Education Department in Crosshairs of New Administration?View this article online at https://www.fedsmith.com/2016/11/13/education-department-in-crosshairs-of-new-administration/ and visit FedSmith.com to sign up for free news updates
With a new president bringing a different philosophy and agenda to Washington, what are the implications for the federal workforce? A hiring freeze and reducing the federal workforce through attrition is a focal point in the "Contract With America".
One agency likely to receive attention in the Trump administration is the Department of Education. It has a small agency with about 4,500 employees but has an annual budget of approximately $68 billion. The average salary of Education Department employees is $108,137.32 according to data in FedsDataCenter.com.
Will the Education Department Be Eliminated?
As a candidate, Donald Trump has not focused much attention on the agency or the topic of education. What he has said may cause some of the 4,500 employees to start sending out resumes.
For example, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked candidate Trump what he would do to cut spending if elected President. He said the Department of Education may be on the chopping block.
"But I may cut Department of Education. I believe Common Core is a very bad thing. I believe that we should be — you know, educating our children from Iowa, from New Hampshire, from South Carolina, from California, from New York. I think that it should be local education."
In his book Great Again: How to Fix Our Crippled America, Trump wrote: "A lot of people believe the Department of Education should just be eliminated. Get rid of it. If we don't eliminate it completely, we certainly need to cut its power and reach."
The president cannot eliminate the agency with an executive order or otherwise. It would take an act of Congress to do that. According to Harvard legal scholar Laurence Tribe:
"There is no constitutional obstacle to the enactment of such a law. With a Republican in the White House and a GOP-controlled House and Senate, Republicans will have their best chance yet to scrap or seriously cut back the size and budget for the agency.
In effect, it remains to be seen if a call for abolishing the agency will be resurrected. In looking at the overall goals of the incoming administration, abolishing the agency seems unlikely.
Restricting Reach of Agency Likely
It seems likely the reach of the agency will be restricted.
The common core curriculum has been directly mentioned by Trump on occasion and there is no doubt about his philosophy on this issue. Here is a copy of a "tweet" distributed by the candidate earlier this year:
I have been consistent in my opposition to Common Core. Get rid of Common Core— keep education local!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 11, 2016
Common Core has been a political lightning rod for some time but it is not a federal policy. It is a set of standards states have adopted for what students at each grade level should be able to do. Many states have adopted the standards, although there will likely be less pressure to have other states do so. States that have adopted the standards may go their own way in the future without pressure or policies from the Education Department.
Some Trump representatives have said a Trump administration would at least "downsize" the department to an organization that allocates funding. The department's Office for Civil Rights is likely to be a target within the agency. This is the organization overseeing Title IX enforcement. It has come under a political spotlight under the Obama administration.
As a candidate, Trump has also stated often the Education agency should not be in the student loan business.
A federal voucher program for school choice may reallocate funding. The topic may also make is less likely the agency will be eliminated.
"Political correctness" has also been mentioned during the campaign, usually in a very negative context. This philosophy will likely impact funding and a change of emphasis with the Education Department.
Selection of Secretary of Education Will Be Significant
President-elect Trump's philosophy on education has not received the same attention as other topics, such as immigration. Selection of the next secretary of education will provide better insight on the Education Department's role.
One strong candidate to become the next secretary of education is a former Education Department official, Williamson (Bill) Evers. He is a member of the Trump presidential transition team for education.
Evers was an advisor and an assistant U.S. Secretary of Education under President George W. Bush. He also was named by two California governors to serve on commissions for evaluating academic standards.
Evers is not a fan of the common core standard or "political correctness". Commenting on the curriculum for students in California, he observed the K-12 curriculum "is filled with present-minded paraphrases of the uplifting rhetoric of the Progressives of early 20th-century America."
He is critical of the trend as can be seen from comments such as, "Why is Progressivism portrayed only as compassion, love, and goo-goo reform? Where are the centralization, the Imperial Presidency, the cult of efficiency, and the rule of experts that are integral to progressivism?"
His views appear consistent with president-elect Trump's philosophy and statements on education. This may put Evers near the top of the list for this cabinet level job.
Federal employees will be working for a different cadre of leaders in the administration with a different philosophy than the current administration.
Some agencies will likely be on the upswing again (such as Department of Defense) while others will be subject to budget cuts or reallocation of money within the agency. The Department of Education is one that is likely to experience changes but unlikely to be abolished.

Right-wing Rallies Cancelled in California Following Dog Poop Protests
In protest against the San Francisco 'freedom rally,' dog owners organized to leave their pet's poop at the rally's location
Two right-wing "free speech" rallies planned for San Francisco and Berkeley, California were cancelled on Saturday.
The rally in Berkeley, titled "No to Marxism in America," was cancelled after a California judge denied the organizer's permit for the weekend demonstration. The cancellation came almost immediately after a similar rally planned for Saturday in San Francisco was called off.
The "freedom rally" in San Francisco was called off by the event's organizer. The cancellation came after one of the event's speakers, Kyle Chapman, was arrested and charged with possession of a weapon after authorities said he was seen on video hitting a counter-protester over the head with a billy club.
Dog walkers were planning to protest the politically conservative free-speech rally by leaving pup poop at San Francisco's Crissy Field, where the event was to be held. A Facebook page encouraged protesters to let their dogs loose Friday and Saturday morning at the park near the Golden Gate Bridge and not pick up after them. The page assured dog owners that they would come together Sunday to clean up the field of feces and "hug each other."
The organizer of the Berkley rally, Andrea Cummings, released a statement Friday afternoon urging people not to come to her "No to Marxism in America" rally in Berkeley on Sunday. She said she was concerned for the safety of the people who might come to the event. Cummings, who identifies herself as a transgender patriot, planned the event on social media and has worn sunglasses or covered her face with a bandanna when speaking about the event.
Counter-demonstrations were planned for both of the now-cancelled rallies, and city leaders worried violence would break out.
Mayors in both cities say the two groups invite hate.
San Francisco's mayor said he doesn't trust a right-wing group that says it's canceling a rally in the city on Saturday.
Mayor Ed Lee said Friday night that despite organizers saying it's called off, they have not cancelled the event in writing so the city is proceeding as though it's still happening.
Lee said, "We don't trust this group. I never have from the beginning."
He also urged people not to show up at the news conference the group plans to hold instead of the rally, but said police would be there and at the rally site.
Patriot Prayer head Joey Gibson said the rhetoric of Lee and other San Francisco leaders is what prompted the cancellation.
Gibson has said the group disavows racism and hatred.

Servicing your Gas boiler by either getting a new one, checking for repairs and general maintenance is like paying for any other service. As this kind of work involves you hiring heat engineers to come to your home or office to check on things. Like any other service, this type of work will vary according to where you live, what you want to be done and how much you will pay the actual professional.
The reasons why you would need to check on your gas boilers as often as is required is because it breaks down due to natural wear and tear. The worst part is that when they officially breakdown they do so in a time when you need them to be working the most like during those cold hard winters.
There are several different types of boilers out there, and some require more maintenance and service as opposed to others. For example condensed gas boilers are known to require the most service as opposed to combination boilers.
Things to know when you need to know before servicing your gas boiler
You would need to know what to look for to know when you need to replace or service your Gas boiler. For example you will need to make sure that the temperature of the water is always hot and has not decreased after years or months of usage, your boiler flame should be clear blue and not yellow, your boiler pressure should be high and if you hear any noise in the plumbing it is time to call the heating engineer.
Factors affecting the cost of servicing
The first cost of servicing your boiler that you should consider is the frequency of the service that should be done. There are people or gas companies who prefer to service their gas boilers either annually of biannually. The charges of these two types of time periods usually vary.
Another consideration to servicing your gas boiler is the type of boiler that you have. As mentioned earlier condensed gas boilers requires more service than combination gas boilers but there are also other things to consider. The size of the boiler itself matters as it would help dictate the amount of the fees. Smaller boilers have lower fees associated to them.
The extent of the problems sometimes turns out to be the larger percentage of the cost of the service. If the problem is very complicated and it affects many other parts of the house you should expect to pay more for the repairs. The opposite is true in that if you have a small problem or no problem at all then you will be likely to be asked to pay the minimal fee.
Look for heating engineers
Lastly servicing a gas boiler requires a heating engineer and the costs associated to hiring one varies. The more established or successful the heating engineer is then you are more likely to pay more for his or her services while a beginner or someone not well known in the hating engineering field will ask for much less. The fees are also higher depending on where you live. Cities that have a high living expenses tend to be more expensive when it comes to hiring professional do to the workFind Gas Boiler Service Experts

The Throwing Knife is a throwable weapon that appears in Far Cry 4 and Far Cry 5.
The Throwing Knife is a silent weapon that can be a one-shot kill with a direct hit on the target. The crosshair for the knife is a very small dot, and accuracy is key when using this weapon. Throwing knives will also grant double skins off animals if they are successfully killed by one.
Similar to arrows, harpoons, and bolts, you can pick them up once thrown.
- Farcry 4 is the first game in the series to feature throwing knives. They were available in Far Cry 3 but only in a side activity and through the Knife Throw Takedown.
- Heavy Guards will not be affected by throwing knives. The knife will ricochet off their armor. The only way they can be killed instantly in this manner is with the Skill Knife Throw Takedown.
- Throwing knives also appear in Far Cry Primal in the form of throwable Stone Shards.

Century City's new parking garage completed
Category New Develeopments
Construction of the new P3 parking garage in the Bridgeway Precinct at Century City has been completed.
P3 is between Virgin Active and Hillsong Church, close to the Century City Conference Centre, Century City hotel and various Bluechip office tenants. The garage offers parking to the general public on a pay-on-foot or hourly basis, with members of Virgin Active enjoying 90 minutes' free parking.
The building comprises five levels of parking, with a basement, three regular levels and a roof level, and will add 324 parking bays to the precinct.
"With a clear vision of P3 not being just another parking garage, an essential design objective was to include eye-catching lines and appealing design features," says Colin Anderson, chief operating officer at Rabie, the developer of Century City.
"This ensures that the building complements the superbly designed precinct, and builds on Century City's commitment to use art and points of interest across various developments to enhance the experience of all users."
Vivid Architects designed a randomly perforated aluminium cladding system as a façade across the building, which allows for natural ventilation to the floors. Features include a glazed circulation staircase on the corner of the building facing Century Square, offset with black, red and yellow tiled walls on the external façade.
A pocket park will be created at the pedestrian entrance and exit, with the existing footbridge crossing the canal serving as the main thoroughfare for pedestrians from P3 to the Conference Centre and Century Square.
"Century City's Art Trail includes more than 30 art installations of various sizes, and it is intended to showcase another art treasure in this "green" space," says Anderson.
"The provision of ample, convenient parking in the Bridgeway Precinct has been a fundamental underlying strength of the success of Century City Conference Centre and Century City Square. Great urban planning should ideally ensure that a minimum number of vehicles are parked in the external areas of a development. With ample underground and deck parking, we can offer a safe, pedestrian friendly experience to all our visitors, tenants and residents."

1. Measure your kitchen space
Get a measuring tape and start measuring. Do not leave out the windows and the pipe area. You will need this to decide on where should your sink be at and the position of the wall cabinet.
2. Design it (roughly)
Use a piece of paper if you are not tech savvy. If you are good at computers, jump into the Ikea Kitchen Planner section and start designing it.
3. Budget it (roughly)
Go to the Ikea website and look at the table top choices, door choices and etc.
4. Make an appointment
Make an appointment at the ikea website and be on time because the there are a lot of people in line.
5. Talk to the consultant
Finally, visiting Ikea. Tell them what you need and who them your plan (on a paper or simply the file you made at ikea website). Have a look at the material you choose and have a feel of it, make any changes you need if you don't feel right.
6. Purchase it
The consultant will print a bill for you to make the purchase at the counter. After purchasing, collect it at the collection area!
7. Install it
Installation can be DIY or by paying a certain amount to Ikea for their contractor to install it!
Yes, it is this simple! I hope this article helps you on saving time!

When I was 18 I worked in a health food store in western New York called Ye Olde Nut Tree. They served something called Unburgers that Jean Young created when she worked there. They were made daily for the snack bar. (The "batter" kept in the frig. for a day or two.) Hard-working, non-vegetarian, construction workers would come in just because they loved them. They were served on buns with alfalfa sprouts, tomato, etc., or on split open pita bread with cream cheese, avocado, cucumbers, and alfalfa sprouts, topped with an oil and vinegar dressing.
I made Unburgers so many times that I had inadvertently memorized the recipe. When I quit working there, I wrote my memorized recipe down and made it for my growing family. Unfortunately, the original recipe contained 9 eggs!! Needless to say, I had to turn them into a vegan version when we gave up eggs.
The recipe makes 12-16 patties, but they freeze marvelously.
The Nut Tree (the shortened name) exchanged owners and names, moved, and eventually went out of business. For any of you who used to go there to eat lunch, now you can make your own at home.
- 1 pkg. extra firm Morniu silken tofu
- 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 c. water
- 1 large onion
- 2 T. Bragg's Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
- 2 tsp. sage
- 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2-1 tsp. salt
- 1 T. Savorex, Vegex, or Marmite paste (from original recipe)
- OR (my preferred method)
- 2 T. Brewer's yeast flakes
- 1 1/2 tsp. Spike seasoning
- 1/2 capful Liquid Hickory Smoke
- 1 1/2 c. walnuts
- 3 c. quick oats (you may use half rolled oats for a chewier texture ~ for gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats)
- 1/2 c. raw sunflower seeds
Whiz in blender everything except walnuts, oats, and seeds until fairly smooth. Add walnuts – allow blender to run until no large pieces remain. Pour into large bowl and stir in oats and sunflower seeds. Let stand for 5 or more minutes.
Preheat electric griddle to 250-275 degrees F. (I suppose you could use a square stove-top griddle, but you couldn't cook as many at a time on it. Use medium-low heat.) Drop large scoops of mix onto griddle and flatten into patties. (Sometimes this isn't a quick process – be patient.) When browned (about 8-10 minutes), turn them over and continue cooking another 3-5 minutes. If you flip them too soon, they will be gooey inside.
Serve with gravy, on sandwiches, or alone with guacamole and slices of tomato on top. Try one crumbled onto a salad.
Makes 12 large patties, or 16 medium patties. Freezes well with waxed paper between layers.

Skull Base Tumors
Lesions located in or around the base of the skull are very difficult to treat surgically due to their locations. With a multi-disciplinary team approach and innovative surgical techniques, however, our experts are better able to remove deep-seated intra- and extra-cranial skull base lesions—allowing patients a better quality of life.
Surgery on skull base tumors combines the highly specialized techniques of interventional neuroradiology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, and neuroanesthesiology. The principal goal of skull base surgery is to permit access to difficult-to-reach lesions by anatomic displacement or extensive removal of the base of the skull. These techniques reduce or eliminate the need for brain retraction, thereby minimizing injury to the brain, cranial nerves, and blood vessels.
Our Skull Base Tumor Program, established in 1993, has become one of the largest benign brain tumor programs in the nation, treating over 200 new patients with meningioma and schwannomas annually.
Types of Skull Base Tumors & Lesions
Skull base surgical techniques are commonly used to treat various brain tumors and lesions in or around the paranasal sinuses and the floor of the anterior fossa, orbit, infratemporal fossa, sella, clivus, cavernous sinus, temporal bone/petrous apex, posterior fossa, and the foramen magnum region.
Cleveland Clinic's Skull Base Surgery Program offers many options for brain tumor treatment. We treat the following brain tumors and lesions.
Brain Tumors
- advanced head and neck tumors
- angiofibromas
- cholesteatomas/cholesterol granulomas
- chondromas/chondrosarcomas
- chordomas
- craniopharyngiomas
- dermoids/epidermoids
- esthesioneuroblastomas
- fibrous dysplasias
- glomus tumors
- invasive/giant pituitary tumors
- meningiomas
- neurofibromas
- orbital tumors
- paranasal sinus tumors
- pharyngeal neoplasms
- schwannomas
- temporal bone tumors
Vascular & Congential Lesions
- arterio-venous malformations
- basilar invaginations
- carotico-cavernous fistulae
- cavernous angiomas
- complex aneurysms
- congenital cysts
- craniofacial malformations
- encephaloceles
- complex craniofacial fractures
- CSF rhinorrhea
- orbital apex fractures with optic nerve compression
Consultation & Evaluation
Physicians seeing patients with skull base pathology or problems are encouraged to seek a consultation with one of our specialists. The Skull Base Surgery Program at Cleveland Clinic provides second opinions as well as surgery for recurrent or residual lesions. In addition, we have extensive experience managing high-risk patients with multiple medical problems.
Following an initial evaluation – which includes a medical history and complete physical, neurological, otolaryngological, and ophthalmological examinations as well as comprehensive radiographic studies - members of the Skull Base Surgery Program meet to develop a plan tailored to the individual patient's needs.
If surgery is deemed appropriate, specific surgical options are evaluated including anticipated closure and reconstruction of complex operative wounds. Post-operative rehabilitation and adjunct treatment modalities are discussed as needed. All recommendations are then discussed with the patient, family members and the referring physician.
Treatment Options
Complete pre-operative testing is critical to the success of these intricate procedures, and the Skull Base Surgery Program uses high-resolution CT, MRI, MRA and standard angiography to accurately delineate the skull base pathology.
To improve the safety and outcome of skull base surgery, Cleveland Clinic specialists utilize a number of sophisticated interventional neuroradiological procedures. These include selective embolization to decrease tumor vascularity and reduce intraoperative blood loss and carotid artery test occlusion to evaluate the brain's tolerance to carotid artery occlusion during surgery. In tumors located near or invading the carotid artery, this information is critical, as it will allow surgeons to either limit the extent of tumor resection to prevent major stroke, or to perform radical removal of the tumor and the involved artery. Selected patients who do not tolerate the test occlusion of the carotid artery may be advised to undergo a bypass procedure prior to resection to allow radical tumor removal.
Specialists in the Skull Base Surgery Program utilize state-of-the-art technology and equipment, including frameless/stereotactic sonic wand, intraoperative monitoring, specialized neuroanesthetic techniques, intraoperative angiography/embolization, laser, profound hypothermia/circulatory arrest, and stereotactic radiosurgery.
Throughout the evaluation process, treatment and recovery, referring physicians and family members are kept informed by telephone and/or written correspondence.
Inoperable Brain Tumors
When brain surgery is not the treatment of choice, or if adjunct therapy is recommended in addition to brain surgery, patients have available to them comprehensive radiation therapy and chemotherapy services. Our patients also have access to numerous clinical trials, some designed by Cleveland Clinic physicians, others as a part of multi-center trials in partnership with pharmaceutical companies or research consortia.
The Rose Ella Burkhardt Brain Tumor and Neuro-Oncology Center actively participates in several of these groups, including New Approaches to Brain Tumor Treatments (NABTT), the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG), the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (AcoSOG), and the Children's Oncology Group (COG). These associations contribute to the exciting environment of discussion and the sharing of data that is so important to the dynamic evolution of the therapeutic protocols of tomorrow.
Patient Outcomes
A 41-year-old female presented with headaches, nausea and dizziness. The MRI showed a high signal intensity lesion on T1, with minimal enhancement, located in the clival region anterior to the brainstem. This neurenteric cyst was totally resected via the combined transpetrosal and retrosigmoid approaches. The patient had transient right VI cranial nerve palsy which resolved.
A 15-year-old presented with nasal stuffiness. MRI scans following gadolinium injection showed a large mass involving the maxillary, sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses, as well as the pterygopalatine fossa and the parapharyngeal space. The tumor also invaded the anterior aspect of the cavernous sinus and middle fossa. A combined otolaryngeal/neurosurgical skull base procedure was performed to achieve total resection of this juvenile angiofibroma. The patient did well postoperatively with no neurologic deficit other than V2 distribution numbness.
A 58-year-old female presented with a large meningioma involving the right cavernous sinus and the petroclival region. The cavernous sinus portion was removed totally in one stage, and the petroclival tumor was removed subtotally via a separate transpetrosal approach. The patient is doing well, and right cranial nerve palsies involving III, IV, V, VI, and VII are resolving.

AEi Announces Release of New Laser and LIDAR Alignment Module for CMAT Modular Platform
Wilmington, MA – February 5, 2015
AEi announced that it released new modules for the CMAT Modular platform for Laser and LIDAR active alignment and test.
The CMAT Modular platform continues to expand its capabilities with the recent release of a new Laser and LIDAR alignment module. Unlike camera alignment where the actual camera image sensor itself is used in conjunction with 5 and 6 axis of control to actively align the lens element, with Laser and LIDAR alignment, a different approach is required to analyze the focus beam of the laser or LIDAR projection to control the 6 axis alignment of the lens element. "We have brought together the 6-axis precision control of the CMAT modular platform and combined it with laser control and a new laser targeting system that enables the focus of laser and LIDAR lens elements," said George Rose, Director of Product Strategy at AEI. He added " Gesture recognition for consumer virtual reality products and LIDAR for use in Automotive ADAS systems are fast growing market opportunities. AEi develops the manufacturing technologies that bring optical alignment and automation that enable production manufacturing of these emerging technologies."
The CMAT Laser Alignment Module is available with 6 Axis alignment stages, jetted dispense, laser power control and a proprietary targeting system. AEi has also developed patented gripper technology to help pick and place the fine lens elements used in Laser Gesture modules and LIDAR systems. The CMAT system can be mated with either a manual load interface or can be a configured as complete closed system mated to the Auto Load Module (ALM) outfitted with 3 JEDEC tray loaders for uninterrupted high volume production runs. The new CMAT Laser Alignment Module is available immediately for delivery.
Please contact your local sales office to learn more about this new option for the CMAT modular platform.

Post roll out, sales in these 3 states have jumped 15 % in August. July was bad because of GST and some vendors being non compliant. New supply has commenced only from July 17-18. Post RREP, BJE's retailers will now make 8-10% margin compared to 3-5% by those of Philips and Havells. This has been a weak point for BJE—total number of SKU has reduced significantly from 1,200 in FY13 to 700 in FY17.
The company is trying to address this lacuna by setting up a R&D centre. Post RREP, management envisages debtors to reduce and net borrowing to also dip.BJE's growth/profitability over the past several quarters has been below large listed peers as the company is currently focusing more on executing its new distribution strategy. We believe, the company should also focus on product innovations/ramp up and brand positioning, which according to us is a key challenge. At CMP, the stock trades at 18x FY19E.
We maintain 'HOLD/SP' with target price of Rs 310 (23x PE to consumer business). RoCE has increased because of RREP execution. In Tamil Nadu, Bihar & Maharashtra this model has been rolled out fully. In Delhi, RREP has been rolled out by end August. The company had 2,000 distributors, which by March 2018 end will reduce to 400 RREP Compliant distributors. The company has entered into a factoring agreement with Axis Bank (at a cash discount of 1.5% and interest of 9%) which the management believes will be able to improve the working capital significantly.

Two field trials were carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of the University of Ilorin in the 2012 and 2014 planting seasons to find out the effeciency of Trichoderma harzianum as a bio-control agent in controlling root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in two pepper varieties (F1 Nikita and Gianfranco Fuscello). A 2 × 2 factorial design fitted into a randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used with 5 replications. The T. harzianum filtrate significantly increased plant height, number of leaves, and yield. The control showed higher root galling and soil nematode population. Varietal differences showed that F1 Nikita performed significantly better than G. Fuscello. The combination of Trichoderma and F1 Nikita appears effective for managing root-knot nematodes.
This paper presents the behaviour of five hyacinth varieties: 'City of Haarlem', 'Blue Jacket', 'Miss Saigon', 'Jan Boss', and 'Double Prince of Love' in forced culture under the influence of different culture substrates. For this purpose, the following parameters were monitored concerning the main characteristics: number of flowers from inflorescence, length of stem flower, earliness of flowering period, and the flowers' blooming period. The results of this work show that in culture substrate garden soil and sand (1:1) the best results were obtained regarding the length of the floral stem, number of flowers from inflorescence, and flowering period, and less favourable results were obtained for bloom precocity.
During the study, the seeds of seven sweet basil cultivars were treated with 100 ppm solutions of gibberellic acid or ascorbic acid prior to a 14-day germination experiment. Values of the first day of germination, germination energy, germinability, mean time and rate of germination, and uncertainty and synchrony of germination were calculated. The results show that both of the substances altered the measured parameters, priming with gibberellic acid proving to be a more effective way to enhance the germination of basil seeds. Also, they revealed major differences among the germination parameters of the examined cultivars.
Nature, childhood, and ecopsychology can to be connected in the landscape of a schoolyard. The landscape architecture of the natural environments serves as a wide-open green space for outdoor activities, creating imaginative and inventive urban environmental layouts and connecting natural elements. School-based green experience, either indoor or outdoor, can be a physical and mental activity for children. In the case of individuals, it makes` easy to access a natural, green environment and to be actively involved in a natural setting, developing either social and/or cognitive functions and improving concentration and creativity. Therapeutic horticulture activity, such as planting indoor plants, can be a good experience for developing team work, the proprioceptive (kinase) receptors, affectivity, socialization, permanent care, and responsibility. The potential benefits of ornamental plants for children involved in public education include spending time in outdoor spaces, fresh air and sunshine, experiencing a sense of control, and being exposed to sensory stimulations. Physical and psychological education based on therapeutic horticulture activities in Romanian schools, such as planting and green care, can provide important opportunities for children to develop their attachment to nature, offering sustainable education solutions to an active part of the natural environment.
Nowadays, changes in environment have become characteristic of notorious mainstream political topics, with a corresponding moral, political, and financial support. The presented article deals with the landscape-ecological scientific aspects of climatic changes and of ecosystem services. The research of both phenomena is based on the complex investigation of the geosystem and, as a second step, on the scientifically-based interpretation of the obtained results. The problem resides in the question concerning the capability of scientific institutions and teams to deal with these topics with scientific profoundness, taking into account intensive public pressure and high expectations.
Recently, industrial tomato production in Hungary shows an increasing tendency after a weak processing period. However, to maintain the cultivation profitable, the use of proper technology and genotype is indispensable.
In the experiment, five hybrids and one variety were evaluated in a plot experiment design on open field. The main objective was to evaluate the fruit quality of different genotypes and to determine the suitability for mechanical harvest.
According to the results, Heinz 1015 F 1 and Heinz 9478 F 1 had the best fruit quality for industrial processing.
Nowadays, the use of hybrids with good adaptability and resistance properties is important for a profitable production.
This study was conducted to identify races of wheat seed gall nematode Anguina tritici by using molecular identification for this nematode species parasitized on durum and bread wheat cultivars. Wheat seed galls of both cultivars were collected from two cities, Erbil and Duhok, from the Kurdistan Region and Iraq respectively. DNA was extracted from both nematode isolates (populations), and then PCR reactions were performed with Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region using primers TW81/AB28 with 2 µl of template DNA of A. tritici for both nematode isolates on both wheat cultivars. The bands of both amplification products of PCR reactions were visualized in position about 800 bp on agarose gel, which indicates that both isolates of A. tritici belong to the same race. On the other hand, no nucleotide differences were observed between the two nematode isolations, as revealed by the sequence alignment of DNA of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and phylogenetic tree, which emphasizes at the same time that both nematode isolates are of the same genetic structure or have the same identity and confirms their belonging to the same nematode race.
"Tradition and Modernity", two aspects the University of Agriculture Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca lives by. The current paper presents a case study analysis of a landscape architecture design, combining tradition with modernity. Through the use of traditional Transylvanian patterns, this concept design is based on the use of different plant species and flowering periods. It measures 500 sq. m and is situated on the campus of the UASVM. Today, there is an increasing interest for bulbs and Lavandula species in landscaping. This is the reason why Lavandula is popular in the design concept presented below. Designed with the use of Romanian traditional patterns and specific colours, two types of ornamental plants are combined: perennials and bulbous plants. This proposal attempts to provide a way of approaching the Romanian landscape, specific to the region it belongs to.
The main objective of this paper is to report the effect of shrub removal, mowing, and grazing as grassland management methods on spider diversity. Sampling was conducted in the Mátra Mountains and four disturbed main road verges in Hungary. Shrub removal and mowing positively affected diversity. Moderate grazing caused increasing diversity, but intensive grazing reduced spider diversity. The intensity of mowing maintenance had various effects on diversity depending on the landscape impact. It is worth reducing the intensity of the application of mosaic treatments and considering the long-term maintenance of edge habitats in these areas.
A country's economic situation, its political establishment, and the prevailing environmental conditions have a significant impact on the institutional system required for efficient environmental protection measures. During our work, we reviewed the institutional changes and legislation regarding environmental protection which have occurred over the past 20 years as well as the role of changes in the government. In summary, it can be concluded that significant changes occurred during the past two decades. The names, organizational structures, operations, and scopes of ministries have undergone regular changes over the years. In Hungary, there has been no separate ministry of the environment since 2010, and this area is regulated only on the state secretary level. In contrast, in the V4 countries and the Carpathian Basin, environmental protection is regulated on the ministry level.

Comments from the Jury
Representing the jury, Dr. Hirofumi Abe, Chairperson of Okayama ESD Promotion Commission, made a comment as follows;
50 applicants applied for the 'Global Award' (29 applicants from 27 countries around the world and 21 from Japan) and 30 applicants applied for 'Okayama Regional Award' during application period from 16 July 2015 to 25 September. Through the preliminary screening, 9 finalists for the Global Award and 5 finalists for the Okayama Regional Award were selected. After the final selection 2 nominees won the Global Award and 2 nominees won the Okayama Regional Award.
In the selection of the Global Award, we did not assess the organizations but the substance of projects. We saw it as important, whether the projects contribute to visualizing and spreading ESD in local communities.
- 'Library-oriented Community Learning Centers in Rural Cambodia' by Shanti Volunteer Association (SVA) tackles local urgent issues such as literacy and poverty through establishing and utilizing a community library. It raises motivation of the local residents for learning and joining activities through considering the local needs and promotes voluntary and self-motivating activities for developing a sustainable community. Capacity building is conducted for local residents, so that they will be able to run the CLC (Community Learning Centre) by themselves in the future. This project is recognized as a national model of CLC in Cambodia.
-'Sustainable Development through Protection and Conservation of Forests and Bio-diversity, Education, Society, Economy and Environment by Addressing the Negative Impacts of Climate Change' by Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM) works comprehensively on transforming community including improving standard of life and natural environment in several areas such as Satkhira and Chittagong. The project was also valued with the point that it involves various people and groups in the communities.
In the selection of the Okayama Regional Award, we assessed the projects mainly from the following three criteria: 1) whether the project nurtures the people who are aware of the social and local issues, learn, practice and act for tackling those issues; 2) whether it involves various stakeholders; 3) whether it is run systematically, not being managed by specific individuals and has prospect of continuity.
- 'Okayama City Kyoyama District ESD Project' by Okayama City Kyoyama District ESD Promotion Commission based at Kyoyama Kominkan (Community Learning Centre) involves inter-generational people and various stakeholders and conducts community-wide ESD activities. The project has been continuing for more than ten years with clear ESD vision and it is improved continuously through every year's evaluation.
-Okayama Prefectural Wakeshizutani Senior High School which conduct 'Wakeshizutani Senior High School - Attractive School Project' (Cooperation with Community /' Shizutani-learning in the Period of Integrated Study /ESD Promotion by School Education) joined in the UNESCO ASPnet in 2011 and promotes learning and practices for building a sustainable community through volunteer work by all students and activities in and with the community by utilizing the period of integrated study. It is expected that the students working on ESD will be leaders of the society.
Furthermore, following comments were given by the jury. Besides the two winners of the Global Award, there were applications which have been promoting ESD for a longtime in the international field. We would like to introduce shortlisted projects on the website after we get agreements of the applicants. For Okayama Regional Award, there were applications about projects practicing ESD on the issue of living environment, disaster risk reduction and persons with disability and also those which are expected to contribute to promotion of ESD in the region.

What began as a simple rehab project on this home quickly morphed into a significant interior and exterior renovation. New windows and doors were installed, a new cedar roof and siding were added, and design details such as a mahogany chair rail and overhang were constructed to elevate the shingle style designs. The interior floor plan was re-worked, and the first floor cathedral living room was filled in to add a second living space upstairs. The addition of millwork details, renovated bathrooms and a new kitchen culminated in a new identity for the home.

Just found the nursery building on Street View – i've included it in the Where Are We page (and below) so everyone can have a look. The keen eyed will notice that there are kids in the playground. This is because the building was used as a nursery by one of the chains until a couple of years ago. In the more distant past, the original part of the building was built as a school sometime in the 1800's we think.
N.B. If you can't see Street View above, you may need to refresh your browser or click the 'View Larger Map' link. Alternatively, you may not have Flash Player version 10 or above installed

Bowel Cancer TV Ad Attack in Sydney
Australia's Gut Foundation has launched an advertising campaign comparing the impact of a terrorist attack with that of bowel cancer. The bowel cancer TV ad has scenes reminiscent of the September 11 bombings in New York, raising awareness of the frightening statistic of 12 people dying each day from the disease.
A shot across the Sydney Harbour from Kiribilli shows high rise buildings in the heart of Sydney burning. We're shown fire and rescue trucks rushing into the city, with stunned pedestrians looking up at the carnage. The voiceover helps us make sense of the body bags being carried out. "If 12 Australians were killed by terrorists it would be front page news. Yet 12 Australian men and women die from bowel cancer every single day. That's more than breast cancer but no-one wants to talk about it, even though it's curable if detected early."
Click on the image below to play the video.
The Gut Foundation Attack was developed at Banjo, Sydney, by creative partners Georgia Arnott and Jon Burden, agency producer Meredyth Rudd, account manager Ryan Barlow, media planner Ben Lyttle and managing director Andrew Varasadi.
Filming was shot by director Matt Murphy via Goodoil Films with producer Ben Scandrett Smith.
Editor was Bernard Garry at The Editors. Sound was produced at Song Zu by Simon Cane.

A & E ART | Eye of Zidane
What can a tattered hat and doing nothing on a soccer field teach us about greatness?
By Tor Lukasik-Foss
Constance Meyer (1775 - 1821) and Pierre-Paul Prud'hon (1758 - 1823) Apotheosis of Napoléon Bonaparte, First Consul of the Republic, 1803.
I confess that I had no real desire to see the fancy Eye of Napoleon exhibition at the AGH, and had intentions of shielding my eyes as I walked through it to get to ZIDANE: A 21st Century Portrait, the splashy two channel video installation by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, beautifully installed in the Southam Gallery in the back end of the main floor. "Don't let the historical show sedate you," I told myself, "you need to stay sharp for the contemporary installation."
It didn't work. Quite unintentionally, I caught sight of Napolean's hat. One of his actual campaign hats — tattered, modest, suitable to fit only the tiniest and angriest of skulls. The hat totally lured me into a full investigation of the exhibition, an oddly compelling miscellany of French culture. Nonetheless, as intrigued as I was by all the finery and knick-knackery, it was the hat that rocked me the hardest. It argued for Napoleon not as a cultural icon, but as an actual living being who fought wars on battlefields, who did his job better than anyone else, who actually wore a crazy sideways hat while he did it. It's funny how you can forget that historical figures actually were living, breathing entities.
And the Napoleon exhibition connected unexpectedly well with Gordon and Parreno's video profile of Zinedine Zidane, the French/Algerian midfielder who is considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time. Sport is a handy microcosm of things like conquest, heroism, and empire building, and Gordon and Parreno's portrait of this athlete seems equally fascinated in how Zidane functions as an idol, a warrior and as a human animal fully engaged in a mental and physical endeavour.
The premise of the film is simple. Seventeen synchronized cameras were essentially all pointed at Zidane for every minute of an April 23, 2005 Spanish Liga match between Real Madrid (Zidane's team) and Villarreal CF. The cameras never followed the ball, the score or the commentary, only Zidane. (Gordon borrowed this idea from a 1970 experimental film called Football As Never Before, wherein a similar batch of cameras was trained on Manchester United's George Best.) Subsequently, we observe shots of his shuffling feet, his hands adjusting his sock and attend to a soundtrack that flits from the roar of the crowd, to the quiet grunts of the players, to occasional snatches of sportscasters.
The effect is disorienting, deflating and yet still riveting. I walked in on the screening presumably sometime during the first half, and it took a full five minutes before I saw him commit a recognizable act of soccer: a casual pass. Most of the screen time is devoted to Zidane walking, Zidane standing, Zidane grimacing, Zidane watching. He's really, really good at doing these things.
So much so, that watching this film is like watching National Geographic footage of a predatory cat. Ninety percent of the time is spent thinking and positioning, tension building towards brief moments of full-on physical engagement, flashes that usually take no longer than 10 seconds before reverting back to more thinking and positioning.
There's really only one moment where Zidane's talent truly demonstrates itself, deep in the second half, when he pushes through a multitude of defenders and cracks off an impossible-looking cross shot which his teammate Ronaldo heads into the net. It's a game-winning goal, but Zidane barely flinches, his face remains stony and sour throughout.
I watched for an hour and 15 minutes before I saw him crack a smile.
I have to admit there were a few points where I couldn't decide what it was I was watching — film, sport or visual art. The soundtrack by Scottish artrock band Mogwai was pleasant enough but the music polished the visceral nature of some of the footage, bringing it right to the brink of becoming a superlong Nike commercial. There was also an awkward montage of news events from around the globe, inserted at half time, to widen the context; it seemed extraneous. Gordon and Parreno's work is most alive when Zidane is full frame and near motionless; that's when the viewer has time to pry inside his impermeable head or imagine what it must be like to be an athlete competing at that level — so many eyes constantly watching you, and yet clearly such an isolating experience. Those are the moments when the video functions best as a piece of artistic portraiture.
Leaving the installation, I had to pass by the larger than life marble bust of Napoleon by Italian carver Antonio Canova. It is an undeniable act of craftsmanship, but it suggests none of the vulnerability or sweat of Bonaparte's rumpled hat. Instead, the carving seemed to be deliberately invulnerable, a depiction that intentionally refuses to expose an interior life. It made me wonder if greatness depends on being able to maintain an impenetrable facade.
The Eye of Napoléon runs to May 5, 2013. ZIDANE: A 21st-Century Portrait, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno runs to April 28, 2013.

Harness hemostatic - device for temporary stop bleeding from vessels in the limbs by circular dragging and compression limbs tissues with blood vessels. Tourniquet used for bleeding tissue during surgery on hand and foot, amputations of limbs, etc. For compression only venous vessels tourniquet impose at venepunktia (see) and to extend the validity of regional intraosseous and intravenous anesthesia.
Fig. 1. Tourniquet esmarkha
Fig. 2. The imposition of a tourniquet esmarkha: 1 and 2 - stages overlay
Tourniquet impose only significant arterial bleeding; if the venous and small arterial bleeding can apply a pressure bandage. A tourniquet should be located centrally damaged plot: when wounded lower limb - at any level thighs, upper limbs, on the shoulder, except the middle one-third because of the danger of compression of nerve trunks. In order to avoid infringement of the skin under tourniquet enclose soft lining, for example towel, straightened part of the service, the layer of cotton wool, etc., With the right imposition of a tourniquet disappears pulse on peripheral arteries, distal limb of a tourniquet pales, the bleeding stops. Loose tourniquet causes venous congestion, swelling and increased bleeding from a wound. Excessive tightening harness limbs can cause compression of the nerves, followed by paralysis. A tourniquet can be on a limb is not more than 2 hours in order to avoid ossification tissue. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly indicate the time of imposition of a tourniquet on the special tag attached to the harness, or in the accompanying leaflet. If necessary, leave a tourniquet for a longer time it is necessary to dissolve for a few seconds (at this point artery pressed his finger), or to shift to a new place, several centrally. Limb with an overlay of hemostatic harness should be mobilizovat, putting it in a convenient (preferably an elevated position.
Wounded with a styptic harness should be immediately sent to the hospital for the final stop bleeding (see).
There are several varieties of hemostatic cables. Harness esmarkha (Fig. 1) - thick rubber tube with a hook and a chain on the ends. The technique of blending (Fig. 2): straighten fold service level tourniquet is applied or wrap limb in this place a soft cloth. Superimposing a tourniquet becomes the side of the victim and brings harness under limb. Then take the harness at the end and in the middle part and stretch a rubber tube, wrapping her legs around to stop bleeding from the wound. The first round of the harness must be very tight, further momentum over the weak. Gradual reduction of tensile rubber clip on a limb entire harness. Tours tourniquet is placed near densely so that between them there was not infringing tissues.

The ends of a tourniquet connect, bringing the hook for one of the rings in the chain. Belt harness (Fig. 3) - rubber band width of about 3 see Impose it as harness esmarkha. To stop bleeding from vessels of the upper limb and bleeding limbs during operations, use tape harness made of thin elastic rubber width of 5-6 cm (Fig. 4). Impose it on pre raised limb spiral moves from the periphery to the center (Fig. 5), fix, knotting the ends of the string or special tape-string on one of its ends.
Fabric harness-spin (Fig. 6,1) consists of a strip of a strong fabric 1 m long and 3 cm in width, twist and zipper on one end. The spin - loop from a band of the same width as harness, with a stick in the middle of the cloth and rings for fixing it all is connected with the band bundle two rectangular buckles near the clasp. Fabric harness-spin impose the following way (Fig. 6, 2-4). The left hand take the buckle, and the right braid wrapped around the legs and, prodanov
through the closure, extremely lengthy. The spin must be in a location convenient for tightening. Tighten the tourniquet by the rotation of the wand with a twist braids-twist. After reaching the required pressure vessels and stop bleeding the end of the rod is fixed in one of the loops.
Standard wiring can be replaced with a belt, scarf, shawl. any piece of material, and so on (you cannot use a wire, rope, etc). To temporarily stop bleeding improvised harness manufacture, placing him on the type of spin (Fig. 7). The material is put in the form of a wide ribbon wrapped around the legs and tie the ends dual node in which you put a stick. Turning it on, tighten the harness.
For compression of the veins and in some cases and arteries, it is convenient to use the cuff from the apparatus for measuring blood pressure, to control gauge the degree of compression.

Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926) on the religion of the Bab.
`Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926) on the religion of the Bab, the Babi-Baha'i religions'.
Stephen Lambden UCMerced.
In progress 24-07-2018.
Edward Granville Browne (1862-1926) [= EGB] studied the relgion of the Bab and interacted with Babis and Baha'is throughout his life. Yet, this British born orientalist and Cambridge professor, never exactly professed himself a Babi, Azali or Baha'i. He became especially close to the religion of the Bab in his early years having first come accross the Babi religion in Cambridge in 18XX in the course of reading the text of Les Religiones ... (1st ed. Paris 1865) of the French travellor, writer and orientalist Gobineau (d. ). Then, during his `Year Amongst the Persians' (1887-8), he sought out and became fascinated with the writings of the Bab and had numerous dealings with Babis-Azalis and Baha'is.
