Morning workouts what's the deal?
So why should we get out of bed that little bit earlier and hit the gym? Here are some massive benefits to getting your workout in before you start your day.
It's easier to follow high volume programmes.
Trying to complete a circuit or giant set in a packed gym can be a bit of a chore. But if you're willing to rise and shine before everyone else it makes completing these types of workouts that much easier.
Crucial hormones (e.g testosterone) that can help build muscle mass are at a higher or more optimum level in the morning. Meaning that if you train early you can take advantage of these hormones whilst at their peak.
So the gym may not be your number one priority, but that doesn't mean it should be neglected. It's usually a decision between the gym and how much time you can spend at home. So getting to the gym in the morning leaves you more free time after work.
Exercise can increase your focus on the next activity, due to your body being aroused and for most that activity is work, studying so you should be more alert and focused.
Early in the morning there are fewer distractions, once your up and had a coffee well you're up. Later in the day more things can stop you from getting to the gym, be it motivation, fatigue or wanting to go out with friends. You're far more likely to stay consistent training early and those after work distractions are no longer distractions.
Exercise in general will increase your metabolic rate. However doing so in the morning will automatically set you up for continuing to burn calories throughout the rest of the day.
Don't get me wrong there's no issue with a little social aspect to your training, but with more people around it's easier to waste productive workout time and barely break a sweat. In the early hours fewer people will be in the gym allowing you to get in a well deserved productie training session.
Working out releases endorphin's- these are the feel good hormone, and hey why shouldn't you feel good you've just completed your workout before the day has even begun. So feeling good and positive about your day, is there a better reason to set your alarm an hour earlier.

I haven't done a campaign update in a while. Here's what's going on in my games.
In my (somewhat) weekly Swords and Wizardry game, the players made their way through the wilderness area around the Lost City of Barakus, the lost city itself, and then braved the Ghost Tower of Inverness. I dropped a few hints about White Plume Mountain and the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. After completing the Ghost Tower the group decided to put the campaign on hold.
We picked up our Star Wars Edge of the Empire game, that we had put on hold about a year ago. To kickoff the restarted campaign, I gave them the choice of three jobs: find a lost treasure ship, blow up an Imperial base, or chase rumors of a light saber crystal. They chose the money.
In the monthly DCC game the reavers pushed their way through +Paul Wolfe 's excellent God Seed Awakens. They figured out NOT to open the prison cells and managed to defeat most of the god seed's guardians. Surprisingly, they also befriended the baby dragonling and a sentient ball of goo. When they defeated the god seed, a void in space opened up and the characters found themselves falling......toward a massive purple planet. Sadly, the dragonling was kept back from the final battle so he was not transported along with them. The goo was though.
The Swords and Wizardry monthly game is going strong as well. The characters have reached level four. They making their way through the first dungeon level of the Temple of Elemental Evil. I think we've spent at least 4 sessions there so far. There's a lot left to go. They dispatched the "yucky frog men" but have yet to meet the nasty beast men that I made using the Monster Alphabet.
The characters in my Dark Heresy game are progressing through their last adventure. After we wrap it up, this game will become my Kill Team campaign. I should really finish that before they finish the adventure.


There is no requirement for school to manage and administer medicines but where there is a clear medical need for medicines to be taken during school time the Head or the Head's representative will accept this responsibility.
Medication should only be brought to school when absolutely essential. Often doctor can prescribe in a manner which allows the dose to be taken before and after school.
Where there is an essential need for the medication to be taken during the school day, the following requirements should be met.
1) Parents must fill in the form (available from the receptionist's office; see attachment) which gives details of the medication, the amount to be administered and the timing of such administration.
2) Medicine must be in the container in which it was dispensed and should show the child's name and dosage.
3) Medication should be handed to the Head Teacher/Deputy Headteacher (or First Aider) to be put in the locked cabinet.
4) School will not store quantities of medication and it should therefore be brought to school daily when it is for a short- term condition.
5) Responsibility for collecting the medication at the end of the school day lies with the parent.
6) School will not give children medicines such as aspirin or paracetamol (as this could be seen as prescribing) but if there is an agreement with the parents that they supply, and give permission for the school to administer these this would be allowed.
Pupils with long-term conditions such as asthma, diabetes and allergies must have access to their medicine when required. Details of these children are displayed in the office.
Children who have asthma keep their inhalers with them or they are in a place within the classroom where they can access them.(See Asthma Policy) . All children with inhalers are able to administer the medication themselves but younger children may need supervision. When children have an Epi-pen prescribed, all staff should be aware of these children's needs and be Epi-pen trained. This should be kept in a safe place which is accessible to staff if required.
Teachers must inform supply teachers, or cover staff, of any children in their classes who suffer long-term medical needs and where any medication they may need is stored.
Arrangements need to be made for children who need medication on school trips and visits. Often the children will be able to take the medicine themselves and the teacher needs simply to take responsibility for looking after the medication.
Children with asthma should carry their inhalers with them.
Any child with head lice should not return to school until they have been treated and all lice have been removed. It is parents' responsibility to inform school if their child has head lice. School will then issue notices to parents informing them of an outbreak in school and what action should be taken. In severe cases, school health will be consulted.


Describe: Provide accurate and coherent information that clarifies the nature of the phenomenon.
Explain: Provide accurate and coherent information that clarifies the cause or action within phenomenon providing a claim with evidence and reasoning.
Evience may consist of physical principles, equations, calculations, data, graphs, and diagrams. In some cases they may refer to fundamental ideas of relations in physics (such as Newton's Laws, conservation principles, or Bernoulli's Equation). In other cases it may refer to analyzing the behaviour of an equation for large or small values of a variable n the equation.
Calculate: Show work leading to a final answer, which may be algebraic, but more often is numerical.
Derive: A more complex version of calculate. Students must begin from a fundamental equation on the official equation sheet. The final answer is usually algebraic (not a numerical answer, but letters: constants and variables) and requires appropriate use of algebraic manipulation.
What Is/Determine: Indicates showing work need not be explicitly shown to obtain full credit. Often, the answers may be yes or no. Or otherwise binary in nature.
Sketch: Draw a graph that illustrates key trends in a particular relationship, such as slope, curvature, intercepts or asymptotes. Numerical scaling or specific data points rae not required.
Plot: Draw the data points given in the problem on the grid provided, either using the given scale or indicating the scale and units when none are provided.
Draw and Label: Explicitly following requirements to create figures (usually free body diagrams) occuring at specific times (when the car is at the peak of the hill or the moment after the string is cut). Do not add extras not asked for, do not break vectors into components unless asked for, only do what is asked.
Design or Outline: Usually, this is refering to experimental design. Create an orderly, clear and coherent sequence of actions and/or steps in a hypothetical investigation.

Here is a shot I took of a bus at the Isle of Man Airport in 1966, I took it at the same time 1966 as the Isle of Man Road Services Leyland Titan posted two weeks ago. As stated on that post I know very little about buses more a railways man so I will leave it to anyone who wants to comment to do so.
When the Stratford Blue operations were absorbed into the main Midland Red Company in 1971, PMT was able acquire five almost identical Willowbrook bodied Tiger Cubs to the one pictured here. Four were DP, one was bus seated. Originally Stratford Blue 41-45 (2741-2745 AC) they were new in 1959. They were a bit slow compared with the PMTs own AEC Reliance 470s but performed useful work on some of the flatter routes from Stoke and Newcastle Depots and they didn't suffer from frequent cylinder head gasket failures! The Albion designed five speed constant mesh gearbox was quite a nice unit to handle – but then I didn't have to work them on One Man Operation for a shift!
Yes, Ian, interesting point you make. Despite a general superiority, the AECs had an Achilles heel – the wet-liner engine (AH470 and AH590). Leyland produced two mainstream engines, the 0.600 and the Leyland Comet engine which progressed from 0.350 to 0.375 to 0.400. The Comet engine was small, underpowered and noisy but did it's job reliably. Regulars know my predilection for AECs but also my, not quite equal, admiration of Leyland (Motors). The wet-liners did a lot of harm to AEC's erstwhile superb reputation and allowed the Leopard to subsequently overtake them in the market.
'Not knowing anything about buses' in my opinion isn't a good enough reason for not showing an internal shot of such a classic vehicle.
Don't come much better than all Leyland PD2s, but can anyone explain why Isle of Man always had these peculiar off balance upper deck ventilators (ONLY on the near-side)?
I never understood that either, but it did make the IOMRS fleet rather distinctive. (I have a feeling I have seen a photo of a similarly equipped PD2 with another operator, but I can't remember where or with whom). Very nice to see that tidy interior shot too. It reminds me of Barton's second hand no. 754 (GUT 455) ex-Allens, Mountsorrel, which operated regularly in the early 60s on our route 15 (Ilkeston – Long Eaton – Sawley).
Widnes Corporation used the same arrangement which I can only assume was to give upper-deck passengers a choice of the fresh-air treatment by sitting on the nearside or for the more delicate a chance to keep out of the draught by sitting on the offside.
I don't recall the arrangement being used by any other operators and it certainly spoiled the appearance of the vehicles.
I would be interested to learn if my assumption is correct.
Just clutching at straws, but I wonder if the odd window arrangement could possibly be to avoid a direct "wind tunnel" effect from the offside windscreen and down the staircase, to escape from the platform.
Having lived in Widnes in the 70s, Widnes Corporation were not doing their passengers any favours with all the chemical factories in the area!
As far as I know it was to do with cost – IoMRS were not known for spending anymore than was absolutely necessary, the same window arrangement continued right through until the last new d/d purchases in 1964, a one pane window was cheaper than an opening hopper or slider. Equally saloon heaters were largely not provided, nor were grabrails. Whilst I can't just recall the grabrail specification on the PD2 shown, other than what is visible on the image, the 1964 batch of PD3s had head height rails only installed above the two lower deck side seats, whilst the sole upright rail, other than on the platform area, was at the top of the stairs. No other grabrails were fitted, which meant conducting – or alighting – the bus whilst on the move err…interesting.
I remember the arrival of this and its 17 sisters in 1949, and worked on them as a seasonal conductor 1958-61. I can confirm the Company sought economy in everything; none of its buses had direction indicators, relying instead on a white band on the right sleeve of drivers' uniforms when stuck out of the cab window. Drivers claimed that when Leyland staff received an order for buses "without this, without that or the other" they would say "It's that b***** IOM Road Services again". Due to lack of grab rails, on a lively journey I used to press the flat of my hand against the ceiling to keep upright.
Nice to see this pic. I'm currently working on similar bus KMN 501 but will restoring it as Liverpool L428 JKB 580.
North Western was another all Leyland PD2 operator with the same ventilation arrangement. The standard Colin Bailey body throughout its life and various modifications was offered as standard with solid front upper deck windows, the opening vents could be specified as an extra. Many operators bought the standard package but some quickly received complaints of lack of ventilation, especially in the summer when tobacco smoke would add to warmth and the side window ventilators removed little of the fug. They then retrofitted one or two vents.
North Western's examples were lowbridge bodies which made the problem worse and they quickly fitted a nearside vent window, in their case the reason for the location being the offside was occupied by the gangway.


Olde South Crossing, a Landmark Homes community of single-family homes in Lebanon County's South Annville Township, has something for everyone. It's within walking distance of historic downtown Annville, with its restaurants, shops, the Allen Theatre and Lebanon Valley College. It's an easy commute to just about anywhere, from Hershey to Mount Gretna to Lancaster. It offers the feel of country living, with its surrounding farmland, walking trails, common areas and generous open space between lots.
"It's a very beautiful community," says community sales manager Bani Gbadyu. And now, Olde South Crossing just got more affordable, with home prices dropping $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the model, Gbadyu says.
For those looking to custom build, Olde South Crossing has 20 floor plans, both one- and two-story models, including some with first-floor master suites. With its first phase nearing completion and a second phase set to begin in late spring, the community will eventually have a total of 100 homes. There are only six lots remaining in the first phase, but buyers who want to move in sooner have a number of options, including a one-story, quick move-in home, a two-story currently under construction, and the model, an award-winning showpiece loaded with upgrades.
The move-in-ready Preston features three bedrooms, including a private owner's suite, as well as a flex room that can serve as a fourth bedroom, study or living room. The open floor plan includes a spacious kitchen with breakfast bar/island overlooking a great room featuring a cozy gas fireplace with stone surround. The adjoining dining area opens to a backyard patio. At 1,866 square feet, the Preston is priced at $287,400.
Also move-in ready is the model home, an Ellington honored as best of show in its division at this year's Parade of Homes. The home has more than 3,500 square feet of living space, including four bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths. Like all Parade of Homes entries, the Ellington includes many design upgrades, from the stone accent wall in the kitchen to the angled gas fireplace in the owner's suite. The kitchen has a pantry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and crown molding on the cabinetry. A butler's pantry leads to the formal dining room, which has a coffered ceiling and Craftsman-style wainscoting. A floor-to-ceiling dry stack stone fireplace is the centerpiece of the family room. The first floor also includes a formal living room, a study with built-in window seat and bookshelves, a powder room, and a mudroom entry off the two-car side garage. An angled stairway leads from the kitchen to the second floor and a raised rec room. In addition to the owner's suite, the second floor also includes three more bedrooms — two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a third with a private full bath of its own — as well as the laundry room.
A third home, the Bainbridge, is scheduled for completion in February. That home will include three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a finished bonus room. The first floor will feature a kitchen with breakfast nook, living room, dining room, family room with gas fireplace, and mudroom entry off the two-car side garage. At just over 2,300 square feet, the Bainbridge is priced at $288,700.
Olde South Crossing is in the Annville-Cleona School District. It is conveniently located across the street from the Annville-Cleona Secondary School campus and just minutes from Annville Elementary School. The neighborhood has natural gas and public sewer and water. The homeowner's fee is $35 per month.
Model home hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Directions from Lancaster: From Route 322 West, travel north on Route 934. Turn left on Louser Road and follow signs to model home.


Should This Tech Giant Really Want to Become the Biggest Stock in the Market?
A new stock has just taken the No. 2 spot, but overtaking Apple might be a bad idea. Here's why.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) includes 500 of the largest stocks in the U.S. market, but there's a huge disparity between the smallest stocks in the index and the largest ones. Recently, online-search giant Google (GOOG) has seen its share-price soar, and the stock's market capitalization briefly overtook that of oil behemoth ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) during Friday's trading before falling back somewhat. Yet even though investors would likely applaud the roughly 17% profit they could earn if Google continued growing enough to overtake top-ranked Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the fact is that reigns atop the S&P throne have historically given way to some dramatic falls. Could Google be next?
The problem that companies have with getting big is that investors expect them to stay big. But as it turns out, that's surprisingly difficult to do. In the history of the stock market, six companies have managed to hit the half-trillion-dollar mark in market capitalization, with three of them being tech stocks.
Even though Apple remains in the top spot, its market cap is well off its highs. In late 2012, the company was worth about $650 billion, but even after an impressive bounce from last year's lows, its market cap is roughly 30% below that level.
That might sound like a substantial drop, but it's nothing compared to other past tech high-flyers. In 2000, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) briefly topped $500 billion in market cap, as its almost-unchallenged dominance of the PC industry pointed to a rich future. Now, it stands more than three-quarters below that level, as the rise of the mobile revolution has threatened to slaughter its cash cow and leave it trying to sell obsolete technology. Microsoft (MSFT) has lost about half its market cap since its peak value of $613 billion in late 1999.
Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) has had an even bigger fall from grace. Having been the biggest company in the market briefly in sporting a $550 billion market cap 14 years ago, the networking giant promised to take full advantage of the Internet's rise. Yet the tech bust left the stock particularly hard hit, and now, a nearly 80% drop in market cap reflects concerns that smaller competitors have already dislodged Cisco from the leadership role in the networking industry.
Yet technology stocks aren't the only ones to suffer from leadership anxiety. General Electric (NYSE:GE) took over the top-stock role in late 2000, almost hitting $600 billion in market cap. One financial crisis later, GE sports a market cap almost 60% lower, despite having rebounded sharply in the aftermath of the market meltdown of 2008 and early 2009. Even Exxon is down by about a quarter from its highs, as the oil giant hasn't been able to replicate the success that sent its stock soaring when oil approached $150 per barrel briefly in late 2007.
Obviously, it's premature to talk about Google being the No. 1 stock in the market, since it still has substantial ground to gain on Apple before dethroning the iPhone maker. So far, the online-search company seems to be firing on all cylinders, with recent decisions divesting itself of its Motorola Mobility division, agreeing to a cross-licensing deal with Samsung, and buying some smaller companies to expand its reach in artificial intelligence.
In the end, the only limit to a company's value is its ability to grow profits. Although natural impediments like antitrust law tend to stop many companies from growing beyond a certain point, Google won't automatically be doomed to the same fate as its predecessors even if it does eventually leapfrog Apple to take over the top spot in the market.


April 25, 2016 - Calgary, AB – While some businesses are cutting their community investments and philanthropy during this economic downturn, others, like MAXgreen are continuing their investment into organizations that make our city and society a better place to live.
Adam Jones the founder and CEO has built his window, siding and roofing company – MAXgreen with community and family at its core. Since its inception, he has made the conscious decision to direct a portion of every window, door, roofing, or siding project replaced to charity as well as to plant trees for every project completed.
To date over $115,000 has been directed to local charities ranging from the children's organizations to animal shelters. This year is no different, even in a down economy when people are delaying their spending, MAXgreen is donating $10,000 to three different charities – Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids, Kids Cancer Care Foundation and Kids Up Front, which included a social media campaign garnering $2,000 of those funds towards those charities.
In addition to MAXgreen's corporate contribution, their clients also got involved and through their generosity fifty additional charities across Canada will receive funding this year.
"We believe that all businesses, no matter the size, should feel a duty to give back to their community and the planet. We started with a small idea to give back $10 per window and door, and that has now evolved into over $115,000 in donations and 5,000 trees planted. This allows the charitable organizations that specialize in their field to make the most possible impact, while we focus on what we do best - LEAK-PROOF Homes. For example, for every dollar BB4CK receives they are able to make and deliver a lunch to a child! Everyday 3200 children are fed by BB4CK, and I am very proud that our donation will cover a day's worth of those meals."
The funds raised by MAXgreen are held at the Place2Give Foundation in the maxCOMMUNITY Fund.
The media and special guests are invited to the cheque presentation on Thursday, April 27th – 9:00am at the MAXgreen office - 123, 4999 - 43rd Street SE.
Place2Give Foundation is a registered charity in Canada and the United States. Place2Give.com was developed by Dexterity Ventures Inc. (recently acquired by GoodDoneGreat), a leader in philanthropic automated solutions for Canadian donors.
Since 2010, Place2Give Foundation and Dexterity Ventures Inc. have facilitated over $7.5MM in charitable transactions working with donors, their advisors, and charities across Canada.


VIA Enough is Enough! Amsterdam, Netherlands: On Sunday 28 October, a number of ADM sympathizers squatted a building in the Red-light district; Oudekerksplein 30 in the city center. .
"We are happy to announce that from tomorrow we will reopen our doors and return to normal"Dozens of people have participated in the press conference in the Plaza de la Navarrería to report on the latest developments around the threat of eviction on the Gaztetxe.
After a week with the presence of the provincial police, of secrets, of helicopters flying over the Casco Viejo and crossing statements of the different parties of government and opposition, Maravillas Gaztetxea has announced that it returns to the normality of the neighborhood, opening its doors and resuming its activities.
They have also announced that they are holding a demonstration for the afternoon of August 25 against the threat of eviction.
On Sunday May 27, after a week of occupation, we opened the doors of the new Self-managed Occupied Gymnasium.
The Occupied Health Gym "La Salud" is an old gymnasium in the neighborhood of La Salut de Gràcia, which has been abandoned for the last 5 years. We want it to be an open space in the neighborhood, which will allow us to strengthen the ties of our community. We want the neighbors to feel free to enter, participating in scheduled activities or proposing new ones.


Third grade is the first year of EOGs. To help prepare students, the third grade teachers at Mills Park Elementary teach their students a reading strategy called RACER.
Below is a description of the RACER strategy.
In our recent Home/School Connection survey, there were some questions about the memorization of multiplication facts. We have just started our first unit on multiplication and division. Although fact memorization is helpful because it supports students in solving more challenging problems and ultimately increases the speed in which they solve problems, it should not come first in a study of multiplication.
I believe that understanding should come before memorization. Students should develop a foundation of skills and strategies associated with multiplication before memorizing facts. I remember being in third grade and memorizing my facts because that was the expectation. I cannot tell you when I truly understood that multiplication represented repeated groups.
I work with students to understand multiplication by first relating it to skip counting (1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s) and then repeated addition. These are helpful strategies for solving multiplication. We then move to understanding concrete representations of multiplication as repeated groups by using hands-on materials. After using these concrete representations, we move to more abstract models by drawing pictures and using symbols. Soon, we begin to develop an understanding of multiplication. We move to looking at how multiplication and division are related.
So, what can you do at home to help foster an understanding of multiplication? Involve your child in helping out around the house. For example, if you are setting the table for dinner, ask your child if there are 8 people attending dinner and each person will have 2 pieces of silverware, how many pieces of silverware will be on the table? Or, use money to help. I have 6 dimes. How much money do I have? I like to tie real life problems back to the equation it represents. Six dimes would be represented by 6 x 10 = 60 cents. Tying in these real life scenarios helps students see the real-life usefulness of multiplication and helps them develop a deeper understanding.
Rote memorization can start once students are able to explain what a multiplication equation represents. For example, 2 x 5 means 2 groups of 5 or 5 + 5 or 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 +2 or 5 groups of 2. Below are some great resources for building fact fluency.
Please let me know if you use one of these resources at home and find them useful. Also, let me know if you want even more information.


The buying and selling of companies is big business, and ends up being what defines a company in the grand scheme of things. So how exits and acquisitions are managed is extremely important to companies and their leadership from a business standpoint. However, more often than not, acquisition and exit strategies are very rarely paid the attention they deserve. And yet, a good acquisition and exit strategy is the beacon that every entrepreneur should always set his sights on.
Exits and acquisitions are two sides to a very important gold coin, and while they may be diametric opposites, they share some common ground beginning in the change they bring about in the businesses they involve. This change is significant to both exits and acquisitions, as they could possibly be the undoing of the company. Take for instance the ill-fated merger of AOL and Time Warner. One of the primary reasons for its failure was attributed to ineffective change management of cultural and organizational change. An oft ignored aspect in these dealings is the interest of the employees – the organization's backbone, which is one of the most important aspects of change management. No two company cultures are the same, and this is the main cause of the problems encountered while getting people from different environments to work together.
For me, putting in place the right kind of change management strategy and executing it well is a primary factor when preparing for either an exit or an acquisition. Change management is not signed off on paper as part of these deals, while the other major things are. This is not something for the HR team to just 'figure out' and put ad hoc measures in place for, once a deal has gone through.
Additionally, there are a number of other factors that need to receive their share of attention.
To break it down, begin with examining the decision of why you'd like to go through with the acquisition deal. Based on your answers, you should be able to plan your deal efficiently. Planning an acquisition from early on credits leadership with foresight, and ensures that the business gets the best possible deal. It is the planning process that ensures that the entire affair goes through without any bottlenecks. This process could sometimes span months and even years, and involves preparing all angles. From including changes in internal and external processes, to legal and financial decisions and operational commitments, planning your acquisition strategy well is hugely beneficial, no matter how long or how much money it takes.
Is the market and your business currently ripe for the undertaking?
Do you plan to make a complete exit from the business?
Or would you like to just sell a percentage stake? If so, what percentage and which business units would you like to sell?
Do you still intend to stay associated with your company in the same capacity?
Keep in mind that the terms of the deal are often more important than final valuation, and how much you will earn out of the deal.
I'm sure, I don't have to cover examining the fine print here for acquisitions. The larger picture, however, is to make sure you study every nook and cranny of the business you plan to acquire. Look through every skeleton in the financial closet, and understand the impact it may have on your current business. Examine the debt you are absorbing, if any, and its implications on your financials. By completing your due diligence and factoring in the standard metrics of accrued debt and EBITDA, you will ensure that you maximize the profitability you derive out of an acquisition. Carefully evaluating your options will allow you to make the most informed choices before you proceed.
If needed, involve the experts – investment bankers, tax advisors and attorneys to help you through this phase but never go an inch without being as diligent about your exits as possible. The entire sale can go through without any snafus by simply doing your due diligence, and making sure that you've sorted through your company financials. Make sure all taxes are filed, that there are no outstandings and that you've cleared any hurdles that may hamper the deal from falling through.
Having a proper communication strategy in place when preparing for an acquisition says a lot about a company and its management and leadership. You will most likely have to deal with the media and several stakeholders, so make sure you gear up. This convinces your employees and other key stakeholders of the fact that you are attentive to the business' needs, as well as theirs. Always focus on creating value with your stakeholders. Acquisitions are a time of upheaval for everyone involved, and with their faith and trust at stake, there is absolutely no room to falter.
Communicate transparently and effectively throughout the entire process of exits. Put yourself in the shoes of your workforce: a good portion of the workforce is entering what is likely previously unchartered territory. An effective communication plan can do a world of good in assuaging doubt, distrust and employee concerns. As much as it is prudent to work with your HR team to come up with a good communication strategy, along with a timeline of what needs to be conveyed to whom, and at what time, a lot depends on how your PR handles the external bit. Remember that this is a big chunk of change management, and as much as it is a function of leadership, it needs to happen in a top-down manner.
Never forget what makes companies great – its talent. Make sure you also study the culture of the company you plan to acquire to make sure the workforce is a good cultural fit. Arm yourself with a change timeline and a transition plan, while keeping in mind the new workforce you are inheriting. If possible, even take time out to get to know the workforce of the company.
During an exit, companies and their management often tend to focus so much on the legal and financial details of the acquisition deal, that this bit is often ignored. If you are retaining some share of the company, you may want to restructure your teams, so that you don't end up losing the best and brightest of your talent, in case you plan new entrepreneurial forays.
In summary, always remember that your people are the most important part of these deals. It is imperative to ensure that the entire transition of the deal is smooth sailing for both your people and your company, so that the brand continues to be associated with the same high standards of quality that it always commanded.

Symbolism of a Different Order
General / People / Places / October 29, 2010
As anthropologists ponder the meaning of Charlie Sheen's recent chair-smashing fit at The Plaza, and a course at the University of South Carolina meanders off into the sociology of fame – looking closely at Lady Gaga, nee Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – others elsewhere are delving into a far more intriguing enigma:
Thomas Jefferson's use of symbolism in his entablatures at Monticello, Poplar Forest and the University of Virginia.
"What's he saying with these? I don't think he ever comments on why he used one versus another," said Travis McDonald, director of architectural restoration at Poplar Forest, Jefferson's Palladian retreat near Lynchburg, Va. about the variety of figures there.
"Why mix them up? I'm sort of at a loss," said Bill Beiswanger, director of restoration at Monticello. "They're beautiful forms. But always with Jefferson, it's not what we know now, but what he knew then."
Among the symbols is Apollo, the Roman god of light associated with the sun, and the patriarch of poetry, music and creative arts in general. Then there's Fortuna Virilis, the powerful Roman goddess of manly luck. She stood for the tandems of riches and poverty, pleasure and misfortune, blessings and pain. She was also the protector of cities, and could deliver fertility.
And what of the tiny Putto (In Latin, a putus is a little man) or Amoretto? "They're form merged with the genii of Roman religion, guardian spirits that protected a man's soul during his life, and finally conducted it to heaven," Travis said.
And finally, there's the skull of a bull or ox, which the Romans associated with sacrifice, self-denial and chastity, but which also stood for agriculture, foundation-laying and patience personified.
Jefferson was deliberately mixing and matching symbols of the ancient architectural orders, though not in his public buildings like those at U.Va. But at his private residences, he didn't hesitate.
That's particularly true at his most mature masterpiece, Poplar Forest, which he designed in the shape of an octagon – a form that itself is the symbolic, regenerative link between square and circle, earth and sky, terrestrial and eternal.
"You are right…those of the Baths of Diocletian are all human faces…" he wrote to sculptor William Coffee in New York, who created the icons for his entablatures. "But in my middle room at Poplar Forest I mean to mix the faces and ox-skulls, a fancy I can indulge in my own case, altho in a public work I feel bound to follow authority strictly."
"He felt obligated to explain why he would deviate from the order to Coffee – and even to himself," Bill said.
But there's no evidence that he used them to speak to the ages with them.
"I find it hard to say that Jefferson is talking in true symbolism, and using architecture as a story," he said. "He was looking to the beauty of the form and the ornament of antiquity. We have yet to find him referencing them as symbolism."
Still, they're freighted with meaning that's all too rare in our public discourse up here in 2010.

Q: 'with rollback immediate' not working SQL Server 2012 I am trying to enable service broker with rollback immediate, per this post: Enable SQL Server Broker taking too long time
here's the query:
alter database fooDB set enable_broker with rollback immediate;

However it's giving me the below syntax errors in SQL Server 2012:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near 'immediate'.

How can I do this in SQL Sever 2012?

A: Maybe wrap it in it's own batch with preceding and terminating "GO" will help?
GO
alter database fooDB set enable_broker with rollback immediate;
GO

I just looked at the other post, are you trying to do this on a specific table or scripting is out to run dynamically?

A: The enable_broker option requires an exclusive database lock. There should be no sessions having any locks on the altered DB, and it includes the session you run it in, as well:
use master;

alter database fooDB set enable_broker with rollback immediate;

Arsy-Versy is the life story of a mother and her son Lubos, who turned the world upside down. Lubos escaped the world of people to live symbiotically with nature. He flew away to a planet where only butterflies live – intelligent beings. Lubos invested his life's energy combined with his unbelievable empathy into his amateur photograph and film creations. His greatest fascination with nature was the unique study of bats. He attempted to maximize the understanding between human and animal by expressing his fascination for this upside down being. His biggest support in his wanderings, as well as in all areas of his life, was his mother. Lubos' mother, however, is 70 years old and worries about the future of her son. "What will happen with that kid?" she asks. People who 'knew him' thought Lubos was crazy, but only until they saw the film upside down. Now they feel like the crazy ones!

Elementary Rules of the Detective Story
In 1887, Arthur Conan Doyle unwittingly changed world literature. At the time, he was a struggling doctor, trying to build a practice and make a little money on the side. When his novel, A Study in Scarlet, was published, he launched the modern detective genre and set the standard that mystery stories follow to this day.
Conan Doyle of course had a long, rich career as a mystery writer. He even wrote several stories that debuted in The Saturday Evening Post, including "The End of Devil Hawker," published in 1930.
Click to read "The End of Devil Hawker" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, from the August 23, 1930, issue of the Post.
For those who wish to follow in Conan Doyle's footsteps, in 1920, Ronald Knox wrote these rules for a group of mystery writers to help them avoid plot tricks and clichés.
1. The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow.
2. All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course.
3. Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable.
4. No hitherto undiscovered poisons may be used, nor any appliance which will need a long scientific explanation at the end.
5. No Chinaman must figure in the story.
6. No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right.
7. The detective must not himself commit the crime.
8. The detective must not light on any clues which are not instantly produced for the inspection of the reader.
9. The stupid friend of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind; his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader.
10. Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them.
In 1931, another British mystery writer added a few more rules of "respectable" mystery writing. In "Crime Fiction According to Hoyle," Valentine Williams — another mystery writer — emphasizes that readers want a well-paced plot that is plausible, suspenseful, and finishes with a surprise.

The Parlour Review
Michael O'Loughlin
Marion November 29, 2012 Interviews
I started school in St. Canice's at the age of seven. My future comrade Dermot Bolger sat in the next door classroom, though it would be 10 years before we were formally introduced. Our classrooms looked out at St. Canice's Church. On my way home after school, I used to stop and sit in the back of the Church, reading the pamphlets of the Catholic Truth Society, rehearsing new sins to tell the priest in Confession. I was particularly interested in the Lives of the Saints.
And then one day he wrote out a poem on the board: 'A Vision of Connaught in the 13th Century', by James Clarence Mangan. My ears were already pricked up at the strange sonorities.
I liked my new teacher, Mr O Shaughnessy. He was cool, even though he was from Limerick. He wore desert boots and checked sports jackets and drove a brown Ford Capri. He was enthusiastic about poetry and would painstakingly write out poems on the blackboard in coloured chalks, which we would then have to learn by heart.
We learned poems by Kavanagh, 'In Memory of My Father', 'In Memory of my Mother', and Colum's 'The Old Woman Of The Roads' , and I enjoyed them. And then one day he wrote out a poem on the board: 'A Vision of Connaught in the 13th Century', by James Clarence Mangan. My ears were already pricked up at the strange sonorities. And then he wrote out the first stanza:
I walked entranced
Through a land of Morn;
The sun, with wondrous excess of light,
Shone down and glanced
Over seas of corn
And lustrous gardens aleft and right.
Even in the clime
Of resplendent Spain,
Beams no such sun upon such a land;
But it was the time,
'Twas in the reign,
Of Cáhal Mór of the Wine-red Hand.
I can still remember, as I can remember hardly anything else in my life, the almost sexual thrill those words occasioned. Sexual in the sense of something which lived in the spiritual realm being experienced through the senses. In particular, it was the phrase 'wondrous excess of light', I wanted to rush out of the room and walk up and down the empty daytime streets repeating the words to myself, for the pure pleasure of it. Why did they have that charge for me? I liked the hot s sounds, but there was more to it. The phrase 'wondrous excess of light' evoked a visual image in my mind. I could see that light. And yet, I knew it was a light that could not be expressed in the same way in a picture or photograph, nor could it be found in the natural light of day. The light lived in the sounds. The excitement this magic of language evoked in me would never be equalled. It was a physical thing, on my tongue, tingling in my blood, sizzling in the ears, and it was also something which lived elsewhere in the gap between sound and meaning, between word and image. I knew then, though I know it is impossible to have known this, that I would spend the rest of my life exploring that gap, padding through the olive groves of Catalonia and chasing it along the frozen canals of Amsterdam, sensing it in the silences of Paul Celan and the angelic choruses of Rilke. But most of all in myself, in the zone where the secret meshing of sound and meaning occur, and which once we find, we can never find again until we do.

Beyond Reggae: The Traveler's Guide to Caribbean Music

When travelers think of Caribbean music, in more instances than not, they think "reggae." This isn't surprising considering that reggae music – a bass and drum-driven style of music that follows steady beats and an "island vibe" – originated in the Caribbean, Jamaica specifically, in the 1960s. Reggae certainly is the soundtrack to many a Caribbean vacation; however, the island music scene extends far beyond Bob Marley and incorporates a variety of genres, even including rock, jazz, and blues.
Calypso and Steel Pan

Calypso music's history traces all the way back to the 1700s and continues to be seen as a way of projecting the voice of African, French, and Caribbean peoples around the world. The Calypso style of music incorporates many different instruments as well as vocals to create a harmonized melody, with soulful intonations similar to those of the African spirituals sung during the days of African slavery. In fact, Calypso music has always been identified as the music of the oppressed – in the 18th century, it was performed by the slaves of French planters in the French Antilles.
Today, Calypso music is praised and loved for combining spiritual elements with familiar Caribbean instruments such as bongos, Spanish guitar, bottle/spoon, maracas, and trumpets, as well as bands that perform calypso music on drums traditionally made from steel oil drums – thus the name, "Steelpan." Calypso music can be heard all across the Caribbean, from Anguilla to Barbados to Saint Kitts and Nevis, and everywhere in between. Popular Calypso artists include Lord Kitchener, Bunji Garlin, Jolly Boys, Machel Montano, Harry Belafonte, and Wilmoth Houdini, among many other local celebrities and favorites.

Originating in Trinidad and Tobago in the 1970s, Soca music combines funk, soul, and calypso to create a style of music that's both soulful and catchy. Credited with the inspiration for Soca is Trinidadian-native Garfield Blackman, who combined traditional calypso music with Indo-Caribbean music in the 1960s, a fusion that led to the Soca style nearly a decade later.
Soca is characterized by the use of Indian instruments such as the dholak, table, and dhantal (three types of percussion instruments), as well as trombones, trumpets, and of course, Trinidadian lyrics and vocals. Some popular Soca musical groups include El-A-Kru, D'Enforcas, Krosfyah, and Xtatik, all formed on different islands around the Caribbean (including Antigua, Barbados, and Trinidad).

In the mid-1980s, the Zouk style of music was introduced and made popular by the French Antilles band Kassav', sending the quick-paced, Carnival-style music into the Caribbean jam scene, especially in the islands of Guadaloupe and Martinique. The Zouk style of music incorporates a traditional rhythm section of drums and bass with synthesizers and "shakers," making the music more fun, upbeat, and celebratory – after all, "Zouk" means "party" in Creole French, the language predominantly spoken in the French Antilles.
Some other popular Zouk artists aside from Kassav' include Malavoi, Franky Vincent, Perle Lama, and Edith Lefel, though Zouk music is commonly played by local artists throughout the French Antilles, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, and other Caribbean islands.

Salsa, a popular form of music as well as dance, originated in Cuba in the 1970s and gained popularity in Cuban and Puerto Rican expatriate communities in New York. Salsa combines congos, maracas, saxophones, and other instruments to create a fast-paced, quick-stepping style of music and dance that has enjoyed a revival in the last decade with the popularity of Zumba, a type of "dancercise" based on salsa dance moves. A night of salsa dancing in s San Juan nightclub remains an essential part of any visit to Puerto Rico.
Salsa translates to "spice," speaking to music and dance's "spiciness" – quick steps, passionate movements, and an all-around excited feel. With its Latin and Caribbean roots, salsa music and dance a cultural phenomenon, with performers spreading its good-natured fun and rhythm around the world. Some popular salsa artists include La India, Oscar D'Leon, Joe Arroyo, Frankie Ruiz, and Marc Anthony.

When getting your Caribbean groove on, there may be no better place to start than with Dancehall music, a form of high-energy reggae that originated in Jamaica in the 1970s. This style of music is characterized by quick rhythms, synthesizers, and drums, making for a combination of sounds that are guaranteed to get your feet tapping, arms swinging, and head bopping.
Dancehall music is considered a cultural representation for Jamaica, with its fast pace and shifting melodies symbolizing the ever-changing and evolving Jamaican society. For some, Dancehall music is considered radical for its political message and its somewhat uncontrolled rhythms, but no matter where you land on its social significance, one thing in for certain: when the Dancehall beats start bumping, you're going to want to get your dancing shoes on.
Some popular Dancehall artists include Sean Paul, Dawn Penn, Shabba Ranks, Patra, and Chaka Demus and Pliers, many of whom reached the peak of their fame in the mid- to late-1990s. Dancehall and traditional reggae influences can also be found in the music of pop star (and Barbados native) Rihanna, particularly in songs like "Rude Boy."

Though now highly popular around the world, especially in the United States and British alternative music scenes, ska originated in Jamaica in the 1950s and was the precursor to modern reggae, mashing up elements from American jazz, blues, and traditional Calypso music.
Inspired by the rhythm and blues music scene in the U.S., Jamaican musicians created ska by combining choppy guitar riffs, horns, drums, and sometimes piano, all played at some point in the music in the style of the "skank," an upstroke off-beat. By integrating jazz, blues, calypso, and Caribbean styles of music, these artists created a genre of music that would not only dominate the Caribbean music scene but spread into the U.S. and U.K. music scenes as well, influencing everyone from The Police to Sublime.
Some popular Caribbean ska bands and artists (often also considered reggae musicians) include Jimmy Cliff, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Millie, Count Machuki, the Skatalites, and Jackie Mittoo. International ska bands run from the Beat and the Specials out of the U.K. to Reel Big Fish, Fishbone, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones from the U.S.

Rivalry between Dolphins and Bills use to mean a lot more
September 11th, 2010 Frank Minniti Posted in Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Off the Cuff
Just the utter sight of that logo, the mere uttering of those 2 words sent me running for the nearest vomit bag. I hated the Miami Dolphins more than math class and the end of recess. That sissy teal reminds of a bad color prom dress. Squish the fish, man I love that saying.
But things have changed, and as much as I hate change, it's tough to admit. The height of the Buffalo-Miami rivalry was a different time. Sure I'm excited for the return of the pigskin this week and I'll be rooting like hell for the Bills to send Miami back down to Florida 0-1. But it just doesn't feel like it used. And it hasn't for a while.
Frankly speaking, it's hard to hate these Dolphins. This Miami is a far cry from the one from year's past. It was effortless to hate Don Shula and Dan Marino. Now it actually takes effort to muster dislike for Tony Sparano and Chad Henne. Who are the fans supposed to hate now, Jake Long or Jeff Ireland? Maybe we can all gang up on that guy who foolish enough to wear an earing to practice and then spent the end of practice looking for it.
Unfortunately, Dan Marino isn't walking back on the field Sunday. Don Shula and Jimmy Johnson won't be on the sidelines. Bryan Cox also won't be making an appearance. Indeed, it was the personalities and the fact that both teams usually had a lot to play for that made this rivalry. Everytime the Bills and the Dolphins got together it was a melting pot for great football drama.
These days, it's tough to get this rivalry to a simmer, thanks largerly to the team in red and blue. The Bills have become dysfunctional bottom feeders, a mere pebble in the road in the AFC. In Buffalo, they're rebuilding again, facing the prospects of a long, dreary season. In Miami, they're thinking about getting back to playoffs for the second time in three seasons and playing with the big boys in the AFC.
They used to be so easy to hate. I can remember on more than one occasion Don Shula referring to Marino as a good looking kid. I never understood what looks and football had to do with one another. How Jimmy Johnson's hair was perfectly in place on the sidelines in the Buffalo winds mystified me. And of course, Cox proudly waving his middle fingers in the air was the topper.
It was as though Miami thumbed their noses towards Buffalo, like they had this aura of superiority. Once upon a time they did. For an entire decade, from 1970-79, the Bills went 0-20 against Miami. That streak finally ended on Sept. 17, 1980 with a 17-7 Buffalo victory. Fans rushed the field and tore down the goalposts. Maybe they'll do that again if the Bills ever find a way to beat New England again.
Two years later, in 1983 the Bills finally ended their futility down in the Orange Bowl. The Bills had gone 17 years between victories in Miami, the last one coming way back in 1966. Marino's three touchdowns wouldn't be enough to save Miami. Joe Ferguson tossed five touchdowns and set up Joe Danelo's game winning field goal in overtime, propelling the Bills to a 38-35 victory.
By the late 80's the tide in the rivalry was turning in favor of Buffalo. The Bills swept Miami in 1987 with a thrilling 34-31 overtime win and a 27-0 pounding. How about the 1989 opener down in Miami, capped off with Jim Kelly's unexpected draw followed up with a dive into the endzone on the final play of the game to send the Bills home winners?
Sticking it right to Miami meant just a little something more come playoff time. 1991's snowy shootout in Buffalo saw Buffalo outlast Miami, 44-34. It took over 20 years to have the Kelly vs. Marino showdown, with both future hall of famers throwing three touchdowns each. Two years later, despite what would be horrific Super Bowl appearance No.3, the victory got sweeter with the Bills convincingly bouncing the Dolphins in the conference championship down in Miami, 29-10.
It's hard to believe now the Miami game has been lumped in with all the rest, but that's the world we live in right now. Miami is doing their part. They're on the rise and appear ready to make everyone realize that it's not all about New England and the New York Jets.
Now, it's up to the Bills to fix their own house and make this rivalry relevant again.

In this section you will find information about Belarus. Professional journalists from the independent non-state publication officelife.media (location - Minsk) tell about what is really happening in Belarus. No political accents or ideological attitudes. Only the most important facts so that you understand the essence of what is happening in this corner of Europe.
Belarus is going to start industrial production of Russian vaccine in 2021; the Oxford English Dictionary named the word "Belarusian" among the main words of the year. Belarus, November 23, 2020
The Russian vaccine against COVID-19 will be industrially produced in Belarus in 2021. Belarus still expects $61 million in compensation for the "dirty" Russian oil. One of the EPAM leaders was detained during a Sunday protest. Kazakhstan's BTA Bank may sell its Ukrainian subsidiary to a Belarusian investor. "Belarusian" is one of the words of the year according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Industrial production of the Russian vaccine starts in Belarus in 2021
The agreements of the Belarusian and Russian presidents on the production of the Russian vaccine in Belarus will be implemented by the end of the year. This was confirmed by the Minister of Health of Belarus Dmitry Pinevich.
The "pilot" batch of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V can be produced in Belarus under laboratory conditions by the end of the year. Industrial production is scheduled for 2021.
According to Pinevich, Belarusian enterprises will be able to launch vaccine production quickly, resources for this have already been reserved.
The Sputnik V vaccine, developed in Russia, is currently undergoing the third stage of clinical trials in Belarus. These clinical trials are funded by the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
The Ministry of Health has already announced that at the initial stage it will purchase 100 thousand doses of the Russian vaccine and in the future intends to vaccinate 2 million people inside the country.
In August, Lukashenko announced that Minsk plans to try vaccination with various vaccines developed by other countries. He proposed to Putin to master the production of a Russian vaccine in Belarus based on components from the Russian Federation. The Russian president agreed.
Russia and Belarus have not yet come to a consensus on compensation for the "dirty oil" that entered the Druzhba pipeline in April 2019
Having acknowledged responsibility for the shipment of 1.2 million tons of contaminated oil via the Druzhba pipeline in 2019, Russia has already compensated for the losses to companies from Kazakhstan, French Total and Hungarian MOL. However, the issue of payments to Belarus is still not resolved.
According to the calculations of the Belneftekhim concern, the amount of compensation should be about $61 million, which corresponds to $15 per barrel, the maximum level of compensation promised by the Russian Transneft. However, this money has not yet arrived in Belarus due to disagreements between the parties regarding oil and gas supplies.
In July 2019, Transneft approved the maximum amount of payments to shippers due to oil contamination in the Druzhba pipeline at $15 per barrel of dirty oil. Shippers were required to document the losses incurred. In February 2020, the deputy chairman of Belneftekhim, Vladimir Sizov, said that Moscow and Minsk had signed a compensation protocol, which dealt with the amount of payments of $15 per barrel.
It was also reported that Transneft agreed on the amount of compensation to the Mozyr Oil Refinery for the supply of "dirty" oil.
The chairman of Belneftekhim, Andrei Rybakov, stated that after the completion of cleaning the Druzhba pipeline from oil contaminated by organochlorine, the losses of Belarus in the amount of 1.2 million tons of contaminated oil were compensated.
One of the EPAM executives arrested on Sunday
Igor Ovsyanik, one of the leaders of EPAM, a resident of the High Technologies Park, ended up in a temporary detention center on Okrestin Street, where protesters are being held. His name was found on the list of detainees on November 22, published by the unregistered human rights center Viasna.
The information about the arrest of the EPAM employee was confirmed by his wife. She doesn't know if the detention is related to his participation in the Sunday protest.
Igor Ovsyanik is Senior Director, Special Projects at EPAM Systems. He has been working at the company for over 21 years, managed the Belarusian office and managed personnel in some foreign offices. Recently, he has been integrating new divisions, managing projects in Vietnam, India, China, Mexico, the Netherlands.
Senior Vice President of EPAM Maxim Bogretsov became a member of the Coordination Council, created by ex-presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to overcome the political crisis after the presidential election.
BTA Bank may sell its Ukrainian subsidiary to a Belarusian investor
The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine has granted permission to a Belarusian citizen to acquire shares in the Ukrainian BTA BANK JSC (Kiev).

"Belarusian" is one of the words of the year according to the Oxford English Dictionary
The Oxford English Dictionary was unable to pick one main word for 2020. This year, the experts stated the phenomenal breadth of language changes. The English language had to adapt repeatedly to the events that took place, so the campaign for choosing the word of the year is different from previous ones.
As a result of language monitoring, Oxford English Dictionary lexicographers analyzed the topics that were in the spotlight in 2020, political and economic volatility, social activity, the introduction of new technologies and behavior patterns, etc.
The experts named several main words of this year. It is noteworthy that they included the word "Belarusian" associated with the controversial presidential elections and the subsequent protests in Belarus.
Words of 2020 also include coronavirus, COVID-19, lockdown, social distancing and reopening. "Bushfire" is also on the list in connection with the fires in Australia earlier in the year, and "impeachment" in connection with the attempted ouster of US President Donald Trump by the US Congress.
In 2019, the Oxford English Dictionary named "climate emergency" the word of the year.
