Where the Next Climate Change Wars Could Erupt
Simmering political tensions plus weather shocks are a recipe for disaster.
Jacqueline Ronson
The word "rival" comes from the Latin for sharing a river, and in a world of climate change, rivalries are bound to become more fraught. Changing weather patterns don't cause war, but they can bring simmering tensions up to a boil. Syria's protracted civil war, for example, was brought on by drought and crop failure, made worse by climate change, which heightened underlying political and social tensions until the country erupted under the pressure.
Hotter temperatures alone push people quicker to anger and violence. But the real problems come when the climate shifts affect resources — food, water, land. In a world of climate change, finite natural resources are both diminishing and shifting, and they do not respect property or political boundaries in their migrations.
This month, the Center for Climate and Security published Epicenters of Climate and Security: The New Geostrategic Landscape of the Anthropocene, which documents the intersection between climate risk and conflict risk. Based on the report, we've highlighted five regions to watch.

Fish Wars in the South China Sea
The South China Sea is a hot potato of international diplomacy for a slew of reasons, but fishing is among the biggest. "Vietnam and China have repeatedly clashed over fishing rights in the South China Sea, including a 2005 incident where Chinese patrol boats opened fire on Vietnamese fishing trawlers, killing nine crewmen," writes Michael Thomas of the Center for Climate and Security.
Climate change heightens the risk of wars over fish in at least two ways. For one, it moves the resource around, pushing fish out of their normal ranges as environmental conditions change. If fleets follow the fish, they are more likely to sail into dicey political waters and incur the wrath of foreign vessels. Secondly, climate change can cause declines in fishing stocks by killing off crucial coral reef habitat and destabilizing the food webs that the fish depend on.
The region hosts more than half of the world's fishing fleet, and the fisheries' resource has declined an estimated 70-95 percent since the 1950s. The potential for conflict is huge, and the stakes are unimaginably high. "China is the most advanced and uses its 200,000-strong fishing fleet as a 'maritime militia,' operating with impunity as an irregular naval force, claiming islands, ferrying goods and materials to assist the [People's Liberation Army] in port and military base construction, and collecting maritime intelligence inside the so-called nine-dashed line," Thomas writes. "Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines have all blown up or threatened to blow up vessels that enter 'their' waters and regularly use their navies to intercept and destroy foreign fishing vessels."

River Wars at the China-India Border
China controls the Tibetan plateau, which provides water to two billion people. But the country has water issues, with more than a fifth of the world's population and just seven percent of the freshwater. Imagine how India felt when, in 2013, China suggesting diverting water headed south so that it might refill the dwindling reserves of the Yangtze River.
"The statement that nuclear explosions could be used to blast a passageway through the Himalayas conveys a threatening security message to the sub-continent downstream," writes Troy Sternberg of the University of Oxford. And it's conceivable that glaciers melted from global warming will stress the region enough to spark a real water war. "The potential for the two most populous and nuclear-equipped nations going to war dwarfs anything the Middle East can present."

Cattle Wars in Nigeria
Nigeria is vulnerable to climate conflicts on a number of fronts. Cities along the coast are vulnerable to joint pressures of urbanization, political instability, social unrest, and climate change effects. But further inland, in the country's Middle Belt, a conflict is already brewing that has killed thousands of people in a resource war that will only intensify as the region heats up.
The conflict, in simplified terms, is playing out between farmers and migratory cattle herders who are fighting over access to grazing lands that are increasingly drought-stricken and degraded. The 2015 Global Terrorism Index noted that militants among the Fulani herders were the fourth most deadly terrorist group in the world. They killed more people in 2016 than the more infamous Boko Haram.
Central America is very vulnerable to shocks that affect coffee production. USAID
Coffee Wars in Honduras
Honduras relies on coffee exports for an astonishing five percent of its GDP. And coffee is a particular crop, more sensitive than most to climate shifts and the things that come with it, including pests and disease. "The coffee plant is highly sensitive to temperature and rainfall variations and has a narrow range of optimal conditions, outside of which bean quality and yield decline," writes Shiloh Fetzek from the Center for Climate and Security.
By 2050, the optimal altitude for coffee production could climb up the mountainsides by more than 600 feet. It's easier to move a plant than land title boundaries, and for smallholder farmers following the plants to their preferred environment just won't be possible.
The country got a taste of the hardships to come in 2013, when a severe outbreak of the fungal disease called coffee leaf rust cut the region's crop in half. Coffee leaf rust can't survive at temperatures below 50 degrees, which normally limits its spread. But in a hotter future, more and more precious coffee will fall victim to this blight, stressing social and political relationships.

Oil Wars in the Arctic
Nowhere on the planet is changing in the face of global warming as dramatically as the High Arctic. The region was very recently an impenetrable fortress of snow and ice, but today oil rigs are making forays, and bigger and bigger cruise ships are boldly making the passage. The entire Arctic Ocean could be seasonally ice-free by the middle of this century.
While the Arctic is notably governed through peace and cooperation between neighbor states, that doesn't mean everyone always agrees. A border dispute still looms on the continental shelf, north of where Alaska meets Canada, which could become significant if fishing and oil extraction become profitable in the region. There's a further dispute over whether the Northwest Passage is internal water to Canada or as international strait of passage. So far, shows of military presence by the United States have not produced a major diplomatic crisis, but stakes will go up as the region becomes more accessible and valuable.
The claims of Russia to the Arctic complicates matters. "Since Russia's incursion into Crimea and eastern Ukraine, each member state of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has suspended all forms of military cooperation with Russia, including in the previously apolitical zone of 'military cooperation' in the Arctic," write Francesco Femia and Caitlin Werrell of the Center for Climate and Security. "In a context of possibly greater interaction between Arctic nations (due to melting ice), but less cooperation due to diplomatic conflicts elsewhere in the world, the probability of heightened tensions between major powers increases. While the current probability of conflict in the Arctic is low, the future is uncertain due to a rapidly changing physical and geopolitical landscape."

Fiction; American Fiction; Contemporary Fiction; Literary Fiction
Bolinda audio
A beautiful, wrenching portrait of a downtrodden man from the much-loved author of Lean On Pete.
Meet Horace Hopper, a 21-year-old farm hand in Tonopah, Nevada, who works for Mr Reece and his wife, the nearest thing he's had to family in years. But Horace, half-white half-Paiute Indian, dreams of bigger things. Leaving behind the farm and its fragile stability, he heads South to reinvent himself as the Mexican boxer Hector Hidalgo. Slowly, painfully, the possibility emerges that his dreams might not just be the delusions of a lost soul. But at what cost, and what of those he's left behind? Exploring the fringes of contemporary America, Don't Skip Out on Me is an extraordinary work of compassion – a novel about the need for human connection and understanding – and essential listening, now more than ever.
'He's the literary version of a Neil Young or a Tom Petty ...'
'Brutal and tender in equal measure, this is exemplary storytelling.'
'Vlautin's sparse, plain sentences are well-matched to the brutal world he depicts. At the same time, his compassion for his characters never wavers. For aching humanity, Vlautin pulls no punches.'

We explore the southern side of the island, home to the smokiest and peatiest of all whiskies - Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg. We visit Ardbeg for a tour, tasting and lunch (on your own). We follow that up with a visit to Laphroaig or a visit to the ruins of Kildalton church with its famous 8th Century Celtic cross. Alternatively we may stop in Bridgend where you could visit the community craft producers at Islay House Square or take a walk through the woods along the nearby River Sorn. Return to Bowmore for overnight.
This morning you take the ferry back to the mainland then travel through Argyll along the coast to Oban - the main ferry port for the islands, and known locally as the 'Charing Cross' of the north. On arrival in Oban your guide will drop you at your accommodation. You will say goodbye to this group here, and will be collected by your new guide and group on the morning of day 5. You will have a free afternoon in Oban to enjoy this bustling and busy highland town. For those who are partial to some retail therapy, there are numerous shopping possibilities, or for those who wish to continue their thirst for Scottish whisky, Oban distillery is nicely situated in the heart of the town. A hike uphill will bring its own rewards with stunning views from the most photographed structure in the west, McCaig's folly. The folly built on instruction by a local banker in 1897 resembles the coliseum in Rome, and provides magnificent vistas over the distant Firth of Lorne. You will stay in this glorious highland town for 2 nights.
We travel north along the west coast around Appin, passing Castle Stalker and Glencoe, scene of the infamous massacre of the Clan Macdonald in 1692. We pass through Fort William and take the historic road to the Isles to catch the ferry to Skye. We travel through Glenfinnan. Glenfinnan is home to a 100-year-old viaduct, which was made famous when the Hogwarts Express steamed across it on the way to school in the Harry Potter films. From Glenfinnan the road crosses mountains and glens before reaching Arisaig and on through a spectacularly scenic stretch of coast with fantastic views of the islands of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Skye. From here we travel to the picturesque fishing village of Plockton, where we are dropped off at our B&B or hotel this early evening.
Is a very flexible day to enjoy the splendors of Skye today. Our driver/guide will bring his/her knowledge to the foreground and bring us the best of touring today. We return to our accommodation in Plockton in the late afternoon. Enjoy a free evening in the village.
We are collected from our accommodation and travel south through the Cuillin Hills and back over to the mainland. We stop to visit the famous stronghold Eilean Donan Castle, used in the film "Highlander", before traveling east for stunning views over Loch Duich and the 5 Sisters of Kintail. Onto Loch Ness for a possible spotting of "Nessie". Heading south now through the Grampian mountains along Loch Laggan, before passing Dalwhinnie, home to Scotland's highest whisky Distillery, and onwards into Perthshire where we stop for refreshments before heading back to Edinburgh past Perth and over the Forth Road Bridge. Arriving Edinburgh at 7:15 pm. Our tour ends at Waverly Bridge in Edinburgh, where you will make your own way back to your pre-booked hotel.

« Iris symbolism and painting
Snow painting by Semyon Bukharin »
Wassily Kandinsky color theory
Comet, 1900 Painting. Wassily Kandinsky color theory
Experiments with color attracted the famous Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky since childhood. In his landscapes reality replaces the game of lines and color accents. In his book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" (published in 1910), the artist describes his perception, attitude and feelings about color, one by one – from green, white, black to red, brown, crimson, orange and purple. "When perceiving a color image (pictures, articles) – one feels the direct physical impact. There is a feeling of joy, satisfaction or a sense of irritation, rejection. But there is also another effect of color – mental.
Green, 1931. Wassily Kandinsky color theory
"I could compare completely green with a calm, broaching, middle tones of a violin."
"The deep green leaves behind a feeling of a new expectation of vigorous fire."
White line, 1920
"The white color affects our psyche as a great silence, which is for us absolutely. Internally, it sounds like a no-sound, which is quite closely matches a pause in the music … This silence is not dead, it is full of possibilities. White sounds as the silence that can suddenly be understood. White is nothing, or more precisely – is nothing pre-primary, before the birth of things. So, maybe, sounded the land during the Ice Age."
Black forms on white, 1934
"Black inner sounds like nothing without chance, both dead. Nothing after the extinction of the sun, as an eternal silence without hope and a future. Present in music, black is a full final pause, after which the continuation is like the beginning of a new world, because through this hiatus is completed. It finished forever – full circle."
"Black is something extinct, like burned-out campfire, something motionless as a corpse, indifferent to everything going on and accepting nothing. It is like the silence of the body after death, after the cessation of life."
"From the outside, the black color is the most noiseless paint, against which every other color, even the least sound, sounds and therefore stronger and more accurate. Not the case with white, against which almost all the colors lose their clarity and some completely melt, leaving a weak, exhausted sound."
"No wonder the pure joy and spotless cleanliness clothed in white robes, and the greatest and deepest sorrow – black, black is a symbol of death."
"The balance of these two colors, occurs by mechanical mixing, forming a gray color. It is natural that born this way paint can't give external sound and movement. Gray is soundless and motionless, but this stillness is of a different nature than the rest green. Gray .. so there is hopeless immobility. "
In Gray, 1919
"The darker the gray, the more overweight is suffocating hopelessness. When the paint highlights include something like the air, the possibility of breathing, and this creates a certain element of the hidden hope."
Red round, 1939
"The material form the red color is very rich and varied. Just imagine all the tones from light to dark red Saturn, cinnabar red, english red, madder! This color sufficiently has the ability to maintain its basic tone and at the same time to impress with the characteristic warm or cold paint."
"Bright warm red (Saturn) has a certain similarity with the medium-yellow … and causes a feeling of strength, energy, commitment, determination, joy, triumph (noisy), and so it resembles the sound of musical fanfares with overtones of the pipe – persistent, haunting, powerful tone."
"Red in satisfactory condition, vermilion, acquires permanence acute sense, it is like a uniformly burning passion; it is self-confident power that is not easy to drown, but that can pay off in blue, like red-hot iron – cool water. This red color does not tolerate anything cold and loses cooling in sound and content."
"Compared with the yellow, Saturn and cinnabar in nature are similar, but striving to person much less. This red burns, but mostly in itself; it is almost completely devoid of some crazy nature yellow. Therefore, this color enjoys, maybe more love than yellow. It is willingly and often used in primitive folk ornaments, national costumes."
Black-red, 1928
"Blackout with black is dangerous as dead black extinguishes burning and reduces it to a minimum. But in this case, appears a stupid, cruel, a little prone to motion brown color in which red sounds like a barely audible boiling."
"Nevertheless, this external sound turns into internally powerful sound. When properly used brown paint produces indescribable inner beauty, self-restraint. Cinnabar red sounds like a tuba, then you can draw a parallel with strong drum beats."
Colorful sketch. Squares with concentric rounds, 1913
"In a dark red felt an element of physicality. This color is reminiscent of medium and low sounds of the cello bearing element of passion. When the cold red bright, it gets even more physicality, but the physicality of pure and sounds like pure youthful joy, like a fresh, young completely clean image of a girl. This way you can easily transfer music with clean, clear singing sound of the violin. "
Crimson. Clean, cheerful, often successive sounds of bells (and horse bells) are called in Russian "Crimson ring". This color is becoming intense but with a touch of white paint – a favorite color of the dress of young girls."
Orange purple, 1935
"Warm red, intensified akin to yellow, orange gives you … It looks like a man convinced of his own abilities and the feeling of so exceptional health. This color sounds like a medium-sized church bell calling to prayer" Angelus", or as Viola strong voice as alto violin, singing Largo."
"As the orange color occurs by bringing a red-to-person, as violet, having a tendency to move away from the person, is the result of displacement of the red blue. But it is red, the underlying must be cold, because the heat of red prevents mixing with blue cold (any way) – this is also true in the spiritual."
"So, the purple color is chilled red, both physically and psychologically. It has therefore the character of something painful, extinct (coal slag!), brings something sad. It is no accident, this color is considered suitable for dresses of old women. The Chinese have used it for mourning garments. Its sound is similar to the sound of the English horn, flute, and in its depths – with low tones of wood instruments (eg bassoon)"…

There will always be two types of people in this ever-growing world: those that agree with something, and those that don't. There is often a third type of person who is "on-the-fence", or rather, who generally don't give a rat's arse about the topic of debate. Well, in terms of online privacy and Facebook ads, you should be very concerned — but not exactly "concerned" with a negative connotation.
Why should you care about this discussion? Because it involves you directly! Facebook is tracking everything you do online and using it to earn revenue from advertising activities!
But… Is that really a bad thing?
Think about it — Facebook is essentially utilising the power of the Internet to know where you go and what you do online, especially on its own social media platform, so that it can show you advertisements that are relevant to you; ads that you want to see, when you want to see them.
Ads provide a better shopping experience, as consumers get shown advertisements that are relevant and relate to their needs. Isn't that what Internet users want? (Well, apart from no advertisements at all).
We don't want to see ads about something completely irrelevant, but we also don't want Facebook to have our information?
Advertisers receive more information in order to better understand their customers and their needs — i.e. what they shop for, how they shop for it, why they shop, etc. — so that you get shown what you want to see.
Essentially, there's an age-old option for dilemmas like this — if Facebook ads tracking freaks you out, simply don't use it. This leads to the weigh up of the opposing sides: would you rather be freaked out by Facebook ads tracking, or enjoy the social media platform with your friends and family?
Whereas, Peter Eckersley, the chief computer scientist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, calls Facebook's targeting methods, "the most invasive in the world." He can't stomach the idea of targeted, relevant ads, yet, has Facebook himself — which he states is the "paradox of modern life", as he uses it to keep in touch with friends and family.
That sort of puts everything into perspective, as if Facebook is stalking you beyond the confines of its social media platform and into your other ventures on the web.
Essentially, there's no right answer as to whether it's okay or not that Facebook follows us around the web in order to understand more about us. Some people like that, because further understanding consumers is both beneficial for businesses and consumers. Other people don't like it, because they don't appreciate Facebook learning more than they should know already.
Personally, I think that there's a line between being comfortable with their use of our online information and being uncomfortable with it, but so far, the line hasn't been crossed.
If you're interested, check out all of the 98 data points that Facebook uses to targets ads to you.


The Waterloo PBM passive beam module has been designed to provide a comfortable and competitive method of space conditioning that is suitable for all concealed or surface mounting applications. With its quick and easy method of mounting the series SBM Surface Beam Module passive chilled beam is suitable for single handed installation on a 4000mm module size.
There is a choice of case options that combines aesthetic flexibility with the correct free area to ensure that natural convection takes place. The process of cooling by natural convection offers an effective and draught free environment that has no system noise and allows the occupant to work in pleasant environment that is self balancing: as the heat load in the room increases and the velocity of the convected air accelerates through the cooling coil: the beam becomes more efficient. This process is reversed when the heat load decreases. The maximum beam length in one module is 4000mm.
To meet the demands of the modern building the Waterloo VBM Void Beam Module passive chilled beam is available in a wide choice of length, width and height dimensions that provide a comprehensive choice when selecting chilled beams to offset the heat load in any size of building.
Outlet pipe connections can be made either horizontally or vertically and can be supplied with control valves, shut off valves, air vents and flexible connections factory fitted to enable speedy installation of the chilled beam. Modular connection of any combination of beam length is available with horizontal connections.

CMJ 2014 – Mark, Get Set, Go
Oct 22, 2014 Miss Ntertainment 0
The CMJ Marathon has hit New York once again. Since I'm such a fan of music and and of marathons, it's only natural that this would make me very, very happy – as it should anyone who's looking to find new tunes to add to their playlists.
Previous CMJ festivals have introduced me to the likes of Alabama Shakes, Penguin Prison, Augustines and Morning Parade, as well as a bunch of new friends made along the way.
On Tuesday night, I headed out to Hotel Chantelle for a South African music showcase, the first time one has ever been put on at CMJ. An artist called Yolanda opened the floor with a few dance-y, pop tracks, but it was Beatenberg and Christian Tiger School that captured the cosy heart of Hotel Chantelle.
I've watched from afar as both acts have made names for themselves on the music scene in South Africa, building reputations over the past few years that have travelled across the Interwebs and created a small but burgeoning buzz State-side.
Electro whizzkids Christian Tiger School performed at SXSW earlier this year, and, on the back of two albums, they've opened for the likes of Little Dragon and Hudson Mohawke at home. Capetonians Luc Veermeer and Sebastiano Zanasi turned Tuesday night on its head, twisting and tuning beats, knocking out any trace of early-week stress. They're planning on doing it again at Xander Ferreira's weekly Happy Show in Brooklyn on Thursday.
Beatenberg, who played before the duo, have this way of combining catchy pop tunes with sincere, heartfelt lyrics and driving kwaito-styled rhythms that makes them irresistible. Their collaboration with DJ Clock, Pluto (Remember) has been a staple on many playlists this year (including my marathon-training one!), and their debut album The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg is filled with wholesome goodness. This was their first time playing in the US, and they impressed the crowd so I look forward to their return soon.
With Beatenberg's Ross Dorkin, Matthew Field and Robin Brink. Karl Largerfeld cameo courtesy street artist Bradley Theodore
This year's new CMJ CEO, Adam Klein, happens to be South African, and he told me he's working on plans to make more artists from there play here in the Big Apple. The SA bands that have played over here usually bust their guts on their own to get here for a showcase – like the Parlotones and Jessie Clegg – so it would be good if there was a little more help to bring them over. Bands from all over the world head to NYC for CMJ so it's only right, and in the name of good music, that South African acts should too.
CMJ runs until October 25th.

Can I Complete a Master's in Psychology Part-Time?
Any student who thinks that he or she doesn't have time to finish an advanced degree should consider earning a part-time Master's in Psychology. Many of the top programs in the country understand that students today need to work and spend time with their loved ones, which is why those colleges offer part-time programs designed to help students finish the program at a pace that works for them. You will still take all the required classes and complete the same requirements full-time students do, but you take fewer courses each semester.
Before applying to a psychology program, you need to decide what you hope to do in the future and the career path that interests you. While some schools offer a general psychology graduate program, most schools offer specialized programs that focus on a specific area of the field. Industrial organizational psychology focuses on helping companies and business owners identify problems associated with employees, while social psychology deals more with why people act in certain ways around specific groups of people. Other specialized studies options inclued: cinical psychology, forensic psychology, and counseling.
Why Go to School Part-Time?
A part-time Master's in Psychology provides students a number of benefits. Part-time students often have the option of taking classes on campus, online or a combination of both types of courses. Some schools also offer courses that meet for three to four hours on Saturday afternoon or on a weekday night. These concentrated classes let you devote a single day of the week to the classtime and the rest of the week to work on any required assignments. Part-time students also have more flexibility when it comes to choosing courses and finishing their degrees.
The biggest difference between going to graduate school full-time and going to school part-time is access to financial aid as a part-time student. Many graduate schools do not offer student loans to part-time students, however there are grants and private or alternative student loans that are available. You may also find that schools only give you a certain amount of time to complete your degree. However, in most instances the timeframe is extended for part-time students, usually to within five years of starting the program.
As part of your studies, schools often ask that you write a thesis or complete a final project before graduating. John Cone, who wrote a book to help students pick a dissertation topic, suggests that students look at what appeals to them and pick a topic that interests them. Cone points out that you'll spend several semesters working on that project and that you want to choose something that you can stick with. As a part-time student, you may have more time to work on your thesis, finding inspiration from professors, other students, psychology journals and your daily life.
Psychology is the study of human thought and behavior. While you may learn some general knowledge about the topic as an undergraduate, you will need to pursue graduate studies for most career paths in Psychology. As a part-time student, you have the flexibility to balance all aspects of your life, however you may face challenges securing financial aid. A part-time Master's in Psychology program lets you complete the same courses as full-time students, usually in an extended timeframe, starting you on a career path in Psychology.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Terry Serpico is a film and television supporting actor. Although he studied acting in college, graduating from SUNY-Purchase in 1989, Serpico began his career as a stunt performer. Pretty soon, his chances expanded as directors realized he also could act. In 1997, he appeared in Donnie Brasco, where he played his first major acting role. Since then, his credits have included appearances in ambitious vehicles such as The Peacemaker, Random Hearts, Bringing Out the Dead, Hannibal, Righteous Kill, The Interpreter, and two of the biggest blockbuster films of the past few years: the Academy Award winner The Departed and the Academy Award–nominated Michael Clayton. In television, Serpico has guest-starred on such shows as Law & Order, CSI: Miami, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The Bronx is Burning, and has enjoyed a recurring role in Rescue Me. On the Lifetime series Army Wives, Serpico portrays Lieutenant Colonel Frank Sherwood, a tough officer married to Denise Sherwood (Catherine Bell) with a son, Jeremy (Richard Bryant), who has recently enlisted. A featured character on the show, Serpico appeared in 12 episodes of the first two seasons, and became a series regular in season 3. An Army brat himself who lived on five different bases as a child, Serpico says of the Frank Sherwood role: "I didn't really have to work so hard to prepare for [this role] because it is a part of me; it's in my blood."


Do you want to raise a Healthy Baby?
Healthy baby = Happy Baby = Happy Parents = Happier Life!
Vitamin K: Is it worth the shot?
Till your baby reaches the age of 6 months, all s/he should have is milk. Healthy beginnings lead to a healthy life. So make sure you are satisfied with whatever choice you make between breastfeeding and bottle-feeding (or you can use a combination of both). You can always weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both feeding techniques to come up with the technique that suits you the most.
How can we prevent our baby from falling sick? The answer is simple.
1. Make sure the surroundings are clean and baby equipment (feeding bottles, pacifiers, breast-pump, and teethers, etc.) are properly sterilized.
2. Newborn babies don't go out too often, but they still need a bath. Check out our Baby Bath section to know when (and how) to bathe them and when to use a sponge instead.
3. Make sure you have baby-proofed your home wisely, and specially taken care of the areas that are mostly forgotten.
4. Ensure your baby is sleeping well.
5. Massages are so under-rated! If you don't do it already, give your little one a 5-minute daily massage and see the difference. Your baby will sleep well and feel good. Don't we all feel relaxed after a good massage, then why won't our baby feel the same?
It is wiser to understand what your baby is going through and control the situation, instead of running to the doctor every time your baby misses a poop or gets his/her nose blocked. A lot of times parents can easily handle the situation at home, saving time, money and effort. Even in case of serious issues, it is better to have an idea about various baby health problems so you can identify on time. A healthy baby is a happy baby. And who doesn't want to have one?
Become your newborn's first and foremost doctor - just a cry away!

The Christmas holiday is upon us, and we're pretty sure when you hear the words "wreath" and "garland," Christmas decorations spring to mind. But we aren't talking about those fragrant signs of the season. We are talking about a stylish take on Wedding Cakes that has nothing to do with Santa and his reindeer, but has everything to do with a perfect desert on your wedding day cake table.
These whimsical wedding cakes are adorned with wreaths, or garlands, or swags of something beautiful. These bakery delights can be topped with anything from handmade sugar confections to natural elements – and therefore they can lend themselves to any style wedding decor. For example, if you are planning a feminine-but-rustic nuptial, take a peak at this glorious customized cake by Baker's Brew Studio, which features hydrangeas, greens and twigs. It is the absolute perfect combination of girly & foresty. Perched atop of wood slice, the swag of loveliness accentuates the delicateness of the pale pink ombre cake. We know, you want a matching crown to wear. We do too.
Are you going with mocha and peach tones for your wedding palette? Get inspired by this yummy milk chocolate and gold three-tiered cake from designer Susan Trianos which features a twig wreath, leaves, tiny beaded pods and one gorgeous rose.
One of the easiest ways to incorporate a greenery garland is to simply encircle the base of a cake. We love the clean, fresh look which would be a snap to recreate for yourself very affordably. Just purchase a white cake and wrap a garland around it. Use a fresh strand of greenery from your florist, or purchase an artificial one.
We are enchanted with the posh British cake design house Rosalind Miller's botanical collection, (image by Mowie Kay) seen below. Swags of sugar florals never looked more gorg!
However you envision your special day, there is the perfect garland or wreath cake for you. You'll love it so much it will feel like Christmas!


(NewsUSA) - Many individuals who struggle with food and weight may be undiagnosed with the mental health illness of binge eating disorder (BED), according to a leading health pscychologist.
"The good news is that BED is highly treatable," says health psychologist Dr. Julie Friedman of Eating Recovery Center.
"The bad news is that most people have never heard of BED and have no idea how to get treatment," she adds.
BED is a disorder, not simply a lack of will power or inability to follow a diet, Dr. Friedman says.
"Unaware that they have a mental health disorder, binge eaters typically blame themselves, and the anxiety and stress associated with these negative thoughts can be considerable," she emphasizes.
"Binge eating changes your brain in a way that makes your cravings for food and your urge to binge worse," says Dr. Friedman.
"Your dopamine receptors start to drop out because your body is overwhelmed by the amount of rewards you're getting in one sitting.
"As you lose more and more of these receptors, your body stops producing the dopamine hormone, so you're constantly looking for the next fix, which can only be satisfied by more bingeing," she explains.
"People think they can stop binge eating on their own, but unless the brain chemistry is addressed it's not really possible," she says.
Dr. Friedman identifies several signs that indicate that a binge eater needs professional medical treatment, including feeling out of control around food or "addicted" to food, binge eating at least once a week, eating large amounts before bed or during the night, and feeling guilty and depressed after binge eating.
To this end, traditional eating disorder treatment focuses more on restrictive patterns of eating, such as anorexia, while the Eating Recovery Center's Binge Eating Treatment and Recovery Program (BETR) focuses on restricting and binging.
"We have treatment centers across the country: the treatment program is tailored to treat BED patients," Friedman says.
"Our centers are all designed to be comfortable and accessible for patients of all weights, shapes and sizes with specialty furniture, medical equipment, and space planning designed to make any patient of any size feel at home."
"A team of physicians, therapists and dieticians not only treat the eating behaviors but also the underlying issues such as depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and addictions such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or gaming,"?she adds.
BETR is covered by most major commercial insurance plans.
"BETR is a one-stop shop. We treat it all under one roof," she says.
* 75 percent say they feel less anxious or depressed.

Displaying Locations 55-59 of 732
300 Brazier Street Location Map
Establishing shot.
Location: NW corner Brazier & Harbison; South Face
Occupant: Elmwood Curling Club
District: East Kildonan
Neighbourhood: Chalmers
Artist(s): Dorothy Streilein, Lindi Hildebrande
Sponsors: Take Pride Winnipeg!, General Paint, Wyatt Rentals
The Elmwood Curling Club was started in the fall of 1910 when Dr. James A. McTavish, Ed Spice and Alex Brown drove around Elmwood in a horse and buggy selling $25.00 shares to build a curling rink in Elmwood. They were able to raise enough money to build their rink so in the early days of 1911 they were curling in a modest structure. The Elmwood Curling Club has been at this location all that time but in 1956 the curlers got tired of the old club and natural ice and decided to build a new facility with an artificial ice plant. The result was the present modern curling facility that is still called Elmwood today.
The Mural which graces the Elmwood Curling Club covers 2,100 square feet, and was commissioned in 1997. While each of the three panels depicts a certain aspect of curling, taken together the panels symbolize a sheet of curling ice with a house (rings) located at either end.
The first panel (photo 2) represents the sport of curling in its infancy in Winnipeg. As curling clubs were few, curlers frequented the rivers to play their game. After cleaning a space on the river, the house was etched onto the river ice surface. Brooms used to sweep the curling stones were wide straw-brooms similar to the brooms used to sweep the floor. The wide broom was typically used from the early 1900's and well into the 1950's. The curling stones used were owned by individual curlers and were delivered to the game-site by horse drawn sleigh. The curling stone illustration, which frames the river scene, was typical of the style of stones first used in Winnipeg. A tassel draped over the handle was used so that the owner could identify his own set of stones. On the right side of the river scene, straw brooms evolved into a narrower version. The trophy silhouette on the left depicts one of the earlier trophies presented to the Canadian ladies' curling champions. The MacDonald Lassie trophy was presented from 1973 to 1979. The trophy silhouette on the right depicts the first trophy presented to the Canadian men's curling champions. The MacDonald Brier trophy was presented from 1927 to 1979.
The second panel (photo 3) depicts the types of leagues present in the sport of curling: Junior Women, Women, Senior Women, Junior Men, Men, Senior Men and Mixed leagues. Curling is one of the few sports for all ages. The Elmwood crest in the centre of the panel proudly represents the curling tradition that has existed since 1911 in the Elmwood community. The Elmwood Curling Club is the third oldest curling club in Winnipeg.
The third panel (photo 4) represents the present state of curling. The house etched in river ice has become a brightly coloured set of rings. The straw broom has evolved into a push-style, which, originally made from horsehair, has now turned into a synthetic version. The centre image depicts the ice area of the Elmwood Curling Club; five sheets of artificial ice with young and old, male and female enjoying the game of curling. The curling stone framing the image represents the present-day curling stone complete with a longer coloured handle. The trophy silhouette on the left depicts the Scott Tournament of Hearts trophy presented to the Canadian ladies' curling champions. The trophy, in existence since 1982, is surrounded by four red Scott Hearts; symbolizing the effort, commitment, dedication and sportsmanship that each team member brings in order to become the Canadian ladies champion. The trophy silhouette on the right depicts the Labatt Brier trophy presented to the Canadian men's curling champions. The trophy, in existence since 1980, is surrounded by four purple hearts which symbolizes the effort, commitment, dedication and sportsmanship that each team member brings in order to become the Canadian men's champion. To date, Manitoba men and women have won over 30 Canadian curling championships. Elmwood teams winning a Canadian curling championship include the Dr. Bill McTavish rink (1973), the Norm Houck rink (1987) and the Jim Ursel rink (1990).
The Mural is a bright and colourful tip-of-the-hat to the sport of Curling in our city, and certainly beautifies the iceshed from its former drab appearance (photo 5). It became a reality due primarily to the hard work of the 1997 Elmwood Mural committee (photo 7) and the artists too, of course (photo 6). Bruce Huchko, who sat as Chair of that committee, looks back on the project with a great sense of pride and accomplishment.

A Definitive Ranking of All Four 'Toy Story' Movies
By Brandon Katz • 06/13/19 12:00pm
Where does Toy Story 4 rank among the immaculate franchise? Disney/Pixar
To paraphrase Don Draper, nostalgia is delicate, but potent. It is a desire to return to a time and place gone by. It's painful, like showering with a sunburn, yet wonderfully uplifting. It is in that emotional space that Pixar lives (more like thrives), teaching children lessons of the world and reminding adults of the paths they once walked with the innocent obliviousness of youth. No set of films in the studio's illustrious track record better exemplify this than the Toy Story franchise.
Stretching from the 1995 original to Toy Story 4, arriving in theaters next Friday, this 24-year-old franchise is the rare series never to produce a sub-par entry. Each installment is brilliant and heartfelt and wonderful in its own unique way—which is likely what Woody would say about each and every toy.
With the understanding that you can't go wrong with any of them, here is a ranking of the four Toy Story movies.
Subscribe to Observer's Entertainment Newsletter
To say that Toy Story 4 is the lowest-ranking movie in the franchise is like saying pizza is your third-favorite food. You're still talking about a Hall of Fame addition.
I was always of the firm belief that Toy Story 3 was the perfect conclusion to the series with Andy generously bequeathing his childhood toys onto a precocious young girl before going off to college. But Toy Story 4 is a beautiful sendoff in its own way, especially for audiences that have grown up right alongside the series.
The fourth film brings Woody's story full-circle, thrusting him further into a parental role to kids and new toys alike before bringing that life experience to its natural conclusion. The movie is meant to remind you that after years of taking care of others, it's OK to take care of yourself, too. There's an assurance that if you're ever feeling lost, you can find yourself again, even in unexpected ways. Yes, before you ask, you will cry. But you'll also laugh. A lot.
In between the waves of charm and whimsy is the fact that Toy Story 4 is the funniest film in the franchise by far. Nearly every scene has a perfectly structured joke (Forky's love of trash, evil ventriloquist dummy henchmen, Key & Peele doing Key & Peele things, etc.). Keanu Reeves, as expected, emerges as a clear scene-stealer.
You're gonna love it.
It might seem blasphemous to have the series' first sequel ranked this low—it's basically The Godfather II of animated follow-ups. But remember, each Toy Story movie is an instant classic.
Toy Story 2 is the net-positive of clever sentiment—think Steven Spielberg mixed with John Mulaney. It's a feeding frenzy of visual gags (Bullseye covering his nether regions, Hamm humiliated when his coins comes spilling out of him) and a deepening of our bonds to these characters. Toy Story 2 is 14 minutes longer than the incredibly tight 81-minute original, giving us more time to sit with the shockingly relatable interpersonal dynamics of these toys. Still, it's not nearly long enough to satisfy our love for this treasure trove.
Introduction to new characters such as Jessie the Cowgirl and a backstory for Woody serve as excellent world-building elements that expand the scope of the franchise (and, cynically, sell more toys). But what Toy Story 2 does best is sell specificity as understanding. Who among us hasn't fantasized about something grander for our lives, much like when Woody discovers he's a full-fledged celebrity? Toy Story 2 makes us feel seen while we deeply relate to the experiences on the screen. That's something most movies simply can't match.
2. Toy Story
The 1995 original, the work of Disney and Pixar, is a medium-redefining movie. It was the first full-length feature to be created entirely with computer-generated animation. The film inspired industries of all manner to investigate this new visual technology. Personal computers were suddenly inundated with new graphics capabilities; video game developers opted for new ways of rendering characters and objects; even artificial intelligence experts hoped develop Pixar-like characters. Hell, a Buzz Lightyear action figure was actually taken into space! If that isn't a legacy, what is?
While Toy Story left a lasting footprint on the macro, its poignant and light touch with the micro is what makes it truly special. The film is an allegory for family and the ebbs and flows that define such relationships. Connections that are founded on love can't be severed by petty squabbles as family, unintentionally or not, is what drives us to learn about our own flaws. It's a toy version of the real world, thus making Toy Story a beautiful lesson in humanism, which ascribes value to the natural and innate rather than divine or supernatural matters. This serves as a through line for the entire franchise and establishes Toy Story as the most mature animated kid's movie in history.
Really, Toy Story is an adult tale of finding purpose and self-worth and that cuts right to the heart of life's immovable challenges.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2EwPmNe9kA
Maybe I'm biased because, much like Andy in this movie, I saw Toy Story 3 in theaters as an 18-year-old just weeks away from heading off to college. Or, maybe Toy Story 3 really is the most mature and emotional film in the franchise. The debate might come down to what you value in your entertainment—singular moments of standout excellence or consistent quality throughout. Toy Story 3 boasts, without a doubt, the most striking scene in the entire series, a record-scratch moment with all of the cheerful humor stripped clean.
With the gang of toys trapped in a garbage incinerator, Jessie desperately asks "What do we do?" as the Toy Story movies take a decidedly darker turn into mortal tangibility. A resigned Buzz wanly takes her hand as the rest of the toys slowly link together and resign themselves to their fate with the flames growing ever closer. They accept the inevitable.
Shit just got real.
Of course our beloved animated friends are eventually saved by the green aliens who worship "the claaaawwww." But for a minute, you truly believe this is it, they're all doomed. And in that moment, there is a clarity so heart-wrenching that you feel the universe fold in on itself. By accepting their deaths with admirable grace, these characters transcended toys and films to become, however briefly, the most human versions of us all. It is our species incarnate, fighting against the certainty of demise until the last moment when noble acceptance leads us into the next journey. And it is staggering.

'CBS De Kinderkring' in Woubrugge wants kids to be aware of all the possibilities the future holds for them. And the energy transition is one of the most important topics today says Marianne Hebbink (headmaster of de Kinderkring). That's why she decided to team up with the local municipality to get a Gamer in their public schoolyard. Both kids and teachers are wildly enthusiastic about The Gamer. One teacher even stays till late so she can play on The Gamer in the dark ;).


The early stages of development of the human embryo are studied in culture for up to 10-13 days in two separate studies published in Nature and Nature Cell Biology this week. Both studies show that, even in a petri dish, human embryos can self-organize - a process involving cell divisions and shape rearrangements - and that the changes they undergo are similar to those that occur in the presence of maternal cues.
Although very early stages of human embryo development have been studied before, so far it has been challenging to keep human embryos in a petri dish past the seventh day of development, when they usually implant into the womb. Ali Brivanlou and colleagues, writing in a paper published in Nature, and Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz and colleagues, writing in a separate paper in Nature Cell Biology, have shown that the human embryo can self-organize in a petri dish. Using a technique previously developed by the second set of authors for culturing mouse embryos, both groups report various events taking place up to 10-13 days of development, from the formation of the blastocyst - an embryo stage in which cell divisions are underway - to the post-implantation stage, which occurs after the embryo has adhered to the wall of the womb, or, in this case, an attachment substrate. These observations highlight developmental differences between mouse and human embryos, including cell-type specification and tissue organization.
In accordance with internationally recognised guidelines, the experiments were concluded before 14 days into development or the formation of a line of cells known as the primitive streak. In a Comment piece published in Nature this week, Insoo Hyun, Amy Wilkerson and Josephine Johnston explain that the 14-day rule has been effective at permitting research on embryos within strict constraints in part because, until now, it has been technologically challenging for scientists to break it. They stress that this rule was "never intended to be a bright line denoting the onset of moral status in human embryos." Instead, they write, it is "a public-policy tool designed to carve out a space for scientific inquiry and simultaneously show respect for the public's diverse views on research on human embryos." Any decision to revise the rule in light of the evolving science and its potential benefits must depend on how well the proposed changes can achieve these two chief goals, the authors argue. They recommend that any future processes of consensus-building involve experts, policy makers, patients and concerned citizens.
The last paragraph of this press release refers to a Nature Comment piece, not a Nature research paper. Comment pieces are topical, authoritative Op-Eds pertaining to scientific research and its ramifications.


Amsterdam restaurant review: Vegan ramen - (Men) Impossible?!
Think of ramen, and you likely think of the thick porcine bone stock of tonkotsu, or the medicinal richness of chicken broth. Plus, of course, there's the toppings: silky yellow egg yolks, still soft in their boiled whites; the porchetta-like depth of flavour of char siu; perhaps some meatballs… I doubt your imagination floats in the direction of vegan noodle soup. At least mine didn't.
But what with Vegetarian January in full swing again this year, and given that I get a ramen craving at least once a fortnight, I clearly needed to find an alternative to my tonkotsu addiction. Enter Men Impossible: a communal-dining experience in the Jordaan, at which for €25 you can eat your fill of vegan ramen plus a veggie starter, drink and tea.
I tried their yuzu beer, which had barely a hint of yuzu but was just a really nice Japanese beer. Light and fruity and not too bitter. At the same time, I tucked into my starter of aubergine topped with a sweet miso dressing. The flavour was good, but the aubergine was a tad undercooked, and the whole thing was, well, tiny.
But cracking on with the main event: the Red Dragon Ramen. These are tsukemen – dipping ramen – the noodles hand-rolled, and the broth a thick, umami-rich, spicy, miso- and tomato-based soup. I must admit the noodles had an extremely satisfying bite and the soup was very generous in flavour, despite the lack of animal products. It also came with some shredded vegetables (raw carrot and red cabbage), cooked courgette, crispy fried onions, and a mushroom that I steered well clear of. Better still was the accompanying spoonful of black garlic oil that added an extra depth and savoury note to the whole dish.
We skipped the tea on offer in favour of heading back into the grachten for a cocktail at Tess Posthumus's new venture: Flying Dutchman. But with or without tea, €25 seems like rather a lot for a bowl of soup, a slice of aubergine and a beer – albeit they were pretty well done. I doubt Men Impossible will be replacing my ramen fix once Vegetarian January is over, but for now I'm happy to have found out that vegan ramen is – after all – possible. And I expect many other vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian Amsterdammers will be too.


"We're so busy navigating concrete jungles and determinedly juggling schedules with mindless routine, it's a welcome rarity for many of us to experience true postcard perfection. But walking in the shadows of New Zealand's Southern Alps, Micah Templeton-Wolfe found that the snow-capped surroundings stirred something as he travelled through the south of the country.
A track that hums into life from atmospheric beginnings, it feels like Karin Dreijer Andersson's warped yelp is lurking, ready to wickedly cut through the drone. Instead, 'Frozen Skies' evolves into a track of yearning discovery, its moody, glacial pace mirroring the cold beauty of the landscape that inspired it. Awash with fleeting builds and yearning strings, it feels like a mournful journey of a dying day; the sun sinking into the glacial lakes in the distance, a soundtrack to just staring ahead and seeing life, not death, in a ruggedly endless horizon."
'Frozen Skies' has been remixed by Herbstlaub and has been released on 'Uncharted Places' by A Strangely Isolated Place.

About Budrus
It takes a village to unite the most divided people on earth.
Budrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites local Fatah and Hamas members along with Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women's contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. In an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolence to confront a threat. The movie is directed by award-winning filmmaker Julia Bacha (co-writer and editor of Control Room and co-director Encounter Point), and produced by Bacha, Palestinian journalist Rula Salameh, and filmmaker and human rights advocate Ronit Avni (formerly of WITNESS, Director of Encounter Point). Read more information about the crew and cast.
While this film is about one Palestinian village, it tells a much bigger story about what is possible in the Middle East. Ayed succeeded in doing what many people believe to be impossible: he united feuding Palestinian political groups, including Fatah and Hamas; he brought women to the heart of the struggle by encouraging his daughter Iltezam's leadership; and welcoming hundreds of Israelis to cross into Palestinian territory for the first time and join this nonviolent effort. Many of the activists who joined the villagers of Budrus are now continuing to support nonviolence efforts in villages from Bil'in to Nabi Saleh to Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem.
Budrus includes diverse voices-- from the Palestinian leaders of the movement and their Israeli allies to an Israeli military spokesman, Doron Spielman, and Yasmine Levy, the Israeli border police captain stationed in the village at that time. While many documentaries about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict either romanticize the notion of peace, or dwell entirely on the suffering of victims to the conflict, this film focuses on the success of a Palestinian-led nonviolent movement.
In a keynote address immediately following the world premiere of Budrus at a Gala screening at the Dubai International Film Festival in December 2009, Her Majesty Queen Noor Al Hussein of Jordan praised the film, stating that Budrus: "Gives an enormous amount of hope... It's a story which will have an impact and can help bring [about] change."
Budrus received the Panorama Audience Award, Second Prize, at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2010. It will be screening in world-renowned festivals around the world throughout 2010. Visit our Events page to find it in a theater or festival near you. For information regarding the rights of the film, and how to bring it to your community, visit the Budrus FAQ.
Just Vision has been laying a foundation for the strategic outreach campaign that we will launch in conjunction with Budrus by reaching out to a wide range of journalists, influential figures, community leaders, policymakers, students and educators in order to ensure that the film is seen, covered in the press as well as incorporated into community and educational programming.
For questions, please call 059-820-0114 or 02-582-7363

The Conference Board, a private research group, said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index rose to 53.5, up from a revised 51.0 in July. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters (TRI) had expected 50.5. "Expectations about future business and labor market conditions have brightened somewhat, but overall, consumers remain apprehensive about the future," said in a statement Lynn Franco, director of the Conference Board Consumer Research Center.


This is how you'll find me on most of my days off, sitting on the couch with my Mac watching TV (now accompanied by Layla.) I lead a very exciting life, no? These photos are from Friday, I had the day off and spent my morning watching tv (Gilmore Girls for those of you who can tell from the screenshot.) It was an icky, rainy morning so I didn't really feel like going anywhere. After that I headed to my parents house and my mom, dad and I had tons of junk food for dinner. Fried shrimp, french fries, biscuits, milkshakes! And then brownies for dessert...yummm!
As you can see I go with very comfortable outfits, if I get dressed at all (which I obviously did this day.) What do you usually do/wear on your off days?
I am all about the comfy and cozy sweats on my days off...usually accompanied by a blanket and an all-day spot on the couch!
Oh gosh. I was watching that episode of Gilmore Girls too.
It's defintiely a challenge to get dressed on a rainy day. If I must, it's usually jeans and a comfy top. If it's super hot out, I've got some 'lazy' dresses I like to wear. But getting dressed is always important, sometimes just putting on your lazy clothes is enough to get you motivated to leave the couch. Sometimes.
I am ALLLL about sweats on my days off!
Gilmore Girls is my FAVORITE :) Love sweat pants and live in them when I'm relaxing!
I love the Gilmore Girls! And yeah, comfort is definitely a must on days off!
I love Gilmore Girls!!! Such a great show! I'm in yoga pants and tees most days or pajamas if I'm being 100% honest.
I LOVE days like these. I tend to wear lounge clothing, just 'cause it's the most comfortable.
I see you were in good company !
You look so comfy! I def am comfy at home usually a tank and yoga pants.
Comfy outfit for a rainy day = perfect.

Denmark is to get a "renewable energy island." Before the next decade, the island of Samsø, off the sheltered east coast of Jutland, will become 100% self sufficiently powered with renewables. Even transportation will be affected to a large degree. A summer tourist destination, Samsø is roughly 300 square kilometres in size and is already home to several wind turbines. The renewable energy island initiative stems from the government's "Energy 21" plan, which gives renewables a large role in future Danish power supplies. The plan calls for 35% of Denmark's energy use to come from green energy by 2030. Samsø will apply DKK 70 million to the project, excluding private investment and government subsidy. Presently Samsø's use of green energy meets 12-15% of its needs, excluding transportation. "With Samsø we can create a significant international demonstration project and a shop window for Danish energy technology," says environment and energy minister Svend Auken.


Russia's advanced Ratnik infantry gear's manufacturers have released a variant of its combat smart glasses just for schoolkids.
"In fact, it is a personal monitor, which may be employed by both pupils and their teachers to exhibit the required data," people behind the army collector stated as they introduced the gadget with an expo at Moscow on Thursday.
The eyeglasses are simple to use as they adapt to the wearer's visual understanding. They stay resistant to shaking at all moment and require no refocusing. The device doesn't need an independent power supply and can be plugged into any notebook. The difference between the army and the variations is that the latter lacks the protection that is anti-splinter and anti-bullet.
The Russian military has used Ratnik gear for several years. The repurposed glasses are derived from a next-gen version of a battle system that is due to be introduced later 2020.

Seamless and celebratory, it's a day we (and he!) will never forget for its cheer, joy, active and smile-inducing play. Hosted at Gymboree for a "here, take my money so all I have to do is bring cupcakes," it began late afternoon with gaggle of our nearest and dearest, which slowly grew to more than 30, many of them little friends under age two, delighting in the primary colors and craziness ensuing around them. Tottering over slides, bouncing of padded obstacles courses, chasing flavored bubbles, clapping to songs, leaping from heights, tucking and rolling in parachutes and some who had just sitting staring in wonder - it was a sight to be seen. Those sans wee ones hung nearby, sharing in the laughter, catching photo opps and unearthing their child-like spirit stuck deep within their souls.
the birthday boy went out with a bang. Literally.
Catching his two front teeth and lip on the edge of what once had been laced in primary colors, streamers and bicycle-themed items for his special day. Alas, like most kid incidents, no harm no foul and was quickly cured with a now almost fully recovered Grandpa pretending to fall into a faux tree.
So yah, we went out with a bang. And what a bash it was.

The Security Council Meeting About The Iran Nuclear Deal
Published on July 2, 2022, 7:09 p.m. by Ziboliom
On Thursday, June 30, the world powers in the Security Council criticized Iran and the United States for not agreeing on the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), and the EU envoy warned that the talks might not conclude.
The reason for holding the meeting of the Security Council on Thursday was to review the report of Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Organizations, on the implementation of the Iran Deal.
At this meeting, among the permanent members of the Security Council, the representatives of France and Britain blamed Iran, while the representatives of China and Russia blamed the United States for the situation.
The meeting was held a day after the unprofitable end of indirect Iran-US talks in Doha.
Both Iran and the United States defended themselves in this meeting and considered the failure of the talks as the result of the demands of the opposing parties.
According to Ayatollah Khamenei's order, Iranian diplomats are not allowed to negotiate directly with the American side. Therefore, The European Union is in charge of coordinating the negotiations, and in Qatar, it took on the role of mediator and messenger between Iranian and American diplomats.
Before the meeting of the Security Council on Thursday, representatives of Britain, Germany, and France, which are among the signatories of the Iran Nuclear Deal, issued a statement and raised sharp criticisms against Iran.
The statement said that Iran's nuclear program has "reached its most advanced point" compared to the past and Tehran has taken "unprecedented steps" to develop its nuclear program in the past three years.
European powers say that the increasing development of Iran's nuclear program has made the implementation of the Iran deal more difficult than in the past.
One year after the US government withdrew from the Iran Deal, Iran gradually stopped implementing the restrictions of this agreement. As a result, the nuclear program was developed far beyond the Iran Deal red line.
In this statement, the representatives of Britain, Germany, and France asked Iran to use the opportunity that has arisen and stop developing its nuclear program.
The statement also mentioned that according to UN Security Council Resolution 2231, Iran is not allowed to produce missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
Further, these three countries condemned Iran's "destabilizing actions in the region" and asked Iran to stop "developing its ballistic missile program" based on the provisions of Resolution 2231.
In this meeting, representatives of China and Russia supported Iran.
The representative of China asked the United States to end unilateral sanctions on Iran, and the representative of Russia asked both sides to show more flexibility.
At the same time, a senior American official told Reuters that the chances of revitalizing the Iran Deal have weakened after the Doha negotiations.
He pointed out that in his opinion, the real problem of the negotiations is the indecisiveness of the Iranian authorities:
"Their vague demands, reopening of settled issues, and requests unrelated to the JCPOA all suggest to us ... that the real discussion that has to take place is (not) between Iran and the U.S. to resolve remaining differences. It is between Iran and Iran to resolve the fundamental question about whether they are interested in a mutual return to the JCPOA," the senior U.S. official said.
Majid Takhtrovanchi, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, defended Tehran's positions.
: "Iran is looking for verifiable guarantees from the United States so that the JCPOA is not destroyed again and the United States does not violate its obligations again and the sanctions do not return with excuses and (terrorist) accusations."
He said that Iran participated in the Doha talks with "honesty" and a "positive and constructive" approach.
The representative of Iran also emphasized that Tehran is ready to participate in "constructive negotiations" once again.
