Columbia Journal of Transnational Law Honors Professor Harold Hongju Koh for Achievements in International Law
The Columbia Journal of Transnational Law is pleased to announce that Professor Harold Hongju Koh is the 2003 Recipient of the Annual Wolfgang Friedmann Memorial Award for outstanding contributions in the field of international law. Professor Koh will give the keynote address, to be published in Volume 42 of the Journal, at the Annual Friedmann Award Banquet, to be held April 24, 2003 at The Mark Hotel in Manhattan. The Friedmann Award celebrates both the amazing contributions of this year's recipient and the legacy of Wolfgang Friedmann.
Every year since 1975, the Journal has presented the Wolfgang Friedmann Memorial Award to a distinguished scholar or practitioner who has made outstanding contributions to the field of international law. Past recipients of the award include Dr. Hans Blix (2002); James A. Baker III (1996); Boutros Boutros-Ghali (1995); and Philip C. Jessup (1975). This year, we are pleased to present the 29th Annual Friedmann Award to Professor Harold Hongju Koh, Professor at Yale Law School since 1985 and former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. Professor Koh has written more than eighty articles and several books, including The National Security Constitution, which won the American Political Science Association Award for the best book on the American Presidency.
A Korean-American, Professor Koh and his family moved to New Haven in 1961. Since then, he has excelled in every endeavor he has undertaken. He graduated summa cum laude in Government from Harvard University, as a Marshall Scholar with First Class Honours in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford and was the Developments Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Professor Koh went on to serve as law clerk to Judge Malcolm Richard Wilkey of the D.C. Circuit and Justice Harry Blackmun of the U.S. Supreme Court. Before coming to Yale, he practiced law at the Washington D.C. law firm of Covington and Burling and at the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. From 1998 to 2001, he served as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Professor Koh has written more than 80 articles and several books, including The Human Rights of Persons with Intellectual Disabilities: Different But Equal (2003 Oxford with S. Herr & L. Gostin); Transnational Business Problems (2003 Foundation with D. Vagts and W. Dodge); Deliberative Democracy and Human Rights (1999 Yale with R. Slye), Transnational Legal Problems (2d ed. 1984 Foundation with H. Steiner & D. Vagts) and The National Security Constitution (Yale 1990).
Professor Koh continues to be honored for these remarkable achievements. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an Honorary Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, an Overseer of Harvard University and on the Visiting Committee of Harvard Law School, an Editor of the American Journal of International Law and a member of the American Law Institute. He has received Guggenheim and Century Foundation Fellowships and has been awarded seven honorary doctorates and law school medals from the Villanova Law School and Touro Law School. He has also received more than twenty awards for his human rights work. He was named by American Lawyer magazine as one of America's 45 leading public sector lawyers under the age of 45, and by A Magazine as one of the 100 most influential Asian-Americans of the 1990s.
Currently, Professor Koh lives in New Haven with his wife, Mary-Christy Fisher, a legal services attorney, and their children Emily (16) and William (12). In addition, he continues to make a profound impact both on his students and on the promotion of human rights throughout the world. The Columbia Journal of Transnational Law is honored to include Professor Koh among its distinguished recipients of the Wolfgang Friedmann Memorial Award.
The Columbia Journal of Transnational Law is the oldest student-run journal of international law. It was founded in 1961 by the late Wolfgang Friedmann, a professor of international law at Columbia Law School, and has since enjoyed premier status in the international legal community. Four decades of scholarship have not only established the Journal as a premier forum for publication by leaders in both academia and government, but also as a forum for one of the highest levels of dialogue between scholars and policymakers on timely topics of international importance.

Obey Your Diet Plan
If you are overweight, you may be exposed to social, emotional and health problems. You need to plan a strict diet to help you through weight loss.
Whether written by you or a professional, weight loss plans do not have to be complicated or demanding in tone. Instead of having a plan that you like as a military commander, make it your new companion. Think of it as your coach. A friendly but tight coach. That way, you won't be afraid of your own rules.
To keep going and achieve your goals, your plan must be reasonable and realistic. Make sure your plan is simple and effective so it's easier for you to do it. If you are 65 pounds, don't expect to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. The BMI or Body Mass Index is a good base if you need to shed pounds or not.
Another factor is your reason behind the plan. If you plan to lose weight just to bring back your ex or make your partner envious then forget about it. Your objective is for your own sake. Don't let the temptation force you to do this. Sooner or later you may find that your intentions are useless, which may prevent you from continuing the plan.
If you are planning to write your own, here are some things to consider in your plan:
- Schedule your training
- The Best Goals
- Daily calorie intake
- List of edible foods
- A list of foods you can't eat
- Journal entries
- Healthy Activity Calendar
- Diet Chart for Weight Loss
Always remember that The plan is not a wish list. You didn't write a plan to let it stay in the drawer for ages. Plans are made to be realistic because you know you will take immediate action. Do everything you need to do to become what you want. Respect your plan just as much as you respect your coach. Make it happen.

It was in the City of Light where the lightbulb moment happened. The concept of Formula E was born in Paris as a means to demonstrate the potential of electric vehicles and alternative energy solutions through motorsport.
Alejandro Agag, Jean Todt and Antonio Tajani, sitting President of the European Parliament, had the vision during a dinner in Paris on March 3, 2011, to create a racing series powered solely by electric cars held on the streets of the world's leading cities.
Six years have since past, and the FIA Formula E Championship today returned to the same city to announce that grandstand tickets are now sold out for the second edition of the Paris ePrix on May 20.
Agag revealed the news in front of a selection of top French media and local authorities at a press conference held at the FIA headquarters in the French capital, alongside FIA President Jean Todt, Renault e.dams co-founder and team principal Jean-Paul Driot, as well as TECHEETAH driver Jean-Eric Vergne.
He was also joined by General Bruno Le Ray - Military Governor of Paris and Major General, Serge Orru - Advisor to the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, Olivier Le Quere - Deputy Mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris representing Rachida Dati, and Pierre Rabadan - Sports Advisor to the Mayor of Paris.
Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Formula E, said:"It's fantastic to be here in Paris at the headquarters of the FIA who continue to show support for the series, and to welcome a number of media and local dignitaries to discuss the growth of Formula E and its focus on fan engagement. Formula E wants to bring racing to the people - what better way to do so than bring electric street racing to cities such as Paris where it all started."
Jean Todt, President of the FIA, said: "Together with Alejandro, we had the idea to create Formula E and I've always dreamt of a race in Paris. Last year's event was an historic moment and a great spectacle around Les Invalides - and in close proximity to the FIA headquarters. Formula E is the perfect showcase of new electric vehicle technologies and attracts more and more interest in the mass adoption of clean mobility solutions in urban settings around the world."
Vergne, who crossed the line in second place for DS Virgin Racing in Paris last season, said: "It was a special feeling to stand on the podium in Paris last year - it was a great result for both me and the team. But there's still one more step to go - the top step. Winning in Paris would mean a lot to me, and we'll work hard to give it our best shot. There were so many people last year and the podium was an incredible moment, I look forward to seeing them again at my home race."
Fans can also follow the electrifying wheel-to-wheel action in Paris for free in the Allianz eVillage fan zones located around the circuit in Les Invalides.
For the Paris ePrix, the newly-named Allianz eVillage will also be open on Friday from 12:00 - 20:00, with a behind the scenes public pit walk from 18:00 - 19:00.
Compared to last year's inaugural event, there are double the amount of grandstand seats available with dedicated giant screens and free public viewing areas located around the circuit and opposite the pitlane to ensure improved track visibility.

Native Advertising and Sponsored Content: Are you in? Or are you out?
Sifting through marketing options for your business can be tedious and deciphering the jargon and deciding best fit can be just as confusing. If you are working with a marketing firm, you have likely heard words like "paid media", "native advertising" or "sponsored content," and they may even be part of your current marketing strategy.
In 2016, Business Insider contributor, Margaret Boland reported that "Native advertising will drive 74% of all ad revenue by 2021." According to content marketing services company, Brandpoint, "Paid media must play a role in your overall strategy." And, there is some merit to this: Click-thru rates and engagement with native advertising and sponsored content is higher than it is for other online advertising methods, such as the banner ads we would all like to welcome into extinction.
Sponsored content and native advertising are more and more prominent in the marketing sphere, and sometimes confused as the same thing. So, let's first distinguish between the two:
Some great examples of native advertising appear in this article. Native advertising is an ad sold to a business with guaranteed placement in mind. Its content can be played, read, watched, and has to be relevant to the other content on the page. For example, if you are looking up a recipe for homemade burgers, Bick might have an ad featuring pickles integrated into the story somewhere on the webpage.
Different types of native advertising include In-feed, Paid Search Units, Recommendation Widgets and Promoted Listings. For a more in-depth explanation of these native advertising types, check out this helpful playbook.
Sponsored content (a.k.a. Editorial, a.k.a. Content Advertising) is an exchange or partnership between publisher and business and not considered an ad. For example, popular media outlets, like Postmedia, New York Times, BuzzFeed or Huffington Post, trade paid-for content for brand exposure. It often appears in longer form—an article, or even short film. Here are some inspiring examples of sponsored content from Cole Haan and Netflix.
But native advertising and sponsored content are not without critics and controversy. Some argue that it breaches trust between publishers and public if it is content paid for by a third party. Online advertising software firm, Wordstream, reiterates where some of the controversy lies: "If The New York Times publishes a 'story' by Dell in exchange for money, can the Times objectively report on matters relating to Dell, or has every mention of the company been paid for?" Some see it as trickery, as most audiences do not know the meaning of native advertising or recognize that content might be sponsored.
On the other hand, disclosure of these marketing methods is mandatory; every article, video, and image that appears online and in print is labeled as "sponsored" or "advertising" if the content is paid for. As well, regulatory bodies are beginning to keep a closer watch on marketing activities.
According to Wordstream, "The Federal Trade Commission is considering implementing regulatory measures on brands using native ads to promote their products, and the FTC has also indicated it may monitor the market closely to ensure that native advertising is being used in a manner that benefits consumers. The American Society of Magazine Editors has also called for greater transparency and oversight when it comes to native advertising."
Maybe native advertising and sponsored content is walking a thin line in a world where we already have trouble trusting our news outlets. But it's also easy to see how these two additional tools in our business' marketing strategy tool belt can establish credibility, not to mention produce some differentiating and entertaining content.

Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit—which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post–9/11 security state under Bush and Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations expanded and empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And these are just four among a slew of reckless programs.
In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

p.s. Obviously these tips work just as much for men as for women, I just thought the title was catchy.
- Have your own emergency fund with a minimum of $2000 in it. Not your family emergency fund, not the "my husband has plenty of money" emergency fund, not the "I have plenty of credit cards" emergency fund. You want $2000 CASH in a secure bank account that you can easily access.
- Have all of your important documents in a secure place where you can easily access them. These documents include drivers license, passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree, death certificate, mortgage deed of trust, car titles...basically all of the official documents available for your immediate family.
- Have an education. There are quite a few women that will get a high school diploma and stop their education. They will ensure their husbands get through college, they will focus all of their attention on their children's education, but they put off completing their own education and then when they end up on their own and could really use these credentials, they don't have them. Get at least a bachelor's degree even if it means you take one class per quarter for ten year. Of course, you will want to cash-flow your education and not take out student loans.
- Have some money-earning skills. Whether you dabble in website design or resell stuff on Craigslist, having the ability to earn money is vital to your continued well being whether or not your income is needed to support the family.
- Have a network of friends. Many times women get so focused on their husbands and kids that they let their friendships lapse because they don't have the time or energy to sustain them. When all Hell breaks loose, you will be thankful for the support of your good friends.
- Be debt free. If you end up on your own, you don't want to also be bogged down by a pile of debts that need to be paid each month. Your monthly bills should be minimal (cell phone, utilities, etc) and your consumer debt should be zero.
- Insist that your spouse if debt free as well. If something happens to your spouse, you could be left with all of his debts (this happened to one of my friends. When her husband died suddenly, instead of having time to grieve his death, she was immediately barraged by debt collectors). This is also important if you get divorced--your spouse can be given the debts by the court but that doesn't mean he will pay them and the debt collectors will come after YOU.
- Live in a reasonably-sized house. You don't need a McMansion to have a nice home. Having a house that one income can easily support is really important in the event that YOUR income ends up being the one paying for your home and utilities.
- Know how much your spouse makes, how much the monthly bills are, how the family money is invested, the information for all bank accounts, what kinds of insurance policies your family has, know what each line of your last tax return means, what pensions/retirement plans your husband has, what kind of health insurance you have, and, most importantly, have all of this information written down somewhere in case you end up paying the bills if a spouse suddenly dies or your divorce attorney needs a place to start looking for assets.
- Learn how to do everything your husband does even if it seems confusing, boring, or icky. Your husband may not always be around to fix the plumbing, mow the yard, do your annual taxes, or DVR your favorite shows. The more you know how to do, the better off you will be in the end.
Hopefully your marriage lasts forever and you are able to grow old with a loving spouse but that doesn't always happen. More often than not, when a marriage ends either by divorce of death, the spouse that is left behind ends up grieving the end of the relationship while at the same time trying to deal with creditors, messed up plumbing, paying bills, raising the kids, and the multitude of other things that before took two people to accomplish.

In 1985 the Friends were invited by the Project Wellington Committee to take on the role of Friends of the Wellington Statue, a great national monument to the Duke of Wellington and a symbol of Aldershot's pride in its military heritage. The Friends were pleased to take on this project, as it falls well within the Friends terms of reference, which encompasses all aspects of military Aldershot within the boundary of the pre-1939 Aldershot Command. Since taking on the Wellington Statue project, the Friends have researched the history of the statue, designed and erected interpretative boards at the statue, and designed an information leaflet about the monument. They are actively collaborating with other groups within the Wellington Project for further improvements to the landscape around the statue and for improvements to the paths to the top of the mound to enable visitors to see the great sculpture at close quarters.
The colossal statue of the Duke of Wellington stands in the area of Aldershot Military Camp, renowned as "The Home of the British Army", and represents Aldershot's pride in its military heritage and the achievements of the Army in the defence of the United Kingdom. The origins of the statue go back to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, when various memorials to the British triumphs were begun, including Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square and the victory arch at Hyde Park Corner. In 1837 a committee was formed under the Chairmanship of the Duke of Rutland to raise funds for a military memorial to the Duke of Wellington. The sculptor was Matthew Cotes Wyatt, a highly controversial choice at the time. The monument was made on a massive scale, the largest equestrian statue hitherto seen in Britain. The final statue was 30 feet high, 26 feet from nose to tail, and 21 feet in girth. It weighed 40 tons.
In 1846 the statue was moved in a grand procession from Wyatt's workshop to Hyde Park Corner where it was erected on the unfinished victory arch, again amidst much controversy, for many believed it was completely out of scale. However, it could not be moved as this would be an insult to the ageing Duke of Wellington and by the time of his death the public had become used to the statue and the controversy died down. In 1882 traffic congestion at Hyde Park Corner resulted in the re-alignment of the victory arch. The controversy about the Wellington Statue was re-ignited and the Government decided to replace it with a figure of Victory.
After removal from the arch, the statue was left in Green Park until a decision was made on its future, as no sites in London were considered suitable. In 1883 the Prince of Wales suggested that the statue should be taken to the great military Camp in Aldershot "where it will be highly regarded by the Army". This was agreed and the statue was brought to Aldershot in pieces during August 1884.
The re-assembled monument was handed over to the care of the Army in August 1885.
Standing out against the skyline, the Wellington Statue rapidly became a well-known landmark and a symbol of military Aldershot.
The Statue fell into decline through the second half of the twentieth century. By the Millennium the monument was in a poor state and largely hidden by overgrown bushes and trees.
At the beginning of 2004 Aldershot Garrison, in partnership with local conservation groups and volunteers, began a major project to restore the Wellington Statue to its former glory. Overgrown bushes were cleared by volunteers, while restorers cleaned and re-bronzed the statue so it could be seen as intended, with the remarkable details revealed and the skill of Matthew Cotes Wyatt once again fully appreciated.
Although the main restoration work has been completed, more work needs to be done on the restoration of the original paths, planting and railings, as well as wider landscape improvements to the area. Headquarters Aldershot Garrison continue to lead the project, with support from Rushmoor Council and other groups. The Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, whose area of interest covers all of military Aldershot, have taken on the role of Friends of the Statue, and the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership provides voluntary assistance with the soft landscaping. If you would like to find out how you can help preserve this great monument, please e-mail the Friends:-
The Friends also researched, designed and erected interpretative boards by the great Wellington Statue, to inform visitors of its history and significance.
The Wellington Monument is close to Aldershot town centre and is easily accessible on foot or by car, with a free car park adjacent to the statue. Aldershot is a few minutes from the M3 or the A31 and there is a frequent train service from London Waterloo.
After time, the Information Boards around the Wellington Statue, commissioned by the Friends, have suffered from the weather. The wooden frames had rotted and there was a build-up of grime behind the Perspex sheets. The signs were in danger of collapsing.
In September 2017, the boards were repositioned on the metal railings around the statue.
Unfortunately, the fixings weren't strong enough to hold the boards. However, the Friends have rescued the boards. Gerry (our Chairman) has made new frames and has fixed them securely to the metal railing around the statue.

In this review, we find out if Redgrass Games' Everlasting Wet Palette lives up to the hype of its Kickstarter success, and how a wet palette can improve your painting even if you're not a wet blending expert or Golden Demon level painter.
This item was kindly provided by Redgrass Games. Opinions are our own.
Redgrass Games' Everlasting Wet Palette is available in two sizes, the 15 x 20 cm Painter Edition, and the larger Studio XL version, measuring 20 x 30 cm. The Complete Pack comes with 50 sheets of hydration paper, 2 hydration foam pads, 1 magnetic "Wavy" palette accessory, and 1 strap band. There is also a cheaper Starter pack with only 15 sheets, a single foam pad, plus the strap band.
The palette is made from two pieces of sturdy, high-quality plastic, with a rubber lip for an air-proof seal once you install the strap. I have to say, I'm not too fond of the colour choices, the orange and grey make it look like a child's toy, I'd have preferred a more subdued dark grey or black, but that's up to personal preference. The size is about a sheet of DIN A5 paper, which should be plenty for most painters. In fact, on my compact paint station, I found I would prefer an even smaller size, so I would appreciate it when Redgrass Games would come up with an extra small version in the uture. But for most people, the size of the Painter edition will be perfect.
The included foam pads fit nicely, absorb water very well and stay hydrated for days and weeks, especially when you store the wet palette air-sealed in your refrigerator. The pads are mould repellant and, should they dry out, can easily be restored with adding water again. The hydration sheets also come in the perfect size, I wasn't able to apply them perfectly wrinkle-free, I probably need some practice, but then a couple of wrinkles didn't bother me at all when painting.
The Everlasting Wet Palette's gimmick is the three magnetic docks to which you can attach "Wavy" palette accessories. The painter edition comes with one "Wavy" expansion that has five wells for inks and washes, as you don't want to come them into contact with water. You can buy additional "Wavys", I think Redgrass Games also used to sell a magnetic pot holder, but it seems to be no longer available. The "Wavy" is made from smooth hard plastic and is easy to clean.
I haven't used a wet palette for years because I just thought it wasn't necessary, as I rarely do any wet blending, nor do I mix paints that often. Having used this palette for a couple of weeks now, oh, how wrong I was. A wet palette is an essential hobby item, even if you're not considering yourself a pro painter. I wrote a ToP Tip post with five ideas how a wet palette will change your hobby, make sure to check it out if you don't use a wet palette yet.
The Complete pack of the 15 x 20 cm Painter edition has an RRP of 29,90 Euro / £ 34.99, but there is also the cheaper Starter pack with fewer accessories priced at a very competitive 19,90 Euro / £ 18.00. The Studio XL version is 42,90 Euro / £ 44.99. Not too cheap, but I think the quality and thought Redgrass Games put into these palettes is worth it, plus you get a lot of sheets and foams that will last you for months or even years depending on your painting output. The wet palettes are available from redgrassgames.com or at our partner stores Wayland Games and Element Games at a 10% discount. Additional packs of Painter size foams are 4,50 Euro / £ 4.50, packs of 50 Painter size hydration sheets are 7.90 Euro / £ 8.99, with the Studio XL versions slightly more expensive.
Final Verdict
All in all, I'm very impressed with the quality and design of Redgrass Games' Everlasting Wet Palette. Sure, you could DIY a wet palette easily, but if you are looking for a readily available solution that will last you a long time, this is it.

I have been using this palet for a few months now and it's a real joy to paint with it. I just find the wavy palet not really good tu use with metallic paints because it's hard to have a pointy brush with it … but that's really a little point to complain on regarding the usefulness of the wet palet

How to Choose the Right Toothpaste
How to choose the right toothpaste? This question probably arises in the head at least once.
To keep teeth healthy and strong for many years, it's necessary to choose the right hygienic care. Everyone knows the rule to brush your teeth twice a day, but does everyone know the criteria for choosing toothpaste? Probably not. There are many options available today. Thanks to advertising, people often buy toothpaste that works badly or doesn't fit categorically. What do you need to know to buy the best toothpaste?
First of all, you need to visit your dentist for a consultation. He will examine the oral cavity, assess the condition of the tooth enamel, and advise on effective toothpaste that will fit the patient. Some people have a plaque on their teeth, stains on the enamel, and painful and bleeding gums. All these symptoms indicate that the teeth need comprehensive protection. When choosing a toothpaste, it's necessary to take into account all the nuances: nutrition, lifestyle, bad habits, enamel condition, a tendency to the formation of tartar.
Before choosing among the many toothpaste brands, you need to know that they are divided into several categories by their purpose.
- Hygienic. They are for people who are fortunate enough to have healthy teeth and gums. Such kinds of toothpaste are used for daily brushing of teeth and breath freshening.
- Treatment-and-prophylactic. Toothpaste of this group contains ingredients that ensure high- quality hygiene, as well as active agents that help prevent or eliminate specific diseases of the oral cavity (gums, teeth).
- Medicinal. This category includes products that contain high concentrations of active ingredients that help to treat certain diseases of the oral cavity. Various enzymes and additives reduce bleeding gums and have a positive effect on the oral mucosa.
The patient can choose hygienic and treatment-and-prophylactic toothpaste on his own, relying on his experience, advertising or advice from other people, but with medicinal ones - only the doctor can prescribe them. Such kinds of toothpaste are not suitable for long-term daily use. They are used once or on a course. Also, all dental cleaners have their characteristics that affect their efficiency.
Does Whitening Toothpaste Work?
First of all, it's necessary to clearly understand that such toothpaste does not whiten but only clean the teeth. The initial task of all dental pastes is to remove a plaque, which negatively affects the enamel and leads to caries. If the patient has tartar, then on first place is professional dental cleaning and only then using sensitive toothpaste to maintain the whiteness and cleanliness of the teeth. The cleaning process takes place due to the mechanical action of soft abrasive materials and enzymes. At the same time, the smile acquires the color of natural enamel. It's not recommended to use constantly whitening toothpaste - a month of use is enough, then you need to change it to other types.
The advantages of such items are that it's a safer and less expensive way to brighten the enamel. At the same time, long-term use reduces protection, increases the sensitivity of the teeth, changes the color of the fillings, forms micropores that lead to tooth decay.
Charcoal Toothpaste for a Beautiful and White Smile: is It Worth It?
This toothpaste has become popular thanks to an advertisement that periodically appear all over the place. Charcoal has now gained popularity in many cosmetics, including toothpaste. It's highly absorbent and used to remove toxins. But is it effective in brushing and whitening your teeth?
The activated carbon in__ organic toothpaste__ can remove surface stains from teeth. The charcoal toothpaste feels like a scrub, just for the teeth. It acts in much the same way on the tissues of the teeth and gums, and this contributes to damage to the enamel and the development of caries. Not recommended for those who suffer from hypersensitivity of the oral cavity. Another disadvantage is the absence of fluoride in the paste, which plays a decisive role in dental health.
Many people may wonder whether the presence of fluoride in toothpaste is so important.
It's the only substance that can prevent caries, tooth decay and slow down the process of calculus formation. However, in high concentrations, fluoride can be dangerous. Its excess can cause fluorosis - a dental disease in which the enamel changes its color. Therefore, when making a choice, especially with kids' toothpaste, it's necessary to monitor the level of fluoride, but not neglect it. If the patient is getting enough of this element from other sources or simply wants to avoid being oversaturation, buying fluoride free toothpaste will be a good decision.
To preserve a beautiful smile, dentists recommend brushing teeth in the morning and the evening. However, the choice of toothpaste must be approached very responsibly - otherwise, instead of benefit, health may be significantly harmed. Therefore, before making a purchase, consult a specialist who will select the most effective dental care.

The 2020 Johnson County Fair & Rodeo is history and was one of only a handful of county fairs that were held in nearly normal fashion.
The crowd who watched the rodeo parade down Main Street included people from other parts of the state who came to enjoy the rodeo and the parade as well.
Winners of the parade entries were Whistlenut and Ole Rodeo Team, Grouse Mountain Archery in the adult entries.
Krazy Kritters in a Krazy World was the youth entry winner and Big Horn Baptist was the church winner.
Raising of the Flag by Barnum Construction was the winner in the Commercial division as well as the overall winner.
Holding the fair amidst so many county fair cancellations across the state, could be an interesting test case for the COVID-19 pandemic in the next 14 days.

The Slovenian landscape is very varied. Karawanken, Julian and Steiner Alps, rivers such as the Soča and finally the coastal region form a unique composition.
Vacation in Slovenia
" The sunny side of the Alps ", " the ski resort on the Adriatic " – Slovenia has won many titles. While these slogans may sound like they come from the tourist web catalog, they mostly apply. Small towns like Kranj, for example, are an ideal vacation spot both in summer and in winter. In winter you can warm up in the valley after the descent and in summer plan the route to the next mountain.
However, you should only spend your vacation in summer – on the Adriatic coast on the beach. Slovenia has a small stretch of coast on the Gulf of Venice in the Mediterranean. Probably the most beautiful coastal town is Piran. The town was part of the Venetian Empire between the 13th and 18th centuries. The architecture on the coast differs considerably from that in the interior.
City trip to Ljubljana
The capital Ljubljana offers a lot of culture. The city, which is called Laibach in German, is named in Slovenian after the river Ljubljanica. It is also he who shapes the city. And so the old town is east of the river and the more modern part is west of it. The " 3 bridges ", three bridges that all lead over the river and end in a square, Prešeren Square, are particularly attractive. There is a statue of the national hero France Prešeren and the University of Ljubljana on the square.

Glad to see that my gift made it overseas! :-)
Mine came in, but unsure who my Santa was because Amazon conveniently lost the shipping receipt! :-) My photo didn't look nice so here is a better one: Very fun game! It's a word-association party game. Anomia is the word for when you cannot think of the word for something, and that basically is how the game goes. We played with some friends we had in town this weekend and had a blast. Thank you Santa! :-D -Katie

In addition to @@oPossum 's awesome advice, the final point that always confuses people is that each Timer has TWO different ISRs. One (TIMER0_A0_VECTOR) is a special higher priority one just for TA0CCR0, and its interrupt flag is cleared automatically by entering the ISR at all. The other one (TIMER0_A1_VECTOR) is for all of the other TA0CCRx interrupts and TAIE - this is the one that uses TAIV - its highest-priority pending flag is cleared by reading TAIV. This code example uses both of them, so you can see: http://dev.ti.com/tirex/#/?link=MSPWare%2FDevices%2FMSP430%2FMSP430G2XX%2FMSP430
Hi @@MSPLife, @@enl's summary above is spot on. One or two more additions about BSL - with the BSL password protection, as @@enl mentioned you cannot read out the part unless you provide the correct 32-byte BSL password. Now, if you provide an incorrect password, the part will do a mass erase which should get rid of the code in the part - that is to try to help against someone brute-forcing your password. After your code is erased, there's not anything for them to read anymore of value. This should all be described in www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slau319 The other point I wanted to make was,
Hi @@nickn, Looks like you are using driverlib function calls - great! It is recommended to use the PMM_setVCore() function call from driverlib for setting the Vcore level before you change the clock - this has the most recent implementation of what @@fatihinanc showed you in their code. This will do all the single stepping of the core and required checks for you. For using the UCS functions you mentioned - are you using CCS? If you have CCSv6 with MSP430ware, go to View > Resource Explorer and you can see in MSP430ware under Libraries there is Driver Library, and there should be ex
There's also this app note here: www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slaa513 (Note that it will soon be updated though because of this E2E thread: e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/p/403099/1428736#1428736 - so make note. I think this issue shouldn't matter on G2211 though because of its limited pin and timer options) -Katie
@@Optronik, See the datasheet www.ti.com/lit/gpn/msp430g2553 p. 30. You'll see under Test Conditions that the calibration is done at 30C and 3V. The spec to the right then specs what tolerance you'll get off of this 30C/3V calibrated frequency when you use it across the full 0-85C at 3V, or across 1.8-3.6V at 30C, and across both -40-85C and 1.8-3.6V. -Katie
Hi @@Optronik, Just a note - Your mention earlier about using 32kHz with FLL to help set the DCO is actually what is done on some of the other newer MSP430 device families. You may want to take a look at the MSP430FR2033 for example (its big brother with LCD is also found on MSP-EXP430FR4133 Launchpad). This device uses the external crystal as an input to an FLL with the DCO to constantly keep tuning and adjusting the DCO to a specific frequency. Something similar is also done on MSP430F5xx/6xx devices if you ever use those. So what you are asking about is something that is done, it's
Similarly, this will allow you to do the same thing but across all MSP sub-families (2xx, 5xx, FRxx, etc) as well: http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/microcontrollers_16-bit_32-bit/msp/products.page For more detailed information than what is in this comparison tool online though, it is always best to check the specific device datasheet. The User's Guides cover an entire sub-family and so they include information on every possible module in that sub-family, so to see if a particular module or feature is present in a specific device it is best to check the datasheet. Regards, Katie

Ok I'll fess up - it was me :-) Though I've got to give a hat-tip to @@ILAMtitan for the inspiration (and letting me use his book) hahaha. I'm just disappointed that although I sit right next to you (which makes trolling easier ) I somehow missed the opening of both of these, and thus the reaction. Probably a good thing though, as I really have no poker-face at all and would have smiled and laughed too obviously.
Came home yesterday to this tiny bundle of awesome waiting in my mailbox: Quarter for scale. IT'S SO TINY AND ADORABLE!!! It pretty much looks and sounds like a big bee when you're flying it around. Still working on hovering/landing without wiping out - was starting to get better towards the end of the night. Fortunately it's been pretty durable so far despite all my crash landings. If I can master it maybe we'll get an action shot/video posted up here :-) I will also have to buy my husband one for Christmas now because he can't stop playing with it and is super jealous hahaha.
Yeah unfortunately this is because of different pinouts as you alluded to. There is a board that supports FR4xx - but it is a new one: http://www.ti.com/tool/msp-ts430pm64d. If you want to learn more about the IR module there's also an app note about it: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slaa644 Really fun if you want to make your own remote control :-) Right - currently this device is just sampling engineering samples so people can start designing with it now to be able to go to production at release. Production orders can only be placed later at full release and those parts w
Hi @@mrinverter, There are a few things that jump out at me: 1. Your GPIO setting looks incorrect to me. You are using P2.5 + P2.6 for UCA1TXD/RXD. However, looking at the FR5969 datasheet http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/msp430fr5969 on p. 88 table 6-52 I see this for the pin setup: You need to have P2SEL1 bit 5 and 6 set to 1, and P2SEL0 bit 5 and 6 set to 0. Right now, it looks like your code does the opposite: P2SEL0 |= RXD + TXD; //Setup the I/O //P2SEL1 |= RXD + TXD; So switch which line is commented out. 2. You are now using FR5969. This device has an eUSCI module (en

Last week, a meeting of the Public Administration and Appropriations Committee (PAAC) of the Parliament in Jamaica called for officials at the Ministry of Education to appear before it to give an account of the Ministry's operations. The reason for the summoning is a suspected corruption case that hit the news on March 20 that saw Ruel Reid, Minister of Education, Youth and Information, handing in his resignation, while maintaining his innocence.
"I see that there is a problem that signals a governance issue, a breakdown in supervision and oversight by the Minister and I have to intervene" said the Prime Minister before the House of Representatives, as the news broke.
The case unfolded with the questioning in an audit of the Ministry of Education conducted by the Auditor General's Department (AGD). The audit is focused on "whether the selected public entities procurement and contracts management activities were conducted to attain value for money (which encompasses the achievement of economy, efficiency and effectiveness)".
In the 2017/8 GEM Report we showed the importance of horizontal accountability mechanisms, such as audits, for exposing corruption, or mis-management within governments. They can also go beyond assessing compliance to audit performance, examining whether service provision is efficient and effective, whether policies and spending align with wider government and sector objectives, and whether organizational decision-making is sound. Poland's Supreme Audit Office has carried out audits on issues ranging from the use of public funds for education institutions and research to the education of Polish citizens living abroad. The Swedish National Audit Office's audit of the role of tertiary education institutions in providing lifelong learning opportunities led to a recommendation to the government to review incentive structures for such institutions.
Performance audits are increasingly common even in middle income countries. The Royal Audit Authority of Bhutan identified deficiencies in the school feeding programme and recommended setting standard dietary requirements, adapting menus accordingly and establishing a quality control system with an independent assessor.
Unfortunately, often the oversight function of audit mechanisms is not effective, which has partly to do with capacity. In Bangladesh, there was an average delay of 5 years before government agencies responded to audit observations on primary education and 10 years on secondary, for instance. In Sri Lanka, the Committee on Public Accounts demands follow-up on objections raised by the auditor general. For example, action against the director of an education department has been recommended, yet there has been no follow-up
Outside of public accounts committees, permanent committees on education in the legislatures can help hold governments to account, even though in practice their roles vary between countries. Analysis in the 2017/8 GEM Report of New Zealand, Norway, Peru, the United States and Zambia showed that committees usually carried out ex post reviews and provided oversight on legislation and executive actions, e.g. scrutinizing government actions, reviewing existing laws and recommending changes.
In short, while the facts are still unfolding, the case in the news in Jamaica at present shows how important it is for countries to invest in strong institutions to detect and deter corruption in education. The risk of corruption in all sectors and all levels require accountability mechanisms to be taken seriously. Our 2017/8 GEM Report is a good place to find out more about them.

By Flynn Geraghty, associate editor-in-chief
Back in grade school, my absolute favorite book series was A Series of Unfortunate Events. I took it incredibly seriously, going as far as taking notes about what was going on and even formulating my own theories (see the pages from 6-year-old Flynn's notebook).
So, when I found out that a Netflix series based on those books was coming out this year, I freaked out. Every day last week, I would turn to my friends and nonchalantly say something along the lines of, "Hey, guys, guess what? A Series of Unfortunate Events comes out in three days. Well, actually, it's two days and eight hours, but who's counting?"
Needless to say, by the end of the week, they were all tired of hearing about it.
Nevertheless, I came home on Friday and I binge-watched all eight episodes
in one night over a bowl of popcorn and a pint of ice cream.
For all of you who were not obsessed as I was, the series focuses on the Baudelaire orphans: Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Their parents recently died in a fire that destroyed their home and everything in it. So, they get placed in the custody of Count Olaf, a distant relative with a tattoo of an eye on his ankle and an obvious desire to get his hands on their immense fortune.
For starters, the show is able to so well emulate the dark, twisted sense of humor that made the books so great. This might've been because the author of the books, Daniel Handler, otherwise known as Lemony Snicket, has been very involved in the production of the show. It really carries through, because many lines from the show are taken straight from the books, or only slightly altered. Plus, there are several little nods to fans of the books scattered throughout the show, like the mention a missing sugar bowl.
Not to mention, the atmosphere is really unique and is also able to imitate the books. Everything is so extravagant and grand, while also being able to retain its own style that doesn't really look like anything else. The show loves to utilize both bright and dark colors and is able to contrast them so well. It
just looks amazing.
The casting overall is pretty solid. I have to applaud the fact that they
took it upon themselves to cast people of color in roles that could've been filled by any other white actor. The only issue I had initially was with the people who play the three main characters. The way they deliver their lines in an intentionally flat way can get distracting at first, mainly because Neil Patrick Harris is cranked up to an 11 the whole time. But, once you get used to it, it actually fits the tone of the show quite well.
The same could be said for Patrick Warburton, who plays Lemony Snicket. I could see they were going for a Rod Serling-type character, but all I could see was Patrick Warburton. But, as the show went on, I got more used to him and I liked him more and more.
One thing to note is that the show is not really meant to be watched in one sitting. Each episode is so long and dense that when you watch it all at once, it's easy to lose interest. The show works best if watched in two-episode installments, since two episodes cover one book.
Nevertheless, A Series of Unfortunate Events is anything but an unfortunate series. It's so clear that a lot of care and effort went into making it and it so well captures the spirit and fun of the books. I'm practically counting the hours until season two comes out.

The environment inside the sphere may be suitable for carrying out polymerisation reactions or for drug delivery.
Applications are starting to emerge. These include the treatment of cancer by acting as x-ray opaque markers. (if the dendrimer is functionalised with the appropriate groups, of course). Display technologies may also benefit from the possibility of creating conductive polymers which can switch current depending on temperature or chemical environment.
They are scientifically interesting since they have unique properties which differentiate them from the conventional linear, branched and hyperbranched polymers.
The synthesis may be convergent or divergent, that is it may start from the outside and grow inwards or start from the inside and grow outwards.
Self assembly of spherical dendrimers into 3D lattices is possible. These dendrimers spontaneously self organise into a complex structure that may reconfigure into a different structure when the temperature or chemical environment changes.

Senate Democrats want to CTRL+Z FCC net neutrality repeal
The controversy over net neutrality hasn't died down a bit. In December, the Federal Communications Commission overturned rules that prevent internet service providers from blocking, slowing down or charging more to access content online. The ruling drew the ire of internet users and small business owners arguing that net neutrality protects consumers and internet startups. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai even skipped the tech trade show CES this year over reported death threats. Lawsuits are in the works.
Since the December ruling, states are considering their own laws, and this week 44 senators, including Republican Susan Collins of Maine, said they'll support a bill that would overturn the FCC's ruling. Using the Congressional Review Act, Congress can overturn regulations with a simple majority within 60 days of them being issued with no possibility of a filibuster. Congressional Republicans used it a lot last spring, including overturning FCC rules that protected consumer broadband privacy.
If the resolution passes, it would essentially undo the agency's December vote, but it would also prevent the FCC from passing the same set of rules over again.
Marketplace host Molly Wood spoke with Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachussetts, who introduced the Congressional Review Act resolution. Below is an edited transcript of their conversation.
Molly Wood: Even if this bill passes in the Senate, isn't it very unlikely that the House and the president would restore net neutrality?
Sen. Edward Markey: I don't agree with that. I think that the momentum is going to be very, very powerful. Net neutrality is a bipartisan issue. Eighty-three percent of Americans when polled say they support it. So I think that there is a vast misunderstanding about the power of this issue, and assuming it can't pass in the House is a big mistake, is really assuming that this issue doesn't continue to rise to a point where it becomes very difficult for a swing state Republicans to vote against it.
Wood: Is the bill partly also an effort then to sort of put people on the record?
Markey: Yeah, I think that it's important for the American people in an election year to know who wanted to repeal net neutrality and who wanted to keep net neutrality. And I think there's going to be a political price to pay for those who are on the wrong side of history.
Wood: Do you think you have the votes for it to pass in the Senate?
Markey: We're getting very, very close. [On Tuesday], Sen. Susan Collins from Maine became the first Republican to pledge her support. So we really just need a simple majority 51 votes.
Wood: Does this also set the stage for net neutrality legislation at some point soon? Like you said, there's bipartisan support. That's long been something that's been discussed as an option for taking this issue sort of out of the hands of the FCC.
Markey: The focus first is going to be on the Congressional Review Act. And I think we're going to win. But we also are going to take this to the courts. These smaller entrepreneurial companies are going to file in federal court, and I think that we are going to win in the courts if we don't win in the Senate and the House. But I think we can win in the Senate and the House as well.
Wood: So is it more important then in the short term to make sure that the repeal does not become the law of the land rather than pursue a legislative solution right now?
Markey: Either way, the goal should be to restore the old rules, because nothing that could ever be codified by the Congress will have anywhere near the protections that are inside of the net neutrality rules.
Wood: And then finally, I want to ask you about enforcement. If your bill does make it all the way through the president, the FCC would still have to enforce those net neutrality rules. Do you think that that's likely under the current leadership?
Markey: On the one hand, I appreciate the fact that this FCC doesn't support net neutrality, but on the other hand, it will be the law, and they'll have a requirement to enforce it, and if they don't, then competitors and individuals can sue the FCC saying that they're not doing their job, because the job will be to ensure that net neutrality is a policy that offers protection to anyone using the internet.
