Unprecedented: Armenians News Outlet Sues Another Armenian News Outlet
An precedented lawsuit was filed with the Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash Administrative Districts of Yerevan: a local news outlet is suing another local news outlet.
Constitutional Rights Union (SIM) party leader Hayk Babukhanyan and Iravunk Media Ltd., publisher of Iravunk Weekly, have initiated a lawsuit against Khmbagir Ltd., publisher of the website Report.am, and journalist, analyst Edik Andreasyan. The plaintiffs find that their honor, dignity and business reputation was harmed in an article published on Aug. 31, 2010, titled "Iravunk's right is at the edge of Hayk Babukhanyan's sword" ("Iravunk" means "right," thus the title is a play on words). The SIM party leader and Iravunk Weekly are demanding a retraction and a public apology, as well as 3 million drams (about $8,110 US) each from the news outlet and the author of the article (Andreasyan) as compensation for harm caused through libel and defamation.
"The article published in the noted news outlet [the online news site] contains such expressions (and generally, the entire article), which are libelous and defamatory, since the published article and the expressions made within it are not veritable facts and are untrue. Moreover, the accuracy of the article has not been substantiated by any evidence by the author in the published article," reads the lawsuit application.
According to Edik Andreasyan, he expressed his opinion in the article, which Hayk Babukhanyan apparently didn't like.
"The article is built on ambiguous expressions [double entendres]; I expressed my opinion. This is only for financial [reasons], because no court can ever prove that there's insult there. Basically, the question of money played a great role, he got excited — two harsh words were used and those in quotation marks. Notice they noted that the entire article is an insult; that doesn't happen, only certain words in an article can be an insult [i.e. libel]," he said.
The SIM party leader finds that anyone who can express himself through mass media says that in his opinion the man on the street is a pig, that's not freedom of speech and it's not expressing an opinion.
"That man can really punish for insult [i.e. defamation] the one who expresses such an opinion," said Babukhanyan.
The politician also notes, "There are laws and any such expression can be punished in accordance with the law, when there exists a defamation of character," and he expresses hope that "this one situation, when those who defame, insult and curse will be punished, will bring journalists who think like them to their senses and will keep our public environment away from such… phenomena."
Committee to Protect Freedom of Expression President Ashot Melikyan believes that it would be better if Hayk Babukhanyan resolved this conflict by making use of the right to respond and by presenting a request for a retraction.
"I don't really consider launching a lawsuit against one's colleague to be right, especially when there was an alternative and more preferable option: appeal to the Mass Media Self-Regulation observer body for mediation," he said.
Though these two news outlets haven't signed the observer body's Code of Ethics, according to Melikyan, there have been cases when news outlets that haven't signed the Code, nevertheless, settled accounts with the conclusion provided by the observer body.
Member of the observer body, Asparez Journalists' Club President Levon Barseghyan says besides examining the disputes of the 44 news outlets and media organizations that have signed the Code of Ethics, disputes between news outlets that haven't signed the Code can also be investigated.
"The defense can appeal to the observer body, the observer body will negotiate with the plaintiff and will suggest the dispute be transferred from the courtroom to this plane and to make use of the options for response and retraction," he said.
According to Barseghyan, if both parties agree, this will be the best option for resolving the dispute, if, of course, the plaintiff has no intent of financial bankruptcy.

Civil War Recipes
Receipts from the Pages of Godey's Lady's Book
Edited by Lily May Spaulding and John Spaulding
Godey's Lady's Book , perhaps the most popular magazine for women in nineteenth-century America, had a national circulation of 150,000 during the 1860s. The recipes (spelled ""receipts"") it published were often submitted by women from both the North and the South, and they reveal the wide variety of regional cooking that characterized American culture. There is a remarkable diversity in the recipes, thanks to the largely rural readership of Godey's Lady's Book and to the immigrant influence on the country in the 1860s. Fish and game were readily available in rural America, and the number of seafood recipes testifies to the abundance of the coastal waters and rivers. The country cook was a frugal cook, particularly during wartime, so there are a great many recipes for leftovers and seasonal produce. In addition to a wide sampling of recipes that can be used today, Civil War Recipes includes information on Union and Confederate army rations, cooking on both homefronts, and substitutions used during the war by southern cooks.
"The recipes themselves become a window into middle-class American culture nearly 150 years ago: what they ate, how they prepared their foods, how much food was prepared, and what kitchen utensils were used."—Arkansas Review
"Presents a picture of domestic life during those difficult years."—Blue Ridge Country
"A valuable work to all readers who are interested in American cooking practices of the past, especially of the era of the Civil War."—Charles P. Roland
"A superb job of filling in the background on cooking term, measurements, techniques, etc., that were commonplace for our ancestors but unknown or baffling today."—Civil War Interactive
"A 'must' for the cookbook collector, and for those who enjoy a good read and good food."—Journal of the West
"Serves up period dishes ranging from the gourmet to army rations."—Publishers Weekly
"Civil War Recipes not only can be put to practical use, but it's also fun to read and chuckle over."—The (Tucson) Arizona Daily Star

Researcher calls for a political ice in the stomach before the Pisa detection
the Results of the Pisa study published on Tuesday. Research director expects no significant fluctuations. Tuesday it is again time to take stock of the Danis
03 December 2019 Tuesday 12:01
Indo NewYork
the Results of the Pisa study published on Tuesday. Research director expects no significant fluctuations.
Tuesday it is again time to take stock of the Danish pupils ' abilities to read and count, when the result of the international Pisa survey will be published.
the Last Pisa-study from 2016, showed that the Danish students had been academically more proficient, and especially in the field of mathematics, there was significant progress.
it Should not look as positive in the new test, so it should not lead to deep panderynker and political snuptagsløsninger.
It takes Andreas Rasch-Christensen, head of research at professionshøjskolen VIA University College.
- the Pisa study has previously been assigned too much importance. Politicians have occasionally put the result on the table and said to how to see the Danish school out, and then you have done this and that.
- It is a wrong use of the test. There must be more ice in the stomach and say, ok, what points to the results and be aware of movements, which can be significant, he says.
Andreas Rasch-Christensen expects, however, that the academic skills of Danish pupils have been significantly worse or better the past three years.
My expectation is that we will see a relatively stable professional development without major fluctuations for the Danish students, he says.
the Pisa survey takes the temperature of the 15-16-year-olds skills in areas such as reading, mathematics and science.
the Survey is conducted every three years since 2000.
According to Andreas Rasch-Christensen is the Pisa study is a good tool to measure the students ' development.
- It is interesting to see how Danish pupils develop over time. You just need to be quite sharp on what it is for some areas, such as Pisa measure, he says.
- It is not a test of trivia. It is also the understanding and ability to use knowledge to concrete tasks, which are measured.
Thus believe Andreas Rasch-Christensen, also from the political side must be careful to measure the Denmark compared to other countries. Instead, the Pisa study is used to see whether the Danish students ' professional abilities, moves the right way.
- It has from the political side in the past said that Pisa drew the full picture of students ' academic development, and it does not, after all, he says, and adds:
- It is good that we have the Pisa study, but one must use it with caution.

Why my family relocated to US – Prince Harry
Prince Harry moved his wife and son to California to break a family cycle of "pain and suffering" after realizing his father Prince Charles "treated me the way he was treated," he said in an interview released Thursday.
The remarks comes in the wake of Harry and Meghan's explosive television interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they raised allegations of racism in the royal family, and said Charles had cut them off financially.
Harry told "Armchair Expert" podcast host Dax Shephard that while he did not blame his father, he had resolved to avoid making the same mistakes with his own children.
"When it comes to parenting, if I've experienced some form of pain or suffering because of the pain or suffering that perhaps my father or my parents had suffered, I'm going to make sure that I break that cycle," said Harry.
"There's a lot of genetic pain and suffering that gets passed on anyway. And as parents we should be doing the most we can to try and say, "You know what? That happened to me, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen to you," he added.
Harry said that once he began thinking about his father's own upbringing, he came to realize that the Prince of Wales had not had it easy, being brought up as a royal.
"So that means that he's treated me the way that he was treated. Which means, 'how can I change that for my own kids?' And well, here I am," the prince told Shephard.
"I've now moved my whole family to the US."
The allegations made in Harry and Meghan's earlier interview with Winfrey in March have plunged the monarchy into its biggest crisis since the death of William and Harry's mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.
Harry and Winfrey will collaborate again for mental health documentary series "The Me You Can't See" premiering May 21 on Apple TV+.
Promoting that forthcoming series, Harry told Shepherd he had realized that he did not want his royal duties in his early 20s, in part because of "what it did to my mom."
"The three major times I felt completely helpless — one when I was a kid in the back of the car with my mom being chased by paparazzi, two was in Afghanistan in an Apache helicopter, and then the third one was with my wife," he said.
Harry and Meghan now live in Montecito, around an hour north of Los Angeles, and are expecting a daughter.

"This is the unexplored region!" Everyone who has visited Hotel Chinohate located deep in the mountains of Shiretoko would feel like that.
This is the rare mansion-type hotel located in a World Heritage Site and has a natural hot spring. Why don't you soak into the outdoor onsen surrounded by wild forests?
Hotel Chinohate is located in Iwaobetsu Onsen in the up-country of Shiretoko.
You can find the junction to Iwaobetsu Onsen and the well-known tourist destinations Shiretoko Goko Lakes when you come from Utoro Region, the base of sightseeing in Shiretoko.
▲There is this sign at the junction.
The neighborhood is designated as a World Heritage Site.
There are completely no buildings, and you will be surrounded by wild nature 360 degrees.
▲The road gets narrower from the junction, and you will go deep in the woods.
It's not rare to see red foxes and Ezo deer appear along the road, in fact, it's normal. Even brown bears sometimes cross the road.
▲Drive carefully because you never know when and where wild animals appear.
I felt that I am really in the heart of nature where wild animals live.
As I kept going into the woods, I suddenly found a building.
This is Hotel Chinohate. It takes approximately 10 mins drive from the junction and approximately 20 mins from Utoro Region.
▲There are no lights except the lights of the hotel so it will be completely dark.
There are no buildings except the hotel. Even no electric wires.
They use in-house power generation and purify the river water for drinking.
The mansion-type hotel deep in the woods.
It feels as if I am isolated from the modern world. The location definitely has an unexplored feeling.
Hotel Chinohate is famous for their outdoor garden onsen surrounded by wild forests. The hot spring in the woods, of course, the water is sourced directly from the natural hot spring source.
It is said that the frontiers found the onsen when they explored the mountain in the mid-Showa era and Hotel Chinohate was built in 1962.
▲There are two outdoor bathtubs in the outdoor garden bath.
There are outdoor mixed bath and a gender-separated indoor bath. They recently reopened the outdoor bath after renovating, and they now require guests to wear bath wears (available for free rental) in the outdoor garden bath.
Those who could not relax to bathe in the mixed bath can enjoy the bath, too! Enjoy the atmosphere of wild nature in the outdoor garden bath.
▲The indoor bath, too, provides onsen water, of course.
The hot spring source is in the property of the hotel. The water is slightly blue light white color.
▲I found countless white hot-springs mineral deposits! Feels like the onsen has some great effects!
The onsen is chloride hydrogen carbonate spring with sodium and calcium.
My skin got very smooth after the bath. The best location and high-quality onsen components! This is definitely the ultimately hidden onsen.
If you are staying at a mansion-type hotel, you should check out not only onsen but also the quality of guest rooms and meals.
As they reopened after renovating, the lobby and guest rooms became new and clean.
And they are also planning to reform and renovate other parts of hotels after 2019.
▲The guest rooms mainly use gold, inspired by Ezo deer.
The Japanese style guest rooms provide beds instead of Futon.
They offer Simmons' mattress as they value the quality of sleep.
The hotel information book put in the guest rooms is created by a designer and made with leather. When you open inside, the hotel information is written like a story in the Shiretoko woods.
▲The light looks like ones you see in cottages and the leather-made hotel information book.
The tray, kettle, dryer put in the room also have a beautiful design and make guests feel good just by using them.
When I heard the hotel is located deep in the woods, I thought their facilities would not very good, but I got betrayed in a good way. It seems very comfortable and relaxing.
You will also be betrayed in a good way by their meals, too.
I was surprised to get this much meal at deep in the mountain!
There are several grades for the meals depending on your plans, but even the middle range standard menu had plenty of dishes.
▲The dinner for the day I visited. There are plenty of dishes.
meatball soup, and a whole hair crab!
And the very Shiretoko-like wild game meat; Ezo deer steak.
▲I did not feel any smell even though it was wild game meat. Their meat processing must be very skillful.
▲I enjoyed the crab! The brown meat was stuffed inside!
It was not a simple meat although the hotel is located deep in the mountain. My stomach was full and was very satisfied.
Relax in the bath after eating plenty of food, lay down on the comfortable bed, and spend a night at the unexplored land.
▲An example of their breakfast. I enjoyed Pacific saury as the main dish and plenty of others.
* Dinner and breakfast content are subject to change.
Deep forests surround the hotel, and there is only one road connecting to other places. The road terminates at the hotel. However, there is a hiking trail going to the well-known mountain in Shiretoko Peninsula; Mt. Rausu.
The hotel becomes packed with hikers going to Mt. Rausu in summer.
▲The view from the summit of Mt. Rausu is fantastic! It is worth an eight hours round trip.
The hotel is also the best place as the base of sightseeing located up-country of Shiretoko such as Shiretoko Goko Lakes and Kamuiwakka Falls.
You can wholly and comfortably enjoy nature of Shiretoko if you stay at this hotel located in a World Heritage Site.
▲The trees turn yellow from mid-October.
The hotel operates only for half a year from spring to autumn, but don't you want to consider this mansion-type hotel deep in the mountain if you plan to visit Shiretoko?
You can spend an unusual day to feel wild nature.
▲I am waiting in the up-country of Shiretoko!


Christians who believe that, as a demonstration of love and compassion, those with a terminal or hopeless illness should have the option of a pain-free, peaceful and dignified death with legal voluntary assisted dying or legal voluntary euthanasia.
Rev. Trevor Bensch, former Minister at North Adelaide Baptist Church, and a Baptist Chaplain at two major hospitals, was the catalyst for the formation of this group. Ian Wood asked Trevor his views on Voluntary Euthanasia from his Christian perspective. Trevor's response was so supportive Ian suggested he send it to all MPs in South Australia. Hon. Mark Parnell quoted sections of this letter in his speech introducing a VE Bill into South Australian Parliament and now the letter is in Parliamentary Hansard.
Rev. Bensch, together with fellow Christian Ian Wood, decided to establish a group to allow Christians to voice their support, and Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Euthanasia was born in February 2009. To reflect terminology currently used, our group is now known as Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Assisted Dying. Sadly, Rev Bensch died in February 2019, but his efforts on this issue continue.
Ian Wood is National Coordinator and contact for the group.
The group's principal activity is sending letters to Members of State Parliaments when a Bill relating to Voluntary Euthanasia or Assisted Dying is being debated and generally making it known that many Christians support choice for voluntary assisted dying and voluntary euthanasia, holding it to be consistent with Jesus' message of love and compassion.
It is intended that all statements be moderate, respectful and based on facts. The group is independent but will complement and work together with the various DWD and VE groups in all States and Territories to achieve the necessary change in legislation.
Generally making the public aware through the media that there is strong public support amongst the more enlightened and thinking Christians for our legal right to make end of life decisions.
Countering any mis-information put forward by religious opposition to every person's right to a dignified and pain-free death.
There is no payment of subscriptions or cost involved.
However, we do welcome sponsorship and donations that help us run our operation. Donation by bank transfer is preferred. Account Name: Christians Supporting Choice for VE. BSB: 105 003 Account: 119890940. If making a transfer please also email me ian.wood@christiansforvad.org.au with your name and transfer details. If donating by cheque or money order please make it payable to Christians Supporting Choice for VE and post to the address below.
Membership is an expression of that person's willingness to become a "signatory" at the foot of Group letters going to Members of Parliament in any Australian State.
Considerable support has been expressed by non-Christians and ex-Christians for our campaign, and we are happy for these people to join on this basis.
The names of all members in both categories, listed as "signatories", will be added to letters going to the Members of Parliament.
Members will also be encouraged to write their own letters to MPs when Voluntary Assisted Dying or VE Bills are being debated in the Parliament of their state. Being prepared to actively talk face to face with your MP about the need for assisted dying choice is the ideal.
members without emails, unless requested otherwise, due to delays in the postal system, will automatically be included along with other members of the Group, on all letters being sent to Members of Parliament.
All media releases will be sent as a statement from the group without prior approval due to time considerations, and the need to respond quickly to topical items as they arise. However we will endeavour to keep the group informed.
people from all denominations will be willing to make this public stand.
that we will receive the support of some prominent citizens to arouse more interest from the media.
you will feel inspired to discuss the issue of Voluntary Assisted Dying with friends and enlist their support, though we appreciate this is not always easy.
Christians Supporting Choice for Voluntary Assisted Dying would welcome your participation with any ideas and suggestions as to the content of letters, suggestions for media releases, facts and stories that support our aims. Please email or write to Ian Wood at the address below.
The main opposition to law reform arises from Christians in the fundamentalist churches. Their dogmatic approach is disturbing, and we are seeking to counteract this.
Many moderate Christians from all denominations already support choice for voluntary euthanasia. It is essential for these Christians to become active, standing proudly in their faith and giving voice to the significant majority of Christian support shown in surveys over recent years.
Booklets available. Copies of our 16 page colour booklet "C4VE – I want the choice" (version 3) are available at no charge to distribute to interested friends if required.
Our promotional leaflet is available, free of charge. Simply email or write to the Co-ordinator with your request.
We are an ecumenical group, with Uniting, Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adventist, Unitarian, Catholic and Quaker denominations represented, including the Religious Society of Friends (Canberra), the "Canberra Quakers"!

First TV Spot For The Mandalorian Reveals New Characters
By David James @londoncitynight 3 months ago
Jon Favreau's The Mandalorian is definitely the centerpiece of the Disney Plus launch. The new series promises to shed some light on the time between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, boasts an impressive cast, has had absolutely kickass trailers and has already been wowing critics. Its November 12th premiere date is now just over a week away, and Disney and Lucasfilm are pulling out all the stops to raise the show's profile, including the release of the new TV spot up above.
My highlight here is the first live action look at Nick Nolte's character, the Ugnaught Kuiil. He's a short, squat rough n' ready looking fella who seems like he'd fit perfectly into a cantina-style scene. Also of note is the introduction of Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand, who seems to be a fairly cocky rival bounty hunter. She promises the titular Mandalorian that his name will be legendary but given that we've not heard any mention of him in the Sequel Trilogy, perhaps she's mistaken.
Five Character Posters For The Mandalorian Tease A Totally New Star Wars Adventure
Whatever the case, expectations are high. The only real downside right now is that Disney Plus is only launching in the States, so most international audiences will be unable to watch The Mandalorian without having to resort to less-than-legal methods. Disney promises that the service will be available in all countries within two years, but I expect this to end up as the most pirated show of 2019.
That hopefully won't apply to the rest of the Disney Plus Star Wars projects. Already confirmed are an untitled series based around Rogue One's Cassian Andor and (most excitingly) a show starring Ewan McGregor about Obi-Wan Kenobi. On top of that, we'll also eventually get the entire Skywalker saga, a revival season of The Clone Wars and Rebels. If Disney are trying to build their subscription base for the streaming service on the backs of Star Wars fans, they're certainly doing a good job.

This page of the website is a work in progress but hey aren't we all! Scroll down to enjoy slide shows by country. It took cycling a crossed a dozen countries to develop my love of photography. Trust me on this, the early photos (at the way-way bottom) aren't worth look'in at, unless you have lost your glasses or had too much to drink and are suffering from impaired judgement. However, check back often, I continue to add photos of new countries when I pedal into areas with internet that will let me do that sort of thing.
Up next? I am presenting pedaling in Ethiopia, Eastern Africa. I am also loving my new camera, Nikon L120. The last one experienced shak'in baby syndrome and Pandemic The Unstable Magic Bicycle shook it to death.
All photos are taken by Loretta Henderson. Skalatitude.com is copyright Loretta Henderson. All material has been used with permissison is copyright original source. High-res prints are available on a donation bases. Donations go towards the bicycle ambulance project.
Scroll down and enjoy the slide shows!
Other Slide Shows?...Have you lost your glasses or had too much to drink and are suffering from impaired judgement? If the answers is yes, then these slide shows below are for you.
and if you are STILL looking at these, please remember you are not alone and rehab has worked for many people. I suggest twelve stepping your way back up top to the decent photos!
What can I say here, I had never bike toured or cycled before and I was far too busy contemplating how I had spent the last two years reading about bike touring and becoming reasonably confident that reading doesn't qualify as physical training. Therefore, after pedaling out the door of the bike shop, I didn't take many photos and spend most of my time loving my new magic bicycle, learning to cycle and saying OUCH while laughing at the crazy pain in my neck all the way from England through Wales to Ireland.
Cheers, I hope you have had some fun checking out the photos!


For DELADA's Spring Summer 2019 collection, the brand collaborated with the Russian artist Pavel Pepperstein on a series of accessories using his series titled Breaking the Ice. Throughout the collection, a variety of scarves, chokers, and DELADA's signature sleeves utlilize the artwork in a fresh, playful manner.
The series Breaking the Ice is inspired by a cycle of narrative poetry by Mikhail Kuzmin The Trout Breaks the For Ice (1929) in which the author attempts to break away from literary tradition and challenges the social norms and taboos of the time. Using psychedelic associations Pepperstein aims to achieve the effect of complete and utter freedom and even verges on the absurd notion of freedom from freedom itself. It is the ultimate triumph over any social and cultural constraints.
Pavel Pepperstein is perhaps the most famous Russian contemporary artist. He was born in 1966 in Moscow. From 1985 to 1987 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. In 1987 he co-founded the experimental group of artists called Inspection Medical Hermeneutics (P.Pepperstein, S. Anufriev, Y.Liederman, V. Fedorov). The ideology of Medical Hermeneutics was the fusion of incompatible descriptive language, from contemporary western philosophy and Orthodox theology, Daoism and Buddhism to the language of psychiatry and pharmacology, which created a completely unique manner of expression. Since 1989 Pepperstein has been an independent artist, writer, critic, art theorist and rap musician. His work is a continuation of the tradition started by the Moscow Conceptual School. In 2009 Pepperstein represented Russia at the Venice Biennale where his installation Landscapes of the Future was widely acclaimed and received numerous outstanding reviews from critics. Pepperstein's works have been exhibited in many museums and galleries in Russia and around the world, including The Louvre. His paintings, drawings and installations can be found in the Tretyakov State Gallery in Moscow, the Russian State Museum in St Petersburg, the George Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Albertina museum in Vienna, the Israel Museum, Jerusalem and in many private collections both in Russia and abroad. Pepperstein's various articles on the problems presented by contemporary art have been published both at home and abroad.


How Long Does the Physician Job Search Process REALLY Take?
No matter how much of a procrastinator you are, I highly recommend getting a head start on your physician job search. I've seen too many residents try to cram their job search into a 1-3 month time span, and the results are hardly ever ideal.
Just How Long Does the Physician Job Search Process Take?
Truthfully, it varies. But between preparation, searching, deciding and transitioning into your first job, the process will take at least several months. To give you a realistic idea, I've outlined a time frame for each step below. Keep in mind that this just covers the most basic steps, and there are always other things you'll need to tend to along the way. Give yourself plenty of time!
This phase encompasses too many steps to outline here, but essentially, it's the pre-planning phase before your search. You'll want to update your physician CV, cover letters and reference letters, and identify your personal priorities, just to name a few things. For a detailed look at what to do, click here. Give yourself a minimum of 3 months to complete these tasks.
This is jumping ahead to the active job search process. Remember, give yourself at least 3 months to plan before the active search. Once a recruiter receives your CV, it may take 5-10 days for him or her to pass it along to the medical director or hiring physician.
After receiving your CV, a medical director or hiring physician may take 10 to 21 days to review and assess the CV. It sounds like a long time, but directors/physicians have several other duties to attend to other than reviewing CVs.
Once your CV has been reviewed and approved, the director or physician will contact you to conduct a phone interview. Taking into account scheduling synchronization, this can take up to 5 days.
After completing the phone interview, the director/physician will determine whether they'd like to bring you in for an in-person interview. This process can take about 7 days.
This step can take quite a bit of time, since travel arrangements need to be made and schedule coordination can be tricky. Both you and the director/physician must work around exiting commitments. It can take up to 30 days or more to complete the interview process.
If you pass the initial interview, the director/physician needs to determine whether they would like to bring you back for a second interview. If so, the spouse/significant other is often brought back, too. This can take up to 14 days.
This step can take up to 30 days, since schedule coordination and travel arrangements must be made once again.
After the second interview, the director/physician will decide whether or not they want to hire you. If so, they will offer you a contract. Before this decision is made, however, the director/physician must gather feedback from interviewers and the board must approve the offer. This can take up to 30 days.
The ball is in your court, and you'll want to hire an attorney to review your contract. After that, there may be revisions that need to go back and forth between your attorney and the employer. The entire process can take 30 days or more.
As you can see, the physician job search process can take anywhere from 6 months to a year. That seems like a long, arduous process (and it can be), but you'll be far less stressed if you divide it up into manageable chunks. Keep in mind that if you apply to several organizations, the process will be longer. Visit the Adventures in Medicine Online Resource Library for more tips and helpful worksheets!

You have a coworker who isn't junior or senior to you: You are in parallel positions, and there is a power struggle going on. One of you may feel undermined by the other. One may feel pushed around. You may need the other person to complete some aspects of the work before you can do your part. What if he doesn't? What if he undermines your efforts? This creates a poisoned work environment for both of you.
You are a project manager who needs the right people to fill key positions on your project team, but the HR person responsible for hiring isn't taking your feedback into account. This can lead to conflict if, for instance, the HR person hires someone who isn't a good fit for the team or passes over someone you think would be a great addition.
You are a supervisor dealing with staff members who are mired in a dispute: You are truly between a rock and a hard place here: do you fire one of them? Both of them? Neither? How do you get them to work together? How can you avoid drastic measures or having a mediator come in?
In these situations, it is important to remember that everyone is probably just trying to do their jobs (I say "probably" because there are those rare people who are intentionally toxic). Things spiral out of control; one issue becomes ten. People begin to feel like actions are intentional or malicious when maybe they weren't intended that way at all. In any case, a conflict coach can help you clarify your thinking and decide on an effective course of action.
Conflict is an unavoidable element of the workplace, and when handled constructively, it can actually benefit everyone. Too often, though, it is destructive and can create ripple effects that reach out beyond the office. Conflict Coaching helps you take some control of what you can do in these situations to work toward an outcome you'd like to see.

Does This Urine Brand Do The Job?
I think I'm one of the few unlucky people with a job I really enjoy, but in a company that has regular urine tests throughout the year. It's annoying, and I hate the fact that they infringe on my private life so much.
But rather than change my lifestyle (which won't interfere with my work), I managed to find a solution in fake pee. Yes, these products exist, and there are many of them. However, the last thing you want is a product that gets flagged as fake, only to ruin your career.
I'll get to my top recommendation below, but I'm constantly checking for new products to see if there are better ones -- and to find those products that you should stay away from.
For this page, I've put together an X Stream urine review which compares results to other synthetic options I have tested.
While X Stream is not officially advertised for people who need to pass a urine test, they do make a big deal out of the fact that it has all the necessary ingredients to be used for testing equipment calibration.
The big question is whether that's actually true.
For those who need to get through a mandatory lab test, the ingredients are one of the most important things to look for in an artificial solution.
Labs pick up on several critical elements besides the substances being checked for to ensure that the product is real.
One of the other chemical compounds that adds a nice authentic touch is that when shaken, the X-Stream solution foams up, just like real piss. The manufacturer also makes a big deal of the fact that it has the right smell.
Just from these headline ingredients, it does look like a good solution, but does it stand up to closer examination?
Does X-stream Synthetic Urine Have Uric Acid?
Yes, X-Stream synthetic urine has uric acid as well as urea as its main ingredients.
This is one of the critical substances that all labs test for these days, and if it's not in the right concentration, then it will be flagged as fake and you'll fail the test.
Unfortunately, X-stream doesn't seem to have the exact right concentration as quite a lot of people have reviewed it negatively when it comes to actual test results.
Knowing the ingredients in the X-Stream solution is not enough to guarantee that this stuff will help you beat the men in white coats at the lab.
So, does it work? Well, despite the advanced chemical engineering, the unfortunate verdict is that this stuff does not work 100 percent of the time, and here's why.
Although the foaming and odor are a nice touch, these in no way guarantee that you will be able to pass a urinalysis using this product.
First off, foaming and odor are not features checked for in a lab screening. If that's all it took to pass, there would be no need to check the sample itself.
Also, one of the key reasons that the X-Stream solution doesn't always pass as "real" is the inadequate heating element.
This failure is probably because the manufacturers are marketing this product for fetishes and medical testing facilities. Their website emphasizes several times that this solution is not intended for saving your career.
Instead, they are thinking of laboratory facilities that will use this product for calibration and other testing purposes. Simply put, the purpose of the X-Stream is not to help people cheat on substance screenings.
Because of the intended uses, the X-Stream urine does not come with high- quality heating and temperature reading components. This is the primary reason that you'll have difficulty making your sample appear real (see here the ones that can guarantee you'll pass).
Human piss, when it comes out of the body, has a temperature in the range of 98°F to 102°F.
When you exit the toilet and hand your sample to the tester, they will almost immediately read the temperature of the solution with a digital thermometer. If the solution is below this authentic range, that is a huge sign that it is not real or isn't fresh.
Most artificial solutions on the market are made to be heated up in the microwave, and they come with some heat activating powder or a heating pad that will keep the solution in the ideal temperature range.
The X-Stream does come with a hand warmer that you can use to maintain the heat, but the warmer itself is of meager quality.
The bottle also has a temperature reader, but this is not very accurate. Accuracy in temperature is not one of the goals for X-Stream, and that is probably because of who they're targeting for their market demographic.
If you are looking for a solution that is specially engineered to help you fake your results, then do not go for X-Stream. We suggest using Quick Fix because it is a tested, proven solution that has a higher pass rate for testing machines.
X-Stream's product is one of the cheaper ones on the market, but that's probably not a good sign. The lower price is just an indication that they have spent less time and resources producing a solution that will pass a urinalysis.
At around $20 for a 3oz bottle, it seems high if you're working on a budget, but there are other artificial solutions out there that are almost the same price, such as Quick Fix, which is only a tad bit more expensive (but guarantees you'll pass) for the same size bottle.
I can't say this often enough though: don't let price dictate how you deal with tricky drug tests especially if your career is on the line.
Final Conclusion: Is X-Stream Worth It?
If you've heard from acquaintances and friends that the X-Stream urine does work, and you're willing to take your chances with it to save your lifestyle, then you can buy the product online.
Most stores that sell this product are untrustworthy third-party suppliers, so you're taking a risk in purchasing this product.
Honestly, we don't recommend buying it.
If you're looking to buy a solution that is proven to have a higher pass rate, then you really should get Quick Fix instead. With a positive track record of helping countless people save their careers, it is the smarter choice.
To make it easier for you, we've provided this link to buy Quick Fix directly from the manufacturer. No third parties, and no worries that you won't get a good result at your next test. Click here to go to an approved reseller of the official Quick Fix.


I tested the PDF2TXT COM for Table Analyzer version.
I will make software to support CJK unicode.
I want sample charmap.txt or language pack.
"charmap.txt" is used to map some special Unicode characters to ANSI code.
you can call PDF2TXTEx() function from PDF2TXT SDK product, PDF2TXTEx() function can convert CJK characters from PDF file to text file properly.
I have to explain again that I hope to ask you.
I tested two version(PDF2TXT and PDF2TXT COM for Table Analyzer) both.
But, 'PDF2TXT COM for Table Analyzer' is not supported CJK unicode.
I need word position(left, top, width, height) for extracts text.
If PDF2TXT SDK is supported word position, I will be buy it.
PDF Parser SDK can extract text with positions and other information, it can also render PDF pages to image files, it has more functions than PDF2TXT SDK and 'PDF2TXT COM for Table Analyzer', we hoping this product will work fine to you.
Also, PDF Parser SDK does support CJK PDF files, if you encounter a PDF file that can't be render or parse by PDF Parser SDK, please email that PDF file to us, after we checked that PDF file, we will figure out a solution to you asap.
I think the product, pdfparsersdk is for me.
I appologize I got more questions.
1) When the extract using pdfparsersdk, Could I separate image and text each other?
2) When the extract using pdfparsersdk, Could I set up the size of image?
>> 1) When the extract using pdfparsersdk, Could I separate image and text each other?

State Sets Aside $1 Million for Africatown's Clotilda Preservation Project
August 17, 2020 September 24, 2020 CHESS Administrator
{Images by the Alabama Historic Commission}
In the FY 2021 budget, the State of Alabama through Gov. Kay Ivey and the Alabama State Legislature appropriated $1 Million to the Alabama Historical Commission to begin Phase 3 of preservation efforts for the Clotilda in October.
This multifaceted phase includes targeted artifact excavation with industrial dive efforts supporting environmental and structural assessment of the site and an engineering study of the riverbed to inform stability. The environmental study will examine the composition of the sediment around the wreck, monitor water movement, and contain a biological review of the species that have colonized the wreck area. A structural assessment will appraise the level of deterioration and condition of the wood, creating an evidence-based plan for long term preservation. Finally, the engineering study will evaluate what is needed for site protection as well as the integrity of the riverbed for consideration of erecting a memorial on site.
"The Clotilda is a priceless and significant artifact very much deserving of our respect and remembrance. Protecting this resource is imperative," Gov. Kay Ivey said. "The Alabama Historical Commission has been devoted to carrying out their mandate of guardianship, acting with the ship's best interests," said Ivey. "By preserving the Clotilda, Alabama has the opportunity to protect a piece of history, and I look forward to Alabama carrying out that responsibility."
For more than twenty years, the Alabama Historical Commission (AHC) – the State's Historic Preservation Office – has been supporting the effort to find the Clotilda, issuing permits and grant funding to archaeologists and firms since 1997. Now that the vessel has been identified by scientific experts contracted by the AHC and National Geographic Society, the agency has been focused on being methodical and deliberate with all considerations for its preservation. With support and funding from Gov. Ivey and the Legislature, AHC will move forward with the next stage of preservation beginning October 2020.
Clotilda = Africatown
"Africatown exists because of the Clotilda," said Alabama State Senator Vivian Davis Figures, whose district includes the Mobile community. "It is paramount that the story of the men, women and children who were brought here from Africa for the purpose of slavery, be told and passed on by their descendants. With the confirmation of the vessel, there is no denying the brutality they suffered, and the reality of how they survived and built a community in Alabama in spite of all the things they endured."
The Alabama Historical Commission is charged with protecting, preserving and interpreting Alabama's historic places. This responsibility also includes abandoned shipwrecks, or the remains of those ships, and all underwater archeological artifacts embedded in or on lands belonging to the State of Alabama. This mandate is set forth in the Abandoned Shipwrecks Act and the Alabama Underwater Cultural Resources Act.

"The Alabama Historical Commission has a vital role as the legal guardian of the Clotilda," said Lisa Demetropoulos Jones, Executive Director of the Alabama Historical Commission. "It is our tremendous duty to ensure that this historic artifact survives so that the world never forgets what transpired during the Transatlantic slave trade. We are deeply appreciative to Governor Kay Ivey and the Alabama State Legislature for supporting this effort and preserving this story for the world."
"During this period of deep reflection on the shared history of all Alabamians, the Alabama Historical Commission is grateful for the opportunity to move forward with work to provide additional protection and preservation of the last-known slave ship Clotilda," said Eddie Griffith, Alabama Historical Commission Chairman. "Through this effort, we will investigate an appropriate way to memorialize the shipwreck and the people brought to our state against their will and enslaved, but who nevertheless built a lasting community where proud descendants still live today. Alabamians have overwhelmingly supported the protection and interpretation of this discovery and we appreciate the generous funding provided through Governor Ivey and the Alabama legislature."
In the archaeological report released May 2019, the wreckage of the Clotilda is described as being in a fragile state; the vessel was scuttled and burned in July 1860 in an effort to conceal and terminate evidence of the premeditated crime of human trafficking by co-conspirators Captain William Foster and Timothy Meaher. According to oral histories by locals familiar with Mobile's maritime history, Clotilda's remains were dynamited in the 1940s or 1950s, possibly to salvage materials from the ship, or as an attempt to further destroy the wreckage.
As part of AHC's calculated oversight of the vessel, the agency implemented a strategy to maintain ongoing documentation of the vessel throughout all phases of project. SEARCH Inc., contracted by the Alabama Historical Commission, has continued to scan the area of the Mobile River near Twelve Mile Island where the vessel identified as the Clotilda is located, documenting the infamous slaver as well as the many other vessels in the vicinity abandoned in a ship graveyard. This ongoing observation has proved to be a crucial step in assessing the overall integrity of the ship as the agency moves into the next phase of preservation. The Alabama Historical Commission has released new sonar images of the Clotilda wreck.
The newly released images of the vessel (taken March 2020) reveal that the full form of the ship is now clearly visible and exposed. In March, the river levels were lower than when documented in September 2019 and with little current. These prime conditions allowed for a slower set of continual sidescan sonar passes near the vessel, yielding the clearer images of the wreck.
The ship's interior is of critical archaeological importance as it could retain considerable archaeological and forensic evidence of the slave trade voyage of Clotilda and the illegal transportation of 110 African human trafficking victims who were brought to Mobile, AL for the purpose of enslavement.
"Phase 3 archaeological investigations will provide important information that sheds more light on the stories of those who were captured and transported aboard the Clotilda," said Stacye Hathorn, State Archaeologist. "It will also inform us regarding the condition of the wreck itself and help us to make the most responsible and best decisions about how to preserve and memorialize the vessel."
Protecting the Ship
Tandem to AHC's charge to preserve the Clotilda, the agency has a mission to protect the artifact. In doing so, the AHC filed an Admiralty Claim on the Clotilda in July 2019 along with a motion seeking a final order from the Court in September 2019 to confirm the State of Alabama's ownership of the vessel so that the State can exercise all rights associated with ownership. In April 2020, Federal District Judge Kristi Dubose awarded ownership of the Clotilda to the Alabama Historical Commission.
Through the Federal Court's maritime jurisdiction, a key benefit of pursuing an Admiralty Claim involves the retrieval of any artifacts that have been taken from the Clotilda. This authority is a strategic effort to also prevent against future attempts of "salvagers" who may defame the ship, or its artifacts, by taking from it. Per the enforcement of the Admiralty Claim, the Federal Court will be able to retain jurisdiction in the event assistance is needed for further orders, or to preside over legal issues that could arise during work to preserve, protect, and promote the artifact.
The Alabama Historical Commission continues to assess security needs and the most effective way to meet them. The AHC holds this artifact as an irreplaceable cultural treasure and will prosecute any tampering or encroachment to the fullest extent of the law.
The site of the Clotilda is now protected by a "Boats Keep Out" zone authorized under regulation 220-6-.19 of the Administrative Code of Alabama. Only vessels and persons authorized by the Alabama Historical Commission may access the site. ALEA State Troopers assigned to the Marine Patrol Division regularly patrol the area, and violators will be cited.
Since the announcement of the identification of the Clotilda, droves of visitors have traveled to Alabama – specifically Africatown – to pay their respects to the 110 individuals aboard the ship and to honor the nearly 12.5 million Africans who were forcibly migrated during the transatlantic slave trade. The Clotilda is significant to Alabama and is also internationally relevant. Preserving the ship is of critical cultural importance for our entire nation.
Centers of education across the country have ushered in millions of visitors seeking to learn more about the complex and under shared history of African Americans in the United States.
In March 2020, AHC announced a partnership with the History Museum of Mobile, Mobile County Commission, Africatown community members, and the City of Mobile to support a Clotilda exhibit at a new facility – the Africatown Heritage House – which will be located in the heart of Africatown. The exhibit will feature items from the History Museum of Mobile's collection, an area for Africatown community stories, and will display Clotilda artifacts on loan from the Alabama Historical Commission.
