Shalya Parva describes Duryodhana appointing Shalya as his fourth commander-in-chief in the 18-day war. Shalya dies on the battlefield the same day.
The Shalya Parva (Sanskrit: शल्य पर्व), or the Book of Shalya, is the ninth of eighteen books of the Indian epic Mahabharata. Shalya Parva traditionally has 4 sub-books and 65 chapters.[1][2] The critical edition of Shalya Parva has 4 sub-books and 64 chapters.[3][4]
Shalya Parva describes the appointment of Shalya as the fourth commander-in-chief of the Kaurava alliance, on the 18th day of the Kurukshetra War.[2] The parva recites Salya's death, how Duryodhana becomes mortally wounded and out of the entire Kaurava army, only 3 survive. Shalya parva also describes how Pandavas and Krishna are victorious in the war, but lament the enormous toll of the 18-day war on human lives on both sides. The book mentions the anger and hatred among survivors on the Kauravas side, particularly Duryodhana, Aswatthama, Kritavarman and Kripa.[5]
Structure and chapters
This Parva (book) traditionally has 4 sub-parvas (sub-books or little books) and 65 adhyayas (sections, chapters).[1][6] The following are the sub-parvas:[7]
1. Shalya-vadha Parva (Chapters: 1–22)
2. Shalya Parva (Chapters: 23–27)
3. Hrada-praveca Parva (Chapters: 28–29)
4. Gadayuddha Parva (Chapters: 30–65)
After three commander-in-chiefs of Kauravas army slain, Shalya is appointed the leader. He too is killed, as is Shakuni. Millions more soldiers die on the last day of war. Duryodhana in anguish leaves the battlefield, and goes to a lake. Bhima meets him there, challenges him to a battle. Bhima mortally wounds Duryodhana by crushing his thighs and later, Duryodhana dies.
Out of 11 Akshauhinis of the Kauravas, only survivors are mortally injured Duryodhana along with Aswatthama, Kritavarman and Kripa.[8] From Pandavas army, all five brothers, Krishna, 2000 chariots, 700 elephants, 5,000 horsemen and 10,000 foot soldiers survive. Shalya parva describes the war as over with a heavy toll on human lives, Pandavas are victorious, yet a desire for revenge is brewing in Duryodhana, Aswatthama, Kritavarman and Kripa.[2]
Shalya Parva was composed in Sanskrit. Several translations of the book in English are available. Two translations from 19th century, now in public domain, are those by Kisari Mohan Ganguli[1] and Manmatha Nath Dutt.[2] The translations vary with each translator's interpretations.
Clay Sanskrit Library has published a 15 volume set of the Mahabharata which includes Shalya Parva. This translation is modern, by multiple authors and uses an old manuscript of the epic. The translation does not remove verses and chapters now widely believed to be spurious and smuggled into the epic in 1st or 2nd millennium AD.[9]
Debroy, in 2011, notes that updated critical edition of Shalya Parva, after removing verses and chapters generally accepted so far as spurious and inserted into the original, has 4 sub-books, 64 adhyayas (chapters) and 3,541 shlokas (verses).[10] Debroy has published a translated version of the critical edition of Shalya Parva in Volume 7 of his series.[8]
Quotes and teachings
Shalya-vadha Parva, Chapter 1:
Shalya has been killed, as also Shakuni and his son Uluka,
The Samsaptakas, the Kambhojas, the Shakas, the Mlechas, the Mountaineers and the Yavanas have all been killed;
The Easterners, the Southerners, the Northerners and the Westerners, O king, have all been killed,
All the kings and princes have been killed; Duryodhana too have been killed by Pandu's son Bhima,
All the men collected have been destroyed, as also the elephants; all chariot warriors and horsemen have been slain in battle.
Amongst the Pandavas seven are alive, amongst your people just three.
—  Sanjaya, Shalya Parva, Mahabharata Book ix.1.22-32[11]
Gadayuddha Parva, Chapter 32:
In difficulty, every one forgets considerations of virtue.
—  Yudhishthira, Shalya Parva, Mahabharata Book ix.32.59[12]
Morality is always followed by the good.
Morality is always followed for two motives:
the desire for Profit, or the desire for Pleasure
Whoever without making distinction between Morality and Profit,
or Morality and Pleasure, or Pleasure and Profit,
follows all three together - Morality, Profit and Pleasure,
always succeeds in obtaining great happiness.
—  Krishna, Shalya Parva, Mahabharata Book ix.60.17-19[13]

The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom or European Union, but its immigration system is closely modelled on the United Kingdom system, and is designed to facilitate the legitimate migration of individuals and businesses likely to be of benefit to the Isle of Man. British Citizens and citizens of other European Economic Area countries can live in the Isle of Man without requiring a visa or other permission, although they are likely to require an Isle of Man work permit should they wish to take up employment or self-employment.
The Isle of Man is part of the Common Travel Area with the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and Ireland, meaning, for example, that there are no fixed immigration checks on travel between the Isle of Man and the United Kingdom. Isle of Man residents are free to travel to the UK, provided they comply with the terms of any Isle of Man visa they hold.
Persons other than British and EEA citizens typically require an Isle of Man visa in order to live in the Isle of Man, although the holders of existing UK visas can travel to the Isle of Man without the requirement for further permission, provided they comply with the terms of their UK visa. Applications from persons with the dominant purpose of visit to the Isle of Man, who have so notified the British immigration authority in their country of residence, are forwarded to the immigration authorities of the Isle of Man. This process redistributes the burden from the British authorities and may expedite the issue of an Isle of Man visa, which gives the bearer the right to enter both the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man. An application for such a visa may be made to a British consulate anywhere in the world, typically in the country of the applicant's residence, using the same procedures as would apply in the case of a UK visa. The British consulate forwards the application to the Isle of Man Immigration Office for a decision, which is then communicated to the applicant by the British consulate.
The Isle of Man visa system closely follows, but is not identical to, the UK system, and includes a Points Based System for long stay immigrants such as investors, workers and students, in addition to visitor visas and special categories for family members and persons of British descent.
Kinley Legal advises businesses and manages the migration of their owners and executives to the Isle of Man, either as part of the transfer of existing holding companies and trading structures to the island, or independently. We have particular experience in assisting individuals with preparing and checking their applications for Tier 1 (Investor) and Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visas, including assessment of business plans for the latter, but can advise on and manage any application in order to help ensure a successful outcome. We can further assist a client with establishing a base in the Isle of Man, for example, by selecting suitable advisers on commercial and residential property.
Long-term residents of the Isle of Man are entitled, in due course, to apply for naturalisation as British Citizens and to hold Isle of Man or UK British passports. If granted, this status entitles the person to remain in the Isle of Man or UK permanently without being subject to immigration control, as well as entitling them to visa-free travel to a large number of countries. Again, Kinley Legal can advise upon applications for citizenship and manage the application process, in order to help ensure that they will be approved.
For more information on Kinley Legal's immigration law practice, please contact Christopher Kinley, or if you would prefer for us to call you, please complete our simple contact form.


Thanks to its experience in mass production, I.M.A. derived its capability of designing, building and changing the part locking equipment; therefore, it equipped a traditional machine division assigned to the development of this activity. The internal manufacturing of the equipment increased business by shortening the industrialisation chain of the new products and reducing the time of introduction of customer changes to the project. The same is also valid for the testing equipment on board the machine of control templates or jigs for air / water tightness tests on mechanical parts.
The satisfaction obtained from the result of this activity induced us to continue on external lines by building different types of equipment according to specific customer requirements.


We all get in a funk occasionally. It's part of living here in this playground of duality — light and dark, hot and cold, up and down. Without occasional bad moods, how would we recognize a good mood? Without feeling despondent occasionally, how would we recognize euphoria?
Recognizing the fact that you are experiencing a bad mood is the first step to getting out of it. Once you realize your spirits could use a lift, here are some tips to help make it as quick and painless as possible.
When your thoughts are in alignment with your sense of purpose, you infuse your life with happiness, enthusiasm and joy.
So step back from the mind and settle into the objective viewpoint. From this perspective of pure awareness, take a good look at the thoughts you have been thinking lately. (It's likely more accurate to say, "your thoughts have been thinking you," before you brought the light of pure awareness to the table.) Your funky mood is telling you those thoughts are not serving you well. They are not bringing you happiness, enthusiasm or joy . . . so make a decision right now, in this present moment, to change the color of your thoughts.
Do a 180-degree mental pivot, and deliberately point your thoughts in the opposite direction.
This kind of deliberate, directed thinking is a choice. It's a personal decision based on understanding what you want and how to get it. If you're tired of seeing your life through the dark lens of a funky mood . . . and are serious about letting the light in, change your thoughts.
Nobody can do it for you. Nobody else has to change in order for you to feel better. Nobody has to behave differently. All that needs to change is your attitude . . . the way you react to the events in your life makes the difference. Once you get a handle on that, you can maintain mental and emotional equanimity, regardless of outer circumstances.
* Notice how you feel.
* Examine your predominant thoughts.
* Redirect your thoughts, as needed, in sync with your highest ideals and your sense of purpose.
3. Exercise — Get your blood pumping. Increased heart rate and respiration sends more oxygen and endorphins to your brain, and that feels good.
4. Use Your Imagination — Relive happy moments. Pull out an old photo album (or photo folder on your computer) and look for photos that feel good. Spend some time with them, wrap your thoughts around them, and allow the positive emotions to wash over you.
5. Gratitude — Have a personal gratitude party. You can do this alone or it's fun to share it with someone you love. Notice (and feel deeply) all the things you are grateful for. To take this to another level, express your gratitude whenever you can. Look for opportunities to do that.
6. Be Here Now — Bad moods are often the result of worrying about the future or regretting something in the past. Refocus your attention on this present moment, and notice that, right now, all is well. The secret is to keep your attention sharply focused in this micro-moment. At this precise instant, I'm alive, I'm breathing, I'm not starving, and there are no wild animals gnawing on my leg. It's good to be alive — it's a priceless gift, and life is now.
8. Watch a Good Movie — Choose something that will give you a lift. Pixar and Disney animations are good for a change of emotional scenery. Some fantasy and science fiction movies work well, as do romantic comedies. Anything funny breaks up the brittle edges of a bad mood and lets in a little fresh air and sunshine.
9. Play with Pets — Puppies and kittens are fun. Better yet, try to find a litter, and just hang out with them for a while. If you can find some youngsters, six to eight weeks old, that's ideal for a good laugh and an emotional facelift.
12. Smile — Just the firing of those facial muscles can help lift your mood. It's a psychological and physiological way to reverse engineer happiness. There have been impressive studies done demonstrating how this works. A smile activates the pressure points on both sides of the mouth, which triggers good feelings. So even a fake smile helps. Try it now. Paste a big, wide, cheesy grin on your face, and just hold it there for a few seconds. (You might want to do this while nobody's looking . . . otherwise, they might give you something real to smile about.) As you feel the smile muscles exercised in your face, can you feel the subtle changes in your brain? Interesting, eh?
13. Enjoy Alone Time — If your life is full of juggling your schedule with lots of other people, get away for a day . . . or a week, and just be your own best friend. Remember who you are — not who everyone else thinks you are or who everyone else wants you to be. Get re-grounded and centered. Then you have more of yourself to offer others.
14. Be Inspired on Purpose — Whatever makes you feel good and enthusiastic is good medicine for the soul and poison to bad moods. Ask yourself what inspires you, and deliberately focus your attention on that.
15. Sing — Even if you don't sing or haven't sung for years, try it. Put on a favorite song or an album you are very familiar with, and sing along. When you don't know the words, hum. Allow the magic to work on you. It's almost impossible to remain bummed out while singing. Like the fake smile (tip #12), complex psychological and physiological factors come into play when your body is generating tones. (That's why Tibetan monks chant.) Harmony, melody and breath are powerful. They revitalize your psyche and nourish the soul.
17. Decide to Change Moods — Mean it. If you're fed up with bad moods, make a conscious decision to do something about it. Personal resolve and commitment make it happen.
Water and the sea are such perfect metaphors for the larger reality we are all immersed in.
Whatever you do, taking time to relax and regenerate helps you to do it better. If you don't pause occasionally, shift your mind into neutral and recharge your batteries, your productivity plummets and you may not even realize it. You need time to let your mind wander – time to imagine new possibilities – time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life – time to nurture soul. Life is more than an endless to-do list, and many of its most important gifts come when you allow yourself to put the daily details on pause and just experience the simplicity of life in the moment with nothing in particular on your mind that needs to be done.
No matter what's going on in your life right now, there's something to appreciate about it. The act of appreciation rivets our consciousness to this present moment. With our attention focused on the here and now, we are living life fully, since right now is the only time there ever is.

WILLIAMS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS: Update On Solar Field Project Given By County Engineer
December 17, 2021 Updated: March 3, 2022 No Comments4 Mins Read
A few resolutions were approved at the December 16, 2021, Thursday morning meeting of the Williams County Commissioners with Lew Hilkert and Brian Davis present, including:
-Supplemental Appropriations
-Resolution 388 Entering into a Fire Protection Contract between the City of Bryan and the Board of Commissioners of WC to provide fire protection and all fire department related services for Hillside Country Living, Opdycke Park, and WC Park Building for two years
-Resolution 389 Entering into IV-E Contract between JFS and National Youth Advocate Program for provision of child placement
-Resolution 390 Entering into IV-E Contract between JFS and Ohio Teaching Family Association for provision of child placement
-Resolution 391 Entering into IV-E Contract between JFS and Unk's Place for provision of child placement
-Resolution 392 Entering into Contract between JFS and Adriel School, Inc. for supervised visitation and parent coaching
-Resolution 393 Approving updated List of Members for the WC Port Authority was tabled until later in the meeting so that they could "change the verbiage on it."
There was some discussion concerning the wording around Mike Kidston's name on the list. Before adjourning for the day, the Commissioners brought this Resolution back and approved it.
It was included in the resolution that Estel Wyrick and Mike Kidston's terms have expired and that Dawn Fitzcharles and Tyson Stuckey have agreed to be appointed. These two were appointed and the rest of the list was re-confirmed.
The members are now: Dawn Fitzcharles Term ending December 31, 2024 (first term); Tyson Stuckey the same; Sean Rupp Term ending December 31, 2025 (second term); Richard Reed (appointed by Bryan Mayor) Term ending December 31, 2025 (fourth term); John Drinnon (appointed by Bryan Mayor) Term ending December 31, 2022 (third term); Bart Westfall Term ending December 31, 2022 (third term); and David C. Newcomer Term ending December 31, 2023 (third term).
Also signed items were Credit Card expenses for the Sheriff's Office for January 2022 and Data Processing Board Request for a computer for the Coroner. The commissioners approved the payment of bills as submitted by the auditor and the minutes for the December 13, 2021 meeting.
Around 9:30, following a 20-minute recess, the commissioners returned to General Session with County Engineer Todd Roth present to give an update on the Solar Field Project.
Roth gave a large amount of information to the commissioners concerning information he has gathered on this project but basically, he presented them with an Application pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding.
It was much larger than a normal application for approval and after discussion it was agreed to have it sent to the county attorney in Columbus, Thad Boggs, to have him read it.
Roth said that he has had good communication with Dalton Carr with APEX Clean Energy, and that he is ready to work with them.
There was also some talk of hiring a third party to do the day to day inspections as was done for the Kunkle Project. Roth said it is a matter of having available time and it really helps to have a third party.
Before moving on to an Executive session, Commissioner Hilkert asked Roth if he knows anything about the proposed Solar Field in Stryker.
Roth said he had not heard anything on that and Hilkert said there had been "quite a bit of discussion of solar at Winter Conference and some of these projects, such as the one up by Holiday City, are grandfathered in from the House Bill that just passed in October" and he thought Stryker was on the list. It was determined they were not and the commissioners thanked Roth for his update.
The Commissioners then went into Executive Session to consider the employment of personnel. After 44 minutes they came out with action.
A motion was made and approved to "have Andrea Lavens who works IT for the county, be transferred from the Recorder's Office to the IT Department and she will report to Mr. Suffel, effective January 3, 2022."
Following the approval of the returned Resolution 393, the commissioners adjourned for the day.

Вулиця Княгині Ольги — вулиця у Франківському районі Львова. Сполучає вулиці Сахарова та Трускавецьку, утворюючи повноцінні перехрестя з магістральними вулицями Володимира Великого та Науковою.

Прилучаються вулиці Червона, Куликівська, Котка, Шумського, Аркаса, Кобилиці, Музики, Бойчука.

Історія та назва
Найдавніша відома назва — Вулецька дорога зустрічається вже у 1864 році та починалася від Вулецького корзо, а закінчувалася біля залізничної колії на межі з Кульпарковим.

Роман Могитич у своєму дослідженні «Передмістя самоврядного Львова у 1-й половині XVII століття» описує терени (міські лани), що згодом увійшли до складу дільниці Новий Світ:Микульчинські або Пелчинські три лани з Сокільницькою вулицею (дорогою) перед ними (сучасні вул. Коперніка, Сахарова та Княгині Ольги) належали українським родинам Микулки та Андрія Пелки і були викуплені Радою міста у 1540 році. На цьому лані розташовувалися  міські цегельні та млини: Пелчинський та Шумило. У верхів'ях землеволодіння починалися витоки Полтви, звідки з двох найпотужніших джерел до міста провадив водогін Мелюзина… Лан простягався до межі міста з селом Кульпарковом»Від 1933 року мала назву Івашкевича — на честь дивізійного генерала Війська Польського Вацлава Івашкевича. 1943 року, за часів німецької окупації перейменована на честь Ріхарда Вагнера. У липні 1944 року повернуто довоєнну назву, а у грудні того ж року перейменовано на честь радянського військового діяча часів війни 1917—1921 років Василя Боженка. Сучасна назва на честь княгині Ольги походить із 1991 року.

Територію, яку зараз займає середня загальноосвітня школа № 31 (вул. Княгині Ольги 104), належала до маєтку дідичів приміського села Кульпарків. Тут у середині XIX століття був маєток графа Станіслава Доліва-Стажинського. Після своєї смерті граф заповів цей маєток лютеранській громаді Львова. Деякі будівлі фільварку та залишки парку існували ще у 1940-х роках.

При перетині сучасних вулиць Княгині Ольги та Сахарова у 1930-х роках був стадіон, що належав товариству «Луг» — «Луговий город». Після того, як у 1938 році польська влада відібрала «для цілей оборони краю» стадіон «Сокола-Батька», що знаходився на вул. Стрийській, то «Луговий город» став найважливішою українською спортивною ареною Львова. Тут, зокрема, товариством «Рідна школа» проводилися щорічні велелюдні Свята української молоді.

Забудова
У забудові вулиці Княгині Ольги переважає конструктивізм 1930—2020-х років, а також сучасна забудова. У верхній та нижній частині вулиці переважно дев'яти-десятиповерхові житлові будинки 1990—2020-х років, у середній частині — малоповерхова садибна забудова.

З непарного боку вулиці
№ 1, 3 — комплекс споруд Львівського фахового коледжу спорту, розташований на ділянці при роздоріжжі вулиць Сахарова та Княгині Ольги. Складається з головного навчального корпусу (№ 1), санної естакади та тренувального поля зі штучним покриттям, гуртожитку для учнів (№ 3). Головний корпус навчального закладу споруджений наприкінці 1950-х років для школи-інтернату спортивного профілю. 1971 року тут відкрилася Львівська загальноосвітня школа-інтернат спортивного профілю. У середині 1970-х років у верхній частині території училища споруджено чотириповерховий студентський гуртожиток навчального закладу. 1990 року Львівська загальноосвітня школа-інтернат спортивного профілю реорганізована у Львівське державне училище фізичної культури. 2006 року спорудили тренувальну санну естакаду завдовжки зі штучним нарощуванням льоду, а 2008 року біля гуртожитку облаштували футбольне поле зі штучним покриттям. Залишається недобудованим тільки спортивний зал у верхній частині території комплексу. 20 лютого 2020 року найменування закладу змінене на комунальний заклад Львівської обласної ради «Львівський фаховий коледж спорту».

№ 1а — храм Святого великомученика Пантелеймона, дерев'яний, збудований в гуцульському стилі. Його будівництво тривало понад рік, а для побудови використане дерево, яке було привезене з Ворохти. Чин освячення храму відбулося 25 лютого 2007 року провів Блаженніший митрополит Львівський Макарій. Храм Святого великомученика Пантелеймона належить до Львівської єпархії ПЦУ, а його настоятелем є о. Василь Гнатів. 2008 року встановлено та освячено пам'ятний знак-хрест на честь 1-ї річниці від дня освячення храму та з нагоди 1020-ліття хрещення України-Руси.

№ 3а — колишній кінний манеж, споруджений 1895 року за проєктом архітектора Вінцента Равського-молодшого разом із комплексом кавалерійських казарм при тогочасній вулиці Вулецькій. Кінний манеж призначався для об'їжджування коней військової частини спочатку 11-го кінного артилерійського дивізіону австрійського війська, згодом — польського, казарми якого були розташовані поряд. Первісну функцію будівля виконувала до  початку другої світової війни. У перші повоєнні роки вона використовувалася як спортивний зал для військовослужбовців Залізної дивізії Радянської армії. Згодом її переобладнали у спеціалізований зал спортивної гімнастики та акробатики, що належав спортивному клубові армії, нині — спеціалізований гімнастичний зал Навчально-спортивної бази літніх видів спорту Міністерства оборони України у місті Львові. 1976 року розширилась внаслідок прибудови до цільного фасаду двоповерхової будівлі. До заднього, південного фасаду, 2011 року прибудована одноповерхова, прямокутна будівля, в якій містяться стоматологічна клініка та аптека. Тепер у гімнастичному залі проводяться турніри із спортивної гімнастики — кубок-меморіал Віктора Чукаріна та від 1997 року — Міжнародний меморіал Євгена Орищина.

№ 5 — храм Стрітення Господнього належить до Львівсько-Сокальської єпархії ПЦУ. Настоятелем храму є ієрей Мар'ян Сеник. 7 червня 2016 року Стрітенський храм оголошено Гарнізонним храмом військового духовенства єпархії. Його статус закріплено відповідним розпорядженням керуючого єпархією. Престольний празник — Стрітення Господнє, яке святкується 15 лютого.

На ділянці за адресою вул. Княгині Ольги 1—5, що розташована поряд з офісом будівельної корпорації «Карпатбуд», у 2018 році будівельна компанія «Львівська Мрія» розпочала підготовчі роботи під зведення однойменного житлового комплексу. Комплекс складатиметься з трьох десятиповерхових будинків.. Станом на листопад 2021 року будівельні роботи не проводяться.

№ 5в — триповерхова офісна будівля корпорації «Карпатбуд», збудована 2002 року за проєктом, розробленим групою архітекторів АС «Арніка», зокрема архітекторами Володимиром Следзем, Костянтином Малярчуком та Михайлом Миськом. До того на цьому місці розташовувалася будівля вузла зв'язку військової частини, яка припинила своє існування наприкінці 1990-х років. Навколо неї з часом, виріс новий житловий масив з мішаною забудовою.

№ 5г, 5д, 5є — колишні військові казарми, збудовані 1895 року за проєктом Вінцента Равського-молодшого. Тут свого часу розташовувався 11-й кінний артилерійський дивізіон австрійської армії, створений 1908 року. За радянських часів казарми належали військовому містечку № 1, яке припинило своє існування у 1999—2003 роках. Більшість будівель передано у власність приватним структурам. За часів незалежності колишні військові казарми корпорацією «Карпатбуд» реконструйовані під житлові, а у приміщенні КПП колишньої військової частини до середини 2000-х років містилася аптека, до 2018 року — магазин-салон віконних конструкцій «Нобілекс», віднедавна у цьому приміщенні міститься відділ продажу будівельної компанії «Львівська Мрія».

Низка двоповерхових житлових будинків, які розташовані перед залізничним мостом та збудовані за типовими проєктами Мирона Вендзиловича, Юрія Геліса, Ярослава Новаківського, Івана Персикова, Генріха Швецького-Вінецького. За часів незалежності більшість перебудовано, при чому було втрачено риси стилю функціоналізму, закладені авторами у 1950-х роках.

№ 59а — будівля, в якій міститься львівський дошкільний навчальний заклад ясла-садок № 37.

№ 95 — торговий центр меблів та інтер'єру «Марк».

З парного боку вулиці
№ 100б — житлові комплекси «Greenville House», «Добра Оселя».

№ 106, 108, 110, 114, 116 — комплекс будівель, початково задуманий як громадський центр південного житлового району, збудований у 1980-х за проєктом архітекторів Зіновія Підлісного, Василя Каменщика, Юлії Верблян та Віталія Петелька. Комплекс включав у себе будівлі універмагу «Львів» (№ 106), АТС-63/64 (№ 108), готель «Супутник» (№ 116), будинок культури ЛАЗу (№ 110, недобудований). Частиною колишнього комплексу є також колишній палац водних видів спорту (№ 114). Тут було влаштовано 50-метровий плавальний та навчальний басейни, а також басейн для стрибків у воду. 2008 року комплекс реконструйовано за проєктом архітектора Ярослава Мастила під аквапарк «Пляж». Під № 106, в окремій будівлі, міститься супермаркет електроніки та побутової техніки «Фокстрот». В універмазі «Львів» у залі № 15 міститься музей цікавої науки та техніки «Еврика».

Поблизу аквапарку «Пляж» планується будівництво нового багатофункціонального торгового комплексу висотою 22 метри з вбудованим підземним паркінгом. Для цього забудовник хоче знести недобудовану будівлю будинку культури Львівського автобусного заводу (№ 110).

№ 120 — супермаркет «Арсен», відкриття якого відбулося 6 жовтня 2005 року, що на той час став найбільшим супермаркетом у Львові. Площа супермаркету сягала 7000 м², а асортимент товарів — більше 27 000 найменувань. Наприкінці липня 2021 року супермаркет закритий. Станом на листопад 2021 року, триває демонтаж будівлі.

№ 122а — житловий квартал «Ренуар», споруджений будівельною корпорацією «Ріел» у 2016—2017 роках. В березні 2018 року на території ЖК «Ренуар» відкрилося амбулаторне відділення реабілітаційного центру «Можу», що спеціалізується на допомозі людям побороти алкогольну залежність.

Пам'ятні знаки, меморіальні та пропам'ятні таблиці
 29 листопада 2013 року, у Львові урочисто відкрито пам'ятну таблицю, присвячену видатному львівському футболісту, срібному призеру чемпіонату Європи 1972 року, гравцеві національної та олімпійської збірних СРСР Едвардові Козинкевичу, встановлену на фасаді будинку на вул. Княгині Ольги 16, де він мешкав у 1972—1994 роках.
 2008 року перед храмом Святого великомученика Пантелеймона (вул. Княгині Ольги, 1а) встановлено та освячено пам'ятний знак-хрест надпис на якому сповіщає, що встановлено його на честь 1-ї річниці від дня відкриття храму та з нагоди 1020-ліття хрещення України-Руси.

Транспорт
Вулиця відіграє значну роль у транспортному сполученні між центром Львова та його південною частиною. В 1988 році вулицею було прокладено швидкісну трамвайну колію, якою відтоді курсували трамвайні маршрути № 3 та № 5, проте до сьогодні залишився лише маршрут під № 3. Спочатку планувалося, що трамвайна колія буде продовжена до району автовокзалу на вулиці Стрийській, для цього розпочали будівництво трамвайного мосту через перехрестя вулиць Княгині Ольги та Наукової, однак вже у 1990-х роках будівництво заморозили, а недобудований міст відтоді використовується як платний паркінг.

Трамвайний маршрут № 8, який нині сполучає найбільший житловий масив міста — Сихів та центральну частину Львова планують подовжити до вулиці Княгині Ольги.

Відповідно до нової транспортної схеми, яка була запроваджена у Львові у 2012 році, має добре транспортне сполучення, передусім автобусне, а саме тут курсують маршрутні таксі № 21, 38, 41, 51. Крім того, 14 лютого 2017 року, відновив роботу автобусний маршрут № 9, сполученням «вул. Максимовича — с. Муроване», маршрут якого пролягає вулицею Княгині Ольги.

HAYDEN KENNEDY
Fabio Palma 24/07/2018
Hayden Kennedy was one of the strongest contemporary mountaineers but, to be honest, examining what he did in his very few years of mountaineering, I would say one of the greatest ever. Of course, it was one for which ethics was everything. Attacked in a very violent way by many Italians when he opened the way of the Compressor (because it was of Masters, basically.If it had been a German or an American, no one would have said anything …), with some phrases we say a bit 'a posteriori , unexpected (youngsters without level and value who just want to advertise themselves … well, the brightest in emphasizing this or have never done 1/100 of what they then did the two boys on mountains very difficult, or have beautifully used ropes were and similar styles in places where the two boys would not even put them in the trunk … but so it is), Kennedy has made climbs that define exaggerated is not a little.
But his is above all a love story. Colin Haley tells us that in his mails he had put second place lists of goals and "targets" to talk, first and foremost, about his story, his love for his partner, his being lost in his history.
In recent years, thanks to the stratospheric level of high-level alpinism, really too much primers have died. And you can not even imagine how many sleepless nights you have spent during some of my boys' expeditions. High level alpinism today is technically and logistically almost incomprehensible, especially if you look at the times. Rise times on which one seldom dwells, and who say one thing: the best of today go on weighing the gram, with a speed of an order of magnitude higher than that of an excellent alpinist, and with a mastery that really it leaves you open-mouthed. Kennedy was a good rock mountaineer and an absurd interpreter of mixed and ice.
And yet his decision silences me a lot, much more than what already left me breathless the disappearance of Dean, that I knew, of Ueli, that I knew and with whom I had a correspondence now so precious (you know, when one repeats your own away, he becomes a family …), of Lafaille and Humar, which I simply admired. Hayden has gone instead in the way he left me an idol, David Foster Wallace, but not because of depression, but because humanly, and incredibly, in love. And his face … My God, how beautiful it is, in the photographs that circulate. A face so enthusiastic, clean, bright with life.
I have known mountaineers also a bit 'arrogant (usually, they are not strong, but … have made him believe …), and I who are a bit' a fan of physiognomy I can not help but notice the difference between the faces of these false gurus with that of Hayden. How much he would have given us, this boy. But I'm not talking about companies, those he had already done, enough to be alpinistically immortal. No, I'm talking about humanity. This boy was purity, and could not stand impurities. The death of his love was as impure as those nails of pressure. He took those, he took off. A dramatic coherence and God knows how much I wanted to be one of the many close to him to stop him. Listening to him talking, this guy, I would have been fantastic. We have lost a unique person.
"I understood something very painful. Ephemeris are not just memorable tops or crucial wall gestures. Transponders are also friends and members of the consortium ".
Back home after not being able to save his love, he left a note with all the details to recover his beloved, not wanting to remain buried. Rescuers found the shovel stuck in the snow, indicating the point. Hi Hayden, every man's death diminishes, wrote Hemingway, but some decrease more, and even grow.
Note: a few months ago, Chester Bennington, a superb vocal talent leader of Linkin Park, took his life at the age of 41, on the birthday of Chris Cornell (one of the greatest singers of all time), his great friend to whom he had dedicated an open letter, which had committed suicide by depression a few weeks before. Famous and idolized all over the world, real living legends, they were bound by a friendship that was beyond the strongest friendship I ever met. In fact, it was love. And I see the same thing and I wanted to write it.

Although it is a common misconception that rabbits are part of the rodent family, they are in fact lagomorphs. Members of this group are very similar to rodents, but are different in a number of aspects. Lagomorph literally means 'hare-like' and they are most noticeably defined as being herbivores with two pairs of upper incisors, which differ from the rodents' single ones.
New breeds are discovered and genetically engineered which means that there are now 45 different types in the world. Some of these include; Lop, Dutch, Californian and Harlequin rabbits. Certain breeds require more care than others, especially the long haired varieties which need more grooming than a Lionhead rabbit breed; these need to be groomed daily when they are malting and twice a week during other times of the year.
Rabbits cannot vomit due to their specialised digestive system and often need hay to help it work both smoothly and efficiently. Their digestive systems are capable of digesting a wide variety of plants which means that they can inhabit most places on earth. At the other end of their digestive systems, rabbit droppings make fantastic garden fertiliser.
Knowing when a rabbit is happy may seem like a difficult task, but there is one plain telltale sign; a binky! This is when a rabbit jumps and twists in the air and is a very good sign. On the other hand, a rabbit can actually be scared to death. If a predator sneaks up on an unaware bunny, the poor thing can literally die on the spot.
So, next time you look at those cute little noses twitching, remember that there is a lot more to these furry little friends than meets the eye. To find out more about rabbits before you become an owner, speak to your local vets in Surrey, such as Anne Nelson Vets.
To ensure that your pet rabbit will have a long life and will be able to produce healthy bunnies in the future, don't forget to take her to any of the top-performing Surrey vets. For sure, the vet can prescribe the right medicines, perform the best treatment, and provide sensible advice when health issues emerge.


I have noticed a recent swell of comments about the pain of dependency injection, and if this has caused you problems on your project, then I think I can help you by offering a few simple guidelines and a single goal for injecting dependencies.
I have formulated these as Novice or Advanced Beginner rules, and so I have worded them more strongly than I tend to word my advice.
When in doubt, inject each dependency directly into the method that requires it.
Only when you inject the same dependency into multiple methods of the same class, move the parameter into the constructor.
Do not use so-called "setter injection" except as an intermediate step in a refactoring aimed at injecting the dependency into a method or the constructor.
Stop using the Service Locator pattern, and instead inject the service into the client.
Stop instantiating collaborating services (in the Domain-Driven Design sense), and instead inject those services into the client.
When a constructor parameter list becomes uncomfortably long, split the class so that the new classes' constructor parameter lists don't overlap.
If you notice a class using the same dependency through two different object graph routes, split the class so that the new classes receive the dependency directly in their constructors.
If you notice a class using groups of dependencies at different times, split the class so that the new classes only use each cohesive group of dependencies.
All these guidelines have their roots in "remove duplication" and "fix bad names", two of the four elements of simple design.
So why inject dependencies at all?
Some people inject dependencies in order to stub, mock or spy on a method for testing. I used to use that as a primary motivation, but over the years that motivation has evolved into something more widely useful. I inject dependencies for one reason: to move the things that change in the direction of the client and the things that don't in the direction of the supplier. Or, if you prefer, "abstractions in code, details in data". Or, if you prefer, to avoid abstractions depending on details. Any of those will do.
No problem. I'll write more articles in this space showing examples of each of the guidelines, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to share your opinions about them.

Q: How to read in Hebrew letters in Visual Studios C++ I'm trying to read in a Hebrew text file, do some modifications, then send it to another text file. I've been successful in displaying Hebrew letters using UTF8, but I can't seem to read them in. This code successfully prints out the Hebrew letters to the txt file that it was redirected to, but when I try to read in Hebrew from another text file (that was redirected in) I get random garbage. How do I fix this?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <io.h>
#include <fstream>

A: The problem has been figured out. It was what Barmak Shemirani said almost. I put in _setmode(_fileno(stdin), _O_U16TEXT); and changed my output to U16 and then still got garbage then I changed them both to U8 and I was able to read in and out perfectly.

Young People in Mental Health,…
How concerned are you as a young person about your mental health?
How concerned are you as a parent about your children's mental health?
Alarming statistics- This is where things are at so let's begin with some stats. Evidence shows that mental health issues can begin as early as 5/6 year olds. Record levels of young people are struggling at an increasingly fast pace and unable to cope with the speed and demands in which the modern world is changing. Factors which greatly influence young people today are: Academic pressure, social media, latest technology, family/ cultural pressures, social circles, bullying, poverty, job prospects, lack of resources and availability of professional mental health support (the list is exhaustive)– all have been named as contributing to this epidemic of poor mental health in our young people. On average research shows that:
3 in 4 mental illnesses start in childhood.
In 2004, 1 in 10 children, 5-16 years, had a diagnos-able mental health problem.
70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate intervention at a timely manner.
50% health problems are established by the 14 and 75% by the age of 24.
50% of health problems in adulthood takes roots from before the age of 15.
7 are likely to have been bullied in some form of another.
The latest figures from the ONS (Office of National Statistics) revealed that the number of young suicided each year is greater that it has been for the past 10 years. In 2015 alone 1,660 y0ung people under 35 took their own lives; 103 more than in 2014 and 58 more than the previous highest record 1,631 in 2011. For those aged 5-19 suicide is the second most common cause of death- a record number of children having suicidal thoughts just in 2016/17.
Funding for CAMHS equates to just 0.7% of the total NHS budget and just 7% of mental health expenditure.
CAMHS turn away approximate 25% of children and young people referred to them.
1-2 would have experienced the death of a parent or a very close family member.
At least 6 may be self-harming in one way or another.
How shocking is that? My view and the views of many other professionals and parents which I have spoken to are very concerned about what our younger generation will be faced with if mental health is not taken seriously – more importantly if drastic changes in attitudes and support is not made. How do you want to see your younger people living and coping day to day? What can you do to make a difference?
It's crystal clear that young people are not getting the support they need. There seems to be a lot of talk and drawing out documents, but what is truly being done? Action really needs to start happening and cannot be left to just charities and individuals. This has to be a united approach if we are to see a healthy future generation, who are able to cope with the increasing demands in a changing world. With that, it is crucial to know who the key influences in a young person's life are: parents, family members, teachers, tutors, carers, youth workers etc… who are the ones that can often spot when a young person is struggling but may not know how best to help. So, the key is to get educated about how you can help instead of brushing it off thinking that it is no big deal! The negative attitudes of many still have the belief of: "how can they be stressed, depressed, have anxiety etc… they are just children and teenagers. They don't really know the meaning of stress and difficulties". These responses I have heard time and time again – so unhelp to the young person. What they do need is to hear: "Yes, I hear you, you do not have to do this alone, talk to me, I'm here to listen."
The 21stcentury is becoming a complex time for young people to be growing up, with increased pressure and constant shift in expectations and demands, changing at a drastic pace where they feel that they are almost unable to keep up. Technology is advancing and emerging at a tremendous pace with new and exciting things happening but at the same time it is extremely daunting and concerning. When I was growing up there was no internet, smartphone or social media. The most I had was Donkey Kong (watch game), played Tetris on an ancient block computer, wrote letters to communicate, board games for social interaction… Whilst the internet, smartphones, social media has made life much easier, it has also added huge pressures on our teens. What needs to be taught and learnt is how to effectively deal with these increased pressures, along with pressures such as: gangs, drugs, bullying, alcohol, peer pressure, self-image, eating disorders… As adults, we need to slow down, take time and listen to the young voices. What is it that they are truly trying to tell us because in some way or another the behaviour that they might be portraying is more likely to be a sign saying, "I need help". Working as a teacher for 11 years has given me a great deal of insight to the struggles that young children and adolescent encounter and that the good intentions are there but these young people are not always fully supported and heard. Mental health and resilience around this must be implemented and taught from a very young age giving them the understanding, tools and strategies to cope with difficult and uncertain situations/ events in their life. By doing so this will become innate as a habitual pattern. I found that the external demanding pressures as a teacher made it very difficult and stressful to address each individual need of a child – I only wished that I had known more about supporting young people's mental health and wellbeing during my career as a teacher, however it is never too late and here I am with many other trying to make a difference. In my opinion, more needs to be done about educating the young people about mental health and how to cope with all that is within the high demands of a changing world. Priority above all should be the mental and emotional well-being of our younger generation. Once addressed, the rest should fall into place with consistency.
Two are which I would like to address in more detail here are:
mental health rises due to Teenagers feeling more isolated in Britain
social media implications and new guidelines drawn up for usage time
Loneliness and isolation are normally seen as old age thing, a pensioner but times have drastically moved on. It is alarming to see that loneliness amongst young people is happening so much earlier within children and young people. You ask yourself, "what is it that they could feel so lonely and isolated about when they have so much going for them?" I beg to differ. Just because you a child may have everything or nothing it is wrong to assume that they are not lonely or isolated. It is all the modern society pressures which are impacting the young youth of today. Loneliness and isolation have a huge impact on mental health leading to anxiety or depression, even leading to suicidal thoughts/attempts. Within young people, there are clear correlations between loneliness and poor mental and physical health, and between loneliness and lower academic attainment. More frightening statistics below:
Research with pre-school children found that more than 1 in 10 say they are lonely and unhappy with their social relationships.
1 in 5 children aged 7 to 12 say they are lonely sometimes or often.
4 out of 5 adolescents report feelings of loneliness at some time, and almost a third describe these feelings as persistent and painful.
The question to ask here is, "Why are there so many young people feeling loneliness and isolation?"
It is important to know and recognise that loneliness can happen at any age. Statements such as this is heart breaking "So many people in this world, yet no one will listen or understand." All it takes is to pause and listen to the language and hear what they are truly saying. There was a time in my younger years during secondary school and towards the beginning of my early work career that I felt great isolation and loneliness which affected me in many ways. I lost self-confidence in my abilities, skills and self-image; became insecure of everything I did; withdrew from social interaction with friends and family. I isolated myself purely because I was afraid of what people might think of me and say, leaving me feeling lonely and unhappy… Having close members of family and being able to talk to someone gave me the strength to move forward. It was someone listening to me, taking importance in what I had to say and love that pushed me in the right direction…
Certain children and young people could be particularly vulnerable to loneliness if they experience neglect, being in care, have a disability, whether physical or learning, have young parents or parents with mental health problems.
Food for thought? Modern communication and social media can be both the cause and cure of loneliness. Almost half of 11-16year olds find it easier to be themselves online than face-to-face and 3 in 5 would be lonely if they couldn't talk to friends via technology.Yet in a recent survey 4% of 11-25year olds said they had been bullied on line in the last month. Where is the balance here I ask? This is why we as adults have to be in-tuned to hearing the voices of young people, support them, and educate them about these issues and feelings, by making time to truly listen to them.
When a child is asked they would say things like they are "bored", or that they have "nothing to do." Whereas, teenagers/ adolescents may not speak at all, not trusting anyone to understand them. A young person with a disability can often lack friends, despite their families' best efforts.
What is important to remember here is that the feeling of loneliness can be a painful but normal reaction to an uncomfortable situation. However, when it occurs often or lasts for a considerable time, it can become a prolonged state, which can have significant long-term impacts on a young person's mental, emotional and physical health. I refer this prolonged state as a chronic state where it can begin in childhood through to adolescence into adulthood. This chronic state is when there is a need for a close and intimate relationship that is rooted in early parent-child attachment.
Social media implications – How is this affecting young people's mental health? A new document outlining social media usage
Take a moment to think or jot down the negative implications of social media which can lead to mental health concerns/ problems.
The question I ask is "how is this actually going to work and how effective will it be?
Health Secretary Matt Hancock will direct Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies, are drawing up first of its kind new official guidelines which will outline the maximum amount of time young people should spend on social media. There is serious evidence that shows how unlimited social media links to mental health problems in young people, however, there is also an argument that other issues around mental health could arise not by not being active on social media… what are your thoughts on this?
Recent survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of Barnardo's unveiled that social media causes less anxiety for young people than school. A consensus is yet to be reached about the effect on young people's mental health, with some saying social media has no confirmed links to poor mental health. I would debate the fact that social media can become an addiction and therefore lead to mental health problems. Again, what are your thoughts?
There are social companies that have started to focus more on the effects of mental health in young people and how this can be reduced. For example: Apple has introduced a new Screen Time feature earlier this year, which allows users to monitor their iPhone usage and set limits. Facebook and Instagram have also introduced new tools which allow users to monitor how much time they have spent scrolling within each app. These features are all well and good although I believe that this will not work effectively if young people are not taught the importance of this on a consistent base. As Hancock states that he "hopes new guidelines will empower parents and teachers to enforce sensible limits and explain them to children."
A study from the University of Texas revealed that we check our phones an average of 85 times a day, while Ofcom reported more children are going online than ever before and that starting from an earlier age. More than half of children aged just three to four go online, while 80% of those aged five to seven do, 94% of eight to 11-year-olds, and 99% of those aged 12–15 regularly go online. So, this shows you the impact it can have on a young person's developing mind. A report by Youngminds revealed, that almost 45% of young people spent three hours a day or more on social media, with nearly 40% reporting social media has a negative impact on how they feel about themselves.
As a young person using social media is a way of feeling accepted, fitting in, appreciated and valued, keeping up with latest trends and media coverage, keeping in contact with social circles… all well and good but often this is done due to pressures of obligation, I have to or else…, If I don't then…, which then can lead to mental health problems like anxiety, depression simply because you're not within that bubble of technology that everyone else is in. From my experience and expertise, the way forward is for adults to be consistent and speak to young people regularly and follow through on actions. These tips below can be useful and I would also begin to implement these tips with younger children.
Taken from the UK Safer Internet Center for 11 to 19 year olds:
Protect your online reputation – Use the services provided to manage your digital footprints and think before you post. Content posted online can last forever and could be shared publicly by anyone.
Know where to find help – Understand how to report to service providers and use blocking and deleting tools. If something happens that upsets you online, it's never too late to tell someone.
Don't give in to pressure – If you lose your inhibitions you've lost control; once you've pressed send you can't take it back.
The Internet Watch Foundation has these tips for parents. If as a parent you're in doubt, then speak to teachers and other professionals within the health and medical profession.
These solutions are simple common-sense but how many of us actually do it?
Talk about online safety with your children, as soon as they have access to internet connected devices. And educators, not just once a year when its E-safety Day
Set up parental controls and filters
Make a family agreement about device usage
Learn to safely live stream
Teach your child/ teenagers when to say no
See abusive content? Report it!
There is so much going on for young people in this changing world that they live in, so let's embrace it but at the same time educate ourselves and learn how to best move forward these young people, so that mental health can be reduced and removed. It's important to remember that mental health is not for ever and it can be reversed. Let us breakthrough this stigma and rise to the challenge to ensure the young people feel safe, trusted and supported to deal with the high demands and expectations of a changing world.

Senator Fiona O'Loughlin raises recruitment and retention issues within the Defence Forces in the Seanad
Kildare based Senator Fiona O'Loughlin raised the issue on the declining numbers of recruits joining the Irish Defence Force in the Seanad.
Senator O'Loughlin said, "The Commission on the Defence Forces is due to report in the coming weeks, and whereas we in Kildare do not have the monopoly on the Defence Forces, the headquarters are in our county and we all have friends and family who work within its ranks. This report needs to address the issues facing the defence forces and its personnel."
"Currently, 700 new recruits a year are needed but there is a lack of available instructors to teach the recruits. As a result, the recruitment cannot happen. It is not good enough and this position must change."
"The defence forces stepped up during the pandemic and put in a huge amount of work to keep our society functioning- as they have always done. Whenever we have needed to call on the Defence Forces for support, they have been there, but we cannot take that for granted. If we do not adequately resource the force and address the issues in terms of recruitment and retention, then the future could be uncertain."
Fiona concluded "I really hope the Commission report has teeth and it will finally address the recruitment and retention problem because nothing else has to date."
