Q: How to put image as letterbox in video When I converted my video using Azure Media Services to format 9x16 letterboxes appeared in the top and the bottom. I used stretchMode: "AutoFit" so letterbox is actually a normal effect here.

Pad the output (with either letterbox or pillar box) to honor the output resolution, while ensuring that the active video region in the output has the same aspect ratio as the input. For example, if the input is 1920x1080 and the encoding preset asks for 1280x1280, then the output will be at 1280x1280, which contains an inner rectangle of 1280x720 at aspect ratio of 16:9, and pillar box regions 280 pixels wide at the left and right.

However I wonder if this is possible to put an image there instead of having them just black.
My video looks like this:

A: No, we do not currently support placing background images during a stretch or letterboxing operation. If possible, and you do not have a ton of these videos to process, I recommend running them through a free compositing application like BlackMagic's Davinci Resolve to get the intended effect and then uploading the final output for streaming.

Louisville ad firm announces expansion and move to historic downtown
Rendering of BUZZ Advertising's new office. (RedTag Digital)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Louisville-based firm that has generated worldwide buzz with its innovative approach to advertising and marketing will soon be moving its headquarters to downtown Louisville. BUZZ Advertising will relocate its office to a prime piece of downtown real estate in order to keep pace with its growing business.
On May 10, the ad agency purchased 234 East Main Street, and plans to call the more than 100-year-old, 10,595 s.f. structure its new home by late 2019.
Founded in 2005, BUZZ is one of the fastest growing local companies in the industry; boasting clients such as The PGA of America, PANDORA Jewelry and the Louisville MEGA Cavern. BUZZ continues to build a portfolio of clients and recognized the need to expand its physical footprint. The agency plans to hire additional employees and offer new services to meet the needs of their current and future clients.
"I'm proud to say that our company outgrew our space on Frankfort Avenue faster than we anticipated," said David Grantz, owner and founder of BUZZ Advertising. "We've only been in this building for a few years. I knew it was time for us to make a bold move. Downtown Louisville is clearly undergoing a renaissance. If we were going to become a top tier ad agency, we needed to make a statement and plant our flag in the heart of downtown."
The $1.6 million East Main Street location, owned by MTM Enterprises Inc., was erected in 1905 as the Mitchell R. Saloon; 10 years later it became home to Rehm Zeiher Wholsale Whiskies Company. Following the end of prohibition, the building became Fairfield Distributing Company.
"I think we are just tasting the very beginning of the bourbon boom. How ironic is it that our new downtown office has hints of old whiskey and limestone water running through its veins," said Grantz.
The three-story building and adjacent garage will be completely renovated, a process expected to take between four to six months. Once completed, it will also house RedTag Digital, the region's premier social media/digital advertising firm that works in tandem with BUZZ.
Grantz is no stranger to historic renovations. BUZZ is currently located at 1801 Frankfort Avenue, next door to the Silver Dollar and across the street from The Champagnery. The Frankfort Avenue building underwent an extensive restoration, protecting the traditional facade while creating a modern-chic interior. Grantz intends to lease the Frankfort Avenue property once all renovations have been completed to the agency's East Main Street building.
"With the addition of the $63 million dollar Waterfront Botanical Gardens and new $60 – $65 million Louisville City FC soccer stadium going in just one mile away from our historic building on Frankfort Ave, I knew it was best for us to hold onto this property rather than sell it. It's exciting to see so many positive changes taking place all over our city," said Grantz.
Financing for the new BUZZ Advertising building went through PNC Bank. "We are privileged to have a long-standing relationship with BUZZ Advertising and to now support their expansion and new location," said Kim Fritts, PNC Business Banking market manager for Louisville. "The financing we worked to deliver for BUZZ Advertising reflects our focus on helping small business clients achieve their financial goals based on a deep understanding of their needs not only for today but well into the future."

Q: Class with functions that extends more than one implementation of the same data structure. Can be done? I'm studying Data Structures in my CS course.
University professor assigned us a project where we have to implement every data structure from 0 without using the already one provided by the programming language we choosed to use.
All of this is required for pass his lab part of the exam:

*

*For every data structure we have to develop more than one known implementations.
 An istance : For the List data structure
              We have to develop ArrayList, LinkedList and DoubleLinkedList in separate
              classes and packages.

*We have to follow the known formal specifications.
 An istance : For the List class
              We can only declare "data structure releated" members and attributes
              Like create,delete,head,isEmpty,isLast,next,previous,insert,write,read,remove

I completed those ones, but
I need to put "services functions" in a separated class/file for every Data Structure and it should work for every class(implementation) of them.
then following the istances above:
I have to develop a class/file named "ListServices" that should "extend" every class like:
MyArrayList
MyLinkedList
MyDoubleLinkedList
For Services I mean "not needed" functions for the data structures like:
printList() //it prints the whole list
goToList(position : Int) //goes to the position using Integers
sortList(whichsort : String, order : String) //whichsort = quicksort,mergesort and order ascending/descending
purgeList() //it deletes all the "dupled" elements(or the more than 2 occurances per element)
Usually I will define those in every class that I named above like this:
class MyArrayList<T>{
.
.
.
fun printList(){}
}

class MyLinkedList<T>{
.
.
.
fun printList(){}
}

class MyDoubleLinkedList<T>{
.
.
.
fun printList(){}
}

import edu.uni.lists.MyArrayList as MyList //or whatever other implementation I will interchange instead of MyArrayList

fun main() {
        val l1 = MyList<String> ()
        l1.create() //init
        if(l1.isEmpty())
            println("List is empty")

        l1.insert("11",l1.head())
        l1.insert("10",l1.head())
        l1.insert("9",l1.head())
        l1.insert("8",l1.head())
        l1.insert("7",l1.head())
        l1.insert("69",l1.head())
        l1.printList() //should print the whole list

}

Whatever the implementation I use, printList() will use only the data structure operators and nothing else.
The code of printList() is the same for every List Implementation.
I cannot place Services Function there!
I need to "move out" printlist()[and others services functions] from the List Implementations to another class or file.
How can I fullfill this request with Kotlin?
Thanks you all.
P.S. = I'm not an english native person, sorry if I'm not clear as you expect, feel free to ask more and I will reply!

A: you should create an inteface and extend it in all your clases
interface ListServices {
    fun printList()
}
class myArrayList<T> : ListServices {}
class myLinkedList<T> : ListServices {}
class myDoubleLinkedList<T> : ListServices {}

Or if you dont want to create a relationship between these classes, you can use extension functions
object ListServices {
    fun <T> myArrayList<T>.printList() {}
    fun <T> myLinkedList<T>.printList() {}
    fun <T> myDoubleLinkedList<T>.printList() {}
}

T is a type parameter, you must declare it before the name of the function. If your print function doesnt care about this type, you can use the star-projection:
class myArrayList<T>(var foo: T)

object ListServices {
    fun myArrayList<*>.printList() {
        // here foo type is Any?
    }
}


As the residential hem of Manhattan crept further northward in the 1820s and '30s, the block of Franklin Street between Church Street and West Broadway saw the rise of Federal style brick homes. In 1833 builder James Russell purchased the 25-foot wide plot at No. 103 Franklin Street.
Within the year a three-story brick house was completed, most likely the work of Russell himself. The following year, early in 1835, he sold it to the 43-year old George Ehninger, who was no ordinary merchant.
Before her marriage Ehninger's mother was Catharine Astor, sister to John Jacob Astor. She and her husband, John Christopher Ehninger, had arrived in New York in the late 18th century and George was born here in 1792. Educated at Columbia College; he marriage Eliza Whetten in 1822. Through the influence of her father, Captain John Whetten, the young couple was socially and professionally connected with the Brevoorts, Sedgwicks, and other important New York families.
George Ehninger died just four months later, on May 6, 1851. By now commercial interests were inching nearer to Franklin Street. Before long, just three decades after they were built, its houses would be converted to businesses.
By 1866 No. 103 Franklin Street was owned by S. Heilpern. The building had already been leased to commercial tenants, one of which was burglarized in 1865.
Archibald P. Bachman ran his shop here. The small operation created silk net and lace. One of his employees, a lace maker named Paul Greensmith, lived upstairs and, according to The New York Times, girls employed at the International Hotel, had rooms in the house as well.
On the night of August 12, 1865 Greensmith saw a man leaving the building with a black leather valise. Suspecting that something was amiss, he "pursued and catechized the fellow, but could learn nothing satisfactory," according to The Times 12 days later. He found a private watchman, Officer Quick, and the two chased the man own Church Street, then along White Street towards West Broadway. All the while they hollered for the regular patrolmen—Officers O'Rourk, Calhoun, See and Regan—whose beats were along those blocks. None of them responded.
Greensmith and Quirk complained to the court that the police officers were nowhere to be found when needed. It was a grievous mistake. The police department went on the defensive and in clearing its patrolmen, cleared the burglar.
Dunham increased No. 103 to four stories and extended it to the rear. The cast iron base for the retail space featured fluted Corinthian columns with ornate, leafy capitals. The highly-attractive Italianate upper floors were distinguished by inventive paneled brick quoins running up the sides. Dunham used cast iron for the handsome lintels and the cast metal sills were upheld by pretty flower-like brackets. A cast, bracketed cornice completed the design.
The transformed building filled with other lace and cotton goods dealers. Among the first was Henry R. Thompson. On October 26, 1871 his clerk, Joseph Howard, was imprisoned in the Tombs for stealing five pieces of cotton goods from his employer, valued at $32.
Hoffstadt Bros. was here about the same time, making "fine lace goods." The company would remain here until declaring bankruptcy in 1885.
An unusual tenant in 1885 was Robert Solteau, whose firm sold rubber. The company sued rubber broker Henry A. Smith for fraud in December that year. According to Solteau's agent, Andrew Shenkel, in April Smith had reported he had made a sale of 10 tons of Borneo rubber to be delivered on July 15 to the National Rubber Company of Bristol, Rhode Island.
Smith received the nearly $9,000 in rubber; but failed to pay. When Shenkel wrote to the National Rubber Company, he was informed that they had never placed an order. Smith, whom The New York Times described as "a young man of good appearance," was found guilty of fraud.
Smith did sell the rubber to a Boston company, but he pocketed the $20,000 and the profits and fled to Canada.
None of the tenants in No. 103 Franklin Street were as colorful and arguably obnoxious as Frederick S. Pinkus, a principal with Otto Jaffe in the firm O. Jaffe & Pinkus, linen importers. The company had been located on Leonard Street in the 1890s, but had relocated to Franklin Street in 1902.
Wealthy and socially-connected, Pinkus appears to have felt he was above the law. In June 1904 he returned from Europe on the Campania, bringing with him $2,100 worth of jewelry, clothing, liquor and glassware that he and his wife had purchased. Rather than pay duty, he attempted to slip Customs Inspector Calder J. Walcott a bribe.
Pinkus managed to stay of out jail, but he was fined $7,000 for the smuggling. His attempt to avoid the $1,011.53 duty got even costlier in April when the law division of the Custom House began forfeiture proceedings for the goods. On April 4, 1906 Pinkus told authorities he would pay for the cost of the goods and the duty. Apparently Mrs. Pinkus did not want to give up her glassware and jewelry.
The next day The Sun reported that Pinkus "is out of pocket $2,704.46 more." The total of $9,704.46 in fines, duty and cost of goods would be equivalent to about $265,000 today.
Frederick Pinkus was back in court on September 1912 defending himself in a sordid case. At around 2:00 on the morning of September 20, 20-year old dressmaker Elsie Hutter was on her way home after a party. She was waiting for the streetcar at 23rd Street and Broadway when Pinkus pulled up in his automobile and pretended to ask for directions to Harlem. With him was a friend, A. G. Winchester.
Pinkus offered the young woman a ride, which she declined. But finally he persuaded her to get in. When the car reached the middle of the block on Seventh Avenue at 44th Street, Pinkus stopped the car and, according to The Sun the following day, he "started to embrace her." Elsie told the court the next morning she had to defend herself with a hat pin.
The judge was not as amused as was Pinkus; and all laughter stopped when Magistrate Krotel addressed him.
Two years later O'Jaffe & Pinkus, Ltd. relocated.
No. 103 Franklin continued to house linen and cotton goods dealers throughout the first half of the century. In 1916 Blum Brothers took space here, around the same time that Farley, Harvey & Co., linens, moved in.
Later the building was purchased by F. Frisch, Inc., linen importers. The firm owned the property until 1955.
The Tribeca neighborhood suffered neglect in the second half of the 20th century. In 1992 No. 103 Franklin Street was boarded up and vacant. But a renaissance of the area brought renewed life in the form of trendy shops, cafes and residential space.
In May 2006 a renovation of the building was completed that resulted in modern store space at sidewalk level and three apartments in the upper floors—a single apartment on the second floor and two duplexes above.
Although chunks of the sophisticated Corinthian capitals have been lost and the storefront modernized; most of Dunham's handsome structure survives.
103 Franklin was the first place I lived when I moved to New York from Toledo Ohio in 1981. I lived in an artist's loft on the second floor, quite nice. The famous artist Richard Artschwager had one of the floors in the building also. It was strange that the storefront was never occupied for many years. Something to do with elderly landlord not wanting to rent it out.
Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for the added info. Always enjoy hearing first hand accounts.

Calculating Interior Angles of a Triangle
The interior angles of any triangle have a total sum of 180°. Based on the lengths of their sides, we can distinguish three types of triangles: equilateral, isosceles, and scalene. Depending on the type of triangle we have, we can use different methods to calculate the measures of the interior angles.
Here, we will learn how to calculate all the interior angles of equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles.
Learning about the interior angles of a triangle with examples.
See angles
Sum of interior angles of a triangle
Calculate the interior angles of an equilateral triangle
Calculate the interior angles of an isosceles triangle
Calculate the interior angles of a scalene triangle
All triangles have a sum of interior angles equal to 180°. To verify this, we can use the following diagram:
Each interior angle is represented in a different color. The line x drawn at the top vertex of the triangle is parallel to the base of the triangle. This means that we form corresponding angles. That is, the blue angles are the same and the red angles are also the same.
Therefore, in the top vertex, we have three angles that complete the straight line, so their sum must be equal to 180°.
An equilateral triangle is characterized by having all the sides with the same length and all the internal angles with the same measure. We can find the measure of the interior angles of these triangles by remembering that all triangles have an angle sum of 180°.
Since the angles in an equilateral triangle are equal, we have to divide 180° by 3 to get the measure of an angle. Therefore, we have:
180°÷3 = 60°
Each of the interior angles of an equilateral triangle is equal to 60°.
An isosceles triangle is characterized by having two sides with the same length and the third side with a different length. Furthermore, isosceles triangles also have two angles with the same measure and the third angle with a different measure.
Therefore, in order to determine the measure of all the interior angles of an isosceles triangle, we have to know the measure of at least one angle.
What are the measures of all the interior angles of the triangle below?
Solution: The angles that are represented by the double line are equal, so we have b=70°.
Now, to find the measure of the other angle, we add the known angles and subtract from 180°. Therefore, we have:
70°+70° = 140°
⇒ 180°-140° = 40°
The measure of angle a is 40°.
Determine the measures of the interior angles of the triangle below.
Solution: Angles a and b are equal since they are represented by the double line and have the same color. Therefore, we can find its measure by subtracting the known angle from 180° and then dividing by 2. Thus, we have:
180°-50° = 130°
Since both angles are equal, we divide the result by 2 to get the measure of an angle:
The measure of angles a and b is 65°.
Scalene triangles are characterized by having all their sides with different lengths. This also means that all the interior angles of a scalene triangle have different measures. Therefore, in order to find the measure of an internal angle of a scalene triangle, we need to know the measures of the other two angles.
Find the missing angle of the triangle below.
Solution: In this case, we have to add the given angles and subtract the result from 180°. Therefore, we have:
Therefore, the measure of the missing angle is 50°.
Determine the measure of the missing angle in the triangle below.
Solution: Similar to the previous example, we add the measures of the given angles and subtract the result from 180°. Therefore, we have:

The Malvizza mud volcanoes are the largest array of mud volcanoes in the southern Apennines of Italy. The phenomenon is purely sedimentary in nature, in contrast to volcanic phenomena like mofette, fumaroles, and solfatare. The Malvizza mud volcanoes show some affinities with the salse (saltwater springs) of the central-northern Apennines and with the maccalube (mud fountains) of Sicily.

Location and description
The Malvizza mud volcanoes (from , the name of a bird in the Irpinia dialect) are located in the Campania Apennines, in the municipal territory of Montecalvo Irpino, along a plateau of the Miscano valley at an altitude of  above sea level. They are characterized by the emission of gaseous hydrocarbons—primarily methane, which at most sites accounts for more than 90% of emissions—as well as a continuous flow of weakly alkaline water (pH = 8) at a temperature of . The solid component of the mud is composed of more than 95% illitic clay, with only traces of calcite and quartz. The deep layers of the subsoil of the Malvizza mud volcanoes are primarily scaly clays, alternating with regular layers of brecciole and nummulitic limestone.

The volcanoes are located along the provincial road that leads from the state road 90 bis to Castelfranco in Miscano. The existence of an additional single mud volcano is attested on the opposite side of the Miscano valley, about 5 km from the site of the Malvizza mud volcanoes. It is located along the Fràscino arm (a branch of the Pescasseroli-Candela sheep track), south of the Miscano river, and at an altitude of  above sea level.

Cause
The mud volcanoes are caused by the presence of deep deposits of gaseous hydrocarbons which, in response to the compressive tectonic stresses typical of the Apennines-Adriatic area, tend to rise towards the surface. This produces bubbling in the spring waters they infiltrate.

Due to extensive liquid emissions, the volcanoes' surface structures are short in height, even during droughts. They are sometimes nearly flat due to rainwater erosion, which enlarges the affected area and inhibits the development of vegetation.

The presence of methane and other flammable (and potentially explosive) gases in the subsoil is well-known in the Miscano valley. In 1867, a firedamp spill and its subsequent explosion (triggered by torches used for lighting) caused the death of an entire team of workers during the construction of the Cristina railway tunnel near the station at Castelfranco in Miscano, along the Naples-Foggia line. This incident occurred almost halfway between the Fràscino branch and the Malvizza mud volcanoes.

Scientific interest
The Malvizza mud volcanoes (and more generally the Miscano valley) have been the subject of scientific studies to determine the possible exploitation of natural gas resources, the volcanoes' contribution to the global greenhouse effect (methane is a typical greenhouse gas), and the hypothesis that abnormal variations in emission radon levels may be precursors of seismic events. The site is also an ecological niche of a very peculiar microflora and microfauna. In 2005, a new species of gram-positive bacterium Alkalicoccus saliphilus was discovered, isolated among the green algae of the Malvizza Bubbles. This new species shows a 99.9% affinity with a strain of bacteria isolated in a soda lake in Inner Mongolia (China), and over 97% with two other strains isolated in a lake basin of the Rift Valley (Kenya).

"Miss Virginia": Uzo Adoba brings champion for children to the big screen
A woman scrubs the bathroom floor on her hands and knees, hair pulled back in a scarf. Another woman dressed in a business suit applies lipstick at the mirror. Both are mothers. Both are black. One is a congresswoman. The other cleans the toilets and floors in the congresswoman's office. And soon after their meeting in the bathroom, they become fierce opponents over the right for all students, including poor ones in Washington, D.C., to attend a quality school.
This is a scene early in the film "Miss Virginia," a true-story drama about mom-turned- education-activist Virginia Walden (Ford), who launches the grass-roots organization D.C. Parents for School Choice in 1998. The group's goal was the establishment of a scholarship program so that low-income children could escape their local public schools and gain access to private schools.
Virginia Walden, played by Uzo Adoba, is a community hero whose courage and love for her son—and for other people's children—drives her to stand up to the status-quo protectors in charge of running her city. She quickly realizes that the last thing the elected officials want is a brave and informed mom with the fire inside to launch a movement.
Virginia Walden doesn't blink.
The bathroom scene serves as a metaphor for how those in power dismiss the people they claim to serve, hoarding access to opportunity while denying it to those they represent. The congresswoman literally has to look down to converse with her cleaning lady, who is also a constituent. Walden has taken the cleaning job to pay for her son's new private school. The situation at his zoned high school has reached a crisis point, and Virginia knows that if she doesn't take drastic action, she is going to lose her son. But when the time comes for her to pay his tuition, despite her relentless efforts, the amount in the envelope she hands to the school director is not the amount required for a semester of school.
James is forced to leave the school and return to his previous high school. Amidst that pain and disappointment, a parent activist is born.
Walden joins forces with an unlikely ally—white, Harvard-educated Congressman Clifford Williams, played by Matthew Modine. While most of the black elected officials fight against Miss Virginia's efforts to increase educational options for the children in her community, this Ivy League–educated white dude who loves long-shot legislation and golf becomes invaluable to her efforts. He drafts the legislation that ultimately becomes the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program.
The public schools that Walden encounters as a mother in the 1990s are a human tragedy—less than 10 percent of black fourth graders are proficient in reading. Families of means, including all of the lawmakers who consistently vote against bills that would help poor parents, secure better options for their own children. Virtually all of the D.C.'s schools are unacceptable for their own children, yet they expect Walden and the other parents in the nation's capital to accept them for their children.
Fast forward to 2019 and there are still countless parents in the same situation in which Walden finds herself in the film. Nationally, only 10 percent of black boys read at grade level. It should not be lost on anyone that 85 percent of juvenile offenders are functionally illiterate and 70 percent of inmates in America's prisons cannot read above a fourth grade level. To quote Dr. Howard Fuller, who was on the front lines with Virginia Walden during the 1990s and continues in that battle today, "How can you say you've got a good school if your students can't read?"
During the film, Virginia Walden watches this very phenomenon play out before her eyes. She sees boys dropping out, selling drugs, going to jail, and getting shot. She knows in her heart that most, if not all, of these boys' lives could have been different if they had been given access to the education they needed and deserved. She fears for her son.
Those of us who support family autonomy and educational freedom stand on the shoulders of giants like Virginia Walden Ford in the work of getting all children access to the schools they deserve. In "Miss Virginia," we see one mother, one profile in courage, put it all on the line for her son and for the sons and daughters of every family in D.C. who wants better for their children but doesn't have the money to access it. Twenty years later, as opposition to programs like the DC Opportunity Scholarship grows among the political classes on the left, we must remember the words Walden speaks to the elected officials looking down on her from behind their microphones: "You will do right by my son. This is America. You cannot, you will not, deny our children their right to learn."
Miss Virginia will be released in select theaters October 18th and is available for pre-order on iTunes.. The New York Times, USA Today, and Essence Magazine have called it a must-see movie.
This essay was first published by Project Forever Free.
Erika Sanzi spent a decade as a teacher and school dean before becoming a full-time education advocate. She also served a term as an elected school committee member. Her love for writing coupled with her willingness to take on people in power has led her to spend much of her time responding to status-quo protectors inclined to put adult interests ahead of kids. She is particularly focused on inequities in the system,…

Nahum Megged
Anthropologist Nahum Megged, one of the most prominent researchers of ancient civilizations on the American continents, has published numerous books, including some bestsellers, about indigenous cultural heritage, including Aztec rituals, Native American mythology, pre-Columbian civilizations, shamanism, magic, and witchcraft.
He grew up reading as many books as possible that took him to a different, more exciting world. He also wrote endlessly, mainly poetry, with his poems published in local newspapers and weekly magazines.
Nahum lived in Colombia with his wife for two years, where he established an interfaith dialogue center, completed his multidisciplinary religious studies, and immersed himself in the world of primordial beliefs. He embarked on anthropological expeditions to the forests and villages, where he studied shamanism and the religions connecting man and nature. He was also an activist, promoting the rights of indigenous tribes. The Mayan shamans told him that he is an incarnation of one of them, despite his white appearance.
The Mexican government awarded Nahum the Order of the Aztec Eagle, and the Guatemalan government appointed him an honorary cultural attaché. When Time Is Cracked and the Trees Cry is a novel that combines the author's intimate knowledge of contemporary American indigenous cultures with a surprisingly powerful literary imagination.


What is the Body Life Skills Program all about?
The Body Life Skills Program offers a simple, practical, user friendly and life changing 3-step process bringing about lasting behaviour change.
To create lasting behaviour change, we must be willing to identify the reason why the behaviour is occuring.
The Body Life Skills program understands that all unwanted behaviour is a result of anxiety first.
"Anxiety is not feeling equipped to respond to what is in front of you"
All unwanted behaviours, words, thoughts or feelings expressed from any person's body, occur as a result of a person not perceiving they have the required skills to respond to what life has presented them at any given moment.
When a person perceives they have the required skills to respond to what life is presenting, their body is more likely to express using wanted behaviours, words, thoughts and feelings.
Identify when a body (yours or another person) is reacting (using unwanted behaviours) in response to life (the reason for behaviour).
Identify the reason … the part of life the person does not feel like they have all the required skills to respond to.
Learn the skills so they feel equipped and ready to commit to partaking in life to their full capacity.
When implemented successfully the Body Life Skills Program will bring about positive and lasting change for individuals, families, groups, organisations and government departments working in the fields of behaviour management, mental health, disability, justice, education and psychological well-being; even in cases when other attempts have failed.

Why Global Citizens Should Care
Without equal rights and fair systems, people living in poverty lack the protections and resources to live peacefully and safely. Global Citizen's Recovery Plan for the World calls for global justice-centered approaches to COVID-19 relief to help end extreme poverty. You can join us and take action on this issue here.
Ending extreme poverty won't be possible in a world where people aren't afforded the same rights or treatment by the legal system because of their identity or socioeconomic background.
COVID-19 has laid bare the inequalities and injustices people face globally, and the collective response to the pandemic must be fair and inclusive of everyone in order to create systemic change. That means gender equality, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, disability rights, and economic justice must all be front and center.
In 2015, the international community pledged to achieve the United Nations' Global Goals and end extreme poverty by 2030 by leaving no one behind. Without urgent action, it will become an even greater challenge to recover from the pandemic and ensure everyone can live without barriers to health, equity, education, and economic stability.
Even before COVID-19, the world wasn't on track to ensure people of all genders, races, sexual orientations, and abilities could reach their full potential. Marginalized communities are the most vulnerable in times of crisis and no group has gone unscathed. The pandemic has taken a tremendous toll on women; Black and Indigenous people and communities of color; LGBTQ+ people; people with disabilities; and people living in poverty.
It's still too soon to measure the full impact COVID-19 will have on society, but there is already an opportunity to come together and provide equity and justice for all in spite of the pandemic.
Here's why world leaders, corporations, philanthropists, activists, and everyday Global Citizens must take action.
How Can We Build a World With Equity and Justice for All?
The world must prioritize equity and justice in COVID-19 recovery plans to prevent leaving anyone behind in the fight to end extreme poverty. Organizations that advocate for global justice and promote human rights will require extra support, and the private sector — along with business leaders — will also need to commit to justice.
All people, regardless of their race, gender, sexual identity or orientation, and abilities must have access to justice and equal rights, which are key to building a sustainable world. The international community must come together to end all forms of violence and abuse, promote strong institutions, and inclusive leadership.
3 Things You Should Know About Equity and Justice
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 5 billion people worldwide lacked access to justice, and nearly 1.5 billion people had an unresolved justice issue. The COVID-19 global response needs to be people-centered and fair to deliver more equitable and just outcomes for everyone and prevent undoing progress.
People living in extreme poverty are especially at risk of crime and abuse. Without access to legal protections, they are more vulnerable to losing ownership of their property and land, exploitation (which can often result in violence), and experiencing long-term disadvantages.
Marginalized groups and vulnerable communities — including women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, and people with disabilities — are disproportionately impacted by issues of equity and justice, largely due to poverty, discrimination, public prejudice, and lack of education and literacy. These barriers prevent them from participating fully in their societies and put them at risk of further marginalization.

How Does Equity and Justice Impact People Around the World?
We can't create a more sustainable society without making sure that access to justice isn't determined by someone's identity or financial situation.
Marginalized groups require more protection and support but often face persecution at higher rates and come across additional obstacles within the justice system.
Women are more likely to live in poverty and tend to encounter more barriers to justice. Many countries don't enforce laws against gender-based violence and abuse, and women don't always feel comfortable reporting incidents due to stigma and how these crimes are usually dealt with. The compounding impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are putting more women in positions where they don't have the resources to seek the protection or defense that they need.
Women are being pushed out of the workforce in record numbers due to taking on more caregiving responsibilities, and the virus has disproportionately hurt industries in which women are overrepresented. They're are also experiencing increased domestic violence in what is being referred to as the "shadow pandemic" — more women are stuck at home with their abusers during lockdowns and domestic violence rates are increasing worldwide. In Mexico, for example, where femicide is on the rise, calls reporting domestic violence increased more than 30% in 2020. What's more, harmful practices such as child marriage and female genital mutilation are expected to worsen. The pandemic put an additional 500,000 girls at risk of child marriage as families turned to the pratice as a way to alleviate financial burdens.
LGBTQ+ people are also vulnerable to increased criminalization and abuse by law enforcement and are losing support from the organizations and initiatives that help them survive. The pandemic has threatened LGBTQ+ people's livelihoods and access to health and social services at higher rates, further threatening their well-being and safety. Some countries have used COVID-19 as an excuse to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people even more. The Hungarian government used the timing of the pandemic to introduce legislation that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in the country in May. Police officers in several countries are further targeting LGBTQ+ people under the guise of enforcing social distancing and stay-at-home orders. Meanwhile, in South Korea, LGBTQ+ people have been accused of spreading COVID-19.
For people living with disabilities, discrimination has long existed in the workplace, health systems, and daily life, but now unequal care and mistreatment is heightened. Of the 1 billion people in the world with a disability, 80% live in developing countries and are more likely to experience high rates of violence, neglect, and abuse. According to the UN, some countries are discriminating against people with disabilities when making decisions about who to treat for COVID-19.
Discrimination and unequal treatment by law enforcement on the basis of religion and race is occurring at disproportionate rates in countries worldwide. People of color, who have a more difficult time accessing health care and are more likely to live in poverty, have been hit harder by COVID-19 globally and are taking longer to recover economically, further exposing unjust systems.
Overcrowded housing, environmental risks, jobs in fields that are more exposed to COVID-19, and bias in health systems are all putting people of color at a higher risk during the pandemic. In the US, Black Americans are dying at twice the rate of any other ethnic or racial group in the country due to social conditions and structural racism that has led to a lack of access to health care and more pre-existing conditions within the community. COVID-19 is also showing health disparities among racial groups in São Paulo, Brazil, where people of color are 62% more likely to die from the virus. Pakistani and Bangladeshi people are dying at double the rate of white people in the UK.
Months into the pandemic in 2020, the world once again reckoned with racial inequality. People rallied to hold their institutions, governments, and communities accountable for unfair and brutal attacks on people of color, especially the Black community. There was global support for Black Lives Matter protests in the US calling to end systemic racism in the wake of the filmed murder of Black man George Floyd by a white police officer. The #EndSARS movement to stop police brutality in Nigeria also gained traction around the world.
Now that the people have applied pressure, the world is waiting on governments and leaders to act on the issue.

How Can We Take Action to Build a World Centered on Equity and Justice?
A COVID-19 recovery plan that prioritizes equity and justice is not only key to ending the pandemic but also ending extreme poverty.
Global Goal 16 for peace, justice, and strong institutions aims to achieve equity and justice for all by reducing all forms of violence and related deaths; ending abuse, exploitation, and trafficking against children; promoting the rule of law; combating organized crime; reducing corruption; creating transparent institutions; ensuring inclusive decision-making; and strengthening the participation of developing countries' global governance institutions.
Everyone has a role to play, and that includes governments, corporations, philanthropists, activists, and everyday Global Citizens.
Global Citizen's Recovery Plan for the World aims to mobilize $250 million to support organizations that are advocating for global justice and promoting human rights through their initiatives.
The Equity Response Network, made up of partner organizations working to help meet that $250 million goal, is actively pushing to achieve gender equality, racial equity, criminal justice reform, the inclusion of people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ rights.
The Business Leaders for Justice Coalition — a collaboration between Global Citizen and the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just, and Inclusive Societies; the National Legal Aid and Defender Association; and the Responsible Business Initiative for Justice — will engage the private sector and business leaders in committing to justice.
Global Citizens can take action here and call on leaders to make equity and justice for all a reality.

The dark, grim and gritty production of Machinal, Sophie Treadwell's 1928 play about the confines of society, is currently shining a much-needed light on our culture.
Treadwell's work, inspired by Ruth Snyder, the first New York woman to be put to death by the electric chair for the murder of her husband, has been given a stunning revival by the Roundabout Theatre Company. This aesthetically and emotionally stimulating production, starring Rebecca Hall in an impressive Broadway debut, provokes countless thoughts about gender roles and societal conventions, both in the 1920s and now.
Machinal introduces the audience to Young Woman, an office worker who feels suffocated by her life, and whose only foreseeable escape is to marry Husband, (Michael Cumpsty, once again playing the spurned man). Unsatisfied in her marriage – at first she cannot bear the touch of her husband – she finds solace in the arms of Lover (Morgan Spector), as well as inspiration as to how she might, at last, find freedom from the endless mechanical rotations of her life.
Impressively staged on Es Devlin's set, which resembles a machine in its nonstop steady rotating of scenes, Machinal offers a blunt, unforgiving look at the stifling confines of Young Woman's life. She cannot even ride the subway to work without needing escape from the tight limits of the car, and when she leaves her office, she goes home to her mother (Suzanne Bertish), with whom she does not share a close or comforting relationship.
Despite her disgust with Husband, Young Woman marries him and eventually has a child; the post-natal scene in the hospital, where she is clearly struck with severe postpartum depression, is especially moving. The script of Machinal includes a few lengthy monologues of the protagonist's stream of consciousness, depicting her panic with the life the surrounds her – and seemingly suffocates her – as well as the lack of options for escape.
As the Husband, Cumpsty gives a solid performance; the steady deadpan delivery of his monotonous lines is especially effective. It's clear he is a product of his time, and he knows no other way to exist, even if it is infuriating when his wife begins sobbing uncontrollably on their wedding night, he calmly states, "There's nothing to cry about… give us a kiss!" Spector is also very good as the Lover, giving a performance of nuance and appeal. It's easy to see how Young Woman is so susceptible to his charms and the idea of freedom that he personifies.
And Hall is outstanding. In her Broadway debut, she is captivating in a complicated and demanding role. Her emotional journey is a lengthy one and she delivers solidly, evoking sympathy even when committing cold-blooded murder and lying about it on the stand in court.

Authorities have said the death toll in Mozambique is 217, 98 in Zimbabwe and 56 in Malawi. These figures are expected to rise as the full extent of the devastation will only be known once the water recedes.
The UN World Food Programme said that analysis of their satellite imagery suggests that up to 1.7 million people in Mozambique were in Idai's path.
Challenges remain in terms of rescue operations and access to aid as heavy large areas are underwater, roads have been washed away and power lines are down.
Travis Tower, an aid worker for Rescue South Africa gave an account from a rescue operation on Friday.
"The women were throwing their babies from the trees into our paddle boats. We only managed to get 20 children before we had to call off the operation. Unfortunately, when we went back to that place in the morning, those people were no longer there."
Mozambique's president, Filipe Nyusi, declared a state of emergency and three days of mourning on Wednesday. He has also appealed to the international community for assistance. The UN Central Emergency Response Fund has allocated $20 million in emergency funding.

Maserati MC20 (Photo Courtesy of Maserati Indonesia)
Maserati's First Supercar in 16 Years Available in Indonesia
BY :HERU ANDRIYANTO
Jakarta. Maserati has recently introduced its first supercar in 16 years called the MC20, which it claims can do 0-100 km per hour in less than three seconds. The legendary Italian automaker promised that its "loyal and wonderful" Indonesian fans won't be left behind when MC20 global deliveries begin in January.
"The MC20 is the pinnacle of Maserati design, engineering and technology. This car is the future of Maserati," Jason Broome, the managing director of Maserati Indonesia, told the Jakarta Globe on Thursday.
Maserati designers and engineers have spent nearly two years to develop MC20 in Modena, where other models of the Italian marque have been born in the last 80 years.
"This car is 100 percent made in Italy," Broome said.
To be precise, the company's brochure reads that the MC20 project is "100 percent made in Modena, starting right from its engine".
It's Maserati's first supercar since the launch of two-seater MC12 in 2004, but the latest model is completely a different animal.
Newborn Engine
The MC20 is powered by a brand new V6, 3.0L turbo engine called Nettuno, or Neptune, which delivers 621 horsepower and a top speed of just above 325 km per hour.
The patented twin-combustion engine is the first engine to be fully developed by Maserati since 1998, inspired by current Formula 1 powertrains for a more powerful and more fuel efficient car.

Nettuno engine is the first creation of the Maserati Engine Lab in Modena, which involves more than 100 full-time engineers, technicians and skilled workmen working on "not only the engines of today, but also on the electric designs of the future", the company said.
More Flexible with Carbon Fiber
The MC20 weighs less than 1,500 kg thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber and composites in the entire chassis.
The company said carbon fiber allows the creation of exterior shapes impossible with press-formed metal. It also makes way for the introduction of scissor doors in MC20 unlike other Maserati models.
Maserati has designed the carbon fiber monocoque to suit all three types of MC20 -- the coupé, the convertible and the future electric version.
The three versions share the same monocoque architecture and geometry but with different distribution and quantity of carbon fibers and layers.
"The focus for the coupé will be on light weight and performance; the convertible demands greater torsional rigidity due to the absence of a roof; and the electric version will have more overall strength and enhanced protection for the battery area," the company said.
But Broome said he cannot provide a timeline for the launch of the electric version.
Since the global premiere on Sept. 9, orders for the MC20 have started worldwide, including Indonesia.
"The MC20 won't be available until next year so right now we just let people know," Broome said.
He invited potential buyers in Indonesia to come to his office to discuss their choice in color, customize the interior and add extra features.
The Indonesian price tag may go north of Rp 9 billion ($604,000) that Broome said "is very competitive" in the class.
Anyway, big sales number is not attached to a premium car whose production is limited to 7,000 units a year.
"We anticipate the MC20 will arrive in January next year. The market for Maserati will be niche," Broome said.
What's the point in driving a supercar in a crowded Jakarta traffic?
Broome appeared to suggest that being behind the steering wheel of the Trident brand already guarantees the pleasure of standing out of the crowd regardless of the speed of the car.
"I say Maserati is a luxurious, fashionable and prestigious vehicle. It can be so comfortable in real traffic condition. Just sit comfortably and enjoy the sound from the stereo," he said.

I'm sure nobody would be surprised to learn that this quote was the opinion of a UK farmer. The agricultural industry is frequently portrayed as old-fashioned and out-dated, often being told it needs to move with the times and finally adapt to using modern technology.
This summer I was thrilled to be on placement with Joe Peacock, dairy farmer based in the north east of England. As part of the process of taking over his family's home farm in Sedgefield, he mentioned that he had recognised the traditional milking parlour lifestyle was not sustainable for himself, his family or his staff (I.e. milking 100 cows through a herringbone parlour twice daily). He therefore made the decision to install technology that offers a less labour-intensive option for dairy farmers: robotic milking machines.
Robots replacing people sounded a bit too much like science fiction to me, however, it transpires that robots have been a permanent fixture in the commercial dairy industry since the 1990s, making them older than almost every undergraduate student at university! I was astonished to find that, according to 'This is Dairy Farming's article on robotic milkers, such machines were already in operation on 10% of UK dairy farms. Initially modelled on the 'out of parlour feeders' used to supply supplementary feed to high yielding cows, the robots consist of a small mechanical pen area which cows can enter at their leisure. A robotic arm then cleans the cows' quarters, exactly as a human hand would.
But with doubt still in my mind, my next question was 'what do the cows think'? Manufacturers such as Merlin advertise that the cows are able to adapt quicker than the farmers, but I was still keen to learn what 'real people' working with this machinery actually think! Joe Peacock believed that 'because the cows could be milked whenever, and generally had a much more relaxed lifestyle than when they were pushed through a parlour twice daily, they were much calmer and easier to handle than they had been before'. Therefore, my question was answered: the cows, on Peacock's farm at least, seem much happier with the robot in place than they were before.
Although the attraction varies from farm to farm, for Joe Peacock, the installation of 2 robots was done as a method to save time and allow him to start expanding the number of cattle on his farm. The installation has been a very successful move in this respect and has had some additional, unexpected positive side effects, with a reduction in the number of mastitis cases (a nasty inflammation of the cows' udders which would mean the milk could not be sent for human consumption), and a generally higher milk yield within the herd.
There are of course downsides to using the robots, it is a case of working out what is best for the individual farm, your family and your staff. I have had experience milking in a traditional herringbone parlour and this farm is a classic example of one which could not currently afford the milking machines. At installation level, the robots are a hefty capital investment, costing over £100,000 to milk 50-70 cows. On a farm milking 260 cows and requiring 5 robots, this is simply not financially viable as a business investment. Additionally, when speaking to farmers about robots, many are sceptical about how thorough they would be compared to human hands. A robot cannot check the overall health of the cows which leads them to question whether they can really replace the experience of a human. With the number of people turning to vegetarian or plant-based diets on the rise, the other major question is whether we should still be investing time, resources and research in livestock farming or trying to establish a farming industry with fewer livestock holdings.
Although I had many reservations about the potential success rates of robotic milking machines, and whether they could be replacing human hands in the future, I was greatly surprised by the milk yield, quality and overall herd welfare on Joe Peacock's farm. It is clear that robots cannot do everything a human can, but with careful management and attention they could be the replacement that the technologically minded critics are demanding.

Why second terms for illiberal leaders are different, and more dangerous, than first ones
The past week provided three depressing reminders that we live in an age defined by the march of illiberal populism.
Donald Trump commuted the sentence of his long-time confidant Roger Stone, convicted of obstructing justice and lying to Congress
The past week saw the right-wing populist Andrzej Duda narrowly defeat a liberal challenge by the Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski to win re-election in Poland's presidential election, after an ugly campaign that scapegoated German, Jewish and LGBTQ people. It also saw Recep Tayyip Erdogan defy international opprobrium and turn Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, first built as a Christian cathedral in 532, from a museum into a mosque, as part of the Turkish president's rollback of his country's secularism. And it saw Donald Trump commute the sentence of Roger Stone, a long-time confidant of the US president, convicted of obstructing justice and lying to Congress.
Three depressing news events. Three reminders that we live in an age defined by the march of illiberal populism. But also three illustrations of the perils to democratic norms when a first-term illiberal leader runs for re-election, and especially when he wins a second term. It is tempting to treat this juncture as just another part of a uniform process of election after election. But four distinct effects mark it out and make it worth particular scrutiny.
The first of these is the impunity-testing effect. Democratic norms are often calibrated during elections. Illiberal incumbents such as Trump are more powerful and emboldened when they run for re-election than when they first seek office. So their re-election bids are a unique chance to test how far they can push their boundaries.
In the weeks before Poland's vote on 12 July, Duda and his vassals plumbed new depths of bigotry. "Will Trzaskowski fulfil Jewish demands?" ran a chyron on Poland's state TV. Erdogan held his first re-election campaign as president in 2018 during a national state of emergency in which opposition messages were virtually banned from the airwaves. Trump's recent twisting of democratic norms – race-baiting, sending troops on to the streets to curb Black Lives Matter protests and suggesting the election is rigged if he does not win – are another typical example.
The second is the endorsement effect. Central to the populist formula is the dichotomy between "the people" (an undifferentiated mass that supports the populist in question) and the "enemies of the people" (balancing institutions such as the judiciary, media and opposition, but also minorities deemed not to belong). A re-election win, narrow or otherwise, is the perfect prop for this argument, treated as conclusive proof that "the people" are on side.
Erdogan hailed his re-election as "the supremacy of the national will". Hungary's Viktor Orbán followed his 2014 re-election with a now-famous speech praising the goal of an "illiberal state" and thence an unprecedented assault on independent civil society. India's Narendra Modi was emboldened by his re-election in 2018 to launch his proudly illiberal vision of "Hindutva", or Hindu-ness, and to write many Muslims out of the Indian nation with a new citizenship law.
The third is the sunk-capital effect. A first term is often the time when a leader – illiberal or otherwise – gets to grips with the levers of power. Take two mainstream British examples. Tony Blair considered his first term not radical enough and felt that his New Labour truly came of age during his more reformist second mandate. And what we consider today as "Thatcherism" – privatisation, the defeat of the coal miners, the big bang in the City of London – was primarily a product of Margaret Thatcher's second term. Political capital and experience take time to pay dividends.
That applies to anti-system populists too. Trump has created a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. He has changed the machinery of American government by co-opting the spineless Republican Party, overhauling agencies and federal personnel, changing the norms of its democracy and bending its diplomacy to his own whims. It is not unreasonable to wonder whether in a second term he would routinely use the army to put down civil protests, pull the US out of Nato or even challenge the rule limiting presidents to two terms. It is noteworthy that John Bolton, Trump's estranged former national security adviser and hardly a bleeding-heart liberal, has described this November's election as the "last guardrail" for American democracy.
Finally, there is the life-cycle effect. As a second term of illiberal abuse of a democratic system plays out, the risk grows of voters normalising the changes and opposition figures losing hope. One term can be an aberration, and four or five years do not seem like a big proportion of someone's life. But two terms can feel like a new consensus and eight, nine or ten years are long enough – if you are an opposition politician, campaigner or public-spirited civil servant – to give up and do something else. In a well-functioning democracy such churn can bring renewal. But in a cynical, unfair political system it simply launders optimism and talent into other fields (and often other countries), and replaces it with opportunism and demagoguery. Look at the diminished, beleaguered, exhausted oppositions in Turkey or Hungary for a sense of the direction America or Poland could yet take.
The lessons for liberals, pluralists and anyone who does not want their country to end up looking like, say, Turkey, are several. Fight against a second term of illiberalism harder than the first. Stand up to the rewriting of norms. Do not allow an electoral win to be equated with the endorsement of an entire electorate. Where institutions are co-opted, hold them and the government responsible for their ensuing performance. And most of all, recognise that illiberal populists rarely deliver for their countries in the long term: growth sinks, innovation shrivels, people leave and those who remain can become sick of the bombast and their reduction to a pliant mob. Do not give up hope.

Pratt officially opened two new recycling facilities this week, including a 110,000 sq. ft. plant in Gary, Indiana. The other is a 38,000 sq. ft. site in Wichita, Kansas. Both will support the company's state-of-the-art paper mill in Valparaiso, In., which comes on-line this September.
Together, the two facilities, the company's 16th and 17th recycling plants, will have the capacity to process more than 120,000 tons of recyclables annually, most of it recovered paper but also metal and plastics.
"The Midwest has long been a strong area for Pratt's converting operations," said Myles Cohen, President of Pratt Recycling. "Now, with the upcoming addition of our 4th, 100% recycled paper mill, adding recycling assets and infrastructure is the next logical expansion strategy for us.
Myles said the company hoped to further expand the workforce at both centers within the next 12 months as volume increases. Currently there are 30 people employed at the two sites.
The Gary facility, which will process more than 70,000 tons of recyclables annually, is the company's first in Indiana. Myles said Pratt chose the city because of its close proximity to both the mill and the greater Chicago area paper stream as well as its excellent access to transportation.
Among other equipment, Pratt has installed dual shredders at the plant to shred and recycle approximately 2000 tons a month of used books. The Wichita plant replaces an older facility which the company simply outgrew.
Both facilities will service the recycling needs of businesses located within a 100-mile radius of each plant, while bringing both economic and environmental benefits to the area.

Updated Surface Laptop could come in black at Microsoft's October event
Jack Wilkinson Email @TheJackah Sep 15th, 2018 in Latest news
Microsoft's October 2nd event is getting closer by the day, and we're now starting to see information about what Microsoft could be getting ready to unleash at its annual event. Although the event is expected to include hardware announcements, nothing major is expected from the Surface team, such as new form factors, and there is likely to be a number of non-hardware announcements too.
A new report suggests that Microsoft is preparing to announce an updated Surface Laptop which will bring newer internals, such as the processor, but that the company is also going back to black, reminiscing from the original Surface Pro days (via Thurrott). A black version of the Surface Laptop is expected to arrive alongside a chrome Microsoft logo, allowing it to contrast beautifully with the colour of the laptop. An updated Surface Pro is expected to follow in the footsteps too, delivering a black colour scheme.
We'll be keeping you up to date on the latest expectations from Microsoft's October event, as well as giving you all the new announcements during the event, so keep your eye on On MSFT.

Company can save more by outsource for lower wages country and avoid tax. Company also prefer to outsource because they want to reduce the complicated process of production. They also prefer off shoring for strategic reason especially for growth strategy. By off shoring, company can penetrate into new market and expanding current business. They can hire more skilful people in that country with fewer labour rights and regulations.
For example, Nike Company used to make their shoes with Nike employees in the US. But today, they did not make a single shoe because they offshore and outsource the production of the shoes for another company in other country to cater the world market. Another example is Automaker Company that outsources their parts to other company so they have no hassle to produce specific parts.

On Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th December 2018, Lord Derby Academy pupils from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 put on a fabulous showcase of talent centred around the fictional works of Roald Dahl. Willy Wonka, the Oompa Loompas, The Twits and many more, including a musical production of Matilda. This was a fantastic showcase of the work of the Expressive Arts Faculty who, alongside the pupils, have worked tirelessly to design, stage, and rehearse the show. The pupils' hard work and dedication is to be commended, as without this, the performance would not have been a success. This marks a massive milestone for the Expressive Arts Faculty, as the first full musical production to be presented in LDA history. We hope that the pupils who have been involved will have made memories, and learned new skills that will stay with them for life.
Performing Arts Week (2018)
During the week beginning 21st May 2018, the Expressive Arts Department led a week of activities to promote the different Performing Arts subjects. In addition to live musical performances throughout the week, pupils had the opportunity to enter three new competitions to become either the Composer, Choreographer or Script Writer of the Year. (Winners detailed above). We encouraged all pupils to take part in at least one of the competitions to expand on their learning, and to challenge themselves independently. The week also saw the launch of the Arts Council. Pupils had the chance to apply to be a member of the Arts Council, which will prove to be a great accolade and will present many amazing opportunities. For more information, please see a member of the Performing Arts staff.
The Expressive Arts department is a cohesive and well developed team that delivers Art and Design, Drama and Music at Key Stages 3 and 4. In addition, Dance and Film Studies are also delivered at Key Stage 4.
The Arts are valued and are high profile at Lord Derby Academy. During the academic year 2017-2018, the faculty further promoted the Arts subjects through a wider range of activities including an Arts week, a Performing Arts week, showcases of pupils' work and performances in the local community. The faculty also introduced an Arts Council where pupils are given leadership responsibilities in the different Art forms and are able to influence and shape the curriculum that is delivered to them at KS3 as well as enrichment opportunities across both key stages.

Cologne Cathedral (High Cathedral of St. Peter) is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and is a World Heritage Site. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day. Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880. It is 144.5 metres (474 ft) long, 86.5 m (284 ft) wide and its towers are approximately 157 m (515 ft) tall. The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. Its two huge spires give it the largest façade of any church in the world.

Garbage on the coast of Alto Verde
The downside left in sight garbage thrown in the ravine of the coastal district of Santa Fe. The impact on health and the ecosystem.
By: Julio De Martini
Broken bags with scattered trash, bottles, chairs, tires, appliances, shoes and all kinds of plastics and metals are the unfortunate landscape of much of the Alto Verde canyon. The waste is dumped by residents of the riverbank along the entire coast over the Santa Fe River and the Port Access Channel. With the downside of the river, everything was visible.
It is a source of environmental pollution that impacts the but what is most worrying is its impact on the daily lives of the inhabitants, especially those of the coastal district.
There live many fishermen who take advantage of the natural resource provided by the river. However, for lack of environmental awareness or other reasons, waste is thrown at the coast every day, from the yard of the homes. And when the river grows, that garbage sails through the waters and ends up in the bed and even in the beds.- Yeah . This was determined by researchers from Conicet Santa Fe and UNL, who managed to detect in the region the presence of micro-plastics (fragments smaller than 5 mm) ingested by fish and birds, which accentuates the problem.
These scientists have been studying the pollution of our rivers for years. In a report released in 2016, for example, they recorded an average of 100 plastic bottles per kilometer in Setúbal Lagoon, a level much higher than other water bodies in the world.
Although studies were carried out in other areasof the of Paraná in our region and in the Setúbal — and not specifically in the Santa Fe River, over Alto Verde— specialists are concerned about the impact of garbage on the entire ecosystem . And they developed a specific project for this coastal district (which has not yet been initiated), with the aim of contributing to a cultural change in waste management.
Tall green?
It is household waste that is discarded daily. Neighbors say they throw the garbage off the coast "because the garbage can doesn't pass," Paola warns, or because the container where they have to throw it for the collector to take it "is far away". In addition, in these communal baskets there is a large amount of garbage thrown outside, over the other ravine, against the internal baths of Alto Verde, where dogs and other animals break the garbage bags in search of food.
To try to reverse these behaviors that affect the environment and impact on the health mainly of the neighbors, from the neighborhood Pro Mejoras Alto Verde participate in different activities through the network of institutions of the neighborhood, such as a cohabitation code and the project Garbage Zero, however " we need a greater awareness of the neighbors, because we are hurting ourselves," said the neighbor Emilce Camargo.
Beyond the behavior of some neighbors, from the Neighborhood complain about the waste collection service and say that they are not satisfied "with either, neither the municipal nor the Cliba", said Camargo. "We have to refuse every day because the trucks do not comply with the routes," he warned. "They always have a but... and they say the wires are low or there are wells. We need more controls on the issue of garbage ."

Antonio Scarpa (9. svibnja 1752. – 31. listopada 1832.) bio je talijanski anatom i profesor medicine.

Životopis
Antoni Scarpa rođen je u selu Motta (Lorenzaga di Motta di Livenza), južno od Tirola. S 15 godina krenuo je na Sveučilište u Padovi gdje je bio učenik Giovanni Battista Morgagnija i Marc Antonio Caldanija.
Postao je liječnik 19. svibnja 1770., a 1772. postao je profesor na Sveučilištu u Modeni.

Djela
 Lat. De structura fenestrae rotundae auris et de tympano secundario, anatomicae observationes, njegov je prvi objavljen rad, koji opisuje strukutre unutarnjeg uha. Objavljen je 1772.g. ubrzo nakon što je došao na Sveučilište u Modeni.

 Godine 1789. objavio je lat. Anatomicæ disquisitiones de auditu et olfactu, studiju organa sluha i njuha, koja je ubrzo postala glavno štivo o tim temama

 Objavio je lat. Tabulae neurologicae (punog naziva: lat. Tabulae nevrologicae ad illustrandam historiam cardiacorum nervorum, noni nervorum cerebri, glossopharingei et pharingei) 1794.g. što je bilo prvo djelo koje opisuje točno živce i inervaciju srca. Ovo djelo smatra se njegovim najboljim djelom.

 Lat. Commentarius de Penitiori Ossium Structura, 1799.g., opisuje staničnu strukturu kosti, zajedno sa zabilješkama o rastu i bolestima kostiju.

 Godine 1801. djelo, tal. Saggio di osservazioni e d'esperienze sulle principali malattie degli occhi opisuje i ilustrira glavne bolesti oka. Ovo djelo je prvi oftalmološki tekst na talijanskom, što mu je priskrbilo naziv "oca talijanske oftalmologije".

 Tal. Riflessioni ed Osservazione anatomico-chirugiche sull' Aneurisma, 1804., klasično je djelo o aneurizmama.

 Tal. Sull' ernie memorie anatomico-chirurgiche iz 1809. je rasprava o hernijama (kilama). Dodatak tome Sull' ernie del perineo je prva rasprava o perinealnim hearnijama.
