Yale educational programming related to China has received a boon, thanks to a pair of $25 million donations announced Thursday to establish the Maurice R. Greenberg Yale-China Initiative.
The donations, which stem from Greenberg's family foundation and the Starr Foundation, are to fund an initiative that will provide funding for the World Fellows Program, a conference center for on-campus international executive education, as well as student funding for study at Yale and abroad. Although Greenberg, the former chairman and CEO of American International Group — the world's largest insurance company — is not a Yale alumnus, he has been a "longtime supporter for Yale," Yale President Richard Levin said.
"He's been very intensely interested in China for a long time, and he sees Yale's commitment to educating Chinese students as a natural area of support," Levin said.
The gift is a recognition of the University's work on collaborative efforts in China, said assistant secretary for international affairs Fawn Wang, who directs the Office of International Affairs' efforts in China.
"It's definitely a great thing," Wang said. "It will certainly benefit the University's China initiatives, and I think the big gift also proves that people like Mr. Greenberg recognize Yale's efforts and collaborative efforts in China."
The donation will provide for the financial support of Greenberg Scholars, who will include both Chinese students at Yale and students abroad in China. The gifts will also bolster financial resources for the expenses associated with world fellows from countries including China.
The University will also host senior government officials, university presidents, and the leaders of state-owned enterprises from China at the new Greenberg International Conference Center, which will be built funds from the foundation's donation. In recent years, the University has hosted several executive education programs on campus for leaders from China.
Associate Vice President for Development Joan O'Neill said the gift, which was secured after discussions between Greenberg and Vice President for Development Inge Reichenbach, can be explained by Greenberg's family connection to the University and AIG's presence in China's insurance market.
"In addition to his connection in terms of China, which has been an ongoing one, he is also a former parent of a Medical School student," O'Neill said. "In terms of the area supported with his commitment, it is connected to his own personal and professional connections."
Greenberg, who has retired from AIG, is currently the chairman and CEO of C.V. Starr & Company. In addition to serving as Chairman of the Starr Foundation, Greenberg is also the former chairman of the Asia Society and honorary vice chairman and director of the Council on Foreign Relations. Greenberg declined to comment for the story.
The Starr Foundation was set up in 1955 by the founder of AIG, Cornelius Vander Starr, who established his first insurance venture in Shanghai in 1919.

Video portraits of new arriveals and locals of Köln-Ehrenfeld´s Geisselstraße
From 7 January through 4 February 2018, katharinajej showed video portraits of various people living on Geisselstraße, including those recently arrived at the refugee accommodation located in the same street, as well as locals who have been already living here for longer. Portraits showing the faces of previously filmed inhabitants of this neighbourhood have been projected daily between 5 PM and 8 PM at Geisselstraße no.15.
Open to the public, this display shows a handful of people who are currently living at Geisselstraße. Faces you'd hardly get to see longer than an instant when passing on the street do now become visible and hence more familiar. Neighbours who would normally rarely get in touch with one another, do now share the same plot within the video installation - time-related and spatial proximity on the projection surface. The prolonged intervals showing individuals' faces allow passer-bys and residents to grasp the beauty of each and every human being regardless of their origins. The street is showing us its true colours.

How it all went wrong (again) in Europe as second wave grips continent
After successfully tamping down the first surge of infection and death, Europe is now in the middle of a second coronavirus wave as it moves into winter -- raising questions over what went so wrong.Posted — Updated
Daily case numbers in the European Union and United Kingdom this week reached record highs of more than 45,000 on a 14-day notification rate, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and new restrictions are being imposed in places that were well into reopening. Leaders have raised fears over the pressure that hospitals could face in coming months and the looming prospect of new national lockdowns.
Europe's death rate has been stable for 72 days, according to the ECDC, although Bulgaria, Croatia, Malta, Romania and Spain are seeing death rate increases.
There are trends that may explain the deterioration. The surge comes just after the summer vacation season, as workers return to city centers and children go back to school. The World Health Organization has suggested the increase could be partly down to the relaxation of measures and people dropping their guard, and evidence indicates young people are driving the second surge in Europe.
Despite the rising numbers of cases, and recent deaths in Europe, the continent still compares favorably to the United States. Europe has reported 4.4 million cases and 217,278 deaths among a population of 750 million, while the US has reported 6.7 million cases and 198,000 deaths in a population of 330 million.
The second wave
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday told reporters that the UK is "now seeing a second wave coming in" and that it was "inevitable," as daily case numbers passed 4,000 for the first time since May.
"Obviously we're looking very carefully at the spread of the pandemic as it evolves over the last few days," Johnson said. "There's no question, as I've said for weeks now, that we could (and) are now seeing a second wave coming in. We are seeing it in France, in Spain, across Europe. It has been absolutely inevitable we will see it in this country.
"I don't want to go into second national lockdown. The only way we can do that is if people follow the guidance."
The UK has the highest number of deaths in Europe at more than 40,000 and new restrictions on social gatherings were imposed across England this week.
Johnson is facing a growing backlash even from his usual cheerleaders in Britain's right-wing press, with the Daily Telegraph and Spectator both questioning the government's game plan and Times of London columnist Matthew Parris writing that Johnson's "shine has gone."
Their damning words come amid widespread criticism of the UK's collapsing test-and-trace system that even the PM admits has "huge problems."
New restrictions were also announced on Friday in Madrid, which accounts for approximately a third of all new cases in Spain, according to the Spanish Health Ministry. The country reported a record 12,183 daily cases on September 11, and has the highest number of cases in Europe at more than 600,000, with more than 30,000 deaths.
France recorded 13,215 new Covid-19 cases in 24 hours on Friday, according to data released by its National Health Agency, its highest tally since April. The figures also showed an increasing trend in hospital admissions with 3,626 new patients over the previous seven days. In one major French city, CNN reported this week that hospitals were close to running out of ICU beds.
The Czech Republic reported a record 3,130 daily infections Friday as masks were made mandatory in schools again, and the Netherlands reported a record 1,977 cases. Prime Minister Mark Rutte told a news conference that the country's number of daily infections was doubling in just over a week. "With an R of 1.4, that number will grow in three weeks to more than 10,000 per day," he said.
"You don't have to be a mathematician or virologist to understand that these kinds of numbers will inevitably work into the hospitals," he warned.
Restaurants, cafes, and bars in six Dutch regions will face new restrictions starting Sunday.
Italy recorded its highest tally since May on Friday with 1,907 daily cases; Poland recorded a record 1,002 daily cases on Saturday.
Where it went wrong
WHO Europe director Hans Kluge warned this week of "alarming rates of transmission" and a "very serious situation" in the region, adding that weekly cases have exceeded those reported during the March peak.
While there was an increase in cases in older age groups -- those aged 50 to 79 -- in the first week of September, Kluge said, the biggest proportion of new cases is still among 25- to 49-year-olds.
In late August, Kluge said the gradual increase in Europe's cases could be partly explained by "the relaxation of public health and social measures, where authorities have been easing some of the restrictions and people have been dropping their guard."
He said he was "very concerned that more and more young people are counted among reported cases," advising against large gatherings and parties.
In several countries, cases are rising particularly fast in densely populated cities, where people are returning to offices, schools and public places after measures eased following spring's peak.
Like Spain, Austria has seen its biggest spike in its capital. Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told national Austrian news agency APA last Sunday that the situation was ''particularly dramatic'' in Vienna, which has more than half of all registered new infections.
''We are at the beginning of the second wave. We are facing difficult months in the autumn and winter. The number of infections is increasing from day to day," he said in a tweet, asking Austrians to reduce social contacts as the obligation to wear face masks was expanded to more public places.
Turkish health minister Fahrettin Koca said at his weekly coronavirus news briefing on September 2 that the country was "in the second peak of the first wave."
"We are at this threshold today because of the movement around the holiday period and weddings which are integral parts of our traditions."
Authorities in Italy said in late August that approximately 50% of new infections had been contracted during summer vacations, around the country and abroad, primarily among young adults who have not been cautious with social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines.
Countries including Greece and Croatia, largely spared by the first wave, saw fast case number rises in August as tourists took summer vacations following the reopening of Europe's internal borders in June.
But Europe can take some comfort from experience. Professor Mark Woolhouse, an epidemiologist at the University of Edinburgh, told CNN earlier this month that the initial lockdown was "never, ever going to solve the problem for us in Europe or anywhere else; it was simply deferring it."
While cases are rising, this can partly be attributed to increased levels of testing, and daily deaths in Europe are down from 3,788 on April 18 to 504 on September 18 on a seven-day rolling average, according to CNN analysis of figures from Johns Hopkins University.

Rev David McClure (1748–1820) was a Presbyterian missionary to the Native American Indians, but due to the effects of war he ended up in western Pennsylvania. He was also on the staff of Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. Some of the family's ancestry appears in this book. The McClures are said to have fled from Scotland to Ulster "in times of persecution", so therefore the mid 1600s, where they were caught up in the Siege of Derry of 1688–9. They left Ulster around 1729 and sailed to Boston where they founded a Presbyterian church called Federal Street Church.
"The congregation began as a group of Scots-Irish Calvinists gathered in a converted barn on Long Lane in Boston on November 15, 1729. The inhospitable residents of Boston dubbed them derogatorily as "The Church of the Presbyterian Strangers," and the name stuck. "Their first house of worship was a barn, which sufficed until they were able, in 1744, to build a neat wooden edifice.' (Wikipedia)
David was born in Newport, Rhode Island and died at East Windsor, Connecticut. His diary was published and is online here.
The diary is a treasure trove, once again slaying the claim that 'Scotch-Irish' was an unknown term to the early Ulster emigrants in America but was 'retro-fitted' to their story in the late 1800s.
"The people are mainly Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. On this journey we overtook several families moving from the older settlements in the East to the West. Iremember one in particular, a family of about twelve. The man carried a gun and an axe on his shoulders. The wife had the rimof a spinning wheel in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other. The little boys and girls each carried a bundle according to their age. Two poor horses were loaded with some of the bare necessities of life. On top of the baggage of one was a sort of wicker cage in which a baby lay, rocked to sleep by the motion of the horse. A cow was one of the company, and she was destined to bear her part of the family belongings. A bed cord was wrapped around her horns and a bag of meal was on her back. This family was not only patient, but cheerful; pleased at the prospect of finding a happy home in one of the valleys which stretched from the mountains westward on to Pittsburgh."
"The inhabitants of this country, many miles around, are Scotch Irish. They are presbyterians, & generally well indoctrinated in the principles of the christian religion, civil, hospitable & curteous to strangers. This description of people are removing almost daily into this country. Great numbers, within a few years, have come from Ireland."
"The inhabitants west of the Appalachian mountains are chiefly Scotch Irish presbyterians. They are either natives of the North of Ireland, or the descendents of such & removed here from the middle Colonies. There are some Germans, English & Scotch. The presbyterians are generally well indoctrinated in the principles of the christian religion. The young people are taught by their parents & school masters, the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, & almost every family has the Westminster Confession of Faith, which they carefully study. Mr. Eurie, lives in a small neighbourhood of german quakers, with whom he can have little or no religious society, as the most of them are very ignorant & bigoted."
"Not able this day to preach, (being Sabbath) having been badly poisoned in the face, by some poisonous weeds. The people of this settlement are almost all of scotch irish descent. Immigrants from the North of Ireland, or descendents of such. They are presbyterians, well instructed in the principles of religion, & a number of them very exemplary and pious. The line between religious & irreligious characters is more discrimenating here, as well as over the mountains, than it is in New England, where the forms of religion are established by law, and where the irreligious are not much respected or promoted to Office in society."
"CARLISLE. Passed through this place, in which are two presbyterian churches, & one small episcopal Society. The people principally scotch-irish."
Gaelic-speaking Highland Scots were also among the frontier Pennsylvania community:
"Dined at Dr. Rogers, with a Scotch minister, who has lately arrived, with a company from the Isle of Sky, with the intention of making a settlement up the North River. His name, I think, is McClellan. Heard Mr. Treat preach in the afternoon, & in the evening, Mr. McClellan. He preached in the Erse language, to his companions, who appeared in the Scotch plaid dress, & attended with great decency.
Interestingly McClure also uses the term 'Scotch and Irish" but to refer to one group of people, not two. Here's an example where he contrasts them with the German settlers:
"It is strange that there should be so wide a difference in point of hospitality, between the Germans & the Scotch and Irish of this country. The former will put themselves to no trouble to oblige you, & expect a reward for every service, the latter, we found cheerfully shewing us any kindness which we needed, without any other reward, except the satisfaction of obliging a stranger."

Technological / Artificial Ways
to Affect States of Consciousness
By: Mark Bancroft, MA
A variety of technological devices have been developed to quickly and easily produce an altered state of consciousness. The want for rapid results with the least amount of effort is indicative of our society. Therefore, technological altered state devices have become fairly popular even though the same effects can be achieved through meditation and self-hypnosis.
One of the more popular devices is based upon the concept of entrainment through brain-wave synchronization. Flashing red LED's mounted to a pair dark glasses are worn with the eyes closed. The LEDs pulsate at the frequency corresponding to the CPS of discrete brain-wave states (beta, alpha, theta). Typically, rapid pulsations "entrained" with the beta state are experienced for the first few minutes. As time elapses the LED flash rate slows to resemble alpha and/or theta patterns. The theory is that the brain, through entrainment, will mirror the LED cycle causing a person to enter into the desired altered state. In practice the device does appear to enhance the user's ability to experience deep relaxation; yet only during its initial use. Within twenty sessions the device typically becomes an annoyance. This could indicate that the device can help "teach" people how to enter an altered state, and that its continued use may then become a distraction.
A second technological device aimed to produce an altered state is the Alphatronic, developed by Lowell Boke. This device emits a 9-volt electrical charge through a pair of headphones. The headphones are worn behind the ears with the aid of electro-surgical gel. An altered state is believed to result by having an electrical charge stimulate the mastoid bone. Though not as common as the previous device the alphatronic demonstrates the variety of ways people seek to quickly and easily experience altered states of consciousness.

Thanks for your honest thoughts on Glamglow. It's so annoying when you spend a fortune on products only to find their are better or equally good products on the high street. I have been looking for a deep mud cleanser and a brightening product as my skin has been so bad recently - need some sunshine! If you have any recommendations please let me know 😘ReplyDelete

I have zero luck with GlamGlow masks but thankfully I've tried deluxe sample sizes instead of spending a fortune on full sizes. The only GlamGlow product that I truly enjoy is the ThirstyMud Foam Cleanser. Thank you so much for an honest review!ReplyDelete

I had a similar experience, I heard a lot of celebrities talking about these masks as a lifesaver but I found the Tingleexfoliate one really drying! I would consider trying one of the cool silver peel-off ones though.ReplyDelete
Beauty From Katie
I haven't tried these masks and it's good to know that these do not work for everyone since there was a craziness last year about these and everyone was 'nominating' them as best face masks. Thank you for your honest review.ReplyDelete
I've also been wanting to try glamgow forever- it's just so pricey and facemasks are such a risk when you have quite sensitive skin! Thanks for giving such an honest review- I may just avoid them now!ReplyDelete
Really appreciate your honest thoughts on this range, hun! I always thought that these are just so over-priced, even if they were effective I think that there are many cheaper alternatives out there that do exactly the same thing. I never pay more than a tenner for a mask! I would love to try these out one day, but not for that price! Thanks for sharing your honest review, darling. <3 xoxoReplyDelete
I haven't tried the CULT GLAMGLDW products before, but loved your honest review! I will pop into sephora and ask for a sample! Have a great start to the week Vanessa <3ReplyDelete
I really want to try these but yeah the price always deters me! Nice to see it's not that impressive for the price then hahaReplyDelete

I have never been super in to the Glam Glow range. They are just so expensive for the product, and I find a lot of them don't do much. Thanks for the honest review!ReplyDelete

Never heard of it but I definitely try new things on my face once in awhile. I haven't found anything as great as I want tho!ReplyDelete

These masks are all over internet. And I guess there are many reasons for it.ReplyDelete
I really want to try these masks out, they are everywhere! Great postReplyDelete

Thanks for the honest review! I've been thinking that I would want to try them, but I don't see how they could do anything different from a normal mask.ReplyDelete
Thanks for an honest review. I had never tried the brand before.ReplyDelete

Great review. Like you, I too had heard about good things about the Glam Glow masks. I was shopping around for a mask a couple of weeks ago(ended up just getting the sephora single face masks) because the Glam Glow masks were more than I wanted to spend at the moment. But will keep your review in mind if and when I do decide to try out the brand myself.ReplyDelete
Thanks Maggie, hope you found this review useful!ReplyDelete
It's such a shame that these masks didn't work out for you and I would expect a lot more from them for the price. I haven't tried the Glam Glow masks before but I think I will be giving them a miss. xReplyDelete
I heard mixed reviews about these masks. Some people loved them others, didn't like them very much. Honestly, I have never tried them out at all and I don't think I will since I have very sensitive skin. I loved your review and photos :) http://www.bauchlefashion.com/2017/03/how-bazaar-street-style-accessories.htmlReplyDelete

In a recent commentary published in National Journal, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, predicted that as much as 80 percent of a doctor's job could be replaced by computers in the decades ahead. Contrary to this, the news story, Technology in Healthcare: Why Docs Shouldn't Feel Threatened, argues that the split in duties will more than likely be equal stating that the need for doctors is just as necessary as the demand for technology.
Tools such as clinical decision support software, as commentary author Darius Tahir points out, is proof that technology is valuable and important in helping doctors provide their patients with quality care but not eliminate it altogether.
While it's true that technology assists doctors and treatment efforts, the patient and doctor relationship can never be replaced or forged. It is often this relationship that is one of the biggest contributing factors in a patient's recovery and the idea that computers will ultimately replace the physical care of a physician, or even the majority of it, is hard to compute.
A patient's journey to health is comprised of multiple influences ranging from family support systems to positive thinking, but one of the most powerful is their relationship with their doctor. The honest and trusting relationship that forms between a patient and physician and network of nurses during treatment is a precious resource that costs nothing beyond time and effort. This human connection cannot be paralleled by any technology and is why computers will never be able to fully eliminate patients' innate desire to trust in and be cared for by doctors.
Hospitals' staff give a patient an invaluable tool during treatment: compassion. Compassion is one of medicine's most underestimated and overlooked resources and will never be substituted by any software. A common phrase comes to mind; just because you can doesn't mean you should, meaning that just because a computer can or could do a doctor's job does not mean that it should. In line with the Fierce Health IT article, physicians should not feel threatened by technology because it will never have the ability to feel, empathize or care for a patient on a human level.
Despite rapidly developing medical technology, we are still eons away from computers being able to mimic human emotion. Doctors spend weeks, months and years forming valuable relationships with their patients and it is these connections that empower the healthcare community. For further reading on why doctors should not feel threatened by technology, please refer to the original article posted on Fierce Health IT.

Happy New Year! I hope you had (or are still having) a great holiday. This project was supposed to be for the holidays, but you know how things are … life. I thought the Ayla socks would make great wearing around the house or slipper socks, akin to reading socks, but made from something lovely, natural, and by YOU!
We used the luscious and seriously cozy Illimani Llama II, and our socks definitely turned out delicious! Camelid fibres like Llama and Alpaca tend to stretch once they are worn, so you may want to go down a needle size if you use this type of fibre. Wool and the wool blend the pattern is designed in (Berroco Vintage Chunky) tend to be springy and keep their shape much better. If machine washability is important for you, go with the Malabrigo Mecha or Berroco Vintage Chunky, both are superwash yarns and a no-brainer.
Yarn Options
We used Illimani Llama II (2 skeins), but you can use a few other options:
- The pattern was designed with Berroco Vintage Chunky, which is an ideal yarn for these socks: it's soft, machine washable, and they will wear well. (2 skeins)
- Malabrigo Mecha would make a GORGEOUS pair of hand-painted socks. It's machine washable too, a plus for feet related projects. (2 skeins)
- Cascade Eco+ Merino would make beautiful socks, and you'll get at least two pairs out of one skein. (one skein)
- Diamond Luxury Collection Baby Alpaca Sport would make gorgeous luxury reading socks, like the Illimani Llama II, but Alpacaish. (2 skeins)
- Illimani Llama II: 2 skeins
- 6mm/US10 double pointed needles (or go down to a 5.5mm/US9 for a tighter fit)
- cable needle

18 Dramatic Ways to Express Yourself with Gestures, According to a 19th Century Book
In 1846, Dr. Andrew Comstock published A system of elocution, with special reference to gesture, to the treatment of stammering, and defective articulation, comprising numerous diagrams, and engraved figures, illustrative of the subject. The book was, he wrote, "designed for the use of Schools and Colleges, as well as for the instruction of private individuals who desire to improve themselves in the art of reading and speaking." The book includes not just instructions and exercises in articulation, pitch, force, and time, but also gestures to use when expressing certain emotions or feelings (largely sourced, Comstock explains, from Gilbert Austin's Chironomia, or a Treatise on Rhetorical Delivery). Normally, you'd use these while on stage, but feel free to employ them in your everyday life, too.
1. Reproach
To convey reproach, Comstock writes that a person must "[put] on a stern aspect: the brow is contracted, the lip is turned up with scorn, and the whole body is expressive of aversion." This particular figure, Henry VIII's Queen Katharine, is "reproaching Wolsey for the injuries which had been heaped upon her." Why this requires a hand in the air is unclear.
2. Apprehension
"Apprehension is the prospect of future evil accompanied with uneasiness of mind," Comstock writes. Take, for example, this illustration, which "represents Hamlet in the act of exclaiming, 'Ay, there's the rub.'"
3. Terror
There are many ways to express terror, which "excites the person who suffers under it, to avoid the dreaded object, or to escape from it," Comstock writes. "If it be some dangerous reptile on the ground, and very near, the expression is represented by starting back and looking downwards. If the danger threaten from a distance, the terror arising is expressed by looking forwards, and not starting back, but merely in the retired position. But if the dread of impending death from the hand of an enemy awaken this passion, the coward flies." This particular figure shows a man who is terrified of lightning and thunder, who "shuts his eyes, covers them with one hand and extends the other behind him, as if to ward off the dreaded stroke."
4. Horror
"Horror," Comstock writes, "is aversion or astonishment mingled with terror." To portray it, a person must not retreat, but "[remain] in one attitude, with the eyes riveted on the object, the arms, with the hands vertical, held forward to guard the person, and the whole frame trembling."
5. Listening Fear
A person experiencing listening fear, as this figure supposedly shows, is listening to obtain information. He "first casts the eye quickly in the apparent direction of the sounds," Comstock writes. "[I]f nothing is seen, the ear is turned towards the point of expectation, the eye is bent on vacancy, and the arm is extended, with the hand vertical." All of this should happen in just a quick moment, and if many sounds are coming from different areas at the same time, Comstock advises that the person hold both hands up, while "the face and eyes alternately change from one side to the other with a rapidity governed by the nature of the sound; if it be alarming, with trepidation; if pleasing, with gentle motion." At which point it probably wouldn't be "listening fear" anymore, but something else entirely.
6. Admiration
Admiration of a landscape cannot be completely expressed with words or facial expressions. Instead, Comstock writes, a person expressing it "holds both hands vertical, and across, and then moves them outwards to the position extended as in the figure," as in the figure above. "In admiration arising from some extraordinary or unexpected circumstances, the hands are thrown up supine elevated, together with the face and the eyes."
7. Veneration
This one is easy: "Veneration crosses both hands on the breast, casts down the eyes slowly, and bows the head."
8. Deprecation
Though you're typically expressing disapproval when you deprecate someone, you'd never know it by this gesture, which "advances in the extended position of the feet, approaching to kneeling, clasps the hands forcibly together, throws back the head, sinking it between the shoulders, and looks earnestly up to the person implored."
9. Appealing to Heaven
This gesture looks a lot like reproach, but with a happier face."[T]he right hand is laid on the breast, then the left is projected supine upwards," Comstock writes. "[T]he eyes are first directed forwards, and then upwards. In the appeal to conscience, the right hand is laid on the breast, the left drops unmoved, the eyes are fixed upon the person addressed; sometimes both hands press the breast."
10. Shame in the Extreme
"Shame in the extreme sinks on the knee, and covers the eyes with both hands," Comstock writes. What would regular shame look like, I wonder?
11. Resignation Mixed with Desperation
"Resignation mixed with desperation," Comstock writes, "stands erect and unmoved, the head thrown back, the eyes turned upward, and fixed, the arms crossed." This pose reads more dignified than resigned and desperate to me, but I'm not an expert.
12. Grief Arising from Sudden and Afflicting Intelligence
This isn't your regular sadness. To express it, a person must "[cover] the eyes with one hand, [advance] forwards, and [throw] back the other hand."
13. Mild Resignation
"Mild resignation falls on the knee, crosses the arms on the breast, and looks forwards and upwards towards heaven," Comstock writes.
14. Surprise
"Surprise causes the body and lower limbs to retire, and affection stimulates the person to advance," Comstock writes. This figure shows a character from a German play who "unexpectedly sees his dear friend. He withdraws, in surprise, his body and lower limbs, and, in the ardor of friendship, immediately stretches forwards his head and his arms."
15. Melancholy
Get ready to mope: Melancholy, "a feeble and passive affection," Comstock writes, "is attended by a total relaxation of the muscles, with a mute and tranquil resignation, unaccompanied by opposition either to the cause or the sensibility of the evil. The character, externally, is languor, without motion, the head hanging at the 'side next the heart." The eyes should be fixed upon the object of this melancholy, but, if the object isn't there, "fixed upon the ground, the hands hanging down by their own weight, without effort, and joined loosely together."
16. Anxiety
The polar opposite of melancholy, anxiety is restless and active, and manifested "by the extension of the muscles," Comstock writes. "[T]he eye is filled with fire, the breathing is quick, the motion is hurried, the head is thrown back, the whole body is extended. The sufferer is like a sick man, who tosses incessantly, and finds himself uneasy in every situation."
17. Distress, When Extreme
"Distress, when extreme," Comstock writes, "lays the palm of the hand upon the forehead, throws back the head and body, and retires with a long and sudden step." This is a less extreme version of grief arising from sudden and afflicting intelligence.
18. Self-Sufficiency
"Self-sufficiency folds the arms, and sets himself on his center," Comstock writes, noting that "this was a favorite posture of [Napoleon] Bonaparte."

"Balls are committed to beautiful appearance. But from the very beginning the Science Ball was committed to an idea, namely to bring the openness, diversity and excellence of the Viennese researchers into the spotlight of attention. We owe a great deal to scientific research in the socio-political field. And so it is only logical that for the ball gowns and their wearers at this event that what counts is not the hip measurement, but the attitude: every woman has a right to feel beautiful."

"Making of" Markus Mayer
The photo series with Burgtheater actor and biochemist Markus Meyer was created in the late afternoon of December 22, 2017, in the legendary bar of the Hotel Intercontinental in Vienna. Two days before, Mayer had premiered in Ewald Palmetshofer's drama "Before Sunrise" (after Gerhart Hauptmann); for photographer Sabine Hauswirth, camera operator Joseph Cyril Stoisits and me it was the last appointment before Christmas. The pictures give away this relaxed mood. On the stage effect of Markus Meyer we quote from the "Burgtheater Magazin" (November issue December 2017, page 35):
Have you ever had indecent thoughts while watching actors play?
"Indecent thoughts? Markus Meyer's appearance as Ludwig II! Heaven, staying cool next to my husband was a great acting performance by me. "
Susanna Cantele
We confirm this impression with pleasure.
Markus Meyer
"According to Hermann F. Mark, 'all life is chemistry', but according to Calderón, 'life is a dream'. So as a consequence one might follow that chemistry is based on the dream, that life is created out of nothing. Chemists do this everyday in the lab, actors on stage every night. The science ball suggests that such relationships between research and the arts are made and appreciated. That alone is a reason to celebrate. "
Markus Meyer is an actor at the Burgtheater since 2004, most recently as the leading character in "Ludwig II." at the Akademietheater. In 2016 he was named "Actor of the Year" by the ORF radio drama jury. Markus is also a trained biochemist (University of Hannover)

SciBall on radio Superfly
For the first time, the Science Ball Vienna will be "on air". Thanks to our cooperation with the radio station Superfly, this spot can be heard in the greater Vienna area on radio superfly 98.3 FM in the coming weeks and as a livestream worldwide. At the ball itself there will be much more from our trusted radiostation – at the disco in the "Radio Superfly Ball Room".
The spot was made possible and produced by the media class of the JAM Music Lab University, the youngest university in Vienna. Many thanks to Marcus Ratka and Oliver Schmellenkamp!

On behalf of the organizing team, supporters and ball ambassadors, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Continue reading Happy Holidays 2017!

Red currants are a red translucent edible berry measuring about 8 – 12 mm. They come in bunches called racemes and there are between 3 – 10 berries per raceme. They are from the gooseberry family native to parts of Western Europe.
So can rabbits eat red currants at all?
Let's take a look at their nutritional data, in particular their sugar, calcium, phosphorus, fat, fibre, and sodium

As you can see red currants contain quite a bit of phosphorus, a hint of calcium, a little acidic content, a lot of sugar, a little fat and a hint of fat.
This means that rabbits can eat red currants but only a few a week as they are quite sweet and too many will hurt their tummies.
They are able to eat the leaves of red currants though.

Children with sickle cell disease or coagulopathy are more likely to suffer complications associated with a hyphema. Visual acuity is the vital sign of the eye and should be documented in every child with an ocular injury or visual complaint. Obtain an ophthalmology consultation in the emergency department on all patients with hyphemas, suspected globe rupture, or significant visual impairment. A caustic injury to the eye (acid or alkali) is one of the few situations in which treatment must occur prior to examination and visual acuity testing. ++ Ocular trauma is the leading cause of noncongenital blindness in individuals younger than 20 years. Every year in the United States approximately 840,000 children injure an eye with an estimated cost of more than $88 million. Motor vehicle crashes account for the majority of hospitalized eye injuries. Recreational and sports injuries are more prevalent in the pediatric population than they are in adults. In addition, ocular trauma may occur as a consequence of child abuse. In preschool children, most injuries are due to falls, motor vehicle collisions, and accidental blows to the eye. In adolescents and teenagers, ocular trauma occurs twice as often in male patients.1 This is also the age group in which sports-related injuries become an important factor; especially baseball, ice hockey, racquet sports, soccer, archery, and fishing injuries.2 Fireworks and gun-related eye injuries have decreased in incidence in the last 10 years but remain significant causes of pediatric eye injury.3,4 +++ History and Physical Examination ++ Obtain a full history and note any pre-existing eye abnormality and whether or not the child normally wears glasses or contacts. A history of exposure to power tools or metal striking metal should raise the suspicion of an intraocular foreign body. Inquire as to whether the child is having double vision. If so, determine whether the diplopia is monocular or binocular. Monocular double vision implies a problem with the lens or retina, whereas double vision that occurs only with both eyes open is associated with periorbital fractures, extraocular muscle injury, or palsy. ++ Past medical history is also important. Children with sickle cell disease or coagulopathy are more likely to suffer complications associated with a hyphema. Children with osteogenesis imperfecta have fragile sclera and are more prone to open globe injuries from trauma.5 ++ The physical examination of the eye should be performed early in the emergency department (ED) course, after any life-threatening injuries have been excluded or addressed. Progressive lid edema can prevent an adequate examination of the eye. +++ Visual Acuity ++ Visual acuity is the vital sign of the eye and should be documented in every verbal and conscious child with an ocular injury or visual ...

Knysna Elephant Park Reviews
More info about Knysna Elephant Park
Situated off the main highway between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, the Knysna Elephant Park is a sanctuary established in 1994 to provide a safe home for rescued and orphaned elephants. The beautiful farm on which it is located is in the forested and scenic part of Harkerville, ideal for these giant pachyderms to roam.
The park offers a number of experiences. On the standard tour, guests are driven to the elephant enclosure for close up encounters and can stay for as long as they wish. Buy a snack bucket to feed the elephants. Other tour options include walking with or riding on the elephants. Both of these tours end with refreshments and snacks. Vastly reduced pricing encourages school groups to visit the park for an educational and fun outing. All tours are overseen by elephant handlers and tour guides to ensure the safety of all.
The docile and gentle elephants in the park are regularly used... Show more

Day 17 – Pray for Wisdom
I heard Andy Stanley preach a series of messages on the best question. He asked what was the best question of all time? The best question according to Andy was – What is the wise thing to do?
When confronted with a decision he said to ask what is the wise thing to do?
In light of my past, failures, future, hopes and dreams – what is the wise thing decision?
I can't tell you how profound this question has become to me, and how I have shared it over the years.
Solomon was recorded as the wisest man in the Bible. But how did he get that way? If you look in 1 Kings 3 you will see that God asked Solomon one night in a dream and told him he could ask for anything, and Solomon asked for wisdom.
What would you ask for? Money? Fame? Popularity? Property?
The good news is that if you ask God for wisdom – I believe He will give it to you!

To Egypt and beyond18 March 2018
Incredible Technologies is the latest slotmaker to delve into the ancient mysteries with its new game, Rays of Egypt.
The sun god Ra comes to the fore in a 40-line video slot in Incredible's GoldLink game family. High-definition graphics and stacked symbols come to life on the vertical 55-inch touchscreen monitor in Incredible's new Infinity V55 platform,
During regular play, any Sun Scatters that land on reels open the Eye of Ra at the top of the screen, and the Eye adds shimmering stacked gold wilds to the reels.
Three scarab beetles unlock the GoldLink Progressive Bonus. Select a beetle to reveal a number of spins on bonus reels where all the symbols are Egyptian coins. Look for four different colored halos around the coins — they not only award additional free spins but lock onto the screen for remaining free spins.
Collect the halos to unlock one of five progressive wheels. The final award of any progressive wins plus credits from the coin scatters can create huge payoffs.
The stacks and wilds keep you going in regular play, and the progressives plus payoffs on scattered coins make bonus time an event to savor.
Stacked wild cave symbols can boost wins during regular play, and three or more arrow symbols trigger up to 30 free spins. You'll also see Konami's Action Stacked Symbols for multi-payline wins throughout play.
On the free spins, those wild cave symbols carry 2x or 3x multipliers, and you can win additional free games during the feature. Those multipliers and plenty of free spins can bring some Mammoth wins,
The other two are a pair under the Star Watch theme — Star Watch Fire and Star Watch Magma. Both are five-reel, 25-line video slots with progressive jackpots is on its way in a multi-denomination format for 1-, 2-, 5- and 10-cent play.
The Star Watch games have a galaxy's worth of features, instant-win credit prize symbols, a wheel spin feature, free games, full-reel nudging prize symbols, two fixed bonus awards and two progressive jackpots.
Both games showcase Konami's new Strike Zone feature, allowing you to activate special areas of the reel frame for extra bonus events at different extra bet amounts. Depending on your bet, you can cover reels from left to right, up to the entire screen. Every star prize symbol that lands in the Strike Zone awards a random credit prize, jackpot, or wheel spin bonus with guaranteed mini, major, mega, or maxi jackpot.
The Strike Zone is cool in itself, but you'll really love it when you've activated the Strike Zone and get free spins. At free spin time, prize symbols nudge to the fill the entire reel with individual prizes, bonuses and/or progressives — get those prize symbols at the right time, and your credit meter soars like a shooting star.
Your credit meter won't soar every time, of course. As always in any casino game, enjoy the best of the new slots, but be careful with your bankroll.

Rumors came in like a wrecking ball (heh.) that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemswoth's engagement is back on! But…the joke is on us, the young couple can't be tamed!! They *might* already be married!!
Sources say the couple have been calling each other husband and wife since Miley visited Liam in Australia over the holidays. WOW.
Looks like their previous EPICALLY LONG engagement spiced things up the second time around to get them running to the alter QUICK!
Miley has been active on her Instagram since the dramatic photo of her faulting a VERY fancy ring on a VERY special finger. Let's just say…She's just being Miley!

Following are many of the different services that I provide to my clients. As you can see they cover a wide area. I generally warn people to be wary of "do-it-all" computer companies who claim to be experts at everything… commercial and residential software applications, networking, web design, security, and on and on. Not all computer specialists can deliver on what they claim. I can and do.
I happen to enjoy a broad background of computer knowledge and broad range of very knowledgeable contacts within the computer industry. My main area of expertise is in the area of computer networking and networks. I am not so vain (or stupid) as to think I know absolutely everything. When a particular piece of arcane expertise is called for, I am able to recognize the situation and know who is likely to be the best source of that knowledge. I am not at all above calling in an expert's expert when it is prudent to do so.

WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get
This means this is a recent photo of the exact specimen you will receive.
Care advice - Zoas & Palys
Low light levels.
Low to medium flow rate.
All corals require reasonable water quality. Temperature and salinity should be kept as stable as possible, and low levels of nitrates and phosphates.
When you receive your coral ensure you do not place it in a spot that is too brightly lit. If a coral is in a spot that is a little low on light it will generally manage ok. If the spot is too bright it can bleach the coral. If in doubt as to the right spot too little light is unlikely to do much harm, compared to too much light.
The amount of flow a coral needs depends on the type of coral. See PLACEMENT above, or, contact us if you are unsure. Generally Zoas and Palys prefer low to moderate flow rates.
We recommend target feeding corals at least once a week You may also wish to add liquid coral food too. Soft corals and SPS should be fed primarily just liquid coral food, we recommend using Salty Revolution Coral Food 99. A completely revolutionary approach to coral nutrition. This is available here: CLICK HERE
Some fish may peck at or eat corals. Some inverts may also do so. Remove any fish or inverts that are harassing the coral.
We deliver corals, inverts, fish, and, dry goods throughout the UK. You can buy online for pickup in store, or, UK delivery (delivery charge may apply). See the Salty Revolution Shipping Guide for more information on our UK delivery service.

We were toying with the idea if we should pick up this news. Well, it's Monday anyways and thought why the heck not, for Monday blues sake.
This photographer, he had our attention this morning
His name is ChuanDo Tan, and he is a fashion editorial photographer from Singapore, and one half of photography duo ChuanDo&Frey.
The duo also shot the cover and images of Janet Jackson's 10th studio album Discipline in 2008.
He's in his 50's but looks…well we'll let you be the judge
If we may please, have your attention on his work, please. Please.

I have been teaching at Royal since September of 1989. I have taught every mathematics subject we offer at Royal from Algebra to Calculus. I currently teach AP Statistics, CP Statistics, AP Computer Science andComputer Programming. Additionally, I am Co-Chair of the Math Department with my colleague and friend Mr. Bob Willging.
My college education began at Moorpark College where I was originally an accounting major. My plans were to become an FBI agent. After considering what effect that might have on my eventual family, I decided to change my career goal and use my love of math to teach others. I was inspired to do so by my former teacher and colleague, Mr. Keith Barker, who retired from Royal in 2004. Mr. Barker was inducted into the Ventura County Educators Hall of Fame on June 23, 2012. I was honored and priveleged to make his induction speech.
After Moorpark, I transferred to UC San Diego, then to UC Riverside where I received my Bachelor's degree in Mathematics in 1987. After a year of teacher credential work at CSUN, I got a job at Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino where I taught Geometry and coached basketball. I taught at Crespi for one year while I was finishing my teaching credential. The next year, there was an opening for a math teacher at Royal High School and I was hired! During my first three years at Royal, I also coached the sophomore boy's basketball team, leading my team to the Marmonte League championship in my final season (1991-92).
In the summer of 1994 I was fortunate to be accepted into a Masters degree program at CSUN that was designed for secondary math teachers and sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This three-year program was in Mathematics Education with a Special Emphasis on Technology. Those three years were among the best of my life and changed me forever as a teacher. Among the many things I gained were deep knowledge of the use of Texas Instruments graphing calculators, Geometer's Sketchpad software and a renewed interest in statistics. I also gained many new friends and colleagues from around Southern California. I graduated with my Master's degree in May of 1997.
I was born in Jackson, Michigan. My family moved to Simi Valley when I was three years old. I have lived here ever since. I attended Lincoln, Katherine and Arcane Elementary schools, Sinaloa Middle School (then a Junior High School) and Royal High School (Class of 1982).
Among my many interests are computers, music, sports and most recently, long distance running. I have run 5 marathons (26.2 miles) and 4 half-marathons (13.1 miles) since 2007. On March 20th, 2011, I ran the LA Marathon in pouring rain, but managed to finish with my best time ever - 4:21:19! After a fews years of being sidelined due to an Achilles tendon injury, I am hoping to make my comeback sometime in 2015/16.
I am blessed to have a loving and beautiful wife and three healthy, energetic children ages 16, 17 and 19 years. It is due to the four of them that I look forward to waking up and greeting each new day.

Are you in search of a plumber for installation services for your new construction or home remodeling project? If yes, then this article is exclusively for you. Through this article, you will get to how to choose the best plumbing installation services, provider. As plumbing is the most important aspect of every home, it is crucial to select the right plumber to perform the installation services efficiently. With several professionals claiming themselves as the best, it is challenging to choose the best one. However, you need not worry. Below I have put down some tips that will surely help hire the best plumbing service, provider.
Tip #1. Ask for referrals from your friends and relatives.
It is advised to start your search for a plumbing professional by taking recommendations from your friends, relatives, and neighbors who have hired a plumber in the recent past. If they know some good professionals, they will definitely suggest to you. However, make sure to research on your behalf as your requirements may differ from others. Few plumbing companies provide the full range of services, while others provide only specialized services.
Tip #2. Go through the online reviews to learn about the reputation of the company.
Reading online reviews, you will get to know what past clients of the plumber say about him. If you see any negative reviews, then the possibility is there that you will be treated the same way. So, it is suggested only to hire the plumber with all positive reviews.
Tip #3. Check whether the company is licensed and insured or not.
License and insurance are the two most important certificates that any professional should possess. If the plumber you are planning to hire doesn't have these two documents, never hire him. License is an indication that the plumber is well-trained and is allowed by the higher authorities to provide the services. And insurance prevents you from falling under debts if some mishap occurs at your home during plumbing installation.
Tip #4. Check whether the plumber acts with a good level of professionalism or not.
You can learn about this by communicating with the plumber over the phone and in-person too. If the plumber listens to your needs patiently and has good knowledge about plumbing and related tasks, you can consider hiring him.
Tip #5. Ask the professional to provide you with a list of references.
A reputable contractor will never say no when asked for a reference list of past clients. Talking to the previous customers, you will learn about their experience with the plumber.
Tip #6. Ask the plumbing company about their cost.
It is necessary to look at the prices that you will pay the plumber for his services. Don't spend a huge amount of money to get the best services. Instead, get quotes from three to four plumbers and examine who fits in your budget. Still, don't for too low prices as the quality of services may suffer.

I often hear my pain patients express regret about treatments they chose in the past ("I should have never had that surgery") or remorse for the unhealthy lifestyle choices they've made, like smoking, avoiding exercise, or eating junk food. And sure, the treatment and lifestyle choices you made in the past do play a big part in determining your health – but so does the attitude you choose to have today. Your attitude can greatly impact how you respond to treatment, the way you are treated by others, and basically, whether or not you feel happy and fulfilled at the end of the day.
I see firsthand what differentiates successful patients from those who continue to struggle and suffer, and the one attitude or state of mind that always seems to correlate with positive outcomes is that of gratitude. That special quality of feeling grateful or thankful toward others or about life as a whole seems to carry with it unique healing powers. In fact, gratitude has been associated with a longer life, a better mood, and even a better immune system. In my clinic, those who smile the brightest are the ones who are the most grateful for what is positive in their lives despite their very challenging medical problems.
My patient Joe is a notable example of the power of gratitude and a positive attitude. He injured his neck while doing heavy-duty electrical work. By the time I first met Joe, he already had gone through neck surgery but unfortunately was not doing well, and to make matters worse he was fast approaching the deadline with his job. He would lose it if he did not return to full duty, and his job was very physical.
Joe had a family that was depending on him, and my team felt that we could provide a special intensive program for Joe that could help him turn things around and get back to work. But the only way to make the deadline was to start the treatment right away without waiting for the insurance approval (and running the risk of never getting paid for our efforts), so that is what we did, and Joe did not disappoint. He completed his program, made amazing progress, saw his pain diminish to low levels, and made it back to work before losing the job he loved. At the end of it, he gave me a thank you card that I will always cherish, including lottery tickets for "a chance at something great, which is exactly what you have given me." Joe made sure he let everyone involved know how thankful he was for their help.
Before we started treatment, Joe let me know that he was not only anxious about his situation, but also angry that his surgeon wrote him off as "fixed" even though he was not feeling better or able to function at a level that he hoped to reach. Certainly, his worry and irritation about his situation could have gotten the best of him and even impacted his ability to recover, but Joe was able to contain these thoughts and keep them from taking over. Let's take a look at some of the key thinking shifts that he made that helped fuel his success:
You probably never thought your attitude can make your pain go up or down, but in my experience, the right attitude can be a key ingredient toward finding relief.

About us
The RORG-network (in Norwegian: RORG-Samarbeidet) is a group of Norwegian NGOs doing Development Education (DE) in Norway. RORG is an acronym for the Norwegian word rammeavtaleorganisasjon (RammeavtaleORGanisasjon), which refers to an organisation with a framework agreement (rammeavtale) for multi-year funding for DE by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad).
The RORG-network was established in the early 1990ies at the joint initiative of both Norad and RORGs, which managed to develop agreements towards some levels of cooperation. Following agreement between Norad and the RORGs two part-time coordinators were employed in 1991, substituted from February 1992 with one full-time coordinator. The RORG-coordinator was entrusted with the task of coordinating activities and stimulating capacity-building within the RORGs, as well as facilitating communication between NORAD and the RORGs.
The main areas of co-operation within the RORG-network was:
- lobbying through political processes for increased funding and the strengthening of DE in Norway,
- pushing issues of common concern related to the NORAD administration of the framework agreements and
- stimulating debate on DE issues and to exchange information between the RORGs.
The RORG-network played an active role in promoting and renewing DE in Norway in the 1990ies, with a shift of focus from promoting and increasing development assistance to critical debate and engagement on broader North-South issues, stressing the importance of southern perspectives and North-South dialogue in DE.
The RORGs represent a wide diversity of Norwegian civil society, ranging from adult education associations of political parties, broad social movements like national women's´ and youth networks, as well as the church of Norway, the national confederation of trade unions and others, to internationally oriented organisations engaged in development aid, linking and twinning and international solidarity.
In 1999 the informal RORG-network was formalised with its own statutes/constitution, outlining its aims, procedures for membership and governing structures - promoting more and better DE in Norway.
In recent years around 50 NGOs have benefited from the framework agreements with Norad, of which most have been members of the RORG-network. In 2010 these RORGs received a total of NOK 35 million in Norad-funding for DE.
The extent of the DE work done by and in members organisation vary in the sense that some organisations are only doing DE in terms of annual campaigns and/or research work and research products, others have a department with dedicated staff to do DE in the organisations, for others the DE function is either a part time position of one person or part of other responsibilities in the relevant organisation. Other difference in terms of target groups, ideological and political differences, organisational cultures etc. both enrich and complicate the composition of the organisation and the work being done.
The means for doing DE include research publications, magazines, pamphlets, posters, policy interventions, public meetings, courses in formal and informal education, public awareness campaigns, exposure trips to the South, exchange programmes between Norway and persons/organisations from the South also visits by persons from the South to Norway etc. The topics and foci of activities and products differ from organisation to organisation and 'as needs may determine'.
The RORG-network runs one of the most comprehensive web-sites in Norway focussing on key and current North-South- and development issues. The site included a news service synthesizing debates, reports and developments quoting views and perspectives from developement actors, governemental and non-governmental, in the North and South. Below you will find links to some samples translated to english:
- East Europe Marching Ahead – wants more cooperation with the West and the South, rorg.no 19.09.08
- Development Policies – more than handing out aid billions!, rorg.no 15.09.08
- Aid Effectiveness = Development?, rorg.no 01.09.08
Norwegian Government policy on DE
(Extracts from the Report of the government-appointed Commission on North-South issues and Development Assistance (NOU 1995:5 Norsk sør-politikk for en verden i endring)
Norway is a co-responsible actor in a global society where poverty, unjust distribution, polution and the use of resources are challenges for a common responsability. A development that will ensure welfare and human dignity for all will increasingly have to be managed within global democratic structures.
Information and awareness-raising is important to induce changes, but also to create acceptance of such changes. The information work shall contribute to providing broad layers of the norwegian sociaty with knowledge of and insights into the global challanges facing us. The following up of the recommendations of the commission for Norways North/South policy depends on the positive support and understanding of public opinion. We have to acknowledge that we are in a process of global change that will require critical engagement and a search for new insights and new solutions. Information and awareness raising thus have to be understodd in a broader perspective aiming at stimulating active popular participation in these processes of change. It has to be a main goal for information and awareness raising to prepare a political will within broad layers of the population for the consequenses required by global sustainable development. Such a development will i.a. require a change to sustainbale production and consumption patterns, and changes in the unjust distribution of resources and wealth in the world. In such a process of change it is clear that there are both common and competing interests. If attitudes are negative, the danger will increase for changes being enforced through crisis, force and war.

Aims of Norad financial support for DE
(extract from Norad guidelines, approved by MFA in 2001)
The aim of the framework agreement arrangement is to enable a variety of Norwegian NGOs to carry out broad-based Development Education and awareness raising in Norway on north-south and development issues of current interest and importance.
The funding arrangement should furthermore stimulate:
- critical engagement and debate on current north/south and development issues,
- cooperation with the South and ensuring that perspectives and views from the South are drawn into DE,
- cooperation among Norwegian NGOs and other Norwegian actors,
- development of competence within the organisations, on DE as well as on north/south and development issues.
The arrangement is not intended to support information activities primarily aimed at promotion, fund-raising, marketing and project information.
