If you're willing to tackle tough issues, and you long to help others, becoming a social worker could be an ideal choice. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the occupational outlook for social workers boasts a promising 19 percent projected growth rate. Although social work is rewarding, it's also demanding. Here are five things you should consider carefully before embarking on a career in social work.
As a social worker, you will likely deal with difficult clients and tense situations on a daily basis, but those won't be your only challenges. You must also know how to navigate the system, exist productively within the professional culture and deal with your colleagues effectively. Issues involving politics and ethics may sometimes restrict your options, and you must learn to work around obstacles and opposition from others to best help your clients. Having a professional support system is essential. Fortunately, joining professional organizations and attending social work conferences can help you stay connected with your peers.
Although their goal is to improve the lives of others, social workers are sometimes seen as enemies by those who they are trying to help. The media portrayal of social workers as threatening offers a distorted view of their purpose. Situations involving abuse and neglect cause the individuals involved to fear exposure and punishment, which can make it difficult for professionals to reach out to them without hostility. Parents may see them as people whose goal is to take away their children or break up their families. Trust-building skills will be an important element in your education.
Due to the personal nature of the work, dealing with unexpected, spontaneous, tragic and sometimes violent situations is something for which every social worker must be prepared. On any given day, a client could be involved in a domestic violence incident, a medical emergency, a mental health crisis or a legal problem. Elderly clients could pass away suddenly. Avoiding emotional involvement while providing support may prove difficult, and frequent exposure to traumatic situations can take a toll on any professional. As a social worker, self-care and support is paramount to maintaining mental and emotional health.
A career in social work is never static. As legislation involving adoption, paternity, elder care, domestic violence and a vast array of other social issues develops and evolves, social workers must maintain a commitment to professional and personal development to keep up with new procedures and standards. Special training seminars and workshops may be all that is required in some cases. For some social workers, obtaining a new degree or gaining additional experience in areas like law enforcement or advanced psychology may be useful.
Most people outside of the social work field are not aware of the occupation's full scope. Protecting abuse victims and placing foster children with families are both important, but as a social worker, you will also act as an advocate to help individuals and families live healthier, more productive lives. Your responsibilities may include helping people find work, shelter, financial aid, food assistance, medical care, adequate daycare or elder care services, substance abuse recovery programs and legal assistance. You may even participate in lobbying activities to help develop new laws or programs that protect vulnerable populations.
Before you finalize your decision to pursue a degree in social work, learn more about the life of a social worker on your own. Conduct online searches, subscribe to social workers' blogs, and get to know local professionals working in the field. Taking the initiative to gain insight and knowledge can help you assess your potential and get a real-world head start on your education.

Wanted | 2008 | R | - 7.8.9
Based on a comic book character: A man (James McAvoy) seeks revenge against the murderer of his father, who is himself an assassin, and his father's partner (Morgan Freeman) arranges for him to train with a brotherhood of assassins, under the eye of his assistant (Angelina Jolie). Frightened and overwhelmed at first, he agrees to participate in assassination assignments. Also with David O'Hara, Terrence Stamp, Common, Konstantin Khabensky and Marc Warren. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov. [1:52]
SEX/NUDITY 7 - A man and a young woman have sex on a kitchen countertop: she is wearing a skirt, no shirt and a bra that reveals cleavage, the woman's bare thighs and the man's bare buttocks and thighs are shown, we hear a lot of groaning and screaming from both, and see much thrusting along with the woman spanking the man as he thrusts; the woman has sex on the same countertop with another man and we see bare thighs of both and her bra and cleavage, and we hear groans from both and screams from her.
► A nude woman steps out of a soaking tank and walks away from the camera showing intricate tattoos from her shoulders down the length of her body to the knees and across the lower portion of her bare back and buttocks. A woman wears a dress that is slit on the side up to the waist, and several scenes show a woman in a tight T-shirt that reveals cleavage. A man is shown in several scenes sitting in an herbal bath nude from the waist up. A man is pictured just out of the shower, nude from the waist up, fastening the belt on his jeans.
► In an apartment scene, a woman kisses a man twice, for a prolonged period of time.
► A woman wearing a knee-length dress that is slit up the side to the waist hangs out of a speeding car (please see Violence/Gore for more details) and at one point her knees and thighs are nearly around the head and face of the male driver.
► A man and a woman are briefly shown in bed, clothed and arguing. A man in an office looks at three different women from the back and states that they are "hot."
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - The film depicts dozens of scenes with several individuals shooting automatic weapons at one another, with several deaths that show small red holes between the eyes or at the heart level of the chest; the scenes show the bullets entering the bodies in slow motion and several drops of blood spurting out from the wound or a large blob of bright red blood flowing out of the mouth, and additional wounds occur to arms and one foot, through a shoe.
► A man draws two guns and runs down a hall, through a glass window, and across a rooftop, firing at men holding guns: 5 or 6 are killed and one man is shot in the back of the head and dies (we see all the men, lying face down in pools of bright red blood).
► Two assassination scenes show a bullet emerging from the foreheads of the victims with drops of blood flowing out, and then the bullet goes back through the head, out the back of the skull, and is pictured flying back into the gun.
► An 8-year-old girl is held captive (we see a man running a knife blade down her back as she looks out a window) and when her father arrives, the man beats him up, duct tapes his and his daughter's mouths, ties the father to a chair, holds a BBQ lighter above his head, and we see the wild eyes of the little girl and we see flames reflected on her face as her father burns to death; we hear no sounds as a female voice describes what is happening in a voiceover and the scene ends as the voice states that the intruder branded her with a hot clothes hanger on the neck (we later see a scar).
► Several knife fights with foot-long blades occur between a young man and an older man: in several close-up shots we see the young man's jacket slashed and cuts on his arms, and knives are thrown past his head and stick into the wall behind him -- in one of these scenes the young man is stabbed cleanly through one hand and then in the abdomen (we see a little blood) and one such scene takes place in a darkened slaughter house amid hog carcasses that hang from meat hooks, with exposed bones and holes around the edges that look like they were made from gunshots.
► A gunshot sounds, a woman slams into a chair and we see small spots of blood on the wall behind her, but no wound. A gunfight involving four men occurs in an abandoned floor of a garage: one man is shot in the arm (we see a little blood) and one man is shot and killed (we see him fall to the floor and bleed from the mouth).
► Several scenes depict interrogation training sessions with a man and his trainer, who repeatedly punches him in the face after tying him into a chair (his face becomes covered in blood).
► A man is berated in a loud voice by a female supervisor at work: In one scene, the woman's face swells up like a beach ball, the man sweats as his face turns red and he grimaces, fumbles for medication as we hear a fast heartbeat (please see Substance Use for more details), takes a pill, sits back, and fans himself; in another such scene, the man's face turns red, he stands up, curses, tells the woman to shut up and picks up his computer keyboard and bashes a man's head with it (pieces scatter and the victim falls, with blood slowly flowing out of this mouth).
► A woman is shown giving a man CPR (there's a lot of blood on the victim's face and her own); the victim revives but dies and further CPR is useless.
► A man draws two guns and runs through a factory shooting several people; a knife wielding man sticks his blade down the barrel of one of the guns, and the man fires it into his chest, following it up with a stomping boot kick to drive it through the back, where we see a lot of blood. Several people are shot in the temple and we see the bullets passing through their heads and blood flows out from the wounds. Two men shoot at each other and one man dies from his wounds.
► A man knocks another man who is tied to a chair to the floor; the man in the chair unties his bindings, gets up and breaks the chair over the other man's back. A man stands up out of a bath, fully clothed, pulls down his sweater arm to reveal blood on his bicep, and reaches into the patch of blood to pulls out a bullet.
► A series of night scenes on a train show a man and a woman jump and ride train tops: The woman lies down to pass through a tunnel while the man jumps up to an overpass, two scenes show the couple together on the train roof with the man pointing his gun toward a window, and he fires and we see his target struck in the chest by the bullet (we see the bullet enter the heart area of the chest and splatter some blood outward from a small red hole).
► A number of car chases show many near-crashes and crashes with few people hurt: we hear police sirens, crashing metal, gunshots, explosions, screeching tires, shrieking brakes, and grinding engines, and we see smoke and a few flames. During a chase, a car jumps over a police barricade of cars, followed by a truck that hits two other cars first and deflects them. A car zigzags in and out of traffic quickly, the driver shoots out her own windshield, pushes it aside and climbs onto the hood after giving the passenger the wheel; she hangs off the hood, firing two guns at people in other cars and leans around the fender to avoid being struck by a bus in the next lane, and another bus flips and crashes on its side while several cars run into one. A car catches up to a limo, flips over and the driver shoots and kills a man in the limo through his open sunroof. A man driving a garbage truck speeds toward a man standing in a parking lot, a car speeds toward him from the other direction, spins sideways, and scoops him up in the passenger compartment while the truck turns away at the last second.
► A series of scenes involve handgun target practice in a slaughter house where four men and a woman practice curving their shots around a hanging butchered hog.
► A foot chase scene is taken onto a train where a man draws a gun, passengers scream, he chases another man through several cars, fires a bullet around a terrified woman, and more bullets are fired; then a car speeds into the train, becomes wedged in the side of the train and is dragged through a tunnel (there are lots of sparks), and the train derails and falls into a river.
► Thousands of rats booby trapped with explosives skitter into a textile mill and explode amid men who are trying to shoot them; a lot of smoke billows out of the windows and doors and some flames flare in one room -- we see several men lying down, some with small amounts of blood around their noses and mouths.
► A man is accosted by a woman in a convenience store, she pulls a large handgun from a bag and drags him to the floor by one arm, as she fires at another armed man across the store; gunfire ensues, no one is hurt, but glass shatters and food and sundries fly off shelves amid loud gunshots and people screaming.
► In three scenes, two men shoot at each other and the bullets split each other in mid-air. A man is threatened that if he does not shoot the wings off a fly, he will be shot in the back of the head, the man hesitates, picks up a gun and fires many times to a point off screen (we then see three wingless flies). Two men draw guns on each other, a woman appears, pulls another gun and all three drop their weapons.
► A man practices catching the fast moving shuttle out of an electric loom in several scenes, each time cutting his knuckles on the machinery; we see overly bright red blood splashed over the back of one hand each time.
► A man is told that his father was still alive, but died in a train. A man says that he killed his father. A man tells a man that a rogue assassin murdered his father. A man asks why assassins murder people and is told, "You kill one and maybe save a thousand." The film's opening scenes are made up of text describing a secret society of weavers that are actually assassins. An older man tells a younger man that he has superpowers caused by an increased pulse rate.
► A man experiences several nightmares where everyone around him moves in slow motion and he always wakes up with a gasp.
► An unkempt man in a dirty sleeveless shirt and showing underarm and chest hair bites his fingernails and spits them onto the floor.

Full set of panels made for the ceiling now, vestibules and toilets included. Small saloon now has the ceiling fitted, large saloon to follow. Dave and I have started refurbishing the bulkheads around the toilet areas, and some new panels are due to be fitted.
Brilliant Dave, I am most impressed with the former that takes the wieght and profile of the ceiling panels.
I feel a long overdue re-visit to Peak Rail is on the cards very soon as the last time I was there was when my son Alex was studying at Derby University some 14 years ago, (where does the time go).
It is likely that the MHR will be holding the carriage convention this September for the first time ever.


I freakin adore the whole outfit! The white socks really make it though. I do tye-dye/ other weird socks with skorss/thirts all the time, but never thought of doing white... i shall have to make a trip to wherever socks are sold.
If not for your writing this topic could be very coenolutvd and oblique.

Q: BC30560: 'ExtensionAttribute' is ambiguous in the namespace 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices' I have asp.net project (in .net 2.0) and I converted project to .net 4.0.
After I built the project successfully, I launched the website on browser, it throws error as following:

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource
  required to service this request. Please review the following specific
  error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: BC30560: 'ExtensionAttribute' is ambiguous in
  the namespace 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices'.
Source Error:
[No relevant source lines]
Source File: InternalXmlHelper.vb    Line: 9
........

Please give me some idea to fix it.

A: A common trick to use extension methods (for LINQ etc) in .NET 2 with the C# 3 (or above) compiler was to define your own ExtensionAttribute in the right namespace.
Now that you have upgraded to a later version of .NET you need to remove this now-redundant extra attribute. Find where it is defined in your code and expunge it. Also check for external libraries like LINQBridge - you won't need this any more.
One way to find it would be to use the object browser and search for ExtensionAttribute.

A: This was how I found the issue.
Another easy way to verify: In your code, temporarily use the class somewhere. Example:
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute x = null;

When building, this will generate error:
The type

'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.ExtensionAttribute' exists in both
  'c:\Program Files\Reference
  Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.5\System.Core.dll'

and .....
And show you immediately the 2 sources causing the conflict.

A: I had this exact same error, and what solved it for me was to delete the Themes (under App_Themes). I haven't tried re-adding the themes to see if they'll work yet, but deleting that fixed the error, at least.
Note that I discovered it was the Themes causing this by looking at the compiler details in the error, and noting that the only .vb files it was compiling were related to themes (auto-generated). My project is all C#, so the error coming from VB made me look for the .vb files.

A: I had this problem, and listed below is what worked for me.
The clue was that the error message mentions InternalXmlHelper.vb.  I am a C# programmer, so why the mention of a VB component?
This problem can arise if you have not been explicit about the compilation language for your ASPX page.  If you have not been explicit, then IIS will compile in whatever is set as the default language for that site.  If you are writing in C#, have not been explicit about the compilation language, and the default compilation language in IIS is C#, then happy days.  But if the default compilation language in IIS is set to vb (which it seems it is by default), then your C# page is going to get compiled as if it were vb, and you get the BC30560 error.
The best fix is to be explicit as to the compilation language for your aspx pages, by putting a directive like this at the top of each of your aspx pages:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

Alternatively, you can leave your pages ambiguous (no Page Language directive) and tell IIS what to use as the default compilation language, like this:
With IIS manager -> go look at the root of your websites (it will be your server name) then -> in the ASP.NET section -> double-click the .NET Compilation icon (blue down-arrow) -> in the list of settings, under the General heading, is a setting for Default Language -> set this to c#
You can also set the default language per website if you want.  Same as above, but set it for a website below the root of the left-hand-side IIS tree view, instead of for the root of it.  Note that if you set your default-language=c# for a website, that setting gets stored in the root web.config of your site - in the <system.web> section you'll have a value like this: <compilation debug="false" defaultLanguage="c#" />.  If you delete or overwrite that setting in your web.config, it will revert to whatever is default for the IIS instance.

A: This error is also because you don't have the page directive at the top of your aspx file. This is why VB compiler is used.
Write this to the top:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

A: I had this error. Simply restarting Visual Studio made it go away.

A: This error also occurs in ASP.NET MVC Web Applications if you use an incorrect file extension for your views or partials.
I had inadvertently created a view using an incorrect extension (.ascx instead of .cshtml) and  received this error message.
Changing the extension to .cshtml fixed the issue.

ELECTRIC GARDENS BRISBANE 2018 LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT
FATBOY SLIM, MK and GORGON CITY TO PERFORM AT THE MARQUEE, BRISBANE SHOWGROUNDS
Across the past few weeks, one of Australia's leading summer dance music festivals, Electric Gardens, has been unravelling the dates and venues for their biggest ever run in 2018; and teasing us with some big headliners. First, Electric Gardens announced they'd scored the return of Fatboy Slim for their flagship event at Centennial Park, Sydney. Then came news that Electric Gardens would host Fatboy Slim and Gorgon City in an outdoor amphitheatre in Perth's hills….and on St. Kilda's Foreshore in Melbourne. Now, the standout summer dance festival has announced that they will be bringing their weapon of choice to Brisbane!
That's right, FATBOY SLIM – one of the most influential artists in the dance music world – will officially headline Electric Gardens Brisbane on January 25, 2018. Joining him will be North London sensations GORGON CITY, playing one of their infamous underground DJ sets, with the cherry on the cake by way of US house hero MK. 2018 sees the Brisbane event leave its 2017 home The Riverstage and head to a brand new venue – the well-reputed THE MARQUEE, at Brisbane Showgrounds. Given Brisbane's unpredictable weather conditions, The Marquee – as a totally undercover venue – is the perfect venue for a Brisbane event (and easily accessible from the CBD). This year's Brisbane line-up continues to maintain the strong reputation Electric Gardens curators for drawing some of the globe's biggest dance music stars over for the Australian summer. In previous years, the likes of Eric Prydz, Basement Jaxx, Sasha, Jamie Jones & Erick Morillo have graced the EG stage in Brisbane.
The original superstar DJ, FATBOY SLIM will absolutely bring the house down in Brisbane – with his always-classy show. Fatboy Slim can be considered not only as the most important music exponent of the UK, who ruled the charts and the dancefloor at the passage of the millennium in Europe and worldwide, setting record after record, but also as the father of the big-beat sound. Recently, its been a huge couple of years for Fatboy Slim, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of his seminal debut album Better Living Through Chemistry' in 2016, and shortly thereafter also became the only artist to play Glastonbury for 17 consecutive years. He also headlined his own arena at Creamfields, played his first Ibiza residency at Cream Amnesia, and hosted a special series of six Fatboy Slim shows for BBC Beats 1. Live, FBS knows how to speak to new and different audiences – his sets and blend breakbeats with the most catchy melodies and riffs, combining fundamental elements of rock and dance cultures.
As one of the UK's greatest dance music exports in recent years, North London duo GORGON CITY have so far enjoyed astounding success, having taken their savvy combination of infectious pop hooks and club-ready 4×4 beats to every possible corner of the planet. Since their first single 'Real' tore up dancefloors, airwaves and charts in 2013, they've enjoyed several more huge hits, most recently impressing with 'Real Life', a collaboration with longtime friend Duke Dumont.
They've consistently dominated festival season since their inception, including spending good chunks of their summer playing for revellers in Ibiza, recently with their own residency at 'Together'. Their famed DJ sets are full of underground power, as they draw on the dank London basement world of their come-up, spinning and mixing dirty bass beats into a sweat-dripping good time. They come to Electric Gardens well primed off the back of a huge 22-date North American and UK DJ tour.
MK – MARC KINCHEN
Mark Kinchen – or as he's better known, MK – who grew up in Detroit under the tutelage of nascent techno legends Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, has long been one of the most idiosyncratic house producers around, tempering his feel for soulful New York-styled garage with the energy of hard techno. As well as having near unprecedented levels of credibility within the underground dance music scene, MK's a hero in the mainstream arena, too. During his time, he's worked on R & B productions with Pharrell, Will Smith, Quincy Jones, Diane Warren, Tyrese, Brandy, and Pitbull to name a few, and has remix credits for mega pop artists, including Lana Del Rey, Sky Ferreira, and Sam Smith and more. Through his timeless productions, MK has influenced a new generation of producer. This year tastemaker MK began hosting his own bi-weekly radio show on Beats1, and recently re-launched his iconic label and event brand Area10. He continues to blow away huge audiences around the world with his incredible DJ sets, recently performing at Together at Amnesia in Ibiza, Camp Bisco, V Festival, Parklife UK, and mounting his own Area10 takeover stages at Pacha Ibiza and Creamfields. Brisbane is in for a treat as the man behind some of the biggest tracks of early house, and still one of the most in-demand DJs on the global circuit, comes to Electric Gardens.

The house that cork built: is this the ultimate eco-friendly material?
Using cork to clad an extension – inside and out – was a speedy, sustainable and affordable choice for this family home

When Dan Barber and Hat Margolies bought a two-bed Victorian terrace house in 2013, the entire building needed an overhaul. It had leaky pipes, asbestos and rattling windows; and it needed rewiring, new radiators and a new boiler. Wind whistled through the front room floorboards. "The light and proportions made it really special but there were no original features – the fireplaces had long gone," says Margolies, a photographic agent with an eye for vintage furniture.
But the couple saw it as a chance to make their new home, in south London, as eco-friendly as they could: to conserve energy, and recycle and reuse as much as possible. They lived with the house as it was for five years, during which time their second daughter was born, and then employed NimTim architects to transform it on a tight budget.

The centrepiece of the redesign is a garden-facing extension, clad in cork inside and out, built on to a kitchen that replaced a dining room. "The kitchen dated back to the 1960s, so there was no guilt about tearing it out," says Margolies. "We never in a million years imagined using cork," says Barber, a graphic designer, who was surprised when architect Nimi Attanayake suggested this wildcard material, instead of brick. He initially worried that cork might leak until Attanayake reminded him that it's used to seal wine bottles. The use of cork both internally and externally is "incredibly experimental", says Attanayake; but while there aren't many examples of this in the UK, it's more widespread in Europe.
It's an affordable option because it doesn't need cladding externally or plastering internally, and installation is quick. "Cork has so many benefits – it's waterproof, lightweight, a good insulator, breathable and sound-absorbing," Attanayake says. "Over time, it weathers to a silvery-grey as it gets bleached by the sun," Barber notes. "It's so unprocessed, it's got a beautiful pattern to it. It feels lovely and even has a nice, smoky smell."
But it was the eco credentials that really did it for Barber and Margolies. Harvested from the bark of cork oak trees often grown in Portugal, it's natural, chemical-free, carbon-neutral and cheap to produce. Cork trees are fast-growing and harvested only once every nine years throughout their 200-year lifetime. As a material, cork lasts decades, is biodegradable and easy to replace if necessary.
In the couple's extension, the cork – 13cm thick – is attached to breeze blocks on both sides. Existing brick walls and the ceiling are plastered and painted a putty grey with a hint of pink ("Down" from littlegreene.com). The cork softens the more architectural angles and lines of the ceiling. In theory it could be used as a giant pinboard, but the pair haven't put any pictures up yet.

Light floods the extension through two large pink-framed picture windows – one an oversized pivot glass door – and six metal-framed skylights. "The window and door frame views of the garden," Barber says. A sofa sits along one wall, with an Ercol coffee table and lamps. A long, bespoke piece of floor-to-ceiling shelving doubles as an office nook with Margolies's childhood Anglepoise lamp.
A dining area with a beech table from the Danish brand Hay, which comfortably seated 15 last Christmas, is a few steps up from the extension, along with a built-in bench; the kitchen is a couple more steps beyond that. The family gravitates to the new extension now. "We can all be together while doing different things," Barber says.
The architects also converted the empty, uninsulated loft into a double bedroom and en suite, complete with pink window frames that match those in the extension. For the new staircase up to the loft, floorboards were reclaimed from the kitchen and painted pink to match the window frames. Now, with three bedrooms, they can accommodate the whole family as their two daughters grow up.
Downstairs, the small front room is a cosy snug with a TV and sofabed for guests; the couple have insulated the void under the floorboards with eco-friendly wool insulation. Elsewhere, efficient radiators have been installed; lavatories have water-conserving double flushes; showers have eco settings; and old strip lights have been switched to energy-efficient and LED bulbs.
To minimise spending, the couple sourced as much as they could from outlet stores, sample sales and auction houses, as well as Gumtree, Freecycle and local Facebook selling forums. Over the years, they have added to their collection of mid-century modern furniture, including an Eames rocker that Margolies bought Barber for his 30th birthday from a secondhand shop.

The family adopts a low-carbon approach to everything: they walk to school, cycle to work, and don't own a car. "We try to tread lightly as much as possible, and try to avoid waste, so we buy food from local farmers' markets and order staples in bulk from [wholesale co-operative] Suma together with around 20 other people," says Margolies. At home, all energy is sourced from renewable suppliers, and the couple haven't flown for years, taking trains or ferries when they go on holiday.
They are ahead of the curve: millions of heritage retrofits will be required nationally to meet the Climate Change Act's targets to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050. According to the Energy Saving Trust, if every household took action on energy efficiency now, we could achieve 11% of the UK's 2050 target.

Although the house is now bigger, it is much better insulated and easier to heat. "Before, we used to be freezing with the thermostat at 21C – now we're toasty at 19C," Barber says. "Our girls have seen firsthand how we've customised this house," Margolies adds. "They've learned it's not essential to buy brand new, and that if you put the work in, it's possible to create something amazing."
This article was amended on 30 October and 9 November 2020. The cork in the extension is 13cm thick, not 13 inches, as originally stated. And the Climate Change Act's target is to to reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050, not by 80% as an earlier version said; the original target was an 80% reduction, but this was amended in 2019.

Dialogues and facilitation
Knowledge and research
Water and the 2030 Agenda
In 2015, the global community launched the 2030 Agenda, with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that should be reached by 2030. Some progress has been made, but for most of the goals, the world is not on track to meet the deadline. Water can help us do better.
Groundwater is the regulator of the entire freshwater cycle, but its invisibility makes it difficult to manage and protect.
Water governance
Many of the most pressing challenges in the world are about water: too little, too much or too inferior. Such challenges can only be effectively addressed through adequate governance of available water resources.
Water cooperation
Water is a growing concern in many parts of the world. Countries can improve their water resilience through transboundary water cooperation over shared waters.
The climate crisis is essentially a water crisis. When we treat it as such, we get new tools to mitigate climate change and adapt to consequences that are unavoidable.
Water scarcity
Insufficient supply and inadequate infrastructure leaves millions of people in the world without water.
How to increase the productivity of agriculture around the world through better water management.
The impact of COVID-19
The global COVID-19 pandemic has pushed millions of people back into poverty and exposed unacceptable gaps between the rich and the poor. One in three people are still not able to wash their hands with soap and water at home.
Water and conflicts
Will future wars be fought over water? The answer is probably no, but water scarcity can contribute to conflicts.
Indigenous peoples are the custodians of many of the world's most fragile and important ecosystems. They also possess invaluable knowledge about sustainability and resilience, so they have a vital role in protecting our environment.
Source-to-Sea
The source-to-sea approach focuses on the strong connection between what happens on land, along waterways, and in the sea.
Water in landscapes
A growing number of people, societies and companies are discovering the power of resilient landscapes. It is still possible to shift to more sustainable practices that recharge water, restore soil health, sequester carbon, and strengthen biodiversity – but we need to make the transformation now.
More than two billion people in the world lack safely managed drinking water and twice as many lack safely managed sanitation, making WASH one of the most urgent development challenges.
While we all depend heavily on rivers for our survival, many rivers are under constant threat from unsustainable human activities
Youth and water
More and more young people offer important contributions to solving the growing water challenges they are inheriting.
Human rights and water
Having access to water and sanitation has been recognized as a human right since 2010. But water is also essential to ensuring the fulfilment of many other rights.
Gender and water
To improve water governance, we need to take a close look at gender roles.

Programme Manager,
Indigenous peoples play a vital role when it comes to the environment. As stewards of fragile marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, their role and inclusion in equitable and sustainable water management is essential. Worldwide, indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities also suffer disproportionally from economic, social and political marginalization and human rights violations, including poor access to water and sanitation services.
In order to raise awareness of indigenous peoples, every 9 August commemorates the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, chosen in recognition of the first meeting of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations held in Geneva in 1982. This year, the UNDP-SIWI Water Governance Facility (WGF) will host an online dialogue highlighting the role of indigenous peoples' knowledge and perspectives in sustainable water management and climate change, and what other communities could learn from them.
This interactive conversation featuring UN Special Rapporteurs and indigenous community representatives will address following questions:
How can indigenous ecological knowledge, values, and solutions contribute to improved sustainable water management and other water-related shocks and stresses related to current Covid-19 pandemic?
How can indigenous ecological knowledge, values, and solutions contribute to climate action, specifically when it comes to the mitigation of and adaptation to climate change?
What are the efforts taken to recognize the value of indigenous/ traditional knowledge in international policies and conventions?
How are various human rights (i.e. the rights of indigenous peoples, the right to safe drinking water and sanitation, the right to the enjoyment of a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment) interlinked and how can addressing them in concert enhance the realization of the global agendas, including the Paris Agreement and the SDGs?
This year being the tenth anniversary of the UN General Assembly resolution recognizing the human rights to water and sanitation, how has the resolution helped protect and advance the rights of indigenous peoples with regard to water and sanitation?

I introduced myself to her last week and named her... fatal isn't it? Freckle came up to me and showed no fear or nervousness... followed by Curly Jerbill who hasn't forgotten my top up bottles when he was such a runty triplet... perhaps Freckle is his sister.... who knows.... anyway she will be moved into the field with Melody's gang at the week end so she can make friends and settle in with all the other keepers! Next is the decision of who is big enough to breed with this year... we are a bit tentative about Melody, she is big enough but her mother had a prolapse if you remember so we might hold her back for a year?
If anyone has any information or suggestions from their own experience in this regard, they would be gratefully received... Thanks!

IQ Test Example
I'm reading up on various IQ tests, and a slideshow that I stumbled upon gave the following example:
This doesn't make sense to me, as none of the options duplicate the conditions in the far left image, and it's left me thinking that it's simply a mistake in the slideshow. That seems unlikely though, so thought I'd see if you guys can explain where my logic is falling apart, as there's a bunch of bright folk around here.

$\begingroup$ This makes no sense to me either. I guess, don't trust everything you read on the internet. $\endgroup$ – greenturtle3141 Jul 25 '17 at 17:35
$\begingroup$ Yeah that could be the simple explanation, it was a legit seeming presentation on LinkedIn, so perhaps I gave it more credit than it deserved. We'll see if anyone can crack the riddle though, we could both be mistaken! $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 25 '17 at 17:36
$\begingroup$ 3 and 5 are topologically identical, so it must be a mistake. Can you provide the source? $\endgroup$ – Dr Xorile Jul 25 '17 at 17:47
$\begingroup$ This is quite possibly the worst question I have ever seen. What's the IQ of the people who made it? Jeez. $\endgroup$ – Arthur Dent Jul 25 '17 at 19:28
$\begingroup$ "which one duplicates the conditions in the first box" - it's the closest, only difference is the lacking of square crossing, and the dot doesn't care about that (as far as I can understand it) $\endgroup$ – Stephen S Jul 25 '17 at 20:07
The explanation in the slide seemed very odd, so I Google Image searched "culture fair IQ topology" and lots of variations of this image came up:
If you look at the topology question, it matches the explanation perfectly: we need a dot inside the circle but outside the square, making the only possibility choice #3.
So I think that at least the explanation is not for the puzzle given. As to the puzzle given, I also do not see a solution that matches the configuration of the first picture...
ffaoffao
$\begingroup$ Wow, nice find. This is the most plausible answer yet, although it begs the question 'what on earth was the answer to the image provided?' $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 25 '17 at 20:55
$\begingroup$ My best guess, based on Dr Xorile's comment that 1 and 4 are topologically identical, was that in one of those the squares were meant to overlap and not only touch, giving a possible solution. I'm not completely sure about that speculation, though. $\endgroup$ – ffao Jul 25 '17 at 21:07
$\begingroup$ I think I figured it out, and have posted as an answer - interested in your opinion on my solution $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 25 '17 at 21:19
I believe ffao is correct about the image being a mistake, however we're then left with 'what is the solution to the original image?'
I think I figured it out...
Misdirection, making us assume image 1 has two squares in it, when it's actually two L shaped pieces.
$\begingroup$ This answer seems to me to be the only logical explanation. $\endgroup$ – Petr Pudlák Jul 26 '17 at 13:25
$\begingroup$ I think you are correct about the diagram choice, but "no" there is not a 3rd shape being introduced. I also think the dot would be placed in the center of the intersection of the two boxes. In all diagrams, the circle can take a dot, but in no other diagrams do the two squares intersect without one being subsumed. $\endgroup$ – Yorik Jul 26 '17 at 16:41
$\begingroup$ But it would not be 'as in the one on the left' if the dot was not within the circle, so I don't see how what you're saying could be the answer $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 26 '17 at 17:08
Most likely:
There has been a mistake.
Oh, the irony...
There are several things wrong here:
Grammatical errors:
It says '5 choices provided' and there are 6, if we assume that the box furthest to the left is part of the options.
Says 'the box' and there are 2 boxes in each
Logical errors:
Scenario 1:
If the box furthest to the left is the one we are supposed to duplicate conditions as the question says, then not only does 3 not fit, but none of them do.
If we go with the example and have to find a box in which it is possible to place a dot inside a circle but outside the box(es), then the middle four (or first four excluding the leftmost one) all work.
So there is no answer either way...
My guess as to what happened is that the writer linked the wrong image or the leftmost image is missing.
Don't worry, it's not you - there is definitely a mistake somewhere.
Beastly GerbilBeastly Gerbil
$\begingroup$ The one on the far left isn't a choice, it's the example which you're supposed to use to 'match' one of the other 5. As to 'the box', I do agree that hints at some sort of mistake being made, but can't say for sure. $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 25 '17 at 20:32
$\begingroup$ I concede that there are missteps with their wording, but i still think the directions are clear. As Callum stated in a comment under my answer, it is difficult to decipher where the question is and the explanation begins. $\endgroup$ – Jason V Jul 25 '17 at 20:54
$\begingroup$ This is the correct answer, for the following reason: The slide shown in the OP is slide 15 of the linked presentation. Slide 17 describes how the test proctor is supposed to give instructions, and directly contradicts the hint on slide 15: "In the separate square of the first example, there is dot which is in both the circle and the square. Now look at the five possible answers and see if you can find a drawing where you could put in one dot that will be inside both the circle and square." [emphasis mine] $\endgroup$ – shoover Jul 25 '17 at 22:42
$\begingroup$ @shoover interesting find. There is definitely something wrong here... $\endgroup$ – Beastly Gerbil Jul 26 '17 at 14:30
This has a very logical explanation. You must follow the example in the left most box as to where to place the dot in the subsequent examples
The dot must fall inside a circle, and outside of the box
the topology is ONLY for the dot- as that is all that is stated. Don't get hung up on superfluous information.
example 1 the dot falls into both boxes- fail
example 2 the dot doesn't fall in either- fail
example 3 the dot falls inside the circle but outside of both boxes- pass
example 4 the dot falls inside both boxes- fail
example 5 the dot is inside of a box, and not the circle- fail

$\begingroup$ please excuse my use of ms paint- on a junk laptop. my red points are off just a bit but it should suffice $\endgroup$ – Jason V Jul 25 '17 at 18:02
$\begingroup$ In the left most box, is the dot not inside both boxes? Wouldn't that mean the dot had to be in both boxes in the answer, not outside of both? $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Jul 25 '17 at 18:03
$\begingroup$ it explicitly states "Choose the diagram in which a dot could be placed as in the one on the left" and the instructions state it should land "outside the box but inside the circle" $\endgroup$ – Jason V Jul 25 '17 at 18:06
$\begingroup$ I have conceded that it is a poorly written question, and i look forward to your answer to see how you interpret the question. $\endgroup$ – Jason V Jul 25 '17 at 19:51
$\begingroup$ @Jason I don't think there is a way to interpret the question (see the logistical errors in my answer). I just think there must have been a mistake. $\endgroup$ – Beastly Gerbil Jul 25 '17 at 20:01
I agree that the question is unclear — hopelessly unclear and unanswerably cryptic. As B. Gerbil points out, it isn't even clear what "option 3" means. But, if we assume that the six boxy diagrams are numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (left to right), or BLANK, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (as in the version that ffao found), and given that "option 3" is the answer, it can be explained as follows:
Pick the boxy diagram (of the rightmost five) which, like the leftmost one, has the property that
both squares are contained entirely within the circle.
In other words, select the figure in which
it is impossible to place a dot that would lie inside a box but out side the circle.
The only way this makes sense is if the dot in diagram 0 is a complete red herring.
If this question were posed here (rather than being cited here), it would be closed as "too broad" or "Off-Topic: This question may invite speculative answers, as the question is not fully defined. …" It's possible to construct equally plausible justifications for the other options:
option 1: The squares intersect (if only at a single point), and that intersection is contained within the circle. AND the squares are the same size and are parallel to each other.
option 2: The squares overlap (but neither is contained within the other).
option 4: The squares intersect (if only at a single point), and that intersection is contained within the circle. AND the squares are laid out more-or-less left-to-right.
option 5: >50% of one square is contained within the other.
I feel troubled by using arguments about sizes, parallelism, and left-to-right layout in a test that's supposed to be about topology, but the Good Ship Logic has sailed. And, as others have pointed out, options 1 and 4 are topologically identical.
It took a while, but I think I have it. They're asking you to assume that those 2D shapes are floating in a 3D space, and that you can move around to look at them from another angle. So, select the shape which can be looked at from a different angle to reproduce the original shape.
It can't be the second box: You're staring out looking (nearly) orthogonal through the centre of the circle. If the circle is behind the squares in 2, you could flip the perspective around to make it bigger than the squares. But wiggling the axis so parallax makes the squares overlap would pull them out of the center.
It can't be the fourth box. No perspective will make the squares align.
It can't be the fifth box. No perspective will make the squares align, and you have most of the problems of the second box too.
It probably could be the sixth box (circle far away, small square in between, and large square close up, then look from the other direction), but I think the squares misalign too much. If the border is part of the diagram, six is right out.
It must be the third box. Look at the two squares as coplanar, and the cirle as farther away. Then move your perspective to the other side of the circle, looking up out of the page and rotate 90 degrees. You still need to tilt your perspective slightly so the squares are in the center of the circle, but it's little enough that neither the original nor the result is distinguishable from an ellipse anyway.
fectinfectin
If you look at the statement Select the figure in which, it is possible to place a dot that would lie outside the box but inside the circle. So leaving 3rd and 5th, there is possibility that it can be placed in square and circle both. It is not asking specific point where you can place. Question may sound ambiguous but still if you just keep your head clean you can understand it. In 3rd and 5th, wherever you put the point in circle, it will lie outside the box only.

I am assuming that there is a second set of figures originally given as an example which have been removed, and therefore the second and third sentences of the question can be ignored. The "For example" text bears no resemblance to the image provided at all.
Regarding the first sentence of the question and the image provided, the answer is the third box along, with the two squares intersecting and a circle off to the side. Topologically speaking the aim is to put the dot in a place that satisfies two conditions 1) Within the intersection of two sets. 2) Within another set that wholly encompasses the first two sets.
The trick is that none of the sets are defined, therefore the inside of the circle in the third image is not necessarily the set - the set can just as easily be the space outside the circle, with the circle bounding an area outside of the set.
Placing the dot in the intersection of the two squares in the third image satisfies both constraints.

This is a question that requires some specific knowledge of the mathematical field of topology. In that field you are allowed to manipulate shapes within certain parameters (primarily, you can't cut/break a shape or create a new hole in a surface, or push shapes through other shapes such that they intersect when they previously didn't). In topology, a coffee mug is equivalent to a doughnut.
The example box has a circle surrounding two adjacent L-shaped polygons, with a dot between the polygons. That means you're looking to place a dot such that it's inside the circle and outside both polygons, with the polygons inside the circle. Box #3 is the only one that satisfies those conditions, though it (through the rules of topology) re-shaped the polygons into squares and moved them apart slightly -- but they're both still contained in the circle and nonintersecting.
In box #1, the circle now intersects the boxes, violating the rules of topology. In box #2, the circle is no longer surrounding the boxes, violating the rules of topology (you can't push a shape through another shape). In box #4, you have another intersection problem (this one is equivalent to box #1). Box #5 has broken a variety of rules, with one box now surrounding the other box and the circle (everything has been pushed through everything).
That leaves box #3 the only topological equivalent to the example.

You guys, it's pretty simple. It's meant to say "far RIGHT box", not "far LEFT box". From there, the puzzle is simple.

$\begingroup$ there isnt a dot in the right one $\endgroup$ – bleh Jul 27 '17 at 3:31
I'm sorry for spoiling. The thing is that there is something missing. These 6 squares are actual choce options for the problem that has been cut off. First one (with a dot) is the right answear and the dot is there just to clarify the choice.
bejrobejro
$\begingroup$ Hi, welcome to the community! That doesn't make sense, as the text states choice 3 is the correct answer. If the problem was cut off the text would say choice 1 was the correct answer. $\endgroup$ – Callum Bradbury Oct 14 '18 at 3:20

Q: Nginx single domain on multiple ip addresses I'm using Plesk 11 which has nginx sitting in front of Apache listening on port 80 and 443 and using proxy_pass to redirect requests to Apache listening on ports 7080 and 7081.

A: You can did it via adding ugly hack in virtual host templates:
First of all create custom template:
mkdir -p /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/

cp /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domain/nginxDomainVirtualHost.php /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/nginxDomainVirtualHost.php
cp /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domain/domainVirtualHost.php /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/domainVirtualHost.php

Than make following changes, I did it for SSL part only:
Change  in domainVirtualHost.php:

Originally published in the April 1998 California HomeSchooler.
With the help of my two or three dozen questionnaire respondents, I figured I could come up with the definitive answer-the-question-for-all-time explanation of what exactly unschooling is. Everybody had good answers to the questions, "How do you define unschooling?" The problem was that all the answers were different—and almost all of them were several paragraphs long.
What I realized as I got seriously working on the book was that unschooling is so hard to define because it truly is different for every unschooling family and for every child within a given family. Because it is so centered on the learner's own needs and interests, generic definitions are perforce incomplete and unsatisfactory.
1. An Environment Conducive to Exploration and Experimentation.
Unschooling children are able to spend most of their time in places where learning and exploration are possible and welcome. The exact materials or surroundings don't matter a great deal; what's important is that kids have access to what interests them and feel comfortable exploring and using what they find around them.
As important as "stuff" to learn with are people to learn from. Formal qualifications are not important, but it's crucial that kids have people around them who provide models of learning in the way they live and the activities they pursue. "Do as I say, not as I do" does not work; kids need people who have active interests of their own, who exhibit their own curiosity and joy in exploring the world.
3. Trust That the Child Will Learn.
For most parents, this is the most difficult aspect of unschooling. We worry that our kids will miss something important, that they won't "cover everything," that something will go wrong and it will be all our fault.
Developing that trust in our children does not come easily to many of us. We have to forget what things we learned in which grade at school and really look at what our children do. Most of us are frequently surprised at the things our kids know and do. Even after nearly a decade as an enthusiastic unschooling parent, I'm still startled at how often I'm pleasantly surprised by mine.
Eventually we learn to see how much our kids learn from even the most mundane activities. Eventually we learn to relax (most of the time) and quit worrying (most of the time). And inevitably, our children learn to recognize our anxiety creeping out and let us know—frequently—how ridiculous our fears are.

Q: Symbol for "anything" Is there a way to use in Mathematica something like "anything" symbol to simplify symbolic expressions?
Exemplary, I would like to denote with "B[*]" B[t] for arbitrary parameter t. In particular, I could then simplify expression (where B[t], A are some matrices):
(B[t1].B[t2].A +A.B[t3].B[t4]+B[t4].A.B[t5])/.{B[*].B[*]->IdentityMatrix},

where IdentityMatrix is self-explanatory, to get an output 2A+B[t4].A.B[t5].

A: The pattern for "Anything" is "_" not "*". E.g.:
(B[t1] . B[t2] . A + A . B[t3] . B[t4] +
   B[t4] . A . B[t5]) /. {B[_] . B[_] -> IdentityMatrix}

(* A . IdentityMatrix + IdentityMatrix . A + B[t4] . A . B[t5] *)

Maternal Mental Health Workshops Scheduled for September
As mental health awareness month comes to an end, Sen. Alicia V. Barnes, in collaboration with senators Novelle E. Francis Jr., Allison DeGazon and Oakland Benta, advises the public of upcoming maternal mental health workshops.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10 percent of pregnant women around the world and 13 percent of post-partum mothers experience a range of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. The percentage increases among communities of color, with 38 percent suffering from illnesses such as obsessive compulsive and post-traumatic stress disorders.
The four senators have partnered with Shivonne Odom, LCPC, LPC, NCC of Akoma Counseling Concepts to host a series of maternal mental health workshops to be launched in September.
The first workshop, scheduled for Sept. 16 at the VI Cardiac Center, will focus on maternal mental health awareness and will include a voluntary maternal mental health screening. The workshop is open to all mothers, expectant mothers, students and mental health professionals.
"The goal of these activities is to reduce rates of maternal mortality in the U.S. Virgin Islands," Odom said.
The workshops — soon to be announced — will provide continuing education training to both mental and medical health professionals on maternal mental health screenings.
Odom is a licensed professional counselor, a certified school counselor, and a national certified counselor in Washington, D.C., and a licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. She is also clinical supervisor approved by the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists.
Odom recently launched a continuing education training program for medical health professionals at Howard University, her alma mater, in March 2019. She has held workshops at Bowie State University and is scheduled to present on minority mental health at the Post-Partum Support International Conference in Portland, Oregon, this summer.
"We can't treat what we don't acknowledge. What we don't acknowledge becomes silenced," Odom said.
These workshops are scheduled for September. Stay tuned for further updates.

You can can increase the amount you contribute anytime during the year you turn 50.
I'm turning 50 in July. Can I make catch-up contributions to my IRA now, or do I have to wait until after my birthday? And can I contribute the full extra amount this year, or do I need to pro-rate the extra contribution?
As long as you turn 50 by the end of the year, you can make the catch-up contributions anytime during 2013. And you don't need to pro-rate the amount -- you can make the full contribution, regardless of when your birthday is.
People age 50 and older in 2013 can contribute an extra $1,000 to their IRAs in 2013 -- bringing their total for the year to $6,500. You can also contribute an extra $5,500 to your employer's 401(k), 403(b), 457 or Thrift Savings Plan -- for a total of $23,000 a year. The higher limits kick in at a time when many parents have finished paying the college bills, meaning there's more money to set aside in a tax-advantaged account as retirement looms.
For more information about making the most of your 401(k), see Smart Ways to Boost Your 401(k). Also see our The Power of Boosting 401(k) Contributions tool for the impact the extra contributions can make on your retirement savings.
If you have a health savings account, you can boost your tax-deductible contributions to the HSA by an extra $1,000 starting in the year you turn age 55 -- bringing your total to $4,250 for the year if you have individual coverage, or $7,450 if you have family coverage.
