The barefoot running and minimalist shoewear has become a hot topic over the past 5 years as runners have searched for answers to their ongoing foot and shoe issues. Ever since Born To Run by Christopher McDougal was published in 2009, podiatrists have been asked for their opinion on the barefoot movement.
Performance Footcare of New York has always been careful to research and understand the risks and benefits of any new sport medicine idea before giving our opinion. The issue here is that there is a lack of research properly run prospective, double blind studies. Most of the research has come out of shoe company sponsored studies and physiology research labs. Even the subject of the benefits of forefoot/midfoot strike versus heel strike during running has not been adequately answered.
Why do you want to make the switch to barefoot or minimalist running?
What types of foot and ankle problems have you had in the past? Have you had any orthopedic surgery in any part of your body?
What is your current foot and ankle problem you are trying to address?
What shoes do you run in right now, and what is their condition?
What type of surface do you run on?
What is your running pace?
Are you currently training for an upcoming race?
Stress fractures: due to the markedly increased pressure on the foot in comparison to regular running shoe gear, the repetitive stress from running can results in a small crack in the foot, usually in the metatarsals or the heel bone.
Achilles tendonitis and strains: lack of the nature heel lift found in most shoes increases the pressure on the Achilles.
While Performance Footcare of New York does not advocate completely abandoning your tried-and-true running shoes for barefoot or minimalist shoes, we do recognize that minimalist shoe running can have the benefit of strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the feet and decreasing pressure on the knees while running. Performance Footcare of New York believes that it can be used as an additional training tool for very fit athletes who are experienced runners. We do not recommend barefoot running or minimalist shoes for the novice runner looking to lose weight with a new running and/or exercise program.
Make sure that you are evaluated and fit for them at a specialty running shoe store.
Walk barefoot or in minimalist shoes during the day and for warm up drills until it feels normal. You should have no discomfort during the day.
Make sure to stretch the plantar fascia, Achilles, and calf muscles daily.
Eccentric training should be added to the stretching exercises after the first week of stretching.
Calf raises: With your heels hanging over the edge of a step, quickly raise up onto the ball of your foot. Then come down slowly with a single leg (eccentric exercise). You should perform the movement with the knees both slightly bent and then straight.
Backward walking: Walking backward on a treadmill can stretch the calf muscles. Perform this pain free and fatigue free while barefoot for 10 to 20 percent of your regular running distance.
Performance Footcare of New York recommends a 8 to 10 week transition while slowly increasing your distance. DO NOT EXCEED 1 MILE for any barefoot run during your first week. We recommend starting by performing 10% of your typical run barefoot. You can increase the distane by another 10% every week there after. If you start to feel pain then reduce the percentage of increase.
Running should not hurt after your recovery. While some soreness is to be expected, true pain indicates that your body is not yet ready to return to exercise.
Concentrate on those exercises that you can perform without pain. Exercises that can keep your aerobic fitness without pain are ideal.
Swimming. Being a former All-American swimmer, I can tell you first hand that swimming is a great way to stay in shape and to rebuild your aerobic capacity. This is of course practical only if you know how to swim. I would recommend 1500-3000 depending on your level of swimming expertise.
Elliptical: Concentrate on your cadence to get your legs used to your running pace. 90 strides per minute are ideal.
Water Running: Running in deep water with a floatation belt is another method of getting your arms and legs back into running motion. Your feet must not be able to hit the bottom of the pool. Make sure to hold your head high, and pump your arms. There are various techniques that you can study and try.
Power walk: Use the treadmill at 10-15 percent grade while walking at you maximum walking speed. Achilles tendon patients: Be aware that this exercise is not ideal for your injury.
Run-Walk: Alternative between running and walking allows you body time to get re-acclimated to running loads without stressing the foot and ankle to much.
When you are ready to return to running, you must stick to an organized plan. One thing to consider is environment. Treadmills, synthetic and cinder tracks, and trail running can be more forgiving on your feet. Depending on the injury, I usually recommend returning to about 50% of the typical load for the first week. If your foot/ankle responds with minimal to no pain, then you can add 10 percent distance to your runs per week. If your pain returns, then you should rest a couple of days and return to the previous weeks running load.


Subscribe to our homes mags to gain access to more inspiring homes and gardens, plus renovating, decorating, food and travel stories. You will have cabinets to store all your kitchen goods and food supplies on three walls. This imaginary triangle serves to help you design your kitchen in a manner that will reduce work and make you more efficient by keeping everything just close enough to be convenient. The nation's top builders, such as Stanton Homes, provide design teams who can help personalize your kitchen. If your L-shaped kitchen is large enough to accommodate one, an island is a great addition for entertaining and extra counter space. Now that the obstruction is gone it still has the problem of an enormous work triangle – you'd walk 10 miles each meal with this kitchen design. The floor plans with large kitchens and dining rooms are designed to accommodate your family and guests.
Island Floor Plan: This plan works best for larger kitchens, where the kitchen triangle might get spread too far across the room. In a minor remodel, or makeover, you normally change only the finishes, and perhaps swap out appliances for new ones, so the kitchen layout doesn't change. When you are deciding what type of kitchen flooring will be best for your family's needs, you need to think not only about price and style, but wear and tear on the kitchen flooring as well.
The basic idea is that any work station—whether a carpenter's bench or a kitchen work area—should be set up to accommodate the specific details of the work to be performed. This galley kitchen combines red and black colors with stainless steel finishes for a bold statement. Similar to a map the orientation of the view is downward from above, but unlike a conventional map , a plan is drawn at a particular vertical position (commonly at about 4 feet above the floor). The most common would be the one-wall or galley layout wherein the kitchen is positioned along one wall.
Add stunning interior details to your TurboCAD designs with TurboCAD 3D Interior Symbols Pack. Whether the kitchen is open or a separate room the host shouldn't be in there all night anyway. Before the open concept kitchen, once a month I'd scrub up the kitchen top to bottom. The open connection between kitchen and living area means there is little separation when it comes to noise and activity. As such, we can now enlarge the kitchen by moving the serving counter about six inches into the fellowship hall.

150 years of sawmilling in Seikku
UPM Timber's Seikku sawmill was established in Pori on the Kokemäenjoki River in 1872. The top sawmill in the autonomous Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire relied on waterways, steam and manpower, and the multidisciplinary background of its founder, industrial patron Fredrik Wilhelm Rosenlew. The world has changed in 150 years, but the Seikku sawmill continues to produce high-quality timber for today's demands.
The Seikku sawmill was founded by Fredrik Wilhelm Rosenlew with an English partner, as Rosenlew's other sawmill in Pori, the Isosanna sawmill, proved to be small and outdated. As an experienced businessman, Rosenlew could smell the coming boom, and the Seikku sawmill got off to an excellent start.
In its first full year of operation, the steam saw produced 25,000 cubic metres of timber. The work was physically demanding and intensive labour was needed both at the factory and the log driving operations. After several expansions, Finland's largest sawmill employed as many as 750 people in 1914, compared with around 200 in the early years.
Today, the sawmill is UPM Timber's largest sawmill, producing 400,000 cubic metres of spruce timber per year. In addition to 80 employees, the sawmill employs around 40 subcontractors.
"Modern efficiency is based on automation. For example, logs are analysed by X-ray and sorting is done mechanically", says Timo Lehtinen, Director at the Seikku sawmill.
Efficient use of raw materials
When the Seikku sawmill was established, the latest technology meant steam-powered, two-frame saws.
"Let the sawmill be a model saw alongside other sawmills", said Rosenlew.
The sawmill became the second industrial plant in Finland to be equipped with electric lights in 1882. At the turn of the century, condensate from the steam boilers was led to the log basin, allowing the sawing of ice-free logs even in winter.
Electric motors were introduced in 1913. Around the same time, sawmill by-products, such as bark, wood chips and sawdust, began to be used as raw material for the newly built box and pulp mills. Wood waste was used in the Aittaluoto power plant, and in the 1920s the processing chain also benefited a sack and bag factory that used kraft paper, among other things.
The surrounding factories closed down, but the sawmill continued. Today, the conveyor takes the bark and chips to the Pori's energy plant, and the by-products generate twice as much energy as Seikku needs to dry timber, for example. The wood chips are used by the UPM Rauma Paper Mills.
Through sports and music to the gourmet table
In the early days of the Seikku sawmill, sports and music created a spirit of togetherness. The people of the new and old sawmill measured their strength on the Yyteri ridge in racing boats. Handsome boat crews also performed at other folk festivals, and a gymnastics club was also created at the sawmill.
In addition, performing arts, singing and musical instrument playing were practised. Hard work took its toll, and after 12-hour days, singers could fall asleep during rehearsals, and the Sawmill Temperance Society, founded in 1874, fizzled out within a couple of years. The ensembles gained national recognition and performed in Sweden until the turn of the 20th century. The operation ended in 1917 when the employer and the workers' aspirations diverged.
Still held today, the Whitefish Festival is a special event originally held for the sawmill management at the end of the fishing season. The tradition started in its first year of operation and has only been missed a dozen times. In 1963, a scandal broke out when an attempt was made to stop the party due to cost considerations. Since then, staff were invited to the party, in addition to management, and now the party is organised for all sawmill employees.
Heavy labour is shifting to machines
In 1939, the Isosanna sawmill was closed down and production was concentrated in Seikku, where the sawmill line was modernised. Soon all Rosenlew's sawmilling operations were centralised in Seikku. After the war, the sawmill exported timber as war reparations to the Soviet Union until 1949. In 1951, small diesel locomotives began to move heavy timber wagons, which until then had been moved by manpower on rails.
The loading of ships at Reposaari and barge transport on the Kokemäenjoki River ended in 1957, when a storage shed was built in Mäntyluoto, where timber was transported by truck.
Seikku's sawmill was known for its steamy lumberyards, where the lumber, loaded by lumberjacks and timber millers, was dried in stacks. Artificial drying began in 1966, and the landscape changed forever in 1972, when all goods were artificially dried and replaced by forklift packages.
The 1960s and 70s were a time of technological innovation. After 90 years of logging, the sawmill switched to inland transport in 1967. A log sorter replaced the previously manpowered sorting in the water, and the new 25-tonne reacher unloaded the logs of a car or train wagon in a single lift.
In the early 1970s, the sawmill's downstream end was modernised and mechanised packaging was introduced. In the middle of the decade, the sawmill main line was renewed and a chipper and band saws were added. At the same time, many traditional operations, including hand loading, were eliminated.
In January 1975, the Kokemäenjoki River flooded and the Seikku sawmill suffered extensive damage, which was also inspected by President Urho Kekkonen. After the flood, an embankment was built in Aittaluoto.
UPM invests heavily
The Seikku sawmill was owned by the conglomerate Rosenlew until 1988, when Rosenlew merged with Rauma-Repola. From 1991, Seikku sawmill was part of Yhtyneet Sahat Oy, and in 1996 it became part of the UPM Kymmene Group.
Over the last couple of decades, the sawmill has been completely renovated. In addition to the new sawing line, for example, in 2015 the log sorting line was increased to 200 metres per minute, and its capacity can cope with significant expansions. The € 8.5 million investment included the introduction of X-ray equipment for sorting.
In the 2010s, the fresh sorting and levelling systems have also been upgraded and automated. Another important milestone was the drying plant renovation completed in 2019, which brought efficiency into a league of its own.
"The saw line is up-to-date and it is UPM's most efficient saw, which is something to be proud of", says Timo Lehtinen.
Increasingly personalised products for different markets
At one time, the Rosenlew company was also a shipbuilder and supplier, which made it natural to ship timber abroad. In the beginning, three quarters of the production was exported to England, until exports were divided in the 1910s, especially to the Netherlands and Germany.

Today, 80% of the Seikku sawmill's production is exported: extensively to Europe, especially France, Germany and Japan, China and Saudi Arabia. Domestically, Seikku's spruce timber is used by house builders and moulding manufacturers.
"There used to be more standard sizes. We now manufacture over 500 products in thickness, width and length. Quality requirements have constantly increased, as have customer expectations, and we have tried to meet them", Lehtinen says.
The story of the Seikku sawmill tells the story of the development of the Finnish sawmill industry and how it has always sought ways to make the best possible use of valuable wood. Such a story will carry gloriously well into the future.

The Kenyan government is on high alert following Ebola reports in DR Congo. The move comes after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared an Ebola outbreak on Friday, following one positive test in a laboratory in the capital Kinshasa.
Director of medical services Dr.Jackson Kioko on Tuesday, stated that they had re activated rapid response teams and would screen travelers from DRC. Holding rooms at the Jomo Kenyatta International airport have also been reactivated for suspected Ebola cases.
Dr. Kioko has assured Kenyans that so far there is no suspected case of Ebola virus in the country, however Kenyans should remain vigilant and look out for such illnesses and report to the nearest health facility. He added by stating that the ministry has adequate stock of personal protective equipment that are stored in strategic regional hospitals, which include at least 5,000 body suits used during such instances.
The new Ebola outbreak in the DRC is the first in the continent since 2013 where there was an outbreak in West Africa that killed 11,300.
WHO is working on sending an experimental vaccine to the DRC should the official require it to control the outbreak. So far 3 people of the suspected cases have died. This is the 8th outbreak in the country since the discovery of Ebola in 1976.

Stacy Schiff Wins 2014 BIO Award
Schiff would be incapable of writing a dull page or a lame sentence "even if forced to at gunpoint," said 2013 BIO Award winner Ron Chernow.
Stacy Schiff is the winner of the fifth annual BIO Award. BIO bestows this honor on a colleague who has made a major contribution to the advancement of the art and craft of biography. The award has previously been given to Jean Strouse, Robert Caro, Arnold Rampersad, and Ron Chernow.
Schiff will receive the honor during the 2014 Compleat Biographer Conference on May 17 at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she will deliver the keynote address.
"Through her writing, Schiff has been, and remains, an inspiration to biographers worldwide," said James McGrath Morris, president of BIO. "But also she demonstrated her devotion to biography through her willingness to lend her support when we first began to create our organization. She is a remarkably generous writer whose devotion to her art and craft extends beyond the written page."
Schiff is the author of Véra (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov), winner of the Pulitzer Prize; Saint-Exupéry, a Pulitzer Prize finalist; and A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America, winner of the George Washington Book Prize, the Ambassador Award in American Studies, and the Gilbert Chinard Prize of the Institut Français d'Amérique.
Her most recent book, Cleopatra: A Life, was published to great acclaim in 2010. Cleopatra appeared on most year-end best books lists, including the New York Times's Top Ten Books of 2010, and won the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for biography. A number-one bestselling book, Cleopatra was translated into 30 languages.
Praised for her meticulous scholarship and her witty style, Schiff has contributed frequently to the New York Times op-ed page and Book Review. A fellow at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, she was the recipient of an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was named a 2011 Library Lion of the New York Public Library.

Q: Negated implication arrows in tikzcd I have four properties A, B, C, D and I am trying
to summarize the logical implications between them into a single diagram. So far
I have the following picture but I would like to have some of the implication arrows to be negated (say, the arrows from A to C, A to D, B to A, C to D and B to D).

\documentclass{article}

    \arrow[Rightarrow, shift left=0.6ex]{ul}
    \arrow[Rightarrow, shift left=0.6ex]{u}
\end{tikzcd}
\end{document}

This is likely to be strongly related to this question, but I wonder if there is a simple solution, as it is a quite common situation.

A: Do you want to have something like this? The credits go to percusse in his answer here.
I optimized the usage of styles a bit and enlarged the image for non touching arrows. The diagonal arrows in the middle got shorten a bit, as this will look better here.

The commands of a government or occupyingThe commands of a government or occupying
The topic is whether a civil disobedience in a democracy is morally justified or not. Civil disobedience has been a long period issue which continues today to resolve a confrontation between individual rights and a political authority. The significance of this report is that the freedom and the protection of every citizen be affected by the civil disobedience in a democracy. Thus, people have various perspectives on this topic whether it is morally justified or not. Civil disobedience is defined by Britannica dictionary such as "refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition". Non-violent actions are the range of civil disobedience to clarify the definition. A democracy is defined as "the belief in freedom and equality between people, or a system of government based on this belief, in which power is either held by elected representatives or directly by the people themselves" by Cambridge dictionary. "Civil disobedience" was first used in a book "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau (1817~1862). Thoreau was once imprisoned by the government but continued refusing them. The term "civil disobedience" was further used by Mahatma Gandhi (1869~1948) and Martin Luther King Jr. (1929~1968). Gandhi started the campaign in 1906 to defend the civil rights of the disenfranchised Indian immigrants before he read Thoreau's book. King Jr. who was also imprisoned (Birmingham jail) started civil rights movements for an unjust segregation law in the United States after he was impressed by Gandhi. Since then, civil disobedience created a social change with different topics such as "trades and business activity", "tax resistance", "labor resistance", "anti-nuclear weapons movement", etc. Some civil disobedience is continuing today with an opposition from the government.From an affirmative side, civil disobedience creates a chance for human rights to be heard, reformed, and protected in a democracy. For example, "anti-war movements" and "labor laws and unions" altered the society in the United States. In 1849, Thoreau resisted participating in the war between the United States and Mexico which was the start of the anti-war movement. The U.S nations protested its participation in Nicaragua and Central America. These actions refused to be in the military, pay for the military, and to be recruited in the military. "Labor laws and unions" protected human rights by strikes like 10-months strikes or sit-down strikes. People fought for abolishing child labor and to improve working environments/hours. Civil disobedience leads the government in a direct but nonviolent way which makes a democracy. Everybody has equal human rights and therefore, anyone has a right to stand out for injustice. Also, it is an effective way for the voice to be heard in a public where the authorities lie in powerful groups of people who control the country. Thus, civil disobedience should be morally justified. To negate the topic, democracy is already a system where a majority of people's opinion is reflected. The government is based on the citizen's belief and citizens are the one who chose the form of democracy. After that, the government should be the one who takes the ability to make the decision and to protect citizens. Some authorities are significant for the country to achieve its goals within the democracy, but if those authorities are disturbed by citizens democratic government will not be able to do so. Another point is that civil disobedience has a possibility to be coercive. One example is the "anti-war movements" of the U.S involvement in the Vietnam war. The movement was supposed to be peaceful and non-violent, however, some events were deliberately coercive and violent. These violent actions taken by citizens makes a gap between the government and the citizens. Thus, civil disobedience makes difficult for the country to be united and the government to accomplish their policies. So, civil disobedience which can lead to a violent action must not be morally justified.

Elite Personal Training's fully qualified personal training staff are available Monday to Saturday to motivate and guide you to achieving your ideal body shape and other health and fitness goals. After an initial sit-down session with a trainer, you will be given an individually tailored exercise and eating plan to help you make healthy sustainable lifelong lifestyle changes.
PT sessions usually take place in our personal training studio/boutique gym but can also take place in the wonderful surrounds of the beach, adjacent parklands, The Esplanade and the rooftop located near the gym.
The whole point of personal training is that it is tailored to suit the individual's needs, goals and lifestyle. Ideally, to gain the most benefit from your resistance training (weights), you should do at least two weight training sessions per week.
Some clients opt to do two sessions per week with a trainer; or they do one with a trainer and one on their own. Others have a program and/or assessment every 4-6 weeks and train on their own between programming. It is an individualised approach, not a one size fits all.
Professional, personalised training and programming, including resistance program and cardio and nutrition advice.
In your initial one-hour session, your trainer will do a physical assessment as well as providing extensive information and designing a training and nutrition plan specifically for you. This is a very important session and helps you to get results immediately.
Weekly walk/jog/run clubs (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays) are FREE with personal training.
Clients are also able to use the facility (both gym/cardio and pool) immediately before and/or after their PT session.
Personal training clients also get one free boxing session per week in the week they do their personal training.
Studio Membership is available to weekly PT clients for $47.67/month. For more information, click here.


Seismic exploration is a powerful tool for imaging the structure of the Earth and has been instrumental in understanding the complexity of subsurface geology. Major advances have been made in recent years and new concepts developed thanks to seismic exploration and numerical modelling techniques, but significant problems, and ambiguities in geological interpretation of data remain. This session seeks contributions directly related to the practice of interpretation of the Earth's subsurface structure using seismic exploration or other geophysical techniques, or combining geological observations with numerical modelling approaches. The session will address problems related to fault structure, fluid-rock interactions using time lapse imaging and more generally basin and tectonic analysis. Contributions may include submissions that advance geophysical or geological concepts, and principles of seismic interpretation; correlation with and calibration by geological and engineering data; case studies; algorithms for interpretation; image processing and forward modelling techniques. Contributions that describe interpretation methods and applications involving an integration of multiple datasets to quantify as well as visualize subsurface structure are strongly encouraged. Presentations that focus on the CO2 sequestration, basin exploration and extraction of mineral resources, and environmental and engineering applications using seismic datasets, and coupled geological observations with numerical experiments are welcomed.


The father of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani, whose killing on July 8 sparked off violent protests in Jammu and Kashmir, met spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at his ashram in Bengaluru on Saturday.
The news of the meeting was also retweeted by the Art of Living foundation.
"Mr Muzaffar Wani was in the ashram for two days. Certainly, Sri Sri and Mr Wani discussed about the current situation, about the suffering and how peace and normalcy can be restored in the Valley. It was purely on a personal and humanitarian angle," a statement from Art of Living read.
"I had gone there for treatment and stayed in the ashram to seek care for some 'ailment'," Mr Wani said after the meeting.
"He (Sri Sri) did not ask me anything else. He just talked to me for five minutes or so at the most," Mr Wani told Kashmir Reader over the phone from his home in Kashmir's Tral after returning from Bengaluru.
"I came back with some medicines for myself. That is all," Muzaffar Wani said.
More than 70 people have been killed and 11,000 injured in clashes among protesters and security forces since the killing of Burhan Wani, a terrorist with a large following, in Jammu and Kashmir last month.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi on Saturday and presented a three-point action plan, which includes substantive dialogue with "all stakeholders" including the separatists, to end the current unrest in the state.
Last Week, during his visit to Srinagar, Home Minister Rajnath Singh had said that the Centre is open to talks with all stakeholders in Kashmir, but declined to answer when asked whether he included the Hurriyat as a stakeholder.


Brown spots are a type of skin condition that occurs naturally as we age. As much as it is a natural process, most people find these spots unattractive and most for cosmetic reasons will do anything to have them removed or disappear. These spots also called age spots, liver spots or sun sun spots are as a result of constant exposure to the sun.
Brown spots are versatile in that they can be formed as a result of any other skin condition such as freckles, moles, melasma, lentigo, keratosis and many other pigmentation related skin conditions. It is very important to know the cause of the brown spots as it may be dangerous and you may not know it. There have been cases of simple skin conditions being left untreated only for them to develop into cancer. Brown spots are said to be more evident during the summer as compared to winter. This may be because the sun's rays serve to darken the spots making them more pronounced.
Brown spots can also occur when there's an imbalance of melanin. This is the pigment responsible for giving the skin its color. The more the melanin is produced the darker the skin and the less the melanin, the lighter the skin. If for any reason there was an internal factor that caused the melanin production to increase it would then result in darker skin. The excess melanin may not be deposited evenly throughout the skin but may cluster and form in certain areas. This may lead to brown spots forming.
The old saying that prevention is better than cure is still applied in many medical fields including this case. If you anticipate that you will be exposed to too much sunlight, take precautions to protect your skin. Use sunscreen lotion and wear large hats. This will help reduce the chances of dark spots forming. Use cosmetics that contain antioxidants as they are natural bleaches and will help keep the skin looking even.
How Can Brown Spots be Faded Quickly?

CAC Accountability Initiative
Conflict Dynamics International's Children in Armed Conflict (CAC) Accountability Initiative promotes timely and effective accountability for serious violations of international law committed against children in armed conflict. This includes judicial and non-judicial responses intended to redress past violations and prevent future violations. As part of this initiative, Conflict Dynamics is developing a set of resources to support practitioners and policymakers to advance accountability:
the Children in Armed Conflict Accountability Framework and accompanying country case examples [2015]
the Children in Armed Conflict Accountability Resource Database
a series of forthcoming technical tools.
These resources build on Conflict Dynamics' previous work in this area which includes the publication of Bridging the Accountability Gap: New Approaches to Addressing Violations against Children in Armed Conflict [2011] and Strengthening Protection of Children Through Accountability: The role of the UN Security Council in holding to account persistent violators of children's rights and protections in situations of armed conflict [2009].
The Children in Armed Conflict Accountability Initiative is funded in part by the German Federal Foreign Office.
Conflict Dynamics International is an independent, not for profit organization founded to prevent and resolve violent conflict between and within states, and to alleviate human suffering resulting from conflicts and other crises around the world. Since its establishment, Conflict Dynamics has focused on developing new approaches to strengthen the protection of children affected by armed conflict and this issue remains a core element of the organization's New Frontiers in Humanitarian Policy Program.

The story of a collaborative project in Kingston/Galloway/Orton Park.
If you missed out on Subtext Multi-Arts Festival 2011, check out this video to get a peek at performers, artists, community groups and members taking part in this celebration of community, arts and green initiatives. This was the second year for the festival in the Kingston-Galloway/Orton Park neighbourhood. The under-the-bridge-festival had something to offer for all who attended.
Our final weeks have been very rewarding. After working entirely on silhouetted background images in a dark gray colour, we finally brought in some bright orange-red colour for accents and our stencils. People who pass by us every day have been requesting some colour and, boy, do we have colour now! We have picked a variety of poems from the community and quotes to add to the imagery, so there is an almost endless display of things to see and read as you walk along the bridge now.
This is our first stencil on the bridge!
The length of the bridge was finished just in the nick of time this Friday, and was appreciated by the many who came to the Subtext Multi-Arts festival under the bridge this past weekend. It is so encouraging to be a part of the many arts projects taking place in such a diverse and talented community and know our work will be cherished for many years to come.
Although we are all proud to be completed such a huge task, we will miss our long days working together with the team and volunteers, and getting to know the people who pass by the bridge every day.
Thank you to all the kind words and support, and if you haven't seen the final product, come on by!
Hello again from 'The Bridge' team!
This is our second week working on site and things are going slow but steady. We have finished the background silhouettes for almost half the Bridge (it's 870 feet long!), and once the background is finished we will be stencilling our words for 'echoes'. We have 10 themes that will run along the bridge: Welcoming Diversity, Celebrating Culture, Community members and places, Nature and Environment, Fantasy and Dreamland, Family and Home, Playing Games and Toys, Activities,School and Education, and Inspiration/Success.
We have had some very hot days and a few rainy ones we have persevered through, but today we are working inside because of the rain. The nearby community has been very welcoming and interested in our work. Many people honk as they pass by, and those walking by usually give some encouraging words or to ask about what we are doing. Someone even interviewed us for their 'Toronto City Walks' blog (www.neighbourhoodwalks.wordpress.com), which we will appear in soon. If you are in the area, come by and say hi, I guarantee we will enjoy the chance for a break to chat!
Our group has been hard at work with this expressive text-based project, Echoes (working title). We began by collaborating with Jumblies Theatre group, who have spent the past few months collecting words and phrases from a variety of local community members. Our group participated in a collective session just like the community had. Jumblies asked us to express our "badland," "goodland" and "dreamland"; in the process we learnt about others' fears, dislikes, appreciation, loves, and our dreams for our community.
From this large collection of words, our group has focused on the positive aspects of the local community, echoing these collected words and phrases through creating a unique text expression for each word. The process has been long but the hard work will pay off, we have made hundreds of stencils and are very excited to begin work on-site at the bridge next week!
TBMTers, Stay in the Loop!
The Arts, the Environment and You!
Please join us and be a part of the Bridging Project. Become a follower on the Blog. Come out during the summer on weekdays to meet the young artists at work on the bridge. Enjoy the excitement and festivities of the "under the bridge" events Septemeber 10 to 12. Send us your comments by email to kgoblogger@gmail.com or drop them in the comment box that will be placed at the East Scarborough Storefront during July and August. Together we can make creative connections while we celebrate the community.

If you're new here, let me start out by saying that not all steak is the same. You can't just expect any steak to turn out tender and juicy just by tossing it on the grill for a few minutes. You have to really know how to treat it right.
Prime rib and ribeye are two superior cuts that you can count on to deliver excellent flavor, but you still have to know how to season it and which way to cook it in order to draw out the natural qualities of the meat.
These two cuts have a lot in common, but you'll be surprised at some of their differences, too.
Main Differences Between Prime Rib and Ribeye
The main differences between prime rib and ribeye are:
The prime rib is a large primal cut of beef, whereas the ribeye is a smaller section taken from between the sixth and twelfth rib.
The prime rib contains a lot of fat and connective tissue making it very juicy and tender, whereas the ribeye contains a moderate amount.
The prime rib is more commonly roasted, whereas the ribeye is usually grilled.
The prime rib more expensive per unit but cheaper per pound, whereas the ribeye is more expensive per pound.
Prime rib is best served at rare to medium-rare, whereas the ribeye is very forgiving and can be cooked up to medium-well.
Prime rib is a large, beef rib roasting joint. It's a bone-in, primal cut taken from the beef carcass, meaning it's the large section of rib that they take other, smaller cuts from. Ribeye, tenderloin, and filet mignon are cuts that also come from this section.
Prime rib is also known as beef rib roast or standing rib roast. It's a very large section of meat meant for roasting rather than grilling or searing, although you can grill or sear the outer edges before roasting if you like.
The term standing rib roast comes from how it's most often roasted with the ribs stacked vertically. This allows the flavors from the fat cap to flow downward through the entire joint when cooking.
The prime rib is a large section of meat surrounding the rib. It's a bone-in cut that still contains the ribs, muscle, and fat surrounding it. It's marbled elegantly throughout with a large section of fat at one end.
The prime rib is a large cut of beef. Its texture varies throughout. It has a thin layer of skin across the top, covering the ribs, with marbling throughout. It also has a decent amount of fat, making it tender and juicy. It's a popular cut to use in au jus.
The prime rib has a very rich, pronounced, meaty flavor. The presence of bone, connective tissue, and fat make that flavor stronger than other cuts that have less of these. Roasting as a method of cooking also tends to preserve these flavors better than grilling.
Prime rib generally costs quite a bit, but that's because it's a very large chunk of meat. You'll pay less per pound buying it this way than you will many other cuts of meat. However, if you don't have room to roast that much meat, it may not be worth the savings.
On the other hand, if you are feeding a large family for the holidays, it's well worth paying a few hundred dollars for a large cut that will feel everyone when roasted to perfection.
If you're purchasing a large portion of prime rib from the butcher, you're likely going to get at least four pounds at a time. You could get as many as eight pounds or more, depending on how big the section was cut.
If you're ordering prime rib at a restaurant, you'll be able to get it in much smaller sections because it's much easier for a restaurant to roast a large portion of meat and then slice it into smaller sections and serve it up.
Cooking a prime rib
Prime rib is generally roasted rather than grilled. It's roasted slowly at a very low temperature until the meat is 130-140°F.
Depending on your personal preferences, there are plenty of ways you can season it. You can use dry rubs or marinades, and you can use a lot of different techniques for roasting. There are even many different recipes that involve other ingredients in the roast to add flavors.
However, the most common technique is to sear the outside of the prime rib before roasting at 200°F for about five hours.
A prime rib tastes excellent anywhere from rare to medium-rare. It shouldn't be cooked any longer than that or the fat will melt off, leaving the meat dry, tough, and chewy.
Can be hard to cook due to large size
The ribeye's name comes from the section of beef from where it's cut and the way it looks. It's taken from the rib and it has a swirl of fat that marbles in the shape of an eye in the middle of the meat. Sometimes it has a bone and sometimes it doesn't, depending on how the butcher cuts it.
This cut comes from the same section as the prime rib, but rather than cooking it as a whole roast, it's cut into separate steaks and grilled.
Just like some cuts contain a bone and some don't, each ribeye can contain a different muscle, depending on how they're cut. Some have dorsal, long, or spinal muscles. They're a mixture of tender and tough meat with excellent fat content and marbling to give them great juicy flavor.
The ribeye has so much fantastic natural flavor that it needs a very little seasoning. Just a little salt and pepper is enough to bring out the flavors on the grill, and it's one of steak lover's favorite cuts.
The ribeye is cut between 8 and 12 ounces and is typically an inch or an inch and a half thick. It's marbled with fat and tissues, which contributes to its great flavor, and if it's grilled properly, it's not chewy or hard to eat.
In addition to the white fat throughout, you'll also see strips of fat around the edges.
Fat does interesting things to meat. Fat is chewy, but depending upon the fat content, how it's distributed, and how it's cooked, it can make the steak very tender. The ribeye is a great example of this.
When cooked correctly, the fat in the ribeye lends plenty of flavors and makes the steak very juicy and tender. It's not quite as tender as a filet mignon, but it offers a great balance between flavor and texture.
Ribeyes are very meaty. This is a well-exercised muscle, so it's had time to develop more taste. It's strong, rich, and fleshy, dominating everything else on the plate.
You can still serve it with plenty of other flavorful foods, but the flavors should complement each other rather them compete for attention on the plate.
Ribeye is pleasantly affordable. While it's not the cheapest cut, you'll find great value in its tenderness and flavor. You're definitely getting your money's worth here.
Most restaurants will serve ribeye steaks between 8 and 12 ounces. It's hearty and filling, so you don't need a lot of sides to go with it. You may even want to err on the side of caution and order the smaller size if you want to save room for dessert.
A ribeye should never be thinner than one inch. 1.5 inches is even better. It will cook up better, have a better mouthfeel, and the flavor will be more intense. Don't trim the fat off unless there's a protrusion that you fear will char.
Let the steak rest on the counter for at least 30 minutes, if not an hour before cooking. This takes the chill off, which allows the steak to cook more evenly, preserving the flavor and preventing a loss of juice.
There's no reason to add any flavor to your ribeye unless you just want to. Salt and pepper is plenty to draw out the natural flavors of the meat. However, if you want a little something extra, you can use a dry rub.
Cooking a ribeye requires a two-zone cooking space. Turn one burner to medium-high heat, or slide your coals over to one side of the grill. Turn the other burner on low. This makes one side of your grill hot and the other cooler.
Once your hot side is, well, hot, place your ribeye directly over the heat. Sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side. If you like your steak medium-rare, you can pull them off and let them sit for 5 minutes. The carryover cooking will pink them up nicely for you.
If you like them a bit more done, move your steak to the cooler side of the grill so you can allow them to finish cooking without burning the exterior.
The excess fat on a ribeye will catch fire more easily than less fatty steaks, so make sure you monitor your ribeyes closely to prevent flare-ups.
Fat content can cause flare-ups
Prime Rib Ribeye
Size Large Medium to large
Fat content Moderate to high Moderate to high
Weight 4-8 pounds 8-12 ounces
Servings per cut 12-16 2
Location on cow Ribs Upper central ribs
Saturated fat (3oz serving) 9.3 grams 2.8 grams
Protein (3oz serving) 19.2 grams 26 grams
While prime rib and ribeye are very similar, it can be confusing trying to understand the difference. Here are some frequently asked questions about prime rib and ribeye to help set the record straight.
Which is better, ribeye or prime rib?
Prime rib is a bigger cut of meat that will feed more people, and it still contains the ribeye area, too. Plus, cooking with the bone in keeps the meat more tender and juicy. However, keep in mind that some ribeyes are cut with the bone in, so you can enjoy a smaller cut of excellent meat.
Is prime rib better than steak?
It all comes down to how you like your meat cooked. If you're comparing the prime rib to a sirloin, porterhouse, or strip, the prime rib is much more tender while still offering the meaty flavor you love.
However, many steak enthusiasts enjoy the taste of a steak fresh off the grill, and if that's the case, you'll want to opt for a steak. You can choose a ribeye for that same great prime rib flavor in the form of a steak.
Why is prime rib served rare?
You should never cook prime rib past medium, but it's best at rare or medium-rare. That's because if you cook meat like prime rib for too long, the fat will melt out, which leaves the meat dry, tough, and chewy.
If you prefer your steak on the grill, you'll want to opt for the ribeye. It's tender and juicy with rich and hearty meat flavor. It's part of the prime rib cut, so you're getting some of the best of the prime rib in a smaller, more manageable cut.
Not to mention, it's a forgiving piece, so if you grill it just a bit too much, it will still taste delicious. Because it has so much natural flavor, you won't need to season it much, but you still can if you'd like to.
If you're up for the challenge, get a prime rib, and try your luck. It's not hard, but it does take a lot of room and a bit of finesse. These large cuts are best roasted at low temperatures for several hours.
You can rub them with your favorite seasonings, and it's common to sear the outside before roasting. It's incredibly tender and delicious and great with vegetables and potatoes as well as in a sandwich with the au jus from your roasting pan.

Lilly to Acquire Armo BioSciences for $1.6B

Eli Lilly plans to acquire Armo BioSciences for approximately $1.6 billion, the companies said today, in a deal that builds the buyer's immuno-oncology pipeline with a Phase III pancreatic cancer candidate that is also being developed to treat other solid tumors.
AM0010 (pegilodecakin), a long-acting form of recombinant human interleukin 10 (IL-10) linked to polyethylene glycol (PEG), is now under study in the Phase III Sequoia trial (NCT02923921), designed to compare the treatment's efficacy in combination with the chemotherapy drug combination FOLFOX (oxaliplatin with fluorouracil and folinic acid) versus FOLFOX alone in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer as measured by overall survival (OS).
The Sequoia trial has an estimated enrollment of 566 participants and was recruiting patients as of April 26, with an estimated primary completion date of January 2019, according to ClinicalTrials.gov.
AM0010 is also in a pair of Phase II clinical studies, each comparing it in combination with a different anti-programmed death cell death protein 1 (PD-1) checkpoint inhibitor versus that checkpoint inhibitor alone in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer as measured by objective response rate. Cypress 1 combines AM0010 with Merck & Co.'s marketed cancer immunotherapy Keytruda® (pembrolizumab) (NCT03382899), while Cypress 2 combines AM0010 with Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo® (nivolumab) (NCT03382912).
According to Armo, AM0010 has demonstrated clinical benefit as a single agent and in combination with both chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibitor therapy. In a Phase I/Ib clinical trial in 350 cancer patients across more than 14 different types of cancer (NCT02009449), Armo said, AM0010 showed the ability to increase the number of activated CD8+ T cells in the blood and tumors of patients and achieve objective tumor responses, including partial and complete responses, in patients treated with AM0010 as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs or anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors.
"The acquisition of Armo BioSciences adds a promising next-generation clinical immunotherapy asset to Lilly's portfolio of innovative oncology medicines," Sue Mahony, Ph.D., Lilly SVP and president of Lilly Oncology, said in a statement.
Added Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., SVP, global development and medical affairs, Lilly Oncology: "As we develop our immuno-oncology portfolio, Lilly will pursue medicines that use the body's immune system in new ways to treat cancer."
Doubling Down on Oncology
Lilly's acquisition of Armo is the buyer's latest action aimed at strengthening its oncology pipeline, which the pharma giant committed to overhauling last year—and doubled down on early last week. On April 30, Lilly announced the appointment of Leena Gandhi, M.D., Ph.D., to lead Lilly Oncology's immuno-oncology development efforts, effective June 25. Dr. Ghandi is now director of thoracic medical oncology and an associate professor of medicine at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine.
Earlier this year, Lilly launched the breast cancer treatment VerzenioTM (abemaciclib) following FDA approval. Verzenio is indicated in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine-based therapy to treat postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2–) advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Verzenio generated $29.7 million in revenue during the first quarter.
In October 2017, Lilly launched an up-to-$1.795 billion-plus collaboration with CureVac to develop and commercialize up to five cancer vaccines based on CureVac's RNActive® technology. Earlier last year, Lilly partnered with Cancer Research UK on a Phase I trial for the cell division cycle 7 kinase inhibitor LY3143921 hydrate.
And in December at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Immuno-Oncology Congress 2017, Armo presented positive Phase I data showing that in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma AM0010 induced durable objective tumor responses as a monotherapy with an overall response rate (ORR) of 25% (4 of 16 patients), and achieved an ORR of 41% (14 of 34 patients) when used in combination with Keytruda and Opdivo, with no significant increase in the adverse event profile over either agent as a monotherapy.
Armo also reported a median progression free survival (PFS) of 16.7 months in eight later-stage metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients treated with AM0010 plus Keytruda, but said median progression-free survival (PFS) had not been reached for the 29 patients treated with AM0010 plus Opdivo. Median OS had not yet been reached for either cohort after median follow-up times of 29.4 months and 13.8 months, respectively.
AM0010 has received orphan drug designations from the FDA and European Commission, as well as the FDA's Fast Track designation in combination with FOLFOX as a second-line therapy in pancreatic cancer patients.
Preclinical Pipeline
Armo's immune-oncology pipeline also includes several preclinical candidates—AM0001, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody; AM0003, an anti-LAG-3 checkpoint inhibitor; AM0015, a form of recombinant human interleukin-15 (IL-15); and AM0012, a form of recombinant human interleukin-12 (IL-12).
"Armo is proud of the work we have done to advance the study of immunotherapies and of the development of pegilodecakin to-date," stated Peter Van Vlasselaer, Ph.D., Armo's president and CEO. "Given the resources that Lilly, a leader in oncology R&D, can bring to bear to maximize the value of pegilodecakin and the rest of the Armo pipeline, we believe it is in the best interest of Armo, our stockholders, and the patients we serve to execute this transaction."
Lilly has agreed to "promptly" commence a tender offer, the companies said, to acquire all shares of Armo for $50 per share in cash—a 68% premium over the company's closing stock price yesterday of $29.82 on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Since then, shares of Armo surged 67% in premarket trading, to $49.71 as of 9:14 a.m.
Based in Redwood City, CA, Armo rang out 2017 by filing for an initial public offering. The company went public on January 26, generating net proceeds of approximately $133.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2018, Lilly and Armo said, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of Armo's common stock. Lilly said it will acquire "very shortly after the closing of the tender offer" any shares of Armo that are not tendered into the tender offer through a second-step merger at the tender offer price.
Lilly said it will not change its 2018 non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) guidance as a result of the Armo acquisition. Lilly raised its 2018 guidance to investors on April 24 after reporting what it termed strong first-quarter results, increasing its non-GAAP EPS forecast range to between $5.10 to $5.20 per share, from $4.81 to $4.91.

RCAF fighter pilots are forbidden from dropping bombs below 1,000 feet
by Dario Leone Jan 27 2019
written by Dario Leone Jan 27 2019
RCAF fighter pilot from 4 Wing Cold Lake was given a $2000 fine by a military court for flying below that altitude during a training mission to drop inert bombs
An investigation into the crash of a CF-18 on Nov. 28, 2016 has revealed that according to the National Defence Flying Orders Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) fighter pilots are not allowed to fly below 1,000 feet except when on an approach, take-off or landing.
Capt. Christopher Mileusnic from 4 Wing Cold Lake was given a $2000 fine by a military court for flying below that altitude during a training mission to drop inert bombs. His wingman, Capt. Thomas McQueen, was killed in a crash during the same mission.
However, as reported by Edmonton Journal, Military Judge Lt.-Col. Louis-Vincent d'Auteuil said imposing the maximum sentence, given the circumstances, would be absurd.
The two men's mission was to practice dropping two Mark 83 inert bombs followed by two laser-guided training rounds in the range. Their plan, which they discussed before taking flight, was to deploy weapons from 600 feet above ground.
Unbeknownst to both Mileusnic and McQueen, dropping weapons from altitudes below 1,000 feet was not authorized, the court heard.
A subsequent flight safety report that followed McQueen's crash revealed that the two men were not the only CF-18 pilots from the same unit who weren't aware of the 1,000 feet flying minimum, although the report did not attempt to conclude just how "widespread the practice of dropping weapons from below 1,000 feet was, but it did occur on training missions other than the accident flight."
At least one other pilot observed that Mileusnic and McQueen had been planning 600-feet bomb deliveries but did not see this as being against regulations.
Towards what would be the end of their mission, McQueen assumed the lead from Mileusnic, dropping a laser-guided training round. Shortly, after dropping the weapon, McQueen, 29, crashed into the terrain and died instantly, the court heard.
Before impact, he had flown toward his target at approximately 500 feet above ground with Mileusnic flying only a few miles behind him.
Mileusnic radioed a Mayday call and remained flying over the crash site as the "on scene commander" until he was relieved by another fighter jet that had been close by, the court heard.
Although d'Auteuil accepted Mileusnic's guilty plea after hearing the circumstances surrounding the mission Mileusnic led that day, he reiterated the findings of the flight safety report, which did not find Mileusnic responsible for what happened to McQueen, as none of the mission lead's actions or decisions that day contributed to the crash.
The report concluded that pilot distraction on the part of McQueen was likely to blame for his death and that "low-altitude flying did increase the risk level, but did not necessarily lead to the accident."

Clarity Partners is honored to be named #46 on the Crain's Chicago Business 2018 list of Best Places to Work in Chicago. The ranked order was released at a luncheon held for all finalists on April 12, 2018.
Since 2008 Crain's has surveyed Chicago employees and highlighted local businesses that have excelled in creating quality workplaces, considering everything from workplace to benefits to company culture. From Crain's most recent survey of 8,800 employees at Chicago-based companies, Clarity was recognized as a top 100 finalist for the Best Places to Work list on March 26.
The Crain's survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the 100 best companies to work for in Chicago. The full ranking – which includes two lists that spotlight the employers who rank especially high among women and baby boomers – will also be featured in the April 16 print issue of Crain's.
Determining the Best Places to Work in Chicago involved a two-step process. The first step consisted of evaluating each participating company's workplace policies, practices and demographics. This part of the process was worth about 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of employee surveys aimed at assessing the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace, worth about 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the best companies and the final ranking.
Crain's partnered with Best Companies Group to manage the overall registration and survey process, and then analyze the data to determine the final ranking.
Best Places to Work in Chicago is a yearly regional program sponsored by Crain's Chicago Business, that seeks to identify and recognize the best places to work in Chicago. The program is open to publicly or privately held companies that have at least 25 employees, a facility in Chicago, and have been in business for at least one year.

Dana Buoy covers Fleetwood Mac
While crafting a Selector feature for us (running later in the month), Dana Buoy joked of covering Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance". It prompted us suggest he stop talking about it and be about it. He took us up on the challenge, but conceded to leave "Buffalo Stance" to Neneh.
We would have been bummed had Dana not smoothed things over with an auto-tuned cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1987 single "Everywhere". We like to think that while the Akron/Family drummer turned soloist recorded his take on a Christine McVie classic, he was giving the middle finger to a framed photo of T-Pain propped on a stool in the vocal booth. Buoy's cover feels like a momentous occasion, a feeling owed to McVie's romantic declarations and Buoy's bursting vocals. It just sounds like a track you tune to on the FM dial, while you're nestled up in a blanket watching fireworks boom to Buoy's "whooa-ohhs".
It should also be noted that the "Everywhere" cover was played for my dad, a Fleetwood fan since day one who's never shy to state he'll take Christine over Stevie any day, and that he approved. It should also be noted this cover has nothing to do with Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute To Fleetwood Mac.

If you're looking for an interesting career that allows you to make a big impact on the world around you, consider a job as a crane operator. These professionals use complex equipment to lift and transport extremely heavy items from one place to another, often during construction operations. If you stop and think about it, crane operators likely played a large role in many of the buildings and structures you see every day. If you're weighing the pros and cons of a variety of career paths, one factor you'll likely want to consider is the expected pay of each job. The salary for a crane operator varies, depending on experience and geographic location.
As the name suggests, crane operators primarily use cranes to help transport heavy materials and equipment from place to place during construction jobs. They work a variety of shifts, depending on the needs of the project they're working on, and may even work overnight shifts. This is a highly specialized role found on many construction sites.
Though education requirements vary from company to company, generally speaking, no formal education is required to become a crane operator. Some hiring managers may prefer a high school diploma or equivalent. Much of the training for this position comes on the job. If you want to boost your resume, there is such a thing as crane operator school – a quick internet search will help you find a program near you to earn a certificate.
A crane operator typically works in the construction industry. This job is often included as a subcategory of the field of material moving machine operators by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If you're considering a career as a crane operator, you are likely curious about how much money you can make in this field. According to the most recent data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, crane operators make an average salary of $55,690 per year. This translates to an average hourly wage of $26.78.
Of course, wages vary depending on years of experience and the geographic location of the position. To get a higher crane operator salary, it may be advantageous to move to states that offer the highest-paying jobs. For example, the top-paying crane operator jobs can be found in New York, where the average salary is $103,530. The next highest-paying state for this field is New Hampshire, with an average annual salary of $90,380.
If you're considering a career as a crane operator, you'll be excited to know that this field is expected to grow in the coming years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the field of construction equipment operators will expand by 12 percent between now and 2026, which is faster than the expected growth rate of other professions. In real numbers, this means that an expected 52,700 new jobs will be created in this field in the coming years, which is good news if you are just entering the job market.

How do I Become a Crane Operator in Canada?


A popular music-bar in the heart of newly-hip Krudy Gyula. It's part of a gorgeous faux Mongolian courtyard that includes other bars, a Buddhist bookshop and a music centre. Large and spacious with the kind of thick wooden tables that are de rigeur in Budapest, it's loud and fun and popular with partying groups of boozers. Space at the bar is hard to come by but queuing up to order a jug of wine or beer gives you an excuse to stand next to some lovely young club-type you just spotted from the distance.


On their Facebook page, Waxhaw police said someone may have taken the statue after it had come loose.
Union County Crime Stoppers posted that it is offering a reward for the return of the statue. Anyone with information about the missing statue is asked to call Waxhaw police at 704-843-0353 or Crime Stoppers at 704-283-5600.

Illegal Aliens Hire Deep State Law Firm to Sue Trump Administration for Damages After Being Deported
Two illegal aliens sued the Trump Administration for damages suffered after they were deported from the United States.
The two illegal aliens hired the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Covington & Burling, a far left law firm, to file their claims.
The illegals now are suing for being sent home.
Unreal.
Separated Families Seek Damages for Harm Suffered
Due to Trump Administration Policy
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two fathers who were forcibly separated from their young children by immigration officials have filed administrative claims against the United States to seek compensation for the lasting harm caused by the Trump administration's family separation policy. The claims, on behalf of families who will continue to suffer damage to their mental, physical and emotional health for years to come, are the latest in a series filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and Covington & Burling.
"Thousands of children and parents will live with intense trauma the rest of their lives as a result of this policy, which the administration knew would leave indelible scars on these families," said Michelle Lapointe, senior supervising attorney at the SPLC. "The government must be held accountable for its actions and it must put a stop to this practice once and for all."
The filings detail the cruelty of both the practice of family separation and the treatment of these families while in federal custody. As has been well-documented, the intent of the family separations was to deter future migrants by deliberately subjecting immigrants in custody to harsh conditions that would ensure their suffering. The dehumanization of these families and other migrants is evident in the accounts of their treatment while in government custody.
The physical and emotional torment were so much for one of the fathers, J.D.G – who fled Guatemala with his 11-old-daughter in fear of their safety following the rape of another young family member – that he contemplated suicide. The filing describes the physical and psychological cruelty the two faced while in custody together. This included the lack of any sort of medical care while his daughter was clearly ill, the physical separation and months of uncertainty, and then the ongoing struggle as a result of the ordeal.
The other father, E.A.S.M., and his 11-year-old son also fled Guatemala after threats and an attempt on his life. The claim details the poor conditions they faced while in custody together, the torment of their forcible physical separation, the weeks of agony while separated and the ongoing impact of their ordeal.
Both claims demonstrate the devastating impact of forcible parent-child separations, which have long been known to cause significant short- and long-term damage to mental, physical and emotional health.
Despite the clear harm of separation in the name of deterrence, the government indiscriminately tore immigrant children from their parents; sent children hundreds or thousands of miles away; refused to inform parents and children of each other's whereabouts or well-being; refused to provide adequate means for parents and children to talk with each other; and failed to have any system for tracking the children or ensuring that families could ever be reunited.
These administrative claims are the first step toward holding the government accountable for the separations and the resulting serious trauma and suffering of the affected families. If the government fails to respond within six months or rejects the claims, the families can seek damages by filing lawsuits in federal court.
"The harm inflicted on these fathers, their children and their entire families can never be undone," said Jay Carey, a partner at Covington & Burling. "But those responsible for their pain can and must be held accountable. And a message must be sent to this Administration — which has acted in t
