The laid-back appeal of our Summer Flow tunic - the clue's in the name - is thanks to its soft, drapey jersey fabric. We've added floral-print borders that flatter your figure and a drawstring front to pull in your waist.
Summer Flow Jersey Tunic is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 64.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Espocita from Lovely top BUT... So disappointed of the quality, wore once and already torn?!! I cut off the large labels and I can't return, very upsetting, White Stuff needs to up the quality to what it used to be.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alysclare from Super comfy tunic Bought the yellow and green one a while ago . Very pleased with it. Lots of compliments and has washed well. Bought the Red one in the sale as I like this style so much. Great for work with leggings as I'm a teacher with the reception age children.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paula51 from Smart casual I bought the multi coloured top and it isn't great for summer over crops or jeans. Nice loose fit so ideal for the summer. Good length on me as I'm tall, shame there weren't any other colours available in my size as I'd love more especially with the sale price, bargain!
Rated 3 out of 5 by snowflakes from Pretty top Unfortunately this tunic was not for me so had to return it. I'm sure would suit other shapes and sizes!
Rated 4 out of 5 by Helen F from Love the fabric but prone to tearing Love the style and fabric but have had 2 and both have torn / laddered at the neck seam (below button opening) on first wearing. Nice design and print though.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jantee123 from Comfy top Bought this online and tried it on at home, fits and is so comfy, always love White Stuff clothes, will definitely recommend this top for holiday wear as you could wear it all day and enjoy the weather too.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lin5y from Looks good I bought this because it looked so attractive and it is! However it seemed to come up quite loose and I wondered if I should have bought 10 rather than 12. I had to tighten draw string at front. I decided that after that it looked good and that I would stick with 10.

Van Gogh Museum: Preview of exhibitions in 2018
Opening hours & tickets
The exhibition Van Gogh & Japan will be available to visitors from 23 March 2018 – 24 June 2018 at the Van Gogh Museum
Japanese art that influenced Van Gogh
Demonstration of how Van Gogh bent Japanese examples to his will
Available from the 23rd of March 2018 after display in Tokyo and Kyoto
23 March – 24 June 2018
Van Gogh & Japan will shed light on the influence exerted by Japanese art on Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh created his own image of Japan by studying and reading about Japanese art, collecting and copying prints, and discussing their aesthetic qualities with other artists. His encounter with Japanese prints helped him to give his work a new direction.
The exhibition will demonstrate, step by step, how Van Gogh bent the Japanese example to his will. In this way he defined himself as a modern artist and positioned himself opposite such artists as Emile Bernard and Paul Gauguin. The size, nature and importance of Van Gogh's own collection of Japanese prints will be explored in detail, as will the role played by his prints in the renewal of his own idiom.
The exhibition Van Gogh & Japan opens on 26 August 2017 in the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art in Sapporo, after which it will travel to Tokyo (Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum) and Kyoto (The National Museum of Modern Art). The show will open in Amsterdam on 23 March 2018

What on earth is happening to Samsung mobile technology? This question has frequently been asked in similar ways by samsung mobile users. First it was the Note 7 catastrophic, which hasn't been fixed yet, and now the almighty Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has encountered severe issue that can be termed as a nightmare. Recently, a news circulated around the globe that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge now has a strange and non-removable vertical pink line across its screen. Now the question is, how come does this strange pink line suddenly starts displaying in almost all Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge smartphones (if not all).
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge users reported that the line turned up without the device experiencing any physical damage like drop of the device. While the complaints is still circulating, other users of the device have found temporary repairs and management to the issue like implementing the use of inputting *#0*# dialed on the smartphone's dial pad and then proceed by pressing the Red, Green, and Blue levels. According to the user's experience, the above action is responsible for the repairs of any faulty pixels of the screen.
An alternative method was also observed that whenever the vertical pink line displays on the screen, it can be temporarily erased by acting pressure on the screen by pressing your thumb to the screen with little force to avoid screen damage. All these observations i've said so far are all in the video below; i've watched it, so why don't you do the same?
Samsung are aware of this issue and has urge all users to bring their faulty Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge showing vertical pink line for repairs under warranty provided the smartphone has not been attacked by other physical threat. Meanwhile Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge are at the door step waiting for them to be unleashed by the company.

Balboa Park - A Taste of Escape in Sunny San Diego
Home > CME Travel News > Balboa Park - A Taste of Escape in Sunny San Diego
San Diego, California is one of the most popular cities in the country, known for its gorgeous Pacific Ocean beaches, sunny weather and surfing, among other attractions. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the country as well as the second largest city in the state of California, next to Los Angeles. One must-see during a visit to San Diego is Balboa Park.
Balboa Park is an urban cultural park located in the heart of the city and stretching 1,200 acres. Balboa Park is registered on U.S. National Register of Historic Places and is San Diego's #1 historic landmark. The park is full of green spaces and mature, unique trees. The urban forest space is largely the work of a plantsman named Kate Sessions. Kate Sessions, also known as the "Mother of Balboa Park," was an avid gardener and horticulturist. She was born in San Francisco in 1857 and moved to San Diego in 1883. Sessions opened a nursery and owned a flower shop as well as fields. In 1892, Sessions reached a deal with the city of San Diego to lease 30 acres of land, where Balboa Park is today. In exchange for use of the land to grow her nurseries, she agreed to plant 100 trees a year within the park and 300 trees around other areas of the city as well. Prior to her engagement with the land, Balboa Park was almost completely barren. Thanks to her work, she imported and planted plant species from around the world. Her trees can still be seen thriving within the park today.
In addition to green spaces, walking trails and gardens, Balboa Park boasts a number of attractions, including theaters, museums and the renowned San Diego Zoo. Museums located within Balboa Park include the Centro Cultural de la Raza, San Diego Air & Space Museum, San Diego Automotive Museum, San Diego Hall of Champions and Veterans Museum & Memorial Center in addition to many others. Balboa Park offers an Explorer Pass, allowing you admission into the many museums within the park to maximize your experience.
The park also offers visitors shopping and dining options during their time in the park. The San Diego Zoo is one of the most notable attractions inside the park, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with nearly 660 species of animals. For more information on purchasing tickets and planning a trip to the San Diego Zoo, click here. When visiting San Diego, Balboa Park is a park that you won't want to miss!

The filibuster and environmental law
The filibuster in the U.S. Senate has been (rightfully) in the news quite a bit over the past few years. The use of the filibuster has dramatically increased in those years, to the point where there is currently a de facto 60-vote supermajority requirement to pass legislation in the Congress. That has led to a number of commentators (not all of them on the left) arguing that the filibuster has led to dysfunctionality in Washington, and that filibuster reform is one of the most important elements of any effort to fix what might (or might not) be broken in Washington. The group Common Cause recently even filed a lawsuit challenging the filibuster as unconstitutional.
From the perspective of environmental law, is the filibuster a bad thing? Dave Roberts at Grist claims that it is, because it more or less stopped the passage of the Waxman-Markey bill that would have regulated carbon emissions. I think that Roberts is probably right that Waxman-Markey would likely have passed in some form that could have been reconciled with the House bill if it had only needed 50 votes to pass.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that the existence of the filibuster is all bad from the perspective of environmental law. A quick comparison with Canada makes this clear. Canada's political system, as a parliamentary one, provides much fewer obstacles to the enactment of legislation: The majority party in Parliament can pretty much enact what it wants; the legislature is effectively unicameral (the Canadian Senate rarely obstructs lower house legislation); there is no independently elected executive who can veto legislation. That makes it relatively easy to enact legislation – say, a hypothetical carbon tax. But it also makes it relatively easy to repeal legislation – as recent efforts by the Tories to amend Canadian environmental laws show. (Our readers in Canada should correct me in the comments if I am wrong about any of this.)
So which is better? A system with high legislative inertia, such as the United States, where legislation is hard to enact but hard to repeal? Or a system like Canada's, where legislation is easy to enact and repeal? One possible answer is that, for environmental law, high inertia is a good thing. If you think that certain kinds of environmental harm are irreversible or at least extremely costly to remedy (think of species extinction), then short-lived environmental protections are pretty much the same thing as no environmental protection at all. Once the environmentally protective law is repealed and development occurs, reinstating the environmentally protective law later won't do much good (you can't bring back an extinct species). In fact, if you think that having laws on the books that look environmentally protective, but in fact don't do much at all, is problematic (perhaps because it deceives voters and the public), then environmentally protective laws that come and go might be worse than having no environmentally protective laws at all. In the former case, you have the same level of environmental harm, but the public may not understand what is occurring because at least some of the time there are protective laws on the books; in the latter case, at least we're clear about what kinds of protection are or are not occurring.
Now, whether this kind of "truth in legislation" principle in environmental law outweighs the costs that high inertia imposes on the ability of a political system to respond to new environmental harms (e.g., climate change!) is a hard question. But I do think it means that from an environmental protection perspective, whether a supermajority requirement is a bad thing isn't obvious. Certainly, if we have President Romney in January 2013 and Republicans hold majorities (but not supermajorities) in both the Senate and the House, the filibuster might be seen as very environmentally friendly. Without that supermajority requirement, a bunch of environmental laws might get repealed or gutted in a short amount of time; and even if President Hilary Clinton storms to power in 2016 with massive Democratic majorities and reenacts all those laws, the interim environmental damage that might occur could be irreversible.

The independence that isolated the ex-director of the FBI
He led the FBI at his own pace and according to his own rules. But on the night of his dismissal, James Comey found that a single man and his rigid principles of independence can not transform a political world governed by tradition and loyalties.
"Independent, first and foremost, independent." Agent Frank Montoya Junior defines him as Efe, having worked almost a year with him in Washington while advising the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and before Comey himself appointed him head of the branch of the Federal Bureau of Defense. Investigations (FBI) in Seattle.
Montoya also defines the former FBI as a person of "deep integrity" who was tied to his solid principles to guide his actions in the face of any political turbulence.
Repeatedly before Congress and the press, Comey boasted of integrity and independence, virtues that made him go so far as to refuse on one occasion to play basketball with former President Barack Obama for fear of appearing too close To the man who appointed him to the position.
Nevertheless, his character gradually isolated him and his decisions created enemies in different corners of Washington, even within the White House.
During a dinner this week, President Donald Trump asked Comey to "swear allegiance," a request that the former FBI rejected, and promised that he would always be "honest" with He insisted that it would not be "reliable" in the political sense of the term.
For his part, Trump denies that version of the facts and, in an interview on Fox News, said that at no time asked for "loyalty" to the then director of the FBI.
"He dismissed Comey because he is independent.He was not going to surrender to his feet.It is the idea of honesty versus fidelity.Comey is all for honesty, he is a sincere person, always.His honesty is for the Constitution and that is for What Trump fired him that way, "Montoya told Efe.
To avoid political influence, FBI agents only swear allegiance to the US Constitution, not a president, and in addition, the heads of the agency have a mandate of ten years to be able to exercise their position beyond the maximum of eight years Consecutive for the same president of the USA.
However, in his attempts to remain independent, Comey reaped the rejection of Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
It was first Republicans who criticized Comey for that press conference on July 5, 2016 in which he announced that Hillary Clinton, then White House candidate, would not face charges for his use of a private mail server for Official affairs when she was Secretary of State (2009-2013).
Months later, Democrats charged Comey for sending a notice to Congress, eleven days before the Nov. 8 election, to announce a new investigation into Clinton's mail, a decision that changed the narrative of the the bell.
When he began his career as head of the FBI, in 2013, Comey had the support of Democrats and Republicans. But the opening of Clinton's post office investigation created him "enemies" in Washington, a "bitter" city, full of political calculations and much more divided after the election, according to Montoya.
The last pillar left to Comey in his last months as head of the FBI were his own agents. In his farewell letter, he acknowledged that he would "deeply" miss his colleagues and said, "In times of turmoil, the American people must see the FBI as a rock of competition, honesty, and independence."
The White House says Comey lost the support of the "highest ranks and base" of the FBI, but Montoya denies it and says he had the "respect and admiration" of all agents.
Montoya describes "Jim" Comey as a "very warm" person who used to surprise his agents with phone calls to congratulate them on a police operation that had worked out well, for an investigation that had made its way to the courts or even by birth Of a son.
"Jim would call them on the phone and people, when he took off, would not believe it, they did not think the FBI director was calling them." There's a lot of fun stories, like a mechanic we had in Seattle and he hung up because he thought It was a joke, "says Montoya.
Faced with that portrait, in a statement to the newspaper "Politician," a Justice Department official said Comey was more concerned about protecting his image than defending the credibility of the FBI, an attitude that, in his view, has caused damage " Huge "and" permanent "wounds in the agency.
"He seemed to think that what was good for him was good for the institution, that's ridiculous," said the government official.
Now, Comey is with his wife and friends, according to Montoya, who has spoken with his closest circle. "It will take some time, he is a human being and he has been injured, especially since he can not be part of the FBI, which is something he loved. He is with his family now, he will be well, he is a survivor."

A record breaking typhoon season is pounding Okinawa's economy.
Twenty-four typhoons have swept across the northwest Pacific this season, with ten paying Okinawa a visit.
Four of those visitors were in September, causing the local economy to lose ground. October's statistics will undoubtedly be worse, as additional typhoons hit.
Ryukyu Bank's Economics Investigations Section reports tourism industries were most heavily hit as tourists fled the island, with sightseeing related business falling 22.6%, and hotels dropping 14.7%. Golf courses suffered losses of 6.4%.
Day to day businesses were hurt too. Department store sales down 2.5% and supermarket revenues dropped 5.3% in September. Heavily hit too were building construction, down 12.1% and construction work, down 9.7%.
The only bright spot in the economic picture was a modest 2.9% increase in electronic goods sales, perhaps because people were pushed inside by the storms.
Typhoon Chaba, called the strongest storm to hit Okinawa in years, was first to strike in September, followed by Songda, Sarika (a singing bird) and Meari. Songda, named for a river in northwest Vietnam, swept past Okinawa and on to mainland Japan, where it killed 24 and injured more than 700.
While the economy felt the storms, the human toll was light on Okinawa, and physical damage was also limited. The labor losses, together with the tourists who either fled or stayed away, caused the cutbacks. October's continuing typhoons will further impact economic statements, but there's good news too.
JTA company has announced it will fly 172 charter flights during the month-long period beginning November 9th, bringing more than 3,300 tourists to Okinawa. Winter is a popular time for mainland Japanese, particularly from Hokkaido and other colder climates, to visit Okinawa. For them, sun beats snow every day.

Rebel Lives: José Carlos Mariátegui
José Carlos Mariátegui was born in Perú in 1894. While his father was of an old, elite family, José Carlos was raised in relative poverty by his mother and grandparents. Having had very little schooling, Mariátegui was apprenticed as a printer's assistant at age 15. From these humble beginnings, he would go on to become a leader of the Socialist movement in Perú during a time when crucial political questions were playing out across the globe.
In the early 20th Century saw rebellion across Perú. The growing working class launched mass strike movements in 1912 and 1918 for the 8-hour working day. In 1919 there were mass protests against food shortages caused by WWI. There were rural uprisings of the indigenous people, such as the 1915 uprising against landlords that briefly declared an independent Indigenous state. In the same period, a student movement demanding reform of the medieval, elitist universities was launched from Argentina and spread across South America. These student movements converged with workers struggles, and later established popular universities where workers attended free lectures.
It is during this period that Mariátegui began to write. While apprenticed with El Tiempo, Mariátegui began publishing satirical columns under the pseudonym "Juan Coniquer." founded two journals with other young intellectuals, first Nuestra época (1918) and then La Razón (1919). A 1919 article in La Razón criticizing Augusto Leguia, who had seized power in a military coup, saw Mariátegui and Razón co-founder Cesar Falcón threatened with arrest. Given a choice between prison or work abroad, the pair chose the latter.
"I lived more than two years in Italy," Mariátegui would later write "where I married a woman and some ideas." The woman was Ana Chiappe, with whom he had four children. The ideas were sparked by what he witnessed in Italy: the Biennio Rosso (two red years), which saw factory and land occupations across Italy, the split between the Italian Communist Party and the Socialist Party, and the rise of Mussolini's Fascists. Inspired by the writings of figures like Antonio Gramsci, Mariátegui became a committed Marxist. Together with other exiles he formed the first Perúvian Communist cell. A committed revolutionary who believed in the agency of the working class, Mariátegui wrote that "Marxism has never obeyed a passive and rigid determinism in those moments when it has been revolutionary – that is, in those moments when it has been Marxism."
In 1923, Mariátegui returned to Perú and threw himself into political work among newly flourishing radical currents. He co-founded the paper Claridad with Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre – former leader of the student protests and the founder of nationalist, anti-imperialist American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA). Mariátegui engaged in struggle, wrote prolifically and became one of the most popular lecturers at the People's University. In 1928 he became the leader of the Perúvian Socialist Party.
Mariátegui's writing was pioneering. In Seven Essays on Perúvian Reality Mariátegui brought Marxist analysis to bear on the history of Perú, from Spain's conquest of the Inca, to the War of Independence and Perú's subsequent subordination to the UK and then the USA. Perúvian Reality paints a picture of what Trotsky called "combined and uneven development": On the sierra, gamonales (large landowners) exploited the largely indigenous rural population in near-feudal conditions, while industrial capitalism developed on the coast. Mariátegui believed that the gamonales exercised a conservative influence, blocking the progress of indigenous rights and keeping the local bourgeoisie backward and politically feeble.
Perúvian Reality was written partly in response to Haya de la Torre and APRA, who were looking to the local bourgeoisie to lead anti-imperialist struggles. This echoed the line of the Communist International, which held that in colonial and semi-colonial countries a bourgeois revolution was necessary before the working classes could rise up. In his Thesis on the Racial Question, Mariátegui countered that "anti-imperialism, even if it could mobilise the nationalist bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie on the side of the worker and peasant masses… does not annul class antagonisms nor suppress different class interests." Instead, Mariátegui pinned his hopes on the revolutionary potential of the working class, rejecting the project of creating a "Latin American Kuomintang." (The Chinese Communists had been directed by the Comintern to liquidate into the bourgeois-nationalist Kuomintang party with disastrous consequences.)
In 1929 the Comintern rejected this thesis, which Mariáteguihad hoped to take to the first Latin American Communist Conference. That same year, Mariátegui struggled to account for the exile of Trotsky. "Without vigilant criticism", he observed in his article on Trotsky's exile, "the Soviet government would probably run the risk of falling into a formalist, mechanical bureaucracy." Like many of his contemporaries, Mariátegui did not realise the full implications of Trotsky's exile, nor how far the bureaucratisation of the Party had already progressed.
During this period, Mariátegui was not in good health. Complications from a childhood injury led him to have a leg amputated in 1924. He believed that he could have recovered with "a restful existence," but as "neither my poverty nor my spiritual restlessness permitted it" he had ongoing health issues. In March 1930 he was taken to Lima hospital, where he died in April, aged 36. While he was unwell, the then-head of the Comintern in South America, Eudocio Ravinés, assumed leadership of the Perúvian Socialist Party.
At Mariátegui's funeral tens of thousands of Perúvians lined the streets. In the decades after his death Mariátegui was disparaged by Soviet historians for "populism" and "romanticism." Attempts were made to bury his legacy. In the 1960s and 70s he was rediscovered, and has been claimed by a variety of political and intellectual currents. For our tradition, Mariátegui represents the power of Marxism when applied by an original and insightful thinker to their own context – a Marxism coming from the heart of local struggles and committed to the international revolution.

Q: Insert Data from a Temp Table into Multiple Joined Tables I'd to here some opinions on what the best approach for the following would be.
I've imported some data from a client into a temp table, cleaned it up, and now need to insert the new records into to our system.
The client has internal and external locations, each has different information stored about them but in some instances (reporting or assigning items) all locations should be treated as just a location the type (internal or external) is not important.
I have 4 tables:

*

*Temp_Table - containing the data from the client about external locations

*Locations - containing the a Location ID, update time etc. This links to the other location tables depending on the type of location

*Internal Locations

*External Locations
Locations table contains -

*

*Location_ID int PK

*?External_Location_ID? int

*?Internal_Location_ID? int

*other irrelevant info

External Locations table contains

*

*External_Location_ID int PK

*?Location_ID?

*other irrelevant info

Question 1
Is it best to have ?External_Location_ID? in the Locations table OR to store the ?Location_ID? in the External_Locations table? This will always be a 1 to 1 relationship and indexed.
Question 2
I now want to get the data from the temp table into the external locations table and the locations table, one table will have to reference the other.
This would be easy to do looping through the table one row at a time by using cursors (which I won't use) or a while loop but is there a more effective way from a clean coding point of view an performance.
Could I:

*

*loop through with a while statement and insert each row probably via a stored procedure

*Do something with a function like Select my_Insert_Func(Val_1, Val_2, Val_3) From #Temp_Table; then return 0 or 1 on the function. I've never tried to use a function to insert data and it seems to be 'wrong' I think of functions as returning data but could it could and would it be better/worse than a while loop?

*Any other idea an SQL genius can come up with.
Performance isn't a massive issue with this as it will only run once a night and isn't a large data set but from experience clients 'lie', once a day becomes every 15 minutes and a small data set becomes massive, plus getting this right will allow me to carry the same theories forward.
Thanks for any replies.
PS I'm looking for a set based way if possible rather than looping

Thanks for the input guys.
@HGLEM
Useful link, all the other queries I have are set based already but as this one requires two input statements I can't think of a set based way to do this which is what I was after (just couldn't think of the term set based when writing it). That said I've just tidied up one of my queries using the Merge function in the link you sent, now much neater and easier to read, I still need to get the link into the locations table though, shame MERGE doesn't allow EXEC only DELETE, SELECT and UPDATE are allowed.
MERGE Locations_Internal AS Target
USING (select #CSVTemp.Val_1, #CSVTemp.Val_2, #CSVTEMP.Val_3, #CSVTemp.Val_4 from #CSVTemp)
    AS Source
ON (Target.Val_1 = Source.Val_1 )
WHEN MATCHED AND
        ((COALESCE(Source.Val_2, '') <> COALESCE(Target.Val_2, '')
        OR COALESCE(Source.Val_3, '') <> COALESCE(Target.Val_3, '')
        OR COALESCE(Source.Val_4, '') <> COALESCE(Target.Val_4, '')))
    THEN
        UPDATE
            SET Target.Val_1= Source.Val_1,
                Target.Val_2= Source.Val_2,
                Target.Val_4= Source.Val_3,
                Target.Val_5= Source.Val_5,
                Target.Row_Updated = GETDATE()
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
    INSERT(Val_1, Val_2, Val_3, Val_4, Row_Updated)
    VALUES(Source.Val_1, Source.Val_2, Source.Val_3, Source.Val_4, GETDATE());

A: converted the comments in an answer.
Question 1: what your queries will be? If you (most likely) will know the location and then want to know the external location of that location, then put the FK in the location table. if instead you will happen to know the external location and will want to know the corresponding location, do the opposite.
Question 2: you don't need "functions", just a couple of SQL INSERT instructions (in a transaction). It will take records from the temp table and insert them in the destination table(s).
If you describe exacly the tables, someone will give you the right query for you.

A: Assumption: External_Location_Id and Internal_Location_Id will never match.
If the above assumption is true then you can consolidate this to just LocationId.
Looping Inside Stored Proc:
I have done this by using LABELS and GOTO and it works great!
Here's a code stub
CREATE PROCEDURE spProcessClientData
as
DECLARE @RecCount int
DECLARE @I int
CREAT TABLE #TempData
(
RowId int identity(1,1),
/*
ClientData1
ClientData2
ClientData3
*/
)
/*
Insert ClientData into #TempData table
The RowId identity value will be used to control looping
*/
SET @RecCount = (SELECT MAX(RowId) FROM #TempData)
SET @I = 0
WHILE @I < @RecCount
BEGIN
  SET @I = @I + 1
  GOTO DetailProcessing
  DetailProcessingReturn:
END
DROP #TempTable
RETURN
DetailProcessing:
/*
Put all the processing logic
you want to perform for each
record where @I = #TempData.RowId
When done return to the loop
using another GOTO and Label
*/
GOTO DetailProcessingReturn

This course explores how cultural practices and beliefs shape the world we live in.
In an increasingly globalized world and competitive job market, it is not readily obvious why the study of anthropology matters. Although anthropology is not directly responsible for technological breakthroughs, feats of engineering, or curing diseases, it is essential in understanding how these advancements affect people on the ground and what repercussions certain actions, policies, inventions, and developments have on the everyday lives of global citizens.
-What are some explanations for variation in human biology, cultural practice, and beliefs?
-What are the deeper meanings behind the things we do, the stories we tell, and our everyday practices?


Luca Pacioli was a Renaissance mathematician and economist from Sansepolcro.
Written around 1500, and impossible to find for five centuries, the treatise "De Ludo Scachorum" was recently uncovered at the State Archive of Gorizia.
Pacioli wrote the treatise in the vernacular during the period of his artistic and scientific collaboration with Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, Mantua and Venice. As Pacioli himself states, it is a "iocondo et alegro tractato" useful as a "schifanoia" (to steer clear of boredom); today it is also an example of mathematical and logical strategies of that time. The manuscript has aroused great interest because it contains "decisions" made in the medieval manner and others in accordance with the new a la rabiosa technique, introduced at the end of the sixteenth century.
Manuscript book on parchment − 16 × 11.5 cm − 96 pp.
De Ludo Scachorum (Circulating Stacks Edition) by Aboca Museum.
Full-size color reproduction of the entire original document, De Ludo Scachorum: the facsimile attempts to replicate the look-and-feel and physical features of the original document; pages are trimmed according to the original format; the binding might not be consistent with the current document binding.
Facsimile on special laid paper, presented in an elegant protective case together with commentary volume.
Cover is in artificial leather, embossed so as to resemble the original.
De Ludo Scachorum (Special Collection Edition) by Aboca Museum.
The facsimile is presented in a special box made from a single block of mature oak. The box has been made by hand and each is immersed in a mixture of incense, myrrh, mastic, and biological alcohol in order to preserve it and ensure it does not alter with time. The spine of the box is printed with 15th century characters. The pages of the facsimile have been folded and cut by hand. The edges of the pages have been treated with colored methylcellulose. The pages are hand-sewn using a full stitch on two cords using hemp with cotton thread. In addition to the facsimile, the slipcase presents the associated critical essay that completes the work and makes it easily understandable. The slipcase, with elegant hotfoil stamping, has a window to the front flat, which makes it possible to immediately admire the beauty of the facsimile. Each piece is numbered and accompanied by a guarantee certificate.
Hand-colored goatskin and the friezes are blind-stamped with a magnesium plate.

Is the Air Pressure Is Too High On Your CPAP Machine?
Home > CPAP News > Is the Air Pressure Is Too High On Your CPAP Machine?
A large part of effective CPAP treatment for sleep apnea is determining the correct air pressure level to best suit your needs. There is no one perfect setting for every patient, so it can take multiple consultations to get it right. Having the right air pressure level for you helps to maximize the benefits of CPAP treatment, however having an incorrect air pressure level can have some negative consequences to it. Understanding how to recognize high or low pressure will help you get the most effective treatment and comfortable experience, so make sure to follow these tips.
The air pressure in CPAP machines are measured in cm/H2O, a unit of centimetres of water pressure. The highest pressure most CPAP machines can offer are near 20-25 cm/H2O, however the average pressure for most sleep apnea sufferers is only 10 cm/H2O. The pressure level is adjusted based on a number of factors including size of airways, age, weight, and other health concerns beyond sleep apnea severity.
There are several side effects that can be noticed from air pressure that is too high. Symptoms may include uncomfortable CPAP therapy, air leaks from your mask, dry mouth, swallowing air, and increased fatigue. Luckily, it is often easy to detect when the pressure is too high by how uncomfortable the pumping air feels and treatment effectiveness. Always pay close attention for these signs when you are starting treatment or switching to a new CPAP machine so you can have it corrected quickly.
You may feel inclined to try and change the air pressure yourself, however it is advisable to see your doctor or trained CPAP machine professional to help you adjust it. The process of titration helps professionals determine the correct air pressure for you.
AT PROFMed Healthcare Solutions, we provide the services and a wide range of accessories, supplies and respiratory products that can accompany any treatment associated with CPAP in Toronto. For the best options for CPAP machines and masks in Toronto, you can find our locations in Vaughan, Barrie, Mississauga and other areas in the GTA.

If you are a beneficiary of a trust, you may be entitled to (or may have received) a share of the net income of the trust which includes some of the trust's net capital gain.
In this case, you deduct your net capital gain included in your share of the trust income from your share of the trust income and show the remainder in the Partnerships and trusts income item in your tax return (item 12 for individuals).
Trustees, including fund managers, may use different terms to describe the calculation methods and other terms used in this guide. For example, they may use the term 'non-discount gains' when they refer to capital gains worked out using the indexation and 'other' methods.
Item 12 in the tax return for individuals asks you to exclude net capital gains from the amount of trust income shown at label U item 12 in your tax return. In your distribution statement, the trust should state the amounts of capital gain in your trust distribution.
In place of the amount you exclude, you are treated as having a capital gain (or capital gains) worked out, as explained below.
However, if your statement shows that your share of the trust's net capital gain is more than the overall net amount of your share of the trust's net income, do not exclude the whole capital gain component when you complete the Partnerships and trusts income item in your tax return (item 12 for individuals). In this situation, you exclude instead only the overall net amount of your share of trust income. You also use only this lesser amount in working out your capital gains.
Debra's trust distribution shows that she received $2 000 as her share of the net income of a trust.
This is made up of a primary production loss of $5 000, non-primary production income of $2 000 and a net capital gain of $5 000.
In item 12 in her tax return, Debra will show $5000 loss from primary production at label L and $5000 non-primary production income at U.
She excludes only $2 000 from item 12 because her share of the net income of the trust ($2 000) is less than her share of the net capital gain. The $2 000 is the amount Debra uses in working out her net capital gain at label A item 17 in her tax return.

Use StreetSafe if you feel unsafe this Christmas
If you find you feel unsafe in an area this Christmas, don't forget you can report it to us using the StreetSafe tool on our website.
The tool was launched in September across England and Wales as a pilot for three months.
It enables members of the public to anonymously pinpoint public places on a map where they have felt/feel unsafe and identify environmental or behavioural factors about those locations that make them feel this way.
Since its launch there have been over 8,000 reports submitted by the public, averaging at 50 reports daily, with 72% of reports from women.
Following this success, Home Office Ministers have announced the extension of the pilot to the end of the financial year.
Your reports can make a real difference.
You can use StreetSafe to map specific locations that have made them feel unsafe and explain why – regardless of whether a crime has occurred.
Reports will then be looked at and sent to the agency which is based placed to deal with each issue, for example badly lit areas would be passed to the local authority for the attention of their street lighting team.
Please note you should still use the usual methods to report a crime to us, but use StreetSafe to tell us how an area's safety could be improved.
You can find the StreetSafe reporting tool at: https://www.derbyshire.police.uk/notices/street-safe/street-safe/

Cancel Culture Brings Steve Harvey To His Knees?!?!
Hip Hop News Uncensored
Steve Harvey has no plans for another stand-up comedy special and blames "cancel culture."
"The only way I can do one more special is if it's at the end of my television career because it will end my television career," Harvey told media on Tuesday during the TCA panel for his ABC series Judge Steve Harvey airing Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.
"We're in the cancel culture now. No stand-up [comedian] alive that is sponsor-driven can say anything he wants to. Chris Rock can't. Kevin Hart can't. Cedric the Entertainer can't. D.L. Hughley can't. I can go down the list. The only person that can say what they want to say on stage is Dave Chappelle because he's not sponsor-driven, he's subscription-driven." He continued, "One of the reasons I stopped doing stand-up is because my wife told me God was about to do something for me that I didn't know about yet. I didn't I didn't know he was going to give me this TV career, but he did. And it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me. But if I had tried to continue as a stand-up, there's no way I could maintain a TV career because political correctness has killed comedy."
Harvey began his career as a stand-up comedian in 1985 which opened up the doors for him in entertainment. He launched The Steve Harvey Show in 1996 which ran until 2002.
One of his biggest comedy tours was 1997's Kings of Comedy Tour alongside Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and the late Bernie Mac. The act was so popular, Spike Lee turned the act into the feature film, The Original Kings of Comedy released in 2000.
Harvey's last comedy special was in 2012 and was aired as a pay-per-view event.
"Every joke you tell now, it hurts somebody's feelings, he said. "But what people don't understand about comedians is that a joke has to be about something and somebody. We can't write jokes about puppies all the time. The joke can't be. #steveharvey

Wellbeing Services
In 'Wellbeing Services'
Stress Management Guidance
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and Citizen's Advice
Coronavirus (Covid-19) - health information for staff
Mental Health and the Workplace
Back to 'Workplace Wellbeing'
Your occupational health team are here to provide advice to help you achieve your full potential at work. When your role exposes you to specific work hazards, we are here to support maintaining your safety at work through providing vaccinations to protect you and health surveillance to monitor that you are not experiencing any ill effects from your work exposures.
Find out how to access our range of services:
Coronavirus (Covid-19) - Ongoing symptoms from Covid infection
Long-Covid (also known as Ongoing symptomatic Covid-19 or Post-Covid syndrome)
Long-Covid is a new condition and more will become known over time. However here is what is known at the moment:
The time taken to recover from the initial Covid-19 infection is different for everyone, but for many people symptoms have resolved by 12 weeks.
The likelihood of developing long-term symptoms is not thought to be linked to the severity of the initial Covid-19 infection.
There are lots of different symptoms that people can experience following Covid-19 infection - Common symptoms of ongoing symptomatic Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 Syndrome - and those with underlying health problems may find these worsen with Covid-19 infection.
People who develop new or ongoing symptoms may find these can change, affecting them in different ways and at different times.
When to seek medical help
People who are concerned about new or ongoing symptoms four weeks or more after their acute Covid-19 infection should seek medical advice from their GP.
Following appropriate investigations (dependent on your symptoms) and confirmation that these are not being caused by another health condition, you may be referred to a multidisciplinary assessment service (Long-Covid clinic) by your GP.
Impact on work
Talk to your line manager if you are finding managing work with your symptoms difficult. Adjustments to your work can then be reviewed to support you whilst you are still recovering.
Your line manager may also wish to refer you to Occupational Health for further advice and guidance on support and adjustments for you.
If you are returning from a period of absence then a flexible phased return is likely to support you managing this transition whilst you may have ongoing symptoms.

Who is defined as disabled?
There are many kinds of disability, some more widely understood and visible than others. Many of us who work at the University may have a disability that is covered by the Equality Act 2010 without even realising it.
Legally, under the Act, a person is likely to be considered disabled if they have a mental or physical impairment that has an adverse effect on their ability to carry out day-to-day activities. This effect must be:
Substantial: in other words, not minor or trivial. The person is still considered disabled if the effects of their impairment are alleviated or removed by ongoing treatments or aids.
Long-term: this is usually taken to mean that it has lasted, or is likely to last, for more than 12 months.
This definition is quite broad and can include people with cystic fibrosis, depression, dyslexia, repetitive strain injury (RSI) or a severe facial disfigurement. Some people have conditions that are defined in the Equality Act as being a disability from the point of their diagnosis. These are: cancer, HIV infection and Multiple Sclerosis.
Some people with a disability will know that they require adjustments to enable them to work, and others may not. Access to Work is a Government scheme to support people with disabilities to be able to access work and stay in work by providing an assessment, advice on adjustments and funding (full funding is provided for people starting with a new employer and for up to six weeks after starting). To access this scheme the person with the disability must apply for Access to Work support themselves.
I have a disability – do I have to tell the University?
It is up to you whether or not you tell the University that you are disabled. However, the University is working hard to create an environment in which staff are happy to disclose their disability.
Telling us that you are disabled is particularly important if you might need any adjustments to carry out your job and if you have applied to Access to Work for their support. It will be very difficult, and in many cases impossible, for the University to provide these if you do not tell us. In addition, telling us can also help the University to improve the way it works with disabled staff – for example this information can help us to assess the impact of University practices on disabled staff.
To disclose a disability to the University you can alter your status on Core to disabled from Personal Details under Disability Info. You will need to inform your line manager if you would like to discuss potential adjustments; such as additional equipment or changes to the way in which you work. For further information on how to do this please see the canvas course - Update Personal Details
What can the University do to assist me?
For information on how the University can assist you please visit Reasonable Adjustments and also refer to the Quick Guide to making Reasonable Adjustments that is available from that page. In addition if you require further advice, you may self-refer through accessing the OPAS G2 (Occupational Health software) and providing your University email. Should your request indicate that an appointment to assess you is required, before advice can be given, then it will be recommended that a management referral is received.
The Equality Act defines 'reasonable adjustments' as adjustments to:
Provisions, criteria or practices (the way things are done)
Physical features (the built environment)
Auxiliary aids (providing specialist equipment or services)
The most common types of adjustment include:
the services of a support worker (for example, a personal assistant or sign-language interpreter)
equipment (for example, assistive computer software or an adjustable height desk)
transcription of written materials into accessible formats (for example braille or large print)
adjustments to workplaces or the physical environment
adjustments to an employee's duties, working routine or conditions of service or the provision of disability leave
'Reasonable' is difficult to define here, but it is important to remember that all adjustments must be aimed at addressing particular barriers you face, and that you have a right to be fully involved in any discussions about adjustments. Clearly not all potential adjustments would be reasonable to make, but if a request or suggestion that you make is not accepted, you should be given a clear explanation of why it was not reasonable. To support you and your line manager in these discussions a referral may be made to Occupational Health for our advice.
How can I be mentally healthy at work?
You can access support from the University's EAP provider Health Assured.
We have produced a document on Mental Wellbeing at Work, which raises awareness of mental health problems and provides guidance for staff (including managers) about creating a mentally healthy workplace: Mental Wellbeing at Work
Mind, the mental health charity, have produced some fantastic resources on this topic: Mind website

Occupational Health Referrals
Management Referral to Occupational Health
What is a Management Referral?
It is a referral to Occupational Health completed by your line manager. The role of Occupational Health is to advise the University and yourself by preparing a report for your manager on how your health may affect you at work and recommend adjustments that could be made to support, for example, a return to work or long-standing impairment. Examples of this may include: long-standing illness; return to work after sickness; level of attendance; or a combination of factors. The whole process of a referral is conducted via the HR Service Portal using the OH Management Referral form which will be made available for you within the HR Portal.
How do I get one?
Your first port of call is to speak to your line manager if you have a health condition that may be affecting your work. They will then be able to decide whether to refer you to Occupational Health, explaining their reasoning. Should they refer you, they will go direct to the HR Service Portal to start the ball rolling.
If you are due to return to work after sickness absence there is not usually a requirement for you to attend an appointment with Occupational Health. Adjustments to assist your return such as altered hours or duties can be discussed and agreed with your Line Manager in the first instance - your GP may already have indicated these on your fit note.
If the referral is accepted you will have a confidential one-to-one appointment with an Occupational Health Clinician. You will receive an email to book an appointment with an Occupational Health Clinician. At the appointment, the information that has been provided about your situation and the questions that have been posed to Occupational Health will be discussed with you.
The Occupational Health Clinician will ask you some questions so they can gain further information from you about your health. This information will enable them to form an opinion on the questions that are being asked. If appropriate you may be provided with healthcare or lifestyle advice as part of the referral process. In some cases you may be asked to consent for a report to be requested from your General Practitioner or treating Specialist under the Access to Medical Reports Act (1988) for information to assist the clinician in answering the questions posed.
At the end of the consultation you will be provided with an outline of the OH advice that the Clinician will write. At this point your consent to release this will be sought. You have the option to receive a copy or to see the OH advice prior to its release to the University, for the purpose of ensuring that the OH advice is factually accurate.

For information on what this involves please see Psychology Health Clearance Requirements.
Once we have processed this request, you may need to book an appointment to see one of our clinicians (this will depend on the request being made and on any information that you have been able to provide us). You will receive an email when this is required, through which you can choose and book an appointment. You may also be given details of anything you need to bring with you. The clearance outcome will be emailed to you and the person who requested the service on completion.

I've recently disclosed a disability to the University and would like some advice on what adjustments I may need?
Please see our Section on Disability Support. In addition if you require further advice, you may self-refer through accessing the OPAS G2 (Occupational Health software) and providing your University email. Should your request indicate that an appointment to assess you is required then it will be recommended that a management referral is received.
I have a member of my team who has raised a concern about getting across the campus in bad weather due to their disability?
Please read-through our Inclement weather advice and guidance for managers, supervisors and staff.
Firstly, speak to your Line Manager.

SUC Editing Team
Category: International Business
Beijing , Feb 11 (IANS) China plans to relocate 3.4 million people from poverty-stricken communities to more developed areas this year as part of its poverty reduction drive.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country's economic planner, said 2.49 million people living in poverty had been relocated in 2016, meeting the
target for the year, Xinhua news agency reported.
By the end of 2016, there were relocation projects in 22 provinces, which include housing, infrastructure and public services, Yang Qian, an official with the NDRC said.
