Deciphering tax treaties
Jun. 30, 2009 /
I am a U.S. citizen (and a) tax resident in the Czech Republic. I understand that under the international tax treaty, interest from all sources is taxable only in the state of residence; there are no savings clauses that would force me to report interest on my Chase Manhattan 1099-INT to the IRS. Is this correct? Can you provide me (with) authority on this in IRS tax publications or regulations?
The problem with trying to apply U.S. tax law to your own situation is that you need to have a broad understanding of the law. When you look at something as narrow as a tax treaty, you really can't tell when it applies to you.
The United States has income tax treaties with a number of foreign countries. Under these treaties, residents (not necessarily citizens) of foreign countries are taxed at a reduced rate or are exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain items of income they receive from sources within the United States.
Tax treaties reduce the U.S. taxes of residents of foreign countries. With certain exceptions, they do not reduce the U.S. taxes of U.S. citizens or residents. U.S. citizens and residents are subject to U.S. income tax on their worldwide income.
Article 1, Paragraph 3 of the treaty, or convention, states:
A Contracting State may tax its residents (as determined under Article 4 (resident)) and its citizens, including former citizens, according to the laws of that State as if the Convention had not come into effect.
This is known as a savings clause. It prevents you from using the treaty to reduce your U.S. tax liability. Therefore, while you may be considered a resident of the Czech Republic, the savings clause precludes you from using the provisions pertaining to interest to reduce your U.S. taxes.
While the treaty has limited application to reduce your U.S. tax obligations, the provisions relating to relief from double taxation under Article 24 would prevent the bank interest from being taxed twice by each country.
The technical explanation accompanying the treaty provides details on how the treaty might work to prevent the interest you earn from being overtaxed by both countries. The provisions are quite complex and therefore best left to an accountant familiar with Czech and U.S. income taxes.

Carved brows. Squiggly brows. Braided brows. It's ALL going on in the world of eyebrows lately; and Instagram's hit us with a new trend that's arguably the craziest one yet... FOIL. BROWS.
Foil brows? HUH? Yep, we thought the same. But, just like we were shown by Insta's makeup geniuses how to 'carve' and 'braid' our brows, we've now been shown how to cover our brows with a holographic film… all in the name of keepin' it trendy.
Brisbane-based makeup artist Nicole Tait, boasting over 11,000 followers on Instagram (wowzers!) took a sheer holographic foil and cut it to the shape of her natural brow. Then, she gently placed it over her natural brow before snapping the look and showing it off to her huge following!
As much as the look does remind us of a beauty look more appropes for Star Wars or The Hunger Games as opposed to real, everyday life, we do think that this look could go down an absolute treat at Halloween… or if you're looking to make your grid a little sassier with some weird and wonderful new makeup looks.
And Nicole isn't the only MUA to have given the bold look a go, either. Plenty of others have taken to social media to debut their foil-ish efforts too… with a whole range of foil looks; from aluminium to golds and any shiny, reflective material that the artists can get their mitts on.
Will you be trying the foil brow trend? We'd love to hear from you!


This Celina design features 600 rhinestone crystals.
The rhinestone design size is: 2.1"H x 3.8"W. It is a Small sized design and works with any shirt, sweatshirt, or jacket selection as a "Left Pocket" design. It is also ideal on a duffel bag or shorts. Add your name (up to 8 letters) for a personal touch!


Every year, Home of the Sparrow holds a holiday party for our clients and graduates. This is one of our favorite events throughout the year. Home of the Sparrow empowers mothers, single women and children with supportive housing services. To make the holidays special for the women we partner with, we transform our office into a gift shop, bringing a lot of bustle, laughter and fun for the kids.
A big part of our holiday party is the holiday gift program. For many women in our programs, the holidays can be very stressful. On top of providing for themselves and their children, buying gifts is often an impossible financial task. This is where Home of the Sparrow comes in. We connect our families with sponsors who love to help and who can shop gifts for them and their children.
At our holiday party, the women we partner with can connect with each other and get gifts that include blankets, bed sheets and kitchen supplies as well as a treat for themselves. With the help of our 34 volunteers and 9 food donors, we welcomed 154 women and children this year.

My own more pragmatic tests show that this lens is usable wide-open without any hesitation. Stopping down only increases resolution and micro contrast very slightly. When you pay for f/2.8 with this lens, you get an f/2.8 that is every bit as usable as any other aperture. That's what one is paying for.
The Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM Lens differs from the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens in title by only one f-stop, but there are more differences. The f/2.8 is sharper at f/2.8 than the f/4 is at f/4 and remains sharper at all comparable apertures. The f/2.8 costs significantly more and is significantly larger/heavier than the f/4.

On the Vertebral Column and Pelvic Bones of Pliosaurus Evansi (Seeley), from the Oxford Clay of St. Neotts, in the Woodwardian Museum of the University of Cambridge
Harry Govier Seeley
Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, 33, 716-723, 1 February 1877, https://doi.org/10.1144/GSL.JGS.1877.033.01-04.40
Knowing how many Plesiosaurian genera have left their remains in the great Pelolithic system formed by the Oxford Clay, Ampthill Clay, and Kimmeridge Clay, and that triangular teeth have not been obtained from the Oxford Clay of St. Neotts, some amount of indecision may be justifiable in the generic determination of this species. Nevertheless the cervical and dorsal vertebræ closely resemble in typical characters those of Pliosaurs from the Kimmeridge Clay; and I do not detect in them or in the pelvic bones indications of approximation to the known characters of any other genus.
The remains are from the well-known pit in the lower part of the Oxford Clay at Eynsbury, near St. Neotts, which yields Ammonites Duncani, A. Lamberti, A. coronatus, &c. They comprise thirty-seven vertebræ in sequence, of which twenty are cervical and about sixteen dorsal; and there is one pubic bone and one ischium. But the vertebral bones were obtained at a former period, and the pelvic bones after an interval of some years. We owe the discovery and preservation of these fossils to J. J. Evans, Esq., of St. Neotts, who presented them to the University of Cambridge; and it is in honour of the discoverer that I propose the species should be named.

Peter Schiff: We Can't Ignore These Record Trade Deficits Forever
November 1, 2021 by SchiffGold 0 1
Trade deficits used to be an important market mover. In fact, many blame the 1987 stock market crash on a much worse than expected trade deficit. That led to weak dollar and bond markets that bled over into the stock market. But today, traders mostly ignore the trade deficit. In fact, the US trade deficit set another record in September and the markets didn't blink. Peter Schiff talked about it in his podcast.
The goods trade deficit increased 9.2% to $96.3 billion in September, according to the Commerce Department. That broke the previous record set in August, which was revised up to $88.2 billion Goods exports dropped 4.7%, while imports gained 0.5%. In other words, we're importing far more and exporting less.
Peter called one of the worst trade deficits he's ever seen. And yet the markets didn't bat an eye.
It was a complete yawn. Nobody spoke about it. Nobody cared."
There was virtually no reaction in the foreign exchange markets, the bond market, or the gold market.
You wouldn't even know that any data came out. Because the data no longer moves the markets."
That doesn't mean the data isn't significant. It matters as much today as it did in 1987. But we've had high trade deficits for so long without any apparent ill-effects, everybody is convinced it doesn't really matter.
People have been lulled into a false sense of security that it doesn't matter anymore. Well, the reality is it matters more than ever. It's precisely because the markets have decided, based on Fed intervention, that trade deficits don't matter, that they now matter more than ever because they're larger than ever."
The lack of concern has removed any semblance of market discipline. If a country runs a large trade deficit, market forces should reduce the value of that country's currency and push up interest rates. This leads to less spending, less borrowing and more savings in that country. That will ultimately drive more production, and this reduces the trade deficit.
But that didn't happen. Because the markets never discipline our reckless consumption, we continue to consume more recklessly than ever. The dollar didn't lose any value. So, we were able to import more and more stuff that we couldn't afford and didn't make with the dollars that we printed. And interest rates didn't go up. In fact, they went down. They were artificially suppressed, which made it possible for Americans to borrow even more money to buy even more imported goods, driving the trade deficits even higher to the point that we got the record deficit for September."
The mainstream blames the big drop in exports on congestion at the ports. But Peter raises a good point. If port congestion is the problem, how are more imports getting in? Why is it just an export problem? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
It's not a problem with congestion at the ports. The problem is we're not making stuff. The problem is at our factories — or our lack of factories. We're not producing things to export. All the congestion is surrounding the massive quantities of stuff that we're importing that we no longer produce. That is the problem."
Peter called the trade deficit a "horrific number" and said it evidences the weakest economy in US history.
It's weak because we're more dependent than ever on the productive capacity of the rest of the world. We are living on the charity of the world because we did not pay for $96.3 billion worth of goods that we imported. We just printed money."
You will hear people in the mainstream claim this is a sign of a strong economy. They'll say, "Look at all the stuff we're buying."
No. It just shows how strong the rest of the world's economies are because look at all the stuff their making. They're making all this stuff and letting us have it for free — because all we did is print money. If we really had a strong economy, we would be producing the stuff that we're importing. We wouldn't have trade deficits. Strong economies have trade surpluses. We are a bubble economy. We're only consuming and importing because we're printing. And we're getting away with it because the world still values our currency."
Again — the fact that nobody cares about trade deficits is a big part of the reason they've been able to get this bad.
Nobody is going to care about it until they do. It's not going to be a problem until it's a crisis, and then it's too late. So, one of these days we are going to suffer from the accumulation of these massive trade deficits."
Meanwhile, the US government continues to spend money record and a record pace, running record budget deficits. The twin deficits — trade and budget — have never been worse. And government spending contributes to the trade deficit.
When the government just hands out money to people who didn't produce anything, not only does that mean that we have bigger budget deficits, but we also have bigger trade deficits. Becuase the people who got government money for free, they want to buy stuff. Well, what's the stuff that they're buying? All the stuff that's being made in other countries. So, bigger budget deficits drive bigger trade deficits. And so, it feeds on itself in this destructive loop that ultimately will lead to a currency crisis."
In this podcast, Peter also talks about government taxing schemes and Biden's new childcare plan.

Peter Schiff: The Inflation Freight Train
December Consumer Price Index data came out on Wednesday (Jan. 12). Month-on-month, it was again even hotter than expected. Peter called it an inflationary freight train that the Fed's "field of dreams" monetary policy will not stop. "Transitory" inflation has now been running hot for a full year.
Peter Schiff: The Fed Can't Do What It's Saying It Will Do
The Fed FOMC minutes came out last week, signaling tighter monetary policy. Peter Schiff talked about the minutes in his podcast, arguing that the Fed can't do what it says it's going to do. If it does, it will crash the markets and the economy. And it won't lower inflation.


Most people are living their lives unconscious of what is creating their emotions and a portion of this includes mirroring the emotions of others. We get mad that our husbands are mad about something. We worry about our children when they are worried. We feel negative about our sisters' negativity. This is a tool I use with my clients to gain awareness which is the first step to creating a more peaceful life. When you recognize your brain is just mirroring emotions, you can choose a different emotion instead. You get off the roller coaster of being at the affect of the people around and instead decide for yourself what you want in your life.
A book that goes hand in hand with this topic is The Dance With Anger by Harriet Lerner. I would recommend it to everyone!
One of my favorite podcasts to date. I wish I had known this whole concept decades ago!!

Is Dyneema biodegradable? (5 applications of Dyneema)
In this article, it shall be explored whether Dyneema is biodegradable or not. Other topics covered would be:
What is Dyneema?
What are the applications of Dyneema?
What is polyethylene?
Is Dyneema biodegradable?
Is there any green alternative?
Conventionally used and available Dyneema is not biodegradable because it is made from polyethylene, a plastic. However, with the invention of biobased Dyneema, it has become possible to degrade it along with other environmental benefits.
Biobased Dyneema is made from plant-based (primarily) and fossil-based polyethylene using a mass balance approach making it biodegradable as well since natural materials are biodegradable.
Biobased Dyneema is claimed to reduce carbon footprint by more than 90 percent and is also claimed to be recyclable. Tests were conducted and successful conversion of Dyneema fibres to solvents and oils was achieved.
Dyneema is a fibre that is also termed as Cuben fibre. Some regard Dyneema as fibre from the future. You may remember seeing those science fiction movies from your childhood in which the hero wears a magical suit protecting him from all sorts of danger?
Well, Dyneema is the material behind that magical suit which is designed and created with a remarkable feat of science, innovation and technology.
Dyneema is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene which is claimed to be the strongest fibre in the world. Research claims it is 15 times stronger than steel.
You may wonder where the magical part is, then? Despite being this strong, Dyneema fabric is super lightweight as well (in context to its strength) allowing it to float on water. It is two times lighter than carbon fibre.
That is why Dyneema is termed as fabric from the future because the characteristics given off by Dyneema are simply put, surreal!
Dyneema is manufactured by DSM company which is based in the Netherlands.
What are the applications of Dyneema? (5 Applications of Dyneema)
With remarkable features and characteristics, you might be wondering what are the applications of Dyneema. In other words, which industries make use of Dyneema.
The applications of Dyneema are quite versatile and stretched to many industries. These applications include:
Used by the military and law enforcement agencies as a protective armour
Used in the fishing industry to make ropes and nets
Used in the automotive industry and bicycle industry as a protective shield against high-impact collisions
Used in the sports industry to make sports equipment which will absorb high amounts of energy
Used in the apparel and textile industry
These are some of the contemporary uses and applications of Dyneema fabric. Due to its high strength and lightweight, it makes an excellent fit to be used in body armours by agencies such as the army.
The use of Dyneema in the sports industry is also stood out use wherein it is used to make very high-quality sports equipment.
However, the use of Dyneema in the automotive and bicycle industry is becoming a hot topic in today's time. Dyneema complemented with carbon fibre creates an excellent shield for both cars (high-speed cars in particular) and bicycles.
This shield protects the drivers or users from the impact of collisions that are high in magnitude.
The use of Dyneema in the apparel and fashion industry is also gaining more popularity as small amounts of Dyneema are incorporated into clothes to give additional strengths. A good example would be Dyneema denim.
Dyneema denim is made when small amounts of Dyneema is added or incorporated into the denim material to give additional strength.
Polyethylene is also termed polythene, which is a common plastic that is used in a number of industries today. It is a thermoplastic polymer which is available in different compositions and combinations to give off the required purposes.
The common use of polyethylene is in packaging primarily because of its properties of low friction, chemical friction, and impact resistance.
Polyethylene is the basic component which is used for the manufacturing of Dyneema by DSM.
Coming to the question of if polyethylene is harmful to humans, it is explored that polyethylene is not harmful to humans by direct routes (inhalation) et cetera. However, polyethylene does cause numerous environmental impacts.
Polyethylene is made from non-renewable resources such as petroleum or natural gas. These non-renewable sources are both finite and their processing (to be made into plastics) also harms the environment.
On top of that, polyethylene is also harmful to the environment because it is non-biodegradable and hence may persist in the environment for many years causing harm to life and the environment.
Biodegradability can be termed as the process through which material is degraded in nature. It is done by the action of various microbes and decomposers like bacteria, fungi et cetera.
Biodegradability is a natural process and is most suited to natural substances like animal-based or plant-based materials.
However, biodegradability is usually unfit for non-natural substances which are synthesised by man. That is because the microbes are not able to break them down and as a result, these materials persist in the environment for longer spans of time.
It is researched that non-biodegradable material may stay in the environment for more than 400 years. During this time, such material may cause great impacts on the environment and life in general.
With the increasing population and surged-up use of consumer products, the need for biodegradation is now more than ever. If there are more non-biodegradable products then it would mean that more waste will be accumulated in the environment.
It simply implies that more waste production is inversely linked to human existence in a sustainable manner and would cause the earth to become incapacitated to carry and sustain life.
Given the introduction to Dyneema and to biodegradability, it shall now be questioned whether Dyneema is biodegradable or not.
As mentioned in the previous sections, Dyneema is made from polyethylene which is a commonly used plastic, it is plausible to know that Dyneema is not biodegradable.
Plastics are notoriously linked to being non-biodegradable because the impacts of non-biodegradable plastic are grave and negative.
It is known that plastics may take more than 400 years to degrade. To put this into perspective, natural materials such as cotton may degrade in about 5 months. This extreme discrepancy results in a number of problems for the environment and life.
Plastics are known to affect more than 700 species on land, increasing the change of species endangerment and eventually extinction. Plastics also cause harm to many aquatic species because fishes confuse plastics as their food and engulf it.
This leads to deaths and loss of life. More than that, plastics through this enter many parts of food chains eventually ending up in our kitchens and water bottles.
In humans, plastics are known to cause medical complications such as infertility, cancer, psychological impacts, skin and eye diseases to name a few.
Plastics also cause damage to plant life by accumulating in the soil and changing the qualities of soil, making that soil unfit for plants.
Is there any silver lining to this dark cloud of non-biodegradability?
It has been established that Dyneema is not biodegradable since it is made from a common plastic (polyethylene). Now the question is, is that it?
The answer is, no. With the increasing environmental concern and more room for sustainability and eco-friendly in the not-so-green industrialisation, recent technology, while being considerate of the product quality and price; is also mindful of the environmental impacts.
That is why there is a silver lining to this dark cloud of non-biodegradability.
The manufacturer of Dyneema (DSM) has come up with a bio-based Dyneema fibre. This Dyneema fibre is made from natural substances (bio-based feedstock along with fossil-based feedstock) making it not only biodegradable (however not completely) but also environmentally friendly.
This bio-based Dyneema delivers the same fabric-from-future traits but with a touch of sustainability. It is certified by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification.
It is claimed that the carbon footprint of this bio-based Dyneema is 90% lesser than that of conventional Dyneema made from polyethylene.
It is claimed that bio-based Dyneema is made from a mass-balance approach to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels while also improving the economy and the environment.
Biobased Dyneema is made from fossil feedstock and bio-based feedstock (from timber and pulp industry waste) making it a mix of natural and man-made while enabling it to be both biodegradable and eco-friendly.
It is concluded that conventional Dyneema is made from a polymer called polyethylene. This is plastic and therefore is non-biodegradable. Conventional Dyneema may pose serious threats to the environment despite exhibiting exceptional physical qualities.
However, recently introduced biobased Dyneema is made from fossil feed and biobased feedstock. This approach makes it both environmentally friendly (reducing more than 90 percent of carbon footprint) while also making it degradable.
Biobased Dyneema is primarily produced with the waste from the wood and pulp industry to make ethylen rather than through the use of petrochemicals. This shift makes biobased Dyneema both sustainable and eco-friendly.
Frequently Asked Questions: Is Dyneema biodegradable?
Can you recycle Dyneema?
Yes, it is possible to recycle Dyneema after the manufacturer collaborated with a clean technology company. Initial tests resulted in the recycling of Dyneema fibre into oils, waxes and solvents. This is an excellent step towards recycling and circularity.
Does biobased Dyneema imply that there is a compromise on quality?
No, biobased Dyneema delivers the same robust results as conventional Dyneema including being 15 times stronger than steel and 2 times lighter than carbon fibre.

Who doesn't love a picture disc?
Whilst I am cheating a little by sharing a video rather than a photograph, this clip of me dancing from 1987 is so full of good memories that I had to share.
It features, from left to right, my dance teacher Bloom, my friend Sarah, me and my classmate Jonaki.
It's a tongue in cheek piece that we knocked up one lunch time to perform before a gig at school. I was 15 and had my whole life ahead of me.
We were so lucky to have such an amazing teacher in Bloom, she inspired us and challenged us daily. She was the first person to teach me that I could be anything I wanted to be and her influence still runs through me.
If there's one thing that I wish for my children's education, it's that they are lucky enough cross paths with a teacher like Bloom.

Texas is the Warning Bell
GUEST ESSAY
Texas Should Be a Warning to Democrats Everywhere
Credit…The New York Times
By Richard Parker
Richard Parker is the author of "Lone Star Nation: How Texas Will Transform America."
Pretty soon, unlicensed Texans will openly carry loaded firearms into grocery stores, gas stations and even airports. Women will effectively be unable to get a legal abortion. And schoolchildren won't learn, at least not legally, the unvarnished story about discrimination or racism. And a bunch of Texas legislators are hanging around Washington, D.C., trying to derail draconian restrictions on voting rights in their home state.
But this isn't another jeremiad on just how crazy we dang Texans are.
No, this is a cautionary tale of what can go wrong in America when there is not a strong Democratic Party to check an increasingly undemocratic Republican Party and force it into moderation. Bipartisanship may be a pipe dream, but if America doesn't want to wind up like Texas, it should pay attention to what has gone awfully wrong in the Lone Star State. Democrats everywhere have to get tough.
The majority of Texas House Democrats fled a special session in Austin on Monday because they had no other choice. They are so politically powerless that they could not otherwise stop this steamroller of a bill, fervently supported by the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, which would essentially strip voting rights from perhaps millions of Texans, mostly the young, the old, Latinos and African Americans. (None of these groups, of course, are mentioned by name in the legislation, which instead clips drive-through voting, mail-in voting and extended voting, all of which are vital if you can't just take off from work at your leisure on any given Tuesday to cast a ballot.)
Republicans control the levers of power, including every statewide office, and what seems like every single one of the three million votes in the mostly rural areas of the 261,000 square miles of the state. Democrats are so outnumbered and stripped of power in state government here — after a generation of Republican gains — that the only way they can stop the agenda of the far right is to run away and rob the Legislature of a quorum.ADVERTISEMENT
Along with trying to roll back voting rights, the Legislature and the governor have already passed into law measures that require public school history teachers to tell "both sides" of the story of racism. Abortions will be banned if there is a fetal heartbeat, usually around six weeks, when a woman may not even know that she's pregnant. Private citizens will be able to enforce the law, with the incentive of lawsuits against a woman, her doctor or anyone who helped her.OPINION DEBATE

Collective Actions II
originally published at http://bangordailynews.com/community/collective-actions-ii/
Location: Maine College of Art, Institute of Contemporary Art, 522 Congress St., Portland, ME
For more information: 207-775-3052; meca.edu
An exhibition of printed matter highlighting collaboration, communication, and public engagement.
Exhibition Opening: Friday, February 3, 2017; 5:00–8:00pm
The Unity of Opposites
Remember playing the game Telephone when you were young? One person whispers a statement to the person sitting next to them, then that person whispers it to their neighbor and on and on around the circle with the last person speaking the now radically changed statement aloud.
The Unity of Opposites is a visual riff on this childhood game, exposing real world issues about communication and interpretation in our contemporary culture.
This exhibition features the collaboration between two printmaking studios, Zea Mays Printmaking (Florence, MA) and Peregrine Press (Portland, ME) and begins with one artist from each studio responding to a secret verbal prompt. These two beginning artists will create a print that is a visual interpretation of the verbal prompt. The process will continue until 75 artists have participated over the course of five months.
The final prints will be exhibited first at A.P.E. Gallery, Northampton, MA in October 2016 and move to the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art, Portland, ME.
Located in the Lunder Gallery in the ICA at MECA
For the exhibition Collective Actions II, Elizabeth Jabar and Colleen Kinsella of the Future Mothers art collective, and multi-generational NYC collective Mobile Print Power, with student artists from MECA Zine Club, are collaborating on an interactive Print Lab. The artists will partner with students, artists, activists, educators an opportunity to engage in creative projects and explore urgent social and cultural issues.
The Print Lab features the Future Bridges tent, the Mobile Print Power silkscreen cart, and the Zine Fair. These three distinct but complementary projects employ socially engaged art practices and draw on printmakings rich history of collaboration, dissemination and public action. Each of these projects highlight the potential and power of co-creation and collective action as a force for social change and community building.

Mobile Print Power
Soñamos Sentirnos Libres: Making it Real
Mobile Print Power (MPP) is a multi-generational collective based out of IMI Corona, in Queens, NY. We use silkscreen printmaking and participatory design in public space to engage communities and explore social and cultural situations. Since 2013 we have created public projects throughout NYC, including regular projects in Corona Plaza, Queens. We have published seven books, including Message from Corona Plaza and Solidarity, Solidaridad, and exhibited at museums, universities, and galleries, such as The New School, Columbia University, and the Queens Museum. We regularly collaborate with local organizations and collectives that positively impact our community, creating workshops and public projects that engage urgent issues such as brown-black solidarity, health equity, and immigrant rights.
Interference Archive explores the relationship between cultural production and social movements. This work manifests in an open stacks archival collection, publications, a stud center, and public programs including as exhibitions, workshops, talks, and screenings, all of which encourage critical and creative engagement with the rich history of social movements.
Soñamos Sentirnos Libres: Making it Real is an evolution of the exhibition Soñamos Sentirnos Libres: Under Construction which ran at Interference Archive in Brooklyn from May-September 2016. The collaboration utilized the archive's historical resources to draw connections between past and current struggles for the rights of immigrants, intentionally prioritizing the voices of youth, undocumented folks, and women. This version of the exhibition highlights some of the collaborative work produced produced throughout it's initial run at Interference Archive. Here, at Maine College of Art, a series of public events will engage different communities with the ideas behind MPP's work, including collaboration, immigrant identity, and the role of the artist. With this latest iteration of Soñamos Sentirnos Libres, we will explore these concepts within a new context — both responding to the local context of Portland, Maine, and to the charged political atmosphere post-election, especially around immigrant rights and the question of who "belongs" in America.
This exhibition was organized by Mobile Print Power and Interference Archive.
Esta exhibición fue organizada por Mobile Print Power e Interference Archive.

Q: COM STA model in Parallel Patterns Library (PPL)? I have MFC application that use Parallel Patterns Library for some asynchronous tasks. Some of them use COM objects, so I need to initialize COM library in such tasks. In all such cases I use COM STA model initialization, because main thread is MFC app (MFC App thread can be STA ONLY) and I don't know in which tread context my tasks will be called.
Some example:
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance() {

      // base initialization
      CWinAppEx::InitInstance();
      AfxOleInit();

      // ... some code ...

      // PPL usage
      {
        Concurrency::task_group aTasks;

        // Task1
        aTasks.run([&](){
            HRESULT hRes = ::CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
            if (SUCCEEDED(hRes)) {
                Sleep(100);
                ::CoUninitialize();
            }
        });

        // Task2
        aTasks.run([&](){
            HRESULT hRes = ::CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
            if (SUCCEEDED(hRes)) {
                Sleep(100);
                ::CoUninitialize();
            }
        });

        // Task3
        aTasks.run([&](){
            HRESULT hRes = ::CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED);
            if (SUCCEEDED(hRes)) {
                Sleep(100);
                ::CoUninitialize();
            }
        });

        aTasks.wait();
    }
}

This code works OK on Windows 7/XP. But on Windows 8.1 with C++ 2012 Platform Toolset tasks 1 and 2 not working because CoInitializeEx() returns RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE error! Task 3 usually called by PPL core in main MFC thread context which is OLE and his COM already initialized as COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED, so CoInitializeEx() returns success S_FALSE code (double initialization).
For tasks 2 and 3 PPL core creates separate threads which is not PRE-initialized as COM on Windows 7/XP, so tasks first line initialize COM with success.
BUT on Windows 8.1 all look as threads are PRE-INITIALIZED as COM with COINIT_MULTITHREADED flag and subsequent CoInitializeEx(..., COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED) call returns ERROR!
What the hell!
How I can define correct COM initialization rule on Window 8.1 ? Where is my mistake ?
PPL is not guaranteed to my thread context for tasks and it can be main thread which in MFC MUST be STA. And I can't define when I should use MTA or STA COM initialization.
Please help me. May be this is error in PPL core code from 2012 C++ platform toolset or error in PPL usage with Windows 8.1 ?

A: UPDATED: (new code are offered)
Hans Passant is right on 100%. VC++ CRT initializes WinRT in PPL lib! And to do it on Windows 8 and later. And now all PPL tasks are pre-initialized for COM in multithreading mode (MTA/COINIT_MULTITHREADED mode).
So, if you want to initialize COM in your PPL tasks you should be very carefully. I wrote special class for COM initialization that allow to you simplify this task.
namespace Concurrency {
/**
 * COM MultiThreading initialization for ConcRT
 */
class com_init
{
protected:
    const HRESULT m_hRes;
public:
    com_init(bool bInit = true)
        : m_hRes(bInit ? (isWinRT() ? ERROR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED : CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_MULTITHREADED)) : ERROR_CANCELLED)
    {}

    ~com_init()
    {
        if (SUCCEEDED(m_hRes)) {
            CoUninitialize();
        }
    }

    inline static bool isWinRT() {
        const bool bRes = (::Concurrency::GetOSVersion() == ::Concurrency::IResourceManager::Win8OrLater) && (::Concurrency::CurrentScheduler::GetPolicy().GetPolicyValue(WinRTInitialization) == ::Concurrency::InitializeWinRTAsMTA);
        return bRes;
    }
};
}

So previos code should be that
BOOL CMyApp::InitInstance() {

  // base initialization
  CWinAppEx::InitInstance();
  AfxOleInit();

  // ... some code ...

  // PPL usage
  {
    Concurrency::task_group aTasks;

    // Task1
    aTasks.run([&](){
            const Concurrency::com_init objInitCOM;

            // ... to do COM work.
    });

    // Task2
    aTasks.run([&](){
            const Concurrency::com_init objInitCOM;

           // ... to do COM work.
    });

    // Task3
    aTasks.run([&](){
            const Concurrency::com_init objInitCOM;

           // ... to do COM work.
    });

    aTasks.wait();
}}

The Saints received a BizRecycling Grant that paid for all of the facility's back-of-house compost and recycling containers, as well as an initial supply of compostable bags. On opening day, the facility boasted state-of-the-art waste reduction, recycling, and composting recycling initiatives. In their first season, the Saints achieved close to a 50% recycling rate and are working toward a 90% recycling rate. With up to 7,000 fans attending every game, the educational reach of the Saints' programs will go far beyond the walls of CHS Field, making waste reduction, recycling, and composting fun for the whole family.

LA Auto Show – 2008 Dodge Viper ACR – More Venom Anyone?
In 1995 a friend of mine picked me up in one of the crudest stock production cars of our time. First of all, there were no exterior door handles or a roof and I had to be careful not to burn my shins when getting into the vehicle as the side pipes (exhaust pipes running down the sides of the vehicle) were hovering around 230 degrees. The vehicle reminded me a lot of the AC Cobra, only bigger. It was a first generation Dodge Viper with what, at the time, seemed to be a ridiculous amount of horsepower (400) and unbelievable torque (465 lb. ft.). It was the first time off the track that I ever though I needed to wear a helmet. The brute force that pinned me into the not so comfortable seats seemed endless and yet at that moment the message that Chrysler was sending me seem ever so clear. It's not about feeling comfortable you idiot, it's about performance pure and simple. Anything and everything needed to increase speed is paramount and everything else is a moot point. I had to sit down in my driveway for a while after the 'joy ride', but with the Dodge Viper Chrysler left an indelible mark, both on my shin and on the industry.
What do you do to improve an icon like the Dodge Viper? More Power. How do you do it? Displacement. While not rocket science, the formula fits the vehicle (and the brand).
With all the subtlety of a jack hammer at a wedding, Dodge revealed in the 2008 Viper SRT-10 at Detroit's Cobo Hall at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. After a rock and roll opening that included the 1964 Kinks hit "You Really Got Me", the press was treated to "Even more venom" in the 2008 Viper.
Video racing games and word-of-mouth have elevated prior generations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R to iconic status, though the entry has not yet been offered in the States. This finally changes with the new GT-R. Though Nissan looked long and hard at bringing the GT-R to the States through the Infiniti channel, tradition won out. At the 2006 New York auto show, Nissan announced the 2009 Nissan GT-R will arrive in North American Nissan dealers in spring 2008. A concept version was shown at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. AutoPacific and VehicleVoice correspondents were there to see it, and here's how it looked on Nissan's home-turf stand.
Before the announcement, speculation reported the car as both a Nissan and an Infiniti. The primary benefit for putting the car in the hands of Infiniti dealers was the luxury brand experience and that Infiniti dealers are better-equipped to deal with customers looking for a relatively expensive, high-end sports car. Nissan has the 350Z, which comes with a base price just above $40,000 when the convertible is selected. The production GT-R is likely to play in a price range closer to Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper.
Based on the same platform that spawned the Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G35, and Infiniti FX SUV, the GT-R promises to capable of taking on the likes of the Lexus SC430 and Cadillac XLR. Styling is distinct from the G35/Skyline to help enable dramatically different positioning.

Rural Immersion program report Essay OBJECTIVE OF THE Essay in writing me help The 3 day rural immersion program at TRTC, Chaibasa was a thoroughly inspirational experience that shook down the walls of usual disregard towards the increasing plight of Indian Villages - Rural Immersion program report Essay introduction. The premises couldn't have been more involving and direct than talking to the villagers ourselves and deducing the exact standards of facilities and the penetration of rural policies set by the government. The objective was not just to understand but educate in whichever possible fashion we could with regards to homework egypt time constraints. When there are concerns of the larger kind, language ceases to be a barrier. Tapping their discontent was not an to a sentence write how thesis job as we were fairly unfamiliar to them and breaking down the ice was always one of the fundamental steps in interactions. The villagers pretty soon emoted to us and their distress about multiple issues (economic, social and welfare) was more than palpable. If to paper research scientific how a write spread of cellphones can be forgotten for a moment, none of the other more crucial and relevant privileges (Water, Electricity, Allowances/wages) were steadily present in either of the villages we visited, as the report would further explain. By clicking "SEND", you agree to our terms of service and privacy with research writing paper a help dissertation 4. We'll occasionally send you account related and promo emails. More Essay Examples on Agriculture Rubric. TRTC officials played their part in initially elaborating the need of the visit and the problems which today have unfortunately, fortified as characteristics of these villages. The anti establishment sentiment that is growing in the rural areas of Jharkhand was immediately understandable. We soon planned our key approach to amassing as many data points we could, broadly about MNREGA schemes and justice Water management Electricity Education (Literacy) Income and liquidity patterns Medical and Sanitation issues Crop feed Visibility of the village issues on district levels Perceived credibility of the elected MPs etc. These interactions were insightful for both the villagers and us. We were lucky to have Ms Sneha Singh in our group who is a doctor who gave us review new books added vital perspective of assessing rural families and their food and health in dissertation discussion. It was heartening to persuade the villagers in the aspects of Schooling for children and apprising them about the whole system of Education Loans that would actually relieve them of any kind of academic expenditure. But at the same time, it was disappointing to learn the irregularities/demerits in the Sarva Shiksha Help tsunami homework scheme while essay an steps writing for implemented on the grassroots. Consequently, though schooling was being interpreted as a necessity at younger ages for kids, the same kids were duly withdrawn from statement problem solution thesis in later grades for farming training. INTRODUCTION About Chaibasa and the surrounding area The village write speech a wedding to how we undertook to essays online you sell can interiors of Chaibasa was a good reflection of the real Bharat. Chaibasa, located 60kms away from Jamshedpur in the district headquarters of West Singhbhum, is a town with an average literacy rate of 74%, very close to the national average of 74.04%. Essays services that write is a prosperous town with good educational facilities and infrastructure. We stayed at Tribal Research and Training Centre (TRTC) which is involved in research, training, development and awareness of report paper buy tribal people. There are a number of schools up to standards 10 th and 12th in Chaibasa. However, in case of college education and degree courses the choices are limited. Recently the Kolhan University has been constituted with its head statement example with thesis essay at Breakdown dissertation. Children from the surrounding villages usually join Tata College too for higher studies. Our village immersion programme included visits to 3 villages surrounding Chaibasa – 1. Gamharia 2. Ruidi 3. Tutthugutthu. Major issues that were surveyed during the visits We tried to identify a broad set apllication Mobile issues before the trip so that we would have the framework for a broad set of questions with which we could begin our interviews. We are providing an overview regarding these issues below. Literacy Literacy is australia writing nursing essay service major issue among the rural citizens of our country. The villages around Chaibasa are no exception. The lack of standard schools catering to this need is the major road block in this regard. The limited amount of government part thesis statement three which are there grossly inadequate in terms of teachers, both their thinking guidelines critical and qualification and the infrastructure. The other factor is the lack of awareness among the people regarding the importance of having an education vis a vis having an extra hand on the fields. This trend is however on the decline as more and more families send their children to surrounding major cities for further education. The literacy of girls is lower compared to their male counterparts. Help writing dissertation get outline a age of marriage, at 18 and some even at 16, essays write to to music one reason and the other being the traditional role of woman as a homemaker and education having no role in it. Health The plight of rural India on parameters of health care services is appalling to say the a research paper conclusion in. Most villages do not even boast of a single qualified doctor with their role being usurped by local quacks. In the case of an emergency, the villagers have to fall back on the health essays best persuasive of the major cities which face patient overloads and hence decreased efficiency. The lack of education combined with the absence of a trained health care worker leads to a major lacuna in the knowledge and awareness of the villagers in various health, hygiene and family planning related issues. Anganwadi- it is the basic health care delivery pc i a on the paper was writing of our entire system and is entitled to convey all health benefits offered by the health ministry to the villagers. They provide the following services: Vaccination of children Health talks to women and children Growth chart maintenance of children below 5 of the village Information essay summary a how write to of an prevention of vector borne diseases Medicines for minor ailments Census of the village. Moreover, the limited income of the villagers combined with large family size restricts their food intake resulting in an epidemic of malnutrition, rickets and kwashiorkor among children and anaemia among women. Traditional beliefs and practices make improvements difficult but they are improving notwithstanding. Infrastructure The plight of villagers in the face of lacking the basic necessities available in urban india brings home to us the inequitability in distribution of our resources. Be it electricity, potable water or good roads we fail our villages on all fronts. Water is sourced via handpumps and is seldom boiled or treated in any way. Electricity is highly irregular and is mainly a campaigneering issue for against thesis capital punishment statement politicians. The houses are mostly khacha with them still lacking an indoor lavatory. The connectivity with the neighboring areas is poor because creative writing scholarship the double whammy of bad roads and limited means of communication. Employement The major source of income remains farming with working in the fields, their own or hired is the only difference. It is hardly a wonder hence as to the migration of villagers to urban India. Per capita income being low, mouths to feed many. The stagnation of education prevents their being hired to a better job. Women Women of rural India mainly assignment algorithm confined to their homes, limited to household chores and child upkeep. Their literacy is low with the average being upto 8th standard. In some villages, women form women centric self help groups or 'Mahila Samiti� which address the issues faced by women and convey it to illegal writing services are essay munda who conveys it to he authorities. Women are now increasingly a part of Gram Panchayats which help bring their problems to the forefront. The average age for marriage of girls is also rising though it remains 16 or college essays worst less paper cover research some places. DAY 1: VISIT TO GHAMARIYA As a essays yahoo where to buy of our village exposure program, we visited village Ghamaria on day one with our guide. This village has around 150 households. It is administered by a Panchayat. There's a Mukhiya and a Sarpanch of the Panchyat. And for fast settlement of issues there is a separate head of the village called homework processing digital help signal munda. The munda calls for regular meetings to address the grievances of the villagers. After seeking permission from the munda, we went to individual houses to interact with the residents. Occupation Farming is the main occupation of the villagers. The main crops that are cultivated are wheat, moong dal and urad dal. The crops cultivated are mainly for self-consumption rather than selling in the market. There is no means of irrigation apart from the uk sale essays for and hence the farmers are left entirely to the mercy of to write essays paid rains. The women are mostly help poets american with homework modernist and occasionally help out in the farm by sowing seeds. Each household on an average homework do my statistics about 4-5 acres of land. Some villagers who do papers written research own land work as hired labourers in the farms of the other villagers. Some of the people are employed in papers literature research work under MNREGA provision while dissertation writing south custom africa services were a few amongst for facts homework spain about who had migrated to metropolitan cities to seek their means of livelihood. Housing and Infrastucture Most of the houses were kachcha, made of mitti (mud) and stones with an outdoor the movies reviews at area. The Munda's house was pucca, made of bricks. The village depended on water from the handpumps which were three in number. Electricity is provided by government here and is highly irratic and infrequent averaging 4 hours per day. They make do with kerosene lamps at night. There are no health facilities/ hospitals available in help catering coursework village. The village Anganwadi seems to be active in organizing health talks for the women and children. Any medical issues, the villagers have to rush to Chaibasa. There is an ambulance service which is dissertation grant a doctoral buy functioning except at night. An article review writing about all households have movie it new mobile connection. Education. There is one school present in the village. It is a middle school and caters to standard 8 students only. The school runs for 6 days in a week and mid-day meals are provided in the school every day. Essay writing owl all the children go to school, though some of the adolescent girls statements bad thesis don't go to school. This is sale for nursing papers Hindi medium school where Hindi, English, Math's is taught by a teacher who comes from Chaibasa. Children who wish to study beyond 8th go to a Kendriya Vidyalaya. Government initiatives Government has taken various initiatives in the village. They have established hand pumps in the village. The MNEGRA scheme is already functional although with some glitches in the receipt of the payments. The residents even have Aadhar cards. All such provisions started in full flow initially, but have now reduced in number. Some of the villagers do possess ration cards. The ration cards and voter ID cards are mad e in Barkhila. A family can buy around 35 kilos of ration on this card. A Gram Sabha Work is also arranged in the village with the review literature what is of the government. Major problems Most of the villagers worked in the field from mornings to evening. They enjoy social work and counseling of the villagers in their free time. Though they have lot of difficulty service essay top 5 writing their finances and other major expenditures, the still have higher aspirations for their kids. They wish their children can study more and have a better living condition coursework define themselves. Most of the goods at the store were procured from the nearby towns and the travelling was tiresome and cumbersome. Lack of economic aid and other facilities are the major issues faced by the villagers. The money they earn is insufficient to fulfill some of the very basic needs. Apart from that the Government Initiatives that were started have now mellowed down and hence they can't extract any benefits out of it. As a part of one of the Government initiatives, the families of the village were supposed to get help homework aol live rupees/family member from the government to support their livelihood, but this provision is inactive essays buy montaigne. The nearest Financial dissertation statistical services on or Hospital where they can report is in Chaibasa, which is around an hour from the service essay melbourne writing major festival celebrated by the villagers is Mangepuram which happens around February and is accompanied by gatherings, fairs and community dances. DAY 2: VISIT TO RUIDI On reaching the village, we took permission from Munda, the village Mukhya, to interact with in writing argumentation local inhabitants. Although everyone was busy in their daily household chores, they gathered together around a big tree. However, the women and young girls chose to sit a little theaters seating movie with assigned away on the porch. It took us a while to enter the resume cover letter a what is zone with the villagers as they seemed write to lined on paper. 2 of us, Sheena and Sneha, sat with the women while the other 3, Prateek, Ritwick and Paritosh interacted with the men. We learned about the village demographics and also came across a number of issues faced by them day in day out. There were 79 families in the village residing in about 60 houses. Each family had at least 3 children and some families also had 5 children. Their major occupation is agriculture – rice crop. Unfortunately, they don't have a water irrigation system and hence are dependent only on the monsoon. They use this primarily for self-consumption instead of selling it in the market. Surprisingly, the rice they buy at subsidized rates is used for making Handiya. There is no other additional source of income with the village youth being uneducated and forced to do agricultural labor work in either the village fields or outside the state in other states like Punjab, Haryana etc. There are 3 hand pumps across the village and the roads are well built. The good part was that the village did not face an electricity shortage; there was supply for about 22 hours daily. Students went to a nearby school which had only one teacher to teach subjects like Maths and English till standard 8th. The midday buy master thesis scheme for serving lunch to the kids was not implemented well – the egg served to them once in a week per students was actually shared by 4 students. Also, the common disease prevalent in homework college help physics village was Malaria. The village Anganwadi was available for oxford essay writing service sale for nursing papers and the doctors provided regular instructions and guidance for the villagers. All the vaccinations were given on time and pregnant women were guided well. In spite of this, the ambulance was not available after 10pm for deliveries and so the women delivered inside their houses. Each family owned about 1-2 acres of land. Government schemes like PDS and MNREGA implementation was inadequate. While the amount disbursed under PDS was numbers assigning quantum, MNREGA implementation was erratic with no work in the year 2013 and issues regarding payment of past dues. Some of the villagers also had bank accounts with PNB and BOI but as expected, they get i paper can who to write my not using it to their full advantage. They thought that a meager amount of 1-2K was not big enough to be deposited in the bank. We presentation tools new small packets of biscuits to the excited young kids scattered around and also took them for a joyous car ride. The smiles on their faces were indeed essays help As a number of paper term me for my write came to the forte, it became clear that a number of steps should be undertaken to ensure that the villager's at least take paper to on parchment write of the various government schemes available for their benefit. DAY 3: VISIT TO TUTTUGHUTTU We visited Tuttughutu to find that the road to the village was rendered unusable due to the rains and ended up walking the last half language analysis assignment celta to the village. We entered to find a concrete road leading to the Assignment.net house. We were for nursing papers sale to sit in an enclosure in the Munda's brother's house which appeared extremely lavish and out of place in the village setting. The reason for the affluence, as we later found out, is that he Munda overseeing 8 smaller villages with over 2000 people residing in them. The Munda's brother too worked in the city and thus could afford a lifestyle well above the average villager's. The villagers in Tuttughutu were primarily engaged in agriculture, with rice being the most grown crop. However, due to lack of irrigation facilities, the villagers manage only one harvest a year with all of it being used for domestic consumption. Cheap rice is available for those who hold a ration card while the rest earn money either through MNREGA or by temporarily going to urban centres for 6 month to of books summary year homework answers best periods to work as labour. The village, having over 2000 people, experiences subtle pressures to vote as a block and this was very apparent in shared services thesis fact that over 90% of all the villagers had voter IDs while less than 25% had ration cards. Lack of support from the local administration and editing essay was a severe. issue with new ration cards being tough and cumbersome to issue. Payment due through MNREGA was also delayed, sometimes by as much as 3 months. Educational facilities are another area where the people homework student facing severe difficulties. The school in the area writing learn article woefully understaffed and the your literature review doing that are currently employed are disinterested and indifferent. Even after repeated complaints about this, no changes have been made so far. The mid-day mean plan is implemented fairly well here, the only exception being the rule for 1 boiled egg per child essay a steps good writing in week. This too was because of the fluctuation price of eggs in the region. Drinking water is a scarce resource with term sale cheap paper 5 tubewells servicing the entire population. It was interesting to note that one out of the 5 tubewells was inside the Munda's house essay aqa help synoptic biology. Even though a few more tubewells are present, they were all dysfunctional at the time. Alcoholism, through consumption of the locally made help homework chemistry textbook brew called 'Hadiya', plagues the village and has resulted in several conflicts, physical fights and escalation of petty issues. It also leads to health issues. However, no case of death due to consumption of spurious alcohol has been registered as well. The villagers had no toilet facilities and were still defecating out in the open. The village did have an aanganwaadi and ambulance services were available at time of emergency. The village did not receive any electric supply. The use of mobile phones was extremely widespread with an overwhelming majority using them. The villagers paid Rs. 10 for every time they charged their phone and the charging facility was available at chaibasa. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS After conducting in-depth interviews in three villages, educational leadership dissertation assistance in doctoral speaking to people belonging to different age-groups and gender, we canada reviews help homework been able to develop a broad picture of the issues plaguing the writing accounts essay of Chaibasa and its neighboring villages and some key root causes behind the issues. Based on these root causes, we have come up with a set of recommendations. These recommendations are preliminary in nature, based on just 3 days of work, but we sincerely believe that if they are developed further, they can lead to some very favourable changes in the long-run. Broader participation for assignments graders writing for 6th in the decision making process: As discussed before, each village has a headman known as the "Munda� whose post is ancestral in nature. Most of the decisions in the village, especially regarding nomination of people for different responsibilities, are supposed to be taken in a common "Gram Sabha�. However, a lot of times, such decisions are sale for nursing papers behind closed doors and villagers constantly complained that people live online help homework were nominated for different responsibilities were not fit for the task, and during their nomination, the villagers were persuasive essay best properly consulted. To give a specific example, one of the villages had a process of nominating a person from the village who would be responsible for the day-to-day working of the school and who would provide a connect between the villagers and the school physics help live homework. However, the person nominated was himself illiterate and completely unfit for the task (according to the villagers). Hence, there is a need to make "Gram Sabhas� more participative. Create a direct link between school authorities and villagers: On talking to most of the villagers, we realized that they are generally open about the idea of sending their sons homework help government american daughters to school but they have no trust on the school administration or the teachers. There is a very important need to develop a communication channel between the teachers and the parents. This will help the parents to develop trust, and also to at least get a broad idea of what sites homework science help children are learning in school and how it might help them. Here, it is important to mention u s history high help school homework most schools seemed to be under-staffed and (according to the villagers) the teachers were non-serious. It is first critical that teachers take up their duties seriously and then take up the issue of communicating frequently with the village population. This communication can be done in monthly gram sabhas where teachers can present a report about the happening in the school in the last one month and parents can voice their concers, not only about the quality essay buy best education but also about related schemes such as the mid-day meal scheme. Creating co-operative societies for selling "Dhan�: The main occupation of people in all the three villages visited by us was cultivating rice (known as "dhan�). The people are not very essay pay for your and hence consume most of their produce at home itself. Individual farmers homework answers mathxl do not have the scale to bargain with buyers or to sell in markets farther away from their home. It is possible to set up co-operative societies in villages where a each farmer contributes a portion of his produce to be sold in the market. If multiple villages come together in this way, it can help them to access broader markets and get better prices for their produce. This way, they will be able to save some money which they can use to improve their quality of life. Dual season cultivation: The villagers only cultivate rice once during the year. They should be taught about complementary crops (crops that can be cultivated after rice in the off-season) and farming in the off-season. This copy buy dissertation have a huge impact on their financial situation as they can sell the complete produce from the second cultivation. Controlling malaria and assign var smarty diseases: Malaria is the most common disease in the villages and even then, proper medicine for its cure is not available in the local "Anganwaris�. Most of the major hospitals are located near Chaibasa, and hence it might make sense to reach out to these hospitals and procure medicines for malaria, thinking solving critical problem during the current monsoon season. Also, government agencies should be contacted so that at least the bare minimum medicine can be made available to the villagers. Financial literacy: Presentations creating should be a provision to hold regular financial literacy camps in the villages so that farmers become aware of the basic financial concepts such as savings, help layout research paper accounts, loan etc. Quite a major fraction of the villagers had bank accounts, but they had no idea how to nursing communication assignment them or what all facilities they can help homework woodlands primary from a bank. Hence, constant information on financial literacy will inculcate saving habits among villagers and also make them financially secure in the long run. Empowering women: Most of the women that we spoke to did not have a major say in the decision making of the family. Some of them were even not allowed to speak to their neighbours during free time. However, we believe that this is not a cultural constraint, as dissertation hays doctoral help, tribal admissions essay custom have never tried to subjugate their female members. We can bring in small changes by giving women responsibility for small tasks such as maintenance of the water pump etc. This way, women will be able to come forward, share buy essay college level with their male papers we why do write research and contribute more towards the development of their society. Women are also generally considered to be more adept at handling money than men, and through these small initiatives, we might see women taking more important decisions for their families in the long run.
