South Korean Retailers to Prioritize Employee Work-Life Balance

SEOUL, Feb. 28 (Korea Bizwire) — Following the government's move to shorten legal working hours, an increasing number of South Korean retailers are expected to help employees achieve a healthy work-life balance.
The Environment & Labor Committee at the National Assembly passed a reform bill today that prohibits employees from working more than 52 hours in a week.
Though many retail workers already work fewer than 52 hours per week, the decision by the labor committee is expected to boost the current trend towards a lighter work week.
"Though the retail industry has been operating during the weekend, and staff have been working no more than 52 hours a week, no immediate change will take place (in the wake of the bill). However, efforts to cut down on working hours and create policies to ensure a work-life balance will continue on a social level," one source close to the retail industry said.
A number of retail companies have already taken the initiative, including Shinsegae Group, which has drastically slashed weekly working hours to 35, which amounts to seven hours every day.
E-Mart stores now close at 11 p.m. as opposed to midnight, while some branches of Shinsegae Department Store open at 11:30 a.m. instead of 10:30 a.m.
Though production workers and employees at business affiliates have yet to benefit from the new work schedules, the group plans to extend the policy to more staff in the future.
Lotte has also banned work-related requests sent via messaging apps, and is implementing a 'PC Off' policy at business affiliates to put an end to overtime work.
Plans are also in the works to improve the company's new paternity leave policy, which was introduced last year.
Last August, Hyundai Department Store Group introduced a two-hour off policy, which allows workers to use their vacation days to leave work two hours early, while another policy shuts computers down by force past working hours.
Some say that more needs to be done for workers to truly enjoy their free time with their family.
"Though I receive substitute day offs and overtime payment, the whole store needs to be closed on some days in order to ensure the right of workers to enjoy their spare time with their family," one member of a supermarket labor union said.

Truckin' Up to Low Earth Orbit, Part 3: The Shuttle Gives Science a Boost
By Michael J. Battaglia on July 6, 2011
This is the third of a three-part series that looks back at the 30-year history of the U.S. space shuttle program.
Before the 1986 Challenger disaster made safety paramount and new constraints had been established, the shuttle could carry fueled upper-stage rockets to launch space probes, which embarked for planetary destinations.
From low orbit to deep space
The delivery into orbit of the Hubble Space Telescope, considered one of NASA's greatest science achievements, stands out. Not as well known, but very important to solar system astronomy, were the highly successful Magellan, Galileo and Ulysses probes, sent on to orbit Venus, Jupiter and the sun, respectively, from shuttles' cargo bays. Besides Hubble, these trucks also hauled into orbit two other important orbiting telescopes: the still operating Chandra X-Ray and the deorbited Compton Gamma-Ray observatories.

Of course, besides safety concerns, there were other drawbacks. Space probes had to be configured and sized to fit into the shuttle bay. For example, Galileo was designed with a foldable high-gain antenna, to be opened like an umbrella after embarkation. Unfortunately, it added complexity to what would have been designed as a rigid dish, and once Galileo was Jupiter-bound the antenna did not completely unfurl—a problem that almost ended the mission. Fortunately, innovative flight engineers were able to program the craft to use a low-gain antenna for sending back the torrents of data, albeit much more slowly. Patience, new trajectories and compression programs saved the mission.
Wrangle, repair and release
Although the refurbishment and repair of the Hubble Telescope is well known, spacewalking shuttle astronauts have also captured, repaired and released errant communication and military satellites, including the dramatic rescue in 1992 of the Intelsat 6 by three astronauts, who pulled the wobbling, five-meter-tall sat into Endeavour's cargo bay with their hands after specially designed tools had failed and installed a booster rocket to place it into a useful orbit. Shuttles have carried dozens of communications and military sats into orbit.

Akers and Pierre J. Thuot. Behind the three spacewalkers is the rocket motor that boosted the satellite into its proper orbit. Credit: NASA
Although the final mission set for launch later this week will be mostly to bring more than 3,500 kilograms of groceries, staples, spare parts and other supplies to the ISS crews to get them through the first year without shuttle service, there will be one experiment that will prepare NASA for the post-shuttle era. The final mission will deploy a package demonstrating a satellite-refueling system that it is hoped will spur U.S. private sector investment into the satellite-resurrection business.
Science at 28,000 kilometers per hour
Shuttles have been used to carry laboratories into orbit. Both SPACEHAB and Spacelab allowed mission specialists to run astronomy, microgravity life science, atmospheric and other experiments from inhabitable modules in the school bus–size cargo bay or to operate from inside the cabin pallets laden with telescopes or experiments exposed to the space environment.
Also notable, a very fruitful science mission took place on Endeavour in February 2000. The Shuttle Radar Topography mission returned with more than 300 high-density tapes containing nine terabytes of raw data that have been made into one of the highest-resolution digital topographic maps of Earth. Not as successful were two attempts to fly a tethered satellite developed by the Italian Space Agency. On the first flight the tether jammed; on the second, as it unfurled out to 20 kilometers, it snapped. Valuable data on ionospheric charge (3,500 volts were generated) and ionized shock waves were garnered nonetheless.
Pink slips and the final countdown
All good (and otherwise) things must come to an end. But it is not going to be smooth sailing into the next space transportation system for many shuttle employees. The United Space Alliance, the consortium that services the shuttle, laid off 1,000 employees as of October 2010. Unfortunately, that will be only the beginning of the downscaling. All told, it is expected that thousands of jobs will be lost, with the biggest blow to Florida workers, after Atlantis touches down.
And so, warts and all, three decades of U.S. space history reaches its culmination with the upcoming flight of Atlantis. Looking back, the old space trucks that cost an estimated $195 billion—more than the AIG bailout, but less than the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—may have been a government bean-counter's nightmare, and there no doubt will be more efficient and safer ways to get crews and cargo into orbit. But for better or worse, the shuttle program has been an integral part of the Space Age, and those who were part of it should feel proud as the old, dinged-up and dirty space truck settles into its hard-earned and distinguished role in the history of human accomplishment.

Vitamin D deficiency - Dr R Padmakumar et al.
Vitamin D deficiency : Dr R Padmakumar et al.
Excessive intakes of vitamin D can lead to high levels of calcium (hypercalcemia). The symptoms of this are weakness, confusion, constipation, loss of appetite and development of painful calcium deposits. To avoid this, advice to keep the supplement intake below the tolerable upper limits.
In vitamin D deficiency due to reduced oral intake or reduced sun exposure ,Vitamin D level and calcium level will be low with normal parathyroid function. Calcium level will be high and vitamin D will be low when primary hyperparathyroidism exists.
Research has begun to show a relationship between BMI and vitamin D deficiency. A study done on 2,187 overweight and obese subjects, found that those with a BMI above 40 had 18% lower serum vitamin D levels than those with a BMI under 40. Some possible reasons for this are lower intakes of vitamin D , less exposure to sunlight (uv) radiation and a higher distribution volume of vitamin D . Even with exposure to sunlight, there remains a risk for deficiency.
Morbid obese patients have a higher incidence of high PTH and low vitamin D even before surgery compared with normal individuals.
In gastric bypass: low calcium absorption due to bypassed duodenum and jejunum may be the cause.
In sleeve gastrectomy the vitamin D and calcium level are maintained within normal limits compared to bypass surgery.
Gall bladder removal may reduce vitamin D and magnesium levels. This may be due to reduced absorption of fat soluble vitamins (D, E, A and K).
People with compromised liver or digestive function are often vitamin D deficient. Exposure of skin to the sun's UVB rays enables body to manufacture vitamin D. However, this process occurs in the liver and kidneys. Here people with a sluggish liver often do not manufacture vitamin D adequately.
When the blood level of vitamin D is below 30 ng/ml, a minimum of 1,000 IU/day will be needed for children and 1,500 to 2,000 IU/day of vitamin D3 for adults.
Another rule of thumb is for every 1 ng/ml increase in blood level one need is an additional 100IU/day.
In obese patients , with malabsorbtion syndromes and patients on medications affecting vitamin D metabolism, it is advised to have a higher dose (two to three times higher , atleast 6,000-10,000IU/day) of vitamin D to treat deficiency to maintain a 25(OH)D level above 30ng/ml, followed by maintenance therapy of 3,000-6,000IU/day.
After parathyroid removal , may be wise to have a concomitant replacement of vitamin D with calcitriol (0.25-1mcg/day). Dependence on calcium supplementation for more than 6 months shows permanent hypoparathyroidism; which will necessitate continued use of such medications.

United fans give IPO cautious welcome
World's most popular football club to float on the New York Stock Exchange as Glazer family bid to tackle debt.
04 Jul 2012 10:33 GMT
The club's American owners, the Glazer family, have faced continuing protests from United fans after taking over in 2005 in a leveraged buyout that left the club with large debt repayments [GALLO/GETTY]
Manchester United supporters gave a guarded welcome to the club's planned US share sale on Wednesday, warning the move could only be deemed a success if it helped to pay off the Red Devils' massive debts.
United, the most successful club in English football history and reputedly the best supported club in the world, filed papers in the United States on Tuesday for an initial public share offering.
The papers gave a pro-forma amount of $100 million as the target for the share issue, but recent reports about abortive attempts to list it in Hong Kong or Singapore said the owners had aimed to bring in $1 billion.
The team, controlled since 2005 by the Glazer family - billionaire US sports investors - has struggled in recent years with debts from the takeover despite possessing arguably the world's strongest global fan base.
Huge debts
United fans have long protested the Glazers' heavily leveraged takeover, arguing the debts loaded onto the club have steadily eroded its ability to compete for top talent in an ever-spiralling transfer market.
United appeared to acknowledge the crippling impact of the club's debt burden in the papers filed in New York.
"Our indebtedness could adversely affect our health and competitive position ... reduce availability of our cash flow to fund the hiring and retention of players and coaching staff," the papers noted.
"We intend to use all of our net proceeds from this offering to reduce our indebtedness."
Duncan Drasdo, chief executive of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust (MUST), welcomed the plan to reduce the club's debt, saying the wording of the filing vindicated the group's long-held concerns.
"If it turns out that the vast majority of the proceeds are used to pay off the debt that is certainly something MUST would welcome and entirely vindicates our longstanding position that their debt was damaging our club," Drasdo said.
"The destination of the funds shows the Glazers have finally conceded this as their filing includes health warnings."
Tensions over United's finances hit a peak in 2010, when the club's liabilities topped $1.55 billion and fans rebelled at management, launching protests aimed at denying the club revenues.
But the debts have been slashed in the past two years, and profits have grown despite the team's narrow loss of the Premier League title to cross-town rivals Manchester City this year.
The club's name and fame underpin massive stored value that the owners hope will bring in strong support for the IPO.
The prospectus said that as of March 31, liabilities were down to 606 million pounds ($949 million) and debt was 423 billion pounds ($662 billion), and profits for the nine months to March 31 were 38 million pounds ($59 million), nearly triple a year earlier.
The listed company would be the newly-created Manchester United Ltd, established in April this year in the tax haven of Cayman Islands.
Manchester United is wholly controlled by Red Football LLC, a Glazer-led company registered in the US state of Delaware, which manages the team through British-incorporated Red Football Shareholder Ltd.
Before the offering goes ahead, Red Football Shareholder will be injected into the Cayman unit, and the business of the team "will be conducted through Manchester United Ltd. and its subsidiaries," the prospectus said.
The listing is unlikely to water down the Glazers' control. According to the prospectus, their Red Football LLC holds 100 per cent of class A shares and 100 per cent of class B shares in the Cayman unit to be listed.
In the offering, they will sell off some of the A shares while retaining the B shares, which have 10 times the voting rights of the A shares.
MUST chief Drasdo questioned whether the structuring of the sale would be attractive to investors.
"It appears the new A shares on offer will be inferior to the Glazers own B shares as they will carry only 1/10 of the voting rights," he said.
"Furthermore the preliminary filing appears to indicate they will not be paying dividends either.
"A minority shareholding with inferior voting rights and no dividends is going to severely impact on the attraction to both financial and supporter investors."

Listening to t. . .
Listening to the mountains
Do we really recognise ecocide? What would it take for us to necessitate the recognition and punishment of this heinous crime, this crime of destroying the earth and the environment?"
Valerie Cabane, renowned French lawyer with specialisation in human rights and Humanitarian Law, raised and addressed these pertinent questions at the 30th annual Bhoomi festival, organised by the Navdanya movement, in collaboration with India International Centre, New Delhi, on October 1, 2017. The theme of this one-day event was 'Listening to the Mountains.'
Almost all over the world, mountains have been considered sacred. At the festival, activities like panel discussions, talks, and presentations were held by global pioneers of mountain ecology conservation. These revolved around the impending need for listening to the cry of the mountains that bear the brunt of climate change. The speakers stressed upon the need for organic farming to stop the spread of poisons that cause diseases and destabilise the climate.
Key speakers at the event were Chief Minister of Sikkim, Pawan Chamling, renowned environmentalist and founder-director of Navdanya, Dr. Vandana Shiva, and President of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM), Andre Leu, among many other global guests.
CM Chamling is a champion of organic farming and is the only political leader in the world whose state has been declared 100 percent organic (2016). Speaking on the occasion, he said, "We, the people of mountains, have a huge responsibility towards our country because the Himalayas are the water source for billions of people. We are facing a great crisis because of the man-made disaster of climate change. We have to change now; we have to stop interfering with nature and remove the poisons from our food and farms. I will play my part in the mission to make the Himalayas 100 percent organic."
His statement was followed by the announcement of Navdanya Bija community—that has been chemical free for long—joining forces with pesticide free communities in the Alps. Dr Vandana Shiva, on this occasion, said, "Today is a historic moment as people from the Himalayas to the Alps have joined hands to stop the use of poisons in our farms and not allow toxins to pollute our rivers and spread cancer in our societies."
The oratory was then followed by various cultural performances. Theatre, songs, and films on mountain ecology and organic farming found an apt platform in the festival. UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador to Nepal, Ani Choying Drolma, who is popularly known as the Singing Nun also performed at the festival.
Where there is a political will, there is definitely a way. If the political leader makes it a personal mission to safeguard the environment, then the day is not far when our earth will regain its lost glory.

Obituary:
Peggy Louise (Ellis) Campbell joined the Church Triumphant on Thursday, October 13, 2016, at the age of 67 at her home with her family by her side.
Peggy was born in Omaha, NE on December 3, 1948. She graduated from Central High School in 1967. She was briefly married in 1968 and blessed with a son, Sean. She worked in recorded music sales for seven years until meeting her husband George in 1974. They were married in 1976 and in 1977, George's son, Doug joined their family. In 1981, she started as a part-time teller at what later became U.S. Bank. With hard work and many opportunities, she retired as an assistant vice-president in 2008.
Peggy and George moved to Sheridan, WY in 2008 where she continued working in banking for five years. Peggy was skeptical about moving to Sheridan from the "big city" but soon fell in love with the people, their commitment to the community and of course, the mountains.
Full retirement allowed Peggy to become more involved in Church and community volunteer activities. She became an elder, treasurer of Presbyterian Women, volunteer for Lunch Together program, and delivered meals on wheels with her husband.
She is survived by her loving husband of forty years, George, son Doug, grandson, Alex, granddaughter Shawn, and great-grandson Aleister. She is also survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Howard Sorensen, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, David and Helen Campbell, nieces Elizabeth (Kevin) Grazier, Gwen Peake, and Corey (Ron) Rosenberg, nephews Steve Sorensen, Greg Peake, and David (Drew) Campbell and numerous great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son, Sean Wicker, mother and father, Orpha and Howard Ellis, sister Beverly Peake, mother-in-law and father-in-law Luella and Bob Campbell, and niece Mary Norene Campbell.

Ethiopia: Paul Kagame calls for direct action by UN Security Council to resolve crisis in Tigray
Date: February 16, 2021Author: Ermias Haile 0 Comments
[Rough translation of an article by Borgia Kobri published on Agence Ecofin]
For the Rwandan president, Ethiopia is no longer a source of stability in the Horn of Africa, mainly due to the conflict in Tigray, to which are added growing security tensions with its neighbors. This situation requires urgent action by the Security Council.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame (pictured) recently called on the new administration of U.S. President Joe Biden and the UN Security Council to take charge of the Tigray issue in order to resolve the violence and the worrying humanitarian situation prevailing in this region of northern Ethiopia.
It was on the 3rd of February during an interview conducted as part of a periodic exchange forum organized by the Hoover Institution, an American library and think tank close to the Republican Party and based at Stanford University.
On the theme "Rwand and the African Union: The Promise of and Increased Engagement between the United States and Africa," this edition of the forum, called Battlegrounds with Paul Kagame, aimed to discuss the African Union, security in the Great Lakes region and the future of US diplomatic and economic relations with Rwanda and Africa.
On the latest episode of "Battlegrounds," @LTGHRMcMaster and President @PaulKagame discuss the African Union, security in the Great Lakes region, and the future of U.S. diplomatic and economic relations with Rwanda and Africa. Watch the discussion here: https://t.co/PQYBK4BApW pic.twitter.com/cm55TahV9k
— Hoover Institution (@HooverInst) February 4, 2021
Speaking on the Tigray issue, the Rwandan President said that the situation in this region of Ethiopia was worrying, and the death toll was too high for the conflict to be left to Ethiopia or the African Union (AU).
Five reasons to intervene in Tigray
For Mehari Taddele Maru, an assistant professor at the Migration Policy Center of the Robert Schuman Center, there are five reasons why the UN Security Council needs action in Tigray.
First, the likely presence of the Eritrean armed forces in Tigray makes the war both a civil and international conflict, and therefore within the purview of the United Nations. Eritrean troops are said to be involved in killings and the forced return of Eritrean refugees, including the burning of the Shimelba and Hitsats refugee camps. Between 15,000 and 20,000 Eritrean refugees are missing, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Second, the Tigray region is now facing a possible famine, with 2.3 million people in need of emergency assistance. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reports that 4.5 million people, or 67% of the region's population, are in need of assistance. Ethiopian federal government forces are reportedly blocking access to aid and clean water. There are also reports of the deliberate destruction of UN stores and food markets.
Third, with up to two million people now internally displaced, Tigray represents a significant burden on global humanitarian resources at a time when the need in East Africa has never been greater, due to covid-19, locust infestation and food insecurity. The Ethiopian government's apparent reluctance to allow the international community to provide rapid, unconditional, unhindered and sustainable humanitarian access to all regions of Tigray has exacerbated a dire situation.
Fourth, some UN reports and those of other organizations in Tigray indicate possible serious violations of the Geneva Conventions and other aspects of international humanitarian law which prohibit the starvation of civilians and collective punishment. There are also reports of what could constitute state-led ethnic cleansing and genocide, as well as a "high number of alleged rapes." Tens of thousands of Tigrayans serving in the Ethiopian peacekeeping, security, military, police and intelligence spheres have been fired from their jobs and sometimes detained.
Fifth, Ethiopia is so consumed in the fighting in Tigray that it is no longer a source of regional stability and appears to to be relinquishing its role as a regional peacekeeper. Security tensions and border disputes are on the rise in the region, mainly between Ethiopia and Sudan, Kenya and Somalia, with an election-related crisis in Somalia and negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam increasing the risk of proxy wars. Sudan's fragile political transition can also be destabilized.
To make matters worse, the withdrawal of Ethiopian forces from peacekeeping missions in Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan will certainly increase instability. In particular, the departure of AMISOM Ethiopian troops in Somalia could pave the way for the rise of Shabaab terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda.
Security Council resolution needed
Continuing, the Rwandan President argued that when a state fails to prevent or mitigate atrocities on its territory, such as genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes, or where the state itself is the main perpetrator of such acts, the United Nations must not stand idly by. Moreover, only the Security Council can successfully challenge a government's deliberate obstruction of humanitarian aid, he insisted.
These are all reasons that, according to the Rwandan President, should prompt the UN Security Council to immediately address the situation in Tigray by adopting a resolution aimed at alleviating suffering in the region through determined international action and to convince the Ethiopian government to restore peace.
In concrete terms, the resolution should set up a monitoring and verification commission with a mandate to negotiate, observe, monitor, verify and report on the situation in Tigray. The objectives should be an immediate and definitive cessation of hostilities; the rapid, unconditional, unfettered and sustained distribution of aid to all areas of Tigray; the complete withdrawal of all external forces and armed groups; a ceasefire agreement that can lead to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Tigray.
Paul Kagame's position on the conflict in Tigray is in line with that of the new US administration. During his confirmation hearing before the Senate, the new US Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Antony Blinken, announced the appointment of a special envoy for the Horn of Africa region. The objective being for the United States to be more active on issues like that of Tigray.
"There must be better access to the [Tigray] region, more responsibilities, a restoration of communication, humanitarian aid, and an effort to establish a dialogue to solve key problems," he said.
While the federal authorities in Ethiopia have always opposed the involvement of the international community in the resolution of the conflict in Tigray and have remained deaf to calls for dialogue with the TPLF (the former ruling party in this regional state), the voice of Paul Kagame who is the head of a country that experienced genocide in 1994 and which still retains the after-effects, could count to achieve a pacification of tensions in this regional state.

Mineralogy is a subject of geology specializing in the scientific study of chemistry, crystal structure, and physical (including optical) properties of minerals. Specific studies within mineralogy include the processes of mineral origin and formation, classification of minerals, their geographical distribution, as well as their utilization.
Early writing on mineralogy, especially on gemstones, comes from ancient De re metallica (On Metals, 1556) and De Natura Fossilium (On the Nature of Rocks, 1546) which begin the scientific approach to the subject. Systematic scientific studies of minerals and rocks developed in post-Renaissance Europe. The modern study of mineralogy was founded on the principles of crystallography (the origins of geometric crystallography, itself, can be traced back to the mineralogy practiced in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) and to the microscopic study of rock sections with the invention of the microscope in the 17th century.
Chalcocite, a copper ore mineral.
Historically, mineralogy was heavily concerned with 4,000 species of mineral recognized by the IMA. Of these, perhaps 150 can be called "common," another 50 are "occasional," and the rest are "rare" to "extremely rare."
More recently, driven by advances in experimental technique (such as solid-state physics. It, however, retains a focus on the crystal structures commonly encountered in rock-forming minerals (such as the perovskites, clay minerals and framework silicates). In particular, the field has made great advances in the understanding of the relationship between the atomic-scale structure of minerals and their function; in nature, prominent examples would be accurate measurement and prediction of the elastic properties of minerals, which has led to new insight into seismological behaviour of rocks and depth-related discontinuities in seismograms of the Earth's mantle. To this end, in their focus on the connection between atomic-scale phenomena and macroscopic properties, the mineral sciences (as they are now commonly known) display perhaps more of an overlap with materials science than any other discipline.
Chemical mineralogy focuses on the chemical composition of minerals in order to identify, classify, and categorize them, as well as a means to find beneficial uses from them. There are a few minerals which are classified as whole elements, including sulfur, copper, silver, and gold, yet the vast majority of minerals are chemical compounds, some more complex than others. In terms of major chemical divisions of minerals, most are placed within the isomorphous groups, which are based on analogous chemical composition and similar crystal forms. A good example of isomorphism classification would be the calcite group, containing the minerals calcite, magnesite, siderite, rhodochrosite, and smithsonite.
Biomineralogy is a cross-over field between mineralogy, paleontology and biology. It is the study of how plants and animals stabilize minerals under biological control, and the sequencing of mineral replacement of those minerals after deposition. It uses techniques from chemical mineralogy, especially isotopic studies, to determine such things as growth forms in living plants and animals as well as things like the original mineral content of fossils.
Optical mineralogy is a specific focus of mineralogy that applies sources of light as a means to identify and classify minerals. All minerals which are not part of the cubic system are double refracting, where ordinary light passing through them is broken up into two plane polarized rays that travel at different velocities and refracted at different angles. Mineral substances belonging to the cubic system contain only one index of refraction. Hexagonal and tetragonal mineral substances have two indices, while orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic substances have three indices of refraction. With opaque ore minerals, reflected light from a microscope is needed for identification.
X-rays are used to determine the atomic arrangements of minerals and so to identify and classify them. The arrangements of atoms define the crystal structures of the minerals. Some very fine-grained minerals, such as clays, commonly can be identified most readily by their crystal structures. The structure of a mineral also offers a precise way of establishing isomorphism. With knowledge of atomic arrangements and compositions, one may deduce why minerals have specific physical properties, and one may calculate how those properties change with pressure and temperature.
The environments of mineral formation and growth are highly varied, ranging from slow crystallization at the high temperatures and pressures of igneous melts deep within the Earth's crust to the low temperature precipitation from a saline brine at the Earth's surface.
formation by oxidation and weathering of rocks exposed to the atmosphere or within the soil environment.
Determinative mineralogy is the actual scientific process of identifying minerals, through data gathering and conclusion. When new minerals are discovered, a standard procedure of scientific analysis is followed, including measures to identify a mineral's formula, its crystallographic data, its optical data, as well as the general physical attributes determined and listed.
Minerals are essential to various needs within human society, such as minerals used as ores for essential components of metal products used in various commodities and machinery, essential components to building materials such as limestone, marble, granite, gravel, glass, plaster, cement, etc. Minerals are also used in fertilizers to enrich the growth of agricultural crops.
Mineral collecting is also a recreational study and collection hobby, with clubs and societies representing the field. Museums, such as the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the Natural History Museum, London, and the private Mim Mineral Museum in Beirut, Lebanon, have popular collections of mineral specimens on permanent display.

Background: Empathy is just as relevant within dentistry, although research is limited in this field and very less is available in the current literature. The demonstration of empathy by dentists has been correlated with decreased dental fear. The authors systematically reviewed the literature to investigate empathy levels among dental students. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken concerning dental students' empathy, published from November 2016 to June 2018, using manual methods and the PubMed, PMC, PsycINFO, and other databases. Articles not in English and not concerned with dentistry were excluded, and intervention studies intended to enhance empathy, opinion articles, and reviews or reports of nonoriginal research were excluded. Eligible studies were those published from January 1, 2005, to May 31, 2017, in English language. A total of 34 full-text articles were obtained and assessed. Of these 34 papers, only seven publications were considered to have met the inclusion criteria and were directly related to the aim of literature search. Results: Only seven articles that provided data and evidence describing empathy among dental students were included. Four studies reported that the difference in mean empathy level across the year of study was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and one reported that there was no significant difference in empathy scores between the year levels of study. Three articles reported that males had higher mean empathy score than females, whereas vice versa was found in the remaining four articles. Conclusion: This article demonstrates that there is only a limited evidence to provide the understanding of empathy among dental students. The results indicated that as patient exposure increases, the empathy level decreases among dental students. Furthermore, it is observed that education in behavioral sciences may be effective in increasing self-reported empathy, and further training may be necessary to maintain high levels.

A group of passionate artists want to do something for those who do not have the opportunity to enjoy creativity. How can we let them share and enjoy our talents?
We would like to give children an unforgettable creative experience.
Right where they live often under traumatic conditions.
IT DID NOT STOP WITH DREAMING ABOUT IT.
Wil van der Weele started the organisation in december 2001.
The artists packed their bags. Collected paint, brushes, paper and all kinds of materials to set out for the first project in Romania.
We worked with, poor, sick, abused children, streetkids , orphans, warvictims.
Local staff was thrilled when they saw the activities. As a result they organized new projects themselves.
Through different contacts like World Vision, Ywam, Warchild, SOS, Save the children and individual churches and initiatives, we received invitations to come.
For instance in the project "SKY AFTER THE RAIN" with aids orphans in Thailand.
Ex child soldiers in the shelters and refugee camps in Northern Uganda.
Kids living in the townships of Cape Town.
Time after time it is so special to be able to work with kids so intensely.
We work and play with them and try to build up their self- esteem. Help them to trust again.
Bringing hope and expectation through creativity.
It is not about the artwork itself. The process is more important than the result.
It is fantastic to see what kids can create with a little guidance and stimulation.
Art for All wants to face that challenge head on. No competition, but experiencing fun together.
The Art for All team members do not consider themselves therapists, but know that the specific things they do are very therapeutic. A staff member of the rehabilitation center in Uganda said:" We never expected the girls to participate that much. They do not like painting and drawing.
The art work made by the children is for them. It is not being sold.
The projects take about 3 weeks. We always end with a big parade. A procession with music, happy and proud children. Lots of color, self made flags, banners with the VILLAGE OF THEIR DREAMS. The parade is often an inspiration for the entire community.
World wide the foundation Art for All wants to be the translation of the heart of God. With laughter, joy and inspiration, kindle new hope to be able to face the next day for young and old. In a practical and creative way we try to help turn the tide in broken and desperate lives. The Creator is our source of inspiration.

If you visited the Adirondacks in recent years you were likely overwhelmed by the crowds.
Perhaps you planned on hiking one of the 46 high peaks -- such as Marcy and Colden – or even lesser mountains elsewhere in the Park (like Bald/Rondaxe) and quickly realized that everyone and his brother had the same idea. It's not uncommon in the summer to see cars overflowing from designated parking areas and lining the roads for sometimes hundreds of yards.
You might have turned around and searched out trails less traveled or maybe you joined the masses on their ascent. If you chose the latter, you were likely taken aback by the throngs on the summit. Each one of those cars likely held a family or a group of friends, meaning dozens, and sometimes hundreds, were tackling the climb at once. It wasn't what you expected going to the Adirondacks -- you went there because you wanted to get away from civilization.
Where are all these people coming from -- haven't we been told that the computers forced everyone indoors and away from Mother Nature?
The opposite has occurred. The power of social media – the shared experience, the photographs, the desire to beat the Joneses – has driven people outdoors to see what their friends saw and do what they did. Every time someone shares on Instagram a picture of the view from say, Mount Haystack, it's incentive to join in the fun.
This is not just anecdotal, not just a feel that things are busy in the wilderness. It's real. In the 10 years ending 2015, foot traffic at Cascade alone more than doubled from 16,000 hikers a year to 33,000. Over that same period, Van Hoevenberg saw a 62 percent increase in hikers – 53,500 people climbed the peak in 2015. Those are just two trails!
Because of that, many areas of the Park -- and the infrastructure and the environment -- are facing serious overuse.
Look at parking. Last fall, in advance of the Columbus Day crush, as a means to curtail dangerous and destructive roadside parking and traffic jams the Department of Environmental Conservation announced that hikers would not be allowed to use the parking areas for Cascade, Porter and Pitchoff Mountains. They were forced to park at Mount Van Hoevenberg which had unsuspecting hikers add another 4 miles round-trip to their hikes.
That was just one weekend, a symptom of a greater crisis. A study found that 35 parking lots in the High Peaks were designed to hold fewer than 1,000 cars yet frequently had more than 2,000 trying to park in them on any given day in the summer.
This surge in hikers has led to an environmental nightmare. The unsuspecting are trampling alpine plants that took decades to restore. Trash and human waste are being left along the trails. Animals are being harassed. Nuisance bears are being trained. The very definition of wilderness has been eroding along with the trails that lead into it.
Not only is the Park itself facing overuse, but so are the men and women who are trying to manage the people, places, plants, and peaks. We have too few forest rangers to handle all of those concerns.
Today, there are 137 forest rangers responsible for 4.9 million acres of DEC-administered lands. Back in 1970, there were 140 forest rangers and only 3.5 million total acres of DEC land. So, over the past half century, the number of forest rangers has slightly declined while the DEC has acquired roughly 30 percent more land and – using the Adirondacks as an example – a few million more users.
In 2012, NYS rangers patrolled 2,600 interior miles on foot in the High Peaks. 4 years later, that number was down by nearly a third. That's because of the lack of manpower and changing conditions. Forest rangers are now required to focus on parking and traffic control and trail clean-up, instead of doing what they were hired to do – that is, protect the environment and the people using it. Too few men and women are able to save the trails and endangered species or educate hikers on where to go, how to dress, and what to look for.
That last part has led to something of a public health crisis. A lot of those Facebook users looking to work their way into the Adirondack 46ers club aren't experienced or competent outdoorspeople. They don't have the right clothing, footwear, shelter, food, or water, which puts them at risk. Somebody has to save them and the overworked rangers are. Rangers completed 62 search-and-rescue incidents in the High Peaks in 2012. By 2016, there were 98. Putting such hard works on so few puts the rangers at risk as well as those they are trying to save.
The rangers and countless Adirondacks organizations have tried hard to get the state to add more rangers. But, it's fallen on deaf ears. Another budget session came and went in Albany and neither Governor Cuomo or DEC Commissioner Seggos saw the need to add to the payroll.
Maybe it's time they heard this message from the rest of the state. Many of us here in Western New York go there with family and friends, so we need to speak up. The Adirondacks belong to all of us. The Park is a public asset that should be enjoyed, safely and naturally. In order for that to happen we need more rangers.

Then along came Bat-Lego-Man, and the joy of adding the word Bat as a prefix to everything was revealed to me. What a wonderful joy it is.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, apart from having one of the most confusing titles I've ever seen, is also just brilliant. There's so much I could say about this movie, and the series as a whole. Its bananas how good they are. Not only in the way they tell a brand new story, but in the way they ape the classics as well. They're masterful at creating empathy not just with the animals but with the human's, who it could be argued are much harder to root for. There's not a wooden actor in sight.

ROMINA POWER and AL BANO - "PELICHITA" FOR TWO
Romina Power and Al Bano sang many love songs. Love is a song for two. If she is happy, then the melody will be lively and fun. But it's worth…
« WALKER IN THE NIGHT. FRANK SINATRA
EDIT PIAF: "HAPPINESS NEEDS TO FLY TLEAS!" »
After receiving a degree at a young age, Joe Dassin could find a well-paid job and enjoy stability. And he chose show business – an eternal challenge, a constant movement, and he liked that very much. He was often told that he had an unusually velvety voice, that he was incredibly talented, but he just liked what he did. I liked that you can not relax and hibernate. "I dream of being back in Moscow again with a concert," said Joe Dassin in the 1980th, in the year of his death. After 30 years, his young beautiful son – Julien Dassin – embodied his father's dream and brought the play "Once upon a time was Joe Dassin" to the capital.
Talent is important
Joseph Dassin was born on November 5, 1938 in New York. His mother – violinist Beatrice Loper, father – Jules Dassin, the famous director. And the grandfather was a Russian émigré who left Odessa, because in America (in any case, he thought so), you only need to bend down to collect full handfuls of gold.
In 1950, the family was forced to leave America. At the time of the initiative of Senator Joseph McCarthy, a real witch-hunt unfolded in America: any left-wing citizen was persecuted. The father of the future singer was suspected of sympathizing with Moscow. singer Joe Dassin "When I was 12 years old, my parents moved to France. They did the right thing, that they did not send me to an American school, but to a French lyceum, thanks to which I speak almost equally two languages, although I speak a little better in English – yet this is my native language. "
In 1955, Joe's parents divorced. The young man was very hard going through family drama and finally decided to return to his homeland, to America, especially since the level of education at American universities in those years was very high. Dassin entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arboe. For some time he was engaged in medicine, however, when it came to animal experiments, Joe realized that he could never become a doctor, and switched to ethnology and the Russian language. To pay for his studies and earn a little pocket money, he tried a lot of professions. On an old pink-colored hearse, he took out trash cans from the women's college, then worked as a truck driver, transporting plants for a botanical garden from Chicago to San Francisco, washing dishes at a university coffee shop.
Joe Dassin's Career Start
In 1963, Joe defended his doctoral thesis. Penniless in the hold of a cargo vessel, he reached Italy. singer Joe Dassin His father invited him as his assistant to the shooting of the film "Tolkari." This fact later allowed some critics to state that it was not known how Joe's career would have been, if he had not been the son of a famous director.
This is how Dassin himself replied to the spiteful critics: "Even if you are a Prince of Wales or president of the French Republic, people are not interested in titles or origin, but in talent — unless, of course, you have it. As for the influence of the father, I do not think that there is at least one person on whom the parents would not have any influence. I also can not say that his example pushed me to become a singer. "
He worked day and night, he was not stubborn in his persistence … And in 1963, Joe was fortunate enough to meet Jacques Pleto. Later, he became the art director of the singer, and together they created several singer Joe Dassin songs that soared to the top lines of music parades on radio stations. Two years later, Joe recorded "Les Dalton" – a disc that became "golden", and the title song was played on all radio stations.
Inspired by Joe, he exclaimed before his first performance in the famous "Olympia": "The stage is a pleasure that bewitches me." Since 1969, there was no place for rest in the life of Dassin. Started a series of continuous touring. It was especially popular in Canada and other French-speaking countries. Records with songs exceeded millions of copies. One by one, songs are born that are now included in the golden fund of the twentieth century. While the French singers performed in America, this calm, discreet American, who came to France to win the hearts of the French in his voice, made an excellent career. His seriousness, commitment to excellence, talent – the main conditions for this success.
The girl from the photo salon
singer Joe Dassin c Christine Delvaux
Joe Dassin turned 38 years old – quite a mature age. The main theme of his songs, with which he made such a brilliant career, was love. But he himself, it seems, has not yet found it. In 1976, Joe was on tour in Rouen. In one of his free days, he went to a photo studio to give a film for development. Clients served a young girl. Joe paid attention to her and, without losing time, invited her to lunch. They liked each other, fell in love and decided not to part anymore. The wedding took place on January 14, 1978, and the bride's name was Christine Delvo.
After the honeymoon, which the couple spent in Los Angeles, Joe began to prepare for work in the studio, quietly learning new songs and expected the appearance of a new man in the world.

Omagiul Prusac sau Tribut (în ), (în ) a fost învestirea formală a lui Albert I al Prusiei ca duce al Poloniei, Ducatul Prusiei fiind feudă a regelui și coroanei Polone.

În urma armistițiului încheiat după Războiul polono-teutonic (1519–1521), Albert, Mare Maestru al Cavalerilor Teutoni și  membru al Casei de Hohenzollern, l-a vizitat Martin Luther în Wittenberg și curând după aceea a devenit simpatizant al protestantismului. Pe 10 aprilie 1525, la două zile după semnarea Tratatului de la Cracovia care a încheiat în mod oficial Războiul polono-teutonic (1519–1521), Albert a demisionat din funcția de Mare Maestru al Cavalerilor Teutoni și a primit titlul de "Duce al Prusiei" de la Sigismund I al Poloniei, în Piața Centrală din Cracovia, capitala poloneză.

Prin înțelegerea încheiată, parțial mediată de Martin Luther, Ducatul Prusiei a devenit primul stat protestant, anticipând Pacea de la Augsburg din 1555. Învestitura Ducatului Prusiei ca fief protestant a însemnat un pas pozitiv pentru Polonia din motive strategice deoarece ca fief catolic al Ordinului teuton, acesta era în mod oficial supus împăratului Sfântului Imperiu Roman și Papalității.

Ca simbol al vasalității, Albert a primit de la regele Poloniei un drapel cu blazonul prusac. Vulturul negru prusac de pe blazon purta pe piept litera S (de la Sigismundus) și o coroană în jurul gâtului ca simbol al supunerii față de Polonia.
