In our legacy website package (for customers before 01/05/2014), you receive up to five 250MB mailboxes. If you've opted for our new mailbox system with Google, you will need to be aware of the below:
- If you're happy to do so you can decide to start afresh without keeping your current emails that you may have stored in your old mailbox. There are pros and cons to doing this, you do get the quickest set up time (usually 2-3 working days). However, you will need to ensure you keep anything you may need from the old mailbox before you go ahead with the setup, as this will be deleted permanently.
- The second option is for our team to bring all the old mail over from the old mailbox into the new one for you, this is called a mail migration. It does add a couple of days onto the setup time, which means you can be without mail for up to a week, but it will ensure you don't lose any of your existing mail.
Please note that you cannot access your mailbox while the migration is in progress as this can cause disruption and delay the mailbox set up. If you need any help or advice on this, please call customer service on 0330-122-1010 (UK) / 844-411-0200 (North America) and we'll be happy to help you out.

I was following this Toyota Corolla down the Gateway motorway today travelling at 80kph
The Corolla was weaving inside its lane and then into the left lane. I moved into the LH lane when I could and pulled alongside the car. What did I see? A young lady using her mobile seemingly reading texts or watching something oblivious to the traffic around her. When will drivers understand that this is dangerous, life threatening and just bloody stupid
Memo to Qld Police Service – Change the rules.
If you don't have a hands-free device in your car the mobile phone MUST be in the glovebox.
Get caught first time $500 plus points.
Second time? $1000 and loss of device – now that will hurt.
Will that get through their thick heads?
Every article I write is targeted at providing as much information for car owners and prospective car buyers.
Above anything else, Car Business is a company that provides automotive advice for car owners who don't have access to experts. Am I an expert? I've been in the car business for over 38 years and whilst there are areas where I'll reach out to friends and acquaintances for advice, I've got a pretty good grasp of most aspects of the business. I've been called a lot of things in my time – Car Doctor, Car Professor or The Car Guru, but whenever someone wants some sensible advice, they call me.
I don't charge for advice, whether it's on the phone, via email or face to face. I'm happy to provide my expertise whenever I can. So if you want to chat to The Car Guru, get in touch. I have access to good quality cars – you can see them on Cars Guide. Just click here [Cars Guide] to view our current stock of vehicles.
Other parts of my business that you may find the need to use from time to time are:
www.genuinespares.com.au. This is an online spare parts store for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Volkswagen and Isuzu Ute. I've got thousands of mechanical and panel parts plus Mopar (Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Alfa) T-Shirts, tyres and alloy wheels as well. If you're looking for a hard to get part for any of these brands, or you just want to get a better price than retail on any car brand, let me know. And you won't pay inflated replacement parts prices either. I've priced my stock at a discounted value to compete with USA and Europe spare parts prices but with local delivery charges.
We're local agents for Williams Paint and Interior Protection as well as AutoGard and CleanGard car products and SunX window tinting. Same story applies. This is an area that car dealers want to make an amazing amount of profit – up to 100% in some cases. Don't get ripped off by the franchise car dealers – check us out for a competitive local price on car protection products, window tinting and engine products.
I'm pleased to advise that in 2015 I was awarded the franchise for 1800Approved Finance. As a local finance company we're able to provide a better level of service than the local car dealers as well as pretty competitive rates. SO before you sign on the dotted line, let us compare rates on finance and insurance for you – no obligation. If you're looking for finance for a new or used car, or any other worthwhile purpose our company can assist – even if you've had some troubling financial issues.
BLOG – I write a new Blog for my website a couple of times a week. If you'd like to read some of the stories I've written just click here.

Why do I have to wear a veil in the temple?
A friend asked me why I don't like being veiled in the temple. I asked him to imagine that the moment in the endowment when we speak directly to God, in the TRUE way, the he was asked to cover his face. I suggested that the next time his wife offered family prayer that he cover his head and face. I would be very surprised to hear that he actually took me up on that suggestion. I wouldn't either. Even saying it out loud sounded like blasphemy in my ears.
If the temple is the Lord's University, what am I supposed to learn from having my face covered. I admit, it would feel much worse if I wasn't allowed to speak, but I am, so maybe I'm overreacting? It would also be much harder to accept wearing a veil anywhere outside the temple. In defense of equality in Mormon religion, men and women do wear the exact same article of religious clothing outside the temple.
A veil separates us from God, so by wearing a veil are we closer to God?
Is there a parallel between wedding veils? The idea that a women being given in marriage (shudder) is pure and already closer to God that her male counterpart sounds suspiciously unequal to me.
Margaret and Paul Toscano present a fascinating exploration of the origins of veiling women in the Mormon temple ceremony.
Ideas that are not paradoxical tend to be sentimental, incomplete, and dogmatic. According to psychotherapist Scott Peck: "[I]f a concept is paradoxical, that itself should suggest that it smacks of integrity, that it gives off the ring of truth. Conversely, if a concept is not in the least paradoxical, you should be suspicious of it and suspect that it has failed to integrate some aspect of the whole" (1988, 238). The same can be said of symbols
As with all profound symbols, the face veil, worn as a headdress by women throughout the temple and used to cover the faces of women during a ritual prayer, reflects this dualism. The veil is a paradoxical symbol evoking both positive and negative associations.
Julie Smith breaks it down at Times and Seasons.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
This is a very important point. Why do women wear the veil? They do it as a symbol of power or authority. We would normally, when thinking of fallen humanity, think of power and authority resting with the male. However, when the woman veils her head (and I believe the suggestion is that she is doing this herself; she isn't being forced to do it nor is someone doing it for her), she is literally 'covering up' (or denying) the idea that man is her head. When the woman chooses to veil, she is choosing to exercise power or control over her head–physical and metaphorical. In the context of praying or prophesying, a veiled woman is one in a direct relationship with God–man is no longer her head. Further, remember that the veiling is not done all the time, but only while engaging in prayer or prophecy. This is important: it points out that, particularly while in that relationship, the woman has direct access to God and, as her physical head is covered, so her metaphorical head (i.e., man) is covered or denied. While some have interpreted Muslim (and other uses of the veil) as oppressive to women, this is a gross misreading of this particular text, where the veil is a symbol of women's liberation from man's headship.
I would love to hear your thoughts about the veil. Does it empower you? Does it irritate you? What is your interpretation?

Sol LeWitt: Not to Be Sold for More Than $100 explores the little-known but fascinating body of conceptualist pioneer Sol LeWitt's folded, torn, and cut paper works, which he created from approximately 1971 to 1980. LeWitt referred to these works as the "R" drawings (for rip) and also as "hundred dollar drawings," since he wanted them to be sold for $100 in perpetuity. "His wall drawings were already selling for thousands of dollars, so he wanted to have some artwork that everybody could buy," notes Jason Rulnick. Thanks to extensive research throughout various private and public collections around the world, this volume includes over 100 color plates. In the high-flying commerciality of the contemporary art world, LeWitt's intention and foresight for this body of work resonates more than ever.
Sol LeWitt (1928 – 2007) has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries worldwide since 1965. His prolific two and three-dimensional work ranges from wall drawings, over 1,300 of which have been executed, to photographs and hundreds of works on paper, and extends to structures in the form of towers, pyramids, geometric forms, and progressions. LeWitt helped revolutionize the definition of art in the late 1960s with his famous notion that "the idea becomes a machine that makes art." Reducing art to its essentials, the cube became the basic modular unit for his artistic inquiry—"the grammatical device." LeWitt achieved a major breakthrough in 1968 when he began executing drawings directly on the wall, using predetermined line-making procedures and materials normally associated with drafting or commercial art techniques.
Jason Rulnick is a Senior Specialist in Post-War and Contemporary Art at Artnet; he holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design. Veronica Roberts is curator of modern and contemporary art at the Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin. Previously, she served as Director of Research for the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings Catalogue Raisonné and in curatorial positions at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art. Her first exhibition at the Blanton was Converging Lines: Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt. She edited its accompanying book and has authored numerous essays on Sol LeWitt.


text: Photoluminescence (PL) properties are reported for a set of m-plane GaN films with Mg doping varied from mid 10(18) cm(-3) to above 10(20) cm(-3). The samples were grown with MOCVD at reduced pressure on low defect density bulk GaN templates. The sharp line near bandgap bound exciton (BE) spectra observed below 50K, as well as the broader donor-acceptor pair (DAP) PL bands at 2.9-3.3eV give evidence of several Mg related acceptors, similar to the case of c-plane GaN. The dependece of the BE spectra on excitation intensity as well as the transient decay behaviour demonstrate acoustic phonon assisted transfer between the acceptor BE states. The lower energy donor-acceptor pair spectra suggest the presence of deep acceptors, in addition to the two main shallower ones at about 0.23eV Similar spectra from Mg-doped GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by MOCVD are also briefly disussed.

The New Libertarian has posted the June 1st edition of their slick e-magazine. The headline story is "The Turtle Bay Puzzle Palace (PDF), Taking a closer look at the UN". It is quite amazing how well turned out and how simple to view these PDF files are now. They are much easier than creating web pages. Kerfuffles is a blog member of the Neo-Libertarian Network. Unfortunately the TLN has mispelled my name, and although I have contacted them about it, they do not seem to mind that grievous error. It is probably a Libertarian thing. I am just as bad when it comes to spelling Libertarian, which I constantly confuse the "a's" and the "e's". I suppose it is because I think of myself as having the political views of my "far removed" cousin Tom, the sage of Monticello. However, I did read the definition of a Neo-Libertarian at their site, and I qualified as I seem to be both a Pragmatic Domestic Libertarian (strong on defense), and a Big-Tent Libertarian.
Kerfuffles even has its own blog set up there at the TLN, check it out: http://www.qando.net/blogs/kerfluffles.aspx. How cool is that? Looks much more professional than the "real Kerfuffles".

The Annenbergs realized their eventual vision for Sunnydale, which was to turn it into the "Camp David of the West", where US legislators, presidents and international leaders could meet on peaceful, neutral ground in a warm, welcoming setting. Sunnylands has hosted such dignitaries as President Ronald Reagan, Queen Elizabeth, and President George H. W. Bush, among many others.
The nine acres of beautiful gardens are open to the public; the gardens are created to resemble an impressionist painting - Olive Trees by Van Gogh was used as the inspiration. You can enjoy over a mile of walking paths and discover over 50 different plant species that were arranged so their look varies by the season. Relaxation is encouraged with reflecting pools, a labyrinth, geometric plant grids, flowers and shaded areas.
Sunnylands Center is a 17,000 sq. ft. building where you can find out lots more about the estate and its architecture. You can also view selections of art that include sculptures from notables like Giacometti, Rodin and Arp along with other exhibits. Check the website for upcoming special events that include such things as Films on the Great Lawn, lectures and family workshop programs.
You can tour the estate on your own or schedule a guided tour; either way, a visit to Sunnylands is truly a one-of-a-kind experience you won't want to miss.

Revised Common Lectionary: Lamentations 1:1-6 or 3:19-26, or Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4; Psalm 37:1-9 or Psalm 137; Luke 17:5-10; 2 Timothy 1:1-14
Lamentations begins with the mourning of the destruction of Jerusalem; Zion now lies in ruins and Judah has gone into exile. It is a beautiful, sad poem of grieving, of loss, of what has happened because the leaders would not listen. Jerusalem is often personified as a woman weeping by the prophets, and other nations that Judah had relations with are called her lovers, as the people often turned away from God to follow their gods.
The selection from chapter 3 is also an alternative for the Psalm reading this week, a passage of hope in this short book of grieving after the fall of Jerusalem. The hope of the people is in God, whose love never fails, who will not reject the people forever, who has promised the people will return. The passage assures that God does not "willingly afflict or grieve anyone" (3:33) and we are reminded that it was the consequences of the people's actions that they were forced out in exile and the city destroyed; but the consequences of loving God is that God will remain faithful forever, and that God does not desire punishment, but restoration.
The reading from Habakkuk will also be repeated on November 3rd in the Revised Common Lectionary as an alternative reading. Habakkuk is known for his views on vision—moving away from the law because the people won't follow it, and moving instead towards vision. Vision gives us hope. Vision points the way. Vision says to live by faith, that though things are terrible now, God will see the people through if they wait in faith. The selection closes with "the righteous live by their faith." Living by faith is living with vision, a vision that moves us forward and points us in the right direction. It may take a while, but we will see that God has seen us through.
Psalm 37:1-9 sings of trust in God. If one trusts in God, they commit their life to God and to God's ways, and God will lead you through life. The psalmist reminds the listeners to remain faithful and to be patient, and not to turn to anger, wrath and revenge—those ways lead to evil, but remaining faithful to God will bring peace.
Psalm 137 sings of the destruction of Jerusalem from the people's perspective, rather than from the prophet's in Lamentations. The beginning words are familiar for many since they have been turned into songs in many cultures—the longing for one's home, though one's home no longer exists. The last verse, however, is often left out of readings, though it is included this time. The last verse speaks to the very human desire to have revenge, even to kills children and infants. It is a horrible verse, speaking to the horrible desire that we as human beings can have and the actions we are capable of. This psalm is a good contrast to the words of the prophets speaking for God, where revenge talk is minimized and restorative justice is what God desires.
Luke 17:5-10 is a short, somewhat funny passage of an interaction between Jesus and his disciples. I really think Jesus had a good sense of humor that has been lost through time and translation. I don't think Jesus was literally saying that if you had faith you could tell a tree to uproot and plant itself in the sea. He's responding in a ridiculous way to a ridiculous question by the disciples. They either have faith or don't. Nothing Jesus can do can increase their faith, they have to be the ones to trust in Jesus. So Jesus tells this little parable that's a bit ridiculous about a master and a slave, describing a common scene among the people and that in the class understanding of that day, there is no way a slave would eat at the table. Now, in other places, Jesus might have told this parable differently and talked about the first being last and the slaveowner inviting the slaves to the table, but that wasn't the point he was trying to make. He was just pointing out the obvious that if they follow Jesus and his ways, that should be enough to trust him and to have faith, just as a slave ought to do in their society of that day.
2 Timothy 1:1-14 begins with encouragement to the reader (most scholars don't believe this was written by Paul to Timothy but rather a disciple of Paul's), praising Timothy's faith, and acknowledgement that grace given by Jesus has been available since "before the ages began" (vs. 9). In other words, this Christ has been in the beginning with God and has been with God throughout time and history, revealed through the person of Jesus who has now risen, and is now being lived out through the gospel that Paul proclaims. Be faithful to Jesus but also to the teaching of Paul, for there are teachers of another gospel out there. The faithful life is not easy, and there is suffering, but God will see us through if we are faithful.
Faithfulness, endurance, patience—these are the themes of walking the faithful life with God. For the people in the prophet's time, it was to endure in faithfulness through generations in exile. In the time of Jesus, it was for the disciples to find their way to trust in Jesus, because Jesus couldn't just give them the ability to magically trust and be faithful. For Paul's day and following, it was for the followers to continue to live in faith by what they had been taught and had witnessed. For us, we are called to be faithful because of our tradition, our teaching, but also still, hope for the New Day, which began long ago and we can read through the prophets, through the Gospels, and through the Epistles: hope that God will continue to do a new thing, and that we will remain faithful to God. For World Communion Sunday, we remember that the Good News has spread throughout the world, and that we are called to remain faithful to God and to the ways of Jesus; to de-escalate from war and increase in faith, to walk in the ways of peace and to seek justice for all.
Call to Worship
Around the world, in all nations, the faithful have gathered for worship
We gather in this space to worship You, O God.
Around the world, speaking in all languages, the faithful come to pray together
We lift up our prayers to You, O God.
Around the world, using tortillas and pita, crackers and bread, the faithful remember Your body that was given to us.
We share in the meal of remembrance, O Christ our Savior
Around the world, we remember our brothers and sisters this World Communion Sunday
We worship, we pray, we remember and we celebrate our diversity and our unity in Christ.
Prayer of Brokenness/Confession
Holy God, we confess that we have not lived in unity. We have allowed the world's divisions of race and gender to separate us, to see another as inferior. We have judged other believers as unworthy. Forgive our ability to divide into "us against them" so quickly. Forgive our ability to judge others without seeing our own faults so readily. Forgive our ability to divide ourselves and separate ourselves rather than working for unity and justice. Forgive us, turn us back to You, and help us to seek Your ways, for You have remained faithful to us. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
Blessing/Assurance of Pardon
There is nothing that can separate you from God's love. Know that hope will see you through, and God's steadfast love endures forever. Go and live into God's love, peace and justice. Amen.
Jesus, Savior of the World, on this World Communion Sunday we come to You to celebrate, and to pause, remember, and give Thanks for Your Body and Blood given for us. We participate with our brothers and sisters all around the world, each with our own language and way of remembering that You gave Yourself for us. Until that day when You come in a new way into our world and into our lives, we celebrate Your presence now with us, together as Your body around the world, proclaiming Your death and resurrection together. In your Living name we pray, remember and celebrate. Amen.

Choosing the right addiction treatment and Aetna drug rehab facility for you can be challenging. Not only do you have to consider the type of treatment you need, whether you will stay close to home or attend a rehab in another area, and how your day-to-day affairs will be handled if you go to in-patient treatment, but you also have to consider the cost and whether your medical insurance policy will cover any of it.
Rally Point Palm Beach has made it easier for people who have medical insurance coverage from Aetna. We have partnered with Aetna to accept all in-network as well as out-of-network plans. That means that if you have an Aetna HMO you can attend Rally Point, in the beautiful Palm Beach setting, and your insurance will help you cover the costs.
Using your Aetna drug rehab insurance policy to attend our addiction treatment program will help relieve some of your anxiety and stress about how to pay for rehab treatment. The exact amount Aetna insurance will cover and how long you'll be able to attend depends on the insurance plan you have.

Overview of Aetna Drug Rehab Insurance
Aetna is a very well-known and reputable insurance provider that has about 46 million members across the U.S. Aetna provides members with health insurance coverage as well as behavioral health benefits. Drug and alcohol addiction treatment fall under the behavioral health umbrella.
Aetna insurance is active in all 50 states and has been in existence since 1850. It has more than 34,000 employees and more than 470,000 medical providers in its network. The company offers treatments for health insurance, dental insurance, and vision insurance.
As an addiction treatment facility that is in-network with Aetna, Rally Point Treatment Center accepts a huge number of Aetna insurance plans. If you are unsure whether your Aetna insurance provides coverage for drug or alcohol addiction treatment, we can help you determine if your insurance plan is accepted. You can also call Aetna directly to see exactly what your plan covers.
Aetna Coverage for Specific Addictions at Rally Point Treatment Centers
Aetna offers substance abuse disorder treatment for alcohol addiction treatment and all addictive drugs, prescription and illegal. The company covers a variety of different types of treatments that are provided by facilities that have been carefully screened and found to deliver high-quality care and sufficient follow-up care. Exactly what type of treatment programs Aetna will cover and to what extent depends on your specific insurance plan and benefits. Some plans require that you have a medical assessment before they will provide the coverage you need for addiction treatment. This is typically required when you need more intensive treatment like in-patient rehab treatment.
The types of substance abuse treatments that are usually covered by Aetna (fully or partially) include the following:
- Detox treatment
- Individual, family, and group therapy
- Drug testing
- Co-occurring disorders and mental health programs
Inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment may also be covered by Aetna plans, as well as some types of medication-assisted therapy. You will need to check your individual policy to see what is covered for you.
Length and Depth of Coverage
Deciding which addiction treatment program you need is the first step to getting help. Then you will need to find out whether your Aetna insurance plan will cover your choice, and to what extent. The length of time that people attend treatment varies on the person and his or her specific circumstances.
Aetna insurance approaches each case on an individual basis, rather than approving a set number of days that you can be in treatment. Speaking to an Aetna representative will help you gain insight of addiction treatment into what expectations you can have regarding your coverage.
Treatment Services Covered by Aetna Drug Rehab
Aetna insurance covers various types of addiction treatment services that range in intensity. The programs typically fall into either inpatient or outpatient treatment.
Inpatient Treatment
This is the most intensive type of alcohol treatment. It requires that you live at the rehab facility for a period of time for which you're under going treatment. While there, you will receive around the clock care, support, medication management, mental health diagnosis and treatment (if applicable), various types of therapies, coping skills, addiction education, 12-step meetings, relapse prevention, and much more.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatments are a step down from inpatient programs and they allow more freedom for clients. Outpatient programs allow individuals to incorporate treatment into their everyday lives around things like work, school, and family responsibilities. Many of the same services offered in inpatient programs are offered in outpatient treatment on a less intensive basis.
Finding Professional Help for a Benefits Check
If you aren't certain about what your Aetna insurance plan covers regarding addiction treatment, one of Rally Point's medical professionals can help you find out. We are happy to contact Aetna for a benefits check to see what your options are, so that we – you, Rally Point, and Aetna – are all on the same page regarding your insurance coverage.

Both my camera and computer are unable to read my Compact Flash Card. After putting the CF card in a card reader at work - it didn't seem to fit well - I was unable to download there. I then put it back in the camera and got the message " There is a problem with CF Card." I then took it home and tried it in my cf slot in my own computer and the computer just wasn't recognising the card as being there at all.
Have I permanently damaged the card and lost the hundred or so photos I took today at a School Carnival?

The retail day trader typically starts with a smaller balance and grand ambitions of turning trading into a longer-term profession. Since that plan may be to turn a $5,000 or $10,000 account into something that is 5 or 10X as large, it can be natural to view a withdrawal as a step in the wrong direction. Every penny you take out of an account is one that can't grow tenfold.
But that's the wrong way to look at it. In fact, taking a withdrawal is a critical step towards becoming a professional trader.
In this week's Coach's Playbook, the coaches talk about when traders should take a withdrawal and why. Enjoy.

I'm just beginning to learn OpenGL. With all of the tutorials I've seen, they demonstrate using a fragment shader to set the color of all the objects in view. What I haven't found yet is how you would use a fragment shader on just one of the objects, giving different objects different colors. How do you do that?
To provide background to the question, I'm drawing a simple scene with a house and a road in 2d. I have discovered how to set the colors of each of my objects (the main body of the house, the window, etc) using the fixed graphics pipeline, I just don't understand how to set the colors using fragment shaders.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated, including correction if I'm misunderstanding something.

Jakarta. 30 August 2018 - One of the professions or health workers who play an important role in Indonesia is a midwife who plays a major role in the efforts of maternal and child health. In addition to helping with the birth process, midwives also help control the development of the health of pregnant women from the beginning of pregnancy until delivery.
In addition the role of midwives to convey the benefits of breast milk (ASI) is very strategic because midwives have a lot of direct contact with postpartum mothers. Then the midwife becomes one of the axis of education to a mother for her baby, from starting a diet.
In harmony with this, Dr. Kirana Pritasari, MQIH, Director General of Public Health, KEMENKES RI revealed that, "The role of midwives shows that we also have to understand the feeding of infants and children, so it is not only a nutrition task," he concluded. Because in recent times many infants and children have diabetes due to feeding on children.
"Regarding to the issue of sweetened condensed milk, it is very important to understand, encouraging obesity due to sugar levels," he said.
Chairperson of the Central Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI) Dr. Emi Nurjasmi M. Kes, in the Midwife Forum, Thursday, August 30 2018 in Jakarta explained that Midwives have a very important and strategic role as a "spearhead" in advancing and improving the health status of pregnant women, infants and children under age five years (toddlers) especially in supporting the role of mothers to prioritize breastfeeding to their children.
"ASI is very important for the growth and development of children, ASI is as much as possible given to the new ones born" explained Emi.
Added breastfeeding and nutrition at 1000 HPK (270 days during pregnancy and 730 days / the first two years of a child's life), nutrition received by the baby while in the womb and receiving ASI has a long-term impact on life at adulthood.
Meanwhile Dr. Eni Gustina, MPH, as Director of Family Health, Directorate of Public Health of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia revealed many problems that could hinder the implementation of Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) including lack of awareness of the importance of Early Breastfeeding Initiation, Lack of counseling by health workers and lack of Early Breastfeeding Initiation practice.
"The family's strong belief that mothers need adequate rest after childbirth and breastfeeding is difficult to do and public trust does not allow mothers to breastfeed early before their breasts are cleaned," Eni explained.
Eni hopes that these obstacles can be eliminated by the role of midwives from the central to remote levels to convey appropriate information regarding the use of ASI.
He explained when the baby began to show an attempt to suckle, he would start licking his mother's skin. Good bacteria in the mother's skin enter the body, multiply to form colonies in the baby's intestines, rival bad bacteria from the environment. When the baby succeeds in sipping the same colostrum
with it swallowing thousands of body defense cells in colostrum. Colostrum is the first immunization for babies.
Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the Abhipraya Cendikia Indonesia Foundation (YAICI) Arif Hidayat in his remarks alluded to the presence of YAICI in the field, especially in rural mothers who have problems with their ASI and the difficulties in breastfeeding, giving sweetened condensed milk (SKM) for babies, just because they are consumed by misleading advertising and the price is relatively cheap compared to other milk.
"Advertisements for SKM in the media portray as nutritious milk drinks for children. This has shaped the wrong perception of the mother. "I think that SKM can be given to children who are toddlers," explained Arif.

Company offers medical pot testing, screening
As the medical marijuana industry continues to bloom in the Silver State, a new Las Vegas company dedicated to ensuring the purity of the drug is looking to do business with the Nye County medical pot industry.
DigiPath, Inc. supports the cannabis industry's practices for reliable testing, education and training within the industry.
Company officials gave a presentation to the Pahrump Senior Center on Feb. 10.
Dr. Cindy Orser, chief science officer for DigiPath Labs, has created a testing environment to ensure cannabis and cannabis-based products are safe for patients.
"The purpose of testing the marijuana is because it's being grown indoors and that's really not such a natural setting. Anytime you have that higher density of plants in a small environment where there is high humidity, you have the likelihood that they're going to be using pesticides to deal with insects and powdery mildew."
The testing process is a multi-step system where results can be produced in 48 hours.
DigiPath Labs CEO Todd Denkin noted that at present the service is exclusively for businesses in the medical marijuana industry for the time being, as testing for regular consumers may also come to fruition.
"Right now we could only do business with licensed medical marijuana establishments," he said. "According to state regulations, we have petitioned for being able to test patients' products. It's been turned down but they might pass it in the next legislative session."
As a natural herb, Orser noted that many people are not aware of the various compounds found in the plant when the cultivation process is underway.
Some pesticides used to cultivate marijuana can contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium.
The residue can be transferred into smoke when inhaled.
The tests also screens for mold and microbial bacteria.
Mold inhalation can cause fever, diarrhea, vomiting and respiratory problems. Moisture content is also screened.
Purity aside, Orser said DigiPath offers additional services for growers, including tests for the plant's potency, which she said is determined by the plant itself.
She noted 'cannabinoids,' or CBD's, are a class of chemical compounds contained in marijuana, which acts on the brain.
"There are many, many strains of marijuana and the genetics of the plant determine which cannabinoids are produced in the highest levels," she said. "You can also vary that by how you grow the plant. The potency depends on whether the plant is being grown to produce higher levels of CBDs, or higher levels of THC, which is psychoactive."
Denkin, meanwhile, pondered the future of the marijuana industry as societal standards become increasingly lenient.
He pointed to November's ballot question on the legalization of recreational marijuana for Nevada residents.
"I'm not only hopeful, I am confident that it will pass," he said. "I think the state has done a really good job in setting the table in preparation for recreational marijuana. I don't really like the term recreational, because it's all medical. It is a no-brainer based on revenue and based on the fact that 42 million people come to Las Vegas every single year. I believe this will become a marijuana destination and be known as 'Vegasterdam' in time."
Sarah Chapman, president of Nye County Consultants Association, began operations at 2780 S. Homestead Road location last year.
The organization was created to strengthen the medical marijuana industry in Nye County.
"We are going to be doing more educational events such as this one where different companies come out to Pahrump and explain their process and what all is happening in this new industry," she said.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
A past colleague of Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions has come forward to refute the claims that Sessions has worked hard for civil rights in Alabama, reported The Daily Beast.
Recently, Sessions and his racist past has received much scrutiny, causing him to defend any civil rights litigation he was responsible for. In one case, Sessions was responsible for the conviction of Henry Hays for lynching Michael Donald.
"When I became a U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, I, along with Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Figures and the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, worked to solve the [Donald] murder," Sessions wrote in his response to the Judiciary Committee questionnaire for his AG nomination. "Because the federal government did not have an enforceable death penalty at the time, I insisted that Hays be prosecuted by the local district attorney."
However, Thomas Figures has said that although they convicted Hays, who was a member of the KKK, Sessions wanted to drop the case several times.
"In the early stages of the case, Mr. Sessions did attempt to persuade me to discontinue pursuit of the case," Figures testified against Sessions's 1986 appointment. Figures said that Sessions would call the case a waste of time and said that "if the perpetrators were found, I would not be assigned to the case."

The question came about when I was browsing through the past papers and noticed that questions for recurrence relations (diophantine equations, first order and second order recurrence) only appear from May 2014 onwards.

Physics EE error analysis help
HKamal posted a topic in Extended EssayHello everyone, I am doing my ee in physics. I'll get straight into it without wasting anyone's time. So basically in my results after conducting the experiment I have two values for the electron to mass ratio of an electron (e/m ratio). The independent variable was changed in the experiment and it was conducted in two parts therefore leading to two values, one for each part. The values are: 1.96*1011 ±8.63*1010 2.01*1011 ±1.09*1011 Finding the values required using the gradient of the graph results. Therefore to get the errors the uncertainty on the graphs were calculated using the range (largest gradient - smallest gradient) and some propagation of errors was used as well. That was all good. Now, the uncertainty as you can see is very large about 50% for each value. There are reasons for that but that is also ok. First question: To get the discrepancy, I first need an average of the two values. To get the uncertainty on the average I just took the average of the uncertainties (add both and divide by two). Is this correct? Second question: Now that I got the average value I calculated the discrepancy to be 13%. My teacher said that I should check to see if this lies within the %error on my results and if it does then my experiment is accurate. But the problem is I got the %error on the averaged results to be 50%. Does this mean that my results are accurate and not precise? How can it be accurate if the %error is so large, the discrepancy is bound to fall into the range of the error. Hope someone can answer these confusions. I have my ee due in less than two weeks. Sorry for the long post.
Physics EE mass of an electron Help
HKamal replied to HKamal's topic in Extended EssayThank you for your thorough reply, I will have a discussion with my supervisor as soon as I can and discuss this. What exactly do you mean by variants to the Milikan experiment? Also how do you formulate a research question if there is no apparent relationship? p.s. I don't suppose you have example EEs from 2015 onwards. All the ones I find online are very old.
Physics EE mass of an electron Help
HKamal posted a topic in Extended EssayHey all, So I am doing my extended essay in Physics. I completed the experiment in my first year of IB and wrote about the method and theory as well. I have a few days left of vacations and I decided to continue working on it. Originally my experiment was about finding the mass of an electron. This consists of 1. finding the e/m ratio (charge to mass ratio) of an electron. This I have done and I have all the collected data. Basically there is an electron gun between two magnetic coils, centripetal force acts and the beam moves in a circle. 2. Milikan experiment to find the charge of an electron. This I left out as my supervisor advised that it would be too lengthy and its hard to get accurate results. The problem is my approach to the ee doesn't have an explicit "research" element. In the ee guide research questions are about how one thing affects another or the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable. Like how does the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound, or how does the viscosity of a medium affect terminal velocity. In my case the only variable I have is the radius of the electron beam formed. So the only RQ I can come up with is : How does the magnitude of the magnetic field and accelerating voltage affect the path of an electron moving through a magnetic field? However I fear this is too trivial (the stronger the field the smaller the radius) and it does not incorporate the e/m thing and the mass of an electron. My supervisor said that as long as there is a relationship between two variables it should not be a problem. I will discuss this again with my supervisor when school starts but as for now I want to know someone else's opinion. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hey all! So I have to hand in a draft of my written assignment for English A SL in the coming week. Our teacher can only give us feedback this once and there after we are on our own. I understand that it counts for 25% of the grade which is a lot so I don't want to compromise on this. I was looking at the assessment criteria and it is as follows: A: Reflective statement (3 marks)B: Knowledge and understanding (6 marks)C: Appreciation of writer's choices (6 marks)D : Organization and development (5 marks)E: Language (5 marks) I don't really get C: Appreciation of writer's choices. How do I show this in my essay. In the body I have basically three main paragraphs that prove the thesis statement. It is about a play so most of the content is just evidence through dialogue and behavior of the main character. How do I incorporate say the significance of this and this metaphor if it does not lead to achieving the goal of proving my thesis? And what if the play doesn't have that much in terms of writer's choices? What exactly is writer's choices? Also can someone outline what to write in the conclusion? I read somewhere here that you sum up your main points explain the significance of the final product and also come up with something new. Also if anyone has any tips generally with the WA or just essays in English it would be a great help to list them here, I haven't had much practise in school for essays and I don't feel very confident considering it is to be externally assessed. Thanks! Haseeb
One more thing, How exactly do you use the AOKs in the presentation. Do you give a perspective from the different AOKs or what? So in this case, if I use Religion and the Natural Sciences to give perspectives into how faith is justified with religion and defied by the natural sciences.
Ok man thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot! I will take your advice. One more thing, I am actually in a group of three. Do you think this would be enough content/broad enough for a presentation by three people? Regards, Haseeb
Content and structure TOK Presentation
HKamal posted a topic in Theory of KnowledgeHey all, I was hoping someone could enlighten me regarding the correct way of structuring a ToK presentation. So my real life situation is a theft where the victim blames the misfortune on black magic (superstition) My KQ is: How reliable are faith(superstition) and emotion as sources of knowledge/ways of knowing. I was wondering if this is too generic? Also I am in a group of three so I guessed it would be good to have a broad perspective. Basically it goes like this: Why is faith 'bad' (believing without evidence, dogmatism) Why is emotion 'bad' (obscures judgement, confirmation bias) Why is reason better (scientific evidence, logical) Counter arguments: Why is faith 'good' Why is emotion 'good' Why is faith 'bad' Is this a correct approach ? Also I am thinking of including some videos and maybe interactive elements to keep the audience awake. Regards, Haseeb
Need help for IO research
HKamal posted a topic in LiteratureHey all, So I have my IO this Monday. Individuals in our class work in pairs of two for the IO. We have read Medea by Euripides. My topic is as follows: Consider the ways in which Greek drama is constructed – how are dramatic conventions used and how do these differ from/are alike modern drama? Consider when, how, and where Greek drama was predominantly performed. In relation to this, consider Aristotle's definition of a tragedy. Now I have found out a little about the structure. There is a prologue and then the chorus enters. Thereafter there is an alternation between episodes (interaction between actors) and choral odes (songs/chants). At first I thought that Shakespearean drama is considered to be modern drama but its actually plays written in the 19th 20th centuries. I also noticed that Greek drama follows freyard's pyramid. I don't really get what dramatic conventions mean though. I have tried googling but its not clear. Could someone please shed some light on this? Also if someone has some general advice for the reflective statement and the IO it would help greatly. Thanks!
Thanks guys this is exactly the kind of response I needed!
I guess I could write once a week, but it would have to be checked by my teacher. I'll see if I can make an arrangement with her. What else would you propose apart from writing?
Unsatisfacactory IOP grade
HKamal posted a topic in LiteratureHey all, I just got my IOP grade for English A SL. I got 22/30 a grade 6. I was told that the grade does not matter at this point, only the points since they are added to the IOC points next year to get a grade. I also understand that the IOP is 15% of the grade and the IOP together with the IOC is 30% (right?). Anyway I knew it would be hard to hit a 7 but I am not really satisfied with what I got, I was expecting more. Is a 7 still within reach for my final grade? Need some motivation, I feel like this is a bad grade. I haven't had literature before the IB and it took me up until now to get a feel for what a thesis means and some of the literary devices. I am a science student but don't want my IB score to fall because of one subject. What would be a good approach to ensure a high final grade in English. I mean in Math and Physics I would generally just practise and solve exercises but I am not sure about English. p.s. I don't suppose it is possible to redo the IOP? Thanks!
Ok, so if I was to say: "Symbolism, diction and characterization in the story highlight the reality of the inevitability of death" I would have to modify this and relate it to the overall theme/message of the text: "Symbolism, diction and characterization in the story urges man to remember that death may come in any shape or form but its coming is destined;there is no escape from it." Something like this? Thank you for your help!
Yes, I think I get it What do you think of this thesis: "Symbolism, style of writing and the narrator's thought process highlight his devastated psychological state which helps make the readers sympathize with him." Here the literary devices are used to affirm his poor mental state (insanity) and this makes us feel sorry for him. Thank you for your input its really helpful!

Writing a blog entry like this is never straight forward, especially when you want to sum up 26 years in a few lines! John & Isabel Bennett have not only given 26 years to the work of Faith Mission in Canada but since beginning ministry from their time at the Faith Mission Bible College in Scotland they have given over 50 years of dedicated service to the Lord. Under God they have seen the work in Canada grow in terms of districts and workers, including 2 camp centres now fully used for Gospel ministry. These years have not been without their challenges and demands, yet they have held on to the promises of God and have seen God's marvellous provision across the work. We know that they would say 'To God be all the glory'. They have left a lasting legacy for the workers to carry on and we believe only eternity will reveal the impact made on many souls and on the church in Canada. We will be praying for them as we know they will be for us, that in this new era of the Mission we will see 'greater works' done for the glory of God and the extension of His Kingdom. Join us on Saturday, January 26, to give thanks for all God has done through this couple. Click Here to view the poster. Thank you for standing with us in the Gospel.
Yours in His service.

So did you catch it? Shoot it? Pluck it? Draw it? Interrogate your butcher about it to such a degree that you could put together a Crimewatch profile on it? Or even (oh the shame, the shame! ) pick it up off a supermarket shelf? If the answer is yes to that last, I'm pretty sure that the world and your kitchen will keep spinning. Of course I'd prefer it to be wild rather than farmed, and from an independent supplier, but really all that matters is that you have got your game and you are going to cook it beautifully. Aren't you?
Some pointers:
1. Game is generally very lean. This is a good thing on the health front, but can be a bad thing on the taste front as it is easy to dry it out when cooking. Think about frequently basting your meat as you cook; maybe laying some rashers of bacon over a bird whilst it is roasting to retain the moisture; and when roasting or grilling be aware not to cook it for too long. Game birds, hare, venison and duck can be served slightly pink.
2. Younger birds will have more tender flesh than older ones (I trust you are ignoring any temptation to make a slightly sexist and ageist pun here) so cook them in ways that will bring out their best. Younger game are suited to quick roasting or grilling; older game should be destined for casseroles, braises and slow roasts.
3. Game carcass will make amazing stock.
4. When looking for recipes, remember that most beef recipes will suit venison and likewise chicken for rabbit.
5. Rabbit livers and kidney are delicious.
Over the next few weeks I will be writing a handful of recipes that are intended to show the diversity of ways that you can prepare game. There will be potted rabbit and roasted pigeon, but first up is a venison braise.
This is one of those dishes that you dream of coming in from the cold to. On Bonfire Night a few years back I popped this into the oven just as we were heading out to watch the fireworks. We returned home a few hours later to be greeted by the incredible smells of venison and red wine sharing their flavours with the juniper and the orange and all the other wonderful ingredients that were in the pot with them. This recipe will give you quite a heavy red wine sauce. I love it that way and a mash of any kind will eagerly lap it up, but if you think you might prefer something lighter then exchange some of the wine for stock.
Ingredients to serve four:
2tbsp port
2tbsp red wine vinegar
olive oil
600g diced venison
3 tbsps flour
60g butter
2 medium onions, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 sticks celery – finely chopped
140g cubed pancetta / bacon
100g chestnut mushrooms – chopped small
16 juniper berries
3 cloves garlic
4 sprigs thyme
1 tsp mace
2 bay leaves
About 550ml red wine – I suggest you open a bottle, pour yourself a glass and then use the rest to cook with. If the wine isn't good enough to want to drink it, then you definitely shouldn't be cooking with it.
A broad slice of orange zest, with as little of the bitter white pith as you can possibly manage.
Marinade the venison in the port, red wine vinegar and 2 tbsps of olive oil. Ideally do this overnight but if a few hours is all you have then that is definitely better than nothing. When it is time to start cooking your braise, pat the meat dry with some kitchen roll and do not throw away the marinade liquid. Put the oven on at 150 electric / 300 fahrenheit / gas mark 2.
Roll the meat in flour that you have seasoned with salt and pepper – this will help make the sauce nice and thick. Now put a large casserole pot (one that has a lid) onto a high heat with about three-quarters of the butter and 2 tbsps olive oil. When hot, sear the venison in handful batches. Move them around in the pot so they brown evenly and then remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.
Turn the heat down a little and add the rest of the butter, then the onion and the celery. There will inevitably be some tasty bits stuck to the bottom of the pot from the venison and you don't want to miss out on those or burn them, so scrape them off with a wooden spoon while the onions are tenderising.
Just as the onions and celery are getting soft and a little brown, put in the pancetta/bacon and the mushrooms. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes – the bacon will be just starting to crisp and the veg will have cooked down.
Whilst that is happening, crush together the juniper berries, thyme leaves and garlic with a good pinch of salt. Stir those in with the onions etc so that the heat can start to release their flavours.
Your pot will by now probably have more deliciousness stuck to its base, so deglaze it with a little of the red wine and repeat your wooden spoon action. Add the mace and return the venison to the pot.
Pour over the red wine and the reserved liquid from the marinade. You need to just about cover the meat so that it doesn't dry out. If you haven't got quite enough red wine then add a little stock if you have some to hand, or just water will do as you shouldn't need much. As I said earlier, you could swap some of the wine for stock to give you a lighter end result.
Stir everything together with a couple of good grindings of pepper, finally adding the bay leaves and orange zest. Put the lid on and cook in a slow-moderate oven for about 3 hours. Stir partway through and remember to remove the bay leaves and orange zest at the end.
This venison braise is really lovely served with mustard mash, celeriac and potato mash, celeriac and apple mash, plain mash… You get the idea. A green vegetable is a good idea too – maybe a savoy cabbage that has been lightly cooked in stock and a squeeze of lemon.

Civil war has been the normal state of affairs in Somalia for some two
decades. Following the ousting of dictator Siad Barre in 1991 local
warlords fought for power throughout the country. Thousands of people
were killed. In 1995 the first UN intervention took place but failed to
restore peace.
In their search for a normal life, many Somalis, the majority of them
Muslims, turned to religious authorities. Islamic courts were set up
which restored a certain amount of law and order. Some of these courts
united to form the Union of Islamic Courts (ICU). They chased the
warlords out of the capital Mogadishu and in 2006 took over control of
much of southern Somalia. A radical section of the ICU also threatened
to seize Ethiopia's Ogaden territory. Ethiopia, backed by the US,
responded militarily and drove out the ICU. This second military
intervention from outside was again viewed critically by much of the
Somali population.
That was the moment when the small radical group al-Shabab became
popular as a result of its resistance to the foreign forces, says Markus
Höhne, a Somalia researcher at the Max Plank Institute in the German
city of Halle. "The growth in popularity of such small splinter groups
has a great deal to do with the total failure of anti-terrorism measures
in Somalia," Höhne told DW.
Foreign fighters
In 2009 Ethiopian troops withdrew from Somalia. The battle between
al-Shabab and the new Somali transition government continued. By then,
at the latest, the population at large realized that al-Shabab had many
faces, it was not a homogenous group. The radical wing carried out
attacks against the Somali population and imposed Islamic law, the
sharia, in a brutal manner.
"The other part of al-Shabab only followed because the radicals were the
only ones who managed to establish some kind of law and order, peace
and stability," said Mehari Mehu from the Institute for Security Studies
(ISS) in Addis Ababa. "They later left the group again but the part
that was left has an international orientation. It is inspired and
controlled by al Qaeda."
News agencies report that the US Justice Department has information that
al-Shabab has been recruiting members in the US since 2007.
In 2012 the Kenyan police launched a manhunt for a German national
believed to have links to al-Shabab. The group receives financial
backing from wealthy individuals in the Middle East who are seeking to
further their own ideologies, says Mehari Maru.
Al-Shabab 'more dangerous than ever'
In 2011 al-Shabab lost ground in Somalia. Kenya's government had become
active in the conflict and declared war on the group, after the militias
had been held responsible for the kidnapping of foreigners in Kenya.
Al-Shabab reacted with attacks in both Somalia and Kenya, culminating in
the siege of the Westgate shopping center in Nairobi.
Markus Höhne says that in recent months a radical wing has gained
strength within al-Shabab. Its followers are focused less on Somalia and
more on a global jihad or holy war. "Al-Shabab is by no means defeated
but is actually more dangerous than ever," Höhne told DW.
Mehari Maru from the ISS disagrees. He points to the fact that a few
years ago the group controlled large parts of Somali territory but is
now concentrating more on individual attacks. For Maru this is a sign
that the group has become weaker, although he admits that al-Shabab's
ideology is not bound by national borders and therefore represents a
global threat.

Linux Interview Questions – Part 6
1. What is Exim Service? What is the purpose of this Service?
Answer : Exim is an Open Source Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) which deals with routing, receiving and delivering of Electronic Mail. Exim service serves to be a great replacement of sendmail service which comes bundled with most of the distro.
2. What is NIS server? What is the purpose of NIS Server?
Answer : The NIS server, serves the purpose of dealing with Network Information Service which in-turn facilitates to login to other Systems with same log-in credentials. NIS is a directory service protocol which functions in Client-Server Model.
3. What will you prefer for a reverse proxy in Linux?
Answer : Reverse Proxy refers to the type of proxy that retrieves resources on account of client from server(s). The solution of 'Reverse Proxy' in Linux is squid as well as Apache reverse Proxy. However 'squid' is more preferred than 'Apache reverse Proxy' because of its simplicity and straight forward nature.
4. You are getting following codes (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) in Apache, at some point of time. What does this means?
Answer : In Apache each error code points towards a specific area of problem.
- 2xx : Request of connection Successful
- 3xx: Redirection
- 4xx: Client Error
- 5xx: Server Error
5. You are asked to stop Apache Service through its control Script. What will you do?
Answer : The Apache service is controlled using a script called apachectl. In order to stop apache using its control script we need to run.
# apachectl stop [On Debian based Systems] # /etc/inid.t/httpd stop [On Red Hat based Systems]
6. How is 'apachectl restart' different from 'apachect1 graceful'
Answer : The 'apachect1 restart' when executed will force Apache to restart immediately, before the task complete whereas 'apachectl graceful' will wait for the current task to be finished before restarting the service. Not to mention 'apachectl graceful' is more safe to execute but the execution time for 'apachect1 restart' is less as compared to 'apachectl graceful'.
7. How will you configure the nfs mounts to export it, from your local machine?
Answer : The /etc/export allows the creation of nfs exports on local machine and make it available to the whole world.
8. You are supposed to create a new Apache VirtualHost configuration for the host www.Tecmint.com that is available at /home/Tecmint/public_html/ and maintains log at /var/log/httpd/ by default.
Answer : You need to create a Apache virtual host container in main apache configuration file located at '/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf'. The following is the virtual container for host www.tecmint.com.
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /home/Tecmint/public_html ServerName www.Tecmint.com Server Alias Tecmint.com CustomLog /var/log/httpd/Tecmint.com.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/Tecmint.com.error.log </VirtualHost>
9. You are supposed to dump all the packets of http traffic in file http.out. What will you suggest?
Answer : In order to dump all the network traffic, we need to use command 'tcpdump' with the following switches.
# tcpdump tcp port 80 -s0 -w http.out
10. How will you add a service (say httpd) to start at INIT Level 3?
Answer : We need to use 'chkconfig' tool to hook up a service at INIT Level 3 by changing its runlevel parameter.
chkconfig –level 3 httpd on
That's all for now.

Realism depicts the world, its events, and people as they really are. There is no personification of people as mythological beings, no one is glorified, romanticizing anyone or anything is out. Realism is a social commentary on the world in which we live. Artists took the common and ordinary, and elevated them to a higher status.
The focus of Realism is on the common man. For too long the workers, peasants, and laborers of life were never the subject of art. Why? For one thing, common people never had the money to commission works of art. No rmer could trade crops for a portrait of himself rming, for instance. Nor did common people have the money to go to museums, Salons, or Academies of Art. And this despite up the vast majority of people on Earth.
Artists like Gustave Cour felt the need to depict ordinary people and show the rest of society what their lives were like. It was social commentary, pure and .���ζ�������ˮ�۸�.���ζ���Ʒר����.���ζ����Ĺ���.
