How to read a busted newspaper July 8, 2021 July 8, 2021 admin
The National Review has published an article on the "breaking news" that the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass the USA Freedom Act, a bill that would give Americans the right to choose whether to return to the United States if the government becomes too intrusive in their lives.
It's one of the most notable developments in recent years, but the National Review's article is in response to an article by Rep. Ted Poe, a Republican from Texas, that called for an end to the USA Act.
In Poe's article, he argued that the USA legislation would create "a government that can spy on its citizens without due process, which, of course, the NSA has never done.
This is an Orwellian nightmare."
The USA Act, Poe wrote, would also allow for the "federal government to force Americans to surrender their constitutional rights in order to comply with their government's surveillance requests."
"The bill would give the government even more power to invade the rights of American citizens and give the NSA more authority to spy on the private communications of ordinary Americans," Poe said.
"This bill would make it easier for the government to monitor American citizens without any judicial oversight or oversight committees.
This bill would allow the NSA to spy directly on Americans without any legal oversight and without any oversight of the government.
This legislation would allow for an unchecked expansion of the surveillance state and a new Orwellian surveillance state."
The House passed the USA Bill in June, and is expected to take up the USA bill on Wednesday.
Poe said in a press release that he was "trying to find a middle ground" in the debate.
"We must recognize the right of Americans to have their own privacy, to have a right to decide who to associate with, to choose when and where they associate," Poe told reporters.
"The USA Freedom act is not a solution to a problem, but a solution in and of itself.
We must work together to craft a solution that protects the privacy of Americans."
In his press release, Poe said the USA House passed its own version of the bill earlier this year, but that it was "not sufficiently balanced."
He called for more "real balance" on the USA-USA bill, including a provision that would prevent the government from spying on Americans' online communications.
Poe also called for a constitutional amendment, which he said would require a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress to pass.
He called the USA bills "a dangerous step backward in our constitutional system."
"While the USAFreedom Act does not contain enough safeguards to prevent the federal government from violating our constitutional rights, it is an important step forward for our democracy," Poe wrote.
"It would allow Americans to choose to return, instead of being forcibly relocated abroad, if they are subject to government spying."

Call it the year of merch—everyone from Justin Bieber to Zayn Malik has thrown their hat into the ring. Drake brought his Summer Sixteen pop-up to New York City just two weeks ago. And with 21 temporary Pablo stores set to open across the globe on August 19, Kanye West is set to take that idea to the world stage.
It's fair to say that West was among the first to blow up merch in a big way—he opened a pop-up in New York to coincide with the Yeezus tour back in 2013. Located on the Bowery—a short subway ride from the Barclays Center where he performed—the store was filled with T-shirts, beach towels, stickers, and hats featuring macabre skull motifs from artist Wes Lang.
Fast-forward three years and West is taking it up a notch again, having sold a reported million-dollars' worth of merch at the Life of Pablo pop-up in New York earlier this year. He's since taken his shop on the road to Los Angeles and Paris, and is poised to make an unprecedented global impression this weekend with three-day-only stores in places as far reaching as Singapore, Amsterdam, and Melbourne, the exact locations of which will be revealed on kanyewest.com 24 hours before they open. Portland, Detroit, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Atlanta are among the cities in the U.S.
Each city will have its name spelled out on tees and hoodies with Cali Thornhill DeWitt's gothic script in a myriad of bold shades reminiscent of the collection West showed at Madison Square Garden in February. And while his runway pieces might be out of reach for some—Yeezy shoes in particular have fetched astronomical prices on the resale market—his latest fashion project should give fans across the world the chance at a piece of Pablo.

FFF Lebanon (4 Parachutes)
Hello from Fridays for Future Lebanon! We hope our emails finds you well. Fridays For Future Lebanon is the Lebanese chapter of Fridays for Future (FFF), a youth-led global climate activism movement spanning 7,500 cities. As the fulfillment of climate justice is largely related to that of social justice, our chapter is currently working on a campaign calling for the abolishment of the Kafala system. The Kafala system, in short, is an exploitative system that requires unskilled migrant workers to have a sponsor in Lebanon responsible for their legal and visa status, making it very easy for employers/sponsors to abuse migrant workers with no legal action being taken in response. After the Beirut explosion, things have only become worse for migrant workers in Lebanon. We as FFF Lebanon defend values of peace, love, and equity and firmly believe that there is a relationship between social justice and climate action. This is why we are asking for your help in abolishing the social injustice that is the Kafala system. How can you help? 1. Sign our Declaration! Drawing on our perspective as the youth of Lebanon, we wrote a declaration/petition calling for the abolishment of the Kafala system in Lebanon. The declaration was signed by over 200 individuals and supported by Anti-Racism Movement, This is Lebanon 961, and LOYAC in Lebanon as well as climate movements across Europe and Asia (YACAP, Youth for Climate France, FFF Dazaifu, FFF Romania, and Polluters Out Romania). Your signature would be extremely helpful. You may view and sign the declaration as an organization on this document. Kindly share the document with your audience so they can sign the declaration as well! 2. Donate! After the Beirut explosion, many migrant workers have little money and food and no means to return to their country of origin. They need help, and they need it now. The link to the fundraiser (started by the Anti-Racism Movement in Lebanon) can also be found in this document. We hope that you will take these steps towards abolishing the unjust Kafala system and helping migrant workers in Lebanon! Let us unite for the common good. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for any inquiries or further collaboration! Best regards, Fridays For Future Lebanon

Life timeline of William James Lynch
William James Lynch was born on 23 Apr 1907
William James Lynch was 10 years old when Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was forced to abdicate in the February Revolution, ending three centuries of Romanov rule. Nicholas II or Nikolai II, known as Saint Nicholas in the Russian Orthodox Church, was the last Emperor of Russia, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his forced abdication on 15 March 1917. His reign saw the fall of the Russian Empire from one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. He was given the nickname Nicholas the Bloody or Vile Nicholas by his political adversaries due to the Khodynka Tragedy, anti-Semitic pogroms, Bloody Sunday, the violent suppression of the 1905 Russian Revolution, the executions of political opponents, and his perceived responsibility for the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). Soviet historians portray Nicholas as a weak and incompetent leader whose decisions led to military defeats and the deaths of millions of his subjects.
William James Lynch was 21 years old when Walt Disney character Mickey Mouse premieres in his first cartoon, "Plane Crazy". Walter Elias Disney was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. A pioneer of the American animation industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, Disney holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
William James Lynch was 32 years old when Adolf Hitler signs an order to begin the systematic euthanasia of mentally ill and disabled people. Adolf Hitler was a German politician, demagogue, and Pan-German revolutionary, who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and Führer ("Leader") of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator, Hitler initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939, and was central to the Holocaust.
William James Lynch was 34 years old when World War II: Nazi Germany invades the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. Nazi Germany is the common English name for Germany between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) controlled the country through a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state that controlled nearly all aspects of life via the Gleichschaltung legal process. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich until 1943 and Großdeutsches Reich from 1943 to 1945. Nazi Germany is also known as the Third Reich, from German Drittes Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", the first two being the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire. The Nazi regime ended after the Allied Powers defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War II in Europe.
William James Lynch died on 12 Nov 1955 at the age of 48

Territories of Art Therapy
Pamela Whitaker, Territories of Art Therapy
Raw Material 2: Hélio Oiticica Propositions
Photo: The Parangolé,
Irish Museum of Modern Art , Hélio Oiticica: Propositions
Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica's (1937-1980) contribution to physical performance was enfolded within the dimensions of the parangolés he produced as wearable sculptures. The parangolés were inhabited as a dwelling space for physical exploration and expression. The complex fabric dimensions of these tent like constructions embodied architectural spaces. The fabric also had associations to homelessness and the nomadic carrying of one's own belongings. Foremost, the wearer entered into an experience which performed new sensations regarding one's physical positioning within public space.
The parangolés supported non-conformist bodily actions. They were intended as political interventions within the social context of a military dictatorship in Brazil. The purpose of these cape like structures was immediacy during a historical period of constriction. Rather than behaviour within boundaries Oiticica proposed the wearer of the parangolé to exert an influence upon surrounding social conditions. The anarchy of wearing unstructured layers of fabric could be considered a camouflage, but also a banner. The parangolé experience was an intimate experiment, aimed at finding new routes of social movement within limiting political circumstances.
Photos: A Forest Art Therapy Studio, Investigations of Movement
The consideration of fabric being worn as a supportive frame for physical disclosure and deterritorialization* is perhaps unusual within art therapy. The parangolé was not a costume, but a physical revelation. And still today it offers an inspiring example of how to interrogate physical presence. The wearer of the parangolé was both a celebrant and a dissident. Particularly evocative when worn outdoors, these draped dimensions of fabric facilitated movement patterns that were ambiguous and sculptural, punctuating public environments with sensory inquiry.
The choreographer, theoretician and dancer Rudolf Laban used the term living architecture to describe explorations of space and geometry through movement. By drawing the body through lines of travel, a mapping process occurs. These lines of investigation compose movement dimensions – forward and backward, high and low, and diagonally across from side to side. Demarcating space with pathways and networks of geometry, facilitates not only the physical explorations of spatial possibilities, but also cognitive capacity. Embodying the full spectrum of environmental possibility stimulates both mind and body. By learning to move in more than one direction, the coordinates of how we travel through life are extended. We move into new places, new situations, new volumes and depths.
*Deterritorialization is a term developed by Deleuze and Guattari (Anti-Oedipus, 1972) to describe the transgression of subjectivity from its routine formations, into a state of becoming (being in a state of flux, in process, in transition). It also refers to political and social movements, and society undergoing disruption and change.

Raw Material 1: Fibres of Touch
Useful Book: Stitching Resistance: Women, Creativity and Fiber Arts by Marjorie Agosin
Maxine Bristol (2012) suggests that touching wool, felt, threads, and fabric furthers self knowledge. Such fibers act as a silent witness to experience. Our bodies become imprinted upon textiles throughout the course of our lives. Bristow understands 'the somatic sensuality of cloth' (Bristol, 2012) to be like a skin, an interface between inner and outer worlds.
Photo: Eliza Bennett, A Women's Work is Never Done
A series of photographic works titled 'A Woman's Work is Never Done' Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand. By using the technique of embroidery, which is traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of its opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that 'women's work' is light and easy. Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid 'ancillary' jobs, such as cleaning, caring and catering, all traditionally considered to be 'women's work' (Eliza Bennett, Artist Statement, http://www.elizabennett.co.uk
Photos: Roxanne Evans Stout http://www.roxanneevansstout
Ann Futterman Collier (2011) believes that weaving, knitting, crochet, needlecrafts, felting, quilting and sewing are all threads of discourse that in essence 'craft humanity'. Traditionally, these forms of fiber art production have taken place within communities of makers. Conversation, and processes of production have been interwoven within these collectives.
Wandering and collecting found objects from nature, within streets, or public places can infuse fibre arts with a journey of discovery. Textile artist Cas Holmes (2010)picks up discarded objects and bundles them as packages, or souvenirs of her travels. These collection of specimens for her art, are disused relics. She makes new meaning from her findings through reassembling them, re-packaging what has been forgotten or thrown away, and re-instating their meaning. She is transforming everyday objects into portable icons, each becoming a talisman to be carried for protection and guidance.
Photo: Judith Scott, http://www.judithandjoycescott.com
Judith Scott's sculptures are made through binding and weaving wool around found objects. The physical mass of her sculptures are evocative personal landmarks made from repetitive acts of wrapping and tying. A collection of found or appropriated objects are hidden within the core of her sculptures. They resemble cocoons, nests, bodies, and are strong icons of a visionary artist who never repeated shapes or color schemes in her entire series of sculptures spanning eighteen years.
Fibre art can also influences styles of writing and communication; the stitching together of ideas as a patchwork of felt textures, colors and fabrics of living. Writing/conversation, like fibre arts, can be interrupted – picked up and set down – becoming a collection of different time frames, an assemblage of perspectives, an aesthetic that is stitched and taken apart repeatedly during its construction.

Nari Ward: In Large Part
I get inspired by things that don't fit in (Nari Ward, Spirit of the Street, Financial Times, December 4, 2015).
Photo: Nari Ward, Iron Heavens, 1995 (oven pans and burnt wooden bats) in www.aestheticamagazine.com
Ward's dramatic sculptural installations are composed of systematically collected material from his urban neighborhood. By revealing the numerous emotions inherent within found everyday objects, Ward's works examine issues surrounding race, poverty, and consumer culture (nariwardstudio.com).
Nari Ward's giant productions of found and reassembled objects are larger than life, despite being composed of everyday materials. He executes large scale physical constructions to evoke an experience of resonance within the reconfiguration of daily existence. His artistic residence is New York (although Jamaican-born) and the repercussions of his art are significant for all kinds of places and for all people. Ward explores the power of objects, their social formation, and their significance as cultural icons. He encounters chosen items and makes them other worldly, despite them being firmly entrenched within the crafting of human experience. His practical manipulation of matter is executed through labouring with a material. Each element holds an impression of his bodily contact, the personal markings of time spent in connection.
Photo: Artist Nari Ward on His Latest New York Show, http://www.architecturaldigest.com, November 2, 2015
It's all about engaging emotions. I want to take that energy and propel it into some other form (Artist Nari Ward on His Latest New York Show, http://www.architecturaldigest.com, text by Thessaly La Force, November 2, 2015).
Photo: Nari Ward, Saviour, 1996 (garbage bags, cloth, bottles, shopping carts, mirror, chair, clocks) Pérez Art Museum, Miami
I need that mind/body connection that happens with labour and repetition. You get lost in it to the point where ideas come to you (Nari Ward, Spirit of the Street, Financial Times, December 4, 2015)
Ward's example is a call for art therapists to thing "big" in regards to reassembling found and domestic finds. The objects compose a collection, a diary of events related to finding materials and also importing a sense of personal significance, where ordinary becomes something else. The installation of these large works reside within a locality, each piece a strident voice proclaiming an occupation of space and a demonstration of personal and social issues. Within art therapy putting ourselves out there can become a commitment to large scale exposure, not to be missed.

Montreal Folk Festival on The Canal
ArtsCityMusic
By Pamela Fillion Jun 6, 2012
As the sounds of pots and pans ring out every evening around Montreal, I can't help but think about the roots of folk music. To folk's inextricable connection to the people who produce it, to the social movements it inspires and reflects. The wooden spoons bandied about on our streets remind me of my grandfather, who played the spoons and sang folk songs at all our family gatherings. Next week, the Festival Folk on The Canal will be taking over the Ilot Charlevoix and I can barely wait.
Sarah Jane Scouten
The Fest begins on Thursday June 14th with folk legend Peter Yarrow from Peter Paul and Mary. Yarrow is playing with special guest Sarah Jane Scouten who has been making waves around Montreal recently getting an honourable mention in The Mirror's Best of Montreal poll 2012. Then on Friday, June 15th, Jim Kweskin and the Ever Lovin' Jug Band will be performing with special guest Daniel Isaiah.
On the weekend will be the meat of the Fest, the hardy platter of tunes, and it's free! Pardon my french, but how fucking awesome is that! We've got l'Arrondisement Sud-Ouest, The Georges Vanier Cultural Center, and St-Ambroise brewery to thank for this amazing chance to check out new and beloved folk acts.
On Saturday June 16th, there will be a unique opportunity for a family friendly urban camping experience. Last summer when I volunteered for the Fest, I heard many a positive comment from urban camping attendees. Thus, this year, I am resolute. I am not missing out. I've got a surefire plan: I am going to bring out my tent, refine my ghost stories, and round up some friends to camp by the Lachine Canal.
For Saturday's line up, I am most excited for Plants and Animals and Notre Dame de Grass. I'm new to Plants and Animals music, who are releasing their third album this year. I thoroughly enjoy their tune The End of That and the quirkiness of their lyrics. I'm curious about these fellows: interest piqued. Of course, I also look forward to Notre Dame De Grass. Not only because I have a musical crush on Joe Grass, but because these guys are a guaranteed good time.
As for Sunday's line up, I most look forward to seeing Les Soeurs Boulay. These two sisters deliver songs that are simply sweetly charming. With a ukelele and a guitar, these two ladies are sure to steal my heart this June. The other act I can't wait to see is Kevin Parent. Growing up in Saguenay Lac-St-Jean, Kevin Parent was a huge radio presence and I associate his songs with the idle and confusing summers of my childhood. My inner youth, who had never been to the big city nor the extensive technology of today, sees Parent as a superstar: someone who is made of legend and not of flesh. I am stoked (and also a tiny bit weirded out) by the possibility of seeing him perform live.
Come by the fest, let your soul sing a little.

Le Browning Hi-Power (aussi appelé Browning GP 35 et Browning HP 35, couramment abrégé en Hi-Power ou GP, pour Grande Puissance) est le dernier pistolet en partie mis au point par l'Américain John Moses Browning.

Le mécanisme de cette arme a été et continue d'être repris intégralement ou partiellement dans une quantité importante de pistolets.

Historique

Origine
Le Hi-Power résulte de l'amélioration d'un brevet de John Moses Browning déposé en 1925, lui-même issu d'une amélioration du brevet de 1897. Toutefois, John Browning mourant en 1926, il faudra attendre un certain nombre de modifications apportées par Dieudonné Saive et près d'une décennie avant que le Hi-Power ne soit produit par l'entreprise belge FN Herstal à partir de 1935, sous le nom de Browning GP 35 (pour Grande Puissance - année 1935) (Browning était lié à la firme belge pour l'exploitation de ses brevets en Europe depuis la production du Browning M1900).

Pistolet semi-automatique fonctionnant en simple action, le GP 35 était à l'origine disponible avec deux types de hausses, une fixe et une ajustable de 50 à , et la poignée pouvait être aménagée pour y fixer une crosse détachable.

Production avant 1945

Généralement, les pistolets à hausse fixe avaient une poignée classique, et ceux à hausse ajustable avaient la crosse détachable. L'arme sera achetée par l'armée belge et la Police belge peu avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Browning Hi-Power sera probablement la seule arme qui sera fabriquée par les deux camps. En effet, l'armée allemande utilisera (sous le nom de P35(b), pour pistolet, année 1935, fabriqué en Belgique) des Hi-Power fabriqués dans l'usine de FN Herstal (il semble d'ailleurs que les ouvriers belges aient délibérément mal travaillé, et que les P35(b) produits pendant l'occupation n'étaient pas fiables), tandis que l'usine John Inglis & Co de Toronto construira le Hi-Power pour les alliés grâce aux plans qui avaient pu être évacués avant l'invasion de la Belgique.

Appelé HP 35 (pour High Power - 1935) par le constructeur mais connu au Canada comme Browning 9mm, il arma les armées canadienne et chinoise, et bon nombre d'officiers britanniques s'en doteront comme arme secondaire en plus de leurs revolvers Enfield .38 réglementaires. Il en existe quatre versions qui diffèrent légèrement du modèle initial par son cran de mire rehaussé et son extracteur. Depuis les années 1950, il est produit par les arsenaux indiens sous le nom de PA 9 mm 1A.

Production depuis 1945

Après la guerre, le Browning GP fut adopté par un grand nombre d'armées et de polices, notamment en devenant le premier pistolet règlementaire de l'armée britannique (appelé L9A1) en remplacement des revolvers calibre .38, dont il est toujours l'arme de poing de service.

Parmi ses plus illustres utilisateurs, on citera notamment le Special Air Service britannique et le Hostage Rescue Team du FBI. Dans les années 1960-1970, la firme belge accorde une licence de fabrication à l'Indonésie (Pindad P1A 9 mm) et à l'Argentine (FM Browning/FM Modelo Detective  plus compacte). Le modèle argentin, remplaçant le FMAP 1927 (Colt M1911) dans les forces armées et la police, se retrouve rapidement entre les mains de nombreux narcotrafiquants sud-américains. Le FM Browning était proposé dans le circuit commercial par la firme privée Bersa (Bersa 90). Le FÉG P9M hongrois, l'Arcus 94 bulgare ou le  KSN Kareen israélien sont d'autres copies.

Chambré en 9 mm Parabellum, la contenance de 13 coups du magasin à double colonne constituait un avantage certain pour une arme de l'époque. Un chargeur rallongé de 20 coups a également été produit (utilisé par les unités d'interventions comme les SAS britanniques). Le Browning Hi-Power a également été chambré en 7,65 mm Parabellum (dans les années 1970 à destination de l'Italie) et en .40 S&W pour le marché nord-américain essentiellement (modèle Mark III, voir ci-dessous).

Le Hi-Power a connu un certain nombre d'améliorations, notamment dans les années 1980 avec des versions à platine en double action (DA/SA ou DAO), sous diverses désignations : Browning HP-DA, BDA9 et BDAO (voir l'article Browning HP-DA). Celles-ci ont cependant connu peu de succès. Plus récemment, des versions destinées au marché militaire/policier ont été lancées, le Mark II, puis le Mark III toujours proposé actuellement (aux États-Unis, il est appelé HP-SA pour simple-action, par opposition au Browning HP-DA). Le Mark III est équipé d'une sécurité de percuteur, d'organes de visée plus modernes et des plaques de crosse en plastique, et il peut être chambré en .40 S&W. Une amélioration de sa platine simple action a donné naissance au HP SFS (Self Fast Shooting).

Le mécanisme de cette arme a été et continue d'être repris intégralement ou partiellement dans une quantité importante de pistolets, comme le Pistol Auto 9mm 1A.

Fiche technique

Utilisateurs
À la fois fiable, fonctionnel et de grande capacité, le Browning Hi-Power est, après le Colt M1911, le second plus vieux pistolet toujours en service, et devrait probablement être, après le modèle américain, le second pistolet à avoir dépassé un siècle de service. La liste suivante comprend les acquéreurs de Browning 9 mm, de FN GP, et de FEG P9M :

نقش روستا در تامین امنیت غذایی، صادرات غیرنفتی، تولید ناخالص داخلی، ایجاد اشتغال و درآمد باعث شده است که برنامههایی جهت تقویت زیرساختهای اقتصادی و اجتماعی در راستای کاهش نابرابری و بهبود توزیع درآمد مناطق روستایی، طرحریزی و اجرا شود. از جمله سازوکارهای مناسب برای توسعه پایدار مناطق روستایی با هدف ارتقای درآمد و توزیع برابر آن، سرمایهگذاری در زیرساختهای عمرانی است. با توجه به اهمیت و نقش کلیدی سرمایهگذاری دولت در برنامه‌های کاهش نابرابری، در این مطالعه با استفاده از دادههای سری زمانی فصلی در طول دوره 1369 تا 1393 برای 99 متغیر اقتصاد کلان، اثر سرمایهگذاریهای عمرانی دولت بر توزیع درآمد روستایی ایران، با بکارگیری روش خودرگرسیون برداری عامل افزوده (FAVAR) مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. توابع واکنش آنی حاصل از برآورد مدل نشان میدهد که یک شوک مثبت به اندازه یک انحراف معیار در مخارج عمرانی دولت، پس از هفت فصل، منجر به کاهش ضریب جینی و بهبود توزیع درآمد در مناطق روستایی میشود. هم‌چنین، نتایج تجزیه واریانس نشان میدهد که شوک مخارج عمرانی بعد از فصل چهارم بیش‌ترین سهم از تغییرات مربوط به ضریب جینی مناطق روستایی را به خود اختصاص داده است که این امر اهمیت موضوع هزینههای عمرانی در توزیع درآمد را نشان میدهد.
The role of rural area in food security, exports, GDP, employment and income, has led to implementation some programs to strengthen socio-economic infrastructures in order to reduce inequality and improve income distribution in rural areas. Investment in infrastructure is one of the appropriate mechanisms for the sustainable development of rural areas and to promote equitable distribution of income. In this paper, using FAVAR method and quarterly data for the period 1369:q1- 1393:q4 for 99 macroeconomic variable, the impact of government expenditure on the Gini coefficient in rural Iran have been investigated. Impulse response functions show that a positive shock of one standard deviation in government expenditure, reduce Gini coefficient and improving income distribution after 3 season. Also variance decomposition results show that after the four season, government expenditure have the most important role in the dynamics of rural Gini coefficient.

At Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow, we are experts in replacing teeth. Using the latest dental technology we can help you achieve a beautiful, natural smile.
Why might I need an implant?
A dental implant is a fixed solution for one or more missing teeth, and can help restore both your smile and your quality of life.
An implant is made up of an artificial titanium root that is fixed to the jawbone, with a crown or bridge fitted on top. They can be made to look and feel just like natural teeth. If you are concerned about your replacement teeth looking realistic or coming loose, implants are an ideal option.
Implants also safeguard your overall dental health. Replacing missing teeth is extremely important, as missing teeth cause bone loss which can age your face, and could potentially cause adjacent teeth to become loose too.
Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn't notice any difference.
Implants provide permanent stability and comfort without affecting healthy teeth.
Implants won't come loose or fall out.
Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.
Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
There are several different types of implant available depending on your needs. Your Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic dentist in Glasgow will discuss all the options with you to find the best solution.
An implant is a great choice for a single missing tooth, whether it's visible or not, and the results can be life-changing. A single implant provides the foundation for a crown, which will be created at Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow to match your teeth exactly.
If you're missing more than one tooth, there are a number of options available to you at Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow. In some cases a single implant can support two replacement teeth, or two implants can support a fixed bridge if you have several missing teeth. A bridge is a long-lasting, natural-looking solution which will help preserve the health of the rest of your teeth and jaw.
Same Day Teeth is a process at Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow where patients can have implants placed and fully functioning teeth attached in the space of one day. With the latest technological advances, it is possible to remove a tooth and place an implant immediately into the extraction socket.
Dentures can be uncomfortable, irritating and embarrassing. With advances in Implant Dentistry, Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow now offer innovative techniques for denture stabilisation, ensuring they are comfortable and will not slip.
If you have had missing teeth for a while then loss of bone in your jaw or bone atrophy is the body's normal response to tooth loss, infection, gum disease of other trauma. This may mean you need some treatment before the Implant can be placed. The team here at Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow will advise you of this.
How is an implant fitted?
Assessment: Every treatment begins with an assessment from your local Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic dentist in Glasgow who will be performing your implant treatment. They will discuss all the options with you, make an assessment of the best solution for you, and ensure you understand every step of your treatment. You will have an x-ray and, in some cases, a CT scan to help visualise your jaw, ensure your gums are healthy and that there is enough jaw bone to place the implant.
The treatment: This is when the implant is placed into your jaw. It's a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic. If you are particularly nervous or have a dental phobia, your dentist will make sure you feel absolutely comfortable with the treatment, and can provide sedation if needed.
The implants will need three to six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for the crown or bridge.
Depending on your treatment and your dentist's diagnosis, a temporary crown can be fitted at the same time as your initial appointment. Same day teeth is a modern procedure which enables you to walk out of the clinic with brand new teeth in just one day. These will stay in place until the final restoration appointment.
Once your jaw has healed, your dentist will take an impression of your mouth. This enables a dental technician to build your bespoke crown or bridge, which will be colour matched to blend seamlessly with your other teeth.
Restoration:It may be necessary to have a separate appointment between six weeks and six months after your initial treatment, to allow the implant to fully integrate. This ensures that your jaw has completely healed before the crown or bridge is permanently fitted.
Your smile is now complete.
How do I look after my implant?
As with natural teeth, good oral hygiene is important for preventing gum disease and prolonging the life of your implants. You do not need to remove the teeth fitted to your implants, but clean them as you would your natural teeth. A high standard of daily care, along with regular check-ups with your local Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic dentist and hygienist, will help to ensure your mouth stays healthy and your implants last as long as possible.
Contact Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic in Glasgow today to find out more about dental implants and how they could work for you.
Our Clifton Dental & Implant Clinic dentists can help restore your confidence with replacements for missing teeth: from single implants to bridges, only you will know they're there.

SCR systems are essential for producing clean energy from internal combustion engines. Johnson Matthey has supplied over 3 GW of stationary SCR systems on engines which range in power from 500 kW to 20 MW. Our turnkey SCR systems are supplied with all of the components necessary for guaranteed performance. When the SINOx® honeycomb SCR catalyst is coupled with an ammonia slip catalyst or oxidation catalyst, the SCR system can achieve high reductions of CO, hydrocarbons and other VOCs to produce very clean energy.
SCR systems can be used on engines fueled by natural gas, biogas and landfill gas, as well as engines running on liquid fuels such as ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), biodiesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO). This versatility and high NOx reduction efficiency makes SCR systems ideal for many applications such as prime and standby power generation, irrigation pumps, combined heat & power (CHP) plants, landfills, dairy farms, greenhouses, oil & gas drilling and compression, and marine engines.
Our SINOx® SCR systems achieve NOx reductions of 95% for both diesel engines and gas engines using urea or ammonia (aqueous or anhydrous) as the reducing agent. Urea is often the ideal reducing agent because it can be shipped and stored easily and it is bio-friendly, however, ammonia can be preferable for the SCR process in many applications.
Typical emission and noise reductions achieved by SINOx® SCR system with silencing.
Complete SINOx® SCR systems are available from Johnson Matthey in either pre-engineered or custom designed configurations. The standard SCR system includes SCR catalyst, durable housing, mixing duct, injection system components and control panel. Turnkey SCR systems are also available as fully integrated, skid-mounted packages.
At the heart of the SCR system is a PLC-based control system with HMI that is exceptional for its performance, construction and versatility. The built-in software is flexible and can be easily modified right from the HMI screen by Johnson Matthey's field service engineers to implement different control strategies as needed. Load-based control, feedback control, load-based control coupled with NOx feedback, feed- forward control and feed-forward control coupled with NOx feedback are strategies that can be adopted quickly and easily to optimize performance and achieve compliance with new clean air regulations.
The SINOx® honeycomb SCR catalyst is mounted in sturdy catalyst element frames (E-frames) for easy installation and maintenance. The scope of supply of the SCR system that is provided by Johnson Matthey can be adjusted for each situation depending on the requirements of a given project. An optional silencer can be included in the SCR system for additional sound attenuation.

Jury Awards Astonishing $502 Million to Five Depuy Pinnacle Hip Victims
Published on: March 22, 2016 | By Clay Hodges
The ground moved on March 17, 2016. In a Dallas Texas courtroom a federal jury ordered Depuy Orthopaedics and Johnson & Johnson to pay five unfairly injured people $502 million dollars, including a stunning $360 million in punitive damages. The jury based this award on findings that Depuy hid critical defects in the design of the Depuy Pinnacle artificial hip system and hid these risks from doctors and patients.
I've written about this case before (In re: DePuy Orthopaedics Inc. Pinnacle Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, 11-md-02244, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas)). Five plaintiffs (Aoki, Christopher, Greer, Klusmann, Peterson) agreed to have their cases tried together. This was not a "class action" lawsuit. Rather, because the five individual cases had sufficient similarities, the judge, parties, and attorneys agreed to try all five cases in one jury trial. The single jury heard all the evidence in these cases, but Judge Ed Kinkeade instructed the jury to consider liability in each individual case, and to award separate damages for each plaintiff. Boy did they.
$360,000,000 in Punitive Damages
Five patients implanted with the Depuy Pinnacle artificial hip were awarded $502,000,000.00. The jury concluded that the Pinnacle hip sold by Depuy was defective and that Depuy knew about the flaws but did not warn patients and their doctors of the risks. The jury awarded $142,000,000.00 in actual damages and $360,000,000.00 in punitive damages.
Depuy is owned by parent company Johnson & Johnson, who will be on the hook for paying this judgment.
In all five cases the artificial hips failed, requiring revision surgeries and causing pain and suffering. In each case, the plaintiffs alleged that cobalt and chromium from the metal hip components was released into their bloodstreams, causing toxic metal levels in the blood.
Beyond the physical injuries, the five plaintiffs alleged that Johnson & Johnson rushed the Pinnacle hip on the market, despite knowing the defects of the product, so the company could reap billions in sales as quickly as possible.
A Real Donnybrook
The trial was a real donnybrook. The jury heard 37 days of testimony in this case, and the defendants made seven motions for mistrial. Judge Kinkeade denied every one. Depuy and J&J made repeated allegations that the plaintiffs' team presented prejudicial, inflammatory evidence to the jury. It is a common defense tactic, but the reality is this: all evidence presented by your opponent is prejudicial and intended to be so. The judge found that the plaintiffs' evidence was not unfairly prejudicial.
While this result is a stunning victory for these individuals and a positive sign for victims of the Depuy Pinnacle hip, the jury verdict does not guarantee that Johnson & Johnson will have to pay big for all future Depuy Pinnacle hip failures. J&J previously won a jury trial against a person who claimed similar injury based on the failure of the Depuy Pinnacle hip. In that case the jury found that Depuy was not negligent and that the plaintiff (Ms. Herlihy-Paoli) was not entitled to any compensation. You can read about that case here.
Further, Johnson & Johnson stated after the five hundred million jury verdict that it would appeal. Among other things, J&J has noted that Texas law places a cap of ten million dollars on punitive damages. On appeal, Johnson & Johnson will likely claim it did not receive a fair trial, and even if it did the final monetary award should be reduced considerably.
Still, the $360 million in punitive damages had to send shockwaves through the suits at Depuy and Johnson & Johnson. Plainly, this jury became convinced that these defendants engaged in reprehensible conduct and wanted to send a loud message of outrage. This award should favorably impact settlements for the 8,000 other plaintiffs who have filed suit and are still waiting to have their cases tried to a jury (or settled).
Depuy stopped selling the Pinnacle in 2013. The good news is that if you received an artificial hip in 2014 or after, it should not be the Pinnacle. If you had hip replacement surgery in 2013 or before, you may need to figure out if you are walking around with the Depuy Pinnacle hip, especially if you are having pain or other complications.
It's important to remember that (unlike the Depuy ASR hip) the Depuy Pinnacle was never officially recalled by Depuy Orthopaedics. Depuy has taken the position that the Pinnacle is different and safer than the ASR hip components. But this latest jury verdict does not help J&J advance that narrative.
The Depuy Pinnacle system was allegedly designed to provide better range of motion and to be attractive to an active group of patients undergoing hip replacement surgery. One of the major complaints from injured patients is that the metal components grind and release metal particles into the body and blood of the patient. And like the Depuy ASR hip, the Depuy Pinnacle hip bypassed the normal pre-market testing for a new medical product through a process known as "510(k)."
This is a great result for these five plaintiffs but also for the thousands of people who had hip replacement surgery where the Depuy Pinnacle was implanted. The plaintiffs' executive committee now has a huge verdict to use as leverage when the committee negotiates a global settlement with Depuy and J&J attorneys. There is now a much better chance that the plaintiffs will be fairly compensated for their injuries.
I will continue to provide updates on future Depuy Pinnacle trials and settlement discussions as they occur.

County applies for $350,000 road grant
Published 2:59 pm Monday, July 15, 2019
By Teresa Boykin
The Marengo County Commission approved a resolution to apply for up to $350,000 in funds to resurface five roads in the county on Tuesday.
The grant is funded through the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs and requires at least a 10 percent match, but the county can add any additional funds necessary to complete the resurfacing. Each road on the accepted application will be receive $4,000 in funding per resident living on the road.
Frank Dobson, Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission Assistant Executive Director & Development Director, compiled a list of five roads with resurfacing cost estimates and funding eligibility for the commission.
Bunny Creek Road would cost $150,000 and is eligible for $176,000, Red Oak Road would cost $80,000 and is eligible for $104,000, Barneys Upper Road would cost $100,000 and is eligible for $120,000 and Winter Drive would cost $175,000 and is eligible for $180,000, and CR 44 would cost over $300,000 to resurface and is eligible for $156,000 making it the only road that would be over budget. All roads except CR 44 are in District 5.
While Commissioners Terry Hinton and Freddie Armstead showed great interest in putting CR 44 on the application, Commissioner Michael Thompson was concerned that the low number of residents would hurt the overall application and cause it to be declined.
"I don't mind doing [CR] 44, but we need to find some different ways to do it," Thompson said.
Armstead preferred including CR 44 on the application so county residents outside of District 5 could benefit from the grant, but Thompson was unsure if it would be accepted by ADECA, which would cause the entire application to be denied.
Dobson said that the more Marengo County residents that benefit from the resurfaced roads, the more likely the application is to be accepted, though there is still no guarantee no matter which roads are on the application. He also said that CR 44 still has a chance to be funded, but it is not as likely as the others on the list.
"It does. It's going to be a longer shot because of numbers," he said.
Commissioner Jason Windham suggested applying for all five roads and providing the funding that the $350,000 grant does not cover, which would equal approximately $455,000, and the commission decided to go that route following executive session.
(More information from the meeting will be included in the July 10 edition.)

Feral Pigs: Their Environmental Impacts, Sign, Edibility, and Hunting Techniques
Mark J. Hainds, LBWCC Forest Technology Faculty, mhainds@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2275
Feral pigs are one of the most significant invasive species in North America. In the southeastern U.S., feral pigs are particularly destructive to native ecosystems and the agricultural industry. After working in and studying the longleaf forests of the south for 15 years, Mark J. Hainds set himself the goal of killing a wild boar in 10 different states in the year 2007, the Chinese "Year of the Pig." He successfully completed his mission, traveling from Alabama to Maui, Hawaii, and back, pursuing wild boar with shotguns, rifles (centerfire, rimfire, and black powder), archery, and knives. He met his goal, chronicling his adventure in his first book, Year of the Pig, published by the University of Alabama in 2011. This presentation includes a selected description of the hunts, identification of feral pig sign, how pigs effect the environment, and how land managers deal with this emerging threat.

Longleaf Pine: The Forest that Covered the South
Longleaf pine once covered 92 million acres of the southeastern United States, comprising the largest forest-type dominated by a single tree species on the planet. Over millennia, thousands of plants, animals, insects, and other life forms adapted and thrived in this fire-driven ecosystem. By the end of the 20th century, North America's longleaf forests had been reduced to almost 3 million acres, leading to the extinction or endangerment of scores of species. Today, longleaf is resurgent, with over 100 million longleaf pine seedlings planted annually. Hear the story of this magical forest and the people working to restore longleaf to its former range.

Walking the U.S.-Mexico Border: Only One Person Has Done It!
The U.S.-Mexico Border is approximately 2,000 miles in length, and until 2017, no person had walked the entire distance. On Oct. 27, 2014, Mark J. Hainds set out from El Paso, Texas, walking south and east along the Rio Grande. Seven weeks and 1,000 miles later, he reached the Gulf of Mexico at Boca Chica Beach, becoming only the second person to have walked the length of the Texas-Mexico Border. On the two-year anniversary of completing this feat, He returned to El Paso on Dec. 21, 2016, and started walking west, covering the remaining 1,000 miles to the Pacific Ocean, through New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Featured in the film, La Frontera, covered in national media (Vice, Associated Press, Fox Business News, ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision, and Telemundo, just to name a few), Hainds' journey has been well documented and nationally recognized. This presentation describes the geography, wildlife, immigrants, farmers, ranchers, and law enforcement personnel he met along the way. The trip is also documented in Border Walk, scheduled to be published in 2017.
When Both Ends of the Candle Burn Out
Ayida Cumberland, MS, ALC, LBWCC Academic Support Coordinator, acumberland@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2320, cell 334.508.2320
Because life demands us to be "all in or nothing" at various phases, self-care is often neglected, and burnout is inevitable. This presentation will focus on how individuals experience burnout in work, as well as in other areas of their life, i.e. home, church, relationships, etc. Learn effective strategies to implement in order to prevent burnout, in addition to the coping skills needed to overcome it.


By now you've probably felt the change in the air as autumn begins to fade and winter moves in. The annual cold snap can be a nightmare for homeowners trying to keep warm, which isn't surprising given that a typical household can lose up to 10% of its generated heat through window panes and glazed door units.
What causes that valuable heat to escape when we most need it? What can we, as homeowners, do about it? Follow this short guide for more information on heat loss, heat gain, and how the right choice of aluminium windows and doors can transform your chilly interior into a comfortable living space, no matter the season.
The biggest cause of heat loss is radiation. It accountsfor around two thirds of all energy lost through windows. This is because glass is an exceptional conductor of heat. Warmth generated within the house is absorbed by the window's inner pane. It is then transmitted to the outer pane's cooler surface and eventually to the outside, where it is lost irretrievably.
Convection can be another factor causing heat loss in windows that have a cavity between the glazing unit's two panes. Sometimes the warmth of the inner pane generates heat within the glazing cavity – hot air which eventually rises and is replaced with colder air. This cold air creates a convection current which continually contributes to the transfer of heat from the inside to the outside.
After radiation, the second biggest cause of heat loss from interiors comes from air leakage. However, this is an issue which primarily affects older units and those which are particularly badly fitted, allowing heat to escape through sometimes unnoticeable gaps in material.
Practically all glazed units on the market nowadays are rated with U-values, describing their overall level of thermal transmittance. This U-value is measured in watts per metre per degree of temperature difference, but all you need to know is this: the lower the U-value of the glazing, the better thermal performance you can expect.
Our selection of aluminium windows are manufactured especially for their thermal insulation properties, whether you choose Supertherm80 or Thermo60 as your preference. They offer insulated gas-filled cavities as standard, in addition to air-tight thermal breaks in the frames, providing unrivalled U-values without any compromise on design or security.
What about passive solar heat gain?
Remember how glass and glazing, in particular, is an excellent conductor of heat? Well, heat absorption works both ways – radiation doesn't transfer simply from warm interiors to outdoors in all cases.
On warmer days it can just as easily be the outer pane of your glazed unit which absorbs heat from outside before transmitting it to the inside, resulting in a net heat gain within the home. Untreated glass will also pass solar heat, in the form of UV rays, directly through the panes.
There are a few key factors to be aware of regarding heat gain. Whether heat gain is something you want to encourage or discourage, however, will depend largely on the specific location and design of your house.
The way which your windows are facing can be a big influence on the levels of household heat gain you can expect to see throughout the day, as well as throughout the year. During the summer months south-facing windows and doors will be subjected to the most heat, while east-facing and west-facing windows will see peak absorption during the mornings and the afternoons respectively.
Providing some level of natural shade can make all the difference if you're trying to prevent too much heat gain in the summer. Planting bushes and trees in the right place can straightforwardly provide shading and prevent the sun's rays from penetrating your windows. However, the low angle of the sun by east- and west-facing windows can make these locations trickier to insure against increased heat gain.
Alongside U-values, a window's G-value is another measure of its energy efficiency – specifically regarding the degree to which it prevents heat from sunlight entering a property. Values range in fractions from zero to one, with lower G-values representing the greater capability for solar heat prevention. The G-value of a window can be reduced further by using low-emissivity or solar control glazing specifically designed to reflect unwanted UV rays.
With years of experience specifying and fitting countless projects across London and the Home Counties, we are ready and able to ensure you get the right energy efficient windows and doors for your household or workplace. Every product in our range was manufactured or selected with modern thermal performance standards in mind, so the properties we work on aren't just a pleasure to behold, but a pleasure to live in as well.
