use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Technologies include videoconferencing, the internet, store-and-forward imaging, streaming media, and terrestrial and wireless communications.
The adoption of telehealth can also increase access to healthcare for people who are underserved due to a shortage of sub-specialty providers. These individuals may live in remote, rural, or population, dense urban centers. On the provider and payer side, the adoption of telehealth can improve productivity, decrease costs, and increase service levels. Despite these benefits, however, interstate licensure issues; the absence of uniformity in legal definitions of telehealth across states; and restrictive Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement have slowed the adoption of telehealth.
Byzantine interstate licensure structure and policies present a significant barrier to the adoption of telehealth. The inability of physicians to provide healthcare across state lines using telehealth technology impedes telehealth's widespread adoption. For example, the District of Columbia and many other jurisdictions require physicians who practice interstate telehealth to hold a full and unrestricted medical license before providing diagnostic, treatment, or consultation to a patient living in their respective jurisdictions. So, if a District resident needs a consultation from a sub-specialist in California because herhealth issues keep her homebound and unable to travel, she cannot receive the consultation unless the sub-specialist is licensed in the District and California: the physical location of the patient and the physical location of the medical practice.
Healthcare industry experts and stakeholders have long lamented the differing definitions of telehealth among states. In a recent press release, Representatives Doris Matsui (D-Calif.) and Bill Johnson (R-Ohio), noted that 50 different definitions and rules for telehealth "leave providers and patients in a state of uncertainty." For example, some jurisdictions require physicians to see and examine patients in person before they can treat them remotely. On the other hand, some jurisdictions require an in-person visit only when medication is prescribed.
Excluding private insurers, the bulk of healthcare costs are paid by Medicaid and Medicare. As a result, restrictive government reimbursement policies also hamper telehealth adoption. While 44 state Medicaid programs reimburse for telehealth services, no two jurisdictions are alike. Accordingly, telehealth reimbursement policies vary dramatically. Medicare reimburses for telehealth services but reimbursement is limited to telehealth services for patients living in a designated rural Health Professional Shortage Area or in a county outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Encouragingly, there are signs that these and other legal and regulatory barriers to telehealth adoption will weaken. One of the biggest harbingers of change arrived in late December from the House Energy and Commerce Committee: the Telehealth Modernization Act of 2013. The Act should, among other items, provide guidance for states in changing their licensing laws; help standardize terminology around telehealth nationally; and promote expansion of telehealth reimbursement among federal programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

Le château de Savigny-sur-Grosne est situé sur la commune de Savigny-sur-Grosne en Saône-et-Loire, au sommet d'une butte dominant la vallée.

Description
Le château a vraisemblablement été bâti au , puis remanié au . Sa structure générale est encore lisible dans les pans de murs et bases de tours qui subsistent : il s'agit d'un grand quadrilatère cantonné de grosses tours rondes. Il semble que l'entrée, précédée d'un fossé, était située au nord, entre deux gros pavillons, de plan presque carré, appuyés à la courtine. Le pavillon situé à l'ouest de cette entrée est percé de grandes fenêtres à meneau et croisillon et flanqué, dans l'angle qu'il forme avec la courtine, d'une petite tour rectangulaire renfermant un escalier à vis auquel on accède par une porte dont le linteau, orné d'un arc trilobé, porte des traces d'un écusson peint. Un escalier à plafond peint, encore cité au début du , semble avoir disparu dans l'effondrement des planchers intérieurs du pavillon.

Des maisons de style mâconnais, avec galerie à l'étage, s'appuient à l'extérieur des courtines ouest et sud.

Le château, propriété privée, ne se visite pas.

Historique
 1560 : l'histoire connue de ce château commence par une reprise de fief par Antoine de Colombier
 1669 : le nom de la maison forte réapparaît lorsque François Michel Le Tellier de Louvois effectue à son tour une reprise de fief, le domaine lui ayant vraisemblablement été apporté par son épouse, Anne de Souvré
 1679 : Magdeleine Charlotte le Tellier de Louvois, sœur du précédent, apporte en dot le domaine à François de La Rochefoucauld
 1725 : Émilie de La Rochefoucauld, fille du précédent, apporte en dot le domaine à Charles-Emmanuel de Crussol, duc d'Uzès
 1755 : la propriété échoit à Charlotte-Émilie de Crussol d'Uzès, fille des précédents
 1758 : celle-ci épouse Louis-Marie-Bretagne de Rohan-Chabot, duc de Rohan
 époque révolutionnaire : cette succession de propriétaires prestigieux, qui ont fait gérer leur terre sans jamais y résider, finit par devenir néfaste au château, laissé à l'abandon
  : la propriété est morcelée entre plusieurs propriétaires qui y aménagent des logements, des granges et des remises

One of the most popular builds in the tiny house movement is this cool and colorful home of 380 sq ft (400 sq ft with the deck space). Designed by Austin-based designer, Kim Lewis, the home is actually two gooseneck trailers joined together.
The home features a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and an outdoor deck. There's even a laundry room and a pretty sizable "closet" in the bedroom, built-in hammocks, and a screened-in porch with copper panels!
Be sure to check out a short video tour of the home below from the home's feature on Tiny House Nation!

We are pleased to announce that we now support album pre-orders with instant gratification download, or "IG" as the record companies call it. This is a feature that has only been offered by iTunes until now. It involves your ability to pre-sell an album 2-4 weeks before its street date (depending on when the record company makes this available), while providing the consumer a track or two as instant gratification reward on the day of purchase. The rest of the album is then made available to the consumer at midnight on street date (from the "My History" page), and an email is sent to the consumer that day to remind them to come get the rest of the album.
Our content partners claim this feature drives nice sale spikes, so we look forward to working with you on deploying such promotions. While "pre-order" capability is likely to become a common practice on digital albums this Holiday season, a "pre-order with IG" involves specific promotions for very specific titles, where the record company goes out of its way to provide you with the IG opportunity, may it involve the single from the album or even some exclusive B-side track or video that other merchants don't have.
Neurotic Media will work with you to bridge between your needs and interest and the record companies, and can help present you with special opportunities on a regular basis from record companies who are interested in promoting such special sale events to your unique demographics.
You can view a live example of pre-orders with IG at http://musicdownloads.borders.com. This feature is available for both Hosted Stores and API stores. API clients will have to code their system to accommodate a few specific changes to the Product Data, which we provide in a separate technical manual for your IT department.
Please work with your Neurotic Media Account Manager on the specifics involved in receiving such promotions from record companies.

Q: VMWare Snapshots Is it a good idea to take snapshots of production servers at regular intervals.  I am reading a lot of website that suggest that you should not take snapshots of production systems, stating that it can effect network and machine performance.  Anybody have any insight on this?
See: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1047809

A: Be aware that snapshots are not a replacement for backups!
I use snapshots only for creating short-term failback points, e.g. before a server is patched with something that might break it. But I won't keep snapshots for longer than several days, and by no means I would create them on a regular basis, just because I can and might need them later.
Please note that most virtualization aware backup software also use snapshots in an automated way to bring a VM to a consistent read-only state before backing it up. But even then the snapshot is deleted again as soon as the backup job has finished.

A: Snapshots are not designed to make regular checkpoint and are not a backup solutions.
You can have several issues by keeping them too much (like out of space, storage slow-down, and in some few cases also corruptions)

A: Generally, disk performance (and size expansion of the VM's storage) is the concern with snapshots, as disk is now split between the flat disk and the snapshot disk (potentially multiple snapshot disks); a simple disk operation when there is no snapshot can significantly balloon, potentially needing to work with data on both the base and (multiple) snapshot disks (which are not contiguous with the base or each other; adding much additional seek time), requiring a lot more IO time than on a flat disk.
Evaluate your disk performance; if it doesn't impact you significantly then snapshot away.

A: Snapshots can be used as a mechanism to keep a rollback point when performing maintenance activities, but should not be used as a mechanism to backup the VM.

A: This is from the best practices.
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1025279
The maximum supported amount of snapshots in a chain is 32. However, VMware recommends that you use only 2-3 snapshots in a chain.
Use no single snapshot for more than 24-72 hours. Snapshots should not be maintained over long periods of time for application or Virtual Machine version control purposes.
This prevents snapshots from growing so large as to cause issues when deleting/committing them to the original virtual machine disks. Take the snapshot, make the changes to the virtual machine, and delete/commit the snapshot as soon as you have verified the proper working state of the virtual machine.
Be especially diligent with snapshot use on high-transaction virtual machines such as email and database servers. These snapshots can very quickly grow in size, filling datastore space. Commit snapshots on these virtual machines as soon as you have verified the proper working state of the process you are testing.
An excessive number of delta files in a chain (caused by an excessive number of snapshots) or large delta files may cause decreased virtual machine and host performance.

A: I LOVE VMWare Snapshots! This is such an awesome feature for DEV and QA servers.
On a production machine, the most common problem I hear from IT staff is the disk space they take up. Planning ahead can mitigate this but there are always going to be finite limits in a production environment. In other words, you can only take as many snapshots as your disks will hold.
Most of the time, my customers take snapshots only when they need a full backup of the guest OS environment. So, for instance, we wil take a snapshot before installing a major application update. We probably will not take a snapshot if the VM is running a database server, and instead just back up the databases in use inside.
Like Shane above, I'd say the performance hit is less important, especially if the server's CPU isn't usually pegged out and you can schedule the snapshots to be taken during off-peak times. YMMV.

A: Something I don't see mentioned here are VM stuns.  If you have a very busy production server your snaps will grown quickly.  If you have the snap open for any length of time the ballooning mentioned above has greater potential to occur.  When you go to close that snapshot out there is potential for an interruption of services with the stun.
When I have to take a snapshot of a production machine it is generally when a developer is updating some software on the server, after its been tested in the development environment.  The snap would be done in off peak hours and closed out generally in that same maintenance window after a successful upgrade.

A: Network performance can be degrated during the snapshot process. But in my opinion a little bit of a perofrmance hit is better than losing data. Depending on how critical the data is I would maybe do one during the night. Unless your data is that critical that you must do Hourly etc.
Only you can decied how much data you can lose should you need to restore.
If you can live with a snapshot 24 hours old stick with it. But if you need your data no less than an hour old from a restore do that.
We run snapshots hourly for our main database server as this changes hourly. But our Exchange Server is snapshotted every 12 hours.

A: Small to medium servers with low I/O, then yes, fine.  As mentioned above, domain controllers, no no NO!  Also depends on whether you're asking for a quiesced snapshot.  With an active DB server, for example, the memory/disk I/O run-down can a) timeout and b) cause interruption.  I've seen Oracle TNS being interrupted before.  Granted, the transaction recovered, but still not ideal.

A: You have three choices. First one and the easiest one is to take snapshots, however, this is not considered an official back of your VMs. It is good for lab environments but not production VMs.
Your second option is to use Vmware data recovery (VDR). This tool is great for small-to-medium sized business. This is a lot better than snapshots but it has some limitations, like you can backup 8 VMs simultaneously. Not bad but if you have hundreds of VMs, this is not suitable.
The most professional solutions is the one who uses VMWare's vStorage API. Solutions like Tivoli storage manager (TSM), it extends VMWare's vStorage API to provide a solution to VM backups. There are others out there. The price goes up with the usage of course but it all depends on what you want to do. I would either use VDR or get some solution provider that uses vStorage API to do my backups and restores. Do your research and good luck :)

Cardano: COVID-19 Isn't Going to Stop Shelley
| Published March 16, 2020
By Adrian Barkley
Charles Hoskinson has recently taken to social media to calm down enthusiasts in regards to the progress of the mainnet launch for Shelley.
He said that the timeline for all the launch dates has not been affected due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The CEO of IOHK and the co-founder of Cardano, Charles Hoskinson has recently taken to social media to calm down enthusiasts on the platform in regards to the progress of the mainnet launch for Shelley. He said that the timeline for all the launch dates has not been affected due to the coronavirus outbreak affecting the majority of the world.
The pandemic has been a massive plight on the globe. Many predict that a major recession is just around the corner as a result of the outbreak. Companies have already seen massive losses due to the coronavirus. The stock markets have seen major losses too. Taking to Twitter to calm the nerves of many investors, Hoskinson said the following, "Shelley has not been delayed due to corona. We are on our internal schedule."
The CEOs tweet on the matter was prompted by another tweet. The post initially indicated that due to the coronavirus, Cardano were going to be postponing their Shelley mainnet launch. As a result, the co-founder responded calling it 'fake news' however, the post has since been deleted.
Despite this, the CEO said that the coronavirus isn't a problem for the protocol nor the ADA Price. However, he didn't give a specific launch date for the new mainnet.
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out. For more news on this and other crypto updates, keep it with CryptoDaily!

Q: IE 9, infinity reload the page I stuck with one bug. And Have no idea WTF is it. I use Meteor + Blaze + IronRouter on my project.

*

*blaze-html-templates@1.0.4

*iron:router@1.1.1

*METEOR@1.4.2.3

Everything works "FINE" on most of browsers. Of course I blocked the web site for IE 8 (I show the message then user should update the browser) and want to do the same for 9-th. But that POS reloads browser infinitely and there is no chance to show the message about updating. Who has the same problem with IE 9? Or maybe some ideas how to fix it?


Integrated amplifier Cambridge Audio CXA 60 made in a metal case with aluminum front panel of considerable thickness. In its center is the control unit and display unit, and the handle on the right is designed to perform several functions. In addition to the large arm adjust the volume on the basis of the variable resistor Alps there are also miniature regulators stereoballs and the sound tone in the low and high frequencies. From the opposite side of the front panel has headphone Jack and auxiliary input for portable sources on the connector mini-jack. The amplifier comes with a remote control.
The amplifier has a massive toroidal transformer audiophile-grade speaker that is mounted in the center anti-resonant chassis. The device operates in class A/B, which implies a significant heating of its output stages. For the most efficient cooling they are mounted on massive heat sinks, which are separate for left and right channels. Cambridge Audio CXA 60 has an output of 2 x 60 W at a load resistance of 8 Ohms, and 2 x 90 watts when you connect 4-Ohm speakers, which indicates a high output current of the device. Thus, the apparatus can cope with the use of speakers with a complex characteristic impedance. The whole amplifier circuit is made symmetrical for better separation of stereo channels and minimize crosstalk.
Cambridge Audio CXA 60 includes inputs for five line sources (four input RCA jacks on the rear panel and one on the connector 3.5 mm mini-jack on the front), as well as optical and coaxial inputs. Built-in amplifier DAC based on Wolfson WM8740 chip, and is capable of receiving a signal with parameters up to 24 bit / 192 kHz. In addition, the device has a USB connector to which you can connect a Bluetooth receiver BT100 (sold separately), with support of the aptX enhanced audio codec. With reliable screw terminals to the amplifier, you can connect two pairs of speakers, which are selected using the buttons on the front panel. CXA 60 also has an output of preamplifier, and a connector for connecting an active subwoofer.


 If After Installing Ntfs-3g, Boot Camp Volume Stopped Showing Up In The Startup Disk Preference Pane. Is Reinstalling Mac OS X, Boot Camp, And Windows The Only Recourse?
If after installing ntfs-3g, Boot Camp volume stopped showing up in the Startup Disk preference pane. Is reinstalling Mac OS X, Boot Camp, and Windows the only recourse?
Startup Disk preference pane is simply filtering out (that is, not displaying) any mounted volumes that it doesn't consider bootable. Its definition of a Boot Camp volume includes that the mounted volume either be of type msdos or ntfs--this is hard-coded into the preference pane plugin. This doesn't mean your Boot Camp volume has become unbootable. It's merely not showing up in the GUI. You can hold the opt key during startup and choose the Windows partition to boot from. You can also remount it (read-only) using the NTFS file system built into Mac OS X and it should start showing up in Startup Disk.
Can you please explain the difference between Windows and Mac OS X? What you do suppose if DSL/PPPoE software does not work with Macintosh computers?

Such a tool for cutting metal is divided into three types. The differences between the two are mainly in the way they work.
Cutting. These scissors are used to cut welded materials (pipes, ventilation elements) or to
Nibblers. the best option for cutting metal tiles
profiled materials (corrugated board, metal tiles). Each stroke of the scissors cuts out a small part of the material. this is the peculiarity of the tool's operation.
Scissors with knives. This species is able to cut metal tiles by using two knives with one blade. One remains in place, and the second moves and cuts the sheet of metal laid between them. Using this type of scissors does not generate waste.
Shingle shears. The third type can be used for cutting various metals. both ferrous and non-ferrous. Even if the blade is coated, this tool will still cut it quickly. Slotted scissors have a cutting head, which produces precise and accurate cuts without skewing the sheet. They are often used for shaped cutting of tiles. Chips of the material are poured onto the working surface and are very easily removed without getting into the inside of the tool.
In the process of construction work, there is often a need for cutting metal tiles. Installers have their own vision on this matter, and not always the majority of opinions turn out to be correct.
Metal tile is a material for roofing installation made of galvanized metal with a special coating. Due to the nature of the canvases, standard cutting will not always be appropriate. Regular cutting can significantly damage the material. Therefore, how and what to cut metal tiles, you can find out in this article.
Manufacturers of metal tiles usually indicate recommendations for the use of a particular tool for cutting it.
The following tools are most commonly used for slicing:
electric jigsaw;
scissors for metal;
hand saw for cutting metal;
circular saw with carbide teeth;
electric scissors for metal.
Before choosing a tool for cutting tiles from the proposed list, you need to determine how much volume you want to cut. If the sheets are large, a nibbler, circular saw, or electric jigsaw will work. If you need to cut small pieces, a hacksaw or scissors will help.
When using a saw, a serrated disc should be installed because an abrasive disc will not work. The circular saw is powerful and easy to use, and is suitable for various material sizes. The only caveat regarding the saw: cutting must be done on a solid surface. Therefore, work on the ground, if you need to adjust the material, will not work.
The jigsaw is considered an affordable and simple tool. It is also well suited for cutting metal tiles. When planning your cutting work, stock up on a large number of files. They should have fine teeth.
Of course, a jigsaw will not surpass a circular saw in terms of speed, however, it can just be used to adjust the material in place. For all its advantages, the jigsaw has one big drawback: in the process, you will need to use a lot of files. Therefore, if you are ready for such a situation, feel free to choose a jigsaw for cutting.
Experts can give preference to one or another tool based on their own considerations and the work that is being done, trying to spoil the material as little as possible.
Many people do not know if it is possible to cut metal tiles with an angle grinder. Some professionals prefer to use this particular tool for the job. Fitters use an abrasive disc to easily cut large sheets into smaller pieces. At first glance, the process seems simple and affordable, however, it also has a significant disadvantage.
Metal tile manufacturers unanimously repeat: cutting the material with an angle grinder is strictly prohibited. There are a lot of suitable tools for these works, with the use of which there should be no problems.
Special nozzle for cutting metal tiles
The use of metal tiles begins with cutting. This requires a horizontal, firm and secure surface. We take several bars of the same height and place them under the sheet. Next, a cutting edge is drawn on the material with a marker or pencil. The canvas should be cut carefully. To do this, you need to hold the sheet with a board, pressing it to the surface. Cut by moving your hand with the bar as you cut the tiles, pushing them down. The work ends with cleaning: shavings off the sheet. Cut points of finished elements must be treated with special enamel to avoid corrosion.
As the most expedient tool for cutting metal tiles of various thicknesses, the "Cricket" drill bit is taken. The prepared tool is able to cut sheets straight and diagonally. To make it easier to work, you can define and set the appropriate angle of the drill. The "Cricket" for cutting is most suitable for dividing steel sheets with a thickness of 0.9 mm. Using a nozzle for cutting metal tiles in all respects will cost you less.
Electric nibblers work on the same principle. The tool has a rod that, when rotated, cuts the material with its side face. These tools have advantages over others due to the ability to cut the most complex shapes from metal sheets.
The considered tools are an excellent solution for cutting metal sheets. By comparing the main features and capabilities, you can make the choice that will best meet the requirements.
Scissors are used for both manual and machine cutting of metals. The angle of sharpening p at scissors ranges from 65 to 85 ° depending on the hardness of the metal being cut: for soft metals (copper, etc.) it is 65 °, for metals of medium hardness 70-75 °, for hard metals 80-85 °. To reduce the friction of the scissors knives when working on the blades, a clearance angle a equal to 1.5-3 ° is created. Scissors knives are made of U7 carbon steel; their cutting part is hardened.
Cutting with hand scissors. Manual metal shears are shown in fig. 1. The most common sizes of scissors are 250-320 mm (along the total length of the scissors).
The hand scissors are divided into right and left. On the right shears, the bevel on the cutting part of each half is on the right side, and on the left, on the left side. When cutting the sheet with the right scissors, the risk on the cut metal is always visible. When working with left scissors, in order to see the risk, you have to bend the cut metal with your left hand, shifting it over your right hand, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, cutting the sheet metal in a straight line and in a curve (circle and rounding) without sharp turns is carried out with the right scissors.
Manual scissors can cut sheet steel up to 0.7 mm thick, roofing iron up to 1 mm thick, copper and brass sheets up to 1.5 mm thick.
When cutting metal, the scissors do not open completely, but only enough so that they can grab the sheet. When fully opened, the scissors do not cut, but eject the sheet. When cutting round discs with scissors, the discs are turned counterclockwise, while the scissors should not cover the cut line of the cut.
Cutting with chair scissors. One of the halves of these scissors has a handle with a pointed end bent downward; with this end, the scissors are fixed in a wooden bar. The second half. with a straight handle. serves for hand operation.
The chair scissors are stable when cutting and give a lot of freedom to the hands of the worker. They cut sheets with a thickness of 2-3 mm.
Cutting with lever scissors. In fig. 3 shows lever hand-held shears, designed for cutting sheet metal, thin bars and shaped material, and lever hand-held shears, used for straight cuts of sheet metal up to 2 mm thick (for steel) into strips. One knife is installed on the table of the swing scissors, on the lever itself, the second. A balance weight is placed at the end of the arm.
READ How To Cut Flat Slate
The sheet metal is cut by one person using the fly shears. The sheet is laid on the table so that the cutting line (when cutting with markings) coincides with the blade of the lower knife. Pressing the sheet with the upper bar, the lever with the upper knife is lowered with a strong movement. Then the lever is "squeezed" until the required part of the sheet is cut.
When cutting without marking, the width of the strips is adjusted with a movable guide ruler.
Cutting with parallel scissors. These shears, sometimes called guillotine shears, are used to cut sheet metal (for steel) up to 4 mm thick or more. In parallel guides of the scissors, a slider with an upper knife obliquely attached to it walks up and down; the lower knife is fixed motionlessly in the bed. Raising and lowering the top-
its knives are carried out by a crank mechanism, which receives movement from the working shaft, which is driven into rotation by an electric motor through a transmission from a drive pulley.
Cutting with circular (round) scissors. In fig. 5 shows circular (circular) shears used for cutting sheet metal with an unlimited cutting length, as well as for curved cutting. The cutting tool is disc knives, located one above the other and rotating in different directions when working. To cut straight strips, the knives-discs are placed in parallel; for cutting curved shapes (circles, holes), knives and their axes are positioned at an angle to each other. You do not need to feed the sheet into disks; rotating discs themselves tighten the sheet,

A story about the history of scissors.
2 Basic rules for working with scissors and features of their choice.
Exercise demonstration for teaching children to work with scissors.
A little about the history of scissors.
Do you know anything about the history of scissors? I'll tell you. Previously, when it was required to cut something, they used a knife. But about three and a half thousand years ago in the 4th century BC. e. one master connected the handles of two knives with a bridge. This is how the first scissors appeared (slide 3). Ancient scissorswere not at all like modern: they had two blades connected by a curved flexible plate, which was not very convenient. And more than a thousand years ago, another master came up with the idea of replacing the bridge with a carnation. This is how a wonderful instrument was born (slide 4). The first scissors are said to have appeared in Italy.And already in the Arab countries, they acquired a modern form.: Retractable blades with ring handles (slide 5).
This is how scissors were used in ancient times (slide 6).Most often they were used by barbers.
Scissors are used everywhere: in the workshop, in the garage, in the hospital, in the hairdresser, in the garment factory and of course in school and kindergarten. Nowadays there is a wide variety of scissors. household, tailor, garden, manicure, medical, hairdressing, sheep and many others, without which a person cannot do.
We all work in accordance with the educational program, which was built on the basis of the Federal State Educational Standard, let's remember from what age you can entrust a child to cut with scissors?
That's right, we start cutting with scissors from the middle group. after four years. In the applique class in the middle group, children get to know scissors for the first time. Let's remember which educational area the application belongs to. (artistic and aesthetic development).
But before you start cutting you need to choose scissors.
Choosing scissors for a child.
How do you think how to choose the right scissors? Safety and convenience should be the main criteria. Small and almost toy scissors with animal handles for learning to cut will not work. It should be the most real scissors: medium size with rounded ends. It is good if the handles of the scissors are rubber. they are softer and do not slip. And, of course, the rings at the handles of the scissors should fit the size of the baby. It is better if one ring is round (for the thumb, but the other is elongated (for index and middle finger). So it will be easier for the child, otherwise the fingers will scatter in all directions. Scissors for children need to choose not very large. Their blades should be straight, about 10-20 cm long, well sharpened, rounded ends. Scissors don't have to be tight.
We have chosen the right scissors, but before we start cutting, let's remember the basic rules for working with scissors, name them.
There are rules for working with scissors: (slide 7).
The scissors should be closed on the table.
They should be passed in rings forward, holding the closed blades.
When cutting paper along a straight mowing line, the scissors are not spread wide, and the ends are not brought together.
When making cuts, you must use the tips of the scissors.
When cutting the sheet with scissors from the table, do not pull it off strongly.
When working with scissors, turn paper or other material, but not the tool.
Small details are not cut out of a large sheet of paper. it is not comfortable. It is better to cut a piece of the required format.
A cut in the shape of an acute angle is made in two steps.
If you make a cut along the fold mowing line, then pre-unfold the paper.
Round parts are cut counterclockwise.
First steps to being able to cut with scissors.
Once you have made a conscious decision to give your child scissors, you need to immediately explain to him that scissors are not a toy. You need to use them only for their intended purpose and only at the table.
It would seem that these steps are quite simple. One. they opened the scissors, two. closed them. Simple and clear.
But for a kid, this is the most difficult, tedious and not interesting. After all, scissors do not just need to be opened and closed, they need to be held correctly. And not skillful children's fingers so do not want to obey. It didn't work once, it didn't work twice, and the baby gets bored. But if you do not teach the baby to hold the scissors correctly, open and close them without changing the position of the hand, then he will not be able to cut anything. Therefore, it is important to teach your child to hold the scissors correctly. Let's take the scissors with you.We put our thumb into the round ring of the scissors, and put the index and middle fingers into the oval ring of the scissors, so (slide 8).
It's time to start trying to cut paper and do some exercises. The first exercise is called "Tickets". In front of you is a strip from which we will cut tickets. Pay attention to the screen (slide 9). Well done, they coped with the task. What do you think this exercise is for children of what age? You can try this exercise with children of the middle group.
We have learned how to cut stripes, now you can try to cut along the contours. The next exercise is called "Steps".To begin with, choose simple outlines with clear lines. For example, geometric shapes. First, a square, and from a square we will make steps, pay attention to the screen (slide 10).You can do this exercise with older children.
Then you can try cutting out more complex shapes. And the last exercise is called "Balls". We will now try to cut a ball out of the square. (slide 11).You can use this exercise with your kindergarten children. Well done, you did a great job.
Now let's remember what we talked about today and what we learned. (slide 12).
So what is the educational area of work with scissors??
How to choose the right scissors?
What are the basic rules for working with scissors?
What exercises did we use to consolidate the skills of using scissors??

Paul Kuhn Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Calgary artist, Jesse Stilwell. This is the artists' inaugural exhibit with the gallery. Stilwell's meticulously prepared and finely crafted paintings fall into the genre of Op Art, in so far as, he investigates the optical and emotional possibilities of colours and shapes. The artist uses elementary structures and formulas to create visual experiences that engage the viewer, often triggering sensations of vibration and movement. In Stilwell's chromatic paintings, colour is an active component, creating an event rather than an appearance.
The artist will attend the opening.

They targeted those (voters) who were prone to conspiracy theories and impulsive anger.
Remember Cambridge Analytica and their psyops campaign for trump?
snipped:
"We also pulled Facebook profiles, looking for patterns in order to build a neural-network algorithm that would help us make predictions. Cambridge Analytica would target those who were more prone to impulsive anger or conspiratorial thinking than average citizens, introducing narratives via Facebook groups, ads, or articles that the firm knew from internal testing were likely to inflame the very narrow segments of people with these traits. CA wanted to provoke people, to get them to engage."

"We know what happened in the United States. You (Ukraine Pres. Zelensky) have nowhere left to go."
Russians Praise Trump, Taunt Zelensky, as Ukraine Signs On to Peace-Plan Proposal
https://www.thedailybeast.com/russians-praise-trump-taunt-zelensky-as-ukraine-signs-on-to-steinmeier-formula-peace-plan-proposal?source=twitter&via=desktop
"Trump let Zelensky down. Three times he told him: 'Go meet with Putin,'" gloated one prominent Russian TV host. "After his 'triumphant' meeting with the American president, Zelensky had no choice but to lie back and enjoy it… We know what happened in the United States. You have nowhere left to go."
Existential dread washed over the face of the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, as he sat next to the American president during their joint press conference on the sidelines of the UN. Donald Trump, as the face of Ukraine's most powerful ally in its struggle against Russian aggression, was telling him: "I really hope you and President Putin get together and can solve your problem."
Appearing on Russia's state television program 60 Minutes, Oleg Nilov, member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, asserted that Ukraine was "forced to sign" the Steinmeier Formula—and proceeded to threaten the country with "the Israeli formula" of taking all the land Russia wants, if Kyiv reneges on the deal.

Wait for it...trump will ask for Russian sanctions to be dropped, Putin's master plan achieved.
Now that Ukraine has capitulated to Russia, trump will ask that sanctions imposed on Russia for it's invasion of Ukraine be removed.
Receiving aid from the U.S. has always been a matter of life or death for Ukraine in its war with Russia. trump severely weakened their hand with his extortion sending a clear signal that Ukraine can't count on us in deterring Russian aggression.
So the Russian asset occupying our White House and Putin will most likely achieve untold success in their conspiracy to weaken the U.S., create dissension and chaos in our Democracy, and relieve many sanctions on Russia (for Putin and his oligarchs).

Pompeo Pushed Out His Own Ukraine Rep to Squash a Growing Scandal
Giuliani waved his phone on air, flashing text messages between himself and State Department representatives, saying it was the department that connected him to a close adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Giuliani's on-air appearances threw the department into a tizzy, forcing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to try to quell a bubbling internal crisis of confidence, according to three senior U.S. officials. For Pompeo, to solve the problem meant to find someone to blame, and there was only one individual who fit the mold, according to those same sources: former U.S. representative for Ukraine negotiations Kurt Volker.
In response, Pompeo tried a time-tested Trump White House strategy: stonewalling Congress. The secretary said Tuesday that Congress was "bullying" career officials and suggested they would not appear for questioning. (The State Department's inspector general is currently investigating members of Pompeo's department for pushing career officials out of their posts for perceived political bias.)
Pompeo's plan appears to have backfired. Despite the secretary's efforts to block several of his current and former officials from speaking to Congress, Volker is set to go to Capitol Hill on Thursday with the backing of a cadre of current and former diplomats. Some of those diplomats spoke to The Daily Beast and requested anonymity because they feared reprisals from Pompeo and other Trump administration officials.
Now the department is bracing for impact. Current and former State Department officials who spoke to The Daily Beast, some of who are close Volker, said he was forced out of his post. Volker's interview with Congress could lay bare details of Pompeo's involvement in the Trump-Giuliani Ukraine saga.

"Disaster for Ukraine"
Michael MacKay
@mhmck
Disaster for Ukraine. President Zelenskyy has agreed to the 'Steinmeier Formula' which which will see Ukrainian defenders withdraw from the battlefront in Donbas and Russian invaders allowed to remain.
Zelenskyy refused to say why Ukraine is surrendering.
FGS, I can't believe it!

Come bassista è conosciuto per la sua partecipazione alla prima ondata di punk rock italiano con gli A.C.T.H. ed in seguito con il gruppo rock italiano Rats dal 1989 al 1997.

Biografia
Autodidatta, nasce come bassista seguendo l'impeto dell'esplosione Punk rock di fine anni '70.

Forma attorno al 1980 la sua prima band, rispondendo ad un annuncio appeso su una bacheca di un negozio di dischi della propria città. La band in seguito prese nome di A.C.T.H., autori di un Punk Rock melodico, con i quali registra un demo tape autoprodotto dal titolo emblematico "L'Italia s'è Desta(?)" un LP uscito per la Bolognese Multimedia Attack, Totò alle prese coi dischi, dal titolo:"Ultimo Party" e un 45 Giri, sempre uscito per l'etichetta bolognese.

Tra maggio e giugno 1989, lascia la band per unirsi ai Rats.

Laureato in Architettura dal 1998, dopo lo scioglimento della band si è trasferito a Miami dove vive e lavora, avendo aperto uno studio di design, la Bassline Design Inc. che si occupa principalmente di interiors e industrial design.

Il 24 ottobre 2007, si è riunito con Wilko Zanni e Lor Lunati dopo 10 anni per una prima prova, prendendo parte quindi al progetto Rats2008.

Il 7 novembre 2008 al VOX club di Nonantola (MO) è stata la serata ufficiale che ha sancito la riunione ufficiale dei Rats.

Rachael Ray's All-in-one Tote with Lunch Boat Tote and Wristlet is a fab fave here at FabFood. It will make even the most boring leftovers taste gourmet.
Brown-bagging it seems so, well, childish! This super-stylish tote set is the best way for busy professionals on-the-go to carry their lunch to work. It has a hidden pull-out liner and shoulder straps, high-density thermal insulation, a Therma-Flect radiant barrier and a leak proof, antimicrobial lining. It's the perfect tote to carry all your workday essentials, including your warm or cold lunch (which it will keep warm or cold until you're ready to eat).
The expandable top makes it great for those days when you have a few extra items with you. Best of all, it can double as an eco-friendly shopping bag. But you don't have to stop there. The tote can also be used as an airplane carry-on, a coordinated book and lunch bag for school, a maternity go-bag to grab on your way out the door when the big moment comes and more.
The full set comes with the tote bag, lunch bag and wristlet. Buy them together or separately in a variety of colors on Ebay.

New group against tests
Academics who oppose animal research at Oxford University have launched the Voice for Ethical Research at Oxford, a group to campaign against vivisection.
The group was set up to oppose animal experiments in general and the university's animal research centre in particular by former and present Oxford staff and students. Its founders include Sharon Howe, an Oxford graduate who this year returned her MA in protest at the new animal research centre.
Vero hopes to counter the success of pro-animal research group, Pro-Test, set up by teenager Laurie Pycroft last February.

Earth Works 2008
EARTH WORKS: Archiving the Present
Drawings by Carl Jeppe
Absa Gallery Johannesburg
Carl Jeppe has been drawing for as long as he can remember. Growing up in a creative family allowed for a great deal of artistic freedom and encouragement. His mother Barbara was a celebrated botanical artist, writing and illustrating numerous books on the flora of South Africa. Carl's father was a psychiatrist who was passionate about everything from archaeology to astronomy to geology and oceanography. Carl's present family shares both this love of nature and of the Arts: he met his wife Lynn at art school and their children, Carl and Jessica, a motion design director and a film editor respectively are extremely creative.
It seems natural that Carl should find his way to Art school in Pretoria and after a period working as a prop-maker at P.A.C.T. he started teaching. As a lecturer in drawing and painting at Tshwane University of Technology, where he has been teaching for 30 years, (26 of them full time) one is thrown into the tank with a new crop of students every year. Some of them are exceptionally talented; others not. Some are diligent; others not. Some are incredibly creative; others must be shown every step of the way! But they are ALL wonderful! It is a huge privilege, to be involved so intensely with these amazing people and to be able to take part in helping their lives take shape!
Carl has wandered through several Genres of art: from figure drawing and painting to portraiture, both drawing and painting, and landscapes, both drawing and painting. The works that are going to be shown at the ABSA Gallery in November are all drawings, most of them large, and they are all based on an involvement with landscape. Not, however in the usual terms of a "picturesque" scene of a bend in the river, or a dramatic sunset, but rather of the little things: things that we walk past every day: the scuffmarks and scratches, those footprints that mankind inflicts upon the surface of the planet. There are questions asked about scale: is that an enormous canyon or is it a crevice in the surface of a small stone? These questions deal in a way with mankind's impact on his surroundings and on the planet as a whole. We can't avoid making footprints, so we should at least pay attention to them.
There is a series of drawings of "Stumps". These stumps are all that is left of a warehouse in Mitchell Street, Pretoria West. They seem to symbolize some grand structure that was the pride of its owners. Since the fire devastated the building, it takes on the appearance of a ghost-town. We can only speculate as to what happened, and sooner or later there will be another structure built to take its place.
Carl is intrigued by the history of things: both the long-term history of say, erosion, and the short-term history of a tyre track in the sand. There is a series of drawings depicting an "X", as in "X marks the spot". The X is a familiar mark: some sign their name with it; some make a mark on a ballot paper. The X could signify a crossroad, a meeting place; a place of danger, despair, or simply a destination.
Another series featuring graves are drawings of actual graves discovered along a back road in Mpumalanga. These graves are varied in their scale and their intentions: some are elegant structures with careful and painstaking details, while others are mere piles of stones. Whether they are grand or simple doesn't take away from the fact that here lie the remains of somebody's loved one: somebody's ancestor and that we should equally respect all mankind, Lord of the Manor, or lowly servant; alive or dead.
What Carl hopes to achieve through this exhibition is to throw some light upon the idea that we should all take note of our surroundings and if we are to contribute at all, then do so positively, rather than negatively. Notice the beauty in that river, that hillside, that person, building, street or park, and help steer society towards a place of dignity, and peace.


Mattel Catalogs were created for toy store owners to use as reference for ordering new merchandise. Mattel went all out on these catalogs, sometimes embellishing them with pull-out posters or pop-up characters. The most desirable catalogs are those issued in very limited numbers at the annual Toy Fair. These Toy Fair editions often had mis-prints or showcased items that were pulled from final production.
The first appearance of Major Matt Mason was in this special preview catalog for the 1967 Toy Fair. The entire catalog was re-worked for the Fall Release... the most noticable difference is the missing "Space Rover" from both the front and back covers. This vehicle was removed and the "sky" was lightened (changed to bright blue) for better contrast and more color.
The more common version of the 1967 catalog, released in the fall, had a blue sky and changes to several item's descriptions. To say that this catalog is common is really a misnomer, as this is the key catalog to have and fairly scarce as Mattel Catalogs go.
A recap of the 1968 Fall Catalog, this spring issue introduces Liddle Kiddles and the MMM Space Exploration Game.
Most Mattel collectors don't realize that the 1968 Catalog also had a Toy Fair version. In this initial offering, the catalog was printed with a white background. This was changed to blue for the normal fall version. So I believe that this catalog is the actual first appearance of Hot Wheels and much more significant.
The common version of this catalog with a blue contrast background behind the Hot Wheels track on the cover. The games have beem moved to a single page from the original two page spread.
These catalogs are extremely rare... given to toy distributors and sales people to aid them with product information. Each item includes "Things to say and do:" to entice store owners to buy!
This is the first German Mattel catalog to feature Major Matt Mason, with a rehash of the cover of the 1967 Mattel Fall catalog.
Mattel introduces Cosmic Kiddles, along with many MMM accessories in this catalog. Also, new astronauts Doug Davis, Jeff Long and the alien Callisto are added.
A continuation of the Spring Catalog, the "fall" catalog has some interesting group shots and mock-ups of packaging.
One of my favorite catalogs, the 69 Quick Ref Guide has some wonderful store mock-up pics on the back cover. I've referenced these from the Playsets Index as well. Well worth the time to take a look-see.
Utilizing the cover of the US 1968 Catalog, Mattel continues in the German marketplaces, offering their usual fare, and in particular Major Matt Mason!
Utilizing the cover of the US 1968 Catalog, Mattel continues in the Italian marketplaces, offering their usual fare, and of course, Major Matt Mason!
Mattel introduces the Chip Box accessores, along with Scorpio and the Super Powers Set.
Here we get our first images of Or, the Orbitor and other playsets.
Interesting catalog with a plastic, spiral binding.

Some polders also have a winter peil as a precaution against the increased fall of water in that season.
In time of drought the water in the canals and boezems is allowed to run back into the polders, and so serve a double purpose as water-reservoirs.
As late as the 12th and 13th centuries each of these islands consisted of several smaller islands, many of whose names are still preserved in the fertile polders which have taken their place.
The four polders with their areas of fertile soil would be: (I) North-west polder, area 53,599 acres; fertile soil, 46,189 acres.
Nearly all the polders of Zeeland and South Holland are able to discharge naturally into the sea at average low water, self-regulating sluices being used.
The area south of this would be divided into four polders, with reservation, however, of a lake, Yselmeer, in the centre, whence branches would run to Ysel and the Zwolsche Diep, to Amsterdam, and, by sluices near Wieringen, to the northern part of the sea.
The final removal of polder water, however, is only truly effected upon its discharge into the " outer waters " of the country, that is, the sea itself or the large rivers freely communicating with it; and this happens with but a small proportion of Dutch polders, such as those of Zeeland, the Holland Ysel and the Noorderkwartier.
Boezems, like polders, have a standard water-level which may not be exceeded, and as in the polder this level may vary in the different parts of an extended boezem.
The whole of the lakes to the north of the former Y, including the famous Purmer and Beemster lakes, and the Wieringerwaard and Zype sea-polders, were drained in the beginning of the 17th century; but the Waard-en-Groet, the Anna Paulowna and the Koegras sea-polders to the north of these, were only added to the mainland in the first half of the 19th century.
The summer water-level of the pasture polders south of the former Y is about 4 to 8 ft.
Below the level of the polder, and in agricultural polders 21 to 31 ft.
Polders shown in the table.

Portland Community College, in partnership with Biomat USA and Portland State University, have announced a new scholarship program for underserved human students. The [Blood] Transfers Finish Free program is reserved for students earning less than 80% of the federal poverty level who are transferring from PCC to PSU with at least one and half years of credits towards earning a four year degree.
Proponents of the Transfers Finish Free Program offer praise for giving young, healthy and iron-rich students a way to leverage the few natural assets they may possess. Medical professionals from the Hippocratic school of the Four Humours assure the public that, when done correctly, regular emissions of platelets and plasma are perfectly "possible" for the human body to endure.


Parashat Vayeshev introduces the Joseph saga. Joseph infuriates his brothers with his arrogance and Israel (formerly Jacob) doesn't help much by favoring him. One day, "They saw him from afar and before he came close to them, vayitnaklu oto l'hamito, they conspired to kill him." (Gen. 37:18) Reuven (the first-born) convinces them not to kill him, so instead they throw Joseph into a pit (Genesis 37:24). Later, they sell him to a caravan of Ishmaelites, who take him down to Egypt.
Joseph's brothers are annoyed; they feel their rights are threatened. They turn Joseph, their brother, into an "other." Their resentment and jealousy isolate him, magnifying his differences and obscuring his similarities. The brothers' fearfully imagined future overshadows a relatively typical present (have their ever been brothers without some strife?). They use their emotional discomfort as a psychological shield and cover as they resort to violence to solve their problem.
Nechama Leibowitz (1905-1997; a renowned scholar and teacher) promotes looking at the week through the lens of the weekly parasha, or portion. S'forno seems to be reading Vayeishev through the lens of today's newspaper headlines (Powerful Men Behave Badly) and reminds us: every generation reads into the Torah's ancient stories tales of today's world.
Rabbi Sacks words are really bringing it home for me – looking back at my life and start seeing cause and effect relationships that moved my life into the road I am walking now.
