"The unchanging blue reveals its specious thought; Marvellous the moon floats on through wondering skies; Earth's flowers spring up and laugh at time and death; The charmed mutations of the enchanter life Race like bright children past the smiling hours."
"If the spirit could from the first dwell securely in the superior heights and deal with a blank and virgin stuff of mind and matter, a complete spiritual transformation might be rapid, even facile: but the actual process of Nature is more difficult, the logic of her movement more manifold, contorted, winding, comprehen-sive; she recognises all the data of the task she has set to herself and is not satisfied with a summary triumph over her own complexities."
To the teachers of all the infant classes: "One rule which must be rigorously applied: It is absolutely forbidden to hit the children—all blows are forbidden, even the slightest little slap or the so-called friendly punch. To give a blow to a child because he does not obey or does not understand or because he is disturbing the others indicates a lack of self-control, and it is harmful for both teacher and student…. Disciplinary measures may be taken if necessary, but in complete calm and not because of a personal reaction."
The Mother TMCW/12/On Education-196
"Teacher: I hope you will give me precise instructions which will help me to keep order in my classes. The Mother's Answer: The most important is to master yourself and never lose your temper. If you don't have control over yourself, how can you expect to control others, above all, children, who feel it immediately when someone is not master of himself?"
The Mother TMCW/12/On Education-195
As for all the others, all those who want the human way of thinking and living, the world is vast and there is place there for everyone.
The Mother 10th August, 1960
The Agenda of integral education
Physical Education: Physical education is defined in Upanishadic language as earth is our footing and foundation and wider we extend and surer we enter the receptivity, plasticity and training of the body, wider and surer becomes our foundation for the higher knowledge whose perfection will lead towards discovery of true physical Being, Annamaya Purusha and imperishability of material substance. If we belittle physical training for any higher mental and spiritual quest then we do not become perfect but only shift the field of our imperfection. Vital Education: Vital education is defined as energising of conscious vital sheath by purifying, transforming and perfecting the vital, emotional and sensational mind and discovery of vital being, Pranamaya Purusha that liberates creative force of existence such as effective dynamism, enthusiasm, delight, love and beauty. Mental Education: The Mental education is defined as energising of conscious mental sheath by purifying, transforming and perfecting the intellect and discovery of true mental being, Manomaya Purusha, that liberates the power of concentration, development of capacities, organisation of ideas, control of thought and development of mental silence. Psychic Education: The Psychic education is the energising of the Psychic sheath in the heart by opening the Psychic being and leading towards the emergence of new faculty of law of consecration, awareness of true motive of life, knowledge on past, present and future, limitless expansion of Consciousness to arrive at universality. Psychic education draws one towards the immortal life, ever progressive change, unbroken continuity in the world of forms, meets the Immanent God dwelling in each form. The true Psychic Soul is the flame of the Godhead, always alight within us, inextinguishable even by that dense unconsciousness which obscures our outward life. It is the flame born out of the luminous Divine inhabitant of the Ignorance, grows in it till it is able to turn the being towards the Knowledge of Self and the Divine, towards the supreme Truth, the supreme Good, the Divine heights and largeness. Our true Soul is a pure power of light, love, joy, beauty and harmony. It is the individual Soul, the Chaitya Purusha, supporting Mind, Life and Body and standing behind the subtle mental, vital and physical being, watching and profiting by their development in us. This inmost Psychic entity puts forward a Psychic personality which flowers as the saint, the sage and the seer and it changes, grows and develops from life to life; for this is also the traveller from the birth to death and from death to birth and our nature parts are its manifold changing vesture.
Spiritual Education: The Spiritual education is the energising of the Spiritual sheath above the head by opening the Spiritual being and leading towards the discovery of a vast static and silent Self which we feel as our real basic existence, realise our extinction, a Nirvana both of our active Nature and of the sense of Self into a Reality that is indefinable and inexpressible and we realise that this Self is not only our Spiritual being but the true self of all others or cosmic Self. The Spiritual education throws one outside all creation, draws to live in infinite and eternal consciousness which is timeless and spaceless, meets the transcendent God beyond all forms.
Supramental Education: Supramental Education is at once the Knowledge of the One, the Knowledge of the Many and holding together of the Knowledge of the One Being and the Many Becoming. Subconscient Education: Subconscient education is the extension of Supramental education to alight the riches of the dark and obscure Subconscient Sheath either by descent of Supramental dynamism or by opening of the Subconscient Self where Divine is stationed in the middest of Ignorance. Inconscient Education: Inconscient Education begins by entering Inconscient sheath either through Supramental invasion or after the recovery of the Inconscient Self which rends the Night of Ignorance.
Learn French
The first support of learning French: "..but those who want to read me, well, let them learn French, it won't do them any harm!.." The Mother
The second support of learning French:"Sri Aurobindo used to say that Frenchifying the English form improved it, while on the contrary, anglicizing the French language diminished it. The French language is clearer. But it (French) is bit rigid, it needs little suppleness." The Mother
The third support of learning French: "French gives a precision to thought like no other language." The Mother
The fourth support of learning French: "But Sri Aurobindo always told me that French once translated makes good English, while English once translated makes poor French. Because there is a precision in the language that comes from the translation, but that does not exist in natural English." The Mother
The all orissa girls' meet
1) The First Proposal for the young aspirants of beauty: The Integral Education delivers this message that The Mother is the representative power of Truth, Shakti, and those who can open themselves sufficiently to this descending Truth or those who hold the Mother in their heart, their virgin stuff of mind, life and body are automatically protected. By equipping themselves with double power of Truth and Virginity, they are undoubtedly identified as the Mother's true devotees and the forerunners of a Supramental world. 2) The Second Proposal for young aspirants of sweet heart:This paper further proposes that their approach of the Divine from the beginning should be all-inclusive instead of exclusive. The all-inclusive embodied Mother who dwells in everybody's heart is also universal Mother pervading every thing and every being and all deities and all godheads and She is also the Transcendent Mother, the source and becoming of all this existence.
3) The Third Proposal for the young aspirant growing mind:This paper also proposes that the young mind must be aware of renunciation, tyaga, vairagya, effort, abhyasa, exclusive concentration, samyama, askesis, tapasya, consecration, atma-samarpana and movement of Consciousness as means of entering contact with the inexhaustible height, depth and wideness of The Mother's Consciousness. Or to become very close to the Divine Mother one must learn the lesson of constant self-offering to the Divine, movement of Consciousness in different planes and worlds, persistent rejection of Falsehood and acceptance of descending Truth and to keep mind, vital and body untouched from the influence of surrounding world and untransformed lower nature.
The Three Tasks of Integral Education:
1. The difficult task of Integral Education is discovery of Physical, Vital, Mental, Psychic, Spiritual, Universal, Supramental and Bliss Self.
2. The more difficult task of Integral Education is transformation of three Inconscient energies of tamas, rajas and sattwa and discovery of Subconscient and Inconscient Self..
3. The most difficult task of Integral Education is Subconscient transformation by Spirit travelling back and forward in Time and illumining all the dark Subconscient domains of this life and past lives in waking, non-waking, intense waking and intense non-waking Trance.
The emergence of integral personality
The Emergence of Surface Personality: Impersonality is the source of all personality. Surface personality is born by the pressure of the subtle mental being that secretly thinks and perceives in us, the subtle vital being that secretly feels and acts upon life through us, the subtle-physical being that secretly receives and responds to the contacts of things through our body and its organs and by the upthrow from the depth the surface personality is much exteriorized, distorted, mutilated and vulgarized. So the surface Personality is only a temporary mental, vital, physical formation in which powers, influences and motives are amalgamated. The Emergence of Physical Personality: Physical personality is concerned with birth, money getting, procreation of a family, satisfaction of common impulses, short lived desires, the maintenance of the life and the body and death of this mutable body. This tamasic personality is dominated by the physical mind which is full of dull inertia, obscure in its reception, unwilling to change, recalcitrant to pressure of Spiritual force, conservative and clings to fixed type of limited established knowledge. By the pressure of subliminal self he can arrive at the idea of a finer, more beautiful and perfect physical life and extend the same in the collective existence. The Emergence of Vital Personality: This surface vital personality is the dominance of the ignorant vital being which is the principal active source of all discord and disharmony, a cause of inner and outer perturbations of life, a mainspring of wrong-doing and evil. This rajasic personality is dominated by the vital mind and is of two kinds: (1) one kind is defensive with violence and passion, assertive of its mental individuality and all that is in agreement with it, preferred by its volition, adapted to its outlook, but aggressive against all that is contrary to its mental ego-structure or unacceptable to its personal intellectuality; (2) the other kind is enthusiastic for new things, passionate, insistent, impetuous, often mobile beyond measure, inconstant, governed in its idea not by truth and light but by the enthusiasm of intellectual battle, restless movement and ambitious adventure. By the pressure true vital being the outer life personality can overcome the vital ego and becomes the instrument of the Soul and can develop higher vital faculties of delight, love, aesthesis and beauty in the maintenance of whole life. The Emergence of Mental Personality: Mental personality is the form of our superficial or apparent surface self. It is divided into two parts, (1) its subjective experience of the ever-modified mental states of its personality and (2) its objective experience of the ever-changing environment which seems partly or wholly effects in building his mental personality. The Emergence of Subliminal Personality: Surface personality is small, ignorant, active, swayed by helpless thought waves and inrush of grief, joy and reactions of all kind; whereas subliminal personality acts from behind the surface, is vast, calm, equal, observing the surface perturbation with an immovable detachment or it may act on its agitation to pacify, quiet, enlarge and transform it.
The Emergence of Psychic Personality: When he awakes the knowledge of the Soul and feels the need to bring it to the front his communication with the surface improves which is a pure power of light, love and joy. Then he is able to exercise a strong control, react against the false mixture, becomes master of his life and action. The Emergence of Spiritual Personality: Beyond this Psychic personality he becomes impersonal Person and his nature and being identifies with the freedom of Sachchidananda and this Spiritual personality must go through extension of cosmic expression.
The First Resurgence of Study Circle Movement: Some developed devotees of Orissa have to transcend their earlier status of moderate Spirituality, leaning on shortcut, easy and comfortable method and resolve on themselves to do tapasya of its extreme kind in secrecy and silence and effect of their sadhana will directly influence the world atmosphere. "There must be, first, the effort towards at least an initial and enabling self-transcendence and contact with the Divine; next, the reception of that which transcends, that with which we have gained communion, into ourselves for the transformation of our whole conscious being; last, the utilisation of our transformed humanity as a divine centre in the world." CWSA/23/The Synthesis of Yoga-58
The Second resurgence of Study Circle Movement: They will put their effort to do The Mother's Work in conformity with Her requirement of entire knowledge on Sri Aurobindo in complete obedience to His law directed to perfect Her manifestation. They will also develop equal regard and reverence towards the law of the Soul, the law of the Collectivity and the law of the Divine. "In the end his (a Sadhaka of integral Yoga) own will and force become one with the higher Power; he merges them in the divine Will and its transcendent and universal Force. He finds it thenceforward presiding over the necessary transformation of his mental, vital and physical being with an impartial wisdom and provident effectivity of which the eager and interested ego is not capable. It is when this identification and this self-merging are complete that the divine centre in the world is ready." CWSA-23/The Synthesis of Yoga-59
The Third Resurgence of Study Circle Movement: Those who are interested to collaborate in Her Divine manifestation they have to combine strongly three elements, the Divine, Buddha, the Law, Dharma and fellowship of those in whom the Law is manifested, Sangha; in the collective living the Divine represents the force of unity, Dharma represents the force of harmony and Sangha represents the force of mutuality.
The Fourth Resurgence of Study Circle Movement: The study circle is a small collective gathering to resolve the problem of mutuality of a Sangha, through intervention of the Divine, the force of unity and Dharma, the force of harmony; it is like a temple where one can receive Divine's dynamic touch and harmonise his problems; a true study circle can transform into Divine Centre of the world, a powerful channel to receive and transmit the Divine Grace, where the whole of humanity will be benefited as a Sangha.
The Fifth Resurgence of Study Circle Movement: So, an ideal study circle is identified as illuminating means and sacred collective group for the Divine's manifestation. It is a gathering together of wise devotees complemented by a liberated individual Soul at its centre. His longing to become the leader, teacher and path finder of the limited human Consciousness must be subordinate of his appetite to become the follower of Their limitless Consciousness. His act of giving knowledge to the collective group must be subordinate of his act of self-offering, austerity, service offered to the Divine and act of reception of Divine knowledge from within and above. The Shastra or written truth of integral Yoga carries Their living Divine Presence and can serve as a means, outer aid and guiding principle to call down the Divine Grace and the importance of its practice multiplies infinitely when its touch and dominant influence gives birth to realised Souls and their establishment in higher Consciousness. The Gita authorises 'the men of knowledge who have seen the true principle of things' can only deliver knowledge to the seekers whereas integral Yoga further recognises that 'Spiritual Influence' is the more powerful instrument than teaching through instructions and examples.
The vision of future orissa
The first Approach: Orissa is to be liberated from the limiting influence of later Vedantic Ascetics with excessive importance on the supernormal experience of Samadhi, Vaishnava Bhakti Movement with their theory of inaction and traditional Tantric misuse of Spiritual Powers, siddhis, directed either to hurt others or to gain some ambitious objective.
The second Approach: A living of man in the static Divine union and a corresponding descent of dynamic Divine Shakti into humanity can recompense a large amount of discord in collective living and if these two movements are established then one can heal the opposition between Spiritual life and the World. A successful collective living asks strong contact with the Divine, durable adherence to the law of inner Truth and to wage a constant war against outer falsehood, adharma.
The third Approach: "There lies before him1 the possibility of a new birth2; there can be an ascent into a higher and wider plane of being and its descent to transform his members. An enlarged and illumined consciousness is possible that shall make of him a liberated spirit and a perfected force — and, if spread beyond the individual 3, it might even constitute a divine humanity or else a new, a supramental and therefore a superhuman race." CWSA/23//The Synthesis of Yoga-90. (1: a Sadhaka of integral Yoga, 2: of Divine Centre, 3: through universalisation of consciousness)
The fourth Approach: The Mother's future ceaseless work in Orissa is a radical shift of Consciousness from mutilated mental plane to unmutilated Supramental plane and its foundation is secured from a 'virgin stuff of mind and matter' in which a movement towards complete Spiritual transformation will be natural and spontaneous.
The Central Truth of Integral Education
Integral Concentration, samjnana, is identified as the central Truth of Integral Education.

Vinny's Clam Bar - Tinley Park
Vinny's Clam Bar goes for the vibe of an old-timey clam shack, only one with excellent seafood all around and a very good bar. Vinnie's Clam Bar is the place to go if you're fond of fish and seafood -- particularly crustaceans like clams, oysters, lobster and shrimp -- served in a casual atmosphere.
"We are thrilled to see Vinny's Clam Bar come to life in the Chicago area," says CEO and Founder Scott Harris. "Our team has been developing this unique restaurant for quite a while, and the initial reactions from our customers and our staff is amazing to see. When you join us at one of our 26 restaurants, you're part of our family for the night. Come check us out in Tinley Park!"
Vinny's Clam Bar is the place to go when what you want to eat, more than anything else, is fantastic seafood, and you'll find a lot of that at Vinny's. Let's start with the eponymous clams: you can have these forever popular bivalves in chowder and linguini, done up as clams casino and clams vinho verde. Clams, of course, make an appearance on the raw platters, alongside oysters, lobster, shrimp and Sicilian seafood salad. There's also some inviting fish, like branzino -- one of the most popular fish on contemporary menus -- and even humble fish and chips. If you're in the mood for pasta, there's Dana's Bolognese with spaghetti and Linguini Tutto Mare with mountains of perfectly prepared noodles and shrimp, scallops, clams, and other gifts of the sea.
There are also some Italian classics, like grilled pizzas, red or white, fried calamari and tomato bread.
To pair with all this deliciousness, there's a very good wine list, with very reasonable prices.
Desserts are sometimes an afterthought...but not at Vinny's. We recommend the Limoncello tiramisu (with lemon curd and mascarpone custard) and/or cannoli cake for the table.

MH17 relatives' lawyers are 'being intimidated by Russia', NCTV says
Lawyers representing the relatives of people who died in the MH17 disaster are being intimidated and the Dutch counter terrorism agency NCTV has offered them extra security, broadcaster RTL Nieuws said on Thursday.
Several lawyers have been followed home and this may be connected to the fact that relatives were allowed to speak in court during last month's hearings, RTL said. This means the lawyers have had a more prominent role in the case than usual.
The trial resumed in September and for three weeks relatives were able to outline to judges what the tragedy of July 2014 had meant to them.
They were supported in this by a group of eight lawyers who have been given access to all the files held by the public prosecution department.
The lawyers were invited to attend a briefing by the NCTV on September 22, during which NCTV staff said that Russia had being trying to intimidate them and hinder them in their work, RTL reported.
The agency said it does not expect that any physical violence would be used against the lawyers, all of whom declined to be interviewed for the RTL article.
Leiden University researcher Ben de Jong, who specialises in Russian security issues, said the modus operandi is typical. 'If you see a group as an enemy, because they say negative things about Russia in public or in the media, then you have to do something about it,' he said. 'So you intimidate people and try to make them feel insecure in retaliation.'
Three Russians and one Ukrainian have been charged with 298 counts of murder for supplying the Buk missile which the prosecution service says was fired at the Boeing 777. The passenger airliner was shot down over eastern Ukraine en route to Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam. Russia denies any involvement.

Libya: Clash with IS Fighters Leaves 34 Pro-GNA Dead
Tuesday clashes between the Islamic State group militants and the militias loyal to the Government of National Accord in Sirte left 34 pro-GNA killed, forces operations-room told media.
Tuesday confrontation was the bloodiest for GNA forces, which have been pushing into the coastal city to dislodge the jihadists who have seized Muammar Gaddafi's home last year in June and turned it into their nerve center in North Africa.
Military source speaking from the Misrata operations-room told the media that death toll grew from 18 to 34 while 100 have been wounded in the clash.
GNA loyalists have since May launched military operations to retake the coastal city. Forces with aircrafts and tanks are pounding militants' positions.
IS militants, in their fighting back, are using suicide attacks, snipers and explosives. The military says the militants have barricaded themselves in buildings and in some pockets of the city.
Since the beginning of the assault, more than 200 pro-GNA fighters have been reported dead and around 500 wounded. Death toll on the side of the jihadists has been difficult to verify.
The terrorist group has fed on the power vacuum which occurred in the wake of the fall and death of former ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 in a NATO-backed revolution. The group has been able to conquer vast swathes of the country and tried to seize Libya's oil fields.
In a bid to restore stability in the North African country, the UN last year in December rallied the rival brothers to sign a political agreement known as Libyan Political Agreement, which gave birth to the GNA led by Prime Minister-designate Faiez Serraj. But rivalries are still hampering the GNA's work.


text: NEW YORK: American billionaire mortgage lender Mat Ishbia has agreed to purchase the Phoenix Suns and Women's NBA team Phoenix Mercury for a record $4 billion, the two parties confirmed on late Tuesday nights . "Mat is the right leader to build on franchise legacies of winning and community support and shepherd the Suns and Mercury into the next era," current owner Robert Sarver said in the joint statement. "As a former collegiate basketball player and national champion, Mat has exactly the right spirit, commitment and resources to pursue championships," added Sarver, who had been under pressure to sell the teams. The deal, which will see Ishbia and his brother Justin take majority ownership, requires league approval to be fully completed. "This is a dream come true for my entire family including my parents, my three children, and my brother Justin, who will be making a significant investment with me and bring his incredible business acumen and shared passion for basketball," said Ishbia. "I appreciate Robert Sarver's time and support throughout the process. We are so honored to be, with approval by the NBA, the next stewards of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury." Magic Johnson had earlier given his support to the takeover by a fellow former Michigan State basketball player who was part of the school's 2000 US championship squad. "I had a great call with fellow Spartan Mat Ishbia congratulating him on his purchase of the Phoenix Suns," Johnson tweeted. "He's going to do great things not only for the Suns organization, but for the entire league. All of the other 29 NBA teams better watch out because Mat's a winner!" Sarver said last September he would sell the team after being banned by the NBA for a year and fined $10 million for racist and misogynist remarks and workplace bullying. NBA stars such as LeBron James and Chris Paul declared the penalties too light and major sponsors said they would not renew deals with the Suns and Mercury if Sarver remained involved. "In our current unforgiving climate, it has become painfully clear… whatever good I have done, or could still do, is outweighed by things I have said in the past," Sarver said three months ago. NBA commissioner Adam Silver had called the sale plan "the right next step for the organization and community." Ishbia will need to undergo a background check and be approved in a vote of club owners but those are seen as formalities. The $4 billion deal escalates the values for NBA clubs, which leaped with sales of the Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion in 2014, the Houston Rockets for $2.2 billion in 2017 and the Brooklyn Nets for $2.35 billion in 2019. Two months ago, Forbes magazine rated the Suns' value at $2.7 billion, 13th overall among the NBA's 30 clubs. Reigning champion Golden State led that list at $7 billion. The sale also would give the Mercury a new owner when US star Brittney Griner returns next season after being held in a Russian prison for 10 months this year on drug charges before a prisoner exchange earlier this month. Suns fans have longed for an NBA crown in vain since the franchise debuted in the 1968-69 campaign. The Suns reached the 1976 NBA Finals but lost to Boston, fell to the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls in the 1993 NBA Finals and were beaten by the Milwaukee Bucks in last year's NBA Finals.

A. Introduction to Crystal Field Theory
- Page ID
- 59603
A note from Dr. Haas: Now we're getting into the grown-up bonding models! First we will learn about Crystal Field Theory (CFT), which is an intermediate theory on your way to the ultimate inorganic bonding theory, Ligand Field Theory (LFT). Please read the content below carefully. The video below may help you understand this reading.
- To understand how crystal field theory explains the electronic structures and colors of metal complexes.
One of the most striking characteristics of transition-metal complexes is the wide range of colors they exhibit. In this section, we describe crystal field theory (CFT), a bonding model that explains many important properties of transition-metal complexes, including their colors, magnetism, structures, stability, and reactivity. The central assumption of CFT is that metal–ligand interactions are purely electrostatic in nature. Even though this assumption is clearly not valid for many complexes, such as those that contain neutral ligands like CO, CFT enables chemists to explain many of the properties of transition-metal complexes with a reasonable degree of accuracy. The Learning Objective of this Module is to understand how crystal field theory explains the electronic structures and colors of metal complexes.
d-Orbital Splittings
CFT focuses on the interaction of the five (n − 1)d orbitals with ligands arranged in a regular array around a transition-metal ion. We will focus on the application of CFT to octahedral complexes, which are by far the most common and the easiest to visualize. Other common structures, such as square planar complexes, can be treated as a distortion of the octahedral model. According to CFT, an octahedral metal complex forms because of the electrostatic interaction of a positively charged metal ion with six negatively charged ligands or with the negative ends of dipoles associated with the six ligands. In addition, the ligands interact with one other electrostatically. As you learned in our discussion of the valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model, the lowest-energy arrangement of six identical negative charges is an octahedron, which minimizes repulsive interactions between the ligands.
We begin by considering how the energies of the d orbitals of a transition-metal ion are affected by an octahedral arrangement of six negative charges. Recall that the five d orbitals are initially degenerate (have the same energy). If we distribute six negative charges uniformly over the surface of a sphere, the d orbitals remain degenerate, but their energy will be higher due to repulsive electrostatic interactions between the spherical shell of negative charge and electrons in the d orbitals (part (a) in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). Placing the six negative charges at the vertices of an octahedron does not change the average energy of the d orbitals, but it does remove their degeneracy: the five d orbitals split into two groups whose energies depend on their orientations. As shown in part (b) in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\), the dz2 and dx2−y2 orbitals point directly at the six negative charges located on the x, y, and z axes. Consequently, the energy of an electron in these two orbitals (collectively labeled the eg orbitals) will be greater than it will be for a spherical distribution of negative charge because of increased electrostatic repulsions. In contrast, the other three d orbitals (dxy, dxz, and dyz, collectively called the t2g orbitals) are all oriented at a 45° angle to the coordinate axes, so they point between the six negative charges. The energy of an electron in any of these three orbitals is lower than the energy for a spherical distribution of negative charge.
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): An Octahedral Arrangement of Six Negative Charges around a Metal Ion Causes the Five d Orbitals to Split into Two Sets with Different Energies. (a) Distributing a charge of −6 uniformly over a spherical surface surrounding a metal ion causes the energy of all five d orbitals to increase due to electrostatic repulsions, but the five d orbitals remain degenerate. Placing a charge of −1 at each vertex of an octahedron causes the d orbitals to split into two groups with different energies: the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals increase in energy, while the, dxy, dxz, and dyz orbitals decrease in energy. The average energy of the five d orbitals is the same as for a spherical distribution of a −6 charge, however. Attractive electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged ligands and the positively charged metal ion (far right) cause all five d orbitals to decrease in energy but does not affect the splittings of the orbitals. (b) The two eg orbitals (left) point directly at the six negatively charged ligands, which increases their energy compared with a spherical distribution of negative charge. In contrast, the three t2g orbitals (right) point between the negatively charged ligands, which decreases their energy compared with a spherical distribution of charge.
The difference in energy between the two sets of d orbitals is called the crystal field splitting energy (Δo), where the subscript o stands for octahedral. As we shall see, the magnitude of the splitting depends on the charge on the metal ion, the position of the metal in the periodic table, and the nature of the ligands. (Crystal field splitting energy also applies to tetrahedral complexes: Δt.) It is important to note that the splitting of the d orbitals in a crystal field does not change the total energy of the five d orbitals: the two eg orbitals increase in energy by 0.6Δo, whereas the three t2g orbitals decrease in energy by 0.4Δo. Thus the total change in energy is 2(0.6Δo) + 3(−0.4Δo) = 0.
Crystal field splitting does not change the total energy of the d orbitals.
Thus far, we have considered only the effect of repulsive electrostatic interactions between electrons in the d orbitals and the six negatively charged ligands, which increases the total energy of the system and splits the d orbitals. Interactions between the positively charged metal ion and the ligands results in a net stabilization of the system, which decreases the energy of all five d orbitals without affecting their splitting (as shown at the far right in part (a) in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).
Electronic Structures of Octahedral Metal Complexes
We can use the d-orbital energy-level diagram in Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): to predict electronic structures and some of the properties of transition-metal complexes. We start with the Ti3+ ion, which contains a single d electron, and proceed across the first row of the transition metals by adding a single electron at a time. We place additional electrons in the lowest-energy orbital available, while keeping their spins parallel as required by Hund's rule. As shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\), for d1–d3 systems—such as [Ti(H2O)6]3+, [V(H2O)6]3+, and [Cr(H2O)6]3+, respectively—the electrons successively occupy the three degenerate t2g orbitals with their spins parallel, giving one, two, and three unpaired electrons, respectively. We can summarize this for the complex [Cr(H2O)6]3+, for example, by saying that the chromium ion has a d3 electron configuration or, more succinctly, Cr3+ is a d3 ion.
Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\): The Possible Electron Configurations for Octahedral dn Transition-Metal Complexes (n = 1–10). Two different configurations are possible for octahedral complexes of metals with d4, d5, d6, and d7 configurations; the magnitude of Δo determines which configuration is observed.
When we reach the d4 configuration, there are two possible choices for the fourth electron: it can occupy either one of the empty eg orbitals or one of the singly occupied t2g orbitals. Recall that placing an electron in an already occupied orbital results in electrostatic repulsions that increase the energy of the system; this increase in energy is called the spin-pairing energy (P). If Δo is less than P, then the lowest-energy arrangement has the fourth electron in one of the empty eg orbitals. Because this arrangement results in four unpaired electrons, it is called a high-spin configuration, and a complex with this electron configuration, such as the [Cr(H2O)6]2+ ion, is called a high-spin complex. Conversely, if Δo is greater than P, then the lowest-energy arrangement has the fourth electron in one of the occupied t2g orbitals. Because this arrangement results in only two unpaired electrons, it is called a low-spin configuration, and a complex with this electron configuration, such as the [Mn(CN)6]3− ion, is called a low-spin complex. Similarly, metal ions with the d5, d6, or d7 electron configurations can be either high spin or low spin, depending on the magnitude of Δo.
In contrast, only one arrangement of d electrons is possible for metal ions with d8–d10 electron configurations. For example, the [Ni(H2O)6]2+ ion is d8 with two unpaired electrons, the [Cu(H2O)6]2+ ion is d9 with one unpaired electron, and the [Zn(H2O)6]2+ ion is d10 with no unpaired electrons.
If Δo is less than the spin-pairing energy, a high-spin configuration results. Conversely, if Δo is greater, a low-spin configuration forms.
Factors That Affect the Magnitude of Δo
The magnitude of Δo dictates whether a complex with four, five, six, or seven d electrons is high spin or low spin, which affects its magnetic properties, structure, and reactivity. Large values of Δo (i.e., Δo > P) yield a low-spin complex, whereas small values of Δo (i.e., Δo < P) produce a high-spin complex. As we noted, the magnitude of Δo depends on three factors: the charge on the metal ion, the principal quantum number of the metal (and thus its location in the periodic table), and the nature of the ligand. Values of Δo for some representative transition-metal complexes are given in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\).

Charge on the Metal Ion
Increasing the charge on a metal ion has two effects: the radius of the metal ion decreases, and negatively charged ligands are more strongly attracted to it. Both factors decrease the metal–ligand distance, which in turn causes the negatively charged ligands to interact more strongly with the d orbitals. Consequently, the magnitude of Δo increases as the charge on the metal ion increases. Typically, Δo for a tripositive ion is about 50% greater than for the dipositive ion of the same metal; for example, for [V(H2O)6]2+, Δo = 11,800 cm−1; for [V(H2O)6]3+, Δo = 17,850 cm−1.
Principal Quantum Number of the Metal
For a series of complexes of metals from the same group in the periodic table with the same charge and the same ligands, the magnitude of Δo increases with increasing principal quantum number: Δo (3d) < Δo (4d) < Δo (5d). The data for hexaammine complexes of the trivalent Group 9 metals illustrate this point:
The increase in Δo with increasing principal quantum number is due to the larger radius of valence orbitals down a column. In addition, repulsive ligand–ligand interactions are most important for smaller metal ions. Relatively speaking, this results in shorter M–L distances and stronger d orbital–ligand interactions.
The Nature of the Ligands
Experimentally, it is found that the Δo observed for a series of complexes of the same metal ion depends strongly on the nature of the ligands. For a series of chemically similar ligands, the magnitude of Δo decreases as the size of the donor atom increases. For example, Δo values for halide complexes generally decrease in the order F− > Cl− > Br− > I− because smaller, more localized charges, such as we see for F−, interact more strongly with the d orbitals of the metal ion. In addition, a small neutral ligand with a highly localized lone pair, such as NH3, results in significantly larger Δo values than might be expected. Because the lone pair points directly at the metal ion, the electron density along the M–L axis is greater than for a spherical anion such as F−. The experimentally observed order of the crystal field splitting energies produced by different ligands is called the spectrochemical series, shown here in order of decreasing Δo:
The values of Δo listed in Table \(\PageIndex{1}\) illustrate the effects of the charge on the metal ion, the principal quantum number of the metal, and the nature of the ligand.
The largest Δos are found in complexes of metal ions from the third row of the transition metals with charges of at least +3 and ligands with localized lone pairs of electrons.
Colors of Transition-Metal Complexes
The striking colors exhibited by transition-metal complexes are caused by excitation of an electron from a lower-energy d orbital to a higher-energy d orbital, which is called a d–d transition (Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\)). For a photon to effect such a transition, its energy must be equal to the difference in energy between the two d orbitals, which depends on the magnitude of Δo.
Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) A d–d Transition. In a d–d transition, an electron in one of the t2g orbitals of an octahedral complex such as the [Cr(H2O)6]3+ ion absorbs a photon of light with energy equal to Δo, which causes the electron to move to an empty or singly occupied eg orbital.
Recall that the color we observe when we look at an object or a compound is due to light that is transmitted or reflected, not light that is absorbed, and that reflected or transmitted light is complementary in color to the light that is absorbed. Thus a green compound absorbs light in the red portion of the visible spectrum and vice versa, as indicated by the color wheel. Because the energy of a photon of light is inversely proportional to its wavelength, the color of a complex depends on the magnitude of Δo, which depends on the structure of the complex. For example, the complex [Cr(NH3)6]3+ has strong-field ligands and a relatively large Δo. Consequently, it absorbs relatively high-energy photons, corresponding to blue-violet light, which gives it a yellow color. A related complex with weak-field ligands, the [Cr(H2O)6]3+ ion, absorbs lower-energy photons corresponding to the yellow-green portion of the visible spectrum, giving it a deep violet color.
We can now understand why emeralds and rubies have such different colors, even though both contain Cr3+ in an octahedral environment provided by six oxide ions. Although the chemical identity of the six ligands is the same in both cases, the Cr–O distances are different because the compositions of the host lattices are different (Al2O3 in rubies and Be3Al2Si6O18 in emeralds). In ruby, the Cr–O distances are relatively short because of the constraints of the host lattice, which increases the d orbital–ligand interactions and makes Δo relatively large. Consequently, rubies absorb green light and the transmitted or reflected light is red, which gives the gem its characteristic color. In emerald, the Cr–O distances are longer due to relatively large [Si6O18]12− silicate rings; this results in decreased d orbital–ligand interactions and a smaller Δo. Consequently, emeralds absorb light of a longer wavelength (red), which gives the gem its characteristic green color. It is clear that the environment of the transition-metal ion, which is determined by the host lattice, dramatically affects the spectroscopic properties of a metal ion.
Gem-quality crystals of ruby and emerald. The colors of both minerals are due to the presence of small amounts of Cr3+ impurities in octahedral sites in an otherwise colorless metal oxide lattice.

Have you been in a situation and feel like you have been through it before?
Many people go through a situation and feel that they have gone through the same situation before, is this true! Or is it just a dream?! The phenomenon of déjà vu is felt by a large number of people
What is the deja vu phenomenon?
It is a phenomenon that occurs to many people, where they feel that they have gone through situations before or a feeling before, and this word is known in French origin as Déjà vu, which means the illusion of anticipating the vision, so your mind feels that this situation is familiar to you.
The prevalence of deja vu
There are no studies showing the prevalence of deja vu among people, which is not a common phenomenon among people, and if you suspect that you have this phenomenon, this means that you need to observe it from two weeks to several months if it occurs frequently.
Young people are one of the groups that notices the most deja vu phenomenon, and it occurs for the first time at the age of 6 years up to the age of ten, and increases with time from the age of 20 to 25 years.
Explanation of the deja vu phenomenon
There is no real reason that explains one hundred percent what are the reasons behind the phenomenon of deja vu, and there is no study that explains the validity of this topic, but it is a metaphysical science that can be guessed and there is no study to prove it, but psychologists have reached several results and reasons:
A person goes through a similar situation, the memory recalls this situation and the person feels that he has gone through it before, the brain does not erase any of the memories stored inside it, and therefore events are transferred from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind, which calls for these situations even after the passage of years.
The second reason is the result of stimuli and feelings that help to store some details and help to recall details in the past, due to the very fast visual cortex, in sending signals to the memory center, which leads to the feeling that this moment is real.
As for the third conclusion, it was the cause of an increase in one of the neurotransmitters present in the cells of the temporal lobe of the brain (dopamine), and scientists attributed this defect to the discharge of electrical charges in the brain, and doctors link it to a type of temporal epilepsy of the brain, and this type of epilepsy is known as a defect in neurotransmitters and the nervous system. .
Deja vu treatment
A large number of doctors agree that déjà vu is not a disease but a phenomenon, but others work to help the person with treatment from a medical point of view, which is an examination of the excess electrical activity in the temporal lobe of the brain, and if it is confirmed that there is an increase, the patient is given a type of treatment for a period of 6 months.

Taking up ice hockey as a German is not a thing that a lot of Germans would do. But Leon Draisaitl isn't like the rest of them. This professional ice hockey player who plays for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL) was born on the 27th of October 1995 in Cologne, Germany. Although he was interested in football as a child, it was ice hockey that really seized his interest. He began playing with the Kölner Haie under-16 team and the Adler Mannheim under-18 team, and even the Ravensburg Towerstars. He has also played for Jungadler Mannheim before embarking on his career.
Drafted with the third overall pick by the Oilers in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, he has been a key part of the Oilers' offence ever since he started playing for them. A three-time All-Star, he is considered one of the top young forwards in the NHL, and he has a bright future ahead of him. This young man represented Germany at the 2016 World Cup in Toronto and won the silver medal with them.
Leon Draisaitl Girlfriend
Who knew that playing ice hockey would land you one of the prettiest girls on the planet? Celeste Penelope Desjardins met the young man for the first time in 2018. She's from Canada and had a natural love for the sport. An exotic European who was setting the rink on fire was something she had just ordered.
Who is Leon Draisaitl currently dating?
Celeste and Leon have been deeply in love. The two of them are inseparable as well. Although Celeste has a busy life as a working woman, she knows how to keep her man happy. Leon gets all the attention he needs from her. He'd be completely mad to have another one on the side.
Family: Parents, Siblings & Children
Peter and Sandra Draisaitl are the parents of our player. His dad was into the sport big time. Peter, a former professional ice hockey centre, has represented both West Germany and Germany in the sport. Our player took a natural liking to the sport, thanks to his father. It is unclear what his mum did for a living, though. Leon also has a sister named Kim. Although he's been with Celeste, he doesn't have any kids with her. The couple is waiting to get married before having any children.
Leon Draisaitl Total Prize Money & Net Worth
As someone who has already earned over $53.75 million from representing the Oilers, this young German's net worth stands at an estimated $40 Million, approximately.
How much does Leon Draisaitl earn per year?
The massive contract he signed with the Oilers will see him make about $11.3 million a year. We think he's due for a contract extension, and this time it's going to be a lot bigger. He's a Puma athlete and is known to work with other brands if the right opportunity presents itself. The man is represented by Octagon, and we've got to say that they've done a good job for their client.
Unknown facts about Leon Draisaitl
- Did you know that his father used to coach the Ravensburg Towerstars, the team he represented as a junior?
- Leon is a big dog lover and has a pooch named Brownie.
- This man won the German Sportsman of the Year award in 2020.
- He also won the Hart Memorial Trophy, the Ted Lindsay Award, and the Art Ross Trophy in 2020.

Making Change Great
By: Lynda Dyer
Making Change usually means to alter, convert, diversify, modify, reform, remodel, reorganize, restyle, shift, transform, vary, and many other words. They all refer to you taking some sort of action. What about when change is forced on us? How do we respond? Why could it be important? How many of us dive back into the comfort zone or victim zone of our life and how many of us look for opportunities that will excite us through this CHANGE? In quantum physics they associate change with taking action. So if you are great at taking action then you may find you are also great at making change.
We have all recently been faced with massive change. How did we cope? What did we do? Was it a positive experience or a negative one? Why? Change in life is inevitable. It's not change that bothers us the most. It's more about our perception of the change experience and what we decided to do about it.
Yes I said DECIDED. You see there is always a four step process in taking action toward making any change in your life;
EXPECT a NEW RESULT
When change happens, we can embrace it, fight it, or do nothing.
By embracing and thus accepting the change we may like to ask ourselves, "How can I make Life/Business Happen in this time of Change"? We DECIDE to put our Big Girl Undies on and Look for the door that just opened and focus on that door.
By Fighting Change we may end up becoming a victim of it.
By Doing Nothing we may also become a victim of the change and lose our personal power through BLAMING the change for our downfall. When we blame we hand over our Personal Power. Now the CHANGE has our power. Without Personal Power we may become one of the followers rather than an influential Leader of our family or business.
So many people found this recent Global Pandemic very tough going. They became anxious, depressed, sad, less than, and thus found it hard to cope from day to day. Call centres experienced a 75% increase in callers looking for support because this change was something they found difficult to cope with.
Others found it an exciting time to take a new path, and choose to take whatever action was required to go down that new path accelerating their business to great heights. Some people learnt new online skills, became re-educated after being retrenched, changed their whole career, re-thought the way they run the family or run their business. Some dad's embraced being a stay at home dad while mum's found more work and vice versa.
As I said earlier, People who are generally good at taking action tend to be good at Doing and Changing
People who are NOT generally good at changing something tend to not want to take action.
So changing you and what you do just needs to be in small steps. If you were asked to stand in front of a mirror, what do you like about you? What would you like to change? Write them down. NOW only take TWO of those things you would like to change and work on them for 21 days until they become your new habit. I started with growing my fingernails. I then moved on to learning how to RESPOND rather than REACT. My son loved that one lol!!!
Setting a goal to change takes you to a whole new level of awareness, where there could be so much more for you to experience.Change becomes exhilarating when you give it a go.
Your ATTITUDE toward CHANGE will be your APTITUDE to embrace it or not.

BRAVE Project
Advanced bioengineering to develop cardiac tissue and apply it to cardiotoxicity study and detection
The BIOHEART project faces the challenge of advancing in the development of 3D printing technology and biomaterials that allow obtaining human cardiac tissue in the laboratory, from mini-hearts to complete organs, as well as making them valuable as an effective and novel platform for the early detection of cardiotoxicity.
This is one of the Strategic R&D Projects 2022 of the Government of Navarra. It is made up of a multidisciplinary consortium that brings together the experience of the reference research organizations in Navarra (Cima University of Navarra, Navarrabiomed, and AIN), actors from the agri-food sector (Los Alecos), and industry (Nadetech), together with the translational clinical capacity of the two most important hospitals in the region (University Hospital of Navarra and Clínica Universidad de Navarra). Finally, ADItech participates in the project to include the gender dimension in research and thus contribute to its scientific excellence.
This way, BIOHEART seeks to bring together cutting-edge technology in areas such as stem cells, interspecies chimeras, 3D printing, and tissue biofabrication. The integration of different agents essential for its development is necessary to achieve its goal.
The previous teamwork experience of most of the institutions participating in the consortium guarantees the synchronization and synergy of their activities.

Chatel is located in the Abondance valley, and is a traditional farming village. It produces the fabulous French cheese, Abondance AOP. Which is a hard cheese, tasting very much like the fresh pastures, where the cows graze from when it is not winter. Definitely worth a try when you visit.
Chatel is still a relatively hidden gem in the French alps.
There are 4 main areas to explore the 130 kilometres of slopes that Chatel has to offer, all lift connected:
Plus, there's another 520 kilometres of slopes linked to Chatel in the Portes du Soliel, which spans France and Switzerland!
Chatel has excellent snow conditions, specially in comparison to resorts at a similar altitude. In a typical season the lifts open early in December and close almost at the end of April. The reputation of Chatel as a snow sure resort keeps growing and growing for people who visit, even from neighbouring resorts.
The Smooth Park is located in Super Chatel and has super flowy variety of lines. Enjoy everything, from boxes, to rails to jumps on a top to bottom descent for every snowboarder. Plus, there's also a snowboard cross course at the side for speedsters!
It's also only a 2 lift journey to Avoriaz, where you will find the Burton Stash, a terrain park with natural jibbing elements, plus and other fun snow parks.
Depending on what you want from the evening and night, there is plenty for everyone.
This map shows our home office location.
Our meeting point is in the Pre la Joux area, at the very top of the car park, next to the map with time and temperature.

Why did you start playing the recorder?
My parents were both musical (they actually met in a Brass and Reed band!) and wanted my sisters and I to enjoy a musical education from a young age. The recorder is always a good way in to the music world, isn't it? Little did I (or my parents) know that I would end up playing it forever!!!
How often do you play?
Lots of the time… especially with my recorder friends from Palisander (our recorder quartet) We meet at least once a week. Friday is Palisander day 🙂
Can you share a favourite video or song with us?
I'm really enjoying listening to this music at the moment. The Liberty Bell March reminds me of my routes back in Ireland playing with my family in a Brass and Reed band on my clarinet. I can't help, but smile and move when I hear it 🙂 The music starts at 48 second in. Wait until you hear the trombones!!
How could I get started playing the recorder?
The recorder is so great because it is so easily accessible. You can buy a good one for not too much money and there are lots of great tuition books out there. Lots of useful videos on Youtube , although you can't beat a real-life teacher!
What is your favourite sound to make?
I really enjoy making funky sound effects on my recorders. Humming into the recorder while I also play it is always a fun one to do. It creates a kind of buzzy sound!
What is your favourite music to play?
I LOVE the sound of recorders playing together. So anything at all where this sound world is encapsulated 🙂 My favourite piece to play with Palisander at the moment is Bach's Tocatta and Fugue (originally for organ). With four recorders playing together, it really still sounds like an organ!

Saudi Arabia to send its 1st female astronaut to space this year
Tags: Science and Technology International News
Saudi Arabia's first female astronaut is set to go into space this year, in what is seen as a move to reform Saudi Arabia's ultra-conservative image.
An overview of the news
Saudi female astronaut Rayna Barnawi will join Saudi Ali Al-Qarni on a 10-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this year.
Barnawi and al-Karni will fly to the ISS aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft as part of a mission by American privately funded space infrastructure developer private space company Axiom Space .
The Ax-2 will be launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, America.
Another fellow Emirati, Sultan Al-Neyadi will also visit the space station at the end of February 2023.
Axiom Space launched its first private astronaut mission to the ISS in April 2022, with four private astronauts spending 17 days in space orbit.
In 2019, Saudi Arabia's neighbouring United Arab Emirates became the first Arab country to send a citizen into space. Astronaut Hazza al-Mansoori spent eight days on the ISS.
In 1985, Saudi royal prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz participated in a US-organised space mission, becoming the first Arab Muslim to travel in space.

Though Jayson Blair lost his job when he resigned from The New York Times on May 1, his now infamous body of work for the paper will do more to hurt The Times than to hurt himself.
As Blair uses the spotlight to negotiate book and movie deals, the paper is taking much of the heat. Now The Times' status as one of the nation's most trusted papers is being questioned.
The New York Times' committment to accuracy is still strong. The Blair scandal seems to be evidence suggesting only a lack of communication between editors at The Times — it doesn't suggest disregard for accuracy.
Some of his mistakes were difficult to find. In a piece on Pfc. Jessica Lynch, he described tobacco fields and cattle visible from her family's front porch: Neither were there. Of course, the family didn't call to point out the error, and few editors would place phone calls asking about cattle.
Other mistakes — more serious ones — sprang from poor communication among editors.
Blair, 27, changed positions frequently, serving under many editors.
The problem: When one editor would hone in on Blair's falsehoods, others were not told.
When Blair became a nation reporter in October, it took till January for someone to reveal Blair's penchant for falsehood to Jim Roberts, nation editor for The Times. Roberts told The Times that, afterward, he simply forgot to tell those under him.
Nick Fox, who oversaw coverage of the D.C. Sniper murders, also knew none of Blair's inaccuracy track record, which became longer as he wrote false reports on those events.
Since October, 36 of Blair's 73 stories were dubbed as accurate by a Times investigative committee. They've also found several inaccurate articles over his four-year career at The Times.
Blair's mistakes are unforgivable, but those made by editors at The Times are not.
At such a large paper– with 375 reporters — communication is difficult. The Times recognized the problem in their 14,000-word exposé on Blair.
Not only have they recognized the problem, they are also working to ensure it won't happen again. According to reports on cnn.com, the paper is investigating the work of several other reporters. Times Spokesperson Catherine Mathis said what they have gathered on other reporters has not warranted action, according to the Web site.
Though The Times let lies slip, they made mistakes they intend to fix. They didn't lie. Blair lied. Now he's gone. And The Times isn't tolerating others like him — they still deserve their reputable reputation.

Albatross eggs missing from Taiaroa Head colony
Archived content: This media release was accurate on the date of publication.
Four toroa/northern royal albatross eggs are missing from the colony at Taiaroa Head/Pukekura, near Dunedin.Date: 14 November 2022
The eggs were found to be missing on Thursday morning during routine checks.
DOC Compliance officers and police are investigating, with support from the Royal Albatross Centre and mana whenua.
DOC Coastal Otago Operations Manager Annie Wallace says this is a very unusual event.
"The colony has been managed and monitored for years, and it's strange for eggs to disappear without a trace."
"It's still unclear what has happened, and we are gathering security camera footage and talking to people who may have relevant information. However, it's thought the eggs may have been taken as there are no signs they were eaten by predators."
Annie Wallace says toroa are nationally vulnerable and threatened by climate change, fishing practices, plastic pollution, and habitat loss. They also reproduce slowly, so all eggs and chicks are important to the population.
"They need all the help they can get, and it will be extremely disappointing if someone has taken these eggs.
"This is devastating for our staff who put in countless hours caring for these birds in challenging conditions, keeping them cool on hot days, working to prevent flystrike, and providing supplementary feeds to underweight chicks."
Te Poari a Pukekura Management Group Chair Nadia Wesley-Smith says, "the disappearance of toroa eggs from Pukekura is deeply concerning, and considered by Te Poari a Pukekura as not only a disruption to the mauri and mana of the headland, but also has a devastating impact to the toroa population, and the conservation efforts of all who care for our taoka species".
Te Rūnanga o Ōtakou Chair Rachel Wesley said the hapū from Ōtākou have a close affinity with the toroa at Pukekura, so we view the unexplained disappearance with the utmost concern.
"Due to the slow breeding cycle and vulnerable status of toroa, any loss of eggs or chicks from natural causes is disappointing, but the unexplained nature of this particular incident, and especially with the suggestion it may be people who are responsible, is absolutely devastating.
"I hope answers to their whereabouts will be found quickly and the eggs of this important taoka species still remain viable."
Taiaroa Head is the only mainland site in the world where toroa breed, and one of the few places in the world where people can easily see them. It's a privilege that people need to respect, Annie Wallace says.
The site is a nature reserve and is fully fenced, and entry is by permit only. There is also a Wildlife Foreshore Sanctuary along the coast which restricts both foot and boat access.
If anyone has any information that might help find these eggs, they are asked to call 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468) or the Police non-emergency number 105.
Toroa are one of the largest seabirds in the world, with a wingspan of more than 3m. There are about 17,000 of these long-lived birds left, and they range widely across the Southern Ocean. Most breed on several islands in the Chatham Islands.
Toroa are protected under the Wildlife Act and it is an offence to kill, injure, harass or disturb them.

Did you know that the Netherlands contributes around 40% of all cut flowers worldwide? Whether your flowers come from overseas or from your local flower farm, flowers can make any home a bit more exciting. Summer flowers for your dinner table can add plenty of personality and beauty to the room.
But there is a problem: how should you go about choosing the right dinner table flowers? After all, there are so many different seasonal flowers to choose from and you can arrange them in so many different ways.
Keep reading and learn all about how to choose the most beautiful flowers for your dinner table before summer is over.
Bright White Flowers
Summer is full of sunlight and brightness, so it only makes sense to choose flowers that reflect all the light that summer has to offer. It's hard to go wrong with white flowers because there are so many options to choose from and they effortlessly match whatever is around them. White roses and peonies are both good choices if you plan on getting white flowers, although white carnations are quite striking as well.
The trick to using white flowers for your dinner table is not to use too many of them at once. If you cluster a bunch of white flowers together, the impact of the flowers will start to dwindle. More than that, the different white flowers will start to meld together and you won't be able to admire the individual beauty of the different flowers.
To fix this problem, you'll want the make sure that the white flowers are separated by filler flowers.
Filler Flowers
Filler flowers are much smaller than the main flowers and function to give a bit of contrast to the resulting bouquet. Preferably, the color of the filler flowers should not be drastically different from the shade of the main flowers.
For example, if your main flowers are white or another light color, you won't want your filler flowers to be a very dark shade a the contrast will be much too strong. Instead, you will want the filler flowers to be another light shade to complement the main flowers without blending into the overall bouquet. For example, filler flowers that are light blue, green, pink, or yellow would all do very well to complement a cluster of white flowers.
This is not to mention that these colors would compliment any dinner table effortlessly.
Bold Blooms
If you are having a particular succulent dinner such as steak, stew, or pork, you can complement the appearance of your dish with bold flowers. Many people don't think much about common flowers and their colors. However, colors can make a lot of difference.
Darker flowers will provide a much different mood than light flowers. Consider dark red roses or carnations. Also, consider the dark green leaves they have to offer.
Dark colors like these offer a more luxurious and opulent feel. This is in contrast to lighter flowers that are more lighthearted and superficial. Darker flowers are preferable for romantic evenings and more serious occasions.
Lighter flowers, on the other hand, are best for lighter occasions such as garden parties. As with white flowers, you won't want to bundle too many dark flowers together. Otherwise, the dark colors of their petals will start to meld together.
This can take away from the individual beauty of each flower.
What You Need to Know
Try to make sure that your flowers aren't all equally dark. For example, try mixing some dark red roses with brighter red roses or other flowers.
This does not mean that you have to choose pastel flowers to lighten the bouquet. Pastel shades don't usually go well with very dark shades as the contrast is too great. Marigolds, for example, are bold but not too dark and not too light.
They are perfect for lightening up a bouquet that is too dark. They are also a beautiful summer flower in general. Of course, there are many other blooms you can use, such as zinnias or hydrangeas.
Once you get the hang of choosing the right flowers for the occasion, you'll find that it isn't as hard of a task as you might expect.
Pastel Shades
If your next dinner is going to be a more lighthearted occasion, it is best to opt for pastel blooms. You will find that there are many light-colored flowers to choose from such as orchids, roses, hydrangeas, and more. The great thing about pastels is that they all tend to match with each other.
Pastel green goes well with pastel blue, pink, yellow, and so on. And, of course, every pastel shade goes very well with white flowers. You will want to avoid dark or very bold blooms in a pastel arrangement since a single bold flower can take away from the more delicate beauty of the pastel blooms.
To make sure that your pastel flowers stand out, be sure that there are plenty of filler flowers involved. They can not only add contrast to the color of the pastels but also function to fluff up the arrangements so they look more voluminous and rich.
Pastel flowers are ideal for dinners involving lighter foods such as fish, vegetables, fruit, cheese, and so on.
Choosing the Best Summer Flowers for Your Dinner Table
Choosing summer flowers for your dinner table doesn't have to be a chore as long as you know what to look for. Choosing the right flowers can make all the difference because of how they can affect your dining room's mood. Whether you use white, pastel, or dark flowers, a bouquet or two will surely improve the look of your dining space.

Background: Chagas is a public health problem, especially in Latin America, exacerbated by migratory movements and increasing urbanization. Argentina has the highest number of cases in the region, with 1,500,000 infected people, with mother-to-child as the primary mode of transmission. Vertical transmission has been significantly reduced by treating women of childbearing age; several guidelines in the region recommend treatment as a primary prevention strategy for the child and a secondary prevention strategy for women and their families. Despite recommendations, women of childbearing age are not always treated, and children do not receive timely diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this research was to design an implementation strategy to improve using Chagas guidelines at the primary healthcare level and pilot it to assess its feasibility and the factors that influence its implementation in three primary health care centers, Argentina.
Methods: We conducted a pilot feasibility study using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. A qualitative process evaluation was conducted using semi-structured interviews with health care providers and observations in primary health care centers.
Results: We developed a multifaceted implementation strategy including training, flowcharts and reminders, a register of suspected and confirmed Chagas cases, and the selection of a management facilitator. The pilot study took place between September 2019 and May 2020. The implementation level was heterogeneous and varied depending on the components, being the facilitating factors, the simplicity of the intervention, professionals' willingness to expand the indication of serologic tests, and staff commitment to the adoption of intervention components. The main barriers were the change of authorities at the local level, some professionals´ reluctance to administer etiological treatment, staff shortages, lack of diagnostic supplies (linked to contextual factors), and the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions: Behavioral change strategies should be applied to improve implementation to address some of the main barriers, including support actions offered by opinion leaders, medical experts, and local health authorities. Rapid diagnostic tests should be readily available to maintain behavior changes. We suggest further refinement of the strategy and its implementation in more centers to assess outcomes prospectively with a hybrid implementation research design.
