Syrian Trainees Tell Stories in Their Own Words
While many journalists travel to the Turkish border to hear the stories of Syrian refugees, journalist Hala Droubi and the Karam Foundation are doing something refreshingly different. They have created a program that provides young Syrians with the knowledge and skills to tell their own story.
Written by Hala Droubi Published on  April 12, 2016 Read time Approx. 5 minutes
The Karam Foundation's first workshop at the al-Salam School in Reyhanli, Turkey in November 2014. The Karam Foundation
It was a solid piece of journalism – about higher education in Syria's opposition-held areas – so the editor-in-chief of Sada al-Shaam did not hesitate to place it on the Arabic newspaper's front page. The article was bylined Ahmad Saflo and was published on November 3, 2015.
Ahmad will remember this article – his first front page article – for a long time. And so will I.
The story of that article is also the story of how myself and journalist, Kenana Haidar, an Istanbul-based Syrian reporter, accidentally came to teach journalism to at al-Salam school in the southern Turkish city of Reyhanlı and the program that emerged from it.
We had traveled to the school as part of a group of mentors working with Karam Foundation's Leadership Program and our intention was to write stories about students who had fled Syria in search of a safer life.
But just one day into our trip I understood there was a certain egoism, or perhaps a sense of entitlement, behind my belief that I could convey their voices and their stories by writing about them myself. My writing of their stories did not matter. What mattered was that they tell their own stories, how and when they want to. What I had to do was try to give them back their voice. I could only provide them with the tools and skills needed, and then listen.
I shared my thoughts with the organizers of the Leadership Program, and together we decided to prepare a journalism course. The group's manager, Lina Sergie, gave me a pile of notebooks and pens she had brought along and said, "Let them write."
The decision to teach journalism came about quickly, and so did the preparation of a simple curriculum to teach the basic principles of journalism. On the outskirts of Reyhanlı, we sat in the small lobby of a hotel renowned for its wedding hall where wealthy locals celebrate their marriages. The hall was empty that evening, and so was the lobby and the streets around it. We searched online for programs we could use, and ended up choosing the Reuters Handbook as the backbone of our course. By dawn, we had a structure and were ready to begin.

More than 60 students gathered around a small whiteboard in the schoolyard: a glorious silence, imbued with focus and curiosity. The idea took flight and so did the students. Their questions were ahead of our curriculum. Each evening we returned to the hotel and worked on developing and expanding the program, only to have them demand more the following day.
I did not notice Ahmad Saflo, Hassan Fadel and Moaz Mansour on the first day, but by the fourth and last day they had left an impression. They made a video report about the Karam Foundation's journalism course. We hadn't asked them for a report, nor had we suggested the idea. We hadn't covered video editing during that first course or even mentioned what software to use. But they had used their mobile phones to shoot the videos, had interviewed people, had downloaded free editing software and prepared their report in the evening.
During the four days we spent with the students, we covered many topics that were not on our initial agenda and had imagined to be beyond their age and understanding: How do you adhere to accuracy and objectivity while writing about a war that you are a part of? What does neutrality mean? Would you refer to those who were killed on your side as martyrs, but withhold the title from those killed on your enemy's side? How do you protect your sources without sacrificing transparency? How do you maintain a neutral stance, when you are a reporter during the day but go home in the evening to the side of the conflict you belong to? How do you consciously separate those two parts of your life? What is the difference between a reporter and a media activist? What is missing when a reporter who does not speak your language or understand the details of your society writes about you?
The ethics and techniques of journalism are relevant in some way to all Syrian students today, regardless of what profession they choose. Following the news and being aware of who produces it and how means becoming a selective, critical and engaged reader rather than a passive recipient.
A year later we returned with a team of five reporters. This time we worked with 15 students on more advanced skills like filming, editing and writing for radio and television.
Ahmad, Hassan and their friend Muhannad Ibrahim – who has a natural talent for camera work – moved to Istanbul. Moaz, who did exceptionally well in the journalism course, did not join them. He moved to Germany and applied for asylum there. Hassan, who possesses unconditional optimism, tried to follow him but did not manage to cross the sea, and ended up staying in Turkey.
The three young men started internships with the Sada al-Shaam newspaper, under the direct mentorship of its editor-in-chief, Absi Smesem, in November 2014.
Under different circumstances, the students' initial video report about our visit to their school might have been ordinary, but in this context it had a huge significance: it confirmed to us the students' serious desire to tell and document their stories. It was also one year, full of training and near continuous work, that separated that first report and Ahmad Saflo's front page piece on November 3, 2015.
Now, in collaboration with a number of reporters and journalism training centers, we developed the Karam Journalism Program and created two tracks. The first track is designed to teach the high schoolers we meet during our school visits the basics of newswriting and the ethics of journalism. The second track has a number or prerequisites: students must have a genuine desire to study and practice journalism; they must pass an Arabic language test; and they have to complete two essays. Selected students move to Istanbul to train at newspapers while attending English and Turkish language courses, as well as advanced journalism workshops that we organize for them.

Today, while writing these words, I sent Ahmad a text message asking how he was doing now that he has a steady job at a media office in Istanbul. He told me that he had just returned from Reyhanlı, where he – together with Muhannad, the twins Hassan and Hussein Fadel and their colleagues Ahmad Hammady and Amr Kurdy – had finished a short film they had written, filmed and directed. He sent me a group photo of "the Zoom Group," the journalism and production enterprise they founded. The photo also shows a camera and a young man and woman who are the main characters of the group's next film. Naturally, he also sent me a link to their Facebook page, which I immediately "liked."
"Well, Miss," Ahmad said, using the title commonly used by students in Syria to address their female teachers, "there are so many cases of suicide these days. We wanted to shed light on that and tell those stories."
As Ahmad puts it, the group has a mass of topics to draw on, stories that in their opinion are all worth covering. They will tell them in their own way, using the tools that they choose and in their own time.

Finding Sustainable Sources, and Substitutes, for Rare Earth Minerals is Critical
The irresponsible sourcing of rare-earth and other minerals has been used as a cudgel against the energy transition. But the fact is, these minerals have been critical components of a whole host of non-clean technologies for a long time. For instance, cobalt, in addition to being used in lithium ion batteries, has long been a key ingredient for desulfurization of gasoline.
So it's not about whether we are going to use more rare earths – we are going to. But pushing companies to pay attention to sourcing is going to be critical.
Where we can, finding substitutes is a great idea too, and is being done. One example would be how battery manufacturers are moving away from lithium ion and towards lithium iron phosphate batteries, which do not use cobalt and nickel, two increasingly problematic and expensive minerals.
Don't underestimate the potential for more of this substitution as more engineers get pulled into this space.
Electrek:
Tesla confirmed that nearly half of all its vehicles produced last quarter are already using cobalt-free iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The information also gives us an interesting insight into Tesla's mix of models, which is generally quite opaque.
Over the last few years, CEO Elon Musk has said multiple times that Tesla plans to shift more electric cars to LFP batteries in order to overcome nickel and cobalt supply concerns.
Iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which don't use nickel or cobalt, are traditionally cheaper and safer, but they offer less energy density, which means less efficient and shorter range for electric vehicles.
However, they have improved enough recently that it now makes sense to use cobalt-free batteries in lower-end and shorter-range vehicles.
It also frees up the production of battery cells with other, more energy-dense chemistries to produce more longer-range vehicles.
Tesla already moved its Standard Range Model 3 and Model Y produced in China to LFP cells.
Below, video describes Ford's transition to LFP batteries.

Unless our billionaires (and KoBold and Bluebird) make a success of sourcing from Greenland, no abused laborers needed.

I've been thinking about and pounding you in this blog with the idea of not wasting people's time (also see here). I found out two things today, one is that I'm not the only one thinking about it, and, second that recent research says that in order for people to be happy they like to spend a certain amount of time on some activities.
Tagged happiness, Innovation, value innovation.
Should everyone in a society be innovative?
This almost makes me wonder if we want all people to be innovative? I know that being innovative is a goal and a highly valued quality, but you as you said, the copy-cat aspect of human nature is required for our continued survival. I suppose the question truly is "Should everyone in a society be innovative?" Yes, being a stick-in-the mud is probably not good if the society wants to be dynamic, a definite plus for the society's probability for surviving.
I will have to think on this more, but as with every observation I see, I think the "why" is almost always more important than the "what."
Yes it's an interesting question but I would frame it another way: Do we want everyone in society to fulfill their potential? If the answer is yes, then being innovative becomes a desirable quality because that's 'what' innovation really is. If you have the desire to become better consistently all the time you stand a better chance of innovating because you're a lot more open to new things, new experiences, new ideas and have a higher tolerance for failure.
In the past month I spent close to 9 hours with support representatives from a couple of companies with whom I've had issues with. One is Sprint and the other is Dell.
While 9 hours in a month doesn't seem like a lot, believe me it's a lot. When I was in high school I worked at a call center as a tech support representative for Verizon Wireless, so believe me when I say that spending a lot of time on the phone trying to resolve an issue is incredibly annoying for both the customer and the support representative. Especially when you (the customer) doesn't get the issue resolved. As a support representative you can either make a customers day or you can become the focus of their anger.
One question I ask representatives all the time, which they have no idea how to answer, is: Why do I have to repeat myself every time I'm transferred from one representative to the other?
Wouldn't it be easier if the first person you talk to took your information, entered it onto 'the system' once and it remained there for everyone to access until your matter is solved? This way the next person who gets to talk to you knows what's going on before you even open your mouth. No seriously, we've got the technology to do it we just need someone to start acting differently and do it. Zappos has figured this out and does it in their own kind of way!
Believe me when I say that people take these calls for granted. As customers we know that whenever we call customer support we're probably going to spend a good amount of time on the phone. What if you (the biz) broke this expectation and actually made it less annoying when we call? Customers are annoyed before they even call!
The issue I had with Dell also got me thinking about the element of time. I was without my laptop for 2 weeks and more is coming because another hardware issue came with the fix so I have to send it back. As I was telling my friend Arnold Beekes about it he suggested that Dell should have provided me with a temporary laptop while mine was being fixed, similar to how car dealerships do when you bring your car in for a check up.
These are the types of things that make a difference in the customer experience but some companies don't figure it out until it's too late. What if companies got annoyed when they felt they've wasted their customers time? What type of behaviors would emerge? In what ways would their business strategy change? How would their business model change?
Personally the issue of wasting people's time does not sit well with me, so whenever I feel others (can be company or person) are wasting my time it annoys me. It also works the other way, if I feel that I'm wasting your time it bothers me.

Spotted this tweet a few minutes ago: #Innovation is rare. Proof: millions of cookbooks sold and read all with practically the same recipes. What gives?
Innovation is about people and whatever beliefs, habits and attitudes people have are the limiting factors that prevent them from adopting new viewpoints or ideas. Yes, innovation can be taught but as Jose Briones says: it requires that people have an open mind and that is an incredibly scarce resource.
My amigo Jonathan Amm from @ThinkTank_ probably said it best when he described the work we do as psychology work because those of us who are innovation insurgents are really in the business of opening people's minds, unplugging them from the resistance. As far as all the recipes in books go, I wouldn't be surprised that 10 years from now we're still be talking about how to help make people more innovative because human nature is one itch most don't like to scratch. Most don't and can't think for themselves and resort to copycatting, which is essential to human evolution but detrimental to an organizations ability to be innovative.
Another thing to consider is that until only recently has 'innovation' moved to other realms other than the traditional product and service innovation. Areas like management innovation which deals with how we organize people around work is very important, this is an area where I personally think organizations can make the biggest impact.
Yes, innovation IS rare but anyone has the potential to do it.

We value our clients' feedback and would love to hear from you. Let us know if you'd like to contribute and share your experience!
Here's what they're saying
I recently litigated a third-party work injury case involving multi-million dollar damages which also happened to be intermingled with a workers comp death benefits claim. Naturally, I was quite familiar with how to navigate the third-party claim for my client but my big concern was that in settling the claim for a large settlement figure that the workers' comp insurance carrier would subrogate against the settlement and that the monthly workers' comp death benefits would be taken away from my client. I was referred to Michael Graham by another attorney who told me that his expertise would have a positive impact on this case. Michael Graham partnered with my firm and helped us devise a strategy that ultimately resolved the issue in a way that was most favorable to my client.
Because of his expertise and diligence, my client ultimately received somewhere in the range of a couple hundred thousand dollars in benefits that may have otherwise been stripped from them as the other case came to fruition. Michael Graham has proven to me that he is a true professional and an invaluable asset. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a workers' compensation lawyer.
Keith Purdue, Texas lawyer
Michael Graham is an excellent workers' compensation attorney and I really cannot say enough good things about him. He is easily one of the best and hardest working lawyers in the industry. My firm handles a considerable number of nonsubscriber and third-party work injury cases and anytime we run into a scenario where workers' comp is involved, we always request the services of Michael Graham to guide us through the various legal technicalities. Let's put it this way, I have been practicing law for 20 years and if I were ever in need of a Texas work injury attorney, I would want Michael Graham to represent me.
Michael Grossman, Dallas attorney
The firm I work for handles a large quantity of nonsubscriber and third-party work injury claims. As such, we are contacted by many potential clients that are need of help with their work comp claims, only we don't handle those cases. I provide Michael Graham's contact information to every single one of these injured workers and they continuously call me back and thank me for referring them to him. Mr. Graham is always quick to address their concerns and he provides them with valuable insight about their case. I feel very comfortable knowing that every time I refer someone to Dallas workers' comp attorney Michael Graham that they will be well taken care of. Texas work injury laws can be rather confusing to most injured workers as there are multiple sets of laws that may apply. Michael Graham has such an understanding of the law that he is able to adequately explain these complexities in terms that anyone can understand. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone that is searching for a good workers' compensation lawyer in Texas.
Cory Carlson, Case development manager GLO, PC
Excellent attorney. He got great results for me in workers' comp court!
After calling about 10 lawyers, I was finally referred to S. Michael Graham.
The Workers' Compensation insurance Carrier was denying all of my income benefits and medical benefits. Michael Graham was confident about our chances at court. After we went to 3 hearings, he finally won my case. I was paid all of my back pay and also received the medical treatment and low back surgery that I needed.
Again, I would highly recommend attorney Michael Graham. He is a hardworking, professional attorney who really knows the law of workers' compensation.
Thank you very much, Attorney Michael Graham for taking our case to workers' compensation court and winning where other attorneys previously failed.
My brother suffered a serious work related injury and his employer's insurance Carrier wrongfully refused to acknowledge his injury.
We initially hired a worker's comp. lawyer in Houston who accepted my brother's case, but he had difficulties handling his case with the employer's attorney's and with the workers compensation insurance. The w/c claim was totally disputed. He abruptly dropped our case due to the fact he felt he could not win our case.
We next consulted the help of Attorney S. Michael Graham who diligently started preparing our case for a hearing before the workers' compensation commission. With his past and current knowledge of workers'
compensation claims and laws he was able to successfully take our case to workers' comp court and win full income and medical benefits.
He is an attorney committed to providing his clients with effective and serious legal representation.
Again, we want to thank you very much for all your help in winning our workers' compensation claim!
Mr Michael graham he put attention to you when you have ? For him and he does not hesitate to help you on whatever he can according to his knowledge I trust him hiss a good lawyer thank you Mr Michael Graham
Thank you Attorney Michael Graham for taking my Workers Compensation case to court and winning.
The insurance carrier wrongfully refused to acknowledge my injury. Michael Graham diligently started preparing my case for a hearing before the Workers Compensation Commission, then to court before the Judge and successfully won.

The remaining 25% would be collected from a list of all nationwide recognized justices inclusively of any justices on the first list who were not chosen in the first trackling.
So if, for example, the panel was to be consisted of 15 justices, then 11 of them would be haphazardly collected each year from the list of skilled previously Semi finalists and Finalist justices for that style. The remaining 4 justices would be collected haphazardly from a list of all nationwide recognized justices, proponents of all styles, inclusively of any on the first list who were not chosen in the first trackling.

Salmonella Cucumbers Recalled After Elderly Woman Dies
By Philip Wilmot
San Diego's Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce has recalled its cucumbers marketed as "limited edition" following the death of a 99-year-old woman who may have consumed the product.
285 people across 27 states have been plagued by a salmonella outbreak associated with the vegetables which originated in northern Mexico. The outbreak began on July 3. About three quarters of those whose health have been affected are minors.
The company has been collaborating with health officials to determine whether their product is the true origin of the salmonella outbreak. As a voluntary precaution, they have recalled the cucumbers.
According to USA Today, Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce partner Dave Murray noted that the health and safety of the company's consumers are their highest priorities. "We've invested millions to make sure our food safety systems are effective and up to date," he said.
We've invested millions to make sure our food safety systems are effective and up to date.
Company president Fred Williamson said in a statement reported by The New York Times, "We are taking all precautions possible to prevent further consumption of this product and are working to learn if and how these cucumbers are involved in the ongoing outbreak."
Most of the affected states are in the western half of the country, New Jersey and South Carolina were among those affected on the east coast. Washington state reported nine cases of infection, though none of them have led to hospitalization. 19 other cases were reported in the deceased woman's county.
Salmonella outbreaks can begin in a wide variety of food products. Those infected often experience symptoms such as fever, stomach cramps, and diarrhea anywhere between half a day to three days after eating an infected product. Most infected people can recover without treatment after four to seven days.
Customers who may have purchased the cucumbers have been advised by Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce to either return the products or throw them away.

A quick post today on my thoughts about why many people experience general down cycles in terms of happiness. This is different from depression, although the thoughts in this post could well be applicable to it.
My theory is that the sedentary lifestyle that most people live today has given rise to this issue of feeling unhappy all the time. It's common knowledge that exercise makes you feel better, but I didn't quite realise the impact it actually had on my quality of life until I started working out consistently.
I spent the majority of my university life in a state of constant unhappiness. Of course, there were ups and downs, but I'm talking about a general level of unhappiness. There were times when I would be feeling down for no apparent reason whatsoever. I never questioned this, and even thought it was normal. After all, why would you feel happy for no reason, right?
At the start of summer, I decided to try a 2 week experiment. I changed my sleeping habit and started waking up at 6.30 every morning and going either for a bike ride or to the gym. At the end of every session, I would feel a natural high that allowed me to go through my day feeling relaxed and happy. I constantly felt lethargic, unmotivated and unhappy, but since I made this change, I've never felt better at any other point in my life.
In fact, I enjoyed the experiment so much that it's become my daily routine. It's pretty much an automatic process now, compared to before, when I would struggle to motivate myself just to go to the gym.
Exercise is the secret to happiness. Or at least, it's a big part of happiness. A potential reason for this is the release of endorphins into your system. Endorphins provide an effect similar to that of opiates – a euphoric feeling, or a natural high. This is the feeling you get after a solid workout session.
I'm sure everyone knows that exercise has been linked to a diminution of stress levels, better health, etc. Before I started the 2 week experiment, I severely underestimated the impact it would have on my quality of life, and working out was always an "option". I no longer consider it an option. I use my workout as part of the scaffolding for my day.
I think that if society led a more active lifestyle, it's quite possible that there would be a significant reduction in mental health issues (I don't know if research has gone into this, at this point it's simply an opinion based on my own observations and experience). As part of my mental health training, I noticed that a common pattern to recovering from mental health problems was the "Trinity of Happiness" (I don't think anyone actually calls it that, just me); exercise, nutrition and sleep.
People greatly underestimate the effect that these activities have on them and I think it's a terrible shame. Part of the problem can be remedied with education, but as usual, this needs to come from within. The individual needs to be open to the idea and willing to try it out.
Essentially, if you work out consistently, you'll be significantly happier.
Disclaimer: I am not professionally trained in psychology, and these ideas are simply for discussion purposes and to encourage further research.
I think our society leads a lifestyle that makes us highly susceptible to feeling unhappy.
My theory is that exercise could be the remedy for this.
Yes yes and yes. I totally agree with your theory, as the gym had changed my life as well!
That's really cool! Also thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you thought of the post. I really appreciate the feedback. You have a great blog by the way, I can see the effort you've put in and it's brilliant!
Thank you 🙂 it has so much work but it's still new so I have room to grow.
Exercise has been a massive part of my mental health journey. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I've had a similar experience myself, so I'm really happy to hear it's helped you too! And thanks for stopping by, I appreciate the feedback!
Exercising does help me stay in a good place mentally. There have been studies that show a correlations between exercise and lower rates of some mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Although these are only correlation studies, I do believe that some people can have at least a slightly improved mood when they find a form of exercise that they like and can be consistent with it.
Yeah, me too for sure. You're completely right about studies only proving correlation rather than causation, and that's always something most people overlook so I'm glad you brought that up! What's your favourite form of exercise?
I can't choose between one lol. I love cardio, bodyweight exercises, and strength training. What is your favorite?


Many Republicans in Congress just have a fundamental disagreement over whether we should have more or less oversight of insurance companies. And if they truly believe that less regulation would lead to higher quality, more affordable health insurance, then they should vote against the proposal I've put forward.
I imagine this is a difficult passage for Obama. Bipartisanship, consensus, mutual understanding: these values are woven into the president's political DNA. Bipartisanship formed the core of his first year of presidential addresses. Consensus lived at the heart of his Democratic National Convention speech (we've got God in the blue states and gay friends in the red states...). Mutual understanding was the thesis of his superior speech on race. Acknowledging fundamental disagreement is anathema to the Obama brand. But sometimes disagreement is all you've got. Republicans won't vote to spend an extra $180 billion a year on health care by 2020 -- not ever. It's not because they haven't been nicely asked. It's not because they haven't heard the right arguments yet. It's because raising taxes violates their policy priorities and their political prospects.
I suppose the White House would argue that appearing to elicit GOP support was necessary to "create the political breathing room" for conservative Democrats to vote for the bill (if they do). Maybe that's right. But when you repeatedly tell Americans that you know consensus is within reach, the failure to reach a deal looks less like the other side's obstructionism and more like your own shortcoming. By elevating bipartisanship to a lofty virtue, by pretending that fundamental differences did not exist, the White House fetishized an invisible consensus that Americans begin to value, and expect, and demand and neither party expected to materialize.
Today acknowledging fundamental differences over health reform is a matter of face-saving, but it is also a matter of substance. If the two parties disagree on major issues, the honest thing to say is that both sides agree on the problem and disagree on the solution. Robert Gibbs likes to occasionally call on Congress to "put aside partisan differences." But of course, partisan differences is a puckish euphemism for "what people think." Why would anybody expect -- or ask voters to expect -- an elected official to put aside his values on the "most important piece of legislation in a generation"? The logic behind bipartisanship as a virtue is twisted, and yet Washington puts it on a pedestal above policy.
I hope Obama carries a lesson forward: Sometimes, the only consensus or mutual understanding between two sides is that there is neither consensus nor mutual understanding. This thing sounds old. But this thing is true.
*I mean about fundamental disagreement. The actual binary at play here -- Republicans want to protect private insurance companies at all costs; Democrats want to reform them -- is imperfect. The more accurate dichotomy is: Democrats want to insure every American and that costs money; Republicans don't want to spend any money, and so their plans barely extend coverage. The important thing is that Obama has drawn the line in the sand, with Republicans on one side and Democrats on the other.
Update: Jim Fallows is right.


This thesis discusses about digital audio watermarking by employing psychoacoustic model to make the watermarked signal inaudible to the audience. Due to the digital media data able to distribute easily without losing of data information, thus the intellectual property of musical creators and distributor may affected by this kind of circumstance . To prevent this, we propose the usage of spread spectrum technique and psychoacoustic model for embedding process, zero-forcing equalization and detection and wiener filtering for extracting process. Three samples of audio signal have been chosen for this experiment which are categorized as quiet, moderate, and noise state signal. The findings shows that our watermarking scheme achieved the intended purposes which are to test digital audio watermarking by employing psychoacoustic model, to embed different length of messages to test on accuracy of extracted data and to study the suitability on using hash function for verification of modification attacks.

Mykobiota, mikobiota, funga (ang. Mycobiota) – ogół grzybów występujących na określonym obszarze. Dawniej wykaz taksonów grzybów dla określonego obszaru nazywano florą grzybów, mikoflorą lub mykoflorą. Współczesny termin podkreśla brak pokrewieństwa grzybów i roślin. Nazwa funga została rekomendowana przez Komisję ds. Polskiego Nazewnictwa Grzybów Polskiego Towarzystwa Mykologicznego. Wśród argumentów, dla których ma być lepsza niż mykota lub mykobiota jest aliteracja z florą i fauną i lapidarność skrótu "FF&F" lub "3F".

Do mykobioty często zalicza się także lęgniowce. Obecnie należą one do odrębnego królestwa Chromista, dawniej jednak zaliczane były do grzybów i tradycyjnie często, zwłaszcza w fitopatologii są z praktycznych względów omawiane razem z grzybami.

Fascinated by the Chinese culture, I had researched what it was like to be a doctor in China. My thinking was that if my Chinese was good enough, I could go to China to practice for a few months to a year or so, and develop more of my Chinese, as well as see how healthcare works in another country. I didn't mind if my wages would be much lower, but it was the experience that would make the decreased wages worth it.
My research led me to see how fractured and weak the healthcare system in China was.
Doctors are overworked, and underpaid. A lot of doctors provided substandard health care as a result of an overwhelming number of patient demand that could not be met by the health care system. With a country that has over a billion people, it's no wonder. Coupled with the fact that there has been a net migration of rural residents flooding into the cities, and this will burden the health care system a lot.
Last year, my grandma needed to pay a visit to the hospital as a result of what was likely an asthma attack. In the hospital, everything is based around the almighty dollar. A deposit of around 5000 yuan was required upon being admitted as a patient, just so that you will be able to pay for your medical fees. And what should happen if you end up spending all that 5000 yuan? You get refused medical service. My aunty managed to bargain with the doctor's in hospital and was able to bargain the deposit down to 2000 yuan. But a couple of days as a patient, my grandma was not given her morning medications. When asked why, the nurse advised that her 2000 yuan deposit was all spent, and no medications would be provided until this amount was topped up.
Other things that seem to be wrong with the health system there, is the encouragement of the "hong bao" or red envelope. In China, a red envelope contains money, and is often given as a token of goodwill. For the rich in China, giving a red envelope gives them a sense that things can be accomplished more quickly, that the doctor will spend more quality time with the patient. My mum who had been to one of the hospitals had clearly seen a Chinese sign that states "No red envelopes allowed", yet I've heard that this gets curtailed by the use of credit cards given instead that are loaded with money.
The way that the doctor gets paid is also shocking. Doctors seem to get paid for prescribing things. In that way, this ends up to a lot of unnecessary prescribing for the sake of earning extra money. My father who had gone to one of the hospitals because of an upset tummy and 1 or 2 episodes of diarrhoea was offered IV fluids. He wasn't dehydrated or anything, and didn't need the IV fluids. Why give someone something when the risks of infection from the cannula etc outweighed the benefits? Perhaps by giving IV fluids, it is relatively "safe" and makes good money as well, and in the minds of other patients, they think something is being done.
Finally, perhaps the most disheartening thing I've read, have been doctor killings from patients. A times article sums up this perfectly here.
It's quite sad actually, but I've been told that being a doctor in China is not what people aspire to, given the great responsibility and little financial reward given. I don't blame them given the way doctors are being treated there.

A Bright Future for Jewish Education and Technology
By Daniel Septimus
[This post is part of a series on the new report, The Future of Jewish Learning is Here: How Digital Media Are Reshaping Jewish Education, by Stanford University's Ari Y. Kelman. The report, commissioned by the Jim Joseph Foundation, was released in conjunction with the recent Jewish Funders Network conference. The series shares multiple perspectives on the findings and questions raised in The Future of Jewish Learning.]
Leading a digital, Jewish nonprofit is a complicated endeavor that evolves every year. This year's report from the Jim Joseph Foundation, "The Future of Jewish Learning is Here: How Digital Media Are Reshaping Jewish Education," captures many of the challenges that we at Sefaria confront daily – and even minute-to-minute.
I have been building online Jewish learning experiences for two decades – at the helm of MyJewishLearning and now at Sefaria. For the vast majority of that time, our community at large has been skeptical of online Jewish experiences. Over the years, I've been frequently confronted with a version of this question: "So people spend 20 minutes reading Torah or articles about Judaism on your website? And then what?"
The implication, of course, has been that time spent learning on Jewish websites was, at best, a means to another end. As a cheerleader for the digital revolution, and as a Jew brought up to value learning Torah for its own sake, I was baffled by the question. But the fact that a version of it was asked so often had me thinking that I was the weird one. For years, I'd gotten used to trotting out statistics about the percentage of people who use the Internet for important life decisions to try and persuade people that the Internet was more than just a fad.
In contrast, this new report from the Jim Joseph Foundation makes it clear that a new day has dawned. While many previous investigations into the Jewish Internet have presented it as a provisional phenomenon, this study accepts as its starting point that digital experiences shape our lives. It recognizes the essential truth that Jewish thought and education are alive and well online – whether on Facebook, on a podcast, on a site like Sefaria, or elsewhere.
This newly-realized admission that learning can happen everywhere is critical. Now, Jewish learning can be freed from the confines of the traditional, teacher-led classroom. And this has many potential benefits. Progressive education has always considered learning through exploration a better path to true education. By interconnecting the Jewish library, Sefaria allows different learners to click their way down rabbit holes that take the shape of their specific exploratory instincts.
In other words, digital learning is not always worse than in-real-life (IRL) learning – and it can sometimes be better. The amount of information online (and its varying degrees of reliability) may provide some challenges, but if we only focus on the explosion of fake news, we're missing the big picture. It's easier to learn about new things than ever before, and this information explosion is revolutionary for education, and has already been revolutionary for Jewish learning.
Indeed, this new report offers glimpses of a new narrative about early 21st century American Jews. While declining institutional membership has caused widespread panic, Jewish life is thriving online. Your local synagogue may have seen a reduction from 500 to 200 families since 2013, but more than 3 million people have studied Jewish texts on Sefaria since then.
Perhaps the most resonant, and easy-to-ignore finding of this report is the insight that online Jewish learning has created deeper awareness of the Jewish calendar. This is significant as our calendar provides a natural rhythm to access Jewish media, and it also appeals to people's deepest emotional connections to Judaism. Even I – a yeshiva-educated Jewish nonprofit CEO – sometimes only remember a minor holiday after receiving an email from Sefaria. Being in tune with the Jewish calendar can provide a deep connection to Jewish life, and digital media makes calendar awareness possible in ways that were not possible 25 years ago.
Ultimately, I appreciate The Future of Jewish Learning is Here for its understanding that the digital Jewish experience is not a threat to the real-life Jewish experience – they can and should operate in tandem, each enriching the other. Digital experiences should be appreciated for their scalability and for enabling things that are impossible in real-life. They do not replace the need for local community, of course. Instead they help many people find the right Jewish community – locally and online – that is the best fit for them.

Q: Whats the correct way of associating more data with a Select Option than just "value" I need my  to have more data attached to it. more than just the value attribute.
Right now I am giving option fake attributes and and giving them a value. How I think this is not a good way of doing it.
Is there another way?
eg pseudo code
<forEach ...>
    <option value="1" userId="4" somespecialCode="c11" ... >
         Description </option>
<end forEach>

edit:
I need to support IE7+

A: You can use HTML5 data attributes:
<option value="1" data-userId="4" data-somespecialCode="c11" ... >

That makes your HTML valid (assuming you're using <!DOCTYPE html> at the top of your page). Another option is having a JavaScript object with the data, indexed by option value.

A: Have a look at HTML 5 data attributes.
http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/htmlcss-tutorials/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-html5-data-attribute/
<forEach ...>
    <option value="1" userId="4" data-somespecialCode="c11" ... >
         Description </option>
<end forEach>

Heroin use and abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
Short Term Health Risks and Effects
Some users describe the initial effects of heroin as a rush that lasts only one or two minutes that is said to be caused by the injected heroin bathing the brain before it gets distributed by the bloodstream and changed into a more useable form of morphine. This "rush" effect is often glorified as a heightened sexual orgasm, and a great relief of tension, which pervades the abdomen. After the rush, the high lasts for four or five hours and is caused by the morphine diffusing from the bloodstream into the brain. It is described as a warm, drowsy, cozy state. Addicts report a profound sense of satisfaction, as though all needs were fulfilled. There is also a pleasant state of mild dizziness that is not as impairing as alcohol's effects, and a sense of 'distancing' or apathy toward whatever is going on in the environment. Eventually addicts lose this effect of euphoria, and use heroin only to relieve unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. It is estimated that about 23 percent of individuals who use heroin become dependent on it.
The health risks of heroin can be extremely serious and sometimes deadly. Such risks include fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, and the risk of contracting HIV/AIDS and hepatitis to the users who inject heroin intravenously. Heavy heroin addiction can effect the heart lining and valves and can cause abscesses, collapsed veins, and liver or kidney disease. Respiratory complications, such as different types of pneumonia may also develop caused by heroin's depressing effects on respiration. Additionally, street heroin often contains toxic additives and contaminants that can clog blood vessels leading to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain, causing permanent damage to vital organs.
Long Term Health Risks and Effects
Continued or long term heroin use causes the person to develop a tolerance to the drug. This means that as the body becomes used to the effects of heroin where higher doses are needed in order to produce the same effect. The addicts dose increases more and more which in turn greatly increases the health risks caused by heroin. Continued heroin use causes physical dependence where the body adapts to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced abruptly. Heroin withdrawal may occur within a few hours after the last time the drug is taken. Symptoms of withdrawal include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps ("cold turkey"), and involuntary leg movements ("kicking" the habit). Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 24 and 48 hours after the last dose of heroin and subside after about a week. However, some people have shown persistent withdrawal signs for many months. Heroin withdrawal is very rarely fatal to otherwise healthy adults, but it can cause death to the fetus of a pregnant addict.
One of the the most destructive effects of heroin addiction, other than overdose and death, would be the addiction to heroin itself. As the degree of the heroin addiction increases, behaviors such as lying, cheating, stealing, missing work, financial problems, and legal issues all become very serious effects that destroy the addicts life as well as for everyone associated to the heroin addict.
Describe the situation:
Heroin Facts
At some point during continuous heroin use, a person can become addicted to the drug. Sometimes addicted individuals will endure many of the withdrawal symptoms to reduce their tolerance for the drug so that they can again experience the rush. Physical dependence and the emergence of withdrawal symptoms were once believed to be the key features of heroin addiction. We now know this may not be the case entirely, since craving and relapse can occur weeks and months after withdrawal symptoms are long gone. We also know that patients with chronic pain who need opiates to function (sometimes over extended periods) have few if any problems leaving opiates after their pain is resolved by other means. This may be because the patient in pain is simply seeking relief of pain and not the rush sought by the addict.
What are the medical complications of chronic heroin use? Medical consequences of chronic heroin injection use include scarred and/or collapsed veins, bacterial infections of the blood vessels and heart valves, abscesses (boils) and other soft-tissue infections, and liver or kidney disease. Lung complications (including various types of pneumonia and tuberculosis) may result from the poor health condition of the abuser as well as from heroin's depressing effects on respiration.
Many of the additives in street heroin may include substances that do not readily dissolve and result in clogging the blood vessels that lead to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain. This can cause infection or even death of small patches of cells in vital organs. Immune reactions to these or other contaminants can cause arthritis or other rheumatologic problems. Sharing of injection equipment or fluids can lead to some of the most severe consequences of heroin abuse- infections with hepatitis B and C, HIV, and a host of other bloodborne viruses, which drug abusers can then pass on to their sexual partners and children.
How does heroin abuse affect pregnant women? Heroin abuse during pregnancy and its many associated environmental factors (e.g., lack of prenatal care) have been associated with adverse consequences including low birth weight, an important risk factor for later developmental delay. Methadone maintenance combined with prenatal care and a comprehensive drug treatment program can improve many of the detrimental maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with untreated heroin abuse, although infants exposed to methadone during pregnancy typically require treatment for withdrawal symptoms.
In the United States, several studies have found buprenorphine to be equally effective and as safe as methadone in the adult outpatient treatment of opioid dependence. Given this efficacy among adults, current studies are attempting to establish the safety and effectiveness of buprenorphine in opioid-dependent pregnant women. For women who do not want or are not able to receive pharmacotherapy for their heroin addiction, detoxification from opiates during pregnancy can be accomplished with relative safety, although the likelihood of relapse to heroin use should be considered.
Why are heroin users at special risk for contracting HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B and C? Heroin users are at risk for contracting HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), and other infectious diseases, through sharing and reuse of syringes and injection paraphernalia that have been used by infected individuals, or through unprotected sexual contact with an infected person. Injection drug users (IDUs) represent the highest risk group for acquiring HCV infection; an estimated 70 to 80 percent of the 35,000 new HCV infections occurring in the United States each year are among IDUs.
NIDA-funded research has found that heroin and other drug abusers can change the behaviors that put them at risk for contracting HIV through drug abuse treatment, prevention, and community-based outreach programs. They can eliminate drug use, drug-related risk behaviors such as needle sharing, unsafe sexual practices, and, in turn, the risk of exposure to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases. Drug abuse prevention and treatment are highly effective in preventing the spread of HIV.

A match tackling the issue of knife crime. Pic: Hackney Wick FC
A Hackney football club is set to play against a team of celebrities in a match to highlight the knife crime in London.
Hackney Wick Football Club will put a team up to play against an all-star celebrity line-up including several rappers and Hip-Hop artists such as Dave, Not3s, soul singer Don E and others on June 29 at London Marathon Community Track.
Bobby Kasanga, founder of Hackney Wick FC said: "The knife crime rate in London is spiralling out of control. The youths need to be inspired by their role models.
"Enough is enough and we want to raise this issue that's destroying our communities."
All proceeds earnt from the match will go back into the services that Hackney Wick FC runs in the community.
HWFC is a community football club that has 15 male and female teams, from under 7s through to adults.
They formed in April 2015 and through their charity work they seek to battle the dangers of youth violence and crime through education, sports, entrepreneurship, apprenticeships and access to work.
The number of knife-inflicted injuries on the under 20s has increased in the years 2012 and 2016- there were 957 victims in 2012, while in 2016 that figure increased by nearly 30% to 1,234.
The age which saw the biggest increase in injuries was 18, which rose by 44%.

In this article, I give you some tips and advice for the best ways to improve your English vocabulary.
It is fun and interesting to read a story or to read a news article. Since it is fun, you will be more motivated to do it and it won't seem like work or study. There is a real reason to learn the new words (to understand the story).
Another advantage of reading is that you will see the same word several times in different sentences. This repetition helps you learn more effectively.
Simplified books are also called "graded readers" or "easy readers." They are called "simplified" because the vocabulary is suitable for English learners to understand. The sentence structure is also adapted to English language students.
There are different levels of difficulty for all levels of English (from beginner/elementary to advanced.) I recommend at least the intermediate level. The books sometimes also have an audio version.
The girl was called Emma Morley. The boy's name was Dexter Mayhew. They were lying on the narrow bed in Emma's room in a shared flat. It was four o'clock in the morning. The two young people didn't know each other very well, but certainly this was a night for thinking about the future.
Example authors: David Nichols, Richard MacAndrew, Penny Hancock.
Publishers: Cambridge readers, Macmillan readers, Penguin readers.
Teen fiction books are for native speakers aged between 10 and 15.
Young adult (YA) books are for native speakers aged between 16 and 25.
Since they are for young native speakers, the level of English has also been slightly simplified. This makes them suitable for learners of the English language.
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought. Frightened meant that deep, sickening feeling of something terrible about to happen. Frightened was the way he had felt a year ago when an unidentified aircraft had over flown the community twice.
Example authors: Lois Lowry, Suzanne Collins, John Green.
I do not recommend you read the tabloid newspapers (The Sun, The Daily Star, The Daily Mirror, The Daily Express) because the style is very informal.
Tip: Ask the managers of English pubs and large international hotels to give you their old newspapers and magazines.
Magazines are an excellent way to learn new vocabulary. The photographs, short articles and more informal style are easier to understand than newspapers.
There are thousands of magazines to choose from. Choose a subject that interests you – you will be more motivated to read it!
Crosswords: You find words by solving clues.
Boggle: Players have 3 minutes to find words in the grid.
Scrabble: Players place letters on the board to form words.
My YouTube channel has over 450,000 subscribers from all over the world!
I have over 200 videos on my YouTube channel. All my videos have the words on the screen so that you can follow what I'm saying. It's an excellent way to learn new English words.
I strongly advise you to buy and use a good English dictionary.
At the front of the dictionary or online, you will find instructions of how to read the dictionary with the meaning of all the abbreviations. It is essential that you read those instructions.
A thesaurus is a book that lists words with similar meanings (synonyms) and opposite meanings (antonyms). A thesaurus is useful for finding alternative words to words you have already used. This avoids repetition.

Audio in your native language.
Then watch the film with English audio and subtitles.
After the film, look at the meaning of each word in the dictionary and choose only the most important and common words to add to your journal.
Watch and listen again to these new words in the film.
If you know the most common prefixes and suffixes, you will be able to deduce the meaning of new words.
They indicate part of the meaning of the whole word.

= The chair is without use!


Construction of instruments with this capability is now possible because of a fundamental advance in the quality of an optical material used in hyperlensing, a method of creating lenses that can resolve objects much smaller than the wavelength of light. The achievement was reported by a team of researchers led by Joshua Caldwell, associate professor of mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University, in a paper published Dec. 11 in the journal Nature Materials.
The researchers achieved this enhancement by making hBN crystals using isotopically purified boron. Natural boron contains two isotopes that differ in weight by about 10 percent, a combination that significantly degrades the crystal's optical properties in the infrared.
"We have demonstrated that the inherent efficiency limitations of hyperlenses can be overcome through isotopic engineering," said team member Alexander Giles, research physicist at the the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. "Controlling and manipulating light at nanoscale dimensions is notoriously difficult and inefficient. Our work provides a new path forward for the next generation of materials and devices."
The primary reason for developing hyperlenses is the prospect that they can provide such highly detailed images of living cells in their natural environments using low-energy light that does not harm them. In addition, using infrared light to perform the imaging can also provide spectroscopic information about the objects it images, providing a means to 'fingerprint' the material. These capabilities could have a significant impact on biological and medical science. The technology also has potential applications in communications and nanoscale optical components.
The physics of hyperlenses is quite complex. The level of detail that optical microscopes can image is limited by the wavelength of light and the index of refraction of the lens material. When combined with the factors of lens aperture, distance from the object to the lens and the refractive index of the object under observation, this translates to a typical optical limit of about one half the wavelength used for imaging. At the infrared wavelengths used in this experiment, this "diffraction limit" is about 3,250 nanometers. This limit can be surpassed by using hBN due to its ability to support surface phonon polaritons, hybrid particles made up of photons of light coupling with vibrating, charged atoms in a crystal that have wavelengths much shorter than the incident light.
In the past, the problem with using polaritons in this fashion has been the rapidity with which they dissipate. By using hBN crystals made from 99 percent isotopically pure boron, the researchers have measured a dramatic reduction in optical losses compared to natural crystals, increasing the polariton's lifetime three-fold, which allows them to travel triple the distance. This improvement translates into a significant improvement in imaging resolution. The researchers' theoretical analysis suggests that another factor of ten improvement is possible.
"Currently, we have been testing very small flakes of purified hBN," said Caldwell. "We think that we will see even further improvements with larger crystals."
In 1654 Anton van Leeuwenhoek used one of the first handcrafted microscopes to discover the previously unknown world of microscopic life. This latest advance in hyperlens development is a significant step toward taking van Leeuwenhoek's discovery to a whole new level, one which will allow biologists to directly observe cellular processes in action, like viruses invading cells or immune cells attacking foreign invaders.
This could really benefit the scientists looking for cures and new antibiotics.

The dominant global perception that sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing an 'AIDS orphan crisis', coupled with growing trends in international voluntourism, has fostered a potentially high-risk situation for already vulnerable young children in the region. This article reviews the current discourse on what is being called a crisis of care for children, as well as literature on out-of-home/family care and its adverse impacts on child development. We also describe an emerging 'AIDS orphan tourism', and show how short-term attachments formed between children in group residential care and volunteers may worsen known impacts of institutional care. This article advocates against the exploitation of especially vulnerable young children in sub-Saharan Africa for commercial gain by tour operators in the current growth of 'AIDS orphan tourism'. We instead propose that young people who wish to volunteer their time and talents to assist children less fortunate than themselves be properly informed about children's development and attachments to others, as well of the vulnerabilities and rights of young children, especially those outside of family care.

It is actually awesome whenever the information of our pages just fluently arranges over the whole width offered and conveniently switches scale plus order when the width of the screen changes yet in certain cases we need granting the components some field around to breath without any excess features around them since the balance is the key of purchasing light and responsive visual appeal quickly relaying our web content to the ones visiting the webpage. This free territory together with the responsive activity of our pages is definitely an important feature of the style of our webpages .
In the new edition of the most famous mobile phone friendly framework-- Bootstrap 4 there is actually a specific group of tools assigned to situating our elements specifically the places we need to have them and changing this positioning and visual appeal according to the width of the display screen webpage gets presented.
These are the so called Bootstrap Offset Usage and push / pull classes. They perform really quick and easy and in instinctive way being mixed with the grid tier infixes like -sm-, -md- and so on.
The general syntax of these is really simple-- you have the action you need to be brought-- like .offset for instance, the smallest grid scale you require it to employ from and above-- just like -md and a value for the wanted action in number of columns-- like -3 for example.
This whole entire stuff produced results .offset-md-3 which in turn will offset the desired column element along with 3 columns to the right directly from its default position on standard display sizes and above. .offset classes regularly transfers its own web content to the right.
Move columns to the right utilizing .offset-md-* classes. Such classes raise the left margin of a column by * columns. As an example,.offset-md-4 shift .col-md-4 over four columns.
Important thing to consider right here is up directly from Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 the -xs infix has been simply dismissed so for the smallest display sizes-- under 34em or else 554 px the grid size infix is taken out-- the offsetting instruments classes get followed with wanted number of columns. So the instance directly from just above will become something similar to .offset-3 and will operate on all display screen sizes unless a rule for a larger viewport is determined-- you can do that by just designating the appropriate .offset- ~ some viewport size here ~ - ~ some number of columns ~ classes to the identical element.
This solution does work in situation when you want to style a single element. Assuming that you however for some sort of case really want to cut out en element according to the ones surrounding it you can surely work with the .push - and also .pull classes that basically carry out the very same thing yet packing the free space left with the following component possibly. So for example if you feature two column items-- the first one 4 columns wide and the second one-- 8 columns large (they both equally stuff the whole row) applying .push-sm-8 to the 1st component and .pull-md-4 to the 2nd will really turn around the order in what they get featured on small viewports and above. Omitting the –xs- infix for the smallest screen dimensions counts here as well.
And finally-- since Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 exposes the flexbox utilities for setting content you can additionally use these for reordering your content utilizing classes like .flex-first and .flex-last to insert an element in the beginning or else at the finish of its row.
So generally that is actually the approach the most fundamental features of the Bootstrap 4's grid system-- the columns get appointed the intended Bootstrap Offset Class and ordered precisely in the manner that you require them regardless the way they arrive in code. However the reordering utilities are very strong, what have to be showcased first off have to also be specified first-- this will definitely also make it a lot simpler for the guys checking out your code to get around. Nevertheless obviously it all relies on the certain scenario and the goals you're wanting to reach.

NServiceBus offers four levels of consistency guarantees with regards to message processing, depending on the selected transport. The default consistency level is TransactionScope (Distributed Transaction), but a different level can be specified using code configuration API.
See the Transports Transactions article to learn more about NServiceBus consistency guarantees.
The default TransactionScope timeout limit is 1 minute. This limit can be adjusted up to the machine-wide maximum timeout value. The machine-wide maximum is 10 minutes by default, but it can be adjusted if needed.
In Windows, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) is an OS-level service which manages transactions that span multiple resources, e.g. queues and databases.
The easiest way to configure DTC for NServiceBus is to run the PlatformInstaller for NServiceBus, or to use the dedicated PowerShell commandlets.
For more information, refer to the Troubleshooting MSDTC issues with the DTCPing tool article on MSDN.
If the DTCPing WARNING: The CID Values for Both Test Machines Are the Same message appears when running the DTCPing tool, check to see if the machine name is longer than 14 characters. For DTCPing and MSDTC to work, the machine name should be 14 characters or shorter.
The queue is peeked to see if there is a message.
If there's a message then a transaction is started.
The queue is contacted again to receive a message, multiple threads may have peeked the same message. The queue makes sure only one thread actually gets a given message.
If the thread is able to get it, NServiceBus tries to deserialize the message. If it fails, the message moves to the configured error queue and the transaction commits.
After a successful deserialization, NServiceBus invokes all infrastructure, message mutators, and handlers. An exception in this step causes the transaction to roll back and the message to return to the input queue. The message will be re-sent for a configured number of times; if all attempts fail then it will be moved to the error queue.
Refer to the Message Handling Pipeline article to learn more about message processing.
Refer to the Recoverability and the ServicePulse: Failed Message Monitoring articles to learn more about error handling, automatic and manual retries, as well as processing failures monitoring.
