Content Management Systems (CMS) provide the easiest ways to handle data; which can be processed Online or Offline.
Offline Data processing systems or 'static site generators' use a pre-defined set of templates to produce web pages, whereas online processing systems may generate an HTML.
The explanation above might be too technical to fathom, and rightly we need a better delineation to understand the basics of CMS. Let us do that now.
Many businesses today create their websites and maintain blogs, press releases, while some outsource the same. The result being the same; content is uploaded on the internet.
A website contains everything one needs to know about the company, from the day it started to the most recent updates about the company. Products, services, catalogs, brochures, News, etc are all available on the website today.
Uploading information, editing, and modifying even, is what a Content Management System does.
Let us take for an e.g. a company who has an online catalog for its product line and services. The catalog is a year old, and there have been changes and upgrades in a few products, with respect to the availability, specifications like color and dimensions, functions, industry focus, etc.
How do the company updates this info? Call the website developer and tell him/her to write specific code again? Practically it is possible but is it feasible? Of course not, and It would be tedious and time consuming, as well.
Content management system software is used in such scenarios. The software generally has a simple interface and is easy to understand. Product updates, logos, pictures, and content editing are some of the functions that are performed quickly and efficiently with the help of CMS.
The usage of CMS is not limited to editing, but it also has features like, creating automated templates, installing plug-ins or modules to enhance site functionality, displaying content in multiple languages, generating navigation elements, keeping track of users, permissions, and security settings.
Having such rich features, CMS has a high cost of implementation and maintenance. Larger CMSs may experience latency issues if the infrastructure is not updated regularly and also, the area of implementation has to be taken into consideration.
Opting for a CMS primarily depends on the size of the organization and its geographical stretch. However, in the WWW there are many other ready-made CMS platform that can give you the high facility & feature, among those platform below are the TOP three which widely used.
People liked this platform Because of easily accessible. The strength part is it will quickly and easily installed, the developer community & vast array of plugins.
Behind successful website Joomla play tremendous role, and reason for this is simple – Tremendously customizable & Match with your all users' expectation.
The first choice of developer, A Most popular open source platform because of functionality & security.
WHEN IT COMES TO WEBSITE DESIGNING, WHAT IS SUITABLE FOR MY WEBSITE, WORD PRESS OR JOOMLA?
CAN WEB DESIGNING BE THE LAST SOURCE TO SELL PRODUCTS?

By Christopher Simmons Art September 11, 2013
Woody Allen and Steve Martin are two of my favorite comedians. Though very different from each other, they share interests in music (jazz and bluegrass, respectively), slapstick, and art. On this latter interest, Martin is an informed, passionate advocate. His novel, Object of Beauty, satirizes the business of art (and the business of collecting art) while his play, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, uses an imagined dialogue between Picasso and Einstein (and others) to examine the nature of creativity, "genius", and inspiration. Martin is himself a collector (Lichtenstein, Picasso, Hockney, Hopper, Ruscha) and occasional critic.
Allen, on the other hand, is less visually sympathetic. While he idealizes writers, singers, musicians and filmmakers in his work, artists and art lovers are harder to come by. That is, unless they're being lampooned scenes like the one above from Play it Again, Sam. There are also some very funny scenes in Sleeper in which Allen's character attempts to negotiate a modern chair, and Hannah and Her Sisters in which a temperamental artist (Max Von Sydow) berates a nouveau-riche collector exclaiming, "I don't sell my painting by the yard!".
Regardless of their differences, these two scenes are a couple of my favorite comedy bits to engage art criticism (not that there are many from which to choose). Both employ elaborate setup dialogue to deliver a simple, devastating punchline. Allen's is characteristically existentialist. Martin's, exquisitely absurdist.

A few years ago, reportage of the Chennai police department exposing a series of idol thefts planted an idea in the mind of journalist Divya Kumar. That transformed her into a debutante author with The Shrine of Death, a racy crime-thriller novel on the idol theft theme, set in Chennai.
At the launch of her book on Friday, Ms. Kumar, spoke of how much she enjoyed writing about places like Kamarajar Salai and T. Nagar.
"I grew up in the Middle East and went on to study in the U.S. But during my stint as a journalist with The Hindu for six years, I got to know the city well. Chennai is not getting featured enough [in mainstream popular fiction]. There is too much of Mumbai and Delhi; we need more of Chennai," she said.
In conversation with novelist and playwright Shreekumar Varma, she reminisced about her time with The Hindu and said the job was a fascinating one indeed, giving her opportunities to meet different people and taking her several places.
"It was like learning from the best laboratory. It helped me go from I-want-to-be-a-writer to being a writer," she added.
Mukund Padmanabhan, Editor, The Hindu, who launched the book, said, Ms. Kumar lent a certain positivity when she had worked in the paper.
The original article appeared here in The Hindu.
Divya Kumar wrote her first story at the age of five, about a fish and a tortoise who were friends. "I think my mother still has it saved somewhere," she smiles in reminiscence, before moving on to discuss her first published crime thriller, soon to be turned into a trilogy.
"I started reading up online, and found that there are other such cases, and such stories, and it's clearly something difficult and traumatising. Of course, it's a bit in the realm of clairvoyance and telepathy – more pseudo-science, really — but it gave the character an interesting psychological profile." It intrigued her, she says, how such a person would respond in everyday life and how they would be misunderstood by others.
The balancing act between the plot and the interplay of characters' relationships kept her on her toes, she says. It wasn't even remotely a seamless process when she first sat to write, "There are three key characters: at points, I would be intensely driven by them and I'd write and rewrite their interactions. At other points, I would work very intensely on the plot. That was very different, because the plot was like writing code. You know, when you hit a bug, and you have to rework that…,"the former Computer Science students breaks off with a frustrated shrug.
The trilogy was not something she had intended, or even seen coming. Kumar had originally begun writing The Shrine of Death purely for pleasure, as a much-needed "me time" exercise in the midst of a busy life. She didn't even consider getting it published till rave reviews came pouring in from friends and family.
"The process of writing took three and a half years, because it wasn't something I was doing continuously. When I started, my daughter was just a little over a year old, and I was a full-time mom. I was still writing freelance fairly regularly. So, this was something I would do for myself. The story was in my head, so I would often write late in the night after my daughter fell asleep. On weekends, I would leave her with my husband and go write in a coffee shop. It was just something to enjoy creatively," she smiles.

I start my day by rolling and stretching to loosen up. To help me explore different things my teachers are making me a special frame for my chair with different lights, songs and sensory material that can be changed monthly. I enjoy music and respond to it."
"Hello my name is Rivky Benedikt and I am nearly 13 years old. I have been in Aim Habonim since I was very little. I cannot do what other girls my age can do because I was born with Micracephaly, which means a very small head. I cannot talk or walk or eat properly but in school I have learnt to do so many things, like sitting, standing and chewing. I love music and everyone knows that my favourite song is Kodesh Hi Lochem so when I am sad, my teachers put it on to cheer me up! I feel so loved by everyone at Aim Habonim and love going to school every day!"

Seven Development Directions for the Smart ERPs of the Future
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have always been at the heart of the enterprise IT infrastructure. ERP systems enable modern enterprises to create a unified and consistent view of their business processes based on a single technology platform. In this way, ERP systems contribute to integrating and optimizing business processes, while at the same time facilitating the business management in making optimal decisions. For more than twenty years, ERP systems have been evolving in terms of their architecture and functionalities. Early monolithic systems that ran on mainframe computers have been gradually replaced by client-server and later by web-based multi-tier ERP applications. Likewise, modern ERP platforms are offering opportunities for integration with other systems, such as industrial automation platforms and other business information systems like CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and SCM (Supply Chain Management) systems.
Nowadays, the landscape of ERP solutions remains dynamic and constantly evolving. ERP vendors are enhancing their products with novel features in order to keep up with evolving business requirements. Such requirements stem from the need to integrate new technologies (e.g., cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI)), to support new processes (e.g., intelligent asset management and predictive maintenance) and to keep track of trends in employment and work (e.g., mobility trends). The more one understands the main business and market trends, the better he/she can predict the future evolution of ERP systems.

ERP or something else.
1.Deploying ERPs in the Cloud
For nearly a decade, ERP vendors have been developing and releasing cloud-based products. ERP deployments in the cloud benefit from the scalability, flexibility and pay-as-go characteristics of cloud computing. Nevertheless, there are still many on-premise cloud deployments, especially in sectors (e.g., manufacturing) that are quite conservative against the adoption of new IT technologies. In the coming years, the migration of legacy systems in the cloud will be continued and future ERPs will be mostly cloud based.
2.Consumerization and Popularization of ERP Systems
Legacy ERP systems are in many cases based on obsolete technologies and offer old-fashioned interfaces to their users. As users are increasingly getting acquainted with IT technologies and applications, they ask for more intuitive and user-friendly interfaces. This will give rise to the specification and implementation of a range of consumer-oriented features in future ERPs. The latter will provide "look and feel" that resembles modern web applications rather than conventional ERP platforms.
3.Mobility Support
Nowadays, most employees have their smartphone or another mobile device (e.g., tablet) in the workplace. Future ERP systems will be increasingly delivering their key functionalities through mobile apps. Such mobile apps will o provide opportunities for immediate access to ERP data and resources. As a prominent example, mobile apps will enable manufacturing workers to respond in real-time to changes in the production, as well as to cope with quality management and supply chain management issues (e.g., shortage of materials). Moreover, mobile apps will offer employees the option of accessing information (e.g., production schedules and financial information) regardless of time and location. Therefore, the next generation of ERP products will make provisions for supporting mobile workers in accessing resources and solving problems in real-time.
4.Internet-of-Things (IoT) Integration
Modern IoT platforms are collecting and processing field data, as a means of optimizing business processes based on data from the physical world. For example, the deployment of various sensors (e.g., vibration, temperature, acoustic and ultrasonic sensors) on a machine can enable the implementation of condition-based monitoring processes that can significantly improve Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) when compared to legacy preventing maintenance approaches. The implementation of such business processes requires the integration of IoT-based information with ERP data. In the coming years, IoT platforms will become integrated with legacy ERP platforms, in order to increase the accuracy, timeliness, and responsiveness of ERP processes based on real world data. Future ERP platforms will offer APIs for accessing data from sensors and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) (e.g., industrial robots). At the same time, they will offer functionalities that close the loop to the field, such as reconfiguring CPS platforms. Moreover, IoT platforms will provide real-time visibility in warehouses and the supply chain, which will enable ERP vendors to increase the accuracy and the timeliness of their inventory management and logistics processes.
Based on the integration between IoT and ERP platforms, the future ERP will become a centralized point for storing IoT data, while at the same time providing relevant reporting capabilities. The latter will make ERP platforms much more powerful, as they will enable them to provide consolidated, consistent and detailed information in real-time.

5.Voice Platforms
Users are increasingly taking advantage of speech interfaces in their everyday IT tasks, such as searching for information on the web, setting alarms and initiating phone calls in their smartphone. Products like Siri and Google Assistant are gaining popularity and users every day. Such speech interaction capabilities will be soon provided by ERP products as well i.e. future ERP products will enable their users to interact via speech. The ultimate vision will be to turn legacy ERP functionalities (e.g., reporting tools) into powerful personal assistants of the workers and of the business management of the enterprise.
6.Artificial Intelligence Integration
The advent of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) disrupts the ERP market. ERP products are enhanced with data-intensive functionalities that analyze automatically large volumes of data from the shopfloor, including data from heterogeneous sources such as sensors, machines, automation devices, and other business information systems. Such functionalities enhance ERP with a whole range of new AI-based process maps. The latter will include for example processes for machine fault detection and predictive maintenance, as well as data-driven production planning. Moreover, existing ERP processes are enhanced with AI functionalities towards automatically streamlining production with problems or abnormalities detected in other parts of the supply chain. Likewise, financial and accounting functionalities are enhanced with predictive planning features that leverage historical data to enable advanced decision making. Finally, ERP modules are gradually connected with AI functionalities at the shopfloor such as robotic cells. This connection enables robots and other AI systems to have instant access to production schedules and other master data when performing their autonomous operations.
7.Collaborative Features
Enterprises must operate in a globalized environment, which makes collaboration across geographically distributed teams increasingly important. ERP products are therefore enhanced in terms of their collaborative features, such as tools for computer-supported collaborative work and support for interactions through social media. Furthermore, the range of team management features within modern ERP is enhanced to allow managers to create and coordinate distributed teams within and across different departments of the enterprise. Collaborative features include also integration with social media accounts and messaging platforms, as a means of facilitating workers' communications. Such features are expected to be provided not only as part of the human resources management modules of modern ERPs but also as part of other modules involving production planning (e.g., shift allocation) and supply chain management operations.
Overall, legacy ERP systems will gradually evolve in the above-listed directions to help enterprises adopt and fully leverage digital functionalities empowered by technologies like IoT, AI, and cloud computing. These digital capabilities will accordingly drive significant optimizations in production, finance, accounting, materials management, and human resources management processes. The ultimate result will be a considerable increase in the productivity and competitiveness of modern enterprises. Companies must, therefore, keep an eye on the evolution of their ERPs and plan for the deployment and use of value-added features that will elevate their productivity.

Tianjin International Automotive Manufacturing Technology & Equipment Exhibition (hereinafter, CAME) sponsored by Tianjin Zhenwei Exhibition Co., Ltd. will be held on March 15-18, 2018 at Tianjin Meijiang Convention and Exhibition Center.
On Oct. 18, 2017, the 19th National People's Congress of the Communist Party of China opened in the Great Hall of the People. President Xi Jinping, on the behalf of the 18th CPC Central Committee, presented the work report. The whole course of reporting lasted 210 minutes during which President Xi stood at his feet without any rest and uttered more than 32,440 words totally.
Several points mentioned in the report are significant to guide the development of China's automotive manufacturing.
The report supported the upgrading of traditional industries. Representing traditional manufacturing in China at present, the automotive industry is at a critical period of transformation & upgrading, overcapacity cutting. China's economy has shifted from the high-speed growth stage to the high-quality development one and is at a key problems-tackling period of changing the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and switching growth impetus.
To build a modern economic system, the economic development focus must be put on the real economy and improvements in the supply system must be taken as the lead. China shall support the upgrading and optimization of traditional industries, insist on cutting overcapacity, destocking, deleveraging, lowering cost and improving weak links, optimize the allocation of stock resources, expand the high-quality incremental supply, and realize the dynamic balance between demand and supply.
The report emphasized deepening the reform of the investment and financing system and playing the key role of investment in optimizing the supply structure. China shall deepen the reform of the financial system, enhance financial services in the real economy, improve the proportion of direct financing, and promote the sound development of the multilevel capital market.
Automotive manufacturing is a fund-intensive industry. Financing has been always the major problem facing enterprises during their development, and so is the case with private enterprises.
The "Belt and Road Initiative" Construction is the key. By virtue of the "Belt and Road Initiative", China's automotive enterprises have achieved amazing results in the process of "going out". In 2016, 810,000 full vehicles were exported, seeing year-on-year growth of 7.2%.
Countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" are expected to be important areas where China's automotive manufacturing will be exported and invested.
Based on the automotive manufacturing in the north of China, radiating North China and Northeastern China, and facing the demands for purchasing manufacturing equipment of over 10 full vehicle brands like the Great Wall, Chablis, Hyundai, FAW, VW, BAIC, etc. and nearly 1,000 supporting parts enterprises, CAME will show new technologies and products in the whole industrial chain of automotive manufacturing. CAME will adhere to the national macro-policy closely and pay continuous attention to the automotive manufacturing and industrial development trends, so as to build a high-quality platform for exhibitors, thus jointly creating the largest automotive equipment exhibition in the north of China.


According to Facebook's vice president of messaging product David Marcus, the Facebook Messenger app is "too cluttered." We agree. Over the course of 2018, Marcus plans to "invest in massively simplifying and streamlining Messenger." In the spirit of cooperation, we would like to suggest a list of unnecessary features that could be cut from Messenger.
"Waving" at people. This is basically poking for Messenger. Is poking still a thing? If it is, we don't need a second one.
The Games tab. It's already a little weird that there are games in Messenger, but I'm willing to concede that someone's aunt plays them. A whole tab for exploring them is a bit much, though.
Ditto the Chatbots tab. No one is using chatbots.
The "Send or Request Money" feature. At the very least, you can stop highlighting literally every single dollar amount in every message with a link to send or request that much money. I promise, when I say "Jeez the new Tesla is $35,000?!" I'm not about to ask for a 35 grand bank transfer through Facebook.
"Start a plan." I'm torn because this actually seems like a decent idea. If I say "Let's do dinner tomorrow at 8PM," creating a mini event is convenient. On the other hand, the implementation is so half-baked it's hardly worth it. Either beef this up or cut it.
The "M" Assistant. Here's how the smart assistant ranking goes: Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, Cortana, Bixby, whatever Blackberry is still trying to do, then M. The idea of combining a smart AI with human-powered recommendations was a neat concept, but you've already killed that last part. Finish the job and just get rid of M altogether.
The many, many, many GIF search features. I use GIF search on Messenger. I definitely don't use 50 different GIF searches regularly. Maybe this is your attempt to provide an "open" extension platform, but if multiple GIF searches are the best your extension platform has to offer, maybe it should go the way of the Chrome Web Store.
Snapchat. Instagram (which Facebook also owns) and Messenger are both gaining Snapchat features at an alarming—though mostly alarming to Snapchat itself—rate. Personally, I like some of these features, but they're redundant. Maybe pick one platform or the other? I vote Instagram.
We get that the idea behind these features is to keep people inside Messenger as much as possible, but the truth is no one wants to replace other, better apps with some side feature inside a texting app. They want to message their friends without annoying crap popping up in their face. You've already cornered the market by getting everyone on Earth and their mothers on Facebook and making Messenger part of the package. Just let people use it without interruption.

(Linnaeus, 1758)[1][2]
Serinus canarius domesticus[3] Linnaeus 1758, I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1861[4]
The domestic canary, often simply known as the canary (Serinus canaria forma domestica[5]), is a domesticated form of the wild canary, a small songbird in the finch family originating from the Macaronesian Islands (The Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands).
Canaries were first bred in captivity in the 17th century. They were brought over by Spanish sailors to Europe. This bird became expensive and fashionable to breed in courts of Spanish and English kings.[6][7] Monks started breeding them and only sold the males (which sing). This kept the birds in short supply and drove the price up. Eventually, Italians obtained hens and were able to breed the birds. This made them very popular, resulted in many breeds arising, and the birds being bred all over Europe.
The same occurred in England. First the birds were only owned by the rich, but eventually the local citizens started to breed them and, again, they became very popular. Many breeds arose through selective breeding, and they are still very popular today for their voices.
From the eighteenth up to twentieth centuries, canaries and finches were used in the UK, Canada and USA in the coal mining industry, to detect carbon monoxide. In the UK, this practice ceased in 1986.[8]
Typically, the domestic canary is kept as a popular cage and aviary bird. Given proper housing and care, a canary's lifespan ranges from 10 to 15 years.[9]

The birds are named after Spain's Canary Islands, which derive their name from the Latin Insula Canaria (after one of the larger islands, Gran Canaria), meaning "island of dogs", due to its "vast multitudes of dogs of very large size".[10][11]

Varieties[edit]
Canaries are generally divided into three main groups:
Colour-bred canaries (bred for their many colour mutations – Ino, Eumo, Satinette, Bronze, Ivory, Onyx, Mosaic, Brown and red factor etc.)
Type canaries (bred for their shape and conformation – Australian plainhead, Berner, Border, Fife, Gibber Italicus, Gloster, Lancashire, Raza Española, Yorkshire, etc.)
Song canaries (bred for their unique and specific song patterns – Spanish Timbrado, German Roller (also known as Harz Roller), Waterslager (also known as "Malinois"), American Singer, Russian Singer, Persian Singer).
While wild canaries are a yellowish-green colour, domestic canaries have been selectively bred for a wide variety of colours, such as yellow, orange, brown, black, white, and red. (The colour red was introduced to the domesticated canary through hybridisation with the red siskin, a type of South American finch.[12])
Competitions[edit]
Canaries are judged in competitions following the annual molt in the summer.[13] This means that in the Northern Hemisphere the show season generally begins in October or November and runs through December or January. Birds can only be shown by the persons who raised them. A show bird must have a unique band on its leg indicating the year of birth, the band number, and the club to which the breeder belongs.
There are many canary shows all over the world. The world show (C.O.M. - Confederation Ornithologique Mondiale) is held in Europe each year and attracts thousands of breeders. As many as 20,000 birds are brought together for this competition.
Miner's canary[edit]
Canaries were once regularly used in coal mining as an early warning system.[14] Toxic gases such as carbon monoxide or asphyxiant gases such as methane[15] in the mine would kill the bird before affecting the miners. Signs of distress from the bird indicated to the miners that conditions were unsafe. The use of miners' canaries in British mines was phased out in 1986.[16]
The phrase "canary in a coal mine" is frequently used to refer to a person or thing which serves as an early warning of a coming crisis. By analogy, the term "climate canary" is used to refer to a species that is affected by an environmental danger prior to other species, thus serving as an early warning system for the other species with regard to the danger.[17] (See indicator species.)
Use in research[edit]
Canaries have been extensively used in research to study neurogenesis, or the birth of new neurons in the adult brain, and also for basic research in order to understand how songbirds encode and produce song. Thus, canaries have served as model species for discovering how the vertebrate brain learns, consolidates memories, and recalls coordinated motor movements.
Fernando Nottebohm, a professor at the Rockefeller University in New York City, detailed the brain structures and pathways that are involved in the production of bird song.[18][19]
In culture[edit]
In organized crime, the canary symbolizes an informant who "sings to the police."[20]
Canaries have been depicted in cartoons from the mid-20th century as being harassed by domestic cats; the most famous cartoon canary is Warner Bros.' "Tweety".
Norwich City, an English football team, is nicknamed "The Canaries" due to the city once being a famous centre for breeding and export of the birds. The club adopted the colours of yellow and green in homage. Jacob Mackley, of Norwich, won many prizes with birds of the local variety and shipped about 10,000 from Norwich to New York every year. In the early 1900s, he opened his aviaries to the public for three days and 10,000 people turned up.[citation needed] A number of other sports teams worldwide use variations of the name "Canaries", such as Frosinone (Italy), Koper (Slovenia), FC Novi Sad (Serbia), Fenerbahçe (Turkey), Lillestrøm SK (Norway), Kedah FA (Malaysia), the Brazil national football team and the Brazil women's national football team.

Combining education with entertainment and balancing wit with knowledge 'My life as a Bully' is a 45 minute drama / mockumentary that delivers a powerful anti-bullying message with the most potent tool going, humour.
Set in a modern day secondary school it is the story of Booker, nicknamed as of her love of books and her status as one of the many silent targets of a particularly nasty school bully 'Bulldog' and his gang.
Booker may appear passive, but she is no fool. When she witnesses, the bullying increasing she naturally turns to books for guidance. When the temporary relief librarian suggests she takes a copy of 'Bully For You', although uncertain, she takes it.
The events that follow change the face of the school forever.
Acknowledge that it takes courage to speak up, but be courageous – as people want to help.

How Do I Sign-Up for the Post 9/11 GI Bill Before I Retire?
Q: I don't want to use the benefit now, but I may want it later for my kids. I have 5 yrs left before I'm eligible to retire. How do I "sign up" now so I can serve my last 5 years and fulfill the GI Bill commitment at the same time?
A: First, you may have to reenlist for enough years to bring you to the 20-year mark, if your current enlistment doesn't do that. If it does, then you should be O.K. with the first step.
Next, go to the TEB website. There you will find a record on each of your kids (and spouse). Enter in the number of months you want to transfer to each child. You will notice when you are done the Status block says "Pending Review". Periodically watch the website and look for the status to change to "Approved". Sometimes it can take up to 8 weeks for the transfers to get approved. If you can't enter months into any of the records, then there is an issue with your enlistment time left.
Once approved, and when your kids are ready to use their transferred benefits, each of them will have to go to the VONAPP website and submit VA Form 22-1990e. In return, each will get back a Certificate of Eligibility that they will need when enrolling in school as a GI Bill student using transferred benefits.

Italy's Conte: 'There will be No New Lockdown'
Mon 4:05 pm +00:00, 31 Aug 2020
ER Editor: Thanks to Twitter member Councillor Francesco Lari from the UK for alerting us to this article, with appropriate comment.
Please note below that in the case of France, it is only suffering from more 'cases' in the way that every country is, i.e. it is obsessively testing healthy people with the PCR test, notorious for producing many false positives. There's no wave of sickness here. See WATCH: French Professor of Medicine DESTROYS Masks, '2nd Wave', Lockdown Narrative.
Coronavirus, Conte: "There will be no new lockdown. The country must run safely"
The Prime Minister: We need caution but we must not restrict economic activities". The school node and the Recovery Plan dossier
ALESSANDRO TOCINO
If France is sadly on the way to a retreat that has to reckon with more than 7,000 contagions, Italy accuses an increase in the number of positives, which is kept under constant observation by Chigi Palace (ER: the residence of Giuseppe Conte) but which at the moment does not prefigure scenarios similar to those of Paris. President Emmanuel Macron spoke of a possible second national lockdown, while Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte reiterates that he sees no prospect of a new complete closure of activities.
The monitoring of the curve
The premier's judgement is based on the fact that the increase in the number of infected people is not matched, for the moment, by an increase in hospital admissions. The health care system is in a very different situation compared to a few months ago, when intensive care therapy was collapsing. But Chigi Palace also claims the method worked:
"We have worked so far in a methodical way, in the sign of precaution – explain from the offices – We are the only ones to have developed a sophisticated monitoring mechanism of the contagion curve, based on 21 parameters that return a detailed risk analysis, which descends into territorial evaluations even very limited".
Limited closures, if necessary
A system that should make it possible to intervene, if necessary, with limiting measures that are also geographically well defined. So, at least for now, there are no plans to return to lockdown. As Premier Conte explains:
"With our system, we are confident that we can tackle the autumn with caution but without restricting economic activity. We must comply with the minimum precautionary rules in force that will allow us to support the recovery that has already occurred in recent months, as certified by Istat. The country must run in safety".
The Ciae meeting
Run safely. Almost a contradiction in terms. And in any case not very easy, given the disastrous situation of the race course, but necessary, considering that the economy cannot remain at a standstill for much longer. For this reason it is also accelerating the Recovery Plan. Wednesday morning, September 9, will be held in Chigi the second meeting of Ciae, the Interministerial Committee of European Affairs, the body chaired by the Minister for European Affairs Enzo Amendola. After the European Council a first meeting was held. Throughout the month of August there were technical tables of the ministries involved and now we will try to draw conclusions from the work done. Also because the times are very tight and the date of 15 October is approaching, when the plan will have to be presented to Europe.

Introduction to Fremont County, Colorado Heritage, & Natural History
Explore Agritourism Heritage by vistaworks 30 January 4 April
Fremont County, Colorado, including the towns of Canon City, Florence, Penrose, and Howard, has a rich heritage from roughly the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 to the opening of the Royal Gorge Bridge in 1929.
Fremont County is located in south-central Colorado on the southeastern edge of Colorado's Front Range and southwest of Pikes Peak. Elevations in the county range from just under 5,000' in the southeastern corner of the county, where the Colorado Piedmont section of the Great Plains meets the Southern Rocky Mountains, to over 13,000' on Bushnell Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that form the County's southwestern boundary.
Learn more about Fremont County's Geology.
Primary ecoregions range from Piedmont Plains and Pinyon-Juniper Woodlands in the east through Foothill Shrublands to Mid-Elevation Forests in the western portion of the County. Over 80% of Fremont County is located in the Southern Rockies and 17% in Piedmont Plains and Tablelands. 47% of land in the county is privately owned, 36% is managed by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 10% is managed by the US Forest Service, and 7% is owned by the State of Colorado.
The Arkansas River bisects Fremont County, running west to east. It enters the county at an elevation of about 6,900' and leaves the county at about 5,000'. The Arkansas River Headwaters Recreation Area is a Colorado State Park that manages the myriad of recreational activities in the area, including whitewater rafting, fishing in Gold Medal trout waters, hiking, biking, etc. with over 700,000 visitors per year.
The Royal Gorge is a 1,000' deep, 10-mile long, extremely narrow canyon cut by the Arkansas River. About 30' wide at its narrowest point, the gorge opens out just above Cañon City and Florence and dramatically defines the entrance to the Southern Rockies. Below the gorge, "the mountain and valley winds are persistent enough to modify the climate over a considerable area. Descending air currents frequently prevent the stratification of air necessary for the occurrence of excessive cold. As a consequence, the winter climate is milder near Cañon City and Penrose than anywhere else in the State." (CSU, Climate of Colorado)
Highway access to Fremont County is provided primarily by Highway 50 about 35 miles west of I-25 and Pueblo, Colorado. Highway 50 travels past Penrose to Cañon City, then continues west along the Arkansas River to Salida and beyond. Highway 50 passes through Parkdale, Texas Creek, Cotopaxi, Coaldale, Howard, Swissvale, and Wellsville in western Fremont County. Colorado Route 69 travels south from Texas Creek to Hillside.
Colorado Route 69 travels south from Texas Creek to Hillside, CO-115 provides primary access to Fremont County about 35 miles southwest of Colorado Springs, and I-25 passes through Penrose and on to Florence and area communities of Rockvale, Coal Creek, Williamsburg, Brookside and Lincoln Park.

I am Usha, a tribal girl from Bagaha, West Champaran, Bihar. My parents are illiterate, daily wage earners and work as agrarian labours to meet our basic needs. My parents are not able to support financially for my education but my strong desire for education has inspired them to forget many deprivations in life and stand by me. I am very glad to share the experiences of my personal growth and transformation here.
I have been a beneficiary of the Patna Jesuit social action programmes for the poor since 2004. The first opportunity to pursue my dream was realised when I was admitted to Sewa Sadan, Ratanpurwa, for the special education programme for girls from the marginalised communities. There, I completed my matriculation through NIOS. I was so happy that I could pass matriculation in a few years' time, without attending formal schooling and that too in first division.
After the matriculation I didn't think that I could continue my further studies. But by the grace of God I was called to join READ family as a member of Long Residential Training in 2012 by Fr. Joseph Sabastian S.J. This is the place where my life got transformed as a new being. Since then, I have completed I. Sc and BSW and at present I am preparing for the BA final year exam in economic honors. I consider myself very fortunate and privileged to have this immense opportunity to be with the Jesuits and their special human resource building programme.
The last six years in READ has been a great spiritual experience for me. Here, in READ I realised the true identity and value of my life. I have been liberated from fear, negativity and superstitious beliefs. In the atmosphere of freedom, positivity and well-being, I feel free to articulate myself. The training here has helped me a lot to bring out my desires, aspirations and dreams. It has filled me with such joy, enthusiasm and vigour, that I am able to travel many miles of my life's journey with hope and dignity. I have received here the important art of self-respect, self-esteem, self- discipline and positive outlook towards oneself and others.
The training here has further enabled me to uphold human, secular and democratic values and cultivate scientific temper, which in turn has helped me immensely to grow in freedom and maturity. Conscientisation and critical reflection are integral to our curriculum here. I value and cherish the opportunity I get to reflect, discuss and speak on important issues based on the socio- political and economic issues that affect our life. This helps me to have an independent mind. Now I am able to evaluate critically the socio political and economic situations based on the constitutional norms and values.
Today I have come to cherish my freedom of mind. I am freed from utter ignorance or just conforming myself to whatever elders, community leaders or religious leaders would say. I am very happy that I am able to know my feelings, recognize my weakness and try my best to lead myself in a proper way. Now I am able to express myself freely without any hesitation. When I look back, I feel that a miracle has happened in my life. I used to regard myself poor, incapable and useless but today I see myself as a dignified person. I am proud of what I am. I have become an example for many more marginalized and poor children like me to send their children to the school.
Altogether I can say READ has moulded me into new beings with new political, social consciousness, identity, purpose, values and vision. I cannot forget the valuable contribution of the Jesuit fathers, brothers and many other sisters who have sweated their blood to polish my personality. Their genuine love, care and concern have made me to feel as if I was their child. For all these wonderful experiences of my life I would like to profoundly thank each and every one of them.
My journey is not complete. In fact, it has just begun. I must guard the light that is within me. And I have learned that I can only guard that light by reaching out to the neglected and the needy wherever I may be or whoever I become. May God give me the strength to continue this journey.

"Commercial honeybee enterprises began feeding bees high-fructose corn syrup back in the 70's after research was conducted that indicated that doing so was safe. Since that time, new pesticides have been developed and put into use and over time it appears the bees' immunity response to such compounds may have become compromised.
"The researchers aren't suggesting that high-fructose corn syrup is itself toxic to bees, instead, they say their findings indicate that by eating the replacement food instead of honey, the bees are not being exposed to other chemicals that help the bees fight off toxins, such as those found in pesticides."
Something apparently we cannot blame on global warming or climate change.

A few years ago, hog farmers throughout the Midwest noticed foam building on top of their manure pits. Soon after, barns began exploding, killing thousands of hogs while farmers lost millions of dollars.

Crist shares political priorities with community
BY ALLEN A. BUCHANAN, Staff Writer
ST. PETERSBURG — Front-running Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist said at a press conference held Tuesday morning at the Enoch Davis Center that he would sign five Executive Orders of fairness immediately after being sworn in as governor if he were elected.
The first Executive Order (EO) that Crist said he would sign if he were inaugurated would be to bring back open, honest and transparent government.
"I think it's fundamentally important that you have access to your government," said Crist.
The gubernatorial hopeful further emphasized the conditions that people should not have to deal with while accessing governmental information. First, travel records should not be "redacted," which is the process of editing or obscuring a document by removing sensitive information. Second, Crist attacked the fee structure for getting information.
"You shouldn't have to pay exorbitant fees for information that is rightfully yours," exclaimed Crist. He added that the Scott administration has made accessing information from the government a hindrance.
"We will direct state agencies to produce public records at the lowest possible costs available to all Floridians…and advocate on the public's right to know," said Crist.
The second EO Crist promised would be to raise the minimum wage for contractors doing business with the State of Florida to $10.10 an hour. Crist immediately reflected on Gov. Scott's point of view of minimum wage.
"The concept of minimum wage makes him cringe," said Crist.
Next, Crist said he would sign a third and fourth EO demanding equal pay for equal work and prohibit the practice of discrimination due to gender, race or gender identity. Lastly, Crist said that he would sign an EO calling for investing state tax dollars in Florida businesses.
"Direct government can make every effort within the bounds of the law to hire Floridians and Florida businesses for the work they do for the state," said Crist.
Crist introduced Watson Haynes, the president and CEO of Pinellas County Urban League, to discuss the struggles of local community and civil rights organizations to encourage raising the minimum wage in Florida to $10.10.
"We are still progressing with congress to make that happen," said Haynes. "This is a step out of poverty by raising the minimum wage. I commend Crist for saying this will be the first Executive Order because it will change the face of poverty in Florida one person, one family at a time."
Next, Crist introduced Darden Rice, City Council Representative of District 4, who reiterated the need for redressing the issue of equal pay for women.
"The fact that women in this day and age still make 83 cents on the dollar for men (who make 17 cents more than women) points to the fact that it's overdue, that we have strong leadership to address pay and equality issues."
Rice further reinforced Crist's position on fairness for all no matter what race or gender identity. "He is ready to get started on Day 1 for protections of LGBT employees of state government."
Crist was questioned by reporters several times about why he has not debated Nan Rich, the only Democratic gubernatorial challenger.
"Right now, my priority is Gov. Scott." Crist declared, adding that he would be willing to have more than the three debates that Scott has limited himself to.
