Orange is one of the main telecommunication operators, with 250 million customers over the world. The CSR is deeply embedded in the culture of the company and in its history. Orange was built upon founding values leading their principles of action regarding all its stakeholders. After the social crisis France went through in 2009, France Télécom-Orange initiated an accentuated approach of listening to its employees, to understand the reasons of the unease expressed and mobilize all the teams on a new company project.
The crisis of 2009 made Orange massively invest in its employees' well-being
3. Labor relations / working conditions
Working conditions
- To reconcile economic performance and social quality
- To take knowledge of the employees' opinion during transformations (physical, real estate…) and note employees' wishes
- To take measures following the social crisis that the operator went through in 2009
The approach based on listening employees led to several social agreements, which provided the basis to the new social contract which resulted particularly in 4 agreements:
- Telecommuting agreement
- Professional/private life balance agreement
- Agreement on Psycho-social Risks Assessment and Prevention
- Agreement on trials to improve working conditions
This new social Contract that Stéphane Richard personally addressed to each of the 102,000 employees in France in September 2010, establishes the conditions and principles of living together and includes 158 measures taken to reconcile economic performance with social quality by progressively implementing it until 2015, on six lines:
- Employment
- Work organization
- Management
- Working conditions
- Compensation
- HR department.
- 93% of employees are proud to work for Orange and 87% of them recommend Orange as a company where it feels good to work.
- To ensure its implementation, 900 million euros were invested from 2010 to 2012.
- 500 out of the 7000 employees moved internally in 2015.
- Orange pays its employees more than the average salary of the sector.

After the intensity and feeling transmitted in Silence Won't Help Me Now, we wouldn't dream of another marvelous head turner such as Laura Jean Anderson newest song. Thinkin Bout You sounds like a fresh classic. The vocals are once again impeccable, the song showcases smooth elements and powerful hooks, and is catchy and delicious.
Every time we get to the chorus we feel an immediate relation to it, and her vocals have that ability too. As the song goes by she takes her time and we feel like we are entering her mind (a bit like what Lily Allen does so well). And as the song hits the catchy part we want to sing along with it. Perfect shower song too.
With these two songs out, we can't wait for the upcoming EP (Oct 12).

Travertine Countertop Installation
Travertine is a limestone that forms in or near hot springs. It's found all over the world, but the largest deposits come from the Tivoli area of Italy. The Romans actually used travertine to build the Roman Colosseum about 2,000 years ago. Much of that world wonder still stands, which is a testament to the strength and durability of such a prized stone. Our gorgeous Sandart surface is composed of quartz and recycled glass, but we've engineered it with all the elegance and grace of travertine, which is often mistaken for marble.
We've chosen quartz because it is harder and more durable than either marble or travertine, so like all of our etherium® by E-Stone surfaces, our Sandart surface will remain maintenance-free, and is perfect for kitchen backsplashes and countertops, shower and tub surrounds, bathroom vanities, and even for outdoor applications such as pavers for your walkways and patio areas.
As with all of our surfaces, travertine countertops are easy to install. We install our travertine countertops over the top of your old countertops and other stone areas, which means there is no mess because our process requires little to no demolition. The work can usually be completed in less than a day, which means you'll get all of the enjoyment from your new countertops the moment we walk out the door!
Our travertine countertops and other surfaces are personally manufactured by Granite and TREND Transformations at our facility in Sebring, Florida. We engineer each beautiful countertop with ForeverSeal®, our proprietary sealant that results in a nonporous surface that will never require resealing. Our travertine countertops are resistant to heat, stains, and mold and mildew. And because we control every step in the creation of our surfaces, we feel confident in our Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Avoid the time and stress of a conventional countertop installation. Schedule a free in-home or virtual design consultation and start redesigning your home with some of the most beautiful surfaces you could ever imagine. We'll be there to help you the whole way!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine.
We recently PCSed from Tinker AFB, Oklahoma to Joint Base San Antonio in Texas. PCSing can be rather stressful—especially when you have kids. Here are tips that can help to not lose your cool.
1. Set aside everything you want to keep before the movers get there. We had everything we did not want packed in our vehicles. We also marked off the pantry with DO NOT PACK and kept some things in there.
2. Take photos of your expensive items. We took pictures of our TVs with the serial numbers. We made sure to snap photos of our couch—this way in case it got a hole during the move, we could make a claim and prove nothing was wrong with it.
3. If you have kids, pick up new books and entertainment for them. I purchased some items at the dollar spot in Target. My daughter has enjoyed the dry erase board I picked up from there.
4. Protect your pets. When the movers arrived, we had them in cages so they wouldn't accidentally get trampled on or try to escape. I would hate to lose a pet right before a move.
5. Buy some chocolate. Or wine. New books. Whatever you need to decompress. Finding a quiet spot with some chocolate and a book helped me. It's tough with kids, but lean on your spouse and take turns getting some alone time.
6. Consider using CORT Furniture Rental. We'll be in a hotel for several weeks and should be able to move into our house in about a month. However, even though we close on the house, it doesn't mean that we'll get our furniture. It is PCS season and TMO might be backed up. Enter CORT, where you can rent furniture and other essentials with less hassle. CORT has a lot of stylish options for fair prices:

6 Ways To Not Lose Your Cool During A PCS
5 comments:
Moving is so stressful!! I hate it!ReplyDelete
I totally agree with chocolate, and then more.ReplyDelete
And if you can, have a friend or family member come and keep your kids sane for you when you can't.
Yes it's so important to have an area for items you don't want packed, we always used one of our bathrooms as that area.ReplyDelete
I hate moving!! Now as an adult, I move to different countries with 3 suitcases so I have to think really hard about what I want to keep! And furniture was not an option!! And yes to lots of wine!!!ReplyDelete
My friend is moving and the packers kept trying to go into the room they had blocked off. She caught them walking in several times. Moving is such a pain.ReplyDelete

Pillsbury DON'T Boy (See what I did there?)
So, this is a segment that I'm hoping will become regular enough to warrant my drawing a logo for it: Chef Eli. I like to cook, and while I don't always have time to do anything fancy, sometimes I break out of my routine and try something new. Last night was one of those times.
I wanted to do a pizza, but was a little tired of making the standard pepperoni. I've recently become obsessed with goat cheese and thought that there was surely a recipe out there for a goat cheese pizza. For simplicity's sake, I settled on Rachel Ray's spinach and goat cheese pizza. There were only 5 ingredients- pizza dough, parmesan cheese, baby spinach, chopped tomato and goat cheese (I don't care for Rachel Ray the personality, but I like her cooking style). Now, normally I split my shopping between Trader Joe's and Ralph's, but this week we just didn't feel like making two stops, so TJ's was skipped. That's where the trouble begins.
See, Trader Joe's makes great pre-made pizza dough. It comes in regular, (almost) whole wheat, and garlic and herb (my favorite). The recipe called for Pillsbury pizza dough, which I've never used, but Ralph's had it. "Fine," I figured, "It may not be gourmet, but it should be easy enough to use." The time came to make the pizza last night and I opened the tube of dough. I placed it, as instructed, on to a greased pan and started to stretch it out (both by stretching and pressing, as the tube told me to). But every time I took my hands off the dough, it shrank back to its original shape. At one point, I tore a hole in the dough (which happens with regular dough sometimes, too), but no amount of squashing and kneading could make the hole disappear. This stuff, whatever it was, wanted to retain its original tubular shape no matter what I did. It was infuriating. After half an hour of stretching, rolling, and pressing, I gave up. The dough was as thin and large as it was getting (roughly 3/4 of the size it was supposed to be). I very nearly went out to Trader Joe's to buy their dough several times, but didn't want to have wasted my effort. Needless to say, I won't be bothering with the scientific abomination that Pillsbury calls "pizza dough" again. I don't know what that was, but it wasn't bread.
For a happier conclusion, the pizza turned out quite nice. The goat cheese was rich and it was a flavorful pizza for so few ingredients. The recipe called for way more spinach than was necessary, and since it had already been tossed in olive oil, I added tomato and mozzarella for a basic salad. It was a nice addition, even if it was a little too much oil (I don't know if you've ever had an "oily" feeling in you mouth, but it's not pleasant). Melissa, it turns out, doesn't care as much for the taste of cooked spinach as she does raw spinach, so I doubt we'll be retrying this one. However, I'd definitely try another goat cheese pizza (with TJ's dough, of course). Next time, I'm thinking something with pesto. Suggestions?

Oh man, that pizza sounds seriously delicious. I'm a huge fan of goat cheese, I love all it's work.ReplyDelete
Something with pesto, huh? Hm...
You probably won't try this, and I'll admit I haven't tried it on a a pizza, but what is great with goat cheese is BEETS. Hmm, that may go on my next veggie pizza! That Pillsbury dough, btw, is way to sweet for my taste. I'll be if you had just let it rest for a few minutes at room temp, it would have worked better. That works with regular dough.ReplyDelete
That hat bears the stamp of Commander Mark's Draw Squad. So NOOOOO to drugs and TV!ReplyDelete

IEEE REACH Program is Seeking Volunteers
Leading technology visionaries are hosting popular panel discussions on the social impact of technology within their respective professions. Similarly, the IEEE's History Center is leading the way by bringing the same type of inquiry into secondary education classrooms with the IEEE REACH Program. IEEE REACH focuses on the social impact of technology through the lens of History and provides teachers with cutting-edge lesson plans designed in an inquiry format that engage students to think like an engineer. To learn more about the program go to reach.ieee.org, or check out this video, "To Engineer is Human"
The IEEE History Center is seeking volunteers to present the IEEE REACH program to their IEEE Sections and to their local school districts and other local organizations interested in education. Kelly McKenna, the REACH Program Manager can provide a PowerPoint and further details to any interested volunteer. In addition, an in-person presentation by a History Center staff member could be arranged should an organizational unit provide an invitation to do so. Please contact Kelly McKenna directly with any questions, and with any interest in volunteering. Kelly may be reached at email@example.com.


text: Moon Patrol last edited by reverendhunt on 05/28/20 12:03AM View full history OverviewMoon Patrol is an arcade game originally released in 1982 by Irem and later licensed for release in North America by Williams (Midway). It is a side-scrolling shooter that puts players at the controls of a six-wheeled moon rover that can jump and shoot. The goal is to move through the entire course as quickly as possible while shooting enemies for additional points. Cannons are mounted on the front and top of the vehicle, and both fire simultaneously when the fire button is pressed. Rocks, mines, and pits in the course prevent you from just holding to the right for maximum speed. Rocks and mines can be shot, but pits must be jumped. Some enemies fire shots that create new pits in the course, forcing players to react quickly.The course is broken up into multiple checkpoints, each denoted by a letter. Some checkpoints ("E," for example) cause the game to stop, check your time, award bonus points for fast movement, and send you on your way. When the end is reached, a further bonus is awarded and the player returns to the first checkpoint.As with many games of its era, Moon Patrol was ported around to several different home platforms.Television ReferenceOn the popular T.V. show, Psych, the episode tuesday the 17th, you can hear a direct reference to Moon Patrol and actully see gameplay.

While the world is facing changes, starting from climate change and the confrontation with unknown pandemics. As well as other crises that are coming as a result of CO2 release and the usage of chemicals that are harmful for the environment. We see that many states are supporting businesses that protect and cultivate products that are grown in eco-friendly ways and are not a threat to the environment. Find how the future is green and eco-friendly.
Many companies have been created to think differently, in a good way different they respect the environment in which they produce and do business. They think eco-friendly, this form of doing business is multiplying day by day. Many people are looking for treatments that do not harm nature but also have a positive impact on their health.More people are seeking to use the benefits of CBD containing products, the use of these products is constantly rising. And that reflects on their well-being.
Many European countries have an active hemp market known as production centers.
The EU has subsidized the European hemp market over the past 20 years as part of green policy initiatives. This industry is on the rise so the impact is just as great as the number of sales and users. With more reasons to grow cannabis at home than ever before for Europeans who value the plant for its medicinal benefits, the softening of attitudes and laws relating to the production and sale of cannabis products throughout Europe could not come at a better time.
So Europe is moving towards an open and free market model.
One of the leading companies in Europe is FENOCAN they stand for the best Swiss production of feminized cannabis seeds. One thing people need to keep in mind is that these products have a good impact on the environment, but also on their health condition.
So Fenocan is an international group of companies based in Switzerland with subsidiaries in Spain. They are specialized in developing and creating new forms of cannabis to produce feminized cannabis seeds. They created a line of resinous CBD and CBG with 0.05% THC content. This makes it suitable for cultivation in the international market according to the law.
Fenocan offers only high quality products grown by themselves, hand-selected and regularly tested and controlled. Offering just the best for the hemp market. The above mentioned company swears for the organically grown of hemp seeds. Knowing that the environment is as necessary as the production itself. Because the hemp plants grow by the help of nature and vice versa the nature benefits from the plant as well.
The Environment And CBD
The future is green with an environment where hemp plants are grown or cultivated is as necessary as the cultivation itself because the plant feeds on the best that comes from the soil and the environment benefits from it at the same time. Conscious companies insist that the products are naturally grown in this form to support the environment. We need to take care of the environment by taking as much as we need, without destroying it.
There is a large number of Companies that are offering CBD containing products. But to buy safely grown CBD products seek for information, like the origin and the way it's cultivated and look for the correct amount of THC in it. This basic information should every serious company offer. Buying eco-friendly products makes possible to preserve the environment and the product is safer to use.
Europe supports businesses that comply with the law and that are offering products that are environment friendly. As well as the content of THC is low to be sold as legal. CBD finds use in different forms as a food supplement for a healthy diet, as healthcare products and Cosmetic. But the most common form of use is a treatment against paint and other disorders.
There is a large line of CBD products offered for clients, one of leading Europe's retailer lines is the future is Green Passion made in Switzerland. Find legal products with low THC content visit the online shop and find what you need. They offer safe and high quality lines of products. Find CBD hemp oil, CBD flowers, CBD Cosmetic and CBD for Pets but also healthcare products all made from hemp. What remains to do is use the products from Green Passion, they are safe and you can find what you need, they swear on the quality and the way the products are produced and grown.

Logan Paul reveals his next major career change
Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul has expressed an earnest desire to move away from the video platform in the past – and now, it seems that he's finally settled on an alternative career path.
[ad name="article1″]
Following his boxing match with YouTuber KSI in August 2018, Paul has disclosed an acute interest in fighting full-time – most markedly in mixed martial arts.
While Paul's subsequent efforts to join the UFC were promptly dashed, that isn't stopping the vlogger from chasing his goal, revealing in a Tweet on May 28 that he hopes to "pursue a career in fighting."
[ad name="article2″]
ima pursue a career in fighting :punch::skin-tone-3:
— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) May 28, 2019
Responses to Paul's Tweet were largely mixed, with some fans wishing the YouTuber the best of luck in his pursuit, while others were markedly less than optimistic.
"And end your YouTube career while you're at it?" one critic wrote of his statement.
"Would be funny to watch him get absolutely wrecked, yeah?" another said.
And end your YouTube career while your at it?
— LettingOffSteam (@LOS_Podcast) May 28, 2019

— Tj Absent (@tjAbsent) May 28, 2019
[ad name="article3″]
Even professional mixed martial artist Cris Cyborg got in on the action, asking Paul if he wanted to stop by her gym – an idea suggested by UFC fighter Michael Chiesa shortly after Paul's fight with KSI in 2018.
When you going to stop by @CrisCyborgGym then?
— CyborgVsSpencer #UFC240 (@criscyborg) May 28, 2019
While both Jake and Logan Paul have made multiple jabs at UFC president Dana White in an attempt to nab a spot in the octagon, White claimed that he should "be arrested" if he ever let the two set foot in the org – despite other industry pros speculating that the YouTuber might stand a solid chance in a real fight.
[Timestamp: 0:30 for mobile viewers]
UFC champion Tyron Woodley commented on the possibility during an episode of TMZ's Hollywood Beatdown in October 2018, where he appeared to be confident that Paul was going to get an official fight in the UFC.
"He's gonna fight in the UFC," Woodley said. "Dana is not a fool. He's gonna fight. Mark my words – Logan Paul will fight in the UFC."
[Timestamp: 4:30 for mobile viewers]
Popular podcast host and MMA commentator Joe Rogan likewise spoke out on the matter, claiming that Paul was "way better than CM Punk" and stating that the YouTuber "actually knows how to fight" in reference to his match against KSI.
Paul is set to face off with KSI once more in a rematch in November 2019, although an exact date and venue have yet to be announced as of this article's publication.

Kata, on the southwestern coast of Phuket, is one of the most idyllic beaches found on the island. With a small village atmosphere, there are dozens of great restaurants and shops, ideal for relaxing with a cocktail in the evening, spending some baht at an exclusive boutique, or haggling over the price of a local product. Kata is a favorite with families and couples due to its lively atmosphere and location to the beach. There are plenty of things to do for both adults and children, including water sports, elephant trekking, mini-golf, and trendy pavement cafes.

Rogue Trader - The Hos Dynasty
Chlorus Kremple
A Simple Lay-Priest Charged with Overseeing the Svard Space Defense Fleet
A Lay-Priest attached to the Svard Defense Force Frigates, he is not very senior in the Adeptus Mechanicus hierarchy as the bulk of the repair work is meant to be performed on Cog, and not by the locals in Svard. When the Forge Moon was lost, Kremple soon found himself constantly diverted to deal with the various crisises in Svard. When the In Purgatio Lumen arrived in system, he eagerly yielded his authority to Explorator Artifex Felicis, and transferred all logs and information about the Xenos vessels that had been sighted in-system.
He accompanied Zacharya Caine to Exclusion to reclaim the Arbites Precinct there. His technical expertise was pushed to their limit when the Xenos wasp-ships attacked the Frigate he was on, but he managed to keep the guns of the Frigate in working order, and was essential in seeing off the Xenos threat.

What comes to mind when I think of leadership is reaching a common goal or a desired outcome through collaboration, communication, and delegation. Some instances where I have witnessed these three elements of effective leadership was through the service fraternity I am involved with called Alpha Phi Omega. As Alpha Phi Omega members, we are expected to reach a certain amount of hours in different categories: service, leadership, and fellowship. Whenever the Vice President of Service, Vice President of Leadership, or the Vice President of Fellowship saw Alpha Phi Omega members struggling to get their respective hours, they actively made the effort to reach out in order to resolve any issues. If this communication hadn't been made by the leaders, there would have been no resolution or accommodations set up for the struggling Alpha Phi Omega members. Furthermore, I saw elements of collaboration and delegation during my time spent on the Service Committee within Alpha Phi Omega. This intimate committee was formed by the Vice President of Service in order to directly foster collaboration on service event ideas. During the committee meetings, the Vice President of Service would also delegate roles to committee members for upcoming service events, such as Autism Awareness Week for example. This delegation was a helpful tactic for both sides— it was beneficial to the VP of Service because it lessened the amount of work she personally had to do and it was beneficial to the committee members because it gave us a sense of inclusion, importance, and responsibility within the fraternity.
My results for the Conceptualizing Leadership Questionnaire went as follows:
Trait Emphasis: 18
Ability Emphasis: 19
Skill Emphasis: 19
Behavior Emphasis: 16
Relationship Emphasis: 18
Process Emphasis: 19
After completing the Conceptualizing Leadership Questionnaire exercise, I realized how the lines separating each of the different leadership emphases are not strikingly distinct. I found it challenging to align my leadership identity with one particular emphasis for this reason, which is why I have three emphases tied as my top— skill emphasis, ability emphasis, and process emphasis.
I was surprised by the extent to which I agreed with certain aspects of the varying emphases— as a matter of fact, I did not disagree with a single statement on the questionnaire! I came to realize that I believe in aspects of leadership which may seem inherently contradictory. For instance, I believe in the concept of natural-born leaders, but simultaneously, I believe that leadership is something that anyone can improve on.
My results show me that my beliefs on leadership are primarily a mix of the ability, skill, and process emphases. Concerning the ability emphasis, I believe that for some people, leadership innately comes easier to them by having qualities like charisma and confidence. However, leadership ability can be developed through consistent effort. Concerning the skill emphasis, I agree that learning and training can eventually transform anyone into an effective leader. Concerning the process emphasis, I accept the idea of leadership being an interactive dynamic with the followers as well as an influential relationship between the leader and followers.
One downside of the questionnaire which was mentioned in class is how generalized the statements are. Because leadership methods differ depending on the case, it was difficult to answer the broad, blanket statements regarding leadership.

Irish Columban priest addresses climate crisis in Pakistan
Fr Liam O'Callaghan is a 53-year-old missionary with an assignment he might never have imagined when he joined the Missionary Society of St. Columban 30 years ago: coordinator of the ecology commission for the Hyderabad Diocese in southern Pakistan.
In 2015, with the support of other Columbans, O'Callaghan helped translate Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment, "Laudato Si', Care for our Common Home," into Urdu and created an abridged version for schools and parishes. Care for the Earth is a message he is trying to get across to people within the Catholic community through seminars in parishes and schools as well as by setting up support groups.
The effects of climate change in some parts of Pakistan are "horrendous," O'Callaghan said in a telephone interview with NCR. "I am convinced that climate change is the biggest issue facing Pakistan today."
Citing data from a 2019 international study on climate risk, he said Pakistan has experienced 145 extreme weather events from 1998 to 2017, leading to the deaths of over 10,000 people. The country is ranked the eighth most affected by climate change in the world.
One of the major effects in Sindh province, where the Irish priest lives, is scorching temperatures. "Month on month, year on year, the temperatures are increasing," he said.
"Last year on 30th April 2018 in the city of Nawabshah, which is about two hours from where I am in the city of Hyderabad, a temperature of 50.2 C [122.4 F] was recorded in April, which is a world record," he said. "Never before on Earth has a temperature above 50 C been recorded in the month of April anywhere." The extreme weather event made headlines around the world.
O'Callaghan lived in the city of Lahore for 15 years before moving in 2016 to Hyderabad, where he initially lived in the parochial house of the Cathedral parish of St. Francis Xavier. For the past two years, he has lived in an apartment that doubles as the Columban office of Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation in a Muslim area of Hyderabad.
While the heat is debilitating if not deadly, it is not the only impact of climate change that Pakistan is coping with. "Monsoon rains have become much more unpredictable, and the rainfall is much heavier, very often leading to flooding," O'Callaghan said. "Over the past 10 years, there has been some major flooding in Sindh during the monsoon season."
The 2010 floods were the worst in Pakistan's history, leaving almost 2,000 people dead in their wake and over $40 billion worth of damage, according to the government.
Because of flooding and other factors, unsafe drinking water, O'Callaghan said, is a chronic problem. BioMed Research International reports that "anthropogenic activities cause waterborne diseases that constitute about 80% of all diseases and are responsible for 33% of deaths."
A Supreme Court-ordered Inquiry of Commission on the water situation in Sindh in 2017 reported that of the 336 water samples tested across 13 districts of Sindh province, 75% of them were unfit for human consumption.
In addition to poor water quality, Pakistan is predicted to be a severely "water-stressed" country by 2025 and will experience major shortfalls for its population of 207 million.
"On the ground the situation is so bad," O'Callaghan said. "The health of people is very poor. I help out in a parish, and over the last two to three years there has been an increase in young deaths, people dying in their 30s and 40s due to unclean water as well as oppressive lives with poor nutrition. I would say the average age of death among poor people is way below the national average of 57 years. That is shocking. We are trying to raise awareness about the importance of drinking clean water. We are researching different types of water filters, ones that are affordable to the poor."
He said the lack of forest coverage across the country is exacerbating other problems such as air pollution and flooding: "Pakistan has one of the lowest levels of forest coverage in Asia, totalling just 1.9% of the country, which is next to nothing. Experts say that 20 to 25% of a country's land area should be forested. If there were forests, the flooding wouldn't be as severe."
O'Callaghan welcomed Prime Minister Imran Khan's announcement of a national tree plantation drive to fight the effects of climate change. The plan calls for up to 10 billion trees to be planted across the country over the next five years.
One of the challenges for the missionary is the fact that Christians are such a small minority in Pakistan, totalling just 2.5 million out of a population of 207 million. Half of the Christians are Catholics. Their marginalized position means O'Callaghan has little access or influence with those operating the levers of power or making the laws.
He described his position as ecological coordinator for the diocese as "a new position that the bishop gave me when I came down from Lahore", adding: "I am working at diocesan level within the Christian community. Progress is slow, and the interest is not great — it is a bit of an uphill struggle."
He stressed that it is not just Christians, but the poor in general, who are adversely affected by the climate crisis. As the majority of Christians are poor, they are one of the most affected groups in Pakistan. In the cities, they live mostly in poorer areas with no access to clean drinking water. The increasing heat affects Christians who do much of the manual work, a circumstance compounded by their poor levels of nutrition.
"These factors together have a detrimental effect on health," O'Callaghan said. "In rural areas as drought and salinization take effect, poor people, including Christians, are forced to move to urban areas and often end up living in very poor conditions."
Although he is committed to interreligious dialogue, he said it's a challenge to get Christians and Muslims to work together on tackling the climate crisis. He said many Christians see themselves as persecuted by the majority Muslim population and asserted that many Muslims hold discriminatory attitudes towards Christians.
But Christians are not the only group discriminated against, he said. Hindus, the missionary priest explains, are "equally despised, the lower castes especially," while the Ahmadis are considered non-Muslim and even heretics by the Sunni majority and are the most oppressed group in the country.
So far, O'Callaghan said he has not succeeded in collaborating with any Muslim imams on the climate issue. "I am working with some NGOs [non-governmental organizations], and there are Muslim schools that we go to. But it is very hard to find an 'in.' "
"I visit mosques trying to build up relations, but I haven't got on to working on a common plantation yet. Part of the work is trying to meet government officials or local officials to keep pushing them to do something. The big frustration is that I don't have access to the people that we should be targeting — those who can make change happen."
In the context of the overall environmental crisis, he said he regards his efforts as a "drop in the ocean." He said the Columban parish in Badin is active in promoting environmental protection, and in the past year O'Callaghan and his Columban co-worker, Danish Yakoob, have begun to focus on training environmental activists in three schools and two community groups.
"Last year with help from Misean Cara [an organization supporting the development work of Irish missionaries around the world] we focused on small awareness-raising projects in schools and giving seminars to the wider community," he said. "We have been training up two Christian community groups called Mahool Dost or 'Friends of the Earth' in the local language, through workshops and a plantation. It is very much at a local level."
He added: "We journey for a year with students and teachers in each school, and with the community groups. The idea is to work in a more in-depth way with a few people, so that they in turn become agents of change in their families and the wider community, building up awareness and changing habits to protect themselves and their families."

This paper studies the role of the cut rule in cyclic proof systems for separation logic. A cyclic proof system is a sequent-calculus style proof system for proving properties involving inductively defined predicates. Recently, there has been much interest in using cyclic proofs for proving properties described in separation logic with inductively defined predicates. In particular, for program verification, several theorem provers based on mechanical proof search procedures in cyclic proof systems for separation logic have been proposed. This paper shows that the cut-elimination property fails in cyclic proof systems for separation logic in several settings. We present two systems, one for sequents with single-antecedent and single-onclusion, and another for sequents with single-antecedent and multiple-conclusions. To show the cut-elimination failure, we present concrete and reasonably simple counter-example sequents which the systems can prove with cuts but not without cuts. This result suggests that the cut rule is important for a practical application of cyclic proofs to separation logic, since a naïve proof search procedure, which tries to find a cut-free proof, gives a limit to what one would be able to prove.

If you are wanting to do a guest post on a site here is the best way to go about it:
There are different ways in which you could land yourself a guest posting gig on different websites. I happen to be familiar with two methods, which are very effective and have landed me quiet a few gigs in the past.
The first method is probably the oldest way of soliciting to work for any organization. All you have to do is visit the target website and surf the contact page. After that, you can contact them via mail with your solicitation. But note, this methods mos times needs regular follow ups as it might take a while before you receive any form of notification or response.
The second method is the most modern process and probably the fastest proving way of landing a writing gig. The first thing to do in this method is to search and register with any reputable freelance writing sites. There's hundreds of them on the internet. An example of such site are Guru.***, Freelancer, etc. After registering with any of them, you could simply find available jobs in the market place posted by websites who are in current need of specific writing jobs. This method is more reliable as you get paid instantly on the site after completing and submission of work done. It's more like fiverr, only that these new sites have more available jobs with equal opportunities to both beginners and old timers.
It should be noted that the host websites as explained above isn't the provider of jobs, they only connect employers with employees.

("Quid coniuratio est?")
[CN Editor -- I cannot vouch for the accuracy of all of the following. It may or may not be true, I just don't know. However I consider Skolnick to be an honest and careful investigator.]
[The following is a transcript of a recorded phone message put out by a group in Chicago called "Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts [CCCC]." (312) 731-1100 and (312) 731-1505.]
Hi! Sherman Skolnick, Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 9800 South Oglesby.
He is pushing laws to round up so-called "domestic terrorists". Has he aided real terrorists, himself... huh? We're talking about Congressman Henry Hyde, from the Chicago area.
The background:
Two savings & loans, now defunct, from the Chicago area, were reportedly part of CIA's secret operations to supervise and finance bloody "dirty tricks", including CIA-sponsored terrorists, and foreign and domestic political assassinations. One of those was, reportedly, Clyde Savings & Loan. At one time, Congressman Henry Hyde was part of the board of directors.
After Clyde went under, the federal S&L bailout agency, Resolution Trust Corporation [RTC], brought a suit in federal district court, in Chicago, against the board of directors, including Henry Hyde -- case number 93 C 2477. The RTC contends that Hyde committed certain wrong-doing that caused the federally-insured S&L to go under! With great loss.
The case was assigned to Chicago federal district judge Brian Barnett Duff, a close crony of former CIA director George Bush. In the Fall of 1993, an attorney for CIA showed up in the case. Judge Duff ruled that most of the proceedings thereafter are to be kept secret! And that the key matters in the case are to be concealed, with the warning that "This envelope contains highly confidential documents, and the clerk of the court is to maintain these records separate from the public records" -- that is, secret. Just one of the ways to try to keep the CIA records from being public! {1}.
Now notice this: As provided by the U.S. Constitution, there are three departments of the federal government: legislative, executive, and judicial. They are to be kept separate! Intelligence sources inform us that Henry Hyde wears two hats. Number one, of course, is his legislative hat as congressman. And he is part of the congressional committee pushing "anti- terrorist" laws, to round up and maybe put into concentration camps domestic dissidents -- such as citizens' militias. Because? Clinton and Hyde claim the militias are trying to overthrow the government. Oh yeah? But Henry Hyde's hat #2: he is in charge of CIA's "black budget" {2}. So he's sitting in two branches of the government at the same time -- a clear Constitutional violation. (As head of the black budget, Hyde has more actual power than the director of Central Intelligence.)
In [1983], a super-duper explosive, developed and controlled by CIA, was supplied to mideast terrorists supposed to use it against a CIA-selected target. Instead, it was used on the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 250 Americans. Both Reagan and Bush were responsible for that treason. And so was black budget chief Henry Hyde! A federal grand jury should ask Hyde what he knows about the explosives used in the double bombing of the federal office building in Oklahoma City. Was it something developed under CIA's black budget? Some think so.
How is it that federal undercover agents who infiltrated the militia are implicated in the bombing, huh?
Who, after all, is trying to overthrow the government and destroy the Constitution? Is it the militia? Or is it Henry Hyde and his gang, huh??
A senior investigation specialist of RTC wanted to do something about Henry Hyde and the "black budget" and Clyde Savings & Loan. The RTC official was murdered by being thrown off a building in Virginia! {3}. You suppose Henry Hyde knows anything about that, huh?!
The mass media, riddled with CIA rats, have a policy not to discuss provocateurs who work their way into dissident movements, and then bomb buildings, to blame onto the movement. Also, the press is generally silent about government-paid provocateurs.
All our lines are devoted to this message. Stay on the phone, you can hear the message from the beginning.
New message Saturday; we change it several times a week.
Donations appreciated. Citizen's Committee to Clean Up the Courts, 9800 South Oglesby, Chicago, [Illinois] 60617. For the latest on courts, banks, espionage agencies, political assassinations, and the news media. On 24 hours a day.
--------------------------<< Notes >>---------------------------- {1} "Just one of the ways to try to keep the CIA records from being public." Another way, suggested in a question put to Bill Clinton by Sarah McLendon in the recent White House press conference, is to transfer the records to "retired" CIA agents and then, when someone asks to see those records, you can say that you don't have them!
{2} "...CIA's 'black budget'" I lack a precise definition of exactly what is meant by the term "black budget". I, personally, would describe it as an area of government spending that is not open to public scrutiny. For example, if money is being allocated for, say, manufacturing weapons to be sent to the Contras, in violation of the Boland amendment, that allocation of funds might be kept "off-the-record", unavailable for public scrutiny, in the "black budget".
You may recall a television show last summer called "TV Nation". Michael Moore, the creator of the show, had a segment on the "black budget" which he wanted to air. Unfortunately, they didn't allow it to be broadcast.
There is also a book dealing with the "black budget" whose name escapes me; it might be named Black Budget but I'm not 100 percent sure on that.
{3} "The RTC official was murdered by being thrown off a building in Virginia..." Refers to Jon Parnell Walker: "The Resolution Trust Corporation people eventually figured out that their investigation of Madison wasn't getting anywhere because it was based in Kansas City, where Clinton's people stymied it. So Jon Parnell Walker, a Senior Investigation Specialist in the RTC's Washington office, began a campaign to get the case moved to DC. Soon after, Jon was looking over a possible new apartment in Lincoln Towers in Arlington, Virginia, when reportedly he suddenly decided to climb over the balcony railing and jump." (From "Murder, Bank Fraud, Drugs, and Sex" by Nicholas A. Guarino, Editor, The Wall Street Underground and former Arkansas businessman.)
I encourage distribution of "Conspiracy Nation."
Coming to you from Illinois -- "The Land of Skolnick"

Generally speaking we think about small form factor cases such as the Micro-ATX Thermaltake Core V21 in terms of the limitations they impose. You are restricted to a small motherboard, you may not be able to use a proper gaming graphics card and there is a good chance the amount of cooling you can install is limited by the size of the case.
The cuboid nature of the Thermaltake Core V21 defies expectations and allows you to rearrange the panels and cooling to your heart's content. Stripping the chassis bare is a quick process as each panel is held on with two thumbscrews. Once the top, bottom and sides are removed you can see the chassis is a simple framework with a riveted motherboard tray. This highlights how much space you have inside the V21 with clearance for a CPU cooler that is 185mm in height, a graphics card up to 350mm in length and a power supply up to 200mm long when you use a bottom fan in the case.
It is worth pointing out that one of the side panels has a huge window while the bottom has a mesh filter for the power supply and the other panels have huge magnetic dust filters, and you can install these panels in any order you choose. The front panel can also be rotated and the I/O panel moved to one of three locations and to make the result look neat and tidy the Thermaltake badge on the center of the panel can also be rotated on its magnetic mount.
- Motherboard support: Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX.
- Expansion slots: 5.
- Included fans: 1x 200mm front intake.
- Fan mounts: 2x 120/140mm front, 4x 120mm or 2x 140mm roof, 1x 120/140mm rear, 2x 120mm bottom, 2x 120/140mm in each side.
120mm radiator mounts: 1x 120mm/240mm front, 2x 120mm/240mm roof, 1x 120mm rear. 1x 120mm/240mm in each side.
140mm radiator mounts: 1x 140mm front, 1x 140mm/280mm roof, 1x 140mm/280mm in each side.
- 5.25″ drive bays: None
- Internal drive bays: 3x 3.5/2.5", 3×2.5″.
- Dimensions: 424mm H x 320mm D x 336mm W.
Once you have decided which way you wish to orient the chassis you can get busy with the build and this could be a frustrating process. First you install the power supply along with a fiddly retention bracket and this is followed by the motherboard. You'll need to install any CPU cooler mounts first as the position of the PSU means you have no access to the rear of the motherboard.
Once you have the main hardware installed you can choose which of the six drive bays you wish to use and do your best to tidy the cabling.
The final task is to install cooling, which could be simple if you use an air cooler on the processor and simply rely on the 200mm fan at the front of the chassis.
On the other hand you'll probably wish to install liquid cooling or a bunch of extra fans, and this brings us to an especially neat feature of the Core V21. There are four rails arranged in two pairs that can slot in the top or sides of the chassis and which can be spaced to suit 120mm or 140mm spacing.
You can, if you wish, install two 240mm radiators in the top of the case or a 280mm radiator on either side or pretty much anything you choose. By our count you can fit eight fans in this chassis, which is mind boggling.
The only downside to this method of installing cooling is that the side panels can be awkward to install, depending on the positions of the cooling rails.
To put this case through its cooling paces we will be using a test system consisting of an Intel Core i7-4770K, Radeon R9 290 and multiple storage drives. This system allows us to produce a substantial amount of heat and effectively test the Thermaltake Core V21's cooling capabilities.
For stress testing we use a mixture of Prime95 and FurMark to create the maximum heat output. Prime95′s 'Small FFTs' setting allows us to stress our CPU. FurMark's 'GPU Burn-in' mode creates the maximum amount of load our GPU is ever likely to see.
Test System:
- Processor: 3.9GHz Intel Core i7-4770K
- Motherboard: Asus Z87I Pro
- CPU cooler: Corsair H110i GT
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3-1600MHz RAM
- Graphics card: Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB
- Power supply: Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520W
- Storage drives: SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD
- OS: Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit.
Cooling Performance
Cooling depends entirely on the hardware you use. We tested with the Corsair 280mm liquid cooler and the Thermaltake 200mm fan at the front of the chassis and the results were impressive. Airflow is unrestricted, however the location of the power supply probably doesn't help CPU temperatures.
Acoustics Performance
This is a noisy case in the sense that it is very open in its design with those two huge air filters and that colossal window. There is barely any sound deadening material. Use the relatively quiet 200mm fan and you'll be fine but if you pack the case with fans you will doubtless suffer from a certain amount of noise.
Closing Thoughts
The V21 is an impressive design from Thermaltake. The ability to move the fans and radiators around to your heart's content is fascinating while the option of stacking two Core V21 chassis is novel. Thermaltake's idea of using the upper chassis to house a home brew liquid cooling system is interesting and eye-catching but realistically it is irrelevant for mainstream users.
The remarkable thing about the Thermaltake Core V21 is the low price of £48.74 inc vat. This reflects the build quality and Micro-ATX form factor but means you effectively get the novel features as a freebie.
You can certainly use the Core V21 as a conventional case without any extra cooling however that means you have to find a decent amount for space for chassis without reaping much in the way of reward. Use the features on offer and the V21 looks like excellent value.
Discuss on our Facebook page, over HERE.
- Front 200mm fan.
- Two magnetic dust filters help keep the chassis clean.
- Cooling rails allow many options for fan and radiator mounts.
- Sensibly low price.
- Case can be oriented whichever way you like.
- Front panel looks smart.
- Huge window to display your components.
- Ability to stack two V21 cases together.
- Power supply mounting is awkward.
- No access to rear of motherboard.
- The open design can be fairly noisy.
- No optical drive bay, even though there is an opening in the front of the chassis.
- Build quality reflects the price.
- Installing the side panels can be an effort.
KitGuru says: Innovative, exciting, unusual (and clearly built down to a price).

Release Date: 10/31/06
This new mini-album offers much more of the band's good old recipe for success of harsh distorted vocals, ripping bass lines and upbeat sequences. A storm of elektro assaults from the unexpected upgraded 2006 version of Claus Larsen's stellar hit 'Adrenalin Rush' to the frantic attack of 'Manic Aggression' through 'Punktured Eyeballs' which is most probably Claus Larsen's most terrific anger burst he has ever released. Next to more disturbing moments with 'Watch It Burn' and 'The Kitchen Knife', Leaether Strip also planned a little more melodic break with the engaged symphonic tune 'We Will Walk With Pride', a cover version of Marc Almond's 'Tears Run Rings' and yet a surprising homage song to Fad Gadget and co with 'Frank Tovey Taught Me Things'. The limited carton box edition (only 2000 copies worldwide!!) includes the 'Haelloween' 5-track ep holding a cover version of John Carpenter's freaking tune for 'Halloween' with additional harsh distorted vocals by Claus Larsen perfectly fitting the cult movie theme.

Engaging all the senses is a new evening event series from Musica Viva that will vibrate with light and music in equal measure! A multitude of light-energy waves pulse around us — reflecting and refracting, glowing and shimmering. The plant-world boasts flowers in every colour of the visible spectrum, and beyond into a mysterious world beyond human perception.
To celebrate this beauty, the first Musica Viva Session: For the Beauty of the Earth will be presented in partnership with the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney. This sold out performance on Wednesday 16 February is supported by Inspiring Australia NSW and will take place against the backdrop of The Calyx, home to the largest and most spectacular vertical floral walls in the southern hemisphere.
In celebration of the natural beauty that surrounds us, Vocal Detour, a newly formed ensemble of five passionate and highly experienced musicians, will take the audience on a journey of enchantment and reflection through the songs of Finzi, Hindemith and Wesley-Smith.
Every flower is a machine designed for reproduction and survival: competing for attention, they signal brazenly using colour, shape and scent. It can be a challenge to stand out in this gorgeous crowd, but every flower has its own unique charm.
Prior to the performance, horticulturist and historian, Paul Nicholson, will lead a guided journey through this breath-taking world of light and colour and, along the way, introduce audience members to some of the gems of the Royal Botanic Garden plant collection, including those featured at the inBLOOM@Calyx exhibition.
They will discover the amazing three-way relationship of the plant (Myrmecodia beccarii), the ant and the butterfly. Depicting the interconnectedness of the living world, as each depends on the other for survival in Australia's wet tropics rainforest.
For the Beauty of the Earth will also present a rare opportunity to see some of the Garden's orchid collection on show. The world's second largest family of flowering plants, orchids, use colour, shape, smell and deceit to lure insects and animals to do their bidding. Find out how they use sex and death in the pursuit of pollination.

From smoking to overeating to excessive social media use, everyone suffers from some kind of bad habit that's super hard to break. We think that this is the year that we'll finally get in shape, eat healthier, or fix whatever's ailing us, but let's be honest: we say the same thing every year and it never works. But it's not our fault; we have faulty wiring and we need outside help.
Fortunately, there's a nifty new gadget that's here to save the day: the Pavlok Electro Wristband. This wristband gives you a light shock every time you engage in a bad habit so that you develop a negative aversion to this behavior and ultimately stop doing it. Yes, just like Pavlov's dog, that classical conditioning experiment you learned about in 10th grade Psychology. Happy customers have reported quitting bad habits including nail-biting, oversleeping, snacking, wasting time, and even just thinking negatively.
The Pavlok lets you administer the shocks yourself by pressing the lightning bolt on your wristband or by pressing the zap button in the Pavlok mobile app. Pavlok also has built-in integrations with other apps and hardware like IFTTT and Fitbit so you can set Pavlok to shock you automatically. But if you'd prefer to just shock yourself, that's cool, too. It's fully customizable so you can adjust how strong the shocks are, or even set Pavlok to just vibrate or beep instead.
The Pavlok Electro Wristband normally costs $199.99, but you can get it for just $134.99, a savings of 32 percent.

The famous Italian car producer, Lamborghini, is manufacturing ones of the most expensive cars in the world due to the secret of their technology. These sports cars are so famous for their spare parts that can resist a very long period of time without any repairs or changings. Because of the high price and because some persons are so in loved of this car make, there is the option available to buy used Lamborghini cars. But where you can find used Lamborghini for sale at great prices?
This search may give you headaches because the number of Lamborghini is limited, so finding a used Lamborghini for sale may be pretty difficult. First of all, you can try with the biggest websites of searching used cars, for example Yahoo Autos. Here all used car in USA and not only are presented in a great manner so you can find from the beginning all details and features available on the car you wish to buy. If the results don't satisfy you, maybe trying to search on used car websites will be better. A great example of this website is Global Auto Sports because this is a specialized website in sport cars and all the announced posted here are including all models of Lamborghini available.
The websites announces are held by auto traders, so, it is highly recommended to find websites or announces posted directly by the owners of those Lamborghini cars. This may save some important money due to the trader's commissions. The best example of finding owners directly is Auto Imperia website. All Lamborghini cars located in USA are posted on this website and also owner's numbers and contact details are given for your reference. It is better that you have a face to face negotiation in order to get the best price for the used Lamborghini you want to buy.
The prices of a used Lamborghini for sale is different from one model to another and depend on how old is the Lamborghini you want to buy, if it has any damages or if it keeps all the original parts on it. But any how you can't find cheaper Lamborghini than 140,000 USD. So, be prepared if you wish to be the owner of such a great sport car. Keep in mind that maintenance for this car is also very expensive because it is an exclusivist car and needs exclusivist spare parts. Lamborghini authorized services are very rare also and very expensive. There are only few specialists that can fix a Lamborghini, so their prices for their services are pretty high.
So, if you want to find a used Lamborghini for sale, try more searching engines and be aware of all implications of being the owner of such a great car.

Congratulations are in order for Alexandra Chando (ex-Maddie Coleman, As the World Turns), who is thrilled to have landed a lead role in a new NBC pilot.
Described as a funny and heartfelt drama, the project chronicles the epic love and lives of two complete strangers, Adam (Ben Rappaport) and Eva (Chando), whose multiple run-ins begin to defy coincidence, leading both to believe in fate. Adam is a former high school teacher and romantic trying to find his footing in Brooklyn after a devastating breakup, while Eva is an aspiring artist and force of nature whose relationship and views on fate are put to the test when she meets Adam.
As reported by Deadline, the Mike Daniels project breaks the mold by pairing a serialized, stand-up-and-cheer romantic comedy with the wildly diverse and often unexpected human stories of anyone who finds themselves six degrees from Adam and Eva.
"Life is funnnnny. Just gotta hang in there," Chando shared on Instagram about landing such a spectacular role. "Immensely excited and grateful to be a part of this incredible show."
The NBC pilot is based on the Dutch series A'dam - E.V.A. (meaning "Amsterdam and many others"), which drew critical acclaim during its 2011-16 run. The series starred Teun Luijkx as Adam and Eva van de Wijdeven as Eva.
Chando played the role of Maddie on As the World Turns from 2005 to 2010, earning a Daytime Emmy nomination for her work on the CBS soap in 2007. After leaving the world of daytime, she landed the lead role in the short-lived series The Lying Game, played a recurring role on Sneaky Pete, and has appeared in television series like Castle, The Vampire Diaries, and Hawaii Five-0.
What do you think about Alexandra Chando landing a lead role in a new NBC pilot? What are your thoughts on the premise of the project? We want to hear from you -- and there are many ways you can share your thoughts.

July 1st — The Name of the Precious Blood of Jesus.
July 1st — The Name of the Precious Blood of Jesus.
1. Why is the blood of Jesus called the Precious Blood? Because it was the blood of God Himself veiled under the form of man, and therefore every drop of it as it flowed through His sacred veins deserved our supreme homage, as being united to His divinity. Hence we can adore the Precious Blood as we adore the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and all else that belongs to the sacred humanity, with the supreme homage that belongs to God alone.
2. We also term it the Precious Blood inasmuch as it was the blood of One Who was not only full of grace, but was Himself the Source of all grace, so that the grace that dwelt with Him was infinite, and the grace that manifested itself through the veil of flesh had no bounds or limits, save those that the mere fact of His human nature carried with it. If, therefore, the blood of the saints is counted as most precious, if we treasure up a piece of cloth stained with their blood, how much more is the blood of the King of saints precious beyond all price!
3. The Precious Blood is also precious on account of its effects. One drop of it was sufficient not only to cleanse the world from sin, but to earn all possible graces for all the millions who have ever lived on earth. How infinite then must be its preciousness! What has it not done for man! What has it not done for me! It has washed me clean and made me pure, in spite of all my sins.
O Jesus! give me an ever-increasing devotion to the Precious Blood!

Palestine: ICJ welcomes actions to accede to core human rights and humanitarian treaties
The ICJ today welcomed steps taken by the Palestinian authorities to accede to core international human rights and humanitarian law conventions.
On 1 April 2014, the Palestinian authorities signed 15 letters declaring Palestine's intention to accede to most of the core international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
On 2 April the United Nations confirmed that it had received the accession letters.
The Palestinian authorities also sent letters of accession relating to other international humanitarian law treaties, including the four Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 and the Hague Convention (IV) on the laws and customs of war.
These actions of the Palestinian authorities were made feasible following the adoption by the UN General Assembly of resolution 67/19 on 29 November 2012, which accorded to Palestine the status of non-member observer State in the United Nations.
By acceding to these treaties, the Palestinian authorities will assume legal obligations to respect, protect and fulfil a wide range of human rights guaranteed under international treaties.
They will also be obliged to adopt and implement domestic laws and practical measures to give effect to those obligations.
"Commitments by Palestine to abide by these treaties are a step forward towards ensuring that Palestinians, like people throughout most of the rest of world, enjoy the effective legal protection of international human rights and humanitarian law," said Said Benarbia, Director of the ICJ Middle East and North Africa Programme. "The international community should support these efforts and concrete action taken by the Palestinian authorities to implement the treaties so as to ensure greater protection of the rights of persons under Palestinian jurisdiction."

Greta Thunberg
Even though just a teenager in age, Greta Thunberg is one of the most influential people in the world. As a young female activist, she's been able to get the world's attention on the seriousness of climate change- something that lots of scientists have been trying to do.
It all started when she won a climate change essay competition in a local newspaper, which then led to her protesting on carbon emissions with other students. These protests went viral on social media, and caused a massive turnout of more than 20,000 students from all around the world joining her.
Greta has spoken at international meetings, called for governments to cut more global emissions, and called out on banks and firms to stop investing in fossil fuels. She's led the largest climate strike in history, and is now TIME magazine's youngest Person of the Year in history.
Her goal is to raise awareness on the real effects of climate change and to push for investing more in sustainable technologies and research in order to restore the damage. Taking on this activism push, she has been looked upon as a role model for other young girls to do the same. She has helped in realizing that age is just a number, and that women – no matter what age – have the potential to reach for their goals and aspirations.

How to choose the type of cabinet
Choose the type of cabinet
Let's decide on the formats: today there are two types of cabinets – a free-standing cabinet cabinet and a fully built-in wardrobe.
A free-standing or one-piece prefabricated cabinet type is distinguished by the fact that it can be installed anywhere in the room. This design is not tied to any room and, if necessary, can be moved to another place. The cabinet type is useful for several reasons: Continue reading
New trend – round beds in the interior
Round beds turn the bedroom into an inviting boudoir or a comfortable pillow fight field. On this topic, you can fantasize endlessly! And the direction of creative fantasies is determined by the owner of an unusual bed.
As a rule, a round bed becomes the main accent, under which the rest of the bedroom interior is adjusted. And the framing of such a pearl should be no less spectacular! Continue reading
4 good reasons to buy Italian furniture
The annual exhibition iSaloni2016, held this spring in Milan, once again proved that Italy is the undisputed leader and trendsetter in interior design. What was presented to the audience did not fit any established rules and canons – a riot of styles and colors, an unusual combination of seemingly incompatible textures and materials.
Isn't that why, when we say furniture, we always want to add – Italian? What is the secret of its enduring popularity – we will tell further. Continue reading

ArangoDB Performance Peculiarities
Why ArangoDB?
At work, we are looking into incorporating a graph database into our next generation stack. Graph database fits our business domain and business model very nicely, and a lot of our queries involve some form travarsal of relationships.
I have previous experience in Neo4j, and think it is very good at its job. On top of that, I think Cypher, the Neo4j's query language, is well designed and intuitive. However, due to licensing issues for Neo4j, the higher-ups do not approve of using Neo4j. Then my immediate manager finds out about ArangoDB. So off I went with my teammate to evaluate ArangoDB.
What is ArangoDB
ArangoDB is a multi-model database. It supports document, key/value, and graph data models. Quite honestly, when I first read about the multi-model, I feel skeptical. Having different models could lead to compromises. That may mean ArangoDB is "jack of all trades, master of none".
I wrote this post before ArangoDB 3.0.0 came out. For the following evaluation, I am using version 2.8.9. The results for 3.0.0 will be posted shortly. The evaluation was done on a 15-inch MacBook Pro (mid-2014 model); the test is to determine how long does ArangoDB take to create 50,000 vertices and 49,999 edges. The test is very simple, but I discover something peculiar with ArangoDB. The evaluate code, written in Scala, can be found in this gist.
The Results
Below are the results for ArangoDB 2.8.9:
--> Creating 50000 vertices - graphCreateVertex
Elapsed time: 56748ms
--> Creating 49999 edges - graphCreateEdge
Elapsed time: 57497ms
--> Creating 50000 vertices - createDocument
Elapsed time: 9987ms
--> Creating 49999 edges - createEdge
Elapsed time: 9283ms
--> Creating 50000 vertices - createDocument (batched 100)
Elapsed time: 3520ms
--> Creating 49999 edges - createEdge (batched 100)
Elapsed time: 3942ms
As you can see, the creation times for the vertices and edges go down
from around 57 seconds to around 10 seconds.
With batching enabled, the numbers go down even further.
All in all, the times go down from around 57s to just 4s;
that is a big jump!
What is surprising is the time difference between the different API calls, namely,
graphCreateVertex vs.
createDocument and
graphCreateEdge vs.
As far as I can tell, the difference between
graphCreateEdge and
createEdge is that
the former performs validation;
it makes sure the two vertices are present.
Whereas the latter do not perform such validation.
However, I cannot really tell the difference between
graphCreateVertex and
At first glance, one may say
graphCreateVertex is for creating a vertex,
createDocument is for creating a document.
However, as far as I understand, a vertex in ArangoDB is just a document.
Moreover, the graph created by
createDocument and
works just fine with AQL, the ArangoDB's query language.
The outcome seems to be the same,
createDocument is significantly faster than
Closing Thoughts
Overall ArangoDB is quite capable. Aside from the few gotchas I mentioned in the previous section, everything functions as advertised, and the performance is acceptable. Being able to support different data models in ArangoDB can be convenient. Though I am only concerned with the graph capabilities. In this post, I only evaluate the graph creation time. Another metric I care about is the traversal time. I have code that measures the traversal time as well, but I will leave that for a later post.
