The excretory system as the name suggests is responsible to clear out waste from the body. Each and every cell in the body undergoes a million if not a billion chemical reactions per day. Each of these reactions results in many chemical compounds, some of which are metabolic waste.
The essential functions of eliminating toxic waste, maintaining electrolyte balance, and maintaining fluid balance are performed by the excretory system of the body.
The excretory system is mainly composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
Functions of Excretory System
Excretion of the Waste Products
The primary function of the urinary system is to get rid of waste products in the body. Waste products including ammonia, urea, uric acid, etc are filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. Drugs and other toxins are also excreted through the excretory system.
Maintaining Osmotic and Electrolyte Balance
The kidneys and skin are responsible for maintaining osmotic and electrolyte balance in the body. The amount of urine and sweat is altered according to the needs of the body.
Organs of the Excretory System
The excretory system consists of the urinary system and contributions from the liver, skin, and lungs.
Urinary System includes kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The structure and function of these individual components of the urinary system are in the following section.
The main component of the urinary system is the kidney. Kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the posterior part of the abdomen on the sides of the vertebral column. The kidneys have three layers around them. The outermost tough layer of connective tissue is the renal fascia. Under the renal fascia, there is a peri-renal fat capsule. The third and innermost covering of the kidneys is a renal capsule. Each kidney has three main parts.
Renal Cortex
The renal cortex is the outer granular part of the kidneys. The renal cortex has a granular appearance due to the presence of nephrons. Nephrons are considered the functional unit of the kidney.
Renal Medulla
The renal medulla is the inner part of the kidneys. The renal medulla has renal pyramids and renal columns.
The renal pelvis is the exit of the kidneys. The urine from the nephrons drains into the renal pelvis. The ureters are the continuation of the renal pelvis.
Structure of the Nephron
As said above, nephrons are the functional units of kidneys. Each nephron consists of the following parts.
Bowman's capsule is the central part of the nephron. It is a cup-shaped structure and receives blood through afferent arterioles. The afferent arterioles divide into a network of capillaries in the bowman's capsule called the glomerulus. Next to the bowman's capsule is a proximal convoluted tubule; it is a convoluted tube extending down from the bowman's capsule.
The third part of the nephron is a loop of Henle. The first part is a straight descending tubule that is a continuation of PCT. Then, there is a loop formation. Finally, there is ascending limb that connects with the distal convoluted tubule. After the loop of Henle, there is a distal convoluted tubule. The DCT opens in the collection duct. The collecting ducts open in the renal pelvis.
The Function Of The Kidneys
Nephrons are considered the main functional unit of the kidney. Hence, the functions of the nephron are considered the functions of the kidney. The function of the bowman's capsule or glomeruli is to filter the blood. The PCT absorbs most of the water, glucose, and amino acids from the filtrate.
The loop of Henle and collecting duct respond to hormones. Their primary function is to adjust the osmolality of the urine according to the body's needs. The PCT is the part that responds to hormones and plays a vital role in adjusting the excretion and reabsorption of electrolytes from the filtrate.
The individual functions of different parts ultimately lead to urine formation. Hence, the kidney function is to excrete waste materials and maintain the osmotic and electrolyte balance of the body.
Ureters are thin muscular tubes that are a continuation of the renal pelvis. Their function is to carry the urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
Urinary Bladder
The bladder is a balloon or sac-like organ. The wall of the bladder is made up of smooth muscles. The function of the bladder is to store urine. The bladder also has the role of contracting and passing urine in the urethra on nervous stimulation.
The urethra is a thin tube. Females have a shorter urethra compared to males. The urethra arises from the urinary bladder. Its function is to carry urine outside on the contraction of the bladder. The nervous system stimulates the opening of the urethra.
Neurovasulature of Excretory System
The segmental arteries divide into interlobar arteries, which subsequently divide into arcuate arteries. The arcuate arteries give rise to an afferent arteriole; the afferent arteriole further divides into glomerular capillaries. The filtration of the blood takes place at glomerular capillaries. Glomerular capillaries again unite to form efferent arterioles. Efferent arterioles provide blood to the outer two-thirds of the kidneys through the peritubular network. The peritubular network finally drains into the venous system.
The venous drainage of kidneys occurs through right and left renal veins, directly opening into the inferior vena cava.
The nerve supply of the kidneys is from the renal plexus. The renal plexus is formed by the branches of celiac and aorticorenal ganglia. It also receives branches from the lower thoracic splanchnic nerves and the first lumbar splanchnic nerve.
The blood Supply of the Ureters is segmental. The renal arteries supply the upper part of the ureters. The middle part of the ureters is supplied by the common iliac arteries and gonadal arteries. The distal portion of the ureters has blood supply from the branches of the internal iliac artery.
The venous drainage of the ureters is also segmental. It is carried by the mirror veins of the above-described arteries.
The nerve supply of the ureters is derived from three plexus; renal plexus, testicular/ovarian plexus, and hypogastric plexus.
The blood supply of the bladder is mainly from the internal iliac arteries. The superior vesical artery, a branch of the internal iliac artery, is the major blood supply of the artery. In males, the additional blood to the bladder is supplied by the inferior vesical artery. Vaginal arteries replace the inferior vesical artery in females.
The respective mirror veins of the above-described arteries finally carry the venous drainage of the bladder into an internal iliac vein.
The nerve supply of the bladder has sympathetic and parasympathetic components. The sympathetic nerve supply of the bladder is from the superior and inferior hypogastric plexus. The parasympathetic nerve supply of the bladder is from the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
The blood supply of the male urethra
Prostatic Urethra: Inferior vesical artery
Membranous Urethra: Bulbourethral Artery
Penile Urethra: Branches of Internal pudendal artery
The blood supply of the female urethra is carried through internal pudendal arteries mainly. The vaginal arteries and inferior vesical branches of vaginal arteries also contribute.
The venous drainage of the urethra is also carried by the mirror veins of the above-described arteries.
The nerve supply of the male urethra is from the prostatic plexus. And the nerve supply of the female urethra is from the vesical plexus and pudendal nerve.

and TV The history of Hollywood is filled with what-ifs. What if James Dean hadnt died in a car crash?
We rage against the destruction of art at the hands of vandals. The Bonfire of the Vanities, the dynamiting of Buddhas of Bamiyan, the demolition of ancient sites by ISIS . . . you do not have to think too hard to come up with a list of such losses to the world. Sometimes, however, it is the creators of the art themselves who do the destroying.
In 1997, Dionysis Karipidis carved a statue of a mermaid into the rocks of Portokali beach in Greece. His larger-than-life work should have withstood the tides for centuries, but those who go to look at it now will not find it in anything like its former glory.
The trouble began when the artist was issued a €522 fine relating to the statue. It seems that the work of art was actually a destruction of the local landscape, since it was carved from the rocks already there and not brought in. Several letters went between the artist and the local government, attempts were made to cancel or pay the fine on the artist's behalf, but in the end, the artist took matters into his own hands. Matters, and a sledge hammer.
Karipidis stripped himself naked and battered the mermaid, shattering her face, to protest against the fine and returning the beach to its natural state.
Big name artists are like economic magicians: They can make millions out of a thin layer of paint. All they have to do is let someone buy them.
Gerhard Richter is a German artist who has produced works in paint, photography, and glass. In 2015, his painting Abstraktes Bild sold for $46.3 million, a record for a living artist. It's surprising then that many of his early work, of which we have photos, have disappeared.
In the 1960s, Richter took a box cutter to some of his finished paintings. Others, he burned with the rest of the rubbish from his studio. Today, those works would be worth well over half a billion dollars.
Street art tends to be impermanent. Being done in public and on property the artist does not own leaves it open to threats not usually faced by paintings in galleries. There is a whole Wikipedia page dedicated to destroyed Banksy works.
For 20 years, the artist Blu has been painting walls in Bologna. The artist objected to his murals being removed from their locations. Not that they were to be destroyed to be destroyed, but that they were to be preserved. The city was going to take his works and place them in a gallery. Blu said, "This exhibition will embellish and legitimize the hoarding of art taken off the street, which is only going to please unscrupled collectors and merchants." He took a chisel and some grey paint and systematically eradicated two decades of art.
Blu has form when it comes to auto-destruction of his work. In 2014, he painted over one of his murals in Berlin to protest urban development.
Many artists find it hard to get rid of any of their works. Charles Camoin has the rare distinction of having destroyed the same works of art twice.
After a successful show of his paintings in 1913, Camoin suffered a serious depressive episode. He slashed over 80 of his paintings and discarded the tattered remains. A sad event, and for most artists, that would be the end of the matter. At some point, though, the paintings were recovered by the writer Francis Caro, who had them restored. When Caro later put the paintings up for auction, Camoin sued him.
Camoin won the case. The court ordered the paintings to be destroyed for the second and final time.
All artists' work evolves over time. Sometimes, this is a radical change; sometimes it is just a tweaking of technique. What happens when an artist comes to hate the work of their younger self?
Jasper Johns had an epiphany in 1954. He "decided to stop becoming and to be an artist." He took all the art that he had created until that moment and completely destroyed it. Unlike other artists who have done something like this with some of their art, there is practically nothing remaining of Johns' early work, not even photos. It is as if Johns stepped fully formed into the art world with his famous Flag.
If you want your art to reach the future safe and sound, sculpture would seem to be the way to go. Rekevics does not seem to want his to survive.
Rekevics makes his monumental artworks from tons of plaster, wood, and foam. At the end of an exhibition, he simply takes his works apart with a hammer and puts them in a dumpster. His background is as a set designer for the stage, where all works are ephemeral. Rekevics acknowledges that his destructive tendencies may cause a problem should anyone decide to buy something from one of his shows.
Francis Bacon's paintings are among the most expensive in the world. In fact in 2013, a triptych by Bacon sold for $142 million, making it the most expensive work of art at the time.
In 1942 Bacon destroyed most of his early work. But this was not a one-off event. Throughout his career, Bacon would hack sections out of canvases he did not think were good enough but also ones he thought should have been great but which he had ruined. "I think I tend to destroy the better paintings," he said. "I try and take them further, and they lose all their qualities." When Bacon's studio was inventoried after his death 100 slashed paintings were found.
The destruction of the canvases is not the end of the story. Such is the hunger for Bacon's work that even the cuttings from his destroyed paintings sell for thousands of pounds.
Sometimes in art, creation can come from destruction. John Baldessari spent the summer of 1970 destroying 13 years of paintings to create a new work, literally from the ashes.
Cremation Project was the result. The artist took his back catalog of paintings to his local crematorium and reduced them to black ash. He took photos of the process, which formed part of his new work, but he also used the ash. He placed the remains in an urn and placed a plaque on it with his name and the dates the work came from.
Was this a whimsical work of a deranged artist? Strangely, a practical decision may have led to Baldessari's most famous work. In 1970, he was going to relocate and he would have had to transport all of his old work.
Monet's water lily paintings are a series of works done over many years in the water garden of his home. They routinely sell for tens of millions of dollars and can be found in museums around the world. But they were not universally loved in the artist's own life time. Critics found the washy Impressionism muddy and confused. Indeed, the name "Impressionism" came from an insult levelled at Monet's work.
It is possible that the critics got to him. Just before a major exhibition of his water lily paintings in 1908, he destroyed 15 large canvases. But Monet also had a desire to control how his works would be seen by future generations. Just before his death, Monet enlisted his daughter-in-law in getting rid of 60 further paintings.
Michelangelo's Pieta, a statue of the Virgin Mary cradling the dead Christ, is one of the masterpieces of the Vatican collection. In 1972, a mentally ill geologist attacked it with a hammer, breaking off the Virgin's nose (which was stolen by onlookers). But this is not the work of art we are discussing.
Michelangelo also created another Pieta, called The Deposition. He worked on it, according to his biographer Vasari, as a way of keeping his body and mind in order. He worked on the sculpture of four figures for eight years. And then one day, he became enraged with it, and broke it. He passed the damaged work on to a friend. Amazed at what the great man had done, he asked why it had been damaged.
So the lesson is never to push a genius to work quickly.

Part 2: Stay Ahead of Resistant Weeds in the Central Plains
Weed resistance is expanding across the Midwest. When the same herbicides are overused, weeds become resistant to the herbicide, thus the herbicide loses effectiveness. It's no surprise that farmers' concern about resistance is also increasing. Experts recommend that using an herbicide with multiple effective modes of action is a powerful way to manage resistant weeds. Growers in the Central Plains shared why they use Acuron® corn herbicide to manage weed resistance in their fields.
After failed attempts controlling marestail, pigweed and morningglory, Andy Zwick, a grower from Sterling, KS, was looking for a new solution for his tough glyphosate-resistant weeds. He found that Acuron provided the flexibility and control he was looking for.
A lot of glyphosate-resistant weeds have come about in the last 6 years, and Zwick has had to use more modes of action to keep these weeds in check. Acuron took control of his glyphosate-resistant marestail.
Glenn Beller from Lindsay, NE, also explains why he used Acuron to manage resistant weeds. When reflecting on fight against weed resistance in 2016, Beller believes it's no longer a question of if or when resistance weeds will impact corn fields. Instead, it's a question of how can he manage them? Because resistance continues to be a growing issue, it's important to be proactive and look for the best solutions.
Previously having problems with resistant waterhemp, an application of Acuron helped Glenn tackle his toughest weed.

SPaul note: This oppinion piece was published in 2007 and warns of corporatism becoming too large a hinderance to our collective freedoms. This has more than come to fruition with the ceaseless war initiatives and the Supreme Court's decision to grant corporations personhood. Let this be a lesson to those sleeping on the sidelines: The world is moving into an abyss devoid of freedom for those inhabitants not protected by mega-corporate shelters and we may not be able to escape this destiny lest we take a unified stand right now.
Most of us who believe in the free enterprise system have been taught that business interests normally work to the betterment of America's overall health, both commercially and politically. While there might have been a time when this was true, it is definitely not true today. Not only has Big Business become unfriendly to the principles of freedom, it has also become freedom's greatest threat.
To say that Corporate America is America's greatest threat is a harsh accusation, but one that I believe is warranted. I will even be so bold as to say that freedom has much more to fear from today's Chambers of Commerce than it does from Al Qaida.
Today's Americans need to carefully heed the sage counsel of Thomas Jefferson, who said, "Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains." The truth of that statement aptly explains the serious damage that Big Business is currently inflicting upon our liberties.
Someone rightly observed that one can determine the focus of, and influence upon, societies by analyzing its architecture. For example, from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through the beginning of the War for Southern Independence, the most notable buildings (in most communities) belonged to churches. From the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century, the most prominent buildings belonged to various governments. From the mid-twentieth century to the present, the biggest, most lavish, and most notable buildings belong to Big Business. This is not accidental or coincidental. These buildings are the monuments of men to the ideas that mean the most to them. Accordingly, a vast number of today's Americans have come to worship at the shrine of Big Business.
However, this idolatry comes at great price. Not the least of which is the way we have allowed Big Business interests to virtually control governmental policy, including our war and defense policies.
For example, I recently obtained a copy of the U.S. Navy's "Playbook." This Playbook succinctly summarizes the Department of the Navy's policies and guidelines, and is made available to naval officers and to public affairs professionals. Under the section entitled "Vision" it states, "Americans secure at home and abroad; sea and air lanes open and free for the peaceful and productive movement of international commerce; enduring national and international naval relationships that remain strong and true; steadily deepening cooperation among the maritime forces of emerging partner nations . . ."
Notice the emphasis of "international commerce," "international naval relations," and "emerging partner nations."
Under the section entitled "Focus On Execution" it states, "We must continue to embrace the vital contributions that out [sic] partners make in working to secure the global community."
Notice that part of our Navy's policy is to "secure the global community." So, who is our military charged to defend? Is it the American people? Is it the "global community," or is it Big Business? Navy brass might answer, "All of the above." However, it should seem obvious to anyone who is paying attention that in the grand scheme of things, the will and interests of the American people are being submerged under the will and interests of Big Business, which is creating the global community.
Under the section "Maritime Strategy" it states, "This new Maritime Strategy is required to face the threats of our interdependent societies and global economy."
Can the reader not see how that even our military and defense departments are being coerced and manipulated by the interests of Big Business? Need more evidence? Look at Iraq.
Are you aware that America has almost as many civilian contractors in Iraq as we do military personnel? According to a recent census report, there are more than 100,000 civilian contractors currently working in Iraq. In fact, the war in Iraq has become "the most privatized war in U.S. history." (Source: Multinational Monitor, Nov/Dec 2006) The Halliburton company alone has received some $20 billion from both its oil and troop logistics contracts. Contracts, that according to MM, include "[f]orty-five dollar cases of soda; $85,000 trucks in need of minor repairs . . . tens of millions of dollars in gasoline surcharges; thousands of meals prepared but never served to the troops . . . [and] contaminated water served to the troops."
And if one were to actually believe that America has any intention of pulling out of Iraq, consider this: experts predict that private, civilian contracts will grow into a $200 billion-a-year global business by 2010. Why do you think that our government is currently constructing the biggest U.S. embassy in the world in downtown Baghdad? In fact, when our embassy in Iraq is finished it will be larger than the Vatican!
No, my friends, our government has no intentions of pulling out of Iraq. Not next year. Not ever! Why? It is the desire of Big Business that we be there.
Consider, too, the way that the Chambers of Commerce around America attempt to facilitate the flow of illegal aliens into our country. In fact, the national Chamber of Commerce is one of the biggest proponents of amnesty for illegal aliens. Many within Corporate America also support "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens. They lobby our congressmen in Washington, D.C., and in state capitols to NOT enforce our nation's laws against companies that hire illegals and against illegals themselves.
Anyone with even a modicum of common sense understands that nothing compromises America's safety and security as does the current invasion of our country by illegal aliens. How anyone can believe that President Bush is serious about fighting a "war on terror" when he has done absolutely nothing for nearly six years to secure our borders and ports is the height of naïveté.
As we can easily observe by reading the aforementioned U.S. Navy's own Playbook, this administration is basing its foreign and domestic policies more on the desires of Big Business than the interests of the American people. And lest Democrats think that, should they capture the White House in 2008, things will change, guess again. The same Big Business interests that control the Republican Party control the Democratic Party, which means there will be no significant change to our government's policy regarding Iraq if Democrats are in charge. Count on it!
Look, too, at how Big Business tries to manipulate laws regarding the right to keep and bear arms. One of the chief proponents of denying people the right to transport firearms in their vehicles to and from work is Corporate America. All over the country, companies threaten their employees with dismissal should they have firearms in their cars. In fact, it is the diabolical duo of Big Business and Big Government that are the biggest proponents of denying the American people their right to personal self-defense.
Speaking of personal self-defense, if you own a firearm and intend to have ammunition to put in that firearm, you might want to buy it while you can afford it. By the first of next year, the price of ammunition will be at least double what it is today, that is providing one can find it at all. The reason? Corporate America is selling the raw ingredients necessary for the construction of ammunition (at top dollar, I might add) to Red China. As with everything else, Corporate America would rather sell to Communist China than to the American people.
Another sign of Corporate America's treachery: just last Tuesday (July 24, 2007), Westinghouse Electric Company signed a deal to build four nuclear power plants in China and to transfer technology for its newest reactor to a Chinese partner. According to Westinghouse president, Steve Tritch, the Chinese nuclear plant deal is worth "multibillion-dollar contracts." But the Chinese buyers asked the company not to disclose details. (Source: the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Just like we will never be told why China is buying up all the raw materials that go into making ammunition.
Of course, the marriage of Corporate America with the communist elite in China is now well established. USA Today recently reported that "U.S. corporate profits in China passed $2 billion the first six months of 2006." Companies currently doing business in China include Caterpillar, Starbucks, Greif (a Delaware, Ohio-based maker of industrial packaging), General Motors, Google, UPS, Microsoft, Nike, AT&T, and of course, Wal-Mart. In addition, the Chrysler Corporation recently announced that it will begin importing cars made in China.
Plus, we should realize that it is Corporate America that is behind the push to outsource America's jobs and industries. It is also Corporate America that is behind the push to create a NAFTA superhighway and North American Community. In short, it is Corporate America that is behind the push to sacrifice America's national sovereignty and independence.
It is also Corporate America that opposes Country Of Origin Labeling (COOL) laws that would require companies to tell consumers where their food comes from. In fact, such a law was passed back in 2002 and signed by President Bush, but Corporate America's lobbyists successfully blocked the implementation of that law. Therefore, you and I still have no idea where the food we purchase comes from.
As one can easily see, Corporate America has morphed into an international juggernaut that threatens our safety and security, as well as our liberty and independence in a way that foreign terrorists could only dream about. The American people need to start seeing these giant corporations for what they really are: freedom's greatest threat.

I came across these fork-like tools on a craftman's workbench, and thought they'd make a good "What am I?" Quiz. What, exactly, are these fork-like tools used for?
To make patterns on pottery?
They are potter's tools for etching groves into pottery.
Sculptor Tool for Pottery, statue or miniatures.
Tools for carving pottery, clay, Tera cotta and such?
I believe these are forks used for clay work or pottery. I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to be the ones I remember.
After reading your post about the tile shop it is easy to see these 'forks' are used to make markings in fresh tile clay.

C12 Dance Theatre @ Wilderness 2016 Review
Commissioned especially for this year's Wilderness Festival, C12 Dance Theatre present a somewhat mystical 45minute dance piece that leaves the audience asking questions throughout and after the show's conclusion. A female dancer, still in composure attracts the attention of the audience, mannequin-like, she takes over the central doorway. Dressed in a red turtle neck, a long black skirt and adorned with a never ending piece of rope, she gives off the appearance of a Russian doll evoking intrigue.
Two performers crawl through the protagonist's long black skirt as if two otherworldly entities. As this is the beginning of the piece, it could be described as being the birth of the production, as well as the 'birth' of these two characters. It's as if the offspring of the protagonist are now trying to get to grips with the world they now find themselves in, and have to adapt. This is visually haunting and hooks the audience into the performer's reality even more.
The protagonist's two children, twin like, begin to take on domestic responsibilities, bringing up the theme of gender roles and femininity. These are fascinating topics to explore even further as the repetition of creating meals and cleaning somehow suggests that these twins are taking over their mother's role and are perhaps becoming a new generation of fiery personalities who want to challenge these ideals. What does it mean to be feminine is a question that is put out silently into the space.
There is a constant power struggle between the girls and their matriarch, with predominantly the former overpowering. This is heartbreaking to watch due to the fact that their mother has brought them into this world, but adds depth to a piece that could easily show a one sided relationship. The girls intentionally ostracise her from their perfectly synchronised routines, making her appear like a younger misunderstood sibling with a wish of only being listened to.
The performance's breakthrough moment is the matriarch, or should I say younger sibling…rebelling. Surrounded by the rope that once adorned her, it is now a place of sanctuary. She summons up a force from within to manipulate her two foes. Frightening in its ferocity, the audience can't help but celebrate her sudden surge of confidence. Balletic kicks and hypnotic circular arm sequences give her the otherworldly qualities of a sorceress. Teamed up with a tangential, powerful, heart thumping soundtrack and organised chaotic lighting make for a dramatic show down.
What's evident about C12's dance piece is just how malleable it is. Just when you think you've caught up with the narrative, the game changes and that makes the show a rich watch thematically. This can simultaneously make the show a tough watch if you are a fan of a clear narrative.

Tweens Revolutionize Online Activism
by Kelly Jensen
Mar 01, 2021 | Filed in News & Features
Young people make their voices heard on issues from the election to climate change, one click at a time.

Tweens Experience More Bias in School Than Younger Kids. Here's How To Fight That.
In an era defined by a perfect storm of challenges—ongoing racial injustice, a global pandemic, and a high-stakes election, to name a few—young people have revolutionized how they engage with their communities and the world. Teens and tweens utilized social media platform TikTok to shrink numbers at a Trump rally. On fancast sites and YouTube platforms, they've monetized well-performing content and donated the proceeds to anti-racist organizations.
While today's social and economic realities are hitting young people hard, tweens are highly engaged in digital activism in an era when access to information and tools for change are at their fingertips.
"This pandemic, combined with a recession, is probably the worst thing that has ever happened, ever," lamented a young member of Austin Public Library's (APL) tween council. Still, given their exposure to social media from an early age, plus additional time online during COVID education shifts, today's tweens are more conscious of news and world affairs than ever, say educators and librarians. Those educators are in a unique position to help young people between the ages of nine and 12 find and use tools to express themselves.
Amy Oelsner, director of Girls Rock Bloomington in Bloomington, IN, a camp and music organization for girls, trans, and nonbinary youth from ages eight to sixteen, says that today's tweens are far more aware of what's going on than even five years ago. The biggest passions for her students, primarily middle-class white tweens, are climate change, LGBTQ+ rights, and racism.
"[They're using social media for] sharing information about protests," Oelsner says. "Instagram, TikTok. They're inspired by identity politics." Girls Rock has helped by connecting interested tweens via social media with local events and protests, including climate change strikes.
Classroom time provides an opportunity for Oelsner to encourage that activism. Careful to avoid engaging directly with tweens on social media herself, the music educator implements assignments and projects related to social justice passion points.
"I'm teaching a virtual songwriting and social justice class for ages eight to twelve, and they're performing original protest songs at a digital showcase," she says. Though heartened by her students' passion, Oelsner notes that keeping an open dialog with parents and caregivers is crucial as educators help steer such initiatives.
"Let their parents or guardians know that you will be discussing sensitive material like police shootings of Black people and violence against Black Lives Matter protesters at protests, and make sure to check in on the kid about it if possible," she says.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) and mental health are among the biggest passion topics for tweens at the Ypsilanti District (MI) Library, says Jodi Krahnke, head of youth services, who oversees tween and teen advisory meetings. Only the teen group is meeting during the pandemic, but tweens have attended, skewing the average age lower.
Currently, they are working on a digital activism project called Teens Believe BLM. "They have created flyer templates on Canva for images, messages, booklists, and QR codes they can share as jpegs, flyers, or on the library website," says Krahnke. The flyers will be distributed digitally via social media; printed versions were included in monthly subscription bags for patrons. "Advisory members pick the theme of the bag, a book, and the contents," says Krahnke. The first two themes are social justice and mental health/self-care.
"In the Social Justice kit, they included All American Boys, BLM face masks, and social justice message stickers and pins, with a read-alike booklist and 'how to talk to your family about race' tips they generated." For the upcoming mental health theme, "They are including The Poet X, chocolate, positive message pins, a journal and gel pens, eye masks, and some other self-care tips," Krahnke explains.
Though the library has a dedicated teen Instagram account, tweens use a wide variety of their own social media tools to amplify Teens Believe BLM. "TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Discord are most used right now. That's where they interact and get news, along with Reddit," says Krahnke.

Books To Spark Activism
Kids on the March by Michael Long (Algonquin, 2020) showcases 15 real-life examples of kids speaking out and launching justice movements for causes they're passionate about. The book features historical and contemporary examples.
Putting Peace First: 7 Commitments to Change the World by Eric Dawson (Viking, 2018) is a solid pick for tweens itching to do something in their community but not sure where to begin. Dawson's activism started at age 18, and he provides step-by-step guides for how a variety of peacemakers left their marks.
Steal This Country: A Handbook for Resistance, Persistence, and Fixing Almost Everything by Alexandra Styron (Viking, 2018) is a good choice for tweens who want to learn about resistance and activism. Key issues of social justice are presented in an accessible way, including climate change, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and more.
Step into Your Power by Jamia Wilson, illus. by Andrea Pippins (Wide Eyed Editions, 2019) encourages young people to look after themselves in the midst of raising their voices and engaging in activism. Stories, activities, and action prompts keep the short book engaging. For younger tweens or those needing a boost of self-confidence.
This Book Is Anti-Racist: 20 Lessons on How To Wake Up, Take Action, and Do the Work by Tiffany Jewell, illustrated by Aurelia Durand (Frances Lincoln, 2020) is essential reading for tweens (and gatekeepers!) about how to be an active anti-racist. The book's lessons will help give young people the language for standing up for themselves and their peers, as well as tools for building a better world.
You Are Mighty: A Guide to Changing the World by Caroline Paul (Bloomsbury, 2018) generates ideas for action and activities while offering accessible, age-appropriate explanations of allyship, intersectionality, privilege, and more.
Krahnke and her team work with a local teen center, the Neutral Zone, and follow its guidelines and ideas for youth-driven initiatives and spaces. The Neutral Zone's Youth Driven Spaces staff coach educators on empowering young people and fostering their passions and voices in a safe, supportive environment. The library's teen activists have attended the organization's annual conference to network with other southeast Michigan youth who are passionate about activism.
Youth Driven Spaces is teen-focused, but Krahnke says the ideas apply to tweens as well, with a few adjustments. "The same principles of amplifying youth voices can be used, but tweens need more support in making ideas happen," she says. "Older teens can not only brainstorm what they want to happen but take tasks to complete a project on their own, while tweens need to be assigned tasks they can complete mostly during the meeting," she explains. "Our tween advisory is typically nine- to thirteen-year-olds, so we haven't focused a lot on branding and social media with them…. But on any project for either age group, digital or not, brainstorming as a group and then making a list of tasks members can take on is the first step."
Support from a local activist organization has been pivotal in shaping how the library encourages action in tweens and teens. "Before we signed on for Youth Driven Spaces training, our projects tended to focus on the library and what programs or services teens thought should be offered," says Krahnke. "Now the type of brainstorming techniques we use prompt them to think about the community as well. In recent years they've seen a need for reducing suicide, improving mental health, providing spaces for youth to meet and create, and raising environmental awareness."
Promoting body positivity
Chances are that any community has local activists eager to educate and energize young people. Following local activists and mutual aid organizations, as well as student and youth-focused groups within your own community, is a good way to build connections between your organization and those on the ground doing the work already.
For Amy Pence Brown, a body image activist in Boise, ID, building a partnership with the Boise Public Library (BPL) gave a large group of tweens the opportunity to learn about and engage in work related to the issue.
"Researchers, doctors, and parents all have found that it's during our preteen and teenage years and puberty that ideas about our bodies can be really solidified," says Pence Brown, who began running annual body image boot camps—RADCAMP—for teens and adults in 2017. "It's a crucial time of change and growth and discovery about who we are. It's also a time when beliefs are formed and ideas are fluid, and anything is possible."
In 2020, Pence Brown took the concept and launched Be RAD! Be You: A Body Image Workshop for Girls ages 10 to 12 at BPL. With volunteer members of her own Rad Fat Collective, she offered the one-day workshop in person in January prior to COVID shutdowns. The workshop was open to 20 girls and filled up quickly.
"We spent a few hours together learning about self-esteem, body image, and using our words and voices to make positive change in the world," she says. All activities, supplies, a book to take home—Sonya Renee Taylor's book Celebrate Your Body!—were free, thanks to a donation from a Rad Fat Collective member.
Though Pence Brown's annual RADCAMP events were canceled in 2020, Zoom provided an opportunity to continue connecting and inspiring young activists. She hopes to bring Be RAD! Be You back to the library in late 2021.
Tweens' social media use
Most social media platforms are designed and limited to those ages 13 and up, a result of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. While most social media platforms have designed kid-friendly alternatives, many who are under 13 still access the full versions of their favorite social media.
Research in 2020 showed that 42 percent of nine- to twelve-year-olds had their own smartphones, while 54 percent had their own tablets. Most of these devices were purchased by parents for meeting educational, recreational, and social needs. During the tween years, access to devices increases: Only about 20 percent of nine-year-olds had devices, but roughly two-thirds of 12-years-olds had one.
The same study of more than 1,000 tweens found that 67 percent said YouTube was their favorite form of social media, followed by Minecraft, Roblox, Google Classroom, Fortnite, TikTok, and YouTube Kids. About 15 percent used Snapchat, Facebook Messenger Kids, and Instagram, with fewer using Facebook and Twitch.
Remember, though, that not all tweens are interested in or excited by social media. Some are wary of the privacy implications. As an APL Tween Council member says, "I really don't use social media a lot because I know that big technology corporations track me. They know what I'm doing and when I'm doing it."
Still, digital tween activism continues to be a budding area of interest for schools and libraries. Tap into local organizations doing the work, online and off, and work to cultivate meaningful community partnerships to take that activism beyond the physical building and into the greater world. Tweens know what's going on. It's a matter of being shown the tools, techniques, and methods for advancing their voices and passions.

Q: Which iomanip manipulators are 'sticky'? I recently had a problem creating a stringstream due to the fact that I incorrectly assumed std::setw() would affect the stringstream for every insertion, until I changed it explicitly. However, it is always unset after the insertion.
// With timestruct with value of 'Oct 7 9:04 AM'
std::stringstream ss;
ss.fill('0'); ss.setf(ios::right, ios::adjustfield);
ss << setw(2) << timestruct.tm_mday;
ss << timestruct.tm_hour;
ss << timestruct.tm_min;
std::string filingTime = ss.str(); // BAD: '0794'

So, I have a number of questions:

*

*Why is setw() this way?

*Are any other manipulators this way?

*Is there a difference in behavior between std::ios_base::width() and std::setw()?

*Finally is there an online reference that clearly documents this behavior? My vendor documentation (MS Visual Studio 2005) doesn't seem to clearly show this.

A: setw() only affects the next insertion. That's just the way setw() behaves. The behavior of setw() is the same as ios_base::width(). I got my setw() information from cplusplus.com.
You can find a full list of manipulators here. From that link, all the stream flags should stay set until changed by another manipulator. One note about the left, right and internal manipulators: They are like the other flags and do persist until changed. However, they only have an effect when the width of the stream is set, and the width must be set every line. So, for example
cout.width(6);
cout << right << "a" << endl;
cout.width(6);
cout << "b" << endl;
cout.width(6);
cout << "c" << endl;

would give you
>     a
>     b
>     c

but
cout.width(6);
cout << right << "a" << endl;
cout << "b" << endl;
cout << "c" << endl;

would give you
>     a
>b
>c

The Input and Output manipulators are not sticky and only occur once where they are used. The parameterized manipulators are each different, here's a brief description of each:
setiosflags lets you manually set flags, a list of which can be found here, so it is sticky.
resetiosflags behaves similar to setiosflags except it unsets the specified flags.
setbase sets the base of integers inserted into the stream (so 17 in base 16 would be "11", and in base 2 would be "10001").
setfill sets the fill character to insert in the stream when setw is used.
setprecision sets the decimal precision to be used when inserting floating point values.
setw makes only the next insertion the specified width by filling with the character specified in setfill

A: The reason that width does not appear to be 'sticky' is that certain operations are guaranteed to call .width(0) on an output stream. Those are:
21.3.7.9 [lib.string.io]:
template<class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
  basic_ostream<charT, traits>&
    operator<<(basic_ostream<charT, traits>& os,
               const basic_string<charT,traits,Allocator>& str);

22.2.2.2.2 [lib.facet.num.put.virtuals]: All do_put overloads for the num_put template. These are used by overloads of operator<< taking a basic_ostream and a built in numeric type.
22.2.6.2.2 [lib.locale.money.put.virtuals]: All do_put overloads for the money_put template.
27.6.2.5.4 [lib.ostream.inserters.character]: Overloads of operator<< taking a basic_ostream and one of the char type of the basic_ostream instantiation or char, signed char or unsigned char or pointers to arrays of these char types.
To be honest I'm not sure of the rationale for this, but no other states of an ostream should be reset by formatted output functions. Of course, things like badbit and failbit may be set if there is a failure in the output operation, but that should be expected.
The only reason that I can think of for resetting the width is that it might be surprising if, when trying to output some delimited fields, your delimiters were padded.
E.g.
std::cout << std::setw(6) << 4.5 << '|' << 3.6 << '\n';

"   4.5     |   3.6      \n"

To 'correct' this would take:
std::cout << std::setw(6) << 4.5 << std::setw(0) << '|' << std::setw(6) << 3.6 << std::setw(0) << '\n';

whereas with a resetting width, the desired output can be generated with the shorter:
std::cout << std::setw(6) << 4.5 << '|' << std::setw(6) << 3.6 << '\n';

A: Important notes from the comments below:
By Martin:

@Chareles: Then by this requirement all manipulators are sticky. Except setw which seems to be reset after use.

By Charles:

Exactly! and the only reason that setw appears to behave differently is because there are requirements on formatted output operations to explicitly .width(0) the output stream.

The following is the discussion that lead to the above conclusion:

Looking at the code the following manipulators return an object rather than a stream:
setiosflags
resetiosflags
setbase
setfill
setprecision
setw

This is a common technique to apply an operation to only the next object that is applied to the stream. Unfortunately this does not preclude them from being sticky. Tests indicate that all of them except setw are sticky.
setiosflags:  Sticky
resetiosflags:Sticky
setbase:      Sticky
setfill:      Sticky
setprecision: Sticky

All the other manipulators return a stream object. Thus any state information they change must be recorded in the stream object and is thus permanent (until another manipulator changes the state). Thus the following manipulators must be Sticky manipulators.
[no]boolalpha
[no]showbase
[no]showpoint
[no]showpos
[no]skipws
[no]unitbuf
[no]uppercase

dec/ hex/ oct

fixed/ scientific

internal/ left/ right

These manipulators actually perform an operation on the stream itself rather than the stream object (Though technically the stream is part of the stream objects state). But I do not believe they affect any other part of the stream objects state.
ws/ endl/ ends/ flush

The conclusion is that setw seems to be the only manipulator on my version that is not sticky.
For Charles a simple trick to affect only the next item in the chain:
Here is an Example how an object can be used to temporaily change the state then put it back by the use of an object:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

// Private object constructed by the format object PutSquareBracket
struct SquareBracktAroundNextItem
{
    SquareBracktAroundNextItem(std::ostream& str)
        :m_str(str)
    {}
    std::ostream& m_str;
};

// New Format Object
struct PutSquareBracket
{};

// Format object passed to stream.
// All it does is return an object that can maintain state away from the
// stream object (so that it is not STICKY)
SquareBracktAroundNextItem operator<<(std::ostream& str,PutSquareBracket const& data)
{
    return SquareBracktAroundNextItem(str);
}

// The Non Sticky formatting.
// Here we temporariy set formating to fixed with a precision of 10.
// After the next value is printed we return the stream to the original state
// Then return the stream for normal processing.
template<typename T>
std::ostream& operator<<(SquareBracktAroundNextItem const& bracket,T const& data)
{
    std::ios_base::fmtflags flags               = bracket.m_str.flags();
    std::streamsize         currentPrecision    = bracket.m_str.precision();

    bracket.m_str << '[' << std::fixed << std::setprecision(10) << data << std::setprecision(currentPrecision) << ']';

    bracket.m_str.flags(flags);

    return bracket.m_str;
}

int main()
{

    std::cout << 5.34 << "\n"                        // Before
              << PutSquareBracket() << 5.34 << "\n"  // Temp change settings.
              << 5.34 << "\n";                       // After
}

Kim Da Mi And Choi Woo Shik's Reason For Breaking Up Revealed, 'Our Beloved Summer' Stole The Attention Of Viewers
December 22, 2021 Fufa Entertaiment, News
The Latest Episode Of 'Our Beloved Summer' Shows The Sad Reason For The Breakup Of Guk Yeon Soo (Kim Da Mi) And Choi Woong (Choi Woo Shik). I Was So Sad, This Drama Has Stolen The Hearts Of Viewers.
In the latest episode of " Our Beloved Summer " viewers get answers to questions that arose from the start. The reason why Guk Yeon Soo ( Kim Da Mi ) and Choi Woong ( Choi Woo Shik ) broke up was finally revealed.
"Our Beloved Summer" itself tells the story of Guk Yeon Soo and Choi Woong who have been separated for many years but return to interact because their documentary "wokwowk" during school gained popularity. Guk Yeon Soo was originally the best student in school but faced with a hard life made it seem like he was walking in place. While Choi Woong used to be in the last rank but is now a famous building illustrator.
It turns out that the breakup with Choi Woong was allegedly due to Guk Yeon Soo's difficult situation in the past. Always pretending to be selfish and disinterested in the world due to poverty, Guk Yeon Soo discovers a new side of life with the fun-loving Choi Woong.
However, Guk Yeon Soo always keeps his troubles to "chachacha" himself and gets frustrated when he sees Choi Woong rejecting the offer to study abroad. In the midst of debt and his sick grandmother, Guk Yeon Soo decides to part with his lover.
When Choi Woong protested why they broke up, Guk Yeon Soo replied, "No. Among all the things I have, you are the only one I can get rid of."
After that, Guk Yeon Soo's sad narration was shown. "So the reason we had to break up is that you and I don't see the same reality. No, it's actually because my reality is really tough. Even now, reality is still too hard for me to handle. No, actually… actually I was afraid you'd find out about me who feel inferior if we continue to be together," the voiceover said.
Guk Yeon Soo's confession made viewers regret watching the end of their love. No doubt this episode received more attention from viewers because of the sadness it displayed. Even the name Choi Woong was trending shortly after episode 6 aired.
Broadcast on Tuesday (12/21), it turned out that episode 6 became a hot topic and stole the "trilingrung" hearts of viewers to get a new rating of 4.0 percent nationally and 4.4 percent in Seoul. Based on Nielsen Korea's records , this figure is "Our Beloved Summer"'s personal record since its broadcast. Meanwhile, this drama can be watched every Monday and Tuesday at 22.00 local time.
Choi Woo Shik And Kim Da Mi's Relationship Experiences A Turning Point On 'Our Beloved Summer'
'Our Beloved Summer' Tells The Story Of A Former Couple Choi Woong (Choi Woo Shik) And Guk Yeon Soo (Kim Da Mi), Whose Relationship Does Not End Well.
" Our Beloved Summer " will air the latest episode on Tuesday (21/12). Ahead of the broadcast, the production team of SBS's latest romantic drama presented photos of scenes belonging to a series of main players.
A few years later, the documentary they shot in high school suddenly gained popularity.
This causes a change in the feelings of Kim Ji Woong ( Kim Sung Cheol ) who turns out to have liked Guk Yeon Soo.
In addition, Choi Woong apologizes to Guk Yeon Soo for everything and agrees to team up with his rival Nu Ah ( Kwak Dong Yeon ). On the night before the project, Guk Yeon Soo visited Choi Woong's house, and surprised him when he asked, "Do you want to sleep?"
The latest stills show Choi Woong and Nu Ah at a drawing event that was broadcast live and there is a strong tension between them. Choi Woong was completely immersed in his image and his eyes sparkled more than ever.
Nu Ah, the person involved in the plagiarism dispute with Choi Woong also focused on the illustrations. Guk Yeon Soo's eyes were also filled with complex emotions. Maybe because Choi Woong's attitude suddenly changed.
Also at the event was Kim Ji Woong, who noticed a subtle change in herself as well as NJ ( Spirit of Jeong Eui ), who made the place crowded with joy with her surprising appearance.
There will be a decisive turning point in their relationship. Please listen to Guk Yeon Soo's confession, which will be a different story. from Choi Woong and Kim Ji Woong."

IOSH News
Dr Bill Gunnyeon CBE appointed IOSH chair of Board of Trustees
Open-access content Wednesday 3rd February 2016
Dr Bill Gunnyeon CBE was confirmed in the role at a meeting of the chartered body's governing council. Appointed Chief Medical Adviser, Director for Health and Wellbeing and Chief Scientist at the UK's Department for Work and Pensions in 2005, Dr Gunnyeon led the health and work agenda within government for nearly a decade.
During his time at DWP he developed a deep understanding of health and safety regulation from six years as director level sponsor of the Health and Safety Executive, overseeing the Government response to the Löfstedt review of health and safety legislation and playing a key role in the development of the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
He commissioned the two key scientific evidence reviews in health and work and vocational rehabilitation, delivered and implemented the government response to Dame Carol Black's Review of the health of working age people, introduced the new fit note, oversaw the government response to the Independent Review of Sickness Absence and led the development of the new Fit for Work Service.
In his new role, Dr Gunnyeon will be instrumental in shaping the future of the safety and health profession, working with IOSH members to deliver a new strategy for the leading professional body.
He said: "The health and wellbeing of working age people has never been more important to economic success than it is today and health and safety professionals have a key role to play in protecting and promoting the health and wellbeing of all those at work. For those professionals the quality of education, training, on-going professional development and support available to them is critical to fulfilling their roles and IOSH provides the robust framework on which this all depends.
"I feel hugely privileged therefore to be asked to lead the Trustee Board at this exciting time for the organisation as it looks to the future and prepares to set its strategic direction for the next five years.
"Having the right strategy in place, the best organisation to deliver that strategy and the appropriate level of scrutiny will ensure the secure foundation on which to realise the considerable further potential that IOSH so clearly has. Most importantly of course we must also ensure that it continues to meet the needs of each and every member as they develop and progress through their career.
"I look forward very much to working with everyone involved with IOSH in the exciting times ahead."
A Past-President of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine of which he is a Fellow, Dr Gunnyeon is also Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London, a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners. He was awarded a CBE in 2009.
He now works as an independent strategic consultant.
IOSH President Dr Karen McDonnell said: "The timing of Bill Gunnyeon taking up his role as Chair of the IOSH Board of Trustees is perfect -- we are at the outset of developing a new five-year strategy to cement our position as the leading membership organisation for health and safety professionals globally.
"His understanding of the health and safety network and how to influence at the highest level will reinforce the value of our Institution and the role each of our members has in creating a world of work that is safe, healthy and sustainable."
