The Role of Myths in Shaping Gender Stereotypes
One major area that has been influenced by myths and stereotypes is gender. The perpetrators of this myth are both society and scientists. Society does this by assigning traits to specific genders and scientists do it by conducting research that is flawed and backs up these myths. These myths about gender have led to what we now call gender stereotypes.
2. The role of myths in shaping gender stereotypes
There are many myths about gender that have shaped the way we think about men and women. One of these is the idea that women are not good at math and science. This is a stereotype that has been around for a long time and it is one that is still believed by many people today.
This stereotype has its origins in the early days of education when girls were not given the same opportunities as boys to study math and science. As a result, they were not as successful in these subjects as boys were. This led to the belief that women were not as good as men at math and science.
Another myth about gender is that women are not as strong as men. This is also a stereotype that has been around for a long time. It is based on the idea that men are physically stronger than women. This may have been true in the past, but it is no longer true today. Women are just as strong as men, if not stronger.
3. The impact of gender stereotypes on society
Gender stereotypes have a negative impact on both men and women. They limit the potential of both genders. For example, if a woman believes she is not good at math and science, she will not pursue a career in these fields even if she has the potential to be successful. Similarly, if a man believes he should be the breadwinner of the family, he may not pursue his dreams because he feels like he has to provide for his family financially.
4. The origins of gender stereotypes
Gender stereotypes have their origins in sexist attitudes and beliefs. In the past, women were seen as inferior to men and this led to many sexist attitudes and beliefs about women. These sexist attitudes and beliefs about women led to the development of gender stereotypes about women. Similarly, sexist attitudes and beliefs about men led to the development of gender stereotypes about men.
5. Gender stereotypes in the modern world
Gender stereotypes are still prevalent in the modern world even though they are no longer accurate or true. One reason for this is that they are deeply ingrained in our culture and society. For example, ads targeting children often show boys playing with trucks and cars while girls are shown playing with dolls or Barbies. This sends the message to children that boys should play with cars while girls should play with dolls which reinforces gender stereotypes.
another reason why gender stereotypes still exist is because they are perpetuated by nationalized myths and stereotypes. For example, many people believe that math and science are male subjects while arts and humanities are female subjects. This is because these subjects have been nationalized as such due to the fact that more males tend to excel in math and science while more females tend to excel in arts and humanities.
Gender stereotypes are harmful to both men and women. They limit the potential of both genders and they are based on sexist attitudes and beliefs. Gender stereotypes are still prevalent in the modern world but there is hope that as society becomes more aware of them, they will eventually disappear.
What are some of the most common gender myths and stereotypes that exist in the modern world?
Some of the most common gender myths and stereotypes that exist in the modern world include beliefs that women are naturally more emotional than men, that men are better suited for leadership roles than women, and that feminine traits are weaker or less valuable than masculine ones.
How do these myths and stereotypes impact individuals and society as a whole?
These myths and stereotypes can impact individuals by causing them to doubt their abilities or worth, leading them to feel like they have to conform to unrealistic standards, or making them feel like they don't belong in certain situations or fields. They can also impact society as a whole by perpetuating discrimination and limiting people's opportunities.
What can be done to challenge and dismantle these harmful beliefs?
There are many things that can be done to challenge and dismantle these harmful beliefs, including education and awareness-raising initiatives, media representation of diverse genders and identities, and individual self-reflection and questioning of one's own assumptions.

Switzerland launches new fruit and berry network
Agroscope, ENDURE's Swiss partner, has joined forces with the Swiss Fruit Association to launch a National Competence Network for Fruit and Berries. The network will combine "the strengths of the Swiss fruit production sector to jointly tackle the challenges faced by the sector in the medium-to-long-term".
The latest edition of the Agroscope newsletter reports that the network will be based on co-creation, "where various stakeholders from research, practice, education, extension and industry come together to develop new knowledge. This close cooperation enables the pooling and expansion of the skills, know-how and resources of the various actors (transdisciplinarity)."
This approach will not only guide the choice of research projects but will also apply to how the results are disseminated and newly found solutions are implemented.
Manuel Boss, head of Agroscope's Plants and Plant Products Competence Division told the newsletter: "Through the joint creation of knowledge, the Competence Network for Fruit and Berries will accelerate the development of solutions and enhance the impact of research work in practice. All stakeholders will benefit from this."
"The challenges and problems of the Swiss fruit sector are becoming increasingly complex, requiring the commitment of each individual and the pooling of competences," Ernst Lüthi, chairman of the network's steering committee told the newsletter.
Agroscope reports that these challenges are ecological, societal and economic. The newsletter says: "Consumers demand fruit of impeccable appearance and taste, produced according to the highest ecological standards and at a reasonable cost – and this against the backdrop of climate change, increasing pest and disease pressure, and the fact that fewer and fewer effective plant-protection products are available for use."
Towards the end of last year some 30 or so experts defined, discussed and expanded on what they identified as the most relevant and innovative medium and long-term projects. Agroscope's newsletter reports: "The selected projects include the use of UV-C radiation for long-term protection of crops from mildew, and the promotion of agrophotovoltaics in fruit and berry production. Further topics are the development of alternative, more resilient systems for fruit production, and residue-free plant protection."
The next step for the network is to define how the projects will be implemented and increasing the size of the network, which is open to all private and public institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences, institutes, cantons, enterprises etc.) wanting to contribute to sustainable fruit production.
Agroscope says these contributions can be in the form of the provision of technical knowledge, experimental sites, infrastructure, financial or personal resources. New stakeholders can join the network at any time, it says.

The process is the punishment. Agents of the Big-government Blob have access to a bottomless pit of lawyers. They can not only afford endless trials, for them it's an advantage. Drag it out, wear opponents down, exhaust their coffers. And while the case is ever-pending and never-ending it's already a win for the accuser — silencing critics, and endorsing celebrity "victim-status". When the defendants witnesses are older and wiser, there's another dark advantage too — vale Bob Carter.
What they cannot afford though is discovery.
So they can't afford to sue a guy like Mark Steyn.
This is about free speech and accountability of publicly funded scientists. Steyn could use your help. See also The criminalization of dissent.
The Mark Steyn 2016 Tour of Australia kicks off this weekend.
For me it's unmissable. Mark Steyn is top of my gifted-writers-list, and is the most fearless pundit in the West today. One of the things I most admire is his classy ability to cut down dumb ideas without also cutting down the humans behind them. Steyn genuinely seems to like humanity for all its outrageous flaws. His writing is elegant, cutting — he's an artisan experimenting with words, punctuation and ideas. His ability to transfer an abstract concept from one brain to thousands is a gift.
Contemplate the impossible challenge of communication — one soul has a pattern of neuronal activity and we want to trigger a similar synaptic pattern to other distant brains. Our only tools are a series of vibrational pulses in air molecules, or a coded spectral pattern in light. It's a hell of an engineering task. Steyn is a master.
A guy can't sit around waiting for litigious fake Nobel Laureates to agree to discovery and deposition. So, with the Mann vs Steyn Trial of the Century currently stalled in the choked septic tank of the DC court system, I figured I might as well put some of the mountain of case research clogging up the office into a brand new book – all about the most famous "science" graph of the 21st century and the man who invented it.
The IPA is raising funds to make the ultimate climate book. I'm delighted to be involved, and I'm humbled and honored to be part of this extraordinary line up. Now Ross McKitrick joins us too.

INTER MILAN striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he would welcome a move to Catalan giants Barcelona if the two clubs reach an agreement.
Barca president Joan Laporta last night claimed a deal had been struck to bring in the Sweden striker after spending the past few days in negotiations with his Inter counterpart Massimo Moratti.
But there is yet to be any official confi rmation of the deal, which is likely to see Inter receive £37million as well as Samuel Eto'o, 28, in exchange.
Winger Alexander Hleb, 28, is also reported to be a part of the deal on a season-long loan. Ibrahimovic, 27, said: "There's a chance that I'll go to Barcelona if a concrete offer is made.


How can yoga benefit my child?
Who should not practice yoga?
Is it ever too late to start practicing Yoga?
Can I practice yoga even if I have knee trouble?
I've got a bad back - is it OK to do yoga?
Can I do yoga if I am pregnant?
Q1. Can anyone do yoga?
Yes, just anyone can do yoga! Yoga is for everyone: young or old, male or female, healthy or sick. Yoga is suitable for individuals of all ages, and of any ethnic, linguistic, or religious background. Yoga can always be adapted to your individual needs, whatever circumstances.
Q2. Can children practice yoga?
Yes, children can also practice yoga. As pointed out earlier, yoga can be practiced by people of any age, taking into account your physical limitations.
Q3. How can yoga benefit my child?
Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.
Q4. Who should not practice yoga?
There is no restriction as to who can or who cannot practice yoga. Yoga can be practiced by anyone. It is suitable for people of any age, ethnicity, or religion. However, if you are suffering from any medical problem or recovered from an injury or operation, it is advisory to consult a doctor before taking up yoga, since yoga may or may not be right for you. It is also necessary to inform the instructor of your health before attending a session.
Q5. Is it ever too late to start practicing Yoga?
There is no age for yoga; you can start at any age and at any time of life. Yoga can be practiced at all ages above twelve 12 years. It can be practiced at the age of 80, years. But one should do only those asanas that are suitable to one's physical conditions.
Q6. Can I practice yoga even if I have knee trouble?
Yoga can actually strengthen the knee joints, making them better, but there are certain precautions one has to take. In standing poses, put most of your weight on the back leg, keeping it strong and straight. Do not attempt lotus pose. Practice virasana, hero's pose often. If your knees hurt a lot in this pose, prop yourself up on a few blankets.
Q7. I've got a bad back - is it OK to do yoga?
Almost certainly, but get your GP's OK first. Doctors and osteopaths often recommend yoga for back problems. However, the term "bad back" can cover a multitude of problems from a minor muscular spasm to major degenerative damage to the discs and/or vertebrae. If you suffer from serious degenerative problems you may need to modify or omit certain postures. If you suffer from chronic pain (whatever the cause), it is particularly important to consult your physician and/or physiotherapist before you begin. If you have been given the green light, it's still important to check in with the yoga teacher before class to let them know about your injury or illness.
Q8. Can I do yoga if I am pregnant?
Yes, but there are certain precautions. Yoga must be carefully tailored to the needs and abilities of the pregnancy. Yoga is a great way to keep fit during pregnancy. In particular it can help strengthen the pelvic area, normalize thyroid functioning and blood pressure, and help keep you calm and relaxed -- all of which is good for the baby, too. In general, however, you want to avoid strain, compressing the belly or abdomen and inverted postures, especially in the later stages.

Baltimore Health Officials Urge Parents To Vaccinate Kids Against Measles
Filed Under:Baltimore, CDC, Disease, Maryland, measles, Outbreak
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Measles cases are on the rise across the country. Seventeen states are now reporting the illness.
Tracey Leong explains what area doctors are doing to stop the disease from hitting Maryland.
In this multi-state outbreak, there are 121 people with the measles. Health officials say the best form of protection is to get vaccinated.
A rallying cry across the nation for parents to vaccinate their children against measles, as the highly contagious and potentially fatal disease explodes across the nation.
"Disneyland became unsafe because parents didn't vaccinate their children," said Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Maryland Secretary of Health.
Some of the most brilliant minds in medicine are pulling together at Johns Hopkins to warn people there is only one line of defense.
"Vaccinations are imperative and very important and will save a child's life," said Dr. Gregory Branch, Baltimore County Department of Health.
Two doses of the measles vaccine has proven to be 97 percent effective.
While the measles outbreak hasn't hit Maryland, health experts say it's only a matter of time, which is why they are being proactive.
"It's about our value to the community in educating the public about vaccines and protecting individuals," said Dr. Leana Wen, Baltimore City Health Department commissioner.
Fifteen years ago, measles was thought to be eliminated. But now it's back, and not slowing down.
Symptoms typically appear within a week after being infected, including a high fever, red eyes and a rash of tiny red spots that can spread to the entire body.
Unvaccinated people who have traveled abroad run the risk of getting the measles and then spreading it when they return to America.
It's most commonly seen in countries in Europe, Asia, the Pacific and Africa.
"This is why, though, we as public health officials and doctors have to join together and talk about protecting not only ourselves and our family and our patients, but also our communities at large," said Dr. Wen.
Maryland has a religious and medical exemption for vaccinations, but health officials say this has not affected people from getting protection. Public schools in Baltimore City have a 99 percent vaccination rate.
Measles is especially dangerous for babies and children under five.


Do compliance executives have the appropriate authority and resources to do their jobs?
Are compliance executives assessing the right risks in the right way?
How do compliance executives use technology to tame the challenges they face?
Increasingly Chief Compliance Officers (CCOs) are reporting directly to either the CEO or the Board, while this figure stood at 57% of the 364 respondents, it clearly shows the importance of allowing CCOs the opportunity to provide an important contribution to corporate strategy, values and culture of the business they are responsible for.
When building a strong, transparent, risk free culture CCOs must feel incorporated as a business partner across the entire organisation. Without this important contribution to the board, companies are limiting themselves from having a clear and full understanding of the importance their compliance function plays in the ongoing stability of their firms. How many boards can therefore say they possess the necessary understanding and skill set to question the compliance team and understand the full ramifications of their responses?
Building resources and their reporting lines is certainly an increasing area of concern for today's CCO. 44% of respondents didn't have designated compliance officers in their subsidiaries, business units or geographic markets. Those that do, have their reporting lines mixed between global CCOs and local senior managers. The question then raised is the independence of the compliance function, where officers report directly into business executives. Importantly there lies a risk of information dropping between the gaps, and failing to reach those in decision making roles. In worse cases scenarios one has to ask how on earth remote compliance functions can possibly oversee business and client activities on a daily basis.
It is however, reassuring to hear that 82% undertook an annual compliance risk assessment, but not everyone had been measuring the effectiveness of their compliance programs with simple metrics such as hotline calls and internal audit findings. Senior management buy-in and feedback is also an essential part of the evolving risk assessment.
So where do we sit with the tools available to CCOs to assist them in performing their reporting and responsibilities? Regulation changes, companies bolster their staffing to manage new administrative requirements and lastly the technology catches up. CCOs constantly have to work with increasingly larger data sets in order to perform their roles. As data sets become more granular it raises the question of the alignment between IT strategy and a CCOs needs. How many CCOs have to patch data sets together from different systems, or reach out to the business personnel to perform data aggregation functions where the accuracy and consistency of the data collected may be overlooked?
PEA has always insisted their head of compliance sits on the board of their company, who regularly reviews and employs additional resources to support their needs. Most importantly we align our data needs to our annual IT strategy so we continue to perform highly efficient accurate and timely reporting to our clients, regulators and investors.


At the heart of the "Medicare for all" proposals championed by Senator Bernie Sanders and many Democrats is a revolutionary idea: Abolish private health insurance.
But doing away with an entire industry would also be profoundly disruptive. The private health insurance business employs at least a half a million people, covers about 250 million Americans, and generates roughly a trillion dollars in revenues. Its companies' stocks are a staple of the mutual funds that make up millions of Americans' retirement savings.
Such a change would shake the entire health care system, which makes up a fifth of the United States economy, as hospitals, doctors, nursing homes and pharmaceutical companies would have to adapt to a new set of rules. Most Americans would have a new insurer — the federal government — and many would find the health insurance stocks in their retirement portfolios much less valuable.
Simply talk of Medicare for all makes investors jittery. Shares of the large publicly held insurance companies, including Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealth, fell when Representative Pramila Jayapal, Democrat of Washington, introduced her bill in late February, but have largely rebounded.
This idea — once at the edge of Democratic politics — has moved to the mainstream of the debate among the party's numerous presidential contenders. Mr. Sanders, independent of Vermont, ran on the idea in his 2016 campaign, and now five 2020 Democratic aspirants have co-sponsored one of the two Medicare-for-all bills.
Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Kamala Harris of California, and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts co-sponsored Mr. Sanders's bill in the last Congress. Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is a co-sponsor on this year's House Medicare for All Act.
But 107 Democratic House members are now co-sponsoring a Medicare for all bill written by Ms. Jayapal. Mr. Sanders, whose update of his bill is expected in the next few weeks, argues that only a single-payer approach would resolve problems he sees as inherent in private insurance. Both proposals are clear that a single, government-run insurer would replace the private sector, but they are less detailed about exactly how the government program would pay for medical care.
Gerald Friedman, a labor economist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who was close to Mr. Sanders's 2016 campaign, estimated then that it could reduce the nation's health care spending by $6 trillion over a decade, while the left-leaning Urban Institute said it might increase the overall bill by nearly $7 trillion.
Both Mr. Sanders and Ms. Jayapal said the switch to a government insurer would mean no loss in access to health care that private insurance provides.
There are sharp disagreements among Democrats in Congress over whether Medicare for all or a more incremental approach is best — and presidential candidates co-sponsoring Mr. Sanders's bill also support other, less sweeping measures.
Ms. Harris, asked directly about getting rid of private health insurance during a CNN forum in January, answered, "Let's eliminate all that. Let's move on." But after her comments were characterized as extreme, her campaign quickly clarified that, while she continued to endorse the Sanders plan, she would also support more incremental expansions of health coverage.
Build Your Own 'Medicare for All' Plan. Beware: There Are Tough Choices.
An earlier version of this article misstated the state Senator Cory Booker represents. It is New Jersey, not California. It also misstated the location of Representative Tulsi Gabbard's congressional district. It is in Hawaii, not New York.

From Google's algorithm update to link building and everything within — Search Engine Optimizers (or, as you call them, SEO experts) face various challenges everyday. As a matter of fact, their business runs entirely upon such challenges and this is what makes SEO the most exciting job on the internet. Even the so-called prolific digital marketers are afraid to get into the SEO business. SEO is a practical subject and everyone knows a little or a lot but never all about it.
In my new How to do SEO? post-series, I will be guiding SEO enthusiasts to proper methods on tackling the most troublesome problems in SEO. In this tutorial, we'll just focus on key points of SEO.
What can SEO do for a website?
What can SEO not do for a website?
How to do SEO for a website?
SEO is literally the most important element of any website.
SEO or Search engine optimization is, basically, optimization of web pages for Search Engines. That may include many elements such as content optimization, user-experience evaluation, and internal link optimization etc. It additionally includes improving the page's visibility among the audience. Primarily, SEO focuses on getting organic traffic from natural or unpaid resources.
Improve site visibility in Search Results in Search Engines like Google, Bing & Yahoo!
SEO is a slow process and it takes a lot of time for a page to be properly ranked in Search Engines. Additionally there are some things that it can not do, despite all practices.
Boost engagement for Social Network profiles — despite those too being webpages.
Take your site from 0% to 100% in no-time.
Boost app/product reviews — that'll require better app/products.
SEO is not magic but is only as tough as to learn magic.
This is a very big question.
The honest answer is, it depends.
It depends upon the niche or industry, website history, client goals and kind of website.
It also depends on budget and priorities and all kinds of things we could sit here all day and list out.
Content should be well targeted to the industry your site is involved with. It should be readable and properly formatted. Depending upon the client goals, proper call to actions must be used and headings — which are most essential in ranking pages — must be used wisely. Anchor texts and images are required to be inserted properly with valid HTML tags. Poor content can lead penalty to your website.
Your website must be mobile friendly and easy to navigate through pages.
A quick focus on readability and accessibility can help the user experience a lot.
Give only what people need. Don't get extra creative. Make sure what the purpose of your website is and work along that purpose.
Make sure that your website has properly inserted key elements — like a search box, menus, footers etc.
Popups are kind of a hurdle for UX. So make sure that there aren't much popups in the site.
Has a valid RSS Feed, if the site is a blog.
If you are a local business, claim Google Business Listing. Whenever you make changes in your business, ensure that your business pages reflect it. The page should be optimized, so that information such as phone numbers, location, relevant categories are all correct to help customers to get you easily.
Add your sites to various social networks. Search engines always receive a signal whenever someone follows likes or shares a video or image on social media thus a great place to improve your page rank by gaining credibility to your third-party website.
Share and inspire others to share your content to social networks.
Pages like the Yellow Pages, Refer Local, Yelp, or Bing should be concentrated by you making sure that you get on them. They should have the right information for you. Ensure information like your website, address, and a small explanation of what you deal with is detailed. Customers leaving a review on the website about a transaction they did with you can help in enhancing visibility so make sure you let them know.
Build Backlinks: In the language of SEO, a backlink to your site is an HTTP URL from any other site which points to one of your webpages. Backlinks help bloggers & webmasters meet more traffic, better search engine reputation and gain better algorithmic parameters like Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, Moz Rank, Domain Authority & Page Authority. All your SEO strategies are waste until a large number of websites link to your site.
Always keep an eye on Google Algorithmic changes and adjust your content strategy accordingly.
There are various guides that can help you get started with SEO. Make sure you go through every such article you find under prestigious names like Moz, Search Engine Land, Neil Patel etc. You should also follow these blogs to stay in touch with trends and practices of modern SEO.
Very nice article. It is obviously true that without SEO a website never Brings good result. I like your article bro. But Why you did not add the share button? Only add button in your profile.
Thank you for sharing this excellent information expects some additional in near destiny. i prefer commenting on articles which i exploit to comment usually. I consider all points you have I will observe all of them. i actually like your expressive style. More wonderfully inspirational and easy to initiate ideas! When life is busy, it's fantastic to hear your tips and be reminded of some of the little essentials. Much needed motivation!

His worth is always there – Valverde praises Suarez
Dejan Kalinic
07:31 GMT+3 29/10/2018
Barcelona's manager hailed his star striker after he netted a hat-trick against Real Madrid on Sunday
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde described Luis Suarez's El Clasico hat-trick as "normal" after the forward fired his side past Real Madrid.
Suarez scored a hat-trick, to go with goals from Philippe Coutinho and Arturo Vidal, as Barca thrashed Madrid 5-1 at Camp Nou on Sunday.
The Uruguay international has been questioned this season, but his latest display took him to seven goals and six assists in 14 games in all competitions.
Valverde dismissed any questions over Suarez, saying what the 31-year-old contributed to Barca was clear.
"That's the normal situation. Last season with Luis, the same thing happened," he said.
"Everybody was talking about him not scoring but because he works so hard, the consequences are the results.
"In the long term, that's what he does. We win from having him in our team.
"I didn't think many people were going to ask me about Luis Suarez but obviously having scored a hat-trick, his worth is always there."
Barca are one point clear atop La Liga, while Madrid have dropped to ninth – seven points behind their rivals.


Google has added the Winter Olympics slopes to its Street View application, allowing users to see the same view down a mountain as a skier about to push off in their quest for gold.
With the 2010 Games about to start in Vancouver, the Californian search giant has been putting the finishing touches to its Whistler microsite.
The site permits users to "fly-through" the terrain and digitally-reconstructed infrastructure of the resort in three dimensions.
Engineers began thinking of ways to get sports fans closer to the action and came up with the idea of installing a Street View camera on a snowmobile and taking it 7,000 feet up Whistler mountain.
Engineer Dan Ratner explained: "In typical scrappy Google fashion, we were able to put this together over a few weekends. We used extra pieces from our Street View cars, some 2x4s, some duct tape, and a lot of extra hard drives."
"We got in touch with the folks at Whistler to discuss our slightly crazy idea and they were just as enthusiastic."

The Margaret Trowel School of Industrial and Art (MTSIFA) in the College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT) Makerere University has entered into a partnership with the University of Bergen (UIB), Faculty of Art, Music and Design to work towards internalizing and nurturing local indigenous knowledge.
The project will contribute to a multidisciplinary internationalization of higher education between global south and north with art, design, music, involving the two universities and independent enterprises linked to these disciplines.
Teams from the two Universities met at the College of Engineering to further discuss the implementation details and paid a courtesy call on the Deputy Principal, Dr. Venny Nakazibwe.
The project aims to strengthen and develop curricula that investigates how a multidisciplinary approach to arts produced and displayed in public space can support skill and knowledge development within a framework of equitable education and cultural sustainability
This will be dome through activities where local assets form the components of artistic practice and where collaborations between students, staff and professionals will provide training and build competence at both partner institutions.
According to Dr. Venny Nakazibwe, the multi -disciplinary project within design, visual art and music will be coordinated by the University of Bergen (UIB), Faculty of Art, Music and Design together with Makerere University, College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT)
It aims to strengthen a long term partnership in educational exchange for the first time within multidisciplinary educational module that will be embedded in the curricular of two existing post graduate programs at UiB and will allow for the participation of students from Uganda through scholarships, exchange and short term workshops.
The five-year project will be conducted in four stages namely mutual academic staff mobility, student participation in workshops through blended mobility, full semester exchange and a full Master's program as well as the implementation of the new model.
In all stages, online learning platforms will support team work, knowledge exchange and curriculum development. The result will be publicly disseminated in museums and galleries during the project and in major exposition in project finalization.

Hexanucleotide repeat expansions, often in introns, are associated with at least two diseases, Frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FTDALS, caused by expansions in the C9ORF72 gene) and Spinocerebellar ataxia 36 (SCA36, caused by expansions in the NOP56 gene). They may also may also cause susceptibility to asthma. The mechanisms by which these expansions cause disease is currently unknown, but it likely involves the production of dipeptide repeat proteins generated from the expanded hexnucleotide regions.
For stocks used to study hexanucleotide repeats, please see the FTDALS page.

Mindwarp
Kiv was the leader of the Mentors and the direct superior of Sil during the late 24th century.
Kiv helped the Mentors become rich from profitable deals, and was worshipped by many members of his race, particularly Sil. He was involved in weapons dealing with the primitive peoples of the planet Krontep in 2379.
Kiv's great intelligence and business expertise were likely due to his mutated brain, which was vastly larger than the brains of most other Mentors. However, Kiv's brain did not stop growing larger as he got older, and later in his life, his brain was compressed against his skull, which caused him severe pain and would have eventually resulted in his death. To prevent this, he hired the scientist Crozier to find a way of transferring his brain into a host who could hold his expanding brain without trouble.
The first operation performed by Crozier moved his brain into the body of a similar Mentor, albeit tan-coloured and with a stinging barb. Kiv's second body held the brain for a bit longer but was not a perfect solution – not least due to the fact that the mind of its original owner, a fisherman, kept influencing Kiv's business decisions.
When the brain started getting too large for the second body, Crozier tried a different technique and transferred Kiv's consciousness directly into the body of Peri Brown, destroying her original mind and removing the problem of Kiv's constantly expanding brain. Shortly afterwards, however, King Yrcanos, who had fallen in love with Peri, broke into Crozier's laboratory. Discovering what had happened to her, Yrcanos killed everyone there, including Kiv.

Many things espoused over centuries by Christian churches are simply not credible. It's downright confusing to Christians and absolutely bewildering to non-Christians, historians and psychologists when they try to reconcile it with Jesus's teaching.
This is the stuff that gets in the way. Get it out of you.
Its actually simple as this paper describes in detail. What is a Christian? A Biblical Perspective.
Christian maturity however, is not intellectual. See this paper – The Apollos Heresy in the Church Today.
Christian maturity does not judge, but upholds God's judgement as revealed in Scripture.
Ultimately, authenticity as a Christian is where understanding leads to freedom from worldly human values/expectations and acceptance/practise of a new way of life in Jesus.

Reversed and Remanded
Facts: In May 2017, the child was adjudicated neglected. The first review and permanency planning hearing was held in June 2017, and the court awarded DSS custody with a trial home placement with respondent father. In August 2017, the child was removed from father's home and placed with maternal grandparents. A subsequent permanency planning hearing was held in October 2017, and the permanency planning order concluded respondent acted inconsistently with his parental rights and ordered legal custody to the maternal grandparents; waived further review hearings; and relieved DSS, the child's GAL, and the respondent's attorney.
Issue on appeal: Respondent father appeals arguing the findings do not support the cessation of reunification efforts. "Because the trial court failed to comply with the statutory mandate and adopt a permanent plan for [the child], however, we [the court of appeals] decline to address the argument, and reverse and remand" for the trial court to adopt one or more permanent plans as required by G.S. 7B-906.2. Sl. Op. at 6.
Under G.S. 7B-906.2(a)‒(b), (1) the trial court "shall" adopt one or more concurrent permanent plans with a primary and secondary plan identified; (2) reunification "shall" remain a primary or secondary plan unless certain findings are made; and (3) concurrent planning "shall" continue until a permanent plan has been achieved. "Shall" is a mandate to trial judges, and failure to comply with that mandate is reversible error. The trial court never established a permanent plan for the child as required by G.S. 7B-906.2.

Year of Polar Prediction: more than 60 radiosondes launched at Vernadsky, having received unique data for world science
16.01.2023 in News0
In 2022, an exceptional international initiative, the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP), was launched, which was held around the world. YOPP mission is enabling a significant improvement in environmental prediction capabilities for polar regions and beyond.
Despite the full-scale war, Ukraine actively joined this initiative. For the first time in the history of Ukrainian Antarctic Expeditions, our meteorologists began continuous research of the atmosphere with the help of radiosondes.
In addition to Vernadsky station, radio sounding of the atmosphere was carried out at another 23 Antarctic stations belonging to 13 countries (Argentina, Australia, Chile, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Portugal, Great Britain, USA).
A total of 609 radiosondes were launched from all stations during the monitoring period.
It should be noted that 63 of them were launched by Ukrainian scientists from Vernadsky, and this is a fairly large proportion, almost 10%! This is important, since each successful flight of the radiosonde made it possible to obtain unique data, which are now being studied by scientists from all over the world.
So, now the information received is used to improve the weather forecast in the region of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. These data will also be used to investigate the vertical distribution of various atmospheric characteristics and their changes.
We are proud that, despite the difficult situation in the country, our polar explorers are actively participating in important international projects creating world science.
And how the launches of radiosondes were carried out (at our station, due to the whims of the weather, it was another quest), watch the video.

Details on new Nintendo DSi revealved
By Graeme
Looks like the often rumoured redesign of the DS is coming out in Japan next month.
DSi is 12% smaller but with a bigger screen (looks almost exactly like a Lite though), 3MP Camera, SD Card slot, internal memory for saving games, built in web browser and photo editing software, and does remove the GBA slot.
The internal memory will be used for storing downloadable games for "DS Ware" and a likely virtual console. The Wii Points cards will be renamed Nintendo Points to reflect the usage for both systems.
Release in Japan is Nov 1st and will retail for ~$180 and comes with 1000 Nintendo Points for a limited time.

More pics, and a nice interactive DS/DSi size comparison on Nintendo Japan's Site (just click along the bars on the bottom).
It may be nerdy, but I really hope it has WPA2 support (there's no way in hell they aren't adding that, right?).
Also wondering what the full camera specs are, since there's two exterior lenses. One article specifies the back-of-lid camera has 3MP resolution, so that makes me think the hinge is a completely different lower-quality webcam system.
Edit: Bets on them announcing during the American press conference tomorrow a US date before Dec. 25th? Nintendo really does know how to print money.
Edited October 2, 2008 by Ryan FB
It's rather cute. I never did replace my original chunky DS with a Lite so might be tempted by one of these. I'm not too concerned about the loss of the GBA slot as I'd actually really like to find a Gameboy Micro (although they seem difficult to find these days).
If there's no GBA slot, that breaks Guitar Hero DS, right?
As for release date, I doubt Ninty will release it over here so soon unless it's in limited quantities.. March?
Dave C
Unless there is some sort of after market GBA adapter, no sale here. My daughter still loves to play many of her old GBA games.
Reggie at the US Press Conference say it won't be in NA until "Well into 2009"
System will also play ACC audio files from the SD card and has 2 cameras, one on front and one on back.
Well in that case, I've sent an email to NCSX asking to be put on the preorder contact list.
My DS Lite is already right on the edge of being too small for me to comfortably hold, so I think I'll be passing on the DSi...
What a dull update.
Initially it looks like a Japanese-only SKU. Doesn't seem like a large enough change to fly over here.
I see plenty of used Micros around here. Could look into it if you'ld like.
I'm still sporting the original DS and have been contemplating finally upgrading to a Lite. Upgrade now or wait for a DSi. Decisions....
I think its an interesting revision of the DS hardware... Curious to get my hands on one and try it out. I like the Lite but we've kept our original DS Phat all this time as its easier on the hands for me (as mentioned). Dual cameras means video chat or integration with some games so thats a surprising add-on for Nintendo IMO - Guess we'll have to wait and see how it will be used.
Answering my own question, it will support WEP, WPA/WPA2 (TKIP/AES), and the magic protocols like Buffalo's AOSS and WiFi Alliance WPS. It can save six connection profiles instead of three.
The screen isn't getting a resolution update
I've heard it's a 0.3 MP camera rather than 3 MP - dunno whether to believe that
Losing the GBA slot is a blow but meh at least I already have one with the slot.
I might get the update for the new features but it's a little iffy (I dont have unlimited cash and this doesn't sound good enough except for the online store feature)
Revision, if the camera is actually a webcam, then it might be actually kind of a nifty utility device for netting on the go
EnemaEms
I thought the "closed" camera is 3.0 MP and the camera "opened" is .3 MP.
I will get one next year for sure. The Online store is enough for me. A pre-order will be a must I am betting.
-Dean-
I dunno hearing different things from different people about the cam. Some sy they can't find any reference to the 3 MP cam, only to a 0.3 mp cam
The 0.3 open, 3 MP closed sounds semi reasonable But there's the problem of how the heck do you line up a shot with a closed DS and no screens to see what you're snapping?
Just got this from NCSX:
Suppliers in Japan have posted their prices for the first batch of NDSi which is scheduled to arrive on Friday or Monday of next week. The average listing price is JPY26,500 which means our cost is US$277.64 per unit as of this morning's exchange rate of US$1 to ?95.43. If we import them for customers, our retail price will be US$292.50 for the white version and $295.50 for the black NDSi.
We're leery of paying such high prices since better deals will be forthcoming in the next 2-3 weeks as additional supplies make it to market. We'll contact customers today with news on the pricing. Please note the following caveats:
1) It is unlikely that we'll receive enough NDSi units this week to fill all orders. As such, it may take up to 3 weeks to fill your order.
2) If the price drops in the marketplace before we fill your order, we will adjust the pricing for you automatically.
3) NCS expects mostlywhite NDSi units this week due to potential short supplies of the black NDSi from our vendors.
Due to the current level of pricing, NCS recommends that customers wait 2-3 weeks for prices to drop to more reasonable levels. There's a good likelihood that prices will drop $50-$60 when the second batch makes it to market in mid-late November. One factor that might prevent this drop would be the continued erosion of the US dollar against the Japanese yen.
I'd pay $180-200, but $300? Uh, no. Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.
300 for a DS seems steep considering what you get with a PSP for a lower price >.>
That's an importer's price - people buying that are paying a premium for getting it so soon. Even NCSX are suggesting people wait.
US site launched. Release date is now officially April 5th 2009. IGN's got a hands-on article about the US DSi.
The system will launch in this territory on April 5th for $169.99, 40 dollars more than the current generation Nintendo DS Lite. Though all the photos that Nintendo has sent out are of the black model, the company will release the DSi in both black as well as blue on launch day.
Dean already has a dozen reserved
Heh. I'm tempted to get a black one myself; I have a $100 "reward" from work that has to go towards a console with the caveat of I have to buy it from a physical store, not online. That would make the price palatable.
My girlfriend is constantly stealing my DS... so I'll probably pick one of these up.
I never got around to importing one, but I've gone ahead and preordered the black.
It's on Amazon for preorder... so I locked one in.
That blue isn't exactly blue, more turquoise/aquamarine than anything. Love the color but I can imagine the looks I'd get with that one.
Heh, I have a purple GameCube. I ain't afraid of nothing (except large dogs).


Reblog of a piece I originally wrote for Teaching the Codex on my work with the Society of Northumbrian Scribes.
Dr Johanna Green is a lecturer in Book History and Digital Humanities at the University of Glasgow. Her PhD (English Language, University of Glasgow 2012) focused on a palaeographical study of the textual division and subordination of the Exeter Book manuscript. Here, she tells us about the first of two sessions she led for the Society of Northumbrian Scribes, a group of calligraphers based in North East England, bringing palaeographic research and modern-day calligraphy together for the public.


This year for the Christmas season, World Relief Seattle is inviting you to participate again in our annual 12 Days of Christmas Gifts. Each day between the 1st and the 12th, we will be collecting a different item that will be given directly to new refugee families. These items range from Soccer Balls to Laptops and they will go a long way in making Seattle feel not just like another place families have fled to, but that this is now home and they are loved and welcomed by the local community here.
Soccer Balls and Coloring Books: Each year for our Refugee Christmas Party, World Relief Seattle gives away around 150 soccer balls to refugee youth who have arrived to Seattle in the last year. We will also be giving coloring books and coloring supplies as well.
Twin Sheet and Comforter Set: As the weather gets colder, we are asking for twin bedding. Twin mattresses, box springs, bed frames, blankets and sheets are one of our largest needs each year.
Rice Cookers: Rice is the staple food for more than 1.6 Billion people around the world particularly in Asia, Latin America, parts of Africa and the Middle East where many of our refugee friends are arriving from. A high quality rice cooker can free parents up to spend more time with their children rather than spending time over a stove.
Cookware Set: A new set of pots and pans will welcome families into their new kitchen as they prepare meals that are nourishing and familiar.
Diapers…Size 3 and 4: A new baby brings joy and happiness to a family and a lot of new expenses too. When we sit down with families and go over monthly budgets, diapers always pop up as a huge expense that parents worry how to afford.
Bed Frames: We admit it. There is nothing very exciting about twin bed frames. But these are some of the hardest things for us to find in large quantities at an affordable price for families.
Baby Strollers: Kids grow quickly and just like with the diapers, we have two different sizes of baby strollers on the registry. With most of the items on the list we also take the gently used version and if you have an old stroller that you would like to donate to a family please contact our donations team at seattleGIK@wr.org or call (253) 277-1121 x233.
Microwaves: The apartments that families first move into have most modern amenities like a refrigerator, an oven and a stove, but they don't come with microwaves. A microwave isn't a necessity, but it sure helps when you want to heat up some injera for an after school snack.
Vacuums: Keeping a home clean is a large part in making a new apartment feel safe and warm. A vacuum is an essential piece of equipment and common ask for our donations team to find for new families.
Infant and Child Car Seats: Car seats are a necessary part of modern life and the transportation of newborns and young children. They are also to put it mildly, very expensive. Like diapers, strollers and clothing kids also grow out of them very quickly, which is whey we have added a few different sizes to our wish list.
Pack and Play: A pack and play helps new parents watch over their young children in a safe space. We know of several refugee mothers who are expecting in the coming weeks and months. Please purchase this item with the matching mattress and sheet sold separately.
Laptops: A computer goes a long way in helping someone become self-sufficient here in the U.S. Kids can use it to do homework. Parents can use it to look for employment. The whole family can use it to communicate with relatives back in their home country.
We will be using an Amazon baby registry where you can purchase the items and have them shipped directly to our office. If you already have a gently used version of the same item we are more than happy to accept those as well via our regular donations team which can be reached at seattleGIK@wr.org or by calling (253) 277-1121 x233. A full list of all the household goods we furnish a home with can be found here.

New Year's Eve is punctuated with fireworks.
New Year's Eve is for reflection on a year ending.
New Year's Eve is filled with resolutions for the days ahead.
The task of welcoming refugees and newcomers that we get to do here at World Relief Seattle doesn't stop at midnight. 2015 saw the worst refugee crisis since WWII, and according to the UNHCR's latest figures, it is getting worse.
As World Relief International responds to the crisis on the ground in countries throughout the Middle East, we in Seattle welcomed one of the first of what will be many families to arrive to Western Washington from Syria. Listen to their arrival story here from KUOW.
As governors across the country attempted to close their states to vulnerable families seeking refuge in 2015, our governor stated that "Washington will continue to be a state that welcomes those seeking refuge from persecution, regardless of where they come from or the religion they practice…" just as it has for tens of thousands of Vietnamese, Ukrainians and Somalis over the previous decades.
Looking forward into 2016, we are hopeful for the families who are waiting to come to Seattle right now. We are expecting nearly 800 people to arrive this coming year. We know that some of those individuals who will arrive are people who put their lives on the line to support U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. We know that some children who will arrive were born and raised in refugee camps. They will be able to attend area schools where they will flourish as Bulldogs, Raiders, and Royals.
Several families welcomed new additions in the month of December alone. Our volunteers and caseworker are looking forward to Midnight texts with pictures of newborns in the year to come. The work we do, the work that we invite local churches, businesses, and the whole community into is about seeing lives transformed.
Will you advocate for refugees?
Will you give to refugees?
Will your company hire refugees?
These things we hope for in the new year will take more than a moment. They will take hard work and commitment. They will take patience and perseverance on behalf or our staff, volunteers and participants. We invite you to join us in this transformational work in 2016.

This year for the Christmas season, World Relief Seattle is inviting you to participate in a giving campaign at the beginning of December. Each day between the 1st and the 12th, we will be collecting a different item that will be given directly to new refugee families. These items range from Soccer Balls to Laptops and they will go a long way in making Seattle feel not just like another place families have fled to, but that this is now home and they are loved and welcomed by the local community here.

Loren and Karen Marston have a good-sized yard that wraps around their house. When I came to visit on a recent day with temperatures reaching into the 80s, Loren was out amongst the trees, sprucing things up.
"I don't have a pretty garden," he said.
But apparently, he does have a popular one.
A week before our meeting, Loren was gathered with others at World Relief's Welcome Home when he got a call. It was a refugee friend from Afghanistan with a request: could he and a group of Afghan friends have a picnic in the Marstons' yard…tonight? The park where they'd planned to meet was closed. Loren agreed.
He left his meeting early and returned home to a small crowd of men and boys setting up their picnic. "There were about six cars when I pulled up," Loren recalled. More showed up, and soon the Marstons' yard was playing host to more than 30 guests. Loren strung up a shop light so that the picnic could continue after sunset. It was close to midnight when the last guests drove away.
"Strange things happen," Loren said with a smile.
Loren and a young Iraqi friend.
The Marstons will tell you that opening their lives—and their home—to refugees isn't something that came easily.
"We had to grow into this," Karen laughed as she recalled their early interactions with refugees.
Over the years, they hosted families that were resettled by World Relief Seattle, first from countries such as Burundi and Congo and more recently from Afghanistan and Iran. The day that I visited them, the Marstons had friends from Afghanistan staying in their basement.
But it was a partnership between their church, Faith Kent, and the local school district that spawned the Marstons' most recent work with refugees.
Church members volunteered in an English program for refugee students at the elementary school across the street from Faith Kent. When the program's funding dried up at the end of the 2014 school year, Faith Kent began hosting classes on site at the church through the summer.
What started with school children soon grew to include their parents and siblings. In total, Faith Kent hosted two elementary classes, young children's care, ESL classes for parents, and a class for middle school and high school students.
Classes continued for the next six months at a local apartment complex where many of the students lived, but space constraints proved problematic. Faith Kent volunteers got into contact with the local school district and were able to secure a building across the street from several apartment complexes that are home to many refugees in the area. One evening a week, they offer activities for the children and English practice time for their parents.
Connections in the classes often occur naturally. "It's not like we had a plan of what was going to happen," said Loren, referring to the bonds that have developed between the refugees and volunteers. Now one year on, several American volunteers visit their new refugee friends outside of class on a regular basis.
Connections can also be unexpected. The day before I met with the Marstons, a public health nurse showed up to volunteer for the first time this year. Much to her surprise, she was greeted by hugs from students who she had previously helped in her work with them as expectant moms.
If you're interested in befriending or volunteering with refugees in King County, there are always people in need of friendship and community. Check out some local volunteering opportunities or email the Volunteer Coordinator at volunteerseattle@wr.org. Find your place in the story!

"When I want to do something, I will do it," Robika Noori says. At thirty-three years old, Robika has moved further away from home and done more to advance women's rights than most of us will in a lifetime. She agreed to let me spend some time speaking with her at the Green River College library, about her past, her career advocating for women's rights in Afghanistan, and what her transition to life in the U.S. has been like.
Robika was twelve when she and her family moved from their home in Kabul to a smaller village in the North of Afghanistan because of the war. Despite the increasingly dangerous situation in Afghanistan, Robika finished high school and graduated with top grades in her class. Her plan was to continue on to university and pursue a degree in engineering, but at the time, the Taliban had gained power in Afghanistan. During this time, Robika explains, it was nearly impossible for both men and women to study because of the increased restrictions on universities in Afghanistan. As security decreased in the North, Robika and her family moved back to Kabul. She looks back on this as a difficult time. "We were like birds in cages," she says. Women were required to wear a burka, and could not leave the house to go to school, to work, or to go shopping.
In 2003, there was a change in government and it was once again possible for women to be active outside the home. When she began looking into attending university, she found that the records of her high school education had been destroyed, making it impossible for her to continue her studies in Afghanistan. Because of this, Robika decided to take a job at a local NGO instead. Robika continued on to work for several different projects focused on increasing women's equality. She worked as a gender auditor for local NGO's to ensure that women had access to the resources they needed to work there. She explains, "You should have, for example, day care for them. You should have restrooms for them. What should you do if a woman has, for example, pregnancy, holidays, these things. We had a special gender plan for them." In all her positions she worked closely with municipalities, communities, and local elders to design projects with a vision of gender equality in mind.
As a result of these many precautions, Robika and her family were able to remain safe in Afghanistan for several years. One day though, Robika stepped into a taxi and the driver recognized her. He said that he knew her, and named the organization she had been working for, where her house was, and what her salary was. Though the organization where Robika was working at the time took measures to keep her safe, Robika did not feel comfortable knowing that the taxi driver, and possibly others, knew about her and her family and where they lived. In January 2014, Robika and her family once again moved back to Kabul, this time to begin the application process for a visa to the United States.
In September 2014, Robika, her husband, and their three young children were able to come to the U.S. They first moved to California where Robika's aunt lives, but after a few months the high rent, lack of jobs, and distance from the local resettlement agency lead them to make another move, this time to Kent, WA, where Robika became connected to World Relief. Through World Relief, Robika was able to get help with problems like health insurance and finding a job. During the time she spent at English and job classes at World Relief, she met a network of Afghan women. Robika enrolled as a student at Green River College. "College was a dream [I had] when I was in school," she says. After enrolling at Green River College, she quickly found a work study job as an office assistant. Her days are now filled with both working and studying at Green River. She is currently taking prerequisites and will continue on to major in Business Management.
Though Robika likes the Seattle area, she hopes to eventually move back to Afghanistan to continue the work she left there. She says that, "If the security of Afghanistan is good, I will go and I will start work for women again. It is my dream to work for women." Laughing, she adds that, "my kids, they say, 'If you go back, we will not go with you, because here is very good.' " If Robika is unable to return to Afghanistan (or if her children convince her to stay), she hopes to work as an advisor for a health and human service organization such as DSHS or World Relief to help them better serve the new demographic of Afghans arriving in the area.
Wherever Robika Noori may find herself, it is clear that what she is dedicated to advancing the rights of women. Because of the lack of gender equality and opportunities that exist for women in Afghanistan, Robika says that it is sometimes difficult for Afghan women who have recently come to the U.S. "They think…we can't," she says, and continues on to express the need for vocational training for women so that they can play a role in the economy of their families.
Though Robika hopes to someday return home to Afghanistan and continue working for women there, it is clear that she is doing her best– and succeeding– at making a home for herself in the United States as well. She speaks confidently and quickly in English, and her schedule is fully booked with school, work, and interpreting. She helps fellow Afghans whenever she can, and is quick to respond with advice or explanations when asked questions about the Afghan culture. We can count ourselves lucky to have a confident and community-oriented woman like Robika Noori as a resident of Kent.

Q: Overflow hidden on an absolute positioned SVG Want to make the parts of the circle that overflows outside of the shadowed container disappear. I'm using bootstrap-4.

body {
  overflow: hidden;
}

.container {
  margin-top: 5%;
  width: 1200px;
  height: 625px;
  border-radius: 4px;
  background-color: #fff;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.bg {
  position: absolute;
  display: inline-block;
  right: 10px;
  top: 20px;
  width: 30vw;
  height: 30vw;
  overflow: hidden;
}

    <svg class="head_bg1" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
      <defs>
        <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="0%">
            <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#614385;stop-opacity:1"/>
            <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#516395;stop-opacity:1"/>
        </linearGradient>
      </defs>
      <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="url(#grad1)"/>
    </svg>

https://jsfiddle.net/djaspar/zr8eqL8j/
Result:

A: When you want to use overflow: hidden with position: absolute, you have to know that the overflow is based on the first positioned ancestor;
In your example, you need a position: relative on the .container, and some negative offsets on your .bg. Here : https://jsfiddle.net/mopbq56s/

div {
  margin: 10vmin;
  position: relative;
  height: 625px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

svg {
    position: absolute;
    right: -50px;
    top: -50px;
    width: 30vw;
    height: 30vw;
}

    <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100">
        <defs>
            <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="100%" y2="0%">
                <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:#614385;stop-opacity:1"/>
                <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:#516395;stop-opacity:1"/>
            </linearGradient>
        </defs>
        <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="url(#grad1)"/>

Men's track repeats as NorCal champs, Batson sets personal record
TOPICS:Articles by Trevor Horn
By Trevor Horn May 14, 2012
Wind aided or not, Diondre Batson put on a show.
At what has been long considered to be an after thought event because of the high winds in San Mateo, Batson ran a personal best 10.10 seconds in the men's 100 meter finals at the Northern California Community College Finals at College of San Mateo on May, 11.
Batson has bettered his time in the 100 from over 10.50 in early April to a time that would be the sixth fasted time in NCAA Divsion I.
"To see this guy continue to drop time like he has dropped," ARC sprints coach Michael Reid said. "I see it in practice, but I think he can run in the nine seconds. People were laughing at me before about that. But they aren't laughing anymore."
Batson's 100 time was a wind aided 2.4 meters per second, which is not legal for Olympic standards. Olympic standard is 2.0 and under.
But it is legal in the collegiate ranks, while besting his personal record (previous 10.13) and set the record in NorCal final record, the stadium record and is tops in the state this season.
Mind-boggling as it is, Batson also boasts the ninth fastest time in the country and the 25th fastest time in the world.
Still needing to finish under 10.18 with a legal Olympic qualifying wind, Batson has his sights set high on next weekend's state finals at Cerritos College in Norwalk just outside of Los Angeles.
"I want to go 9-something and blow a hole the state meet," Batson said.
The crowd was geared up for a show from the speedster.
And after he blazed past the competition and the clock read 10.10, there was a loud gasp from the on-lookers knowing that the wind-aid took a bit of the excitment from the stellar performance. The sophomore from Laguna Creek High School in Elk Grove was aware of the crowd's excitement on Friday.
"It's fun having people want you to do better," Batson said. "Most people don't want you to do better because you are kicking their team's butt–but everyone out here wants me to do better."
Batson has qualified for the Olympic trials next month in Eugene, Ore. in the 200 with a 20.50 in April.
Oh yes, he also finished fourth in the long jump, and ran the third leg in the 4×400 meter relay (3rd place) and the anchor in the 4×100 (2nd place).
Along with Batson, the ARC men's team repeated as NorCal champions.
Matt Airola, despite saying he was going to take it easy before the events began Friday morning, blazed through the final legs of the 800 and 1,500 meter events to take home the NorCal title in both events.
"This meet is all about the team and scoring points and getting the team title," Batson said. "But next week we are going to pull out all of the stops."
Other notables:
• The ARC women's team took third with 80.5 team points.
• -Sara Howard won the NorCal title in the 3,000 meter steeplechase (11:36.42) while placing third in both the 5,000 (19:04.66) and the 10K (39:09.11).
• -Freshman Alexis Browner finished third in the 100 (11.98).
• -Men's head coach RickAnderson said he expects to take 29 athletes to the state finals in Cerritos next weekend for both the men and women's teams.

Unfortunately most of our classes this week were cancelled due to the snow! Only our Tuesday classes ran. Hopefully we'll be back to normal next week.
Amber class embraced the spirit of World Book Day by making their own picture books! We discussed traditional tales, identifying the main characters, setting and problem within each story. We designed our own characters, then chose an appropriate setting from a selection of ideas. We took turns to take a 'problem prompt' from a hat to give us some ideas for possible problems for the characters in our stories to encounter. We then set to work creating a story using our chosen elements to show how our heroes solved the problem!
Our Silver Arts Award group are busy working on their self-initiated project to produce an illustrated poetry anthology. They were working on collage and drypoint intaglio printmaking, amongst other things! W'ew looking forward to sharing the finished anthology after Easter.

UK Government Releases Digital Britain Report
June 19, 2009 · by Bill Jones · in Law, UK · Leave a comment
The UK Government yesterday launched its long-awaited Lord Carter's Digital Britain Report. It spans a wide industrial cluster, from media to broadband, mobility, etc.
Minister Ben Bradshaw, in the launch statement to the House of Commons, said that theft of intellectual property is nevertheless theft, and is not to be condoned. The report has a robust legal and regulatory framework to combat Digital Piracy, and it indicates that the government will do all it can to protect Intellectual Property as a cornerstone of a strong economy.
The report itself states that "unlawful downloading or uploading, whether via peer-to-peer sites or other means, is effectively a civil form of theft. This is not something that we can condone or to which we can fail to respond. We are therefore setting out … a clear path to addressing this problem."
The report is 245 pages long, is ambitious and is detailed. Yet many say it is not detailed enough. It tacitly acknowledges that it is building on prior reports, that the economic circumstances have changed since those reports, and that we now know more since the Caio and Gowers Reviews were published.
And whilst the devil is in the details, the report outlines further work that must be done before primary legislation can be brought forward. (The UK government's normal process is to undertake "consultations" and "analysis" to guide it towards policy recommendations, initiatives, and drafting of primary legislation.) The Recommendations section of the report includes six on further analysis and one for further review. The interim report recommended 8 consultations, whilst this report introduces 12 consultations, including one on P2P. Nevertheless, the report contains 72 action points. In that sense, it's not a finished piece of work. It also falls short, in many instances, of indentifying who will pick up the costs of these interventions. It wills the end but not the means.
The huge amount of detail in the report indicates how difficult and challenging it is for governments to deal with this whole area. It is creating a new industrial sector, in which most parties, including consumers, are to some extent legally illiterate. That is, the government has to create new laws and conditions on behalf of its citizens, within which the newer economy can thrive and for which the instruments of orderly commerce are known, understood, have respect and are obeyed; in the meantime, government also does all it can to create the conditions for the UK to be a global leader in the digital industries.
The significance of this report is not in the detail, rather it is in the way in which it has emerged, the audience that it will have, and the ramifications beyond the shores of the UK.
One should not underestimate the international significance of this report. Governmental financial intervention is controlled by European Union "state aid" rules. In this report, state aid components have been cleared with the EU, the IPR components have been discussed at length and therefore probably tacitly endorsed by the relevant international IPR agencies. The UK's approach to regulatory and legal developments are copied internationally. In short, the UK has not produced this report in isolation.
As the EU's Lisbon agenda, which includes aspects of Information Communications and Telecoms (ICT), moves towards its 2010 conclusion, the EU can be viewed as "in stasis" on these topics, until it develops a new agenda. Sweden and Spain will hold the next presidencies of the EU; both have taken a keen interest in the report's development and may view it as an opportunity to create a new agenda. The Digital Britain report may be a basis of such an agenda.
At the same time, one should be aware of the EU's "water bed effect," i.e., that initiatives by one nation may bring countervailing movements or initiatives in other parts of the EU. For example, some nations are developing new or alternative proposals on P2p following the French moves in that area.
Many view the implementation and delivery plan detailed in Chapter 9 as the key section of the Digital Britain report. That a government report (white paper) focuses on detailed implementation is interesting on a number of levels. It indicates a government willing to move from macro economic policy to micro economic policy to deliver economic outcomes — i.e. it's more interventionist than is customary in these areas. It also recognises that detailed intervention is required to ensure law and order and balance among the various stakeholders.
In effect, the government is creating a new economic sector comprised of old industrial silos which it will now nurture and govern in the round. It is creating a new government agency to do this. Media, telecoms, content, IT, etc., are being addressed as a single industrial sector. This may make it easier to address copyright and technology issues. But of course the laws and regulations have to move on to the statute books, and in that sense it's an uncertain path forward. Nevertheless, the ambition is clear.
