text: In 2005, Linus Torvalds created something, which completely changed the way developers work today. As one of the creators of Linux kernel and a great contributor to the open source community, he is responsible for one more thing: He created Git. Git is a version control system for software development. Today, developers can't imagine writing even one line of code without Git. And when you look at it closely, you'll find out why you should give it a try. But first let me tell you a story about me and Git, and how we met each other.

The echoes of awarding Timişoara the title of European Capital of Culture in 2021 have not yet ceased, echoes that, with regret, we find some of them have already turned into polemics. Why Timisoara, why not Cluj or Bucharest? We will not enter any endless discussion on this topic, we will not be lamenting that the online tourism profile and hotels – HORECA – have silenced the information of the moment.
We will only say that for us, at Hotel Savoy in Timisoara, the title is an incentive. It is not a prize but an impulse to become a better, more attractive, more European hotel, if we are allowed to say so. Being part of the European elite and hosting the elites that will visit us is a pride!
The meaning of the title
The annual designation of a European city to become the cultural pole of the continent began in 1985. European officials believe that this title is more mute than honor, giving it an impetus to economic development, as it results from the first more lucid reactions the press and those involved. The European Capital of Culture title was awarded on the basis of a dossier and following a competition, not based on political games. "It's a title for a lifetime and not for a year," as Steve Green, the president of the jury who made Timisoara the European capital.
Timisoara will open (hopefully) enough investment opportunities and the hotel industry will prosper. We are convinced that all the accommodation areas in the city will be prized, and in every hotel will be a desire for self-service, displaying its services. Every hotel in the city will contribute, we are sure of this, to the future tourist outlook of the city.
We also believe that the construction of the bypass belt in the southern part of Timisoara will be called into question. It seems that the authorities want to force the government in this direction, and the local government has already prepared another type of request, of course we are talking about street protests. The city belt will develop both existing and future investments, including tourism and hotels.
A first effect: tourism development
Timisoara hotel managers, as well as decision-makers from the local government, will benefit from the experience of Sibiu after it was designated as the European capital of culture in 2007. Since then, tourism has become the main source of income for the Siberians. The hotel tax brought over two million lei to the administration in Sibiu in the year 2012.
The hotel tax is, however, only a small part of the funds a city can attract from Timişoara, a city with many hotels and accommodation of a whole different size compared to the Transylvanian town. Other investments are expected, and a first figure that is already advanced for the 20121 preparation is 50 million euros. But we are convinced that it will be easily overcome, not so much from the budget, but especially from the private sphere.
As it is well known, Sibiu and the adjacent area has prospered significantly after 2007, the only worse year being some of the big financial crises, in 2008. But afterwards, the city has been growing more and more solid year after year. Timisoara, for its tourism and business potential, we do not doubt that it will cope well with the effects of its designation as a European capital will be much more important.

We've spent a century travelling the globe, building face to face relationships and perfecting the arts of blending and roasting. It's a step many companies don't take, and this face to face way of working means we can give you access to the top 1 per cent of the world's coffee – all freshly roasted at our home here in Yorkshire. For Taylors Discovery, that means access to the peak of the season's crop , or collaborations with these exceptional estates to create exclusive new coffees that nobody has ever tasted before . We're lucky enough to have more Q Graders than any other UK coffee roaster, and this range shows off the very best they can source
Our approach to sourcing is based on partnerships and mutual respect – as well as working with our growers to build long term contracts and improve the quality of their coffee, we reinvest part of our profits in community and environmental projects that make a difference to their lives.
Investing in the people and places where our tea and coffee is grown is part of our commitment to a supply chain that empowers producer communities and helps us secure a sustainable supply of quality tea and coffee.
Just as we work in partnership with our suppliers to tackle social and environmental issues, we join forces with like - minded organisations to make sure we have a lasting impact on the lives and landscapes we rely on. All of the coffee we buy comes from independently certified farms and co - operatives (Rainforest Alliance, UTZ or Fairtrade) and we' re proud to have been awarded a Queen's Award for Sustainable Development which recognises our commitment to creating a resilient supply chain.

Search our dictionary of 3,300 botanical and plant-related terms – the largest online.
Or browse the descriptions and definitions using the A-Z.
Means "relating to cows" in Latin.
A name for a cavity inside a cell cytoplasm. Plant cells often have a vacuole containing sap which is separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane called the "tonoplast".
Means "having a sheath" in Latin.
Means "well developed - strong" in Latin.
One of the parts into which a capsule splits.
Brightly coloured caterpillars feed on foliage causing considerable damage.
Means "variable" in Latin.
Having lighter (or coloured) areas or markings such as on a leaf or flower, due to genetic inheritance or mutation, or possibly due to infection. Variegated leaves for example are often green and white or yellow where some cells in the leaf tissue have less green chlorophyll pigment; such plants are usually less vigorous and do not tolerate shade so well.
Means "variegated" in Latin.
The botanical reference to a variety which is group of plants within a species with one or more distinctive characteristics.
A group of plants within a species with one or more distinctive characteristics, e.g. a marked colour variation, unusual leaf form etc. Varieties may have a distinct geographical range. There is a botanical convention on nomenclature that variety or subspecies or form names are in lower case if they are of natural origin, and printed with initial capital letters if they are human-made or cultivars. (Often the cultivar name is placed in quotes but in this package the cultivar names are not placed in quotes since they are distinguished by having initial capital letters.) Variety may be abbreviated to var.
A collective term for the xylem and phloem. Xylem is made up of vessels and fibres, which transport water and mineral nutrients around the plant. Phloem is composted of sieve cells or sieve tubes, which transport nutrients in a soluble form (including sugars). In less woody stems the xylem and phloem tissues are in strands called "vascular bundles".
Means "pot-shaped or pan-shaped" in Latin.
Refers to a mechanism of transfer of a disease; this may be via an insect such as a beetle which is the vector for the fungal disease known as Dutch Elm Disease.
General term that describes plants that provide edible parts which are not fruit. Examples are potatoes, carrots, cabbages, cauliflowers etc. However, plants such as tomatoes and marrows are often referred to as vegetables but are in fact fruits.
Propagation from a part of the plant, i.e. offsets, cuttings, division of roots, or layering of a stem, rather than by sowing seeds. The offspring from vegetative propagation are identical to the parent plant and are therefore 'clones'.
Means "vigorous growing" in Latin.
Strands of conducting and strengthening tissues running through the leaf, and other organs.
Covered with a velvety indumentum.
Means "velvety" in Latin.
Referring to the arrangement of veins.
Means "poisonous - venomous" in Latin.
In a greenhouse or other enclosed environment the circulation of air is important to maintain the optimal levels of temperature and humidity. Generally excess heat will cause wilting, and too cool a temperature will slow the rate of growth. Too high a humidity can lead to fungal disease problems. The use of adjustable vents and fans can be used to keep conditions within the desired range. (Correct ventilation is also important to avoid storage rot when harvested crops such as carrots, strawberries, apples etc are transported and stored.)
Referring to lateral organs; the side towards the main axis. The same as adaxial.
Refers to a plant organ that is swollen more on one side than the other.
Means "worm-like" in Latin.
An artificial plant growing medium manufactured from mica rock particles which have been heated at a high temperature. The expanded granules are very water absorbent yet free-draining and therefore it is often added as a soil conditioner to composts. Vermiculite can be used for a rooting medium. (Vermiculite is also used for house insulation.)
Meaning "appearing in the spring".
Methods to "fool" seeds into behaving as if they have been through a winter, in order to prepare them for germination when sufficient moisture, temperature and light are provided.
Refers to the arrangement of leaves in a bud, which can be a method of identification.
Means "of the spring" in Latin.
With a wart-like or nodular surface.
Arranged in a ring or whorl.
Means "whorled" in Latin.
This is a fungal disease that causes brown markings on the stems and the plants usually begin to wilt. The disease can infect a range of herbaceous plants and some shrubs and trees.
Means "true" in Latin.
Refers to a small cavity or bladder-like sac which may be filled with air or water.
Means "white" in Latin.
Refers to seed that is able to germinate.
Means "of the wayside" in Latin.
Leaves are eaten by adults and larvae of a beetle.
Upper leaf surface becomes sticky and black sooty moulds develop following a sap-feeding insect.
In mid-summer young leaves have flat, oval, yellowish scales. Black, sooty moulds may develop.
Means "neighbouring" in Latin.
Refers to the relative growing strength of a plant.
Means "shaggy with hairs" in Latin.
Having long, soft hairs.
Means "with slender shoots" in Latin.
Areas of grape vine leaves bulge, undersides of these areas are covered in a dense mat of white hairs.
A pest of roses, rhododendrons and other shrubs and fruits where the entire plant may wilts without visible explanation. It is caused by beetle-like insects attacking the root system.
Means "wine-producing" in Latin.
Leaves become thickened and rolled where maggots cocoon themselves.
Disease affecting carrot where the roots become felted with purple mould, many plants are killed.
Means "green" in Latin.
Refers to the appearance of green chlorophyll pigmentation in plant organs that would not normally be green.
Means "twiggy" in Latin.
Means "pure white - virginal" in Latin.
Means "green" in Latin.
Means "poisonous" in Latin.
Single-celled, sub-microscopic organisms that reproduce themselves inside the living cells of a plant or animal. Infection by viruses can cause a wide range of diseases often showing symptoms of blotching or mottling of the leaves and flowers. Viruses can be transmitted by vectors such as sap-sucking insects, by vegetative propagation or possibly by careless use of secateurs. Growers often propagate susceptible plants from virus-free stock. Infected plants are generally dealt with by lifting and burning.
Means "clammy" in Latin.
Meaning "sticky".
Means "sticky - viscous" in Latin.
These are organic compounds required in relatively small amounts for the proper functioning of the organism. Most plants are able to synthesize all the vitamins they require, although some vitamins may be gained from the symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi at the roots. Humans and other animals cannot generally synthesize all the vitamins they need, and therefore need to get essential vitamins in their diet, usually from plants. Vitamin C for example can be obtained from fresh citrus fruit and other plants.
This is the cultivation of vines.
Means "vine-leaved" in Latin.
Means "glassy" in Latin.
Sprouting and germinating on the parent plant, such as in Tolmiea menziesii (Mother of thousands) where plantlets are produced on mature leaves.
The small rodents gnaw away the bark on the stems and roots, causing a dieback.
Means "twining" in Latin.
Means "common" in Latin.
Means "healing" in Latin.
Means "foxy" in Latin.

The authentic Le Mans Rillettes have become a classic of friendly parties in the Pays de la Loire region. With a smooth texture similar to pâté or terrine, theRillette is widely eaten as a appetizer - spread on a crisp slice of French bread - or in sandwiches for snacking. The original recette de Rillette from Le Mans, based on pork meat, is one of the most traditional recipes in France.
Because of its creamy, smooth interior similar to pâté, the Rillettes used to be called "the poors'pate" in the Northern regions of France. The authentic recipe from Le Mans made out with larger pieces of pork provides rich and fine Rillettes with a rustic texture. In France, the Rillettes are generally enjoyed chilled, spread lightly on crackers or French crusty farmhouse bread. In baguette with gherkins or other pickles, Pork Rillettes make a perfect, delightful fast food!

This post is from Tony Lockett of the European Commission, and was originally posted at his European Union 2.0 blog.
Neelie Kroes sharing a coffee with Chris Conder
"We cannot achieve the Digital Agenda alone, and we cannot do it entirely using old procedures of consultation and legislation." (Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission)
Chris Conder is not a typical EU policy-maker or lobbyist. She is a farmer and local activist who campaigns for broadband internet access in her rural community in the north of England. But, earlier this year, Chris was invited to share her experiences with Commission Vice-President, Neelie Kroes. She also met with the EU's exclusive group of national "digital champions" which includes the likes of Martha Lane Fox from the UK.
Chris Conder's story is part of the broader online engagement strategy put in place to support the Digital Agenda for Europe (DAE). Together with Chris, 40 people were invited to Brussels because of the positive feedback they had received from other users the Digital Agenda Assembly online platform. In total, the platform has attracted over 2000 contributions from 1400 users. For many of them, this is the first time that they have had an opportunity of this kind to participate in EU policy-making.
In addition to the online platform set up for the Digital Agenda, the Commission has been reaching out to people via hundreds of third party forums and on social media, including Twitter (there have been 30,000 tweets about #da12 by 5000 people reaching a potential 5 million Twitter users).
It's maybe not surprising that the kind of "digital natives" who are interested in the Digital Agenda for Europe have adopted this interactive approach to policy-making with so much enthusiasm. But could it work for other areas of EU policy?
I put this question to David Osimo, who is working with the Commission on the DAE online engagement strategy. David is also involved in a fascinating research project about "Policy-making 2.0″ called Crossover. The project covers a wide range of issues including open discussions, crowdsourcing, open data, visualisation, gaming, modelling and simulation.
The research roadmap that David and his colleagues have produced shows how digital tools can potentially allow collaboration at all stages of the policy-making process (see graphic below). The roadmap, which is available in a commentable format, is well worth a read both for the analysis and the real life case studies.
David argues that policy-making 2.0 offers a "third way" between the limited scope for interaction in traditional policy-making and the "wild openness" of social media. The Digital Agenda for Europe provides an interesting example of how this can work in practice.

As part of EPA's investigation of a Superfund site, EPA typically issues a 104(e) information request to any person or entity that EPA believes to have information regarding release of hazardous substances at the site, including those that may be considered to be PRPs charged with the ultimate cleanup of the site. Responding to a 104(e) request often requires the recipient to provide detailed responses regarding historical and current industrial operations, and can often set the stage for settlement negotiations with EPA and other PRPs regarding funding the investigation and remediation of the Superfund site. In an unpublished non-precedential opinion filed yesterday, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that receipt of a 104(e) information request for a Superfund site triggers an insurer's duty to defend a policyholder for attorneys' fees and related costs associated with responding to the request.
In January 2008, Ash Grove Cement Company received a 104(e) information request regarding contamination at the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, a 12-mile sediment cleanup project along the Willamette River in Portland Oregon. Ash Grove tendered a claim to its insurance providers, seeking coverage for defense costs incurred in responding to EPA's information request. The insurers denied Ash Grove's claim on the basis that the insurance policies at issue limited coverage to "suits" related to "property damage," and that EPA's information request was neither a "suit" nor contained any allegations of "property damage" for which Ash Grove could be potentially liable.
Ash Grove filed a declaratory judgment action against its insurers, arguing that the insurers had a duty to defend under Oregon law that was triggered by Ash Grove's receipt of EPA's information request. After a bench trial, United States District Court Judge Hernandez of the District of Oregon ruled in Ash Grove's favor, and declared that the insurers were obligated to defend Ash Grove and reimburse its defense costs.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit affirmed Judge Hernandez's ruling, based primarily on a prior decision – Anderson Bros, Inc. v. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co., 729 F.3d 923 (9th Cir. 2013) – where Anderson Brothers, Inc., another recipient of an 104(e) request for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, filed a nearly identical declaratory judgment action for defense costs associated with responding to EPA's request. The Anderson Bros. case held that insurers had a duty to defend upon receipt of a 104(e) request, because such requests are the "functional equivalent" of a "suit" that requires legal defense. Furthermore, the general dictionary definition of a "suit" is not limited to a lawsuit in the strict sense, but rather includes "an attempt to gain and end by any legal process." The Ninth Circuit ruled that this general definition would encompass a 104(e) request, since it compels the recipient to provide information about releases of hazardous substances that could expose the recipient to liability, and because a response to the request may result in the recipient being identified as a PRP at a Superfund site. Also, Oregon's Environmental Cleanup Assistance Act declares that for the purposes of insurance coverage, a "suit" includes any instance where EPA in writing "directs, requests or agrees than an insured take action with respect to contamination."
While federal and state courts remain divided on whether receipt of a CERCLA 104(e) request constitutes a "suit" triggering an insurer's duty to defend, the Ninth Circuit's ruling represents another case in support of a growing majority view that receipt of a 104(e) request can be the "functional equivalent" of a lawsuit requiring the insurer to provide defense coverage.

The Adidas Originals, a sub-branch of Adidas, was introduced in 2001 that features shoes inspired from the high-performance kicks, revamped to fit the lifestyle scene. All the sneakers under the Adidas Originals use the Trefoil logo to pay homage to the heritage profiles from the 40s up to the 80s.
These sports-inspired casual sneakers are offered in a vast collection of colorways to suit diverse preferences of its followers, such as white, black, blue, red, gold, silver, green, yellow, orange, pink, brown, beige, and purple.
Aside from the colorways, Adidas Originals also uses a wide range of heritage profiles to re-introduce, re-interpret, and re-design for the modern market. These inspirations are from basketball, skate, running, training, hiking, football, and tennis silhouettes.
These Adidas shoes called Samoa was launched in 1977 and turned as one of the most popular training shoes for indoor football. This low-top kick showcases full-grain leather upper with suede overlays on the toe box for durability and style.
Although underrated, the Samoa silhouette has remained relevant over the years. The brand has launched various colorways and special editions and was used as inspiration to one of the popular kicks of the current market, the Adidas Iniki.
The Adidas Originals re-introduced the Adidas Samoa in August 2011, together with other iconic kicks such as Adidas Gazelle, Adidas Campus, and the Adidas Superstar. These sneakers were revamped to suit the modern athleisure trend.
The brand kept the clean yet bold aesthetics of Samoa in several colorways for that street-ready look. The Trefoil logo found on the tongue, and the metallic Samoa typescript on the side kept this model on top of the most iconic designs in the market.
Key features of the Adidas Samoa casual shoes:
Fast Facts:
Some Notable Colorways:
Staying authentic to the 70s and 80s vibe, the brand offers its Samoa silhouette in various bold and subtle hues.
Launched in 2016, the Vintage Samoa model of the classic Samoa comes with premium suede upper seated atop a cushy EVA midsole and the classic Samoa element, the toe bumper. Many wearers love the retro appeal of the Adidas Samoa Vintage that can be styled with any modern-day ensembles.
Fast Fact:
This modern version of classic Samoa displays 3D printed puff stripes throughout on its premium leather upper in striking colorways. This kick preserved all the iconic elements of Samoa, including the reinforced toe cap and the slim rubber sole.
This street-ready, low-top kick radiates youthful vibe without sacrificing the lightness and overall comfort. The German brand incorporated EVA-injected midsole with durable rubber outsole for soft strides and cozy ride.
Fast Facts:
This Leather edition of the Samoa silhouette displays the basic look of its ancestor but upgraded with the full-grain leather on its entire upper and its overlay on the toe box. The brand added a light padding on the collar and tongue and the mesh lining to enhance the comfort and breathability.
Fast Facts:
In 2016, Adidas revived Samoa into a luxurious version by wrapping the classic silhouette with pigskin with suede treatment conceiving these new Adidas Samoa shoes. Adidas Originals collaborated with Woodie White of the Oyster Holdings to come up with three unique tonal colorways of modernized Samoa.
In the fall of the same year, Adidas unveiled two follow-up colorways of the Adidas Samoa Vintage Pigskin as the brand's way to introduce alternatives to the popular street kicks staples found in the market.
Fast Facts:
Adidas has been a hustler in re-introducing their classic profiles by jamming it with newer technology. The classic football kick was upgraded into a high-performance kick in the mold of the Adidas Samoa Torsion Flex. The Samoa profile rides the Adidas Flex outsole for the rugged look while providing better comfort and support compared to the usual casual kicks.
The bulky, bright white sole provides maximized flexibility and more support. Meanwhile, the upper has been upgraded, too, with premium leather and modern details, such as the glossy 3-Stripe logo and the Samoa label on the side. To provide an adjustable fit, the brand used waxed round laces reinforced with the silver eyelets.
Fast Facts:
Here are our simple recommendations on how to clean your Adidas Samoa kicks:
The simple yet stylish design of the Adidas Samoa kicks makes this kick an excellent addition to one's sneaker rotation. The seamless fusion of various materials with timeless style gives its wearers the best of both style and comfort. Here are few of suggested ways on how to wear this sneaker:
The Adidas Samoa shoes can be bought in the official stores and online shops of the Adidas. Many Adidas' partner retailers also offer this iteration in their physical stores and on their websites. Such partner retailers are the Amazon, Eastbay, eBay, Zappos, End, Caliroot, Zalando, Finish Line, and many more.
Meanwhile, to give you an easy and pleasant online shopping experience, the RunRepeat team have collated reviews from countless websites about the Adidas Samoa. We have carefully ranked them according to their CoreScore, which may help you decide which Samoa iteration you will order. You may type 'Adidas Samoa' on our search bar or simply click this link.
The first Adidas Samoa was unveiled in 1977 as training sneakers for the football. It was reintroduced to the market by Adidas Originals in August 2011 as a casual lifestyle sneaker.
The Adidas Samoa was said, but not confirmed, named after the underdog football team called American Samoa National Football Team after losing against the Australian team during the qualifying games in FIFA. Although they lost, the Samoa team managed to finish the game with utmost pride.
Adidas usually add label their shoes that gives information about where that shoe was made from. You may check in under the tongue label and look for the 'Made in' information. Meanwhile, to cut down the overall expenses of the company, Adidas distributed its factories all over the world and repeatedly updates its list of suppliers and manufacturers. Most of the shoes of the Adidas are made in China, India, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Korea, and many more.
Most of the Adidas Samoa kicks runs true to size. For more specific details on the fit and sizing of the Adidas Samoa iterations, you might want to check each Samoa models published in our site.
The Adidas brand became a popular brand worldwide for its products that are stylishly incorporated with innovative technologies and unmatched durability. Therefore, the Adidas Samoa shoes are also considered durable, but its lifespan depends on how the wearers use their Samoa. If the shoes are worn only for streetwear and if properly maintained, this kick will surely last.
The Adidas Samoa is offered from $65 to $120. The most affordable model is the Adidas Samoa Vintage while the most expensive is the Adidas Samoa Vintage Pigskin.
Adidas has been using the Trefoil logo since 1972, just in time for the Olympic Game in Germany. This logo showcases three leaves that form a flower-like shape added with a noticeable 3-Stripe on the bottom half part.
The Trefoil logo was used by all Adidas products until 1997. The brand chose this logo as this symbolizes that its products are more significant and diverse while keeping all the heritage elements.
Today, the Trefoil logo is used by the Adidas Originals to pay homage to all the silhouettes from the archives of the Adidas that have been revamped to suit the modern market.

Even Jewel Can't Save It
Early in the show, Howard replayed Jewel's cover of 'Silver Nickels and Golden Dimes,' but Robin begged him to stop: "I've only heard one song worse than this in recent history. The one sung by Elisa Jordana when Tommy Mottola was here." Howard laughed admitting, "It's horrible. I mean, Jewel made it sound good."

Title: The Jews of India
Author: Dalia Ray
Published: 2016
Country Published: India
Publisher: Renaissance Publishers Pvt Ltd
The Jews of India, a microscopic marginal community among other communities settled in India, have become an important part of the Indian history. The Jews, who first landed in the port cities of India such as Cranganore and Cochin in the South, Surat in Gujarat, Konkan in Maharashtra and Calcutta in undivided Bengal in the 17th and 18th centuries respectively for the purpose of trade and commerce and to save themselves and their religion from the onslaught of the Muslims, were never very numerous. Yet they have left their distinct mark in the economic, commercial, socio- cultural history of India.
The Cochin Jews of Kerala, the Bene Israels of Gujarat and Maharashtra, particularly in Bombay and Poona and the Baghdadi Jews of Bombay and Calcutta, have left behind a rich heritage in the Indian cities where they settled. Though always a miniscule community compared to other marginal communities in India, the Indian Jewish Communities contributions to the economic and socio-cultural development as well as to the cultural panorama of the metropolises in Kerala, Bombay, Poona, Ahmedabad and Calcutta, were vast, remarkable and praiseworthy.
The socio-cultural, economic, religious and philanthropic activities of the Jews of India are reconstructed in this study with the help of both archival materials and contemporary sources. The focus of this study is on the contributions of the Jews in India and also highlights the question of Jewish identity in the historical and social aspects and shows how their identity is manifested and preserved by the Jews in their everyday life. This objective study has also dealt with two other recent Jewish communities, the Bene Menashe Jews of Manipur and Mizoram and the Bene Ephraim Jews of A

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when a baby is born with 47 instead of 46 chromosomes. This condition is first described in 1866 and named after its founder Dr John Langdon Down. The real cause of this condition was discovered in 1959, when Dr Jérôme Lejeune identified it as a condition that occurs when there is an extra chromosome 21, instead of normal two. Therefore, the condition became known as trisomy 21 (having three chromosomes instead of a pair). Down syndrome sometimes occurs as a whole trisomy 21, or as a result of genetic translocations. Whatever is the case, this condition is caused by the presence of an extra copy of genetic material, and it affects patients in many different ways. In most cases, these babies are born with mild to severe health problems, typical facial features, developmental delay and mental retardation.
Down syndrome statistics
Down syndrome affects about one per every 733 live births. Maternal age plays an important role in overall risks of having a baby with Down syndrome. The risk factors are increasing with age because older eggs have a greater risk of improper chromosome division. Therefore, women younger than 35 have 1/400 chances of conceiving a child with Down syndrome. By age of 45, the risk is 1/35. However, 80% of children with Down syndrome are born to women under the age of 35. This is a result of the overall fertility of younger women.
Down syndrome in the United States
The incidence of Down syndrome in the United States is not steady and the total number of cases has increased by 24.2% from 1979-1983 to 1999-2003. The lowest prevalence of Down syndrome at birth was found in Arkansas, with 9.7 births per 10,000 live births, while the Utah has the highest rates with 13.7 cases per 10,000 live births.
Again, the maternal age seems to play a significant role among all risk factors. A number of babies born with Down syndrome was found to be about five times higher among births to older mothers, than among births to younger ones. For example, older mothers delivered 38.6 affected babies per 10,000 live births, while younger mother delivered only 7.8 per 10,000.
It is estimated that about 83,000 children and adolescents living in the United States suffer from Down syndrome. The lowest prevalence is found among Non-Hispanic black race and ethnic groups, while the Hispanic individuals have the highest prevalence, followed by Non-Hispanic white individuals and all other races and ethnicities.

This weekend, downtown Columbus will get a heavy dose of the Japanese culture as Matsuricon comes to town.
The three-day anime convention, housed at the Hyatt Regency, has been going full-speed since 2006 and, this year, they look to continue their cultural celebration with appearances by big names in the community, including David Brehm (producer and animator of the Jimmy Neutron Movie), Johnny Yong Bosch (actor from the Power Rangers) and Stephanie Young (jazz ensemble vocalist and voice actor).
Matsuricon has and will likely always call Columbus home.
"As a city, it has a lot to offer to both in state and out of state attendees," says Jack West, the convention's public relations director. "Hyatt Regency has been nothing short of accommodating for us and our attendees since moving downtown in 2011. We hope to start a similar relationship with the Greater Columbus Convention Center when we start expanding for 2015."
Other facets of the city embrace the convention and its attendees with open arms.
"The local businesses and eateries, like the North Market and the Arena District, gives our attendees a multitude of food and entertainment options when they need a break from our event," West says. "Couple that with the airport close by and an easy destination for drivers, Columbus is like the best city to make Matsuricon its home."
Since the cons' conception, the event has undergone significant change, adding attendees and a message along the way.
"Our convention has dramatically changed over the last several years – not only in size, but scope and attention," West says. "Our cancer charity efforts are very well received by the members of the American Anime Industry and local businesses. We are also expecting anywhere from 5000-6000 unique people this year.

administrative threat
Petition to Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, Donald Trump, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Department of Justice, Department of Veterans Affairs, United States Department of Health and Human Services
Stop VA Bureaucrats from Retaliating Against Veterans
Stop VA Bureaucrats from Retaliating Against Veterans The primary reason VA bureaucrats and contractors are retaliating against veterans is because they have been unmasking administrative state despotism which is eroding our civil liberties and undermining the protective safeguards of our Constitution. There is a very disturbing reason many veterans are afraid to complain or comment negatively about the VA; veterans fear retaliation. Veterans intimately know what happens when they point out an error, a problem, something that needs improvement, a systems failure, and even malfeasance. Veterans are often discredited, their concerns minimized and gaslighted, and labeled a problem maker. The defenses of the bureaucrats rise fast and into an impenetrable bulwark that allows for the twisting of the "system" to be in the favor of the administrative army. Veterans who complain are sent on wild goose chases until they give up. Most veterans do not have the resources or capacity to fight the administrative state. A Veteran's congressional representatives do not even have the power to protect the veteran from the Beast the VA has become. The VA has taken on a life of it's own. Some VA bureaucrats even have the audacity to refer to the VA as the "Dragon." The Dragon has the power to giveth and taketh away. Some embolden power hungry VA bureaucrats and contractors have touted "federal regulations reign supreme" and usurped over the domain of the state. In the Federalist Papers No. 51, James Madison, the architect of the Constitution and our fourth president, wrote that the human tendency to accumulate power required a government with checks and balances "…to control the abuses of government." The administrative state describes a form of government that uses an extensive professional class to provide oversight over government, the economy and society. It stands in stark contrast to a representative democracy with limited powers and reach. The Administrative state violates the constitutional principle of separation of powers, threatens civil liberties including the right to due process, and undermines the ability of citizens to have a meaningful say in politics and public policy. The administrative state empowers a distinct knowledge class to make important political and policy decisions, largely unchecked and unsupervised, at the expense of citizens' voting power and the power of the legislature and the judiciary. The Department of Veterans Affairs has turned into a delusional system best described by the Czech playwright (and later state president) Vaclav Havel (Vaclav Havel or Living in Truth; Vladislav, Jan; 1987) wrote, while the communist regime was still in power: Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing. Individuals need not believe all these mystifications, but they must behave as though they did, or they must at least tolerate them in silence, or get along well with those who work with them. For this reason, however, they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it. For by this very fact, individuals confirm the system, fulfill the system, make the system, are the system. For the crust presented by the life of lies is made of strange stuff. As long as it seals off hermetically the entire society, it appears to be made of stone. But the moment someone breaks through in one place--a Solzhenitsyn--when a single person cries out, "The emperor is naked"--when a single person breaks the rules of the game, thus exposing it as a game [delusio!]--then the whole crust is exposed as a tissue on the point of tearing and disintegrating uncontrollably. Walter Wink (Engaging the Powers 1992; p. 98) wrote, "When anyone steps out of the system and tells the truth, lives the truth, that person enables everyone else to peer behind the curtain too. That person has shown everyone that it is possible to live within the truth, despite the repercussions. 'Living within the lie can constitute the system only if it is universal.' Anyone who steps out of line therefore 'denies it in principle and threatens it in its entirety....If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth.' That is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else. The VA "system" functions to service itself. In order to protect this delusional system and the stakeholders who are benefiting from it, anyone who allows the public to peer behind the curtain is silenced, which includes veterans, family members of veterans, and whistleblowers. p.99 [T]he Dragon's strategy is to eviscerate opposition by a sense of induced powerlessness. To accept its delusional assumptions is, in effect, to worship the Dragon, to hold its values as ultimate, to stake one's life on the permanence of its sway." "Who is like the Beast, and who can fight against it?" (Rev. 13:3-4) Obeisance to the Beast requires as its gesture a continuous shrug. "Who is like the Beast, and who can fight against it?" (shrug). "I just carried out my orders. If I hadn't done so, someone else would have" (shrug). "I don't enjoy the violence depicted in my company's films, but this is what the public wants" (shrug). "If I didn't fudge the numbers like my VA manager told me to, someone else would have done it." (shrug) "There is nothing I can do as one person to stop the system from hurting veterans." (shrug). "I didn't want to follow those orders that caused harm to veterans but I was afraid I was going to lose my job and I have a family to feed." (shrug). As R.D. Laing put it, "each person claims his own inessentiality." Veterans cannot do this alone. We need everyday heroes who have nothing to lose when confronting the "Dragon" and the Beast the VA has become to take action. It appears the Administrative State has become more powerful than our 3 branches of government; many agency officials are not held accountable for even blatant malfeasance. Let Congress and the President know you will not tolerate VA bureaucrats retaliating against veterans for any reason.

text: David Hart - January 31, 2014 What the Recently Approved 2014 Farm Bill Means for Hunters After nearly three years of partisan wrangling, the House Agriculture Committee came to an agreement on the 2014 Farm Bill on January 29. The agreement paves the way for the bill to sail through the Senate and be signed into law by President Barack Obama.The nearly $1 trillion dollar bill preserves a number of conservation programs that protect vital habitat for a variety of game and non-game species. Generally, it was a big win for hunters and other conservationists, according to Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership Director of Government Relations Steve Kline."The conservation community has been advocating for the conservation provisions in the Farm Bill for nearly three years. Getting past the House was the biggest hurdle," Kline said. "The best way to describe the final legislation is that everybody got something and nobody got everything, including the conservation community."CRP Takes A Hit The most noticeable loss was a $6 billion decrease in overall conservation funding from the 2008 Farm Bill. Also, acreage for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was capped at 24 million acres, down from a cap of 32 million acres. That's not necessarily bad, according to Delta Waterfowl Vice President of US policy John Devney. Current enrollment is less than 17 million acres. "We figured that was going to happen. Enrollment has been steadily declining over the past few years," he says. "It's still the largest and most beneficial conservation program in the Farm Bill, and it will remain a vital part of the conservation landscape."Kline agreed, adding that the new cap starts at 27.5 million acres this year and falls to 24 million in 2018.Also, new CRP provisions are a little more farmer-friendly than previous farm bills, giving landowners a stronger incentive to enroll. The provisions open 2 million acres of CRP land to grazing and allow emergency grazing and haying of other CRP ground without a penalty. Farmers can also opt out early in 2015 without a penalty."In some ways the cuts to CRP were sort of a sacrifice for the good of other conservation programs," Kline said. "The new CRP provisions are just a reflection of what's going on on the ground. I won't be surprised if enrollment increases as commodity prices fall." Wetlands SavedDevney said the most valuable and beneficial part of the conservation programs is the renewal of the conservation compliance program, known as "Swamp Busters."Every conservation organization lobbied hard for this provision. It prevents farmers from draining wetlands and requires farmers to leave highly erodible land intact in order to receive federal crop insurance. There was no conservation compliance requirement between 1996 and the 2014 Farm Bill. No one can say how many acres of wetlands were affected during that period, but a page on the Ducks Unlimited web site said as many as 3.3 million acres of wetlands and 14 million acres of highly erodible lands were at risk."The strengthening of the conservation compliance requirement is huge," Devney said. "Thirty-two percent of breeding duck pairs in the Prairie Potholes Region were saved through the conservation compliance based on studies conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Farmers can still drain wetlands, but they can not receive any federal assistance if they do. This compliance provision is huge."Native Grass ProtectedThe bill also included funding for the "Sod Saver" program, which is similar to Swamp Busters. It provides economic incentives to prevent farmers from plowing under critical native grasses.Although the conservation community was hoping this part of the Farm Bill would have protected native grasses nationwide, it limits Sod Saver provisions to the Prairie Pothole Region, as well as Iowa and Nebraska."That's where grasslands are most threatened," Texas Parks and Wildlife Farm Bill coordinator and National Bobwhite Conservation Initiative chairman-elect Chuck Kowaleski said. "It will benefit a variety of upland birds and grassland-dependant game and non-game wildlife and it comes at an extremely critical time."Programs CondensedThe new bill also consolidates many of the various habitat programs, ending the sometimes confusing alphabet soup of programs aimed at preserving and restoring essential habitat throughout the country. Twenty programs were condensed into thirteen.The popular Wetlands Preserve Program, for instance, will be combined with the Grassland Reserve Program and the Forestland Preserve Program into the Agricultural Conservation Easement (ACE) program. The move is designed to save money as well as streamline the enrollment process.The Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program has been rolled into the Environmental Quality Incentive Program, and 5 percent of EQIP funding must now go towards wildlife-specific projects. EQIP was allocated $1.35 billion in 2014 and $1.75 billion in 2018. An additional $25 million was allocated for Conservation Innovation Grants.More Access For HuntersAdditionally, the new Farm Bill restores funding for hunting access programs such as Kansas' popular Walk-In Hunting Area program, which leases private land for public hunting access. The federal program is known as the Voluntary Public Access-Habitat Incentive Program and has played a significant role in opening private land to public hunting throughout numerous western states.Kowaleski said the current bill allocates $40 million for VPA-HIP over the five-year life of the new bill. The previous Farm Bill allocated $50 million for public access, but that money was taken out after protests from some Congressmen, Kowaleski said.The 2014 Farm Bill still has to make it through the Senate before it can be signed into law by the president. Although the Washington Post ran an editorial calling for President Obama to veto the bill, Klein expects it to become law.The conservation provisions were the result of input and lobbying efforts by a variety of conservation groups, including Pheasants Forever, DU, Delta, NBCI and a host of other pro-hunting groups.

best mobile app developers Toronto
Are you looking to create an app that can revolutionize your business, and reach a larger customer base? Hiring the best mobile app developers for your business is crucial to ensure your app runs smoothly. At DIT Web Solutions, we will bring your dream app to life due to our years of experience and technical knowledge.
Do I need a mobile app for my business?
The usage of mobile phones around the world has doubled since 2012 and has now overtaken the PC market. An impressive 4.77 billion people use mobile phones, thanks to the ultra-fast innovation in smartphones. It's not just smartphones seeing rapid innovation, there are now mobile apps for pretty much anything, from ordering food to paying your utility bills quickly.
So, building a mobile app for your business is a vital component for reaching a more extensive customer base and engaging more with existing customers. Mobile apps simplify important transactions and make them far more interactive through the use of widgets and graphics. Most businesses have mobile apps that reflect the increasing digitization of our life, so you'll be leaving out a large chunk of customers if you don't have one.
There are plenty of great businesses out there, with incredible experience and skills that don't have the brand recognition they deserve because they are bad at digitizing their services. Also, you're likely to get ranked lower in search engine results if you don't have a mobile-friendly platform for your products and services. As a result, you can imagine how much business you're losing every day without an excellent mobile app.
Choosing an app developer
Building an app can sometimes be a tedious and time-consuming process, so you want to ensure that you hire only the best mobile app developers. Choose a developer that takes your vision seriously and communicates with you regularly to develop a robust specification or blueprint.
A good developer will not only help you build the app, but they will also provide regular maintenance. Bugs and errors are a huge deterrent for customers, so you want to ensure your app is running smoothly and safely.
I have a small business, so what's the point of a mobile app?
You might wonder if the cost and effort of a mobile app are any good for a small business. In fact, a mobile app is a perfect tool for a small business. Not only does it simplify transactions for you and your customers, but it's also a great advertising tool given the amount of time people spend on Google Play Stores and the Apple Store.
Think of it as being an investment that will help your business grow. If your app means that your business will be ranked higher in search engine results and more people will engage with it, it is the perfect strategy for growing your business and expanding your customer base.
If you're looking for the best mobile app developers for your app, DIT Web Solutions is ready to take on any challenge. We pride ourselves in transforming people's dream app into reality.best mobile app developers Toronto
