More than $5 million granted to flood victims thanks to donations to Ky. nonprofit
HAZARD, Ky. (WKYT) - It has been two and a half months since deadly flash flooding in eastern Kentucky. Recovery will take years to get communities back to at least close to where they were before the floods.
Thanks to efforts from the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, families and businesses are getting a major helping hand.
Monday, the nonprofit announced they have awarded more than $5.3 million in grants to families, nonprofits, small businesses, and family farms impacted by flooding.
"This is the first time I have ever experienced anything of this magnitude here at home both on the side of the devastation, and on the side of the response," said Foundation CEO Gerry Roll.
According to the Foundation, $1,200,000 was given for the Housing Can't Wait Initiative to build 16 houses in Letcher, Knott, Perry, and Breathitt counties.
Another $2,150,650 was given to individuals and families, representing 21,241 adults and children. Roll says there are still likely thousands more they haven't even reached yet.
"We need to remember that there will still be people who just need some cash assistance. People who are going to need food, people who are still going to need temporary shelter. We as a community, and as a state, have to talk about that as well. So while we have helped tens of thousands of people, there are still thousands out there that are going to continue to need our help."
The breakdown of where the money has gone also includes $860,050 to businesses, social enterprises, and nonprofits. Small family farmers were granted $185,500. Eighteen family resource centers split $626,250, and $150,000 was distributed to six Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky Affiliate Community Foundation funds for rapid response regranting in their local communities.

Reviewed By William Diebold, Jr.
Packed into this small, thoughtful book is a most informative analysis of the past practices of the World Bank and a series of concrete recommendations for dealing with an international economy "now drastically different from what it was in the fifties and sixties, when it first developed its lending standards." As a longtime member of the bank's staff, Mr. de Vries knows what he is talking about and makes a lucid, persuasive case for the changes he proposes.

Three years of pandemic learning response: reaching learners across the world with life-saving health knowledge – World Health Organization
26 January 2023 marks three years since WHO launched its first OpenWHO.org course on the then-novel coronavirus and started providing accessible, up-to-date and informative health knowledge for a diverse global audience amid the fast-evolving pandemic. As of this date, OpenWHO offers a total of 190 online courses, 46 of which address COVID-19 topics, and has totaled 7.4 million course enrolments.
To adapt to a multilingual world and best serve the affected global population, OpenWHO courses have been produced in a total of 65 languages, with an average of four languages available per course. 15 country-specific learning channels have been developed with WHO Country Offices to provide access in Member States' official languages. All learning content has been created and vetted by WHO science and expert teams to ensure its scientific accuracy.
To have the widest possible impact and reach learners from remote communities to high-tech metropolises, including in health emergency contexts, OpenWHO has leveraged existing technologies and is offering simple, adaptable and accessible learning content. OpenWHO courses are provided in self-paced, multi-use formats so learners have the option to participate whenever and however works best for them, in line with the universal design for learning framework. Materials are also increasingly optimized for a world in which many rely on mobile phones to stay informed.
Feedback received to date shows positive and encouraging trends. An analysis of two surveys for the platform's second most popular course – Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) in the context of COVID-19 – confirmed high user satisfaction, with learning needs overwhelmingly met. More than 95% of participants said they would change at least some IPC practices after the course, a majority of whom were women aged 20 to 39 years working in a health-related profession.
In addition, survey results from learners who followed the COVID-19 vaccination training for health workers confirmed the effectiveness of self-paced, multi-use formats from the user perspective, as well as the value of modular and low-bandwidth friendly materials to reduce barriers to access.
Finally, recent feedback indicates that OpenWHO's learning reach has extended beyond the online platform as communities adapt materials to local contexts and key learners impart the knowledge they gained, creating a multiplier effect.
By harnessing the potential of simple formats and technologies to empower millions of people across the globe with knowledge to protect themselves and their communities, OpenWHO has helped WHO further the goal of supporting everyone, everywhere in attaining the highest level of health. Moving forward, this knowledge-transfer platform will remain an important and effective tool in the preparedness for and response to health emergencies across the globe.

Арнольд Ойкен (; ) — немецкий физико-химик.

Биография
Ойкен родился в Йене, в семье философа, а позднее и лауреата Нобелевской премии по литературе Рудольфа Ойкена. Его братом был экономист Уолтер Ойкен. Арнольд Ойкен начал свое обучение в Кильском университете имени Кристиана-Альбрехта. В 1903 году он стал членом Корпуса Саксонии Киля. Поскольку в данном объединении Ойкен не занимал никакой должности, он переехал в свой родной Йенский университет и Университет Фридриха Вильгельма в Берлине.
Ойкен работал с Вальтером Нернстом и получил у него докторскую степень в 1906 году по теме стационарное состояние между поляризованными водородными электродами. В 1911 Ойкен, вслед за докторской степенью получил ученую степень, также в Берлине. В возрасте 31 года он мог бы занять кафедру университета в Бреслау уже в 1915 году, но это произошло только в 1919 году. Между тем Первая мировая война задержала его на Западном фронте (где он получил Железный Крест 1-го класса) в качестве командира батареи, а также преподавателя в артиллерийской школе. В 1930 году он начал работать в Геттингенском университете имени Георга Августа, сменив Густава Тамманна — предыдущего директора. После победы нацистской партии на выборах в Рейхстаг в марте 1933 года Ойкен стал в том же году членом этой партии. Он продолжал работать в Геттингене.
Он был женат на Фрици Браузеттер с 1913 года; у пары было четверо детей. Ойкен покончил жизнь самоубийством в 1950 году.

Достижения
Ойкен внес важный вклад в области физической химии и технической химии. Он сосредоточился на удельных теплоемкостях при очень низких температурах, строении жидкостей и растворов электролитов, молекулярной физике (вращение, вибрация), дейтерии и тяжелой воде, гомогенной и гетерогенной газовой кинетике, катализе, химической технологии и химической технологии.
По его приглашению Эдвард Теллер приехал в Геттинген в 1931 году, где он также работал с Джеймсом Франком и особенно с Гертой Спонер. Среди его аспирантов были Клаус Шефер и Эрнст Ульрих Франк. Одним из последних докторантов Ойкена был впоследствии лауреат Нобелевской премии Манфред Эйген.

Награды
 1929: член-корреспондент Академии наук в Геттингене (действительный член с 1931 г.)
 1936: Избран членом Немецкой академии естествоиспытателей Леопольдина.
 1942: член Баварской академии наук.
 1944: Памятная медаль Бунзена
 1945: доктор технических наук в Техническом университете Карлсруэ

Paco Rabanne lighten up with 1 Million Cologne
On April 15, 2015 By groomingguruIn Fragrance, News, Product reviewsLeave a comment
Love it or loathe it Paco Rabanne's 1 Million is a fragrance phenomenon. It's a heady cocktail, though, so if it's a little bit too 'in-your-face' for you maybe you should check out 1 Million Cologne. Sharper and fresher than its best-selling brother it has a slightly bitter, cocktail feel (the result of mandarin orange and a fresh marine accord) which makes it a much better option for summer. It's spikier and not quite as rounded and creamy as the original 1 Million fragrance but is just as ferociously commercial and has lost non of its tenacity – when I tested it out on my skin I could still smell it 12 hours later.
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Cologne is available now.
Paco Rabanne's Invictus: standing on the shoulders of a giant?
On October 25, 2013 October 28, 2013 By groomingguruIn Fragrance, Insider Interviews, News3 Comments
It's already hit the top spot of the best selling men's fragrances in the UK and now that we're in the frenzied run up to Christmas you can be sure that Paco Rabanne's Invictus, which launched at the end of July, is going to be at the top of many a man's festive wish list.
It's success, of course, comes in the wake of a fragrance phenomenon – Paco Rabanne's 1 Million. Since its launch back in 2008 1 Million has become the envy of fragrance houses worldwide. So popular has it become that, remarkably, a bottle is sold every five seconds. Such popularity isn't without its drawbacks though. After all, how do you follow a fragrance that that's become a modern classic and also a benchmark for commercial success in a notoriously fickle market?
It was this very question that I put to Paco Rabanne Vice President Vincent Thilloy when I met him in Paris a while back. "In truth we could not have imagined how successful 1 Million would become or how it would end up a market leader," he told me. "Although I suppose key to its success was the fact that we took a risk with it, especially with the bottle. Few companies are willing to take real risks these days but the way I look at, it's not taking a risk that's the risk!"
Certainly, 1 Million's gold bullion bar bottle and the novel 'trophy' flacon of Invictus are both unlike anything on the market but according to Thilloy it's still the 'juice' inside that matters most. "Having a great bottle is only part of the story," he believes. "Ultimately, the smell of the fragrance is everything because you'll only buy a fragrance again if someone says you smell great."
So how does Invictus – a fragrance that was over two and a half years in development – smell? Well, if you haven't tried it yet it's at the other end of the spectrum to 1 Million. Where that fragrance is sweet, warm and sexy Invictus is fresh and sporty. Sure, it features earthy patchouli and warm woody notes but there's a fresh 'marine' vibe (think the smell of ocean spray) and a slight metallic something going on there too. Fundamentally, though, it's a fragrance of two halves.
"With Invictus we really wanted to create something that was fresh but not in a traditional 'cologne fresh' way – we wanted a fragrance that had two distinct sides to it," says Thilloy. The beauty of this olfactory duality – and what differentiates it from 1 Million is that you can wear Invictus in the day and into the night, as the warmer base notes develop.
Paco Rabanne's fragrances have always tapped into man's most ardent aspirations. 1 Million was about a desire for wealth and the playboy lifestyle, Black XS was about wanting to be a rock star and Invictus is about being a champion. So now that this latest fragrance is firmly on the fragrance map what next? "I can't tell you," says Thilloy coyly. "But what I can tell you is that we're already working on it!"
Viktor & Rolf hope to spice up fragrance market with new fragrance
On January 27, 2012 January 27, 2012 By groomingguruIn Fragrance, News, Product reviews4 Comments
In the last few years the Holy Grail in terms of men's fragrance has been to come up with something as successful as Paco Rabanne's surprise hit 1 Million. I say surprise because, in reality, the fragrance itself is a bit 'meh' – its natural home being a Wolverhampton nightclub on a rainy Saturday night. But the bling bling bottle is genius which kind of makes it the 'all-fur-coat-and-no-knickers' of the fragrance world. Or 'all-leather-jeans-and-no-Y-fronts' if you prefer. But still it sells – by the bucket load.
In a crowded, increasingly competitive, market bottle design really matters (witness Marc Jacobs' novel Bang flacon) so it's no surprise that a stand-out bottle was top of mind when creating Viktor & Rolf's new fragrance for men, Spicebomb.
Designed to resemble a hand grenade (it even has its own pin) it's certainly eye-catching, though I'd have liked to have seen it a little heavier myself, since a weighty bottle always says quality to me.
And, so, what about the fragrance itself? Well, it's quite different to the design duo's first men's fragrance, Antidote. The brief here was clearly to create something sexy, wearable and very 'now' and in this respect it succeeds admirably.
Spicebomb hits you like…well, a bomb really, with one big olfactory wallop. There's chilli, saffron and pink pepper along with fresh bergamot and grapefruit notes and leather, tobacco and vetiver ones. It's a more conventional blend than the press bumpf would have you believe and to me it has a headiness akin to fragrances like Mugler's A*Men and a faint gourmand quality (the cinnamon maybe?).
It doesn't feel quite as sophisticated, daring or as complex as Antidote, nor as quirky, but because of this it should be able to reach way beyond the former's narrow customer base. Who knows? It may even go off like a….No, I'll resist that one.
Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb is available exclusively from Harrods now and nationwide from 7th March priced £45 for 50ml eau de toilette.

Q: Why does the method of undetermined coefficients always work? To put things into perspective I've read some posts with the method of undetermined coefficients in it for differential equations. What I'm talking about is the method to determine a closed formula for a sequence. For those of you who are unfamiliar with it I'll try to explain it.
E.g.:
$$0, 2, 5, 9, 14,\ldots$$
$$2, 3, 4, 5,\ldots$$
$$1, 1, 1,\ldots$$
The $1^{st}$ sequence (it also can be a different sequence of course, this is just an example) is always given in an exemplary exercise (in my case I found it myself, just by the brute-force method). The $2^{nd}$ one is acquired by subtracting the number in the 1^{st}sequence by the following number of that sequence. And one is required to stop this algorithm after it get a constant sequence like in the $3^{rd}$ one.
So now one has performed the algorithm two times. Thus concluding we need a polynomial of degree 2. Now let's take a random polynomial of which we need to determine the coefficients:
$$P(x)= ax{^2} + bx + c$$
We know that $P(0)= 0,P(1)= 2$and $P(2)= 5$ .
So $\begin{cases} c= 0 \\ a + b =2 \\ 4a + 2b =5\\ \end{cases}$ which gives us that $P(x)= \frac 12 x^2 + \frac 32 x  $
To rephrase my question from early on:

Why does the method of coefficients work for every the simpler sequences as stated above? Does there exist a proof of it? Please explain that proof to me?

PS.:
1) I know that it doesn't work for sequences whose solutions aren't reals or if there are multiple solutions of such a P(x). Then you need to work with generating functions.
2) I've chosen this sequence on purpose because it's the sequence to determine number of diagonals of a convex polygon. Just for those who wondered about it.

Antoine ''Fats'' Domino, one of the earliest pioneers of rock and roll, has made a dramatic comeback to the national scene with a series of live concert appearances, a cable-TV presentation and the release of two music videos.
The 57-year-old piano-pounder with the haunting, plaintive tenor voice emerged out of the New Orleans rhythm and blues scene in the late l940s. By the time of his first rock and roll hit, ''Ain`t That A Shame'' (l955), Domino was already a successful recording artist in the R & B market.
Though Domino was one of the heaviest hitters in the first rock and roll era, most histories gloss over his achievements in favor of better known `50s rockers. Yet Domino`s records have sold well over 65 million copies, more than any of his contemporaries, except Elvis Presley.
On June 5 Cinemax taped ''Fats Domino and Friends,'' an hour-long session recorded at Storyville Jazz Hall in New Orleans. The band is led by Domino`s old sidekick Dave Bartholomew, while the ''friends'' include Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis and Ron Wood. The show is slated for airing Friday.
In the `60s and `70s, Domino was typecast as an oldies act, a nostalgic guy playing the hits from yesteryear. But this tour is anything but a period piece, offering some of the most intense live rock and roll of the year.
Domino`s rock and roll is a classic form. Like blues, zydeco or traditional folk music, it`s a living medium that continually replenishes itself. Even though he`s been playing some of the material in his act for close to 30 years, it still sounds fresh and vibrant.
At a July 3 performance in Yankee Stadium, Domino proved how much energy his rock and roll can still unleash. After a 3 1/2-hour baseball game and another half-hour of fireworks, more than two-thirds of a crowd of 43,000 stayed on to hear Domino perform.
''Blueberry Hill,'' the crowd stood on its collective feet and swayed to the music. People danced in the aisles, some of them waving giant inflatable baseball bats as they gyrated.
The scene was reminiscent of the ''rock riots'' of the `50s. At a 1956 Domino concert in San Jose, Calif., an exhilarated audience of 2,500 literally tore the place apart, a riot that made national headlines and prompted a ban of rock and roll shows in that city.
Domino`s music is a logical extension of the rich musical tradition of New Orleans, a vein which has run through popular music in the 20th Century. His father was a violinist and his uncle, Harry Verette, played in the famous Dixieland groups of Edward ''Kid'' Ory and Oscar Celestin.
As a teenager, Domino took a day job at a bedspring factory and worked in trumpeter Dave Bartholomew`s popular dance band at night. Domino suffered an industrial accident at the factory that severely damaged his hands. Doctors told him he would never play again, but two years later he was back playing the piano in Bartholomew`s band.
Bartholomew and Domino came up with an arrangement strategy that was an early precursor of rock and roll. In 1949, Imperial records scored a hit with ''The Fat Man,'' Domino`s first single. The record sold over 800,000 copies in the first year and made Domino the most popular performer in New Orleans.
Domino`s career waned in the 1960s even though he released the excellent LP ''Fats Is Back'' in 1968. He has made little impression since--until now.

Digital Air Photos of B.C.
Aerial photographs, or air photos, are images taken of the ground from a high altitude. Air photos are used for a variety of applications, such as viewing an area over time and noting the changes in land use.
The provincial government has over 2.5 million air photos of British Columbia, dating back to 1936. To date, about 500,000 air photos have been scanned from film into digital format. The B.C. Government is continuing to convert historical air photos into a digital format so they can be accessed online.
Aerial photographs are exposed at various altitudes using a variety of conventional and digital cameras, providing overlapping (stereo) coverage of the ground.
Most areas of British Columbia are covered by air photos that are less than ten years old, with large areas covered by medium scale photography.
Black and white aerial photography is available for all of B.C. at a variety of scales and, in some areas, dating back more than fifty years. Colour aerial photography is becoming increasingly available for more areas of the province.
Pre-acquisition
Before planning an aerial survey, fill out the necessary information on this form:

A photographic scale indicates that one unit of distance on an air photo is a representation of a specific number of the same units of actual ground distance. Scales can be expressed as a:
Unit equivalent (e.g. 1 cm = 200 m)
Representative fraction (e.g. 1/20,000)
Ratio (e.g. 1:20,000)
The scale range for block aerial photography is 1:10,000 to 1:70,000. The scale range of site-specific aerial photography is from 1:2,500 to 1:50,000. Not all scales are available for all areas.
A large scale photo (e.g. 1:2,500) means that ground features appear larger and more detailed. The area of ground coverage depicted on a large scale photo is less than at a smaller scale.
A small scale photo (e.g. 1:70,000) means that ground features appear smaller and less detailed. The area of ground coverage depicted on a small scale photo is more than at a larger scale.
The scale of the photography varies, depending on the height of the aircraft above the ground and the focal length of the camera used. Over mountainous terrain, the scale can vary considerably within each photo.
Stereo pairs are available for purchase by engineering and resource professionals for mapping and interpretive purposes. Some clients may be interested in a complete, but not necessarily stereo, picture of an area.

Yesterday I told you why I love to give –and get — a book for a holiday gift. Today I want to talk about the kinds of books you give to others.
The type of reader is as diverse and sundry as the genres of books available. From autobiographies to YA, from biographies to Military history. From Cookbooks to Craft books; True Crime and Murder to Cozy mysteries. And of course, my favorite, Romance. Within each of those genres are several subgenres and to find the perfect book for the book reader on your list, you need to wade through all the varieties, skip over some of the styles, and comb through all the different classifications of each genre and subgenre.
Sounds like a lot of work, doesn't it, just to find a book. Well, it may be a little tedious, but it's sosososo worth it when you find the perfect one.
This is a very abbreviated list of the types of books I would give to my book reading peeps and family. Very abbreviated!!!
Shots rang out in Savannah's grandest mansion in the misty,early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. John Berendt's sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative reads like a thoroughly engrossing novel, and yet it is a work of nonfiction. Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case.
As I've said, this is a very abbreviated list. I could go on for pages about the best books to invest in, but time is short and money is fleeting, so….

In general, we have a tendency to make a lot of assumptions about a variety of issues. We think we know all there is to know about using drugs or how our minds work. This couldn't be further from the truth. We might know certain aspects of various subjects but unless we really apply ourselves to discovery, these can be biased to reinforcing what we already believe. Mental recovery can be very hard to achieve.
Using the experiences of freediving as a metaphor, I look at how closely it parallels mental processes and recovery from entrenched belief systems. How placing ourselves in hostile environments impacts on our survival instincts.
I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I enjoyed the discussion.

Linear regression books usually include a footnote that you might have to transform your data before you can apply regression. However, they seldom give any guidance on how to pick a transformation. Just try something until your scatterplots look linear.
John Tukey gave a nice heuristic for linearizing data in his 1977 book Exploratory Data Analysis. Tukey gives what he calls a ladder of transformations.
Try transformations in the direction of the bulge in the plot. If the plot bulges up (say your plot looks something like y=√x), then move up the ladder from the identity: try squaring or cubing the data. Or if you're going to transform x, think of the ladder as horizontal, from x3 to –x-3. If the bulge is down and to the right, either move down the y-ladder or to the right on the x-ladder.
How to know was transformation was the best? Can I use correlation to decide which transformation was better?
@ciro: You just have to plot the residuals and see which transformation makes the residuals look most normal. You could do a test for normality, but that's overkill. This sort of thing isn't rigorously justified to begin with, so there's no point getting too fussy about it.
I also write to your email, sorry for that. So you mean to plot the residual of all the transformations, and use the transformation in which the residuals look most normal?. So, as increases normality increases linearity as well?. What about using correlations. I mean, if the relationships are nonlinear, after transformations the correlations should improve. I am using path analysis; therefore, I need to work with linear relationships. Nonnormality is not a problem to me because I could fit the model with generalized least squares instead of maximum likelihod. Regards, and thanks a lot for your help.
So let me get this straight. If the plot is concave up, the y data is transformed using the bottom of the ladder. Then if it is concave down, y is transofrmed using the bottom of the ladder. If I'm thinking correctly, there is no way to know exactly which transformation to use for a set of data that needs to be transformed. We are working onthis in AP Stats now and alot of the plots we transform are indeed curved, but the correlation coefficient is .9+. Even if the correlation is high, I think that you still must linearize it if it visually does not look to be straight. I've been having trouble recently in statistics so I would really appreciate any help.
A concave situation is nice and safe. When it becomes linear, nothing is lost. A convex situation should not be linearized, because that increases fragility.
If you want to find an 'optimal' transform for something that should be normal, a box-cox normality plot is one place to start. A similar plot of correlation versus transform exponent can find a maximum for a straight-line fit.
But why linearise at all? First, an arbitrary transform is just that – arbitrary. Second, we are no longer limited to linearity. Why not use tools like generalised linear modelling that respect the distribution you have, rather than bend the data to fit a limited toolkit?

#MeToo: Know the Laws That Protect You From Sexual Assault and Harassment
By LawRato
The entire campaign has brought to light how difficult it is to raise voices against sexual harassment even in countries where there are severe laws in place to tackle harassment and assault.
Recently if you visited Twitter or Facebook, you must have seen innumerable posts with the #metoo hashtag. The world has united to raise voices against sexual assault or any form of sexual harassment.
It is a social media catharsis against those unbearable stares, unwanted touches, and repulsive comments.
The entire movement started with American actress Alyssa Milano asking women who had been sexually harassed or assaulted to publicly share their experience using the hashtag: me too.
#MeToo campaign has taken the internet by storm, over 4.7 million people are engaged in the #metoo conversation with over 12 million posts, comments, and reactions. By posting on social media both women and men from all over the world are trying to show the sheer number of those who have received unsolicited sexual attention in any form, from unwelcome groping to rape.
Most women do not report the assault because the country is straddled with bureaucratic norms. India's National Crime Records Bureau data revealed that in 2012, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India.
Notably, out of these, 24,470 were committed by parents/family, relatives, neighbours and other known persons. This leaves us with a total of 453 cases of 'stranger rape' or rape where the culprit is a stranger to the sexual assault victim/survivor. In essence, men known to the victim committed 98 percent of reported rapes. This itself is a staggering figure.
The entire campaign has brought to light how difficult it is to raise voices against sexual harassment even in countries where there are severe laws in place to tackle harassment and assault. We need to battle with the idea of everyday sexism.
If we contemplate about the state of affairs, in most of the incidences, sexual assault happens where one party exercises a certain amount of power over the other.
Quoting the famous line from the movie "Disclosure" : sexual harassment is about power not about sex.
It is now more important than ever to be aware of the rights that women have and the laws they can turn to address the rampant sexual harassment and assault.
To report an incidence it is critical to understand what comprises sexual harassment. The various kinds of acts that comprise harassment or rape at the workplace include the demand or request for sexual favours, explicit sexual overtures or physical contact and advances. With the growing popularity and use of the internet, sexual harassment can take place online too.
Here are we few laws that every woman should know which protect her from all forms of sexual violence-
Staring at a woman is an offence if it makes her feel uncomfortable even for a few seconds. Blatantly ogling a woman is characterised as an offence, thus.
Singing lewd songs or catcalling directed at women in public spaces is considered harassment under IPC Section 294. Offenders can be jailed for three months or be fined or both.
Following or stalking someone is a crime. If you follow someone with or without their knowledge it amounts to stalking and is considered as an act of sexual harassment. As per section 354(D) of IPC the man can face jail term ranging three to five years coupled with a fine.
If a woman categorically indicates her disinterest but if the person continues to ask for sexual favours he is punishable under IPC section 354(A). The offender can land in jail for one to three years or fine or both. In this case, if someone tries to threaten you with physical harm, harm to your reputation or property the offender can be imprisoned for a maximum of two years under Section 503 of IPC.
If a senior colleague demands sexual favours in exchange for work benefits, promotions or salary hikes, it is an act of sexual harassment as per Sexual Harassment of women at Workplace Act, 2013. Also, every organisation having more than 10 employees is required to have an Internal Complaints Committee. Check if your workplace has one.
Watching, capturing or sharing images of women engaging in a private act without her consent is voyeurism and is punishable under IPC Section 354 (C). Offender can face a jail term for one to three years in addition to fine. If the man is convicted a second time then he faces jail term ranging from three to seven years along with a fine. If a guy is morphing your pictures and sharing them with an intent to defame and harass you, it is a crime as per Section 499. The punishment may include jail up to two years.
Posting any obscene or defamatory material on a public online platform intending to harass a woman is a crime under Section 67 of IT Act. The accused can face jail time of two years coupled with a fine.
If you face any of the above incidences you must immediately consult a Criminal lawyer and file an FIR(First Information Report) with a local police station. When you file a case for sexual assault, you can always ask that the statement is recorded in a language you understand. If that is not possible, make sure the statement is translated and explained to you by the officer recording it.

Indigenous species
With few exceptions, most hybrid antelope occur only in captivity.
The primary demand for the industry's expansion came from the British Industrial Revolution. Today, palm oil can be found in anything from cookies and ice-cream to shampoo and air freshener, and the average Western citizen consumes over 10kg of palm oil annually.
Indigenous species Pollution caused by the burning of secondary forests across Borneo and Sumatra increases the quantity of Indigenous species gas in the atmosphere, subsequently helping to excel climate change. Native plants form plant communities and biological interactions with specific flora, fauna, fungi, and other organisms.
During this time they remain fairly inactive. Many species have ridges in their horns for at least two-thirds the length of their horns, but these ridges are not a direct indicator of age. The destruction of rainforests in Borneo and Sumatra is therefore not only a conservation emergency, but a major animal welfare crisis as well.
This increase in habitat loss and Indigenous species has promoted the poaching of tigers for the illegal supply of their body parts to international markets. Despite this high level of intelligence and similarity to humans, an estimated 6 - 12 orangutans are killed each day across Borneo and Sumatra, often in severely brutal ways.
SUNBEARS Just as deforestation and palm oil development increases the frequency of tiger poaching, it also causes animals like the sun bear to become more accessible to wildlife smugglers.
Breeding has not been observed in the field for either of these species.
Their babies are taken to be kept within a local village or sold illegally to zoos and tourism parks across Asia and other regions. While there have been few reported cases, female orangutans have also been discovered in Indonesian brothels and logging camps being used as prostitutes.
Skin A moisturizing shampoo is great for dogs with dry, flaky, skin. This either occurs during the deforestation process, or after the animal enters a village or existing palm oil plantation in search of food.
As much as possible, stick to natural ingredients. Orangutans that wander into existing palm oil plantations in search of food are considered to be agricultural pest, as they have the ability to damage oil palm crops.
These conflicts resulted in deaths of 59 tigers - a significant loss considering that only an estimated tigers remain in the wild today. Like many other herbivoresantelopes rely on keen senses to avoid predators.
Gazelles and springbok are known for their speed and leaping abilities. Government data has shown that over 50, orangutans have already died as a result of deforestation due to palm oil in the last two decades.
But the orangutan is not the only species affected by palm oil development; their situation represents the story of thousands of other species facing the same fate in South-East Asia. Instead of being able to sustain themselves, indigenous communities become reliant on the palm oil industry for their income and survival, leaving these villagers incredibly vulnerable to the world market price of palm oil which they have no control over.

Is your exercise routine fun? If not, you could be undoing your hard work by eating more calories afterward, researchers say. In two studies, people who were asked to walk for 30 minutes "for exercise" ate larger amounts of unhealthy snacks—but not of other foods—than did those who were told that the purpose of the same walk was to listen to music or sightsee. In a third study, runners who had participated in a race were given a questionnaire, then offered either a chocolate bar or a healthy cereal bar. People who reported having more fun during the race were more likely to pick the healthier choice.

How Does a Parliamentary Government Work?
A parliamentary government is a system in which the powers of the executive and legislative branches are intertwined as opposed to being held separate as a check against each other's power, as the Founding Fathers of the United States demanded in the U.S. Constitution. In fact, the executive branch in a parliamentary government draws its power directly from the legislative branch. That's because the top government official and members of his cabinet are chosen not by voters, as is the case in the presidential system in the United States, but by members of the legislature. Parliamentary governments are common in Europe and the Caribbean; they are also more common worldwide than presidential forms of government.
The method by which the head of government is chosen is the primary distinction between a parliamentary government and a presidential system. The head of a parliamentary government is chosen by the legislative branch and typically holds the title of prime minister, such is the case in the United Kingdom and Canada. In the United Kingdom, voters elect members of the British House of Commons every five years; the party that secures a majority of seats then chooses members of the executive branch cabinet and prime minister. The prime minister and his cabinet serve as long as the legislature has confidence in them. In Canada, the lead of the political party that wins the most seats in parliament becomes the prime minister.
By comparison, in a presidential system such as the one in place in the United States, voters elect members of Congress to serve in the legislative branch of government and choose the head of the government, the president, separately. The president and members of Congress serve fixed terms that are not dependent on the confidence of voters. Presidents are limited to serving two terms, but there are no terms limits for members of Congress. In fact, there is no mechanism for removal of a member of Congress, and while there are provisions in the U.S. Constitution to remove a sitting president—impeachment and the 25th Amendment—there's never been a commander-in-chief forcibly removed from the White House.
Some prominent political scientists and government observers who bemoan the level of partisanship and gridlock in some systems, most notably in the United States, have suggested adopting some elements of a parliamentary government might help solve those problems. The University of California's Richard L. Hasen raised the idea in 2013 but suggested such a change should not be undertaken lightly.
"The partisanship of our political branches and mismatch with our structure of government raise this fundamental question: Is the United States political system so broken that we should change the United States Constitution to adopt a parliamentary system either a Westminster system as in the United Kingdom or a different form of parliamentary democracy? Such a move toward unified government would allow the Democratic or Republican parties to act in a unified way to pursue a rational plan on budget reform on other issues. Voters could then hold the party in power accountable if the programs it pursued were against voter preferences. It seems a more logical way to organize politics and insure that each party will have a chance to present its platform to the voters, to have that platform enacted, and to allow voters at the next election to pass on how well the party has managed the country.
Walter Bagehot, a British journalist and essayist, argued for a parliamentary system in his 1867 work The English Constitution. His primary point was that the separation of powers in government was not between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government but between what he called the "dignified" and the "efficient." The dignified branch in the United Kingdom was the monarchy, the queen. The efficient branch was everyone else who did the real work, from the prime minister and his cabinet down to the House of Commons. In that sense, such a system forced the head of government and legislators to debate policy on the same, level playing field instead of holding the prime minister above the fray.
The party in power in a parliamentary government controls the office of the prime minister and all members of the cabinet, in addition to holding enough seats in the legislative branch to pass legislation, even on the most controversial issues. The opposition party, or the minority party, is expected to be vociferous in its objection to almost everything the majority party does, and yet it has little power to impede the progress of their counterparts on the other side of the aisle. In the United States, a party can control both houses of Congress and the White House and still fail to accomplish much.
"A parliamentary system of government is preferable to a presidential system. ... The fact that a prime minister is held accountable to the legislature is a very good thing for governance. First, it means that the executive and his or her government are of a like mind with the majority of legislators, because prime ministers come from the party with a majority of seats in the parliament, usually. The gridlock evident in the United States, where the president is of a different party than the majority of Congress, is far less likely in a parliamentary system."
There are 104 countries that operate under some form of parliamentary government.
There are more than half a dozen different kinds of parliamentary governments. They operate similarly, but often have different organizational charts or names for positions.
Parliamentary republic: In a parliamentary republic, there is both a president and a prime minister, and a parliament acting as the highest legislative body. Finland operates under a parliamentary republic. The prime minister is chosen by parliament and acts as the head of government, a position responsible for directing the activities of the many federal agencies and departments. The president is elected by voters and oversees foreign policy and the national defense; he serves as the head of state.
Parliamentary democracy: In this form of government, voters choose representatives in regular elections. One of the largest parliamentary democracies is Australia, though its position is unique. While Australia is an independent nation, it shares a monarchy with the United Kingdom. Queen Elizabeth II serves as the head of state, and she appoints a governor-general. Australia also has a prime minister.
Federal parliamentary republic: In this form of government, the prime minister serves as the head of government; he is chosen by the parliaments at the national and state levels, such as the system in Ethiopia.
Federal parliamentary democracy: In this form of government, the party with the greatest representation controls the government and the office of prime minister. In Canada, for example, the Parliament is made up of three parts: the Crown, the Senate and the House of Commons. For a bill to become law, it must go through three readings followed by Royal Assent.
Self-governing parliamentary democracy: This is similar to a parliamentary democracy; the difference is that the nations using this form of government are often colonies of another, larger country. The Cook Islands, for example, operate under a self-governing parliamentary democracy; the Cook Islands were a colony of New Zealand and now have what is called a "free association" with the larger nation.
Parliamentary constitutional monarchy: In this form of government, a monarch serves as a ceremonial head of state. Their powers are limited; the real power in a parliamentary constitutional monarchy rests with the prime minister. The United Kingdom is the best example of this form of government. The monarch and head of state in the United Kingdom is Queen Elizabeth II.
Federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy: In the only instance of this government, Malaysia, a monarch serves as the head of state and a prime minister serves as the head of government. The monarch is a king who serve as the "paramount ruler" of the land. The two houses of the parliament consist of one that is elected and one that is non-elected.
Parliamentary democratic dependency: In this form of government, the head of state appoints a governor to oversee the executive branch of a country that is dependent on the homeland. The governor is the head of government and woks with a cabinet appointed by a premier. A legislature is elected by voters. Bermuda is one example of a parliamentary democratic dependency. Its governor is not elected by voters but appointed by the queen of England. Bermuda is an overseas territory of the United Kingdom.

Black Ice (book)
Congelation ice
Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, refers to a thin coating of glaze ice on a surface, especially on roads. The ice itself is not black, but virtually transparent, allowing the often black road below to be seen through it. The typically low levels of noticeable ice pellets, snow, or sleet surrounding black ice means that areas of the ice are often practically invisible to drivers or persons stepping on it. There is, thus, a risk of skidding and subsequent accident due to the unexpected loss of traction. A similar problem is encountered with diesel fuel spills on roads.
The term black ice in the United States is often incorrectly used to describe any type of ice that forms on roadways, even when standing water on roads turns to ice as the temperature falls below freezing. Correctly defined, black ice is formed on relatively dry roads, rendering it invisible to drivers. It occurs when in the textures present in all pavements very slightly below the top of the road surface contain water or moisture, thereby presenting a dry surface to tires until that water or moisture freezes and expands; drivers then find they are riding above the road surface on a honeycombed invisible sheet of ice.

Congelation ice is ice that forms on the bottom of an established ice cover.
On seawater, congelation ice is ice that forms on the bottom of an established sea ice cover, usually in the form of platelets which coalesce to form solid ice.
Only the water freezes to ice, the salt from the seawater is concentrated into brine, some of which is contained in pockets in the new ice. Due to the brine pockets, congelation ice on seawater is neither as hard nor as transparent as fresh water ice.
On the surface of lakes, or other bodies of still freshwater, congelation ice is often called black Ice. This ice has frozen without many air bubbles trapped inside, making it transparent. Its transparency reveals the colour, usually black, of the water beneath it, hence the name. This is in contrast to snow ice, sometimes called slush ice, which is formed when slush (water saturated snow) refreezes. Snow ice is white due to the presence of air bubbles.
Black ice grows downward from the bottom of the existing ice surface. The growth rate of the ice is proportional to the rate that heat is transferred from the water below the ice surface to the air above the ice surface. The total ice thickness can be approximated from Stefan's equation.

Please wear face cover: IATA appeals to air passengers
While airlines are looking at a safe restart of operations, there have been reports of a few passengers refusing to wear face cover during the flight, IATA emphasises the need for passengers to comply with the recommendation.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is appealing to all travelers to wear face covering during the travel journey for the safety of all passengers and crew during Covid-19.
Wearing face coverings is a key recommendation of the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) guidance for safe operations during the pandemic, as developed jointly with the World Health Organization and governments. IATA is emphasising the need for passengers to comply with the recommendation following recent reports of travellers refusing to wear a face covering during a flight. While this is confined to a very small number of individuals, some on-board incidents have become violent, resulting in costly and extremely inconvenient diversions to offload these passengers.
"This is a call for common sense and taking responsibility. The vast majority of travellers understand the importance of face covering both for themselves as well as for their fellow passengers, and airlines appreciate this collective effort. But a small minority creates problems. Safety is at the core of aviation, and compliance with crew safety instructions is the law. Failure to comply can jeopardise a flight's safety, disrupt the travel experience of other passengers and impact the work environment for crew," said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA's Director General and CEO.
IATA points out that a plane ticket is a contract under which the passenger agrees to the airline's terms and conditions of carriage. Those conditions can include the airline's right to refuse carriage to a person whose behavior interferes with a flight, violates government regulations or causes other passengers to feel unsafe. Airlines also highlight the need to wear a face covering during the booking process, at check-in, at the gate and in onboard announcements. Failure to comply means that a passenger faces the risk of being offloaded from their flight, restrictions on future carriage or penalties under national laws.
According to tests at the University of Edinburgh, face covering, when properly worn, can cut the forward spread of potential Covid-19 droplets from the mouth by 90 per cent.
"The research we have seen to date, and our own investigations with the world's airlines, tell us that the risk of catching Covid-19 on a flight remains very low. There appears to be a number of factors supporting that. The high flow rate of cabin air from top to bottom, constant filtering of air through state-of-the-art HEPA filters, the fact that all seats face the same direction and of course wearing a face covering and sanitization of the aircraft all play a part," said IATA's Medical Advisor, David Powell.
"This is not just about protecting yourself. It's about protecting everyone else on the flight," he said.

Reforming the CAP
Is a Jaffa Cake a cake or a biscuit? Is Dolmio a soup or a vegetable? I suspect that most of us don't really care but the European Parliament has hours of fun arguing over issues like this, usually because how such products are defined can affect VAT or taxes of some sort.
As long ago as the 70's, James Callaghan bemoaned the fact that he was tired of going to Brussels to argue about the size of rear view tractor mirrors. Earlier this summer I was elected to the select committee on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and last week we went to Brussels for a briefing ahead of an Inquiry we are about to launch into CAP reform.
The Common Agricultural Policy takes up about 43 percent of the EU's total budget. For as long I can remember, the CAP has always been followed by the word "reform" when discussed which suggests that changing it is a slow process indeed. In the early days the CAP was seen as a success, ending the shortage of food in the aftermath of the war but then it came under fire for creating so called "butter mountains" and for a controversial market support mechanism which distorted world trade.
In the 1990s it was slowly reformed and market support systems were taken away and direct subsidy payments were paid to farmers instead. Finally, ten years ago the direct subsidy payments made to farmers were switched to a simpler "single farm payment" based on land area rather than what was being produced on the land to discourage intensive farming. More support also went into schemes to enhance the environment and wildlife.
But guess what? Now people are worried that we don't have enough food again. The butter mountains are long gone. With a rising world population, food security has become a pressing issue and farmers, who have often been derided as subsidy junkies, are suddenly needed again. One of the most fascinating statistics I came across last week was that 35 percent of farmers are over 65 years of age and only 7 percent are under 40. What happens in twenty years time? I think we need to do more to support and encourage young farmers in Britain today.
I have long held that the expansion of the European Union from the original 12 member states to 27 means that we need to significantly streamline the role of the EU. It is currently a failing institution and has become so big that the countries can rarely agree and struggle to get anything done. There are two possible solutions to this problem. The solution favoured by the European Commission is to undermine the power of member states even more and centralise power. But a better solution is to cut back the role of the EU so that it does much less but does what it does much more efficiently. We will find out in the year ahead how strong the mood for change is.
Let's regenerate Hayle
Really big decisions are always difficult, usually contentious and often divisive. The easy thing for a politician to do is keep their head down and try not to get involved. But the right thing to do is to study the detail, exercise judgement and do what's in the best interests of the people you represent.
I grew up near Hayle and my family have lived in the area for over four hundred years. We have seen the town built from scratch and parts of it fall back down again. All my lifetime they have talked about regenerating Hayle Harbour but, over the years, too many people have bottled the big decisions and so nothing has happened. I want that to change.
If it was easy to regenerate Hayle then it would have been done years ago. It isn't easy so we need to be prepared to compromise to get a result. We should also respect differing views. Earlier this summer the Mayor of Hayle, John Bennett, was criticised for expressing a personal opinion at odds with the Town Council. I didn't agree with that criticism. People should be free to say what they think. I respect John Bennett and weighed up his arguments carefully before reaching my own conclusion.
There are four rival plans for a supermarket in Hayle. Three are out of town and one, the ING proposal, would be in the centre at the Foundry end of South Quay with restaurants and other mixed development on the rest of the quay. I think that out of town supermarkets have done a lot of damage over the last twenty years. So if we are going to have a supermarket in Hayle, then let's at least put it where it will bring new life in to the town rather than bleed more life away from the town. The South Quay proposal would be connected in the most literal sense possible with a footbridge over the harbour to Biggleston's, one of Hayle's oldest shops.
If all these supermarkets want to locate in Hayle, I also feel strongly that we should demand something in return. That is why I pushed to get serious negotiators on the other side of the table from ING early this summer. It is also why I have insisted that a community cinema should be part of the plan because Councillor Bob Amos' Pioneerium project is the brightest idea to come out of Hayle for years.
The ING option on South Quay gives Hayle at least £6 million more than any rival plan because it repairs the harbour walls and delivers the necessary flood defences before anything can happen at all. I have nothing against Morrison's, Sainsbury's or ASDA. Each has something different to offer and any one of them could locate on South Quay. They should start thinking about this now. Hayle was built by people with the courage to take big decisions. Now it's our turn, so let's seize the day.
