Тимчасові управління — перехідна форма управління в Західній Україні, що разом із селянськими комітетатами утворювала систему тимчасових органів влади, створених під час наступу Червоної армії у вересні 1939. Існували до утворення в західних областях УРСР традиційних радянських державних і партійних органів влади (грудень 1939) і складалися з таких ланок:
 воєводські (обласні) Т.у. в містах Львів, Станіслав (нині м. Івано-Франківськ), Тернопіль, Луцьк;
 Т.у. повітів і міст.

Керівництво Т.у. здійснювали партійні і радянські працівники, відряджені зі східних областей УРСР, політруки Українського фронту. Т.у. були покликані ліквідувати колишні політичні, економічні і культурні структури, які не вписувалися в тоталітарну систему СРСР, подолати опір його противників, налагодити роботу закладів торгівлі, охорони здоров'я, освіти, комунальних служб, підприємств промисловості та зв'язку, забезпечити постачання населення міст товарами першої необхідності, розв'язати проблему безробіття тощо. Виконували також певні судові функції, вирішували майнові й трудові конфлікти, оскільки колишні органи юстиції були ліквідовані, а нові не створені. Одним із найважливіших завдань Т.у. була підготовка до скликання Народних зборів Західної України.

Gun Seizures in Chicago Hold Steady Amid Drop in Police Stops
Through March, officers had confiscated 1,100 firearms.
by Sarah Kollmorgen
· @sjkollmorgen
·April 28, 2016
Chicago is experiencing a surge in violence not seen since the early 1990s, a grim development that many observers have attributed to a softening of police vigilance in the wake of a video released in November that shows a white city cop shooting a black teenager 16 times.
Rank and file officers are demoralized, according to media reports, and are policing less aggressively than before. The number of street stops has fallen sharply in recent months, even as the number of shooting deaths in the city has spiked.
But at least one measure of police assertiveness — often touted by the Chicago Police Department itself as evidence of a robust law enforcement response to the epidemic of gun violence — has remained constant. In the first three months of the year, through the end of March, police confiscated 1,100 firearms, according to monthly seizure numbers provided by the Chicago police research division in response to a public records request from The Trace. By comparison, officers seized 1,112 guns in the first three months of last year — a mere 12-gun difference.
From 2007 to 2015, Chicago police seized, on average, 1,221 guns in the first three months of the year. (The high for the quarter was 1,403 in 2010. The low was 898 in 2008.)
These numbers do not include firearms turned in by the public.

Chicago Criminals' Favorite Gunmakers: A Visual Ranking
Police data reveals that drug money is helping the city's gang members buy more firepower, while decades-old 'Saturday Night Specials' continue to claim victims.
Chicago police have long emphasized the importance of removing illegal firearms from the streets. The department recovers more guns per capita than Los Angeles and New York City combined. Last July, The Trace calculated that the CPD was seizing an illegal gun every 75 minutes.
"We look at guns every single day," CPD spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi tells The Trace. "The number of guns on the street is unacceptable."
The easy availability of illegal guns in the city also makes it difficult to ascertain whether seizures have a measurable impact on reducing firearm-inflicted violence. While there is more broadly a strong correlation between gun violence and gun availability in the U.S., it is possible that in Chicago the people most likely to commit violence are quickly and easily replacing weapons as soon as they are confiscated by police.
It is also possible that if not for the seizures, there would be even more killing.
"It's an issue the city has been grappling with for a long time," Guglielmi says.

3 Ways Your Hydration Needs Change as You Age
These three factors suggest that older athletes need to be a bit more diligent with their hydration practices.

Human life expectancy is increasing rapidly, with some current predictions suggesting that women will pass the 90-year mark relatively soon (well, those lucky enough to be born in South Korea in 2030 anyway). This is amazing when you think that just less than a century ago the average life expectancy in the U.K. in 1921 was 59 for women and just 55 for men.
The fact that we're living much longer (combined with increases in free leisure time) has meant that more and more older adults are taking part in serious sporting events and achieving things that would not have seemed possible even a few generations ago.
Like Rob Barel winning the men's 60-64 age group at the 2017 Ironman World Championship in Kona in a staggering 9 hours and 46 minutes—a time that would have placed him in the top 10 of the race overall well into the mid 1980s!
It's great to see more and more older athletes taking part in endurance events, but how does age affect things like recovery, nutritional and hydration requirements? I'm going to look at that last one in particular and discuss three common traits of aging that mean getting your hydration strategy right all the more important as the years go by.
1. You have less water on board to start with, so dehydration is more of a risk.
Around 60 to 70% of your total body water is locked inside your cells in the intra-cellular fluid (ICF) compartment, with the remainder sloshing around outside them as extra-cellular fluid (ECF).
Because your muscle cells contain a large amount of your ICF volume, the amount of muscle mass you have has a big influence on your total body water levels. Losing lean muscle tissue is an inevitable consequence of getting older (especially past the age of 50), so it follows that your total body water content declines as you age.
I've seen it reported that losing four to six liters of total body water between the ages of 20 and 80 is in the normal range, though there's not a complete consensus in this area and my guess is that this may well vary considerably from individual to individual.
Although training (especially lifting weights) can help to reduce the loss of muscle mass with aging to a certain degree, it's basically impossible to halt it altogether. With this loss of muscle you also lose a significant chunk of your "reservoir" of fluids as you age, meaning that dehydration when you're sweating a lot can occur more rapidly than it can for younger athletes.
2. You tend to lose more water through urine, so dehydration is more of a risk.
Another thing that impacts hydration levels in older people is the fact that kidney function tends to deteriorate as you get older as well. Reduced kidney function means less concentrated urine can be produced and, as a result, more free water is lost when you pee.
This may be compounded in some by a reduction in levels of aldosterone, a hormone responsible for helping your body hold onto water more effectively.
3. Your sensation of thirst is diminished, so—you guessed it—dehydration is more of a risk!
A study published in 2001 clearly demonstrated that, while adults over 65 tended to drink sufficient fluids to maintain normal hydration status on a day-to-day basis, when their hydration levels were challenged by periods of sweating, their sensation of thirst—and therefore their tendency to rehydrate effectively—was compromised when compared with younger people.
The participants tended to correct this dehydration eventually, but possibly more slowly than would be compatible with optimal recovery from performance in high intensity sport.
These three factors suggest that older athletes need to be a bit more diligent with their hydration practices than younger people as the margin for error is reduced and the risk of dehydration is increased.
What can older athletes do to stay hydrated?
1. Be aware that you probably need to drink a bit more
This would be a good start. But, beware, I've written about the perils of dramatically over-consuming fluids before. In a nutshell, hyponatremia is a very real risk and this can really impact your performance and make you pretty ill, so that advice needs to be handled with common sense and care.
2. Take in additional sodium with your fluids when you're sweating
Sodium helps you hold on to more water in your extra-cellular fluid and bloodstream and this reduces cardiovascular strain, helping you maintain your performance. It can also help you avoid cramps.
The concentrations of sodium in your body fluids are finely balanced by various mechanisms, so it can be a sensible idea to add a bit of extra salt to your food, and/or some sodium supplements in your drinks, at times when you know your hydration levels might be challenged. Increasing your sodium intake also increases thirst, which should urge you to drink more too.
Finally, it's very important for older athletes to start training or events properly hydrated and to ensure they rehydrate effectively after they've finished.
If you're an older athlete who struggles with hydration issues like dehydration or cramping after longer periods of sweating, it's worth taking my free online Sweat Test to help you get started with personalizing your hydration strategy. And, if you have any questions at all, just drop me an email.

Much of what we believe about the world comes from the media products we see and hear. This is especially true of places and things we might not have actually experienced, such as developing nations and global development efforts. Beyond Media Messages: Media Portrayal of Global Development looks at how the media influences our views of developing nations and global development efforts, how we can learn to read or view media portrayals critically and how we can become media authors to promote democratic citizenship.

In our last instalment we contrasted the "hard path" of user-created media – which requires would-be creators to be highly talented, skilful, committed, or all three – with the "easy path" of services which make it possible for more people to create media. In this column we'll be looking at a method which aspires to make everyone a creator: crowdsourcing.

Third entry in a series looks at sites that help users create content. In the last instalment of this series we looked at some of examples of user-created media such as mashups, fan movies and machinima.

This is the second in a series of columns looking at the history and future of Web 2.0. In the last instalment of this series we examined the origins of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) ethic and some of the issues around the definition of "user-created content." Turning from the theoretical to the practical, we'll now take a look at just what is actually out there, and begin to examine some of the ethical and legal implications.

This is the first in a series of blogs looking at the history and future of Web 2.0. From Facebook pages to viral Barack Obama speeches, the latest boom to hit the media is the rise of user-created content. Services such as Facebook and YouTube have created a new business model: rather than selling content to consumers, as media companies traditionally have done.

There's no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to facilities. However, you need to consider what are your priorities as a club and what image and culture you want to project and create for your club.
Below are some areas to consider and guidance that might be helpful to your club.
Providing and maintaining safe, high-quality playing surfaces is hugely important, be they fine turf, non-turf or indoor practice facilities.
We are committed to raising standards in all areas of our game, including achieving the best possible playing surfaces at all grounds from the smallest club to international venues.
We are fortunate to have an excellent relationship with the ECB who provide outstanding resources and guidance on all aspects of playing and training facilities that we can tap into. Links to some of these resources are outlined below and they also have a dedicated cricket groundsmanship website that we highly recommend.
Providing and maintaining quality ground equipment helps to raise the overall standard of a cricket ground, this has a knock on effect on the standard of play and hopefully helps to improve everyone's cricketing ability and their enjoyment of the sport.
Sightscreens and electronic scoreboards help to give a cricket ground a better overall look, as well as improving the playing experience. Flat sheets and mobile covers help to reduce the effect of adverse weather conditions which of course means more cricket can be played by all. Things like mobile cages and bowling machines are fantastic for providing high quality practice and coaching opportunities on or off your match wicket.
Cricket Scotland recommend using the ECB guidance for turf pitches. This can be downloaded below and it sets out procedures and methods for ground care related to turf pitches and outfields.
The guidelines contained in the above document can be used as a general guide to all aspects of construction, management, maintenance and pitch preparation of cricket grounds.
Club groundsmen can use their knowledge of local conditions to adapt the recommended guidelines to suit their site.
Cricket Scotland recommend using the ECB guidance for non-turf pitches. This can be downloaded below and it describes the requirements for outdoor non-turf/synthetic cricket pitch systems, specifically practice areas and match pitches.
Download and read full list of approved non-turf pitch systems and suppliers.
Cricket Scotland recommend the ECB guidance on cricket provision for indoor sports halls. This provides practical advice for clients and designers on the issues that need to be considered when designing indoor sports halls with cricket provision.
For more information and guidance on anything relating to facilities, please contact your Cricket Scotland Regional Participation Manager initially.
Developing your facilities off the pitch is just as important to the long term sustainability of your club. See below for ideas and guidance on how to make your facilities work for you.
Electricity, gas and water are all utilities which most clubs need. There are organisations out there who can help you to make savings and also be an environmentally responsible club.
Serving food and drink within your clubhouse can be a great way of boosting income and encouraging more people to visit your clubhouse. A really good cricket 'tea' can often be the main attraction for some players and tales of 'great' cricket teas quickly spread throughout the cricket community!
Food Standards Scotland provides a source of guidance on food preparation and allergy labelling – http://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/ – that should be of use to your club.
If your clubhouse wishes to sell alcohol, being aware of the alcohol licensing legislation is crucial. You need to have a license and you need to understand the responsibilities that come along with selling alcohol – http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Justice/policies/drugs-alcohol/alcohol-licensing.
Adding some background music, particularly when hosting a festival or tournament, is a great way of boosting the atmosphere at your club. We highly recommend this, particularly for social gatherings and for junior nights as it creates a more welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. This is particularly important when we are trying to attract new groups of people and changing an often held misconception of the stuffy cricket club.
You can also contact your Cricket Scotland Regional Participation Manager who is there to support you with this process.
Support with HMRC and tax guidance are often overlooked by clubs, largely because it can be confusing and complicated. However, that is no excuse to ignore it and as a club you need to understand your legal obligations.
GB Sport – http://www.gbsport.org.uk/ – are experts in this area and deliver regular workshops for sports clubs so they can be trained in this area and have a better understanding of their responsibilities.

EDMONTON, APRIL 5, 2019 – The ACFA presents the advocacy platform of francophone communities in Alberta to raise the awareness of political groups on matters of importance to Francophones in the provincial election on April 16.
"Now is the time for aspiring political parties to lead the province. Alberta has a strong French-speaking population and linguistic duality, with several matters that require special attention. It is therefore essential for the different political groups to take a stand and disclose their intentions regarding the future of Francophonie in Alberta." declared Mr. Marc Arnal, president of the ACFA.
The platform includes several claims with specific needs for Francophones and Francophiles in Alberta, in education, health care, French language services, arts and culture or justice. These recommendations were developed with members of the community and leaders.
"I call on political groups to consider the important claims presented by the francophone community in Alberta, because there is still much work to be done. At the same time, I also invite the population to take ownership of this platform and talk about it with their local candidates." said Mr. Arnal.
The advocacy platform has been sent to all of the political parties. It is also available at the following link.
ACFA has been the representative of the francophone community in Alberta since 1926. Its role is to promote the interests of this community and ensure its overall development.

Swedish PM defiant despite far-right election surge
By Health | September 11, 2018
The Swedish prime minister has rejected calls to resign and said that "nothing will be determined" on an election night that has seen no clear winner emerge after major gains for an anti-immigration party.
Neither the centre-right bloc or centre-left bloc in Sweden has taken a convincing victory on a positive night for the far-right Sweden Democrats, who are in a powerful position as the third largest party based on early results.
Leader Jimmie Akesson said they were the "real winners" of the election and that the party would now have influence over Swedish politics, with a meeting with centre-right bloc leader Ulf Kristersson due on Monday.

Mr Kristersson, in turn, has called on Prime Minister Stefan Lofven to step down as the country stares down the barrel of a hung parliament.
Responding to the call, Mr Lofven said he would continue to "calmly work" in his role over the next two weeks (when parliament opens), but acknowledged the election "should be the funeral for bloc politics".
He added: "It is clear that a cross-bloc coalition is needed to govern."
Image: Ulf Kristersson has called on the prime minister to resign
The prime minister said the mainstream parties now have a "moral responsibility" to form a government, and keep away from power a party he has previously claimed had "roots in Nazism".
Mr Akesson's anti-immigration party found themselves with 17.6% of the vote, after 99% of them had been counted, with the Moderates at 19.8%.
Preliminary results had the ruling party receiving 28.4% of the vote, which was estimated to translate into a loss of 13 seats in Sweden's 175-seat parliament, the Riksdagen.

Sky's Michelle Clifford, who is reporting from the Sweden Democrats' election party, said: "They have done well, but the aspirations from the polls was that they would be the second largest, but that doesn't seem so.

"The leader made the point that they are now a force to be reckoned with. He has done a great deal to sanitise the party, kicking out radical members, he now believes the main parties need to look to them and do work with them.
"They told me they will strike a very hard bargain. It's much more natural that they would go with the centre-right party. The critical thing this evening is that the centre-right and centre-left blocs are neck and neck."
Image: Sweden Democrats Party members react to exit polls
The Social Democrats have ruled out cooperating with the Sweden Democrats, but party secretary Richard Jomshof has said they want to be part of government.
Meanwhile, Liberal Party leader Jan Bjorklund has said he wants a centre-right alliance government, and has also ruled out any cooperation with the Sweden Democrats.
Clifford said the ruling Social Democrats could receive their worst results since 1908 and all parties had said they will not be collaborating with the ruling party, meaning any new regime would have to deal with a fragmented parliament.
Image: Social Democrat members celebrate despite the party bloc not getting a clear lead
The run-up to the election has been dominated by concerns over immigration and crime, with huge numbers of people having moved to the country in recent years.
Since 2015, when Sweden had a population of 10 million, the government has allowed 163,000 migrants into the country, meaning it was the highest intake per capita of any European nation.
Many Swedes have begun to worry about an erosion of "humanitarian values", which has helped the Sweden Democrat party rise in popularity.

More from Sweden
Before the vote, Mr Lofven – who came to power in 2014 – said: "This election is a referendum about our welfare.
"It's also about decency, about a decent democracy… and not letting the Sweden Democrats, an extremist party, a racist party, get any influence in the government."

Can I leave the Active Collar on my dog constantly?
Never leave the RopriPet Active Collar Dog Training Collar on for more than 12 consecutive hours.
The Active Collar has been designed to be used as a proactive training tool. Constant contact with the dog's skin may cause irritation, and at worst, a rash.
Is the Active Collar safe to use on my dog? Can it cause harm?
Yes! This device draws static stimulation from batteries in the collar; the energy level it produces is very limited, and comparable to the static stimulation received upon touching a metal object after walking across carpet. It cannot create a thermal burn on their dog.
What should I do if I notice a rash on my dog's neck?
In the case of a pet's skin irritation of any kind, contact your pet healthcare specialist to determine its cause.
There's a rattling noise coming from the receiver, is it broken?
Not at all, this is the mechanism that wakes the collar from 'sleep mode' and is perfectly normal.
I have an 8 pound dog, will this system fit?
This is probably our most commonly asked question - 6lb, 8lb, 10lb. The system will work, but there are two factors to consider - will the collar fit around your dog's neck, and is the receiver too large for your dog?
The collar on our Active Collar Base can adjust down to about 8" in diameter and the Active Collar Pro down to around 6". If needed, the collar can be swapped out with another collar from your local pet store, the only criteria is that the collar slides through the attachment slots in our receiver, which are about 2" wide.
The receiver itself measures approximately 2 ½" x 1 ½" x 1 ½". It weighs less than 2 ounces. So consider this in relation to the size of your dog.
Once my pet is trained, does he have to continue wearing the Active Collar?
You might have to reinforce training with the Active Collar from time to time.
How long can I continuously deliver Vibration or Static Shock to my pet?
The maximum amount of time you can deliver Vibration or Static Shock Stimulation to your dog continuously is 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the Remote Transmitter will time-out and the Vibration or Static Shock must be released and pressed again. We do not advise overuse of the static shock mode!
Is the RopriPet Active Collar waterproof?
The Active Collar Base is weatherproof but cannot be submersed in water. It's fine to be worn in the rain, or if it is splashed with water.
The Active Collar PRO is waterproof and can be worn by dogs that love a swim!
Discontinue use of the product immediately for 48 hours. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, please consult your vet. You may resume the use of the product and training once the skin is healed.
No, this can result in pulling the Contact Points too tightly against your dog's neck. Use a separate collar placed above the Receiver Collar.
When should I recharge the Transmitter and Receiver Unit?
Remote Transmitter: The Battery symbol will appear on the right side of LCD screen.
Receiver Unit: A beeping sound for 20 seconds when you turn on the Receiver Unit.
How long can I leave Receiver Collar on my dog?
The Collar is not designed to be worn continuously. We recommend the Collar not be worn for more than a few hours during a 24-hour period.
How long should my training session for my pet be?
Training sessions should be kept short and positive. Each recommended session should last around 10-15 minutes.
Will I get exactly advertised distance range from my RopriPet Active Collar?
Not always. The range you get will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from other radio devices. The maximum range for the Active Collar Base is 330 yards, while the Active Collar Pro can be effective up to 450 yards.
If you continue to experience problems, just drop us a line through our Contact Page.

Home Backpage Kwara State at 50
Kwara State at 50
There are divergent views about the progress recorded so far since the 12 states were created by the military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon 50 years ago. There are the pessimists who hold that states (now 36 in number) have not achieved the desired goals of development. In some extreme cases there have been strident calls for the abolition of states with nostalgia for the old three regions. On the other hand there are the optimists and enthusiasts who see states, as success stories. Lagos, Kano and Rivers states are commendably up beat with all inclusive anniversary programmes. Lagos under the leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode makes state creation alluring with a year long creative mass participatory anniversary activities. But in a sense both "for" and "against" positions on states creation are valid. The truth is that most States have recorded some achievements but far from the expectations at the beginning 50 years ago.
As a guest speaker at two non-official anniversary lectures in Ilorin at the weekend, I bear witness that despair had replaced hope 50 years after Kwara state came into being. Three of the original 4 states, which still retain their identities, are Kwara, Lagos, Rivers and Kano. Last Wednesday, 17th May 2017 my brother and Secretary to the Kwara State Government, Alhaji Isiaka Gold singled out unity, peace and development as the greatest achievements. Other listed achievements include the Federal, State and private universities, industries, an emerging aviation hub, advanced health facilities, modern recreational facilities, and comparatively good infrastructure.
The question however is that if so much had been achieved, why the so-called low-key "in consonance with the mood of the country"? We must learn to celebrate statehood and nation building with good spirit and innovative all inclusive ideas and activities as Lagos has commendably done. Excuses cannot be substitute to good governance. Statesmen (and stateswomen too) who often block public roads and airspace to mark their birthdays and weddings of their sons and daughters have no excuse to do less for the states and public space they occupy. The promise of governance is security and welfare of citizens. Public officers must use every day to account for how far they have met this singular constitutional expectation.
The official government logo and theme of the anniversary is "Celebrating Harmony, Shaping the Future". Undoubtedly Kwara state has a lot to showcase for peace and harmony compared to mini "wars of attrition" in the North-east and East. The challenge is to consolidate on the legacy of peaceful co-existence. In shaping the future, the truth is that the state's peace dividends are being undermined by increasing mass poverty and exclusiveness as opposed to inclusive growth.
Kwara from May 27, 1976 started, as Central West State but later became known as "Kwara", a name derived from the local name of River Niger among the people who constitute the state. Under Ibrahim Babangida military dictatorship Borgu LGA (New Bussa) was taken away on Aug. 27, 1991 and merged with Niger State. No demand whatsoever from the Borgu people to leave Kwara State neither by way of petition, referendum nor protest. Based on the projected population figures in the 1980s, the state had an average of 4.8 million people with an area of about 73,000 square kilometers (making it the 5th largest state in the Federation as at August 26, 1991). But Kwara State had since 1967 reduced considerably in size as a result of further serial state creation exercises in Nigeria.
On 13 February 1976, the Idah/Dekina part of the state was carved out and merged with a part of the then Benue/Plateau State to form Benue State. Again On 27 August 1991, five local government areas, namely Oyi, Yagba, Okene, Okehi and Kogi were also excised to form part of the new Kogi State, while a sixth, Borgu Local Government Area, was merged with Niger State.
As of 2006, the population of Kwara was 2.37 million, half of what it was in 1980s based on the 2006 Census figures. This population size constitutes about 1.69% of the Nation's total population. Today the state occupies 30th position in the league of states compared to its 5th position before. Its land mass is now 36, 825 km compared to 73,000 square kilometers. Who speaks for the sanctity of Kwara state sovereignty in the next 50 years?
In its 50 years of existence, Kwara State has been governed by 19 Military administrators and Governors to date. This is an average of two-year tenure per governor. Frequency of governors, especially military governors had undermined the state's development.
Most of the military governors between 1985 and 1999 actually underdeveloped Kwara State! The hope is that NEVER again should unelected gunmen rule Nigeria. Elected governors and legislators must stop "lording" it over their peoples like discredited military rulers. They should encourage dissents and alternative views. Freedom promotes development while dictatorship of various hues perpetuate under-development. Kwarans must reclaim their shrinking political space by de-personalizing governance in the coming years.
Regardless of the frustrations with the present democratic process, the challenge is to deepen democracy not to doubt it. Indeed, as we have seen in some states including Kwara, insufficient democracy, monopoly politics, lack of accountability is responsible for the recent rot, corruption, de-industrialization, mass unemployment and mass poverty. It's time for inclusive governance and development in Kwara. Interestingly no woman ever governed the state, not even as deputies and in recent times since, 1999. Deputy governors are almost by design far older than the governors. It's time to encourage youth participation in governance. The other 3 original states, namely Rivers, Kano and Lagos are among the top 10 high GDP states. Kwara ranks 28th on the ranking of states by GDP beaten to it by even newest states like, Imo, Edo and Oyo.
At creation, Kwara was the fastest growing state with bold Development Plan through Kwara State First Development Plan (1970-75) in May 1970 (within the context of the country's second National Development Plan (1970-1975) and Second Kwara State Development Plan (1975-1980).
The plans laid solid foundations for accelerated economic growth, increased productivity in agriculture providing favourable climate for industrial development and improving the quality of life of the people through the provision of necessary infrastructure. Kwara must return to development planning. Paradoxically, Kwara assumes national and international importance with Shonga commercial Farms Holding Nigeria Limited. But at 50 the farm is not celebrated as a state asset. Who owns the farm? If it is an independent entity of its own, separate from the state government, who are the shareholders? How much did the Kwara state invest? What guarantee did Kwara government provide for the billions of Naira loans to the company? How much is the state paying as a state? What is the rate of return? Are the farms' commercial crops such as maize, rice, cassava, ginger, and soya bean, milk and poultry meat available for Kwarans? At anniversary, Kwara State must be ambitious in state building. The state must re- invent legacy public community schools that once provided the human capital for the old northern region.

The Grote Kerk is built as a Roman Catholic church. After the reformation, the church passed into protestant hands. Until today, the church is in the hands of the protestants, namely the Netherlands Reformed Church. This Protestant congregation is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands.
de sage van Sint Sura
The oldest sources about the origin of a chapel on the location of the Grote Kerk date from the eleventh century. In a charter of 1121, a chapel founded in 1064 is mentioned. With the increasing prosperity in Dordrecht, this chapel has grown into a fullfledged church building.
In the city accounts of the City of Dordrecht it is mentioned that in the spring of 1285, Antony Bek, who was just dedicated to bishop of Durham, dedicated 'die grote kerke'.
Collegiate church
In 1367, Duke Albrecht of Bavaria founded a collegiate clergy and the parish church was elevated to a collegiate church. The bishop of Utrecht approved the elevation.
A collegiate church was a church governed by a Christian executive council. This council, called college, consisted of clergy and was led by a provost or dean. Up until the French era, colleges were often powerful institutions with possessions in the far-surrounding area. Besides their spiritual duties, they provided education at the collegiate school.
More information on the collegiate church
The clergymen attached to the college had separate seats in the sanctuary of the church, the choir stalls. Here the clergy came together eight times a day to pray the tides.
koorbank
detail koorbank
After the church was elevated to a collegiate church, a new church had to be built. When the reconstruction was almost complete, a fire destroyed large parts of the city. This fire also heavily hit the church under construction. After this, the church was rebuilt under the leadership of the Flemish architect Evert Spoorwater.
Symbolism in church architecture
A medieval church is also a stronghold of symbolism. This also applies to the Grote Kerk of Dordrecht.
More information on the symbolism in church architecture
Here are a few examples of the mentioned symbolism.
The original main entrance of the church, the place where the tower is located, is located in the West and the sanctuary is directed to the east (the place of light).
The plan of the church has a cross form, the image of the crucifixion of Christ.
The church has 33 columns, the age of Christ when he was crucified.
Function during the Middle Ages
The Grote Kerk was intensively used during the Middle Ages. In the sanctuary, the tides were prayed eight times a day by the clergy. For the parishioners, several masses were celebrated.
More information on the function of the church during the Middle Ages
Elisabethsaltaar
Sint-Elisabethsaltaar in de Grote Kerk Dordrecht. Het altaar was eigendom van de familie Van Beveren
The Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekoor (or Mary Choir) was used as a chapel for the worship of Mother Mary. Guilds and prominent families had an altar in the church. One of the few surviving images of such an altar is a depiction of the St. Elisabeth's altar, owned by the Van Beveren family.
In the Middle Ages, scenes from the Bible were visualized. An opening in the vault was located in front of the sanctuary. This opening was used as a symbolic heaven gate. On Ascension Day an image of the risen Christ was hoisted up and disappeared through the opening. During Pentecost, a statue of a dove was dropped from this heavenly gate, symbol of the descent of the Holy Spirit.
Miracle of the Holy Wood
Dordrecht became a pilgrimage site after the destroying city fire.
A young man born in Dordrecht, Claes Scoutet, got a piece of wood from the cross of Christ during one of his trips to the Middle East, around 1400. Later, he donated this later to the Grote Kerk, provided that the college would pray forever for him and his family.
More information on the Miracle of the Holy Wood
The bishop of Utrecht, Zweder van Culemborg, conducted a testing in the first half of the 15th</ sup> century.
He laid the wood in the fire for a long time. The wood did not burn, this miracle spread quickly.
In the great city fire of 1457, the church burned to the utmost extent. The altar, where the wood was kept, was heavily battered but the Wood also withstood this.
This was seen as proof that the wood was really part of the holy cross. Therefore, Dordrecht became a large and important pilgrimage place, where thousands of people visited the procession annually on the first Sunday of July.
During the Reformation, the altar of the Holy Wood was destroyed, but the Holy Wood was taken away by a clergyman.
In 1952 the Wood was found in a monastery archive in the Flemish Hekelgem.
The Wood was returned to the Roman Catholic community in Dordrecht. At this moment, it is kept in the Antonius church.
The iconoclasm, an orgy of violence in 1566 against various objects and symbols, is generally seen as the beginning of the 80-year war, largely passed Dordrecht.
More information on the reformation
In 1572 Dordrecht sided with the cities that swore allegiance to Prince William of Orange. The followers of the prince made a strong case for a form of Calvinism characterized by an alternative church organization and a different organization of the regions.
They formed a new Dutch state, which from 1588 became the Republic of the United Provinces. Within this new state Roman Catholicism was officially forbidden and the Reformed (Calvinistically inspired) church enjoyed the exclusive right. This Calvinist church was allowed to use existing church buildings, such as the Grote Kerk. The Catholic symbols, such as altars and statues, disappeared from the church. The formerly Catholic population gradually moved to the new church. Around 1650, about 80% of the citizens of Dordrecht had been Reformed.

Why Freddy's
Even in a Pandemic, 'The Freddy's Way' Carries On
Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers entered the COVID pandemic at an all-time high.
In 2019, the brand saw its 12th straight period of positive same-store sales growth and earned more than $500 million in sales for the first time in history—good for a 14.5 percent increase compared to 2018. In addition, the brand opened 40 restaurants, including its first international units in Dubai and nontraditional locations in universities and a casino. Eighty-three franchise restaurant options were added, expanding the brand's system in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
According to Scott Redler, co-founder and chief operating officer, that momentum carried into the first two months of 2020. Then in March, the COVID pandemic swept across the restaurant industry, cratering sales in its path. Freddy's had one week where it was down 38 percent.
However, it wasn't as though that momentum disappeared. Instead, it provided an extra boost for Freddy's as it prepared to face the new environment.
"I think the very strong start to 2020 helped give us the confidence to make the right decisions moving forward. We make guest-driven decisions and employee-driven decisions," Redler says. "And by doing that, we felt we were able to keep everybody safe to the best of our ability and still execute and take care of our guests with their Freddy's cravings."
Like other concepts, Freddy's, which has more than 375 locations across the country, quickly pivoted and focused on what it was capable of—drive-thru, carryout, and delivery. The immense effort included what Redler describes as a cross-functional team meeting among marketing and public relations, operations, construction, IT and more.
It was a gathering that Freddy's rarely ever does, but the situation called for it.
"We had everyone start talking about what we can do," Redler recalls. "And we laser-focused on drive-thru to understand the process that a guest goes through in the drive-thru, and we were able to take that and speed it up significantly, which is really the thing that has kept us rolling at the pace we are."
The team meeting proved beneficial. In the past two months, comps have grown 15 percent year-over-year. In July, the brand experienced a 47 percent increase in drive-thru traffic and reduced wait times by 28 percent.
Redler says that while studying ways to reduce wait times, the team looked at every step in the process and realized there was more time available in the area where orders are taken. So Freddy's moved functions around, and by doing so, the restaurant increased the time it had to take care of guests.
Based on what we learned when we were dealt this crisis like every other company in America, we're going to take the skills and the processes that we've learned to make ourselves better there and definitely use those to impact our future," Redler says. "And a lot of things that we did are benefitting us through COVID, and they're long-term solutions that will benefit us forever."
The COO notes that Freddy's took a "very conservative" approach to reopening dining rooms. The company brought a group to a prototype store in Wichita, Kansas, and did a walkthrough. At that point, the chain decided to implement "The Freddy's Way."
Some of the key measures include installing dividers between booths, placing plexiglas shields in front of cashiers, and mandating employees wear masks, even before states required it.
"It's just the right way to do it," Redler says. "Forget about what rules were mandated by each individual state. We wanted our system to be at or better than any state in the union with the protocols we put in place … We decided that continuing to win the confidence of our guests was our No. 1 goal. We've been doing that for 18 years with the way we do food and hospitality, and we approached the pandemic with the same focus to take care of our guests and exactly as they would want it done."

Dermatitis is most commonly a result of the skin coming into contact with a substance (irritant) that damages the outer layer of the skin or from a substance which causes the immune system to respond in such a way to affect the skin.
frequent exposure to soaps and detergents or by short term exposure to stronger irritants like solvents, acids, alkalis or mineral oils, or if work requires you to do a lot of wet work.
Getting the condition in this way is known as occupational irritant dermatitis and is common in occupations such as agricultural workers, hairdressers, cleaners, construction workers, social care workers and mechanics.
Alternatively, coming into contact with an allergen can cause your body to become sensitised, the immune system can then react to subsequent exposure making it red and itchy.
This form of dermatitis is referred to as allergic contact dermatitis and some common causes include cosmetics, metals, rubbers, glues and some plants. Anyone can contact dermatitis in this way and some individuals are more prone than others.
Symptoms can range from minor irritation and redness, to cracking, scaling, flaking with minor swelling, to blistering and major swelling leading to permanent damage to the skin. Being able to identify the symptoms of dermatitis quickly, is essential if the cause is to be identified and measures taken to prevent or reduce the level of exposure to a tolerable level that allows the person to work in comfort without fear of long term injury or disability.
Prevention in the first instance should always be the goal, and through having an in depth look at what we do, how we do it and with what, will reduce the likelihood of unnecessary contact with dermatitis causing substances.
Risk assessing the process as well as the product being used is essential as changing the way a substance is used could help to reduce exposure. Changing a substance application method e.g. from hand application to spraying, may reduce the likelihood of skin contact therefore reducing the risk. Reducing the exposure time and frequency will also reduce the risk.
Substitution of a harmful product for a less harmful one should also be one of the first considerations, this immediately reduces or removes the risk. This is quite often not feasible but worth investigation. While personal protective equipment is always one of the last control measures to be considered in risk assessing, something as simple as wearing the correct type of glove for a particular task may be all that is required to reduce the risk to a tolerable level.
Control measures may be different in each instance but the basic idea of preventing contact to the skin by harmful substances will ultimately prevent this painful and debilitating condition from occurring. As the title suggests, the skin is the largest organ in the body, it needs care, look after it. We wouldn't knowingly expose our hearts in this way so why do it to your skin.
Having a hairdresser wife whom I see having to deal with dermatitis on a daily basis has brought home to me what life changing effects it can have.
Years of contact with chemicals and haircare products has damaged her skin to the point that it never heals. It's swollen in parts, it cracks and splits which causes it to weep, it can get very itchy especially when hot which requires her to wear cotton gloves which provides some relief. Latex gloves have to be worn for any task that involves water or chemicals and even washing her own hands causes a reaction. Only the strongest of creams have any effect now, but overuse causes damage too so this has to be administered sparingly.
So, for those exposed to the possibility of dermatitis the advice is simple, try not to expose your skin to anything that may cause a problem. Wear gloves and barrier creams and keep exposure to a minimum.

Let's say we have a 35mm original, cut to cut and with some dissolves like 10 and some fades let's say 5 fade outs.
What u would suggest, go for A-B roll, or just give the effects only for optical printing Internegative -interpositive and then ''patch'' them, (add them)in the cut to cut single roll?
Would be this the best for the films quality, or the I/N -I/P would be ''jump out'' to someones eye?
Dimitrios Koukas
Stephen Williams 12
I would go A-B roll!
John Pytlak RIP 3
(deceased)
Industry Rep
For simple fades and dissolves, cutting A/B rolls usually offers the best image quality, although there may be a slight difference in the ramp of the fade between one being done on a continuous contact printer on A/B rolls, and one done on an optical printer:
http://www.acvl.org/handbook/3c.htm
Modern intermediate films like Kodak VISION Color Intermediate Film 5242 produce duplicate negatives that intercut very well with the original negative --- cut-ins no longer "jump out" with a "dupey look" and grain increase as they did in films made a few decades ago in the days of 5253.
Dominic Case 2
Optical fades and dissolves would not stand out provided the duplication was done properly.
A&B rolls are a natural way to do this in 16mm, as you have A&B rolls anyway, for the checkerboard cutting. For 35mm, it might depend on how many fades & dissolves you want, how many prints you intend to make from the original negative, and whether the lab charges extrs for the B-rolls.
Also remember that optical, or digital, fades & dissolves can be any length, whereas the A&B roll method is restricted to 16,24,32,48, 64 or 96 frames in length, and there has to be a specific "recovery time" between the end of one transition and the beginning of the next.

Kahuku Farms is a true island treasure. Kylie Matsuda is a 4th general farmer. She and her husband, Judah Lum, welcomed us to their lovely farm and home.
The Farm consists of 125 acres spread across the valley and the wonderful north shore coastline. The Farm's primary crops sent to market are papayas, long eggplant, luau leaves, and bananas.
Of the dozen families that formed a farming coop when the plantation shut down, there are 3 families still in business. The Matsudas and Fukuyamas that formed the Kahuku Farmers Inc. and Matsuda-Fukuyama Farms Inc., and the Nozawas who grow sweet corn.
Diversification was Kylie's vision as farming is a costly and very risky business. Agri-tourism is a great way to draw interest about island agriculture and a way to educate visitors on the importance of caring for the land while offering tasty treats produced yards to a few acres away. Kylie said she especially enjoys educating kids about where our produce comes from.
Both the Cafe and the Farm were opened to the public in October 2010. The Cafe serves meals and refreshments grown on the Farm. The Farm grows its own acai, cacao, kale, lettuce, lilikoi, sugar cane, green onions, mint and basil.
Did you know that about 90% of our food is imported? Although we have farms spread across the islands, on a grand scale, we produce a very small amount of our own food. Controlling the bug population and the weeds is a constant issue. Weeds love our year-round awesome weather just like the bugs love our crops. Disease is another matter of concern. On another note, making sure there is enough water is another concerning topic year round. Farming is truly a huge undertaking.
At the start of the tour, we saw what Judah called static hydroponics, which is the most basic form and can be used for quick production. It needs no electricity and costs very little. The pictures show lettuce growing out of the tub of water. The container is filled with water infused with the plant nutrients and covered with a piece of styrofoam to fit the container. Holes are cut into the styrofoam to hold the lettuce heads.
Behind the Café are raised beds with plants growing organically amid the backdrop of the grassy lawn and field. Kylie mentioned that the Farm is working toward its organic certification for the 5 acres behind the Café. Not surprisingly, it takes a few years to earn the designation. On the commercial side, best farming practices are used, but now they are adopting some of the farming systems used from the Farm's organic fields.
We walked to a section to the side, where pallets held the waste products from the Cafe. We saw how the waste goes through stages of breakdown and its own production of microorganisms that will be used to nourish the plants.
The fields are massive. We saw just a small portion of the farm with fields of old and new papaya trees, taro plants, cacao trees, and banana trees. Lining the roadways were acai palms and other trees and bushes. On the tour, we passed lilikoi vines and other trees. We also rode by the packing plant where the produce is cared for and made ready for pickup.
In talking to Kylie, Kahuku Farms has 15 employees specifically for the fields, café and tours, and 20 who work the commercial farm. Quite a small amount of people for what seems like a large operation---125 acres!
The tour ended, and we disbursed to the Café. It was a wonderful place to contemplate the enlightening experiences of the morning.


6 Me neerer God than ere Came in my minde?
10 Together joyn'd in Him thats Thou, and I.
12 Thy Godhead, and my Manhood in thy Son.
This idea of the union of God and man in Jesus is developed at some length in Hebrews 2. It appears that Taylor has Hebrews 1 & 2 in mind as he writes this poem, because he dedicates a stanza (lines 19-25) to distinguishing between men and angels and uses language drawn from Hebrews 1:14, in particular.
Hebrews 2 answers the question raised by Hebrews 1: If the Son is greater than angels, even God himself, then why or how could he die? The answer given is to redeem human beings. Redemption is possible because God became man. This meditation is particularly appropriate prior to partaking of communion, because the elements are given to remind us plainly of the incarnation. Thus, while considering that which he would do, Taylor was flooded with joy as he meditated upon the incarnation.
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:5-18 (ESV).


At least once a week I receive a notecard from a customer wanting to know what this hairstyle is--it appears on many of my vendor photos because I enjoy wearing it. It's really beautiful, isn't it? (Actually, I was shopping one day and noticed a lady with this hair, and I just HAD to ask her where she got it. Funny!) It's Dina from Emo-tions Hair. OK, now let's play a bit of catch up on the petite jewelry available @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and, of course, it's all available at "biggie" ELEMENTAL JEWELRY as well. Above is the Petite Adriana Necklace & Earrings in Lights--Peridot (shown above), Turquoise, Blue Moonstone, & Rhodochrosite, Silver or Gold, all in one texture-changing set. I really like this set as it's a bit different, not a pendant or choker, more like a showpiece to set off any neckline. It's also available in "Brights"--Amethyst, Spiderweb Obsidian, Amazonite, & Red Abalone.
I couldn't resist including this shot. I'm at The Noble Storybook sim, a magnificent tribute to Beatrix Potter, and I'm standing on her desk! How great is that for a little fairy? Oh, and the jewelry--The Petite Kira Necklace & Earrings in "Cools"--Purple Agate, Sugalite, Peacock Chrysocolla, Turquoise, Blue Chaldedony, and Moonstone with Gold, Silver, & Black metal. Also in "Warms"--Fire Opal, Fire Agate, Red Lace Agate, Amber, Ruby, and Red Italian Glass. I have to tell you, this was a pain to adapt for petites. LOL. But, I think it was worth the effort.
And, below, The Petite Lilliana Necklace & Earrings in "Classics"--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, & Maw Sit Sit. Also available in "Lights"--Rutilated Quartz, Pink Opal, Chrysocolla, & Ammolite--and "Brights"--Coral, Blue Jasper, Chrysoprase, & Charoite. This one is really pretty and quite versatile. I've worn it with casual clothes, evening clothes, and when I'm a fairy.
Eyes: Mayfly--Deep Sky Eyes in London Fog. Freebie--Thanks! These are currently my favorite eyes for both my big self, and my petite! I have purchased them in many shades.
Green Dress: Kastle Rock Petites--Silk Flower Gown in Martini Olive. Purchased on sale.
Purple outfit: G Field--Crystal in purple. I think this was a hunt gift, or maybe a subscriber gift. Thanks!
Red outfit: G Field--Fairy Dress in red. Purchased on sale.
