text: Lit a cigarette again on a quiet lonely morning on my way home. The town was in a sound sleep, except for the taxis driving the drunk back home with 100 km/h on the empty main road. The Pall Mall gave me a foretaste of what is going to come next in my life, though it tasted good, which only means I was sad and conscious enough, relaxed enough to breathe properly and forgiving enough to smile at my hometown. My hometown is only wonderful when everyone is in a sound sleep, so I can have its goddamn attention all to myself. If you know what it is like feeling sober without having drunk before, without having done drugs before or without having had anger outbreaks before – and how simply the power of a little town's tranquillity, the smell of the morning sun and the taste of a Pall Mall, you'll most likely know what I am talking about. The jaded subconscious climbs up on the shoulders of your tiredness for a moment, though without bad intention – truce and peace between good and evil evoke a string of wakefulness and all you do is walk slowly with confidence and determination. The way it should be. Moments like these often last up to 3 minutes only. Cherish and breathe those moments when you encounter them, please. Think about lonely riders like Kerouac, Böll and Thoreau and how they had made sweet love to those moments; those moments which are only granted when the balance of the mind is right when the heartbeat is the same as Depeche Mode's intro in the song "Somebody". If they say free will and freedom are non-existent, you'll know that they only lack imagination, the never-ending road in our head surprises us each day, whenever we decide to walk this road. Some people are just too lazy to walk, too apathetic to explore or too scared to risk their existing stability; scared of losing track and scared of being alone. I just can't deal with them. They stop in the middle of the road, build a house at the side and invite me in. The house feels warm, but it's indescribably foreign and wrong in so many ways like the large full stop they use as a doormat indicating that this is where it all ends. But everything is ok, because they are smiling, because they are holding hands and because they are kissing. It's only me who decides to continue exploring the road. I'm in search of a machine gun.

Advances in Consumer Research Volume 27, 2000 Page 255
Eric R. Spangenberg, Washington State University
Therese A. Louie, University of Washington
David E. Sprott, Washington State University
The importance of behavioral self-predictions is self-evident in the field of consumer behavior where consumers are often asked to estimate future behavior and researchers use self-predictions as a proxy for many theoretical constructs. Research suggests, however, that the act of making a self-prediction is by no means benign, and often has substantial import from theoretical, managerial and societal perspectives. The special session consisted of four papers presenting new research addressing the (1) nature of self-predictions and (2) effects of self-predictions.
The Nature of Self-Predictions
When planning future actions or forecasting purchases, consumers engage in the process of making predictions. Despite consumers best intentions, research findings suggest many occasions when predictions are not diagnostic of eventual behavior. Thus, moderators of prediction accuracy were explored in the sessions first paper and an attempt to deal with prediction inaccuracy was proposed in the second. Therese Louie and A. Wayne Perkins (both University of Washington) investigated predictions related to time management in the context of the planning fallacy (e.g., Buehler et al. 1994)Cthe tendency for individuals to underestimate taskcompletion times. Their research investigates the impact of risk, information processing, and gender on planning estimates.
The second paper focused on prediction inaccuracies as applied to purchase intentions. Vicki Morwitz (New York University), Gavan Fitzsimons (Pennsylvania), Don Lehman (Columbia) and Don Morrison (UCLA) explored integration of self-prediction in a support system for go-no-go decisions. Using a direct marketing database for a new product, self-prediction responses are adjusted for measurement and non-response artifacts, reducing error caused by prediction biases.
Effects of Self-Predictions
It has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts that prediction of ones own behavior often has interesting and important consequences (e.g., Spangenberg and Greenwald 1999). Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that predicting future behavior can alter the likelihood of its performance. Regarding this "self-prophecy effect," prior research has clearly established the importance of the effect (average effect size, r=.20) while theoretical understanding is lacking. A paper by Eric Spangenberg, David Sprott (both Washington State), and Robert Fisher (Western Ontario) explored potential theoretical accounts for self-prophecy related to social norms. Among other findings, impression management was eliminated as an explanation for the effect of self-prophecy.
In the sessions final paper, Gavan Fitzsimons (Pennsylvania) and Baba Shiv (Iowa) explored whether presuppositions have effects similar to those found with intentions and predictions. Rationally, statements like, "If President Clinton had engaged in obstruction of justice, do you think he ought to be indicted?" should have little impact on individuals decisions. These authors demonstrated, however, that such statements could have effects on peoples choices, causing effects similar to factual information.

USCG has issued a notice to all mariners serving on vessels subject to the STCW Convention to remind that 2010 amendments to the STCW Convention will come into force on January 1, 2017.
The notice specifies the requirements that will become effective January 1, 2017 and includes information about STCW gap closing requirements; Electronic Chart Display Information Systems (ECDIS) limitations; Renewal of certain STCW endorsements on or after January 1, 2017; Qualified Assessor (QA)
STCW Gap Closing Requirements
Gap closing requirements are additional training requirements that must be met to facilitate full compliance with the STCW Convention by January 1, 2017. Mariners with an operationalor management-level STCW endorsement will not be able to renew their endorsement after December 31, 2016, without meeting the additional training and assessment requirements (see the Notice below)
ECDIS Limitations
A limitation of "not valid for service on ECDIS equipped vessels" will be placed on STCW deck officer endorsements if evidence of required ECDIS training is not provided after January 1, 2017. This limitation or the limitation "Not valid for service on ECDIS equipped vessels after December 31, 2016" can be removed at any time, free of charge, by submitting a credential application (CG-719B) requesting a modification and including your course completion certificate.
Renewal of Certain STCW Endorsements on or after January 1, 2017
There are new requirements that will take effect the first time a mariner renews an MMC with STCW endorsements on or after January 1, 2017. Renewal of basic training, advanced firefighting, and proficiency in survival craft requires evidence of revalidation training, refresher training, or a retake of the original training course.
Qualified Assessor (QA)
All assessments of competence for STCW endorsements must be signed by a Coast Guardapproved QA in accordance with 46 CFR 11.301(a)(1)(i) and 12.601(b)(1)(i). QAs must be approved by the Coast Guard either individually or as part of a Coast Guard-approved or accepted course or training program, as described in NVIC 19-14.
NVIC 02-14, (Grandfathering and Transitional Provisions for Merchant Mariner Credentials), Enclosure (2), allows for the acceptance of STCW assessments, performed for and signed by an assessor not approved by the Coast Guard, until December 31, 2016. Such an assessor must meet the professional requirements in 46 CFR 10.405(a)(3) to determine competence for the specific endorsement.
The Coast Guard is aware that as a result of the limited number of approved QAs, there may be a hardship on mariners trying to complete STCW assessments after December 31, 2106. In consideration of this, the Coast Guard will continue to allow STCW assessments to be signed by an assessor who meets the requirements specified in NVIC 02-14 until December 31, 2017. These assessments must be submitted to the Coast Guard as part of a complete application no later than June 30, 2018

Sept 8th 1872
My dearest Mildred
Yours & Ma's letters of the 4th reached me two or three days ago. The love & sympathy expressed is very dear to me, & a great comfort. I have delayed writing, hoping every day to have some cheering news to tell about Lottie. She is still about the same. Some times she appears a little stronger, & then falls back again in the same day. I think she is more comfortable the last three or four days, has had better nights & better days. But I can't see that she has gained any strength, or that her cough, which is racking her to pieces, has lessened any. Phil came up Friday & Mrs Grundy arrived here last night; she is so bright, cheerful & good humored, & so beloved by them all, especially Charlotte, that I think her presence gave her (C) more pleasure than she has had since she has been so sick. She was really quite bright yesterday & comfortable, & I believe has had a good night. I hav'nt heard from her yet but every thing is very quiet in her room & that is a good sign. I told her yesterday I intended to write this morning & she sends you all her very best love & thanks for all your love & kindness to her. Wishes she could write herself & that she could see you. She is very patient & very sweet, & some times when free from suffering, her face looks just the same, with her bright eyes & bright color & glimpses of her old humor are shewing themselves all the time, in her talk with us, even in taking her medicines. She is always interested very much in your & your great trouble & is thinking as much of the trials & sufferings of others as she is of herself. I don't know anything we can do for her, I wish we did, except to keep her as comfortable as possible. The Doctors told me this in the spring, but I had no idea it would come so soon. She may rally now & partially recover but as far as I know, from the opinions of others, it is almost impossible for her to get well.
It is very hard, or it seems to us, that she should have to go; but it is so the world over, every one is suffering the same way & why should we be exempt? You must give my best love to Ma & all at home.
Tabb & the baby. Your letters are a great pleasure & comfort to me & you must write when you can. There is nothing that you can do for us here. We know that you would if it were possible. You must tell me all about yourself & how your lameness is getting on.
Good bye
Ever yours

The City of Ongus
Ongus is the capital of the Kingdom of Albion.
Ongus is the capital city of Albion. It has a permanent population of approximately 40,000 people but can swell considerably on occasion. The city was founded during the days when the Selentine Empire occupied Albion, and it has persisted ever since although at times, its population fell dramatically. Today, the only parts of the old Selentine City that still remain are the core structure of the city walls, the old fortress known as Oldfort, a few ruins (most notably a ruined temple to the Selentine God of War, although small ruins can be seen scattered about the city, and some buildings may have old stonework and brickwork incorporated in them) and a number of old Latrina – public toilet facilities – scattered about the city that make use of the still intact sewer system that runs under the city – it was built to last).
The city is governed by a City Council (made up of representatives elected by 'Freemen of the City' in each Ward, and from each Guild) headed by a Lord Mayor elected from the council each year. It acknowledges no Lord but the King himself as any inherent authority over the city. The Guilds (many of which have built grand Guild Halls over the last fifty years or so) are the true core of the city's power.
The city is divided into areas refers to as 'Wards', along with a couple of other districts within and without the walls. Only Wards are entitled to return members to the Council.

This is a special edition hardcover photobook featuring the early works of Masao Gozu. In "Windows", the series Gozu began shooting shortly after moving to Brooklyn in 1971, Gozu photographed the people in New York's immigrant quarters as they looked out of their apartment windows at a passing parade. The two other series included in the book are also portrayals of life in downtown 1970's New York: in "264 Bowery Street" Gozu repeatedly shot a doorstep and the people using it as a resting stop over several months and even years while the "Harry's Bar" series shows glass windows of a bar and the guests sitting behind them.

Employer costs related to unhealthy employees have reached $1.1 trillion in the UK and US, and is growing annually by 6.5%. Healthcare costs are projected to surpass wages by 2033. More than 75% of healthcare costs are spent on treatment, even though it is a proven fact that acting proactive and thus preventing illness is far more efficient for all stakeholders. At 7peaks we have combined technology, gamification and health science to launch a scaleable mhealth platform that reduces healthcare costs by producing healthy change of behavior among employees. 7peaks enables businesses and employees to peak - 7 days a week.

You deserve
The brightest stars
The clearest skies
The wildest love
Of the fiercest kinds.
Daily Prompt: Fierce
You deserve
6 responses to "Daily Prompt: Fierce"
I really like your poem, the rhythm that you set up … "the brightest stars," "the clearest skies," "the wildest love," the symmetry is great, and up to this point everything sounds pleasant. And then the last line is really the best for me — "of the fiercest kinds" — powerful, especially the word "fiercest" itself, really strong, the sound of the word is great, and it's in such contrast with the "bright" and "clear" and even "wild." It really opens the poem up to a lot of questions — is "fiercest" a good thing? or is it meant as a kind of snarl? Probably not, but I'm not sure. And why does the person "deserve" this? Great job! https://justuscreek.com
Wow! Thank you for reading and liking my poetry 😀 well, I realised my writings tend to reach out yet leave readers to their own interpretations or resonance with their personal experiences. 🙂 But if you'd like my take on it I could let you in on it. Thank you so much again – you made my day so much!
Well, to me, real love goes way beyond the aesthetics to encompassing even the worst of someone, the worst days, the worst situations, yet remain strong and steadfast in its unconditionality, to an extent that it's "wild" and "fierce" enough to withstand adversity, together with an element of being protective for the latter. The person who deserves such a kind of love must then be someone who is being loved dearly and very much as unconditionally as humanly possible. 🙂
I like that! I think you're saying that love, real love, HAS to be fierce and wild, that it can only survive the toughest of times if it has those qualities.
Well… Sometimes, it is tested like that yes 🙂 that someone is going through a rough patch and I'm basically trying to go fierce and wild at the moment hahaha! 😀

Brighten your flower beds with biennials and biennials. It is possible to fill gaps between shrubs or perennials. Some flowers you should use are rudbekia, cosmos, sunflower and marigold or sunflowers.
Bulbs are an excellent option for folks who wish to enjoy spring as well as in summer. Different kinds of bulbs bloom at different times, so choosing appropriately, you could have blooms early spring to later summer.
When the fall season approaches, you need to plant autumn edibles. A pumpkin could become a planting container instead of clay pots. Once you've cut its top and scooped the insides out, spray the interior and edges with Wilt-Pruf to hold the pumpkin from rotting.
Don't mow your grass down from the soil once you run the mower. The roots will grow deeper in to the soil, making the lawn stronger plus more proof against drying out, if you enable your grass to develop a little bit longer. Short grass on the other hand is prone to getting dried out and turning brown.
If you have a veggie garden, Pest control is very difficult. One of the ways you could help control garden pests away is always to remain diligent concerning your garden. You are able to take them out yourself effectively when you catch the pests early.
You just need a little homework, some operate in the great outdoors, plus some patience. The time and effort will pay off, and you will definitely notice a good reward for the effort.

If you own an Apple TV and a compatible controller, you'll want to check out the 22 games listed over on the next page.
No one buys an Apple TV for the sole purpose of playing video games, but if you've bought one for media streaming, then why not make full use of its functionality? Add a controller and it's now a very capable games console with a solid library of quality games.
Combine 2018's harvest with the Best Games of Year One (2015-16), and the Best Games of 2017, and you'll start to see the potential of this quiet, undiscovered country of gaming. You may even start to ask why it hasn't caught on.
But that's a discussion for another time.
Apart from the recognisable genres of 2D platform, aerial/space combat, RPG, and FPS, this year I've combined a whole bunch of games into an arcade/puzzle/adventure category. It covers a lot of games that blur the lines between genres; games for which an argument could be made for falling into multiple categories. So I've solved the problem by creating this overall arcade/puzzle/adventure bucket. Please forgive me.
Aside from the winners of each category, as with previous years I've included a selection of other games released in 2018 that players should definitely check out from the genre. Some of the "Also Get" games could easily have taken out the genre themselves; in fact it was hard not to pick ties with some of the categories.
Following this post, not long after will come ATVG's pick for 2018 Game of the Year. For those who'd like a clue, it won't be an auto-runner, or a small puzzle game. It'll be something worthy of a console. Something you'll require a controller for.
But that's enough about that.
Hit the continue button below to find out which games released in 2018 The Apple TV Gaming Blog thinks are worthy of your gaming time.

They are portrayed as invaders, refugees, saviors, observers, outsiders, opportunists, and sometimes as beings that barely notice our existence. Yet, outside of ...

Lorrie & James 20 years on, as always, are listening very closely to your wants and needs and have been very busy evolving our reMODEL business into something even more useful for you.
Those who know us, know that we understand manufacturing improvements and can make sense of market data and the global medical device industry. You could say that we can identify WHAT to improve and WHY to do it.
The biggest problem with everybody, both corporations and individuals, is "HOW-TO" make the change happen. This is where we have invested in order to provide you with answers, strategies and How-to´s you can implement immediately.
So you'll see our emphasis changing from a numbers oriented outlook to a more personal development oriented one. Personal Development is just a phrase for 'Making Ourselves Better'. A company is nothing more than its people, so the company cannot get better without its people getting better. Neither can your own life get better without bettering yourself.
You will see a number of new names for bits of this, although all are part of reMODEL International. All are available now or very soon.
Lorrie A MacGilvray and Friends:
- 'Learning About Me' events and vacation workshops
- 'Secret about Habits' 5 module online training
- 'Thinking Into Results' 12 lesson, 6 month coached online training
James La Trobe-Bateman:
- reMODEL: Medical Device consultancy
- 'Provide Insights not just Analysis' 5 module online training
- Other online material to transfer to you the know how learnt over 20+ years
We look forward to seeing you again in 2017!
ILLOGICAL Improvement – Made Real & Logical Overnight
Here's a true story from few years ago. Names and places have been changed to protect the innocent…
A growing diagnostic reagent manufacturing business had a bottleneck in its key manufacturing process. The line was running 'flat out' and the production team leader was under pressure to make more to supply a growing market. His boss called me in from the company's central business services engineering group. Equipped with stop watch and notebook…went straight to work. This may sound very '60s thinking but it is still worth doing today. By the end of the day there was enough data to come to a conclusion. A quick analysis showed there was at least 25% spare capacity. So, why the impression that the line was running flat out?
Coffee was needed with the team leader…
What's going on? Who are the characters? There's Gareth reporting to the team leader, who has responsibilities beyond just this line. He is experienced and not very opinionated. He is a solid team member and good follower. On the line itself is Martin and some young and eager people, all willing to do what is needed. It's Martin who really runs this show. I had already been told to "watch him", he holds the key, it seems. First thing Martin said was, "I'll eat my hat, if you can come up with 'anything' to make this line run faster."
Hmmm… little did Martin's know… I already had come up with something, though it was very important not to say just yet. …And we don't want Martin to eat his hat; we want him to come up with the 'something' himself. For Martin, who lived and breathed running this line, it was totally illogical there was any improvement possible and it was the machine not running fast enough causing the issue.
Having learned about the Socratic Approach from a training course, you know it is far better to ask people questions so they come up with answers themselves. When 'they' think of the solution, it's theirs…not yours 'imposed' on them.
It's now time to arrange a little meeting with Martin and a couple of his colleagues, no need for the hierarchy to influence things.
First, we do a conceptual warm up exercise and show a picture of a highway with a traffic snarl up on it to get them thinking from different perspectives of the same issue. Then start asking the 'illogical improvement' questions: "Where is the bottleneck?" and "How can you tell?"
They get the answers right without prompting. So there is no problem with their fundamental understanding. Now let's relate it to the problem in hand. "So, where is the bottleneck, exactly?" Answered correctly.
Now the 'illogical improvement buster' question for them to realize the solution…"What do you have to do to maximize throughput?"
At that point I shut up and waited. It took about 15 seconds for the team to figure it out.
Eventually Martin replies. "You have to keep it working all the time."
"Excellent! Exactly correct!"
Together we examine the data recorded in the notebook and in more detail explain the findings. "See here: the critical piece of equipment is idle, and then here again and here and here." In fact, it was idle more than 25% of the time through the day.
"Oh!?" Martin replied surprised and happy hear, more importantly, he was now open to the how-to's.
Instead of 'telling' them… again I asked a 'results thinking' question, so they were able to come up with the solution themselves, even though I already had the solution… "So what do you have to do to get 25% more output in the day?"
Martin replied without delay: "Keep it working".
Which lead me to the next question for them to 'results think' about: "How are you going to do that?"
Martin thought for a minute: "Well, the reason your notes show a temporary stoppage is that I have to stop sometimes to do these other things."
Again asking the next 'results thinking' question: "So, how could you rearrange the work to avoid this?"
"We need an extra person. Is it really that easy?"
"Let's try it then!"
Then I explained and asked: "The extra person does not need to be recruited: she is already there. We just need to redistribute the work a bit. Agreed? Can you do it now?"
Very pleased they came to the conclusions themselves asking the right questions for them to 'results think' I wrapped it up for them to get on with it: "Let's try it then. I'll go back to head office now and you will do an extra-large batch tomorrow – '30% larger', in fact. I'll call you on Monday to find out how you did."
Monday came and with it the news that Martin has surprised himself and his team. He is ecstatic to admit that he got 30% more output overnight.
That crew went on to sustain the performance. That meant sustaining an extra $15 million of business year on year, without capital or extra revenue expense.
Martin didn't eat his hat, because through the 'results thinking process' he came up with the solution and made the change himself. Martin did admit, few years later, "I really take my hat off to you!"

What do YOU 'really' really want? Are you 'really' living the life of your dreams?
June 2016, James & I spent 3 full intense days in Toronto, Canada 'Thinking Into Results' Certified Consultant Training, learning directly from Bob Proctor and Doug Dane of Proctor Gallagher Institute.
Bob has studied 'The Mind' and 'Changing Paradigms' for over 55 years and is the world expert teaching on 'Human Potential' & 'Success'.
Learning directly from Bob is an experience of a lifetime and we are forever grateful to be part of that inner circle. Our lives were forever changed in 'Quantum Leaps' right then and there.
During Bob's teachings, we knew beyond a shadow of a doubt this is what we had been searching for to help ourselves grow as individuals, as well as to better serve our clients and help them to their HUGE goals and dreams. If Bob could do it for himself and he has helped thousands of people & businesses achieve 'Quantum Leap' goals, anyone willing to do the work can as well.
The 'Mind' is a most marvelous thing. Whatever idea, dream, goal you can conceive in your 'Mind', you can absolutely achieve no matter how huge it is.
It is very simply an exact science to follow that has been proven to work over and over and over for many, many years by thousands of people.
Bob has been teaching and preparing us how to turn 'Thinking Into Results'. The Secret is to be 'Willing', 'Able', and 'Prepared' to do the work it takes.
To know more about setting giant 'C' goals and make logical improvements from what appear to be totally illogical or impossible at first sight, leave us a comment or a question below or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. We read every comment and email.

Verbally Charged Images
Verbally Charged Images demonstrates how text can be used to alter one's perception or preconceptions of the visual image by providing a subjective framework, thus reversing the traditional image-text relationship in which the image illustrates the text. Although the mode of rhetoric varies from work to work, as does the location of the text in relation to image, text in these works "charges" the image as the title suggests, pointing to the artist's conceptual intentions. The text, it must be emphasized, never simply describes, illustrates, or functions congruently with the image.

Two different peoples in far apart regions are currently struggling to fulfill their right to self-determination and establish a state of their own: the Catalans in Spain and the Kurds in Iraq. The governments of both Spain and Iraq oppose these initiatives. Following Catalan's declaration of independence, the Spanish government took dramatic legal steps against Catalonia's President Carles Puigdemont and Vice President Oriol Junqueras, stripping the Catalan government of its powers. In Iraq, the vote for independence of the Kurds sparked military clashes between the Kurds and the Iraqi governments. Are the governments of Spain and Iraq justified or wrong in their opposition? What are the differences and similarities between their reactions?
The right to self-determination of peoples is a fundamental human right, recognized by the 1966 human rights covenants and by the U.N.G.A resolution on Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States from 24 October 1970. These documents state that, by virtue of the right to self-determination, "all peoples freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development." This notwithstanding, the Friendly Relations declaration ensures another right that allegedly conflicts with the right of self determination—that is, states' right to territorial integrity.
The resolution of the conflict is embodied in the concept of internal self-determination, also promulgated by the Friendly Relations declaration. States should allow the peoples in their territory to fulfill their right to internal self-determination by "possess[ing] of a government representing the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction as to race, creed or colour." Only such states are entitled to the right of territorial integrity. If peoples under their governance can't fulfill their right to internal self-determination, they have the right to secede and establish an independent state, thereby fulfilling their right to external self-determination. This was the interpretation Canadian Supreme Court adopted in dealing with the question of the legitimacy of Quebec's secession from Canada. One of the arguments for delegitimizing Quebec's secession was that the Quebecois were already fulfilling their right to internal self-determination and thereby were not entitled to demand external self-determination.
The above analysis suggests that the legitimacy of the Spanish and Iraqi governments' reactions to the initiatives of secession in their territories is contingent upon whether these governments represent the whole people belonging to the territory without distinction as to race, creed or colour—in other words, whether they fulfill peoples' rights to internal self-determination.
The form of governance that best implements the right to internal self-determination of peoples is democratic federalism. The federal system answers the demands of national minorities for self-government in the form of territorial autonomy, as it creates regional political units controlled by these minorities and endows them with constitutional protected powers of self-government. But federalism also, and more importantly, sustains the larger political entity, that is, the state. And finally, democratic federalism is the best system for incorporating and expressing the demands and wishes of the state's subjects.
Iraq is formally a federal government while Spain is not—but when we compare the Catalans and the Kurds' level of fulfillment of their rights to internal self-determination (and hence the legitimacy or illegitimacy of their demands for secession), our findings are quite surprising.
Spain is a parliamentary democracy allowing for the regional autonomy of seventeen communities—in a form of "asymmetrical federalism." This system, through constitutional recognition of self-rule and cultural diversity, provides for a decentralization of powers and responsibilities. Yet, it also preserves Spain's unity. The Spanish constitution constructs the Spanish state upon a concept of "sub-state nacionalidad," which on the one hand provides for regional self-rule, and on the other hand proclaims the principle of solidarity that institutions of the state should implement. This means that the Catalans have a normative political infrastructure for fulfilling their rights for internal self-determination, and the Spanish government does not deny it in practice.
The Kurds' case is completely different. While Iraq is formally a federal state, in which Kurdistan is an autonomous area, it is a weak and fragile democracy. The government's general ability to secure human rights is often jeopardized by internal armed conflicts and insurrections, and this undermines the government's ability to protect the Kurds' right for internal self-determination.
The conclusion is that the non-federal Spanish government is justified in the steps it takes against the Catalan ambitions. In contrast, the federal Iraqi offensive against Kurdish fighters near the border with Turkey and Syria is a breach of the Friendly Relations declaration's call "to refrain from any forcible action which deprives peoples … of their right to self-determination and freedom and independence." Formalities can be misleading; legal conclusions are sometimes beyond black letter law.

As the lesion of the ligament changes the kinematics of the knee joint, without treatment, it could cause degenerative defects too (meniscus injuries, wear of the joint surfaces). Anterior cruciate ligament surgery replaces the torn ligament with a tendon, usually from another part of the knee.

These are some details about characters you'll see very often in episodes.
Minotaur is a weird, idiotic, lactose-intolerant, powerful, brave mythological creature. Usually the one that gets everyone in crazy shenanigans. He also has an 8 year-old son named Bradley who he introduced in Season Six.
Ryku is an intelligent, Twilight fanboy that has a lot of common sense and smarts. Some day, he'll change the world. He doesn't usually enjoy the crazy adventures that Minotaur and Kyan get him in to.
Kyan is a music-obsessed, Minotaur-battling, shark-attack surviving, lovable host. He came to the series in the second season. He was usually quiet and knew the lyrics to any hit song. Since then, he turned to books other than music.
Bradley is Minotaur's son who was introduced in Season Six. He likes dinosaurs and making fun of his dad. Although he has more smarts than his dad, he still acts like a real child, like being afraid of serial killers and scary movies.
Dasr was a former member of the PWH crew who left in Season 7 for a brief guest-appearence in iCarly. He was quiet and got hurt easily. When he returned in "The Golden Ticket", he turned up getting murdered by SK. However, in Purple Pills, he was revealed to be alive due to his unique bones repairing themselves.
Zey I ( Zey ) is a brave, sarcastic host that used to be mysteriously absent. He usually likes bullying people either for the heck of it or for making fun of him for playing violin with whales and bazookas.
Whaley is a careless whale owned by Zey who he uses to attack people with. He's careless about almost everything, usually shown by him sipping a random drink out of a cup and rolling his eyes.
Zey II was Zey's brother. Like Zey, he attacks people with random objects he has with him all the time. He's also very sarcastic. In "The Golden Ticket", he was found murdered by SK in Centaur's office.
Smart Kid/SK was the show's former assistant, who is based off a real fan of PWH. She was really irritated with being the assistant and the crew soon got tired of her and treated her like dirt. She got voted off by popular demand in Vote 'Em Off! She was in a brief relationship with Ryku. When she reunited in "The Golden Ticket", she made a series of murders out of revenge of how the crew treated her.
SockLicker is a superhero who likes to bust in the studio and sing musical numbers at the wrong times, usually when someone says something. The PWH crew is irritated by it, but just go with it. In Season 8, he decided to stop making so many musical numbers and start focusing on saving the world from evil.
Charles is Zey's British butler that lives in his mansion. Usually all he does is dust things or barely anything at all. He's been hinted to be very sensitive.
Charisma is Kyan's best friend who works at a local Starbucks. He's not close with the crew as told in "Party with JTX" and seems very attached to Kyan.
JTX, born Jaiden Tiberious Xu, is Bradley's best friend introduced in Season 8. He had a very bad first impression with Minotaur causing awkward tension for having an unsupervised party without his permission.
Wolfgang is the first female host who's "really hot" introduced in Season 8. She's a tough girl that "doesn't take any mess". She made her debut in "Revenge of Wolfgang" in which she convinced Minotaur to plot revenge on his co-stars at a local movie theater. For her care for Minotaur claiming she was worried about him, she was made a host by Ryku. It's also hinted that she could be friends with benefits with Minotaur.

Co-Parenting Tips & Tools
Working together to help your child grow into a happy, confident and well-adjusted adult is something that all parents should aspire to. But it's not something that comes easily to newly divorced or separated parents, or even to parents who were living apart in the first place.
It takes hard work to craft a "co-parenting" relationship that enables parents to cooperate in a way that benefits their child. As separated or divorced parents, you choose to live apart because you can't see eye to eye on many things, and it's unreasonable to expect that you'll be able to immediately step away from all of that and become a friendly, co-parenting couple. It can take a while to forge a relationship as parents together. But no matter how long it takes – or how difficult it is – finding a way to cooperate together as parents does pay off.
Keep Your Child Uppermost in Mind
Divorce or separation is devastating for children. It's normal for them to experience anger, sadness, fear and withdrawal. (Extreme behavior or depression requires treatment by a mental health professional.)
It is impossible for you as a parent to fully protect your child from the impact of the divorce. Your family has changed, and you have to expect that your child will need time to adjust. But the way that you and the other parent handle the change of a divorce, and the years following it, has a huge impact on the kind of experience it is for your child. The purpose of your divorce was likely to end the fighting, to improve how you both feel, and to create happier lives for everyone. If you go through the divorce, only to continue arguing and fostering unpleasant feelings toward the other parent, you haven't made a lot of improvements in your family's life.
You can't give your child proper support and attention if you and the other parent are always focused on what the other is doing wrong, or if you continue to dredge up bad feelings from your relationship as a couple. Developing a new relationship that is low-conflict, pleasant on the surface, and routine will help your child relax and begin to feel more comfortable with the new arrangement. You will be able to focus more directly on your child's needs. Your child will function better if she knows that there are two parents united behind her.
Learn How to Think
Learning to co-parent means making a mental shift in the way you think about the other person. This is a person who has undoubtedly hurt you, let you down, insulted you, or worked against you in your relationship. It may seem like a tall order to set that aside and smilingly co-parent together.
You need to mentally compartmentalize your relationship with the other parent. In one room, put all of your feelings about him or her as your partner, spouse or lover. All the hurt and anger from a divorce goes behind that door. You can go into that room whenever you need to, to work through those feelings.
In another room goes your relationship with this person as a parent. In this room, there is a table where you can sit and work together to create a good life for your child. On the walls are photos of your child in happy moments. This is the room you must place yourself in mentally when you are dealing with the other parent in a parenting situation. This compartmentalizing is something you must commit to doing. It may be hard to sit in one room in your mind, while you know that the other room is next door. But you must direct your attention to cooperating and welcoming the other parent into your child's life so your child can have the benefit of two parents who are reasonable, pleasant and accommodating to each other.
Learn How to Talk
You and the other parent need to be able to talk about your child and make cooperative decisions. If you're able to talk naturally in a pleasant and reasonable way, you're on the right path. But if you find yourself gritting your teeth, shouting or getting upset, try to treat your conversations with the other parent in a more detached, business-like way.
You have to conduct the business of parenting together, so treat it like a business transaction. You wouldn't let your temper get the better of you in most business situations, so try to be polite to your ex in the same way you would to a stranger you are working with.
I worked with one family that could not communicate in any reasonable way. Every time they exchanged children, they had a blowup. They finally went to a therapist who had them practice discussing only the situation at hand, and putting their emotions and problems with each other on the back burner to be dealt with at another time. This worked, and when they had to do the business of parenting, they were able to focus only on that task and keep the rest of their problems separate.
Get Help
Co-parenting may not come naturally to you, but there are plenty of ways to get help with your parenting relationship.
• Take a co-parenting class together (or separately). These classes, which many state court systems now mandate for all divorcing couples, can be very helpful. If a class is not required in your area, check with your attorney, the court clerk or the state department of mental health services to find a class.
• Consider seeing a therapist. A couples therapist can help you improve your co-parenting skills. Your child can also benefit from having a therapist to talk with, and that therapist may be able to help you and your ex work together to help your child. If, however, you have serious disagreements about the co-parenting plan itself, a mediator can help you work through them and come to an agreement.
Forgive Yourself
While it may seem as though co-parenting is solely about your interaction with the other parent, a big part is your own internal thought process. Although you have to learn to forgive or at least let go of things the other parent has done, you must also forgive yourself for anything you secretly believe you've done – whether to the other parent or to your child. Everyone who goes through the emotional turmoil of a divorce makes mistakes and you need to tell yourself it is OK. You also need to learn to forgive yourself for the slip-ups you will make as you co-parent. You're going to lose your temper, be inflexible or let your hurt get the best of you sometimes in dealing with the other parent. Tell yourself it's OK and that you will simply try harder the next time.
8 Cardinal Rules of Co-Parenting
In order for co-parenting to succeed, there are some important rules that all co-parents should follow:
1. Do not use your child as a go-between.
2. Do not discuss your feelings about the other parent with your child.
3. Always remember that your child needs time with both of you to grow up healthy and happy.
4. If possible, never argue in front of your child.
5. Be flexible whenever possible.
6. Think of parenting time as benefiting your child, not you or the other parent.
7. Envision yourself and the other parent as a team.
8. If you are the residential parent, include the other parent as much as possible.

Applying for bursaries and scholarships – student tips
Want to apply for a bursary or scholarship, but not sure how the process works? Students who secured extra cash told us their top tips...
In fact, research by The Scholarship Hub has suggested there is around £150 million in scholarships up for grabs each year!
Make sure you're not missing out on money that's ripe for the picking. As part of our annual student survey, we asked those students who did apply for extra funding to share their tips below – see if they've poked a hole in your biggest concern or excuse that's stopping you...
Not sure what support is available? Read our full guide on extra funding to help you manage the cost of university.
Watch now: How to find university scholarships – students' tips
Applying for extra funding: tips from students*...
Identify all available funding
The wider you cast your net when it comes to hunting for extra funding, the more likely you are to be successful.
Use Google to research who the big players are in fields or sectors tied to the subject you're applying to. If they don't explicity mention anything about scholarships or university funding for students on their website, drop them a quick message introducing yourself; explain your university plans and any goals you have for the future (eg a particular career path) and ask whether they offer any financial support.
Worst case, they don't reply and you've lost a few minutes of your day; but best case, your initiative and enthusiasm impresses them and they can help you in some way (plus it gives you a foot in the door for future work experience, internships and graduate schemes).
Ask once, and the opportunities may snowball from there
Reaching out directly to your university's student services or finance department is the first step to making yourself known to them, especially if you speak to a specific individual. When opportunities pop up for funding that match your criteria, they'll know to get in touch with you.
Don't be afraid to pick up the phone or fire off a quick email – no matter how simple you think your question might be, the university will be best equipped to answer it (and not just when it comes to finance questions either, but also any questions you have about entry requirements, housing or the course too). Plus, universities will vary in what extra funding is available they offer, so don't assume anything.
They can get busy, but they should aim to respond as soon as possible.
Don't know what to ask at an open day?
A good approach to an open day is to have a handful of questions to ask at the end. You could have a long journey to get there and back, so you want to make sure you're getting the most out of it.
Before heading to one, check what the day will involve. Are there mandatory talks or sessions, or do you have some flexibility to pick and choose what you do/see? If the latter, a finance-related session may be worth checking out.
Your school grades might open up opportunities...
Or where you're from...
Apply early
Missed the deadline for most scholarship applications? If you've crunched the numbers and going to university will be a real struggle without the extra help, consider putting it off for a year and working in the meantime to save some cash.
This will give you time to plan ahead and apply for scholarships the following year, as well as build up any skills and experience you can bolster your application with.
Be organised and take initiative
Scholarships and bursaries can be competitive, especially if the criteria to apply is quite open; so don't wait around. Hopefully you should have most of your parents' financial information to hand from when you applied for student finance, which can save time.
Also, it's really worth working out what your living costs might look like as soon you can. Many students are surprised by the typical cost of university life, including those bills which mum and dad are likely to have been taking care of (eg monthly phone bill, household bills).
See what student life will cost you each month, try our student budget calculator.
Consent to share your income
This one came up a lot, and it boiled down to simply ticking a box when applying for student finance. Easy!
Read the small print before doing so to confirm you're happy with how your information will be used. Often this is simply the best way for universities to identify the students from low income households who could benefit most from extra help.
If the comments above are anything to go by, it could pay off big time, with little to no extra work on your behalf.
Not another personal statement...
If you've already written your personal statement as part of your Ucas application, you'll have some practice talking yourself up in the best way possible in an essay format.
However, it's worth doing some further research into the provider of the bursary and how the bursary came about. This might give you some ideas for what you should emphasise here.
Need personal statement help? Check out our tips and advice, or build your first draft with our tool.
Get interview-ready
Like writing a personal statement above, an interview may be a familiar scenario you find yourself in when applying to universities. Again, do your research about whoever is providing the bursary to give you a few talking points to jump on.
Don't fret if you're asked to complete a presentation as part of this. Often your interviewer will come up with a topic or project that's quite broad or subjective, to see how you think and respond to this.
And while you're seeking financial support, it's not about gaining sympathy with the biggest sob story to 'win' over your interviewer (so hold the tears). If you've encountered or overcome certain hardships up to now, don't shoehorn these in. Bring it up when asked or where it feels appropriate to the point you're making.
