If you are searching for a great way to teach your family about the importance of taking good care of the natural environment, a family recycling venture might be exactly the activity you need. Recycling is a fantastic way to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills, plus in some cases it may even earn you a little bit of extra spending cash. Starting up a recycling project as a family is a fantastic way to work together to help use less natural resources and enhance our planet's environment. The tips below will assist you to get your recycling project going as soon as possible.
If you have never recycled before, it can be helpful to do a bit of preparation in advance. Figure out what type of rubbish you and your family generate the most of. For example, recycling aluminum cans may be a good place to start if you regularly purchase canned soda and juices. It is usually easier to "start small" when beginning a family recycling venture. And then, once your whole family becomes accustomed to the concept of recycling, you can always start gathering other items as well. Designate an area around the house to be the main center for your recycling materials. Good options include a corner of the basement or the garage. If your neighborhood offers curbside recycling, contact the proper town authorities to be able to get a recycling container if they are provided. Otherwise, a large plastic or metal trash can or even a cardboard box can suffice. Follow your community's guidelines for collecting recyclable containers. If you are using your own bin to collect the materials, it can be simpler to take them to your local recycling center if you first line them with a big trash bag. Be sure to make it clear to everyone that they should rinse all cans and bottles before they put them in the large containers, so that attracting small animals and insects won't turn into a problem.
Since projects always appear to be more successful when there is a goal in mind, it can be a great idea to define your recycling project goals in advance. If you are hoping to try to earn a bit of spending money by recycling, you will probably want to focus on items that you can get money back from, such as aluminum cans. If your strategy is to spend the recycling funds on a certain object or event such as a family movie night, it is generally helpful to remind the whole family of this specific goal. As an example, a photograph of your local movie theater or pictures of a previous family movie night hung in a picture frame over your recycling center can be a good motivator.
You might have to work some at setting good trash management routines if you want to reach your recycling target. You might make things more exciting by organizing some recycling competitions for your family to participate in. For instance example, bestow the recognition of "Best Recycler" to the family member who recycles the largest number of cans throughout the week. You might even want to hang 4x6 picture frames about so that you will have the ability to show pictures of the winner of this honor.
So if you are hoping to organize a recycling project for your family, then look no more. With these simple tips you will be able to get started right away.

Moreover in the world of forecasting there is a conspicuous failure to close the feedback loop, with the result that the performance of most forecast processes is way below managers have the right to expect; particularly if they have just paid a king's ransom for a fancy new piece of software.
The best way to explain this is by describing what feedback isn't using a simple example.
Imagine driving a car with no instruments. At the end of every day, you receive a piece of paper telling you how many miles you have driven, your average speed and engine revolutions and the total amount of fuel consumed.
Would you feel well informed?
I'm guessing not, because you really need to know whether you are breaking the speed limit, about to run out of fuel and whether you are thrashing the engine. Receiving a high-level summary when it is already too late to do anything about it, is useless. And yet this is the form that most forecast process feedback takes; high-level, paper reports at the end of a period. Worse still, the drivers don't have any of the contextual information that a car driver has; noise from a struggling engine, the scenery flashing past and so on.
The problem here is that, while there is management information, there is no feedback.
The classic definition of feedback is information about the state of a system that is fed back into the system in a way that can be used to change the state of the system. In layman's terms it is information that can be used to take action that will bring the forecast process (the system) back into line with its goals.
No system or process can possibly perform consistently in the desired way without adequate feedback - much of the improvement we have seen in everyday machines that now perform better than they ever used to, is because feedback has been built into the system. So automobile engines now have engine management systems to regulate their performance and fuel efficiency, and street lights turn on when it gets dark, saving both money and lives. Even bombs have become smart by detecting when they are off target and taking corrective action.
Building feedback into forecasting processes means that we need very frequent, very granular information about the quality of forecasts.We need to be able to tell the difference between random noise and evidence of a real problem and to compensate for the inherent difficulty of forecasting a highly volatile data series compared to a very stable one. Finally, it should be able to focus attention on those areas that really matter; where the gap between actual performance and that which is achievable is the most significant.
If we want to accelerate the returns on our investments in forecasting software and 'best practice' processes, we need to learn how to 'close the loop' on forecasting. Without it forecasting will remain one of the biggest sources of waste in business.

The project of the Kyiv Summer Theological University (KSTU) organized in The Ark spiritual and educational centre in the village of Lyshnya offers informal ecumenical theological education outside the walls of the official Church institutions.
About 10 intensive lecture courses, 5 seminars and a round table will function in several directions: Theology, Modern Theology, Exegetics, Patristic, Ethics, Christian Culture. Lectures will tend to alternate between general introductions and highly focused presentations, which demand a suitably trained listener.
Studies will be organized in two blocks, according to the two weeks of the University. During the two summer weeks of the University and the following year vibrant faith, intellectual and holistic adventure of the spirit, characterized by open-endedness, friendship, ecumenical dialogue and, of course, intellectual precision and intensity radiate from KSTU in circles.
In the public spiritual and educational center "Kovcheg" (the Ark) at the Church of Saint Paraskeva the Serbian in Lyshnya village of Makariv district the Ninth Kyiv Summer Theological University (KLBI) has finished its work, which continued the past two weeks.
In 2011 KSTU is happening from Jul 24 to Aug 6 .
Professor Paul Vallier from Butler University (Indianapolis) will speak about the theology of childhood in the novels of Victor Hugo. Inna Golubovich, a philosopher from Odessa, will lecture about the metaphysics and cultural anthropology of childhood and the phenomenon of childhood in biographical and autobiographical experience. The topics of the lecture course of Irina Bagration-Mukhraneli, a professor of philology from Moscow, will be child and adult perception of space in Mikhail Lermontov, childhood dreams and the character of the lyrical "I" in the poetry of Osip Mandelshtam, among others. Within his general course of the Eucharist anthropology, the theologian and philosopher from Kharkov Alexander Filonenko will give a lecture on the "Child's language of faith." A professor of philosophy from Kiev Viktor Malakhov and Constantin Sigov will prepare seminars on the topic.
The Children's Academy will shoot two films, the topics of which are to be announced soon.


Flaxmere Licensing Trust's ongoing commitment to education in its community has been the catalyst for big gains in student learning in the largely underprivileged Hastings suburb.
The trust has injected more than $1million into the Flaxmere Schools Cluster over the last ten years.
The annual grant of around $100,000 to the five schools has in recent years gone on the purchasing of iPads, Chromebooks and other devices to help improve access to students.
The Flaxmere Schools Cluster includes Flaxmere College, Flaxmere Primary, Irongate, Kimi Ora Community and Peterhead.
All five schools are categorised as Decile 1, the Ministry of Education classification that puts them in the bottom 10 per cent based on the community's low socio-economic profile.
Long serving Flaxmere Licensing Trust president Ken Kibblewhite says the schools originally sold the proposition as a way of bolstering learning opportunities in Flaxmere.
Evidence that it has achieved this is overwhelming, Kibblewhite says, and the Trust has been steadfast in its continued support of the initiative.
"Obviously as a trust we take it one year at a time, but each year that the schools come back to us we are really excited at what has been achieved," Kibblewhite says.
Education is key to unlocking young people's potential, Kibblewhite says, and the trust is thrilled to be able to support these sorts of projects.
Kibblewhite says it is humbling to note the many groups and organisations working for Flaxmere providing their time and energy to improve the many facets of life within the community.
The Flaxmere Licensing Trust on average awards annual grants totalling around $500,000 into the community, with education receiving the largest allocation. In addition to the $100,000 for the Flaxmere Schools Cluster, the most recent funding round saw an additional $40,000 for other education and youth based initiatives.
At the gateway to Flaxmere, Peterhead is a glowing example of how a school can flourish in an economically poor community.
Fundamental to a successful school is skilled and passionate teachers, but having the resources to purchase devices and keep abreast with technology has become increasingly important, Genet says.
"Technology has become a bigger and bigger kind of tool for learning, and it has a whole lot of facets that we can use to unlock students' learning potential," he says.
"The trust has made this possible and the fact that they continue to recognise what we [the schools] are doing is something that everybody in the Flaxmere community should be very grateful for," he says.
Peterhead boasts National Standards (for reading, writing and mathematics) of around 60-65 per cent, which for a Declie 1 school is "pretty phenomenal". The Year 1-8 school has in some respects become a victim of its own success now at capacity with a roll of around 550 pupils.
At the other end of Flaxmere, Kimi Ora Community School is looking forward to better days with a $4.5million rebuild about to get underway.
When principal Matt O'Dowda took over at the start of 2016 the roll had slumped to 70 students. It finished the year with 140, and O'Dowda is confident that the numbers will continue on the same upward trajectory.
While the Ministry of Education is paying for the new classrooms, he says the trust money for technology devices is vital.
The relatively small roll at Kimi Ora means that there are a lot more devices to go round. O'Dowda says most of the kids don't have computers at home.
Peterhead principal Martin Genet and teacher Anna Berryman with a group of Year-1 students. Chromebook's, iPads and other devices provided through funding from the Flaxmere Licensing Trust have played a key role in improving student learning at the Flaxmere school.
Kimi Ora Community School Year-6 student Lola Toliau shows off her helicopter creation. Lego and robotics are just some of the technologies used to advance student learning at the Flaxmere School.

[ISEA2011] Paper: Maryse Simone de la Giroday – Whose electric brain
Memristors are collapsing the boundaries between humans and machines and ushering in an age where humanistic discourse must grapple with cognitive entanglements. Perceptible only at the level of molecular electronics (nanoelectronics), the memristor was a theoretical concept until 2008. Two different researchers without knowledge of each other had postulated its probable existence respectively in the 1960s and the 1970s. Traditionally in electrical engineering there are resistors, inductors, and capacitors. The new circuit element, the memristor, was postulated to account for anomalies that had been experienced and described in the literature since the 1950s.
Conceptually, a memristor remembers how much and when current has been flowing. In 2008 when it was proved experimentally, engineering control was achieved months later in both digital and analogue formats. The more intriguing of the two formats is the analogue where a memristor is capable of an in-between state similar to certain brain states as opposed to the digital format where it's either on or off. As some have described it, the memristor is a synapse on a chip making neural computing a reality. In other words, with post-human engineering we will have machines that can think like humans.
The memristor moves us past Jacques Derrida's notion of undecidability (a cognitive entanglement) as largely theoretical to a world where we confront this reality on a daily basis.

Two new films fail to live up to their potential
Authors: Jeremy Anderson
Part "Indiana Jones," part "Seabiscuit," though not as good as
either, "Hidalgo" tells the story of Frank T. Hopkins (Viggo
Mortensen), an American cowboy invited to participate with his
horse, Hidalgo, in a 3,000-mile horserace across the Arabian
This premise is packed with potential, but unfortunately the
film fails to take advantage of its many opportunities for
greatness. It is far from a bad film, but it's one that could have
been so much better.
Mortensen does the whole rugged-cowboy thing effortlessly and
Frank is actually surprisingly similar to his Aragorn character
from "The Lord of the Rings." Both spend a lot of time on a horse
and both have a hidden lineage that proves important toward the end
of each film.
The movie is about a race, but as the movie went on, I
constantly had to remind myself this. The big event does not even
begin until a good 45 minutes into the film and once it does, the
participants seem to do a lot more sitting around resting, rather
than doing anything that might be considered actual racing.
Whether it is because Disney released it, or because director,
Joe Johnston, is responsible for such family-friendly fare as
"Honey I Shrunk the Kids" and "Jumanji," "Hidalgo" is being
described as a family film, though it frequently pushes the
boundaries of PG-13 violence to the max. Characters are stabbed,
speared, beheaded, mauled and shot with gleeful abandon.
These scenes, however, are what save "Hidalgo" from being a
total bore. The film has a couple of thrilling action scenes, it's
just too bad they're so few and far between.
Race, gender and ethnicity are running themes throughout
"Hidalgo," but that theme is never developed into any kind of
message. It seems more like the film simply uses them as an excuse
to portray its characters as clich�d and stereotypical as
Despite all of its flaws, I was still drawn into "Hidalgo's"
premise and cared about its heroic duo. It could have been really
good, but just barely manages to be good enough.
Real life pals, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, portray the '70s TV
show cops as they try to bring down a drug dealer, played by Vince
Vaughn, in an underused role. Snoop Dogg plays Huggy Bear, a street
informant who helps the crime-fighting duo catch their man.
The movie is consistently amusing, though despite its talented
cast and director (Todd Philips, "Old School"), it only contains a
few genuine laugh-out-loud moments. A hilarious trailer ruined many
of the film's best scenes. Thankfully, the movie does contain a
dance off sequence, a device that is no longer original, but has
yet to lose its comedic appeal.
Even without an abundance of big laughs, Stiller and Wilson are
perfectly cast. The movie's best attribute, however, is its
impressive attention to detail in recreating the look of the
'70s.

James A. Drake is an American academic administrator. In March 2007, he was named president of Brevard Community College (Eastern Florida State College), a public college with campuses in Palm Bay, Melbourne, Cocoa, and Titusville, Florida. With average annual enrollments of averaging nearly 30,000 students, the multi-campus institution is one of the 100 largest community colleges in the U.S. Prior to his appointment at Brevard, Drake served as associate vice president for academic affairs and director of the University of Central Florida's Southern Region campuses, through a partnership with Brevard Community College.

Early life
He was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1944. While completing his doctoral studies, he accepted an offer to join the faculty of Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY). Drake earned a Ph.D. degree from Ohio State University in 1973. He worked for eight years as a tenured professor and academic administrator. He served as chair of the Department of Education, associate director of graduate studies, and director of televised studies. In the latter role, he worked with PBS station WNET/13 in New York City for the distribution of credit-earning television courses for teachers in New York State and New Jersey.

Drake served as an academic administrator at the University of Tampa (1979–84), Findlay College (1984–1987), and Clemson University (as executive director of the University Center, Greenville, South Carolina, 1988–1994). In 1987–88 he served as a full-time research consultant and equity partner with an Ohio-based management consulting firm, co-directing the higher-education division.

Drake is the author of seven books and more than fifty commercial and academic articles. Two of his biographies, Ponselle: A Singer's, and Richard Tucker: A Biography, with forewords by tenor Luciano Pavarotti, were selected as "Books of the Month" by National Book Clubs of America. Fifteen years after Ponselle: A Singer's Life was published, Drake returned to her in Rosa Ponselle: A Centenary Biography (Amadeus Press), in which he employed a postmodern format to present and analyze conflicting accounts of Rosa Ponselle's life and career. His other books include Teaching Critical Thinking (1976), a textbook stemming from his doctoral research; Popular Culture and American Life (with M. W. Laforse, 1980); and Lily Pons: A Centennial Portrait (with K. B. Ludecke and a foreword by Beverly Sills, 1999).

Drake was a contributing author to American National Biography, as well as to The International Dictionary of Opera. He served on the editorial board of The Opera Quarterly, a vocal-music journal. His expertise in 19th and 20th century operatic performances led him to co-host the radio series Voices That Live, originating from the CBS Radio affiliate in Ithaca, N.Y.

Personal life
Drake and his wife live in Merritt Island, Florida.

They say every bottle of wine tells a tale and Cult Wines International, a small seller of rare wines at bargain prices, has its own interesting story.
Initially starting with a personal wine collection, owner Frank Hartland turned his passion for wine into a thriving business on eBay's global marketplace where people can both purchase rare wines, and also sell from their own collection to other enthusiasts.
Cult Wines, which is based in Port Charlotte, Florida, features wines worth thousands and some for under $20.
Starting small, Hartland began selling his collection of wine and also those owned by his friends on his eBay account. That practice eventually turned into a bustling consignment business.
"As the value of my wine cellar got higher, I decided that I would auction some off," Hartland said.
Cult Wines' current cellar houses a maximum of 3,000 premium wines. Given market conditions and availability, the number of bottles can vary from 1,000 to 3,000 in any given month. The Venice, Florida cellars feature climate-controlled storage in multiple locations.
Hartland eventually became licensed to sell wine on eBay. He looked into selling via other auction format sites like Sotheby's and Winebid.com, but the terms were prohibitive.
Cult Wines has come a long way since the first bottle sold on eBay. It was a bubbly way to start: Veuve Clicquot. Cult Wines now has $550,000 worth of wine up on eBay in 800 listings.
eBay services like PayPal, Sales Manager, and automated shipping label printing make growing the business easy. "We're really pleased with the integration," said Hartland, who uses the eBay mobile app to track auctions when on the road.
But being in the wine business is no easy job. The wine review process is intense. After the bottles are shipped to Cult Wines, they're inspected for clarity, cork attributes, cap bulges and other telltale signs of wine gone bad. This is critical for wines that are decades old.
Those good wine sales include a 1982 Perrier-Jouët Josephine in a beautiful gold-flaked bottle (seen above).
"It might not have been the ultimate tasting wine, but the whole package was something really rare," said Hartland.
Cult Wines also recently sold rare bottles of Chateau Petrus and a 1982 Chateau Le Pin.
One of Hartland's biggest challenges is sourcing wines. It's not easy to find rare wine that's in good condition.
If inventory's low, they'll buy from wine auctions and search the Internet for collections that are up for sale.
Hartland even negotiates for rare bottles that have been difficult for local restaurants to move.
Some of Cult Wines' consignment contacts have million dollar wine cellars and simply need to reduce their bottle counts in order to make room for more wines. "I've got a guy in Naples that's always trying to make room in his cellar," said Hartland.
One of Cult Wines' latest no reserve sales featured two bottles of 1961 Chateau Latour a Pomerol. The first bottle sold for $13,000.

The Risale-i Nur Collection
The Sixth Topic from the Fruits of Belief : Recognizing Allah through the tongue of sciences.
[This consists of a single, brief proof of the pillar of belief, 'Belief in Allah,' for which there are numerous decisive proofs and explanations in the Risale-i Nur.]
In Kastamonu a group of high-school students came to me, saying: "Tell us about our Creator, our teachers do not speak of Allah." I said to them: "All the sciences you study continuously speak of Allah and make known the Creator, each with its own particular tongue. Do not listen to your teachers; listen to them.
"For example, a well-equipped pharmacy with life-giving potions and cures in every jar weighed out in precise and wondrous measures doubtless shows an extremely skilful, practised, and wise pharmacist. In the same way, to the extent that it is bigger and more perfect and better stocked than the pharmacy in the market-place, the pharmacy of the globe of the earth with its living potions and medicaments in the jars which are the four hundred thousand species of plants and animals shows and makes known to eyes that are blind even – by means of the measure or scale of the science of medicine that you study – the All-Wise One of Glory, Who is the Pharmacist of the mighty pharmacy of the earth.
"To take another example; a wondrous factory which weaves thousands of sorts of cloth from a simple material doubtless makes known a manufacturer and skilful mechanic. In the same way, to whatever extent it is larger and more perfect than the human factory, this travelling dominical machine known as the globe of the earth with its hundreds of thousands of heads, in each of which are hundreds of thousands of factories, shows and makes known –by means of the measure or scale of the science of engineering which you study– its Manufacturer and Owner.
"And, for example, a depot, store, or shop in which has been brought together and stored up in regular and orderly fashion a thousand and one varieties of provisions undoubtedly makes known a wondrous owner, proprietor, and overseer of provisions and foodstuffs. In just the same way, to whatever degree it is vaster and more perfect than such a store or factory, this foodstore of the Most Merciful One known as the globe of the earth, this Divine ship, this dominical depot and shop holding goods, equipment, and conserved food, which in one year travels regularly an orbit of twenty-four thousand years, and carrying groups of beings requiring different foods and passing through the seasons on its journey and filling the spring with thousands of different provisions like a huge waggon, brings them to the wretched animate creatures whose sustenance has been exhausted in winter, – by means of the measure or scale of the science of economics which you study – this depot of the earth makes known and makes loved its Manager, Organizer, and Owner.
"And, for example, let us imagine an army which consists of four hundred thousand nations, and each nation requires different provisions, uses different weapons, wears different uniforms, undergoes different drill, and is discharged from its duties differently. If this army and camp has a miracle-working commander who on his own provides all those different nations with all their different provisions, weapons, uniforms, and equipment without forgetting or confusing any of them, then surely the army and camp show the commander and make him loved appreciatively. In just the same way, the spring camp of the face of the earth in which every spring a newly recruited Divine army of the four hundred thousand species of plants and animals are given their varying uniforms, rations, weapons, training, and demobilizations in utterly perfect and regular fashion by a single Commander-in-Chief Who forgets or confuses not one of them – to whatever extent the spring camp of the face of the earth is vaster and more perfect than that human army, – by means of the measure or scale of the military science that you study – it makes known to the attentive and sensible, its Ruler, Sustainer, Administrator, and Most Holy Commander, causing wonderment and acclaim, and makes Him loved and praised and glorified.
"Another example: millions of electric lights that move and travel through a wondrous city, their fuel and power source never being exhausted, self-evidently make known a wonder-working craftsman and extraordinarily talented electrician who manages the electricity, makes the moving lamps, sets up the power source, and brings the fuel; they cause others to congratulate and applaud him, and to love him. In just the same way, although some of the lamps of the stars in the roof of the palace of the world in the city of the universe –if they are considered in the way that astronomy says– are a thousand times larger than the earth and move seventy times faster than a cannon-ball, they do not spoil their order, nor collide with one another, nor become extinguished, nor is their fuel exhausted. According to astronomy, which you study, for our sun to continue burning, which is a million times larger than the earth and a million times older and is a lamp and stove in one guest-house of the Most Merciful One, as much oil as the seas of the earth and as much coal as its mountains or as many logs and much wood as ten earths are necessary for it not to be extinguished. And however much greater and more perfect than this example are the electric lamps of the palace of the world in the majestic city of the universe, which point with their fingers of light to an infinite power and sovereignty which illuminates the sun and other lofty stars like it without oil, wood, or coal, not allowing them to be extinguished or to collide with one another, though travelling together at speed, to that degree – by means of the measure of the science of electricity which you either study or will study – they testify to and make known the Monarch, Illuminator, Director, and Maker of the mighty exhibition of the universe; they make Him loved, glorified, and worshipped.
"And, for example, take a book in every line of which a whole book is finely written, and in every word of which a sura of the Qur'an is inscribed with a fine pen. Being most meaningful with all of its matters corroborating one another, and a wondrous collection showing its writer and author to be extraordinarily skilful and capable, it undoubtedly shows its writer and author together with all his perfections and arts as clearly as daylight, and makes him known. It makes him appreciated with phrases like, "What wonders Allah has willed!" and, "Blessed be Allah!" Just the same is the mighty book of the universe; we see with our eyes a pen at work which writes on the face of the earth, which is a single of its pages, and on the spring, which is a single folio, the three hundred thousand plant and animal species, which are like three hundred thousand different books, all together, one within the other, without fault or error, without mixing them up or confusing them, perfectly and with complete order, and sometimes writes an ode in a word like a tree, and the complete index of a book in a point like a seed. However much vaster and more perfect and meaningful than the book in the example mentioned above is this compendium of the universe and mighty embodied Qur'an of the world, which is infinitely full of meaning and in every word of which are numerous instances of wisdom, to that degree –in accordance with the extensive measure and far-seeing vision of the natural science that you study and the sciences of reading and writing that you have practised at school– it makes known the Inscriber and Author of the book of the universe together with His infinite perfections. Proclaiming 'Allah is Most Great!', it makes Him known. Uttering words like 'Glory be to Allah!', it describes Him. Uttering praises like 'All praise be to Allah!', it makes Him loved.
"Thus, hundreds of other sciences like these make known the Glorious Creator of the universe together with His Names, each through its broad measure or scale, its particular mirror, its far-seeing eyes, and searching gaze; they make known His attributes and perfections.
"It is in order to give instruction in this matter, which is a brilliant and magnificent proof of Divine unity, that the Qur'an of Miraculous Exposition teaches us about our Creator most often with the verses, Sustainer of the Heavens and the Earth,(1) and, He created the Heavens and Earth." (2) I said this to the schoolboys, and they accepted it completely, affirming it by saying: "Endless thanks be to Allah, for we have received an absolutely true and sacred lesson. May Allah be pleased with you!" And I said:
"Man is a living machine who is grieved with thousands of different sorrows and receives pleasure in thousands of different ways; and despite his utter impotence has innumerable enemies, physical and spiritual; and despite his infinite poverty, has countless needs, external and inner; and is a wretched creature continuously suffering the blows of death and separation. Yet, through belief and worship, he at once becomes connected to a Monarch so Glorious he finds a point of support against all his enemies and a source of help for all his needs, and like everyone takes pride at the honour and rank of the lord to whom he is attached, you can compare for yourselves how pleased and grateful and thankful and full of pride man becomes at being connected through belief to an infinitely Powerful and Compassionate Monarch, at entering His service through worship, and transforming for himself the announcement of the execution of the appointed hour into the papers releasing him from duty."
I repeat to the calamity-stricken prisoners what I said to the schoolboys: "One who recognizes Him and obeys Him is fortunate even if he is in prison. While one who forgets Him is wretched and a prisoner even if he resides in a palace." Even, one wronged but fortunate man said to the wretched tyrants who were executing him: "I am not being executed but being demobilized and departing for where I shall find happiness. But I see that you are being condemned to eternal execution and am therefore taking perfect revenge on you." And declaring: "There is no god but Allah!", he happily surrendered his spirit.
Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are All-Knowing, All-Wise. (3)

JNR/Altius Identify Additional Copper Mineralization and Stake New Claims on Topsails Project, Newfoundland
TSXV:JNN Email:  [email protected] Website:  www.jnrresources.com
SASKATOON, SK, Oct. 25 /CNW/ - JNR Resources Inc. (TSXV:JNN) (the
'Company') is pleased to provide the following update and results from the
Topsails Uranium/Rare Earth Elements/Copper (U-REE-Cu) project in central
Newfoundland.
The Topsails project is a 50/50 alliance between the Company and Altius
Resources Inc. (jointly the 'Companies') that was established to explore for
volcanic-hosted uranium deposits in a defined area of west-central
Newfoundland near the mining community of Buchans.
The 2010 program, budgeted at approximately $500,000, was initiated in
July. It comprised an extensive regional- to district-scale prospecting,
mapping, ground geophysics, trenching, soil, till, and stream sediment
geochemistry program which continued through this fall. The program focused on
six significant areas (Koorae Cu-Mo-Au-Ag prospect, Railway U showing,
Sheffield Lake South Cu prospect, Long Range Mountain U-REE prospects A and B,
and Catcher's Pond Cu prospect) identified by the 2008 and 2009 programs that
returned highly anomalous geochemistry (see JNR News Releases -November 30,
2009 and December 18, 2009 for details). The 2009 work also identified a
number of additional targets within and adjacent to the project claims that
require further work.
Follow-up on one of these additional targets has resulted in the
discovery of Cu mineralization within boulders and subcrop, with the
subsequent staking of 124 new claims (3,100 hectares) to the west of the
Koorae Cu-Mo-Au-Ag porphyry-style prospect. Forty grab samples have been
analyzed with 25 of these returning Cu values over 1000 ppm and five of these
returning Cu values of 1.07, 1.08, 1.48, 1.61 and 1.68 wt%. Twelve of the 40
grab samples also returned anomalous Au values between 12 and 285 ppb.
Outcrop, subcrop, boulder, soil, till, and stream sediment samples from
this summer's exploration program have been submitted to the Saskatchewan
Research Council's Geo-Analytical Laboratory for multi-element analysis.
Further results will be released as they become available.
JNR is led by a highly experienced management team with proven discovery
success in uranium exploration. In addition to its projects in Newfoundland,
the Company has an interest in fourteen properties totalling some 340,197
hectares of highly prospective ground in the renowned Athabasca Basin of
northern Saskatchewan.
JNR's Director of Exploration, Dr. Irvine R. Annesley, P.Geo., is the
qualified person responsible for the technical data presented in this release.

Limite è un film muto brasiliano del 1931 diretto da Mário Peixoto.

La pellicola, in bianco e nero, è conservata presso la Cinemateca Brasileira di San Paolo ed è stata restaurata dalla World Cinema Foundation.

Limite è considerato il miglior film brasiliano di tutti i tempi.

Trama
Due ragazze e un ragazzo, mai conosciutisi prima, si trovano su una barca in mare aperto. Non hanno bagagli né cibo: aspettano che per loro arrivi la fine, avendo ormai smesso di remare.

Essi raccontano le loro vicissitudini, che li hanno portati a salire su quell'imbarcazione. Una delle due ragazze è una sarta, evasa con l'aiuto di una guardia dal carcere in cui era rinchiusa; rifugiatasi in un'altra città per tentare di riprendere la sua occupazione senza farsi riconoscere, se ne è poi allontanata dopo aver appreso dai giornali che la polizia la sta ancora cercando. L'altra, sposata con un pianista che lavora nei cinematografi, fugge da un marito tanto generoso con la gente quanto arido nei confronti di lei. Il giovane, che ha perso la donna amata a causa di un'onda anomala durante una loro passeggiata sul bagnasciuga, ha poi scoperto che lei era sposata e anche lebbrosa, dopo aver incontrato il vedovo al cimitero.

Una tempesta li porta via, distruggendo quindi la barca e le loro vite. Ma forse la donna evasa sopravviverà, essendo rimasta aggrappata a ciò che resta dell'imbarcazione.

Produzione
Si tratta del primo e unico film scritto e diretto da Mario Peixoto. La colonna sonora comprende composizioni di Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Alexander Borodin, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofiev e César Franck.

La scena dell'evasione è mostrata in parallelo con un inserto di Charlot avventuriero (1917) recante la didascalia Carlitos encrencou a zona ("Charlie si è incasinato per uscire"), dove la testa di Charlot con il berretto da detenuto spunta proprio dalla parte della guardia carceraria. Le immagini di Charlot avventuriero appaiono come un film nel film, durante una proiezione in un cineteatro col pianista che accompagna la pellicola di Chaplin, in modo dunque da creare un trait-d'union nelle storie dei due personaggi femminili in fuga. Il film fu ripubblicato al Chaplin Club, a Rio de Janeiro, il 17 ottobre 1931, per una proiezione speciale in omaggio a Charlie Chaplin.

Magistrale la sequenza dell'annegamento della donna amata dal ragazzo, nonostante il regista non l'abbia inquadrato; Peixoto mostra la passeggiata dei due sul bagnasciuga, ma a un certo punto si vedranno solo le orme dell'uomo.

Distribuzione
Il film venne proiettato per la prima volta a Rio de Janeiro il 17 maggio 1931. Venne distribuito in Gran Bretagna nell'ottobre dello stesso anno con il titolo Limit.

Nel 1978 venne rivisto al Ciclo de Cinema Brasileiro di Lisbona.

L'anno dopo venne proiettato al New York New Directors and New Films Festival.

Nel 1991 venne restaurato dalla World Cinema Foundation e conservato presso la Cinemateca Portuguesa; venne proiettato restaurato per la prima volta il 24 settembre 1991, con una distribuzione limitata in alcuni cinema statunitensi nel settembre 1992.

Nel 2010 venne rivisto al Film fra sør e nel 2013 all'Hong Kong International Film Festival.

Venne distribuito in Brasile su VHS dalla Funarte. Nel 2017 venne pubblicato su DVD negli Stati Uniti dalla The Criterion Collection.

In Italia è stato trasmesso in televisione per la prima volta su Raitre il 12 gennaio 2020.

Uh oh, Jada Pinkett Smith unfollowed Kris, Khloe and Kim
Can't they all just get along and four other stories in this week's While You Were Weekending.
Family over friends
The drama between Khloe Kardashian and Jordyn Woods might be over but it'll also never be forgotten. Everyone seems to be getting back to their normal (well, normal-ish), everyday lives but one person who isn't ready to let things lie: Jada Pinkett Smith. Wait, what?
Well, she's always been like family with Woods, and even gave Jordyn the first opportunity to publicly share her side of the story on her Facebook series, Red Table Talk. So we've always known whose side Jada was on, and this weekend JPS proved once again she's got Jordyn's back — by unfollowing Khloe, her sister, Kim Kardashian, and their mom, Kris Jenner. For now, Kylie Jenner is safe and remains unscathed and followed.
TMZ reports Jada "feels everyone should put it behind them," so if that means distancing herself from the Kardashians, so be it.
Lori Loughlin has Bob Saget's support but John Stamos isn't ready to talk about it
The Fuller House peeps are one big happy family. In the wake of the college admissions scandal, Lori Loughlin has gotten love from Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, and their co-star, Bob Saget, is also there for her.
"You love who you love in your life," Saget told TMZ, who asked him his thoughts on the situation. "I just love who I love. Candace said it really good at the Kids Choice Awards. You love who you love. I'm on the team of people that I love but life's complicated. I don't like talking about it."
On the other hand, Loughlin's on-screen husband, John Stamos, really doesn't want to talk about it. When TMZ caught up with him, Stamos' responded, "I will at some point ― I'm just not ready to talk about it."
Huh. That's … interesting. But maybe he was just caught off guard. Or perhaps Uncle Jesse actually does have an issue with what Aunt Becky did. We'll eaither find out, or we won't. But for now…
Jussie Smollett gets no respect from Chris Rock
The NAACP Image Awards were on Saturday night and it was a well-attended affair — except Jussie Smollett skipped out on the ceremony. But that's OK because things would've gotten really awkward if he had a run-in with Chris Rock.
Rock, who presented the Outstanding Comedy Series award, ignored what he was told to avoid talking about — and talked about it anyway.

Yep. Charges against Smollett may have been dropped by prosecutors, but clearly the damage has already been done as far as some are concerned. And comedians like Rock are going to continue milking it.
Paris Jackson performed her first concert and had loads of supporters
Paris Jackson and her boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn, played their first concert together on Friday and they had lots of family and friends in the audience, cheering them on.
just enough dark to see  how you're the light over me ♥
A post shared by Paris-Michael K. Jackalope (@parisjackson) on Mar 30, 2019 at 3:44pm PDT
Her mom, Debbie Rowe, brother Prince Jackson, godfather Macaulay Culkin and cousin TJ Jackson were at The Mint in Los Angeles, as were Chris Brown and Duchess Meghan's friend and latest defender, Gregg Sulkin.
I guess this would be classified as a friend appreciation post. @parisjackson You are always kind to others & your heart is firmly in the right place. Keep spreading the love. Congratulations on your gig last night. Rockstar.
A post shared by Gregg Sulkin (@greggsulkin) on Mar 31, 2019 at 2:00pm PDT
And Paris and Gabriel couldn't appreciate all the love and support more.
thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that came to our gig last night! it truly means the world to us. what a crazy turn out! sending so much light and love for you guys and your support. we're so excited for what's to come and so grateful to have y'all on this journey with us ♥ xxo pk & gg

Sandra Oh repped Canada like a boss before and while hosting SNL
Sandra Oh hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time this weekend, but before that happened, she wanted to give a shout out to how and, most importantly, where it all started.
Good morning! pic.twitter.com/FtXB7Sxl9T
— Sandra Oh (@IamSandraOh) March 30, 2019
And she wasn't done. She also used her opening monologue to celebrated being a proud "Asian-Canadian-American," though she has yet to master the "American" part.
"It's not about the brag, @IamSandraOh, it's about the swag!" – @Lesdoggg #SNL pic.twitter.com/emDHsizUnP
— Saturday Night Live – SNL (@nbcsnl) March 31, 2019
Aside from the sketches, she did one more super-Canadian thing: she wore a CBC shirt.
Good morning to Sandra Oh and Sandra Oh ONLY ❤ #SNL pic.twitter.com/T0d0te8F53
— CBC (@CBC) March 31, 2019
Oh wasn't done, though. She wore another shirt while she closed out the show, featuring one of her own famous quotes. And it was perfect.
Thank you @IamSandraOh, @tameimpala, @ABFalecbaldwin, and Robert De Niro! Goodnight! #SNL pic.twitter.com/vp60MAEWP9

Comparison between CeFi, DeFi and ReFi in 2023
Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
You've probably guessed it by now, the acronym DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance.
The term refers to financial systems and marketplaces that are built on top of decentralized networks, mostly blockchain solutions.
DeFi is often associated with more innovative, experimental, and riskier financial products and services.
Decentralized finance is a relatively new concept that is still evolving.
It is based on the idea of using decentralized networks, such as blockchain, to create a more open and inclusive financial system.
In a DeFi system, there is no central authority that controls the system. Instead, it relies on a network of computers to operate and make decisions.
Examples of DeFi products and services include decentralized exchanges (DEXs), stablecoins, and decentralized lending and borrowing platforms.
DEFI is often seen as an alternative to traditional finance and is attractive to many people because it is perceived as being more transparent, open, trustless and secure.
Advantages of Decentralized Finance
The following are some pros or DeFi advantages.
Decentralized finance systems are often more innovative and able to offer new financial products and services that are not available in traditional finance systems.
Decentralized finance systems are often more transparent, as they rely on open, decentralized networks and smart contracts to operate.
Decentralized finance systems may be more secure, as they are not controlled by a single entity and are less vulnerable to fraud and abuse.
Decentralized finance systems may offer greater privacy, as they do not require users to disclose personal information in order to use them.
Feel free to add to this list in the comments.
Disadvantages of Decentralized Finance
The following are some cons or DeFi disadvantages.
Decentralized finance systems are often more volatile than traditional finance systems, which can make them riskier for investors.
Decentralized finance systems may be more complex and harder to use than traditional finance systems, which can make them less accessible to some people.
Decentralized finance systems are often less regulated than traditional finance systems, which can make them more risky and less trustworthy for some users.
Decentralized finance systems may not be as widely available as traditional finance systems, which can make them less accessible to some users.
How to use DeFi
Popular DeFi apps
Starting from 2020 onwards we have seen a huge increase in DeFi applications. We list some of the more popular DeFi uses, platforms and apps here.
PancakeSwap is one of the famous DeFi based Protocol which aims to provide Automated Market Making (AMM) by being a #1 liquidity provider. This open-source DeFi based exchange is built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) through which the platform users can swap BEP-20 tokens.
CAKE is the native token of PancakeSwap and the users can swap, add liquidity, farm, yield, stake, and win CAKE Tokens through lottery.
BakerySwap
BakerySwap is the all-in-one DeFi platform that provides both AMM and NFT Marketplace solutions in one place. Users can exchange tokens, provide liquidity, participate in liquidity farming, and also mint NFT and trade them.
Beefy.Finance
Beefy.Finance is a multichain Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Yield Optimizer project, that allows its users to make more crypto with crypto. DeFi applications are unique in the sense that they are permissionless and trustless, meaning that anyone with a supported wallet can interact with them without the need for trusted middlemen.

Q: A center div of 960px wide, I want divs on the left and right hand sides to fill the remaining space equally on both sides What is the best way ?
I had a look around and best I could find was specifying the left and right div widths.
Whereas I want the center div width specified, and the left and right to fit around that.

A: I don't think you are going to be able to do it without using JavaScript.
Example using jQuery:
$('#div1, #div3').css({width: $(window).width()/2});

Islanding occurs when a solar rooftop system continues to supply to a load even when the grid is down; this can be very dangerous. Therefore, when the grid is down, the inverter, used in the rooftop system solar power plant for generating solar energy for home/industrial/commercial roof top, stops supplying power. This is a technical requirement for inverters strictly mandated by CEA and MNRE. However, in view of frequent grid outages in most States, particularly in industry, commercial and institutional establishments, the rooftop system should be able to disconnect from the grid and continue to supply solar power to the loads of such establishments using a battery storage system or in synergy with the backup diesel generator, else the solar power will be wasted. This is possible through additional advanced features to be provided in inverters – the hybrid inverter which could work in the off-grid mode and continue to charge batteries which power certain loads, or the inverter can continue to function in grid-tied mode in synergy with the larger backup diesel generator. For most industrial, commercial and institutional establishments, the second option is more feasible as they have large existing backup diesel generators for their loads. Such backup facilities already have the required safety features which prevent reverse flow to the grid. Rooftop solar with the right type of inverter is, therefore, technically feasible even when the grid is down, and can also be more cost-effective compared to costlier diesel generation. For harnessing the full potential of rooftop solar as envisioned by Government, CEA and MNRE should consider allowing such 'intentional islanding' in rooftop projects and formulate technical specifications of inverters with such additional advanced features for automatic and safe operation.


White House maintenance work orders reveal that the historic building's grounds are plagued with mice, cockroaches and ants.
NBC 4 Washington, which obtained the hundreds of work orders, reports that there have been a number of requests to deal with vermin in the White House, including mice in the situation room and the White House Navy mess food service area.
Other requests reported cockroach infestations in at least four parts of the White House, and a colony of ants living in chief of staff John Kelly's office.
The number of requests for building maintenance and redecorating was similar to past administrations, NBC reports.
Some of the requests were more mundane in nature, including a redecoration of national security adviser H.R. McMaster's office and a new toilet seat for the Oval Office bathroom. That last request was directed to be completed "after hours please."
Former General Services Administration (GSA) Inspector General Brian Miller said that maintaining the aging presidential residence is a massive undertaking.
"It's an enormous job. GSA is assigned to manage that job," Miller told NBC. "GSA hires contractors and subcontractors for the [maintenance] work. Then the agency must watch over the contractors."
