaeologists discovered the medieval marketplace of the Rahovets Fortress.
In the High and Late Middle Ages, the Rahovets Fortress was a major stronghold in close proximity to Tarnovgrad (today's Veliko Tarnovo), the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire.
The fourth consecutive archaeological season since the digs in the Rahovets Fortress were restarted in 2015 began in June 2018, and has already produced intriguing discoveries.
The archaeological team led by Iliyan Petrakiev from the Veliko Tarnovo Museum of History decided to expose part of the outer side of the fortress wall, and as a result have come across two graves right outside of it, the Trud daily reports.
The more ancient one is that of a child who was buried more than 3,000 years ago in a fetal position.
"We believe that the grave dates back to the Early Iron Age, and is thus over 3,000 years old," lead archaeologist Petrakiev is quoted as saying.
He notes that the sex and age of the buried child, whose grave is oriented north to south, are yet to be determined through anthropological and DNA analyses.
Just centimeters away from the Iron Age child burial, his team stumbled upon another burial in a higher archaeological layer from the Middle Ages. The adult person in question was buried according to the Christian customs, and their grave is oriented east to west.
"It is interesting that for a second year in a row we are coming across graves north of the residential area [of the fortress], and it is surprising that we are finding them outside the fortress wall. The conclusion we draw is that the Rahovets Fortress was inhabited as early as the Early Iron Age," Petrakiev elaborates.
For the time being, the Gorna Oryahovitsa Museum of History and Gorna Oryahovitsa Municipality have not published any photos of the newly discovered burials in the Rahovets Fortress.
"[This season] we've continued to work on the sections that we had already researched but our goal was to go deeper, beneath the layers that have been exposed so far," the archaeologist explains.
He made it clear that the team intended to reach the earliest traces of human settlement in the Rahovets Fortress.
In 2017, the archaeologists discovered a skeleton who is believed to have belonged to a person of Cuman origin.
Samples from it have been sent for analysis to the Department of Genetics of Harvard Medical School as part of a project studying human remains from Paleolithic settlements. The supposedly Cuman skeleton was also include in the project even though it is from the Middle Ages.

If the person's Cuman origin is proven, that will lend credibility to a hypothesis that during the Second Bulgarian Empire, the Rahovets Fortress was inhabited by Cumans, close allies of Bulgaria's Asenevtsi Dynasty ("House of Asen").
The 2018 archaeological excavations of the Rahovets Fortress have been carried out with a total of BGN 38,000 (appr. EUR 20,000) of funding, including BGN 20,000 from Gorna Oryahovitsa Municipality, BGN 13,000 from Bulgaria's Ministry of Culture, and BGN 5,000 from the National Museum of History in Sofia.
The ancient and medieval settlement and fortress of Rahovets is located near the town of Gorna Oryahovitsa and the city of Veliko Tarnovo, in Veliko Tarnovo District, Northern Bulgaria. It existed as a settlement and later as a fortress from the 6th century BC until the 15th century AD, and was used consecutively by the Ancient Thracians, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Bulgarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. The Rahovets Fortress is located at a curve of the Yantra River, on a hill towering about 100 meters over the surrounding area.
The site of the Rahovets Fortress was inhabited by the Ancient Thracians, during the Iron Age, as early as the 6th century BC. Some Bulgarian scholars have hypothesized that the settlement that later became known as the Rahovets Fortress was part of a huge regional fortification system in Thracian times, and/or that Rahovets was in fact the ancient city Beripara, the alleged capital of the Thracian tribe Krobyzoi (which might have belonged to the Thracian tribes of the Gets (Getae) or the Dacians), or that it was the legendary Thracian fortress Zekideva. However, these hypotheses have not been proven. The Roman Fortress of Rahova, later called Rahovets, was built in the 3rd-4th century AD as part of the fortification system guarding the roads in the Roman province of Moesia Inferior (later divided into Moesia Secunda and Scythia Minor).
Rahovets remained an important fortress during the period of the Early Byzantine Empire (Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages), during the First Bulgarian Empire (632/680-1018 AD), then again during the period of Byzantine domination over Bulgaria (1018-1185 AD). It became especially important during the Second Bulgarian Empire (1185-1396), which was created after the Uprising of Asen and Petar (later Tsar Asen I and Tsar Petar IV) against the Byzantine Empire in 1185-1186 AD when Tarnovgrad (today's Veliko Tarnovo) was declared capital of Bulgaria.
It became part of a set of fortifications which protected Tarnovgrad from the north. There are hypotheses that Rahovets used to be the locations of the coin mint of the Tsars from the Second Bulgarian Empire, and while these hypotheses have not been confirmed, Bulgarian archaeologists have indeed discovered there evidence of metal smelting during the Middle Ages. They have also found a residential area outside of the fortress, between the fortress wall and the Yantra River, known as the Dark City, meaning that it might have been the site of a large medieval city, where the Rahovets Fortress had the role of a citadel.
After the invading Ottoman Turks conquered the Second Bulgarian Empire at the end of the 14th century, they continued to use the Rahovets Fortress. The fortress was destroyed only in 1444 AD by the forces of Polish King Vladislav (Wladyslaw) III ((r. 1424-1444 AD) who launched two unsuccessful Crusades against the Ottoman Empire in 1443 AD and 1444 AD (he is also known as Vladislav Varnenchik (Vladislav of Varna) because he was killed in the Battle of Varna in 1444 AD).
After that, the Turks abandoned the Rahovets Fortress completely. While much of the archaeological structures at the Rahovets Fortress had survived until the beginning of the 20th century (including fortress walls, towers, and gates described by Czech-Bulgarian archaeologist Karel Skorpil), those were destroyed in 1913 by a strong earthquake with an epicenter in the nearby town of Gorna Oryahovitsa.
The Rahovets Fortress was first mentioned in historical sources by Byzantine chronicler George Pachymeres (1242-1310) in 1304 AD, and again in 1460 AD by German wandering singer Michael Beheim (1416-ca. 1472) in a poem based on the story of a crusader knight from the second Crusade of Polish King Vladislav (Wladyslaw) III against the Ottoman Empire aiming the liberation of Bulgaria and the other Balkan Christian nations in 1444 AD. In the early 20th century, Czech-Bulgarian archaeologist Karel Skorpil drafted a blueprint of the preserved ruins of the Rahovets Fortress, which, however, were destroyed further by an earthquake in 1913.
The Rahovets Fortress was excavated only between 1985 and 1991 by Veliko Tarnovo archaeologists Yordan Aleksiev, Ivan Bachvarov, and Hitko Vatchev. They excavated partly the western, northern, and eastern fortress wall, which were about 3 meters thick. The archaeological digs at the fortress confirmed not only its significance during the Second Bulgarian Empire but also the fact that as a settlement it is really ancient: the Bulgarian archaeologists found a large amount of Ancient Thracian ceramics, and amphora seals testifying about the connections with the Hellenic world. They also discovered the nearby remains of a rural Ancient Roman villa (known as villa rustica) from the 3rd-4th century AD, ancient coins, decorations, and tools as well as artifacts and arms from the Second Bulgarian Empire.

Magic Sword is one of the more unique acts to find their name in music fans mouths in recent months. The anonymous duo have created an enigmatic presence for themselves by combining genre-bending compositions with comic book folklore, and their new EP, Legend, sees a return to true form.
Productions akin to what Daft Punk put together for 2010's Tron: Legacy accompany electric guitar riffs fit for hair metal ballads throughout Legend. The EP release coincides with that of a comic book of its namesake by the same creator, so it stands to reason that the music is intended to accompany the story of its main character, The Keeper (which also happens to be one of the member's pseudonyms).
Magic Sword's debut album, Volume One, came out in 2012 – also with a comic book of the same name. The project gained traction and every copy sold out, necessitating a re-release in 2015.
Legend is but the first in a series of EPs that Magic Sword will release throughout 2016. Each will come out through Steve Angello's Size Records imprint, and will portray another chapter of The Keeper's illustrious tale.
Check out Legend in full above and as always, drop a comment below letting us know what you think.

Incidence and prognosis of asthma and wheezing illness from early childhood to age 33 in a national British cohort
BMJ. 1996 May 11;312(7040):1195-9. doi: 10.1136/bmj.312.7040.1195.
D P Strachan 1 , B K Butland, H R Anderson
1 Department of Public Health Sciences, St George's Hospital Medical School, London.
DOI: 10.1136/bmj.312.7040.1195
Objective: To describe the incidence and prognosis of wheezing illness from birth to age 33 and the relation of incidence to perinatal, medical, social, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
Setting: England, Scotland and Wales.
Subjects: 18,559 people born on 3-9 March 1958. 5801 (31%) contributed information at ages 7, 11, 16, 23, and 33 years. Attrition bias was evaluated using information on 14, 571 (79%) subjects.
Main outcome measure: History of asthma, wheezy bronchitis, or wheezing obtained from interview with subjects' parents at ages 7, 11, and 16 and reported at interview by subjects at ages 23 and 33.
Results: The cumulative incidence of wheezing illness was 18% by age 7, 24% by age 16, and 43% by age 33. Incidence during childhood was strongly and independently associated with pneumonia, hay fever, and eczema. There were weaker independent associations with male sex, third trimester antepartum haemorrhage, whooping cough, recurrent abdominal pain, and migraine. Incidence from age 17 to 33 was associated strongly with active cigarette smoking and a history of hay fever. There were weaker independent associations with female sex, maternal albuminuria during pregnancy, and histories of eczema and migraine. Maternal smoking during pregnancy was weakly and inconsistently related to childhood wheezing but was a stronger and significant independent predictor of incidence after age 16. Among 880 subjects who developed asthma or wheezy bronchitis from birth to age 7, 50% had attacks in the previous year at age 7; 18% at 11, 10% at 16, 10% at 23, and 27% at 33. Relapse at 33 after prolonged remission of childhood wheezing was more common among current smokers and atopic subjects.
Conclusion: Atopy and active cigarette smoking are major influences on the incidence and recurrence of wheezing during adulthood.

OPINION: I went from homeless to Harvard, learning lessons that can help others
by admin | Jan 10, 2023 | IPGCE
I'm not supposed to be alive, much less thriving. When I was 6 years old, my pregnant mom and I became chronically homeless. For almost my entire childhood, we slept in squalid shelters, in abandoned homes infested with rats and without running water, on discarded mattresses in alleyways and on cold, metal bus station benches. I've been nearly stuck with a used needle and threatened by men who saw me as prey.
Living in extreme poverty means experiencing new trauma every day. This is why homeless students often fail to graduate and frequently enter the criminal justice system or suffer from debilitating chronic illness. I was doomed to fail, simply because I had lost the American life lottery.
But instead of failing, I became an "exception." I am a Harvard graduate, nationally recognized advocate for homeless youth and an education professional supporting family engagement in a network of charter public schools. My story as an exception is celebrated. I even appeared on "Oprah" years ago. To this day, I am praised for surviving homelessness.
The problem with this is that the idea of the exception feeds the myth that anyone in our country can achieve success if they simply want it enough and work hard enough. This myth leads us to faulting individuals for their struggles instead of the power structures and social systems that define who is worthy of success.
I'm not asking educators to take on society's larger systems of oppression, but we can certainly disrupt our own.
For example, one of the reasons I became an exception and escaped the cycle of poverty is that I mastered the art of being a "good Black child." I was compliant, didn't question authority and hid my personal trauma down deep, where no one could find it, including myself. My most powerful advocate — my mom — was punished for not representing the "good Black mother." That is why this exception concept is truly insidious. It denies the humanity of every other child (or parent) who isn't able to hide their trauma, like I was.
Systems of oppression exist everywhere there is power, but our public education systems perpetuate the worst kind of all: oppression disguised as opportunity. We say that all children have the right to the same quality education, but then we coerce poor children into persisting with an education we would abhor for our own kids.
As educators, we can change this. I'm not asking educators to take on society's larger systems of oppression, but we can certainly disrupt our own. We can break the cycle of poverty for every single one of the families and students in our schools — not just a few exceptions — by engaging these families as equal partners in their child's education. We must value families' humanity by making them part of the solution, rather than always making decisions for them and centering only ourselves as the experts.
I work for Rocketship Public Schools in Washington, D.C. We're in a city in which 75 percent of students are economically disadvantaged and 45 percent are at risk. Across Rocketship's three DC campuses, one out of every five students is homeless. This means that far too many Rocketship D.C. students experience the same type of daily trauma that I did.

Many schools serving students living in extreme poverty point to the daily traumatic experiences these students face as the very reasons they can't learn. Instead of engaging their families in the solution, they blame them for the trauma their children are experiencing, while also failing to recognize that these families themselves are suffering from the consequences of oppression, including trauma. Eventually, many of these children become a "lost cause," a "disposable" person in our society. The cycle of poverty continues.
Family engagement is the key to breaking cycles of poverty; research on trauma has shown that healthy support from parents and other adult caregivers is, in fact, the key to offsetting the negative consequences of toxic stress in children. Familial influence, when leveraged effectively, can help children develop coping skills and resilience and create unheard-of academic outcomes. It did for me.
One solution Rocketship D.C. is implementing is the School Site Council model, which enables equal decision-making power between school leaders and families. This is not another name for a parent-teacher organization. This is a formalized structure that puts decision-making power into the hands of families. The School Site Councils examine school policies; support social-emotional learning instruction and extracurricular programs; develop schoolwide focus areas, goals and ways to address achievement deficits; and build a positive school climate and culture.
We believe that the society we are trying to create can be modeled inside our school walls by sharing power with our families, and the School Site Council model is one of many ways we do this. Our teachers also start the year by visiting each of their students' homes. Each family works with us to track their child's individual learning goals and is given the tools and the encouragement to be their child's advocate.
Breaking down systems of oppression within public education requires building relationships with families based on mutual respect and trust. We can no longer afford to put family engagement on the list of things that are "nice to have" for schools serving low-income families. Engagement is essential if we want to stop celebrating exceptions, and instead celebrate ending generational poverty for entire school buildings full of children. That level of change will impact not just our families, but entire communities and generations to follow.

In this day and age, it is not adequate that educational institutions just stimulate a student's intellectual appetite. But how can schools produce industry leaders and not just hard-working employees?
Sep 19, 2016-Merely a few decades ago, a certain set of rules were universally applicable to students—a student was supposed to be disciplined, obedient and subservient to the authority projected by a teacher. In turn, through the most of the 20th century, schools and universities around the world produced fantastically well-disciplined subordinates who joined the workforce and did highly-specified tasks that were handed out to them, without ever questioning their managers or business owners. Times, however, are changing. In today's fast-paced cut-throat world, it is not just enough that an employee is a hard worker and a productive sub-ordinate—they are expected to exhibit leadership skills right from the off-set. Today, it is not just sufficient that an employee can follow given directions well; they are expected to lead and co-create simultaneously. Which is why, leadership has become one of the hottest buzzwords in management. In schools and colleges, as well, curriculums and courses are being moulded in ways that enhance a student's aptitude for leadership. The end goal of education is not to produce good employees anymore; it is to produce capable leaders who are able to display leadership qualities, regardless of what their jobs title or work profile is.
Khagendra Ojha, the chairman at Global College International, believes that leadership is not a skill but rather a part of a person's character—one that is nurtured from a very young age rather than acquired overnight. "When you are working with students at the high school or college level, you have to remain mindful that it is an age when the students are very malleable," says Ojha, "It is the peak time to train them on the important skills like leadership, which will come in use for the rest of their lives." Ojha believes that it is important that the Nepali education system adapts with shifting global paradigms with regards to education and incorporates leadership training in curriculums.
"One important way of instilling leadership—a method practiced all over the world—is transforming a classroom into an interactive space rather than just the students being lectured by the professors. For example, when students participate in group projects and assignments, they not only learn better but they also hone some important skills such as co-ordinating and communicating with their peers and working towards a common goal," he says, adding that because leadership is expected right from entry-level positions in the modern working environment, the better academic institutions are able to inculcate leadership in students, the better they will fare after graduation.
Ashish Tiwari, director and principal at ACE Institute of Management, believes that education goes much beyond just a classroom setting and that it is important for educators to impart on their students skills that do not necessarily come through a prescribed curriculum—leadership being one of them. "Today the world view is slowly shifting with regards to education. In this day and age, it is absolutely vital that students receive a holistic education—one that sharpens not just their intellectual abilities, but also their social, emotional and psychological traits," says Tiwari, "Education is not just about what is learned in class, it is measured by what skills the students are able to translate into their everyday lives." Tiwari, who is a firm believer in honing communication and relationship management skills in students from a young age, asserts that because the workplace today requires that you fit in as a team player, it is important that schools place special focus on communication and relationship skills in order to ensure that their students are primed to excel in the workforce. "We like to instil a value in our students that learning is a lifelong process that does not end with just graduation. One of the prime qualities of a leader is that they are continually growing and evolving. They accept that change is inevitable and are always improving their awareness of themselves and the environment around them. And that is what distinguishes the great leaders from the average ones, great leaders are not just doing the tasks that they are supposed to do, they are continually improving their skill sets on the job and are inspiring others to do so as well. It is a value we make a point to impart on our students," he says. Tiwari also believes that because leadership qualities are now expected from employees working even at entry-level positions, the onus falls on educators to ensure that the students are equipped with the right communication and managerial skills which help them become assets in whatever organisation they join upon graduation.
Ramesh Silwal, the CEO of Golden Gate International College, says that for too long the Nepali perception about leadership was limited to viewing it as a quality only politicians demonstrated. " Leadership, like it has been perceived, is not just about speaking at large rallies and amassing thousands of followers, it is about possessing skills such as planning; formulating visions, objectives and goals; and being able to effectively implement them through proper mobilisation of your team," says Silwal, "Leadership is essential in every sector be it politics, business, finance or education." Silwal, who was instrumental in introducing a nine-credit course at his college that focuses on life skills such as leadership, communication and management, believes that in this day and age it is important that education institutions are not just producing employees but industry leaders.

Delhites have reason to rejoice. You can now enjoy craft beers, right in your beloved city. Recently, the city government announced that under the Master Plan for 2021, restaurants, clubs and hotels can setup microbreweries in their campus.
Up until now, pubs, hotels, restaurants, and clubs in Delhi could not apply for a microbrewery license. Hence, they were not able to brew beer for commercial consumption. And, Delhiites had to travel to nearby cities in the extended NCR like Gurgaon to taste exotic lagers, IPAs, and other craft beer concoctions.
The Delhi governing authority made changes to the microbrewery permissions in September of last year. This was pending for approval by the centre, and now the central government has finally approved it, allowing microbreweries to be set up in the capital city for the first time.
Microbreweries in the city will be allowed to brew a maximum of 500 litres per day and must have set up professional wastewater treatment plants on site. Additionally, microbreweries must comply to no objection certificates and must hold other required licenses.
The DDA (Delhi Development Authority) had invited public opinions, suggestion and objections in last September for modifications and changes to the Master Plan for Delhi for 2021. One proposal was to allow setting up microbreweries within the city limit.
This proposal was received during the DDA meeting lead by LG Anil Baijal on 7th September 2018. Objections and other suggestions were subsequently discussed on the DDA meeting held on 28th November 2018.
Back in 2015, the Delhi government has cleared a proposal for setting up microbreweries in the city. But, the proposal could not proceed further, since brewing was included in the list of prohibited industries under the Delhi Master Plan.
Following the modifications to the master plan, the DDA has finally given the nod to microbreweries in the city.
Barring Delhi, several nearby states have a vibrant and thriving microbrewery culture. Haryana has recently seen plenty of microbreweries opening due to the increasing demand from customers for fresh, authentic craft beers.
Another neighboring state, Uttar Pradesh recently relaxed its limits on microbreweries. Delhi was losing out revenue from microbreweries, as customers moved to Noida, Gurgaon and other nearby cities for a taste of fresh beer.
What does the new proposal mean to Delhi?
The clearance will go a long way in promoting tourism and improving the nightlife of the city. Additionally, restaurant owners believe that this will give a boost to the real estate and will encourage experiential drinking among Delhi's pub goers.
It's expected that around 20 – 30 microbreweries will open in the city before the end of the year and industry experts predict that Delhi's craft brewing scene will increase by 25% every year.
Gurgaon has around 44 microbreweries. Delhi which is 5x bigger in size and has a significantly higher population presents an incredible opportunity for young entrepreneurs looking to enter the industry.
Are you looking to get a license for a microbrewery in Delhi? Just get in touch with our team, who handle the A-Z of setting up microbreweries in the capital city. Right from scouting the best locations, procuring the required licenses to sourcing the best beer brewing equipment – we help you each step of the process.
