Brookside Soccer Club's competitive youth leagues are open children ages 7-18. Players receive programming from a professionally trained, experienced coaching staff. Tryouts are in June for the team placement for the annual league – which includes two tournaments and three league seasons (fall, winter and spring). Fall and spring seasons are played through Heartland Soccer Association, one of the largest soccer leagues in the USA. Winter league varies by team of either Futsal, indoor or outdoor soccer. Teams are divisionally divided to offer competitive play and opportunity for development.
Beyond practice, Brookside Soccer Club provides additional training via SAQ (strength, agility and quickness) sessions by athletic trainers at Children's Mercy Hospital's Center for Sports Medicine. Fall and spring outdoor practices are twice weekly at the state of the art turf fields at Swope Soccer Village at 63rd Street and Lewis Road. Winter practices are weekly at TeamWork Sports indoor facility in Waldo. Additional camps and clinics are offered throughout the year and summer.
Brookside Soccer Club goes out of its way to offer quality soccer and coaching that is affordable to all. The club continues to explore sponsorship and fundraising opportunities to offset player costs and grow scholarship funds.

Is My Child & Family Ready For Competitive Soccer?
• Am I, the parent, willing to make the financial commitment of the club fees for a seasonal year?
• Am I, the parent, willing to make the commitment of getting my child to two practices per week 5-10 minutes prior to practice during the season? BSC competitive teams typically practice mid-July through May. Winter season will typically be only one practice per week with off-weeks depending on which winter league a team participates.
• Am I, the parent, willing to make the commitment of getting my child to games 20-30 minutes before scheduled games on the weekend?
• Does my child have time in their schedule? Can he/she balance school, homework, school sports and/or other extracurricular activities to commit to a competitive team?
• Does my child want to play soccer competitively?
• Is my child ready for the higher speed and physical play of competitive soccer?
If you answered Yes to the above, then Brookside Soccer Club competitive is right for you!
BSC competitive teams welcome any recreational or competitive soccer player in the Kansas City metropolitan area who wants to play at some of the highest levels in youth soccer. BSC wants players with the dedication and desire to train and develop their skills.
How Does BSC Form Teams?
Brookside Soccer Club implemented a tiered-team model beginning in the 2015-2016 season. The Club's objective is to place players in the best situation to be successful, as well as challenging them along the way. We want players to build a strong foundation and cohesiveness as they progress through age groups.
While we intend to form winning teams, BSC's greater commitment is in the development and training of our players. BSC's stance is for players to be assigned to teams based on their actual age group. Physiological changes do occur rapidly in certain age groups and we want our players to develop properly, both physically and mentally.
BSC works with the Heartland Soccer Association to position our teams in a challenging division. The goal is not "winning", per se, but the development of our players. A team who dominates every team in their division is not properly challenged in game situations and skills.
• Coaches are tiered assigned by age/gender, i.e. Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, etc.
• The Tier 1 coach receives the first pick of players during tryouts to fill out the best team possible for their age group and assigned division. Players are selected on their skill level, their potential and with the team's synergy in mind. The Tier 2 coaches will then complete their teams, and so on. All coaches within each age group are involved in this process.
• Coaches may provide some opportunities throughout the season for players to guest play on higher-tiered teams as these players show faster development.
Fall and spring practice is at Swope Soccer Village. The coaches arrange for practice times with the BSC scheduler. Competitive teams practice two days per week in addition to their weekly games.
Winter practice moves indoors to TeamWork Sports in Waldo. Most competitive teams practice only one hour on one day per week in the winter, with off-weeks for holidays. Game schedules will depend on the league and session the team chooses for indoor or outdoor soccer or futsal.
What Are Player Age Divisions?
Competitive league age divisions are directed by US Soccer and based on calendar year versus school year. A player cannot be older than the last day of the birth year for the listed age division – must be born on or after January 1 and on or before December 31 of that year. Players can be younger – may choose to "play up" in a higher division as allowed by the club.
If you would like more information on US Soccer recommended rule changes – age division and concussion, listen to World Class Coaching's Tom Mura interview a local soccer leadership panel: Brookside Soccer's Nick Garcia, Kansas Youth Soccer's Chris Duke, Heartland Soccer's Shane Hackett and Sporting KC Academy's Jon Parry.
What Are Team Roster Sizes?
BSC maintain's roster sizes that are optimum for a team to provide for development of our players. BSC competitive team roster size limits are determined by Heartland Soccer Association (HSA) league rules (fall and spring). Heartland's mandated roster limits the number of players who may dress for games. The purpose of this rule is to allow teams to have the ability to have the same amount of players on game days. Current Heartland roster limit sizes for all league games are as follows.
A team manager is a volunteer role of a player's parent. They assist the coach with communication to the team's parents; registration and tournament check-in; game-day processes, such as completing roster cards; and making winter league and practice arrangements. The manager also handles the team's bank account, paying any fees on behalf of the team and making deposits of any checks.
BSC offers a player discount of $200 to the children of team managers. The manager discount is applied directly to the family's account (half in July 2017 and half in April 2018).
Can My Child Play In Both the Recreational and Competitive Leagues?
We realize players who make competitive teams still have friends who play recreational and would like to continue to play with them. Players will be allowed to play on both a competitive and recreational team. In the event of any game or practice conflicts, the competitive team should take precedence.

Steel bone corsets, also called waist trainers, provide good support for most body shapes without the high price of a custom corset.
Costume corsets provide the pretty look of Victorian style corsets but lack the support or quality materials. Underbust corsets are a new trend designed to be worn as outer clothing.
The last option is to sew a Victorian corset yourself with the help of a good reproduction corset sewing pattern and an online class.
These custom-made Victorian corsets, Victorian style corsets, old fashioned corsets, and corset sewing patterns are our favorite choices sold online. Find one that is right for your budget and style.

Marin Čilić Suspended Nine Months For Doping
Croatia's Marin Cilic returns against Cyprus's Marcos Baghdatis on his way to victory in their men's first round match on day one of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships tennis tournament at the All England Club in Wimbledon, southwest London, on June 24, 2013. Cilic won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. AFP PHOTO / GLYN KIRK - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE (Photo credit should read GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images)
Marin Čilić will miss next year's Australian Open after he tested positive for a banned stimulant, the International Tennis Federation has announced.
The Croatian has received a nine-month suspension after he tested positive for the stimulant nikethamide at the BMW Open in Munich in May.
The 24-year-old's ban was backdated to May 1, the date on which he provided the sample, to end at midnight on January 31, 2014.
A statement from the ITF read: "The Independent Tribunal found that Mr Čilić ingested the nikethamide inadvertently as a result of taking the Coramine glucose tablets, and did not intend to enhance his performance in doing so, and that he therefore met the preconditions of Article 10.4 of the Programme, which entitles him to a reduction of the Period of Ineligibility for Specified Substance based on an assessment of his fault."
As well as the ban "it was also determined that Mr Čilić's results at the 2013 BMW Open event should be disqualified, with resulting forfeiture of the ranking points and prize money that he won at those events."
The sample in question was sent to the WADA-accredited laboratory in Montreal, Canada for analysis, where it was found to contain nikethamide, a prohibited substance under section S6 (Stimulants) of the 2013 WADA List of Prohibited Substances and Prohibited Methods, and therefore also prohibited under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (the "Programme").
Čilić was subsequently charged over the doping violation under Article 2.1 although he argued the banned substance was in his system after taking Coramine glucose tablets that had been purchased for him from a pharmacy.
Following the BMW Open, Čilić was knocked out of the French Open in the third round by Viktor Troicki, who coincidentally was banned in July for 18 months for failing to provide a blood sample at the Monte Carlo Masters in April.
He then reached the final at Queen's where he lost to Andy Murray before withdrawing from Wimbledontroicki, where he was seeded 10th, prior to his second-round match against Kenny de Schepper with a knee injury.
Čilić will miss the Australian Open while serving out the latter stages of his ban.

Ever since I moved out of my university dorm and had a place to call my own, one of my favourite things to do is host friends for dinner. I think the origins of this interest comes from watching one of my aunts, who has been the definition of hostess with the mostest for as long as I can remember.
The summers of my childhood were filled with hours spent lounging by her pool with a popsicle in hand, having sleepovers with my cousins in a tent in the backyard, movie nights in the basement, and making jewellery while sitting on blankets in the lush, green back yard. My aunt always had something fun for us to do and staying at her house was like being at the best summer camp ever.
When it came to meals, whether it was a sit-down dinner in the dining room or an outdoor barbecue, they were always stunning – sort of like a photo straight out of a Style at Home magazine. I remember thinking that I wanted to be an awesome hostess "when I grew up", just like her.
Back when I lived in Ontario, I'd have friends over on the regular for food-related gatherings – everything from brunch and dinner to post-run smoothies and girl's nights. I loved the process of preparing recipes for these occasions, shopping for super fresh, vibrant ingredients and figuring out how to lay out the spread in my kitchen. These weren't super fancy or elaborate parties, but that was ok because all we needed was tasty food to be enjoyed along with fabulous conversations.
Since having moved to Vancouver last year, I can't say that much at-home entertaining has been happening. For one, my apartment is tiny and there's nowhere near the amount of space that I used to have. (I'm not complaining though – part of me LOVES having a small living space because it limits the amount of possessions I can acquire.) In addition, there are SO many restaurants here and I've noticed that people tend to do a lot more eating out than dining at each others' homes – at least in my social circles.
Even though hosting others isn't something I've done a ton of lately, I don't see that as a reason not to create beautiful food for myself with the most delicious, high quality ingredients possible. It can be easy to fall into the trap of making the same thing for dinner, day in and day out, especially if it's just yourself that you're cooking for. But our bodies deserve the best, no matter whether we're dining with a crowd or alone, don'tcha think?
With this in mind, today's Shrimp & Quinoa Paella recipe is one that will impress a crowd, yet at the same time, is easy to make and totally doable on a weeknight when you're dining solo. The inspiration for it came from Muir Glen, a company whose canned tomatoes are currently making their debut in Canada.
Muir Glen's tomatoes are organic, free of artificial preservatives and packaged in BPA-free cans. They're picked from the vine at peak ripeness and go from farm to field in 8 hours or less, which means big things for taste by the time they get to your fork. For this recipe I used a simple combo of ground spices along with the Fire-Roasted Diced variety, which created a lovely smoky flavour and made my kitchen smell amazing. (Seriously, I half contemplated calling some friends and demanding that they come over because this was so good!
For the vegans and vegetarians in the house, you can easily make this recipe veggie-friendly by swapping the shrimp out for cooked chickpeas. To do this, skip step 2 in the instructions below and stir the chickpeas into the tomato mixture in step 5. Alternatively, simply up add in a few more of your favourite vegetables – artichokes, zucchini and green beans would all work well. Even without chickpeas, you'll still be getting some protein from the quinoa, as well as plenty of fibre to keep you feeling satisfied.
Cook the quinoa in 2 cups of boiling water on the stove according to package directions. This should take about 10-12 minutes and all liquid should be absorbed in this time.
Mix in the fire roasted tomatoes and diced bell peppers. Stir to incorporate, cooking for another 3 minutes.
Transfer the shrimp back to the skillet along with the cooked quinoa and peas.
After stirring everything together, turn heat to medium and simmer for a final 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the stove and sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving.

Excellent recipe! My son was very happy yesterday 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jenn! You should be fine to go with double the quantities on all ingredients listed. After that, if it looks like the portions are going to be a little small, you can always bulk things out with more veggies. If you do end up adding more veggies, I'd recommend adding a little (as in, maybe 1/2 cup) low sodium broth to the mix and upping the seasonings slightly to taste. I'd love to hear how it turns out for you!

The spectrum or range or continuity of human sexuality was today's show topic with Robyn Ochs. She is a workshop leader, sometimes professor and prolific author on gender identity and sexuality. Her website is here, replete with a link to her most noted book, Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World.
We ran a little overtime. So anyone listening who missed the last eight minutes can hear them here.
We got into the messy, politically related aspects as well as the intended topic. Those are inevitably linked.
She started by describing a workshop exercise she says she has led over 1,000 times. Do listen in to how she gets the participants to define how they have identified their sexuality over time, and then gets everyone to place themselves in relation to the others in the room. There are many I-never-thought-about-that moments and often the surprises of people who define themselves as straight, bi, pansexual, homosexual, asexual and on and on, overlap in how they fit along a continuum of identity. She said the labels thus become less different from each other as they move along the range of descriptions.
To the tricky questions related to the binary concept of straight/gay, she said that both people of all ages are changing perceptions, broadening them, and that those who fear or are confused about the concepts are in for more change. She noted that older people are changing perceptions too. She had little patience for those who use code phrase like lifestyle to imply that a bisexual or homosexual chooses gender identity arbitrarily. She finds it odd that they seem to think that heterosexual-identified people have lives and other people have lifestyles. Instead, everyone has a life, including sexual identity, which may change over time.
Click below to hear her describe the workshop and her insights on that spectrum of sexuality.
Bob Massie just announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat from MA coming up next year. He wants to go up against Sen. Scott Brown who has been filling the term of the late Ted Kennedy. He joined us to speak about himself and how he expects to win the seat.
His campaign website is up and getting populated. His more personal blog, with everything from his economic views to his social activism to philosophy is here. Also, he is a regular contributor to BlueMassGroup.
As a social activist from way back, he has a deep and wide record of accomplishments…supported with Princeton, Yale and Harvard degrees and more. He starts off our show with a quick recitation of everything from his professional experience and education to physical challenges he overcame. He also discusses his 1994 race for MA Lt. Gov. and what the legacy is for his current candidacy.
Listen in as we talk about wide ranges of topics from federal funding to what's right and wrong with Congress as it is to what he offers. He has a few, but only a few areas of agreement with Brown. He tells us what his aims would be in the seat. Massie speaks to how he expects to court voters, raise funds and win next year.

Estes efectuavam reconhecimento aéreo, sendo alvos fáceis para os caças aliados e também para a artilharia terrestre aliada. Devido a ser um distintivo criado na fase final da guerra, apenas uma pequena quantidade de militares receberam esta condecoração.

Ep 49: Jill Heinerth: Underwater Cave Explorer
https://traffic.libsyn.com/theartofexcellence/Jill_Heinerth_Interview.mp3
Jill Heinerth is a cave diver, underwater explorer, writer, photographer, and filmmaker. She has starred on TV series for PBS, National Geographic Channel, and the BBC, and has consulted on movies for directors, including James Cameron. Her new book is titled: Into The Planet: My Life as a Cave Diver.
Fighting off a burglar during college taught her how to deal with challenges in life. Having had this harrowing dance with fear probably saved her life in the long run.
Despite having enormous success as an entrepreneur in the advertising business, she knew in her heart that it wasn't what she was meant to do so she built up the courage to quit and begin her life of adventure under the water.
There's very little margin for error in cave diving. More people die while diving underwater caves than climbing Mt Everest.
Most accidents happen before someone even steps foot in the water. It is the lack of planning and preparation that causes most issues. They are entirely preventable.
There is significant mental preparation. Before each dive, she closes her eyes and walks through all the worst case scenarios and rehearses all of the solutions.
She has the 7R gene which explains much of her risk seeking behavior. She is always seeking new challenges, new adventures.
"Excellence is your willingness to nurture and support the next generation. To ensure that if something's important to you, the people below you eventually move beyond you."
Ep 45: Eduardo Strauch: Andes Mountains plane crash survivor
https://traffic.libsyn.com/theartofexcellence/Eduardo_Strauch_interview.mp3
Eduardo Strauch is an architect and painter living in Montevideo, Uruguay. He is also one of 16 survivors from a 1972 plane crash in the Andes mountains which was charted by an amateur Uruguayan rugby team. He survived 72 treacherous days trapped high up in the mountains. He wrote a book about his experience called Out of the Silence: After the Crash.
Learn how he and 15 others managed to survive for over two months with minimal provisions, subzero temperatures, and thin air which was very difficult to breathe.
Learn how spontaneous meditation helped free his mind and save his life.
Mental strength was as important as physical strength for survival. You had to maintain hope and continue to have positive thoughts and believe that things would eventually work out.
You had to learn how to control your mind in order to do what was needed to survive. "It was essential to strip away the deep associations of the past from our actions and maintain that strict separation to be able to act."
Once they ran out of food, they had to get past age-old societal norms and resort to cannibalism to survive.
"We all occasionally fell into bouts of deep depression, but then the group would notice it and act in support of that person, like a living organism trying to rebuild its own weak cells."
From the very moments following the crash to this day, Eduardo has learned to appreciate the value of life.
"Excellence is to be in peace with oneself and ensure that you are living the life you must live."
Ep 39: Ben Saunders: Extreme Polar Explorer
https://traffic.libsyn.com/theartofexcellence/Ben_Saunders_12.27.18.mp3
Ben Saunders is one of the world's leading polar explorers, and a record-breaking long-distance skier who has covered more than 4,300 miles on foot in the Polar Region. His accomplishments include skiing solo to both the North and South poles, and leading The Scott Expedition, the longest human-powered polar journey in history, a 105-day, 1,800 mile round-trip from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back again.
Hear the remarkable story of how he traveled the equivalent of 69 marathons, the distance from Maine to Miami, in frigid temperatures in near whiteout conditions, over the course of 3.5 months.
Preparation entailed both extreme endurance and extreme weight training. He was able to run a 2:55 marathon and deadlift 485 lbs.
The key to staying motivated was to shorten the focus from the ultimate goal to something that felt achievable whether the end of the day or even the end of an hour.
One of his proudest moments on the journey was to make the call to have food delivered during their return. That moment calling for help was when he matured as a leader as he learned to get priorities straight.
In hindsight, he made the mistake of often living too much in the future, thinking that success was defined by a finish line.
The cliché holds true that the journey is way more important than the destination.
Learn how he evolved from needing external validation to having more of an internal compass driving his motivations.
"Self-belief is a malleable human quality. The more time you spend outside your comfort zone, the stronger it becomes."
"Excellence is having the internal drive to make tomorrow better than today."
Ep. 32: Scott Jurek: Ultrarunning Legend Conquers the Appalachian Trail
https://traffic.libsyn.com/theartofexcellence/Scott_Jurek_interview.mp3
Scott Jurek is widely regarded as one of the greatest runners of all time. He has won most of ultrarunning's elite events including the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times. His most recent accomplishment is his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days. He is a New York Times-bestselling author and his latest book is called North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail.
He averaged nearly 50 miles a day for 46 days to set a new Appalachian Trail speed record.
Watching his mother suffer with multiple sclerosis at a young age gave him the fortitude later in life to fight through the pain and suffering during long runs.
Humans were built for extreme endurance. If you want it badly enough and are willing to endure the suffering, you can run an ultramarathon.
Being adaptable and being able to adjust his mental state on race day was a key ingredient of his winning so many ultra races.
He had lost the passion and drive to really push himself and test his boundaries. Running the Appalachian Trail gave him the spark he needed to rekindle that fire in his belly.
Learn how he fought through excruciating injuries in both legs to keep moving on his way to setting the record.
"Excellence is being the best that you can possibly be. There is no end point. It's something we're always striving for."
Scott Jurek's book: North: Finding My Way While Running the Appalachian Trail https://www.amazon.com/North-Finding-While-Running-Appalachian/dp/0316433799/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1528762039&sr=8-1&keywords=scott+jurek

Ep. 19: Alan Eustace: Record-Setting 26 Mile Free Fall Jump
https://traffic.libsyn.com/theartofexcellence/Alan_Eustace_interview.mp3
Alan Eustace holds the record for highest altitude free fall jump. On October 24, 2016, he jumped from the stratosphere at an altitude of 136,000 feet or about 26 miles. Alan was a Vice President of Engineering and Knowledge for Google and held many other executive roles at other high tech companies prior to Google. He is currently retired and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He had so much confidence in his team and his equipment and so much practice along the way that he had absolutely no fear on the final record-setting jump.
He used scuba diving as inspiration for solving the challenge of surviving in a self-contained system in the stratosphere.
Unlike Felix Baumgartner's Red Bull-sponsored jump which had tons of media and buzz around it, Alan approached the jump more as a science experiment with little fanfare.
Learn how he assembled and oversaw a team of leading experts across multiple fields which were foreign to him at the time including meteorology, ballooning, spacesuit design, environmental systems and high altitude medicine.
There were multiple feats of engineering to enable a safe flight including a specially-designed rogue parachute that could stabilize him during his fall, a spin-free spacesuit and an automatic parachute release.
His wife had him write his own obituary and farewell video to his children so he could understand the gravity of this undertaking.
"Excellence is approaching a problem and trying to find the best possible way through it."

Der Tag der ukrainischen Einheit ist ein Feiertag der Ukraine, der jedes Jahr am 22. Januar – am Tag der Proklamation der Vereinigungsakte der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik und der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik – gefeiert wird, die 1919 stattfand.

Status
Offiziell wird in der Ukraine seit 1999 der Tag der Einheit gefeiert.

Der Feiertag ist in der Ukraine etabliert "… unter Berücksichtigung der großen politischen und historischen Bedeutung der Vereinigung der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik und der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik für die Bildung eines einzigen (vereinigten) ukrainischen Staates …" in Übereinstimmung mit dem Dekret des Präsidenten der Ukraine "Am Tag der Einheit der Ukraine" vom 21. Januar 1999, Nr. 42/99.

An diesem Tag ist es auch üblich, an ein anderes Ereignis zu erinnern, das genau ein Jahr zuvor, am 22. Januar 1918, stattfand – die Annahme des IV. Universals des UZR (Ukrainischer Zentralrat), das die volle Unabhängigkeit der UVR (Ukrainische Volksrepublik) proklamierte.

Für einige Zeit, ab dem 30. Dezember 2011, wurde durch das Dekret des damaligen Präsidenten der Ukraine, Wiktor Janukowytsch, der Tag der Einheit auf offizieller Ebene gestrichen und stattdessen der "Tag der Einheit und Freiheit der Ukraine" eingeführt. Am 13. November 2014 wurde der Feiertag jedoch durch das Dekret des Präsidenten der Ukraine, Petro Poroschenko, wieder aufgenommen.

Geschichte des Feiertages

Die Anfänge der Idee der Einheit
Die Idee der Einheit stammt aus der Vereinigung der alten russischen (hier geht es um Rus, nicht Russland) Länder um den Fürstenthron in Kiew, und ihre philosophischen Wurzeln reichen bis in die Zeit von Byzanz zurück. Jahrhundertelang wurde seine praktische Umsetzung von den ukrainischen Hetmanen Bohdan Chmelnyzkyj, Iwan Masepa, Petro Doroschenko und Pylyp Orlyk durchgeführt. vom 18. bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert, als die ukrainischen Länder zwischen Nachbarstaaten aufgeteilt wurden (Polen, Russland, Rumänien, Österreich-Ungarn), spiegelte sich diese Idee in den Werken der besten heimischen Denker wider, da die territoriale Einheit für die Ukraine äußerst wichtig war, um für ihre nationalen Interessen zu kämpfen.

Vorbereitung der Einigungsakte

Als Ergebnis der Annahme des III. Universals des Ukrainischen Zentralrates am 7. November 1917 wurde die Ukrainische Volksrepublik ausgerufen, die 9 ukrainische Provinzen umfasste. Unter dem Einfluss dieser Ereignisse gründeten Vertreter westukrainischer politischer Parteien im Oktober 1918 in Lwiw den Ukrainischen Nationalrat, und am 19. Oktober desselben Jahres wurde die Gründung der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik proklamiert. Seitdem finden Verhandlungen zwischen den Regierungen der UVR und der WUVR (Westukrainische Volksrepublik) über die Umsetzung der Idee der Einheit statt. Am 1. Dezember 1918 wurde in Fastiw der "Vorbeitrittsvertrag" über die Vereinigung der UVR und der WUVR unterzeichnet, in dem die unerschütterliche Absicht erklärt wurde, so schnell wie möglich einen einzigen Staat zu schaffen. Im Herbst 1918, nach dem Sieg der Revolution in der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie, wurden unabhängige Staaten auf den Fragmenten der Monarchie gebildet: die Tschechoslowakische Republik, die Österreichische Republik, Ungarn sowie (als Folge des bewaffneten Aufstands vom 1. November 1918 in Lwiw und anderen Städten dieser Region) die Westukrainische Volksrepublik, das Königreich der Serben, Kroaten und Slowenen, die Polnische Republik.

Die Regierung der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik – das Staatssekretariat – setzte in ihrer Außenpolitik unter dem Druck der Massen und der ukrainisch-galizischen Armee die Frage der Staatsvereinigung mit der Dnepr-Ukraine an die erste Stelle. Die Erlangung der Staatsvereinigung wurde erstens als Verkörperung des jahrhundertealten Strebens des ukrainischen Volkes nach staatlicher Einheit und zweitens als Mittel zur Vereinigung der Kräfte im Kampf gegen das Eindringen Polens in ukrainisches Land betrachtet.

Der Vorsitzende des ukrainischen Nationalrats, Jewhen Petruschewytsch, warnte jedoch, dass es zu diesem Zeitpunkt unpraktisch sei, sich mit der Ukraine des Hetmans zu vereinigen, da in den vom amerikanischen Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson verkündeten "14 Punkten" die Völker Österreich-Ungarns mit dem Recht auf Selbstbestimmung ausgestattet wurden und Russland zu dieser Zeit als ein einziger Staat betrachtet wurde. So würde eine Vereinigung mit der Hetman-Ukraine bedrohen, dass auch Ostgalizien Teil eines "vereinten Russlands" wird.

Unter den Bedingungen der politischen und diplomatischen Isolation wandte sich die Regierung der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik an demokratische Einheiten in den östlichen Ländern der Ukraine.

Der Ukrainische Nationalrat von Zazbruchanska entsandte seine Delegation zu Verhandlungen mit Hetman Pawlo Skoropadskyj nach Kiew. Nach dem Machtwechsel wurden Verhandlungen mit dem Direktorium geführt. Bereits am 1. Dezember unterzeichneten die Mitglieder des Staatsrates der WUVR, Longin Tsegelsky und D. Levytsky, in Fastiw ein "Vorbeitrittsabkommen" mit dem UVR-Direktorium über die "Vereinigung beider ukrainischer Staaten zu einer staatlichen Einheit". Am 3. Januar 1919 verabschiedete der Ukrainische Nationalrat der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik in der Stadt Stanislaw ein Gesetz über die Vereinigung der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik mit der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik Dnepr zur Volksrepublik. Am 21. Januar 1919 beschloss die Nationalversammlung in Chust, der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik Transkarpatien beizutreten. Am nächsten Tag nahm in Kiew eine sechsunddreißigköpfige Delegation der WUVR an den Feierlichkeiten anlässlich des Einigungsfeiertags teil.

Proklamation der Vereinigung
Die Proklamation der Vereinigung war für 12:00 Uhr am 22. Januar 1919 geplant, d. h. dem ersten Jahrestag der Proklamation des IV. Universals über die volle Unabhängigkeit der Ukraine.

Der 22. Januar wurde zum nationalen und gesetzlichen Feiertag erklärt. Der Tag erwies sich als gut und schön, mit einem leichten Frost. Kiew war mit nationalen blauen und gelben Flaggen geschmückt. Um 9:00 Uhr wurden Gottesdienste in allen Kirchen gefeiert.

Die Hauptfeierlichkeiten zur Verkündigung der Vereinigung fanden auf dem Sophienplatz statt. Am Eingang von der Wladimirskaja-Straße zum Sophienplatz wurde ein Triumphbogen errichtet, der mit alten Wappen geschmückt war. Um genau 12:00 Uhr begann die feierliche Zeremonie der Verkündung der Vereinigungsakte. Bei der Massenversammlung verlas der Botschafter der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik, L. Tsehelsky, das Diplom des Nationalrats "Über die Vereinigung der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik mit der Großen Ostukraine" und überreichte es dem Leiter des Direktoriums, Wolodymyr Wynnytschenko.

Das Mitglied des Direktoriums, Fjodor Shvets, las feierlich das Universalverzeichnis vor:

"… Von nun an verschmelzen Teile einer einzigen Ukraine – Galizien, die Bukowina, Transkarpatien und die Dnepr-Ukraine – seit Jahrhunderten. Jahrhundertealte Träume wurden wahr, für die die besten Söhne der Ukraine lebten und starben. Von nun an gibt es nur noch eine unabhängige Ukrainische Volksrepublik. Von nun an ist das ukrainische Volk durch einen mächtigen Impuls seiner eigenen Kräfte befreit, hat die Möglichkeit, alle Anstrengungen seiner Söhne zu vereinen, um einen untrennbaren, unabhängigen ukrainischen Staat zum Wohle und Glück des ukrainischen Volkes zu schaffen."

Nach der feierlichen Verkündigung der Vereinigung wurde ein Gebetsgottesdienst auf dem Sophienplatz abgehalten und dann eine Militärparade unter der Leitung von Oberst Ivan Chmola. Die Parade wurde von Oberst Eugene Konovalets moderiert.

Am 22. Januar 1919 fand in Kiew auf dem Sofiyska-Platz ("Sophienplatz") eine feierliche Versammlung statt, bei der der Akt der Vereinigung der ukrainischen Länder verkündet wurde, der vom Universal über die Vereinigung der UVR und WUVR zu einer einzigen Großukraine bestätigt wurde. Sie beanspruchte die Vereinigung der beiden damaligen Staaten, die auf den Trümmern des russischen und österreichisch-ungarischen Reiches auftauchten, zu einem einzigen vereinten ukrainischen Staat, der seitdem zum Garanten der nationalen Interessen der Ukrainer geworden ist. Das jahrhundertelang zerrissene ukrainische Volk wurde aus der Gefangenschaft befreit und auf seinem Land in einem einzigen ukrainischen Staat vereint.

Die Vereinigungsakte war historisch tief bestimmt und basierte auf dem Urtraum des ukrainischen Volkes von einem unabhängigen, vereinten Nationalstaat. Es wurde zu einer kraftvollen Manifestation des Willens der Ukrainer zur ethnischen und territorialen Konsolidierung, zum Beweis ihrer Selbstbestimmung, zur Bildung einer politischen Nation. Zum ersten Mal seit 600 Jahren wurde es ein echter Schritt zur Vereinigung der ukrainischen Länder, der weitere nationale und politische Prozesse in der Ukraine beeinflusste.

Am nächsten Tag, dem 23. Januar 1919, begann der Arbeitskongress der Ukraine, der als gesamtukrainisches Parlament dienen sollte. Der Vereinigungsakt wurde von der höchsten gesetzgebenden Körperschaft der Ukraine genehmigt. Auf der Grundlage dieser Beschlüsse wurde die Westukrainische Volksrepublik in Westregion der UVR (WR UVR) umbenannt. Das einzige Staatsemblem war ein Dreizack anstelle des zuvor für die WUVR zugelassenen goldenen Löwen auf blauer Leinwand. Gleichzeitig wurde die Fusion von Regierungen, Armeen, Gesetzgebern der UVR und WUVR bis zur Einberufung der verfassungsgebenden Versammlung der vereinigten Ukraine verschoben, wie es der Beschluss des ukrainischen Nationalrats vom 3. Januar vorsah.

Zwischenkriegszeit
Die Vereinigung der ukrainischen Länder erfolgte rechtlich und politisch. Die staatliche Fusion fand jedoch nicht statt. Daher kümmerten sich die Regierungen und das militärische Kommando der WUVR und der UVR vor der Tatsache der militärischen Katastrophe im Herbst 1919 und 1920 in erster Linie um ihre regionalen Interessen. Dies zeigte sich deutlich, nachdem die Vertreter der galicischen Armee einseitig, ohne die Meinung der UVR-Regierung zu berücksichtigen, am 6. November 1919 den Vertrag von Zyatkiv mit der Freiwilligenarmee über die Einstellung der Feindseligkeiten zwischen der galicischen Armee und den Kräften der Weißen Bewegung, den Abschluss eines Militärbündnisses zwischen diesen Kräften und die Verlegung der galicischen Armee zur Verfügung von General Denikin unterzeichneten. Diese Vereinbarungen wurden am 17. November 1919 in Odessa mit der Führung des Gebiets Noworossijsk der Allsowjetischen Union der Volkskommissare erneut genehmigt, und der Vertrag wurde am 19. November in Winniza ratifiziert, woraufhin er umgesetzt wurde. Galizien, Cholmshchyna, Podlachien und West-Wolhynien (insbesondere die Komitate Riwne, Dubno und ein Teil von Kremenez) wurden an Polen übertragen.

Die Aufteilung der ukrainischen Gebiete zwischen den Bolschewiki und der Republik Polen unter dem Vertrag von Riga sowie das Königreich Rumänien (Vertrag von Saint-Germain (1919), das Bessarabische Protokoll), die Tschechoslowakische Republik (Vertrag von Trianon) verschoben die Wiedervereinigung aller ukrainischen Länder erneut auf unbestimmte Zeit. Zum Teil fand sie erst im September 1939 statt, aber nicht als Verkörperung der jahrhundertealten Bestrebungen des ukrainischen Volkes, sondern als Ergebnis einer geheimen sowjetisch-deutschen Verschwörung vom 23. August 1939 über Einflusssphären sowie eines Spiels mit den patriotischen Gefühlen der Bevölkerung der Westukraine. Die Hoffnungen der Menschen erfüllten sich nicht. "Das Fest der Freiheit, das aus dem Osten kam", wurde für die Bevölkerung zum grausamen Alltag.

Diese Verbindung erwies sich als zerbrechlich, und bald verfügte die Geschichte, dass bestimmte Teile der ukrainischen Länder wieder Teil verschiedener Staaten wurden. Und die Methoden, mit denen die neue Vereinigung von "Osten" und "Westen" 1939 durchgeführt wurden, hinterließen unverheilte Wunden in den Köpfen von Millionen Ukrainern.

Die erste offizielle Feier der Einheit
Am 22. Januar 1939 wurde zum ersten Mal seit 20 Jahren der Feiertag der Einheit auf offizieller Ebene feierlich begangen. Es geschah damals in der Karpatenukraine (Chust) – der autonomen Republik der Tschechoslowakischen Republik. Es war ein guter Grund, die Transkarpaten an den Willen zu erinnern, der auf dem Kongress der Nationalversammlung der Ukrainer in Chust am 21. Januar 1919 über den Beitritt Transkarpatiens zur Ukrainischen Volksrepublik mit seiner Hauptstadt Kiew zum Ausdruck gebracht wurde, und damit sein Programm des Aufbaus des ukrainischen Staates auf der Grundlage des "Transkarpatischen Piemont" zu legitimieren.

Es war nicht nur eine Demonstration, sondern die größte Demonstration der lokalen Bevölkerung seit 20 Jahren der Zugehörigkeit der Region zur Tschechoslowakei mit der Teilnahme von 30.000 Menschen. Menschen, die aus der ganzen Region in die Hauptstadt der Karpatenukraine kamen.

Es ist symbolisch, dass Transkarpatien in die nächste Seite in der Geschichte des Tages der Einheit der Ukraine eintrat: Aufgrund der kommunistischen Unkenntnis der Geschichte der Ukraine war es 1946 am 22. Januar, dass die Werchowna Rada der Ukrainischen SSR Transkarpatien in die Ukrainische SSR einbezog.

Menschenkette 1990
Am 21. Januar 1990 organisierten patriotische Kräfte eine "lebendige Kette" zwischen Kiew, Lwiw und Iwano-Frankiwsk als Symbol der geistigen Einheit der Menschen in den östlichen und westlichen Ländern der Ukraine. Der Hauptkanal einer durchgehenden Kette begann in Iwano-Frankiwsk vom Zentralen Volkshaus (Schewtschenka-Straße 1) und erstreckte sich bis Stryj, wo sich ein kleiner Zweig einzelner Teilnehmer aus transkarpatischer Richtung zusammenschloss. Von Stryi ging ein lebender Kette nach Lemberg, von dort nach Ternopil. Dann führte die Route durch Riwne, Schytomyr und zum Sofiyska-Platz in Kiew. Nach verschiedenen Schätzungen nahmen 0,5 bis 3 Millionen Ukrainer an der Aktion teil. Ebenfalls an diesem Tag fand in Charkiw eine Aktion zur Unterstützung der "Living Chain" statt.

Menschenkette in den 2000er Jahren

In den späten 2000er Jahren begann die Tradition der Schaffung von "lebenden Ketten", die die Einheit des ukrainischen Volkes symbolisieren, wiederzubeleben. In den Jahren 2008–2011 wurden in Kiew solche "Ketten" auf der Patonbrücke gebildet. So wurden das rechte und linke Ufer des Dnepr symbolisch vereint. Der Hauptorganisator dieser Aktion war die Bruderschaft der Kosaken Combat Custom "Spas". Die Aktion erreichte 2011 ihr größtes Ausmaß, als mehr als 1000 Teilnehmer zur Patonbrücke kamen. In diesem Jahr schlossen sich öffentliche Organisationen wie Rebuff, Young Education, die National Alliance, der Youth Nationalist Congress und der studentische Tourismusclub "Skythen" von KNEU der Organisation der Aktion an. Am 22. Januar 2011 wurde die "lebende Kette" in mehr als 20 Städten der Ukraine gebildet. So bildeten in Lwiw etwa 5000 Menschen eine "lebende Kette" vom Denkmal für Taras Schewtschenko bis zum Denkmal für Stepan Bandera.

Temporäre Änderungen seit 2011
Am 30. Dezember 2011 erließ der Präsident der Ukraine, Wiktor Janukowytsch, ein Dekret, mit dem das Dekret von Präsident Wiktor Juschtschenko aus dem Jahr 2005 über die Einführung des Tages der Freiheit am 22. November (der den Ereignissen der Orangen Revolution gewidmet ist) und das Dekret von Präsident Leonid Kutschma aus dem Jahr 1999 über die Einführung des Tages der Einheit der Ukraine am 22. Januar aufgehoben wurde, gleichzeitig mit der Ankündigung des 22. Januar als Tag der Einheit und Freiheit der Ukraine. So feierte die Ukraine offiziell am 22. Januar in den Jahren 2012, 2013 und 2014 den Tag der Einheit und Freiheit der Ukraine.

Offizielle Restaurierung
Durch das Dekret des Präsidenten der Ukraine Nr. 871/2014 "Am Tag der Einheit der Ukraine" wurde die Feier des Feiertages offiziell wiederhergestellt und der Tag der Einheit und Freiheit der Ukraine wurde abgesagt. Die Wiederherstellung erfolgte jedoch nicht durch die Aktualisierung des Dekrets Nr. 42 vom 21. Januar 1999, das von Janukowytsch abgeschafft wurde, sondern durch ein neues Dekret. Ihm zufolge wird der Feiertag "… am Tag der Proklamation der Vereinigungsakte der Ukrainischen Volksrepublik und der Westukrainischen Volksrepublik im Jahr 1919 …" begangen.

Der Wert des Tages der Einheit
Jahrhundertelang vereinte sich ein zerrissenes ukrainisches Volk auf seinem Land in einem einzigen ukrainischen Staat – die Dnepr-Region verließ das Russische Reich und die Westukraine – von der österreichisch-ungarischen Monarchie.

Der Akt der Wiedervereinigung, der Vereinigung der beiden Ukrainen war eher ein symbolisches Zeichen des Wunsches nach Einheit, denn es gab damals keine Gemeinschaft in der Führung des Landes. Die Ukraine, eingeklemmt zwischen zwei mächtigen Kräften – der Entente aus dem Süden und dem Bolschewismus aus dem Norden – hatte nicht die Kraft zu kämpfen. Die Armee zerstreute sich, Verwirrung breitete sich aus. Unter solchen Umständen blieb ein Ereignis, das große ideologische Bedeutung hatte, fast unbemerkt: der Feiertag der Einheit der Ukraine. Am 22. Januar 1919 wurde auf dem Sofiyska-Platz die Vereinigung der UVR und der WUVR proklamiert … Aber unter dem Druck unbefriedigender Ereignisse war der Feiertag trocken und ruhig.

How many Kilodebye make 1 zC·m?
1 zC·m = 299 792.458 178 09 Kilodebye [kD] - Measurement calculator that can be used to convert zC·m to Kilodebye, among others.
Convert zC·m to Kilodebye (zC·m to kD):
Choose the right category from the selection list, in this case 'Electric dipole moment'.
From the selection list, choose the unit that corresponds to the value you want to convert, in this case 'zC·m'.
Finally choose the unit you want the value to be converted to, in this case 'Kilodebye [kD]'.
With this calculator, it is possible to enter the value to be converted together with the original measurement unit; for example, '52 zC·m'. In so doing, either the full name of the unit or its abbreviation can be used. Then, the calculator determines the category of the measurement unit of measure that is to be converted, in this case 'Electric dipole moment'. After that, it converts the entered value into all of the appropriate units known to it. In the resulting list, you will be sure also to find the conversion you originally sought. Alternatively, the value to be converted can be entered as follows: '79 zC·m to kD' or '43 zC·m into kD' or '95 zC·m -> Kilodebye' or '81 zC·m = kD' or '69 zC·m to Kilodebye' or '81 zC·m into Kilodebye'. For this alternative, the calculator also figures out immediately into which unit the original value is specifically to be converted. Regardless which of these possibilities one uses, it saves one the cumbersome search for the appropriate listing in long selection lists with myriad categories and countless supported units. All of that is taken over for us by the calculator and it gets the job done in a fraction of a second.
Furthermore, the calculator makes it possible to use mathematical expressions. As a result, not only can numbers be reckoned with one another, such as, for example, '(2 * 91) zC·m'. But different units of measurement can also be coupled with one another directly in the conversion. That could, for example, look like this: '52 zC·m + 156 Kilodebye' or '23mm x 87cm x 94dm = ? cm^3'. The units of measure combined in this way naturally have to fit together and make sense in the combination in question.
If a check mark has been placed next to 'Numbers in scientific notation', the answer will appear as an exponential. For example, 8.844 357 450 380 5×1026. For this form of presentation, the number will be segmented into an exponent, here 26, and the actual number, here 8.844 357 450 380 5. For devices on which the possibilities for displaying numbers are limited, such as for example, pocket calculators, one also finds the way of writing numbers as 8.844 357 450 380 5E+26. In particular, this makes very large and very small numbers easier to read. If a check mark has not been placed at this spot, then the result is given in the customary way of writing numbers. For the above example, it would then look like this: 884 435 745 038 050 000 000 000 000. Independent of the presentation of the results, the maximum precision of this calculator is 14 places. That should be precise enough for most applications.

Rare Albino Gray Whale with Calf
By Charmaine Coimbra on March 8, 2016 • ( 0 )
Meet Gallon of Milk, one of the most beautiful whales on Earth. Named for her bright, milky hue, the incredibly rare albino grey whale was spotted by marine biologists off Mexico's Pacific coast over the weekend, flanked by her much smaller and darker calf. Gallon of Milk has not been seen since 2009.
Spotted as part of the seventh annual whale census conducted by the Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp), Gallon of Milk has kept herself pretty well hidden, despite the luminous glow of her skin that cuts through the surface of the ocean in the footage above.
"This specimen was observed for the first time during the 2008-2009 season as a whale calf with the albino characteristics for which it was named," Conanp explains.
"In the recent sighting, this time in the area known as Alambre Island in the Ojo de Liebre Lagoon, Gallon of Milk was accompanied by a calf that was completely grey, which must mean she has become a mother for the first time."
In the wild, albino individuals are rare on land, they're even more rare at sea, as Laura Geggel reports for Live Science. It occurs in people and animals with a genetic predisposition to lack the melanin pigment – they usually have to inherit recessive genes from both of their parents to be born with albinism, or in rare cases, the recessive genes from just one parent can be enough.
While on land, albino animals fare quite poorly in the wild because that bright white colouring is like a beacon to hungry predators, for very large marine mammals like Gallon of Milk, it's not yet clear just how disadvantaged they are by their more obvious colouring.
With her enormous size, Gallon of Milk might not have too many predators to worry about, but research has shown that she's likely dealing with issues such as reduced heat absorption in colder waters, increased sensitivity to sunlight, and impaired visual communication.
"Probably because of their rarity, researchers haven't publicly concluded whether these albino whales share the same threats as their land-bound counterparts," Story Hinckley from the Christian Science Monitor explains. "Today, the main predators of grey whales are orcas."
Gallon of Milk isn't the only albino whale to capture our hearts – Australia's own Migaloo, an albino humpback whale, makes the occasional appearance off the coast of Botany Bay in Sydney.

Ring any bells? Do you know who is behind spate of doorbell thefts?
Fed-up neighbours in Ravenswood have been on the receiving end of an unusual version of knock-down ginger - with nuisance thieves ringing their bells before making off with them.
At least 20 people in the area of have reported being victim to the door bell thieves in recent weeks, with the first of the spate of thefts taking place before Christmas.
Victims say the doorbell thefts are ringing the bells first, before prising them off.
Police say they have recently had reports of thefts of doorbells from Mansbrook Boulevard, Huckleberry Crescent and Felixstowe Road.
Stella Cheung, who lives in Ravenswood, spoke of how she was alone downstairs watching television when the doorbell rang continuously.
"I felt it was very unusual," she said.
Magdalena Czajkowska had her doorbell taken by the thieves on Saturday afternoon.
She said: "It made me really angry because it really scared my son. Just before the incident I noticed two teenagers on their bikes near my door, then my doorbell went off a few times.
Another Ravenswood resident, who did not want to be named, said he caught a doorbell stealing culprit in the act.
He saw video footage of the thief trying to pull it off the base on his Ring doorbell, which has a built-in camera.
He said: "Initially I thought he wanted to push the bell and run just for fun. I then saw on the Ravenswood Facebook page that other people have had theirs stolen.
"I realised upon reviewing the video it that they were actually trying to remove it, not to push the button.
"Theft, even if it is not for profit is completely unacceptable.
Others have reported finding doorbells in car ports, outside people's homes and sometimes in groups of five or six.
Anyone with information about the doorbell thefts should call Suffolk police on 101.
