A: Enable tracing (using this tool easiest) and take a look at the resulting trace file for the Async service (can't remember the file name but it will have "async" in it somewhere). This should give you some additional detail.

Iyyappan
Giggles and laughter welcomed us at Sri Arunodayam. A group of about 10 children aged between 3 and 8 were seated in a circle reciting rhymes under Bharati's guidance. A silent group in the next room was undergoing physiotherapy.
Arunodayam is a home for homeless mentally challenged children in Chennai. It was started by Mr. Iyyapan, a student of CSIM. Affected by the loss of his own brother who was mentally challenged, Mr Iyappan started a home exclusively for these children. He started with one child in 2003 and now has over 80 children.
Children are referred by the Government – Child help line. While most of the children have been abandoned by their parents, some have lost their way from home. Sri Arunodayam attempts to reunite such children with their families.
On seeing us, the excited children wanted to play with us. We took about four children for a stroll in the campus. Anu wanted me to carry her and Sunithi, who was at first shy, insisted that I carry her too. Both were clinging to each other. Probably it was the commonness that has brought them together. Both Anu and Sunithi were surrendered by their mothers to the government as they could not afford to take care of their challenged child. While Sunithi was the fourth child for her parents, Anu was born to an unmarried mother. Anu was very cheerful and wanted to sit on my lap when I spoke to her. It was a wonderful feeling to be cuddled by these innocent children who were unaware of the emotions they churned in me.
"Johny Johny…Johny.." said Saravanan. I did not realize that he was trying the recite the popular rhyme until Chitra, the Administrator of Sri Arunodayam, mentioned this to me. "He was a bed-ridden child when he came here. Now, he is independent. He selects his clothes he wishes to wear each day and likes to watch television and dance too", beamed Chitra, with a glow in her eyes. "Mukthi was found along with her mother who is mentally ill. Her mother is undergoing psychiatry treatment at Banyan and once she recovers, she will take custody of the child," says Thilak, psychologist at Sri Arunodayam.
Ankith enjoyed being photographed and kept combing his hair frequently. He was talkative and curious to learn what was written about him when I was going through his file. 'Child line' had found him stranded at the Central Railway Station and referred him to Sri Arunodayam in the year 2004. "I used to beg along with my brother in Punjab. One day, we returned home late and I got severely beaten up by our father. As we could not bear the pain, we left our home. My brother left me in a train and got off at a railway station. I was found alone by an old lady, who took me and sent me here. I want to grow up and work in office like Anna ", he said pointing towards Iyyappan – the founder of Sri Arunodayam.
"After undergoing counseling and treatment, Ankith is like any other normal child. We plan to admit him in a residential school for normal children," said Iyyappan. Ramjani, who does not remember how he came to Chennai, kept repeating my name. I wondered if there was someone in his family who shared the same name and asked him. He did not have an answer. All he could say was, "I come from Meerut which is far away from here."
Most of the children are active and are able to take care of themselves. The children are provided physiotherapy, counseling, speech therapy and medical care. "Each child is unique. We struggled to meet the needs of the children and provide them with individual attention. Now, with the support of the community we are able to manage all these needs effectively", says Iyyappan.
There is one common reason why all these children are here with Iyyappan – some of these children cannot perform the simplest of tasks that we all seem to take for granted. Simple things like walking straight, eating or going to the toilet. A great amount of patience and tolerance is required to supervise and handle such children. I wondered how Iyappan and his team of caregivers made it all sound so easy!
I came away with the sound of giggles in my ears, and a sense of awe.
Most challenging task?
Each child has specificneeds to be addressed. It was a challenge to provide individual care. Out of 8 special educators, that were required for 30 children,we could provide only 5. We depended mostly on individual donations and so could not afford to meet the expenses.
Do you have enough support from the government/society?
We have support from the government, but this is not sufficient. The community support is overwhelming. It is because of this, we are able to take care of these children and provide them with therapy, education and make them independant.
What is your feel about mothers who abandon their children?
In reality, it is the mother who abandons a child. This is either due to poverty or due to the father or family not supporting her to raise the child. This is escaping from responsibilities, which is wrong.
Don't you feel stressed doing the work here? If yes, how do you manage?
Yes, I do feel stressed. At such times, I visit a temple and meditate. Also I go to my farm, plant trees and spend time with the children here.
What will you do when the girls grow up?
We are presently constructing a premise to house the Pre-Primary children. We have purchased land with the support of donors and plan to construct a building within the next three years. This will be an 'Aftercare' home and will take care of the girls when they grow up.
Gowdhaman
Saturday is busier than any weekday for Gowdhaman, who works as Systems Analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland. This is because he travels to Arunavoyal village—about 42 kilometers from Chennai —to teach children spoken English and extra-curricular activities every Saturday.
Gowdhaman is engaged in social work along with his former colleagues Madeena and Leelavathy, for over three years. While he was working for William's League, it was an email that triggered the volunteering spirit in him.
"We received an appeal to support the educational expenses of Arjun, the son of a housekeeping staff Mr. Srinivasan. We learnt that Arjun stood first in class and his family could not afford his educational expenses. I volunteered to fundraise for him and mobilised Rs. 3000 from my fellow staff and remitted the fees on time. A copy of the bill was shared with the donors via email and this encouraged me to help more children and offer my services to the society."
"On another occasion, a visually impaired person wanted to pursue her teacher training but could not afford Rs. 15,000 as fees. I mailed an appeal to my contacts in India as well as abroad and mobilised the funds. This incident made me realise that everyone wants to extend their support for a good cause, but do not know how. There were two sets of people – one who can only make a monetary contribution and the other who can volunteer his/her time and service," said Gowdhaman.
Madeena, Leelavathy and Gowdhaman helped the visually impaired students to write scribes during their free time. At once such instance, Leelavathy helped a visually impaired student to write his examination at CSIM. She learnt about the courses that was offered and discussed with Ms. Latha Suresh, about their volunteering efforts. Ms. Latha advised her to enrol in the short term course and learn to effectively coordinate the social work activities.
"I shared this information with Gowdhaman and Madeena, and all three of us decided to enrol for the Social Entrepreneurship Outlook Programme in July 2009. What was common amongst us is our helping nature," said Leelavathy.
Gowdhaman says: "We wanted to register a trust for a very long time, but were not confident to start one until I enrolled at CSIM. I have registered a Trust named 'Compassion' during September 2009, for which I am the Founder and Managing Trustee. Madeena and Leelavathy continue to volunteer their time to teach the children at Arunavoyal. Compassion Trust has a policy to extend 70 to 80% of the financial support that is sought for. The intention is to make the beneficiary participate and take ownership in the activity they engage in. At instances when they cannot afford to fulfil the entire need, they are referred to other donors for support." "Our objective is to extend educational support to the under privileged children in rural areas who lack support from any other NGO. We mobilise funds from our friends and pay honorarium of Rs. 600 a month to Ms. Madhumitha, the teacher who manages the tuition centre at Arunavoyal."
"Around 30 volunteers are associated with the education programme and in this five of them take turns to visit the village every week. Children are provided training on spoken English, sports and other extra-curricular activities. Play way method is used for teaching and children enjoy the word building games and sports. Those who were finding it difficult to read English can now write more than 200 words. Real-time inspiring stories are also narrated to the children .Weekend assignments are given and the children are encouraged to use the community library."
"English classes are conducted in the morning and games are organised in the evening. During examinations, children are advised on how to manage stress and plan their study. The children are good in sports and have the potential to excel at the district and state level. What they lack is proper guidance. Around 30 children attend the weekend classes regularly and more than 65 children participate in sports activities. All the program activities are recorded so that it will help the volunteers replicate the weekend program in other villages."
"When I attended an interview at Google, I was not selected as I was over qualified for the position. My aim is to see that the children in the rural areas are as competent as the urban children in education as well as communication skills," he said.
"Children's are very friendly with the volunteers and like to spend more time with them. The confidence level of the children has increased and I am very happy to see the change in them. Initially, I wondered if the city volunteers would be able to adapt with the village children. But now, I am amazed to see their performance," says Madhumita.
"We want to improve the level of education of these children. They learn very quickly and are obedient. This motivates us and we want to help them more. We will continue our good work forever," says Madeena.
"I like the Word Building game and I can identify many words now. I used to hesitate to speak English, but now I am confident to speak the language. A lot of competition and games are organised which is really encouraging," says Jayakumar, a student.
If you wish to know more about the trust, please contact Mr. Gowdhaman at 9884056355 or email gowdhaman@gmail.com
Egamparam – The Organic Way
FarmVille, an innovative online game, is the latest craze among city dwellers. The youth are amused by the concept of rearing virtual cattle and growing a variety of crops on their 'farms'. But there are youngsters who find real farming more interesting than virtual farming. "I stopped playing FarmVille. I have a real farm in my home now and am out of the virtual world," says Kashyap, an engineering student.
This farm or kitchen garden being referred to by Kashyap has been made possible by Egamparam, the son of a farmer from Senji village in Tamil Nadu.
Like many other farmers, Egamparam's father too was unable to cope with mounting farm loans coupled with a poor yield. After his father's death, Egamparam took it upon himself to find a way to stop the incidence of farmer suicides.
"I realized that farmer suicides were rampant because most of the farmers harvested only one crop. Often, this one crop failed to yield enough to keep the farmer financially afloat. In addition, constant use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides made fertile lands barren. And reclaiming these lands to increase fertility was too long a process," observes Egamparam.
Egamparam's mentor, Dr. G. Nammalwar, suggested that sustainable agriculture through integrated and organic farming method was the answer to the problem of farmer suicides. Egamparam then worked with organizations engaged in agricultural research to learn about the technical aspects of agriculture.
With the knowledge of farming and a mission to popularize integrated and organic farming, Egamparam started the Earth Watch Foundation in 2005. Promoting crop diversity, developing farm ponds, native seed planting, breeding milch cattle and planting trees are some of the activities of the foundation.
Considerable effort went into convincing farmers to move away from their conventional farming ways and adopt organic farming. "The farmers have now understood that organic farming not only increases the crop yield but also helps in retaining the nutrients and water in the soil. Although the yield for the first two years is less, organic farming aims at sustainability of the farmland."
Seeing the positive response from farmers, Egamparam has expanded his operations from Pudukottai to include other villages like Panampatti, Melur, Manikampatti, Oorapatti and Muthudayarpatti, all situated in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu.
These being predominantly dry areas, there was tremendous resistance to farming. But with practices like rainwater harvesting, these farmlands soon became fertile.
The Center for Social Initiative and Management (CSIM) honed the entrepreneurial skills in Egamparam. Through the CSIM network, he is now working on bringing the producers and the consumers together. Egamparam urges urban folks to shift from investing in the share market to investing in agriculture. "My plan is simple. The investor gives a two-year loan to an organic farmer at 25% interest. This money is then used as 'seed capital' to buy seeds and other inputs. The interesting feature of this plan is that the farmer will repay the loan along with a weekly supply of farm fresh organic vegetables. These vegetables will be supplied from the fourth month onwards." He adds with a smile, "Apart from interest money, the investor is assured of good health and less frequent visits to the doctor."
At the end of the second year, this capital-endowed farmer will train five other farmers about organic farming and provide seed capital to one such farmer. By doing so, the plan aims at promoting the concept of organic farming.
By setting up kitchen and terrace gardens, Egamparam has now taken the concept of farming to the homes of Chennai. With little exposure to farms, city-bred children are amazed at the carrots and tomatoes growing on their rooftops. Till the garden is ready to yield, Egamparam visits them once a week to manure and prune the vegetables. In each of these homes, a compost pit has been set up to convert the kitchen waste to manure.
To spread the idea of organic farming, Egamparam plans on taking the help of the Government to make organic farming compulsory for all farmers.
"A certain rule says that in the committee that prepares schemes for the agriculture industry, 10% of the participation should be from farmers. Sadly, this rule is not being implemented. In the long run, I want farmers to involve themselves from the planning stage itself. This seems difficult, but it is achievable."
"Agriculture sustains this country. It is unfortunate however, that for their own sustenance, farmers have to turn to others with begging bowls. To change this is my dream."
One-Man Army – Arokiyadas
Arokiyadas's story is that of courage and will. He overcame serious physical and financial difficulties to rise like a phoenix and work with missionary zeal for his fellow beings.
Born with congenital deformity of limbs, life was not easy for Arokiyadas. He came from a poor family with only his mother to take care of him. He had to drop out of Nungambakkam School before he could complete Class X. Abject poverty, and then a government eviction notice for his house in the slum clearance board for not paying taxes, caused him depression. He ran from pillar to post when a friend took him to a NGO. Usha directed him to C.J. Paul who gave Arokiyadas two letters – one for Narayanan at Ecomwel and the second one for Padmini Subramaniam who coordinated an NGO for women.
"It was from Ecomwel that I got financial help. A loan with zero interest helped me clear the government debt. I had to repay the loan. But how could I? Nobody was willing to give me a job as I was disabled," says Arokiyadas. "Finally, with the help of my friend Umapathy who was also physically challenged, I got a job in an electrical shop. Both of us needed the job. So we decided that one week I would work while the next week he would. Everyone was given ten rupees a day but I was paid only eight rupees. I had to check all the electrical goods taken out by other electricians and also deal with customers. Being a fast learner, I learnt all the electrical work in a short time and became an expert electrician. But when increment was given, I got only Rs 2.50 whereas others got Rs 5. I was disappointed but did not give up. I had to prove that I was better or at least equal to others and so I worked hard. The next year when everyone got Rs 5 as increment I got Rs 7.
"Everyone at Ecomwel encouraged me but I will be always grateful to Mr Narayanan, Mr C.J. Paul and Mr Mani for not only inspiring me but also giving me moral support and helping me in every way possible".
Due to a misunderstanding with his co-workers, Arokiyadas left his job at the electrical shop and worked with CAN (Community Action Network) for their AIDS awareness programme.
"I used to commute on my tricycle to most parts of the city, distributing pamphlets and condoms to auto rickshaw drivers and others. For this, I was paid a monthly salary of Rs 1000. I repaid the loan that was offered by Ecomwel from this income. When the CAN project ended, I worked for Ecomwel's project located at Cauvery pakkam Village, Thiruvallur District. This was a rural development project and I used to stitch plastic bags. Later, I was given the responsibility of opening the Ecomwel office in the morning and closing it in the evening. Besides this, I offered to run errands for the staff like paying the electricity bill, attending to bank work.
When Reena Perolin, the funding donor from Switzerland, visited the office, she was impressed with my enthusiasm and hard work and appointed me a full-time office assistant for Ecomwel on a monthly salary of Rs. 800. The next year, the salary was increased to almost double – I was paid Rs.1500.
Arokyadas receiving the CSIM certificate from Dr.Poongothai Aladi Aruna. Social Welfare Minister.
Many people used to come to office enquiring for me as I used to guide them on how to access government services. When Mr. Mani, founder of Ecomwel, realized that I had helped nearly 500 persons with disabilities, he published a booklet highlighting my story and named me 'One- man army'. This inspired me the most and I continued my work with great zeal. Ecomwel further encouraged me to undergo a training program at CSIM (Centre for Social Initiative and Management).
After the one year training programme, I was asked to start my own NGO. But, I was diffident and did not want to leave Ecomwel. Later, with the full support of Ecomwel, I launched my NGO 'Snegithan' in 2003 and Mr. P.N. Devarajan, founder of CSIM inaugurated my small office.
Till date, I have provided referral services to over 3000 people. I not only guide and support physically challenged persons but also offer support to under-privileged children. There was a time when I did not have money to have one meal a day, but today I have 75 kg of rice in my office for donation. Most of these trust funds are sourced from individuals".
There's a sense of pride and happiness as Arokiyadas sits in his small office. On one side of the room, there are cupboards where he stores his files. Part of the room is filled with the computer and accessories. The room has a sliding glass door and it is from this small space that big deeds are carried out. The major focus of Snegithan is offering counselling services to the differently abled and providing them with aids and appliances, educational and medical support, employment referrals and coordinating self-employment projects.
Arokiyadas plans to develop Snegithan as a leading counseling centre. He coordinates an annual tour to Velankanni and other places of worship for the children who are supported by his organisation. The funds for this are mobilised from individual donations and through sponsorship.
Arokiyadas lives with his wife and twin daughters. "My children are very affectionate towards me and so is my wife. I am a very happy person now. I have a bank account and obtain a stipend from Ecomwel.There is no one willing to offer support to my organisation to meet the administrative expenses. I would be happy if people after reading this article, come forward to support Snegithan", says Arokiyadas.
If people are motivated, they can help others. After meeting Arokiyadas, I feel sure that the word 'impossible' does not exist; man can overcome any difficulty if he has a will.

Berlin IB DP IA / IGCSE Coursework 2018 & 2019
Welcome to Berlin
The Most Unusual Capital City in the World?
Task - Watch the video above and make notes on why Berlin might be considered an unusual city, especially when compared to other European capital cities such as London, Paris, Madrid or Rome. Make your notes on the worksheet beneath.
BERLIN - THE MOST UNUSUAL CAPITAL CITY IN EUROPE?
A Brief History of Berlin
This section aims to give IB & IGCSE students a brief overview of the recent history of Berlin to aid your background understanding to the issues we will be seeing during our fieldwork on the Tuesday. As you've seen, Berlin is quite an unusual palce and has been nicknamed the 'DIY city' given the amount of freedom and opportunities offered to residents.
On the Monday, IB & single opting IGCSE students will spend two hours visiting the Story of Berlin museum in the city followed by the bunker tour to show what life was life for people in the city during the cold war.
The website can be be found by clicking here. It may well be worth downloading the App by clicking on the link on the right hand side of the front page.
In the heady 1920s, after the disasters of the war, its violent aftermath, and the runaway inflation of 1923, Berlin became the life of Europe with nightlife and revues on a par with Paris. During the 1930s, the Nazis took power and instantly started to transform Berlin to portray its power. Despite the general intolerance of the Nazis, Berlin's famous and at times seedy nightlife survived well into the Second World War.
Behind the scenes, Adolf Hitler and his chief architect, Albert Speer, were planning to rebuild the city of Berlin with the new settlement being called 'Germania'. It was due to be 'launched' at a major international trade fair in Berlin/Germania planned for 1950 after the Nazi's had won the war. Check out some images of the project here.
Hitler launched his plans for German expansion from Berlin until it culminated in the attack on Poland, which started World War II in September 1939. For a few more years, Berlin would be the center of the world, the city to be in, until the first allied air raids started. By the end of the war, 75% of central Berlin was destroyed. It was called the eyeless city, as there seemed to be no windowpane intact by the time the Russians took Berlin in April 1945.
For Berlin, the war did not stop in 1945. The three sectors of Berlin occupied by the American, British, and French forces became West Berlin, a capitalist island surrounded by the sea of Communist - dominated East Germany. Berlin would be at the heart of the Cold War.
In 1948, the Russians tried to force the surrender of West Berlin by closing the land routes from the West – for a year the West, led by the United States, supplied Berlin through three air corridors (see diagram above). At the height of the crisis, an airplane would take off and land at West Berlin's two airports every minute.
In 1961, the East Germans started to build a wall around West Berlin to finally close off the border through which countless East German citizens were seeping to find a better life in the West. In 1963, American President John F Kennedy assured the people of West Berlin that the world would not surrender the city to Communism in his famous proclamation: "Ich bin ein Berliner!" (The fact that a small grammatical error had him in fact saying "I am a jam donut" was never stressed by Berliners.) For the next quarter-century, Berlin would be at uneasy peace with its neighbor.
The West poured massive subsidies into West Berlin to make it a beacon of capitalist prosperity in a sea of impoverished Communism. West Berlin became a popular place for young German men, as men resident here at age 15 were exempted from compulsory military service. At the same time, East Berlin would draw the best talent and excessive funds from the rest of the countryside in an attempt to compete with the West.
On November 9, 1989, after weeks of pressure and warnings of impending crisis, the East German people finally had enough, bridged the border, scaled the wall, and entered the West. Chipping away on the wall with hammers and chisels became instantly popular, but the quality of construction was such that bulldozers were needed to really make an impact.
On October 3, 1990, East and West Germany were finally united again, almost half a century after the end of World War II. Soon after, the German Parliament decided with a narrow majority to move the capital from Bonn back to Berlin. In 1999, the German Parliament and several other departments of state finally started to operate from Berlin.
Berlin saw tremendous growth and decline after unification. Subsidies from the West declined in line with the normalization of the city's status. This was to some extent countered by massive investment in new government buildings, such as the conversion of the Reichstag, the new chancellery and various new museums.
After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the city was littered with uninhabited buildings and large sections of valuable but disused land along the strip where the Berlin Wall once stood. Leading companies such as Daimler-Chrysler, Siemens, and Sony invested in Berlin. However, at the same time, many jobs, especially in the East, disappeared.
By 2002, the city of Berlin was bankrupt and began to sell off 110,000 publicly owned apartments abandoning decades of progressive social housing policy. As the investors began to heavily increase rents, which, as part of the selloff deal became less and less subsidised, the resulting protest claiming the "right to live in the city" became a focal point for affordable housing campaigners across Berlin. Berlin became a popular destination in the late 2000s, it was fertile ground for rampant rent hikes.
More latterly, Berlin was a host city of the 2006 Football World Cup and has more recently been the focal point for the EU refugee crisis sparked by geopolitical insecurity across North Africa and the Middle East.

The Settlement Pattern of Berlin Today
Each of the national governments based in Berlin – the Kingdom of Prussia, the 1871 German Empire, the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany, East Germany, and now the reunified Germany – initiated ambitious reconstruction programs, with each adding its own distinctive style to the city's architecture.
Clusters of high-rise buildings emerge at disperse locations, e.g. Potsdamer Platz, City West, and Alexanderplatz, the latter two representing the previous centers of West and East Berlin, respectively, and the former representing the new Berlin of the 21st century built upon the previous no-man's land of the Berlin Wall.
Using this Google Map of Berlin and the worksheet below, identify the siting factors of Berlin, i.e. what made it a good place to build the settlement originally. Need help? Click here to be taken to a reminder of what siting factors are from BBC Bitesize.

What Is Urban Renewal?

Social and demographic changes are leading to a greater demand for housing in developed countries. People are living longer, choosing to marry later and in recent years there has been a rise in the number of single-parent families. Added to this, Germany is experiencing immigration from other countries such as Turkey (historically) and Syria (recently).
Since the expansion of the EU, people from other member states have travelled to Berlin to find work. Click here to be taken to the Wikipedia entry on different nationalities in Berlin.
However, building new, affordable homes in urban areas is difficult. Land values are often very high and land can be in short supply.
In many German cities, housing redevelopments have been hindered by the division of the country in the post-war years but are now upgrading the quality of low cost housing while trying to retain, and in many cases improve the sense of community. There is a drive to improve infrastructure and opportunities in these areas, rather than 'rehouse and flatten'. This is particularly evident in Berlin, in particularly in the east of the city where we will be visiting. The population of Berlin swells by between 40,000 - 50,000 people per year! That is twice the growth of Toulouse!
This contrasts with recent suggestions from cities such as Mumbai where local authorities are planning to flatten huge areas of slum housing. These areas obviously have huge welfare issues but benefit from a strong community and entrepreneurial spirit.
Thirty years ago most urban renewal in HIC's involved knocking down existing buildings - urban redevelopment - and replacing them with new ones. In Berlin, this wasn't the case as over 75% of the buildings in the city were destroyed due to the Second World War and allied invasions. Today in Berlin, older post war buildings and those rare ones that survived the bombardment, are often improved or renovated, not demolished. This in theory means local people can continue living in the area.

What is Gentrification?
gentrification worksheet
Task - Watch the first video above and complete the tasks set out on the first and second page of the worksheet embedded on the yellow tab above. Then watch the second video (based in Brixton, London) and complete the final activity on the second page.
In a little more detail...
Gentrification is the improvement of housing in an area that was formerly poor and run-down. It is mainly carried out by the residents themselves in a piecemeal way. Individual home owners make repairs and improvements to their own property and, over time, if enough houses are improved, the nature of the whole area improves and draws in more people with the money to invest in their own properties.
As the standard of the housing improves so does the wealth of the neighbourhood. This, in turn, attracts different kinds of business - shops and services with a more up-market appeal. Small independent cafes might be replaced by a Starbucks, local pubs by wine bars or gastropubs, grocery stores by delicatessens, charity shops by estate agents, and so on, and the value of all the property in the areas goes up
Adapted from: http://www.acegeography.com/gentrification.html
Gentrification in Berlin
Prices have soared in fashionable Berlin districts like Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, where rents rose in the past decade by more than 80 percent, according to data from the Empirica Institute, which tracks property prices. But incomes in Berlin remain relatively low, with more than half the population qualifying for public housing, meaning that many longtime residents and other low earners are being priced out. This article from thelocal.de explains this process really clearly. Berlin government have therefore had to increase a rental cap of 10% - read more about this and pick up some great data by reading this article from The Guardian website.
However, many of the residents of such areas are in properties that they rent. They might include many single-parent families, unemployed people, low earners, retired people, recent immigrants, mentally ill people and so on. It might well be that their landlords see a greater potential profit in selling their houses to incomers or in developing the properties so that they can be let at much higher rents.
In some cases they probably put pressure on tenants or small business owners to move out of their homes / business - a process known as displacement. Check out this story from Berlin about a displacement that caught the international news headlines.

Your smartphone is a mine of precious metals and elements
Devices contain gold, silver, platinum and palladium – and much more

According to an EU directive Ireland has to recycle 65% of all waste electrical items by next year. In Port Laoise AMK Recycling are working to meet those targets. Video: Enda O'Dowd
Around half the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo
Take a good look at your smartphone. From the display and metal casing to the circuit boards that power the device, your phone is a mine of precious metals.
The average smartphone contains small amounts of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. But mining these metals from ore can be arduous; it takes a tonne of ore to get 1g of gold. Stripping them from existing mobile phones is not easy but can yield a surprising amount of material.
Copper and aluminium, typically lower value than precious metals, can also be found in your smartphone, in the casing or the circuit board.
Special edition iPhone to help fund fight against Aids
A Bluetooth speaker that is small in size but big in sound
There is more than just precious metals in your smartphone. Rare earth elements can be found in everything from the glass display to magnets in speakers. Despite the name, rare earth elements aren't actually that scarce; they can be found in the earth's crust but are difficult to mine. Such elements can include yttrium and gadolinium in the display; neodymium which is often used in headphones or speakers and microphones; lanthanum to make the tiny lens in the camera that much better; and praseodymium, also for headphones.
Lithium triangle
Then you have to look at the battery that powers it. Smartphones predominantly have lithium ion batteries, which require lithium. Extracted from salt lakes, much of it comes from the so-called "lithium triangle" that includes Bolivia, Chile and Argentina.
Cobalt is also used in smartphone batteries. Around half the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa. It's essential for lithium-ion batteries, but there are ethical considerations. There is a link between cobalt mining and child labour, and the region is plagued by corruption and conflict.
A considerable amount of the cobalt – about one fifth – in the region is extracted by artisanal miners, who work by hand. The work is hazardous and can have health implications, from lung conditions and breathing issues caused by the dust to a link to premature births and birth defects in miners' families.
Earlier this year, with prices of the metal surging, battery supplier Samsung SDI made moves towards sourcing more cobalt from recycled electronics.

Is speech therapy for correcting a lisp necessary and when can it start?
As a lisp is not a typical speech error, therapy is strongly recommended to help resolve it. If a child has good attention and listening skills and is able to concentrate on tabletop activities with an adult for a 30-minute session, then I recommend to parents that they are ready to begin speech therapy. This could be from age 3 upwards depending on the individual child. A lisp is easier to correct earlier on provided the child is ready. S/he must want to get their 'new s' and feel motivated to participate in therapy sessions.
What does therapy for a lisp involve?
When helping a child with a lisp, I model the correct production of the 's' and 'z' sounds, highlighting to the child how my tongue is hiding behind my teeth. It may be helpful to demonstrate this in front of a mirror so that the child can try to copy. I give a child lots of opportunities to listen to the production of the 's' and 'z' sounds, discriminating between the 's' and 'z' speech sound and their error 'th.' I then help children to produce 's' and 'z' correctly using visual cues such as diagrams and letters.
An important part of therapy is practicing at home. I provide parents with worksheets and exercises to complete with their child at home in between clinic sessions. I find that most children manage to produce the 's' and 'z' sound correctly in therapy sessions and then it is up to the parents to help them practice at home to generalise this into their everyday speech. I give out advice sheets on how to do this with lots of ideas for games, and as long as the practice work is put in, success rates for lisp therapy are high.

Conviction overturned
The Virginia Supreme Court said Roanoke police investigators failed to reveal evidence to prosecutors.
By Mike Allen, The Roanoke Times – November 4, 2006
ROANOKE, VA — A former federal drug agent found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in Roanoke will get a new trial.
In an opinion released Friday, the Virginia Supreme Court overturned Timothy Glenn Workman's conviction in the 2002 killing of Keith Edward Bailey in the parking lot of a restaurant.
The unanimous ruling states that Roanoke police investigators failed to provide prosecutors with a witness statement that could have strengthened Workman's claim of self-defense. Because prosecutors didn't have the statement, Workman's attorneys didn't learn of it until after the trial, the opinion states.
Workman, 36, has been out on an appeal bond since his October 2003 sentencing to six years and nine months in prison. He has been working in private security in Afghanistan and Iraq. Most recently he has been in Colorado awaiting the outcome of the appeal, said his defense attorney, Tony Anderson.
Roanoke Commonwealth's Attorney Donald Caldwell said Friday that he intends to retry Workman for voluntary manslaughter. He characterized the police error cited by the Supreme Court as an "honest mistake."
Originally Workman faced a first-degree murder charge, but the jury reduced the charge to voluntary manslaughter. He cannot be tried again on the murder charge.
According to court evidence, just after 2 a.m. on Feb. 12, 2002, Workman walked a woman he'd met at O'Charley's on Valley View Boulevard to her car in the parking lot. As Workman sat in her car, Bailey and James Albert Bumbry pulled up and motioned for the woman to roll down her window.
Bailey and Bumbry questioned why she was with Workman, who testified that he "flipped the finger" at the two men. The two men got out of their car.
Workman, an off-duty Drug Enforcement Administration agent from Texas, pulled a gun from his ankle holster and put it in his back pocket. He testified that he opened the door of the woman's car and told Bailey and Bumbry to get back into theirs. Instead, Bailey grabbed him by the throat, he said.
Workman claimed in court that as he struggled with Bailey, he saw Bumbry pull a gun. Bumbry denied having a gun that night.
Workman pulled his gun, Bailey tried to take it from him, and in the ensuing struggle he shot Bailey point-blank three times, according to evidence.
The Supreme Court opinion centered on a statement made by Jerry Lee Mackey Jr. to police prior to the trial. Mackey told police that he'd heard from another man that Bumbry had tried to pass a gun to Bailey during the struggle.
Mackey made the statements to Roanoke Investigator M.E. Meador and police Officer Kenneth Garrett as they interviewed him for a criminal case unrelated to Bailey's death.
After the trial, a private investigator working for the defense interviewed Mackey, which led to more witness descriptions of Bumbry firing a gun.
The Supreme Court justices contended that this evidence could have been used to attack the credibility of Bumbry's assertion that he was unarmed.
Though defendants often claim that evidence not available at trial would have made a difference in the outcome of their case, it's rare that the Virginia Supreme Court agrees, said Steven Emmert, chairman of the Virginia State Bar's appellate practice committee.
Mackey's statement "would have been a powerful tool for the defense not for its truth but rather to support its contention that police investigation was inadequate," the opinion states.
Roanoke Police Chief Joe Gaskins confirmed the mistake Friday. "One of our detectives did have that information and failed to present it to anybody," he said, adding, "It was third-hand information and probably would not have made a difference in the outcome of the case."
Caldwell said the case highlights the heavy burden on law enforcement to make sure all evidence in a case is available to the prosecutor.
"However, in this particular case I feel that it has a certain Twilight Zone-esque quality," in that Officer Garrett was a key witness for the defense "and I believe made them aware that this evidence was out there."
Anderson said that Garrett didn't tell the defense about Mackey's statement until after the trial.
As to the idea that the new evidence wouldn't make much difference, "I think seven justices on the Supreme Court disagreed with that," Anderson said.
Jon Kaufman, the jury foreman at Workman's trial, said Friday that debate in the jury room focused not on Bumbry's reliability, but on what Workman could have done in the situation other than shoot Bailey point-blank.
During the emotional deliberations, the jury was divided into three camps. Some wanted to put Workman away for 25 years, some wanted to let him go and others took the middle ground.
"I think when we came to a conclusion, no one felt really good about it," he said.
Kaufman said that he's disturbed that Workman never served any prison time after the verdict. "It seems to me that he's going to get away scot-free on this," he said.
In the new trial, the defense will be allowed to use the new evidence. But it's also possible Workman could receive a harsher sentence if he's found guilty again. Voluntary manslaughter carries a maximum possible punishment of 10 years in prison.

Pint of Science is an annual science festival that takes place every May and brings researchers to your local pub to explain the latest happenings in the world of science. The 2018 event runs from 14 to 16 May in 32 cities across the UK, and features scientists from the Changing Arctic Ocean programme, listed below.
The Arctic is the fastest changing environment on the planet – sea-ice is retreating and getting thinner, while freshwater in-flow and temperatures are increasing. These changes will have a major effect on all life in the Arctic which has adapted to the extreme environmental conditions. At present, it is unknown or poorly understood how the Arctic ecosystem will respond to these changes. The rapid changes observed in recent years pose a serious threat to the balance of the productivity cycle and, thereby, the entire ecosystem. Dr Lefering's research focuses on how the underwater light field changes across the seasons. She will talk about the efforts that scientists go to in order to better understand the Arctic Ocean ecosystem and help protect it in the future.
Tickets cost £4.00. To attend this event, book here.
With sea ice shrinking to another near-record breaking low this year, the possibility of a seasonally ice-free Arctic Ocean by 2100 seems increasingly likely. This environmental transformation is fundamentally changing the Arctic ecosystem, affecting everything from bacteria to polar bears, and even us. Allie will talk about the nutrients that support life in the Arctic and show how scientists use mud collected from the bottom of the sea to understand how nutrient availability will change in an ice-free world. Stop by for a story of ice, mud and the adventures of Arctic scientists at sea.
Several members of the ARISE team are sailing on cruise JR17005. They are writing a blog about their experiences and the science they are doing during the cruise. They will endeavour to answer questions while at sea. If you have a question you would like to ask them, please visit the blog: https://ariseatsea.wordpress.com/. Details about how to submit questions are in the Q&A section.
Dr Sian Henley is taking part in two of the events lined up for Edinburgh's International Science Festival. Details below.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to live and work in the Polar Regions of Earth? Come and meet Polar scientists from Edinburgh's Universities whose research helps us understand how our planet works – and how it's changing – through working in some of the most beautiful, yet hostile, environments on Earth. You can expect lots of exciting hands-on activities and demonstrations that will leave you feeling cool and inspired!
Dr Sian Henley is co-ordinating the "Meet the polar scientists" event at Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. The event takes place over two days, on Sunday 8 and Monday 9 April 2018.
Dr Sian Henley will participate in the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas as an expert during the panel discussion on "Tackling Climate Change." This takes place at the Centre for Carbon Innovation in the city centre, from 1.30 to 3 pm on Saturday 7 April. Entry is £5.
Dr Pennie Lindeque (DIAPOD project) gives a talk at the Westcountry Wonderwomen Workshop. Taking place on International Women's Day, this event brings together inspiring women. The Workshop is aimed at college and secondary students, and will provide students with the opportunity to gain insights from local leading ladies across a wide range of sectors (artists, scientists, pilots, surgeons, engineers and entrepreneurs).
Dr Anna Belcher visits Mayfield Primary School to show the children how polar animals keep warm, with some hands on experience using the "blubber glove" experiment. Anna will also give a show and tell using photos from her field work in the polar regions. She will describe her experience of living and working on a research ship for several weeks in the open ocean.
For life to thrive in the oceans it needs elements from across the periodic table, from phosphorous to silicon, iron to zinc. Join Kate as she uncovers the essential building blocks of everything in the sea… even the polar bears.
The event is free of charge. For more information please check the Bristol and Bath Science Café website.

"These are my first poi, but I already love them! They feel great, the fabric's nice to feel and hold. They are nice to work with. Absoluty love them!"

Messe Frankfurt India announces acquisition of IEE Expo further strengthening its presence in building technology sector
Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd, the Indian subsidiary of the global trade fair organiser Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the International Elevator and Escalator Expo from Virgo Communications and Exhibitions. With a well-timed launch of Electrical Building Technology show scheduled this year, the acquisition is expected to further broaden Messe Frankfurt's participation in the building technology sector, taking the number of events organised by the Indian subsidiary to 20.
Messe Frankfurt in India has been committed to continue expanding its position and presence locally while consolidating existing platforms with new value additions for the benefit of customers. Mr Wolfgang Marzin, President and CEO of Messe Frankfurt, talks about the newest acquisition.

This acquisition allows us to strengthen our position in the building technology sector and we are excited about the new opportunities this will create for our growth."
India is the second largest market in the world for the elevators and escalators which is growing rapidly and its significance is increasing with the vertical real-estate growth. By 2035, nearly 50% of the country's population, close to 750 million, will need to be housed in urban areas and the elevator industry will be one of the major beneficiaries of this migration to urban areas. The sector forecasts indicate growth at a CAGR of 14.3%, touching 103,000 units by 2018 while the escalator market is estimated at about 1,800 units per annum.
International Elevator and Escalator Expo, being the fourth largest elevator & escalator fair in the world, has been an exclusive platform for vertical transportation industry players in the Asian region and will continue to facilitate business and networking as a niche brand in Messe Frankfurt's Technology and Production segment from the 2018 edition. Both the organisers will continue to work closely together to enhance the exhibition experience and ensure a seamless transition for its customers and stakeholders.
Passing the baton to Messe Frankfurt India, Mrs Anitha Raghunath, Director, Virgo Communications and Exhibitions Pvt. Ltd. said: "IEE Expo has been instrumental as a business growth and networking platform for the vertical transportation industry in India. Having established a strong foothold in the industry, we believe we have found the right partners in Messe Frankfurt, who with their expertise and unmatched global presence can take the fair to greater heights."
The 2016 edition, organised by Virgo Communications and Exhibitions, featured 169 exhibitors showcasing the latest technology and design in elevators, escalators, components and accessories to 10,153 trade visitors across 13,000 sqm of exhibition space in Mumbai.

Continuing work on her latest film, Jennifer Aniston was spotted arriving on the New York City set of ?The Baster? earlier today (March 30).
The ?Rumor Has It? hottie looked refreshed and ready for a new work week as she made her way inside the studio, later joined by costar Jason Bateman.
Jenifer is my favorite star. I love every episode of Friend. I still want her to start acting in friends with all her old mates.
Yeah, Friends is really good series! Love Aniston much and waiting for her acting in more movies.
Hey what a wonderful Forum man!!
I also want Janifer to act in Friends again….And about your post it is really awesome and i think it is not very Gossiping kind of post it is more of a news kind of post still this is new to me and i love Janifer so that is why i am commenting on this post….actually i am Sara i am a student and recently completed my CISSP training it was awesome man and i wanna be like Janifer so cool so talented…and also so good looking…i am a big fan of her hair style..!!!
Here's a correction on the article "Jennifer Aniston Dated a Mormon". Andru says that the Mormon religion encourages men to have more thatn one wife. Wow, Andru, you are out of the loop! Polygamy in the Mormon religion ended in 1890. Don't confuse polygamists with Mormons—members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If a member of the Mormon church practices polygamy today they are excommunitcated from the church…and so, they are no longer Mormons.
i dont know what so special about her, but everytime i watched her, it seems like i saw an angel.
wew she so beautiful for me. like an apple of my eyes.
Janifer aniston is very talented and hot actress.She is very beautiful.I have watched her first time in the friends episode.
Does anyone else think it's sad that Vince Vaughn, the guy Jennifer Aniston is dating, doesn't want to have kids right now? He's kind of a party animal. I feel sorry for Jennifer.
Let's just leave things like it is. She may be connected with someone but whoever the guy is, it would boil back down to the issue that she's worth the choice that she has just made. I'm off!
she is one of my favorite actress. she is really very beautiful.

VOODOO and PRIS are ready for the fight of their lives…against each other!
Is this the end for VOODOO?
Voodoo and Pris face off over the "blue flame". Voodoo gets taken down by the daemonites of the dead city allowing Pris to grab the blue flame and escape the planet with the Black Razors. On earth she chooses to remain with the razors instead of returning to a normal life. Her commanding officer then secretly hands the "blue flame" to a mysterious benefactor. On Saturn Voodoo takes control of the daemonite graveyard daemonites who are now her willing army!
Art-Sami Basari closes out the series he been on since Voodoo #1 in clear style. Beautiful, smooth and ultra slick, this series more than any other put out by dc would hold up very well as a motion comic! I would pay money for that big time!
Cover-Voodoo vs Pris, not the most well organized cover since it also looks like an unused interior page. In its defense though Sami Basri's art makes this a very high quality cover with great art!
Character development- First let's deal with Voodoo the clone of Pris. She started out as an exotic dancer in voodoo #1. Under writer Ron Marz who has been the single best writer of Witchblade to date, she was a conflicted woman alone in the world searching for her place. Voodoo was also a ½ daemonite spy who believed in a prophecy that foretold her race entering a new phase of existence through taking over earth. Her belief in this prophecy became the single motivation of her existence when she realized she was a mere clone. All this took place over the course of this whole series. She saw the very worst that humanity has to offer as well as what humans would do to aliens and what they have done to each other over the years. This issue she comes full circle and takes the meaning of the prophecy to the next logical level. She has realized that the hybrids like herself are the next step in the daemonite evolution since the original race is slowly dying out and taken the abandoned daemonites of the dead city as her personal army to wage war against Hellspont, the heroes of earth and all who stand in the way of the prophecy.
What's next- Last month I said I would buy a book with Priscilla and Grifter. Now is turns out that's where she's headed…next month after Voodoo #0 we will be picking up Grifter to see if our girl shows up! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Still makes no sense-Pris was used by the daemonites and sent to earth to gather information for them and destroy the superhumans. Upon arriving on earth she was captured by the black razors, tortured, experimented on and jailed. Upon release she joined with her jailers to stop her clone…….that makes no sense to me! For the life of me I don't get why she would side with the humans when they are the ones to have treated her with such disdain. Whatever, with this series ending now we may never understand how this works. Pris is still not nearly as compelling as her clone Voodoo.
Unanswered questions- too many to go into!
