Also known as "Vansterdam" this city is home to a huge 420 street party every year - it is part protest/part celebration and while the City doesn't officially sanction the event, thousands and thousands of people show up every year. Vancouver is one of a very small number of Canadian cities that has begun to offer business licenses to dispensaries. Recognizing that raids and arrests don't help anyone and are a drain on the city's resources, police here tend* to turn a blind eye to smokers - as long as you're being somewhat discreet.
Get lit in Seattle? Anyday.
Seattle has legal recreational cannabis, amazing coffee, tons of galleries and museums and is home to several reputable cannabis companies such as DOPE magazine, WikiLeaf, Vela Cannabis and you can even take a tour and get a behind the scenes peek at how extracts are made and visit a glass blower's studio. If you ask me, the perfect way to spend the day is wandering around (and eating everything) at The public Market and then checking out the ferris wheel downtown, all while enjoying my favorite strain of Washington weed.
The National Post called this city "Canada's pot capital" and sometimes it seems like everybody here is either growing or smoking weed all the time. There is a distinct hippie/outdoorsy vibe and access to lots of skiing, hiking, biking and other activities. If strolling around downtown is more your thing, the downtown core is known for its walkability, excellent restaurants and pretty Victorian architecture.
Here's a quick history lesson for you: Montevideo is the capital of Uruguay which was the world's first country to legalize cannabis back in 2013. Government grown pot is sold in pharmacies for as little as just over $1 a gram. For a time THC limits were capped at 2% but have recently been upped to 9% - a respectable enough percentage if you ask me. The key to enjoying a weedy stay in Uruguay? Knowing a local - they're not trying to be a cannabis tourism destination, but it just might happen by mistake.
I've already booked my flight!
Beautiful beaches, football, stunning architecture, Spannabis... What else could you ask for on a holiday? Barcelona is home to Spannabis, an annual cannabis expo featuring top quality speakers and exhibitors from around the world. Unlike the coffee shops in Amsterdam, Barcelona's smokers join clubs and each member pays dues ensuring they get a portion of the cannabis grown by the club. Again, make some friends when you go because you need a legit address in Barcelona to join - no a hostel or hotel address won't cut it.

Friends Aaron Fender and John Onwuchekwa decided to found Portrait Coffee Roasters in an effort to create more opportunities in their neighborhood, Atlanta's historic West End. The pair teamed up with four other Southwest Atlanta residents to found Portrait Coffee Roasters — and plan to open its first permanent location this fall in the West End's Lottie Watkins Building. (Watkins was a political activist, businesswoman, and the first African-American woman in Atlanta to become a licensed real estate broker.) In addition to coffee, Portrait Coffee Roasters makes scented candles as well as T-shirts, tote bags, and other gear.
BLK & Bold

Pernell Cezar and Rod Johnson have been best friends since childhood, when they lived on the same block in Gary, Indiana. In 2018 they started what would become the country's first black-owned, nationally distributed coffee brand, BLK & Bold, in Cezar's garage in Des Moines, Iowa. Beyond a love of coffee and tea, what pushed them to found the company was a desire to help at-risk youth across the country. Five percent of BLK & Bold's profits go to partners that help provide kids and teenagers with critical tools, support, and experiences. Beyond Industrious' kitchens across the country, you can find BLK & Bold's coffees and teas at Target, Whole Foods, and Amazon.
Three Keys Coffee

A love of jazz and travel proved to be the unlikely inspiration for Three Keys Coffee in Houston. Husband-and-wife team Tio and Kenzel Fallen decided to found the roastery after visiting six different coffee-producing regions around the world. While Kenzel enjoyed the opportunity to travel — she's been to nearly 30 countries to-date — Tio, a mechanical engineer and long-time trumpet player, was drawn to the combination of science and artistry that is integral to roasting coffee. The name Three Keys pays homage to the trumpet, and the duo have enlisted jazz musician and Berklee professor Jarritt Sheel to put together a series of playlists to accompany their roasts.
Black Acres Roastery

This artisan roastery is based in the Highlandtown neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, named for the views it affords of the city. The team ethically sources beans from all over the world, taking care to ensure that each of its brews can be traced back to producers in countries such as Rwanda, Colombia, and Kenya. Beyond its signature dark roast — Midnight Train, named after the historic B&O Railroad — Black Acres Roastery produces a wide range of blends and single-origin roasts, including Old Line Rum Barrel-Aged Coffee, an organic, single estate coffee from the Dominican Republic that's aged in a Caribbean single malt cask for 70 days.
Red Bay Coffee

Photographer and San Francisco-native Keba Konte founded Red Bay Coffee in 2014 after teaching himself to roast beans on YouTube. Although it was his first time roasting, it was not his first foray into the coffee industry. In 2006, he opened Guerilla Café in Berkeley, an artist's collective and the first coffee shop to serve Blue Bottle Coffee. Six years later, he founded Chasing Lions Café in San Francisco. Today, Red Bay Coffee employs a diverse team featuring many of the groups that too often go unrepresented in the specialty coffee industry, including women, people of color, people with disabilities, and the formerly incarcerated. The roastery produces a range of coffees, apparel, drinkware, and more.

An ideal Cochin holiday would be to spend a couple of days in Fort Cochin and then head out to see the Keralan backwaters or the tea estates of Munnar. This way you get to experience both nature and the city.
Always carry mosquito repellent or spray as Cochin – particularly in monsoon – seems to have been invaded by a sea of mosquitoes!
Always negotiate a rate with the auto drivers beforehand, especially if you are taking them for the day. Alternatively, you can ask your hotel to arrange for an auto and fix the fare for you.
Fort Cochin is a place to sit idly by the sea/lake and watch the world go by. Sit at Brunton Boatyard or Forthouse, grab a beer and look out for dolphins swimming by.
Avoid Fort Cochin Beach on weekends, it gets really crowded as do the Chinese fishing nets. The sea is not the cleanest to swim in so stick to your hotel swimming pool.
Do remember that if you are invited to see the Chinese fishing nets you are expected to pay a small fee. Fishing is not as lucrative a business anymore!
While taking an Ayurvedic massage you will be drenched in oil, literally, so be prepared. Relaxation is guaranteed though.
Jewtown and Mattancherry are great areas to get spices and handicrafts from, but if you are looking for a bargain then Ernakulam (mainland) is the place to go.

Monetary theory has generally concentrated on an analysis based on the assumption of a closed economy;3 the policy conclusions derived have ignored the existence of international transactions and yet have found their way into the analysis of an open economy. This procedure may be valid when an open economy operates under a system of freely fluctuating exchange rates, which precludes any change in the net foreign assets of the banking system. In this case, the consolidated balance sheet of the banking system is isolated from external disturbances. From the standpoint of policy, it may also be permissible in economies that are nearly self-sufficient and whose balance of payments does not impose any serious constraint on the implementation of their monetary policies. However, economic policy designed for open economies operating under fixed exchange rates and seeking to achieve the internal objective of price stability at full employment, and the external objective of a viable balance of payments, has to be based on a theoretical analysis that explicitly takes into account the role of international transactions. Recently, monetary theory has begun moving in that direction.4 The paper concentrates on the choice between money and domestic credit as an appropriate policy-controlled variable.
Section I compares an analytical framework based on the assumptions of a closed and an open economy with a flexible exchange rate. Section II discusses the rationale of credit as the policy-controlled variable in an open economy with a fixed exchange rate. Section III presents some conclusions. The model underlying the analysis is described in the Appendix.
In this paper, we consider a two-sector closed economy—the banking system and the rest of the economy 5—with two markets—goods and services and money (total liquid assets). The latter is supplied by the banking system through increases in credit. Opening the economy to international trade introduces a potentially additional source of money, that is, money can be supplied by the banking system through credit expansion and/or purchases of international reserves. It also adds a constraint to the policy alternatives of the authorities, that is, the balance of payments. The results from the model under the assumption of both a closed and an open economy will be compared with a view to determining the appropriate monetary variable that can be controlled consistently with the balance of payments constraint.
Temporary quasi-equilibrium is defined as the absence of excess flow demands in the economy.6 The nature of this quasi-equilibrium is that the community is able both to spend on goods and services and to change its money holdings at the desired rates. This is a necessary, although not sufficient, condition for long-term equilibrium. The latter requires, in addition, equilibrium in the stock of money and of international reserves, that is, the actual and the desired stock of money and of international reserves are equal.
Most of the analyses made along these lines start from an initial position of full equilibrium (both in stocks and in flows) and inquire about the consequences of changes in the quantity (or in the rate of growth) of money.9 This point of departure can be upheld because of the difficulty of empirical identification of an equilibrium stock of money and because the achievement of a flow equilibrium will ensure the achievement of stock equilibrium over time. This leads to concentrating, for policy purposes, on the flow demand for and supply of money, which can be identified separately. Identification of the flow demand follows from the stable demand function for money,10 while the flow supply is considered to be under the control of the banking system. This assumption is crucial to the choice of a policy-controlled variable; it is valid in some but not in all cases.
In a closed economy, an excess (flow) supply of money—say, through credit being expanded at a higher rate than that at which the economy is willing to increase its money holdings—reflects an excess demand for goods and services. Prices and output (if there are unemployed resources) will increase until the disequilibrium in the money market disappears; the increase in prices and output will raise the demand for money to a level equivalent to the rise in the money supply. This process will also eliminate the excess demand for goods and services. Under these conditions, the public must hold any nominal quantity of money created by the banking system through credit expansion. The excess demand for or excess supply of money will reflect itself only through its effect on prices and output. In this way, the public can determine the real quantity of money while the banking system determines the nominal quantity of money. The public adjusts its nominal demand for money to any given nominal supply. The latter is under the control of the banking system, and the issue of whether to control money or credit does not arise.
If the same situation of excess supply of money prevails in an open economy operating under a freely fluctuating exchange rate, the excess supply of money reflects an excess demand for goods and services, as in the closed economy. This excess demand for goods and services will push domestic prices (and output) upward, but, additionally, it will create an incipient excess demand for foreign exchange that, in turn, will induce a depreciation in the exchange rate. As before, the domestic price increase, the increase in output (if any), and the depreciation in the exchange rate will raise the desired money holdings. This process will continue until general equilibrium in the economy is achieved. The freely fluctuating exchange rate policy implies balance in the country's external transactions in the sense that there is no change in the net foreign assets of the banking system.11 As a consequence, the public has not been able to change the nominal amount of money, which, as before, is determined by the monetary authorities.
In Section I it was argued that in a closed economy or in an open economy facing no balance of payments constraint as a result of the implementation of a freely fluctuating exchange rate policy, a choice between money and credit does not arise.
As soon as we change the basic framework to analyze an open economy facing a balance of payments constraint, there is a link between the balance of payments and the money supply. Then the distinction between money and domestic credit becomes crucial. The analysis underlying the credit approach is similar to that used in Section I and can be considered as an extension of monetary analysis to include balance of payments problems.12 In open economies maintaining fixed exchange rates or implementing a policy of limited exchange rate flexibility that allows for endogenous changes in the net international reserves of the banking system, the balance of payments becomes an additional source of supply of money.13 The rest of the economy, in these circumstances, can adjust the nominal supply of money to what it demands by exporting or importing money through deficits or surpluses in the balance of payments.14 Therefore, the banking system has no direct control over the nominal supply of money, which becomes an endogenous variable of the system. What the banking system can do is to determine domestic credit, that is, one of the sources of supply of money. This is in strong contrast to the closed economy or the flexible exchange rate cases, where the rest of the economy could not change the nominal supply of money.
The credit approach, like the monetary approach, stresses the interdependence between the markets for goods and services and for additions to the stock of money. However, in a closed economy or its equivalent, equilibrium in one market implies equilibrium in the other market and, thus, general equilibrium in the system. In an open economy we are concerned with achieving equilibrium in the money market and in the balance of payments,15 defined as a given desired rate of change in international reserves. Given a rate of growth in the quantity of money demanded, an equivalent rate of growth in the quantity of money supplied, in principle, can be derived from any combination of changes in domestic credit and in net foreign assets of the banking system.16 In other words, an increase in the quantity of money demanded is compatible with different balance of payments outcomes. It follows therefore that equilibrium in money flows need not coincide with equilibrium in the balance of payments. Specification of the latter as a desired change in net international reserves (a reserve target) determines the appropriate change in domestic assets needed to satisfy the desired change in money holdings.
Recognizing the balance of payments as a source of supply of money ensures that the supply of money adjusts to the demand for it, and not the inverse; this is so because the public can dispose of or acquire money through the balance of payments. The implication of this is that the authorities, and therefore the banking system, can only determine the division of the supply of money between foreign and domestic assets through controls over domestic credit.
The channels through which the credit approach operates can be determined by examining the behavior of the different sectors in the economy. As the economy grows, an increase in the quantity of money demanded reflects the decision of the community to use part of its increasing income and wealth to add to its money holdings. This is a saving decision by which surplus sectors release real resources to accumulate claims on the banking system. These resources are channeled to those economic units whose expenditure exceeds their income. The deficit units borrow the savings of the surplus units through the banking system, which accepts their promise to pay in the future. Hence, the credit expansion of the banking system is tied to the availability of resources that the public is willing to save in the form of assets created by the banking system.
Thus, the existence of a well-functioning banking system contributes to the separation of the saving and investing functions as reflected in the decision of the surplus sectors to hold money and of the deficit sectors to supply domestic assets.17 The banking system, however, can extend credit in amounts different from those made available by the public. In this case, prices and the balance of payments will perform the necessary adjustments. Thus, in an open economy credit policies represent a method of managing aggregate demand and the balance of payments. Any attempt by the authorities to reduce or eliminate a deficit or to create or increase a surplus will require control of domestic credit, so that, on the one hand, resources can be released to expand exports and, on the other hand, imports can be reduced. By this process, the balance of payments outcome will be consistent with objectives of the authorities and at the same time will satisfy the demand for money. The inverse process applies to a planned balance of payments deficit or to a reduction in a balance of payments surplus.
Given a balance of payments target as an initial condition, the design of credit policy is based on the estimation of the economy's demand for money in terms of the relevant set of independent variables. Assumptions on or projections of the time path of the latter determine, ceteris paribus, the time path of the quantity of money demanded. This time path may consist of two different elements: normal (trend) growth in money holdings in response to normal growth in the economy, and adjustment of desired to actual money balances if the two are not initially equal, that is, if there is stock disequilibrium in the money market. This estimated time path combined with the international reserve target determines the appropriate domestic credit expansion. Thus, a relationship is established between domestic credit expansion and the balance of payments. This relationship indicates that excessive (insufficient) domestic credit expansion relative to the rate of growth of the demand for money will induce a balance of payments deficit (surplus). The transmission mechanism operates through the behavioral reactions of the public to changes in the policy-controlled variable. It provides a complex link between domestic credit and the balance of payments through major variables, such as expenditure, income, domestic prices, and the demand for money. This line of reasoning implies a large degree of stability in the money market and that the brunt of the adjustment process falls on the flow of expenditure channeled through the goods and services market.
The analysis thus far has dealt with the current account of the balance of payments. The introduction of capital movements adds a market for domestic and foreign securities.18 There are now three stocks in the economy (money, securities, and international reserves) and four flows (goods and services, changes in the stock of money, changes in the stock of securities, and changes in international reserves). The extension of the model does not affect the conclusions. If anything, it strengthens the link between domestic credit and the balance of payments. For example, an excess (flow) demand for money reflects an excess supply of goods and services and/or of securities. The excess supply of goods and services will tend to depress prices, increase exports, and reduce imports, while the excess (flow) supply of securities will tend to increase interest rates. These factors will tend to absorb the excess demand for money. In terms of the balance of payments, the excess supply of goods and services will improve the balance on current account, while the excess supply of securities will induce both residents and foreigners to purchase more domestic (relative to foreign) securities. This tends to improve the capital account. Therefore, as previously, an excess demand for (supply of) money is associated with a balance of payments surplus (deficit).
The balance of payments thus continues to be one of the channels through which the supply of money is adjusted to its demand; the total nominal supply of money is not within the direct control of the banking system, and the distinction between money and domestic credit continues to be crucial for balance of payments purposes. In fact, capital mobility increases the effectiveness of domestic credit policy to influence the international reserves position of a country.
The general argument of the paper can be stated as follows. In any economy, the public determines the real quantity of money that it desires to hold. This may be obtained by changing the price level, the nominal quantity of money, or both. In a closed economy or its equivalent, the banking system determines the nominal quantity of money that the public has to hold; the public obtains the desired real quantity of money mainly through changes in the domestic price level. In an open economy operating under a fixed exchange rate, however, it becomes possible for the public to change the nominal quantity of money through international transactions. As a consequence, the nominal supply of money adjusts to the demand for money through the balance of payments. Thus, the banking system and, in particular, the monetary authorities do not directly control the total money supply but only the part that is made available through domestic credit. Furthermore, the attainment of a quantity of money desired by the community is compatible with different movements in international reserves that may not be consistent with the balance of payments objective of the authorities. These considerations lead to emphasizing the role of domestic credit as the control variable for stabilization purposes.
All the behavioral functions in equations (4), (5), (7), and (10) are homogeneous of degree zero in nominal variables.
Consider now the cases mentioned in the text. In a closed economy, equation (7) disappears and, consequently, also does the foreign sector budget constraint, equation (16). The domestic price level becomes the overall price level (Ṗ =p) and, furthermore, M0 = D0, ΔM = ΔD. Thus, the need for a distinction between money and domestic credit does not arise. In an open economy with freely fluctuating exchange rates, equation (7) is always equal to zero. As a consequence, AM = AD, and the same conclusion holds.
The importance of a distinction between money and domestic credit in an open economy with a fixed exchange rate is crucial and follows from equations (18), (19), and (20), where ΔMd stands for the estimated incremental demand for money and ΔR stands for the desired change in international reserves. Then, equation (20) determines the domestic credit expansion needed to satisfy ΔMd and to achieve ΔR.
where ηi is the elasticity of the F function with respect to the ith variable and Δxixi is the latter's relative growth rate.
The implication is that in the absence of an excess (flow) demand for money, an implicit excess demand for (supply of) goods must be matched exactly by an incipient excess (flow) supply of (demand for) securities. The overall balance of payments need not be affected, as the current account deficit (surplus) would be offset by a net capital inflow (outflow).

Mr. Guitian, an economist in the Stabilization Policies Division of the Exchange and Trade Relations Department when this paper was prepared and presently in the External Finance Division, has degrees from the Universities of Santiago (Spain), Madrid, and Chicago.
An earlier draft of this paper was presented at the Conference on Policy Formation in an Open Economy held at the University of Waterloo, Canada, on November 11–14, 1972.
It is assumed throughout the paper that the authorities have the institutional arrangements to control the total domestic assets of the banking system.
Concentration on those two monetary variables does not imply that changes in other monetary variables, especially interest rates, do not affect demand. They were chosen merely because they appear more susceptible to direct control than do other monetary variables that, even if introduced, would not affect the conclusions reached in the paper.
For similar statements, see Johnson (1972 a, b, and c), Polak (1957–58), Prais (1960–61), and Triffin (1966 a).
This is evident in Mundell's work (1968 and 1971 a) and in the most recent Johnson articles (1972 a and b). See also Laffer (1969 and 1972) and Cooper (1971).
For an alternative sectoral breakdown, see Christ (1968).
See Mundell (1971 a) and Friedman and Meiselman (1963) for a similar concept. In terms of the model, the flows are goods and services and the rates of change of the stock variables, which are money and international reserves.
See Friedman (1960) and Friedman and Meiselman (1963) for full statements.
This demand is usually expressed as a function of wealth or income, the relative rate of return on money and alternative assets.
See Friedman and Meiselman (1963).
If the initial postulate had been the stability of the expenditure function, we would be led into a Keynesian income/expenditure analysis. See Friedman and Meiselman (1963) and the ensuing controversy; also see Chand (1972).
Thus, the existing stock of international reserves is kept constant. Furthermore, the impact of changes in the exchange rate on the domestic currency value of this stock is not allowed to affect the quantity of money.
See Johnson (1972 b) and Robichek (1967 and 1971).
Except possibly in the very short run if the monetary impact of balance of payments deficits or surpluses is sterilized. See Johnson (1972 a) and Mundell (1968).
This argument can be extended to the particular case of a reserve currency country. The essence of this case stems from the existence of a foreign demand for reserve currency, which adds an extra dimension to the reserve country's balance of payments. The authorities still do not control the quantity of reserve currency that is held domestically, but they can control the global (domestic and foreign) amount of the reserve currency. Such control, however, has to be directed to satisfying the global (world) demand for reserve money. Disregard of the foreign component will eventually impose a convertibility constraint on the reserve country, and its balance of payments will lose the extra dimension.
These two conditions imply equilibrium in the market for goods and services; however, they do not imply equilibrium for stocks.
The number of combinations is limited by the international reserve management policies of the authorities, that is, by how much they are going to allow them to increase or decrease.
See Goldsmith (1969) and Gurley and Shaw (1960).
For simplicity, we assume in what follows that both types of securities are perfect substitutes.
See Laffer (1969) and (1972).
Number subscripts represent the arguments concerning which the respective functions are differentiated.
Foreign prices are assumed to be constant. Thus, the exchange rate, by appropriate choice of units, represents a foreign price index.
The constraints are expressed as flows over a period of time and discrete changes in stocks over the same period of time. They have no time dimension, although they depend on the length of the period, that is, E = ʃ t−1t E(t)dt, ΔM = Mt – Mt - 1, and so on. They may be expressed alternatively as flows and rates of change in the stocks. In this case, the constraints would have a time dimension, that is, E(t), [dM/dt], and so on.
subject to the overall budget constraint, that is, Σi3 fi (r,p) ≡ 0 . The assumption that the price of bank loans adjusts to absorb any excess demand for domestic credit can be expressed as EDΔD = 0, so that we need equilibrium in only one of the other two markets.
This condition does not tell us whether equation (13) is satisfied. All it says is that the rest of the economy can adjust its cash balances at the desired rate.
For a similar argument, see Johnson (1972 b), Laffer (1969), and Mundell (1968).
If the economy was initially in stock equilibrium, that is, EDM = 0. Otherwise, all that equation (25) ensures is the absence of excess (flow) demands.
This condition is imposed by the wealth constraint (W0 = M0 + S0 = Md + Sd), given that F1 > 0; see equation (10).
For simplicity, we will assume that foreign and domestic securities are perfect substitutes.
Net borrowing by the rest of the economy is represented by ASd;Δ is the banking system's net purchases or sales of securities, for simplicity identified with increases or decreases in domestic credit. See Mundell (1968) for an analogous approach.

Psychopathology of the mundane
Ovrutskiy A.V. - Psychology of Consumer Addiction pp. 31-38
DOI: 10.7256/2409-8701.2016.2.18906
Abstract: The article is devoted to the psychological aspects of consumer addiction. The author outlines psychoanalytical, behavioral and cognitive approaches to analyzing consumer behavior. According to the author, the general feature of the psychological approach to consumption is the analysis of consumer process as being predetermined by personal and socio-psychological phenomena. The importance of the topic is conditioned by the growing number of so-called consumer neuroses as a result of the development of the new consumder society and transformations of modern personality. In particular, the latter includes the systemic fragmentation of consciousness, new 'mosaic' and clip-like perception and worldview and multiple personality disorder (MPD) as a new nosological entity. The researcher analyzes a psychological-evolutionary classification of consumption types including introjection, assimilation and projection. Ovrutsky considers the following to be consumer additictions: oniomania, 'collectors' fanaticism', drug abuse, alcohol abuse, tobacco addiction, Internet addiction, gambling, cleptomania, and pathological collecting. In his research Ovrutsky provides a general description of the consumer society and modern consumer. The researcher has used psychological methods to analyze consumer addictions. The results of the research demonstate that effective application of psychological methods to the analysis and treatment of consumer neuroses implies consideration of a wider socio-economic environment of personality disorders. Meanwhile, descriptive and explanatory schemes used in psychology give us a hope that they can be successfully applied to the process of humanization of personality and society in general. The main conclusions are the following. 1. Psychological studies of consumer addictions go beyound methodological borders of behaviorism and today's 'psychology of consumption' exists within the frameworks of neopsychoanalysis and cognitivism. 2. The psychological-evolutionary classification of consumption types based on the neocognitivist model has a high level of heuristicity and can be applied to diagnostics and treatment. 3. The general vector of the ontogenetic development of consumption goes from the introjective type of consumption to assimilative and projective types of consumption, thus following the general pattern of the development of consumption in phylogenesis.
Pazukhina S.V., Bobrovnikova N.S. - Social and Personal Resources of Educational Actors as the Basis for Bullying Prevention pp. 49-56
DOI: 10.25136/2409-8701.2018.1.23242
Abstract: The article presents a review of scientific psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of social and personal resources of education actors as the basis for bullying prevention. The authors examine the influence of parent moral education and teacher attitudes on developing of teenagers' attitude to the situation of bullying. A brief analysis of the concept of bullying is given. The authors also emphasize the need to prevent this phenomenon at educational institutions and present a model of a diagnostic program consisting of diagnostic techniques that allow to comprehensively study the social and personal resources. The authors have also made a brief analysis of the diagnostic results obtained in the course of testing this program. In the course of their study the authors have used theoretical research methods (abstraction, deduction, induction) and experimental methods (testing, observation, experiment). The main conclusion of the research is the conclusion about the insufficient level of development of social and personal resources of educational process actors as evidenced by the high percentage of teenagers who have difficulty communicating and sufficiently large number of actors with low learning ability. Many respondents have low self esteem and high levels of aggressiveness and anxiety. The authors have also discovered that today teachers are not an authority for modern teenagers, and parents in some cases experience negative feelings towards their teenage children.
Dzhaneryan S.T., Gvozdeva D.I. - Causes of Lower Class Corruption and Personality Traits of Corrupt Officials Based on Opinions of Students with Different Attitudes to Bribery pp. 59-70
Abstract: The article presents the results of the research that was aimed at studying causes of low class corruption and personality traits of bribetakers and bribegivers based on the analysis of the conative component content (causes and personality traits of bribetakers and bribegivers) of certain attitude to bribery demonstrated by young people. One's attitude to bribery is defined as a persistent purpose-and-means attitude when a person perceives bribery as the purpose and means in satisfying one's needs and values. The research was carried out using the following methods: questionnaire survey, content-analysis, tests, and statistical methods of data processing. The authors have analyzed similar attitudes to bribery demonstrated by school, college and university students, in particular, attitude to bribery as an unlawful conduct, business deal, or immoral behavior. According to the results of the research, respondents name various situations as what causes bribe giving, while bribe taking is associated ith particular personality traits of corrupt officials. The authors prove that differentiation between personality traits of bribegivers and bribetakers demonstrated by college and university students is determined by the certain attitude to bribery. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors analyse causes of bribery and personality traits of each participant in a corrupt conduct as demonstrated by young people with different attitudes to bribery as a phenomenon of lowwer class corruption, and differentiate between personality traits of bribegivers and bribetakers as viewed by urban youth. The results of the research can be used in practical lessons aimed at teaching anti-corruption values to students.
Dzhaneryan S.T., Gvozdeva D.I., Panina E.A. - Attitudes to Bribery Demonstrated by School and College Students pp. 65-81
Abstract: The article presents the results of the research devoted to attitudes to bribery (or bribe) demonstrated by school and college students. One's attitude to bribery (bribe) is defined by the authors as a sustainable purpose-means psychological attitude of an individual who perceives a bribe as a means (or purpose) of achieving his or her needs and values. The authors offer their classification of attitudes to bribery depending on the definition of bribery: illegal activity, commercial deal, or unmoral behavior. The authors analyze contents of each attitude component of school and college students and offer such empiric criteria as the level of awareness, structuredness and maturity of one's attitude to bribery. The authors demonstrate that each attitude to bribery of college students is more structured and mature compared to school students. Taking into account the level of awareness and structurednes of established attitudes, the authors show their differentiation depending on their maturity in groups of school and college students. The research methods include survey (questionnaire offered by the authors), content analysis of answers to free-answer questions in the questionnaire, tests, and statistical data processing methods. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors analyse and define different attitudes to bribery demonstrated by school and college students and view the maturity of attitude to bribery demonstrated by school and college students based on the attitude concept offered by V. Myasischev. The authors also offer empirical criteria to analyze the maturity of one's attitude. The results of the research can be used in practical anticorruption prevention and moral education of pre-University students.
Murashchenkova N., Gritsenko V., Brazhnik I. - Psychological Analysis of Expectations of Russians to Russia from the Ukraine and Other Countries pp. 77-91
Abstract: The article presents part of the results of a complex empirical research of socio-psychological adaptation of Russians migrating to Russia from other countries. The research involved 228 people (107 men and 121 women aged 17 - 63 years old, M=29.59, SD=9.54). Respondents from the Ukraine (Donetsk and Lugansk Regions) were 112 people (51 men and 61 women) and respondents from other countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldavia, Tadjikistan, Turkeminstan, and Uzbekistan) were 116 people (56 men and 60 women). The purpose of the research was to analyze their expectations under the conditions of their socio-psychological adaptation to living in Russia. The authors make an assumption that those who come from the Ukraine and other countries have different expectations as a result of the former's forced and fast migration caused by the military conflict in the Ukraine. Empirical data was collected using the opinion poll. In particular, the authors have analyzed data obtained using free-answer and yes-no questions that respondents answered as part of the questionnaire prepared by the authors. Data were processed using the methods of descriptive statistics, frequency and content analysis, and Fisher angular transformation (φ* criteria). As a result of this empirical research, the authors have discovered differences in migrants' expectations of those who came from the Ukraine and those who came from other countries. Migrants from the Ukraine more frequently tended to expect help and support from others than from themselves and were in a greater need of information, help with employment and accomodation. They also believed they needed compensations from the government of the country they had left and had a better idea of what help and support they could use from the receiving country to adapt to life in Russia. On the whole, expectations of the majority of those who came from the Ukraine and other countries have been satisfied. Many of them had realistic expectations and the right idea of conditions, advantages and challenges they would have in Russia which was most likely to be one of the factors of their successful adaptation (based on self-reports of respondents). However, the results have also demonstrated that respondents felt their adaptation was incomplete or were too focused on challenges and negative emotions experienced in the process of their adaptation which could cause additional emotional tension and make them seek for social and psychological assistance. Another traumatic and destructive feeling that could hinder their successful socio-psychological adaptation was their expectations of conflicts from the local population. The results of the research can be used as guidelines to improve socio-psychological adaptation of migrants as well as to create a program of psychological assistance of migrants from the former Soviet republics.
Voroncova J., Ermolaev V. . - Generation Z' Gender-Based Representations of Family: Cross-Cultural Analysis pp. 79-95
Abstract: Object of research is gender ideas of the future family at the Russian and Lithuanian seniors as representatives of generation of Z. Authors in detail consider such aspects of a subject as polorolevy aspect of family life, continuously growing tendency to increase in number of incomplete families, as a result of numerous rastorzheniye of marriages, proving by that relevance of studying of a problem of transformation of institute of a family. The special attention is paid by authors to representations of the Russian and Lithuanian seniors as representatives of digital generation about the future family, to ethical standards and the level of subjective control, their balance in system of social representations.And the level of subjective control at digital generation were applied to research of content of ideas of future family and expressiveness of ethical standards: technique of stereometric testing (Garber E. I., V. V. Kozacha); express technique of an assessment of the relation to observance of ethical standards (Kupreychenko A. B.); test questionnaire level of subjective control (E. F. Bazhin, E. A. Golykina, A. M. Etkind). It is carried out cross-country - cultural research of ideas of the future family of the Russian and Lithuanian seniors as representatives of generation of Z. The following conclusions have been formulated: distinctions are found in representatives of generation of Z between ideas of future family, ethical standards and level of subjective control of the Russian and Lithuanian school students.
Kireeva O.V., Diomin A.N. - Cognitive and emotional components of attitude of man toward credits pp. 126-139
Abstract: The article discusses the cognitive and emotional components of the attitude toward credits. The cognitive component of the attitude toward credits is considered as a representation of the risks and resources that a person expects from crediting, and the emotional component is analyzed through the basic emotions experienced by a person at different stages of credits. Crediting considered as a sequence of the following borrowers: the decision to take a bank credit, the bank selection and credit conditions, obtaining approval for crediting, debt and interest payments on a credit agreement. Particular importance is attached to the study cases of non-repayment of debt and interest on the credit, that is, stage of personal default. Research presentation of crediting and the range of experiences of potential and actual borrowers was carried out using qualitative and quantitative techniques. As part of the study of the cognitive component of attitude toward credits on the content of personal meanings identified: the normative borrowers, who are forced to borrowers, borrowers-hedonists, borrowers perceive credits as the risks and threats, borrowers with an ambivalent attitude toward credits. As part of the study of the emotional component it is established that the four stages of the credit behavior is dominated by the emotion of interest, and at the stage of personal default added grief, guilt, fear. Consequently, the behavior of the credit includes the risk of psychological crisis.

Poms Underrated?
Josephine Sasse, Photo Editor
Have you ever gone to a football game and stayed seated to watch the Poms Team during half time? For most students at Oakdale the Poms performance is just some music playing in the background while they get some food and chat with friends.
Little do people know, the Poms Team practices every week and this deserves acknowledgment. "They put in as much hard work as the football team does" says Jennie Sheeler, a member of the Poms Team.
They also base routines off of "what the student section wants" explains Junior Julia Case, a member of the Poms Team. They do this in an effort to get students engaged in the performance and by using popular songs and upbeat routines.
While the Poms Team fully accepts that their sport is not given as much support by the student body as football, they feel that at the very least they deserve to be, "appreciated and given some attention," Case comments.
When asked, students admitted to not watching or appreciating the Poms Team. Some felt bad and others did not know that the Poms Team puts in as much work as they do. It is a common trend that instead of watching the Poms Team during halftime most people will go to get food from concessions and maybe glance at them when they are standing in line.
Even though the Poms Teams efforts are unnoticed at games they were appreciated in the pep rally. Morgan Doolittle, sophomore, said their performance was, "very cool" and Doolittle also explained that she had, "actually watched one Poms performance last year."
Doolittle watching the Poms Team in one game and the pep rally is a step in the right direction for the student body. If every student could just watch them at one football game the Poms team would be acknowledged for their hours of strenuous work.
The Poms Team is full of potential, yet underappreciated by the school as a whole. This group of talented girls do their best to impress the student section at home games but fall short in reaching their goal due to the lack of interest. The Poms Team feels the student body should pay more attention to their routines and recognize the work they put in to creating their dances.

The Classic & Sports Car magazine editorial team joined Classic Grand Touring on a tour to la Sarthe for the amazing Le Mans Classic event. The tour kick started in Portsmouth for an overnight sailing on Thursday evening. We organised a dedicated loading line for the drivers and their beloved cars before meeting up for a welcome drink on-board.
Three nights private camping at Porsche Curves to include private showers and toilets. Includes 24 security.
Fresh croissants delivered to the campsite on Saturday and Sunday morning's.
In France you can follow the d-road route supplied, keeping off the busier routes to Le Mans, a breakfast stop is planned after the early arrival into the port of Caen. Once in the area of Le Mans there is time to pick up supplies at the 'supermarché' before arriving at the Porsche Curves to set up your tent.
We have arranged a special trip out to the Hotel de France at la Chartre-sur-le-Loir, made famous by the John Wyer racing team who stayed there throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's. We will trace the route used by the Aston Martin DBR1's and Ford GT40's to and from the 24 hour race! We have also arranged a Q&A with a Le Mans personality during the weekend.
You have general entry, paddock and grandstand seats included as well as a parking pass to get you into the middle of circuit with the rest of the 'club' cars, getting that bit closer to the action.
Upon arrival in France follow your roadbook route suggestions via the enjoyable and quieter d-roads down to Le Mans. There is time to pick up supplies at the 'supermarché' before arriving at the 'Porsche Curves' campsite. You can set up camp on your pitch in this private site which has it's own toilets and showers.
Fresh croissants will be bought to the campsite this morning. There is then a planned drive out to visit the famous Hotel de France, once used by the Aston Martin, GT40 and Mirage racing teams through the 50′, 60's and 70's. Here there will be coffee and brunch style refreshments supplied and a chance for a few photo opportunities before arriving back at the circuit for the start of the race. Your race tickets will be supplied to access the paddocks and grandstands.
Once again fresh croissants will be bought to you this morning so you are set up to watch the rest of the racing. There will be a rendezvous point during the day to meet an ex Le Mans racer who is competing over the weekend.
Having packed up your equipment you head back to Caen for the afternoon ferry returning you to Portsmouth.

Courtrooms and the America's Cup - Patent infringement set to be the latest out-of-water battle
Shelston IP Pty Ltd
Australia, New Zealand, USA October 29 2020
The America's Cup (the "Auld Mug") is the world's oldest sailing trophy and enjoys a storied history of fierce competition – both on and off the water. Whereas legal drama throughout the years was previously restricted to claims of sabotage, subterfuge, cheating or some far-fetched interpretations of the "rules", the upcoming 2021 event has thrown up yet another reason to get off the water and into the courtroom – allegations of patent infringement.
The 36th edition of the America's Cup is scheduled to be held in Auckland, New Zealand, between 6 and 21 March 2021. It pits the holders, Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ), up against the winner of a challenger series to be contested between Luna Rossa (Italy), Ineos Team UK and American Magic. The concept of the challengers sailing off before matching up against the holder is nothing new. However, what is unique to this event is the category of yacht in which the event will be contested – the new "AC75" (America's Cup 75 class) is a 75-foot (23 metre) hydrofoil monohull vessel. To the layperson, it's a regular yacht that "flies" just above the waterline.
Again, the concept of a flying (or more correctly, "foiling") yacht is nothing new. For example, the 34th (2013) and 35th (2017) editions (held in San Francisco and Bermuda, respectively) used a class of foiling catamarans (double-hulled yachts), which, when conditions and crew-work were optimised, was able to get up on its foils (i.e., lift the hulls out of the water), thereby minimising drag and increasing speed. The ultimate goal, of course, was to complete the entire course on foils, which was referred to as a "dry lap". Foiling catamarans certainly provided for spectacular racing over the two events.
Following the narrowest of misses in 2013, the 2017 event was won by ETNZ. In accordance with the "rules" of the event, ETNZ not only got to host the next edition, but also had the authority to decide upon the class of boat in which the event would be contested. Following lengthy consideration (much of which was centred upon conditions likely on the Hauraki Gulf where the 2021 event would be contested), ETNZ opted for a new class of boat – the AC75 foiling monohulls.
What's a "foil"?
As shown on the official America's Cup website, the hull of the AC75 lacks the traditional centred keel, but instead has a retractable "foil" on either side. When one of the foils is engaged with the water, and provided sufficient speed is reached, it acts in combination with the rear rudder foil to force/lift the hull out of the water, which in turn imparts the speed advantages mentioned above. In operation, the leeward (on the side opposite to which the wind is coming from) foil is engaged with the water whilst the windward foil is retracted or held out of the water.
Shown below is an example of ETNZ's test boat "Te Aihe" (a 50-foot scaled-down version of the AC75) foiling successfully during testing.
Despite the conceptual imagery linked above, all four syndicates are employing similar, although subtly different, foil designs.
So, what's the patent problem?
Manoel Chaves, a Brazilian naval architect and boatbuilder, is the patentee in respect of New Zealand patent 740860, dated 31 October 2016. NZ'860 is a granted patent derived from PCT/BR2016/050275 via WO 2017/083947. It is entitled "Sail boat propulsion and stabilisation system and device", which is more specifically characterised by IPONZ as a "Sail boat hydrofoil with pair of wings on opposite hull sides with downward keel and outstanding lift wing, with pivoting of keels and wings independently".
According to media reports, Mr Chaves believes the canting foil system used in the AC75 boats is covered by NZ'860. Mr Chaves' representatives are understood to have contacted ETNZ in this regard. However, the same article quotes ETNZ as having already denied patent infringement as of July 2020.
What does NZ 740860 describe and claim?
Figure 1 of NZ 740860 appears to illustrate, broadly, a hydrofoiling system arguably similar to those found on the AC75 yachts:
As we know, "similar" is a subjective term. That said, claim 1 of NZ 740860 is reasonably wordy, and construing it would no doubt account for several days' court time should the matter ever proceed to trial:
A system for propelling and stabilizing a sail boat, comprising a control panel, standard or electronic stabilization, actuated by a battery connected to a hydraulic aggregate that is connected to directional valves and solenoids through which each device of a pair of devices for propelling and stabilizing the sail boat is independently actuated respectively to larboard and starboard, and each device is provided with a wing keel, a counterweight or "lift" wing joined by a bulb, a cylindrical actuator of the counterweight or "lift" wing, a rotary hydraulic actuator for hoisting the assembly, an articulation shaft, which runs in the direction of the counterweight or "lift" wing and transverse to the keel, and a tilting shaft for the assembly, which is coupled to the boat broadside or to a mounting base provided for the boat broadside of already existing boats, beside sensors of the angle of attack of the counterweight or "lift" wing.
The dependent claims (claim 2, in particular) are even longer. According to the above-linked media, ETNZ's July 2020 response to Mr Chaves was that NZ'860 defines features not found on the AC75 yachts. Quite what those features may be based upon my "elementary" understanding of the foiling system used on the AC75s and chemist's understanding of claim 1, is uncertain.
Legal permutations
As noted above, all three challengers (Luna Rossa, Ineos Team UK and American Magic) are employing hydrofoils broadly similar, albeit subtly different to ETNZ. If ETNZ is held to infringe, then does it necessarily follow that the three challengers are infringing also? Alternatively, as the entity that created the new AC75 class, does ETNZ bear any responsibility for the challengers infringing? Of course, until such time as the matter is formally contested in a New Zealand court, these questions are all strictly hypothetical.
A continuing history of more fun off the water than on it
In my time following the America's Cup, which dates back to 1983, when Australia II defeated Dennis Conner's Liberty, the event has been beset with a series of courtroom battles that, depending on one's perspective, either amplify or detract from the drama on the racecourse. From Australia's winged keel (1983), to New Zealand's "plastic fantastic" fibreglass boats (1987), to New Zealand's "big boat" challenge (1988), to all the legal jostling regarding the citizenship rule, the use of technology, where the event should be staged when the Cup was held by landlocked Switzerland, etc., this has always been more than just a yacht race.
Watch this space. The America's Cup equals high stakes and big money. Whilst not your traditional battlefield for a patent dispute, it does have almost every other ingredient.

Diagnostic performance of computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography or positron emission tomography/computer tomography for detection of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer: meta-analysis
Cancer Sci. 2010 Jun;101(6):1471-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.2010.01532.x. Epub 2010 Feb 11.

We performed a meta-analysis to compare diagnostic performances of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET or PET/CT), for detection of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer. We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE and the Cochrane Review database in December 2007. All articles were independently reviewed and selected by three evaluators. We estimated a summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC) curve. The area under the curve (AUC), Q*, and pooled weighted estimates of sensitivity and specificity for each modality by patient-based and region- or node-based data analyses and conducted pair-wise comparisons between modalities using the two-sample Z-test. Forty-one of 768 initially identified studies were included in the meta-analysis. In a patient-based data analysis, PET or PET/CT showed the highest pooled sensitivity (82%) and specificity (95%), while CT showed 50% and 92%; and MRI, 56% and 91%, respectively. The AUC (0.9641) and Q* (0.9106) of PET or PET/CT were significantly higher than those of MRI (AUC = 0.8270; Q* = 0.7599), both P < 0.001. In region- or node-based data analysis, sensitivities of CT (52%) and PET or PET/CT (54%) were higher than that of MRI (38%), P < 0.02 and P < 0.001, respectively, while specificities of MRI (97%) and PET or PET/CT (97%) were higher than that of CT (92%), both P < 0.001. The AUC and Q* showed no significant difference among CT, MRI, and PET or PET/CT. PET or PET/CT had an overall higher diagnostic performance than did CT or MRI in detecting metastatic lymph nodes in patients with cervical cancer.
