EDI Is Not an Excuse For Censorship
Danielle S. McLaughlin
Can we fight racism without chilling expression? The answer must be a resounding yes, but how can we ensure that schools and educators understand their responsibilities to protect their students from censorship and from discrimination both at once?
It isn't easy and it can't be done in one lesson or even in one course. However, when we avoid discussing race and racism or other forms of oppression out of fear that we are going to be using or permitting the wrong language, or that our motivations will be misunderstood, we become part of the problem.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusive (EDI) or (IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility) education has become the gold standard in many progressive educational philosophies and systems. But what is it and how can it work to the benefit of all educators and learners? Ideally, EDI is a process by which people of every identity and intersectionality are integral to the development and delivery of education in all its many aspects. This ought to mean that we look to people who have been historically marginalized or shut out to inform the very structures and systems which have been at the forefront of oppression.
The trouble with this ideal is that this is rarely how teacher education works. In faculties of education, pre-service teaching students are offered courses that include educational theory. They can read, and in some faculties must read, a wide variety of writing by philosophers, psychologists, and educators who want to see significant changes in how schooling is done. And then comes the practicum.
This is the part of teacher education where the pre-service teacher spends time in one or more classrooms and is instructed and evaluated by a more senior teacher, preferably a teacher whose experience and understanding help the novice to apply what they have read and learned in the faculty of education.
Unfortunately, this ideal often comes up against the reality of "that's not how we do things around here." And also "we don't talk about race here," or "these kids are too young, at too low a level, too immature, or (fill in the blank) to discuss such topics as race, discrimination, ableism, sexuality, trans rights, abortion, or (fill in the blank again.)"
What can the teacher-candidate do about this? Remember that this novice is being marked by a senior mentor teacher and cannot afford to displease them or trouble waters that may have long stood stagnant. Some are courageous, continue to disrupt the system, and hope that the senior teacher will approve of the attempt to demonstrate what EDI looks like on a day-to-day basis in their classroom. Many are not so brave. Sadly, those are the teachers who go on to use censorship to perpetuate a flawed system. They are the people who honestly believe, because they have learned it at the elbow of a senior teacher, that if we don't talk about it, it will go away. It won't. Most of us have met that particular variety of senior teacher in one powerful guise or another. They can be found in medicine, law, business, and academia, as well.
Their belief that being challenged is being attacked perpetuates the system that EDI is trying to overcome. The people who tell you to avoid difficult topics, to keep doing things the way they have always been done, do not have the courage or the interest to fight discrimination and oppression. They want simple, teacher-managed fixes to problems that have been with us for as long as we have had organized educational systems, so they use what they have always used – rules to limit expression. It looks like an easy path to harmony and tranquility – just clamp down on any controversy or discussion. If no one says what is happening, it can't actually be happening, right? But the emperor still has no clothes. Those "short cuts" to peace cannot and do not work. We cannot allow educators to use EDI (or critical race theory) as an excuse for censorship.
As Carl E. James and Vidya Shah, professors of education at York University, said in a recent article:
In our work with educators, we have seen the ways in which delving into issues of race and racism invite students of all racial backgrounds to make sense of the world around them and reflect on their responsibilities in creating more just and humane futures.
Avoiding conversations about race ensures that racism flourishes, creates inhospitable educational contexts and contributes to a deficient learning experience for all students.
We need dialogue that is committed to centring the voices of those who live marginalized and racialized realities and for whom schooling has failed to meet their interests, needs and aspirations. Racism needs to be addressed if we are going to flourish as a society.
This dialogue includes hearing and discussing ugly words and awful views that few of us want to hear. But if we as educators fail to do this, we will be perpetuating the kind of knee-jerk, simplistic, and exclusionary learning that permitted discrimination and oppression in the first place.

As this off-season seems to be slow for free agent signings and there are even whispers of collusion, a look at the landscape tells you that clubs are wary of long-term deals. Five free agents have signed contracts that some may feel are slightly above market…Carlos Santana ($20 Million), Wade Davis ($17 Million), Tyler Chatwood ($13 Million), Zack Cozart ($13 Million) & Jay Bruce ($13 Million). The one thing in common, however, is that they are all 3-year deals. So, let's give you an opportunity to once again be a General Manager. Based on some minimal research, it appears that there are about 20 current major league players who are already under contract to make at least $15 Million for the 2021 season. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine which of these players you would really want on your roster in 2021 at these prices. The figures represent the average salary of a long-term deal. The player's age for that season is listed to help with your analysis. As you read the names and think, "This guy is on the downside of his career", remember that three more full seasons need to be played before these salaries come due. And when you wonder why the 2018 market seems soft, this history may certainly be a factor.
Also above the $15 Million threshold are Freddie Freeman, Dexter Fowler, Kenley Jansen & Elvis Andrus.
Others available include Yadier Molina, Edwin Encarnacion, Ryan Zimmerman, Jay Bruce, Matt Carpenter & Jason Kipnis. Would you rather have the money to spend on the free agent class?
Wow, this is almost as difficult as owning a Fantasy team. My dilemma in March is deciding how many contract years to extend Corey Seager.


In recent years, meditation has risen to prominence as a compelling way to combat the negative effects of stress. Additionally, studies on the practice have suggested that healing meditation's benefits include pain reduction, addiction, and anxiety.
Luckily, you can start your practice with the helpful guidance of world-renowned meditation leader Deepak Chopra and his Chopra Center. You may know Deepak as Oprah Winfrey's close spiritual friend, but he's even better known for his wisdom, inspiring outlook on life, and his pursuit of perfect health and inner peace.
Ready to discover the calm beyond the noisy chatter? Follow along with Deepak's Chopra Center meditations below.
Meditation is a form of mindfulness, and just like mindfulness, it helps to start getting focused by bringing attention to your breath.
In the following meditation, Deepak Chopra guides you in breath awareness. This simple meditation is a great place to start and an easy way to quickly manage stress.
Try this meditation after you've done a few of the basic breath awareness exercises, and are ready for a real meditation experience.
Carve out some time during your day and get into a comfortable position to start. When you're ready, play this guided meditation to quiet the stressful "noises" of your mind.
Meditation is a great tool for not just stress; it's a great way to help you focus your mind. This is a great morning meditation – Deepak Chopra starts his day out with a two hour meditation that allow him to set intentions for his day. In the following meditation, he shares his four favorite intentions to repeat during meditation.
Since meditation helps quiet the mind, it makes sense for it to help with easing the mind into a restful state – ready for deep sleep.
Let Deepak Chopra guide you into dreamland with this meditation for sleep.
Meditation can help bring certain focus, enlightenment, and clarity to other aspects of your life as well.
For example, if you're feeling low on energy, it's good to take a break. Why not take a break with Deepak and refresh your energy with the following meditation? It focuses on maximizing energy to be your most productive self.
Now think about the relationships in your life. Could you use clarity or focus there?
This meditation could help. In the following guided practice, Deepak Chopra calls for you to open your heart to let the joy in and to bring more empathy to your relationships for better understanding on both sides.
Deepak Chopra inspires many because he firmly believes that each person deserves a more fulfilling and joyful life. You can find more meditations as well as participate in the meditation challenge at chopracentermeditation.com.

Abstracts: Research Supervision as Interactional Competence
Research Supervision as Interactional Competence
Anne Pirrie(presenting / submitting)Saif Eddine Necib(presenting)
22 SES 11 D, Teaching of Research Skills and Attitudes
Colin McCaig
This presentation explores the practice and ethics of research supervision in higher education. It draws upon a range of conceptual resources, from socio-linguistics (the area in which the second author's PhD study is located) to philosophy of education and education policy studies, which are related to the first author's interests. This contribution has emerged from the lived experience of the authors, who find themselves cast in the roles of Director of Studies (Pirrie) and PhD student (Necib). The presentation will take the form of a dialogue, in order to achieve a degree of consonance between the mode and substance of the presentation.
The specific theme of research supervision is considered in the broader context of the resurgence of interest in the purpose and ethos of the university in a climate increasingly dominated by the business model of higher education (Collini, 2012; 2017; Warner, 2014; 2015; Williams, 2016; Reclaiming Our University, 2016; Pirrie, 2018). The rapid growth of the 'internationalisation agenda' over the last decade is one manifestation of the marketization of higher education in the UK and across Europe. In the UK, considerable energy and resources are now devoted to securing lucrative arrangements to provide educational opportunities for international students in an attempt to make up for a substantial shortfall in government funding. As De Vita and Case (2003: 383) point out, the internationalisation agenda has been redefined in 'commercially expedient terms'. This has resulted in a shift in the terms of reference from considerations of inclusion and exclusion in the context of research supervision in higher education. In this presentation, the conference theme is explored with particular reference to the experience of an international student studying in a UK higher education institution.
The presentation will explore the impact of these developments on the prospects for genuine dialogue and intercultural exchange, in a manner that foregrounds both of these elements. Stephen Ball (2015: 258) distinguishes between 'the big-neo-liberalism, "out there" in the economy' and the 'little-neo- liberalism, "in here" in our daily lives and in our heads'. The former operates within what we now call the 'knowledge economy and informational capitalism', which forms the contextual backdrop for this study. The latter 'is realised in a set of local practices that 'articulates the mundane rhythms of our email traffic, our form-filling … and re-modulates the ways in which we relate to one another as neo-liberal subjects, individual, responsible, striving, competitive, enterprising' (Ball, 2015: 258: see also Ball, 2003) (our emphasis). We shall explore the potentially corrosive effects of the 'little-neo-liberalism' on the supervisory relationship, drawing on previous work in this area (Deuchar, 2008; Halse, 2011; Halse and Malfroy, 2010; Elliot, Reid and Baumfield, 2016a; Elliot et al, 2016; Elliot, Baumfield and Reid, 2016). What distinguishes this study from others is the emphasis on the dialogic relation rather than on the identification of a range of supervisory 'styles'. We believe that the latter approach implies a deterministic bias and systematically underplays the role of the micro-dynamics of social interaction (Rafanell, 2013) as constitutive of a productive, enjoyable and life-enhancing interpersonal relationship. The latter has greater potential than over-reliance institutional fixes based on monitoring and surveillance to bring about cultural change at the institutional level.
This is a qualitative study that proceeds from a review of the literature on research supervision in the current context. The contribution is innovative, in that it brings to bear dimensions of a PhD student's area of substantive inquiry upon a study of the dynamics of research supervision. Necib's work is on interactional competence in ESL in the Algerian university sector. The dynamics of PhD supervision will be regarded as a particular manifestation of interactional competence. This presentation will focus on the findings of the literature review, and the authors' experience of the supervisory relationship. The latter is the embodiment of a view of education, where the emphasis is on 'leading life, with others' rather than transmission of knowledge (Ingold, 2018) and the process of 'acculturation' (Elliot, Reid and Baumfield, 2016). As we shall demonstrate, the very notion of 'acculturation', defined as 'the learning of appropriate behaviour in a new culture' (He, 2002: 323) suggests an impoverished notion of inclusion, in so far as the 'new culture' remains relatively untouched. This may be indicative of the deterministic bias inherent in over-reliance on a theoretical framework derived from bio-ecological systems approaches (Elliot, Baumfield and Reid, 2016). It also indicates a tacit endorsement of the traditional view of education as transmission. The analytical framework will be devised with reference to theories of interactional competence, drawing upon Necib's PhD study. We conceive inclusion and exclusion as two facets of the same coin, constantly in interaction with each other. By the same token (no pun intended), the focus on interactional dimensions of research supervision foregrounds the micro-situational foundations of social structure. It also indicates that inclusion and exclusion are mutually interdependent states rather than polarities. This is a necessary corrective to the prevailing view of the neo-liberal subject as individual, responsible, striving, competitive, enterprising, and either included or excluded. We argue for a vision of research supervision in which vulnerability, care and co-operation are the core values of ethical practice. The collaboration between a PhD student and supervisor that reflects, extends and enriches the interests of both parties is indicative of the mainstreaming of the conference theme of inclusion/exclusion. It also constitutes a joyful act of resistance against institutional practices that militate against the cultivation of dialogic approaches to research supervision. We believe these have the capacity to enrich both the quality of the research environment, and the lives of individual researchers.
The findings from this study will be used to inform discussions of the nature of supervisory practice in the authors' institution. To this end they will be disseminated to colleagues and fellow students through a contribution to the departmental seminar series. This will pave the way for highlighting the implications of our findings for policy and practice in our home institution, and in the wider context of higher education. We expect that the outcome of the study will also foster discussion and debate among the growing community of international students in our institution. It will also add value to Necib's small-scale study of the challenges faced by international students at UWS when conducting fieldwork in their country of origin (Necib, 2017). We shall seek out opportunities to disseminate our findings to international students in a range of HEIs and on a variety of social media platforms concerned with the future of HE.

Perforasomes of the Nerves of the Upper Extremity
Suhail K Mithani, MD; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC; Steven M. Koehler, MD; Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University, Durham, NC
Introduction:The purpose was to examine the extrinsic perforator blood supply to the major peripheral nerves of the upper extremity and to categorize the perforasomes of the nerves.
Materials & Methods:Total limb perfusion of the arterial system was performed with a gelatin-red lead oxide mixture in cadaveric upper limbs. The perforating vessels to the radial, median and ulnar nerves were identified, confirmed with fluoroscopy, dissected, and distances to major anatomic landmarks were measured. Additional limbsÕ nerves were dissected and source arteries were selectively cannulated and injected with different color inks to assess specific perforator contribution to extrinsic nerve perfusion. The nerves were then sectioned and examined for internal staining. The perfusion of each nerve was then calculated among all specimens.
Results: The radial, median and ulnar nerve perforators were mapped (Figure 1). The perforasomes of radial, median and ulnar nerves were mapped (Figure 2). The distal portion of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) was hypoperfused. The posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) was hypoperfused at the supinator muscle and distally. At and proximal to the carpal tunnel, the median nerve was hypovascular. Proximally, 25% of the median nerve in the forearm was hypovascular, corresponding to the pronator teres. At GuyonÕs canal and the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) the ulnar nerve was hypovascular.
Conclusions:Our findings demonstrate that peripheral nerves can be divided into perforasomes. Each perforasome carries a specific flow pattern, which does not overlap. The extrinsic perfusion of peripheral nerves is highly segmental. Hypoperfusion within the nerves correspond to common sites of compression: carpal tunnel and pronator teres for the median nerve, supinator for the PIN, distally for the SRN, and GuyonÕs canal and the FCU for the ulnar nerve. Our data suggests that the sites of common compression neuropathies are potentially predisposed to ischemia based on their lack of extrinsic vascularization, warranting further study to investigate this correlation.

After trading near the $20,000 level for several days, Bitcoin (BTC) turned down sharply and dropped below $19,000 on Sept. 6. The fall was not limited to the cryptocurrency markets as the United States equities markets also closed lower on Sept. 6.
Risky assets have been facing selling pressure in the past few days as investors are worried that the Federal Reserve could continue with its aggressive tightening policy.
The CME FedWatch Tool shows that the probability for a 75 basis point rate hike in the September meeting has risen to 80% from 69% a week back. This extended the rise in the U.S. dollar index (DXY), which closed above 110 on Sept. 6.
The U.S. equities markets and the cryptocurrency markets are attempting a relief rally on Sept. 7 but the recovery is likely to sustain only after the DXY shows signs of topping out.

Although the bear market has been brutal, it is an encouraging sign to see that venture capital firms have continued to plow money into cryptocurrency and blockchain companies. According to a KPMG report released on Sept. 6, the total investments in the first half of 2022 by these firms hit $14.2 billion, which comes after the record $32.1 billion investments made in 2021.
What are the critical overhead resistances in Bitcoin and altcoins that need to be crossed for the bullish momentum to pick up? Let's study the charts of the top-10 cryptocurrencies to find out.
Bitcoin's tight range trading between $19,520 and $20,576 resolved to the downside on Sept. 6. The bears pulled the price to the strong support zone between $18,910 and $18,626.

If the price rebounds off the zone, the BTC/USDT pair could rally to the breakdown level of $19,520. The bears will attempt to flip this level into resistance. If they manage to do that, the likelihood of a break below the support zone increases.
That could sink the pair to the vital support at $17,622. A break and close below this level could signal the resumption of the downtrend. The downsloping 20-day exponential moving average (EMA)($20,427) and the relative strength index (RSI) near the oversold territory indicate that bears are in control.
The first sign of strength will be a break and close above the 20-day EMA. Such a move will indicate that bulls are attempting a comeback.
Ether (ETH) rose above the moving averages on Sept. 6 but the bulls could not clear the overhead hurdle at $1,700. The bears sold aggressively and pulled the price back below the 20-day EMA ($1,597).

The bears will try to build upon the advantage and sink the price below the neckline of the head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. If they succeed, the ETH/USDT pair could drop to $1,422 and then to the important support at $1,280. The pattern target of this bearish setup is $1,050.
Alternatively, if the price bounces off the neckline, it will suggest that bulls continue to view dips as a buying opportunity. The pair could then consolidate between the neckline and $1,700 for some time. A break and close above $1,700 could clear the path for a possible rally to $2,030.
BNB turned down sharply from the 20-day EMA ($282) on Sept. 6 and broke below the critical support at $275. This completed a bearish H&S pattern.
BNB/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
Generally, after the breakdown from a major support, the price returns to retest the level. In this case, buyers will try to push the price back above $275. If they manage to do that, several aggressive bears may get trapped. That could result in a short squeeze and the BNB/USDT pair could rally to $308.
On the other hand, if the price turns down from $275, it will suggest that bears have flipped the level into resistance. That could start a decline to $240 and if this support also gives way, the next stop could be the pattern target at $212.
XRP/USDT
The bulls pushed XRP above the overhead resistance at $0.34 on Sept. 6 but the bears trapped the aggressive buyers and pulled the price below the immediate support at $0.32.
XRP/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
A minor positive is that the bulls have not allowed the price to sustain below $0.32. The long tail on the Sept. 7 candlestick shows buying at lower levels. If the price sustains above $0.32, the XRP/USDT pair could extend its range-bound action for some more time.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns down from the current level and sustains below $0.32, it will clear the path for a possible decline to $0.30. The bulls are likely to defend this level with all their might.
Cardano (ADA) closed above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) (0.49) on Sept. 4 and the bulls defended the level on Sept. 5. Buyers tried to extend the relief rally on Sept. 6 but met with a wall of selling near $0.51.
ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The price turned down sharply and broke below the moving averages. Both moving averages are flattish and the RSI is just below the midpoint, indicating a range-bound action in the near term. The ADA/USDT pair could oscillate between $0.44 and $0.51 in the next few days.
The bears will have to sink the price below $0.44 to open the doors for a drop to the crucial support at $0.40. Alternatively, if the price turns up from the current level and breaks above $0.51, the pair could rally to the downtrend line.
SOL/USDT
Solana (SOL) rallied to the 20-day EMA ($33) on Sept. 6 but the bulls could not overcome this barrier. This suggests that the sentiment remains negative and traders are selling on rallies.
SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
A minor positive is that the bulls have not allowed the price to dip below the immediate support at $30. If the price turns up from the current level, the bulls will again try to drive the SOL/USDT pair above the 20-day EMA. If they succeed, the pair could rally to the 50-day SMA ($38).
On the contrary, if the price turns down and breaks below $30, the pair could extend its slide to the vital support at $26. The bulls are likely to mount a strong defense at this level because if this support cracks, the pair could resume its downtrend.
The bulls attempted to push Dogecoin (DOGE) above the 20-day EMA ($0.06) on Sept. 6 but the bears sold the rally aggressively and pulled the price below the immediate support at $0.06.
DOGE/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
Buyers are attempting to push the price back above $0.06 on Sept. 7. If they succeed, the DOGE/USDT pair could again rally to the overhead resistance at the 20-day EMA. This remains a critical level to watch out for in the near term because a rally above it could push the price to $0.07.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns down from $0.06 or the 20-day EMA, it will suggest that bears are selling on rallies. That could increase the possibility of a drop to the strong support at $0.05.

Buyers attempted to push Polkadot (DOT) above the moving averages on Sept. 5 and 6 but the bears defended the level aggressively as seen from the long wick on the candlesticks.
DOT/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The 20-day EMA ($7.38) is sloping down and the RSI is in the negative territory, indicating advantage to sellers. If bears sink and sustain the price below the immediate support at $6.79, the DOT/USDT pair could slip to the crucial support at $6. The bulls are likely to mount a strong defense at this level.
Alternatively, if the price turns up from the current level and rises above the moving averages, it will suggest strong buying on dips. That could push the pair to $9.17 and later to the overhead resistance at $10.
MATIC/USDT
Buyers defended the 50-day SMA ($0.87) on Sept. 5 and attempted to extend the recovery on Sept. 6 but the bears had other plans. They sold aggressively at $0.92 and pulled Polygon (MATIC) back below the moving averages.
MATIC/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The 20-day EMA ($0.85) has started to turn down and the RSI is near 46, indicating that bears have a slight edge. Sellers will attempt to pull the price to the strong support at $0.75.
This is an important support to watch out for because a break and close below it could complete a bearish H&S pattern. If that happens, the MATIC/USDT pair could start a decline to $0.63 and thereafter to the pattern target of $0.45.
This negative view could invalidate in the near term if bulls push the pair above $0.93. The price could then rise to the strong overhead resistance at $1.05.
SHIB/USDT
The bulls purchased the dip in Shiba Inu (SHIB) on Sept. 5 but they could not sustain the price above the 20-day EMA ($0.000013). This indicates that bears are selling on every minor rally.
SHIB/USDT daily chart. Source: TradingView
The 20-day EMA has turned down and the RSI is just below the midpoint, indicating a minor advantage to bears. The sellers will attempt to sink the price to the psychological support at $0.000010 and then to $0.000009. Buyers are expected to defend this support zone with vigor.
Another possibility is that the price turns up from the current level and breaks above the moving averages. Such a move will suggest that selling dries up at lower levels. The SHIB/USDT pair could first rise to $0.000015 and later to $0.000018.

This year, January-October 2018, we have helped 8,333 local residents living in crisis, by supplying over 74,900 meals (this is more than a meal for everyone at a capacity Murrayfield Stadium!). EFP staff and volunteers have also been working hard to develop our foodbank centres into Support Hubs where clients can collect food parcels, have a cup of tea and chat with our volunteers but now also have the opportunity to engage with support professionals on a variety of issues such as employment opportunities, housing information and welfare advice.
With Universal Credit rolling out in Edinburgh on November the 28th, the first payment being January the 3rd, (just think about that for a second…) and the cold weather creating an increased demand we are preparing for our busiest Christmas ever, and we are asking for your help! No matter how small, every single donation, will enable us support those in need in our community.
We have set out below some easy and different ways you are able to donate this Christmas.
Please consider supporting us this Christmas, in any way you can.
Black Friday shopping, Cyber Monday shopping, Christmas shopping – December is all shop shop shopping!!
Below are two of the easiest (and free) ways you can support us.When you are heading to Amazon to do your shopping this year use Smile.Amazon instead – all the prices are the same, for you the shopper, but EFP get 0.5% of your basket cost donated to us by Amazon.When shopping online why not go via EasyFundraising and choose us as your good cause. It works just like the cashback sites that you always see advertised on the TV, except the stores donate to us!
Always remember to choose Edinburgh Food Project as your good cause!
for every person we help, per month, it costs us £4.50 in running costs?
Running costs, to name only a few include; warehouse rent, energy bills, telephone and internet costs, diesel and office supplies.
There are a few ways you can make financial donations directly to us, to help cover these costs.
Commit to donating £5 per month, every month. Think of it as "the gift that keeps on giving" This commitment will allow us to budget and prepare for the future and to ensure we are able to continue to support local people in poverty.
Text MEAL33 £5 to 70070 to donate a one-off donation of £5 to help someone in need this Christmas.
Here are a few ideas to put the FUN in fundraising. No one said supporting us had to be boring!!
Christmas Jumper Day – Everyone in your workplace, school, community group (where isn't important!) all pick a date, wear a Christmas jumper and donate £1 to the foodbank.
Bake Sale – when you can't possibly eat another mince pie, have a bake sale! Donate any proceeds from the sale to Edinburgh Food Project.
Secret Santa – does anyone actually enjoy doing secret Santa? So much pressure to get a good gift, for £5, for someone you barely know. New plan this year, instead of doing secret Santa donate your £5 to Edinburgh Food Project.
3 meals for 3 days, for everyone in the family (we even have pet food).
Thank you to everyone who has donated, will donate and have encouraged others to donate.
We quite simply would not be able to help so many people, living in crisis, if it was not for the generosity and kindness of all of our donors.
P.S Our warehouse/office will be open Monday-Friday 09:00-16:00 from the 1st of December until the 20th of December, and 09:00-15:00 on the 21st of December. We will then reopen on the 3rd of January at 09:00.

«Порденоне» () — італійський футбольний клуб з міста Порденоне, в області Фріулі-Венеція-Джулія. Домашні матчі команда проводить на стадіоні Оттавіо Боттеккья, що вміщає 3 089 глядачів. З 2014 року клуб виступав в італійській Серії C, а 2019 року вперше в історії вийшов до Серії Б, через що тимчасово перебрався на «Стадіо Фріулі», яка відповідає вимогам дивізіону.

Історія
Клуб був заснований в 1920 році як Футбольний клуб Порденоне ( і тривалий час виступав у нижчих лігах Італії.

За підсумками сезону 2007/08 клуб виграв групу регіону Фріулі-Венеція-Джулія ліги Еччеленца (п'ятий рівень в системі футбольних ліг Італії) і вийшов в Серію D. Через шість років, у 2014 році, «Порденоне» пробився і в новостворену Легу Про (з 2018 року — Серія C), посівши перше місце в групі З Серії D. У дебютному сезоні в третій за значимістю лізі Італії команда змушена була грати в матчах на виліт, де в матчах за збереження місця в лізі їй протистояла «Монца». «Порденоне» програв їй обидва матчі із загальним рахунком 3:8. Однак перед стартом сезону 2015/16 команді було надано право продовжити виступати у лізі через ряд банкрутств і понижень у класі інших клубів ліги.

У 2016 році «Порденоне» здобув право грати у плей-оф за вихід в Серію B, зайнявши друге місце в групі А, але в півфіналі програв «Пізі» (0:3 у гостях 0:0 вдома). Через рік «Порденоне» знову в півфіналі того ж турніру і поступився «Пармі» в серії пенальті.

12 грудня 2017 року «Порденоне» грав проти міланського «Інтернаціонале» в рамках Кубка Італії на «Сан-Сіро». Команда Серії С змогла вистояти протягом 120 хвилин, але все ж поступилася іменитому супернику в серії пенальті 4:5. Тоді прославився і клубний твіттер, чиї повідомлення в той день розійшлися на меми. Сезон ж у Серії С «Порденоне» завершив на дев'ятому місці і програв у першому раунді плей-оф за вихід в Серію B «ФеральпіСало» з рахунком 1:3.

У 2019 році «Порденоне» вперше у своїй історії вийшов в Серію Б.

If you're tired right now or are relying on a bucket of coffee to get through your day, you aren't alone.
Tech Insider has reviewed a number of studies and interviewed sleep experts to figure out how to best transform your sleep habits. Here are 13 science-backed tips.
Our daily schedule while we're working is often anything but natural. It ignores our individual chronotype (whether we're night owls or morning people) and forces us onto a societal instead of individual sleep schedule. Plus, anxiety can make natural sleep difficult.
Eating too soon before sleeping is associated with heartburn, which can ruin a night. And even though a nightcap is tempting and might help you fall asleep at first, people who drink a lot before bed usually experience disruptions to their sleep in the second half of the night. The more time you can give yourself between partying and feasting and sleeping, the better your rest will be overall.
This is advice that people love to ignore, but there are very good reasons for it. The blue light from your phone mimics the brightness of the sun, which tells your brain to stop producing melatonin, an essential hormone that regulates your circadian rhythm and tells your body when it's time to wake and when it's time to sleep.
Disruptions to your circadian rhythm are not only linked to poor sleep, they're also connected to vision problems, cancer, and depression. Put the damn phone away.
- Read a book or magazine you enjoy — just make sure it's not work related.
- Write your thoughts down. Experts say journaling at night can help manage stress and anxiety, making it easier for you to drift off. Spending a few minutes writing in a journal is associated with more productive workdays, less stress, fewer symptoms of depression, and more.
- Create a hygiene ritual that sends a psychological signal that you are getting ready for bed. Brush your teeth, wash your face, floss.
- Try meditation. Studies show that mindfulness meditation lowers stress and promotes psychological well-being. If you want something that will send you to sleep, the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center has a selection of free downloadable meditations, including one specifically designed to be done in bed.
Experts say that drifting back off will only leave you groggier if you fall into a deeper sleep and it'll take even longer for you to feel fully awake.
Training yourself to relax using a technique like progressive muscle relaxation (individually focusing on relaxing every part of your body in sequence) or meditation can help. Tech Insider's Rafi Letzter calls the sleep meditations on the Buddhify app "the first good solution" he's found for chronic insomnia.


Antique design in sheesham, brass ferrules and sole, imitation ivory mounts, black velvet cover and Rexine bag. This Roosebeck Bagpipe set has a Rexine bag. Rexine is a soft, synthetic, material designed to be air tight and to feel like high quality suede. The Rexine bag features a contoured goose neck for better airflow. Unlike the natural leather bag, the Rexine bag requires no breaking in period, and no seasoning. We think all pipers will appreciate the design, the texture and the lighter weight of this set with its Rexine bag. Includes 2 cane pipe chanter reeds, 1 set of aluminum drone reeds with carbon fiber tongues and thread. Approximately 40" x 20".


An electric motor consumes 100 watts (a joule per second (J/s)) of power to obtain 90 watts of mechanical power. Determine its efficiency.
Input to the electric motor is in the form of electrical energy and the output is mechanical energy.
This is a simple example because both variables are measured in Watts. If the two variables were measured differently, you would need to convert them to equivalent forms before performing the calculation.
Use the following link to generate a random practice problem similar to the Practice 1 example.
The previous example about an electrical motor is very simple because both mechanical and electrical power is given in Watts. Units of both the input and the output have to match; if they do not, you must convert them to similar units.
The United States Power plants consumed 39.5 quadrillion Btus of energy and produced 3.675 trillion kWh of electricity. What is the average efficiency of the power plants in the U.S.?
To find the efficiency, both the units of input energy and the output energy have to be same. So we need to convert kWh into Btus.
Use the formula for efficiency.
Use the following link to generate a random practice problem similar to the Practice 2 example.
About 40% of the US energy is used in power generation.
About 27% of the US energy is used for transportation.
Yet the energy efficiency of a power plant is about 35%, and the efficiency of automobiles is about 25%. Thus, over 62% of the total primary energy in the U.S. is used in relatively inefficient conversion processes.
Why are power plant and automobile design engineers allowing this? Can they do better?
There are some natural limitations when converting energy from heat to work.

Alexander Raymond's paintings are poised between empathetic sensitivity and feel-good kitschiness. This is where the explicitly illustrative and the painterly subject meet. For him, they are like stage-sets, landscape backdrops with theatrical lighting and unnaturally radiant colours. What they convey to the viewer is not just the conventional visualisation of the allures of mass tourism, but also the painter's feel for landscape, borne of his own individual aesthetic. Raymond's paintings are densely atmospheric works which generate an ambivalent tension in the viewer and at the same time convey impenetrable depth. The supposedly familiar and habitual here conceal something uncanny; hence the emergence of shadowy figures and objects like reflections cut adrift.
The illustrated book was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Alexander Raymond", 2009, Levy Galerie Hamburg.

Effect of nitrogen levels and cutting management on green forage yield of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.)
Author(s): Bollaveni Sathish Kumar, Raj Vir Singh, Akhilesh Kumar Gupta and J Ravinder
The field experiment, conducted to evaluate the Effect of nitrogen levels and cutting management on growth, yield and quality of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.). A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2015-16 at Crop Research Centre (Chirauri) of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.) to evaluate the effect of nitrogen levels and cutting management on performance of fodder oat and chemical properties of soil. The area lie at a latitude of 29o 40' North and longitude of 77o 42' East with an elevation of 237 meters above mean sea level. The soil of the experimental field was well drained, sandy loam in texture and slightly alkaline in reaction. It was medium in available nitrogen and phosphorus but high in available potassium with an electrical conductivity (1:2, soil: water suspension) of 1.6 dS/m. The treatments comprised 5 nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg ha-1) and 2 cutting management (single at 50% flowering and double at 60 DAS and 50% flowering), replicated 4 times in a factorial randomized block design. The data on growth, physiology, green forage yield and quality and its contributing traits were calculated on net plot area basis (16 m2). The results indicated that green forage yield and dry forage yield of oat were significantly superior at 160 kg nitrogen ha-1. Likewise, single cut resulted into higher values of above mentioned parameters than their respective counterparts like double cutting (60DAS and 50 % flowering).
