My Mother's Scrapbook: Clyde River First Island Community to have a Coat of Arms (1994)
November 24, 2013/History
Clyde River Coat of Arms
Nineteen years ago this month, Clyde River became the first community in Prince Edward Island to have a Coat of Arms. The following historical document explains the history leading up to Clyde River achieving their own coat of arms and the meaning of the elements featured. (Hazel Beer collection):
Prior to 1988, Canadian individuals, corporations or organizations in general who wished to have lawful armorial bearings were required to petition Queen Elizabeth II's traditional Heraldic officers at the College of Arms in London, England.
On June 4, 1988, by Royal Letters Patent, Her Majesty graciously transferred the exercise of her heraldic authority and prerogative to the Governor General of Canada. Today, a new Canadian Heraldic Authority exercises complete heraldic responsibility in Canada.
Clyde River Community, through its Council, as approved at the Annual General Meeting, petitioned the C.H.A. (Canadian Heraldic Authority) to carry its own armorial bearings. Permission has now been granted and the Coat of Arms designed and approved.
The motto on the Coat of Arms is jointly "Oigreachd: Heritage". Oigreachd is the Gaelic word for "Heritage". Gaelic was once spoken by many of the early settlers. A few of their descendants today can still recall the language being spoken at home.
The Coat of Arms includes a sheaf of wheat to denote local agriculture and a horseshoe indicative of local horse breeding and harness racing. It also has an oak tree. This provides a nice link between Prince Edward Island and the Clyde in Scotland, which also has an oak tree in its Coat of Arms. Another link is a blue and white band (or fesse in heraldic terms) which portrays the local River Clyde and the "parent" River Clyde in Scotland.
The crest is a unicorn, again a link to Scotland. The unicorn was the traditional heraldic beast of Scottish monarchs and was incorporated with the Royal Coat of Arms in 1603 under James I of England and James VI of Scotland.
Also on the crest is a suspended purple Celtic Cross, suitably recalling the long-standing association of the community with the church.
The mantling around the Coat of Arms acts as supporters; it is green and yellow, representing the familiar green foliage of our Island and its yellow sands.
Excerpt from History and Stories of Clyde River (p. 309):
On November 18th 1994, a ceremony to unveil the Clyde River Coat of Arms was held at the Riverview Community Centre. The project was spearheaded by Councillor Edward Edmonds who worked diligently to research and initiate the formalities necessary for a specific coat of arms. Thanks to Dr. Edmonds, Clyde River was the first community on Prince Edward Island to have its own official coat of arms. Honourable Marion Reid, Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island at the time, unveiled the Coat of Arms.
Excerpt on Dr. Edward Edmonds (from UPEI website):
Born in England, Dr. "Eddie" Edmonds studied under C.S Lewis while at Oxford University, earning his BA and master's of arts. He also earned a master's of education from Sheffield University and his PhD from Leeds University along with a number of university diplomas in literature, teaching, public administration, and educational administration before moving to Canada.
After teaching and serving as a department head at the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Edmonds came to the newly constituted University of Prince Edward Island, becoming the first dean of education. Dr. Edmonds is widely published, with many books to his credit (including two of poetry) and was recognized in later years for his long-time dedication to teaching history classes to seniors.
He was a long-standing fellow of the Royal Historical Society, knight of the Order of St. John, an honorary citizen of Texas, and served and held leadership positions in a number of professional, community and charitable organizations.

Lolita. Paris, 1955
In 1953, having nearly completed this "enormous, mysterious, heartbreaking novel" after "five years of monstrous misgivings and diabolical labors," Nabokov declared that it "has had no precedent in literature." He embarked on the quest for an American publisher, telling each of five houses - Viking, Simon & Schuster, New Directions, Farrar Straus, and Doubleday - to use the utmost discretion in allowing the manuscript to leave their desks. No one would publish it. The Partisan Review agreed to print a portion of it, but only on the condition that Nabokov sign the work. Fearing that he'd be identified with his protagonist, he decided that "its subject is such that V., as a college teacher, cannot very well publish it under his real name."
Then Madame Doussia Ergaz, Nabokov's de facto agent in Paris since the early 1930s, suggested Maurice Girodias and his Olympia Press. Years later, Nabokov would vehemently claim to have been unaware of the salacious, pseudonymously published "obscene novelettes" that were Girodias's bread and butter. On July 18, 1955, he wrote to his new publisher: "You and I know that Lolita is a serious book with a serious purpose. I hope the public will accept it as such. A succčs de scandale would distress me." Despite this hope, Lolita received no public attention until after it was banned in France under pressure from the British Home Office, along with many other Olympia Press titles. When Graham Greene included it in a year-end list of the three best novels of 1955, a public debate ensued between Greene in the London Times and John Gordon in the Sunday Express. Greene helped to shepherd the first English edition into print, writing to Nabokov that "in England one may go to prison, but there couldn't be a better cause!"
Though copies of the Girodias edition were making it into the United States, Nabokov still wished for - and deserved - an American edition. Jason Epstein hoped to convince Doubleday president Douglas Black to take the novel by playing upon Black's desire to refight the court battle he had recently lost over Edmund Wilson's The Memoirs of Hecate County. In an attempt to gain ground, Epstein arranged for an excerpt (about a third of the novel) to appear in Doubleday's June 1957 Anchor Review, with critical praise from Partisan Review editor F. W. Dupee. The Anchor volume featured Nabokov's specially written explanation of the genesis of the novel and his defense of it on the grounds of "aesthetic bliss": "On a Book Entitled Lolita." Throughout the summer and into the fall, Nabokov endured delays and denials by Doubleday, Simon & Schuster, and even Putnam's. He settled on the small independent publisher Ivan Obolensky, but when his offer, too, fell through, Putnam's made good on an earlier proposal, and went into production.
On publication day, Putnam's president Walter Minton sent a congratulatory telegram:
EVERYBODY TALKING OF LOLITA ON PUBLICATION DAY YESTERDAYS REVIEWS MAGNIFICENT AND NEW YORK TIMES BLAST THIS MORNING [panning the novel] PROVIDED NECESSARY FUEL TO FLAME 300 REORDERS THIS MORNING AND BOOK STORES REPORT EXCELLENT DEMAND CONGRATULATIONS ON PUBLICATION DAY.
By the end of the day, 2,600 orders had been received.

Steven B. Smith
Steven B. Smith: Your Mountain Is Waiting
RADIUS BOOKS
Published by Radius Books.
The work of photographer and Rhode Island School of Design professor Steven B. Smith (born 1963) chronicles the transition of the Western landscape into suburbia. Robert Pinsky, US Poet Laureate, wrote of his work, "Smith's images record not so much a contrast as two violent absences joining as a single force. Landfill, seedling, turnabout, heating coil collude with the sky and mountains in a triumph of disproportion: scale not so much confused or lost as irrelevant."
Steven B. Smith: Your Mountain Is Waiting documents the accelerating suburbanization of Smith's native Utah. Peeling back the layers of westward expansion with equal parts subtlety and irony, Smith captures the new McMansions springing up against the rocky, rust-red mountains and deep blue skies of the West. Smith is equally attentive to the cast of characters that fill these new landscapes—the people that build them, and the people that live in them.

The Earth Day Network is hosting "A Billion Acts of Green®" in 2012. The goal is to register one billion environmentally friendly actions in advance of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development happening in Rio de Janeiro in June, 2012. At the Rio de Janeiro event, The Earth Day Network will face world leaders to demonstrate that people are willing to stand up and be counted. The Earth Day Network will also participate in helping to secure political commitment for more sustainable development, assess progress towards internationally agreed commitments and continue to address new and unforeseen challenges. It's possible to register an act of green at Earth Day Network. For instance, using reusable grocery bags is an eco-friendly act that costs very little and saves so much. As of March 30th, more than 805,000,000 acts have been registered, so they are well on the way.
The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970. According to the Earth Day Network, from the first Earth Day activities, more than 20 million Americans from all walks of life have contributed to such accomplishments as pressuring government leaders for the passage of the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws. Growing out of the first Earth Day, the Earth Day Network is thriving with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. All of Earth Day Network's activities, whether promoting green economic policies at home or abroad, inform and energize communities to act in a way that will secure a healthy future this generation and beyond.
With their partner organizations, EDN provides community activity opportunities at the local, state, national and global levels. The Earth Day Network even works to broaden the definition of "environment" to include all issues that affect health, communities and the environment.
Along with asking individuals to pledge their own act of kindness towards the planet, there are also environmental events being held all over the world. Some of the events include a rally at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, April 22, 2012, where tens of thousands of environmentally conscious people, from all parts of the country, will be joined by civic leaders and celebrities to strengthen the environmental movement. Just recently, in Quertero Mexico, a play was held called, "Everyone Listen to the Call of the Earth", where environmental songs were sung, parents brought local dishes, and residents handed out posters and leaflets on recycling, the Reserve's biodiversity and protecting the important eco-systems in that area. In India, a group of people are planning to present a video about the importance of plants and trees for the continued survival of earth. This video will be presented on Earth Day.
Earth Day is April 22, 2012, but don't have to wait until Earth Day to get started helping the planet. There are all kinds of "Acts of Green" to choose from at A Billion Acts of Green® that can be pledged to do. It's possible to even create an original act of kindness and share it with the world to join in. From making schools more green, to using reusable shopping bags, the Earth Day Network leads people worldwide every year. In order to inspire global environmental activism, the Earth Day Network has chosen A Billion Acts of Green® as the theme for Earth Day 2012.

Obesity is inextricably linked to an excess of caloric intake and inadequate levels of physical activity. The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks the latter as the fifth largest contributor to global disease, while physical activity is ranked even higher – at fourth position. Excess weight and inadequate physical inactivity are two sides of one coin.
Is BMI a reliable measure of body fat?
Are increasing BMI levels equally indicative of health risk across all ages?
Can we dismiss the emerging case that that the risk-range of BMI should be changed?
A second area that will be looked at and challenged is the case that obesity is a relatively new human phenomenon, and that the rise in obesity is directly associated with the emergence of the modern food chain. There is very strong evidence to the contrary, and there is no credible scientific evidence behind the "ultra-processed" food concept. No nutrition-related medical conditions have ever been linked to the use of processing in food production and these conditions were entirely related to actual nutrient intake and not to the level of processing. The rationale behind the "ultra-processed" concept appears to be more political than scientific in nature, and we might caution regulators and policymakers to review the evidence before being influenced by activist movements in spite of their illogical and unscientific bases.
A third area to be looked at is the role of physical activity and of sedentary lifestyles in the emergence of obesity. A strong case can be made – that it is better to be fit and fat than sedentary and lean. Physical activity plays a far stronger role in the management of the complications of obesity (high blood pressure or high fasting blood glucose).
A fourth area is the regulation of food intake and the evidence that this probably has a stronger cultural dimension than it has a biological dimension. Why, in the same environment and with similar backgrounds, do some people eat more frequently and with greater portion sizes than others?
A fifth area will briefly cover the genetic determinants of adult obesity with a staggering inheritance factor of 0.75, much stronger than the genetic basis of issues such as depression, alcoholism and bone disease. The main contributing data in this area comes not from studies of individual or clusters of genes, but of the study of identical and non-identical twins.
Finally, we turn to actions to tackle obesity; the main argument here is that the emphasis, to date, has been on the top-down regulatory domain (tax, ban, restrict, label, etc.), with little emphasis on building community structures to enact a long-term ground-up approach to both weight management and weight loss. The issue of product reformulation will be considered.
Professor Michael J. Gibney is Professor of Food & Health in University College Dublin's School of Agriculture and Food Science, Director of the UCD Institute of Food and Health and Chairman of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. He is former president of The Nutrition Society, has served on several EU and United Nations (UN) committees on nutrition and health, and has published over 250 peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Professor Gibney will deliver a talk entitled "Obesity: Is the global food industry really to blame?" for the next FIA Lunch Series seminar, taking place at the FIA office on 29 September 2016. A few spaces are still available on a first-come, first-served basis. To register, please write to joaquim.tan@foodindustry.asia.

If nipping to your local farmer's market for an overpriced artichoke or halfheartedly watering the chilli plant on your window ledge is no longer cutting the mustard when it comes to local produce, go several steps further with one of these foraging experiences. Catering to the modern hunter-gatherer, you can be safe in the knowledge that there'll be a glass of something cold at the end.
It's pretty simple at this cookery school: forage with a professional ecologist, cook your ingredients, then feast on the fruits of your labour (by candlelight at a long farmhouse table). Named after an edible plant rather than a chubby chicken, Fat Hen celebrates this once staple crop, a spinach-like leaf yielding nutritious grain. From seaweed foraging to shellfish gathering or creating wild canapés, their courses are not only green-fingered but environmentally friendly too; they're dedicated to minimising their carbon footprint.
Fill your basket and belly with foraged fancies by joining the Taste the Wild crew (as seen on BBCs Escape to the Country and Countryfile). Venturing between the woodlands of North Yorkshire and the saltmarshes of Cumbria, join them in anything from picking fungi, brewing cider, making sausages or even concocting skin and hair products from foraged goods. Honouring wild plants for both body and soul, these guys are wholly committed to sustainability, seasonality and locality.
Chef and forager Matt Powell offers a lesson on luring saltwater creatures in the enigmatic Welsh waters. Bringing the outdoors in, gathered goods (he'll take you to the forest too) are brought back to the kitchen to be whipped into a meal celebrating the best wild produce in Wales. From humble acorns and gorse flowers to mountain lamb and pot-caught lobster, Matt ensures all things great and small make up your plate.
Simon Rogan's enchanting Cumbrian hideaway dominates the farm-to-table movement with an iconic riverside restaurant showcasing the finest homegrown, home-picked ingredients. Organic vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers from the farm take centre stage in the delicately designed menu; this is a lesson in the art of farm-to-fork fare. Book into neighbouring Aulis at L'Enclume for a behind-the-scenes kitchen-dining experience, and while you're at it you may as well stay the night in one of the charming bedrooms.
Nestled in the Cornish village of Lewannick, Coombeshead is a working farm, five-bed guesthouse, restaurant and bakery from chefs Tom Adams and April Bloomfield (of The Spotted Pig in New York). Set among 66 acres of woodland snaked with streams, it's ripe for foraging and the food is exceptional. Expect homemade yoghurt, bread, preserves and freshly milled oats and grains (for overnight guests), and a dinner wild vegetables, smoked bone marrow and local seafood served on a feasting table. With on-site curing and pickling rooms joining a smokehouse, it doesn't get much better than this.
At this Danish-owned farmhouse in the Highlands, the minimalism of Scandi living stands alongside the raw serenity of Scottish life as four bedrooms, a cottage, a bothy and a cosy hayloft combine contemporary design with more traditional farmhouse vernacular. Feel the bracing Highland wind on your face on the farm's catch-and-cook loch fishing experience before heading to the kitchen to salt-bake your catch with the chef. In Scandinavia, plunging into ice-cold water is a hallowed tradition, and Killiehuntly offers multiple opportunities to immerse yourself in nearby pools. Then head to the "sauna yard", a Scandi-Scotch take on traditional Navajo sweat lodges.
Transforming the sleepy Somerset Village of Bruton with a futuristic gallery set in a Piet Oudolf-designed garden, Hauser & Wirth's latest creation (it follows Zurich, New York and London) comprises of a farmhouse, gallery, restaurant and garden in the West Country. Replacing traditional farmhouse decor with contemporary art and brightly coloured furnishings, the interior celebrates the antiquity of the 18th-century building by combining expose-brick walls with finds from local vintage shops and salvage yards. Catering to foodies as much as design junkies, a focus on sustainably sourcing sees much of the food sourced from their working farm, Durslade. Look out for monthly events including "uncut" butchery and "unhooked" fishing courses.
Amid 200 acres of North Yorkshire countryside, Middleton Lodge is a traditional Georgian Palladian country estate with a contemporary twist. The main house, still home to the Allison family, is available for private hire with 16 bedrooms ornately decorated with antique furnishings, while sandstone buildings across the property further retain the building's character. With a estate-to-plate ethos at its core, the restaurant eschews fussiness in favour of flavour and quality ingredients. Throw yourself into the many country pursuits – croquet or lavender floristry anyone? – before cosying up by the fire and watching game prance across the lawn.


I feel a strong need to reply to Bob Leilich's letter regarding the Montgomery County commissioners' opposition to the high-speed rail. It appears that Leilich may not have attended the meetings that are in opposition to this rail and may not know some information that those who attended do.
He mentions "passing up $10 billion in private investment at no cost to the county." Here is the cost to the county. If the rail were to pass through Montgomery County, those landowners in the path of the rail would have to give up a large swath, if not all, of their property to a private company that has been granted eminent domain privilege by the federal government. The lost property tax revenues and costs of re-appraising all this land would be absorbed by the other taxpayers in the county (per the appraisal district). The biggest cost is the human factor: the displacement of rural farmers, ranchers and just plain folk who are forced off their land, or have land that has become totally devalued. This destroys the very heart of the Texan. Would John Q. Public want to live within a quarter-mile of a 200 mph bullet train running every 30 minutes? Would Bob?
There will be no dollars coming into Montgomery County from this project. No tax revenues, jobs created or commerce produced. Nothing.
"... denying the creation of work for several thousand construction workers." Not so. The TCR states that they are not going to be the owner, developer, implementer or operator of the rail but have not disclosed who that will be. There is the question of why this "invisible entity" hasn't applied for the approval from the federal railroad themselves, leading to speculation that it is the Japan Railway Company, which is partnered with TCR. In case you didn't know, most of the funding for this private, for-profit company is from overseas, specifically Japan. And that is where the profits will go. It is almost certain that regular construction workers will not be hired for this project, but that already skilled workers from the JRC will be brought in to build it on the lands seized from rural landowners by this company.
"... preventing creation of 400-plus permanent full-time jobs to run the rail." Not sure where those numbers came from, we have not seen them. If this is speculation, then know that those jobs would be in Houston and Dallas only, and no benefit to Montgomery County un-and-underemployed.
Bob goes on to address traffic issues. We are perfectly capable of developing and implementing ways of improving our roads and highways, if we can encourage our good folks in Austin to take a hard, long look at the way TxDOT spends taxpayer dollars (by the way, TxDOT has been receiving grant money and flying under the radar to assist this company). There is no reason for Harris County to have their roads in the state of decay that they do, and there is certainly room for improvement in the public transportation department.
The federal government (the Federal Railway Administration) is very much in evidence in the background of this project, but the spin doctors keep that a bit quiet. This means that, as soon as this project goes over budget, and it will $10 billion is not enough for a project of this magnitude - the taxpayer will wind up forking out more to sustain it. No HSR in the western world has been sustained without subsidies.
There will be no stops on the way. This company cannot promise a 90-minute trip and then design all these stops. What they have said is that there is a "potential" for stops. They promise nothing.
Of all the high-speed rails in the world, there are only two that are making money. We are not Europe. Our demographics are totally different, our lifestyles are different, and we will not have the number of travelers needed to make this succeed. And the taxpayer will pay for its failure.
The commissioners, the rural landowners and those who understand that eminent domain land grabs by private, foreign-backed entities that bring no new revenue to your county is wrong, unnecessary and benefits only the very elite few.
That 90-minute rail trip could take around four hours when you account for drive time to the terminal, wait time, time to rent a car or get a taxi and go to your destination, plus additional costs associated with all of them. Oh, and your property taxes went up, too. And then there is that excise tax to help fund the rail because they ran out of money; oh, and then, all the dollars subsidized by the federal government to help the failing rail ... wait, doesn't the federal government rely on the taxpayer money? Oh, yeah, this rail is a bad idea. Anywhere.
Never underestimate the power of a Texas landowner. We are determined to stop this in its tracks. Heck, we are going to stop the tracks, period.

I learn this ebook for a graduate seminar at the philosophy of artwork. Kant is among the significant figures in expression thought. What we comprehend as aesthetics replaced only in the near past. Wenzel's "Introduction to Kant's Critique of Judgment" is a brilliant spouse to "Critique of Judgment," that's speculated to be considered one of his more straightforward books to realize! technology and math improvement was once momentous in re-interpreting how nature is known, and all this begins in his time. the fashionable technology narrative that claims old concept erred; brought on a break up among technological know-how and philosophy. medical technique and math reasons nature to be obvious in a "mechanistic" approach, there are not any "value" judgments anymore so this worthless nature through technology brought on the cut up simply because nature cannot clarify values anymore. therefore, philosophy unearths that "values" are in people, now not in nature, we're the "location" of values now. good looks, that is a price, is an idea in our minds. This expression idea says anything approximately us it's in our minds. Kant consents with this suggestion of the way glossy technological know-how operates particularly in "Critique of natural Reason." besides the fact that, with questions of paintings he does not depend on technological know-how.
Kant starts off that there's this type of factor as an adventure of attractiveness, and that we more often than not presuppose that it needs to be compelling instead of simply mere opinion not like style in meals. Then he asks why might there be this type of factor? he's now attempting to lay out attainable solutions to that query. within the event of good looks, the brain will get a unique standpoint by itself powers. therefore, this specified standpoint is freed from the traditional constraints of the issues we do in our lives like realizing and caring. Kant realizes that the classy event is subjective; it's within the human brain now not in fact. He desires to make inventive judgments. not only attracted to person subjectivity, he seems for a "universal" personality of expertise of judgment. it's not genuine invaluable to only catalogue people's subjective critiques. Kant says inter-subjective precept is a part of the human brain as extra of a collective. hence, people could make judgment. Kant's inspiration of style isn't really to purely have a subjective opinion; humans have one of those competency they've got discernment. the trouble during this idea is, how does one comprehend after they discover a common.
Kant astutely argues that one cannot argue in the direction of a classy judgment like in good judgment, aesthetics is subjective yet he wishes people on the way to say; "this portray is gorgeous, and never simply to me." very important aspect: is there one of these factor as subjective universality? this is often his challenge, even supposing he thinks there's for those who can use the primary of "disinterest." the world of subjectivity is realm of pursuits. as soon as one is divorced of all general curiosity, one could view artwork with a "disinterested" view. This suggestion of disinterest monitors out allot yet needs to be attached to excitement yet now not mere opinion universally. the opposite vital component to disinterest has been the ongoing inspiration or even can be whatever that may be acceptable to any zone of paintings. there's something approximately paintings that has a few dating to a "pause" from general relationships. there's something precise approximately works of art that even if there has been no such factor as a museum in Greece, Greek statuary and structure used to be all a part of the cityscape, a part of the particular panorama and livingscape of Greece, and as a result a part of town so no such factor as a museum. even if, at any time when a statue used to be post or a temple, or a play was once wear, that will appear to be anything diverse from the traditional relationships with gadgets both when it comes to utilizing them for a few functional goal and for this reason utilizing them up giving the works a few specific reserve, specific prestige. Disinterest would not require that it have the subjectivism time period since you could easily say that the total element of paintings can be disengaged basic methods of enticing issues, no matter if it did not have a subjective idea of expression. in line with this proposal of "disinterest," the belief of political artwork will be a contradiction in phrases. artwork as utilized as not anything greater than serving political wishes. Like how the Soviet Union used paintings for not anything else yet to serve the employees revolution. Kant is announcing, the full inspiration of attractive attractiveness is to be divorced from the conventional methods of items, and that will comprise finish reasons, ambitions, and results.
Distinction among subjective common validity and goal common validity.
An vital argument Kant makes is that every one judgments of "taste" and "beauty" are of a novel judgment. whether it is particular, it can't slot in the common idea of good looks. There aren't any formulation, rules, or ideas for deciding upon good looks. there's merely the "possibility" of aesthetic judgments, so he cannot checklist goods of paintings that agree to his aesthetic judgment. Kant says anything approximately artwork is varied than every little thing else it does not have curiosity, axioms, ideas, cannot record issues, however it has a few positives, it truly is pleasing, it attracts us, it satisfies us, it is not excitement of useful wishes or excitement of information or any pursuits. It does not excite our own wants, it simply provides us an immediate event of enjoyment. hence, Kant offers an highbrow photograph of aesthetic style and he says it truly is continuously a species of enjoyment. the class of disinterest presents notions for Kant, one is freedom, and the opposite is universality. through freedom, he ability, freedom from either hope and data, and that's the fascinating half.
Another vital thought for Kant is that the unfastened play of mind's eye is likely one of the positive factors that make up good looks. unfastened play of mind's eye of paintings offers excitement as the brain is loose from basic cognitive wishes, logical principles, or empirical findings, sensible wishes, and as a result it has a component of openness. hence, mind's eye is essential right here, mind's eye is the power to conjure up whatever that's not a truth within the genuine international. The unfastened play within the mind's eye in paintings supplies excitement, simply because right here the brain can easily take pleasure in its personal cognitive powers self sustaining of the restrictions of the opposite nation-states, like technology, math, common sense, and different useful wishes. loose play opens the concept the artist has allot of leeway. The artist isn't sure by way of evidence and realities, neither is the viewers an individual who has to have that angle both. for that reason, if you are taking a look at a portray otherwise you are studying a poem or hearing song during this mode you're not sure by way of alternative ways of figuring out. you may be freed from that. What does that suggest? to start with, all artwork goes to have a tangible technique of presentation via sound or sight or colour, texture, constitution, so forth. This excites excitement simply because artwork is a much less ordered realm than different components. Kant would not say you'll enjoy anything that was once chaotic. Kant says you cannot strength aesthetic judgment on others, yet attractiveness has a common declare, that's the tightrope he's strolling. it really is advanced, attractiveness isn't chaotic, yet no longer inner most opinion.
Disinterest and loose play of brain is 2 aspects of similar coin. mind's eye isn't sure via common modes of understanding, or general wishes or wants so it's linked to unfastened play. usually our wishes are compelling to us. mind's eye is the school, which isn't certain to any specific item on this planet that has to manipulate what we are saying. Then he is going to assert that excitement is the opposite point that should be; that good looks needs to be skilled as excitement, and the idea does say whatever that's culturally particular, that excitement comes from the adventure of the concord of the schools. The unfastened play of mind's eye is gratifying, whilst inside of convinced ideas of concord and order. This particularly is one of those formalism, since it isn't certain by way of the actual aesthetic item. this is often one of many fullest senses of expression idea potential, the expression of the mind's means as opposed to the direct studying out of the article itself.
So, what's aesthetic good looks, what's aesthetic judgment? Aesthetic judgment has to do with the sensuous shape. So it evidently has to do with a few form of sensuous medium, a few type of visible or auditory stuff, that's most likely what artwork is set, a sensuous shape generating a concord of the colleges which are published from common judgments like technological know-how, and consequently unfastened to note and discover structural kinfolk and styles as such. no longer tied to situation or use or perhaps the summary universality of mere innovations (that is the place singularity comes in). The summary universality of mere thoughts is there's a puppy; the summary idea of "dog" is the common association of all specific canine. the following excitement is happy which might now not happen in logical shape. So keep in mind there are sensuous pleasures which are diversified from cognition; therefore, medical cognition has not anything to do with excitement, it completely has to do with fact. So paintings is whatever that's disinterested, so consequently, it really is relieved from the traditional forms of pleasures or common varieties of issues, however it is excitement and in that recognize, it's various from good judgment or cause.

This finished and authoritative selection of Oscar Wilde's American interviews provides readers a clean examine the making of a literary legend. larger recognized in 1882 as a cultural icon than a major author (at twenty-six years outdated, he had through then released only one quantity of poems), Wilde was once dropped at North the US for an enormous lecture journey on Aestheticism and the ornamental arts that used to be equipped to publicize a traveling opera, Gilbert and Sullivan's endurance, which lampooned him and satirized the cultured flow he were imported to symbolize.
"It is a brave try and imagine philosophically approximately up-front human matters with no both pandering or resorting to jargon. The bankruptcy themes are primary to human lifestyles and Kupfer's therapy of them is proficient, lively, and sometimes unique. .. .Kupfer's e-book becomes a big contribution to our knowing of latest tradition.
Satisfaction in the beautiful, on the other hand, must be free of such considerations. " Disinterestedness is the specific mark of satisfaction in the beautiful. Compared with the other two kinds of satisfaction, satisfaction in the beautiful can be thought of as being "in between" the other two in the following way. Think of an ascending chain of beings, with animals at the bottom, humans in the middle, and spirits on the top. Now, humans have some features in common with animals and some (other) features in common with spirits – in particular: animals and humans have the capacity for satisfaction in the agreeable; and spirits and humans have the capacity for satisfaction in the good.
But there is an essential difference between sections 6 and 9. Section 6 argues for the universality of judgments of taste by way of inference from the first moment, disinterestedness, whereas section 9 offers new and independent grounds, namely the notion of free play of the faculties. Furthermore, the criterion of disinterestedness is merely negative, whereas the notion of free play allows a positive account. A particular feature of the argument in section 6 is its psychological and phenomenological character.
These are satisfaction in the agreeable, the beautiful, and the good. " The term "satisfaction" might not be the happiest choice, but I will follow the new English translation from the now standard Cambridge Edition. Kant's classification of satisfaction into three kinds is fundamental to his aesthetics and he makes ample use of it throughout the "Critique of the Aesthetic Power of Judgment" (the first part of the third Critique). Kant also thinks of the three kinds of satisfaction in terms of representations: "The agreeable, the beautiful, and the good .

Rajnath Skipped China Mention, No One Told Interpreter, US
Shankul Bhandare Follow on Twitter Send an email October 31, 2020
A slip over Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's comments regarding China at the Indo-US 2+2 ministerial meeting last Tuesday has led to a diplomatic commotion, and some red faces in New Delhi.
More so, because both defence minister and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar did not mention China directly in their remarks.
At the 2+2 meeting, Singh, speaking in Hindi, said: "Aaj ke samay mein jo challenges hum face kar rahe hain, unki wajah se hamari partnership aur bhi mahatwapurn ho jaati hai."
The Indian government's English language interpreter, reading from a script, said: "Excellencies, in the area of defence we are challenged by reckless aggression on our northern borders – (inaudible)".
It is learnt that the Indian government changed its statement. While Singh read out the prepared remarks, the interpreter was not handed the revised script.
Realising that the two statements did not match, the Indian side, it is learnt, later pointed it out to the US.
Three days later, the US Department of State corrected the transcript to record: "Due to the challenges that we are facing today, our partnership has become even more important and it determines our future."
But the US Department of Defense, as of Friday night, continued to retain: "Excellencies, in the area of defense we are challenged by reckless aggression on our northern borders – (inaudible)." And it added a footnote — [As delivered by Indian Government English-language interpreter.]
The Ministry of External Affairs' official spokesperson Anurag Srivastava, when asked on Thursday, had said, "I'm a bit surprised at this question. The video of this of these remarks are out in the public domain and I would ask you to look at it."
The diplomatic kerfuffle was evident on Friday, as the US embassy spokesperson said, "The original U.S. transcript of the 2+2 opening statement was prepared from an audio recording of the Indian Government interpreter's English-language delivery to US participants."
The 2+2 meeting, being described as a success, saw Secretary of State Michael R Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark T Esper launching a sharply-worded attack on China.
The four ministers were addressing the media after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where they discussed several issues of "regional and global concern" on which they collaborate, including Covid-19 response, security and defence cooperation, and shared interests in a free and open Indo-Pacific, according to a US State Department statement.
While Pompeo said Indian and US leaders and citizens see with "increasing clarity" that the Communist Party of China (CCP) is "no friend to democracy and rule of law", Esper targeted Beijing by flagging the "increasing aggression and destabilising activities by China".
Singh and Jaishankar, however, did not name China but spoke of "respecting" and "upholding" the "territorial integrity and sovereignty" of all States, a reference to Beijing's belligerence along the Line of Actual Control.

Manchester Boys and Girls Club gets sponsors to "adopt" a family in need, take on their wish lists, and buy the gifts.
In the midst of a heroin epidemic in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire, poverty rates are rising and more families are finding it nearly impossible to buy Christmas gifts for their kids.
With the help of the Boys and Girls Club of Manchester and community sponsors, 31 families are getting a helping hand.
It's not Santa's sleigh, but for one Manchester mom, a cart full of gifts is just as magical.
"This means they get Christmas this year," said mother of four, Abby.
We're not showing Abby's face or using her last name because we don't want to identify her four children.
She tells us she was out of work for the first half of the year, living solely on her husband's income. She just got a job and after paying for daycare Christmas gifts were going to be few and far between... until Tuesday.
"They don't understand Santa comes to one person's house and not another, so we don't have to explain that this year," Abby said.
Her eight-year-old son is a member at the Manchester Boys and Girls club, that's where she picked up the donated presents. Thirty-one other families did the same.
"We see a lot of tears, I get a lot of hugs, it's a great time of year," said Boys and Girls Club Services Director Stephanie Noel.
The Club serves up to 600 kids a day and more than 70 percent of those kids are living at or below the poverty level. Club leaders say the need for help during the holidays is greater ever year.
"We do the best that we can to help these families, but without the support of community members, we can only go so far," Noel said.
Dozens of community sponsors, like Amoskeag Beverages, come through, sometimes with truck-loads of gifts.
"We get that huge volume of outpouring, our employees come and ask 'when is the tree going up, what can I do,'" said Terry Callahan with Amoskeag Beverages.
The more than 200 employees filled the wish lists written by Abby's kids and made Abby's own holiday wishes come true.
"We're so thankful," Abby said Tuesday. "Now, I know they are going to have a great Christmas."
If you want to take on a family's wish list next year and support the Manchester community, reach out to the Boys and Girls Club of Manchester as early as October.

Players and officials from Tonga Rugby League are hopeful that the appointment of Andrew Johns in a coaching role will empower them to retain more eligible players and develop into a force at the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
Tonga announced on Monday that Johns would be assisting coach Kristian Woolf and his staff for the Pacific Test against Samoa at Pirtek Stadium on May 7 with a view to a longer-term relationship through until at least the World Cup.
The eighth Immortal's primary focus will be to instil confidence in Tonga's young halves but also build greater confidence amongst the entire playing group.
Broncos forward Joe Ofahengaue represented Tonga for the first time last October in their World Cup qualifier against the Cook Islands and said that the involvement of one of the game's greatest players will assist them in reaching some very lofty goals.
"Tonga's finally getting some recognition I guess," Ofahengaue told NRL.com. "Obviously we've been a side with not the right management the last few years which has been pretty disappointing but having Andrew Johns there is going to be way different.
"He's someone that the boys can really look up to and put some proper structure in, not just flicking it around. It's going to be a big help for us because we kind of struggled last year putting some points on the Cook Islands team and they were just a team that got put together.
"We had a big talk the day before the game with all the coaching staff and the players and 'Woolfy' was saying that he really thinks Tonga can be a top four team as well, not just a team that can make up the numbers.
"If we all put our belief in the fact that if Samoa can do it then we can do it I think we can get there."
Given their call-up to the Kiwis for the end of year tour of England last year Tonga will have to do without Tuimoala Lolohea and Sio Siua Taukeiaho against Samoa, the pair now ineligible to play for Tonga until after the World Cup.
Warriors centre Solomone Kata could be the next to be invited to switch from Tonga to New Zealand but coach Kristian Woolf hopes that by having Johns on board they may be able to stem the flow of players changing allegiances.
"I'd hope that having him involved does help with one or two players who may be considering where their rep future lies," Woolf said.
"We've got plenty of guys who are making choices between playing for Tonga or playing for Junior Kiwis or Junior 'Roos or even Queensland and New South Wales Residents.
"To be competitive we want all our Tongan players coming out of the NRL or at least out of NRL systems and for them to be at that level they have to be dual eligible."
With Samisoni Langi coming back from a knee reconstruction and Daniel Foster contracted to the Easts Tigers in the Intrust Super Cup in Queensland, Woolf is surveying his options to play in the halves against Samoa in a two weeks' time.
Ata Hingano (Warriors) and Sione Katoa (Panthers) are both impressing for their respective teams in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW, making the influence of Johns even more important for the team's development.
"They're all young and having someone like Andrew involved is not only going to help them but he will instil some confidence in them as well," Woolf said.
"Hopefully it's a relationship that we can build on after this camp and it helps them out a little bit long term.
"He carries a great profile, he's a great player and he's going to offer plenty of experience and plenty of confidence not just for our halves but also our team as a whole."

Q: How can I call exceptions or functions instantaneously in Python program execution? I have an application which is automated through Python script. The application may hang or crash anytime unknowingly. Hence I need to write an exception or function to handle the same.
I have to call this exception or function as if it is running in background and should be revoked whenever crash or hang happens.
For ex:
consider my python script is doing an automation on an application. It is doing following...

*

*Open the Application

*Browse over a icon

*Clicks on the icon

*Select some file

*Upload that file

*Close the Application

During any of these steps, the crash or hang may occur in the application and I have a different "function/ method" for each of the steps. How to invoke the exception at every steps.
I know it is easy to do in java like:
public void openApp() throws CrashException, ErrorException {
But I don't know how to do the same in python.
Please help me with the same.

A: 1)You can see here the Built-in Exceptions in python.
2)This post examines the differences between python and java regarding exception handling.
3)For a simple exception handling in python taken from here:
 def divide(x, y):
     try:
        result = x / y
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        print "division by zero!"
    else:
        print "result is", result
    finally:
        print "executing finally clause"

Tokyo office rents still down 20% from pre-financial-crisis levels
Tokyo office rents have been slow to recover, despite strong demand.
September 9, 2016 02:04 JST | Japan
TOKYO -- Office rents in central Tokyo remain about 20% below where they were before the 2008 financial crisis amid waning demand for pricey properties as foreign financial institutions move out of the city.
Asking rents in the capital's five central wards -- Chiyoda, Chuo, Minato, Shinjuku and Shibuya -- averaged 18,322 yen ($180) per 3.3 sq. meters in August, according to office brokerage Miki Shoji. The figure has gained for 32 months in a row. But the increase from July came to just 0.3% -- a small uptick, given that no new major office space became available last month.
The vacancy rate hit a roughly eight-year low at the end of August after falling 0.04 percentage point from a month earlier to 3.9%. Properties owned by major developers are nearly full. "Our buildings are more than 90%-occupied," said Kengo Fukui, an executive managing officer at Tokyo Tatemono.
Even though the vacancy rate has fallen by more than half since the recent high in 2012, rents have gained only about 10%.
Since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, tenants have flocked to new buildings that are quake-resistant or have other disaster preparation measures, pulling the average vacancy down. The JR Shinjuku Miraina Tower, which was completed in March, is almost fully occupied, while the Otemachi Financial City Grand Cube was full when it opened earlier this year. Demand is also strong for buildings with favorable locations.
But while the vacancy rate is now where it was before the financial crisis hit, average asking rents are still far lower. Many foreign financial institutions have moved their regional headquarters to Hong Kong since the crisis, weighing down demand for high-rent properties.
"Offices where highly paid people work, such as foreign financial institutions, tend to have higher rents," said Toyokazu Imazeki, chief analyst at Sanko Estate. Contract rents at A-class buildings -- built within the last 15 years, with at least 990 sq. meters of space on each level and a total floor area of at least 33,000 sq. meters -- are starting to decline after more than four years of gains, according to Sanko Estate and the NLI Research Institute.
Office space offerings tend to drop once contracts do. "Some companies will start considering a move with an eye on new properties to become available in 2018," said Yuto Ohigashi of JLL.

Make way for robot! Two driverless buses will be hitting the streets in Helsinki for some real-world testing for the next month or so, reports Finnish news outlet YLE.
The EasyMile minibuses have previously been tested on public roads in Finland and elsewhere, but this is the first time they'll be mixing it up with everyday traffic there.
Finnish law, amazingly, doesn't require a driver to have a vehicle — making it an ideal test bed for at least some kinds of self-driving technologies. These EZ10 buses are intended for short-range shuttling of people, for instance between a train station and bus stop will only travel at a jogging pace.
It may seem old hat to Valley-dwellers who see Google's self-driving cars zooming around the streets of Mountain View, but different vehicles, with different purposes, in different countries, following different traffic rules may as well be a whole different industry.
I've asked EasyMile for more information on what specifically the company will be testing for, and will update this post when I hear back.


Seems this weekend is all about prequels/sequels coming to the theaters. Robbie K here reviewing Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, which promises to have some mystery, action, and comedy to entertain us. But will Hollywood deliver on its promise, or will we get another lackluster sequel from the generic mold?
In my experience, crime stories tend to drag out a bit before getting to the juicy drama and violence. While this film is a little slow and convoluted at the beginning it does cut through most of the boring fat to get to the action packed meat. The pace continues to pick up through the movie, as constant pursuit from the enemy keeps our small band on their toes throughout the country. While some of the slower character building moments are integrated into the intense game of hide, seek, and run, they are often short, entertaining sequences that are there to set up for the impending "excitement". Rest assured, Reacher's latest journey connects the dots in rapid succession to get you to the answers as quickly as possible. And like the last installment, you might be hoping for some witty comedy to help relieve the tension of the constant chase. Good news, the writers adapted the book to provide Reacher's famous dry humor. For those who don't know, this movie's style isn't slapstick and stupid one- liners to be endlessly quoted. Instead Reacher's comedy is dry where timing is the main punch line rather than mindless babbling. Seeing Cruise react to some of the scenarios or deliver a sarcastically flat response were the funniest components of the film. I felt the comedy was well integrated into the tale and not abused to keep the laughs as fresh as possible. Of course the comedy and story would be nothing without a good cast, and Reacher has a great lineup to keep you entertained. All of the cast feels like a solid military crime family, each playing that stereotypical, no nonsense attitude cinematic soldiers seem to have. While not as tall as book Reacher, Cruise's rogue nature mixes well with Smulders modern age warrior woman to craft a realistic, crime solving MP duo. Ms. Yarosh as the edgy teenager from a broken home also played her part well and added a twist that both worked and annoyed me at times. And as for the hunter, Heusinger played him well but I don't think the character direction worked for me (more on that later). Still the cast overall make you feel part of a government conspiracy, which gets a plus in my book.
The trailers paint for action, but sadly that action has been greatly reduced to Reacher being in small scuffles that usually detail some poor extra getting knocked unconscious in a single punch. Occasionally you get some gun play involved and a chase scene displaying Cruise's agility, but even this lackluster at times. While a former veteran appreciated the realistic battles, I was hoping for a little more excitement and tension to grace the screen. This nearly happened at the end, but that scene crossed into a drawn out, ridiculous torture that while justified, did little but make my eyes roll. While the action scenes may have been annoying at times, there were a few characters who ground my gears. Samantha in particular was an irritation, as her portrayal of an edgy teenager, whining about everything did little to entertain me. Samantha's arrogance can be entertaining at times (and was important for character development), but there were a good number of shots that had me hoping Reacher would slap some sense into her. And as for the hunter, well he doesn't win the award for scariest motive, merely a mercenary with delusions of grandeur to feed his obsession. His skills are certainly impressive, but his drive is lacking and kind of stupid. Yet the biggest disappointment had to be the lack of mystery and suspense in this movie. In the first installment Reacher had to dig deep to find the perpetrator by pushing his skills to the limit and using ingenuity. In this film though, the quest was almost too easy for Reacher, with all the pieces falling to conveniently into place that is uncharacteristic of a crime thriller. The source of the corruption was sloppily revealed in the form of pointless character I cared little about and lacked the twist of the original. Of course the surprise isn't helped by obvious foreshadowing introduced in what would be perceived as unnecessary scenes.
Overall Reacher's latest adventure is a more diluted version of its predecessor. For me the cast is the strongest aspect in this fast paced adventure who will set the stage for the adventure. However, the lack of a challenging mystery was a major disappointment that didn't have the action to make up for it. If you are looking for some realistic crime/adventure you might check this out, but I recommend most wait for RedBox to pick this flick up.

In addition it bordered by several tiny white flowers and cherry flowers' buds. Also I added here the light green twisted leaves of a rose, and not a single bouquet can be done without them. These rose flower earrings can become an exceptionally necessary gift for the flower girl or even more for a bridesmaid. Also such pink earrings are ideal for dresses of similar shades or pastel tones, for festivities and romantic dates.


"The whole staff is very helpful, professional and courteous. I would recommend this office to anyone."
Our practice was founded on October 1, 1978 by Dr. Michael Sullivan who had just completed his two year hospital residence in Periodontics at the Manhattan Veteran's Administration Hospital. His solo practice grew because of Dr. Sullivan's commitment to the principals of compassion, clinical excellence and integrity.
In 1986, Dr. Michael Yasner joined Dr. Sullivan having just completed his periodontal residency at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1989, Dr. Yasner was recognized as a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology. That same year, the office was moved from its original location on Kings Highway in Cherry Hill to its present location at 1416 Brace Road, Cherry Hill.
Their practice was very successful and continued to grow. In the 1990s, it became apparent that they would require a third member of their group. Dr. Shahin Kazemi, having completed his Periodontal residency program and an additional year as an Implant Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, joined them. Dr Kazemi became a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology.
Now, after 40 years, our beautifully renovated office provides the ability to maintain the spirit and goals of compassion, clinical excellence and integrity that Dr. Sullivan established in 1978. Among our doctors' many credential are faculty appointments at the University of Pennsylvania and staff appointments at local area hospitals. It is one of the few practices in the country to have so many Board Certified Periodontists practicing together.
We are proud to be consistently recognized as Top Dentists by New Jersey, Philadelphia, and South Jersey Magazines.

Merck and Ridgeback Announce U.K. Government to Purchase Additional 1.75 Million Courses of Molnupiravir
KENILWORTH, N.J. & MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics today announced that the United Kingdom Government will purchase an additional 1.75 million patient courses of molnupiravir (MK-4482), an investigational oral antiviral COVID-19 medicine. In the U.K., LAGEVRIO® is the planned trademark for molnupiravir; the trademark for molnupiravir in other countries has not been approved. With this additional procurement agreement, which follows a previously announced agreement for 480,000 courses of treatment, the U.K. Government has now committed to purchase a total of 2.23 million courses of molnupiravir.
In early November, molnupiravir received conditional marketing authorization in the U.K. for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 in adults with a positive SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic test and who have at least one risk factor for developing severe illness. Molnupiravir is currently available in the U.K. and patients have started to receive treatment. An application for Emergency Use Authorization for molnupiravir is under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Merck has entered into advance purchase and supply agreements for molnupiravir with governments of more than 30 countries worldwide, including 21 agreements with countries in Europe.
About Merck's Global Efforts to Accelerate Access to Molnupiravir Following Regulatory Authorizations or Approvals
Global access has been a priority for Merck and Ridgeback since the inception of their molnupiravir collaboration. The companies are committed to providing timely access to molnupiravir globally through our comprehensive supply and access approach, which includes investing at risk to produce millions of courses of therapy; tiered pricing based on the ability of governments to finance health care; entering into supply agreements with governments; and granting voluntary licenses to generic manufacturers and to the Medicines Patent Pool to make generic molnupiravir available in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following local regulatory authorizations or approvals.
Supply: In anticipation of the results from MOVe-OUT and the potential for regulatory authorization or approval, Merck has been producing molnupiravir at risk and expects to produce 10 million courses of treatment by the end of 2021, with at least 20 million courses to be produced in 2022. To date, Merck has shipped molnupiravir to 12 countries; in countries where it is approved or authorized, patients have begun to receive the drug.
Supply agreements: Merck entered into a procurement agreement with the U.S. Government under which the company will supply approximately 3.1 million courses of molnupiravir to the U.S. Government, upon Emergency Use Authorization or approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Merck has entered into advance purchase and supply agreements for molnupiravir with governments for over 30 countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States, pending regulatory authorizations, and is currently in discussions with additional governments. Merck plans to implement a tiered pricing approach based on World Bank country income criteria to reflect countries' relative ability to finance their health response to the pandemic.
Voluntary licenses: As part of its commitment to widespread global access, Merck previously announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with the Medicines Patent Pool to increase broad access for molnupiravir in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, Merck previously announced that the company has entered into non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreements for molnupiravir with established generic manufacturers to accelerate availability of molnupiravir in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following approvals or emergency authorization by local regulatory agencies.
Merck continues to discuss additional measures and collaborations to accelerate broad, global access to molnupiravir.
About Molnupiravir
Molnupiravir (MK-4482) is an investigational, orally administered form of a potent ribonucleoside analog that inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Molnupiravir has been shown to be active in several preclinical models of SARS-CoV-2, including for prophylaxis, treatment, and prevention of transmission. Pre-clinical data suggest that molnupiravir has a high barrier to the development of resistance.
Molnupiravir was studied as a single medicine (i.e., without the need for co-administered medicines to achieve therapeutic effect). Based on available data, no food intake restrictions or dose modifications based on renal or hepatic impairment are necessary, and no known drug interactions with molnupiravir have been identified.
Results from the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT study demonstrated the efficacy benefit of molnupiravir treatment was generally consistent across patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, Delta, Gamma and Mu. Preliminary preclinical data has shown that molnupiravir has antiviral activity against the newly identified variant, Omicron (B1.1.529). Molnupiravir has yet to be evaluated against Omicron in clinical studies.
Molnupiravir was invented at Emory University. Drug Innovation Ventures at Emory (DRIVE), LLC, which was formed by Emory to develop early-stage drug candidates for viral diseases of global concern, advanced molnupiravir through IND submission. Emory/DRIVE received some research funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Molnupiravir is being developed by Merck in collaboration with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. Ridgeback received an upfront payment from Merck and also is eligible to receive contingent payments dependent upon the achievement of certain developmental and regulatory approval milestones. Any profits from the collaboration will be split between the partners equally. Since licensed by Ridgeback, all funds used for the development of molnupiravir have been provided by Merck and Ridgeback.
Molnupiravir was evaluated in MOVe-OUT, a global Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-site study of non-hospitalized adult patients with symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed mild to moderate COVID-19 and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes. Molnupiravir is also being evaluated for post-exposure prophylaxis in MOVe-AHEAD, a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of molnupiravir in preventing the spread of COVID-19 within households.

Brain Network Changes May Explain Resilience to Childhood Abuse
Martin H. Teicher, M.D., Ph.D.
Director, Developmental Biopsychiatry Research Program
Associate Professor of Psychiatry
Harvard Medical School / McLean Hospital
Brain imaging reveals changes in neural networks that may help explain why some young people who experience maltreatment do not appear to exhibit adverse behavioral consequences, unlike the majority of victims, who are susceptible.
Brain imaging reveals neural network changes that may explain resistance to changes in brain structures caused by childhood maltreatment. Tweet
Brain researchers have known for years that people who are abused in childhood often suffer serious impairments, including a high risk of developing psychiatric disorders, from anxiety and depression to addiction and suicide. Yet they have been mystified by the fact that certain individuals who are maltreated, even severely, somehow show no adverse behavioral effects.
A team of investigators led by 2005 and 2001 BBRF Independent Investigator Martin H. Teicher, M.D., Ph.D., and Kyoko Ohashi, Ph.D., both of Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital, now shed new light on why certain people seem behaviorally resilient despite a history of maltreatment. Their study defined maltreatment as exposure to two or more types of maltreatment, and resilience as an absence of diagnosable disorders and significant behavioral symptoms.
The team was following up on its past research, published in 2017, which showed that maltreatment was associated with brain abnormalities, both in youths who suffered behavioral impacts and in those who did not.
What then is the difference, biologically, between those who are behaviorally susceptible and those who are resilient? In a paper published April 15th in Biological Psychiatry, the team reported that it had identified specific neurobiological changes that appear to enable resilient individuals to compensate for alterations caused by abuse in stress-vulnerable brain structures.
This "potential answer to the puzzle" of resilience to abuse, to use the team's words, was based on analysis of brain scans made of 342 unmedicated individuals, aged 18-25, of whom 192 had been maltreated. The researchers made use of diffusion tensor imaging, or DTI, which enables them to trace the paths of brain fibers—specifically, those that scientists call white-matter tracts. These reveal the extent and strength of connectivity within and across brain regions.
The team found that the resilient group had abnormalities in overall brain network architecture that were "at least as strong" as those seen in the susceptible group. But the resilient participants had additional abnormalities, which ironically appear to have protected them. These other changes reduced connectivity between certain key brain areas. This, the researchers propose, may partially isolate and limit the harmful impact of susceptible components in the network, resulting in no impacts upon behavior.
One of at least nine potential differences seen in the resilient participants affected the right portion of the amygdala, a brain structure deeply involved in emotional processing. This region is hyperactive in some people who have been subjected to abuse. Reduced connectivity may compensate for this or other abnormalities in resilient individuals, although more research will be needed to demonstrate this.
Overall, these differences in network architecture were clear enough to enable the researchers to differentiate healthy controls from both susceptible and resilient maltreated individuals, with about 80% accuracy.
The scientists said their work suggests the potential of new therapeutic approaches that would aim to bring the brain circuitry of susceptible maltreated individuals "more into line with that of resilient individuals."

What does "standard-bearing" mean in this context?
Does it mean "main"?
Leaving the euro is one of the FN's standard-bearing policies, both a mark of its anti-establishment stance that attracts voters angry with globalization, and a likely obstacle to its quest for power in a country where a majority oppose a return to the franc.

"Main" is not wrong, but it's a bit more like their "hallmark" policy. In other words, they are known for this policy. Try looking up standard-bearer in Wikipedia and perhaps it will be more clear? – Teacher KSHuang Mar 27 '17 at 10:57
A standard is a flag which is flown to identify something.
A standard bearer is the thing which "flies the flag" which identifies the something. For example, each country's lead person in the Olympic procession is a standard bearer and helps identify their country.
In your example, a standard-bearing policy, is a policy that the party is known for and represents.

"Find your tribe, Push one another" writes Chase Jarvis - one of the most inspiring people I follow on Facebook.
Tribe! - Do you have your own tribe?
People with whom exploring the world is a wonderful adventure?
Thanks to them, you look at the landscape spreading out in front of you with slightly different eyes and notice things you may not have noticed by yourself. Someone who will show you a different path which leads to a favorite place. Someone with whom you want to discover the new and the unknown? People whose world seems drastically different, but you come to find out it is just like your own. Someone who gives you a sense of safety on the way and during adventures. Yet a tribe is more than good companionship. A Tribe is demanding, pushing you to the new, expanding your boundaries, yet at the same time reassuring that together - you'll never be lost, even on the newly discovered road.
Wandering has freed in me the need to belong to a tribe. The paradox is that I usually travel by myself.....I laugh that I am a lone wolf..... I like my peace and freedom, the singular state of living my own adventure. Maximum perception of that which is going on around me requires a certain level of concentration, the need to make contact with strangers I encounter along the way is forced by my lone travel. I like the complete responsibility I have for myself during my adventures - I worry only about myself and my needs.
Wandering is an experience which is quite different and consists of : nature and experiencing her together - another words - the route and the tribe :) Also, the continuity of this experience - remembering previous trips and recalling our common experience. Walking along - I am part of the herd, the tribe. Walking - step by step, along a marked route I like to hear the footsteps of my fellow tribe members, waking behind someone, walking in front of someone, each being a part of the whole. We each notice something different, share joyful cries of discovery, knowledge, teaching and learning simultaneously.
I know that if it wasn't for my tribe I would have never reached so many beautiful places. I see them, not so much with my own eyes as through a prism of my tribe and it's eyes.


This model shows the vast gardens behind the caldarium and around the main building. You can also see the stadium and terraces for viewing the stadium spectacles located behind the gardens.
It is a shame to say, but we may never know exactly what the interior of the Baths of Caracalla looked like. Much of the archeological evidence we go by is in fragments, and some is assumed from what few remains exist. It is known and recorded that the interior was lavishly decorated with mosaics, sculptures, and decorated ceilings.
Let's start by discussing the mosaics.
