Are you an NGO, lawyer, business, or consultant working in Libya? Would it be useful to have an expert Libyan Arabic translator "on call" seven days a week to work on your urgent projects? Industry Arabic has worked extensively in Libya and translated thousands of pages of legal documents, media analysis, Powerpoint slides, and governance-related materials. This article outlines our team's experience and approach to working with Libyan Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in the Libyan context.
Since ancient times, the region now known as Libya has played a significant role in Arab and international history. This oil-rich nation emerged as one of the greatest leaders in the African Union and Arab League during the modern era. Libya's prominence fell due to the events of the Libyan Revolution in early 2011 and subsequent overthrow of the Jamahiriyya. Ever since, the country has been embroiled in a bitter civil war that has effectively split the country into three.
Despite the conflicts and strife, Libya has remained at the center of attention for the international community. With the prospects of peace, reconciliation, and stability on the horizon, many look forward to interacting with Libya once again and supporting its reconstruction. For businesses and NGO's concerned with Libya's recovery, a familiarity with their particular dialect is crucial. Whether it comes to media analysis, political settlements, or business development proposals, Industry Arabic can help you understand the in's and out's of Libyan Arabic for your next project.
Libyan Arabic itself is divided between three major regional variants: Western (based in Tripoli); Eastern (based in Benghazi); and Southern (based in Sahba). Located between Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia, Libyan Arabic likewise represents a unique crossroads in terms of Arabic dialects. It is not so much related to Egyptian or Levantine Arabic as it is Maghrebi dialects. Yet, it cannot be entirely classified as Maghrebi either. In fact, the dialect is very close to Gulf Arabic, thanks to the mass migration of Arabian tribes to the region in classical times.
As such, the dialect is close to Classical Arabic in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary. The only noticeable difference is the pronunciation of the qaaf (ق), which sounds more like a "g". However, this is not always the case, as in the name of Libya's former leader, Muammar Qaddafi/Gaddafi. The dialect also contains many foreign loanwords. Being the indigenous people of North Africa, the Berber language and culture is present in Libyan Arabic. Many Italian loan words have also made their way into Libyan Arabic due to that country's colonization of Libya in the early 20th century.
100% Trusted Expert Human Translators: Machine translation (and human translators that rely on them) barely have a solid grip on Modern Standard Arabic. As such, their grasp over Arabic's many dialects is even weaker. At Industry Arabic, every word we translate is done by professional, human translators. In this way, you know that someone who actually understands the language is working on your translation. Many of the translators specialize in a variety of sectors, such as technical, legal, and medical translation. Our linguists are distributed across many different time zones so you can rest assured knowing that your time-sensitive project is ongoing, even while you sleep! Our company is ISO 17100 certified and we have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Libyan Specialist Linguists: Every translation goes through a two-step review process to verify accuracy and readability. For Libya Arabic projects, we entrust the process to a Libyan dialect specialist who has a deep understanding of Libya's language and culture. After finishing the translation, the translator edits their work against the source text. Then, they submit the document to our project managers, who proofread it and ensure that it is ready for delivery. In this way, we can guarantee that multiple eyes and hands have reviewed your project and crafted it to suit your stylistic needs.
A Love for the Libyan Language! We love to take on dialect projects, and Libyan Arabic is no different. We take on all kinds of translation work in the Libyan dialect, whether simple written reports, legal documents or multimedia projects. Our translators are well-equipped and technically savvy in using the best techniques and industry programs while working on your project.
Political Reconciliation Process: We have worked closely with several international NGOs to support Libya's transition process. The project has involved conference minutes from different Libyan town hall meetings, video transcription in the Libyan dialect, and political proposals for building a new government.
Libya Laws Project: Industry Arabic translated a series of laws enacted in Libya for a legal case. the project not only required deep knowledge of legal translation, but also an intimate understanding of Libyan society and politics.
Arabic Handwritten Evidence Documents: We have translated dozens of pages of handwritten evidence materials in the Libyan dialect. Our team deciphered nearly all the text in record time, despite the files' poor handwriting and scan quality.

Let me begin by making it clear that I am not going to be describing the types of tents available on the market here, the distinction between the "regular ones", or the "expedition ones" and digress about their upsides and downsides. Below I present several notes on the two tents that I have used.
Generally speaking – what tent to buy?
I would say – a good tent is one that works, which means one that will successfully protect us from rain (unless someone is going on a trip during winter – but that's a topic for a separate discussion some other day). Everything else is just more or less important details. I'd like to point out that there's no such thing as "a universal tent, or a perfect one". It would be the best to have two or more, depending on the intended purpose. I do understand, however, that the person reading this article wishes to have one tent – so let's call it the universal one.
What to pay attention to when buying it?
– it should not weight more than three kilograms (as specified by the manufacturer), especially that these parameters tend to "grow" strangely often in practice.
– it would be nice for it to be low when set up – the lower it is, the better it will work in strong winds.
– long, ground-touching flysheet – it often happens that despite the flysheet being highly "waterproof", rain can still kind of get inside from below – especially when it comes to rainfalls during strong winds.
– snow roofs (optional), that work great not only during winter outings, but also during heavy downpours.
– very strong and sturdy zippers – it helps when there are loops on them, when setting up and packing up the tent on cold days.
– elevated floor sides – when sleeping in places where strong winds occur combined with heavy rainfalls, as well as when it snows.
– no more than three support poles – the less, the better, simple solutions usually work best in practice.
– waterproof look at best waterproof tent ranking.
After thoroughly defining our expectations, we can start searching through websites, stores, asking friends, overall: the more info we get, the better, although I know people who spend half a year searching and still end up buying something they didn't look for. It sure won't hurt to look around a little, but there are limits. The great selection of tents will certainly allow us to choose something for ourselves.

Andrew McBlain Tennant (born 17 February 1966) is a former Scottish cricketer who played a number of matches for the Scottish national side. He has since served in a variety of coaching and administrative roles with Cricket Scotland, including as acting head coach for a period of time.

Born in Ayr and educated at Prestwick Academy, Tennant first appeared for Scotland on a 1993–94 tour of Zimbabwe, having previously appeared regularly for a Scotland B team. A left-arm orthodox spinner, he played two matches at List-A level, and a further three at first-class level. His two List A matches came during the 1996 English season: one against Yorkshire in the Benson & Hedges Cup, in which he took 2/29 from ten overs, and the other against Durham in the NatWest Trophy, in which he went wicketless. Tennant's matches at first-class level all came in the annual series against Ireland, in which he participated in 1996, 1999, and 2000. He took nine wickets in these matches – his best figures, 3/28, came in the 1996 fixture, and included two stumpings by Alec Davies. At club level, Tennant played for the Prestwick Cricket Club, which from 1999 played in the new Scottish National Cricket League (SNCL).

Tennant was appointed Cricket Scotland's youth development manager in May 2004, and served in the position until 2006, when he was replaced by Peter Steindl. After Scotland's senior coach, Peter Drinnen, resigned in July 2007, he and Steindl took over the team on an interim basis, coaching the side at the 2007 World Twenty20. Steindl was permanently appointed to the position in December 2007, while Tennant was named to the position of head of cricket, and also named coach of Scotland A. He had previously become the first Scottish coach to gain a Level 4 coaching qualification from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). In April 2014, as part of a reorganisation of Cricket Scotland that saw Grant Bradburn appointed head coach, Tennant was named director of cricket, in charge of "all strategic and operational cricketing matters".

In September 2022, he was appointed head coach of Sunrisers.

The Eikon Basilike was published in the days surrounding Charles I's execution. Purporting to be the last meditations of King Charles, and written under Charles' name, it provides his view on the Civil Wars and the issues which triggered them. It was a masterful piece of propagandaBiased and misleading information used to promote a political cause or point of view. that quickly became an international bestseller. Despite attempts by parliament to censor the book - it was illegal to print or to sell it - it ran to thirty-six editions in its first year and was printed in five languages.
The actual authorship of the book has been debated since it was first published. Royalists believed that Charles himself had written it, although this was questioned by the likes of John Milton at the time. Considerable evidence points to it being written by the Restoration Bishop of Exeter, John Gauden. More recent scholarship suggests that it was a joint affair: Charles provided the substance and perhaps some of the text and Gauden wrote the rest.

KNIGHTS OF THE ROSE
The Arts Theatre, London, Thursday 12th July, 2018
The jukebox musical is a long-established genre and a lucrative one (when it comes to the likes of Mamma Mia!) taking the back catalogue of an artiste or a period or a genre and shoehorning songs into a paper-thin plot. Here, show creator Jennifer Marsden goes a step farther by shoehorning quotations from classical literature into the dialogue. And so we get swathes of Shakespeare, Marlowe and Chaucer, along with Tennyson, Blake, Burns… The programme has three pages listing literary references… The overall effect, apart from showing how adept Marsden is at cutting-and-pasting, is perhaps not the desired one, as 'thees' and 'thous' give way to song lyrics in which characters refer to each other as 'Baby'. That clunking sound may not be the scenery being manoeuvred into position but the gear change in your mind as we lurch from period to period.
What this means is Name That Tune collides with Place That Quotation, keeping us at a distance from the characters and the unfolding drama. Moments of emotional impact are therefore diluted by our, what Brecht would call, alienation from what's unfolding. Any engagement we have is with the performers, all of them working hard to keep this balloon in the air, and all of them wildly impressive.
Everything is played straight. To spoof it up would give us another Spamalot. To give us another Camelot, the show would need an original score. No, Knights of the Rose is definitely its own thing.
Leading the cast as Prince Gawain is former-Hollyoaks star Andy Moss, who proved his mettle as a vocalist in a recent nationwide tour of Ghost. Moss here proves himself more than capable of delivering rousing speeches to his troops – next stop, The RSC? – and he does his best with a character that has no flaws or self-doubt, or anything to get his teeth into. He gets a couple of Bon Jovi numbers to belt out, so all is well.
Oliver Savile is floppy-haired Sir Hugo, the romantic lead, singing pop, rock (and later, classical) with a clear, sweet voice. His rival Sir Palamon (in this performance, played by Ian Gareth Jones) brings musical theatre intonations to the rock songs, along with a meatier stage presence. Matt Thorpe's Sir Horatio does extremely well with his songs in a high register, while Ruben Van Leer's humble John perhaps has the purest, most searing voice of all.
Van Leer sort of narrates, linking scenes together with recitations of verse. He speaks with feeling and clarity but there are perhaps too many of these, keeping John out of the action, commenting on it (sometimes tangentially) rather than taking part, and slowing things down for the rest of us.
Katie Birtill's Princess Hannah and Rebekah Lowings's Lady Isabel, supported by handmaid Emily (Blue Woodward) provide a couple of the show's highlights, absolutely killing Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For A Hero and Total Eclipse of the Heart. The vocals are superb, and the staging by director Racky Plews gives us 1980s rock video. Plews blends modern choreography with period moves, and so we get Chaucer's The Knight's Tale meets Heath Ledger's A Knight's Tale.
Bringing gravitas to the piece are Adam Pearce as Aethelstan and Rebecca Bainbridge as Matilda, King and Queen, two more mature players in this young cast.
There are moments of brilliance. A stylised battle, complete with horses' heads and animated rain, is evocative and effective. A medieval chant, from Adam Pearce's King Aethelstan, reverberates with drama as well as his beautiful bass baritone…
The creative choices are audacious, at turns bemusing and gobsmacking, but it's the performers that give us the enjoyment, that sell us this hodgepodge and we like it.
How to fix it? Me, I'd start lighter, to give more time for us to get attached to the characters and accustomed to the style before the action proper kicks in. The transitions from poetry to rock song should be smoother, rather than speedbumps in the way of our engagement. And give us a song we can sing along with for a more rousing finale.
Somewhere within in all this is the potential for a great show. As it is, it's a lot of fun – as a rock concert cum poetry recital delivered in fancy dress.

Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Birmingham Hippodrome, Tuesday 14th November, 2017
Andrew Lloyd Webber has written loads of musicals. This is one of the good ones. Based on the film of the same name, this is the story of deluded silent-movie star Norma Desmond, yearning for a comeback (or 'return' as she calls it) and her relationship with opportunistic, down-on-his-luck screenwriter Joe Gillis. It's a movie biz musical with more than a touch of noir. Lloyd Webber's score has moments of sweeping, cinematic lushness and the lyrics, by Christopher Hampton and Don Black, have wry wit. But we have to wait a while for the first banging tune to come along – when Norma makes her first entrance, 'With One Look'. The opening sequence is just recitative – there is a lot of it throughout the show, with characters singing their dialogue to the same repeated musical phrase. I'd dispense with it and just have the songs proper. But that's me.
As the posturing diva in her sunset years, Ria Jones is magnificent, stalking and strutting around melodramatically and with a belter of a voice. There is real star quality here, beyond Norma's domineering persona, I mean. Selfish, deluded, vulnerable and manipulative, Norma is a nightmare, but a dream of a role for Jones. Perfection.
As writer-turned-gigolo Joe is Hollyoaks heart-throb Danny Mac, establishing his leading man credentials with a winning performance. He has a strong and pleasant singing voice – to match his physique! – and brings an amiable quality to this anti-hero.
No ordinary Joe: Danny Mac (Photo: Manuel Harlan)
Thirdly, but by no means least, there is a towering performance from Adam Pearce as Norma's butler, Max, with a voice that is deep and rich and expressive. Thoroughly convincing.
Molly Lynch sings sweetly as Joe's love interest Betty Schaeffer, and there is vibrant support from a chorus who represent the bustling world of the studio lot in a range of guises.
Director Nikolai Foster utilises elements of a film set to tell the story, with projections and spotlights, and stage hands pushing scenery around. This is a nifty way to include moments like a car journey or a plunge in a swimming pool that is in keeping with the Hollywood setting. Foster lets the black humour of the piece come through – we are both endeared to and horrified by Norma. The final staircase speech is dark, funny and heart-breaking.
An engaging look at what happens when the famous no longer have fame, how the rich seek to control, how destructive one-sided relationships can be… There is so much in it. Above all, it's an excellent production of a grown-up musical, with a handful of great tunes and memorable performances from the central players.
Sunset Boulevard is right up my street.

Taking the Piss
URINETOWN
St James Theatre, London, Thursday 6th March, 2014
At long last, Urinetown comes to the UK and, let me tell you, it is well worth the wait. I could write the shortest review ever and just say: PERFECTION. Or I could go on and on and write a book about how great this show truly is. I'll try to land somewhere between the two.
It is set in a dystopian future where a water shortage means bodily functions are strictly regulated. Everyone has to pay to use public toilets – going elsewhere is strictly prohibited. Offenders are caught and exiled to the mysterious Urinetown of the title. Of course, there's a greedy corporation manipulating and exploiting the situation with politicians and law enforcers in its pay. Not unlike coalition Britain, ha ha – but the satire of the show is sharper than mine.
When he meets and falls for the corporation boss's daughter, Bobby Strong embarks on a revolutionary path to restore dignity and socialism to the world. But the show is about more than a clash of political ideas. It's also about musicals, while being a demonstration in how to write and perform a musical. There's a lot of frame-breaking fun going on, poking fun at its own form. Director Jamie Lloyd capitalises on every such moment but the production never becomes too 'knowing' or 'nudge-wink'. It's all carried off with camp charm.
Officer Lockstock is our narrator. Together with Little Sally, who speaks for the audience, he guides us through the show, like a man trapped in the fourth wall. RSC stalwart Jonathan Slinger is the bully-boy cop and I don't think he's ever been better. Karis Jack's Little Sally draws our attention to the absurdity and distastefulness of the subject matter, while conveying the character's blinking innocence.
As Bobby Strong, Richard Fleeshman is certainly swoonworthy, giving us the hero's blind determination and idealism. He has a great voice too. Rosanna Hyland is love interest Hope, fresh-faced and sweet-voiced, she plays the humour of the part to perfection. Her father, the evil Caldwell B Cladwell is played with relish by Simon Paisley Day. Marc Elliott is delightfully twitchy and smarmy as Mr McQueen and Adam Pearce is splendid as Lockstock's partner-in-crime-fighting, Officer Barrel. Although if Lockstock put his baton to my head to make me pick a favourite, I'd have to opt for Jenna Russell's hilarious and cartoonish Penelope Pennywise.
It's an outstanding cast. An ensemble of energetic minor characters mean there is always plenty going on; some hysterical bits of business make the show consistently funny. There is also some darkness along the way. Transgressors are beaten up and bloodied. We are reminded that there is a serious message to all of this, and it's not just that capitalism is wrong and that socialism won't work. The show reminds us that our way of life is unsustainable. Without proper management of the world's resources, we won't have a world on which to debate ideals, or indeed a pot to piss in.
On the surface it all seems like silliness but Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann's show is a remarkable piece of work. You can see why it won tons of awards on and off Broadway. The production values of this current incarnation should see some awards winging their way to the St James Theatre or there's no justice. Soutra Gilmour's production design gives us a dank and grimy world of brick walls and tiles, like Victorian toilets and sewers. Ann Yee's choreography is quirky and funny, as the score sends up a range of musical styles. The attention to detail is, like much of the production, breathtaking.
Urinetown is a truly refreshing addition to London's musical theatre. Like a long, cool glass of water, it makes you want to go again.
Pissed off: Richard Fleeshman and Jenna Russell

Getting muscular and building big biceps, thick thighs and boulder shoulders isn't a quick process. Building muscle takes time and consistency in your approach to training and nutrition. When starting on your journey from scrawny to brawny, a realistic expectation of the time involved can help keep you on track.
The rate of muscle building differs for men and women. Men will naturally build muscle quicker due to their higher levels of testosterone, but for both sexes, the rate of muscle gain slows the longer you've been training. According to nutritionist Leigh Peele, newbie male lifters can expect to gain 1.5 pounds of muscle per month. Intermediate lifters can gain around 0.5 pound per month, while advanced lifters may only gain 0.25 pound per month. For women, these numbers drop to 0.5 to one pound for newbies, 0.3 to 0.4 pounds for intermediates and 0.1 to 0.2 for advanced women.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually build muscle while you're lifting weights. You do need to lift weights to add mass, but training actually causes muscle breakdown. To stimulate muscle growth, or hypertrophy, you need three stages. The first stage is the breakdown, caused by lifting weights at a high intensity. The second stage is an increase in certain hypertrophy-specific hormones, which begins during the session and continues as you rest and recover. The final stage is nutrition -- you must consume an excess of calories to repair the damaged muscle tissue, helping it to grow bigger. The actual muscle you build from each workout is minimal and it takes a sustained period of intense training to build any noticeable muscle.
Most people will get the best gains from bulking for six to 12 months, then cutting for two months, according to nutritionist Alan Aragon. This means that for six months to a year, you should train hard and eat in a caloric surplus, which will build muscle mass, but you may also add some fat. The two- to four-month cut is designed to strip away any fat you added, while keeping your hard-earned muscle.
The actual timescale for building muscle depends on your genetics, how hard you train, how strictly you adhere to your diet and how much muscle you want to build. For optimal results, consistency is key. Hitting all your scheduled workouts, striving to get bigger and stronger and eating in a small caloric surplus will get you the fastest results possible. For an optimal hypertrophy routine, the Department for Kinesiology and Health at Georgia State University recommends training two to four times per week, with six to nine exercises per session, with each for four to six sets of six to 12 reps. The load should be between 70 and 80 percent of your single repetition maximum with around one minute between sets.

The War That Won't Go Away
by Howard Lisnoff
"There you go again," was one of Ronald Reagan's favorite refrains in the 1980s, and especially in a 1984 presidential debate with Walter Mondale, to disarm his critics and to show the disdain that he held for any issues that had even a hint of liberalism. He was also the architect of the "noble cause" historical revisionism that began the sanitizing of the Vietnam War. "Theirs was a noble cause," were the words he used that began the long march to attempt to make the Vietnam War a good war in the minds of Americans.
It is no surprise that much sound and fury would accompany Donald Trump's outrageous anti-feminist rant on the campaign trail when he chastised both the Democratic Party and Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of Captain Humayun Khan, a soldier who died in Iraq in 2004. Trump's criticism was part of his inability to empathize with anyone and his general disdain for women.
But the firestorm he created with his unfeeling remarks launched a debate about the deferments he received during the Vietnam era for his status as a student and bone spurs that were the ultimate reason for his deferment from military service.
"Amid 'Sacrifice' Debate, a Look at How Trump Avoided War" (New York Times, August 1, 2016), attempts to cast doubt and suspicion on Trump's motives as a student and young man when he successfully got out of military service during the Vietnam War. The article takes Trump's statements about his health and deferments during that period and shows the inconsistencies in how Trump describes his history vis-a-vis the draft. But the problems here are twofold. Mr. Trump seems to have a problem in general with inconsistencies and outrageous statements in almost every policy pronouncement he makes on the campaign trail. In the case of Vietnam and the draft, however, he was doing what hundreds of thousands of other young men did during that unpopular war to get out of serving in the military. To judge Trump by the standards of 1968 or 1969 is to take the current views about war and apply them retroactively to that era.
The basic truth here is that the Vietnam War was a horror in every respect. It was a lethal outgrowth of a Cold War policy toward communism that ended with the death of between 3 and 5 million people in Southeast Asia and about 58,000 Americans. By completely ignoring the right of the Vietnamese people to self-determination, the war decimated three countries and gave rise to atrocities on a massive scale. It made a joke out of the rules of war.
Here are some of the statements given by U.S. Vietnam veterans at the Winter Soldier Investigation in Detroit, Michigan in January and February 1971 (Wikipedia: Winter Soldier Investigation):
Stephen Craig: "…My testimony covers the maltreatment of prisoners, the suspects actually, and a convoy running down an old woman with no reason at all…"
Rusty Sachs: "…my testimony concerns the leveling of villages for no valid reason, throwing Viet Cong suspects from the aircraft after binding them and gagging them with copper wire…"
Scott Camil: "…My testimony involves burning of villages with civilians in them, the cutting off of ears, cutting off of heads, torturing of prisoners, calling in of artillery on villages for games, corpsmen killing wounded prisoners…"
Kenneth Campbell: "…My testimony will consist of eyewitnessing (sic) and participating in the calling in of artillery on undefended villages, mutilation of bodies, killing of civilians, mistreatment of civilians…"
Fred Nienke: "…My testimony includes killing of non-combatants, destruction of Vietnamese property and livestock, use of chemical agents and the use of torture in interpreting prisoners…"
But the Winter Soldier testimonies of veterans were the tip of the iceberg of U.S. atrocities in Vietnam. The massacre at My Lai in March 1968 and the actions of the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry in May 1967 categorized as an "orgy of atrocities" by Michael Sallah and Mitch Weiss in Tiger Force: A True Story of Men and War (2007) were two other examples of the rampant disregard for the rules of war that the insanity of this grotesquely immoral war caused. The attempts to sanitize the horrors of that war were necessary if the U.S. was to continue fighting wars from the 1980s to the present. Indeed, what was known as Vietnam Syndrome, the hesitancy of the people of the U.S. to commit to war following the Vietnam War, was short-lived.
Here we go again: Attempting to sanitize the war crimes of the Vietnam War. In order to sanitize new wars, the ruling elite and the military-industrial complex have to convince the public through its constant media bombardment of propaganda that we fight only good wars for the highest of moral purposes. No matter that the historical record tells a much different story of wars in Central America during the 1980s and the arming of Bin Laden's Taliban in the same decade that would turn lethal in 2001, when those forces we supported turned their insanity and ideology in the form of blowback against the U.S.
Through the sanitizing of wars in general, Hillary Clinton, who has a known and bonafide pro-war record, gets off of the hook from the scrutiny of her actions while Trump is rightly chastised for his outrageous statements.

Ground Water and Drinking Water
Coronavirus and Drinking Water and Wastewater
There is no higher priority for EPA than protecting the health and safety of Americans. EPA is providing this important information about COVID-19 as it relates to drinking water and wastewater to provide clarity to the public. The COVID-19 virus has not been detected in drinking-water supplies. Based on current evidence, the risk to water supplies is low. Americans can continue to use and drink water from their tap as usual. EPA also encourages the public to help keep household plumbing and our nation's water infrastructure operating properly by only flushing toilet paper. Disinfecting wipes and other items should be disposed of in the trash, not the toilet.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler sent a letter to Governors in all 50 states, territories, tribes and Washington, DC, requesting that water and wastewater workers, as well as the manufacturers and suppliers who provide vital services and materials to the water sector, are considered essential workers and businesses by state authorities when enacting restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19. Our critical water infrastructure and its operators ensure the safe supply of water to our homes and hospitals, and depend on treatment chemicals, laboratory supplies and related goods and materials. Read letters to local leaders from Administrator Wheeler about the importance of water and wastewater services.
The Agency has provided a template that states, tribes, localities, water utilities and technical assistance providers can use to provide documentation to workers that are considered essential: Water Utility Template: COVID-19 Pandemic (DOCX)(2 pp, 31 K, April 3, 2020) or Water Utility Template for Tribal Lands: COVID-19 Pandemic (DOCX)(2 pp, 30 K, April 23, 2020) .
EPA also supports states and cities that have already taken proactive measures to ensure continued access to clean water for drinking and handwashing during the COVID- 19 pandemic. Many drinking water systems are discontinuing service cut-offs, restoring service to customers whose service was previously cut-off, and refraining from imposing penalties for nonpayment. EPA recommends widespread adoption of these practices, which provide critical support for public health.

Chris Buckley (left) and Heval Kelli shared about their unlikely friendship and the value of overcoming differences at a campus workshop on Oct. 5.
"More in Common" workshop highlighted overcoming differences
Students, faculty and staff learned about an unlikely friendship between a Kurdish refugee and a U.S. military veteran and reformed white supremacist as the two shared their story of combating hate and bridging divides at a workshop on Oct. 5.
Heval Kelli, a former Kurdish refugee and a cardiologist, and Chris Buckley, a native of Georgia, a veteran of the Iraq War and a reformed white supremacist, shared their story in a "More in Common" workshop for campus student leaders in the FedEx Global Education Center. The event was part of the Countering Hate initiative. Twenty-seven students, faculty and staff represented a range of campus departments and organizations.
The friends shared their experiences in an open dialogue with student leaders, including:
How to build relationships with neighbors who have opposing views
How to teach empathy towards those different from us
How to conduct and facilitate discussions on competing views
How to foster active listening and compassion in our communities
How to communicate with many members of our communities, given our varied backgrounds.
Kelli and Buckley met through another reformed white supremacist and after some initial skepticism, became friends and met each other's families. Since then, they have been on a mission to share their story of overcoming differences and letting go of anger and hate.
Their stories are multifaceted, and Kelli and Buckley said they both have experienced significant trauma. But together they said they are welcomed into communities they might not reach alone. They talked with participants about finding some common ground to start a conversation and then actively listening. They discussed going into conversations without having the goal of changing someone's mind, which can lead to the person shutting down. They both advised that sharing your stories helps to open the conversation — and to be humble and respectful when doing so.
With an ultimate goal of continuing to listen and build bridges across campus and in the community, student leaders will go forward and share what they have learned with their respective organizations and beyond.

October 11, 1:30 p.m.: Difficult Discourse: The Language of Confederate Monuments and Racial Conflict
Click to view full flyer
Location: University Room, Hyde Hall
Space is limited; registration required: https://tinyurl.com/diffdiscourse
After the toppling of the Confederate monument known as Silent Sam on the UNC campus in August 2018, there was considerable discourse on campus about the history of the statue and the social and political implications of its presence, its removal and its possible restoration. These were (and are) needed conversations. But missing from the discussion was a critical awareness of how we were talking about this monument. Linguistics professor Misha Becker and political science professor Mark Crescenzi will host a public forum to hear individual 30-minute talks by experts in relevant areas, plus an open discussion with panelists from a diverse range of disciplines whose work touches on issues related to language and race, language and power, language and politics, and discourse on war memorials. Invited speakers include Elaine Chun (University of South Carolina), Laura Hart (Wilson Special Collections Library), Atiya Husain (University of Richmond), Kumi Silva (Communication department), Armond Towns (University Richmond). The talks and panel discussion will be research-driven and research-focused: How does one conduct research on these difficult and emotionally fraught topics?
October 23, 7:00 p.m.: The Jews as a Class: Between Race and Religion in the Civil War South
Location: Hill Hall
The Center for Jewish Studies' Margolis lecture for 2019-2020 is with Shari Rabin, Oberlin College.
One of the most infamous instances of American antisemitism is General Ulysses S. Grant's 1862 General Order Number 11, which banned "Jews, as a class" from the Department of Tennessee. This presentation will revisit this language of southern Jews "as a class" in historical context, showing how Jews and non-Jews alike struggled to categorize Jews in a region – and a nation – dominated by Protestant religion and a rigid racial binary.
Shari Rabin is assistant professor of Jewish studies and religion at Oberlin College. She is the author of Jews on the Frontier: Religion and Mobility in Nineteenth-century America (NYU Press, 2017), which won the National Jewish Book Award in American Jewish Studies and was a finalist for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature. She received a PhD in religious studies from Yale University in 2015 and taught at the College of Charleston from 2015 to 2019.
Directions/Parking.
Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m.: As One – Panel Discussion/Open Rehearsal
Person Recital Hall
In this workshop of As One, audience members will be taken behind the scenes to observe the process of staging this innovative chamber opera. Through discussions and the presentation of one or two selections from the opera, this will be a physical and vocal exploration of how one character can live in two bodies and how transformation can be both difficult and freeing. We will also be exploring voices from the local trans community and their intersection with this story.
As One will be part of Carolina Performing Arts' season on February 19-20 2020, which will feature two voices sharing the part of a sole transgender protagonist. The production will include locally based advisors and cast members, including Marc Callahan from UNC's Department of Music and earspace, a Raleigh-based ensemble directed by UNC alumnus Vincent Povázsay.
November 7, 5:30 p.m.: Understanding Antisemitism as a Form of Hate
Location: FedEx Global Education Center, Nelson Mandela Auditorium
Kenneth S. Stern, director of Bard College's Center for the Study of Hate, will give a talk titled "Understanding Antisemitism as a Form of Hate" on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Nelson Mandela Auditorium in the FedEx Global Education Center.
For 25 years Stern was the American Jewish Committee's expert on antisemitism. He was the lead drafter of the "Working Definition of Antisemitism," later adopted by the U.S. State Department.
He has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and testified before Congress. He was an invited presenter at the White House Conference on Hate Crimes and an official member of the U.S. delegation to the Stockholm International Forum on Combating Intolerance.
Stern was part of the defense team in the historic Holocaust denial case of David Irving vs. Deborah Lipstadt. He was counsel for American Indian Movement co-founder Dennis Banks, and his resulting book, Loud Hawk: The United States vs. The American Indian Movement, won the Gustave Myers Center Award as outstanding book on human rights. His book about the Oklahoma City bombing – A Force Upon The Plain: The American Militia Movement and the Politics of Hate – was nominated for the National Book award. His other books are Holocaust Denial and Antisemitism Today. His forthcoming book is titled The Conflict Over the Conflict: The Israel/Palestine Campus Debate.
Stern's op-eds have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, The Forward, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and elsewhere. Stern has appeared on the CBS Evening News, Dateline, Good Morning America, Face the Nation, the History Channel, PBS, and on NPR's Fresh Air and All Things Considered.

November 13, 7:00 p.m.: Painful Hope: An Israeli Settler and Palestinian Activist in Dialogue
Location: Toy Lounge (4th floor), Dey Hall
We invite you to join Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger, an Israeli, and Shadi Abu Awwad, a Palestinian, as they share their personal, interconnected stories and present the successes and challenges of their groundbreaking grassroots organization, Roots: A Local Palestinian Israeli Initiative for Understanding, Nonviolence and Transformation. Weeknight parking guidelines: move.unc.edu.
Come early to enjoy refreshments from Mediterranean Deli.
January 27, 5:30 p.m.: Annual Holocaust Remembrance Day Event: Why Did the Holocaust Happen?
Location: Moeser Auditorium, Hill Hall
The injunction to commemorate or to remember a historical event leaves open the question of what precisely should be remembered. In the case of the Nazi Holocaust of European Jewry, the injunction usually implies that those who remember something about it are more likely to be on guard against its recurrence than those who carry no such memory, but what that something might be has never been spelled out. In this lecture a veteran historian of the Nazi Holocaust will examine aspects of the historical situation in which the Holocaust took place and will explore the ways in which understanding those aspects may help guide policymakers concerned with preventing similar catastrophes in the future.
David Engel is Greenberg Professor of Holocaust Studies, Professor and Chair of Hebrew and Judaic Studies, and Professor of History at New York University. Professor Engel is the author of six books on aspects of twentieth-century Jewish history and historiography, including: In the Shadow of Auschwitz; Facing a Holocaust; and, most recently, Historians of the Jews and the Holocaust.
The event is by the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies.
February, 10, 7:00 p.m.: "Up Close and Personal: Challenging Prejudice in 1960s Documentary"
Varsity Theatre, Chapel Hill, NC
Free admission. Total run time of film program: 65 minutes.
This program will feature four short films that address the topic of prejudice by focusing on individual experiences of racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination. Three of these films (Felicia, Behind Every Good Man and Siu Mei Wong: Who Shall I Be) are discussed in a new edited collection, Screening Race in American Nontheatrical Film, which was published by Duke University Press in November 2019. The fourth film, Goodbye to Carolina (Dir. Clive Hewitt, 1964, 27 minutes), was filmed on the campus of the University of North Carolina in May 1964, and features interviews with students at North Carolina A&T about their experiences of discrimination in the state. Collectively, these intimate portraits of everyday encounters with prejudice and hate give us both insight into how young people in the 1960s addressed hate, and also a model for how media can be used productively to give us insight into the lives of people who are most affected by hate. After the screening, a panel discussion with Martin L. Johnson, Charlene Regester, Marsha Gordon and Skip Elsheimer (AV Geeks).

February 19-20: As One, a chamber opera
Location: CURRENT ArtSpace + Studio.
Feb. 20 performance has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Existing tickets will remain valid for a rescheduled event. More at https://www.carolinaperformingarts.org/ros_perf_series/as-one/.
There is Hannah before, and there is Hannah after. In As One, two voices share the part of a sole transgender protagonist, tracing Hannah's experiences from her youth in a small town to her college years.
The story weaves a narrative of Hannah's life and experiences from childhood through to self-discovery as an adult, tackling both humous moments and some very serious issues that affect the trans community. This opera is an opportunity for conversation, listening, and learning on the UNC campus and in the greater community.
Through discussions and the presentation of one or two selections from the opera, this will be a physical and vocal exploration of how one character can live in two bodies and how transformation can be both difficult and freeing. We will also be exploring voices from the local trans community and their intersection with this story. CPA's staging of this powerful chamber opera will include locally based advisors and cast members, including Marc Callahan from UNC's Department of Music (in the role of Hannah Before), mezzo-soprano Melina Jaharis and earspace, the Raleigh-based ensemble directed by UNC alumnus Vincent Povázsay.
The production is also supported by the Carolina Women's Center.
Tickets $27, available at Carolina Performing Arts' website.

POSTPONED:
February 20, 5:00 p.m.-6:30 p.m.: "The Far Right on College Campuses: Behind the Decades-Long Effort to Undermine Higher Education and Destroy Democracy"
Location: Graham Memorial, room 039
Postponed due to expected inclement weather. New date to be announced.
When tiki-torch carrying protestors marched on the campus of the University of Virginia in August, 2017, many observers were shocked at the presence of white supremacists on a college campus. They needn't have been. Months before, white supremacists had been organizing in face-to-face meetings and online to oppose the removal of a Confederate statue on campus. While many regard these protests as the expression of a "lunatic fringe," far from the mainstream, in fact, they are much closer to the core values of American higher education than many are comfortable acknowledging.
In this engaging talk, sociologist Jessie Daniels draws on over 25 years of research into white supremacy – and personal experience of being attacked by the far right – to present the very real, and persistent, threat the far right poses for higher education and for democratic societies.
Jessie Daniels is a Faculty Associate at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center, a Full Professor of Sociology at Hunter College, and affiliated faculty in Africana Studies, Critical Social Psychology and Sociology at The Graduate Center-CUNY. She is an internationally recognized expert who has studied Internet manifestations of racism for more than twenty-five years. She is the author of White Lies (Routledge, 1997) and Cyber Racism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009), which explore white supremacist use of media, and editor of Digital Sociologies (Policy Press 2017). Her current book project is Tweet Storm: The Rise of the Far Right, the Mainstreaming of White Supremacy, and How Tech and Media Helped. She was named a "pioneer in digital sociology" by the American Sociological Association and presented her research in 2019 to the United Nations.
Co-sponsored by the Countering Hate Initiative, the Department of English & Comparative Literature, the Center for Information, Technology & Public Life and the Institute for the Arts & Humanities.
March 3: Film screening and workshop with filmmaker Kalyanee Mam
3:00 p.m.: FedEx Global Education Center room 4003
7:00 p.m.: FedEx Global Education Center Nelson Mandela Auditorium
On March 3, two events will feature Cambodian-born filmmaker Kalyanee Mam, whose work focuses on the concepts of home, displacement and belonging. Her films and lived experience as a refugee from the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia shed light on themes of environmental destruction (and justice) and the intangible culture that is lost (and sometimes rediscovered or reestablished) in the lives of displaced peoples.
Workshop and screening of short film Lost World: 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Singapore dredges sand out from beneath Cambodia's mangrove forests, and an ecosystem, a communal way of life, and one woman's relationship to her beloved home are faced with the threat of erasure.
Screening of A River Changes Course: 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Through the stories of three young Cambodians, A River Changes Course explores the damage rapid development has wrought in Cambodia on both a human and environmental level. It won the Grand Jury Prize for World Documentary at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
Mam's visit is sponsored by the Carolina Asia Center, Southeast Asian Approaches Faculty Working Group, Department of Communication, Department of Geography & Carolina Public Humanities. It is part of the Countering Hate Initiative.
March 5, 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m.: Rituals of Resilience: Imagining Survival
Location: The Sonja Haynes Stone Center Auditorium
'Rituals of Resilience: Imagining Survival' is a free public performance by San Francisco-based artist, director, and performer Rhodessa Jones and members of The Medea Project: Theater for Incarcerated Women, an award-winning performance workshop committed to incarcerated women's personal and social transformation. A talk-back session will follow the performance.
Rhodessa and her group explore dramatic performance as a means of women reclaiming their lives through the creative process. Rituals of Resistance is an evening of storytelling rooted in truth-telling as a means of women (ex-offenders, poets, dancers and singers) utilizing autobiography and giving voice to our personal experiences in celebrating our journeys. The performance is a tapestry made up of stories birthed over several decades of cultivating the incarcerated woman's voice. She too is testifying and navigating the landscape of "me too" as well as honoring the sacred circles that make up the culture of womanhood in a world gone mad.
On Friday, March 6, the artists will participate in further conversation with small groups. Limited space is available; contact Patricia Rosenmeyer (patanne@email.unc.edu) or Al Duncan (acduncan@email.unc.edu) for more information.
The event is sponsored by the department of classics, with financial support of the Stone Center for Black Culture and History, the Countering Hate initiative and the Performing Arts Special Activities Fund.
CANCELED: March 17, 2:00 p.m.: "Memoir of a Race Traitor: Fighting Racism in the American South"
Location: Toy Lounge, Dey Hall
In 1994, Mab Segrest first explained how she "had become a woman haunted by the dead." Against a backdrop of nine generations of her family's history, Segrest explored her experiences in the 1980s as a white lesbian organizing against a virulent far-right movement in North Carolina. Memoir of a Race Traitor became a classic text of white antiracist practice. Juxtaposing childhood memories with contemporary events, Segrest described her journey into the heart of her culture and how she finally veered from its violent trajectory and moved towards place of hope and renewal.
Mab Segrest is Professor Emerita of Gender and Women's Studies at Connecticut College. She is the author of several books including the forthcoming Administrations of Lunacy: Racism and the Haunting of American Psychiatry at the Milledgeville Asylum. A longtime activist in social justice movements and a past fellow at the National Humanities Center, she lives in Durham, North Carolina.
This guest lecture is in support of English and Comparative Literature teaching associate professor Elyse Crystall's ENGL 265 course, "Literature of Race, Literature of Ethnicity: Disposable People, Disposable Lives," which centers on several racial and ethnic groups who have been subjected to hate in its many forms throughout the 20th and 21st centuries (mostly in the US).
Canceled.

March 28: "Revisiting Discourses of Love, Sex, and Desire in Modern Iran and Diaspora" one-day symposium
Due to concerns regarding the spread of the COVID-19, this symposium has been postponed.
Location: FedEx Global Education Center, Room 1005
The Persian studies program presents this one-day symposium as an attempt to provide a safe space for public discussions of the nuances around discourses of love and desire in modern Iran, challenging and contributing to the dominant discourses on key topics. From their mundane to their sublime forms, love and desire have played a central role in various discourses in modern Iran. From romantic epics to ghazals, and from arranged marriages to white marriages, and from companionate love to contemporary cohabitations, desire is undoubtedly one of the most important theoretical topics for scholars. This symposium brings together a range of scholars from different disciplines focusing on modern Iran to analyze the wide variety of ways in which love and desire have been represented, imagined, and discursively constructed. Participants will address discourses of love and desire and revisit those discourses considering the implications that they have for larger theoretical debates.
Selected papers of the symposium will be published in the book series titled, Sex, Marriage, and family in the Middle East, edited by Janet Afary and Claudia Yaghoobi, published by Bloomsbury. Other selected papers will appear as a special issue in the Journal of Middle East Women's Studies.

April 14, 2:00 p.m. — 3:00 p.m.: "Moving Towards Just Space: A Palestinian Reimagining of the Academic Campus"
Location: Dey Hall, Toy Lounge
Diya Abdo, department of English at Guilford College, will deliver a talk titled "Moving Towards Just Space: A Palestinian Reimagining of the Academic Campus." Refugees are cast, both in policy and the public imaginary, as those to be quarantined on the margins and in the ghettos of society – separate and apart. In this talk, the founder and director of a national organization that mobilizes colleges and universities to host refugees on campus grounds and support them in resettlement, discusses the ways in which the Palestinian refugee experience undergirds the political reimagining of one of the bastions of exclusive spaces (the academic campus) towards a more accountable and just space.
Abdo is an Associate Professor of English at Guilford College; the Founder and Director of Every Campus A Refuge (ECAR), a Thomas Ehrlich Civically Engaged Faculty Award Recipient 2019, and an Arab Hope Makers Award Finalist 2018.

April 23, 5:00 p.m.: Film screening, The Aryans
There will be a public film screening of Mo Asumang's documentary The Aryans, followed by a discussion led by College of Charleston associate professor Joshua Shanes. The Aryans (2014) is a documentary about right-wing movements worldwide and their completely incorrect interpretation of "Aryanism," a phenomenon which began with French philosopher Gobineau and continued with the Nazis. Black German filmmaker Mo Asumang embarks on a journey into the madness of racism and meets German neo-Nazis, America's most notorious racist Tom Metzger and members of the KKK in the Midwest. English subtitles.
Shanes is an associate professor and associate director of Jewish Studies at College of Charleston. His research interests focus on Central and East European Jewry in the 19th and 20th centuries, specifically turn-of-the-century Galicia and the rise of Zionism as a counter-movement to the traditional Jewish establishment.

Through Dec. 1: She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World exhibition
During this critical time for Iran and the Arab world, as national and personal identities are being dismantled and rebuilt, contemporary photography reflects the complexities of unprecedented change. One of the most significant trends to emerge is the work of women photographers, whose remarkable and provocative images provide insights into new cultural landscapes, questioning tradition and challenging perceptions of Middle Eastern and Arab identity. "She Who Tells a Story" brings together the vital pioneering work of 12 leading artists, ranging in genre from portraiture to documentary: Jananne Al-Ani, Boushra Almutawakel, Gohar Dashti, Rana El Nemr, Lalla Essaydi, Shadi Ghadirian, Tanya Habjouqa, Rula Halawani, Nermine Hammam, Rania Matar, Shirin Neshat, and Newsha Tavakolian.

Location: Everett Field, Franklin, Mass.
Becker College used standout pitching and a homerun swing to sweep a New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) softball doubleheader with host Dean College on Sunday afternoon. The two victories for the Hawks spoiled a Senior Day celebration for Bulldog seniors Danielle Dumont (Nashua, N.H.), Courtney Holden (Bridgeport, Conn.) and Michele Sessa (Tewksbury, Mass.).
Becker broke open a scoreless game with five runs in the third inning – including back-to-back bombs by Sarah Ellis and Vasia Murphy – on their way to a convincing 10-1 triumph in the opener.
Ellis' blast was a three-run shot to left and was immediately followed by Murphy's solo blast to almost the exact same spot.
Two batters later, Kelsey Weston launched a solo homerun to left as well, staking the Hawks to a five-run advantage.
Emily Iacovelli sent a ball sailing over the left field wall in the fourth and when Samantha Belenchia single in the fifth, Becker was in front, 7-0.
Three more runs came home for the Hawks in the sixth before Melanie Rios-Nevarez (Vega Alta, Puerto Rico) smacked an RBI double in the bottom of the frame, but by then it was too late.
Ashley Veillette allowed just four hits and one earned run to pick up her ninth win of the season for Becker, who got two hits and four RBI from Ellis.
The Hawks jumped out to an early 3-0 edge before the Bulldogs got on the board in the third on a Karissa Menzinger (Centereach, N.Y.) single to left that plated Rios-Nevarez.
Becker put up single runs in the fourth and fifth to go in front 5-1, but Dean answered back when Ali Nelson (Candia, N.H.) crushed a two-run homerun to dead center field in the bottom of the fifth – her second in as many days.
Any thoughts of a Bulldog comeback were quickly dashed when the Hawks scored five runs in the top of the sixth, highlighted by another RBI hit from Ellis.
Dean did push a run across in the sixth when Miranda Seacord (Cambridge, N.Y.) scored from second when Emily Whelton (Dracut, Mass.) laid down an excellent sacrifice.
Lauren Niemann had three hits and three RBI in the nightcap for the Hawks, who also got three RBI from Liz Simonian without her getting a hit.
Dean is back in action on Thursday when they host Elms College beginning at 3:00 PM.

Methadone withdrawal will be required one way or another, after methadone upkeep or a pain management program making use of methadone has actually started. If your sensation confined by having to go to a Littleton WV center or a drug store daily as well as experiencing hell if you intend to take a trip, there is a way out.
Methadone use creates a numb sensation to living, considerable stomach problems and physical dependency that beats all others; that's the list. All sort of various other health issue that methadone usage generated are uncovered when starting methadone withdrawal. I'll offer you some answers to aid right now, and even more remedies to manage the problem to ending methadone dependence forever.
Dependencies doctors and pain administration clinics in West Virginia are seriously suggesting methadone for opiate abuse and chronic pain, but exactly what are the consequences of methadone usage? I have actually detailed lots of listed below. If you have actually currently tried Methadone withdrawal and also had troubles, I have actually got some help you wouldn't have actually found elsewhere.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, many people are having BIG troubles ending their methadone usage. Exactly how does one take out from methadone in Littleton West Virginia? What obstacles will they need to get rid of?
The reality is that several addictions doctors as well as pain monitoring specialists in Littleton are acting upon the referrals from their peers and also consultants. They are not told of the fatalities as a result of prescribed methadone use neither the problems that occasionally happen when taking out from methadone use.
Vital: thoroughly study medications or medicines yourself before you acquire or take them. The effects could be terrible. They likewise may have dangerous interactive effects when taken with various other medications.
Many otherwise all of methadone results are triggered by dietary deficiencies. Methadone usage produces nutritional deficiency – specifically calcium and also magnesium deficiency. An additional is B vitamin deficiency. This is how these shortages appear.
Methadone withdrawal will require a lot of additional nutritional supplementation. That means it's time to feed the body. Calcium as well as magnesium will certainly help with the cramping and so on. But there will be some difficulty several will certainly have taking their nutrients – a poor intestine.
Methadone and anxiety meds tend to damage the intestine cellular lining. A leaky gut provides discomforts when eating or allergic reactions, prone to illness and skin troubles. One more symptom of a dripping digestive tract is irritability and also a 'attitude problem'. The attitude could have physical reasons unmentioned by the person.
An excellent idea to helping the intestine problem is consuming great deals of high quality yogurt with online probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One can likewise supplement with huge quantities of glutathione – an antioxidant to aid the cleansing process.
The amount of nutrients called for throughout methadone withdrawal is undervalued so frequently that I drink my head in wonder.
The issue with methadone is that it is harmful to the body. Your body knows it, but you might not. Taking methadone obstacles your body organs to detoxify the body and shield the essential body organs before they are badly harmed.
Toxins provide the body a tough time. If you have actually seen drug users with dark circles under their eyes, grey skin, poor skin, hair falling out, reduced energy, weird conditions, etc. they're obtained dietary deficiencies. Those shortages are difficult to recover from with food alone. Sometimes that food isn't really being properly digested = negative digestive tract.
Cleansing the body is more than simply stopping substance abuse. Drug abuse develops interior body damages you could not promptly recognize. However, the body will certainly attempt to cleanse right after substance abuse and recover itself using any kind of nutrients offered. If the nutrients typically aren't offered, the body will certainly borrow (take) them from the bones, nervous system or various other crucial functions.
Some will require medical detox from methadone – the problem is that most Littleton methadone detox centers don't use nutritional supplements as part of their program. They just give more medications, and often not the right ones. The lack of full understanding on Methadone detox creates a brutal scene to withdraw from.
The bright side is that I have actually found the devices as well as the detox centers in WV that can beat methadone withdrawal efficiently and also easily.
Some say the community derives its name from William Little, a pioneer settler, while others believe it was named after Harrison Little, a local reverend. Littleton was formerly a town and was disincorporated in 2004.

Adam Goldberg has joined the cast of NBC's Taken, marking the second addition to the action-drama's Season 2 rejiggering.
Weeks after the series was renewed for the 2017-18 TV season, TVLine reported that Gaius Charles (who played John), Brooklyn Sudano (Asha), Monique Gabriela Curnen (Vlasik), Michael Irby (Scott), Jose Pablo Cantillo (Dave) and James Landry Hébert (Rem) would not be returning, while Clive Standen (Bryan Mills) and Jennifer Beals (Christina Hart) will.
Per our sister site Variety, Goldberg will play the series regular role of Kilroy, a gray hat hacker who is eccentric and intelligent and wields a droll sense of humor. Previously, The Flash's Jessica Camacho joined the Season 2 cast as Santana, a scary-smart, rule-breaking former Army captain who possesses an acerbic wit and calculated bravado.
NBC also made a showrunner switch in the spring, tapping Person of Interest's Greg Plageman to replace Season 1 boss Alex Cary. Taken's 16-episode sophomore run was subsequently bumped from fall to midseason to give Plageman more time to execute his new vision.
Goldberg's previous TV credits include The Jim Gaffigan Show, Season 1 of Fargo, the one-and-done NYC 22 and The Unusuals, Entourage and Relativity.

Q: Launching a new Android activity via Javascript in a Webview I have android test app and I am trying to call a function with my JavacriptInterface class. This webview plays a video and when it ends it calls a JS method which should call the android method to launch a new activity.
That doesn't seem to be happening at all, when the video is done it's like the webview reloads and it plays the video again.
Is it possible to launch an activity like this? I can provideo sample code in about 45 minutes.
The VideoActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR);
    getActionBar().hide();
    this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try
    {
        WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        myWebView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
        });
        WebSettings webSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
        webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

        Intent i = new Intent("com.example.myapplication.BlankActivity");
        myWebView.addJavascriptInterface(new JavaScriptInterface(this,i), "Android");
        myWebView.loadUrl("url");
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        String msg = e.getMessage();
        String trace = e.getStackTrace().toString();
    }

}

public class JavaScriptInterface {
    Context mContext;
    Intent i;

    /** Instantiate the interface and set the context */
    JavaScriptInterface(Context c, Intent i) {
        mContext = c;
        this.i = i;
    }

    /** Show a toast from the web page */
    public void onComplete(String toast) {
        startActivity(i);
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Die Verfassunggebende Versammlung Ecuadors 2007/08 wurde von Ecuadors Präsident Rafael Correa einberufen, um mit einer neuen ecuadorianischen Verfassung die Neugründung des Landes zu ermöglichen. Sie begann und endete mit Volksabstimmungen. Die erste Volksabstimmung am 15. April 2007 ging um die Frage, ob eine Verfassungsgebende Versammlung einberufen werden soll. Über 80 % der Abstimmenden votierten mit "Ja".

Am 30. September 2007 erfolgte die Wahl der Abgeordneten der Versammlung, bei der erstmals in der ecuadorianischen Geschichte ein Quotengesetz galt, nach dem sich männliche und weibliche Kandidaten auf den Listenplätzen abwechseln müssen.
Die erst im Vorjahr entstandene Partei Alianza PAÍS des Präsidenten erhielt 80 von 130 Sitzen und ließ damit die etablierten Parteien deutlich hinter sich. Neben PAÍS erhielten die vor den Wahlen 2002 entstandenen Parteien PSP (von Lucio Gutiérrez) und PRIAN (von Álvaro Noboa) die meisten Sitze, nämlich 18 bzw. 8. Die etablierten Parteien Ecuadors erlangten nur vergleichsweise geringe Abgeordnetenzahlen. Die konservative Partei Partido Social Cristiano erhielt 5 Sitze, die sozialdemokratische Izquierda Democrática und die linke MPD erhielten jeweils 3 Sitze und die populistische PRE einen Sitz. Zusätzlich entsandten die indigenistische Bewegung Pachakutik (4), die Partei RED (um León Roldós) (4) sowie die Wahlbewegungen UNO (2), Futuro Ya (1) und Honradez Nacional (1, Ximena Bohórquez) jeweils Abgeordnete.

Die Versammlung trat in Montecristi in der Provinz Manabí, dem Geburtsort von Eloy Alfaro, zusammen. Präsident der Versammlung war bis zum 24. Juni 2008 Alberto Acosta (PAÍS), der von Fernando Cordero (PAÍS) abgelöst wurde. Am 24. Juli 2008 wurde die Verfassung in der Verfassunggebenden Versammlung verabschiedet und am 28. September 2008 per Volksabstimmung mit über 60 % der Stimmen angenommen. Es handelt sich um die 20. Verfassung Ecuadors seit der staatlichen Eigenständigkeit im Jahre 1830. Sie trat am 20. Oktober 2008 durch die Veröffentlichung im Gesetzblatt offiziell in Kraft.

Auf Grundlage der neuen Verfassung fanden Präsidentschaftswahl und Wahlen zur Nationalversammlung am 26. April 2009 statt.
Bis zur Konstitution des neuen Parlaments in der Nationalversammlung am 31. Juli 2009 agierte die aus 76 Abgeordneten bestehende Kommission für Gesetzgebung der Verfassunggebenden Versammlung als Legislative Ecuadors. Der Nationalkongress war zu Beginn der Sitzungsperiode der Verfassunggebenden Versammlung in eine unbefristete Sitzungspause verabschiedet worden und wurde nach Inkrafttreten der neuen Verfassung durch die Nationalversammlung ersetzt.
