Paraguay Torn Between Utilizing Excess Power In Mining, Manufacturing Industries
The country is not sure about deploying its electrical power for mining or fighting poverty.
Can Mining End Paraguay's Poverty?
The largest hydropower producing plant in the world, Itaipú dam in Paraguay is churning out excess electricity. With the overproduction, Paraguay is now in a dilemma regarding the utilization of the power. The country is torn between using the electricity in mining cryptocurrencies or assisting the poor.
Reports by The Guardian indicates that the power is being used in mining Bitcoin and Ethereum. The dam lies on the border of Brazil and Paraguay. The country's crypto mining sector is booming with entities and individuals making profit from the business. Profit is coming in through renting rigs. However, a section believes that the power used in mining can be deployed in other sectors.
Many want the power to be used in alleviating poverty. World Bank figures indicate that the country has among the highest with inequality among residents. It is now clear if the electrical capacity will be withdrawn from the mining sector or not. According to Gregorio Barreiro, a businessman, mining is enriching a number of people in the country.
Bareiro is an active player in the mining business. He has a business where he rents computers and an air conditioned space to miners . Bareiro joined the crypto sector when he was setting up ad hoc cooling units for rigs. In his rental facility, he employs 12 people, while renting out about 750 computers.
The excess power generated by Itapú's cannot be accommodated in the national grid.The country has therefore resolved to sell it to Brazil. The initiative has contributed to lowering the cost of electricity in the country. The affordable power rates have attracted firms like AWS mining. The company specializes in setting up farms in regions with cheap energy prices.
According to Barreiro, the crypto industry might be the answer to Paraguay's poverty situation. He believes that the sector might generate sufficient revenue to alleviate the country's external debt within a decade.
Mining businesses want to use the extra power and channel it towards establishing additional mining infrastructure. However, conflicting opinions have emerged with others calling for using the power in manufacturing industries. The group is led by politicians and scholars among other leaders.
This lot opines that use of power in manufacturing will boost the country's GDP since it has the potential of generating about two million jobs. However, the crypto mining sector is gaining momentum with numerous businesses springing up.

In my problem solving sessions students must combine different types of information, such as personal experiences and prior knowledge to complete tasks. One of which is the 'Who Dun it' stories where they must extract information from the text. Literal comprehension, involving recognising and remembering facts is easy for the students compared to inferential comprehension which requires them to deduce information that is not explicitly stated in the text (G. Jimenez-Fernandez 2015). The strategies needed to do this is modeled by me then practiced by the students.
In Escape Rooms the game provides an interactive and intuitive gaming experience based on various storylines. Normally players work in teams to find clues and solve puzzles within a time limit and ultimately escape the room. The goal of my lessons is for the students to develop persistence and to learn to problem solve on their own. In life, the students are faced with frustration and challenges that they will need to overcome to have success. The escape room is used to show them that they can use strategies, resources and other people to help to debug the problems that they may face.
The MakerSpace is a learning environment that enables rich possibilities. It allows students to be creative, collaborative, critical thinkers and problem solvers in a safe environment where these things are supported and encouraged. In the MakerSpace the students complete projects, create designs, built on their own ideas, or follow instructions to complete projects and complete stem challenges and task cards. In the MakerSpace the students can take risks and iterate from failures to success.
I deliberately put these activities into the timetable as curriculum activities in their own right without them being part of another curriculum area such as science. For two reasons; one, so I could see the progress the students made and two, the learning needed by other curriculum areas was not a distraction to my observations and reflections.

Everybody seems to think Saruman is a real bad guy…
But why?
It's time to finally challenge the mainstream narratives.
But first of all, we need to look at what the extremists and fanatics on BOTH sides are saying about him.
First of all, middle of the road Silicon Mafia 'encyclopedia' Wikipedia says:
Saruman is one of several characters in the book illustrating the corruption of power; his desire for knowledge and order leads to his fall, and he rejects the chance of redemption when it is offered.
This, of course, is a shallow ad hominem fallacy, and doesn't really tell you anything really deep or profound; resulting to personal attacks is precisely by the debate over Middle Earth is in the gutter. Can't you see you're BOTH part of the problem?!
Another equally shallow and disingenuous wiki likewise insinuates:
His extensive studies of dark magic, however, eventually led him to desire the One Ring for himself.
Note the rampant Isengardophobia here. If somebody else does it, it's white magic; if Saruman does it, it's black magic. Look, legitimate criticism is OK, but this constant one-sided, disproportionate criticism is clearly founded on a double standard colossal enough to rival that directed against Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in Operation Iraqi Freedom!
He studied deeply the arts of Sauron, the better to oppose him, but he soon became enamored of Sauron's devices, especially the One Ring. He betrayed his mission and sought the power of the Ring for himself. He initially advocated an alliance with Sauron, but he soon betrayed Sauron as well, as his ultimate goal was to supplant Sauron and rule Middle-earth.
There is a real conspiratorial bias against centrists, which insists that everything bad that happens is because of centrists, and centrists aren't capable of having good intentions, or making honest mistakes. Why are centrists the only people on Middle Earth who are not allowed to mess up from time to time? This is just sheer opportunistic, paranoid bigotry!
He is one of the few characters in Middle-earth who is morally "grey" – serving neither good nor evil. He betrays both sides and ultimately works for his own ends.
Oh, so now all of a sudden 'nuance' is bad, and extremes are OK? I really don't think we can construct a more tolerant, decent, diverse, inclusive society if we keep thinking in black and white, with all these rigid dichotomies.
Saruman is cruel, uncaring, and treacherous. He would do anything to achieve greater power, even if it means betraying his own allies, especially the White Council.
If you've got nothing nice to say, say nothing at all! It's all very well to make these simplistic, crude criticisms when you weren't the man in the driving seat, making the tough decisions! Just ask Tony!
Blair Warns Germany: Stop Apologizing for Mass Atrocities (1/2)
Blair Warns Germany: Stop Apologizing for Mass Atrocities (2/2)
And YTAF is he listed under 'villains?!'
Do we really have to keep dividing the world into good and evil, heroes and villains?????
Look, it's not about either/or. It's both and…
End of! Take it or leave it!
Tom Shippey says, in The Road to Middle Earth:
Saruman talks like a politician.
As if that was a bad thing! These are precisely the kind of one-sided criticisms that make our job difficult. And what, pray tell, could possibly be wrong with 'resolving incompatibles?' I supposed you'd rather they were left unresolved? I have to say, that sounds a little extreme to me.
Christopher Lee himself said it best:
You must understand, Peter — he's really not an evil man.
Good and evil don't exist. Everything, when it comes down to it, is really just a matter of opinion. Who's to say for sure what is right or wrong?
Let's make sure tolerant, decent centrists like us win out in the end.
Let's just finish off with a self-evident appeal to common sense?
If Saruman was essentially a centrist, why is he a bad guy? Surely people who studiously seek out the middle ground beyond all possible extremes are beyond all conceivable reproach??????

These two photos are of (top) my great grandmother Emma (Walker) Spencer and her daughter Ivy Spencer. They were taken on the same day in between 1900 and 1910 I believe. Grandmother Emma had a great sense of humour and looked a lot like my dad's eldest sister who I was very fond of.
But the funny thing is to look at Ivy's face. She could be a clone of my eldest sister when she was young. As my sister says she got the "lantern" jaw, which quite a few got also.
Emma had eight living children although sometimes children who died in infancy were not always listed which is sad really - not to even be listed as having being born. I rather think the parents would have remembered each and every one.
Ivy became a teacher as did my eldest sister before becomming a nurse. There seemed to be quite a few teachers ad nurses in the family... respectable professions for gals in those days I suppose.

The disease itself fails andLeft untreated, it becomes chronic. Sometimes the disease trigger, confusing it with cystitis. Pathologies have different symptoms of cystitis woman experiences pain during urination from beginning to end, while at urethritis discomfort felt only when the urine discharge from the urethra, i.e. at the beginning of urination. However, these diseases appear frequently occur at one and the same time.
Causes of inflammation
In women, urethritis can occur for several reasons:
- Acute and chronic diseases of the genital organs.
- General and local hypothermia, which resulted in the active reproduction of conditionally pathogenic bacteria reaches the epithelium covering the urethra.
- Diseases that are transmitted from person to person through sexual contact.
- Stress.
- Mechanical injury of the urethra, a woman can get during gynecological procedures or following the withdrawal of kidney stones.

During treatment, the patient must adhere to milk-vegetable diet with abundant drinking completely give up alcohol, spicy, pickled and smoked foods. At this time it is better to temper their sex lives.
For treatment of urethritis in the chronic form asuse antibiotics - Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol. In addition, the patient diuretic medications to cleanse the urethra can be assigned. The duration of the treatment of acute urethritis is approximately 2 weeks, and the elimination of the chronic form of the disease can last for several months.

Menendez, Boehner Clash Over Hastert Rule for Immigration Reform
WASHINGTON – Sen. Bob Menendez expressed displeasure Tuesday over House Speaker John Boehner's decision to withhold consideration of any immigration reform measure that doesn't have the support of the majority of the Republican caucus.
Menendez (D-N.J.), a member of the Gang of Eight, a bipartisan group of upper-chamber lawmakers who have pieced together a delicate immigration compromise, questioned Boehner's seriousness about addressing the issue "if he is willing to put tea party politics ahead of the will of the American people."
"It is amazing and alarming that Speaker Boehner would allow a minority of House members – who will never, ever support immigration reform – to dictate the fate of bipartisan, comprehensive reform that an overwhelming majority of the American people want," Menendez said.
The decision, Menendez said, is "not in our national interest and it's certainly not about fixing our broken immigration system."
Earlier Tuesday, Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters that he could not envision a scenario where he would permit debate over immigration reform if most members of the Republican majority in the House didn't offer their support.
Boehner said the only time he will consider bringing an issue to the floor without the support of his caucus is "when there is zero leverage." That has occurred during his tenure in the chair on occasion – most recently when the lower chamber voted on Hurricane Sandy relief – but only when "we faced a worse alternative, politically or in terms of policy."
That is not the case in this instant, Boehner said, so he is obliged to implement what is popularly known as the Hastert rule, named after former House Speaker Denny Hastert, an Illinois Republican who took great pains to satisfy his caucus.
"We have plenty of leverage," Boehner said. "And I have no intention of putting a bill on the floor that will violate the principles of our majority and divide our conference. One of our principles is border security. I have no intention of putting a bill on the floor that the people in this room do not believe secures our borders. It's not going to happen."
Boehner to this point has been coy about how he intended to address immigration reform, which is making its way through the Senate with a vote slated before July 4. But he has been under pressure from GOP lawmakers, particularly those with a conservative bent, to take a stand.

Ready, Set, Go: Run to Steve & Barry's As Soon As Possible
I walked into a gold mine this weekend at Steve & Barry's unexpectedly. The entire store was on sale for only $8.98! I still can't believe it! What a deal. I, of course, took full advantage of all of the Bitten line, which was the first time I had ever seen the line and it was AMAZING! I was so excited! There are actually other items than what is online right now, but it is worth checking out the nearest store regardless because even if the sale isn't happening, everything is guaranteed to be less than $20. Plus, what an easy and inexpensive Christmas gift! How could someone not be happy to get a SJP item?!

Rogers Insurance offers a wide variety of business insurance products. We believe every business is different. That's why we work with nearly 100 commercial insurance companies to provide competitive business insurance quotes and a variety of insurance products to fit your individual business.
Commercial Property Insurance
This standard commercial business insurance is essential for all companies, regardless of industry or size. Commercial property insurance protects your business' physical assets including owned buildings, inventory, equipment, and other contents. Commonly covered perils include theft, fire, explosion, and storms. Flood and earthquake coverage are also usually available as add-on coverage. For example, if a fire started and burnt down your retail store, your commercial property insurance would cover the replacement of your store's contents as well as the rebuild of the building (if it was owned by your business).
Commercial General Liability Insurance
Commercial general liability (CGL) insurance is another type of standard commercial business insurance coverage that offers coverage in the event your company is held liable for a third party's injury or property damage. It can cover legal expenses in the event you are sued. For example, if someone walks into your store, slips, and breaks their wrist, they could sue your business. This policy could help cover your defence costs, as well as settlements and awards up to your policy limit.
will offer protection to a business for all bodily injuries and personal injuries that befall on commercial property, as well as property damage caused by business operations or manufactured products. Commercial General Liability coverage is generally considered to be comprehensive business insurance but it will not cover every hazard a business may be exposed to.
Professional Liability Insurance
If your business offers a professional service or advice, you could be sued if a client believes they've suffered financial loss as a result of your service or advice or failure to provide it. Professional liability insurance, also known as errors and omissions insurance can cover your legal expenses.
Directors & Officers Liability Insurance
Also known as D&O insurance, this commercial insurance coverage protects director and officer title-holders. In the event legal action is taken due to supposed wrongful acts in an individual's director or officer role. For example, legal action could be taken if a director mixes personal and business financial assets or breached their duties to shareholders.
Product Liability Insurance
If your company produces a product that is faulty or causes injury or property damage, you could be held accountable. Product liability insurance covers legal expenses in the event you're sued for such a situation.
Cyber Liability Insurance
Digital communication and record-keeping have made all businesses reliant on technology and at risk for a cyberattack or data breach. Cyber liability insurance is an essential part of business insurance. This coverage provides financial support in the event your company is the victim of a data breach or cyber-attack.
Home-Based Business Insurance
Did you know that home insurance won't cover any property damage or liability risk for your home-based business? Luckily, our expert business insurance brokers have solutions for you. We offer affordable home-based business insurance coverage that will cover your company's property and liability.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance
If you use a vehicle for work purposes other than commuting or have a vehicle registered in the name of your business, you need commercial vehicle insurance. If you have more than 4 vehicles, you're also eligible for fleet insurance. Our commercial insurance brokers can help you determine your auto insurance needs.
Business Interruption Insurance
If your company is forced to stop operating due to a mandatory evacuation or insured event, the loss of income can be devastating. Business interruption insurance, also known as income interruption insurance, covers lost income during this period. This allows you to pay your bills and employees and giving your business time to recover. Some policies also provide funds for temporary relocation to get your company up and running faster.
Equipment Breakdown Insurance
If your company has equipment necessary for its operation, equipment breakdown insurance is a must. This coverage will help businesses with the costs of replacement or repairs for the equipment or property that is damaged in an insured claim.
Group Benefits
Group life and health benefits are essential to successful businesses. At Rogers Insurance, we work with virtually every major group benefits carrier and can help your company build a tailored coverage plan including health, dental, drug, life, and disability coverage.
Of course, these are only just a few of the commercial insurance coverages available. We offer specialized coverage based on industry or even the individual business. The experienced Rogers Insurance commercial insurance broker team can help you determine what coverage your business needs.
How much does Business Insurance Cost?
When shopping for business insurance, you may be tempted to go for the cheapest policy. However, it's important to balance price with quality of coverage. Inadequate protection isn't worth the price.

NI students go global with international work placements
They've been selected for British Council's IAESTE (International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience) programme, an exchange initiative which sees students from science, engineering, technology or applied arts subjects undertake paid industry placements in one of 80 countries.
Hailing from both Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University, the students will find themselves in countries including Ghana, Brazil and Macedonia working in fields such as medicine, engineering and computer science.
It is hoped that the skills they gain through IAESTE will significantly contribute to their future employment prospects when they return to Northern Ireland.
Sam McCalmont, (23), an Engineering student at Queen's University Belfast originally from Cookstown will spend his summer working for car manufacturer, Volvo, in Sweden.
I'm looking forward to the summer as I have never been to the Nordics, and I am excited to explore a country while I work. Chemical Engineering is such a global degree, and you will never solely work with one culture. I hope IAESTE will help me to generate new ideas, develop my problem-solving skills and push myself further.
About IAESTE
IAESTE runs in more than 80 member countries, with over 4000 traineeships exchanged each year, and is managed by British Council Northern Ireland on behalf of the Department for the Economy.
IAESTE works on a reciprocal basis, therefore for every placement offered to local students; international students are welcomed to Northern Ireland. This year, 30 international students will spend their summer in Northern Ireland working with firms including civil engineering company, Taylor and Boyd; Co Antrim computer software firm Plotbox; and Smiley Monroe, the conveyor belt manufacturers.
The British Council recognises the economic benefits of developing stronger relationships and links between Northern Ireland and other countries. Through mobility programmes such as IAESTE, local employers and universities can benefit from the experience of high calibre international trainees and set the foundations for future partnerships, links and networks.

The Manufacturing Contract is a document that records an agreement between the product developer and the product manufacturer. It allows for the establishment of a service contract between the two aforementioned parties.
The Manufacturing Contract is an important document used by a product developer when his product is ready to be marketed and he requires a manufacturer for the process. The same agreement is also used by a manufacturer who seeks a service contract for a manufacturing job.
To ease your worries, we put together a Manufacturing Contract sub-template that declares and identifies details like the purpose of the contract, the item(s) to be manufactured, and product standards.
The document is ready-for-use and easy to understand. It is customizable and grants you full access to the modification of the text. You can fill in your own product specifications, inventory details, etc. The document downloads are available in various formats. Please note that the text of the sub-template has been examined and revised by a verified attorney.

Marcel sent me a link to Carl Bernstein's piece in Vanity Fair, "Senate Hearings on Bush, Now" and this part really stands out for me:
As much as I love Colin Powell (he was my only hope for the Bush administration), I agree. The man doesn't get a pass on this, especially now that he's retired.
Side note: Marcel and I were talking a few days ago about how all these retired generals are now coming forward and speaking out against secretary of state Donald Rumsfeld. Many people are wondering why they didn't speak out at the time that they had their misgivings, because then maybe we wouldn't be stuck in the quagmire (yes I said it!) that is the Iraq war. I'll admit that I was thinking that this was "too little too late" myself, but then Marcel pointed out that according to the code of military conduct, an officer at that level would be expressly prohibited from speaking out against their civilian bosses (as Rumsfeld is). I guess the officer could still chose to do so, but these men had decades of service under their belts and I really can't blame them for not wanting to throw their careers in the toilet based on a bad feeling about what might happen in the future.
So yes, Colin Powell needs to be made to answer for what he saw, and heard (as long as it's not classified, of course), and why he made the choices that he made. And maybe I'm still biased because of my affection for the man, but I suspect that Colin Powell won't have any problem defending his honor. I don't think the political "dodge and weave" is something he's capable of doing.
Quite the understatement there, Bernstein. But truer words were never spoken. It'll be a kick in the pants if the leaks are what finally bring Bush down, rather than his general record of bone-chilling incompetence.
True, dat.
There's also an interesting analysis of the Bush presidency in Rolling Stone, "The Worst President in History?" I'm thinking that's a rhetorical question.

Christmas sucks. I'm sorry. It's just so unbelievably hard. I love my tree, though. It's so breathtaking. Every time I look at it I am reminded that Ty wouldn't allow us to forget about Christmas. He picked this tree for us when we reluctantly visited the tree farm and half-heartedly cut down any old tree. It is simply magical how perfect it is. It's the biggest and best tree I have ever had in my entire life and as much as I wish Ty was here to see it, I also know with every ounce of my being that it is him who saw it first and chose it for us. "Chrimpy" (that's how he said "Christmas") was Ty's favorite thing of all. Here is a really, really short video from last Christmas eve when Papa dressed up like Santa. Please look at Ty's initial reaction when he saw Santa. It is amazing. Priceless. Beautiful. I want it back. This tiny video clip leaves me wanting so much more. I want to jump right into it and be holding Ty again. I could rewind that 1.5 seconds and watch it over and over and over again.
The hardest ornament to hang on the tree this year was the one of Goofy that we bought at Disney during Ty's Make A Wish trip in 2010. We were told he had six weeks to live, it was December and I asked him to pick out a special ornament for the tree so I could remember that moment always. Then we hung it together again in 2011! It was a real miracle that he was with us again last Christmas. When I packed it up last year I put it in the box with the utmost certainty that he would be with us to hang that ornament every year after, too. I never had any doubt. When I pulled that ornament out this year I practically fell to the floor with grief. I cry and I wish with all my heart and soul that his miracle could have been 100%. Why couldn't he continue to teach everything all of the beautiful things he is teaching us and still be alive! Still bring us all a "smile of the day" every day? I'll never understand but I do try to remind myself of the bigger "life" that waits for me beyond this one, and it helps me to cope.
I also know this. Losing Ty is the greatest test of faith imaginable. It would certainly be easy to believe in God and believe in miracles if Ty did jump off that couch and land on two feet. If he survived cancer and debilitating brainstem trauma and went on to play college football. It would have been downright impossible to doubt God's existence after witnessing something that big. So maybe Ty's story is instead intended to help us find faith in the darkest of times and rely on that invisible truth to show us that there is so much more than the skin we live in. Our Christmas card last year read "Believe in Miracles" and I still do. Even more now. Because I believe that Ty is with still with me and that the time I had with him will always be my greatest gift, my miracle. PS - I won't be sending Christmas cards this year, but I hope you all know that I wish you happiness.

Slowly but surely, Childhood Cancer Awareness is getting bigger and bigger. Thanks to all of YOU! The town of Pawling has allowed for a Gold Christmas tree to be put on display in the heart of town to honor two of our children who battled cancer. Ty and Ryan McElroy. Ryan was just days shy of his fifth birthday when he journeyed on from this life in 1998. There is a statue of Ryan in town that we walked by just the other day and for the first time Gavin stopped to ask me who that boy was. I told him "that's a little boy named Ryan and he is just like Ty. He had cancer, too, and now he plays with Ty in heaven. I bet they have a lot of fun together, don't you?" "Yes," answered Gavin, "but Ty is my best friend because he is my brother." Breaks my heart.
Here is a picture of the beautiful tree! Thank you, Melissa Divitto, for making this happen. It is such an honor. We were in town tonight for the lighting of the big tree and our beautiful gold tree for childhood cancer awareness was SHINING BRIGHT!!
Tomorrow, the kind and beautiful Anthony Family will be opening the doors to their restaurant in Mahopac (151 Grill) for a TLC Foundation fundraiser. If you are local, information about the event is posted here on Facebook. We hope to see you there! Then, next Saturday there will be a Zumba fundraiser event at the VFW in Carmel. Information about the Zumba event is also posted to Facebook.
Today I had another radio interview - this time with Bloomberg radio. It will air in a couple of weeks and I will be sure to share a link.
We had a tremendous response to the Muddy Puddles Project. THANK YOU! For all those who emailed with interest in volunteering - you WILL be hearing from me soon :) Thank you for sending me all of your muddy puddle stories! Please keep them coming and tell your friends to do so, too. Anything you can share about your children celebrating their childhood in honor of Ty would be wonderful. And don't forget pictures! Thank you all so much. Your love and support is just incredible. This is going to be BIG!! All of these amazing things happening, this is what keeps me going. Thank you all so much.
Before signing off for the weekend - a fun photo of Gavin. He goes everywhere like this - as some of you witnessed in town tonight! Goodnight. XOXO.

This is the eleventh annual publication of the Global Hunger Index (GHI), a report jointly published by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Concern Worldwide, and Welthungerhilfe (WHH).
The GHI series of reports tracks the state of hunger – worldwide and country by country – and spotlights those regions and countries where action to address hunger is most urgently needed.
This year's report shows that the level of hunger in the developing world has declined by 29 percent since 2000. Despite this progress, the level of hunger globally remains distressingly high, with 795 million people still facing hunger, roughly one in four children affected by stunting, and eight percent of children affected by wasting.
In this year's essay, the UN's David Nabarro discusses the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and how we can achieve its core objective: to overcome poverty and hunger and reach those who have been left behind.
A lasting end to hunger and undernutrition cannot be achieved in isolation, he argues. We must also address the underlying structural causes of hunger, including the impact of climate change, particularly on the poorest.
We must also identify the regions, countries, and populations that are most vulnerable to hunger and undernutrition so that progress can be accelerated there. This is where the Global Hunger Index has a massive role to play.
This year's case studies highlight the work of Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe as part of efforts towards achieving zero hunger in three very different countries: India, Malawi and Burundi. They focus on the complex challenges faced and the progress made so far, and demonstrate how lessons are being learned along the way.

Increases in population demands new developments. New developments create more run off water. More run off water creates higher velocity flows in our drainage channels, creeks, streams and rivers. Those higher velocities create erosion issues. To prevent and/or mitigate those issues we put hard armaments and channel lining on those side slopes and bottoms.

A big move can be a stressful activity, especially since there is a lot of address-changing paperwork involved, it requires much organization and planning, and the day itself in all its heavy-object moving and packing and unpacking.
Fret not, what seems like an insurmountable task can be managed very easily if you have enough organization and resources. Here are a few essential tricks to organizing and packing everything before a big move:
1. Get rid of all non-essential items
The first step you should take is to remove all non-essential items from your house. If you aren't sure what this entails, just imagine getting rid of everything that you really don't plan to bring with you to your new house. A large-scale clean-up is necessary to find out which objects need to be tossed out, which ones can be donated, and how you can make a few extra bucks if you plan to organize a pre-move yard sale.
Get rid of junk items immediately, putting them into garbage bags and recycling bins. You can donate things like old clothes, furniture, books, etc. to local organizations or even give them to friends and family that could use something like an end table that you don't need anymore. Any other items that can't be donated and have too much use to be thrown out can be sold at a yard sale. The extra bucks you make at the yard sale could help cover some of the moving costs, so it's a winning strategy all around.
2. Get a hold of moving boxes and moving supplies
One of the more frustrating parts of moving is trying to secure all of the boxes you need before the big move – and hopefully at a lower price. A few places you can grab a few free boxes includes: liquor stores, grocery stores, boxes from electronic products you've purchased lately, and hardware stores. Not only should you be collecting all of the boxes you need before the big move, but you should also have all of the supplies.
3. Organize all items into specific categories
Before the big day, one of the most important things for you to do is to pack everything into boxes ahead of time. This will come as a great relief to friends who are helping you move (and might even be a requirement before they help you out – sometimes people bail out when they see that nothing is packed up) and it makes the process so much faster and easier, even when you're going with a moving company. It's also important to label everything to keep all furniture organized and make the unpacking process easier.
4. Look into professional moving companies
Research professional movers and moving companies well ahead of time before moving. Make sure to look into customer reviews and make sure that they don't report experiences of broken furniture or objects and that people don't complain of lost items. It's important to find the best company for one of the most important days of your life.

Muslim amazon workers have said that they usually don't get enough times so that they can pray on regular shifts. The workers in Minneapolis have gone through a protest so that they could fight for their rights and they say that they being practicing muslims need to pray five times a day but because of the strict time schedules of the warehouse, the workers aren't able to offer their prayers on time.
The workers at the amazon warehouse are supposed to pack almost 240-400 boxes per hour on every 15 seconds and according to their statements, if they somehow fail to meet their target of packing the boxes, they would directly be fired. The workers at amazon warehouse are granted with 2 breaks, one is of 15 minutes while the other one is 30 minutes and these breaks are given after each shift.
A lot of workers have given their statements that how it feels like to work in a warehouse for them. The muslims who are been working in Minneapolis for Amazon said that they are being in a fear that they would be fired from the distribution center after they take break to pray in their work timings. All the workers at the amazon warehouse are required to meet the packing quotas of atleast 240 boxes per hour but their performance of being good muslims is getting affected from their tough routine of jobs because being muslims they are required to pray five times a day. But amazon has refused the claims of its workers by saying that they have been given paid prayer breaks of less than 20 minutes but they would be allowed to take the unpaid breaks if they want for longer time spans.
The company had given a statement in which it said that the expectations from the employees regarding their productivity would be adjusted if the employees by themselves wanted to take some unpaid breaks. The company said that it works day and night to make sure that its employees are being treated with respect and dignity and they could the fair treatment. A group of workers from Amazon protested on Friday so that they could demand better working conditions from their executives. They during their protest were waving the placards and they said that the employees were having their body wearing out because they had got increased stress from the raising productivity demands.

Red Mountain is located near the town of Rossland in British Columbia. It's only a few kilometres from the US border and state of Washington. There's no town at the base of Red Mountain, just a bunch of condos. The closest town is the town of Rossland. It's about a 5 - 10 minute drive (3km) to get to the mountain. There is no staff bus up to the hill, so it can be handy to have a car. Otherwise, everyone hitches up to the hill. Red is great because everyone gets to know each other, and you get into a real community. The community is all about the riding, not about the look.
Has it got enough good terrain to last a seasonÂ
Red Mountain is a bit hick, and it's a little bit rickety. Some of the chairlifts could do with an upgrade. But that's the point of Red Mountain. It's all about the riding, and it's got some great riding to do.
There isn't the big open alpine areas here and if you're looking for greens and blues, then you're better off elsewhere. There are some gnarli steeps out the back and there is definitely enough terrain here to last the season. There's great backcountry and on a powder day you'll definitely find fresh lines all day. There's some great backcountry off Mt. Roberts.
On a powder day, you'll end up just lapping the Motherlode chair, the main chair up the hill. Another great thing about Red is that there aren't big long traverses to get out once you've ridden down to get back to the main chair, unlike places like Revelstoke and Fernie.
There are basically no crowds at Red, which means more fresh tracks.

COVID-19 response
Licensed child care facilities are closed to the general public at this time. Select licensed child care centres have reopened to provide child care for essential service workers. Home-based child care with 6 or fewer children (not including the caregiver's own children) can continue operating as long as safety measures are in place.
Learn more about child care during COVID-19.
For regular updates and the latest information on child care in Alberta in response to COVID-19, visit COVID-19 info for Albertans.
Accreditation promotes excellence in child care settings in Alberta and helps families choose the best care for their children. It is based on standards of excellence that reflect current research and leading practices to provide high quality child care over and above licensing regulations for children from birth to 12 years of age.
Alberta Child Care Accreditation is available to:
- licensed daycare centres
- licensed out-of-school care programs
- approved family day home agencies
Enrolling is voluntary, but recommended.
Accreditation process is administered by the Association for Accreditation of Early Learning and Care Services (AELCS).
Accredited programs:
- have committed to meet the accreditation standards at all times
- continue to work on quality improvement in accordance with the strategies set in their Quality Enhancement Plan
- undergo annual reviews through submission of evidence to the accreditation agency
- are subject to unannounced status verification visits
As of March 31, 2020, the Alberta Child Care Accreditation program, standards and process will be discontinued.
Accreditation standards
Accreditation standards were developed by the Alberta government in consultation with the child care field. The standards focus on outcomes for children, families, staff and community to support children's optimal early learning and development.
For more information, read the standards:
- Alberta Child Care Accreditation Standards (English)
- Alberta Child Care Accreditation Standards (French)
Evaluation process
The Alberta Child Care Accreditation Evaluation and Scoring Framework sets out the evaluation process and tools that are used by the accrediting agency during on-site assessments and to determine a program's accreditation status as result of this assessment.
How to become accredited
Step 1. Apply for accreditation
Apply to AELCS and you will get access to accreditation tools and other related materials.
Step 2. Self-evaluation and quality enhancement
You must do a self-evaluation of your child care program. During this process, you will:
- assess your child care program's service quality
- develop a quality enhancement plan
- set short-term, intermediate and long-term goals and timelines
- collect evidence to demonstrate during an on-site assessment (site visit) how the accreditation standards are being met
This step usually takes about 10 to 15 months to complete.
Step 3. Site visit
When the self-evaluation process is complete, you must request an on-site assessment (site visit). The accrediting agency or AELCS will conduct an on-site assessment to:
- collect evidence
- interview staff
- complete observations
With the data collected, the accrediting agency will determine if your program has met the accreditation standards.
If successful, your program will be issued an accreditation certificate that is valid for up to 3 years.
After becoming accredited
Accredited programs must have a re-accreditation site visit every 3 years and must submit an annual report to the accrediting agency explaining how the program has implemented its quality enhancement plan.
Accreditation coaching support
Support may be available at no cost to your program if you are preparing for your initial accreditation site visit or re-accreditation process.
The Alberta Resource Centre for Quality Enhancement (ARCQE) is a contracted agency that:
- helps programs achieve best practices in early learning and care
- helps child care programs during the accreditation evaluation process
To help child care programs provide higher quality services and meet accreditation standards, ARCQE offers resources such as:
- workshops
- in-service training opportunities
- policy templates
- resource materials
- information on child development and best practices
For more details, contact ARCQE.
Accreditation funding
Programs enrolled in accreditation can apply for funding to support the recruitment and retention of qualified staff. This funding includes:
- staff wage top-ups (up to $6.62/hour)
- professional development grants (up to $1,000 per staff member, annually)
- staff attraction recruitment and retention initiatives (up to $5,000)
For more information, see Accreditation funding for child care programs.
Connect with the Association for Accreditation of Early Learning and Care Services (AELCS) for questions about child care accreditation and processes.

New book on Europeanisation, good governance and corruption
On 24 October, SUITS celebrated the release of a book by Digdem Soyaltin, former SUITS postdoctoral researcher.
The book launch for 'Europeanisation, Good Governance and Corruption in the Public Sector: The Case of Turkey' took the form of a lively conversation among SUITS faculty and researchers. Digdem Soyaltin did part of her research for the monograph while she was a postdoctoral researcher at SUITS (2014-15) and as an assistant professor at Altınbaş University. The book examines Turkey's fight against corruption and how external actors like the EU might make an impact.
No rivals in English
The book has been praised by academics including Sabri Sayari, Emeritus Professor at Sabanci University in Istanbul: "Soyaltin effectively and authoritatively analyses a major problem in contemporary Turkish politics. The book represents a valuable contribution to the literature on external promotion of anti-corruption policies for good governance.... This important volume has no rivals in English."

text: It can be difficult for people to understand why a married couple who has been married for 20, 30 or even 40 years has chosen to divorce. One reason it can be hard to comprehend this decision is because it was once a relatively rare occurrence for older Americans to make. However, the flood gates of gray divorce have been knocked down in recent years. Since 1990, the divorce rate for couples over 50 have doubled.
