Q: convert IO String to [Char] I'm new to Haskell. I try to make some exercice and one of this is to ask a number n, then get n and concatenate them. the prototype of the function is given by the exercise:
concatLines :: Int -> IO String

I tryied this/
concatLines n   | n == 1 = getLine >>= \x -> return x
                | otherwise = getLine >>= \x -> return $ (x ++ concatLines (n - 1))

But i got the following error:
DoOp.hs:63:64:
    Couldn't match expected type \`[Char]\` with actual type \`IO String\`
    In the return type of a call of \`concatLines\`
    In the second argument of \`(++)\`, namely \`concatLines (n - 1)\`
    In the second argument of \`($)\`, namely
      (x ++ concatLines (n - 1))\`

I search for convert IO String to [Char] but without succes.

Fund raising events continued to be held to raise the money necessary to build the new church, one of the most memorable was yet another Garden Fete held in the grounds of Upton Hall, this time on Whit Monday 1953.
Father Stone and his helpers one again worked so strenuously to make the effort a record success, with memories of the rain in 1945 always in their minds, it was a relief when the Whitsun weekend brought a heat wave and wonderful sunshine - hopes were high.
All preparations were complete by Midday on Whit Monday. Pupils from the convent had undertaken to run various competitions on the tennis courts and they too were ready. Other pupils in their Coronation fancy dresses were to sell tickets. Everything was ready.
The morning weather had been glorious. Suddenly the sky darkened - passing clouds they thought. The fete was scheduled to open at 2 p.m., at 1.30 clouds looked disturbing; 1.40 the sky looked ominous, people began to arrive; 1.45 the darkness was alarming and then the storm broke, and what a storm: torrential rain incessantly for over two hours, thunder and lightning, the only severe thunder and lightning of the year. The refreshment marquee was flooded, the stalls were swamped and the would-be money spenders remained on the bus and went home.

Q: Trying to get the guest VM to use multiple cores with Linux guest running on a Windows XP host I have just installed a 64-bit Ubuntu guest on a quad-core 64-bit Windows XP host in VirtualBox, and I am trying to get the guest to use multiple cores.
However, when I go to "Settings -> System -> Processor," the Processor(s) slider bar is greyed out, and when I hover over it the following message appears:

You need hardware virtualization support on your host system to use more than one virtual CPU.

How do I go about geting this hardware virtualization support?
EDIT: I should mention, my processor is a Core i5 750.

A: Hardware virtualisation is a processor function, and sometimes can be turned on in the BIOS. Unfortunately, until recently support for VT-x (the 'basic' hardware virtualisation function) was spotty on Intel processors (though AMD ones were fine).
Look up your processor on Intel's website, AMD's website or Wikipedia to see if it supports it. If so, check if you can turn it on in the BIOS settings.

A: This is something that started to be added to CPUs around 2006. I believe that not every processor supports it but many do.
Basically, you'll need to boot into your BIOS and see if you can turn on virtualization. There is also a Microsoft tool — Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool — that is supposed to help you determine if your CPU supports it.

Cannabis -vs- Osteoporosis
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18426503: In mammals, including humans, bone metabolism is manifested as an ongoing modelling/remodelling process whereby the bone mineralised matrix is being continuously renewed. Recently, the main components of the endocannabinoid system have been reported in the skeleton. Osteoblasts, the bone forming cells, and other cells of the osteoblastic lineage, as well as osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells, and their precursors, synthesise the endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). CB(1) cannabinoid receptors are present in sympathetic nerve terminals in close proximity to osteoblasts. Activation of these CB(1) receptors by elevated bone 2-AG levels communicates brain-to-bone signals as exemplified by traumatic brain injury-induced stimulation of bone formation. In this process, the retrograde CB(1) signalling inhibits noradrenaline release and alleviates the tonic sympathetic restrain of bone formation. CB(2) receptors are expressed by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Their activation stimulates bone formation and suppresses bone resorption. CB(2)-deficient mice display a markedly accelerated age-related bone loss. Ovariectomy-induced bone loss can be both prevented and rescued by a CB(2) specific agonist. Hence, synthetic CB(2) ligands, which are stable and orally available, provide a basis for developing novel anti-osteoporotic therapies, free of psychotropic effects. The CNR2 gene (encoding CB(2)) in women is associated with low bone mineral density, offering an assay for identifying females at risk of developing osteoporosis.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17646266: Since the discovery of the endocannabinoid system, its presence and involvement have been reported in a handful of biological systems. Recently, the skeleton has been identified as a major endocannabinoid target through both the neuronal CB1 and predominantly peripheral CB2 cannabinoid receptors. CB1 is present in sympathetic nerve terminals in bone, whereas CB2 is expressed in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the respective bone-forming and -resorbing cells. Furthermore, the skeleton appears as the main system physiologically regulated by CB2. CB2-deficient mice show a markedly accelerated age-related bone loss and the CB2 locus in women is associated with low bone density and osteoporotic fractures. Since activation of CB2 attenuates experimentally induced bone loss by inhibiting bone resorption and stimulating bone formation, and because synthetic cannabinoids are stable and orally available, a therapy based on synthetic CB2 agonists is a promising novel target for antiosteoporotic drug development.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18071301: A functional endocannabinoid system is present in several mammalian organs and tissues. Recently, endocannabinoids and their receptors have been reported in the skeleton. Osteoblasts, the bone forming cells, and osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells, produce the endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol and express CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Although CB2 has been implicated in pathological processes in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, the skeleton appears as the main system physiologically regulated by CB2. CB2-deficient mice show a markedly accelerated age-related bone loss and the CNR2 gene (encoding CB2) in women is associated with low bone mineral density. The activation of CB2 attenuates ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice by restraining bone resorption and enhancing bone formation. Hence synthetic CB2 ligands, which are stable and orally available, provide a basis for developing novel anti-osteoporotic therapies. Activation of CB1 in sympathetic nerve terminals in bone inhibits norepinephrine release, thus balancing the tonic sympathetic restrain of bone formation. Low levels of CB1 were also reported in osteoclasts. CB1-null mice display a skeletal phenotype that is dependent on the mouse strain, gender and specific mutation of the CB1 encoding gene, CNR1.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19634029: The active component of marijuana, Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol, activates the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors, thus mimicking the action of endogenous cannabinoids. CB1 is predominantly neuronal and mediates the cannabinoid psychotropic effects. CB2 is predominantly expressed in peripheral tissues, mainly in pathological conditions. So far the main endocannabinoids, anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, have been found in bone at 'brain' levels. The CB1 receptor is present mainly in skeletal sympathetic nerve terminals, thus regulating the adrenergic tonic restrain of bone formation. CB2 is expressed in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, stimulates bone formation, and inhibits bone resorption. Because low bone mass is the only spontaneous phenotype so far reported in CB2 mutant mice, it appears that the main physiologic involvement of CB2 is associated with maintaining bone remodeling at balance, thus protecting the skeleton against age-related bone loss. Indeed, in humans, polymorphisms in CNR2, the gene encoding CB2, are strongly associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Preclinical studies have shown that a synthetic CB2-specific agonist rescues ovariectomy-induced bone loss. Taken together, the reports on cannabinoid receptors in mice and humans pave the way for the development of 1) diagnostic measures to identify osteoporosis-susceptible polymorphisms in CNR2, and 2) cannabinoid drugs to combat osteoporosis.

Guest July 17, 2020 - Kate Carter, Life Chronicles
Topics: Living a life that matters, the myriad benefits of self-reflection
In this edition of Solutions News, we investigate what it means to live an examined life, and how by reflecting on the end of our days, we might choose to live a life imbued with meaning, prioritizing relationships and our deeper values. Our guest is filmmaker Kate Carter, founder of Life Chronicles, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families cope with impending loss by recording life stories. How can we, each of us, proactively choose our own individual path that we are here to tread on this planet at this time. Life Chronicles helps us retain the wisdom, the personal interactions, the emotions, and the personal connections on film for the next generation to experience, and so much more. We all have words of wisdom and words of care to leave behind. Tune in to hear about the therapeutic value such interactions can bring, and how self-reflection can bring out wisdom we never knew we have to share. (Produced by Kristy Jansen)
Kate Carter
Kate Carter is the Founder of LifeChronicles. The story of LifeChronicles is a story of a deeply personal experience that became a mission to serve people everywhere. In 1998, Kate Carter was reeling from the news that a dear friend with breast cancer had been informed that her disease was advancing rapidly. ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) had taken her husband only 15 months before, leaving Kate's friend to raise their three children alone. While friends and family pulled together to provide for the future care of the children, Kate collaborated with her friend to produce a video that would keep her love alive for them for years to come.
It was this experience that inspired Kate to create a service – really a gift – possible for many people, everywhere. After 18 years, LifeChronicles has helped more than 1,400 clients preserve memories and expressions of love on video.
As if part of a great plan, almost everything in Kate Carter's life has prepared her for her work today. From an internship in video production, embarked upon solely from a fascination with the field, to her own critical illness 30 years ago when her children were very young, her experiences and training have made her comfortable with and capable for the work she pursues each day. Even her past experience in the corporate world was invaluable when she needed to mold an innovative idea, originally intended to help a dying friend, into a functioning, thriving organization intended to help any person, anywhere, in the same situation for the last 22 years.
Kate owned her own word processing and medical transcription business for 13 years before LifeChronicles and was the executive administrative assistant to the president of a corporation for five years. She has received a number of awards including: The NFL Community Quarterback Award, The Women's Day Award, ABC Radio Powerful Difference Award, The Garden State Film Festival Broader Vision Award, The American Assoc. of Women in Communications Founders Award, UCSB Outstanding Agency Award, KLITE Community Hero Award and the 2019 Santa Barbara 1st District Commission for Women Service Award, to name a few.

Coventry City have agreed a deal to sign Aston Villa midfielder Joe Cole on a 35-day emergency loan deal.
The Sky Blues will sign the former England international on Monday on a loan deal until November 22nd and Cole will be at the Ricoh Arena tomorrow to watch the Sky Blues take on Blackpool.
The 33-year old started his career at West Ham before moving to Chelsea in 2003 where he went on to make 183 league appearances for the Blues, scoring 28 goals.
After seven years at Stamford Bridge, moves to Liverpool and a loan spell to French Ligue 1 side Lille followed before rejoining boyhood club West Ham in 2013.
He made 31 appearances in a one-year spell at Upton Park, scoring five goals before he moved to Aston Villa in June 2014. Cole has also enjoyed a fantastic international career with 56 caps for England, scoring 10 goals for the Three Lions.
City manager Tony Mowbray said: "I'm delighted to welcome such a high-calibre player to the club.
"Joe has a great pedigree, both on the domestic and international stage, and I'm sure he'll have a fantastic impact during his time at the club.
"I've met with Joe and he has watched us play several times this season. He likes the way we play the game and because of that, he has shown a real enthusium to come and play for the club.
"He's a player who will give us another option in the forward areas and I'm sure the squad are looking forward to working with him.
"We've got plenty of games coming up which will be crucial to us maintaining our early-season form and I'm looking forward to seeing Joe in action for the Sky Blues."

Q: Add row and sum row based on two column values The image shows what I am trying to achieve

The following are the conditions that I am trying to achieve

*

*Sort Column F and H, then add a row when there is a value change in both rows. The condition must add a row when the values change

*

*Sell - D

*Sell - S

*Buy - D

*Buy - S

*After creating the blank row the Column I must sum the values by looping and the summed value must populate in the newly inserted row

*Copy the summed value to another worksheet into a particular cell, the code must work with any number of data.

The code I have for creating blank row works when the column is F and G but not working if there is a column in between:
Sub InsertRowsAtValueChange()

Dim Rng As Range
Dim WorkRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = WorkRng.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
    If WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Value <> WorkRng.Cells(i - 1, 1),.Value
    Or WorkRng.Cells(i, 2).Value <> WorkRng.Cells(i - 1, 2).Value Then

        WorkRng.Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Insert
    End If

For summing
Range("I19:I22").Select
Range("I22").Activate
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R[4]C:R[-1]C)"

But this works for the 4 rows if the data changes the sum function fails.

Time magazine has called her "Africa's premier diva".
The BBC included Kidjo in its list of the African continent's 50 most iconic figures.
The Daily Telegraph in London described her as "The undisputed queen of African music".
In March 2013, NPR called her "Africa's greatest living diva".
Angélique and her husband approached Icon Digital in 2014 and asked us to create a website promoting her new autobiography Spirit Rising, the new album Eve, and a world tour.
We met with Angélique at her home in Brooklyn and shared our mutual love for 1960s and 1970s music from Benin, Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, and the Ivory Coast. We played our favorite songs in the kitchen, where she translated some of the regional mysteries in the music that had bewildered us for years.
We studied Angélique's autobiography and listened deeply to her music.
We incorporated into our design diverse visual elements from her professional and personal life, like the textile designs of Western and Central Africa which connected generations of her family's cultural heritage.
We created a custom parallax, multimedia-rich, unified interface that efficiently marketed three distinct events and connected her fans on Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, Youtube, & Vimeo via software APIs.
Icon Digital is honored to have worked with Angélique Kidjo, a vibrant and amazing musician and human rights activist.

Q: Pyinstaller hidden import not found for unused library I tried to use pyinstaller to compile a .py I wrote. I used a bunch of libraries including sklearn, nltk, gensim but did not use tensorflow at all. However, when I compiled the program, there were many warnings about tensorflow modules not found, such as:
WARNING: Hidden import "tensorflow._api.v2.compat.v1.estimator" not found!
Is it because other libraries somehow used tensorflow in their functions? Is there a way to find what the usage is? Thanks!

A: Gensim uses tensorflow.
You can add --hidden-import="tensorflow._api.v2.compat.v1.estimator" with your pyinstaller command and it will resolve this error.

Material Parameters Dependency of Stress-Strain Curve Based on the Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Method Incorporating Non-Crystalline Shear Band Mechanism
Wanjia Li, Shigeru Hamada
The crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) has emerged as an important method for studying materials on a mesoscopic scale. However, a significant obstacle to the application of CPFEM is the numerous material parameters associated with it. This study selected a physics-based CPFEM incorporating the non-crystalline shear band formation mechanism as it can stimulate both work-hardening and strain-softening mechanisms. A three-dimensional smooth specimen model was established to simulate the tensile test. The effects of six fitting crystal plasticity material parameters on the yielding stress, work-hardening behavior, and strain localization behavior are. In addition, the influencing mechanisms are discussed.

ALAS! You have found the love of your life, soul mate, the person with whom you want to spend the end of your days. You are mature, experienced in life, worldly. Maybe you are divorced or widowed or just never married. Maybe you have children or nieces or nephews or other loved ones that you care for. Now what? Before you dive head first into comingling your lives and even marriage, stop for a moment. Consider how love found later in life affects you and your goals.
Remember that love and relationships have stages. After the hearts and flowers stage, there is the day-to-day stage when you wished each other would pick up dirty socks or put away the hairdryer. These annoyances are minor compared to how a couple brings together finances, home ownership, shared expenses, debt and planning for incapacity and death. Remember, you are mature. These conversations should be a piece of cake, but they are not. Both of you of must commit to discovering your own goals and those of your newfound love.

The Tigers are headed to the AAC championship game after clinching the west division title with Saturday's victory.
Here are five observations and takeaways from the Memphis football team's 66-45 win over SMU at the Liberty Bowl.
As the clock approached all zeroes, and Memphis closed out the highest-scoring game in school history, the public address announcer offered the first official confirmation. There will be a trophy presentation, he said, and soon an entire team circled around midfield and raised it high in the air.
The Tigers are headed to the American Athletic Conference championship game for the first time after beating SMU and clinching the West Division title. Their opponent is to be determined.
It will be decided when Central Florida (10-0) hosts South Florida (9-1) on Friday. If UCF wins, the championship game will be held in Orlando on Dec. 2. If USF prevails and Memphis beats East Carolina in its regular-season finale on Saturday, there's a good chance the championship game will be played in Memphis.
The Tigers' matchup with East Carolina also holds considerable meaning because the top-ranked Group of Five conference champion qualifies for a New Year's Six bowl game.
If Memphis wins out, it would almost certainly accomplish just that given its current position in the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings.
If you weren't convinced this Memphis team won't be fazed by anything, Saturday's game should be the tipping point for any of the doubters.
Fall behind 10-0? Didn't matter.
The Memphis offense proceeded to reel off 24 straight points in 9:40 to grab a lead it would never relinquish.
Get called for 132 yards in penalties, including 55 yards worth of infractions on SMU's opening drive of the second half? Didn't matter.
Though coach Mike Norvell and the Liberty Bowl crowd of 35,329 fumed after linebacker Bryce Huff got called for unnecessary roughness on a third-down sack (and Norvell got his own unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for stepping onto the field as he argued with the ref), the Tigers responded with another touchdown drive. In fact, they found the end zone following four consecutive SMU touchdowns when the game hung in the balance.
Play without wide receivers Phil Mayhue and John "Pop" Williams? Didn't matter.
Redshirt freshman Damonte Coxie (5 catches, 62 yards) stepped in and showed glimpses of what's to come.
Endure a 57-minute lightning delay in the fourth quarter and wind gusts of up to 37 mph? Didn't matter.
Memphis promptly stopped SMU on third-and-11, and then running back Darrell Henderson raced 52 yards to the end zone on the Tigers' first offensive snap after the delay.
"No adversity was going to distract this football team," Norvell said.
Quarterback Riley Ferguson and wide receiver Anthony Miller grab all the headlines, and deservedly so. But the Tigers' ability to move the ball on the ground can be just as dangerous, and it's a big reason why Memphis is averaging nearly 51 points during its six-game win streak.
Memphis finished with 664 total yards, and they all seemed necessary in a shootout like this one. But for the first time since the Tigers' season-opening win over Louisiana-Monroe, which occurred in the midst of a tropical depression, Patrick Taylor, Jr. and Henderson both had more than 100 rushing yards apiece and the team had more rushing yards (333) than passing (331).
Henderson (147 yards) once again showed off his elite speed by ripping off touchdown runs of 70 and 52 yards and averaging 14.7 yards per carry. He surpassed the 100-yard mark for the third straight game and now has seven rushes of at least 50 yards this season.
Taylor continued to be the thunder to Henderson's lightning and picked up 112 yards on the ground. He scored twice before halftime, consistently breaking tackles to keep SMU on its heels.
Norvell said Henderson and Taylor were challenged during the team's Friday night meetings to make defenders miss if they broke through to the second level of the defense. But Henderson and Norvell also gave ample credit to the gaping holes created by the offensive line.
"I know there was two or three 50-plus yard runs we were able to break," Norvell said, "but they were also getting clean to that second level."
Ferguson also got in on the fun in the second half and proved he can keep defenses honest with his feet. The pass-first quarterback had a career-best three touchdown runs, including a 12-yard scamper in which he executed a stunning spin move.
Memphis had seven rushing touchdowns, which tied a school record.
After several weeks of progression, the Memphis defense took some lumps against one of the nation's top 10 scoring offenses. SMU closed the afternoon with 477 total yards, and scored touchdowns on four straight possessions over the second and third quarters.
Though a few of the Mustangs' drives were aided by penalties, some more questionable than others, the Tigers also missed a lot of tackles against the run. SMU's Xavier Jones finished with 175 rushing yards, the most any opposing player has gained against the Memphis defense this year.
On the other hand, SMU's vaunted passing attack was mostly held in check. Ballyhooed wide receivers Trey Quinn and Courtland Sutton each had touchdown receptions, but also combined for only five catches.
Quarterback Ben Hicks completed only 15 of his 34 passes for 218 yards, which was 92 yards below the Mustangs' season average.
"Playing against these big-time receivers, that's something we pray for because everyone is looking," said safety Josh Perry, who finished with a career-best nine tackles.
Miller continued his assault on the Memphis record books.
The senior entered Saturday's game just four catches shy of the school's all-time receptions record and set the new mark before the first quarter had even ended.
Miller now has 217 career catches after grabbing eight receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns. The Memphis native and former walk-on already owned the school's record for receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
It only seemed appropriate then that Miller walked off the Liberty Bowl field with the AAC West championship trophy.

September 16, 1943 – Anne Frank
September 16, 1943 - Anne Frank
Anne Frank's diary is the most famous account written by someone while in hiding from the Nazis. It is well-known mainly due to the quality of Anne's writing. Especially poignant were her reflections on her own personality and on her relationships with the others who were hiding along with her in the secret annex. Those relationships were often filled with tension. Anne frequently used humor to describe the arguments and petty squabbles which broke out in the hiding place, but the humor masked the seriousness of the situation. People in hiding from the Nazis were in constant danger of discovery. The stress caused by these circumstances couldn't help but come out in the way the hiders treated one another.
AVOIDING DETECTION
On September 16, 1943, Anne wrote, "Relationships here in the annex are getting worse all the time. We don't dare to open our mouths at mealtime (except to slip in a bite of food), because no matter what we say, someone is bound to resent it or take it the wrong way." By the time Anne recorded this statement, the people in the annex had been in hiding for over 15 months. They had little opportunity to move freely and almost none to vent their emotions. Anne mentioned on this day that she was taking valerian (an herbal remedy) to help with her anxiety, but observed that a good hearty laugh would probably have helped her even more.
The stress of hiding came from more than just relationship problems. The physical dangers were real as well. Anne wrote, "Another fact that doesn't exactly brighten up our days is that Mr. van Maaren, the man who works in the warehouse, is getting suspicious about the Annex. […] We wouldn't care what Mr. van Maaren thought of the situation except that he's known to be unreliable and to possess a high degree of curiosity. He's not one to be put off with a flimsy excuse." Anne's statement about Mr. van Maaren revealed one of the most dangerous aspects of a hiding situation.
People hiding from the Nazis needed outside help. Outside helpers, though, had to be very careful not to attract attention while they were visiting the hiding place with supplies or information. Anyone who suspected that Jews were hiding nearby would be on the lookout for suspicious activity. Anne described a situation in her diary entry which she and the others considered to be a "close call" with Mr. van Maaren. They were lucky to avoid detection that day, but how long could their good luck last? With this type of pressure hanging over the hiders every day, it is not surprising that they often exhibited the signs of high stress.
Read more of Anne's writing, which has been published under the title, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. This book is a multi-million copy best-seller and has gone through numerous printings. It has also been set for performance on stage and screen.

"Respect, honor, peace... Three words to guide the Korrts. They do not need more. Don't believe they are stupid monsters or warlike fighters because of their height or strength.

They could break your spine with a flick but their arms are more used to hugs..."
Just one word: they are not lizardmen. Despite their appearance, they are mammal.

The role of agricultural extension in the development of agriculture throughout the world is very significant. It has remained one of the prime movers in the development of agriculture and invariably in the rural development. This paper reviewed some literature in organizational climate and its impact on the performance of agricultural extension workers in Iraq. The paper introduces some basic concepts underlying the meaning of agricultural extension, organizational climate and performance. The motivations and attentions are given to organizational climate to show through the relationship between the organizational climate and the other organizational changes, especially in the area of interaction between the individual and the regulatory environment which is determined by two basic axes. First axis is the individual's characteristics associated to a large extent to his knowledge system and his educational and cultural experiences. The second axis represents the internal work environment which describes the distinctive features of the organization. This paper distinguishes some characteristics which are organizational structure, communication system, and the nature of the work, leadership style, decision-making styles, colleagues of work, and the nature and physical of working environment.
Keywords: Organizational climate, Leadership styles, Job satisfaction, performance, Organization, Agricultural Extension Workers.

The last year in Azerbaijan: the highs and lows
Article by Arzu Geybulla
2019 was a year not without its highs and lows in the land of fire – Azerbaijan. From a snap decision to dismiss the national parliament, to the release of prominent political prisoners, to the replacing of some high ranking government officials, as well as more arrests and detentions. This year, Azerbaijan made the news for its lack of capacity while hosting the Europa League final and the farce with the loose manhole cover that damaged George Russell's Williams during the Grand Prix practice in Baku.[1] Not to mention the vehicle carrying the damaged Williams striking a bridge on the way to the pit making it all look even more comical. The corrupt nature of its ruling government and its affiliates haunted officials in Baku in 2019 as well. One key example of this is when the news of the country's former international bank head Jahangir Hajiyev's wife was spotted at London's high end department store Harrods, having spent 16 million pounds.[2] Not all at once of course, but over the last ten years. Meanwhile, her husband, was sentenced to 15 years in jail in October on charges of fraud and money laundering to name a few.
To break it all down, here is a closer look at some of these and other developments that shook Azerbaijan's civil society, government and the country's image abroad.
#FreeMehman
2019 began with the #FreeMehman campaign that targeted authorities in Azerbaijan to immediately drop new charges that citizen journalist and activist Mehman Huseynov was facing, just when his previous two year prison term was going to finish. Despite the absence of evidence in court, and an international outcry on the illegality of the sentence, Huseynov was jailed in 2017 on charges of slander and sentenced to two years in prison.
In December 2018, new charges were brought against Huseynov accusing him of allegedly "resisting a representative of the authorities with the use of violence dangerous to his health and life".[3] If found guilty, Huseynov was facing an additional seven year prison term. While Huseynov declared he was going on a hunger strike, many prominent civil society activists joined him in solidarity. An unsanctioned rally was organised in support of Huseynov on January 19th, demanding his release. Several human rights watchdog groups, as well as the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, called on the authorities to drop the new charges while the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for Huseynov's release. As a result of mounting pressure, the charges were dropped and Huseynov was released in March 2019 after having served his full two year sentence.
So much for emancipation
It was not the way Azerbaijani feminist activists would have wanted to celebrate the country's first ever women's march.[4] Instead of celebrating the achievements of Azerbaijani women, police chose to celebrate the day with slaps and kicks. But not from the police per se. A collection of older women, many who were later identified as fruit and flower sellers, charged into the crowd of protestors to shout at and harass them. There were slaps and shoves for both the marchers and the journalists covering the event. Police were there, to idly watch and observe.
Meanwhile on an international diplomacy stage, negotiations over disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh were back on the agenda. Except that President Ilham Aliyev refused to accept the proposal to include Nagorno-Karabakh officials at the negotiation table ahead of the summit in Vienna.[5][6]
He did, however, agree to release over 50 political prisoners during the annual presidential pardons over the Novruz celebrations in March. The good news was quickly followed with some bad news – the editor of the 'criminal.az' website, Anar Mammadov was handed a suspended sentence of five and half years with a two year probation period.[7] Mammadov was found guilty of making public calls against the state, abuse of professional duties and forgery, all of which Mammadov and his lawyer refuted in court to no avail.
Then a massive fire at one of the shopping malls in Baku burned the place to the ground. It was one of eight large fires in 2019 that damaged businesses in the capital.[8] These fires raised one of the most pressing issues in Azerbaijan – the presence of a shadow economy and its consequences, not only on economic transparency but the ability to engage in any kind of healthy business in the country. Many business owners who suffered great costs during the fires complained of the absence of property insurance. This, however, is directly linked to the commercial agreements made between the property owners and business owners. In Azerbaijan, often, these agreements are not made. Partly due to the fact that often shops or businesses are owned by government employees. There is also a 14 per cent tax imposed on business owners which according to independent economists is too high given economic conditions in Azerbaijan.[9]
In April, Bayram Mammadov, one of the graffiti prisoners released during the March pardons, was rearrested and sentenced to 30 days in administrative detention on charges of resisting the police.[10] During his hearing, Mammadov said the charges were baseless and that he was innocent and that he had been subject to police violence after his arrest with officers on duty severely beating him. Two of the men who beat Mammadov sat in the courtroom during the hearing and although Mammadov pointed them out, the two men were let go while the judge ruled to keep the decision of the administrative sentence.
Nothing surprising there – in a country that lacks independent judiciary, the chances of accessing a fair trial are virtually non-existent. But the chances of getting a fair trial if you are George Russell who was racing in Baku during the Grand Prix increase substantially. While Mammadov was beaten, rearrested on false charges and sent away to detention, Baku was getting ready to host yet another round of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. But sloppy preparations led to a rather embarrassing accident for the organisers. As set out above, ahead of the weekend's race George Russell's Williams struck a manhole cover during the practice sessions. The incident made the news, and even briefly turned into a meme. Immediately after the accident, Arif Rahimov, the promoter of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the executive director of Baku City Circuit said the damage caused will be covered as per an insurance agreement.[11] While the costs were not mentioned, it is worth mentioning that Rahimov, who happens to be the son of Azerbaijani Youth and Sports Minister Azad Rahimov, was in charge of picking the suitable bidder in the tender to become the official organiser of the race.[12] But it just happened that Rahimov junior's company received the right to host the competition without any tender which is a violation of Azerbaijani laws. For the likes of Mammadov, one lives below the law, but for the likes of Rahimov, one lives above the law and very little can get in their way, including an accident.
Another major sporting event hiccup took place just a month later when Baku opened its doors – for the first time in its history – to the Europa League final, hosting Arsenal and Chelsea football clubs. If only this one was as easy to pull off as the European Games, or the Islamic Solidarity Games or even the Grand Prix. There was much criticism of Baku as a host city, even before the game. From expensive airfares, to a lack of hospitality infrastructure, to the capacity issues with Baku's International terminal and last but not least, the safety concerns for Arsenal player, Armenian national Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
At least these were the issues that made the international headlines. There was little mention of the issues Azerbaijani citizens had to face during the games. In addition to main road closures, transportation routes were amended to accommodate football fans traveling from Georgia to Baku.[13]
Perhaps Azerbaijan is just one of the many countries in the world, where celebrating one's heritage and commemorating Independence Day are less important than a football match.
A wave of protests
In October, two important rallies put a spotlight on Azerbaijan.[14] On October 19th, the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF), an umbrella group of Azerbaijani opposition groups, organised an unsanctioned rally that was violently dispersed by local police. Demonstrators called for the release of all remaining political prisoners, guarantees for free and fair elections, and an end to economic injustice.[15] Among the many who were rounded up and arrested was Ali Karimli, leader of an opposition party – Popular Front. Karimli was severely beaten and then let go. Police refuted claims Karimli was beaten during detention in a statement, concluding Karimli injured himself while taking a fall. A statement released by the prosecutor office claimed Karimli sustained the injuries during a scuffle with police officers as he resisted arrest and managed to beat two police officers in the meantime.
But arrests began already days ahead of the scheduled rally. Former political prisoner and journalist Seymur Hezi was one of many arrested ahead of the rally. In the run-up to the demonstration, Azerbaijani investigative reporter Khadija Ismayilova said police also blocked three subway stations in an apparent attempt to thwart protesters from reaching the main rally site.[16] Meanwhile, activists reported disruptions in internet access across central Baku.
The following day, a group of women activists took to the streets calling to end all forms of violence against women.[17] The march was sparked by yet another victim of domestic violence, Leyle Mammadova who was stabbed by her husband in public.
Phantom reforms
After 16 years in power, surrounded by more or less the same old guard as his father, President Ilham Aliyev decided to shuffle things around. Shuffle is the key word here, because all the changes that have taken place among government officials over the recent months indicate no real reform but rather an illusion of it.
In October, Aliyev replaced the second most powerful man in the country, the chief of staff Ramiz Mehdiyev. Then the Prime Minister Novruz Mammadov was replaced by a slightly younger technocrat Ali Asadov. Meanwhile, a man of all traits, Mikayil Jabbarov took on his third ministerial posting, this time as the Minister of Economy after having served as Minister of Education and later as Minister in charge of taxes. Jokes about Jabbarov collecting different ministerial titles were abundant among Azerbaijani activists. Aliyev also reshuffled his Cabinet of Ministers and the Presidential Apparatus.
In December, the Azerbaijani National Parliament was dissolved following the ruling party initiative and early elections are scheduled for February 9th 2020.
Some have praised these changes, but in absence of real legal, judicial, and social reforms, none of these new appointments give hope.[18] Among them, is Rauf Mirkadirov, a veteran Azerbaijani journalist who said, "Reforms are a new ideology, a new management system, and not new people. With a good system, even a bad manager cannot ruin everything […]. Without fundamental reforms affecting all spheres, we cannot create a good system of government."[19]
The recent municipal election held on December 23rd, attest to just how far the ruling elite of Baku – even with newly appointed officials and the talk about reforms – are willing to go to protect their position. Reports of ballot stuffing, multiple voting by a single individual at different polling stations, and intimidation of journalists were abundant.[20] However the election of a few young faces, such as former journalist Vafa Nagi and civil society activist Rufat Aliyev gives some hope. Theirs was a real fight, something that the government in power has not done in decades and most likely forgotten what it means.

I have to force the container down to stop it. Does anyone know how I can let the container know that I am okay with changes being made so that the process can continue?


"I bless him just as [I bless] those who work with him at the hospital in Milan, for everything they are doing.
Have them continue, and pray.
I bless the sick of this hospital, just as the sick for whom you have prayed this evening, and those for whom you will pray."

As part of an effort to enhance the graduate student and postdoctoral experience at The Scripps Research Institute, the Counseling and Postdoctoral Services Department has launched an alumni database.
About 200 Ph.D.s have graduated from the Scripps Research doctoral program, The Kellogg School of Science and Technology, since its inception in 1989. In addition, the institute has been training postdoctoral fellows for decades. These individuals have gone on to careers in both academics and industry in locations around the world.
The new alumni database, conceived as a career contact tool, is a free service run on an "opt-in" basis—individuals must register to be included. Those who want to use the service are required to register before they are permitted access. Both current and former students and postdocs have begun to sign up, and more are joining every day. Scripps Research staff members are also eligible. To visit the database, go to: http://alumni.scripps.edu.
The database was built with technical support from Research Computing's Pouya Bozorgmehr and an outside consultant. Wheeler notes that he looks forward to feedback from database users. "We welcome any suggestions," he says.
Other recent career initiatives for Scripps Research postdocs and graduate students have included an annual job fair in which industry representatives come to campus, a database of resumes to be viewed by potential employers, and a list of current job openings on the Postdoctoral Services web site.
In addition, a series of seminars has addressed topics such as grant writing, interviewing, and making effective presentations. The popular workshop, "Guidelines for a Successful Postdoctoral Experience," with Cell Biology chair Sandra Schmid, will be offered again on Wednesday, April 27 from 1 to 2:30 PM in the Beckman Building's Keck Amphitheater.
To stay current on the postdoctoral issues on the national scene, Wheeler and Jan Hill, director of Counseling and Postdoctoral Services, will attend a two-day conference in San Diego this month sponsored by the National Postdoctoral Association, an organization founded in 2003 to provide a national voice for postdoctoral scholars.
For more information on Scripps Research postdoctoral services or the alumni database see http://www.scripps.edu/services/postdocs/ or contact Wheeler, x4-9740.


Having to deal with increasing troubles on account of trespassing on the campus, Ravenshaw University has introduced entry and vehicle pass system.
University authorities have issued passes to the students while all entrants are being registered and noted at the gates. All the vehicles, including two-wheelers, used by the students and faculty to commute to the campus have been listed and passes issued with their numbers printed on them.
It has been made mandatory to stick the passes on their vehicles and the entry and exit are being noted by gatekeepers. While the students have been instructed to put on their identity cards on the campus, all visitors to the campus have to register at the gates with complete details like purpose of visit. Their vehicles are also being registered on entry. "We have introduced the system from October 6. The move is aimed at screening genuine students and preventing outsiders and unwanted elements from entering the campus, which has led to several unpleasant incidents in the past.
A database has been created on vehicles used by students and both identity cards and vehicle passes have been made compulsory for them," Registrar Smarapriya Mishra said.

AEP Foundation contributes $100,000 to Angelo State University
The AEP Foundation has contributed a $100,000 grant to Angelo State University to fund an endowment that will support the new Engineering Student Hub in the ASU Vincent Building. In recognition of the contribution, the facility has been renamed the AEP Foundation Engineering Student Hub.
As the center of student support and success services for ASU's David L. Hirschfeld Department of Engineering, the hub includes a variety of conference rooms for tutoring, individual and group study, and group meetings. It also employs advanced engineering students as mentors and leaders to conduct outreach to younger students, and the department's faculty members hold their open office hours in the hub.
"We're very grateful for the AEP Foundation's support of our Engineering Student Hub," said Dr. William Kitch, department chair. "The mentoring, advising and tutoring services that happen here provide the key support we need to keep our students on track toward graduation and their engineering careers. The AEP Foundation's generous endowment will ensure support for the student hub far into the future. This is a great partnership."
The AEP Foundation was created in 2005 by American Electric Power, the parent company of AEP Texas, to continue the tradition of corporate philanthropy of AEP and its regional utilities and to support and play an active, positive role in the communities where AEP employees live and work.
Judith E. Talavera, president and chief operating officer of AEP Texas, presented an enlarged version of the contribution check to ASU officials on behalf of the AEP Foundation during a special ceremony on Oct. 2 in the new hub facility.
"I'm especially proud to present this contribution on behalf of the AEP Foundation because it is an investment in all of our futures," Talavera said. "We are helping ensure that there will be qualified engineers available to join our ranks and help power our industry."
Talavera also noted that research has shown that student success in engineering significantly improves when dedicated support systems, such as tutoring, mentoring and supplemental instruction, are provided.
With this gift to Angelo State, AEP and AEP companies have donated over $1.5 million to the Texas Tech University System. AEP Texas has supported ASU as a member of the President's Circle donor group since 2006, as well as through sponsorship of the annual Ram Club Golf Tournament and other campus events, and by funding student scholarships through the AEP Texas Scholarship Endowment.

The After School Routine That Really Gets My Kiddos Sharing the Good Stuff!
I know every Momma says it, but I can't believe how BIG our little chicks are getting!
I told them that maybe this was the year that they'd get kissed by a cute boy in class.
Dang it I love these girls so much.
While I won't pretend that I'm super sad that they went off back to school (because I'm just not; we were ALL more than ready), I AM missing those smiley faces that kept me ridiculously busy all Summer.
The real thing I wanted to chat about today though, was our little after school routine we have goin' on so far this year.
I'm sure that every household has their own way of coping with the constant stream of information, homework and extra curricular activities that need to get done after school each day, but I wanted to share mine, because it's been working REALLY well and I've noticed a big change in my girls' attitudes from last year to this year - especially as I've gotten to know each of their personalities a lot better.
1. School is a whole lot of busy and mind overstimulation - Let them relax for a bit!
When my girls come home, I 100% do NOT expect them to get homework, reading or piano done the second they walk in the door.
For my chicks, they need about 30 minutes of quiet time. This could be resting, zoning out in front of the TV/iPad, or just cuddling with one of our pups for a bit. I know this can't happen EVERY day, because sometimes schedules don't allow for it, but MAN, I can't tell you how much HAPPIER my girls are the rest of the night if they are allowed this precious downtime.
2. Every kiddo is different; therefore they all need individual attention.
It's probably just my nature, but I CANNOT handle when my kids start spilling their entire day onto me all at once. I want to pull my freakin' hair out!
For this reason, I've tried really hard to enforce kiddo and Mom 1-on-1 time with each girl.
I will love on them for a minute, empty their backpacks/look over homework due, and then most importantly, talk about their day with them.
3. Asking the RIGHT questions.
I've been guilty of being a "Did you have fun today?" parent. Literally this would be the ONLY question I'd ask my kids when they got home from doing whatever it is that they were doing. 95% of the time the answer was "Yeah, it was fun", and then not much else.
- What was the best part of your day today!?
- Where you ever frustrated/mad/annoyed at anyone or anything today?
- What was your favorite thing you learned?
- Did you ever feel scared today?
- When did you practice being kind or helpful?
- Was today a good day, or a bad day - and why?
I know, I know... it will feel weird at first to ask some of these questions, especially if your kids are older and not used to them, but I promise you after only a few days of this routine, nobody will think anything of it... and HOLY COW you can get some really good information from your kids about the most important and impactful parts of their day!
It gets them thinking, feeling and connecting with their emotions, so much more than when you just ask... "Did you have fun today?".
Just try it. For me it's really helped my more private children open up a lot more.
Of course while a lot of this is happening, naturally the girls are split up doing their own thing. Homework, music practice, etc... and it's worked REALLY well!
What's YOUR after school routine like?
Do you find certain things work better for you than others?
Cute homework stations and yummy snack ideas are awesome for back to school kids, but really, that individual time when you stop and REALLY talk with them about how they feel, is just SO important I think.
Promise me you won't get so busy or book your kids into so many after school activities that you forget to really bond with them, okay? Because even though your kids may be small now, I have a feeling that one day, they'll stop sharing so much, and we'll all be sad that we didn't have those lines of communication open sooner.
What settings on your camera did you use to get such great back to school photos?
First of all, PRECIOUS girls!!! And secondly, thank you for this thoughtful post - I love good conversation starters!!
Really good communication ideas here. My son started high school this year, and when I ask him "how was your day", the standard answer is "good". Period. I've just been thinking the last couple of days I need to ask different questions, specific questions about classes and friends.
p.s. your daughters are really beautiful - such great smiles.
Love it!! This year's been a little better with sharing but generally after school my daughter has NO interest in talking! And I agree...downtime is so needed. I know I'd need it! :) Thanks for sharing these tips...really like the questions!
Great ideas in this post! And your girls are gorgeous :) I think there's a big difference from girls to boys in how to handle the after-school routine!
Such a great topic and reminder!!


Director M. Rajesh and actor-composer G. V. Prakash Kumar announced that they would collaborate for a new comedy film during early November 2015, after the director had been impressed with the actor's performance in Trisha Illana Nayanthara (2015).
Titled Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru after a dialogue from Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai (2006), Rajesh signed on actresses Nikki Galrani and Avika Gor to play the film's leading female roles after Priya Anand and Keerthy Suresh were linked to the project.
T. Siva agreed to produce the film, while actors RJ Balaji and Prakash Raj joined the cast of the film in early 2016.
Production began for the film at Sathyam Cinemas during early March 2016, before the team shifted to film scenes in Pondicherry.
G. V. Prakash Kumar and RJ Balaji suffered injuries following a car accident during the making of the film in late March 2016. In May 2016, Rajesh chose to replace Avika Gor with Anandhi, after the actress had difficulties filming scenes in the Tamil language.


The Cedar Grove Fire Department held their dinner at Il Tulipano on Sat. February 6 in honor of outgoing chief Alex Spinella. Spinella received his Ex-Chief awards and various other service awards were presented to members of the department.
Mayor Joseph Chiusolo and Councilman O'Toole also recognized and presented Proclomations to Alfred Giancola and Russ VanZile for over 50 years of dedicated service to the Township of Cedar Grove.
Cedar Grove FD was dispatched to the CitiBank located at 480 Rt. 23 for a suspicious package hazmat incident on February 16th at 0853hrs. Arriving police units determined that an envelope containing "white powder" was delivered to the address in an envelope. Fire units stood by until Nutley Fire Dept. Hazmat Unit arrived and tested the powder. Nutley Hazmat Units deemed the powder in question to be some type of food material and non hazardous. All fire units cleared at approximately 0930hrs.


He kissed the breasts of a third naked woman who played with his hair while making small talk with someone else. Sounds kind of creep and sad But unsure of how helpful an opinion of a place you have never been to is. First off, the place is BYOB — you bring your booze, then check it at the bar in the main room, where they label it with your name, and then pour drinks for you all night long and expect tips, of course. There is a pool and a large hot tub. Many of the couples we saw were only interested in watching or playing alone. The bar area has a pole dancing section and a couple of pool tables.
That being said, the summer months is when Chicago really comes alive, from the outdoor restaurants, packed lake-shore beaches and places like Navy Pier or visits to the Dales. Noe if dancing, music and costumes sounds exciting to you, your going to love the Dallas National Polka Festival April th. It's Sinatra and I loved it. Keep in mind; New Yorkers will be forever at your service when you ask directions or a reference for restaurants.

England fans blast decision to make Fabian Delph captain: "Is this game just for banter?"
Fabian Delph's first experience as England captain will undoubtedly be a strange one.
First of all, there is the small matter of record-goalscorer Wayne Rooney coming on to take the armband from him at some point.
Secondly, it's questionable whether Delph would even start the game unless it were an inconsequential friendly against the USA.
The Manchester City man has made just three Premier League appearances for his club this season, but nevertheless he will captain his country on Thursday night.
Gareth Southgate said: "Fabian is captaining his country for the first time and it is brilliant reward for him. He is an outstanding player and outstanding person.
England fans on Twitter, however, weren't so thrilled.
Fabian Delph is to captain England tomorrow. I'm lost for words.
Delph..england captain?..hold on has he even played this season??
@GarethSouthgate Fabian Delph as captain? Are you mad?!

Q: body touch-action: none, but be able to pinch to zoom a div As the title says, I'd like to know if it's possible to enable only a specific div when body is set to touch-action: none.
My goal is to block all the browser zoom, but allow to zoom in a specific part of it (maybe an image).
Is this possible? maybe in Javascript or pure CSS?
my code is the following:
$("#no-zoom").click(function(){
   if( $('body').css('touch-action') == 'none' )
    $('body').css("touch-action","")
   else
    $('body').css("touch-action","none");
    $('.zoom').css("touch-action","pan-x pinch-zoom");
});

Obviously, this part is not working: $('.zoom').css("touch-action","pan-x pinch-zoom");
Thank you!

A: You can use siblings: .notouch and .content.
.notouch will cover all the page and .content will contain elements that can suffer touch interactions.

body {
    position: relative;
}
.notouch {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    touch-action: none;
}
.content {
    position: relative;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
}
.image {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    background: #d3d3d3;
}

Like this, you can use zoom only inside .image.

Winners for the 13th Scottish Asian & Business Awards have been revealed after a glamorous, black-tie awards ceremony was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Tuesday the 18th of December in Glasgow.
The much-anticipated annual award ceremony began its journey in 2006 and exists to honour and celebrate the hard work of Asian professionals, community groups, activists and businesses that have succeeded, excelled and persevered in the Scottish Asian community. Categories this year were wide-ranging, honouring entrepreneurs and professionals across private, public and third sectors.
The event was organised by the UK's leading ethnic consulting and promotions organisation Oceanic Consulting, finalists at the Asian Media Awards 2017 for their impact in the Marketing & PR Sector. Oceanic Consulting are responsible for some of the most successful and well-known events in the country, including the British Indian Awards, the Curry Awards, and the British Muslim Awards.


1650s, "a drawing of the outline of anything," from older Italian profilo "a drawing in outline," from profilare "to draw in outline," from pro- "forth" (see pro-) + filare "draw out, spin," from Late Latin filare "to spin, draw out a line," from filum "thread" (see file (v.)). Meaning "a side view" is from 1660s. Meaning "biographical sketch, character study" is from 1734.
Caught both the profiles—have 'em here—defy you not to smile.
Front views and profiles are valuable for some points and worthless for others.
They had hair the color of honey, olive skin, and Grecian profiles.
They sat with their profiles towards me on either side of the round table.
Their profiles and full faces, even in outline, are often most bizarre and strange.
From her position she could see the profiles of the two girls at the table.
In Egyptian profiles the eye is drawn as if for a full face.
She hasn't got a face, by the way, she has only two profiles.
One of the profiles she had just finished surprised and delighted her.
The profiles in the view are all pleasing, because the laws are observed.


Imagine an environment so turbulent that you had to flee your home country. Not just your geographical location, but your befriended comforts. It's also not just any comforts either, but the ones you live in, the ones you know. It's your family, your friends, your job, your favorite coffee shop, your quiet trail in the woods, even your cozy reading spot on a rainy day. It's your memories, your keep sakes, and your tokens you've collected throughout life. And then-- boom! --out of no where... It's all gone.
You had to leave everything behind. But not only that, everything was taken away from you. Some of your family members were brutally killed by the police, caught crippled in your collapsed home that was bombed, or held captive by the people you once thought were supposed to protect you.
This is what life is like for a refugee. Yes, this story is tragic but there is redemption. There's is hope, reconciliation, and restoration. The missing link of this story is in the power of Jesus and His powerful love that heals.
Yesterday our YWAM staff team, the Spring DTS outreach team, and I went to a refugee camp here in Thessolonikki, Greece. If I am being honest, my perspective and expectations of what I thought of the Refugee Crisis or what the refugees were actually like, was completely skewed. Sure, I knew facts or what the media communicated, but never before had I been invited into a Refugee's tent for coffee, talked with them, laughed with them, or eaten with them. None of this had happened until yesterday, that is. The camp consists of rows and rows of tents that are labeled by number, there are porta-potties, and some electricity. There are kids everywhere and really nothing for anyone to do, except for wait. The moment we arrived, kids came running up to our DTS team (who have been in this camp for a little over a month), hugging them saying "my friend! my friend!". I was so overjoyed to see two completely separate cultures and walks of life, being as close as a family. As the day went on, we distributed supplies that the people needed and also gave them boxes of tea. I was so quickly overcome with emotion caused by this terrible crisis that these people don't deserve, yet I felt the immense presence of Jesus in that place. I expected to walk into a very dark environment with no hope. Instead, I saw nothing but God's glory, presence, and light in every corner of the camp.
The other part of my perspective that was completely off was my view of what the people there would be like. I expected a lot of poverty amongst them. I expected that they were living in poverty even before they came to the camp, when they were back home. I had this view of the refugees as people who were not employed or ones who really struggled with their previous life in their home country before the war even began. The truth is that these people are just like us. They worked 9-5 jobs, drove taxis, stayed home with their children, and had degrees. They were business men, artists, and so much more. They had dreams, ambitions, friend groups, favorite restaurants, and hopes for their future family. But now, here they are, in a foreign land with a foreign language, lacking the money needed to reunite with their family members scattered throughout other parts of Europe. Some not even having enough money to buy deodorant and most of them showering with buckets. The most unnatural and ironic thing about all of this, is that in every tent that I got invited into, they fed me until I was full, and they offered me an abundance out of their poverty. They filled my cup of water every time it was close to being empty for no reason other than to welcome me into their home (even if that means a 10 ft X 10 ft tent). Sometimes they spoke great english and shared about the tragic conditions of their home country, while other times we would just laugh and try charades in order to communicate. As the day went on, I slowly fell more and more in love with these people. Their beauty, their hospitality, and their friendship.
The coolest part about all of this is what God is doing. He is redeeming, restoring, and bringing His children back into His arms of safety, love, and forgiveness. In one tent, a family had a bible and they said they read it every day. She started asking questions about the book of Mark and about Jesus. As you all may know, the countries that these refugees fled from were closed Nations to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Being a christian there would result in an immediate death penalty. But now, these refugees are stepping on new and safe ground to hear the Good News of Jesus' saving grace, for the first time ever. Can you imagine? What freedom! Some are curious about who Jesus is, some have been physically healed, others have become Christians, while some are still against Jesus altogether. The beauty of it all is that God took from the enemy the evil, cruel, malicious things that are happening in the refugees' home countries, and He is redeeming, restoring, providing, and protecting them. God's love is evident through the relationships that have, and are now continuing to be built in the camp. I have had the privilege to see how these refugees respect, love, value, and trust our DTS team here. Our team is supplying them with their tangible needs as God opens up doors to share and fulfill their spiritual needs.
As the day finished, I was walking around the camp with my new 6-year-old friend, Judy. I had just shared a meal with her and her mom in their tent, and afterwards I was giving her a piggy back ride as we walked. As we were walking, we passed a tent with some of our DTS students and their refugee friends sitting and hanging out with a guitar. Immediately a student named Josh says "Shea! Come in and play a song!", so I did! I knew that I had to be careful with my song choice, so I picked ones that were worship songs but didn't say "Jesus" over and over again so that it wouldn't distract them, create aggression, or damage what Holy Spirit wanted to do there in each of their hearts. As I started to sing, the tent grew silent except for the shuffling of new friends entering the tent. Immediately I felt God's presence. I closed my eyes and started to worship over those people, that tent, and the camp altogether. I knew God was moving. As I sang and worshipped, a crowd grew behind me at the entrance of the tent (I had no idea because I was facing the other way). There was a peace. A hope. A new beginning. God wants those people to know Him so badly. He wants them to be reunited with their families. He wants them to be healed and to know that they are forgiven. After a few songs, they clapped, smiled, said thank you, and then we said our goodbyes for the day and left. Yesterday didn't feel like a scheduled ministry time, but just a bunch of friends hanging out all day. I know God is making Himself known in that place. I saw it and it was beautiful.
It's time that we as the western church stop just being "aware" of what we think is happening around the world. It's time we stop viewing this crisis as a statistic or a problem, but instead that we see this crisis as a real and terrible thing that is directly effecting people. Mothers, sisters, brothers, friends, and family are all going through this. These are families that need our help and don't want to be viewed as a project, but instead as a relationship. A journey of transformation. These people as a whole are not dark, unfriendly, violent, evil, or angry. They are kind and welcoming and really just want to be able to have a normal life again. So, if you find yourself reading this and wonder what role you have to play, it's quite simple actually. You either go, you send, or both. This is an opportunity we have to rise up as believers in unity and help them. This is a chance to meet physical needs, but most importantly to share the amazing news that is the victory of Jesus Christ! Imagine if this crisis happened to you in your own city. Your own home. Your own family. What would you want? What would you need? Let's stop talking about being like Jesus and start being like Jesus! What a gift it is that we already know Him and are in relationship with Him. Everyone is worthy of that. You have a gift that the Nations are longing for. Go and share it!
Where will you go? Who will you send?

Mr. Moore is the 2015 Teacher of the Year in YLHS

Yorba Linda High School is proud to announce Mr. Moore as the 2015 Yorba Linda High School Teacher of the Year. The students voted for the teacher that they felt best represented the culture of the school. Announced at the Renaissance Assembly, the students went wild when Mr. Moore was announced the victor of the teachers.
"I feel very honored and proud to receive this award. I work with so many great teachers who could have been recognized, so this is very humbling for me," said Mr. Moore
Mr. Moore has been a member of the Yorba Linda family for 6 years, with 38 years of teaching under his belt. He teaches World History and Sociology.
During his time at YLHS, he has served as a women's basketball team. He has also coached the men's varsity basketball at Esperanza High School. He coaches a total of 5 different sports, but basketball is his niche.
"I used to be a varsity basketball coach at Esperanza, so it was nice to transition into the girls' basketball team at Yorba Linda High School," said Mr. Moore
Mr. Moore said his most memorable teaching experience at Yorba Linda High School was conducting a marriage panel in his sociology class.
"It is very, very valuable lesson. Relationships are very difficult by nature and by having the students share their experiences, they learn that not everybody has the same experiences. So you get to see five or six different scenarios because we're all different. That's my favorite part," commented Mr. Moore
Mr. Moore said 'Don't sweat the small stuff' is his life motto.
"Too many people are kind of stress buckets. They worry about everything. So worry about big things. Don't worry about little things. Big things, like family, marriage, health and making good choices worry about big things. The little things will pass, but the big things are what will really matter."
