For those dealing with constipation, who are experiencing dry, hard stool and straining upon defecation, there may be a simple home remedy that can relieve your discomfort.
Leafy greens are a rich source of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
If you are constipated, just a cup of any leafy greens will provide you a great amount of fiber.
Eat them raw or combine them with other foods and you may very well notice an improvement in bowel movements.
Leafy greens are easily one of the best home remedies for constipation.
Radishes are not generally recognized as a remedy for constipation.
However, this amazing vegetable helps to detox the liver and promoting peristalsis, the wave-like contractions of the colon that move stool along.
Radishes not only eliminate any excess bile from our bodies but they also help to relax the intestines when you're having a hard time defecating.
Aside from protein, legumes like navy beans, chick peas, lentils, kidney beans and soy beans have a lot of fiber and magnesium.
This magical vegetable is always available in the vegetable department of any grocery store. Fix them up any way you like, and legumes become a healthy and delicious way to help restore bowel function.
Of all the vegetables, broccoli is a star when it comes to fiber.
You can make it a side dish for salmon, or you can combine it together with other vegetables for wonderful relief of constipation.
Just one cup of broccoli has 5.1 grams of fiber.
Sweet corn is easy to cook and delicious to eat.
Not only is it packed with flavor, but it also has approximately 4.3 grams per cup.
Prunes are highly esteemed for constipation relief. This fruit contains both fiber and sorbitol, which makes it a natural laxative.
Sorbitol is a carbohydrate that softens and adds bulk to stool. When you are suffering from mild to moderate constipation, eat three handfuls of prunes in the morning (before breakfast) and in the evening (an hour before going to bed).
If you prefer prune juice, drink a glass of it in the morning and in the evening, and you will see how it can help to normalize bowel movements.
Eating too many prunes or drinking too much prune juice may result in diarrhea, so proceed with caution.
Berries are known as a great source of antioxidants, but who knew that they are also a good source of fiber and one of the great natural home remedies for constipation?
So eat some raspberries, blueberries, currants or strawberries to help relieve constipation AND nourish your body.
Apples can be a perfect fruit for relieving constipation. The skin of an apple has 3 to 5 grams of fiber.
That is why, when you eat an apple, wash thoroughly, then eat the skin with the flesh.
Aloe vera is known to treat a number of skin conditions, but it is also beneficial for treating constipation.
The high fiber content of this herb makes it a natural laxative to help bring gentle relief from constipation. You can add a glass of aloe vera juice to your favorite smoothie and take it each morning and evening.
However, not all aloe vera is the same. The latex, found in the skin of aloe leaves, is a powerful stimulant laxative that irritates the colon, stimulating it to contract and move stool along.
Aloe latex is habit forming, and should only be used occasionally.
Fenugreek is commonly known as a cooking herb, but its seeds can minimize stomach upset and help to relieve constipation.
You can buy it in supplement form, or cook this herb and add it to casseroles or soups.
Dandelion leaves are often made into a tea. If you want to relieve constipation without having to take a laxative, try drinking dandelion tea twice a day for a natural home remedy relief.
Its leaves are rich in fiber, plus they contain antioxidants that can help remove harmful toxins from the body.
Aside from its heart and blood vessel benefits, flaxseed oil can also relieve constipation. A good time to take flax seed oil is before breakfast on an empty stomach. Keep refrigerated to preserve freshness.
Flax seed is also an excellent constipation relief tool that is rich in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids. For an interesting treat, use a coffee grinder to turn flax seed into powder, then sprinkle it on food or even stir it into a glass of water and drink.
Castor oil is a common home remedy for constipation.
Its laxative benefit can help relieve chronic constipation in children. However, it should be administered cautiously, particularly in the morning, because it works quickly. Castor oil has proven itself to normalize the bowel movement.
Unfortunately, most people don't like the taste. But this can be overcome by mixing in a sweetener or a fruit juice.
Castor oil is not recommended for continued use.
A teaspoon of olive oil in the morning can stimulate the production of bile juice, which helps with proper digestion and elimination of food.
In fact, olive oil is one of the best home remedies for constipation, especially if you combine it with lemon juice or other fruit juice.
Did you know that dark chocolates may help to relieve constipation naturally?
Fortunately, this sweet treat is a great source of magnesium, a compound that relaxes the intestinal muscles and helps promote normal bowel movements. When buying dark chocolate, choose an organic one with at least 72% cocoa.
Milk chocolates and other types of chocolate don't work. In fact, they can actually cause constipation.
If you want better bowel movements, grab a cup of yogurt or a bit of Kefir in your grocery store.
Plain and organic yogurts and kefir contain probiotics, which are healthy bacteria that can promote proper digestion of food.
Whole grains are one of the most common and convenient sources of fiber. Look for whole grain pastas, cereals and breads. Bran cereals and muffins contain extra whole grain fiber.
However, some foods that say "whole grain" have very little whole grain in them. So check the label before buying because some of it.
Magnesium is one of the best ways to relieve constipation. It serves as a natural osmotic laxative that pulls water into the colon, helping stool to stay moist and soft.
A magnesium supplement can be taken daily in order to sufficiently keep the muscles of the intestines healthy. This is especially important for those dealing with chronic constipation.
Besides constipation relief, magnesium is a nutrient needed for energy production, blood glucose control, muscle and nerve function, and is needed in protein synthesis.
Taking 200 mg. to 400 mg. of supplemental magnesium each day helps to meet the body's requirement for this mineral.
Whether constipation is mild, moderate or severe, there are home remedies that may help.
Generally speaking, home remedies are more friendly to the body than medications. However, should constipation get worse, please see your doctor.

Around a third of all the energy that is produced in the Netherlands comes from Eemshaven. With an installed capacity of 8,000 MW Eemshaven is an energy port of note. Major energy producers have invested billions of Euros in new power stations; an oil terminal was built; Google is extending its immense data centre; and Eemshaven houses the largest wind park on land in the Netherlands. The port also plays a prominent role in the development of wind parks at sea during their construction and the subsequent maintenance of the wind turbines. Eemshaven lives and breathes offshore wind. The port has become a base, marshalling and service port for offshore windfarms especially in the German neighbouring part of the North Sea. Eemshaven is geographically well-situated for the offshore wind activities in the North Sea. Moreover, Eemshaven meets all maritime requirements and has the facilities regarding the assembly and shipping of wind turbines. IMPRESSIVE TRACK RECORD Since 2009 Eemshaven plays an important role regarding assembly and shipping activities of wind turbines, which results in an impressive track record of wind farms launched from Eemshaven: successively Alpha Ventus, Bard Offshore I, Borkum Riffgat, Borkum Riffgrund I, Trianel Windpark Borkum, Global Tech I, Gemini, Gode Wind I & II, Veja Mate, Race Bank (UK), Nordsee One and Merkur Offshore. Currently the wind farms Borkum Riffgrund II and Hohe See are launched from Eemshaven as well as Albatros. In the near future many offshore wind projects in which Eemshaven could fit as base, marshalling or service port are planned.

The specific goals of this project are to: (1) assess resistance to drought, flooding, salt, and low nutrient stress in cultivated sunflower and its wild relatives using traditional and high-throughput phenotyping approaches; (2) associate variation in abiotic stress resistance with specific genes, regulatory networks, and/or causal variants; (3) determine the mechanistic basis of stress resistance via physiological and transcriptomic characterization of genotypes with divergent stress responses; (4) address major biological questions concerning the types of genes, their network positions, and the nature of physiological trade-offs involved in the evolution of abiotic stress resistance; (5) identify suitable stress resistance alleles (i.e., those exhibiting resistance in multiple genetic backgrounds, ideally with minimal tradeoffs) for use in sunflower breeding programs and potentially for improvement of other oilseeds; and (6) explore strategies for addressing significant negative impacts of international treaties on the use of plant genetic resources by private and public sector breeding programs in Canada and worldwide as part of our Genomics and its Ethical, Environmental, Economic, Legal and Social aspects (GE3LS) research. The subaward to ARS will focus on goals 1, 2, and 5 above, but will involve coordination with investigators working on the other portions.
The ARS investigator will contribute the following to the team: 1. Co-Develop a multispecies, advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population which includes USDA breeding program germplasm (already transferred under MTA), released lines, and wild species from the USDA Plant Introduction collection. USDA will assist in the intermating and line development processes as well. 2. Conduct salt tolerance testing on a uniformly saline soil in the Fargo, ND, area. This may be done in partnership with NuSeed Americas, another cooperator on this project, or by USDA independently. Factors to be investigated are seedling vigor, plant height, visible damage due to salts, yield, and oil of the lines per se. 3. Consult on the analysis of the data in the framework of association mapping and joint AM-QTL analysis. 4. Contribute knowledge of the breeding system and marketing of sunflower to the team to maximize impact of any inventions that result from the work.

#21 Building Awesome 8-bit Adventure Games with Microsoft Bot Framework v4
The Microsoft Bot Framework helps you create intelligent bots to naturally interact with your users over various channels, such as websites, Cortana and Skype. But you can create even more interesting scenarios!
Being big fans of both bots and classic 8-bit point-and-click adventure games, we wanted to see if we could build such a game using the Microsoft Bot Framework. After all, the mechanics of classic adventure games are very much like interacting with a bot. This is especially true for the earlier text-based adventure games. The result is our Game-a-Tron 3000(tm) game engine which uses various Bot Framework
features in combination with an HTML5 client to recreate the look and feel of the golden-era adventure games such as Monkey Island.
We will show how the game engine was created, how the games can be played through different channels, and how we created a better user experience by adding LUIS for language understanding. You will learn how you can utilize the Bot Framework for your own scenarios while feeling nostalgic for the good old days when games came on floppy disks and graphics were more pixelated!

Year 12 English Language
Unit 3: Language variation and social purpose
In this unit students investigate English language in contemporary Australian social settings, along a continuum of informal and formal registers. They consider language as a means of social interaction, exploring how through written and spoken texts we communicate information, ideas, attitudes, prejudices and ideological stances.
Students examine the stylistic features of formal and informal language in both spoken and written modes: the grammatical and discourse structure of language; the choice and meanings of words within texts; how words are combined to convey a message; the purpose in conveying a message; and the particular context in which a message is conveyed. Students learn how to describe the interrelationship between words, sentences and text as a means of exploring how texts construct message and meaning.
Students consider how texts are in influenced by the situational and cultural contexts in which they occur. They examine how function, field, mode, setting and the relationships between participants all contribute to a person's language choices, as do the values, attitudes and beliefs held by participants and the wider community. Students learn how speakers and writers select features from within particular stylistic variants, or registers, and this in turn establishes the degree of formality within a discourse. They learn how language can be indicative of relationships, power structures and purpose through the choice of a particular variety of language and through the ways in which language varieties are used in processes of inclusion and exclusion.
Area of Study 1 Informal language
In this area of study students consider the way speakers and writers choose from a repertoire of language to vary the style of their language to suit a particular social purpose. They consider the features and functions of informal language in written, spoken and electronic interactions, understanding that the situational and cultural context of an exchange determines the language used.
Students examine the features that distinguish informal language from more formal language. They understand that informal language often lacks the carefully planned structure of formal texts and may play an important role in building rapport. They examine how users of informal language may be idiosyncratic in their linguistic choices and structure texts in a non-linear way, and they explore the role of colloquialisms and non-Standard English in establishing informal registers. Students study texts in which speakers use informal language including conversations, narratives, monologues, interviews and unscripted commentaries. They also examine informal texts produced by writers, including narratives, advertisements, journals, notes, and electronic or other written interactions involving one or more participants. Students consider features of 'chat' associated with both speaking and writing, such as a reliance on sequencing, cooperation and turn-taking, as well as features that are particular to each mode. Students learn that speakers have at their disposal a support system of prosodic and paralinguistic cues that they can use to organise and present information. They explore how writers may choose to rely on abbreviations, spellings which reflect pronunciation and prosodic patterns, emoticons and context-speci c graphemes. Both written and spoken informal texts may contain non-fluency features, ellipses, shortened lexical forms and syntactic complexity.
Students investigate how informal language can be used to meet and challenge others' face needs, both positive (the need to be liked, respected and treated as a member of a group) and negative (the need to be autonomous and act without imposition from others); how informal language choices can build rapport by encouraging inclusiveness, intimacy, solidarity and equality; and how informal language features such as slang and swearing patterns are important in encouraging linguistic innovation and in-group membership.
Outcome 1
On completion of this unit the student should be able to identify and analyse distinctive features of informal language in written and spoken texts.
To achieve this outcome the student will draw on key knowledge and key skills outlined in Area of Study 1.
Key knowledge
the role of Standard and non-Standard English in creating formal and informal texts
differences in the nature and functions of formal and informal texts
the relationship between the context and the features of language in informal texts
the role of discourse features and lexical choice in creating textual cohesion and coherence in informal written texts
stylistic features in informal speech and writing, including phonological patterning, syntactic patterning, morphological patterning, and lexical choice and semantic patterning
features of spoken discourse and major discourse strategies used by speakers and the ways in which cooperation can be achieved
the use of informal language for various social purposes, including:

Area of Study 2 Formal language
In this area of study students consider the way speakers and writers choose from a repertoire of language to achieve a particular purpose. As with informal language, the situational and cultural context determines whether people use formal language and in which mode they choose to communicate.
Students examine the features and functions of formal language, particularly in literature and the public domain. They understand that formal language, in all modes, tends to be less ambiguous, more cohesive, and is more likely to make explicit aspects of the presumed context. They examine formal texts, exploring how writers and speakers are more likely to consider how their audience might interpret their message, packaging it appropriately with attention to the art of rhetoric, including the use of gurative language. Students learn that formal written texts are more likely to have been edited while formal spoken texts may have been rehearsed. They examine such formal written texts as legal documents, bureaucratic policy and procedures, of cial documents, informational prose, and literature. They also examine formal language in spoken texts such as speeches, lectures, oaths, liturgies, performances, and monologues. Formal speech has many of the organisational and stylistic features of written language, but also draws on paralinguistic features such as gesture and eye contact and prosodic cues such as pitch, stress and intonation.
Students investigate the range of ways formal language can be used to perform various social purposes. They investigate how formal language can be used to meet and challenge others' face needs, both positive and negative. Formal language choices, particularly politeness strategies, can also reinforce social distance and relationship hierarchies, or build rapport. Similarly, varieties such as jargon can reinforce the user's authority and expertise or promote in-group solidarity.
Students examine texts in which speakers and writers use formal language to celebrate and commemorate, and they explore how formal language can be used to clarify, manipulate or obfuscate, particularly in public language – the language of politics, media, the law and bureaucracy. Students learn that formal language enables users to carefully negotiate social taboos through the employment of euphemisms, non-discriminatory language, and political correctness. They explore how variations in style reveal much about the intentions and values of speakers or writers, as well as the situational and social contexts in which formal texts are created.
On completion of this unit the student should be able to identify and analyse distinctive features of formal language in written and spoken texts.
the nature and functions of formal and informal texts
the relationship between the context and the features of language in formal texts
the features and functions of formal writing and formal speech as represented in a range of texts from literature and the public domain
the role of discourse features and lexical choice in creating textual cohesion and coherence in formal spoken and written texts
stylistic features in formal speech and writing, including phonological patterning, syntactic patterning, morphological patterning, and lexical choice and semantic patterning
the use of formal language for various social purposes, including:
– reinforcing social distance and authority
– establishing expertise
– promoting social harmony, negotiating social taboos and building rapport
– clarifying, manipulating or obfuscating
metalanguage to discuss formal language in texts.
use key linguistic concepts as they relate to formal language in texts
use key concepts and metalanguage appropriately to describe and analyse formal spoken and written language
in an objective and a systematic way
analyse the effect of formal contexts on language choices
analyse the nature, features and functions of formal texts
evaluate features of language in the public domain.
School-based assessment Satisfactory completion
The award of satisfactory completion for a unit is based on whether the student has demonstrated the set of outcomes specifed for the unit. Teachers should use a variety of learning activities and assessment tasks to provide a range of opportunities for students to demonstrate the key knowledge and key skills in the outcomes.
The areas of study and key knowledge and key skills listed for the outcomes should be used for course design and the development of learning activities and assessment tasks.
Assessment of levels of achievement
The student's level of achievement in Unit 3 will be determined by School-assessed Coursework. School-assessed Coursework tasks must be a part of the regular teaching and learning program and must not unduly add to the workload associated with that program. They must be completed mainly in class and within a limited timeframe.
Where teachers provide a range of options for the same School-assessed Coursework task, they should ensure that the options are of comparable scope and demand.
The types and range of forms of School-assessed Coursework for the outcomes are prescribed within the study design. The VCAA publishes Advice for teachers for this study, which includes advice on the design of assessment tasks and the assessment of student work for a level of achievement.
Teachers will provide to the VCAA a numerical score representing an assessment of the student's level of achievement. The score must be based on the teacher's assessment of the performance of each student on the tasks set out in the following table.
Contribution to final assessment
School-assessed Coursework for Unit 3 will contribute 25 per cent to the study score.
Outcomes Outcome 1
Identify and analyse distinctive features of informal language in written and spoken texts.
Analysis of one or more samples of informal language in any one or a combination of the following:
a folio of annotated texts
an essay
an investigative report
an analytical commentary
short-answer questions.
Assessment tasks may be written, oral or multi-modal. The total suggested length of the student responses should be approximately 600–800 words or equivalent.
Marks allocated* 50
Identify and analyse distinctive features of formal language in written and spoken texts.
Analysis of one or more samples of formal language in any one or a combination of the following:
External assessment
The level of achievement for Units 3 and 4 is also assessed by an end-of-year examination, which will contribute 50 per cent
Unit 4: Language variation and identity
In this unit students focus on the role of language in establishing and challenging different identities. There are m varieties of English used in contemporary Australian society, including national, regional, cultural and social variations. Standard Australian English is the variety that is granted prestige in contemporary Australian society and it has a role in establishing national identity. However, non-Standard English varieties also play a role in constructing users' social and cultural identities. Students examine a range of texts to explore the ways different identities are constructed. These texts include extracts from novels, lms or television programs, poetry, letters and emails, transcripts of spoken interaction, songs, advertisements, speeches and bureaucratic or of cial documents.
Students explore how our sense of identity evolves in response to situations and experiences and is in uenced by how we see ourselves and how others see us. Through our language we express ourselves as individuals and signal our membership of particular groups. Students explore how language can distinguish between 'us' and 'them', creating solidarity and reinforcing social distance.

This area of study enables students to examine the range of language varieties that exist in contemporary Australian society and the contributions these varieties make to a construction of shared national identity. Australian English has much in common with Englishes from other continents, but the language has also developed features across all subsystems of language that distinguish it from other Englishes.
Students explore how the Broad, General and Cultivated Australian accents re ect the society from which they emerged and the forms that achieved social prestige over time. However, Australia is not linguistically uniform, and contemporary texts in both written and spoken modes both challenge and construct notions of what it means to be Australian and what might be meant by 'national identity'. Increasing global contact, the in uence of modern technologies and other social changes are shaping contemporary Australian English, and attitudes towards Australian language continue to evolve.
Students examine how Standard Australian English, as the variety of Australian English afforded prestige by public institutions, has played a pivotal role in establishing the legitimacy of Australian English in comparison to other national varieties of English. They explore how the non-Standard English varieties operating in Australia provide further dimensions to Australian English. They consider variation between regions, a range of migrant ethnolects, and Aboriginal Englishes, in addition to exploring how the language features associated with stereotypes may be adopted subconsciously or deliberately employed to establish or challenge identities.
On completion of this unit the student should be able to investigate and analyse varieties of Australian English and attitudes towards them.
the role of Standard and non-Standard English in Australian society
the ways in which a variety of Australian identities are constructed and re ected in a range of texts
the characteristics of Australian English in contrast to Englishes from other continents, in phonological, morphological, lexical, and grammatical patterns
the features of Broad, General and Cultivated Australian English accents
how Australian English varies according to geography, including national and regional variation
how Australian English varies according to culture, including Aboriginal English and ethnolects
attitudes within society to different varieties of Australian English, including prescriptivism and descriptivism
the role of language in constructing national identity
metalanguage to discuss varieties of Australian English.
use key linguistic concepts and metalanguage appropriately to discuss language variation and identity in Australia in an objective and a systematic way
use key concepts and metalanguage appropriately to analyse attitudes to varieties of Australian English in an objective and a systematic way
investigate and analyse how Australian identity is constructed and re ected in a range of written and spoken texts.
Area of Study 2 Individual and group identities
In this area of study students focus on the role of language in re ecting and constructing individual and group identities. They examine how language users are able to play different roles within speech communities and to construct their identities through subconscious and conscious language variation, according to age, gender, occupation, interests, aspiration and education. While individual identity can be derived from the character traits that make us unique, our social identities are drawn from membership of particular groups. Students investigate how, as individuals, we make language choices that draw on our understanding of social expectations and community attitudes.
Students examine overt and covert norms in speech communities. They consider how knowing and being able to exploit overt norms – which are typically associated with Standard English – allows users to construct a prestigious identity associated with their class, education, occupation, social status and aspirations. They also consider how covert norms – those that are given prestige by local groups and are typically associated with non- Standard English – can be powerful in constructing identities, establishing those who use them as members of the 'in' group, while those who are unable to conform are cast as outsiders. The language features associated with jargon and slang also provide a powerful basis for inclusion and exclusion.
Students learn how societal attitudes, personal associations and individual prejudices can lead to social disadvantage and discrimination against use of non-Standard English dialects and accents.
On completion of this unit the student should be able to analyse how people's choice of language re ects and constructs their identities.
social and personal variation in language according to factors such as age, gender, occupation, interests, aspirations and education
features of language that contribute to a sense of individual identity and group membership
representations of individual and group identities in a range of texts
the ways in which the language of individuals and the language of groups is shaped by social expectations and community attitudes
the ways in which people draw on their linguistic repertoire to gain power and prestige, including exploiting overt and covert norms
the relationship between social attitudes and language choices
metalanguage to discuss representations of identity in texts.
use key linguistic concepts and metalanguage appropriately to discuss the relationship between language variation and identity for both individuals and groups in an objective and a systematic way
use key concepts and metalanguage appropriately to analyse attitudes to varieties of English in contemporary Australian society in an objective and a systematic way
explain and analyse how group and individual identities are constructed and re ected in a range of written and spoken texts.
The award of satisfactory completion for a unit is based on whether the student has demonstrated the set of outcomes speci ed for the unit. Teachers should use a variety of learning activities and assessment tasks to provide a range of opportunities for students to demonstrate the key knowledge and key skills in the outcomes.

The Raging Royal.
The sun had begun to kiss the horizon and the sound of hoofsteps could be heard approaching the royal bedroom. John jumped off of the chair he sat on and waited, unsure if it was a guard or the princess herself. Each step closer made the author more skeptical by the second, each step felt like they rang through John's ears.
He turned and gazed at Ditzy, she was quietly and calmly sleeping on Celestia's bed. Underneath all the silken sheets, light snores could be heard. John gave the sleeping mare a small smirk as he saw the adorable lazy-eyed mare snoozing. He returned his attention to the door once he noticed that the hoofsteps had vanished. The large golden doors began to glow with a radiant yellowish tinge of magic and seemingly dissipated into thin air. A tall ivory alicorn strode through with a grand smile, which quickly faded as she caught sight of John.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Celestia. John gave a quick bow in respect before answering.
John looked up and gave the white mare brief nod,"Ditzy and I are looking to get me home. I'm not supposed to be here, and without Darkmoon here to..." The white mare launched a ball of light from her horn and he was struck to the ground, left wincing in pain.
"What have you done to Dark! Where is he! Tell me!" The white alicorn continued to cast these spells at John. Quickly thinking, the author leapt onto his feet and found cover behind objects within the room. He first hid behind a dresser but it was destroyed and turned into wood chips as the first blast impacted. The shock of the spell hitting the dresser launched John through the air and crashed him into the edge of the bed. He dove over top Ditzy as she slowly came out of her sleep from the sounds echoing throughout the room. He grabbed hold of the grey mares arm and pulled her over the edge, just as a spell came into contact with the mattress. The spell struck the middle of the mattress and it begun to catch fire.
The strange couple knelt behind the bed, finding security within it. "What's going on?" asked the grey mare. John just gave her a simple explanation.
"She might be a little mad that Dark's gone, I couldn't tell her the rest." The fire had begun to spread on the bed and he found opportunity in it. "Ditzy. Do you trust me?" John asked.
"Yeah, why? What's going on?" asked the grey mare. He didn't answer her and signalled her to follow him. John stood and faced the raging princess and took a deep breath.
"I'm just trying to get home!" screamed John.
"What did you do to Dark?!" replied the princess, followed by another powerful spell. John quickly took hold of the mattress and lifted it up to block the spell. As the spell struck the mattress, it seemed to absorb the impact and spread the fire further.
"What are you doing?!" asked the grey mare.
John gave her a quick look and a nod,"No, the question is 'Where we're going'. If you trust me, hold on. Tight." The grey mare wrapped her arms around John's body as he begun to push the flaming mattress. The further he moved the mattress, the greater his momentum became. He rammed the mattress into the balcony doors, nearly crashing into Celestia. As the duo rammed through the door, John leapt off the edge with Ditzy. "Ditzy! fly!" John yelled.
The grey mare spread her wings but they couldn't support the weight of the two. Instead of gracefully landing in a nearby field, the fall was only slowed to a crash landing. As Ditzy stood to her hooves, she turned to face the towering castle in the distance,"We're in so much trouble."
John could feel a hint of regret smouldering inside his heart, but what he did was necessary. "Well, I tried to explain it to her but after I told her Dark was gone.."
"You told Celestia that Dark was simply gone? You do realize the two princesses brought him here to protect this land right?"
"Of course I knew that! I'm the one who created him in the first place!"
"Well then you should start wording your 'Conversations' better! Did you at least tell her what happened to Dark?"
"I couldn't, once I told her that Dark was gone and that I was trying to get home, she started opening fire on me."
She had an look of disbelief, the situation the two had been thrown into. Angering a princess and soon...an entire continent."Well this is just fantastic!" Sarcasm, John didn't realize the grey mare knew it. "What in Celestia's name are we gonna do now? I can't move to a new home, they'll all be looking for us!"
John finally stood to his feet and dusted himself off,"I'm sorry Ditzy, for what I've done. But there is a silver lining on my black rain cloud."
"What silver lining? What possible 'good news' could you have?" The grey mare was furious at John, and he felt that he deserved every moment of her anger.
"Their looking for me, the 'supposed' Guardian slayer. They won't be looking for you." He gave her a light smile. "If you want, you can return to your life. I promise you that I Will fix this, and I'll bring Darkmoon back. You just have to trust me."
"Do you really think.. that I could?" The anger had left her mind and her words were calm. "But I couldn't just.. leave."
John gave the grey mare a warm hug and looked into her eyes. "Ditzy, you're a wonderful mare. But this is something I'd rather not drag you into... Goodbye for now." And with those simple words, the grey mare vanished into thin air. John had sent her to Ponyville with the power of the quill. He could have used it to calm the princess, but the severity of the situation blocked all communication with it. As for his current situation, he couldn't fix it on command because the damage had already been done. Soon everyone would be searching for him, and no place would be safe. He needed to find a place to stay until he calmed things down with the princess, but where? His train of thought was derailed once he found the best possible place.
He turned and begun walking through the field, heading towards the direction of Mystic Mountains. "Hope your ready for the real me Chrysalis. I know I'm not."

MacKinnon extends Hamilton stay
By Matthew Treadwell
Last Updated: 20/02/19 6:02pm
Darian MacKinnon has extended his Hamilton contract until next summer
Hamilton captain Darian MacKinnon has signed a contract extension with the Scottish Premiership club until the summer of 2020.
MacKinnon, who did not start playing professional football until he was 26, has been at the club since 2012 when he joined from Clydebank Juniors.
The 33-year-old has scored 13 goals in 234 games for the Accies and also helps coach the U16s squad.
"It didn't take me any time to decide to sign the new contract – it was a no-brainer," he told the Daily Record. "The fact that I'm doing some coaching helped as well.
"I've grown to love the club, I think everybody knows that, and the fans have been excellent with me.
"You don't want to overstay your welcome but I think I have another couple of years in me yet.
'Foreign refs in Scotland a non-starter'
SFA sources have told Sky Sports News that any proposal to introduce foreign referees into Scottish football would be a 'non-starter'.
"There were a few times that I could have moved on for better money, but money isn't everything in football.
"At Accies they've really looked after me, and it means a lot that they want me to stay after I've finished playing. Talks with the chairman, Allan Maitland, were very positive.
"The club have put me through my [coaching] badges and paid for it all, and they've told me they want me to stay on after I've finished playing. For all those reasons, it was a no-brainer to sign the extension."

Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2021) new date confirmed
Africa|Business|Export|Health|Safety|Services
The second Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2021) is now set to take place from 8 to 14 December 2021. African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), the African Union (AU) and the Government of Rwanda have decided to shift the date of the continental trade fair, which was previously scheduled to hold from 6 to 12 September 2021, to allow for a broader roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines across the continent and ensure that the event is held under the most optimal health conditions.
The decision was made at the extraordinary meeting of the IATF2021 Advisory Council held virtually on 18 March 2021. The new date will enable organizers to take stock of all the latest safety precautions, allow for wider roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines and to put in place effective COVID-19 safety and prevention protocols.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, IATF2021 Advisory Council Chairman and former President of Nigeria, said that the new date would also give countries and businesses more time to prepare for IATF2021.
"Our intent is that all participants garner the full benefits of the abundant networking, trade and investment opportunities that will arise at IATF2021. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a lot of enthusiasm for the event. The extra time given to preparatory activities and effective roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines will allow IATF2021 to be held under favourable conditions, giving more confidence to participating governments, exhibitors, buyers, conference delegates and other visitors," said Chief Obasanjo. "IATF2021 will bring together continental and global players to showcase and exhibit their goods and services, and explore business and investment opportunities enabled by the single market created by the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) to accelerate Africa's integration and industrialisation agenda," he added.
Organised by Afreximbank in collaboration with the African Union and hosted by the Government of Rwanda, IATF2021 will play a crucial role in assisting and enabling businesses and corporates across Africa to share trade and market information and conclude business deals that are critical in supporting the implementation of the AfCFTA.

How Did Dave Chappelle Meet His Wife Elaine
Dave Chappelle etched his identify within the hearts of many together with his fresh-off-the-boat humor. Many individuals knew him from the notorious Chappelle's Present on Comedy Central.
Chappelle is an open e-book on many fronts, however little is understood about his spouse.

Regardless of all of the hardships and points they've endured, the couple has nonetheless managed a low profile.
Right here's all you'd wish to know Dave Chappelle and his spouse, Elaine.
A post shared by THE URBAN LEAK (@theurbanleak)
The Filipino Elaine Chappelle was born in 1974 and grew up in Brooklyn. Elaine is precisely a yr youthful than Dave, her husband.
Elaine wished to change into a chef however opted to take a seat at dwelling and lift the couple's three kids, Sulayman, Ibrahim, and Sanaa.
How Did Dave Chappelle Meet His Spouse Elaine
Dave Chappelle met Elaine in Brooklyn whereas nonetheless struggling to determine himself as a humorist.

Dale Fincher is currently doing a series on spiritual abuse on his blog. (In fact, his whole blog may be about spiritual abuse—I'm not sure.) He talks mainly about his own experiences. I admit, this isn't something I like to talk about for several reasons. First, I generally try to stay away from speaking negatively about anyone specifically. Second, spiritual abuse can be a complicated subject. Third, people who have been hurt by this can be quite bitter. While rightly angry, it can be challenging to listen to, especially when trying to stay away from bashing others, as mentioned in point one.
Nevertheless, I think it is an important subject to address. It's part of the idea behind this series, "Shrewd as Snakes". As I mentioned before, many things pastors, preachers, priests, and other religious leaders say can sound very good and religious—even biblical—but be quite wrong. Most of them have had years in the system being trained in these ways of thinking, whether conscious or not. So unfortunately, it may be very difficult for people to see the problems with the spiritually abusive paradigms. This is why I think it's valuable to address. Dale does a good job of clearly describing some of the spiritual abuse and explaining the problems with it. We need more people who can recognize it and not put up with it. Unfortunately, spiritually abusive people and organizations generally surround themselves with people under their control, and kick out anyone who questions or rebels.
I don't feel that I have experience significant spiritual abuse personally. However the conservative Christian culture I grew up in is closely related and influenced by the more conservative voices, sharing some of the language and teaching at times.
Here's one video and blog Dale recently shared.

Q: What are spin-2 spherical harmonics and why are they needed? A function $f(\theta,\phi)$ (with $\theta,\phi\in \mathbb{S}^2$) can be expanded in terms of spherical harmonics $Y_{l.m}(\theta,\phi)$. Recently, in this Particle Data Group review titled Cosmic Microwave Background by D. Scott and G. F. Smoot, I've come across a term called spin-2 spherical harmonics.

*

*How are they different from or related to ordinary spherical harmonics?

*What kind of functions requires expansion in terms of these objects? I read that the linear polarization pattern of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) can be expressed using spin-2 spherical harmonics.

*Do they have anything to with Spin-weighted spherical harmonics or Spin spherical harmonics?

A: The usual $Y_{lm}(\theta, \phi)$ functions represent a scalar value at each point on the unit sphere.
But that's not sufficient to represent e.g. polarized light incoming. That required a more complicated representation at each point that just a scalar.
Couldn't you just use separate functions, e.g. $Y_{lm}^H(\theta, \phi)$ and $Y_{lm}^V(\theta, \phi)$ to represent the "horizontal" and "vertical" components of polarization?  It's a subtle point, but no, you can't.
First, it's hard to uniquely define the basis for those $Y^H$ and $Y^V$ functions: What are their directions for H and V at the pole?  All directions are south from the north pole.
Second, and what's really going on in the first point, is that there are continuity constraints for the polarization (more generally, for the tensor value at each point) that need to also be expandable in the representation.
Michael Boyle's 2016 paper "How should spin-weighted spherical functions be defined?" does a great, if somewhat formal, job of covering this in the cosmological context.

Five Years After Daesh Unleashed Genocide In Iraq: Survivors Are Still Waiting For Their Homes
Ewelina U. Ochab Contributor
Five years after Daesh unleashed genocide in Iraq, survivors are still waiting for their homes and villages to be rebuilt.
In her five-point action plan presented at the recent Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize laureate called for "investing in reconstruction and sustainable development initiatives." She pointed out that funds are required to rebuild housing and basic infrastructure in the region; "Without international funding targeted to development in Shingal, stability cannot be achieved."
Ilham Dakhel Ali, an 18-year-old Yazidi woman, stands in the doorway of the shelter she shares with... [+] her mother and youngest brother in Khanke IDP camp in Dohuk Governate, Iraqi Kurdistan, March 25, 2019. Ilham and her family were kidnapped by ISIS in 2014.

The destruction to the region caused by Daesh requires that a substantial amount of work be done to rebuild houses and general infrastructure. Some work has already been done by humanitarian organizations and states, including the U.S., Hungary and Poland, who are at the forefront of providing assistance directly to the affected communities.
During the first Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom in July 2018, Vice President Pence announced the establishment of the Genocide Recovery and Persecution Response program. Over the course of last year, the Genocide Recovery and Persecution Response has been introducing various projects aimed at helping those affected by Daesh, for example, establishing employment opportunities, or helping women to build up their confidence and resilience after experiencing rape and sexual violence. Furthermore, at the second Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom (in July 2019), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced new humanitarian aid for Iraqi religious minorities consisting of an additional $27 million in humanitarian assistance for ethnic and religious minorities in the Nineveh Plains and Western Nineveh Province. This brings the total U.S. assistance for persecuted ethnic and religious minorities in Iraq to $373 million (since Fiscal Year 2017).
Poland is very clear that they want to provide assistance on the ground and in doing so, respect the culture, the religion and the background of any individual that requires help. Poland has been providing this aid to all independently of their religion or belief, with a particular focus on minorities persecuted for their religion by Daesh, namely Yazidis and Christians. Among others, Poland is funding humanitarian aid that is being distributed in Iraq via a charity EagleWatch. Poland is also funding several projects that aim to create jobs and ensure that people can engage in meaningful employment and be self-sufficient. For example, one of the projects in Sinjar assists in building farms for locals. Another project helps to create new jobs in small trade and local craft to give people a possibility of resuming their professional lives, professional lives that were frozen since Daesh's attack in 2014. As explained by Minister Michal Wos at the Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, Poland is working to ensure that the communities are resilient and independent from external assistance.
Another substantial donor is the new Hungarian initiative, Hungary Helps, that has been providing significant assistance to persecuted Christians (although they have been expanding the scope of their assistance to also include Yazidis, and hope to provide aid to the Rohingya Muslims displaced to Bangladesh). Similarly to Poland, Hungary provides humanitarian aid directly to the affected communities cutting out any unnecessary intermediaries. Among others, Hungary Helps has been providing humanitarian assistance to the communities targeted by Daesh and funding to rebuild villages in the Nineveh Plains. In addition, Hungary Helps provides assistance to the persecuted, including a scholarship to students from these persecuted communities to continue their education in Hungary.
Apart from these three countries that place the assistance of communities persecuted by Daesh at the heart of their humanitarian work, there are several other states and non-governmental organizations extending their helping hands. However, considering the damage done by Daesh, a lot will need to be done before the communities and the area will be ready to return to the usual business. For example, Yazda, an organization assisting Yazidis persecuted by Daesh, identified the need to provide better medical assistance to the survivors of Daesh atrocities or provide it at all. Survivors need expert medical assistance to deal with trauma such as sexual abuse, torture and bereavement. This assistance is urgently sought. As reported by Yazda, "suicide is on the increase, and many survivors are voicing suicidal ideation."
In the aftermath of the Daesh genocide, the affected communities must be assisted so that the genocidal atrocities combined with our failure to provide assistance do not take their toll.

Open Hillel conference inspires national change
Nicole Zelniker & Sara Minksy, Senior Writer & Photo Editor
Hundreds of students flocked to Harvard University for over 50 speakers, dozens of conversations and one life-changing weekend. Together, students from schools all over the country organized the first Open Hillel conference.
"There are only three Open Hillels in the country," said Brown graduate Lex Rofes '13. "It started toward the end of 2012."
The Open Hillel movement began at Harvard and spread to Swarthmore, Vassar and Wesleyan. After Harvard, Hillel was unable to collaborate with other campus organizations due to national Hillel policy, which bans cooperation with organizations that support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or deny the right of Israel to exist.
"Because of Hillel International's guidelines for cooperation, we could never do anything with Guilford's Hillel," said junior Students for Justice in Palestine President Walid Mosarsaa.
Because of Hillel International's pro-Israel stance, some students feel like their views aren't welcome.
"Hillel is supposed to be an organization centered on Jewish life," said Mosarsaa. "Not everyone believes in a two-state solution. Not everyone believes in a one-state solution."
Campuses that have opened their Hillels have engaged students of all different political beliefs regarding Israel and Palestine.
"Let's think about where our students are and how we can support them in thinking and growing and going deeper and offering them challenges to help them get a better grasp of where they are," said Swarthmore junior Joshua Wolfsun at the conference.
Students from campuses far and wide came to Harvard on October 11th to learn about the growing movement, including students from Guilford's Students for Justice in Palestine and Hillel.
"This was a very comfortable space for everyone," said sophomore and Hillel President Leah Whetten-Goldstein. "It's all inclusive."
Even though conference attendees learned many different views about Israel and Palestine, the opportunity to listen to other voices is something that students would not have been able to do through Hillel.
"The panels wouldn't have been able to exist at my Hillel," said Rofes. "They included voices that would have been barred. I'm not a Jewish Voice for Peace supporter. I don't support all aspects of BDS, but I gained a lot from listening to that perspective."
Rabbis, authors, Jewish organizations, professor, and more spoke out about the conflict in the Middle East. Speakers from all sides were invited, although right-wing groups declined the invitation.
"You're the ones being left out of the conversation now," said Mosarsaa. "They're fearful of their beliefs being shattered, which is not what this conference is about. It's about everyone's beliefs being respected."
Regardless, panels covered a wide range of opinions.
"Just because someone is more on the left side doesn't mean you agree," said Whetten-Goldstein. "There was a whole range of opinions."
Although not all schools have opened their Hillels, student organizers Wolfsun and Swarthmore senior Hanna King shared their experience opening Hillel.
"Being there and watching (students) discover the notion that there is a place for them where they can freely express those questions as a Jew … has been amazing," said Wolfsun.
In spite of the challenges, Swarthmore Hillel has never regretted their decision to open.
"There are times when I think it would have been easier (to be a closed Hillel), but never when I think that would have been a better decision," said King.
Whether post-Zionist or anti-Zionist, Jewish or Palestinian, for BDS or against it, Open Hillel showed those at the conference that all voices should be heard.
"This is something we could have only dreamed about," said Editor of Tikkun Magazine and Senior Columnist at Al-Jazeera International Mark LeVine at the conference. "Things have changed for the better since I was a college student."
At Guilford, the conference will be a catalyst for change.
"I feel optimistic about the future of Hillel and SJP at Guilford," said Whetten-Goldstein.

Carlos Miguel Augusto May Figueira (29 de Setembro de 1829 – 28 de Maio de 1913) foi um médico português do século XIX, e professor da Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Lisboa. Deve-se a May Figueira a introdução dos estudos de microscopia em Portugal, que promoveu na década de 1860.

Tendo nascido em Lisboa, concluiu o curso de Medicina pela Universidade de Coimbra, após o qual seguiu para Bruxelas onde se doutorou em 1855. Antes de regressar a Portugal, frequenta no Collège de France o curso do microscopista Charles Robin e passa ainda por Londres. Em 1859, aos 30 anos de idade, ingressa no corpo docente da Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Lisboa, tendo sido regente da cadeira de Anatomia por um ano, e da cadeira de Clínica Médica por vinte. Nesta posição, exerceu uma decisiva influência no ensino e na prática médica, por ter estando entre os primeiros a compreender a importância do laboratório em clínica e a introduzir o uso de métodos laboratoriais como instrumentos de diagnóstico.

O seu interesse pelo microscópio fez de May Figueira um dos precursores dos estudos em Histologia em Portugal: neste sentido, organizou na Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Lisboa, em 1863 e em 1864, cursos sobre o assunto, muito avançados para a época, e frequentados por estudantes e professores.

'We are eternally grateful': Cork family thanks Conor McGregor for helping to supply crucial medical equipment as part of GoFundMe pledge
The O'Leary family in Cork have thanked Conor McGregor for a surprise donation of medical equipment.
By John Balfe - 1 Feb 2021
Last month we brought you the story of how Conor McGregor's surprise donation of €5,000 left a Cork family in "complete shock" amid a money-raising drive launched by the O'Leary family to raise much needed funds for medical supplies for Catherine O'Leary who was suffering from locked-in syndrome.
The O'Leary's noted McGregor's surprise donation online, writing at the time in a Twitter post: "Wow! To see this pop up on our screen this morning was a complete shock! We're all blown away by your generosity. Thank you so much."
Detailing the equipment required by Catherine, they explained further: "Catherine requires ear sensors due to the issues with her fingers, and only the newer models of the Vital Signs Monitors allow for this. Without the monitor, staff are unable to monitor Catherine's vital signs such as Oxygen Saturation Levels, Heart rate and Blood Pressure."
And now, around a month or so later, the O'Leary family has announced that they have reached their milestone.
A post shared by Patrick O'Leary (@p.oleary7)
"Without Conor's donation, and the publicity which followed — we wouldn't have met the target so quickly and would not have been able to purchase the monitor just yet," said Patrick O'Leary, brother of Catherine.
"On behalf of myself, my parents and my entire family — we are eternally grateful and would like to thank the public, and especially Conor, and his entire team who facilitated this."
McGregor's donation comes amid a spate of philanthropic drives he has launched in recent times. A little under a year ago he oversaw the delivery of €1 million of personal protective equipment and other much-needed medical supplied in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic in Ireland, while his top-selling Irish whiskey, Proper No. Twelve, has set its mission statement around donating money to first responders across the globe.
Furthermore, McGregor also recently outlined a donation of $500,000 to Dustin Poirier's 'Good Fight Foundation' which is aimed at providing facilities to underprivileged youngsters in Louisiana.

Q: Does the class category of ZF-algebras satisfy the Multiverse axioms? I read with interest both Hamkins Multiverse Axioms and Joyal and Moerdijk's algebraic set theory. Both of these perspectives takes a set-theory universe as an object, and consider collections of set-theory universes. The former lives in the setting of first-order logic, while the later lives in the setting of category theory (specifically monads and algebras).
Has there been an attempt to compare these theories? In particular (I hope the following is a well-founded question), does Hamkins' Multiverse axiomatize (the set-theory part, i.e. ignoring the intuitionistic and topos theoretic part) the class category of ZF-algebras?
I'm not too familiar with both these theories, but I have a great interest in Foundations. I would be thankful for more detailed comparisons beyond the particular question that I ask.

A: My understanding of algebraic set theory is imperfect, but I am given to understand that what is involved is some kind of category consisting of class models of set theory. To formalize it, I would want to ask the question in the context of a background set theory, such as GBC or some other second-order set theory, where one has a universe $V$ of ZFC, and the corresponding family of classes of $V$, which satisfy the GBC axioms of set theory. Let me assume that the intended category is included within the family of these classes that are models of some fragment of ZFC, that is, classes of the form $(W,E)$, where $W\subset V$ is a class of objects and $E\subset W\times W$ is a binary relation on $W$ satisfying the ZFC axioms. And furthermore, allow me to assume that $(V,\in)$ itself is supposed to be one of the models in the intended category.
If this understanding of the situation is correct (and please correct me if it is not), then there will be problems with several of the multiverse axioms, and they will not all hold in this setting. Let me mention a few of the problems.
First, the forcing extension axiom will fail (see my paper The set-theoretic multiverse for the axioms). This is the multiverse axiom asserting that if $W$ is any universe and $\mathbb{P}\in W$ is a forcing notion in $W$, then there will be a corresponding $W$-generic forcing extension $W[G]$ with $G\subset\mathbb{P}$. If $V$ itself is one of the universes, however, then there will have to be classes in $V$ that represent forcing extensions $V[G]$ by nontrivial forcing notions $G\subset\mathbb{P}\in V$. But this is impossible, since no such generic filters $G$ can exist in $V$, and therefore no such class can exist in $V$. (There is a more subtle sense in which one can have such classes, if one uses the Boolean ultrapower understanding of forcing, by which one has an elementary embedding $j:V\to\overline{V}$ such that in $V$ there is a $\overline{V}$-generic filter $G\subset j(\mathbb{P})$, but this is not quite the same thing.)
The previous argument assumed that $V$ was one of the universes in the intended category. One could weaken this just to the assertion that there was some universe $W$ in the category that had the true $\omega$ and also some uncountable sets in it. In this case, the forcing to collapse those sets to $\omega$ would be a forcing notion in $W$, but could have no $W$-generic filter in $V$, since any such filter would really collapse those sets to become countable, which they are not in $V$, and so there would be none of the required forcing extensions of $W$ in the category. Basically, the forcing extension axiom asserts that one must really reach outside the current set-theoretic background to achieve it, and so if one builds the category of universes inside the set-theoretic background, one will not have the generic objects available.
Similar reasoning shows that many of the other multiverse axioms will fail for this category. For example, some of the multiverse axioms imply that every universe is a countable transitive model inside another universe of the multiverse. But again, if the category of universes includes any actually uncountable transitive universes, then this is impossible inside any class model of $V$.
Further problems arise for such a category of universes with the well-founded mirage axiom, which asserts that every universe is seen as having a non-standard $\omega$ by another universe in the multiverse (one of the more controversial axioms). This axiom will fail if the category of universes is to include any model with what is to the $V$ perspective the standard $\omega$, since $V$ can have no class model that looks upon the true $\omega$ of $V$ as ill-founded, since then $V$ itself would look upon its own $\omega$ as ill-founded.
Meanwhile, in my paper A natural model of the multiverse axioms with Victoria Gitman, we prove that if ZFC is consistent, then the collection of computably-saturated countable models of ZFC is a model of all the multiverse axioms (and furthermore any collection of models of set theory satisfying the multiverse axioms must consist entirely of computably saturated models). Many of our arguments in that paper involve the kind of algebraic treatment of models of set theory that I naively expect to be a part of the analysis in algebraic set theory, and so my expectation is that if there are bridges to be built or discovered between the two perspectives that you mention, I would expect to find them there, in the realm of collections of highly saturated models of set theory.

A: I think the two theories should be regarderd as existing at different levels.  A category of classes, in the sense of algebraic set theory, is not a collection of models of set theory, but (an abstraction of) the collection of all classes relative to one model of set theory.  In particular, if $V$ is a model of set theory, then the collection of all classes in V is a category of classes.
One can then, if one wants, define a notion of "internal model of set theory" inside a category of classes, and in the "canonical" example this would just be the notion of a class-model of set theory relative to $V$.  The model $V$ itself is recoverable as the "initial" such internal model.  Joel's excellent answer explains why such a collection of "internal models" will not generally satisfy the multiverse axioms.
