Government in 2019 announced that it has extended the validity period of Ghana's passport from five years back to 10 years.
The decision to increase the validity was welcomed by many Ghanaians after over 10,000 online signatures were collected to impress on government to increase the five-year validity.
Ghanaian passport booklets used to be valid for 10 years until it was changed to five years.
There has also been a review for fees required for the attestation of legal documents from GHS25 to GHS37.50.
Travel certificates will also now cost GHS37, up from GHS25.

Ghanaian passports are issued exclusively by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to Ghanaians granted citizenship in accordance with the Ghanaian nationality law.
There are three types of passport booklets – contemporary (regular), service, and diplomatic passports.

Ghanaian passport booklets are valid for travel by Ghanaians anywhere in the world, although the holder may need to obtain a visa from the destination country when travelling for some purposes.
No one person is allowed to hold more than one valid Ghanaian passport of the same type.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that National Democratic Congress (NDC) flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama has intimated that the practicality in running an economy is different from text book knowledge.
The former president in a Facebook live section on his page noted that he has been vindicated.
According to Mr. Mahama, he was right when he suggested that President Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia did not have the requisite competence to run Ghana's economy.

Headed out for my third Reading Parkrun on my own this morning. My wife hasn't been sleeping too well, so I left her in bed this morning whilst I went off on another of my barefoot adventures.
I had a relatively good run today. I had intended on running at a consistent pace in the region of 3:48 to 3:54, but after a relatively quick first kilometre (I still don't go out gently enough), I started feeling a bit tired and settled in at a more relaxed pace. Finished off with a fast last km with a near-sprint at the end. Still managed a sub-20 so I'm happy. This run also tipped me over the 400km of running this year.
I'm running the Forest Five on Wednesday evening (probably in huaraches rather than barefoot as it's all offroad) and I'm on the early shift again next week, so I may not be up for another Parkrun next week, but I'll see how I feel.


NAVER Academic > Efficacy of oral hyposensitization in allergic contact dermatitis caused by nickel.
Efficacy of oral hyposensitization in allergic contact dermatitis caused by nickel.
Background. Nickel contact allergy remains common in Western countries, and the dermatitis may require prolonged treatment. The development of new strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of affected individuals is needed. Objectives. To investigate the efficacy of oral hyposensitization in nickel-allergic individuals and how this affects in vitro T cell responsiveness to the metal. Methods. Twenty-eight nickel-allergic patients received a daily dose of 50 g of elemental nickel (given as NiSO46H2O) in cellulose capsules for 3 months. Severity of clinical manifestations, in vivo nickel responsiveness and in vitro T cell responses to the metal were assessed after 1 and 3 months. Results. Twenty-six patients finished the study. In these patients, oral hyposensitization ameliorated clinical manifestations despite continued nickel exposures, and increased the threshold of skin responsiveness to nickel. The 12 enrolled patients in the immunological study showed decreased in vitro T lymphocyte responsiveness to the metal, in terms of both cell proliferation and cytokine release. In the 1-year follow-up, 50% of the patients experienced relapses of the clinical manifestations at sites of topical exposure to nickel. Conclusions. Our study suggested therapeutic efficacy of oral hyposensitization in allergic individuals. Placebo-controlled studies are required to confirm the results and determine the optimal therapeutic regimen for prolonged beneficial effects.


I'm very happy about the collected editions coming up. My library is in sore need of TMNT comics, and I will be a happy camper when I can fill my teens requests for editions we can shelf! WOOOT!
Very awesome, and this is what I miss you drawing the TMNT.
p.s. I really hope you change your mind and come to the San Diego comicn I'm moving out to California right before the event and I have a gift for all of the mirage crew and would like to give them to you guys in person but I'll understand if your not up for the trip I can always send it to mirage.
Sweet. I am looking forward to the collected editions.
But, pardon my ignorance, but what does "tipped in" mean?
Och well, I guess making new paragraphs doesn't work when i'm on my new toy - am writing this on me blackberry..
Also, I meant to ask, are you at all a Doctor Who fan? I remember a post with the Fugitoid running through a svrapyard, and there was a robot from Doctor Who there..
I just ordered some recent tpbs from panel to panel yesterday. I'm guessing this will be a tipped in book plate for some future tpb that hasn't been announced yet?
That's pretty darned awesome! I take it that this is the panel to panel exclusive for the collected issues 1-11?"
I think so. I gotta few books from them on order at the moment, can't wait to get 'em! They bookplates are great.. Is it just me or is the background there rather Kirbyesque? Michael Tough"
I meant to ask, are you at all a Doctor Who fan? I remember a post with the Fugitoid running through a svrapyard, and there was a robot from Doctor Who there.."
Nice work. How did you do the tones? Via computer? Ink? I'd like to try your technique myself.
Nice work. How did you do the tones? Via computer? Ink? I'd like to try your technique myself."
I hope it's not an erroneous entry at least... and if not, I wonder if I'd be able to get a commission...?!
-->> ..no it's gonna be a toss - up decision. buying this from the local shop .. ( the collected book ) or buying the P2P version.
Pre-ordered mine before I even knew the bookplate was coming! This just sweetens the deal :) Thank you, Mr. Laird, on behalf of TMNT fans everywhere.
I hope it's not an erroneous entry at least... and if not, I wonder if I'd be able to get a commission...?!"
Ha ha ha! I searched google for Graphics duo-shade board and guess what link popped up? Palblog!
I'm sorry to hear you won't be attending, I had hoped to finally be able to meet you. Perhaps best if someone contacts the organisers to remove your name then. Will all the other Mirage guys be present?
I'm disappointed -- Comic-Con's listing had me all excited.
Any chance you can be bribed?
Mica, i'm not sure what 'Tipped-in bookplate' actually means, far as I can tell, its a wee card print of limited numbers which have been signed by various TMNT folks..
Very nice, i've gotten myself all they panel to panel ones to date!
"I am a "Doctor Who" fan, though I haven't seen much of the new series. I really liked Tom Baker as the Doctor -- he was my favorite of all of them. -- PL"
First of all, I love the artwork for the P2P edition. I think I'm going to pick one of these books up.
Second, I'm also disappointed to hear that you won't be attending SDCC, Peter. I saw your name listed on the Comic Con magazine along with the rest of the Mirage crew and got uber excited... Very sad news. I was really hoping to get the chance to finally meet you.
DARN! I was all set to meet you! I am sorry to hear that you aren't coming after all-- I trust that the rest of the listings in Artist's Alley are correct, and the others will be there-- but it would have been SWEET to meet you in person.
I'm not sure where you saw my name listed as appearing at this year's San Diego Comicon, but it is an inaccurate listing -- I am not planning to go. -- PL***Oh, that is saddening to hear. I'm traveling to SDCC from Western Australia, specifically for the 25th anniversary of the TMNT, and I was hoping to have the opportunity to meet you. But if it cannot be, it cannot be.
Emma, great to see another Aussie going! I remember there was a place in Sandy that actually has Timtams for sale there. I laughed my arse off when I saw the price though.
I am currently working on artwork for my comic and would love to emulate the look of the DuoShade boards that you guys used for the Turtles digitally (in Photoshop or Illustrator). I've seen a few (by that I mean one and some random posts) "tutorials" online but I haven't been satisfied with the results. Does anyone know of a good tutorial on how to do this or have experience with it? I simply love the way the old B&W Turtle books looked and would love to experiment with something similar as my book will also be B&W. Thanks to any and all who can help.


2015's punniest opening has to be Ramen Hood, Ilan Hall's vegan ramen joint that he dropped after shuttering The Gorbals. The place debuted on November 6th, and takes over a stall that was once slated for Alvin Cailan's Ramen Champ. Running things on a day-to-day basis here is Indian-Korean chef Rahul Khopkar, a former line cook at The Gorbals who left the restaurant in 2012 to attend the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. He also interned at Lucques during his stint at the CIA, cooked at Archetype in Saint Helena following graduation, staged at Noma, and worked a couple months at Birch and The Stocking Frame before joining the Ramen Hood team last September.
Ramen Hood's menu is tight, with just two types of ramen along with a handful of small plates. Click for larger versions.
First up was my favorite of the sides. There was a nice textural contrast with the actual tofu, and I appreciated the deep, pastor-esque spiciness of the dish. I got a good zippiness and contrast from the bits of onion, too.
Given that we were at GCM, beer was definitely called for, starting with a crowler of the 2016 Civil Society DankStar, an American pale ale hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Columbus. Excellent balance of bitterness and floral notes on the nose, while the palate showed off a hoppy bite that transitioned to a sweet, fruity, floral character toward the close.
We went with the original ramen, and it did not upset. The broth was key and served as a great base to the dish. Made with long-simmered kelp and shiitake combined with white miso-roasted sunflower seeds, it showed off some really satisfying umami-slash-nutty flavors as well as a pleasing viscosity. Noodles, meanwhile, were springy and supple, and I was a big fan of the crunch and brightness from the bean sprouts and bok choy. Lovely meatiness and savor from the disks of mushroom, too. A strong effort.
Here we had the 2013 Founders Sweet Repute, a wheat wine ale aged 16 months in a combo of bourbon barrels and bourbon maple syrup barrels. Aromas on this one were decidedly sweet, honeyed, malty. Taste brought a sugary, candied quality, with just a trace of bitterness and a lingering booziness on the back end.
Given my penchant for pickles, I had to try Ramen Hood's trio. Most bracing was the tomato, which came out super sour, super acidic (too much so, I'd say). The crunchy jicama was the mildest, while the cauliflower displayed some nice textures along with a forceful astringent character.
Our third bottle was the 2015 The Bruery Terreux Elements of Funk: Brettanomyces Lambicus, a wild blonde that was last in a series of four beers meant to showcase the differences between four strains of Brett. Think sweet 'n' fruity on the nose, with a palate veering surprisingly malty and a touch floral, the finishing conveying a somewhat out-of-place bitterness and booziness. The weakest of the quartet for me, actually.
A bánh mì-inspired poutine didn't really taste much like its namesake sandwich, though it worked decently enough. There was definitely an unexpected sweetness underpinning everything, and curiously, one of my dining companions even likened its taste to that of Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles.
Understandably, I was a bit skeptical at the whole notion of vegan ramen coming in, but left pleasantly surprised. The noodle soup ate well, with some gratifying, comforting flavors that exceeded our expectations. I really didn't feel like I was missing out despite the lack of any animal products--pretty impressive.
I thought it was so plain and average, I tried it twice when they opened, haven't bothered to go again.
Nice write-up, thanks! I liked your notes on the beer pairing. I ate there six months ago and loved it!
Charlie: Huh, I dunno, maybe they've improved since then? All four of us who had the ramen quite enjoyed it.
Rob: Thanks Rob. I think the food here really does call for beer.
fume hood is the best equipment of kitchen because it absorbs all the thins like vapors , gases so after seeing its uses researchers are also used it in lab, get detail of it by fume hood manufacturers in india.


Sorry, I was the thumbs down. But I disagree; Black hat tax avoidance? Hardly. I feel like demanding almost 30% of revenues should be considered morally wrong! Cudos to them for mainly operating out of a country that is literally "right next door," but charges them less then half the taxes. Ever played SimCity? Same thing happens there, raise taxes and businesses leave; or just don't move in the first place.
Great article! Required reading for noobs(like me)! Not exactly the same info, rather its more in-depth, and covers many many more techniques for viewing the kind of traffic and keywords that your site captures. Again! A must read!
Another great whiteboard friday! I'll be marking this little tidbit down in my notes.
I gotta say, I've been a techie kinda guy my whole life(although more on the programming side, less web), but I havent heard of SEO until about a month ago... But thanks to whiteboard friday, all the great posts, great tutorials, and great user base that actually puts in their, quite undervalued, two cents... I feel quite educated on the subject now. And although I still have much to learn, I definitely wouldn't have learned anywhere near as much if you guys didn't make all this information freely available. So i guess that was pretty much my very long winded way of saying... Thanks!

These Were the 10 Best Stocks of 2019
Seven biotechs led the way.
Taylor Carmichael
(TMFSaintCroix)
Jan 6, 2020 at 12:13PM
Taylor Carmichael is a former attorney and filmmaker. He's the author of a line of murder mysteries, including Whodidit in the Supreme Court? and Whodidit With a Senator? The majority of what he knows about stocks he learned right here at the Motley Fool.
The top 10 stocks of 2019 are an interesting group. You might think tech stocks would dominate the upper echelon of equities, but you'd be wrong. As we saw in the IPO market, individual healthcare stocks actually had the strongest returns last year. Seven biotech companies made our list, including the No. 1 stock, which had a stratospheric 3,578% return in 12 months. A medical device company had a fantastic year as well. Rounding out the field is a website for finding the best insurance rates, and a retailer.
Using Peter Lynch's lingo, investors in these stocks had no worse than a seven-bagger and as much as a 36-bagger in 2019. To put a cash number on that, if you invested $5,000 in each of these stocks at the opening price on Jan. 2, by the closing bell on Dec. 31, your $50,000 investment would be up to $581,778.
Here are the top 10 stocks by market return in 2019:
10. ArQule (up 625%)
It was a rocket ride last year for investors in ArQule (NASDAQ:ARQL): up, down, and into the stratosphere. The precision medicine biotech has a pipeline that is focused on cancers and rare diseases. The small-cap stock started the year at $2.75. In December, Merck agreed to buy the company for $20 a share.
ArQule was a high-flying biotech back in the 20th century, with shares trading for $40 at the high. The stock's been underwater for a couple of decades. In 2017, shares dropped under $1. Investors who bought at that price made out like bandits. (Of course, investors who bought at the high are still underwater.)
9. IVERIC bio (up 627%)
IVERIC bio (NASDAQ:ISEE) used to be called Ophthotech. The company has always focused on eye drugs, with very little success. It went public in 2013 with its shares priced at $23.06. After a couple of phase 3 failures, IVERIC dropped down to a micro-cap level, bottoming out at under $1 a share.
A positive readout from a phase 2 trial of its eye drug Zimura in late 2019 was enough to boost the stock substantially. In two months, the company went from a penny stock all the way up to over $8 a share, and a market cap of $357 million.
8. Durect (up 691%)
Durect (NASDAQ:DRRX) is a small-cap specialty biotech that is focused on pain drugs and stopping opioid abuse. In July, the stock started to jump when an English biotech, Indivior, got approval for a drug it licensed from Durect. In September, Elemer Piros, an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, initiated coverage of Durect with a price target three times higher than the share price; the stock shot up.
In December, the stock really took off as the market got excited about Posimir, the company's pain drug. The Food and Drug Administration scheduled an advisory committee meeting for Jan. 16 to review the company's application.
7. Avita Medical (up 719%)
Avita Medical (NASDAQ:AVMXY) is a medical technology company in Australia that is focused on regenerating skin for burn victims. The small-cap company ($868 million) is seeing astronomical revenue growth off of a very small base. Revenue jumped from $1.1 million to $7.7 million in the most recent quarter, year over year. Motley Fool Australia reports this was the strongest stock in Australia for 2019. The company's solution was cleared in the U.S. by the FDA in late 2018. Analysts estimate the total addressable market to be around $2 billion.
6. EverQuote (up 725%)
EverQuote (NASDAQ:EVER) has a terrific platform with powerful network effects. The small-cap is striving to become the largest online source for insurance rate quotes. The company is partnered with several major insurers, including Progressive, Travelers, Nationwide, MetLife, Farmers, and Liberty Mutual. Revenue growth is 61% year over year, and the company just attained GAAP profitability. And the stock is still cheap, with a price-to-sales ratio of 4.
5. Provention Bio (up 741%)
Provention Bio (NASDAQ:PRVB) is another small-cap biotech with a giant return for investors in 2019. Provention is focused on the diabetes space, a sizable $57 billion market opportunity. It has an amazing drug in phase 3 trials that delays or even prevents Type 1 diabetes from occurring in at-risk patients.
The risk-reward ratio is very attractive here. Provention's market cap is slight ($710 million), while its market opportunity is huge. The stock has doubled since November. And yet the market still seems to be underestimating how big this opportunity is.
4. Kodiak Sciences (up 919%)
Kodiak Sciences (NASDAQ:KOD) had its IPO back in 2007, and the stock has been underwater ever since. The biotech has no approved drugs, no earnings, and no revenue. And pessimism was very high. All that changed with the progress of its promising eye-disease drug, KSI-301, in advanced clinical trials. The data was so good, the company was able to sell a royalty right to Baker Brothers Advisors for $225 million. In a matter of months, Kodiak's market capitalization shot up to a $3 billion valuation.
3. Stage Stores (up 941%)
Stage Stores (NYSE:SSI) is one of the big turnaround stories of 2019. The retailer's stock performed horribly for a long time. The share price was $28.73 in 2013, but over the next six years, it was in free fall, dropping all the way to $0.66 a share in August 2019. And then the company announced an upbeat earnings report and the stock shot up.
The next quarter was actually stronger. CEO Michael Glazer said:
Sales were the strongest for any third quarter ever in our history. Comp sales were positive every month and sequentially grew each month. Merchandise margins improved by over 100 basis points.
The company still has a lot of debt and is not completely out of the woods. But it definitely seems like it's on an upswing. In November, the company reported its first profitable third quarter (EBITDA) since 2015. And that's why the stock ran up 941%.
2. Constellation Pharmaceuticals (up 1,066%)
Like the rest of the stocks on this list, Constellation Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CNST) was trading under $10 a share at the beginning of the year. In fact, shares opened at $4.04 on the first trading day of 2019. That price had the cancer specialist down 61% from its IPO six months earlier.
The stock rebounded early in the year for a quick double. But when Constellation reported good news from its phase 2 clinical study of CPI-0610, a drug for myelofibrosis, the stock really took off. It was a quick eight-bagger in two months.
1. Axsome Therapeutics (up 3,578%)
Axsome Therapeutics (NASDAQ:AXSM) has been an astounding stock all year long. The main driver is that the scientists at Axsome figured out a sneaky way to get its anti-depression (and anti-smoking) drug past the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Wellbutrin, a popular anti-depression drug that is off patent, has trouble passing the BBB. This means that only slight traces of the drug actually reach the brain, limiting its effectiveness.
The active agent in cough syrup, dextromethorphan, easily passes the blood-brain barrier. Axsome's insight was to take the two drugs and combine them into a cocktail. Piggybacking on the cough syrup, more of Wellbutrin reaches the brain, making it more effective. Just like that, the company discovered a new drug for depression, one that is superior to Wellbutrin alone.
Even better, Axsome could rely upon prior trial data since both Wellbutrin and cough syrup are already on the market. This means that Axsome has been able to zoom its billion-dollar molecule through clinical trials at an incredibly rapid pace.
So here's how each of these 10 stocks started and finished 2019:
Opening Price on Jan. 2, 2019
Closing Price on Dec. 31, 2019
Axsome Therapeutics $2.81 $103.36 3,578.29%
Constellation Pharma $4.04 $47.11 1,066.09%
Stage Stores $0.78 $8.12 941.03%
Kodiak Sciences $7.06 $71.95 919.12%
Provention Bio $1.77 $14.90 741.81%
EverQuote $4.16 $34.35 725.72%
Avita Medical $1.11 $9.10 719.82%
Durect $0.48 $3.80 691.67%
IVERIC bio $1.18 $8.58 627.12%
ArQule $2.75 $19.96 625.82%
While these stocks all had huge runs in 2019, for the most part they remain small caps and have plenty of room to grow. Many of them are valued under $1 billion. And the largest of them, Axsome, is still under $4 billion. While there will no doubt be some profit-taking in January, the long-term future of several of these companies appears bright.
In particular, EverQuote looks like a fantastic business that investors want to keep an eye on. Axsome and Durect are optimistic about possible drug approvals in 2020. And Provention Bio seems profoundly undervalued compared with its outsize market opportunity.

The beginning of a New Year often triggers thoughts about doing new things. Of course, thoughts about doing something new and different aren't the same as actually doing something. Our lack of success in following through on New Year's resolutions is a pretty good indicator of that! That failure can often be traced back to people doing things they really don't want to do. Remodeling your Naples home, however, isn't like that. It's probably something you actually want to do. So let's look at some ways to jumpstart your next remodel in 2019. Here are some ways to turn your wanting into doing.
There are plenty of reasons you may want to remodel your Naples-area home. Things do wear out or get dated with time. Maybe your family dynamics have changed or the way you entertain has shifted. Perhaps you're looking ahead to changing personal needs and want to make your home safe and comfortable for the future. All of those are good reasons to remodel—but are you prepared for that kind of undertaking? Here are 4 signs that you're ready to remodel.
If you live in the Naples area there's a good chance you were more than willing to give up building snowmen in the winter in favor of building a sandman on the beach. But as the population of the area grows in the winter (as it does every year), you may be looking for some small escapes now and then. Here's a look at some Naples winter getaways that you can take advantage of during "high season" in the region.
We all want to put our best foot forward when entertaining over the holidays. Part of doing that means having your Naples home look its best when guests arrive. While there's not enough time to complete a major remodeling project between now and the end of the year, here are some small projects to prepare your home for the holidays.
There's no question that we do winter and Christmas a little differently in Naples. Nobody thinks twice about seeing Christmas lights on a palm tree around here! We firmly believe that you don't have to be cold to get into the spirit of winter or Christmas. So what kinds of events do residents around here engage in while their friends and families up north are shoveling snow? Here's a quick overview of some of the best 2018 winter/Christmas events in Naples, Florida.
"To pool or not to pool—that is the question." It may not be one of Shakespeare's greatest lines, but it's a good question for homeowners in the Naples area. After all, pools and Florida homes just seem to go together. And while there is no state law requiring Floridians to install pools in their homes, a lot of residents do. In fact, it's been reported that 40 percent of all single-family homes sold in Sarasota County in 2015 had private swimming pools.

Rollins lands kids' TV role with Amazon
By Stef Lach
Henry to appear in pilot for show which features music by former Pumpkin James Iha
Henry Rollins stars in a pilot episode of a series being considered by Amazon.
The Black Flag icon plays the role of Coach Carlucci in A History Of Radness – a children's show following the lives of aspiring young musicians. It is one of a number of pilot shows being broadcast on Amazon Instant Video this summer.
Amazon customers will be invited to watch and give feedback on the pilots to help decide which ones become full series on the Amazon Prime service.
A History Of Radness also features narration from Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds and a score by former Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle guitarist James Iha.
Rollins most recent screen role was as a cast member of hit TV show Sons Of Anarchy.
Amazon's Tara Sorensen says: "These new pilots will bring sophisticated stories and unique points of view that we hope will resonate well with kids and families. We're very excited to be working with such passionate creative teams and look forward to sharing these projects with our customers later this year."

The interdepartmental service centre for Electronic Microscopy and Microanalysis (M.E.M.A.) of the University of Florence was estalished in 1989. In 2008, it has updated its instrumentation and now has at its disposal a ZEISS EVO MA15 microscope equipped with OXFORD INCA 250 microanalysis .
The laboratory serves the Department of Earth Sciences, the Museum of Natural History and the Department of Industrial Engineering.
The lab is equipped with a LabRam IR – Horiba Jobin Yvon spectrometer.
Raman spectroscopy employs a quantum phenomenon (the Raman effect), whereby various materials diffuse a light radiation emitted by a laser source at different frequencies than that of the monochromatic incident bundle.
This spectroscopy is therefore a non-destructive technique, since the material being analysed is subjected to the action of a light source with no additional treatment (neither chemical nor physical) during the preparation of the sample. The presence of a motorized table allows Raman maps to be obtained.
The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a particularly useful technique to investigate existing chemical bonds within the materials. When an infrared photon hits a molecule it can induce a change from a fundamental state to an excited vibrational state. Since the changes between vibrational states are typical of certain bonds and certain substances, this technique can recognize many substances.
The instrument works both in ATR (Attenuated Total Reflection) mode and in mirrored or diffused reflection mode.
Both techniques, being prominently complementary, allow the analysis of a wide array of substances, organic, inorganic, solid and liquid.
This laboratory offers its services to third party users, such as other research institutes, private firms etc.

With decades of experience mixing music, Berklee College of Music professor Susan Rogers is a multi-platinum record producer who worked on hits such as Prince's "Purple Rain." Her new book is titled "This is What it Sounds Like: What the Music You Love Says About You," which she co-authored with Ogi Ogas.
The book explores the seven dimensions of music that can give listeners a "jolt of pleasure," Rogers says. Four apply to the music: melody, lyrics, rhythm and timbre, or the sound itself.
The other three esthetic dimensions apply to mediums like operas, movies, TV and novels. Authenticity speaks to "the expressive gestures are coming from," she says, and novelty versus familiarity depends on whether we prefer groundbreaking art or something more familiar. Finally, there's realism versus abstraction: preferring works that are grounded in reality or reflective of an imaginary world.
If you want to move your body, you select a song that makes you get up and dance. Or if you want poetry, you gravitate towards lyricists who resonate. And if you want to match or evoke a particular feeling, you select a record with a strong melody.
"Every single time we reach for that computer mouse or that button on our phone in order to play a song, that's indicative that your brain wants something. It's craving a certain kind of treat," Rogers says. "And it knows from past experience the records in your playlist that are going to deliver that particular treat for you."

Trade Secrets and Non Disclosure Agreements
Also known as Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), we review and draft contracts of trade secrets (in Mexico referred to as "industrial or commercial" secrets); as an indispensable tool for the successful completion of business models that require this special type of protection.
"Any industrially or commercially applicable information which a natural or legal person keeps and which is confidential in nature and associated with securing or retaining a competitive or economic advantage over third parties in the conduct of economic activities, and regarding which said natural or legal person has adopted sufficient means or systems to preserve its confidentiality and restrict access thereto, shall be considered a trade secret" (LPI).
Frequent examples of trade/industrial secrets are the confidentiality agreements used to implement architectural projects under a "know-how" (technical information generally unknown in the state of the art), or in non-disclosure agreements signed to have restricted access to the "testing" (proof of study) of new products before their mass commercialization.
They can also act as single clauses in contracts and agreements otherwise employed for the design and production of content whose disclosure could be highly detrimental to the company and/or the inventor; with diverse potential harmful effects, such as the destruction of novelty of an invention (in the "prior art"), or the unintentional disclosure of a literary and artistic work. In all these cases the employee or collaborator is committed to prevent the disclosure to third parties of the specific information protected under trade secrecy.
We supervise the drafting and subscription of this type of confidentiality agreements under itrade secrets, and adjust them to the specifications of our clients.

The Fracking Unknown

By Donald McKinley Allen
There are many things the citizens of New York State don't know about the Fracking for NG (natural gas) which is about to over-run the south central part of NYS known as the Southern Tier. But there is one thing which we do know; Governor Andrew Cuomo doesn't think he can be elected President of the United States in 2016 if he is opposed by Big Oil & Gas. So he is bowing to the power of Big O & G by lifting the current ban on Fracking. Cuomo must feel that the huge amount of money America's biggest dollar industry will throw against him will defeat him as it did Al Gore in 2000; if he stands in the way of their Fracking in the Southern Tier of New York State.
In 2000 Big O & G took George W. Bush, an unimpressive Governor of Texas, who was considered a political light weight and pretty much of a joke; and made him POTUS with their hundreds of millions of dollars. They conveniently provided him with Vice-President Dick Cheney, formerly the head of Halliburton the country's largest G & O service company. After Cheney's secret meetings with O &G executives, with Cheney in charge of American energy policy, Big O & G had the Republican Congress pass the 2005 changes to Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts; exempting the O & G industry from key section and severely limiting the EPA's investigative and enforcement powers. About a year later they announced the High Volume Slick Water Hydraulic Fracturing technique commonly known as Fracking. Big O & G needed the 2005 exemptions because Fracking uses millions of gallons of water mix with Fracking fluid which contains dozens of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. This Fracking fluid is injected in horizontal shafts running through the shale beds in order to crack open the rock and allow NG to be pumped out, along with some of the Fracking fluid. A lot of the Fracking fluid remains in the ground; where it can flows to anywhere. The drilled vertical shafts which connect up to a dozen or more horizontal shafts run up and through the drinking water aquifers above the shale beds. Any leak or accident in the vertical shafts can contaminate the aquifer with Fracking fluid or methane (NG) which they pass through. When and if this contamination is detected the cost and/or technology to clean the water could be beyond our abilities.
Big O & G then went on to Frack in Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Wyoming, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. In each place they Fracked there have been serious environmental problems. The wide range of these problems include; contamination of drinking water by methane or Fracking fluid; earthquakes and earth movement caused by the voids created and/or waste Fracking fluid injected under extreme pressure; surface infrastructure destruction; air pollution; gas explosions and a long list of other dangerous environmental, safety and health incidents.
Now Big O & G have their eyes set on the Marcellus Shale Play that underlies NYS's Southern Tier. NYS has had a moratorium in place for over two years while it has been trying to update its 20 year old Environmental Impact Study to accommodate what is becoming known about Fracking techniques and chemicals. Unfortunately Big O& G won't disclose the chemicals used in Fracking fluid, claiming they are "proprietary information", despite calls for disclosure from the Federal EPA. Absent the public knowing the contents of Fracking fluid, it is impossible to test water sources for the chemicals in advance of Fracking. This enables the Frackers to use their standard "they were there before" defense when toxins or NG components are discovered in water supplies. This not being able to know the details of the dangers is the catch 22 of Fracking.
Among the other many things NYS citizens don't know are; if as required in new DEC Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Study or SGEIS, the Fracking companies will comply with any mandatory (but not public) discloser of ingredients in their Fracking fluid to the DEC or lie as they did to the EPA in Texas. For twenty years Big O & G falsely told the EPA they were not using and dumping diesel fuel (which was banned) as part of the Fracking process. But when they were finally caught they confessed they were using it, dumping it and lying about it. Instead of paying a fine and decease from continuing the illegal use and dumping; Big O & G has used their economic influence with some Congress members to try and have the use and dumping of diesel fuel allowed by proposing more increasingly lax Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts exemptions.
Another thing New Yorkers don't know is; why Fracking is absolutely banned in the watersheds of New York City and Syracuse, which also have the Marcellus beneath, while in the Southern Tier the Fracker will be able to drill O & G industry proposed 5 to 10 thousand wells? Are the men, women and children of the Southern Tier less valuable, important or blessed than those in NYC or Syracuse? Or are there just fewer voters and mostly Republicans to boot. By banning Fracking in some water supplies the DEC and Cuomo is acknowledging the danger that Fracking poses to the water supply. What are they saying by allowing it other water supplies; that they don't care about the health, safe or well being of some citizens of NYS? And when the greed of Big O & G puts up more money; will the rights and property of the residents of Onondaga, Delaware, Sullivan and Ulster Counties and even NYC be offered as expendable for political or career reasons?
When the first SGEIS was released by the DEC about two years ago, it would have allowed the issuing of drilling permits under the 20 year old rules; despite the fact that the DEC had only 17 inspection personnel for the proposed 5 to 10 thousand wells. In a NYS which has twisted its budget into a pretzel, cutting or limiting in almost every area of public employment to try to make it balance; how realistic is the likelihood that the necessary number of the hundreds (or even thousands) of new inspectors and other personnel will be hired and trained in order to adequately monitor the activities at 5 to 10 thousand wells? When it come to an industry which is notorious for playing fast, loose and dirty for quick profits, having the appropriate investigation, enforcement and oversight structure in place and well funded is paramount; but NYS ability and motivation is this regard is unknown.
A reasoned consideration of all the unknowns about the consequences of allowing Fracking should have lead to Cuomo extending the moratorium, if not announcing an outright ban on Fracking until at least the Federal EPA completes its comprehensive investigation and report on the dangers of Fracking, which is currently underway. However it looks like Cuomo's political plans are in conflict with his sworn duty to protect the people of NYS; and his political aspirations have overwhelmed his moral compass. Cuomo has abandoned the vast majority of New Yorkers and have left us to defend and protect ourselves from those who would destroy our communities and way of life.
Fortunately the final chapter(s) of the struggle of the people of NYS to stop the Frackers and their allies from having their way is still unknown. We still have the right to vote and that enables us to do what we need to keep Fracking from ruining NYS. We can find fellow citizens to vote for who will respect and serve the citizens of their communities. Who, as representatives of their constituency in the State Legislature, can put into effect a moratorium or ban on Fracking, at least until we all know the results of complete and comprehensive studies. We can also replace Cuomo as Governor with someone who is only beholding to the citizens of NYS and not out to curry favor with, get contributions from and do the bidding of the likes of Big O &G and Wall Street Gangs. After a well deserved defeat in his re-election campaign, because of his turning his back on the well being of his constituents; Cuomo's prospect of achieving his goal of becoming POTUS will be appropriately about nil. The one thing the people all across New York need to know and do know is that; if there is the will, there is a way to protect and save ourselves and our state!

The article deals with new original hypothesis of geographical names formation in the territory of the north-western Belarus and eastern Lithuania with the basics of "copper/medz", "mjad-" (Mjadzel, Mjadzelka and the like). The author connects their origin to the name of the people "honeys/medy", which in the days of Aleksandr Makedonski lived in the valleys of the rivers Struma and Strumnitsy in the south-western part of present-day Bulgaria. To escape from the pressure of more powerful neighbors, the people "medy" (or part thereof) moved into the territory of modern Belarus. As evidence the author presents historical facts and clear toponymic parallels that create a fertile ground for further research in line with the selected hypothesis.


Foundation for Initiatives in Development and Education for All (IDEA) is an NGO that was originated by a team of qualified and experienced social scientists and social workers, to deal with the problems in education and developmental issues of the marginalized people, realizing the need for adopting a holistic approach to minimize school dropout.

Q: Joomla modules to only displayed to specific usersgroup I need to able to restrict menu modules to their user group. I have two user group called "contractor and supplier" I have separate menu module for each and only be seen if they are they user group.
But when I login for either I can see the other user menu, visit http://new.oljanafm.com.au And login as a supplier on both login forms:
username: telstra
pw: 1234
How do I make it so each menu can only be seen when they login.
Thanks,
Nep

A: Menu's are displayed by modules, simply set the menu to the group you want.
In the module that displays the menu set the Access menu to the "Contractor" or "Supplier" group as required.
e.g. in the Joomla 3 Manager you can see the Modules button on the right end of each Menu row.

If you click on the Modules button you will be shown a summary of where it's displayed (template position) and the viewing access group that can see it, as shown below:

If you click on the module entry you can edit the module directly and set the access, like this:

A: Try this,
In your module , you can create User Groups as a Module Params.
So using this option once the module is installed for one menu item choose required user groups. Then for the second menu item create New module from Module manager ->Tool bar menu.
choose the other user groups from module param.
Assign each module correctly with menu's. Simply Done!
You can create usergroups in module param using the following code in your module XML
<field name="guest_usergroup" type="usergroup"
        label="COM_USERS_CONFIG_FIELD_GUEST_USER_GROUP_LABEL"
        description="COM_USERS_CONFIG_FIELD_GUEST_USER_GROUP_DESC"
        multiple="true" />

For more about usergroups, and more about module params.
Hope it make sense..

A: I'd suggest you to use a 3rd party solution called Metamodpro
Once you install that, here are some recipes that you could use:

if (MM_USER_REGISTERED ) return 46; //a plain registered user, no additional privileges
if ( MM_USER_AUTHOR ) return 47; //show a notice for "Author" users
if ( MM_USER_EDITOR ) return 48; //show a notice for "Editor" users
if ( MM_LOGGED_IN && MM_NOT_USER_AUTHOR ) return 53; //show a notice to anyone logged in who is not in the "Author" group
if ( $user->usertype == "My Special Group Name" ) return 54; //if you are using any Joomla extensions that allow you to create your own user groups

My Husband and I Are Both Raising a Son With Autism, So Why Does He Get Less Support?
Why It's Important to Support Dads in the Autism Community
June 30, 2021 by Victoria Rosenberg
From the time my oldest son was around 9 months old, I had concerns regarding his development. As a first-time mom, I set aside the worry that I was being overly paranoid and discussed what I had seen (and googled) with my husband. He was supportive of opening up a conversation with our son's doctor, and from that day forward, we started what would end up being our journey to an autism diagnosis. That's a very, very condensed version of history. Any parent, caregiver, or self-advocate who has gone through this process knows firsthand how depleting and frustrating it can be.
We consulted and had appointments with everyone from audiologists to ophthalmologists (and plenty of other "-ologists" in between), pediatric specialists, and ultimately, a developmental therapist. My husband attended every specialist appointment, filled out countless forms, paced with our son up and down hallways when the wait got too long, and was our rock and foundation throughout this arduous process. Although we had each assumed different responsibilities and roles, at no time was one of us more critical than the other. You wouldn't know that by the way the autism community addressed us though. In our experience and that (anecdotally) of others in our community, there is a clear bias toward the mother and her role as the caregiver.
In our experience and that (anecdotally) of others in our community, there is a clear bias toward the mother and her role as the caregiver.
I want to take a minute here to address two very important facts before I continue. First and foremost, as much as I'm about to speak about the role fathers play and how important it is for them to be recognized within the autism community, I'm speaking only from the point of view of a caregiver and parent. I cannot speak for my son or his experience as an autistic person, and I won't. If he chooses to share one day, I will support him as I have in every other endeavor he's undertaken since he was born, but I'm not here to tell his story. I simply cannot. Nor am I asking for praise or recognition for raising the incredible person that he is.
My whole purpose and intent here is to advocate for equal access to support and resources for any parent or caregiver of a child with autism, so they can be as equipped and as confident as possible when navigating this diagnosis. My son's ability to access every service he needs, in a way that is respectful, dignified, and meets him where he is, will always be the priority, regardless of the experience we, as his parents, encounter. Having said that, it's also true that the more informed and supported we are, the better we'll be able to help him. Both of us. Mom and dad.
Secondly, I know that every situation, family, and circumstance is incredibly unique. Families and support systems look completely different for everyone, and the makeup of our individual villages varies endlessly. Even within the household, responsibilities and who takes the lead and where can vary from day to day. While my focus here is on fathers, I understand and acknowledge that this may not be relevant to everyone. I can only speak to my personal experience and what I've seen myself during this journey, and I hope that even if you can't relate, you can understand the importance of what I'm trying to relay.
We Have a Child With Severe Autism — Here's How We Keep Our Marriage Strong
It is vital that all caregivers are given the same support and guidance. As we went from appointment to appointment, from endless phone calls to equally endless questionnaires and assessments, I was always caught off guard by how people looked to me for answers. How they'd ask for my contact information. How my phone would be ringing nonstop with questions and appointment updates, results and requests for further clarification. More often than not, the pamphlets we were given showed photos of mothers and children, as did the posters in the waiting rooms. Notably, many of the professionals who have worked with my son have been women, which I do feel contributes to the issue of mothers being seen as the primary caregiver, leading to a culture where women are given the greater amount of consideration.
As a mom, I've also had the incredible advantage of being able to find countless online support groups, where I've been able to gain insight, guidance, knowledge, and a sense of community. I've been able to hop onto forums and pages to get referrals and find tips and suggestions for everything from activities to grants and funding. While that's definitely a positive, there are undeniable negatives as well. I felt an enormous amount of pressure to be the one running to meetings and therapy appointments and, in general, to independently bear the role of caregiver. I then felt like I was failing if I couldn't get out of work or make it to an appointment and my husband had to attend alone. The expectations were simultaneously disrespectful to my husband and overwhelming for me.
In the realm of social media, the concept of #autismmoms is one that is fraught with controversy. There are endless examples of mothers sharing their stories, some of whom have tens of thousands of followers. This encourages a celebration and recognition of their role and advocacy. Accounts focused on the father's perspective aren't as prominently celebrated, and when they are, it can be borderline offensive. The culture and community is often, once again, focused on the mother.
The conversation revolving around the representation of mothers and fathers is nothing new. Everywhere you look, there are memes pointing out the fact that fathers aren't babysitting their kids, they're parenting. When it comes to raising an autistic child, it's even more critical to watch how we speak about and relate to the men in our children's lives. My son knows firsthand that his father is a strong, kind man who loves him unconditionally. He knows that his father is a fierce advocate for him and proud of him beyond words. But when he goes out into the world and hears how cute it is that his dad is at drop-off, that's demeaning and unfair.
Much Like My Family's Experience With Autism, COVID Taught Us to Cherish the Little Moments
My husband does drop-off and pick-up every day. When we have meetings, we work around both of our schedules, so that we're both in attendance. We both speak up when need be. My husband has worked tirelessly on making our home, and my son's room specifically, as safe and accessible as possible for him, always looking for new equipment or resources to better our son's quality of life. He advocates passionately and loves our son fiercely. And he is not alone.
There are countless fathers at drop-off and pick-up, at every assembly and school event. There are fathers who volunteer and fathers who take a quieter role, but whose presence is just as significant. There are fathers who attend meetings, appointments, and are as present in the waiting room as any mother there. There are fathers tailoring IEP plans, fighting for accessibility, and dedicating themselves to the well-being of their children, in a society that is often dismissive of their abilities.
My husband advocates passionately and loves our son fiercely. And he is not alone.
My husband gives and gives and gives, and it is so important that this is recognized. I don't mean with confetti and celebrations. I just want him to be offered the same level of respect, support, and services that would be offered to any mother. Where there's a mom's coffee group, there should be one for dads, too. If you aren't going to say it's so sweet that I take the time to be at my son's assembly, then don't say it to my husband.
Like I said before, when parents feel heard and supported in their advocacy, they're better able to support their child and ensure that they're being given every opportunity. When their role is diminished, their voice not given the space, they have to work twice as hard for both them and their child to be heard. We need to change the conversation and culture. We need to stop referring to a father's involvement as extraordinary or "cute." This is not only hurtful and disrespectful for my husband, but it also isn't something I want instilled in my son.
Being a parent can be exhausting and challenging in the best of times. Add to that a diagnosis or a child who requires special accommodations, and the need for guidance and support is undeniable. It's critical to recognize and uplift fathers in this community. One in 54 children in the US has been identified with ASD, and the prevalence among boys is four times higher than among girls. What are we telling our sons when we don't give their fathers a seat at the table or the support and services offered to their mothers? When they aren't represented in pamphlets or posters, in classrooms or offices? And for that matter, what message are we sending our daughters? There is so much work that needs to be done in terms of acceptance and awareness regarding neurodiversity. Ensuring that families feel supported throughout their journey, fathers included, is a good place to start.
