Earlier this week we hiked at Berkeley's Tilden Park. From time to time our son-in-law would leave some of us behind and leap across boulders and waterfalls, and I admired his confidence and agility very much. Although I did not sketch it at the time, I wanted to capture the feelings of spring, leaping and youth.

The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. Anyone, anywhere can organize an Hour of Code event. One-hour tutorials are available in over 30 languages. No experience needed. Ages 4 to 104. As of this moment, 92,800,320 students have done the Hour of Code and written 4,587,866,151 lines of code.
Based on the current statistics, there's no doubt that the shortage of engineers is a problem not only in the U.S., but also in different parts of the globe, and especially for companies struggling to hire those versed in science and math. So it makes sense why people like President Barack Obama, celebrities Shakira, Ashton Kutcher, Angela Bassett, athletes like Chris Bosh, Warren Sapp and Dwight Howard, along with tech leaders like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple are getting behind to promote the Hour of Code: a way for students to get a taste of programming in just an hour-long lesson.
In the celebration of the 2014 Computer Science Education Week (December 8-14), though Hour of Code is clearly not a competition, we're proud to report that the Philippines is one of the top countries in the Hour of Code Global Leaderboards for having one of the highest participation rates in Hour of Code activities, with a total of 112 events as of today, January 11, 2015.
Some events were rescheduled due to impending Typhoon Hagupit, but that didn't stop the teams from accomplishing their goal of teaching K-12 students and others from non-tech colleges how to code.
Let's look back as we bring you some of the photographs taken from the recently concluded Hour of Code activities spearheaded by our Microsoft Student Partners.
December 8, 2014, The Grade 9 students of Central Luzon State University – University Science High School participated in the Hour of Code where they created their first app using TouchDevelop.
In the TouchDevelop programming environment you write scripts by tapping on the screen. You do not need a separate PC or keyboard. Scripts can perform various tasks similar to regular apps. Any TouchDevelop user can install, run, edit, publish scripts. You can also share scripts with other people by publishing them to the TouchDevelop script bazaar, or by submitting them as an app to the Windows Store or Windows Phone Store.
Also on the same day, more than 150 high school students of Lorma Colleges Special Science High School have participated in the Hour of Code in San Juan, La Union. The students had a great time in creating their first app also using TouchDevelop.
December 09, 2014, Grade 9 and Fourth Year High School Students of San Sebastian College-Recoletos Manila participated in the global annual Hour of Code with the Microsoft Student Partners of FEU Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the MSPs of SSC-R.
The participants experienced fixing a game called Jetpack Jumper on TouchDevelop and learned basic programming concepts from the activity. They have also tried other programming-related puzzles and games from code.org, including Lightbot, Tynker, and Code With Anna And Elsa. Top students in each section who finished it early will be given freebies from the MSPs.
December 10, 2014, the Hour of Code in the University of Northern Philippines was a success with the help of the UNP Microsoft Student Partners and 2nd year UNP-BS Information Technology students, where they have invited 335 participants. Each of them eventually got an instant certificate after they completed a particular course. They learned through video lectures on how to write first computer program, how to create Flappy Bird Game and learned how to code with Anna and Elsa.
"Ultimately, it was evidently fun because all we saw that day was our participants smiling as they write their code. It was worth the effort." said Dwight Steven Navarro, our Microsoft Student Partner from UNP.
December 12, 2014, Three sessions of Hour of Code happened yesterday where a group of Nutrition & Food Technology and Sophomore Engineering Students of TUP-Manila participated in Hour of Code where they tried Touch Develop. An HoC wall was also present in the venue to let the participants express their feedback about their experience through sticky notes and we're glad to hear that they all enjoyed it.
The Microsoft Philippines Academic Team is really thankful to the people who made these series of Hour of Code events a success: the Filipino Microsoft Student Partners as well as to the Filipino educators and tech enthusiasts. Congratulations for successfully hosting Hour of Code activities and for initiating the movement in schools across the country. You have just been an instrument in opening the minds of the Filipino youth to the boundless opportunities that they can unlock through learning programming.

Brick & Mortar Music Hall
Jackie Hayes keeps things moving forward. Written over the past year and a half, debut album, 'Over & Over' retains the rough around the edges, sparse production and guitar work of previous EPs ('There's Always Going to Be Something,' 'Take It, Leave It') while establishing a newfound focus. Produced by Billy Lemos (Omar Apollo, Binki, Dua Saleh, Lava La Rue) and mixed by Henry Stoehr of Slow Pulp, the record is a razor-sharp portal into Hayes' thought process, while she navigates the fast lane of facing up to every full-bodied experience.
Hayes' tracks are short and compact, brief gut punches steadied by inherent rhythm. Outwardly simple, the melody often seems to collapse inward, with repetition and intonation that sounds like one long vicious cycle. Intuitively fleshing out an instrumental with a melody in mind, she slowly builds song structures that bend until they break, only adding in lyrics later. Singles like "Bite Me" and "Wish It Was" sound like internalized monologues that blur the lines of pop and rock, where Hayes' vocals sit vulnerably bare. It often feels like she's putting on a brave face, and 'Over & Over' excels in the way that Hayes seems to say, in spite of everything, she's doing things exactly the way she wants.
Hayes admits to being dissatisfied with some of her previous work, often over-editing vocals to acute precision in a desire to achieve perfection. 'Over and Over' feels like the real introduction to her music, viscerally physical as she explores what it takes to make music that feels true to her entire being. After playing her first live shows in years in early 2022 (supporting Briston Maroney and Sunflower Bean), Hayes went back and re-recorded many of the songs on the project. The validation of seeing a tangible reaction to her music was a confidence boost: "I forgot that I can sing," she admits. However, while working on the batch of songs that make up the record, she was dropped by her then-label, and lost her voice from the exhaustion of touring. At the same time, she had to get stitches from a wine glass exploding in her hand at her day job. She drove herself home from the ER, then went back to work after two days, although she couldn't properly play guitar for a month. 'Over & Over' reflects the frustrations of this stop and start pace, and many of the songs feel like collective manifestations of Hayes reasoning with herself to keep going.
Hayes believed in herself more than anyone else from a young age, entering county fair talent show competitions where she would cover emo bands like Paramore or Pierce the Veil, while also playing piano in the church choir before she was ousted for her irreligious beliefs. Sneaking out to play DIY shows in and around her hometown of Waukegan, Illinois, her unsupportive parents threatened to kick her out before she moved to Chicago alone at age 19, where she worked various full-time jobs throughout the pandemic to make ends meet while making music. 'Over & Over' retains this spirit of stoic independence. Even now, Hayes maintains her extremely hands-on approach to her music, keeping a trusted inner circle that include long-term collaborator Lemos and Michael Penn II, who assisted in co-writing 2021's 'There's Always Going to Be Something' as well as six tracks on the new record.
Hayes' penchant for insularity is part of what makes 'Over & Over' such a rewarding listen. Many of the songs were made in a period of extreme isolation and heightened negativity, and read like a stream of consciousness journal entry that gradually reveals insights through Hayes' self-discovery in real time. The album is "more about a feeling than a specific experience," she explains, and it's difficult not to pick up the uncomfortable anxiety that runs rampant through the 10 tracks, most of which play in rapid motion. Hayes is transparent about her very personal fixations, wrangling with the vulnerability that comes with perception, from struggles with body dysmorphia to the pressures of being a musician in an industry fixated with youth and hype that's often fleeting at best ("Intro", "Focus").
"There's not a single love song" on 'Over & Over,' but the record showcases Hayes finding solace in her own spirit. "Me knowing I can stop doing this whenever and completely change course made it easier to keep going," Hayes explains. In the end, it's only her own voice that matters. "I told myself / I just have to see this through," she sings on the singular ballad "Hard to Believe," but sometimes just being present is enough. It's a choice she's determined to stand by.
Next Wave #1038: Jackie Hayes
[Clash] Chicago's Jackie Hayes is taking angsty anxiety and using her magical emporium of skill to make crunchy, addicting and warm tracks; taking the pain and squishing it in indie goodness. From sharing stages with Claud, Role Model and The Japanese House, Hayes fits into the class of musicians luring us with their resolving melodies, gentle head-boppers […]

I mean trying new things is great and all...but I don't want to look back and think "I could have had Eggs Benny"
Right?? If you can relate to our struggle then you are definitely going to enjoy this list. From one eggs benny lover to another... here are 5 eggs benny you should put at the top of your MUST EAT list.
Eggs Benny with wilted spinach, creamy hollandaise, and hot smoked salmon on a TOASTED FLAKY CROISSANT....is there any question why this is at the top of our list? So much YES! Well played Charming Squire, well played.
Eggs Benedict AND a potato hash. We never say no to free sides, especially when those sides can be used to mop up that delicious, creamy hollandaise sauce.
Popular Holland Park West cafe, Deedot Coffee House knows breakfast. Turkish bread toasted with baby spinach, poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, with bacon and garlic mushrooms!! Heaven on a wooden platter.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Player Overview
Smith-Schuster followed a nicked-up career at USC with a nicked-up debut for the Steelers. Most worrisome might have been a pair of concussions, the 1st coming in the preseason opener and the 2nd in Week 7. Smith-Schuster sat out a preseason contest in August but returned without missing a game after the October concussion. He added a hamstring injury in mid-November that cost him Week 12. All told, Smith-Schuster carries some injury risk into his 2nd season. But he also comes off leading the league in yards per target as a rookie.
Chance of Injury per Game: 4%

Controversial Developer Finishes Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity House
by Richard Rabinowitz May 9, 2014
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A newly-constructed fraternity house is opening in the Hub City for the first time in a long time.
The latest building built by controversial developer Construction Management Associates will become the home of Zeta Beta Tau, the world's oldest and first Jewish fraternity.
Mayor James Cahill was in attendance at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held last month, as was Rutgers Greek affairs dean Joanne Arnholt.
Construction Management Associates co-founders Les Salamon and Mitch Broder also showed up for the ceremony. Their firm developed the property and more than a dozen others in the neighborhood over the past decade.
ZBT executive director Laurence Boletin said, "Zeta Beta Tau is thrilled to take this important step at Rutgers University by moving into this beautiful new home. Being the world's first Jewish fraternity, with a 116 year history, we look forward to our rich tradition being an asset to the community."
The three-floor, 18-bedroom Greek house replaces two earlier structures that stood on the site at the intersection of Sicard and Morrell Streets. One of those structures was described at the February 25, 2013 Zoning Board meeting as "an outdated single-family home."
At the meeting, Planner Keenan Huges said, "Greek life is reviving but many are using informal houses for frats. The University has no plans to develop frats themselves," according to the meeting minutes.
According to MyCentralJersey.com's Keith Sargent, 10 years ago, there were 23 buildings zoned for use by roughly 35 fraternities and sororities on the Rutgers campus.
A handful of those fraternities were replaced with residential apartments developed by Construction Management and their affiliates.
Broder said that today only 17 homes are zoned for fraternity and sorority use, while the number of organizations has increased to 80.
Broder's company has begun development on a dozen multi-unit buildings, all of them in New Brunswick, in just six years. They have also been generous contributors to the Mayor's political campaigns, as we have reported previously.
The house fronts on Sicard Street, facing the rear of the Rutgers Student Center, and has a driveway accessible from Morrell St. in the rear, along with bicycle parking.
On the inside, the house has three floors and a basement. Two of the floors are bedroom floors, with eight or bedrooms and a single bathroom on each floor.
The other two are public floors, although the first floor has a single wheelchair-accessible bedroom. A common area and a kitchen are on the first floor; an additional recreational area is in the basement, along with utilities.
Zeta Beta Tau has held a variety of addresses over the years, including 176 Easton Avenue, 94 Easton Avenue, 26 Union Street, and 10 Union Street.
The Beta Delta Chapter, which is the Rutgers chapter of Zeta Beta Tau, dates back to 1948. The chapter was defunct during the mid-90's but later revived.
The old ZBT house at 26 Union Street burned down in 1993, shortly after the chapter had lost its formal status. The frat had already sold the property to the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. Today, that sorority has a house of early 21st century vintage.
Richard Rabinowitz
Richard researched transportation, land use, history, and other topics. Investigated site plans. Attended public meetings (planning board, zoning board, parking authority board of directors, City Council) to record and help determine what was discussed. Analyzed blueprints and site plans to determine what land uses sites would be put to. Photographed sites that would be affected by proposed projects, as well as sites involved in news events. Employed Sketchup CAD to visualize new land uses, such as buildings and structures. Critiqued and wrote articles in fast-paced work environment, writing before deadlines. Made judgments as to what constituted proper material to include in articles. Created a zoning map; am working on ways to show it to the public. Consulted vintage maps to determine historic land uses.

Louis-Michel really nailed Les Suchots in 2014 – it's vibrant, juicy and quite expressive. In the bouquet a delicate collection of red and darker berries – quite floral (15% whole cluster). On the palate fine focus and definition, a deep juicy fruit and a fine balance from the energetic acidity. The whole clusters really bring forward the best in this wine – a magnificent Suchots one of the best I have tasted from this estate.

Elite athletes are known for their exceptional physiology. Arguably, their superior strength, power, endurance and biomechanics all play a key role in enabling their success. However, these physiological factors tend to be relatively similar across elite performers, meaning that physiology is not the only piece of the puzzle of creating champions.
Translating such physical determinants into optimal performance outcomes requires something arguably more subjective. Indeed, when understanding the making of champions, we also may consider psychological determinants of performance. Specifically, personality traits have received a lot of attention in sport as they are known for their ability to predict behavioural outcomes, and thus can inform how individuals act, and perform within a sporting context.
"striving for flawlessness and setting of excessively high standards for performance alongside over-critical evaluation of behaviour".
So, does perfectionism help, or hinder performance?
Its role is contentious due to its multidimensional nature. This means it is conceptualized as having some components which are adaptive, and beneficial to sporting performance and others which are maladaptive and detrimental to sporting performance.
These two different components have been named by researchers as perfectionist strivings and perfectionist concerns. Perfectionist strivings involve individuals setting high standards for themselves and 'striving' to attain these standards, accompanied by high self-esteem and life satisfaction. Arguably, these are necessary to perform at high levels.
Athlete A demonstrates perfectionist strivings by suggesting "I have set a standard for myself in running under 20 minutes for a 5k, and I will do everything I can to achieve it".
Athlete B, demonstrates perfectionist concerns by saying "If I don't achieve a time of below 20 minutes in the 5km I will have failed and everyone will judge me".
The relative presence of components of perfectionist strivings and perfectionist concerns have been used to classify individuals as 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' perfectionists. Healthy perfectionists are suggested to typically demonstrate characteristics of perfectionist strivings and unhealthy perfectionists demonstrate characteristics of perfectionist concerns. Healthy perfectionism is associated with high confidence, positive mood, and superior performance. Alternatively, unhealthy perfectionism has been associated with consequences deleterious to performance, namely; burnout, increased anxiety and poorer mental health.
Recent research suggests that we cannot assign athletes into single categories as either a healthy, or unhealthy perfectionist. The presence of perfectionist strivings typically correlates with perfectionist concerns and components of perfectionist strivings have been shown to interact with perfectionist concerns, making concerns more maladaptive in the presence of perfectionist strivings. So, Athlete A, will commonly demonstrate elements of Athlete B's dispositions.
This results in what is known as the 'paradox of perfectionism'. If perfectionist strivings improve performance, surely, they should be distinct from factors which do the opposite? It appears that we cannot purely be a healthy perfectionist without the maladaptive components of perfectionism coming into play. As an athlete who wants to perform at the highest level, or for coaches supporting these athletes we need to develop strategies to promote facets of perfectionist strivings, and identify, and minimize the maladaptive outcomes to performance and mental health of perfectionist concerns.
The following section will identify evidence-based practices to minimize the negative implications of unhealthy perfectionism that may arise in athletes attempting to achieve high levels of performance.
3) reduced value of participation in sport.
The incidence of burnout in perfectionists has been found to be mediated by the type of motivation athletes have. 'Healthy' perfectionists were found to have more intrinsic motivation. This means they partook in their sport for the pure enjoyment or love of it. Those who were unhealthy perfectionists were motivated in their sport to avoid negative outcomes, or for external rewards such as praise from others.
This suggests that promoting intrinsic motivation may be a means to reduce burnout in perfectionist athletes. According to self-determination theory, a 'needs supportive' environment can facilitate intrinsic motivation. This can be done through the satisfaction of three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Indeed, athlete's perception of the satisfaction of these basic needs within sporting environments has been associated with a reduced risk of athlete burnout.
Autonomy – give athletes choice in the selection of their training and competition.
Mental wellness is an antecedent to success in athletes. Therefore, it is imperative to identify strategies to promote this in athletes. Research has suggested that self-esteem plays a mediatory role in the relationship between perfectionism and mental health – with lower levels of self-esteem predicting poor mental health in perfectionists.
Researchers have done some digging into the components of self-esteem which predict negative outcomes in perfectionists. Baseline self-esteem is a component of self-esteem, relating to an individual's perception of self-worth and is relatively static. A study of Swedish Olympic athletes found that those with higher baseline self-esteem typically showed attributes of perfectionist strivings, namely high personal standards. This was accompanied by low perfectionist concerns. Those with low baseline self-esteem scored highly on perfectionist striving, but also high on perfectionist concerns. This undermines performance as it increases competition related anxiety, resulting in excessive worry and fear of failure.
So – should we just focus our efforts on increasing baseline self-esteem? This may be challenging because research has suggested that it is something relatively static, informed by genetics, upbringing, and prior experiences.
The self-confidence someone has for their performance is a function of their baseline self-esteem multiplied by evidence they have accumulated from performance and training. Those with low baseline self-esteem, typically have to 'earn' self-confidence for performance and based on this equation, we can do this by increasing the amount of evidence they have for their ability.
This evidence can be accumulated through creating what is known as a 'preparation environment'. This involves the athlete deciding on their attitudes, standards and values which they will endeavour to uphold in training which will be conducive to the highest quality of training. In line with this, coaches should insist that the standards set should be upheld and not compromised. Within this environment, athletes should be encouraged to learn from own actions, continually set themselves shifting targets and kept accountable for upholding the self-selected standards. Creating such an environment may account for the negative outcomes of low baseline self-esteem in perfectionists through increasing self-confidence via accumulating evidence of ability.
Perfectionists typically set high standards for themselves. But, how perfectionists think about their goals can result in differing effects on performance outcomes. Perfectionist strivings have been associated with mastery goals. Individuals with mastery goals view competition or training as an opportunity to improve ability and skills, and failure to meet these goals as learning opportunities. Performance approach goals have also been associated with perfectionist strivings. These are goals orientated around proving one's ability, and attempting to demonstrate that it is superior to others. Perfectionist concerns have been associated with performance approach goals, as well as performance avoidance goals. Here, individuals view training or competitions in terms of avoidance, they fear performing below their ability, or worse relative to others. Both types of performance orientated goals typically result in lower levels of performance because instead of "improving their ability, the focus is very much on proving ones ability" (Stoeber et al., 2008).
Task – encouraging athletes to focus their practices on personal tasks, achieved through setting individualized goals with reduced opportunity for peer comparison.
Authority: allowing athletes to elicit authority in training and evaluative measures of their performance.
Reward success based on individual effort and not performance relative to others.
Grouping, involving collaborating with team mates and peers in a non-comparative manner which benefits all athletes.
Evaluation based on improvements on a personal level. This should focus, on the quality of mastery of a particular task as opposed to performance relative to others.
Timing of feedback and evaluation should be implemented in adequate time, flexibility is encouraged by the athlete and the coach.
It has been shown that adopting each of these principles can form a mastery-orientated environment, which is conducive to creating mastery-approach goals. Research has shown elite athletes have described as it being a predictor of their enjoyment of sport, and also improved performance. Additionally, it can reduce the likelihood of some of the consequences of maladaptive perfectionism; specifically, burnout.
The risk of negative outcomes of perfectionism is enhanced in those who experience failure. This may be unavoidable in elite sport where high standards are constantly set, and the margins for error are small.
However, "proactive" coping strategies can act as a protective mechanism, buffering to the negative outcomes of failure in perfectionists. One of these is called "positive reframing". A study measured level of satisfaction following stressful events in athletes demonstrating high perfectionist concerns. The use of positive reframing was particularly effective for those high in perfectionist concerns, and increased their life satisfaction to a similar level to those low in perfectionist concerns.
So, how can athletes implement positive reframing into their sport? This can be done through writing down the negative thoughts and failures as a means to initiate conscious reframing of them. From this, we can try to draw positive aspects from these outcomes, and focus rather on what has been achieved, as opposed to what hasn't.
Failure: I didn't win a race I was expected to.
Positive reframing: I didn't win the race, but I executed my race plan as I hoped to and I put my best effort into the performance.
Broadly, this technique essentially encourages the athlete to accept imperfection. Striving for perfection is not maladaptive, but insisting that one has to be perfect is, especially when self-worth is contingent on attaining exceptionally high standards. It is challenging to learn to accept imperfection in performance settings which are inherently evaluative, but this technique can help address that.
Reducing the risk of athlete burnout through fostering a needs-supportive environment conducive to high levels of intrinsic motivation.

Q: understanding class and instance methods variables In my code, i have a class , mainClass , which has an instance method -(void)record .
In the interface of  mainClass , i have instance variable,which used by this method.
Now, i know that every time i am creating a new instance of the class with :
mainClass *instance=[mainClass alloc];

its creating a new place in memory to all this class variables , and now if i do
[instance record];

it will create all the variables that are in record but they will be new once.
Now lets say i want to call from an outside class to record , and change/use its variables
not create new once, but use the once already created in the mainClass.
whats the best way of doing this, and what it has to do with a class method ?
Should this method be a class method? if yes , why ?

A: If you want it accessible, instance and permanent changed you have to make it static, will answer your next question

Mookie Betts has wasted little time establishing himself as one of baseball's best all-around players in his short (so far) career with the Boston Red Sox. But in his spare time, he's already working on his next career. As a professional bowler.
Great form. Great bowling shirt.
Mookie Betts looked pretty cool finishing off the perfecto, estimating in an interview after that it was probably about the 10th one of his life. And the bounceback game after a disappointing 169 helped Betts finish with a 205.6 average, up from the 190 he posted in his World Series of Bowling debut in 2015, according to ESPN.
Betts plans to play in the Professional Bowlers Association's Chris Paul Celebrity Invitational in February. Betts teamed up with PBA star Tommy Jones to finish second in last year's event. But shortly after that tournament, the two-time Gold Glove winner will have to head to spring training. Too bad. As a Yankees fan, I'd really, really like to see what this guy could accomplish if he concentrated on making it on the bowling tour.

Joe Biden could announce his candidacy for a second term in early February
US President Joe Biden will announce his 2024 presidential bid in the coming weeks, broadcasters say. CNN And CBS NewsBased on multiple sources in the US administration.
One of them indicated that the announcement of the president's candidacy for a second term would come "shortly" after his planned State of the Union address on February 7. An exact date for the communication has not yet been decided, but it should be sometime between late February and early March, the person told CBS News, speaking on condition of anonymity. "That's always been our plan."

The president's team sees this traditional annual address to Congress as an opportunity to really launch Joe Biden's re-election campaign, allowing him to outline his political intentions.
Case of classified documents
Another official tells CNN that despite the discovery of classified documents dating back to Joe Biden's vice presidency in various locations, including the garage of his home in Delaware, "the plans have not changed." The case, while leaving the White House, has unleashed emotions among his political opponents who want to make it the equivalent of classified documents that Donald Trump took to his property in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

The news channel says the president's entourage believes the focus on the documents can only be a "passing obsession" that will "dissipate over time." On Thursday, Joe Biden played down the outcry surrounding the discovery of the documents during a trip to California: "I think you'll find it's wind". "I have no regrets."
To forget these criticisms and those related to his age, he will be 82 years old in 2024 elections and 86 years old at the end of his second term. -Term elections and the results of his first two-year presidency were viewed positively by many observers.
To date, Donald Trump is the only declared candidate for the 2024 election.

Russian attacks on energy grid is genocide, says Ukraine
Russia's attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure amount to genocide, a top Ukrainian official says.
Strikes on key facilities targeted "the full Ukrainian nation" and were an effort to force Kyiv to surrender, the prosecutor-general told the BBC.
The term genocide refers to an effort to wipe out a group of people. Russia denies having any such aim.

Millions of people across Ukraine are facing power cuts in freezing weather, following sustained Russian attacks.
Efforts are ongoing to reconnect homes cut off from electricity. Officials say Kherson has now been fully resupplied, following the city's recapture by Ukrainian troops earlier this month.
But people in 14 regions and the capital Kyiv remain under usage restrictions, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Genocide involves "the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group", according to a definition provided by the UN Genocide Convention.
Among the acts which may qualify are killing or causing serious harm to members of that group – or forcibly transferring its children elsewhere.
In his BBC interview, Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Andriy Kostin said that, as well as the attacks on the energy grid, 11,000 Ukrainian children had been forcibly deported to Russia.
Mr Kostin said his office was investigating reports of more than 49,000 war crimes and crimes of aggression since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on 24 February.
The "same pattern of conduct" was being seen in every Ukrainian settlement occupied by Russian forces, he observed.
A war crime constitutes a violation of the so-called "rules" of war set out by international treaties including the Geneva Conventions.
Among other things, the Conventions stipulate that civilians must be protected. Russia has been repeatedly accused of breaking this rule.
Shelling of residential buildings in Dnipro over the weekend left one person dead and 13 others injured, according to the governor of the wider region.
Meanwhile, police said 32 civilians had been killed by strikes in Kherson since Russian troops left the southern city earlier this month.
On Saturday, Ukraine marked the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor – a man-made famine that killed millions of people during Soviet rule.
Of the war crimes seen since Russia invaded in February, Mr Kostin said 260 people had been indicted and 13 verdicts had been issued by Ukrainian courts.
He called for the creation of an "international ad-hoc tribunal", supported by countries of "the whole civilised world" who opposed the invasion to hold Russia to account. BBC

Holistic health medicine is no new invention. The holistic approach to health contains within it all the natural ways of helping through lifestyle choices, diet, and different nature-based methods. Based on early medical and religious texts, these remedies can be used to maintain the wellbeing of the whole family. Here are 5 avenues of natural holistic health that are appropriate for all ages.
The father of medicine, Hippocrates, claimed that your food should be your medicine. Just like herbs, vegetables and fruits will nourish your body and help you overcome health concerns. Science has recently started backing up these claims, as we are now being encouraged to eat more whole foods and incorporate more fruits and vegetables into our diet as we avoid processed foods. In addition to the food you eat, you should also focus on hydrating your body and cells. Drinking purified, enhanced water can work to rejuvenate the body and restore cells.
Essential oils are the condensed extracts of different herbs and plants. Being the most potent form of the plant, just a few drops contains the benefits of the whole plant. Essential oils can be used for a variety of purposes, including promoting healthier skin, easing anxious feelings, and assisting with general relaxation.
The sun is the provider of warmth, light, and life to all living creatures on the planet. It is also miraculously therapeutic for the human organism. The sun switches off melatonin gradually in the morning and makes your body produce serotonin — the happiness hormone. Vitamin D that is important to bone health is also released by the sun's stimulation. Keep your curtains open during the day, and go out whenever you can.
Proper sleep is very important for your health. At night, the body recovers from the long day before and repairs any small damages. A good night's sleep does miracles for your weight, mood, and performance throughout the day. A clear head and a better memory are also bonuses of a good sleep routine. Hormones that are responsible for growth and appetite are also released during sleep.
Exercise helps control weight and build muscles. It has other health benefits like mental health, increased lifespan, stronger bones, and improved mood. To gain benefit from exercising, an average adult requires 2 and a half hours of moderate aerobic exercise each week and muscle-strengthening activities twice weekly. Children and adolescents should exercise for at least an hour every day.
Keeping all these simple but important holistic health approaches to a good life, you can carve out your routine to make use of all of these natural remedies into your everyday life.

Cash savers miss out on £31bn; earn lowest interest income in 20 years
Written by Adam Cadle
Savers missed out on £31.2bn of potential extra income, despite cash deposits swelling to a new record by the end of 2017, according to latest research.
Research from stepstoinvesting.com said the interest earned on cash deposits by UK savers fell to its lowest level in at least 20 years. UK houseoholds had £1.32trn saved in cash, spread across ISAs, savings accounts and current accounts. Despite these record high balances, savers earned a record low £4.6bn in interest, down almost a quarter from the £6bn earned in 2016.
By contrast, in 2007, the last full year before the financial crisis, savers scooped £33.1bn in interest - over seven times higher than that earned in 2017
The research showed that total cash holdings should equal approximately £340bn of the £1.32trn that is currently held in cash. Furthermore, it found that there is a surplus £963bn sitting unproductively in cash accounts. If the surplus cash had been invested in UK equities last year, savers would have earned £34.8bn in dividend income, instead of £3.4bn in interest.
"The amount of potential income that savers are missing out on is staggering and that's before we even consider the impact of inflation," stepstoinvesting.com head Simon Longfellow commented.
"This is happening because most savers are unaware of the potential benefits of investing or do not feel confident enough to put their money into these higher yielding alternatives. As a result, cash balances have continued to grow bigger and bigger as a proportion of national household income. Although we saw interest rates rise, savers shouldn't be fooled into thinking they'll see a much of a difference to their savings. For example, on a balance of £1,000, the 0.25% rise equates to earning just an extra 21p a month. And even one month on, many banks are still failing to pass the new rate on.
"As such, savers need to be aware of other options to make the most of their money. An alternative to holding money in cash savings is to invest it, but naturally people are fearful of what they do not understand. The whole investment industry speaks a language that beginners just do not understand and, to them, the risk of investing can often just seem like a bet on black or red. This is why the obvious remedy is education."

1990 óta hét alkalommal rendeztek önkormányzati választást Balassagyarmaton. A választások során eddig négy polgármester nyerte el a választók többségének bizalmát.

1990
Az 1990. évi önkormányzati választás első fordulóját szeptember 30-án tartották, azonban az alacsony részvétel miatt Balassagyarmaton és hat további Nógrád megyei településen érvénytelen lett a szavazás. Az érvénytelenség miatt a választás az október 14-én megrendezett második fordulóban dől el. Ebben a fordulóban a 13 855 választásra jogosult 32,33%-a, azaz 4478-an adták le szavazatukat.

Balassagyarmat első szabadon választott képviselő-testületének alakuló ülésére október 24-én került sor, és ekkor választották meg Dr. Németh Györgyöt a város polgármesterének.

Iskustvo može označavati
određen doživljaj ili percepcija koja ima utjecaj na odnos čovjeka prema vanjskom svijetu,
 stečena znanja, sposobnosti i vještine tehničke ili metodološke prirode.

Iskustvo (od "probati", "pokušati") rabi se u nekoliko značenja:
 stečene vještine dobivena tijekom dugogodišnje prakse kao primjerice "iskusni liječnik" ili "životno iskustvo";
iskustvo za opstanak (npr. preživljavanje)
unutarnje iskustvo, religiozno iskustvo

Iskustvo je u strogom smislu neprenosivo i teško objašnjivo. Stjecavanje vlastitog osobnog iskustva može biti skupo i/ili opasno.

Infrastructure crash: Routing I-70 through Glenwood Canyon destroyed the canyon, cost billions and kills people
Posted on August 8, 2021 by onthebeatontrack
Glenwood Canyon in Western Colorado was the last obstacle in I-70 across America. They just needed one last 14 mile stretch along the Colorado River to connect with Glenwood Springs. From there the highway was already in place down-river and onto the deserts of Utah.
They blew it.
They chose to follow the old wagon road alongside the Colorado River through the magnificent canyon lined with steep 2,000-foot cliffs of sandstone, shale, limestone and granite. The river snakes between the cliffs, varying unpredictably between a trickle and a torrent depending on recent thunderstorms and last winter's snowpack a hundred miles away.
It took 12 years and half a billion 1980's dollars to build the 14 miles of highway. The Colorado Department of Transportation boasts on its website (try to ignore their typos) that the construction employed as many as 500 workers at a time, entails 40 viaducts and bridges and uses 30 million pounds of steel and 1.6 billion pounds of concrete. They crow that they even imported things from France.
Wow, France!
Much of the 4-lane is elevated over impassible terrain and occasionally cantilevered out over the river. Naturally, they included a bicycle path for long-haul truckers to take a break with their bikes.
The Transportation Department brags that this is an "engineering marvel." As an undergraduate Civil Engineering major, I don't disagree. The engineering that went into the highway was state-of-the art notwithstanding the Francophilia. They go on to inform us that the highway is "much more than a transportation facility."
I agree with that too. This is no mere highway. It's a costly, unwise, unsafe boondoggle.
Much of the roadway is atop near-continuous bridges shaded by the steep cliffs that freeze up long before ground-based roadway freezes. The problem is compounded by the moisture of the river which is always alongside or even right under the road. As drivers fight to hang onto the slippery road, the freezing highway twists and winds.
The most unsafe thing is that stuff is always falling onto the road from those cliffs. Stuff perched on cliffs does that. A bowling ball-size rock freefalling a few hundred feet has the kinetic energy of a cannonball. It knocks a car off the road, or goes right through it at dismembering, bisecting, decapitating velocities. Boulders are even worse.
Mud slides are more frequent than boulders. They often close the road for hours or days while heavy equipment cleans up debris that can be a dozen feet thick.
That's the current situation. Mudslides caused by recent heavy rains have blocked hundreds of yards of roadway at multiple points. The highway has been closed yet again, for two weeks and counting, and they say it'll stay that way "indefinitely." Fortunately, no one was killed this time, but traffic is being re-routed far to the north for a 4-hour delay.
Weather extremes are not exactly unusual in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This has happened before and it will happen again. More people will be killed. Running a 4-lane interstate highway through a rugged and spectacular mountain canyon was a bad choice. Mother Nature has a way of exacting her revenge.
Especially when they had another choice. Instead of tackling the canyon, they could have gone up and over. South of the canyon is Cottonwood Pass, a relatively low elevation pass connecting I-70 with Highway 82 a few miles from Glenwood Springs. (This is not to be confused with a different and much higher pass also called Cottonwood, near Buena Vista.) The terrain is not exactly like western Kansas, but it's far more moderate than Glenwood Canyon.
They did something similar to the east as I-70 enters the mountains from Denver. The old wagon road went up Clear Creek Canyon. They wisely decided not to engineer an expensive and unsafe 4-lane (which is now a 6-lane) highway up the same route, but to instead go up and over the nearby hills.
Given that Glenwood Canyon is far more rugged than Clear Creek Canyon, it's puzzling that they didn't make the same up-and-over choice there. I suspect they wanted an engineering challenge. Maybe there was some public works cronyism or corruption.
They did get their engineering challenge. The rest of us got a big bill, a destroyed canyon, unreliable travel and life-threatening drives.
Perhaps there's a lesson for today's infrastructure legislation. Sometimes the most expensive alternative is also the most destructive and unsafe one. Sometimes common sense is better than marvelous engineering.

Polis appointed 35-year-old Shoshana Lew as his new CDOT Executive Director, a history major with no background in engineering nor construction management..

Reminds me of a report of the former USSR, wherein whenever a top general or politico went to Siberia to visit a military base or city, the local commissar would spend millions to import and plant trees from the south of the country, a few days in advance along the boulevards they knew the motorcade would travel , even if it was the middle of winter.

They should have spent our money on a 14 mile tunnel.
Bitter Klinger on August 8, 2021 at 1:43 pm said:
Probably. Those tunnels into, out of, and under Manhattan — built over a century ago (with private capital in many cases) — have held up pretty well. The main problem now is that the subway trains hurtling through them are filled with vagrants, perverts and psychopaths with machetes. Our social engineering has a far worse record than our civil engineering.

I always love the beautiful drive through but totally agree with Glenn. BTW there is only 100 billion for roads and bridges in the "infrastructure" bill out of trillion so I don't think there will be a permanent solution to I70 issue.

Definition of "Infrastructure" as found in the Newspeak Dictionary: Anything a republicrat politician wants in order to screw the taxpayers and funnel pork into his/her/its district/state/Commonwealth, as long as there's plenty of funding to grease every palm along the way–especially MINE!
William Lawrence on August 8, 2021 at 2:10 pm said:
Nice try to deflect blame from the corrupt Democrat machine. After the "bipartisan" trillion dollar bill is passed the Dems are threatening to add another 5 trillion through reconciliation. None of which would meet the traditional definitions of infrastructure. Try to keep up, although I know it's tough with your head buried in your rectum…
Steve (retired/recovering lawyer) on August 8, 2021 at 3:33 pm said:
You must be new here. Most of Glenn's commenters are civilized, even if they don't agree. While you were busy sharpening your rapier like wit, perhaps you missed the seventeen republicans who voted to open debate on the bill back in July, or the eighteen who voted to advance the legislation yesterday. Do try to keep up.

I don't know why the exceptionally bad decision was made to route I-70 through Glenwood Canyon. But when the author says, "Maybe there was some public works cronyism or corruption," that sounds plausible.
Consider I-69, a fabulously expensive rat's-nest of highway connecting Evansville and Indianapolis. It was completely unnecessary and met considerable grass-roots opposition, but it was rammed though solely for the secondary effect of gaining kickbacks, graft, and campaign contributions. That's how our rulers farm public construction or infrastructure budget.

I fell in love with Glenwood Springs -and Canyon- years-ago on my first visit to the area.
Oddly enough, I also noted the funky, almost-misplaced and dangerous aspect of that section of I-70.
By-the-way: I have not been back to Glenwood in a couple of years. Have the rich and not-famous ruined the 'Spings too? Hopefully, stopped at Carbondale.

😁 Every time I see Biden on TV I think of Shelley's opening line in "England in 1819" — "An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King . . . ." But even George III wouldn't have opened his colonies' borders to the French, or put a General Milley in charge of his armed forces.

Sometimes projects are works of art and engineering, not just practicality. How many billions were spent to go to the moon and to send a mission to mars? There are dozens of bridges in cities across the USA that are more works of art than practical expense would dictate. How much do we spend to subsidize public radio and art galleries? Why the statue of liberty, the Smithsonian, Mount Rushmore, why National Parks and National monuments? Why the landscaping along interstate highways through major American cities? As to deaths, I'm guessing that there are many stretches of interstate highway that have a much higher death toll than Glenwood Canyon? The interstate through Glenwood Canyon has been a source of enjoyment for millions having had the pleasure.

And then there's Penn Station, Robert, perhaps the grandest civic monument to Western Civilization ever erected, and which was demolished just 53 years after its completion — a testament to the principle that form should follow function, especially when it's too freaking expensive.
And then there's the old saying, "Man proposes, God disposes." The natural forces at work in Glenwood Canyon aren't done yet. Personally, every time I drive through there, I'm worrying about a rock up above that has my name on it.
onthebeatontrack on August 9, 2021 at 8:12 am said:
Robert, the Glenwood Canyon highway was never intended to be a work of art. Personally, I don't think the highway improves upon the art that God put there millions of years ago. As for making God's art available for human viewing, we have legs for that and don't need a 4-lane highway.
That's not to say that there's never anything artistic about engineering works. Sometimes there is, such as the Golden Gate Bridge or, going a little further back, the Pyramids at Giza. But those structures are artistic partly because they perform their function so well — the Pyramids have stood for 3,000 years and the Bridge has successful carried millions of people across the bay.
In contrast, the Glenwood Canyon is a bust. It's often closed, it frequently kills people, it cost an exorbitant amount of money, and it destroyed the natural beauty of the setting. Cottonwood Canyon would have been a far better place for the highway.
Robert Cross on August 10, 2021 at 8:52 am said:
As one who traveled through the Canyon in the 40s and 50s, you could not enjoy the beauty because the road was so narrow and oncoming two way traffic was always upon you. I-70 in my opinion enhanced our safety and our ability to enjoy the beauty.
Jack on August 8, 2021 at 4:38 pm said:
When I was a youngster, I remember hearing the grownups talk about the construction of I70. As I recollect, there were 3 routes. The one across the southern part of the state was abandoned rather quickly. The second route was to follow highway 6 end to end through the entire state of Colorado. The third route was to follow highway 6 from Denver to Silverthorne and then use highway 9 to Kremmling and then use highway 40 to Utah. That way the construction would miss the difficult parts of Vail pass and Glenwood Canyon. The "Vail founders", Gramshammer, Slifer, Gorsuch, and the Vail ski resort founders, lobbied Washington DC to choose the highway 6 route end to end through Colorado so that more people could come to Vail easier and so as a result these people would make more money. They lobbied Gerald Ford specifically. The Eisenhauer tunnel was not completed at that time, but was a definite plan. The Johnson tunnel was not complete until 1980.
Sierra Club was also in on the mess.. Could have used the north rim above the Glenwood Canyon, like in Arizona on their north rim near their Grand Canyon.
For another perspective read about the safety of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon written a few years ago at…..https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/publicroads/04mar/04.cfm
