Across the Former Soviet Union Russian or Estonian? Language Signals Rift in Estonian Community
See Original Daily Bulletin From This Date
Parents are pulling their kids out of the Tallinn Jewish School, but not because they don't want them learning about their Jewish heritage. And it's not because it's expensive — the school, which teaches Hebrew and Jewish history alongside secular courses to students in grades 1-12, receives municipal funding as part of the government's subsidy for cultural minority education.
No, parents say they're pulling their kids because they don't want them studying in Russian, the language of the hated Soviet overlords.
When the Tallinn Jewish School opened in 1990 in this former Soviet republic, 350 children enrolled for the first year, more than 10 percent of the 3,000 Jews living in the country. This year just 200 children are enrolled, down from last year's class of 250.
Marina Karboinova, the school's vice principal, says only that it's "possible" the recent drop in enrollment is a result of the school's language orientation. But the issue highlights a growing rift within Estonian Jewry that pits Russian speakers against native speakers of the local language.
As in many other former Soviet republics, Estonia's Jewish community is split along linguistic lines. No official statistics are available, but approximately one third of the Jewish population are descendants of Estonian-speaking Jews who began arriving in the country during the 19th century.
The other two thirds arrived during Soviet rule, between 1940 and 1990; they're not only relative newcomers, but Russian-speaking ones.
Because the Tallinn Jewish School holds classes exclusively in Russian, "most Estonian-speaking Jews do not send their children there," said Elhonen Saks, author of a number of Estonian-language books on Jewish subjects.
More and more Estonian Jewish parents are sending their children to secular Estonian schools instead. As a result, these children may be missing out on the basics of a Jewish education.
School and community officials are worried about the drop in enrollment.
"It is a problem that the school is trying to solve," said Jevgeni Plink, a member of the school's board of trustees. "We are trying to develop a new educational program to attract and retain more Jewish students."
The school's dwindling numbers may affect other areas of Jewish life in Estonia, as the school is the main recruitment ground for local Jewish youth organizations. According to counselors from youth clubs sponsored by the Joint Distribution Committee and the Jewish Agency for Israel, the majority of those who take part in the clubs' activities come from Russian-speaking families.
"This is a major problem for the Jewish community," said Chabad Rabbi Shmuel Kot, 28, Estonia's only resident rabbi. "We need to give language skills to students that will enable them to find a job or receive higher education in Estonia."
Kot believes the Jewish school needs to offer more classes in Estonian, thereby attracting and keeping youth in Estonia and within the Jewish community.
But reforming the school may not be enough to draw youth to Jewish life.
In a time of heightened Estonian nationalism and a resurgence of Estonian-language use among the general population, it might seem problematic for the country's Jewish community to cling to its Russian-language identity.
The name plaques at Dor va Dor, Tallinn's Jewish center, are in Estonian, but the center's day-to-day operations and paperwork are conducted in Russian. The center's newspaper, Hashahar, is printed in Russian, and its Web site, www.jewish.ee, has yet to publish an Estonian version.
Though anti-Soviet sentiment abounds in this new European Union member-state, the Jewish Community Center's veterans' club still celebrates May 9, a Soviet-era holiday marking the official German surrender to the Red Army.
May 9 is officially celebrated in Russia and some other former Soviet republics, but not in any of the Baltic states, including Estonia. The fact that it's celebrated at the JCC may exacerbate the community's outsider status, critics fear.
Cilja Laud, chairwoman of the Jewish Community of Estonia, explained that the JCC's language and cultural practices merely reflect the demographic makeup of those who use it.
"We'd celebrate the Estonian Day of Independence if enough people wanted it," Laud said.
But they apparently do not, as the majority of JCC members are pensioners who benefit from the center's social and welfare programs. They're older, more used to Soviet ways and — more often than not — are of non-Estonian origin.
"Estonian Jews are better integrated into Estonian society — they do not need the help of the Jewish community," school trustee Plink speculated. Unlike the Jews who came to Estonia during the Soviet period, the native Estonian Jews already had well-established social networks and didn't need the community's help to integrate into the fabric of the country.
Though Estonian citizenship requires knowledge of the Estonian language, many members of the Jewish community — some of whom have lived their entire lives in Estonia — do not see a need to learn it. That view isn't restricted to pensioners.
"Why do I need to learn Estonian?" asks Anna Azovtseva, a student at the Jewish school. Having grown up in a Russian-language family and surrounded by Russian-speaking friends, she isn't interested in mastering Estonian.
"I know I will need it to get a job here, but tell me, how many people in the world speak Estonian?" she said. "I'd rather know English, it is more useful."
Paradoxically, Jewish organizations' efforts to strengthen connections between Jewish communities in the Baltic region may further reinforce the Estonian Jewish community's Russian-language inclination.
Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia all have a high percentage of Jews who settled in the countries during the 50 years of Communist rule — and Russian is the language they share.

Q: Images Processing/JavaScript I am trying to write a javascript program that modifies  an image by putting three vertical stripes on it. A red stripe on the left one third, a green stripe in the middle and a blue stripe on the right one third.
Here is the algorithm that i am trying to implement:
1. Start with the image you want to change.

*Figure out the width of the image.

*For each pixel in the image:
Get the x-coordinate for that pixel
If the pixel's x-coordinate is less than one-third of the image's width, set the pixel's red value to 255.
If the pixel's x-coordinate is between one-third and two-thirds of the image's width, set the pixel's green value to 255.
If the pixel's x-coordinate is more than two-thirds of the image's width, set the pixel's blue value to 255.

*Print the image.
var MyImage = new SimpleImage("hilton.jpg");
var ImgWidth = MyImage.getWidth();

for (var pix of MyImage.values()){
    var Xcoordinate = pix.getX();
    var Ycoordinate = pix.getY();
    if (Xcoordinate < ImgWidth/3){
        pix.setRed(255);
    }

    else if (ImgWidth/3< Xcoordinate < ImgWidth/2){
        pix.setGreen(255);
    }

    else{
        Xcoordinate > ImgWidth/3;
        pix.setBlue(255);
    }
}
print(MyImage);

The red strip is coming out as expected but the green stripe is occupying the rest of the image and the blue doesn't appear at all. No error message.

A: I think your test for the green strip doesn't do what you want it to:
ImgWidth/3< Xcoordinate < ImgWidth/2

You can't chain the boolean operators that way. Probably it should be:
ImgWidth / 3 < Xcoordinate && Xcoordinate < ImgWidth / 2

Also this line is redundant:
Xcoordinate > ImgWidth/3;

You are not assigning the result to any variable.

A: Thanks very much to SkilGG. I just reviewed my test for the green strip and deleted the redundant line in the else clause. Came up with those lines and my code is now working.
    var MyImage = new
    SimpleImage("hilton.jpg");
    var ImgWidth = MyImage.getWidth();

    for (var pix of MyImage.values()){
        var Xcoordinate = pix.getX();
        if (Xcoordinate < ImgWidth/3){
            pix.setRed(255);
        }

        else if (Xcoordinate < 2*ImgWidth/3){
            pix.setGreen(255);
        }

        else{
            pix.setBlue(255);
        }
    }
    print(MyImage);

Florida Adult and Teen Smoking Rates Hit Record Low
By Florida Department of Health, Office of Communications
NewsMedia@flhealth.gov
Tallahassee, Fla.—Ten years ago this month, Floridians voted overwhelmingly in support of a state constitutional amendment to fund a tobacco education and use prevention program, now known as Tobacco Free Florida. The program has resulted in a significant decrease in smoking rates among both adults and teens in the state, leading to billions of dollars and countless lives saved.
"With voter support, this program was launched a decade ago and Tobacco Free Florida has had a tremendous impact on improving the health of Floridians," said State Surgeon General and Secretary Dr. Celeste Philip. "While Tobacco Free Florida is a national leader in tobacco control, there is still more work to be done. The tobacco industry is constantly finding new ways to target vulnerable populations, and more of our youth are experimenting with a range of new options rather than using traditional products such as cigarettes."
In 2006, the smoking rate was flattening and the state was spending billions of dollars on health care costs.1,2 Further, Florida was receiving money from its lawsuit settlement with tobacco companies, but only a small percentage was being spent on a tobacco control program. By mandating the creation of Tobacco Free Florida, Florida voters ensured that a comprehensive program benefitting Floridians' health and the state's finances would be funded by 15 percent of the annual settlement amount – not taxpayer dollars.
Tobacco Free Florida's beneficial impact is proven in numbers:
In 2006, the adult smoking rate was 21 percent. In 2016, it stands at 15.8 percent – the lowest it has ever been.3,4
Fewer young people have started smoking since Tobacco Free Florida was created. The youth smoking rate has decreased from 10.6 percent in 2006 to 3 percent in 2015 – an astounding 71 percent decrease.5,6
The program has saved the state $3.2 billion in health care costs. Annual smoking- related health care costs in Florida decreased 15 percent from 2006 to 2015 as a result of fewer adults smoking.7
Since Tobacco Free Florida's hard-hitting advertising launched, quit attempts across the state have increased and the campaign has been linked to reducing relapses among those who quit. Exposure to the program's message has also caused positive shifts in smokers' attitudes towards quitting.8
Over the past 10 years, Tobacco Free Florida has helped more than 159,000 Floridians quit tobacco. While the program has made remarkable progress, smoking remains the leading
cause of preventable disease and death9 and 7,400 Floridians continue to become daily smokers each year.10
Tobacco Free Florida's new Quit Your Way program makes it easier than ever for tobacco users to access free tools and services to help them quit. For more information to quit tobacco or help a loved one quit, visit tobaccofreeflorida.com/quityourway.

The PUNCH reliably gathered in Abuja that the Federal Government was ready to pay the outstanding salary arrears of ASUU members.
It was learnt that the government also reached an understanding with the union to pay the lecturers 'salaries as a precondition to suspending the strike.
When asked by one of our correspondents if the government indeed accepted to pay the salary arrears of the lecturers, Wike replied, "What is your problem? Has ASUU told you they have a problem with that?
The National Vice-president of ASUU, Mr. Biodun Ogunyemi, who was sighted at the NUC office in Abuja, refused to comment on the issue.
But The PUNCH gathered that both parties decided to be silent on the issue because of the controversy the decision of the government to withhold the salaries generated.
The Federal Government, in a statement, reiterated its commitment to implementing all the items contained in the agreement with ASUU.
In the statement by Nwakaudu, the government said that investing N1.3tn (including the N200bn already released for this year) in infrastructure in the public universities in the next six years would transform them into international centres of excellence.


Moving is a great way to start your life anew, but it does not mean that the entire procedure does not include a great deal of pressure and stress along with it. Here, it is one of those things that is best left to professional Local Moving Companies since they have the expertise, know-how and equipment to make the whole ordeal less stressful and demanding.
When you do the move, the very first thing you ought to consider would be your furniture and how you intend to go about moving it. It is important that in the very first instance that you plan to move, you need to implement a scheduled framework and follow your agenda down to a T so you can stay ahead of your moving schedule. At that point, for you to ensure that all your plans are met in accordance with the time and date intended, you have to ensure that you already prepared in advance by contacting Local Moving Companies already. Your home will definitely have some unintended clutter accumulated over the years of living there, so it is important for you to declutter and wipe out the mess or unnecessary items in your belongings if you no longer really need it at all. By moving and leaving behind the unnecessary clutter in your life, this will be the ideal opportunity to unburden yourself and also get a relatively cheaper quote from your Local Moving Companies once you let them know that you will only bring along the essentials on the trip. You should make sure that you only go for a reliable and trustworthy moving company since there is always the possibility of ending up with someone who will not prepare, sort out, mark or even extend the kind of help and assurance that clients like yourself, are looking for.
However, even with all the hullaballoo happening in the move, it is important that you keep a level head and well-accounted details of all your belongings – this implies that you should have a list of the items you own as well as the ones you have entrusted for transport to your chosen Local Moving Companies so you can be sure that you are definitely on top of things. Keeping a level head is easy as long as you are willing to go the extra mile to keep the entire move stress-free.
In this manner, as long as you are willing to put in the effort and attention the whole moving thing calls for, it would be easy for you to accomplish this in your whole moving commitment.

Trigger point injections target trigger points or hyperirritable spots in the fascia surrounding the skeletal muscle. They are associated with tight bands of muscle fibers. The injections provide prompt pain relief of symptoms from myofascial pain syndrome.
Your clinician may have ordered these injections if you have symptoms such as shoulder pain, neck pain, tension headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, or decreased range or motion among other symptoms.
You will be asked to either sit up or lie down on the exam table. The clinician will cleanse the injection site. Once the clinician isolates the point of injection, the needle is inserted 1 to 2 cm away from the trigger point so that the needle may be advanced into the trigger point at an acute angle of 30 degrees to the skin. You will feel a slight sting from the medication and pressure. It will last for a few seconds with no down time needed.
You may resume regular daily activities. You may experience soreness around the injection site. This is normal and could last 1-2 days. If the pain lasts longer than 4 days, please contact our office for further assistance.


Want to see what it looks like to high jump 8ft? This past weekend Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim did just that becoming the #2 high jumper of all time. Watch the determination and focus he shows in order to win the competition.
Barshim was not the only high jumper in the field last weekend. 2013 World champ Bohdan Bondarenko from the Ukraine had cleared 7 ft 10" earlier in the meet. With no one else left in the field, whoever won would also win the IAAF Diamond League title for the 2014 season. Barshim cleared 7ft 11.75"on his first attempt which gave him the lead and placed him #2 on the all-time high jump list. The only way Bondarenko could win would be to clear the next height before Barshim. The only problem for both of them was the next height was a new world record of 8ft.
Barshim took some good jumps at 8 feet but missed all three. Bondarenko missed both of his attempts at the world record and had to settle for second. Without a doubt, this was the greatest HJ competition in the history of the sport.
I found Barshim's interview after the meet very interesting. Barshim said, "In a competition like today, you don't have the world record on your mind. You just want to win, you want to beat your opponent; you don't care what the height is."
I love this quote! It's a great look inside of an elite competitors mind. Too often we think here at Mountain Vista that we are going to have success just because we train a lot. Training is important, but unless you are willing to compete all of the tempos, mileage, long runs and hard workouts in the world won't make a difference. What is equally important to training is an ability to compete.
The belief that training alone will make you faster than everyone else is false. In fact, I find the opposite to be true. The more you train the harder you have to push yourself in competitions in order to be the best. Training will give you a chance to go out and be competitive, but you also have to have a burning desire out perform everyone else. Once you have the combination of work ethic and and a competitive edge over others some amazing things can start to happen.
What should being comptitive feel like when you run? Try this scenario to help you out. What is the one thing in your life that you consider to be your "prized possession"? It doesn't matter what it is, just something that you would never want to part with. Something so important to you that you would be willing to fight for it if someone else tried to take if from you. Then imagine what you would do if somebody else actually did try to take it from you. How hard would you fight for your "prized possession"? Would you just let it go, or would you fight back with all of your might to make sure it wasn't taken away?
This is what competing in a race should feel like and it can give you a real edge on the competition. Think of your individual goals and our team goals as "prized possessions". Athletes on other teams are trying to take these "prized possessions" from you every time we race. How hard are you willing to fight in a competition? Will you let others take your "prized possessions", or will you try to protect them?
Want to see what being a competitor looks like in a distance race? Check this video out from last years 2013 Great North Run. A 13.1 half-marathon race that is held every year in England and contested by some of the worlds best distance athletes. In 2013 marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie (2:03:59), 5K/10K world record holder Kenenisa Bekele (12:37/26:17), and 2012 5K/10K Olympic Champion Mo Farah were all competing for the win with less than a mile to go. Watch how badly all 3 men want the victory and how hard they are willing to fight for it. This is one of the best examples of competing in a distance race I have ever seen. The winning time of 1 hour comes out to a pace of 4:33 a mile. The final 400 meters was run in just over 50 seconds!
In order to view most of the articles, pictures, videos, etc. that I send out each week you will have to purchase a subscription through co.milesplit.com. It is worth it! Colorado Track/XC (aka milesplit) is our main publicity site for all things XC and Track across the state. Every time an athlete runs a race where they are electronically timed or mentioned in an article it uploads to their individual athlete profile. This includes JV and Open runners.
Alan Versaw, who coaches at The Classical Academy runs the site. Everyday Coach Versaw posts 2 to 3 articles related to Colorado XC and track. A subscription will set you back $4 a month. Your $4 will also allow you access to content on the other 49 milesplit sites across the country from other states. In my opinion, more than worth the cost!
Varsity results and video from the meet have been posted on Milesplit. The meet should also be covered in the week-in-review article that will probably go up on Monday evening sometime.
When: Friday, Sept 12th starting at 3:30 p.m.
Who: All Vista Nation XC athletes. If you are not racing you are still invited to attend the meet and get your run in at the course before the races start.
Transportation: Athletes are out of class at 1:00. There are 2 busses leaving for Adams County Fairgrounds at 1:15. There is 1 bus returning after the meet. Athletes are welcome to ride home with their parents.

My name is Lauri Karjunen. I'm 34 years old and I'm from Joensuu, in North Karelia region. Today I live in Hamina, a city in Kymenlaakso region, with my wife and son. I work in the Finnish coast guard, so I'm not really a professional bladesmith.
On my father's side, my great-uncle was a professional blacksmith in village Ii, about 35km north of Oulu. I believe he has been the only professional smith in the "close history" of my family.
On the other hand, the old puukkos shown below were made very close to my mother's homeplace, near Koli, a village in North Karelia, by my grand mother's cousin's husband's father.
I have always been interested in Puukkos. My first memories about them is at a very young age when I was learning whittling with my dad. The puukko has always been part of my hobbies, hunting, fishing and so on. My first puukos were Marttiini and Iisakki Järvenpää factory made ones and they worked well enough. It was 2008 when I decided to order my first custom puukko from bladesmith Mikko Inkeroinen, a Tommi. It was and still is a very good utility puukko, but I was very impressed also of how beautiful it was. Materials, lines and sheath were totally different compared to my older puukkos. I remember that I was thinking how great would have been to have that kind of craftsman skills. I would say that I am half selftaught, but I've been lucky enough not to learn everything the hard way. In the beginning there have been few older guys who taught me some basic techniques for forging and heat treatments. If I have to name one, it would be bladesmith Tapani Eskola. But learning takes a lot of time and plenty of repeats to get good results. Internet is also very helpful in these days.
My favorite puukko model is the Tommi puukko. I like to use the same kind of lines in my works too. Rautalamminpuukko is the most beautiful and Kokemäenpuukko is the most fun to make. Sami knives are also something I would like to learn more about.
I get my inspiration from nature and my other hobbies. If I wouldn´t hunt or be interested in the outdoors, I would never have started knife making: I see that these activities are strongly linked to each other. If I would make knies for money, I think I couldn't enjoy it in the same way. I don´t have any special goal as a knife maker, I just want to improve my skills as a bladesmith. There is a lot of techniques that I would like to learn. Maybe in the future I will do also some different styles of knives.
In Kymenlaakso region where I live there isn't a particular historical puukko model which is widely known, but at the present time puukko culture is strong and there are lots of hobbyist makers here.
There isn't any particular known puukko model also in Northern Karelia region where I am from; if I have to name a model as Northern Karelia "maakuntapuukko", it would be "Karjalan kaiku" puukko from Ilomantsi. It was originally made by Lauri Huurre in -50 (not sure about that year). After him, his son Mauri continued making this model. They are now both passed away but Urpo Parviainen has kept making that model in Ilomantsi.
My other hobbies are, as I earlier mentioned, hunting and generally the outdoors. Being in the forest or near a bog in an autumn morning is absolutely one of my favorite things. Easily better than knife making.
Right now most of my spare time is spent at our home or cabin with my wife and 6 month old son.

Book 35 Bridge of Birds
September 18, 2019Book Blog
Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart fulfilled the "Book I Think Should Be Turned into a Movie" category of the PopSugar 2019 Reading Challenge. If you haven't read Barry Hughart, go now.
Bridge of Birds is a self-proclaimed "history of ancient China that never was." I'm not a historian and do not know who much Mr. Hughart made up, researched, or reinvented for the book, but it is a masterful historical comedy.
It's a comedy.
The author mixes pseudo-history with mysticism, ritual, and humor to create two unforgettable characters on an extensive, danger fraught adventure. Meet Number 10 Ox, an extra-large teen with a great heart and Master Li, a man with a small flaw in his character. The two run all over China to save the children of Number 10 Ox's village. I cannot think of a better story for a movie.
Hubby introduced me to the book back at the turn of the century. (Can we say that yet?) In fact, Hubby gave me many books when we first got together, Snow Crash, The Uplift War, Lord Foul's Ban, and more. I gave him some too, but he's still never read Pride and Prejudice. Anyway, he recommended all of Mr. Hughart's novels as I love fantasy stories. Each was wonderful. And who can't love a guy who gives you books?
So, why would this book make a great movie? First, I would have a strong caution to my movie producers: Cut the stereotypes.
I don't think Mr. Hughart has too many stereotypes in the book. He runs through a variety of characters in the story. The women end up being shrewish, fat women, perfect maidens, or respectable wives. But the story was published in 1984, so I can kinda give them a pass on that, maybe. But to make it workable with today's audience, they'd need to have the plethora of personalities from the novel.
Next, the adventure. Number 10 Ox and Master Li crisscross China. Could you imagine the background landscapes for such a film? The scenery alone would make the story worth seeing. The men venture out from Number 10 Ox's village four or five times to find the magic ginseng root they seek. Think Indiana Jones, fewer spiders, more comedy, a larger purpose. Who doesn't love a quest movie?
Also, the humor. The language of the book is laugh-out-loud. Most of the time it's Master Li's comments, the old con artist. "Error can point the way to truth, while empty-headedness can only lead to more empty-headedness or to a career in politics." And "Immortality is only for the gods…I wonder how they can stand it."
Lastly, the casting. I tingle with anticipation of the cast for the movie. I could see Jackie Chan as Master Li, owning the role. And perhaps Shao-Wen-Ho would be my Number 10 Ox. (He has the look though I'm not familiar with his work.) Or Jacob Batalon (Spiderman), but he's Hawaiian, not Chinese. Then we'd need parts for people like Jet Li, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung (Henpecked Ho or Miser Shen) and Andy Lau. I could see Zhang Ziya (Memoirs of a Geisha, Godzilla) as Lotus Cloud (squee). I love John Cho too. He's an amazing actor, but not Chinese either. if the producers and audience are game, we could cast other Asian actors, but I kinda see the movie like Harry Potter where everyone (just about) was British.
I hope someday to see Bridge of Birds in the theater.
I give the book 5 pieces of Jade and 5 pearls.

When comparing the most commonly purchased memory enhancers, Forskolin supplements don't get a lot of press.
This relatively obscure natural extract has been in wide use as a traditional Indian cure-all for millennia, but it wasn't until recently that its use as a memory boosting nootropic became fashionable.
Most people in the nootropic community have heard of CILTEP, the popular "memory pill" that boosts long-term memory formation. The plant-based Forskolin is one of two key ingredients which create CILTEP's famous memory effects.
Let's get up to speed with how Forskolin supplements work, and why it should be at the top of everyone's list for cognitive improvement. Read on for Forskolin chemistry, benefits, dosages, side effects, and popular nootropic stacks.
Similar in structure to Vitamin A and retinol, Forskolin is classified as a labdane diterpene.
These compounds are known to possess excellent skin healing and anti-aging properties.
Forskolin is the main active compound in the Coleus Forskohlii plant found in India, Burma, and other parts of Southeast Asia. The plant has long been used as a folk remedy for healing wounds and preventing inflammation in the body.
After thousands of years of informal use, modern science began examining Forskolin's pharmacological properties over the last few decades. Today, Forskolin supplements are primarily known for weight loss and cognitive effects, and are frequently mentioned as one of the top natural memory enhancers.
Forskolin's effects begin with the stimulation of the ATP enzyme adenylate cyclase. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, plays a huge role in cell metabolism. Forskolin activates adenylate cyclase which promotes the production of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate, also known as cAMP.
Why is cAMP important for memory formation? cAMP is the chemical link which instructs brain cells to transform short term memories into long term memories. We call this process Long Term Potentiation (LTP), and taking a Forskolin supplement may activate this process at a higher rate. The brain already has hormonal processes in place which support LTP, but taking Forskolin is believed to accelerate the mechanism and make long term memory formation easier.
Next, Forskolin assists in keeping a steady supply of oxygen to the brain by opening blood vessels so that more oxygen and nutrient-rich blood may enter. This action is called vasodilation.
Neural tissue needs oxygen in order to thrive. Excellent blood flow leads to higher rates of neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, it also gives the user the sense of a very clear mind with heightened focus and sharp thoughts. When combined with other memory enhancers, the total effect of Forskolin supplements can provide dramatic cognitive enhancement for brain hackers.
The nootropic benefits of Forskolin supplements can be extremely useful for any types of activities that require comprehension and retention of large amounts of information. This might include the intense intellectual demands which students face – especially when studying for professional exams such as the LSAT or MCAT.
It is also used in various other business settings which hinge upon understanding complex facts and data, such as finance, computer programming, or engineering/design.
Forskolin also has applications in social settings – the ability to learn, retain, and adapt to the dynamics of complex social interactions is key to overcoming social anxiety and excelling in life. While many people take Forskolin pills in preparation for a large exam or work deadline, daily supplementation can provide a general boost to broad mental performance throughout each day.
The research around Forskolin supplements is promising, however it is limited, and more research is needed. At this time, the FDA has not approed Forskolin as a drug to prevent or treat any conditions, and it is available in the USA as a dietary supplement only.
Are Side Effects An Issue?
Forskolin supplements are contraindicated with all blood pressure medicines, alpha and beta blockers, and blood thinners. Other than those conflicts, for most people this natural remedy is largely side effect free and very to tolerate as a daily supplement. This supplement works best over a period of days or weeks, as its effects build up in the body.
Some people have noted that any supplements containing Forskolin can cause drowsiness or fatigue initially. That's why most users recommend that these supplements are best taken in the evening. Normal wakefulness will not be impacted the next day. Mental clarity and memory formation should continue to improve over time.
To maximize Forskolin benefits, it is generally recommended to take it in combination with Artichoke Extract dietary supplements.
This all-natural compound boosts the efficacy of Forskolin's cAMP memory effects by inhibiting PDE-4 (Phosphodiesterase-4). This is a substance which blocks the role of cAMP if left unchecked.
According to user reviews the best ratio of dosages to achieve the most harmonious effects of this combination is 20 mg of Forskolin, combined with 900 mg of Artichoke extract per day. This is a general guideline only, and your personal dosage may be different.
As this type of supplementation builds over time and is not intended to achieve full benefits off of a single dose, there is nothing to be gained by exceeding the recommended dosage. At extreme doses, Forskolin may exhibit excessively tranquilizing qualities.
It is always recommended that you speak with your doctor to determine the best dosage for your needs, and determine if there may be any negative interactions with any supplements or medications you are currently taking.
Together, Artichoke extract and Forskolin supplements synergistically fuel dramatic cognitive boosts. For this reason, they were paired in the CILTEP combo stack, one of the more popular nootropics for the enhancement of memory and mental focus. You can buy Forskolin supplements online in single-ingredient formulations or you can purchase CILTEP which includes other brain-boosting ingredients as well.

Dr. Jameson was born and raised in New Jersey, and graduated from Syracuse University in 1984 with a Bachelor in Science in Biology. After graduating from Syracuse, he went on to Chiropractic College at Los Angeles Chiropractic College in Whittier, California. He graduated with honors in December of 1988.
Dr. Jameson went on to work in New Jersey at a large personal injury practice for one year. He then decided to move back to California. Along with his wife, Dr. Laurie Gossett, he established Bayshore Chiropractic of Hayward, and practiced at their Harder Road location for 4½ years. They then moved their practice to Castro Valley in March of 1995.
Dr. Jameson has authored numerous articles on repetitive strain injuries for newsletters, on-line magazines, and music related web sites, and specializes in the treatment of repetitive strain injuries in computer users, laborers, and musicians. His first book was published entitled: Repetitive Strain Injuries: The Complete Guide to Alternative Treatments and Prevention. This book was published in April of 1998. His second book was published in 2009 entitled: Reach For the Top: The Musician's Guide to Health, Wealth, and Success.
Dr. Jameson authors an award winning website entitled "Musician's Health" that addresses all issues of musician's health, including playing techniques, nutritional topics, postural suggestions, guest columnists, and featured artist interviews. Visit this exciting page at www.musicianshealth.com. Dr. Jameson is also the director and developer of the Chiropractic Performing Arts Network. This is an international group of chiropractors who desire to bring injury prevention and healing to performing artists.
Dr. Jameson also specializes in the care of the pediatric population. He has mastered unique techniques for gentle spinal and cranial work for children. You will find many infants and children in our practice. It's baby friendly! Read more information about chiropractic for children.
Dr. Jameson enjoys playing guitar and piano and as a worship pastor at his church, Christ's Community Church, located in Hayward, CA. (You can see him rocking out with his band at www.ccchayward.com on the "Media" page). He also enjoys working with stained glass and photography and taking long hikes.
Dr. Gossett is a native of Hayward, and attended Hayward High. Following high school she went on to California State - Long Beach, originally majoring in physical therapy. She received a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology.
She went on to Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in Whittier, CA, and graduated in April of 1989.
While attending Cal-State Long Beach and LACC, Dr. Gossett worked at Western Medical Center as a physical therapy aide. During her 7 years working at this facility, she specialized in wound treatment and facilitated rehabilitation care of burn patients.
After graduating from Chiropractic College, Dr. Gossett practiced chiropractic for 1½ years at Oakbay Chiropractic in Oakland with Dr. Jan Corwin, who was the United States chiropractor for the Seoul Summer Olympic team. She gained a new insight into the important role of chiropractic and sports injuries during her clinical experience at Oakbay.
Dr. Gossett continued her post-graduate education along with Dr. Jameson by completing the 300-hour program in sports injuries.
In November of 2001, Dr. Gossett received her Diplomate in Pediatrics degree. This is a postgraduate degree that is earned after 300 hours of classroom study, and many hours of practical study. She has already had an article published in the Journal of Chiropractic Pediatrics on the subject of "Rett Syndrome and Chiropractic Care: A Case Study"
In her spare time, Dr. Gossett loves to perform in local community theaters. She has performed in musicals such as "Aida," "Oliver," and "The Sound of Music" to name just a few. She also works part time at the Douglas Morrison Theater in Hayward as assistant box office manager. She also loves crocheting as a hobby.


Autism is a word that has been around for a relatively short time in our history, but one that we've become more familiar with in recent decades. You've probably heard the statistics: it is the fastest growing developmental disability, 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it is more commonly diagnosed in boys than girls.
But the statistics surrounding adults on the spectrum are even grimmer. In most cases, the services provided to children on the spectrum end once the individual turns 18. After that, sadly, the vast majority of young adults fall through the cracks once they leave high school. Sure, there are plenty of individuals with the skills and the means to go on to post-secondary schooling, but what about their peers who are unable to do so, for one reason or another? The data shows that those young adults become the majority: part of the 90% of young adults with autism that are either unemployed or underemployed.
While we've come a long way as a society from the days of institutionalization, there is still a large misunderstanding of autism and what people living with ASD can and cannot do. An individual with autism could be the most intelligent person you've ever met, but their struggle with communication and reading social cues would make a successful interview nearly impossible, and you might find them working a minimum wage job. The stigma surrounding this diagnosis is still very real.
This is where we come in: Make I.T. SOAR is an initiative aimed at combating this stigma by employing high-functioning individuals with autism within the Information Technology industry. Many individuals on the spectrum have a natural affinity for technology and the ability to pay close attention to detail, making them a perfect fit for I.T. positions. Not only does this give them a sense of purpose to be doing meaningful work, but it also gives them daily opportunities for social interactions, which is something most individuals on the spectrum struggle with.
Many companies, such as Microsoft and SAP, have also embraced this movement of "neurodiversity" by implementing their own unique autism hiring initiatives. This was done not to combat autistic unemployment, but because they noticed that adults with autism can be exceptional employees and drive innovation when provided the right structure, mentorship, and on-boarding.
"Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences like autism and ADHD are the result of normal, natural variation in the human genome," John Elder Robison, a scholar in residence and a cochair of the Neurodiversity Working Group at the College of William & Mary.
Based out of Appleton, Wisconsin, Make I.T. SOAR is an offshoot of parent organization SOAR Fox Cities, Inc., formerly The Arc Fox Cities, Inc. The idea for this up and coming business was born in the Fall of 2015, when the then-Director of SOAR Fox Cities, Inc. saw a great need for meaningful employment for this community of individuals. She recognized the skills possessed by this population and noticed how they aligned with those necessary to thrive in the I.T. field. Cut to the Summer of 2016, and Make I.T. SOAR was up and running, complete with a Program Director, an Autism Specialist, and five eager Technicians. Unforeseen changes came shortly thereafter, bringing in an entirely new team of managers.
This transition period was not easy, but it lead us in a new direction into the growing area of Cybersecurity, or ethical hacking, where we focus on web-application vulnerability and penetration testing solutions for companies of all sizes.
"Cybersecurity Ventures predicts there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021, up from 1 million openings in 2014." The tech industry will be searching for new solutions to fill the increasing labor shortage of cybersecurity professionals.
Currently, Make I.T. SOAR is made up of seven team members, with plans to expand in the coming year. Some neat details about the team: two team members met on site, fell in love, and got married in August of 2017. They have all taken on roles for which they were not originally hired for, but have developed strengths in. Make I.T. SOAR was recognized by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce with the Small Business Company Innovation Award in 2017. The mission of empowering people with differing abilities is in full swing and growing every day.

Excellent film! I really enjoyed that. It's definitely one of the best Rathbone Holmes films, being a successful blend of adventure, horror and detective story.
If you don't care about Sherlock Holmes, it's great. You have an interesting, twisty plot with memorable villains and one of Universal's more disturbing horror icons in the Creeper. He's played by Rondo Hatton, who happened to walk on to a studio set one day in 1930 and was instantly given a role on the basis of his appearance. He never regarded himself as an actor, but that's not why they hired him. The poor chap had apparently been quite handsome in his youth, but when serving in France in World War One he was caught in a poison gas attack. At some point after that he developed acromegaly, a bone disease that's more commonly caused by a tumour on the pituitary gland and causes deformity of the head, hands and feet. Playing the Creeper was Hatton's big breakthrough, comparatively speaking. As it happened he died in 1945, but not before he'd lurched through a number of Universal horror movies, two of which were sequels to The Pearl of Death.
Needless to say, he's one of the most memorable things about the film. He's kept mostly offscreen, but there's no mistaking the effect he has on the other characters. Evelyn Ankers's Naomi is actually afraid of him. It's like having Frankenstein's Monster in the movie. He's what makes the movie's climax so memorable, if you can stomach the political incorrectness of using him as such in the first place.
Needless to say, we have a memorable trio of villains here. Evelyn Ankers was a veteran of this series and of Universal's horror films as well, not to mention being one of my favourite actresses in the series. Then the last baddie is Miles Mander, who'd also played Judge Brisson in The Scarlet Claw in the same year and is perfectly okay. You wouldn't watch the film for him, but he does a perfectly acceptable job and makes a suitable foil for Rathbone. Oddly his character, Miles Conover, is described by Holmes in dialogue taken from The Final Problem, making him sound like another Moriarty. He's not, of course. He's more likely than the Professor to get his hands dirty, for a start.
All that said, this is also a surprisingly good showcase for the Great Detective. It's an adaptation of The Six Napoleons. Universal would adapt that story again two years later in Dressed to Kill, but oddly enough the two films complement each other. Dressed to Kill reminds me more of Conan Doyle, while this film is more exciting and dramatic. We start with a double-cross and the theft of the Borgia pearl, after which Holmes gets the thing safely to a museum only to be entirely to blame for its being stolen for a second time! It's rather refreshing. Fortunately his mistake isn't due to stupidity but the exact opposite, in that he's realised something no one else has and is essentially showing off. Unsurprisingly this causes him to take the matter personally, although I noticed that he seemed remarkably unconcerned about his mistake eventually having caused five deaths.
On top of that, we get to see Holmes doing some actual detection. He trails the pearl from pillar to post, pulling off some neat tricks along the way. His telephone impersonation is an ingenious bit of improvisation, while I like the way it's hard work even for him to deduce that the killer was smashing Napoleon busts. In the original story, Beppo doesn't try to hide what he's after. Here, the Creeper's been instructed to smash every last piece of crockery in the room as a blind and Holmes has to get it all sent to 221B Baker Street so he can sift through and reconstruct how things were in the beginning. I loved all that.
Nigel Bruce's Watson is a bit too much of a clown even for me, but I liked his hiding place for the pearl. There's also a lot of dressing up in the film, not just for Rathbone but also Ankers and even Mander. I liked that too. Disguises are good. I also admired the elegance of Holmes's demonstration of how Conover hid the pearl in the bust, which simply and completely gets across everything we need to know. He gets Watson to act it out.
I don't see why Holmes left the detection of Conover's secret message to Lestrade, though. If he'd stepped in personally, he could have caught Evelyn Ankers red-handed in the police kitchens, thus saving five lives and ending the film inside half an hour.
This film is larger than life. The presence of the Creeper pushes it into the realm of Boris Karloff, lending an operatic quality that really serves the melodrama. There's even a macabre poetry to it. Holmes says Conover reeks of an "underground smell, the sick sweetness of decay," while the traditional pompous closing speech manages to be a bit more subtler than usual. Holmes is listing the crimes committed by greedy men in love with the Borgia pearl, but goes on to liken this to the lust for world domination and ends by expressing a hope that "perhaps even the pearl will be washed clean again." That's clever. It's another bit of wartime flag-waving, but for once done subtly.
You know, I think this might be my favourite Rathbone Holmes film. Ingenious detective work in an exciting, cleverly written story with a top-notch ending. How often have I used the word "clever" of this series? Or even "really satisfying"? Damn, it's good.

Q: How to Create a clickable map I'd like to take a map of california, chop it up into regions, and then allow the user to hover over those regions. When they click on the regions It would scroll them down the page to a specified point where they could read more info. How would I do this?

A: Just create an image and apply a map on it, like this:
<img src="planets.gif" width="145" height="126" alt="Planets" usemap="#planetmap">

<map name="planetmap">
  <area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="#sun" alt="Sun">
  <area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" href="#mercur" alt="Mercury">
  <area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" href="#venus" alt="Venus">
  <area shape="poly" coords="48,311,105,248,96,210,75,205,38,234,8,310" href="#anything" title="Anything">
</map>

A: For the map visualization you could use leaflet. For an example with map layers see: Leaflet chloropleth example.

A: Have you ever wondered using SVG based maps for this purpose?
A tool like www.makeaclickablemap.com for example.

Who will shape the future of the data society?
Credit: Shutterstock The contemporary world is held together by a vast and overlapping fabric of information systems. These information systems do not only tell us things about the world around us. They also play a central role in organising many different aspects of our lives. They are not only instruments of knowledge, but also engines of change. But what kind of change will they bring? Contemporary data infrastructures are the result of hundreds of years of work and thought. In charting the development of these infrastructures we can learn about the rise and fall not only of the different methods, technologies and standards implicated in the making of data, but also about the articulation of different kinds of social, political, economic and cultural worlds: different kinds of "data worlds".
Beyond the rows and columns of data tables, the development of data infrastructures tells tales of the emergence of the world economy and global institutions; different ways of classifying populations; different ways of managing finances and evaluating performance; different programmes to reform and restructure public institutions; and how all kinds of issues and concerns are rendered into quantitative portraits in relation to which progress can be charted – from gender equality to child mortality, biodiversity to broadband access, unemployment to urban ecology.
The transnational network that assembled last week in Madrid for the International Open Data Conference has the opportunity to play a significant role in shaping the future of these data worlds. Many of those who were present have made huge contributions towards an agenda of opening up datasets and developing capacities to use them. Thanks to these efforts there is now global momentum around open data amongst international organisations, national governments, local administrations and civil society groups – which will have an enduring impact on how data is made public.
Perhaps, around a decade after the first stirrings of interest in what we know know as "open data," it is time to have a broader conversation around not only the opening up and use of datasets, but also the making of data infrastructures: of what issues are rendered into data and how, and the kinds of dynamics of collective life that these infrastructures give rise to. How might we increase public deliberation around the calibration and direction of these engines of change?
Anyone involved with the creation of official data will be well aware that this is not a trivial proposition. Not least because of the huge amount of effort and expense that can be incurred in everything from developing standards, commissioning IT systems, organising consultation processes and running the social, technical and administrative systems which can be required to create and maintain even the smallest and simplest of datasets. Reshaping data worlds can be slow and painstaking work. But unless we instate processes to ensure alignment between data infrastructures and the concerns of their various publics, we risk sustaining systems which are at best disconnected from and at worst damaging towards those whom they are intended to benefit.
What might such social shaping of data infrastructures look like? Luckily there is no shortage of recent examples – from civil society groups campaigning for changes in existing information systems (such as advocacy around the UK's company register), to cases of citizen and civil society data leading to changes in official data collection practices, to the emergence of new tools and methods to work with, challenge and articulate alternatives to official data. Official data can also be augmented by "born digital" data derived from a variety of different platforms, sources and devices which can be creatively repurposed in the service of studying and securing progress around different issues.
While there is a great deal of experimentation with data infrastructures "in the wild", how might institutions learn from these initiatives in order to make public data infrastructures more responsive to their publics? How can we open up new spaces for participation and deliberation around official information systems at the same time as building on the processes and standards which have developed over decades to ensure the quality, integrity and comparability of official data? How might participatory design methods be applied to involve different publics in the making of public data? How might official data be layered with other "born digital" data sources to develop a richer picture around issues that matter? How do we develop the social, technical and methodological capacities required to enable more people to take part not just in using datasets, but also reshaping data worlds?
Addressing these questions will be crucial to the development of a new phase of the open data movement – from the opening up of datasets to the opening up of data infrastructures. Public institutions may find they have not only new users, but new potential contributors and collaborators as the sites where public data is made begin to multiply and extend outside of the public sector – raising new issues and challenges related to the design, governance and political economics of public information systems.
The development of new institutional processes, policies and practices to increase democratic engagement around data infrastructures may be more time consuming than some of the comparatively simpler steps that institutions can take to open up their datasets. But further work in this area is vital to secure progress on a wide range of issues – from tackling tax base erosion to tracking progress towards commitments made at the recent Paris climate negotiations.
As a modest contribution to advancing research and practice around these issues, a new initiative called the Public Data Lab is forming to convene researchers, institutions and civil society groups with an interest in the making of data infrastructures, as well as the development of capacities that are required for more people to not only take part in the data society, but also to more meaningfully participate in shaping its future.

Hambakseom or Hambakdo is an island in Yonan County, South Hwanghae, North Korea.

Background
The 1953 Armistice Agreement, which was signed by both North Korea and the United Nations Command (UNC), ended the Korean War and specified that all islands in former Hwanghae Province except the five islands including Yeonpyeong Island and Baengnyeong Island would remain under the control of the UNC and South Korea.

However, they did not agree on a maritime demarcation line, primarily because the UNC wanted to base it on  of territorial waters, while North Korea wanted to use .

The five islands were Yeonpyeong Island, Baengnyeongdo, Daecheongdo, Socheongdo and U Island. However, U Island was actually part of Ganghwa County since 1918. Also, South Korea is not a signatory of the 1953 Armistice Agreement.

In 1965, there was a clash in this island South Korean fishermen caught clams on the island. North Korea detained and eventually returned the fishermen. South Korea claimed that Hambakseom is a part of Ganghwa County.

South Korea registered Hambakseom to Tract index in 1978. Hambakseom was uninhabited until 2017. In 2019, South Korean newspaper noticed that there are North Korean military buildings in Hambakseom. It caused huge debates in South Korea.

On September 5, 2019, Chosun Ilbo reported that the island has a radar with range of 30 to 60 kilometers.

South Korean government on September 18, 2019, confirmed that no offensive weapons are on the island.

Board of Audit and Inspection confirmed claims made by South Korean government that Hambakdo is north of northern limit line and is a North Korean island.
