What to gift women on March 8?
Most likely, the vast majority of those who plan to congratulate women on March 8th have already bought the gifts. However, our press release may give a hint to those who are still undecided. KIIS has been asking women about what they would like to receive as a gift on March 8 for 10 years already. In addition, we are interested in men's plans and we see that they take into account our tips.
COMMENTARY ABOUT THE STANDARDS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL RATINGS
It turns out that many people interpret the sociological ratings incorrectly. Partly it is the fault of sociologists because they can not agree on the standards for the publication of ratings (actually they have agreed on some but not all). This comment is ought to help the readers of our site to understand this matter.
The first thing that is always made public is the percentage of those who will vote for a particular party (or candidate) WITH THE RESPECT TO ALL RESPONDENTS. This is the direct results of the survey, and in relation to these indicators, the sampling errors are calculated. These data are needed to compare different studies, but THEY DO NOT SHOW WHAT PARTIES WILL BE ELECTED TO THE PARLIAMENT.
Are Ukrainians agree to change stereotypes, by dividing household duties and child care equally? The results of research of KIIS
In those Ukrainian families where the majority of domestic work takes women, only 22% of men are willing to equally divide household duties
In a joint project of the UN Population Fund in Ukraine and the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine "Happiness in 4 hands" Kyiv International Institute of Sociology conducted a research, which revealed the disparity in the views of women and men in the distribution of household chores and responsibilities for the care of children. Results are presented for those households where the woman still carries out all or most of the domestic duties.
44% of Ukrainians consider sex to be an important part of their lives — social research by KIIS
Almost 5% (4,9%) of Ukrainians aged 18 and older have never tried sex. 95,1% of population of Ukraine has already had sexual relations.
These are results of survey, conducted by Kiev International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) according to the request by "Ukraine today" enterprise.
The annual spring KIIS survey on what gifts women want to get for the International Women Day on March 8 and whether it coincides with the plans of men, showed that the overall understanding has almost been achieved.
According to the survey, the first six gifts that women would like to get for the mentioned holiday are: flowers, care and attention, jewelry, romantic travel, eau de toilette or perfume and cosmetics, romantic dinner.

We went through a lot since the last blog post. By "a lot" we mean a lot of changes, a lot of frustrations, few office hours with Benedetta and ITP's resident Pedro, again a lot of frustrations.
To be completely honest, we got stuck: we did a great research on kids development, did an amazing playtesting, but got stuck with electronics part.
We could stay stuck and write much more about our frustrations, but it's better to focus on finishing the project and moving forward.
We listened to Benedetta's advice: go back to a simple circuit with a couple of LEDs and make that work.
We chose to not fabricate any new pieces until we make it work with what we've got now.
I. Keep the battery in the ground piece and LED in the middle and top pieces.
We tried working on it but realized that we cannot really continue the power and ground to the top piece once we have first two pieces connected (because the circuit closes and there's no way to differentiate power and ground again).
So we went forward with the second option.
II. Have the battery in the middle piece and LEDs in the ground and top pieces.
The legs of LED in the ground piece are wired to the copper on the ladder of the piece. The copper goes through to the outside of the piece and acts as a connection point to the middle piece.
The battery (power and ground sides) is wired to the copper plates on the bottom of the piece. When two pieces touch, connection happens and LED in the ground piece lights up. At the same time there are two more wires extended from the copper plates of the bottom of the middle piece to the ladder of the piece to another two copper plates that act as a connection to the top piece.
In the top piece there's another LED with legs wired to the copper on the piece background. The the piece is put on the middle piece, connection happens and the second LED lights up.
Then moved into making our own switches and connecting it to the breadboard.
Then added the second switch to act as a top piece and finally made it work!
One lesson learnt hard way during the work: never solder directly onto the battery! We just had one exploding into Ruta's face.
After we had the Arduino and switches version working, we moved onto making a prototype. We used the same wooden pieces that we had from before and also found some acrylic in the junk shelf to cut for the covers.
To figure out the best way to connect the pieces: we want to use copper, but we need to find a way to hide it in acrylic and make it stable as it's still very loose now.
Once we have connections working 100% choose final components for the outcomes: whether stronger LEDs or change one LED to the speaker, etc.
All before this Thursday when we're presenting it in the class.


The 144th Fighter Wing's role is to defend California against air threats using its 21 F-15C and D Eagles and also to support America's counter-drug programme with its single C-26A Metroliner, all of which fly out of Fresno Air National Guard Base situated at Fresno International Airport.
The 144th FW's history began in October 1943 when it was activated during World War II as the 372nd Fighter Group, training pilots to fly P-39 Aircobras and P-40 Warhawks at Hamilton Field, California.
In 1946 the 372nd was renamed the 144th Fighter Group and assigned to the 61st Fighter Wing of the California Air National Guard.
These squadrons were tasked to defend their respective states and all equipped with F-51D Mustangs.
In 1949, the 144th Fighter Group moved with the 194th Fighter Squadron moved from NAS Alameda to Hayward Air National Guard Base. Following the reorganisation of the Air National Guard in October 1950, California ANG withdrew the 61st Fighter Wing and replaced by the 144th Fighter Bomber Wing using the same the same personnel and equipment and also absorbed the 144th Fighter Group with it's three assigned squadrons.
The 144th was redesignated the 144th Fighter Interceptor Wing in July 1955 having transitioned to the F-86A jet shortly before hand. The 194th Fighter Squadron along with the wing relocated to Fresno Airport in 1957. 1964 saw the 144th FW replace the F-86 with the F-102 and in 1974 moved to the F-106.
They changed aircraft again on 1st January 1984 to the F-4D Phantom, which they flew until 30th September 1989.On 1st October 1989 they re-equipped with the F-16A Falcon, a cutting edge aircraft that represented a new era for the Fighter Wing. 1995 saw 18 upgraded F-16C Fighting Falcons replace the A models. When the 144th Fighter Interceptor Wing was reassigned to the Air Combat Command in 1992 they were renamed to it's current name, The 144th Fighter Wing. November 2013 saw the 144th Fighter Wing replace the F-16Cs with F-15C Eagles which are operated to this day.
The wing has 325 full time personnel running the day to day duties. On the first weekend of every month, the Air National Guard runs a 'Drill Weekend' where part time reservists work on keeping their skills within their trade current. This swells up to 990 personnel, made up of anything from engineers, pilots, firemen, air traffic controllers, operations staff and caterers.
All images in this report were taken from Death Valley National Park in Nevada. The painted jets were acquired by the 144th after the 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis AFB in Las vegas, was deactivated. Days after these images were taken, they were repainted standard grey ready for a Red Flag Exercise. 78-0504 wore blue, 78-0538 and 78-0480 wore brown.

Original inhabitants of the current East Granby area were Native American peoples, including the Algonquin/Poquonock, the Massaco, and the Agawam.[2]
The East Granby area was first settled by Europeans in 1664, which was one of the four Congregational parishes in Simsbury.[3] The Turkey Hills Ecclesiastical Society in 1786 became a section of Granby, and in 1858 was incorporated as the Town of East Granby.
The first incorporated copper mine in America resided in what is now East Granby. The mine later became Old Newgate Prison, a Revolutionary War jail and the first state prison in the United States (1790).
Farming was the mainstay of the town for much of its history. The early twentieth century saw local farmers specializing in dairy product and tobacco.
East Granby experienced a housing boom that started in 1951 and resulted in a rise in population.[4]
The town celebrated its 150th anniversary with a three-day festival June 7-9, 2008.

East Granby is in the Farmington valley, with the Farmington River passing along the southern border of the town. The Metacomet Ridge, a mountainous trap rock ridgeline that stretches from Long Island Sound to nearly the Vermont border, runs through the center of the town, cutting off Salisbury Plain to the east, which used to lie under the ancient, glacial Lake Hitchcock. High points on the Metacomet Ridge in East Granby include Hatchet Hill and Peak Mountain; the latter offers a bird's eye view of the historic Old Newgate Prison. The 51-mile (82 km) Metacomet Trail traverses the ridge.

Sugar tax 'should be scrapped'
Alice Cooke · 12 July, 2016
The proposed sugar tax on soft drinks will fail in its health aims, result in fewer jobs and damage the UK's economy, according to the TaxPayers' Alliance (TPA).
In this year's Budget, chancellor George Osborne proposed a tax on sugary soft drinks.
The TPA has now called on the government to abandon the levy on soft drinks, after its study calculated 5,624 jobs in the soft drinks industry and associated sectors will be lost, equivalent to £90,622,36 in average industry and related-sector pay.
The study said a sugar tax would lead to the treasury receiving £17,399,370 less a year in job-related taxes, including £11,188,648 of employee's National Insurance contributions and Income Tax, as well as £6,210,723 of employer's National Insurance contributions.
Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TPA, said: "Not only will the sugar tax fail in its public health aims, there is a very real risk that it will destroy jobs and harm economic growth. Given it will also hit the poorest households the hardest, the already flimsy case for a sugar tax is rapidly dissolving.
"The government should be focusing on policies which encourage economic growth, so the sugar tax should be immediately scrapped."
An HM Treasury spokesperson said: "The soft drinks industry levy is a major step forward in our efforts to tackle childhood obesity, treating obesity and its consequences costs the taxpayer £5.1bn every year.
"The money from the levy will go towards funding more school sport, and expanding school breakfast clubs."
The TPA has previously criticised the government's decision to pursue a levy, calling it a "bungled" tax that will "hit the poorest families hardest". It also claimed it would have no "meaningful" impact on calorie intake.

I must say, I've quite enjoyed seeing bbPress mature over the last couple of cycles and personally couldn't be more thrilled to see that both BuddyPress and bbPress are growing up to be fine outstanding pieces of software.
Also, I hope bbPress 2.3 is finally deemed good enough to replace the bbPress forum software still used on .org and the international sites. We could use a better solution there ;).


Joe Zawinul belongs in a category unto himself -- a European from the heartland of the classical music tradition (Vienna) who learned to swing as freely as any American jazzer, and whose appetite for growth and change remains insatiable. Zawinul's curiosity and openness to all kinds of sounds made him one of the driving forces behind the electronic jazz-rock revolution of the late '60s and '70s -- and later, he would be almost alone in exploring fusions between jazz-rock and ethnic music from all over the globe. He is one of a bare handful of synthesizer players who actually learned how to play the instrument, to make it an expressive, swinging part of his arsenal. Prior to the invention of the portable synthesizer, Zawinul's example helped bring the Wurlitzer and Fender-Rhodes electric pianos into the jazz mainstream. Zawinul also has became a significant composer, ranging (like his idol Duke Ellington) from soulful hit tunes to large-scale symphonic jazz canvases. Yet despite his classical background, he now prefers to improvise compositions spontaneously on to tape, not write them out on paper.
At six, Josef Erich Zawinul started to play the accordion in his native Austria, and studies in classical piano and composition at the Vienna Conservatory soon followed. His interest in jazz piano, initially influenced by George Shearing and Erroll Garner, led to jobs with Austrian saxophonist Hans Koller in 1952 and gigs with his own trio in France and Germany. He emigrated to the United States in late 1958 after winning a scholarship to Berklee, yet after just one week in class, he left to join Maynard Ferguson's band for eight months, where Miles Davis first took notice of him. Following a brief stay with Slide Hampton, Zawinul became Dinah Washington's pianist from 1959 to 1961, and then spent a month with Harry "Sweets" Edison before Cannonball Adderley picked him to fill the piano chair in his Quintet. There Zawinul stayed and blossomed for nine years, contributing several compositions to the Adderley bandbook -- among them the major pop hit "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," "Walk Tall" and "Country Preacher" -- and ultimately helping to steer the Adderley group into the electronic era. While with Adderley, Zawinul evolved from a hard bop pianist to a soul-jazz performer heavily steeped in the blues, and ultimately a jazz-rock explorer on the electric piano. Toward the end of his Adderley gig (1969-1970), he was right in the thick of the new jazz-rock scene, recording several pioneering records with Miles Davis, contributing the title tune of Davis' In a Silent Way album.
After recording a self-titled solo album, Zawinul left Adderley to form Weather Report with Wayne Shorter and Czech bassist Miroslav Vitous in November 1970. Weather Report gave the increasingly self-confident Zawinul a platform to evolve even further as his interest in propulsive grooves and music from Africa and the Middle East ignited and developed. He gradually dropped the electric piano in favor of a series of ever-more-sophisticated synthesizers which he mastered to levels never thought possible by those who derided the instruments as sterile, unfeeling machines. Weather Report eventually became a popular group that appealed to audiences beyond jazz and progressive rock, thanks in no small part to Zawinul's hit song "Birdland."
When Zawinul and Shorter finally came to a parting of ways in 1985, Zawinul started to tour all by himself, surrounded by keyboards and rhythm machines, but resurfaced the following year with a short-lived extension of Weather Report called Weather Update (which did not leave any recordings). Weather Update quickly evolved into another group, the Zawinul Syndicate, which over the span of a decade has been tilting increasingly toward groove-oriented world music influences. Zawinul has also shown renewed interest in his European roots, collaborating with fellow Viennese classical pianist Friedrich Gulda from 1987 to 1994, producing a full-blown classically-based symphony Stories of the Danube in 1993, and following the near-disastrous Malibu fires of 1994, moving from California to New York City in order to be closer to Europe. In 2002 he released Faces & Places, his first studio album in several years and one that boasted an international roster of supporting musicians.
Check out this vintage footage of Joe Zawinul with Weather Report playing Black Market. Notice how the lead synth keyboard is reversed!! Classic phased Rhodes sound, Oberheim 4-voice to his right and Arp 2600 to his right.

vCreate is Now Available to All UK Children's Hospices at No Cost
Last December saw Zoë's Place Baby Hospice in Middlesbrough become the first hospice to implement vCreate. They use it to record and send secure video and photo updates of the children in their care, to parents when they are apart.
We are delighted to now share that Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) have also begun using the system to help support their families, and they have already received some wonderful feedback. Lindsey's son Cody is supported by Robin House, one of the centres run by CHAS, and she said:
"Our family have experienced an incredibly difficult time, and the anxiety of being separated from my son has made it unbearable at times. Robin House wouldn't let me feel like that and shared all his events and special moments with me in real-time. The tears of joy came when I opened my first vCreate message and saw my boy! A feeling of peace came over me at once knowing he was alright and enjoying himself."
Eilidh Grant is the Activities Coordinator at Robin House and as she explains:
"It can be difficult for families to leave their child at the hospice on their own, especially if it's for the first time. By using vCreate we can send instant updates and it means parents can keep in touch with their child no matter where they are or what the time of day. This helps ease any worries and reduces separation anxiety, and is also a great way to capture special moments that families can treasure forever."
We are so happy to hear that the system is providing comfort and reassurance to parents and helping to build a library of memorable moments. We would love for more hospices to benefit from this service, so we are offering vCreate to all children's hospices in the UK free of charge. Ben Moore, Founder of vCreate, says:
"We want to do whatever we possibly can to help support families, healthcare workers, and patients in children's hospices across the UK. We know from our experience in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units that these updates make a real difference to families' mental health, and help with staff morale during these extremely challenging times."
To enquire about getting vCreate up and running in your children's hospice at no cost, please contact us.
