North Carolina During The Revo Essay, Research Paper
The colony of North Carolina faced problems unique to itself preceding the Revolution. The colony had a general low diversity in its population, with most citizens being farmers. It suffered from internal unrest just before the American Revolution as a result of the War of Regulation (1768-1771). Also contributing to civil dismay within the colony was the large population of Tories, which later led to an overwhelming sense of anti-federalism within the colony. These factors contribute to a colony drowning in its own turmoil by the time any blood is shed on its land during the war itself (Crow 2).
Farmers comprised the majority of the population in North Carolina at the time. The population was scattered with low density across the region from the coastline all the way to the Blue Ridge. There was no real presence of a colonial aristocracy. Most of the higher class evolved from families in the Albemarle and Cape Fear areas. Because of the low diversity throughout the colony, no real gentry class arose (Crow 2).
There was a tremendous population increase around the middle of the 18th century (Crow 1). New settlers immigrated to the colony from Maryland Pennsylvania and New Jersey (Powell 105). The backcountry of the state filled, and with the population increase, they demanded more representation in the assembly. The easterners held power and opinion during that time, and refused to compromise. This in turn led to the War of Regulation in 1768, which pitted North Carolinian against North Carolinian. It was this variety of civil unrest that bred the staunch sectionalism within the Colony of North Carolina. There was never a real common thread of unity within the colony up to, and even after, the Revolution (Crow 2).
The Tory population in North Carolina greatly outnumbered the Patriots. Here we have another example of the die-hard sectionalism in the Carolinas. It is always, North-South, East-West, Tory-Whig, or what have you, with the lines drawn thick separating the population. For some reason, most North Carolinians were still remaining loyal to Britain. This division also resulted in civil unrest, and came to a head at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge in 1776 (Crow 2.)
Anti-Federalism later became the problem. This was most likely a result of the large portion of the population being farmers, as mentioned earlier. The farming population was not one to trust executive or congressional power. This proved to be a stumbling block in the forming of the state, with the political structure never being centralized, and causing struggle in the ratification of the federal Constitution. North Carolina was second to last to become a state (Crow 3).
My contention is this unrest within the colony preceding the revolution, in combination with many of its inhabitants having ancestry to militant countries or regions in Europe, caused North Carolina to be a political and sociological minefield. I do not know if this is what Greene and Cornwallis are referring to by a feeling of this being a savage state, but it is my interpretation of it. It is a state of low class farmers with strong political ideals, and they are willing to wage war against each other as a result. Any colony with such anxiety within its borders should have rightfully been deemed savage.

Sifting through the masses of online content to make good decisions about what to read, listen to or learn next is difficult. Sometimes, next to impossible. A way to make sense of the constant bombardment of content is to curate. At Filtered, we've hand curated over 800 assets across multiple platforms; our demo product, our L&D version, and client project as well.
We use this system of manual curation to build a training set for our algorithm stack magpieto automatically source and tag content. We've developed our own 6-step process: Understand, Source, Evaluate, Publish, Maintain, Analyse.
1. Understand: You curate for an audience, you don't curate for yourself. The most important part of content curation is understanding the needs of the audience. This requires time, thought and empathy. Invest time in familiarising yourself with the learning needs and context of your audience. In our demo product, we curated over 500 assets for modern knowledge workers. There are some important skills that are common to all knowledge workers: productivity, writing, email, Excel and the Microsoft Office package, and communication. Here is the base of our user profile, if they need to build these skills and are also short of time and under pressure, what content should we deliver to fill those gaps?
2. Source: Set up a system that works for you. I use email newsletters from organisations like HBR, McKinsey and Company, Brain Pickings and Fast Company. Twitter lists are a useful way to pick up ideas from thought leaders and writers. Pocket App is a great app for storing content and it also has a decent newsletter of excellent curated articles. Google alerts can be useful if the search terms you pick are refined enough.
3. Evaluate: Amalgamating content can be automated but curation is manual; it requires a considered human opinion. Refer to the profile you've created and evaluate content against that. Is the quality high enough? Does it support the learning needs of your target audience? If your learners are time-pressed, is the asset the right length? Are they mostly on mobile, is the asset mobile ready?
We use seven criteria to evaluate the quality of a learning asset - each must be:
1. Business-useful (applicable in real business)
2. Visually appealing, persuasive, enjoyable, succinct (good value per word)
3. Evidenced
4. Original
5. Independent: no in-content agenda (eg selling a product)
6. Serviceable: available, mobile-friendly, easy to navigate, not full of clickbait/ads
7. As a selection: a good mix of length and format-type
We judge our content against these criteria. A given asset needn't meet all of them to get the green light, but it will need to meet a few and these criteria are useful priming concepts as we go down the list evaluating them.
4. Publish: Present your content in a way that's meaningful to users. Promote the really juicy stuff (eg well-chosen TED Talks, for a lot of organisations) to attract your workforce to the learning system you use. Elevate it by giving it meaning through context. Tagging it to a competency will indicate the skill the content will build. We have 40 base competencies which you can learn more about here.
5. Maintain: Your content needs to stay clean and relevant. We have systems that check for broken or migrated links. Each asset is date stamped (where possible) so outdated content can be replaced by newer pieces if the subject area needs it. The fields of AI, cybersecurity and cryptocurrency move quickly so content will look dated fast.
6. Analyse: Find out what is and isn't working for your audience. Learning Locker from HT2 Labs stores learning data in xAPI format. We use it on our platform to gather and analyse all learning events on the platform, what assets were launched or favourited, what format is most popular, what departments use the tool most. Analysing this content will let you see what gaps you need to fill. What isn't getting traction. What you need more of. And of course aggregating and providing insights at department or firm level is more powerful still.
And then…repeat. Use your analysis to once again understand the (possibly new) needs of your audience. And begin the process again.
Curation never ends because there will always be a constant stream of new content. But at Filtered we've got a system to make some sense of it all.
How do you, personally or at your organisation, manage content overload?

This post is part of a series that my colleagues and I at Filtered are working on. It's broadly about how recommendations help us to make sense of all the content clutter, especially in learning. Have a look at our other posts here.

Well, I'm back, and spookchasing parasites take note: my tolerance of you has now hit zero.
Today, as I hurried down Ramsey's Parliament Street on domestic duties, a Moron missionary tried to block my path. Our conversation was brief and, for him, unproductive.
"Good morning sir, I have good news for you."
"No thanks, I'm not interested."
"But sir, I don't think you know what I'm offering."
"I do. Racism, sexism, homophobia, outright lies and an empty wallet. Did I miss anything? No, thought not. Now fuck off and get a job."
By the way, this happened bang outside the police station, so here's a word of advice for our new, community conscious police while I'm at it (as you claim to be so interested in public feedback).
Stop fannying about with fundie throwbacks in broom cupboards and get these beggars off the street. It's what I pay you for, and after all, unlike you, I won't be retiring in middle age on a fat pension.

The Economist published a blog post that tried to show negative stereotypes of tourists from different countries are often untrue and unfair.
And by stereotypes, they mean:
Germans? Humourless and demanding. Americans? Loud with garish shorts. Chinese? Rude. Canadians? Actually Canadians are all quite nice. And the Brits? Drunken, violent louts
The original version of the article featured a picture of a young British fellow "on a night out in Mallorca." This upset the man's mother, and she contacted the publication to ask that it not tar him with the aforementioned "drunken, violent" brush.
Well, The Economist was only happy to comply. It changed the photo and added this note to the bottom of the story:
Note: This blogpost was originally illustrated with a photograph of a young British man on a night out in Mallorca. His mother called to let us know that he meets none of the negative stereotypes mentioned in the article, so we have replaced the picture with a photo of two innocuous Canadians instead.
As a Canadian, I intend to contact them and object to the labeling of these two true patriots as "innocuous":

Started in Year
Thinking deep into the reflective eye, bringing a universal state of mind. Lady Lash has life stories with introspective thoughts and cryptic rap riddles which are rarely all completely absorbed in the first listen. The soulful lyricist has grind ethics towards hip hop and has spent many years hustling her skilful flow for crowds. The spiritual insight Lash brings to her music is that of a strong Kokatha/Greek Woman from the West Coast of South Australia. Supporting amazing artist over years and receiving numerous music awards, her positive jazz melodies infused with sultry rhymes bring an essence of modern street poetry. Lady Lash has come into her own as a microphone fiend and loves to capture hearts with powerful visions and vocals that push boundaries in profound ways.
Lash is currently in Production for her fourth album titled
'Therapy Tapes' due to be released 2017.
an Indigenous artist of the Kokatha nation
"I chose to spit rhymes through hip hop because it allowed me to not only express myself over dope instrumentals, but also to fit a massive quantity of word play and story in a short amount of time."
A Kokatha/Greek woman from far western South Australia, Lady Lash is a generic anomaly. Combing equal parts jazz, hip hop and soul interwoven with powerful storytelling, her music pushes sonic boundaries in profoundly beautiful ways. Having taken out the Victorian Indigenous Performing Arts Award for Most Promising Act and The Age Music Victoria Award for Best Indigenous Act with her debut album Crystal Mercy: The Fisherman's Daughter, Lady Lash is set to release her third album Therapy Tapes later this year.

Nevada County Reads & Writes 2020 presents
Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse, Station Eleven tells the spellbinding story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking everything for art and humanity.
One snowy night a famous Hollywood actor slumps over and dies onstage during a production of King Lear. Hours later, the world as we know it begins to dissolve. Moving back and forth in time-from the actor's early days as a film star to fifteen years in the future, when a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony roams the wasteland of what remains - this suspenseful, elegiac, spellbinding novel charts the strange twists of fate that connect five people: the actor, the man who tried to save him, the actor's first wife, his oldest friend, and a young actress with the Traveling Symphony, caught in the cross-hairs of a dangerous self-proclaimed prophet.
Sometimes terrifying, sometimes tender, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it.
The Nevada County Community Library and the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools invites everyone to take part in the Nevada County Reads and Writes 2020, a project designed to deepen engagement in literature through reading and discussion.

Lydia is the favorite child of Marilyn and James Lee, and her parents are determined that she will fulfill the dreams they were unable to pursue. But when Lydia's body is found in the local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, tumbling them into chaos. A profoundly moving story of family, secrets, and longing, Everything I Never Told You is both a gripping page-turner and a sensitive family portrait, uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle, all their lives, to understand one another.

The Martian by Andy Weir
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars.Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.
Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson
Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn't commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
"Every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so . . . a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields."—David Cole, The New York Review of Books
"Searing, moving . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America's Mandela."—Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times
"You don't have to read too long to start cheering for this man. . . . The message of this book . . . is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful."—Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review
Trash by Andy Mulligan
Three young teens, trash-picker living in the city dump of an unnamed third-world country, discover a mysterious bag one morning, triggering a chain of events that will change their lives forever. Raphael, Gordo, and Rat take turns nar-rating the story of how they uncover a network of political corruption and abuse of the poor. Each puzzle the boys solve leads to yet a new riddle for them to work out. The chase leads them throughout the city, exposing the great disparity be-tween the "haves" and the "have nots," and the huge injustice this represents. Several run-ins with the police make it clear that getting caught means death for the three boys.
"Trash is a compelling read. The action is riveting and the secret codes throughout will appeal mystery fans" - School Library Journal, starred review
"This gripping book engages readers both as an adventure and as a social justice story. Readers will be satisfied by the cinematic conclusion and the noble decision the heroes make." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The three boys, and others, act as alternating narrators of the story, giving vivid descriptions of their lives. In spite of this, the boys' hope and determination for justice and the dilemmas they face with so much courage will impress readers. Recommended." - Library Media Connection
The Fault in our Stars by John Green
Sixteen-year-old Hazel, a stage IV thyroid cancer patient, has accepted her terminal diagnosis until a chance meeting with a boy at cancer support group forces her to reexamine her perspective on love, loss, and life.
"The greatest romance story of this decade." —Entertainment Weekly
"This is a book that breaks your heart—not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger until it bursts."
—The Atlantic
"A story about two incandescent kids who will live a long time in the minds of the readers who come to know them."
"Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy."
—USA Today
Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork
Marcelo Sandoval, a seventeen-year-old boy on the high-functioning end of the autistic spectrum, faces new challenges, including romance and injustice, when he goes to work for his father in the mailroom of a corporate law firm.
"Stork introduces ethical dilemmas, the possibility of love, and other "real world" conflicts, all the while preserving the integrity of his characterizations and intensifying the novel's psychological and emotional stakes. Not to be missed." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"…Stork delivers a powerful tale populated by appealing (and decidedly unappealing) characters and rich in emotional nuance." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Writing in a first-person narrative, Stork does an amazing job of entering Marcelo's consciousness and presenting him as a dynamic, sympathetic, and wholly believable character." -- School Library Journal, starred review
"It is the rare novel that reaffirms a belief in goodness; rarer still is one that does so this emphatically." -- Horn Book, starred review
"Shot with spirtualism, laced with love, and fraught with conundrums, this book, like Marcelo himself, surprises." -- Booklist, starred review
The Help by Kathryn Stockett

Best Rawhide For Dogs Buying Guide & FAQ
What to Consider When Buying a Rawhide Bones
Before you start investing in rawhide bones for your dog, you need to know a little bit more about the main factors to look out for. Here is a list of some of them, so you can check the points off against each product which you may want to buy.
- Quality
As we have already mentioned, whenever you are giving your dog anything which is going into their mouth, there is always the risk that it could end up being swallowed and digested. So, it is especially important that ensure the quality is high. There are a few different ways that you can do this. First of all, you should take a closer look at the ingredient list. Many of the best rawhide chews are made exclusively from beef hide without the addition of any extra chemicals. Obviously, you can also give online reviews a closer inspection to see what other dog owners have to say about the rawhide dog treats.
When you have the products in your hands, there are a few other points to consider. Firstly, you should look at the thickness. Chunkier products are likely to last longer, and are often better if you have a big dog or aggressive chewer. If the color is light tan rather than white, this indicates that they are more natural rather than excessively bleached or treated with chemicals. You should also pay attention to the odor, as they should have a light meaty aroma rather than a putrid stink.
- Shape
As you can tell from the above buying guide, rawhide treats for dogs come in a range of different shapes and sizes. Some are specifically suited to the size of your dog. Some are better for gentle chewers, while others are for lighter biters. We will go into some more detail about the different types of rawhide chews later in the article, but it is worth noting that daintier chewers are better with smaller and softer products, whereas larger dogs and more aggressive chewers tend to be best with the kind of dense and stiff rolls which afford a lot of jaw movement.
- Place of Manufacture
Another factor which is worth checking out in more detail is the place of manufacture. For example, if they have been made in the USA, it is much less likely that illegal or toxic chemicals have been used in the manufacturing process. Obviously, this is not the only point that you should bear in mind, but it is one which is worth adding to the list.
Benefits of Rawhide Chews
Before you buy a new product for your dog, you should have a clear idea in your mind about what sort of benefits it offers. Here we will go through the specific benefits of rawhide chews one-by-one.
- Satisfies Your Dog's Need to Chew
All dogs have a natural instinct to chew. Some can even spend hours every single day doing this. Not only does this provide your dog with stimulation, but it can also help to relieve symptoms of anxiety as well. Puppies have a particular need to chew to develop their teeth and jaw muscles, and you will want to make sure that this energy is directed into products like rawhide for puppies. But keeping your dog busy chewing on something suitable isn't only beneficial to them. It also helps to keep them away from your favorite pair of sneakers, or anything else that they can sink their teeth into!
- Improves Dental Hygiene
Not only does chewing help to keep your dog's jaws strong, but it also helps to keep their teeth clean, their breath a little bit fresher and their teeth whiter. The pressure on the teeth and gums provided by chewing serves to toughen them up, which is something that wild dogs used to be able to do while hunting, but domesticated pooches don't have the same opportunities. Dogs who regularly chew on rawhide or similar products tend to have less plaque and tartar build-up, which naturally accumulates when the teeth are left dormant.
Looking after your dog's oral hygiene is an ongoing task and one which will help to stop them needing expensive dental work further down the line. Even more troubling, poor dental hygiene can lead to bacteria entering other parts of your dog's body. In turn, this can cause conditions such as gingivitis, which can then result in periodontitis, the leading cause of tooth loss in dogs.
- Helps to Alleviate Boredom
As you already know, the responsibilities of a dog owner don't stop at making sure that they are healthy. You also have to ensure that they are happy, entertained and engaged. Dogs naturally get bored and demand your attention. If they don't get it, this can lead to destructive and damaging behaviour. Giving them something to chew on can keep them busy for minutes or even hours at a time. Of course, you should still make sure that you supervise your dog to ensure that they don't encounter any of the dangers associated with rawhide, which we will talk about in the following section.
Dangers of Rawhide Dog Bones
While rawhide dog bones certainly have plenty of benefits for your dog, this doesn't mean that there isn't a fair share of dangers as well. It is important that you know what these are so that you can make a more informed decision about which variety is going to be the safest for your four-legged friend.
- Added Chemicals and Preservatives
The first thing to check is that the rawhide chews are made using 100% beef hide. Otherwise, you could end up with ones which have been treated with artificial flavors, colors or other chemicals. Even if they only contain trace amounts, they can be harmful to your dog if they keep chewing and consuming them on a regular basis.
- Intestinal Blockages
Another issue directly associated with rawhide dog chews is that they can cause an intestinal blockage of some variety. While studies have shown that your dog's stomach will normally break down rawhide, it tends to take a longer time than other food varieties. This kind of intestinal blockage can pose a health risk to them, or at least interrupt their regular digestion. One of the best ways of preventing this is by stopping your dog from consuming bigger pieces.
- Choking Hazard
Perhaps the most widely talked-about risk of rawhide bones is that they are can present a choking risk. If your dog breaks off and swallows a big chunk of rawhide, this could end up getting caught up in their oesophagus or another area in their digestive tract. Obviously, this could be very dangerous for your dog and lead to a trip to the emergency vet. In more extreme situations, abdominal surgery will be required to remove broken off pieces from the intestines or stomach.
Whenever your dog is chewing on one of these products, you should ensure that you are always supervising them closely. This way, you can take the treat away if they suddenly start biting off and swallowing larger pieces – and you can spot any signs of choking straight away and take action immediately.
- Broken Teeth
We have already talked about how rawhide chews can be beneficial for dogs, but on the other side of the coin, poorer quality products can end up breaking your dog's teeth, causing pain, and racking up a significant vet bill. Again, this is why it is so important to make sure that you are investing in good-quality dog treats.
Types of Rawhides for Dogs
Different rawhide chews are suitable for larger and smaller dogs, so you need to choose a type which is appropriate. Also, if your pooch is a particularly aggressive chewer, they may need one which stops them from biting off and potentially swallowing larger chunks. Here is some more detail on a few of the most common varieties for you to consider.
- Rolled or Cut
These rawhide treats have been cut into strips and rolled together to resemble a thick bone. They commonly have knots at both ends which often come off in chunks when your dog starts getting his or her teeth into them. To inspect the quality before you offer them to your dog, you should take a closer look at the end of the roll. If there are neat circles, it signifies that the chews have been made from a long sheet of rawhide and are better for giving to your hound. However, if there are breaks in the circle and the layers are difficult to spot, it could indicate that the chew has been made from fragments and small sheets of rawhide. These lower-quality products are less likely to stand the test of time.
- Granulated
Granulated rawhide dog chews are the softest and most crumbly of the different varieties available. These are best suited to younger dogs and puppies, as larger dogs and aggressive chewers are likely to make short work of them and they won't offer the maximum benefits. Since they are not very long-lasting, it is likely that you are going to need to buy a lot of them to have a constant supply ready to go.
- Chips and Strips
Chips and strips are a short-term solution to your dog's chewing desires. They often come in big packs so that you can keep giving them to your pup on a regular basis.
- Compressed
The other main type of rawhide dog treats are compressed together before being moulded into a special shape for your furry friend to get their teeth stuck into. These chews tend to be denser and harder than other varieties and are likely to last for a longer period of time, making them ideal for large hounds and stronger chewers.
Best Rawhide For Dogs FAQ:
Q: What are rawhide dog treats made of?
A: Rawhide dog chews are made from the inner layer of cow or horse hides. When they are manufactured, the hides are initially cleaned, before being cut or ground. Following this, they are then compressed into different shapes and sizes. To make them more appetizing for your dog, many include other appetizing ingredients such as chicken, beef or liver. Many of the best products don't include artificial chemicals or preservatives.
Q: Are rawhide dog bones safe for my dog?
A: While rawhide treats are safe for many dogs, there are a few points which are worth bearing in mind when you are trying to work out if they are okay for your four-legged friend. Rawhides should be long-lasting chews which break down into smaller and softer pieces over time. Issues tend to arise when larger dogs and stronger chewers break off large pieces which present a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages. Offering a properly-sized rawhide treat will help to alleviate this risk. Bigger and chunkier chews are better for larger dogs and stronger chewers to stop them breaking off pieces. Most rawhide chews are suitable for softer chewers who are less likely to break them up into chunks. However, if you find that your dog continually breaks off large chunks, you are better off selecting a different type of dog treat. Also, if your dog has a history of diarrhea or other digestive troubles caused by rawhide, it is better to look for alternatives.
Q: Does my dog need supervision while chewing rawhide?
A: Supervising your dog closely is one of the best ways of ensuring that they don't bite off more than they can chew; namely, bigger chunks of rawhide. It is a good idea to separate your dog from your other pets – particularly if they are protective around their food. Once the rawhide treat is small enough to swallow whole, it is time to take it away from your dog to stop them from swallowing it whole. This way, they can relax, and it is less likely that they will try to force down pieces which are too big. A few warning signs that you need to look out for in your dog include gagging, regurgitation, vomiting, and signs of pain. If you notice that your dog is continually breaking off large chunks or they are starting to gag or choke, the time has come to check with your vet about the other types of chews and toys which are better for them. Your vet can provide guidance on how many chews they can eat on a regular basis, so you don't overfeed your dog.

Hi, Readers. I, POOJA KUMARI SINGH, back with my second blog. It is all about my journey with Arena Animation, Park Street in last 15 months. I joined APS for GWDD course which is just completed on 30th November,2017 & I got my dream job which joining date is from 4th December,2017.
Before packing up my bags, I want to share my journey in APS which is very important & memorable part of my life .Basically ,I was not so serious in my 1st semester for my course. I started realizing about my own life and career after joining in 2nd semester. My mentor Somnath Sir inspired me from the day one when I joined my second semester. After few months, I realized that I can also become independent & feel esteem about me & my family. So, I started to do hard work with dedication, punctuality, discipline & follow the guidelines whichever my mentor instructs. In second semester I got chance to become a team-leader. As a team-leader I learned how to coordinate with team members, to take the responsibility of every small things and to finish work within the given deadlines. On my first activity, as a team leader I failed to organize the things properly and for that my mentor scolded me and that day was the lesson to me for whole life.
I have enjoyed my web lab (Pinocchio) room very much, not only we have to study seriously, but we also listen music often. I love all the activities , I have done here & desire to come back again in next activity. This 15 months of my journey taught me a lot. I learnt here how to keep balance between my personal life & professional life. This is my last day with APS but it is professionally. I will remember all lesson which will help me in my near future. I and my parents are very thankful to APS especially my mentor Somnath Chakraborty Sir for believing and taking me there where I am today.

How Can You Find The Perfect Accessories And Fittings You Need When Building Your Home?
Are you finally building the home of your dreams and you are overjoyed over the fact that you can create a home that has exactly everything that you need as that is something that we cannot expect when purchasing an already constructed home but you are still feeling a little lost when it comes to where you can find the accessories and fittings you need, especially for your bathroom? Or are you in the process of renovating your home and you do not know where you can find the accessories and fittings that you need?
Whatever the case may be, whether you are building the home that you have been dreaming about your whole life similar to the individual in the first example but even though you are excited that you can have the exact number of rooms and bathrooms that you need, you are having trouble finding the fittings that you need or if similar to the individual in the second example, you are simply renovating your home because you feel that it is time for a change but you have no idea where you can find freestanding bathtubs, it really can be quite hard to find these items. This is because not only is it difficult to find modern looking bathtubs in your local stores but these bathroom accessories like the bathroom vanity can also be extremely pricey. So read below to see how you can find them.
Ask professionals
One of the best ways that you can find accessories to create the designer bathrooms that you need at a comparatively affordable price is by asking the professionals that you are currently working with. When constructing your home, you will be working with an engineer, architect and maybe even an interior designer and since these professionals have worked on many different houses and bathrooms, they will be able to recommend you some great places to shop these accessories from.
Ask friends
If you know that a friend of yours recently had their own home built, you can then ask this friend if they know of any great suppliers for bathroom as they may have surely visited several different suppliers and stores when looking for fittings for their own bathrooms and can make you some great recommendations.
Look online
If all else fails and you do not like the recommendations that you received from anyone that you asked, you can then choose to take your search online and not only can you find great stores located close to where you live this way, you can also find some extremely unique and beautiful designer pieces for your bathroom when looking online!

Apologies for the loooooong delay in posting!
I have two resights to report. Dave Hamlin observed Herring Gull C01 at Ogunquit Beach, Maine on April 24, 2011. He'd seen C01 at the same location in February of 2010 (see previous post here). C01 was originally banded as a chick in 2005; we'll keep our eyes peeled for this bird on a nest at Appledore this year.
J06 (apparent HERG x LBBG offspring) was observed in Alabama on February 17, 2011 by Michelle Stantial. Michelle used to work for SEANET as our Eider Intern. She diligently surveyed a very long stretch of beach in Wellfleet, Massachusetts (in wind, snow, and rain!) looking for dead or dying Common Eiders as part of our investigation into the cause of mass mortality events involving these birds. After working with us, Michelle was employed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Virginia Tech and started working on Piping Plovers in Alabama. She saw J06 on Little Dauphin Island, Alabama. J06, as you may recall, is an apparent offspring of the HERG x LBBG pair and was banded as a chick in 2009. J06 was reported by two other observers near the same location in Alabama in July and October of 2010 (See previous post here).
Thanks to Dave and Michelle for the great reports!

As the last days of summer fade, darkness descends until the sun becomes a distant memory. Jack, eager to work, finds himself alone when his companions are forced to leave, one by one. Soon enough, the nightmarish ambience takes its toll, especially when a horrific figure makes itself known.

For contrast, we've added a strip of Poplar on the tabletop. This is not your average Poplar - this was a special find with gorgeous warm purple tones that blend perfectly with the Walnut. An ideal little coffee table.
We'd be thrilled to customize this piece for you. Choose from a variety of hardwoods + Dimensions.

The informational flyer was produced by the Ministry of Agriculture rather than the Ministry of Health – a point from which I infer that the Czechs have not yet lost their sense of perspective on the problem.
On the front side of the flyer are 5 questions and answers.
- What is avian flu? The answer explains that it is a virus that affects birds, both wild and domestic, and goes on to describe the symptoms of a sick bird.
- What is the risk of bird flu being transmitted to people? The answer explains that the risk is low, and that people have only contracted bird flu in exceptional circumstances, meaning close and extensive contact with stricken birds. Therefore people should avoid unnecessary contact with birds as well as with their droppings and feathers.
- What are the symptoms of avian flu in people? The answer describes the symptoms, and then goes on to explain that the probability of any people getting bird flu in the Czech Republic is extremely low and that in the conditions here, the virus is really a veterinary problem.
- How does one protect oneself against bird flu? The answer is about hygiene and washing and disinfecting one's hands if one has had contact with birds or their poo. The answer also mentions that people who work with birds may have to wear protective clothing.
- Should we be worried about eating poultry or poultry products? The answer is no, that birds on poultry farms are being monitored, and that one need only follow the usual rules of hygiene and cook poultry or eggs properly. The virus will not survive temperatures of
70°Cor above, and the time needed at this temperature is just one second.
The back of the flyer offers six points of practical advice:
- If you should come across a bunch of dead wild birds, inform the veterinary authorities or a private veteran or the police.
- Don't go near sick or dead birds and tell your children to stay away from them.
- Wash your hands regularly and especially before you eat. Cook in a hygienic manner.
- Don't allow your dogs, cats, etc to be exposed to sick or dead birds.
- If you are going to a country with a bird flu problem, check with the European Centre for Disease Control and the Ministry of Health. Don't visit places like poultry markets.
- Do not needlessly worry about consuming poultry and poultry products – note the point about letting the food reach a temperature of
70°Call the way through.
I was pleased by the flyer because I felt it was good, practical advice without any exaggeration or tone of panic. In fact, it seemed like it was meant to allay fears rather than stir them up.

The Keystone-Monon Community Garden launched as an idea in early 2015, and it took an entire year of planning, building our garden community, drafting proposals, securing land, and raising funds before the first garden bed was planted. As we enter our fourth growing season, we've found that the most important thing to fully embrace throughout the lifespan of any community garden is this: without community, it's just a garden (and probably not a very successful one at that).
At our core, we strive to be a community organization rooted in gardening. We welcome all in our neighborhood and recognize that every person brings something of value to the table. Even as you work to build a garden, cultivate your plot, and harvest your gorgeous produce, the more important thing to cultivate continually is community.
So what's your action plan?
- GATHER your community and establish whether there is a critical mass committed to both gardening AND community. Discuss community organizing topics, such as Asset Based Community Development and Assume Positive Intentions, and ask people why they are there and what they hope to get out of creating a garden.
- ESTABLISH your organization's mission and vision. Don't rush through this part, and make sure your mission and vision are developed collaboratively by all.
- EXPLORE land options. Some options include vacant lots, parks, churches, private land – any unused or underused space. Be creative, and be sure to consider access, parking, and, most importantly, water. The Indy Urban Garden Program is an example of our city supporting turning vacant lots into urban garden production. The Keystone-Monon Community Garden identified Arsenal Park as our desired space due to its central location and its popularity as a gathering space for all in our community.
- DESIGN your space, considering light, access to water, placement within your neighborhood, and any site-specific considerations, such as busy roads. Our design team developed two phases, allowing us to grow slowly, building off successes and giving us the chance to rethink any missteps.
- DEVELOP your proposal. Because we work closely with Indianapolis Department of Parks and Recreation, we developed an extensive proposal, including our mission and vision, goals, design plans, annual schedule, maintenance plans, and risk management tactics. While many locations might not require such an extensive proposal, this guidance document has been extremely useful as we have built the garden, established partnerships, and applied for funding.
- BUILD partnerships. Truly, you cannot talk to enough people, organizations, or businesses. Look to everyone in your community, and listen to their needs and services. Schools, businesses, non-profits, hardware stores, churches, restaurants, neighborhood development corporations and associations, other community gardens: all could potentially serve as partners or provide guidance and support.
- RAISE funds. In addition to a nominal per-bed fee (waived for anyone who is unable to pay), we have raised funds through grants, individual donations, donations from churches and businesses in our neighborhood, neighborhood garden tours, and seedling sales. We have also received in-kind donations of wood and supplies, free mulch from tree service companies, and the donation of a Bobcat from a neighborhood tool rental business to move soil.
- FINALIZE land agreements and ACQUIRE insurance. Each year, we submit reports and renew our agreement with the city. The American Community Gardening Association also recommends community gardens acquire general public liability insurance, which we established through Farm Bureau Insurance.
- BUILD! This is when you get to really activate your community in a very tangible way! During the spring of 2016, we hosted multiple volunteer days, moving mountains of mulch, building 20 garden beds, and putting together our storage shed. These are also some of the most fun, rewarding projects for volunteers who can walk away seeing what a huge difference they have made.
- MANAGE the garden. Applications, participant waivers, regular gardener communications: your group will need to decide how to manage everything.
- EDUCATE and CELEBRATE early and often. Offering educational and social opportunities rooted in gardening and celebrating your community help continue your positive momentum and involve all in the neighborhood, even if they aren't gardeners.
If you read the steps above and felt like you could never accomplish it all on your own, you are probably right! But when you have a strong community of people who are willing and encouraged to speak up; share their skills, ideas, and connections; and empowered to take action, you can accomplish anything. And each person involved will make everything you do that much stronger, better, and easier to accomplish.

Introduction of Subutex (Buprenorphine) for opiate substitution changed the lives and saved a lot of users, who were slaves of opiates. At the same time, Buprenorphine as semisynthetic opioid itself causes addiction, so the question how long does Subutex stay in urine has been asked quite frequently.
How does the Subutex work?
Subutex (Buprenorphine) helps in cases of severe pain, and as an alternative to Methadone, Subutex treats addiction to Heroine, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and other, affecting in a certain way on the nervous system.
Opiates bind the receptors on the brain and produce three main effects:
pain relief,
reducing of respiration.
Subutex (Buprenorphine) is different than all opioids because of its special connection to opioid receptors. The pain goes away, but euphoria and respiratory depression are not so strong as because of other opioids. The receptors are "satisfied" with Subutex and other opiates don't work as usual.
In other words, you can't get high with Subutex, but you can stop taking Heroin or whatever else opioid without withdrawal. Learn how to clean your system of opiates on a test day.
Can they detect Subutex by the standard drug screen?
No, they can't. To test the presence of buprenorphine in the body the more advanced and expensive drug test required. They can test your urine, saliva, blood, and hair like in other opiates. To make your urine temporarily free of buprenorphine by-products use that stuff.
How long Subutex stays in system?
"Usual" opioids like Heroine leave the system rapidly. Buprenorphine blocks the receptors for a much longer time. That's why Subutex effects last up to 3 days. Here're the periods of Subutex detection depends on the type of the test:
Start of detection
40 min-4 hours
5-7 days
End of detection
3-7 days
6-14 days
3-6 month
As you can read here the detection time frames in average is shorter. We had an additional research and tried to show the whole picture.
Who become clean faster?
Note, that detection period for Buprenorphine as for other drugs vary from person to person in a wide range. A time when the can be detected depends on:
Age — Subutex metabolizing slower in older users,
Weight — Subutex binds to lipids and stay in system longer if a person has high body mass,
Liver function — Subutex breaks down in the liver, so if the user has liver disease or infection, the time of detection will be prolonged.
This is only a few factors that influenced to detection period. The other ones like dosage, drugs combination, ways of administration has an equal importance. Clean your self from opiates.
Useful effects of Subutex (Buprenorphine) in opioid addicted people are hard to overestimate. It saved a lot of lives, treating the severe pain and symptoms of opiate withdrawal. If you've been under medication like Subutex, follow all directions of your doctor and try to rebuild your life.
Try it if you want Subutex to leave your system.
