Dover, DE (April 7, 2021) – Mothers and maternal figures are the cornerstone of every home, community, and society. Just in time for the upcoming Mother's Day, Gya Labs has introduced two new products: Rose Otto Essential Oil and Rose Bulgaria Hydrosol, both based on the ever-popular rose flower. This release comes hot on the heels of Gya Labs' recently released new skincare and body care product lines, on top of the existing pure essential oil collection, featuring products newly launched on the Amazon storefront and on the website.
Cultures around the world have traditionally attributed the meaning of love to the rose, and the first type of love everyone experiences is that from their mothers. With that in mind, Gya Labs introduces the luxurious rose otto essential oil. Rose otto essential oil is derived from the steam distillation of rose petals, yielding a thin oil that captures the precious scent of the familiar rose. Gya Labs recommends using this to complement an aromatherapy practice, either by adding 2-3 drops to an aroma diffuser (or as per the appliance's directions) along with other essential oils for relaxation in the evenings or to add a drop to any skincare product and use as usual for an elevated self-care experience. Purported benefits antibacterial and antifungal properties, as well as the ability to decrease anxiety, stress, and menstrual symptoms, so mom can rest easy and feel good anytime.
Also launched this month is Gya Labs Rose Bulgaria Hydrosol. Hydrosols differ from essential oils due to the different process which results in different botanical compounds retained in the solution. For rose hydrosols, rose petals are steam distilled, from which the rose otto is extracted separately and the hydrosol remains. This delicately-scented liquid has a myriad of benefits while offering similar aromatherapy benefits to that of rose otto essential oil. Gya Labs recommends a refreshing spritz all over the face as a facial toner which soothes dry or sensitive skin types. Moms will love refreshing the home or car with its refreshing aroma too, and people have even used it as a pillow mist to hopefully induce rose-scented dreams.
Gya Labs wishes all mothers and mother figures out there a happy Mother's Day! Gya Labs current collection encompasses a range of pure and blended aromatherapy oils, carrier oils, skincare, and body care products aimed at uplifting simple routines at home into enjoyable, transformative self-care experiences for every person. Shop Gya Labs aromatherapy range online where orders above US$70 enjoy a discount of 15% off and free shipping. Terms and conditions apply.
Gya Labs aims to promote self-care and uplift everyday experiences with a curated collection of aromatherapy and personal care products. Our customer-centric approach to design and wellness has led a core selection of signature essential oils and blends.

Listen to this story here
For her BA in Christian Ministries at Steinbach (Man.) Bible College, Helena Fehr completed a practicum with the Mennonite Brethren Church of Manitoba, researching accessibility and accommodations for people with disabilities in our churches.
The MB Herald asked the member of South Park MB, Altona, Man., who was born fully blind, to share her experience in, and advice for, churches.
What barriers do you face in attending church?
I feel like I don't really know the people. Before and after the service, there are hundreds of conversations going on at the same time. Contrary to the myth about blind people having such good memories, I won't always remember the person's name or recognize them by their voice.
On the surface, people at church and I don't have a lot in common. Most are married and have children, even grandchildren; they have jobs, go camping or on trips. I live alone and stay home on my computers and Audible books. And there isn't a lot of time at church to figure out what we do have in common.
How can churches remedy this so blind people feel more welcome?
We need to be more intentional about getting to know each other.
We may need to reintroduce ourselves many times or go somewhere where we can sit down and chat – which will take effort on both our parts.
Ask as many questions as it takes, no matter how silly they sound. It's less awkward if we admit when we don't know something rather than pretending.
What about practical things that would make church a better experience?
It would help if printed materials were made available in alternative formats. (For example, emailing the bulletin and song lyrics allows people to expand the font size or listen to the words on their phone or tablet.)
Many blind people have other disabilities which prevent them from getting secondary education or a job. If the church could help raise funds for the assistive equipment and software their members with disabilities need, that would mean a lot.
Churches could consider becoming a free access point for Aira or purchasing the app for individuals. Aira agents see a blind person's surroundings for them through their cellphone camera or smart glasses to help them navigate buildings, arrange transportation, and interact with others.
Providing transportation to and from church would also help. Taxis and Handi-Transit services, if they are available at all, are expensive and inconvenient. It's nice to sit in church without worrying how one is going to get back home.
In the end, finding out what each person needs by asking them these kinds of questions will help the most.
What do you wish the church understood about the experience of being blind?
I don't want them to be afraid of me. I have a different way of getting to know people than they do, but that doesn't mean I can't get to know them at all.
And it's okay with me that I'm blind. I've been this way all my life. It's just who I am, with my Fire Stick and Alexas and VoiceOver – stuff they might not have a clue about, any more than I have a clue about colours or driving or what dresses go with what shoes.
We can all walk into each other's worlds, learn about each other's worlds, and make jokes about ourselves. When we get over the awkwardness and stop being afraid of it, we learn that it's not so bad.
We might find that I can help the church use technology, and I bet I could use some help with hair and makeup – and I could use the company too.
Then it's not just one person doing all the giving or one person making all the effort. We all win something, and nobody really has anything to lose.

Freelance in Modern Russian Society: Job Search Through the Internet and by Means of the Internet

Freelancing is largely based on finding a job through the Internet and by means of the Internet, which allows you to open up new opportunities for the Russian economy and make structural changes to it. But the attitude of Russian society to the new form of employment is still poorly understood. At the moment in Russia, freelancing is at the stage of development and its further development depends on the attitude of the society towards this type of employment. Today, Russian society is undergoing especially important changes in connection with the pandemic, which turned out to be an unexpected test for every person, as well as for the whole society. The self-isolation regime has strongly affected the economic spheres of life, confronted companies with remote work, and people with an understanding of all the positive and negative aspects of working outside the office. The hypotheses put forward have been partially confirmed. In modern Russian society, the attitude towards the freelancers is rather neutral, but the share of positive assessments is also high. A small proportion of respondents expressed a negative attitude towards the freelancers, which indicates an overall good attitude towards freelancing. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to identify the attitude towards freelancing in modern Russian society.

Donald Trump rode into office on a promise to step up scrutiny of immigrants who might come to the US to commit terrorist acts — especially Muslims. Now, thanks to transition team member and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, we're getting a sense of what that might look like.
Kobach told Reuters that the Trump administration-in-waiting is considering reinstating a database of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries — something the federal government did from 2002 to 2011.
The Kobach proposal isn't the same thing as the database of Muslim US citizens that Trump briefly floated (and then walked back) last year. It's subtler — and that makes it a lot more plausible.
The difference between a "Muslim database" and a "database of particular people in the US from particular countries, which happen to be majority Muslim" might seem like a meaningless distinction, something to give a gloss of neutrality to something clearly discriminatory. But that gloss of neutrality matters a lot. It's the reason the federal government was able to keep a database for a decade. And it's probably the reason you might not have known that database existed at all.
The Bush-era registry that just happened to target majority-Muslim countries
Kobach knows exactly what he's talking about. As a staffer in George W. Bush's Justice Department after 9/11, he led the effort to put together the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS.
Under NSEERS, certain "foreign citizens and nationals" in the US had to come into immigration offices for fingerprinting, photos, and interviews — and then had to check in again at designated intervals.
But this "special registration" system was selective. It only applied to people on non-immigrant visas (including tourism and work visas). It only applied to men over the age of 16. And it only applied to people from a list of countries the Bush administration considered "havens for terrorists."
There were 25 countries on the "special registration" list. Twenty-four were majority-Muslim countries. The 25th was North Korea.
Over the next decade, more than 80,000 men were put into NSEERS "special registration" database — Muslims and non-Muslims from suspected countries alike. But to Muslim American and civil rights groups, the fact that the Bush administration was responding to 9/11 by ordering thousands of Muslim men to show up to register with the government was de facto discriminatory.
Courts have given the US a lot of leeway in singling out people from particular countries
The executive branch has pretty broad authority over immigration policy, and it has very broad authority over foreign policy. When the federal government enacts an immigration policy that has foreign policy consequences, the courts are especially unlikely to intervene.
So when the government designates people from particular countries for special treatment, according to Kevin Johnson of University of California Davis, "those are the kinds of things the courts are likely to say have foreign policy implications and should be in the hands of the federal government and the executive branch."
In other words, it might not be constitutional for the government to single out Muslim immigrants for particular treatment. But it's another thing for the government to single them out on a country-by-country basis — "to say 'I'm going to ban migrants, or Muslims, even, from Yemen,'" Johnson says.
So while NSEERS got challenged in court, the challenges didn't get very far. One 2006 ruling in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, according to an essay by Nitin Goyal (then a law student), "specifically [cited] the national security justifications for the regulation and the special deference given to the executive and legislative branches over issues of immigration."
It's theoretically possible that 15 years after 9/11, the courts would be less deferential. But the fact that NSEERS didn't only require Muslims to register — and that, in fact, non-Muslims also got deported for failing to comply with the program's terms — made it easy for the government to claim its only concern was with the countries from which immigrants originated, not their religion or race.
NSEERS was an easy way to scoop up Muslim immigrants for minor violations
The Department of Homeland Security says that NSEERS allowed it to catch and deport suspected terrorists. But according to the American Civil Liberties Union, no one registered with NSEERS was ever actually convicted of a terrorism-related crime before deportation.
What NSEERS did do, however, was provide an easy way to catch Muslim men (and non-Muslim men from Muslim countries) in the US who violated the terms of their visas, or of the "special registration" program itself.
By July 2003, less than a year after NSEERS went into effect, the government had registered 83,000 men in the database — and had put 13,000 of them in court proceedings for deportation. In the first two months of NSEERS, 1,000 registrants were detained, and all but 15 of them were detained for civil violations.
Most of these men had violated the terms of their visas at some point while living in the US — though thousands of them had applied for green cards before they registered with NSEERS, and just hadn't had their applications approved yet.
In theory, the purpose of NSEERS was to catch terrorists, not people who'd violated civil immigration laws. But visa overstays were what the government found. And visa overstays were what it punished.
"A non-immigrant visitor who overstays a visa, is present without inspection, [or] commits a crime or fraud is just as removable under those grounds as terrorism grounds," a government fact sheet on the program proclaimed.
Immigrants who didn't comply with NSEERS (by, for example, not showing up to follow-up appointments) could be deported. But people registering with NSEERS, and giving their information to the government, made it easier to deport someone who then overstayed his visa than it would have been to deport him if he'd refused to register at all.
The Bush administration occasionally conducted raids (like one of an Indonesian community in New Jersey in 2006, detailed in a 2012 report by Penn State Law and advocacy groups) that rounded up and deported dozens of men who'd overstayed visas, but not their wives and children — leading the rest of the community to assume that the information the men had given to NSEERS allowed them to be detained and deported.
The Obama administration suspended "special registration" — but didn't fully dismantle it
Theoretically, the NSEERS program was supposed to be expanded to visa holders from all countries. (That's another reason the US government argued it wasn't discriminatory.) But it wasn't. Instead, in 2011, the Obama administration removed all 25 countries from the "special registration" list — suspending the program.
The suspension was treated as a civil rights victory. But the government didn't end special registration itself; it just didn't apply to any particular countries anymore.
Furthermore, the stated reason for killing NSEERS wasn't about discrimination. It was about database redundancy. The government pointed out that in the years since 2002, it had implemented other programs that collected information about people entering and leaving the US, so it could stop using NSEERS without losing any data.
This is true, but it doesn't mean that NSEERS — or a new program along similar lines — wouldn't do anything. The US government still doesn't have a reliable way to track visa overstays (something that immigration hawks have complained about for years). By requiring check-ins for "special registration" subjects, the government had an easy way to apprehend someone who had accidentally overstayed a visa (or had slipped between the cracks in the past before getting a new one).
The worst-case scenario for NSEERS — a mass expulsion of everyone in the database from the US — never materialized. It would have been very hard to do. Instead, NSEERS was used as an easy way to identify and scoop up people who hadn't followed every step of the process perfectly, who just happened to come from countries the US considered dangerous.
The "Muslim registry" won't be called a "Muslim registry"
The Trump administration might not take Kobach's suggestion to reinstitute a database of Muslim immigrants — Kobach simply told Reuters that the transition team was considering a proposal along those lines. And if they do, it might not look identical to NSEERS.
But the NSEERS precedent matters not just as a guide to what a "Muslim registry" might look like but as a reminder: It won't be called a "Muslim registry" at all.
On the campaign trail, Trump didn't have a problem endorsing racism and discrimination. But when he said something that appeared to cross a constitutional line, he was more likely to walk it back. He took back comments about making soldiers engage in war crimes, for example. And he slowly tweaked the idea of the "Muslim ban" so that it was no longer "about religion," and instead focused on "terror-prone regions."
Back in November 2015, Trump was asked if he'd require Muslim citizens of the US to register, and said, "Absolutely ... they have to be." He never brought it up again, and his campaign "clarified" that he didn't mean it. Now that Trump is president-elect, the Muslim registry isn't being reanimated — it's being reshaped into something that not only could pass constitutional muster but also isn't even unprecedented.
A lot of people didn't know about NSEERS when it was in effect. That's not a reason not to care now. It's a reminder that when policies are actually implemented, they're rarely as crude and legally dubious as a politician like President-elect Trump makes them sound — and that makes it harder for them to be challenged, either in court or in the public eye.

Anytime there is market uncertainty in a candidly really market chaos, I always advise the local businesses that I work with to go on an ethical money grab. And what I mean by ethical money grab is that people do some really, really crazy things when the economy gets dicey. They do things from heavily discounting things to giving stuff away for close to free, to really just trying to grab whatever cash they can.
What you will learn today is all about bundling and getting your customers to prepay in advance for more profits.
If you're in a market that is really at all competitive, you've got to know that your competitors most likely are not going to be operating from a logical standpoint—they're going to be operating out of a completely fear mindset. You may very well be in that exact same mindset yourself as well.
However, cash is king at any time when things just get so crazy that you really don't know what some of the next steps are going to be or what's going to happen next.
Here is one thing I want you to consider. Personally, I'm a huge fan of bundling. Now, while this is a strategy that you should be using in your business, regardless of any situation, let me explain it to you a bit and let me show you how it's going to put your business in a little bit of a different category than everyone else.
For example, you own a landscaping business and you're trying to start to get customers for weekly lawn care. Now, if you know anything about the landscaping business, it's pretty easy to get started. I mean, you really just need basic equipment. You don't even need a truck, as I have seen some people use cars and vans, and they put a mini trailer with literally a standard lawnmower. I mean, it's pretty easy to get started. And even on the commercial side, there are quite a few landscapers who have this kind of business as a fallback business. I hate to say that term but it tends to be one of those businesses that when you're sitting around and you're trying to brainstorm what type of business you want to get into, landscaping often tends to come up as one of those on top of the list.
Now, if you know that all of your competitors are going to be doing the same type of offers, they're going to try and get people in for weekly cutting, they're probably going to do similar things. They're going to potentially give out flyers in the neighborhood. They might use some door hangers or if they're a little bit savvier, they're going to try Facebook ads. If they're even savvier, they're going to use Google AdWords or YouTube ads. But usually, landscaping companies and in particular, companies that are focusing not on the higher end landscaping but rather weekly grass cutting, they tend to love flyers. It's an easy thing to do flyers or door hangers, but usually flyers. I think I've probably already gotten 10 different kinds of offers in the last week and I've got a couple of them on my desk, as we speak. However, they're all essentially identical. By identical I mean they're all saying free estimates. One of them has 10% off for the season if you prepay which I like that first cut free or satisfaction guaranteed but everything from one to the other is essentially identical.
There's one I got a couple of weeks ago which basically stood out from the rest, giving him or her a good jump on the market. It was offering not only satisfaction guaranteed, but he/she guaranteed they will beat any price that you're comparing apples to apples. Didn't literally say apples to apples, but will beat any comparable service price. So if someone's coming in at $20 to cut the lawn each week, he'll come in at least 10% less. So that was what caught my eye and I actually really liked these kinds of offers.
Here's what I want to throw at you in this kind of economy. What could you bundle with your offer that would completely separate your flyer from the pack? Now, this isn't an episode on building a great flyer, this is about how to bundle for more profits.
As a customer, what I'm interested in is something like free power washing at the start and the end of the season. Free window washing, now you can use the word free but you clearly can bundle it into your pricing. You've got to make sure that the wording is appropriate. And I love to show that it's free, even though again, you're bundling it into your price.
So whereas all the other people might be charging $25 a week, you're charging $30 for example. Just a sample pricing since I know there's different costs for power washing. But you get the picture that I'm looking for you to bundle in something that is quite different, but it's complementary to what you're offering.
So again, they don't want more of the same. What I don't want you to do is while you're going to bundle in all the lawn care, and then you're going to try and bundle in a few offers. You can bundle in snow service from your usual lawn mowing service if you're in an area that snows a lot, unless, you've got some really insanely high prices for a weekly lawn cutting, you couldn't afford to give people snow service for the season bundled in. So I'm looking for you to just think a little bit outside the box and just see if there is something that you could bundle in.
If you own a childcare center, what could you bundle in with the tuition? Could you bundle in something that's completely different? For example, once a month, the family is going to get a gift card so they can probably order meals in or something like that. I've seen a lot of companies partner with some of those different meal delivery companies that like that the family meals and things like that, for some reason, all the names are escaping me at this very moment in time.
What could you bundle in again, that is not just an add on? More so, something that your competitors are not doing.
If you were offering power washing, we're going to power wash your driveway or we're going to power wash your windows. What could you bundle in? Could you bundle in gutter cleaning, for example? Your pitch could be something like, "So while we're power washing your windows, we're going to make sure that we clean your gutters for you as well and we're going to add in that completely no charge."
What I love about bundling is that your competitors will look at doing it, but they only will look at doing it with something that is inside their wheelhouse, they're not going to think outside the box.
Like someone doesn't want more of the same. It's one of the biggest mistakes that people make when they're selling information or products is that you sell a product, let's just say for $1,000. And then you try and upsell someone for an add on, but it's more of the same.
Put yourself in your customers' shoes, what else would they want? What else could they need around their house, for example, assuming that you're in the realm of that service? Whatever business you're in, what could you bundle and offer to save them time and money? Those are the two big ones, saving time and saving money.
So I want you to look at this kind of economy, how can you bundle to start to separate yourself from the pact because that will start to drive you more sales.
Get out there, make a change, and take some action today.

31 July 2008
HON. RON PAUL OF TEXAS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Wednesday, July 30, 2008
2008 Ron Paul 55:1
Mr. PAUL. Madam Speaker, on August 5 the Foundation for International Space Education (FISE) will host United Space School Day at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas. The United Space School Day is a summer science camp/ health careers promotion activity coordinated by the East Texas Area Health Education Center (AHEC). The United Space School Days activities will focus on the education pathways appropriate for students interested in careers in life sciences, aerospace medicine, and bioastronautics.
2008 Ron Paul 55:2
United Space School Day is just one part of FISEs United Space School program. The United Space School program, established in 1994, is the major way FISE carries out its mission of providing space-based academic instruction to pre-collegiate students from across America and around the world who are interested in science, engineering, technology, or mathematics careers. The United Space School gives these students the opportunity to learn from some of the space industrys leading experts. Participants in the programs follow a curriculum specially designed to provide appropriate training and development by instructors qualified and knowledgeable in the proper disciplines.
2008 Ron Paul 55:3
As the students visit the various educational venues and participate in the space-related learning initiatives, they are exposed to myriad examples of space-related careers as well as careers in industries that support the space programs. United Space School students also benefit from daily one-on-one interaction with leading aerospace professionals from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) or the Johnson Space Center (JSC), and the supporting aerospace community. United Space School participants are also given a unique hands on learning experience through the development of a Manned Mission to Mars Project. United Space Schools organization, schedule, and curriculum are designed to provide the structure, knowledge, resources, mentoring, and appropriate settings to complete the Manned Mission to Mars project.
2008 Ron Paul 55:4
Madam Speaker, FISEs United Space School program is doing invaluable work in preparing the next generation of scientists and aerospace engineers. I would not be surprised if future breakthroughs in space technology came from alumni of the United Space School program. It is therefore my pleasure to extend my congratulations to the United Space School program on the occasion of the United Space School Day. I also extend my thanks to NASA, the Johnson Space Center, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, East Texas AHEC, and all the volunteers who help make the United Space School program possible.

Early voting in Texas for the 2016 election begins in a month. It will run through November 4. The Harris County Clerk's office is encouraging voters to take advantage of the window, in order to avoid long lines at the polls.
Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart estimates 2.2 million people will be registered to vote by Election Day. That's about half the county's total population.
"The last presidential [election] we had 1.2 million voters in Harris County," Stanart says. "We are planning and putting in the infrastructure to support 1.4 million voters to show up."
The county will operate a record 46 early voting locations this year, in order to accommodate heavy turnout for the presidential contest. Even so, voters shouldn't wait till the last minute.
"We will probably do 100,000 people on the last day of early voting," Stanart says. "Do not get caught up in that masses of people, the parking situations, and there could be lines." He warns voters should expect similar delays if they wait till the last few hours of Election Day to go to the polls.
Absentee voting is also an option for senior citizens, disabled individuals, and certain other groups. The deadline for requesting a mail-in ballot is Friday, October 28.

Drip, drop of rain
Falling down
Rushing thru the drain
Life is sometimes like
Falling rain
A mediocre time turned
To all desired, wanted
Coming down like rain.
Once again
To the drip, drop
Of quiet summer rain.
Feel it's vibrance change
The ordinary
To a spectacular refrain
This I know
As I listen to that rain
You'll never ever
Ever be the same.

Vayyar Imaging has created the WalabotDIY – a device for home renovators and DIY enthusiasts that can see through objects, liquids, and materials. As someone in the midst of a bunch of renovating, it's devices like this that give me confidence to put a nail or screw into a wall without fear that I'll create a disaster.
Vayyar said WalabotDIY can see up to ten centimetres into drywall, cement and other materials and determine the location of studs, pipes, wires, and moving rodents.
At an introductory price of $165 – the normal price will be $220 – that's a lot cheaper than calling a plumber or electrician in to fix something.
WalabotDIY includes Pan Mode, which lets you scan an entire wall and combine everything detected into a single image to create a 'map' of what's behind your walls. It can detect multiple studs, pipes and wires, follow the path of pipes and get a full picture of things that are hidden from view.
WalabotDIY is compatible with all Android smartphones 5.0 and higher, equipped with USB OTG. It connects to the back of the phone and can be used to scan the wall. Images of objects hidden behind the wall are then projected on the smartphone's screen. WalabotDIY also helps users know precisely how deep to cut or how far to drill to avoid damaging pipes, wires, and objects hidden behind walls. Additional features include an adjustable sensitivity setting for optimal calibrations on particular renovation and construction projects, three sensing modes and the ability to seamlessly snap photo screenshots for use in offline analysis.


text: A Famous Artist Called This 7-Year-Old War Survivor's Paintings "Mind-Blowing"Shah Bibi Tarahkhail doesn't let her prosthetic arm stop her from being totally awesome.By by Rachel ZarrellBuzzFeed News ReporterPosted on April 5, 2014, 5:23 amTwitterFacebookLink Within weeks of getting a prosthetic arm after a horrific war injury, 7-year-old Afghan girl Shah Bibi Tarahkhail is being hailed as a "mind-blowing" abstract artist by a famous painter. Shah Bibi was hurt less than a year ago, after she went outside one morning to play with her brother the night after a violent battle between Taliban fighters and U.S. military forces, the Daily Mail reports. The Children of War Foundation focuses on providing medical and surgical care to children in need. While learning to use her new arm by spending time with abstract artist Davyd Whaley, Shah Bibi has discovered a new talent, with Whaley calling one of her paintings "pretty mind-blowing." Shah Bibi, who is fluent in Afghan languages but picked up a bit of English, has an affinity for American culture: She arrived at the gallery in a pair of Minnie Mouse shoes and sometimes sang along to "Let it Go" while she painted. The 7-year-old will return to her family next week, but Children of War has plans to bring her back next year to fit her with a prosthetic eye and take care of her facial scars.

How Blockchain Can Solve Many of IoT's Current Challenges
The internet of things (IoT) is a system designed for smart devices to interact as humans do by means of the internet. It is a relatively new piece of technology that is gaining some popularity right now. On the other hand, blockchain technology is also becoming more popular due to its use by many cryptocurrencies in the market today.
These two pieces of technology are both on the rise and could actually benefit each other. But how exactly is that possible? Let's discuss how important the role of blockchain technology is in the implementation of IoT applications.
Current Challenges of IoT Applications
IoT has several applications right now, and still, more are being discovered. From multiple smart home devices communicating with each other to elderly care monitoring and even autonomous vehicles.
The issues, methods, and ways to apply IoT constantly appear. However, as more applications are being developed, so do the security and scaling required to make them work. These two things will be the main difficulties for IoT development in the next few years. To overcome these challenges, there seems to be one solution that can help IoT applications—blockchain technology.
Let's enumerate the major gaps in IoT applications that can be easily overcome through the effective use of blockchain technology.
- Out of Date Firmware – Not many suppliers offer regular updates for their IoT solutions, and not many users will update the firmware when a new version is available. This can be quite a problem as firmware updates are crucial to any device connected through the internet. The security risks alone of outdated firmware will pose many problems to the users of the devices.
- Weak Authentication – Many IoT solutions use simple authentication for applications with strong programmed passwords. However, no matter how strong the passwords are, they can still be compromised by hackers with minimal effort. A simple brute-force strategy can blast through this since it has little to no authentication measures.
- Unsecure Connection – Security has always been a leading concern by mainly manufacturers and experts in IoT applications. Many data leaks in IoT are actually the consequence of poor security measures during the data transfer between two devices or even from an IoT device to the cloud.
How Can Blockchain Overcome These Challenges?
All these issues can be easily solved by blockchain technology. With the increased safety and security measures offered by a shared ledger like the blockchain, all the outdated software and security issues can be easily resolved.
Blockchain also has the ability to hide the connection between devices, which is a great advantage since it offers transaction validation without third-party implementation. This lowers the risks of data leaking and IoT network hacking.
In terms of scaling, decentralized blockchain networks share the workload, which provides improved transaction processing and increases the coordination between billions of IoT devices that are connected to it. In fact, blockchain even allows devices to transfer data directly, even without the help of servers, clouds, or local databases.
The integration of blockchain technology and IoT are showing quite a lot of promise. The promise of connectivity by IoT devices comes with a lot of security vulnerabilities, which are easily resolved by blockchain technology. This relationship between the two types of technologies will prove to be useful to every industry in the foreseeable future.

Szczepaniak Astridge adds concrete and timber extension to London house
Untitled House is a residential extension and renovation in Camberwell, London, by architecture studio Szczepaniak Astridge that centres around a "concrete sculpture".
The project was undertaken by Szczepaniak Astridge for a client called Rachel, who is the VP creative of a major British fashion house.
Rachel asked Szczepaniak Astridge to create a home where she could relax and decompress after work.
"Untitled House has no name. Like a piece of art with no name," said the studio.
"We wanted to introduce a concrete-walled void through from the kitchen up to the bathroom. This enables smells and sounds to travel up and down the house."
Concrete poured in situ forms the foundations, floors, walls and ceilings of the ground-storey kitchen and a new bathroom on the first floor.
A double-height space has been left open above part of the kitchen, connecting it to the bathroom above.
The gap is ringed by a concrete half-wall topped by polished stainless steel Crittal windows created by specialist metalworkers.
These windows form a screen for a monolithic bathtub that sits, like another miniature void, on the other side. The deep and square tub is formed of the same dark concrete as the walls and floor.
These sculptural concrete elements are a reference to the work of Gordon Matta-Clark, the architect-trained artist who made dramatic cut-outs in buildings.
"The bathroom on the first floor was designed as a place to retreat to, to guiltlessly linger and hang out," said the studio.
The sinks of dark polished stone were designed by Rachel and made to specification to complement the moody atmosphere of the room.
Downstairs, the kitchen is lit by light coming down through the void and by a long skylight cut into the timber-lined ceiling. A trough-style sink, salvaged and restored by the client, sits against a raw-concrete column.
Grey concrete boxes form benches under both sides of the windowsills between the kitchen and outdoor terrace.
On the exterior side, deep timber eaves shelter the seating area and the bi-folding doors that open out on to the patio.
This timber rear facade was designed Szczepaniak Astridge and built by Turner Prize-winning studio Assemble from birch plywood and solid beech with steel connectors.
"The design was conceived as a moving jewellery box," said Szczepaniak Astridge.
"The facade opens up and closes and is protected by a large 0.5-metre overhang from the rain."
During the renovation process for the original house, the studio peeled back layers of wallpaper from the walls.
They used these discoveries to inform the palette of colours for the redecoration, and saved sections of the stripped paper for a book they made for Rachel about the project.
Szczepaniak Astridge is a London studio founded by Simon Astridge and Nicholas Szczepaniak. A previous project from the practice featured a rooftop extension with a timber bathtub in front of a window.

Many business owners have big expectations for launching a new website, because they have spent a great amount of time and energy on getting to that point. Whether they are celebrating their very first website launch, or releasing the re-design of an existing website, the process can be a little daunting.
A website is designed for a purpose. That purpose might be to gain sales through an online store, or to encourage potential clients to make an enquiry via the telephone. Whatever the purpose is, this will be tested just after the website launch. The owner of the website will be eager to found out if the site does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Plan Your Launch
Launching a new website requires planning, to ensure that the best outcome is achieved. Everyone involved in the production of the website should be consulted during the planning stages, including web designers and developers, SEO providers, copywriters and e-marketing professionals. These people need to be aware of the website's completion, and can even help promote it to their own networks once the launch has begun.
Test and Respond
A website should be tested for functionality before it goes public, but there may also be glitches after the launch. The most important thing is that you are ready for problems if they occur, and have an action plan to rectify these as soon as possible.
Your customers might be struggling to make a purchase correctly, and you will need to respond to this quickly if you want their sales. A more subtle problem may occur, such as many visitors leaving a particular page after a short time without making a purchase. This page content will need to be assessed and changed as required.
Promote Via Social Media
Once you have started launching your new website, and it looks great and works well, you should promote it via social media. Let all of your friends and followers know that you have a new design, and encourage them to provide you with feedback. This action will help drive visitors to your site, but you will also receive valuable information from any feedback they give. This will further help you test and refine your website after its launch.
Plan for Growth
Your website may not gain a lot of traffic in the early days, especially if your primary method of attaining visitors is through search engines. You can certainly grow the traffic over time though, and this will include the use of marketing campaigns, including content marketing.
After the launch of a new website, you should start working on expanding your content by writing blogs and articles. Fresh content that is posted on a regular basis will help you become better recognised by the search engines, and keep your website looking new with up-to-date information.

On November 7, GE Intelligent Platforms and Juniper Networks announced at MILCOM 2011 (November 7-10, Baltimore, Maryland) that the two companies will collaborate to develop a family of rugged, highly secure routing and network security appliances designed for military/aerospace deployment in harsh environments where security of data is a mission critical requirement. The resulting solutions will be sold by GE Intelligent Platforms.
This new family of GE products responds to the adoption by military forces around the world of a network-centric approach to battlefield operations and systems design, according to both companies. With this solution, converged data, voice and video are carried over an IP-based network, and routers form the core of such a network. Cybersecurity also represents a significant concern, as well, as the coexistence of allied forces through multi-national battlefield engagements underscore potential language barriers and security concerns. This results in a requirement for purpose-built rugged routers with advanced security capabilities since commercially-available routers are not designed for harsh environments encountered in most military combat situations.
The RTR8GE, the first product to be announced, is a battle-ready, rugged, and security-focused network router, featuring Juniper's Junos operating system. Its firewall, intrusion prevention and detection, and quality of service capabilities enable secure IPv4/IPv6 connectivity for military vehicles, aircraft and forward operating bases supporting net-centric operations. The RTR8GE is designed to have eight Gigabit Ethernet ports integrated in a SWaP-optimized enclosure that meets the demanding environmental requirements of military and aerospace applications.
The RTR8GE router also supports radio-aware router protocols that monitor network efficiency, available bandwidth and regulate traffic flow, choosing the most efficient network route in mobile, ad-hoc battlefield network environments. It also includes anti-tamper protection and information-assurance technologies in recognition of the sensitive nature of the data it is designed to transport.
For the remainder of this decade, improved routing performance, for traffic load balancing, for countering radio channel performance disturbance and for inter-domain routing in the heterogeneous networking environment will grow in importance. VDC believes collaborative technology agreements such as this between GE and Juniper represent a best-of-breed approach to network-based embedded design and development projects, for any number of real-world applications, including military and defense.
By bringing together Juniper's network technology and its Junos operating systems for mission-critical, rugged, and net-centric military applications, GE Intelligent Platforms will be better positioned to participate in programs where C4ISR/electronic warfare interoperability specifications are an integral component of the ultimate solution. However, VDC also believes even with the obvious technical benefits of a GE-Juniper combined communications platform, U.S. military expenditures on advanced net-centric technology will be rationalized - just as virtually every Department of Defense program receives extensive reviews in 2012. Adjustments in U.S. military strategy and global posture are likely, and could result in large budget savings that could contribute to deficit reduction, a key priority for the current administration.

Sept. 14, 2013
DURHAM, N.C. — Despite recording a season-high 14 blocks, the South Carolina volleyball team fell in four sets to Duke on Saturday by the scores of 22-25, 25-20, 17-25 and 21-25 to wrap up play in the Duke Invitational at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
It's the most blocks for a Gamecock squad in a match since posting 14 on Nov. 26, 2008 at home against Florida. With the loss South Carolina drops to 5-4 on the season. The Blue Devils are now 7-2 overall.
Freshman middle blocker Jacqy Angermiller led the way at the net, recording a career-high nine block assists. Sophomore setter Kellie McNeil and sophomore Darian Dozier, who were both named to the All-Tournament Team, added five and four blocks, respectively, while senior outside hitter Juliette Thévenin also had four blocks. Thévenin tallied a team-high 15 kills. Sophomore Sarah Blomgren chipped in 10 kills, and freshman KoKo Atoa-Williams and Dozier finished with seven and six, respectively. McNeil distributed 24 assists, and junior Michaela Christiaansen collected 16 digs.
Sophomore middle blocker Elizabeth Campbell finished with 25 kills to lead four Blue Devils with double-figure kills. Outside hitter Jeme Obeime (17), outside hitter Emily Sklar (13) and middle blocker Chelsea Cook (10) also reached double figures. Junior setter Maggie Deichmeister dished out 56 assists, while senior Ali McCurdy finished with a match-high 18 digs.
South Carolina hit .209 as a team and finished with 43 kills, while the Blue Devils hit .258 with 71 kills. The Gamecocks out blocked Duke 14-5, and Duke held a 58-45 advantage in digs.
Duke built a 17-12 lead in the first set, but following a timeout the Gamecocks regrouped and went on a quick 6-0 run capped by a Thévenin kill to take their first lead of the frame at 18-17. After the Blue Devils tied it on an Obeime kill, the teams battled through two more ties, with the last being 22-22. Duke then scored the next three points to win the set.
The Gamecocks evened the match at 1-1 with a strong second set. South Carolina made its presence felt at the net as it recorded eight blocks in the frame. The Gamecocks, who also outhit the Blue Devils .226-.114, held a lead for most of the set and didn't allow Duke to go on any lengthy runs. After the Blue Devils pulled to within 15-14 on an Obeime kill, the Gamecocks went on a 3-1 run, including kills by Thévenin and McNeil, to take an 18-15 lead. South Carolina didn't allow Duke to get closer than two points the rest of the way.
The Blue Devils took control of the third set early, building a 10-2 lead behind four kills from Campbell. With Duke leading 21-10, the Gamecocks made a push to get back into the set, going on a 7-2 run to cut the Blue Devils' lead to 23-17. However, Duke scored the next two points to win the frame. The Blue Devils hit .455 for the set with 18 kills.
The teams played to an 11-11 tie in the fourth set, but a Campbell kill gave the Blue Devils a 12-11 lead they would not relinquish. Duke went on to build a 19-15 lead, and the Gamecocks made one last rally to get to within 19-17 but they were unable to pull any closer.
The Gamecocks return to action next weekend as they host the Carolina Classic presented by Courtyard Marriott. South Carolina will face Western Carolina on Friday at 7 p.m. and Robert Morris (1 p.m.) and Presbyterian (7 p.m.) on Saturday at the Volleyball Competition Facility.
Season tickets for South Carolina's home dates are on sale. Adult season tickets are $25, while youth 17 and under can get their tickets for $10. For more information, contact the South Carolina Ticket Office at 800-4SC-FANS or visit the ticket office homepage at Gamecocksonline.com.

[UPDATE July 2022: I switched to using MobaXterm which does the job just fine. I don't like that it is not free/open but I do like that it comes with an integrated SSH agent, which makes life a lot easier]
I had been a happy WSL1 user for many years, but after switching laptops I more or less had to upgrade to WSL2. Which is the same thing but not really.
The thing is, WSL2 startup times are annoyingly slow. And I hate slow. Computers have to be fast and snappy.
So after poking around — many blogs and Github issues — I decided to ditch WSL and move on.
So I entered the world of terminal emulators and unixy environments, which can be overwhelmingly confusing at times.
Windows Terminal
First I settled on Windows Terminal as a terminal emulator. I already starting using this for WSL (which comes default with MinTTY).
MinTTY is used *a lot* and many tools are actually MinTTY under the hood. Cygwin also comes with MinTTY by default. And MinTTY is pretty good, however: it has no tabs.
Windows Terminal is the only terminal emulator I found (on Windows) that does tabs decently! The only other ones I found were ConEmu, but it feels a bit less snappy, and cmder (which uses ConEmu so it has the same problem).
Once you have tabs, you don't want to go back.
Windows Terminal is a native Windows binary, so that might explain that snappy feel.
So Windows Terminal it is.
But now, how do I get that Linux feel on Windows! WSL1 was pretty perfect, an almost native feeling Linux environment.
There are many alternatives and emulation option (like running VirtualBox or MinGW et al.) but why not go with good, old, trusty Cygwin solution. Their tagline is enticing:
Get that Linux feeling – on Windows
That sounds good!
I knew Cygwin from way back, and I noticed it still hasn't changed its logical, but somewhat archaic installation procedure.
Cygwin installs itself in a folder with a bunch of recompiled for Windows GPL tools, to create a hierarchy that LOOKS and FEELS like a Linux environment.
Fine, whatever.
As long as I can use, grep
, rsync
, ssh
, wget
, vim
and awk
, right?
And I can. Cygwin makes a whole lot of recompiled GNU tools available for Windows — including the above.
However a basic Cygwin installation is pretty minimalistic, so I had to run the installer a few times to get all the software packages I needed (like ssh
, vim
and wget
they are not installed by default). This makes Cygwin a bit different: you can — and usually have to — run the installer a few times to get everything you need.
Next I added Cygwin to my Windows Terminal and made it the default. And with 'added' I mean I made a Windows Terminal profile that starts the bash.exe
program that comes with Cygwin and drops me in the Cygin homedir (which is actually a Windows path).
A terminal emulator in itself does nothing except handle input / output, and running a shell program like bash enables you to interact with your files (or OS) by sending input signals trough a terminal emulator and processing its output signals.
Cygwin comes with MinTTY by default (of course): if this had (decent) tabs, I'd probably chuck Windows Terminal.
In Windows Terminal you can click a profile together, which edits a JSON file, but you can also directly edit the JSON if you know what you are doing.
I think I really like that Cygwin keeps everything in one folder and doesn't mess too much with my Windows installation, or path settings and all that. I think (?) it's just a folder (pretty portable).
Two things though.
Cygwin needs a better looking prompt. Well here you go:
export PS1="\u@\h:[\e[1;32m]\w \e[m \D{%T}# "
Try it, you'll like it. Colors, path, username, time, it has everthing! Put it in your .bash_rc
I could not figure out why my SSH keys weren't working when connecting to my server. But when I dropped into verbose mode (ssh -vv
) I saw ssh wanted to use keys from C:\Users\Jan van den Berg\.ssh
instead of the Cygwin homedir /home/jan/.ssh
I spent waaaaay too much timing thinking why Cygwin would do this, until I noticed the SSH binary I invoked was the default Windows 10 OpenSSH client, which will default to looking in the Windows homedir for ssh keys instead of the Cygwin homedir.
So you have to specifically invoke /bin/ssh
(or you can remove the Windows OpenSSH client, or change symlinks, or change paths, whatever works for you).
The lesson is: be aware that Cygwin is just a bunch of Windows executables, and it will therefore also look in your Windows path.
I think I am pretty happy with this setup, mainly because it starts almost instantly! And that was the whole point.

Commercial Roofing Maintenance in the Winter
Don't stop thinking about maintenance for your commercial roof when the calendar rolls around to winter. Your roof keeps your facility protected during this harsh weather season; return the favor and make sure it's able to provide watertight protection. Here are some things to keep in mind with respect to winter roof maintenance.
Conduct occasional spot checks and inspections. This is especially important after a significant wind and/or precipitation event. Seemingly small problems can become big ones in the winter if water penetrates your roofing membrane and goes through multiple freeze and thaw cycles. In addition to membrane holes and cracks, keep an eye out for seams that may have developed gaps, especially around flashings and other transitions.
Your drains, gutters and downspouts need to be clear and running freely to carry water away from your building. Fall and winter storms can drop leaves and branches from nearby trees. This debris can clog drainage systems and when water doesn't drain it can freeze and cause serious problems, including ice dams on shingled roofs. Make sure scuppers around your roof perimeter as well as drains on the rooftop are unblocked. Remember that falling branches can puncture roof membranes, so inspect for those issues as well.
Roof materials expand and contract with temperature fluctuations. Cold-weather stresses can compromise the integrity of membrane seams, create gaps in metal or plastic edging around the perimeter of your building and cause other problems. Your winter rooftop inspection should include documenting and repairing any issues along these lines.
When you're on the rooftop be safe. A commercial roof can be hazardous in good weather, but it becomes much more so when it's snow-covered and slippery.
If you'd like to leave your wintertime (or anytime) roof inspections to a professional, the roofing pros at Tusing Builders and Roofing Services would welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs with you. Please contact us at your convenience.

If you haven't noticed, a lot is happening at First2Board! We launched on March 1st with a huge bang and haven't stopped growing since. We started with 11 amazing bloggers – and even had to wait for a public vote on whether or not TheMrPickles should join F2B or not! We're glad he did!
What happened to our homepage? Well, it's simple, we listen! After hearing feedback from our bloggers, readers and folks on the forums we decided to clean up the homepage and make it more simple. We also heard our bloggers and some of them wanted new designs for their sites too! And we're in the process of doing that now.
In the first month we gave away trips, Tumi, points, gift certificates and more! We'll continue that fun throughout the year – hint – look for a huge Cinco de Mayo giveaway!
First2Board will be a sponsor of The Chicago Seminars and we're working on something very special with TheMrPickles! Stay tuned for more details… but be assured, you will not want to miss the seminars!
One month after our launch we're excited to announce that we're growing again. In the month of may we'll be adding a lot of great bloggers. In the next few weeks you'll see these new blogs
Brian Cohen, who writes The Gate at Flyertalk, is joining First2Board with a second blog (don't worry, The Gate is not going anywhere) called What's Your Point. Brian will provide a unique perspective on all the latest on the blogs (F2B Bloggers aren't off limits), the forums and more.
Debra, who writes Traveling Well For Less will move her blog over to First2Board this month.
Sean, the author of FreakWentFlying will restart his blog on First2Board this month with a look at how to travel plus much more.
Also joining First2Board are established bloggers like The Frugal Travel Lawyer, Will Run For Miles and a mystery blogger who we will announce in about two week (I love a good mystery/secret!)
The Taxiway, F2Bs blog for guest posts is taking off (get it…taxiway…taking off) and the air traffic controller (aka Editor) will be Susan (known as @MiffSC on twitter). One of the very first guest bloggers you'll see is Perryplatypus. We're really looking forward to seeing what he's writing!
If you're interesting in joining First2Board as a blogger, or guest blogger, please email me at stacey@first2board or fill out this form.
You may have also noticed our launch of F2B Deals – a site dedicated to travel deals! This site is not a blog, there's zero editorial content, only travel deals that the manager of F2B Deals think you might like!
We hope you're as excited as we are about all of the changes around First2Board! Here's to another great month.

Cultivating young rural leaders
by Blandin Foundation Posted in Rural Capacity Building, Vibrant Rural
More than 10,000 rural Minnesota middle and high schoolers are celebrating National FFA Week this week, with activities that range from meeting with government officials to hosting community meals and the Jackson County area's annual barnyard for kids.
FFA may be more familiar by its former name – Future Farmers of America – but FFA's scope today reaches far beyond farms. It provides youth an opportunity to prepare for career success through events that develop skills such as public speaking, communication, and hands-on job experience in fields such as research, technology, business, management, communications, the economy, and other careers.
These skills also are key to community success. According to the 2013 Rural Pulse, 62 percent of rural Minnesotans ages 18-34 would consider serving in a community leadership role when asked. With a crop of 10,000 youth with skills that are hallmarks of community leadership, why wouldn't communities ask?
Many students already are finding opportunities to apply their skills to community work. The Foley FFA chapter tested more than 60 wells in central Minnesota's Benton County, then accessed funds from the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities broadband project to build a database and online map of results, which has become a crucial tool to monitor water quality in their area.

I was born a year before the Dragon babies and boy, have they been a thorn in my side.
The Pantang
I'm no economist or social analyst but what I intend to convey is that the traditional Chinese belief that certain Zodiac signs are better or worse is total hogwash. I'm even going so far as to say that it might result in negative effects for your child.
The Dragon in the Chinese zodiac is affiliated with wealth and success. The Dragon, which is the fifth in the wheel of animals, is considered both noble and ferocious, leading many traditional diehards to believe that a person born in this year assumes such traits.
Dragon babies, as some of you might know, are a generational boom in Asian countries that observe the Lunar Calendar. The Dragon zodiac is an auspicious one and many traditional Chinese believe this to be beneficial to a person's luck and character.
The Figures
In 1988, Singapore was a growing nation, pushing into the 90s with a growing GDP and rising economy after the economic disaster in 1985. It was a ripe time to be having kids and the zodiac presented even better reasons to have one.
The birth rate in Singapore had been on a slow decline since we secured Independence from Malaysia. We were having silly amounts of children back in the day, and you may ascertain this by counting the amount of aunties and uncles you have.
The fertility rate dropped from 4.66 in 1965 to 1.43 in 1986. As mentioned, in 1986, Singapore was recovering from a recession. Come 1987, the fertility rate had gone up to 1.62 babies per female in Singapore.
Things were getting healthier, then the Dragon came and we had 1.92 babies per female in Singapore. Discounting the ridiculous numbers we had when we still lived in kampungs, this number still stands as a record till today.
The Road Ahead
As a population, we haven't had more babies in recent years as we had in 1988. Today, those born in 1988 would be 29 years of age. And these Dragon Kids come in large cohorts. So much so that there was once a lack of schools in Singapore to cater to all of them.
Now we see schools from Primary to Tertiary starting to merge because of the lack of students. The Dragon babies aren't to blame for any of that, however it did spark a mini surge in our baby shy nation. That eventually led to a harder time in finding university placements.
There were mitigating factors to prevent this bottle-necking. Factors such as the difference in years it takes to get a tertiary education depending on whether you're a Polytechnic or JC graduate (thus providing a small relief).
Males too had to serve NS, leaving their female counterparts with yet more breathing room. However, you should take into account that this was a large cohort that were competing for limited spots in local universities.
The Finance Route
This ultimately led to the trend of so many enrolling in SIM. I would bet that everyone had at least five friends from SIM taking some sort of finance-related degree from the University of London (UOL). Of the five, how many are actually in a capacity they imagined they'd be?
There were only 14,700 places allocated to local students for local universities, NUS, NTU and SMU in 2008.
Junior Colleges mostly house students who see themselves furthering their education in a University, and almost everyone was fighting for a place in one of the three local universities. But bear in mind, there were 11,800 Dragon applicants from Polytechnics alone.
Now how many of these Dragon Parents had a contingency plan for all this? I'd never know. What I do know is that it led to a sudden lack of belief. Belief that if I study hard enough I'd get a place in a local university, and belief that Dragon Babies are blessed.
The spillover was pretty clear – not everyone had a place in the university of their choice. That doesn't necessarily mean you're meant for a life of misfortune though, as every night has its dawn and there are various avenues to success.
Yet there were still more hurdles upon graduation. Job hunting became a challenge, not in a sense that we had extreme unemployment issues. However there was a surge of banker types, and despite there being many facets to the financial industry, not everyone squeezed through the doors.
Of Those Who Did
How many graduates imagined themselves standing in a heartland bank waiting on customers at the door? I'm pretty sure not many believed this was the fate awaiting them, not after nights pouring over multiple case studies and textbooks.
In some ways I feel that the spillover caused by the Dragon Baby generation sort of led to an image of a soft Strawberry Generation in Singapore. Dragon Babies had to be competitive to succeed and Strawberry types to most probably looked like they lacked the same bite.
It's all one big chain of events, and although the 1988 fertility rate still hasn't been beat, there are still more babies being born in Dragon years then there are in others. Which does go to show that traditions die hard.
Are you a Dragon Kid? How's it going?

MOSCOW – Since the mid 7th century that it first reached the Caucasus region, Islam has been growing significantly in Russia, reaching 25 million according to the European country's Grand Mufti.
"Islam came to Russia in the seventh century. Followers of our Prophet Muhammad came to Russia 22 years after he left earthly life," Grand Mufti of Russia Sheikh Rawil Gaynetdin told Anadolu Agency.
"They came to a city that is currently known as Derbent, it is in Southern Dagestan. And the first Adhan, call to worship, in Russia, was made on the lands of Dagestan," the mufti said.
According to Gaynetdin, the number of Muslims in Russia has been growing due to high birth rate of Muslim families as well as the arrival of Muslims from Central Asia.
Currently, the majority of Muslims live in the Moscow region and other major metropolitan areas such as St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.
There is also a high concentration of Muslims in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, and the republics of the North Caucasus, the mufti added.
The majority of Russian Muslims are Sunnis of Hanafi school of thought but there are also some Sunnis of Shafi'i school and Shias, Gaynetdin said.
"Russian Shiites are mainly Azeris and Tajiks from Pamir and they are small in number. Most Shiites live in Derbent, southern Dagestan.
"In Moscow, only one community is registered as Shiites," he said.
No Hierarchy
According to the Mufti, the Russian system of Muslim administration consists of three federal centers.
In Moscow, there is the Council of Muftis of Russia; the Muslim Spiritual Authority is in the city of Ufa and the Muslim Spiritual Authority is in the Caucasus, which acts as the coordination center of Muslims in the North Caucasus.
"Islam is a very democratic religion, we do not have one hierarchy like in Christianity.
"There is no pope or Ecumenical Patriarch for Islam. In Islam, each country has its own spiritual institutionalization.
"There is a hierarchy, the system of spiritual authority. In Russia, there are three federal centers and we believe that this is the best option for the management of Muslim religious affairs in Russia," the mufti said.
The Mufti also criticized Israel latest actions in Al-Quds and Donald Trump's decision to recognize it as Israel's capital.
"Jerusalem is the sacred place of our three monotheistic religions," he said.
"And it must remain Jewish, Christian and Muslim holy place. Israel has no right to usurp the power and to turn this city only into Israeli; it has no right to take away opportunities from Muslims and Christians there to pray.
"And this will happen if Israel usurps power over the city."

Charles Emmanuel III
Our editors will review what you've submitted and determine whether to revise the article.
- Died:
- Feb. 20, 1773, Turin, Kingdom of Sardinia (aged 71, died on this day)
- Title / Office:
- king (1730-1773), Sardinia
- House / Dynasty:
- House of Savoy
Charles Emmanuel III (born April 27, 1701, Turin, Savoy—died Feb. 20, 1773, Turin, Kingdom of Sardinia) king of Sardinia–Piedmont and an extremely skilled soldier whose aid other European countries often solicited for the many wars of his time.
Having received a military and political education, Charles Emmanuel succeeded his father, Victor Amadeus II, in 1730. During the War of the Polish Succession (1733–38) he joined the side of France and Spain, occupied Milan, and scored a brilliant success at Guastalla (Sept. 19, 1734). By the ensuing Treaty of Vienna he obtained Novara and Tortona (1738).
During the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48), which engaged the whole European continent, Charles Emmanuel fought against the Spanish, seeing that they, as did he, had designs on Milan. An astute negotiator, he was able to obtain Vigevano in the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748).
He declined to participate in the Seven Years' War (1756–63), concentrating instead on instituting various administrative reforms and maintaining a well-disciplined army.

This report, part of a broader research project on 'Poverty Knowledge and Policy Processes', concerns the poverty reduction policy process in three Ugandan districts, Bushenyi, Lira and Tororo. It is based on an understanding of policy as a series of complex, dynamic, political processes, rather than as a linear progression from formulation to implementation.
In the first section, we discuss the diversity of understandings of poverty that are acted upon in the policy process at the level of local government. We continue by examining key issues which mediate the participation of both government and civil society actors in poverty reduction policy processes. Finally, we turn to look at some of the spaces in which the policy process is enacted, arguing that a range of spatial practices are a mediating factor in the inclusion and exclusion of particular actors.
Our conclusion examines several key areas of disconnection between lived experiences of poverty and the policy process, between differently positioned actors who experience difficulties communicating with each other, between what should happen and what does happen, and between citizens and their representatives. These disconnections present important challenges in the development of more responsive and accountable processes for poverty reduction policy.

It took us quite a while to get used to the idea of flatforms, and now Heidi Klum has decided to test our tolerance further in a burnt orange pair.
We're trying to be impartial here for the sake of giving different this trend its five minutes of fame, so we'll leave this one up to you.
Heidi Klum wearing a chic unbuttoned black blouse while arriving at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on April 25, 2016
We spotted Heidi returning to Los Angeles after spending some time in the countryside of England with her art curator boyfriend, Vito Schnabel.
Heidi Klum slips into a pair of orange flatforms
While we're willing to open the orange flatforms up for discussion, we're putting our foot down on her outfit. We love the chic unbuttoned black blouse, but the crazy granny pants and the fringed wet market bag have to go.
Surprisingly, her unforgivable bag is from Saint Laurent. It's a good thing she had her pile of Louis Vuitton luggage to distract us from looking at it a little bit.
Heidi Klum arrives at the airport in a casually thrown-together outfit and a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage
When we said we are opening up orange flatforms for dialogue, we meant it.
Here are some pairs that we think could be workable with the right styling and a whole lot of confidence.
