Coffee Table, Acacia & Brass
The Hove is a retro sleekster.
You want your coffee table to be a centrepiece without taking over your whole living room. By combining rich rosewood with fine brass lines, this design does just that.
Designs are made with natural materials and are handcrafted one at a time. There may be natural variations in colour and texture that are not product flaws, they make your design truly one-of-a-kind.
An original piece for the contemporary home, progressive and beautifully designed. In the Swoon Studio, we create with urban landscapes as our point of inspiration. Cracks running through concrete on city streets, the architecture of an old railway station, the birds-eye view of paths in a green space. We see the extraordinary within the ordinary. We use it to fuel a new wave of design.

The French government has extended the Maritime Guiana permit. Legal arm-wrestling match This may be part of the solution regarding the situation of oil groups with exclusive oil and gas research licences (PERH), Shelf and Udo. On 30 April the administrative Court of Cayenne voted in their favour, with judges obliging the government to grant the PERH Total O n 6 September, Nicolas Hulot presented a draft law before the Council of Ministers aimed to ban any new hydrocarbon exploration in France. This was an item in candidate Macron's campaign. In regards to oil and gas, the draft law of the Minister for Ecological and Solidary Transition involves stopping new research licenses, including for pending applications, as of its enforcement. However, the text allows for current concessions to be extended, subject to their term not running beyond 2040. The French Guiana Territorial Collectivity extended Total's offshore research licence in Maritime Guiana in March. to Shelf within two months and to reconsider the situation for Udo. The French Guiana Territorial Collectivity (CTG), engaged in a legal arm-wrestling match with the Government for fifteen years, has remained silent so far. The CTG is still waiting for the publication of the decree implementing article L.611-31 of the new mining code, granting it power in terms of maritime mining licenses, despite two judgements in its favour from the State Council on 17 October 2014 and 27 July 2016. On 15 March, the collectivity unanimously voted for the three-year extension for Total's exclusive offshore research licence in Maritime Guiana. A vote that was deemed a 'response to the government's institutional blockage', according to Rodolphe Alexandre, president of the CTG. French Maritime Guiana permit finally extended Initially allocated in 2001 to Planet Oil Limit, Maritime Guiana that covers 24,100 km2, has already been extended in 2007 and 2012. Total now owns this licence and has issued a third application under exceptional circumstances. Finally, on 14 September, the Official Journal announced that by an order from the State Minister, the Minister for Ecological and Solidary Transition and the Minister for the Economy and Finance, 'the exclusive license for liquid oil and gas exploration, called Maritime Guiana permit (...), has been extended under article L. 142-2 of the French Mining Code until 1 June 2019 over an unchanged surface area and transfer authorised for the benefit of Total E&P Guyane française SAS, without such authorisation implying any approval of the financial terms of this operation'. Éric STIMPFLING Discovery of non-conventional oil *In September 2011, the consortium comprising Tullow Oil (27.5% of shares), Shell (45%), Total (25%) and Northpet (2.5%) announced that they had discovered non-conventional oil. This potentially large field is buried at 150 km north east of Cayenne under more than 2,000 metres of water and 5,711 metres of rock under the sea floor. The well was named Zaedyus. From December 2012, Shell undertook four other exploration drilling operations on the Maritime Guiana permit with the Stena Ice Max. All have proved negative.

GPMG has nevertheless reserved an area ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 m² if the exploration phase is resumed. The fishing sector remains hostile to all development of the oil industry. The regional fishing committee is particularly opposed to the request of PERH Shelf, submitted by Total, as it is located on the coastline where most of the vessels operate.

Baby Jaxton: Pregnancy-Week 19
We're at week 19!!!! Yay!!! This is such a big week! Why is this a big week? Because it's the week before 20 weeks and 20 weeks means we're half way there!!! Eeeekkkk!!!
In last weeks pregnancy update I talked about my favorite pregnancy app, Ovia! Ovia gives cute little comparison pics and sweet little updates to let you know how mom and baby are doing!
For week 19 I chose the fruits and veggies theme for Jaxton's body size comparison, and that showed he is the size of a zucchini!
Here is the size of his hand! This is still and will always be my favorite thing to watch grow! His hands are so incredibly tiny right now, but they grow so incredibly fast!
This past week Jax has gotten SO strong! I've been able to feel his movements here and there for a while now, but this past week I can literally feel every single time he moves! And I love it! Me and Cole were about to go to sleep a few nights ago and Jaxton gave me a couple really strong kicks, so I told Cole to put his hand there. Cole has felt him move before, but seeing his face light up when he got to feel a really strong kick made me almost cry! I just love that he's into this pregnancy as much as I am. Also, I had a dream last night that I could grab Jax's head through my belly and when I woke up he was moving around like a wild child, so his movements are strong even while I'm sleeping, making me dream about him! So cool! Here is this weeks belly pic!
With each weeks pregnancy update, I am going to link a blog post that I write about pregnancy or parenting, so I hope you read, enjoy, and share those with other moms as well! This week I wrote two posts: Birth: Hospital Bag Checklist and The ONLY 6 Things You Need For A Baby

luol deng - big crown to fill
Image Credit: NBC Miami
As we all know Lebron James is returning to Cleveland for the 2014-2015 NBA season. Shortly after that news was announced the Miami Heat made a huge move in re-signing Forward/ Center Chris Bosh. They gave him a max contract of 5 years 118 million dollars. A lot of people including myself and Stephen A. Smith of ESPN feel that he was way over paid. That being said even with Chris Bosh coming back to Miami there's still the matter of replacing Lebron James. The Heat had already picked up Danny Granger a very good offensive forward who has had some injury problems as of late. To me, this means that the Miami Heat are planning on starting Chris Bosh at the center position. I say this because a few hours ago forward from Cleveland, Luol Deng, was picked up by the Heat for 2 years 20.1 million dollars. Deng, known for his defensive skills and being one of the best defensive weapons against Lebron James, is now being called upon to fill the shoes of King James. This move is obviously a step in the right direction for the Heat; Luol Deng knows how to score the basketball with a career ppg of 16.0. I also feel that the Heat will get their money's worth out of Deng a lengthy player who's great at both ends of the floor. The Heat's future was looking dim a day or two ago but with this acquisition of Deng, and maybe a few more key moves, their playoff chances in 2014-2015 may gain some more credibility. I look forward to seeing how the Heat react to a Lebronless game style, and I'm very interested to see where they end up when April arrives. Leave a comment saying where you think the Heat will end up going into the 2015 postseason, or if you think they'll bottom out.

Supriya Srivastav does what she loves. She runs a social media consulting firm, Purple Filter. She teaches kids, women and a few men how to twirl their waist with a hula hoop. Through social media, she helps a few people suffering from depression.
Life, she says, is content. But it wasn't until a few months ago.
She had a bad breakup in 2017. Then, last February, her "dadu" (grandfather), who was her "biggest support system", passed away.
"I could not move on from it. I just stopped functioning," she says. She knew it was the onset of depression. Because she has suffered it before, when she was 24, in 2011.
"I was sexually harassed at my workplace. I knew there was something wrong about the whole thing. But at that point, I thought I must have done something wrong, too. I was naive," she says.
Supriya, from Bengaluru, went to Delhi to stay with her parents for a while. For six months, she was on antidepressants. "It was a difficult time for my parents, too, to see me taking pills every day."
She gradually overcame it, returned to Bengaluru and focussed on her career. But following a job-switch in 2015 (which, in hindsight, was a bad idea), a breakup and a death of the person she loved the most, Supriya was sinking into depression again.
"This time, I was determined not to take pills. Of course, there is nothing wrong with it. But I felt I could do without them," she says.
Watching her from the corner of her room, when she used to lie idle on her bed, was her new "companion": hula hoop.
Going in circles
Supriya's first encounter with a hula hoop was happenchance. She was holidaying in Goa, when she heard a Russian tourist say, "Indians are boring, they won't do this", pointing at a dark green hula hoop on a table.
"I was slightly intoxicated. And, I wanted to disprove her," Supriya laughs. She twirled the hoop with her waist for two-three minutes. "It was for a short time but I liked what I did. I was feeling like a child again."
After returning from vacation, she ordered a hoop online. "I used to hoop for five minutes. Then, it became half an hour. Now I can hoop with my hair bun," she says.
Hooping, she says, is addictive, for it exercises the whole body and lets you have fun. "You might be embarrassed to rotate your hip with a big circle for the first time. But once you try it on, you'd want to do it more."
Hula hoop helped Supriya get fit. "I used to stress-eat a lot. I was gaining more fat. I was reluctant to pose for photos." She wanted to be fit but was averse to gyms. So, this was an added motivation to hoop. "I now love the way I look."
Among her students -- about 40 of them -- is a postpartum mother, trying to lose weight. "When she hooped for the first time, she had pains. She took a break but she came back, saying she really enjoyed it."
Hula hooping, despite being a fad in several places in the west, isn't a big deal in India, yet. Supriya's next project, hence, is to popularise the activity. "There are a few popular hula hoopers in India. They do some spectacular tricks, which, for a beginner, might look tough. But anyone, literally, can do it. This is the message I want to promote. I want others also to enjoy something that changed my life."

As you know, you understand just how frustrating car repairs can be. By learning a little bit about automotive repairs, you can save lots of money and stress. Apply the great auto repair tips in this article to your life. You will find it useful when your car breakdowns.
Ask a mechanic any questions about your vehicle. Preventing issues can save you a lot of saving money annually.
If something is unclear, make sure to clarify it first. You don't want to avoid being surprised with additional charges once the car is fixed.
You do not have to call a mechanic every time you are having car to the shop when there is an issue. There are many things you can do easily. If it is not a very difficult job, attending to the repair yourself could save a considerable amount of money.
Never leave anything in your car when it is getting repaired. Mechanics may need to take these items out to do the inside of your vehicle and they cannot be held responsible if an item is damaged or missing. You want to remove items from your trunk.
Look for obvious "red flags" when dealing with a new auto repair mechanics may give off. If they talk to you in circles or they don't pay attention to your questions, then they might not be all that you want them to be. You want to be able to trust the person doing your repairs, so don't be afraid to choose another one.
Always think of how to fix your car before trying to get it repaired. You probably already know that a few mechanics sometime engage in dishonesty if they think they can make a larger profit.
Most shops are honest, but others may try to slip in little extras which quickly add up. Search for an auto repair shop that are experienced in repairing the make of vehicle you have. These shops can better understand how to perform the needed repairs your car needs.
Ask about labor rates or prices before giving the keys to a mechanic. Some repair shops display their rates, so read carefully and ask questions if you don't understand something. You should understand how you are billed to you. Some shops have estimated labor times established by specific manufacturers. A lot of repairs that seem to be easy to fix could end up taking a relatively minor repair to be an all day in some cases.
Take photos of your car before taking it to a new shop. Some unethical shops strip parts off your vehicle and resell them. You need to be able to document the vehicle looks like in case you experience this terrible thing.
Don't self diagnose and fix complex auto repair issues. What seems like something small may actually be quite complicated, especially in the newer electric cars and also the newer computerized vehicles. Let repair shops diagnose your problem. Tell them what you've observed, but allow them to determine the cause.
Don't let a mechanic convince you that an engine flush is a normal maintenance visit. This service is expensive and not something that is typically done during the course of normal maintenance.
Not many people read their car's owner manual. You should review this manual and learn how to use it so that important details are easy to find. Your manual has all that you need to know about maintaining your vehicle and performing small repairs yourself.
It is possible that there was a recall issue if multiple people report the same problem.The manufacturer may fix your car free of charge.
Consistency is key when it comes to auto repairs. Stick to a shop that has gained your trust instead of going to multiple places for work. Different mechanics might tell you something else is wrong with your car. They could charge different amounts that cause you more; don't let this happen.
Don't fix your car right away.Call several other dealerships or garages to inquire what they charge for the type of repair the original mechanic is recommending. If you can get a cheaper price, pay the first mechanic for their time and take your vehicle to the cheaper shop.
Keep an accordion file with all your important repair receipts in your glove box. You can sort them however you like as long as you know what is where.This is particularly valuable when you get your car.
Put your car on a jack stands if you're storing it.
Ask people you trust for a good mechanic. This is a great way to locate a good mechanic since their skills would be proven by your friend's experience. This is a far better than giving your business to a mechanic you know nothing about.
Spend a little time learning about your car works. You will only avoid the mechanic if you spend time learning about your car. You can cut costs considerably by changing your oil or tires yourself.
The mechanic is the first obstacle you face with auto repair. You do not want to work with a shady mechanic. Watch for negative body language like lack of eye contact, talk fast, or talking too fast.
Car problems can be a hassle to deal with. They are often very expensive too. If you learn a little about the basics of car repair and apply the tips in this article, you will be able to keep your vehicle running and save yourself a lot of cash.

Research has assumed a crucial part in the advancement and development of restorative sciences. In this period of proof-based prescription, distribution of refreshed writing is viable to patient care and to further major discoveries in the field of medicine. Research is not only vital to medicine but also to a number of other fields. However, it's unfortunate that basic ethics of research are sometimes bypassed. Plagiarism has been prevalent (1), particularly due to easy access available to several original studies via the internet (2). Defined as the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own (3, 4), plagiarism is a serious offence due to the negation of contributions of original writers, it has proven to be severely problematic (5, 6).
Recently, a number of studies have been published on research ethics but those are mostly from the developed part of the world where research ethics are taught at the undergraduate level. In comparison, the research output on research ethics focusing especially on plagiarism from developing countries including Pakistan is low (7). Ghias's survey (5) on general disregard of research ethics in Pakistani medical students reported a high frequency of medical students involved in copying work from online published sources, seniors, class fellows with or without their permission, fabrication of data to present desirable outputs, forging professors' signatures, faking health certificates, etc.
Although plagiarism detection software is advancing (8, 9) and there has been an increase in the number of plagiarized papers being recognized and withdrawn from the journals, there is a lack of awareness about their existence (10). A clear absence of accentuation by establishments featuring the issue has been cited as one of the significant explanations behind widespread plagiarism (7).
Plagiarism is not only repeatedly opted by medical peers (11) but also other professional students. However, no such research has been conducted highlighting this fact and establishing a comparison between medical and non-medical students of this misconduct. The purpose of this study was to fill that gap in the assessment of plagiarism and explore the attitudes towards plagiarism amongst medical students and compare it with students from other professional branches including engineering, arts, commerce, etc.
In January-February 2017, we received an approval from the Institutional review board of Dow University of Health Sciences to conduct an eight-week cross-sectional study for the assessment of the knowledge and attitudes of Undergraduate students in Karachi, Pakistan towards plagiarism in researches. With a confidence level of 95% and an outcome factor frequency of 50%, a sample size of 384 was calculated. Using convenience sampling, we interviewed 412 students. Considering that 18 (4.3%) out of 412 interviewees refused to take part in the study and a further 7 (1.6%) left the questionnaires incomplete which were thus discarded, the cooperation rate came out to be 94.1%.
All undergraduate students of Karachi irrespective of their fields of study were allowed to participate. Since all participants of our study were 18 years old or above, written consent was taken only after ensuring the anonymity of their identities and confidentiality of their responses. Age and socioeconomic restrictions such as household income and enrollment in public/private sector universities were not placed. The only restrictions placed were academic status which should be undergraduate and city of residence which had to be Karachi. The questionnaire was developed according to the objective and design of our study by an equal contribution from all the authors. It consisted of 28 questions and was divided into three parts. The first part focused on the knowledge of the interviewees about plagiarism in researches and included questions regarding awareness of research ethics, the term plagiarism and the different tools used to detect plagiarism. Two scenario-based questions (12) were also included for better assessment of the knowledge as shown in Table 1. One was plagiarized while the other was not. The second and the third section of the questionnaire involved attitude and practice-related questions respectively. Attitudes were assessed using questions related to the personal views of students towards the importance of plagiarism-proof writing and the punishments associated with cases of non-compliance. Practice-related questions considered the reasons of plagiarizing, if done in the past, together with the measures taken to eradicate plagiarism, if any.
|Scenario 1
|Is author's version plagiarized?
|Original source: With advances in polymer synthesis, electronics and micro/nanofabrication, contact lens sensors can be produced to quantify the concentrations of many biomolecules in ocular fluids (12).
|Author's version: Farandos NM, et al, believes that certain advances in polymer synthesis and related technologies can help us quantify the concentrations of many biomolecules in ocular fluids by virtue of the development of contact lens sensors (12).
|Scenario 2
|Is author's version plagiarized?
|Original source: With advances in polymer synthesis, electronics and micro/nanofabrication, contact lens sensors can be produced to quantify the concentrations of many biomolecules in ocular fluids (12).
|Author's version: I believe that certain advances in polymer synthesis, electronics and micro/nanofabrication, contact lens sensors can be produced to quantify the concentrations of many biomolecules in ocular fluids.
All the authors collected data using a pre-coded questionnaire by conducting face-to-face interviews. Certain measures were taken to avoid possible biases. The interviewers avoided engaging in mundane conversations, had prepared explanations of the questions and set a time for the participants. This aimed at reducing interviewer and instruction bias. Response bias was reduced by ensured anonymity. The time frame for the practice questions was 1 year which minimized recall bias. Using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSver. 23; IBM, Armonk, NY, USA), χ-2 test was applied to compare the responses of medical and non-medical students to find possible statistical correlations.
A total of 385 students, enrolled in medical and non-medical universities completed the questionnaire, out of which 145 (37.7%) were males and 240(62.3%) were females. 206(53.4%) students were enrolled in medical universities while 179 (46.4%) belonged to non-medical universities. The mean age of the students was 21.1 ± 1.8. Students enrolled in medical universities belonged to Dow University of Health Sciences (168 students), Jinnah Sindh Medical University (16 students), Karachi Medical and Dental College (6 students), and Ziauddin University Hospital (11 students), among which 191 students were enrolled in MBBS program, 8 students in BDS program and 7 students were doing Doctor of Pharmacy. Students enrolled in non-medical universities belonged to Karachi University (73 students), NED University (61 students), Institute of Business Administration (36 students), Iqra University (10 students), and Tabani's School of Accountancy (4 students), among which 64 students were enrolled in BBA program, 29 students in Arts, 49 students in engineering, 17 students in Computer Science, 4 in Chartered Accountancy, and 16 in Law program. Demographics are shown in Table 2.

A vast majority of individuals (n=288, 74.6%) were aware of research ethics and had heard about the term plagiarism (n=353, 91.5%). Majority of individuals (n=335, 86.8%) were aware of the term "referencing" and knew its importance. More than two-thirds of the individuals identified the authentic ie, not plagiarized paragraph (n=262, 67.9%), and plagiarized paragraph (n=267, 69.2%).
An overwhelming majority of individuals (n=365, 94.6%) considered it important to discuss issues like plagiarism in research ethics. Almost half of the individuals (n=180, 48.6%) believed that self-plagiarism was plagiarism and more than one-third (n=136, 35.5%) believed that they work in plagiarism-free environments. Almost one-third of the individuals (n=125, 32.4%) held the opinion that plagiarism could be justified by short deadlines, and 154 (39.9%) felt tempted to commit plagiarism because everyone else was doing it. Almost all the individuals (n=332, 86%) thought plagiarism could be avoided and 303 (78.5%) believed that authors who plagiarize deserve punishment. 271 (70.2%) individuals supposed that beginners in the field of research should be forgiven for plagiarism since they're at the early stage of learning, while a majority (n=342, 88.6%) considered plagiarism as stealing.
More than half of the individuals (n=235, 60.9%) had experience with researches. Almost half of them (n=186, 48.2%) plagiarized unintentionally due to lack of knowledge and learned about it later. Majority (n=238, 61.7%) considered checking their articles for plagiarism before sending it to a journal. More than one-third of the individuals (n=138, 35.8%) used freely available online tools to detect plagiarism in their research papers, 150 (38.9%) used to get their articles reviewed for plagiarism by the review board of your institute before sending it to a journal. Only 91 (23.6%) plagiarized because their institute did not have a plagiarism policy, and 238 (61.7%) copied a friend's or a colleague's work with his permission.
χ-2 tests were conducted and knowledge of, attitude towards, and practices regarding research ethics and plagiarism of medical students were compared with those of non-medical students. Medical students were more aware of the research ethics than non-medical students (P=0.001). Majority of the medical students identified the authentic paragraph and plagiarized paragraph (P=0.005, and P<0.001, respectively). When the attitudes were compared, significantly more medical students considered it important to discuss issues like plagiarism in research ethics than non-medical students (P=0.011) and did not believe that plagiarism is justified for short deadlines (P<0.001). Non-medical students felt tempted to plagiarize because everyone else was doing it more than medical students (P<0.001), and a majority of medical students considered plagiarism as stealing (P<0.001). Furthermore, statistically significant differences were also found when comparing the practices of medical and non-medical students. More medical students had experience with research than non-medical students (P=0.003). Significantly more non-medical students plagiarized unintentionally due to lack of knowledge and learnt about it later than medical students (P<0.001). However, more non-medical students used online plagiarism detection tools to check plagiarism in their papers (P<0.001) and get their articles reviewed for plagiarism by the review board of their institute before sending it to a journal (P=0.036). Statistically, a significant difference was found to exist between the groups when they were asked if they had ever plagiarized because their institute did not have a plagiarism policy (P<0.001). More non-medical students had copied a friend's or a colleague's work with his permission than non-medical students (P<0.001). The comparative results with their significant differences have been shown in Table 3.

Our principal finding was that a majority of the participants had significant knowledge of the term plagiarism and the importance of referencing and considered its discussion vital in research ethics. These results are inconsistent with another study conducted in Pakistan which indicated a significant lack of the knowledge of referencing and plagiarism among students and faculty members of medical colleges (7). Similarly, another study on dental and medical professionals in India reports the lack of knowledge and awareness in this regard (13). A similar majority of the participants in our study had prior experience with researches and preferred checking their articles for plagiarism by using freely available online tools before sending it to a journal. Thus with research experience, the chances of an author publishing plagiarized work is reduced. Consistent with this finding, plagiarism is reported quite frequently in the early stages of a researcher's career (14) whereas relatively fewer studies report such incidences in students of higher grades with more research experience (15). Furthermore, the study by Shirazi et al (2010) (7) discussed herein also revealed a better understanding of self-plagiarism among faculty members in contrast to medical students due to differences in prior research experiences.
The participants' knowledge in our study was assessed with two sample paragraphs; one of which was plagiarized and the other was not. Even with the strong belief of an overwhelming majority of the interviewees that plagiarism is avoidable, some of them (especially the ones in their early stages of learning) still plagiarized unintentionally as was also seen in the study (16), while others justified it with the lack of an institutional review policy and considered it for short deadlines. Undeveloped authorial identity is speculated as a major cause of unintentional plagiarism (16). Considering review procedures for plagiarism cumbersome and a difficult task for the institutions, instructional interventions were developed for individuals; the beneficial effects of which in terms of knowledge to avoid plagiarism were reported in the study conducted on the students of London (16). Since most of the individuals in our study considered plagiarism as stealing, as reported in a previous research conducted in Saudi Arabia (17), they deemed it as a punishable offence. However, they still believed that beginners in the field of research should be given some leverage in this aspect.
Secondly, we found statistically significant differences in knowledge, attitudes, and practices between medical and non-medical students with medical students having more knowledge about research ethics and plagiarism. Thus, a majority of them could differentiate the plagiarized sample paragraph from the authentic one. A similar study with a slight difference in the choice of the subjects was conducted in Karachi, Pakistan by Shirazi et al in 2010, in which they compared the knowledge of medical students and faculty members and concluded little difference between the two groups (7). Rathore et al reported positive attitudes of the medical students towards plagiarism in their study conducted in Lahore, Pakistan in 2015 (18). In this study, we found statistically significant differences between the attitudes and practices of medical and non-medical students towards plagiarism with a generally negative attitude among medical students towards the act of plagiarism, possibly as a result of greater experience in the field. Thus, significant emphasis was laid on the detailed discussion of plagiarism in research ethics. This coupled with the fact that a significant majority of these students considered plagiarism as stealing and did not justify plagiarism in case of short deadlines, meant that reported temptation to plagiarize was essentially lower than that analyzed in the other group. As an outcome, non-medical students were comparatively more inclined towards the practice of plagiarism with or without a reasonable explanation for doing so. These differences in attitudes between medical and non-medical students can perhaps be attributed to additional multiple factors. Firstly, medical students are more likely to be aware of both, the importance of ethics, due to medical schools focusing on bio-ethics to improve patient care, and the importance of research, as there is strong encouragement from faculty in medical schools (19, 20). Secondly, the curriculum of medical schools in Pakistan has a specific focus on teaching research methodology which is bound to improve knowledge and hence, attitudes towards ethical practices (21). Thirdly, physicians in Pakistan are mostly under public employment and to advance through the ranks, a certain number of publications are required; therefore they are more likely to work with medical students enforcing better attitudes towards research ethics. Finally, there are dedicated private institutions which teach medical students how to conduct research properly such the Research Council of Pakistan, such institutions do not exist for other fields.
Our study has certain limitations which need to be considered. Since our study is based solely on undergraduate students in well-reputed universities of Karachi, accurate assessment of overall existent knowledge and attitudes towards plagiarism could not be made. This is because all the participants essentially belonged to the same age group and socioeconomic status with seemingly easier access to plagiarism detection tools. Also due to convenience sampling, students currently at the same academic level were assessed and professionally qualified researchers could not be included in our study hence, our population lacked diversity. We have reported only one aspect of research ethical misconducts that is plagiarism while there exist many others, which even though less prevalent, are still important to discuss and take care of. Some of these aspects include falsification, fabrication, misrepresentation, breach of confidentiality, etc.
Having said that, efforts should be taken to promote research on this topic with alterations in the interviewees' age and academic statuses so that diverse perspectives could be gathered about the knowledge and prevalence of plagiarism. The population under consideration should include different demographic groups such as people from socioeconomic backgrounds and institutes other than those already considered especially focusing on the researchers who have no knowledge or access to plagiarism detection software. However, the comparisons between the medical and non-medical students drawn in this study should also be extended further for additional insight into the possible reasons of differences in attitudes and practices between the two groups. Research department officials in colleges should be separately assessed to see if advanced learning and easier access to different research tools have had an impact on their attitude towards plagiarism. Since research ethics constitute a separate discipline which studies the norms and serves the aim of a research, these are vital, as adherence to these promote values that give rise to collaborative work which ultimately affects the success of a research. Thus, the prevalence of ethical misconducts of a study other than plagiarism should also be analyzed in further studies. Also, interviewee's opinion regarding the avoidance of plagiarism and other elements of ethical misconducts should be considered.
This study aimed at determining the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of an undergraduate student towards plagiarism, shows that a huge majority of individuals had proper knowledge of the terms plagiarism and referencing and realized their importance. This gave rise to a significantly negative attitude towards plagiarism in this group as shown by the approach considered towards researchers who plagiarize. However, the practice of plagiarism was prevalent in these individuals when they did not have the knowledge about research ethics which gives us the idea that majority of the researchers currently practicing plagiarism might be doing so because of the lack of knowledge. Further studies should assess this association which if proven true must be followed by an academic strategy aimed at raising proper awareness in researchers. Also, it was observed that medical and non-medical students had considerable differences in their opinions with medical students having a negative attitude towards plagiarism owing to their greater knowledge and experience with researches. Since academic integrity is important in making students more ethical in their profession, institutions must come together to generate a culture of integrity for the correction of student behaviors, especially, concerning ethical misconducts. Furthermore, institutions should provide their students with resources to screen their manuscripts for plagiarism before sending it to a journal. Emphasis on research ethics should be laid on in the undergraduate medical school curriculum which might decrease deliberate plagiarism. This shall contribute to more authentic and less questionable publications from the students.
This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS).

Voyager – Bodies in Space
Written by Ylenia Callus and edited by James Byrne
The dancers, with their elegant and swan-like poise, let their feet glide and linger through the air as they're propelled up high; only to fall later, supported in numbers and never alone.
Like rocks floating in space they turn and disperse in a choreographed chaos that leaves behind two bodies still in space.
With this description of a particularly beautiful scene from ŻfinMalta's breath-taking show 'Voyager' I hope to express to readers how truly exciting and well-choreographed it is.
The performance is inspired by the images and sounds that were imprinted onto a gold-plated disc and blasted into space in 1977 along with the Voyager 1 and 2 interstellar spacecraft
NASA placed the ambitious message, containing many sounds and images from earth, into the craft in order to communicate the story of our world to any extra-terrestrials who discovered it
ŻfinMalta, the national dance company of Malta, first launched the show last November and is now going on a national tour in theatres across the island.
On Friday, 29thMarch, they opened the doors for a sneak preview before the tour started.
The performance is described in the programme as such:
'Voyager propels its audience into a place of exploration of what it means to be human, reflecting on who we are as actors on a small stage in this fragile pale blue dot'
Voyager proves to be more than just images and sounds spacecraft space but a journey between people. Paolo Mangiola, the artistic director and choreographer of Voyager, stated in the rehearsal that the piece was not about representation, but about evoking ideas and principles in space and time.
Three snippets of the production were shown, out of sequence and in a sort of rough cut. I was tremendously impressed as, despite having an unclear and out of line narrative – the play still held such presence and gravitas.
In one scene I experienced an interaction between bodies in space that seemed like magnets in play, repeatedly being attracted and also repelled by each other.
The bodies of the dancers are refined, playful, light and full of purpose. As in these moments of lifting bodies and dominant games you yourself feel intrigued as your eyes voyage across the dance studio to keep track of the dancers and not miss a single step.
The dominant game of layers was further supported by composer Veronique Vella, costume designer Luke Azzopardi and Visual Artist Austin Camilleri.
The music was layered with "mystical" synthesizer sounds and string melodies to create a fitting and atmospheric backdrop.
This, mixed with Azzopardi's simple but hand stitched beaded fabric and Camilleri's intriguing golden design, helped make Voyager an adventure for all that encounter it.
Voyager will be performing in these areas and dates:
13th APRIL – ST AGATHA, RABAT, 20:00
27th APRIL – TEATRU AURORA, GOZO, 20:00
3rd MAY – PJAZZA TEATRU RJAL, VALLETTA, 21:00

3 pointsKeep being antagonistic and you'll find yourself on the outside looking in. The act is getting tired. There are lots of songs /albums where I've disagreed with the general consensus of the fans, yet there's no need to be disrespectful. Your act is tired.
3 pointsIt was packed. I was in the fourth row and she was AMAZING. I just got back from the meet and greet and I could hardly talk because I didn't want to burst into tears lol. She was very complimentary of my hair.
2 points...if you have not seen Janet's Vegas Show you have FUCKED UP BIG TIME!!!!!! LET ME SAY. That fucking show snatched my fucking soul and anything left that I thought I still had in me. Youtube clips did that show no justice. EVERYTHING from the setlist to the arrangement to the segue ways to the mixes to the choreo to the sound to the fucking special effects to Janet attutude and fierceness.!!! The youtube clips made u think Janet was being kind of pulled back dancewise.....when i tell you SHE WAS NOT FUCKING PLAYING. That show was a gazillion times better than i was expecting. Sitting in that audience and juss the energy in the building from her to every single body in that room felt like a fuckin religion. It felt spiritual!!!!!!!!!!!! That PRODUCTION PRODUCTION PRODUCTION PRODUCTION!!!!!!!!!! I can not tell you how long i have waited for production like that from her. It def had HIGH PRODUCTION value...i might be tempted to say the closest in production she has had to this show is the Rock Tour...but this shit??????? Im on a high i dont wanna come down from...i was in a trance. And juss when u thought she was winding down the show...it was juss hit after hit after hit after hit. The audience was goin INSANEEEEE!!!!! This show literally reminded me why i LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH as a performer and an all around entertainer. This show needs to be seen by the masses. It was a complete show stopper. I SWEAR TO U. Aight im done had felt compelled to share my experience with yall...cus i know its always so many assumptions and this and that...but i was THERE and witness far beyond wtf i was expecting. PERIOD!!!!!!!! I cannot for the life of me understand how they put that show together in juss 5 wks. It looks like somethinf that would have took at least 6 MONTHS! This goes to show u how much of a complete BEAST she is. We are not worthy. We juss are not! The nay sayers and debbie downers can go cry under a rock somewhere or something..shit idk go kick a couple of em while u at it..cus u havent even seen the show to TRULY judge the experience of the dynamics of the show.

1 point"Iconic rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott will be honored with the 2019 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award at this year's annual MTV Video Music Awards on August 26. The four-time Grammy winner will be the first female rapper with receive the award and the fourth rap artist to be honored, following LL Cool J (1997), the Beastie Boys (1998), and Kanye West (2015). Elliott's music videos, which could feature anything from her sporting a voluminous, trash bag-esque ensemble to breakdancing children, are often held up as watershed moments in pop culture, hailed for their innovation when it came to concept, fashion and aesthetics. Legendary music video directors Hype Williams and Dave Meyers were frequent collaborators, but it was Elliott's confident, funny and dynamic spirit, so evident to her fans, that were present in the visuals as much as her songs." "Elliott took to her Twitter following the announcement on Monday that she would be receiving the award, thanking her fans for their support throughout the years." It's been an auspicious year for recognition for Elliott; this June, she made history when she became the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Elliott's performance at the 2019 VMAs will be her first since 2003. https://time.com/5650222/missy-elliott-video-vanguard-award-mtv-vmas-2019/ She deserves it!

1 pointThis is a good one. Visually, I prefer MFN but overall? RWU. Outstanding video and I prefer the song to MFN.
1 pointAngela is kinda...turning me on 🐈
1 pointSo, I won't and do not want this to turn into a bash fest. I will say say that it's been a decision that I wrestled with for some time as he wasn't always breaking forum rules but was teetering on it. I had to take a step back as I read MANY threads (some reported and others at random) to see what kind of environment his behavior was creating. Some of it was how he behaved with other fans and others are the way he voices his displeasure with Janet, especially music that didn't come from AFY. This is just a small instance of repeated behavior. He definitely is a huge fan of Janet's, but, I also need to recognize that I've banned fans of hers before so I couldn't keep letting that be a reason to keeping him around. I know this forum will never be as active as the main board used to be, and I'm fine with that. What I'm not fine with, is the continuation of a toxic environment because of a difference of opinion.
1 pointIt'd be a ban that was almost 18 years in the making. Most of your assessments and opinions are illogical, half baked, nonsensical and add no value which is why you resort to the tactics you employ to unsuccessfully distract from you obscene lack of reasoning and critical thinking skills. It's almost borderline abuse to have to keep subjecting forum members to you. It's about time I recognized you as the court jester you are.
1 pointAnd I echo the sentiments on the production value. She really stepped it up with this residency.
1 pointWell, she's not obligated to. Right? Actually, I listened to 20 Y.O. a couple of times this week, and it's a fun album. It's a good album to dance to and overall, I think it's better than Discipline (but not better than Damita Jo).
1 pointU bitches must be bored cuz no way should this topic be over 3 pages, especially as its been done to death in different forms.

grenada chocolate festival 2020
from tree to bar
About Grenada chocolate fest
Grenada Chocolate Fest is an annual week-long festival that takes place in May on the Caribbean Island of Grenada. Grenada, the southern most windward island, is home to over five chocolate factories including the world famous Grenada Chocolate Company founded by the god-fathers of modern tree-to-bar chocolate Mott Green and Edmund Brown. Food, learning and entertainment experiences take place all over the island with the intention of celebrating ethical tree-to-bar chocolate.
How It Started
Grenada Chocolate Fest was founded in 2014 by Magdalena Fielden- a passionate chocolate lover, philanthropist and crazy cacao lady. Magdalena, a native Mexican, came to Grenada with her husband in 1996 to raise their then young family. Together they own and run the charming True Blue Bay Boutique Resort.
In 2000 the Grenada Chocolate Company, founded by Mott Green and Edmond Browne, the godfathers of modern tree to bar chocolate, opened its doors. It was Grenada's first-ever chocolate factory after hundreds of years of growing fine flavoured cocoa for export to traditional chocolate-making countries like Europe and North America. The Grenada Chocolate Company was the first of several chocolate makers that now exist on the island and grow organic fine flavoured cocoa to make a small batch ethical tree to bar chocolate.
The Effects of the Festivals Success
The Grenada Chocolate Fest celebrates all thing cocoa from the tree-to-bar chocolate making the process to local and sustainable cocoa inspired products. Through the Festival's carefully curated schedule of events, festival-goers will be taken around the stunning tropical island, into the cocoa fields and behind the scenes of sustainably run cottage style chocolate factories and small scale modern factories.
Over the years the festival has attracted chocolate lovers and chocolatiers from around the globe. It has been a hot spot for budding chocolatiers to learn from experts and thus the Grenada Chocolate Fest has been a catalyst for the ever blossoming chocolate and cocoa industries around the island and beyond.
sharing the cacao love
Since its inception in 2014 the Grenada Chocolate Fest has witnessed and has been part of the blossoming of the cocoa and chocolate industries on the island. Our objective is to awaken a deep pride and love for cocoa and chocolate among Grenadians of all generations and to share the cacao love with the world.

The dilemma over the existence of God is probably the most common dilemma of them all. Everyone from time to time will have a dream about "God." Its symbolism depends on the dreamer. God in our dreams can be considered a positive or self affirming symbol. It represents truth, purity, and love. It also represents the creative energy which is abundant in all of us (whether we know it or not).
For a certain number of people, in the dream state, God may have negative connotations.
For them God could represent eternal punishment, damnation, and invoke massive amount guilt. Most religions consider dreams to be a pathway to God or to the spiritual realm. Through dreams we have an opportunity to have experiences which are not available during the day. Our unconscious mind may be more capable of connecting to the eternal flow of spirit and it may be the dwelling place of the soul. See Also: Jesus... The Bedside Dream Dictionary

God in a dream can depict several things: a set of emotions we use to deal with anxiety, i.e. our own belief that a higher power is in charge, so therefore we are all right in the world and are not responsible; a parent image from early infancy; a set of moral or philosophical beliefs one holds; self judgment; something/one we worship; a feeling of connection with humanity; an expression of the fundamental creative/destructive process in oneself.

Indian Interpretation of Dreams
To dream that God speaks to you suggests you are feeling guilty about something. Also see "Gods/Goddesses", below.... My Dream Interpretation
1- When we dream of God we are acknowledging to ourselves that there is a higher power in charge. We connect with all humanitv. and therefore have a right to a certain set of moral beliefs. We all have needs for love and approval which can only be met through our understanding of our childhood. In a woman's dream, dreaming of mythical gods will help her to understand various aspects of her own personality. In a man's dream lie is linking with his own masculinitv and his sense of belonging to himself, and therefore to the rest of humanity.
2- fhe powerful emotions we sometimes experience may be connectcd with our tremendous childhood need for love and parental approval. Often these emotions can be personalised and recognised in the figures of mythical gods. Adonis signifies health, beautv and self-adoration.
Apollo signifies the Sun, and taught Chiron the art of healing. It is interesting that although Heracles was taught the art of healing by Chiron, when lie accidentally shot Chiron the latter was not able to accept healing from him. Jehovah, in the sense of a vengeful god, alerts us to the negative side of power. Mars as the god of war symbolises the drive we require to succeed. Mercury (or Hermes) suggests communication, often of a sensitive sort. He is the patron of magic. Zeus is the king of the gods and signifies fathering in both its positive and negative forms.
3- Spiritually; we are aware of a greater power. Christian belief holds to one God, although manifesting in three forms - Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Other religions attribute the powers to various Gods. As we grow in understanding, we can appreciate the relevance of both beliefs and can begin to understand God as an all- pervading energy....

Symbols: Flaming hearth, globe, altar, vest, locked box, shelter Persephone: Goddess of death, the underworld, renewal, and transformation. Symbols: Pomegranate seeds, narcissus flower, gates, chariot, two faces, spring... Strangest Dream Explanations
1- Dreaming of mythical goddesses connects us with our archetypal images of femininity (see Archetypes). In a woman's dream a goddess will clarify the connection through the unconscious that exists between all women and female creatures. It is the sense of mystery, of a shared secret, which is such an intangible force within the woman's psyche. In the waking state it is that which enables women to crcate a sisterhood or network among themselves in order to bring about a common aim.
To dream about goddesses therefore is to accept our right to initiation into this group. In a man's dream the goddess figure signifies all that a man fears in the concept of female power. It usually also gives an insight into his earliest view of femininity through his experience of his mother.
2- There are many goddess figures in all cultures. There are those perceived as being destructive such as Kali, Bast and Lilith. and also beneficent ones such as Athena and Hermia.
The beneficent ones which women most closely relate to are given here: Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, moves women to be both creative and procreativc. She governs a woman's enjoyment of love and beauty. Artemis, who is the goddess of the moon, personifies the independent feminine spirit whose ultimate goal is achievement. She is often pictured as the hunter. Athena is goddess of wisdom and strategy. She is logical and self-assured and is ruled by her mental faculties rather than her emotions. Demeter, the maternal archetype and goddess and fertility, highlights a woman's drive to provide physical and spiritual support for her children. Hera, the goddess of marriage, denotes the woman who has her essential goal of finding a husband and being married as paramount and anv other role as secondary.
Hestia. goddess of the hearth, manifests the patient woman who finds steadiness in seclusion. She emits a sense of wholeness. Persephone, who is ultimately queen of the underworld but only- through having rejected her status as Demeter's daughter, gives expression to woman's tendency towards a need to please and be needed bv others. Her submissive behaviour and passivity must change to an ability to take responsibility for who she is.
3- Spiritually; women are able to make intuitive links with the essential aspects of her own personality. She then achieves a greater understanding of her own make up, and is able to use all facets of her being within her normal everyday life.... Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary
To dream about goddesses, therefore, is to accept our right to initiation into this group.... Dream Meanings of Versatile
2. Someone to ask the aid of.
3. Rely more on one's family. ... New American Dream Dictionary
If you dream of worshipping the gods, you are feeling sorry for past actions or mistakes.
If you dream of being a god/goddess indicates that you have special talents which you have not yet recognized or fully developed. Alternatively, such a dream may suggest your feelings of superiority over others.... My Dream Interpretation
2. If one imagines oneself as godzilla, one thinks of him/herself as very powerful.
3. If godzilla is an enemy, one deeply fears whomever the character represents in life.
4. Fear of some great evil.
5. Facing godzilla means facing one's fears.
6. Fears are out of control. ... New American Dream Dictionary
2. Lack of mobility. ... New American Dream Dictionary
A hostage in a dream also represents mistakes, errors, exposing people's private life, divulging people's secrets, slander, or a debt that keeps the person subject to constant harassment. Being a hostage in a dream also means adversities, trials, or falling in love with someone, whereby, one's heart becomes a hostage of his beloved. (Also see Enemy; Enmity)... Islamic Dream Interpretation
The dream suggests that you may experience feelings of powerlessness and can not see you way out of a difficult situation. Because a hostage is taken against his will, you may be feeling as though you have been trapped by another or by circumstances. Also, the hostage situation in your dream may represent a part of your personality that is not being expressed. It could be your creativity, intellect, or inner freedom.
The purpose of this dream may be to make you more aware of the limiting conditions in your life. Additionally, the dream may trigger your imagination and problem-solving abilities enabling you to see new possibilities.... The Bedside Dream Dictionary

A desire to be more in the limelight, as in Arena. Are you outgoing? Do you share of yourself? What role have you played, or what mask have you been hiding behind? What piece have you forgotten?... Little Giant Encyclopedia
1- I'o be on stage in a dream is to be making oneself visible.
An open-air stage suggests communication with the masses rather than a selected audience.
A moving stage signifies the need to keep moving, even while performing a role.
If we are members of the audience we need to be aware of the plot of the play and how it mav be relevant to us.
1- To be at a stage (of development, for instance) is to be cognisant of what one knows, but also what one docs not.
