Barbados is an island country in the West Indies. This Caribbean Island gained its independence from Britain in 1966 and enjoys a pleasant climate throughout much of the year. The main rainfall occurs betwe Read More Show Less
n May to October and it may be affected by hurricanes along with many other Caribbean countries during September or October. The tourism facilities are well developed and Barbadian English is the main spoken language.
The level of street crime is low but tourists are encouraged to maintain a close eye on personal processions and to use the hotel safety boxes for any particular valuables. Take care when walking through crowded market places, using a body pouch for your belongings. Ask advice before walking along deserted beaches at nighttime. If necessary, use an authorised taxi at all times to and from nightclubs.
Health care facilities throughout the main tourist regions are good but if travelling around the island you should be aware that these facilities are less developed. It is wise to ensure that you carry sufficient personal medication for the duration of your trip though medical supplies within Barbados are usually excellent.
The traffic in Barbados travels on the left side of the road and generally the infrastructure is well maintained along the tourist routes. Nevertheless, hiring cars or mopeds is usually not recommended due to the high risk of accidents. Hiring a taxi is usually a safer option.
Many countries (including Barbados) have strict rules regarding the possession of illegal drugs. Never carry any item for another individual and always make sure your own personal medications are well marked at all times. Sometimes it is wise to have an official letter from your prescribing doctor outlining the reason for your medication.
As always when abroad, make sure you take heed of local advice before swimming in the Caribbean. Strong currents can occur and occasionally passing cruise ships or tankers may pollute the sea. Never swim alone, away from the main tourist resorts or soon after a meal. Take care to watch children at all times even around the hotel swimming pools. If planning to undertake water sports while abroad make sure your travel insurance is sufficient and always check that the company you use has well maintained equipment and that good safety procedures are in place. Talking to other tourists or the hotel representative before booking will help give you a clearer picture of the facilities on offer.
Sun Exposure & Dehydration
The temperature in Barbados is generally similar throughout the year with levels between 20 to 30C at most times. Sun exposure most commonly occurs in those who do not cover up sufficiently and particularly if asleep beside the pool, exhausted due to jet lag, soon after arrival. Take care that children are kept cool, drink plenty of fluids and take extra salt in their diet (crisps, salted biscuits etc) to help overcome these effects.
The level of food hygiene in the main tourist resorts is high but care should be taken with regard to the consumption of seafood. Contamination of fish and shellfish has been reported in the past. Ciguatera poisoning associated with consumption of snappers, parrot fish, mackerel, moray eels and barracudas has been reported. Water hygiene is usually excellent though drinking bottled water is usually a wise precaution while abroad.
Rabies risks
Barbados has been rabies free for over 150 years. Nevertheless, avoiding animal bites is still a wise option and particularly take care that young children do not befriend any animals including birds, monkeys, cats and dogs.
Malaria & Mosquito Bites
Malaria transmission does not occur within the West Indies including Barbados. However other mosquito borne diseases such as Dengue Fever can be a significant problem. Mosquitoes that tend to bite in urban areas during the daylight hours transmit this disease and so care against insect bites is encouraged throughout the whole day.
Vaccinations for Barbados
There are no vaccines required for entry to Barbados from Ireland. However, most tourists would be encouraged to consider cover against the following:
Tetanus (childhood booster)
Typhoid (food & water borne)
Hepatitis A (food & water borne)
Those planning a more extensive trip or undertaking adventure sports should also consider cover against Hepatitis B.
The majority of tourists to Barbados will enjoy a healthy time on the island with little reason for concern providing they follow some simple commonsense rules regarding seafood consumption, sun exposure and dehydration.

Cases of Syphilis among pregnant women in Barbados reported to be increasing
Disease Syphilis Barbados - 11 months ago
Date: Fri 17 Aug 2018
<http://outbreaknewstoday.com/barbados-reports-syphilis-increase-pregnant-women-68618/>
Barbados health officials are reporting an increase in syphilis in pregnant women in recent years. The health ministry is now seeing an abnormally high rate of syphilis in pregnant women and, by extension, an increase in the number of babies born at risk for congenital syphilis.
Statistics show a rise from the average one or 2 cases a year of syphilis in pregnant women to 17 in 2016. According to the Ministry official, preliminary analyses from 2017 show a similarly high rate.
Dr. Anton Best, senior medical officer of health with responsibility for the HIV/STI programme, said that effective prevention and detection of congenital syphilis depends on the identification of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) in pregnant women. He noted that the Ministry of Health and Wellness' guidelines make it clear that all pregnant women should be offered a screening test for syphilis at booking and at 28 weeks gestation.
[The number of syphilis cases in Barbados was reported to have started to increase in 2012, from 24 in 2011 to 41 in 2012 and to 112 in 2013, and then to have stabilized in 2014 (100 cases), 2015, and 2016 (<http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/98007/stis-major-concern-ministry-health>). 72 percent of new syphilis cases reportedly occurred in men between the ages of 15 and 49 years old, with the average age being 34; more than 95 percent of pregnant women were screened for syphilis during pregnancy, and no increase in syphilis cases in pregnant women occurred during a 4-year study (2011-2014), with only one case of syphilis being transmitted through birth in 2014 (<https://caribbeannewsservice.com/now/syphilis-outbreak-in-barbados/>).
However, the news report above says that, although only one or 2 cases a year of syphilis occurred in pregnant women previously, 17 cases occurred in 2016, and a similar number occurred in 2017, but we are not given the number treated or outcome of these pregnancies.
Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete _Treponema pallidum_. Transmission from mother to fetus occurs via the bloodstream during maternal spirochetal infection. Transmission may also occur during delivery if maternal genital lesions are present. Late abortion, stillbirth, and neonatal death may result from congenital infection in untreated pregnancies. Among survivors, manifestations that develop in the 1st 2 years of life are called "early" and are similar to adult secondary syphilis; manifestations that develop after age 2 years are called "late" and include tooth abnormalities (Hutchinson teeth), bone changes (saber shins), "Clutton's joints" (bilateral painless swelling of the knee joints), neurological involvement, blindness, and deafness.
Control of congenital syphilis is achieved by antenatal screening and treatment of mothers who are infected. Routine serologic screening should be done at the 1st prenatal visit in all pregnant women, and, in communities and populations in which the risk for congenital syphilis is high, serologic testing and a sexual history also should be obtained at 28 weeks gestation and at delivery. Groups at high risk include uninsured women, women living in poverty, sex workers, illicit drug users, women diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases, and those living in communities with high syphilis morbidity (<http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstf09/syphilis/syphpgsum.htm>). No mother or neonate should leave the hospital without maternal serologic status having been documented at least once during pregnancy and, if the mother is considered high risk, also at delivery.
Barbados, with a population of 277 821 residents, is a sovereign country and the easternmost island in the Caribbean region of North America; its capital and largest city is Bridgetown (<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbados>).

Barbados confirms three Zika cases in pregnant women
Disease Zika Virus Barbados - 3 years ago
Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 20:01:58 +0100
Miami, Feb 9, 2016 (AFP) - Barbados on Tuesday confirmed three cases of Zika in pregnant women, bringing to seven the number of people on the Caribbean island with the virus, which is believed to be linked to birth defects. The women will be given specialized obstetric care, the Ministry of Health said in a statement. The new cases were announced on the Barbados government information services Facebook page.
Zika, a primarily mosquito-borne illness, has spread rapidly through Latin America and the Caribbean. It generally causes mild symptoms but has been blamed for a rapid rise in the number of children born with microcephaly -- abnormally small heads and brains. Barbados said that link has not been confirmed. "The situation is still evolving and information is being updated regularly," the Ministry of Health said. The World Health Organization has declared a global medical emergency to combat Zika and individual countries and regions are beginning to mobilize. With no cure or vaccine for the virus, some countries have taken the extraordinary step of urging women to delay getting pregnant.
According to the Pan-American Health Organization, 26 countries have confirmed cases, spanning 7,000 kilometres (4,400 miles) from Mexico to Paraguay. The hardest hit country is Brazil, which hosts the Summer Olympics starting in August. Brazil has warned pregnant women not to travel there but Games organizers have said by the time the Olympics start, the main mosquito season will be over and they don't expect the illness to affect the sporting extravaganza.

Natural Disaster Barbados - 5 years ago
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:17:11 +0100 (MET)
WASHINGTON, Feb 18, 2014 (AFP) - An earthquake measuring 6.7 struck Tuesday in the Caribbean near the island of Barbados, the US Geological Survey said. The quake hit at 0927 GMT about 170 kilometers (110 miles) northeast of the town of Bathsheba on Barbados, the USGS said. It struck at a depth of 172 kilometers (11 miles). There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries in Barbados media outlets. The Daily Nation newspaper said people called radio stations to report the quake.
Tropical Storm Chantal heads towards the Caribbean
Climate Changes Barbados - 6 years ago
Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 11:53:25 +0200 (METDST)
MIAMI, United States, July 08, 2013 (AFP) - Tropical Storm Chantal, which formed in the Atlantic overnight, headed towards the Caribbean Sea on Monday, the US National Hurricane Center reported. At 0900 GMT Chantal was located about 1,130 kilometers (705 miles) east of Barbados packing maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour, the NHC said.
The storm is moving in a northwesterly direction at 43 kilometers per hour. If it continues on its current path it will reach southern Puerto Rico and the island of Hispaniola -- shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti -- on Wednesday or Thursday, according to the NHC forecast. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, as well as for Barbados, Dominica and Santa Lucia, the NHC said.
Chantal is expected to strengthen during the next 48 hours and "produce rain accumulations of two to four inches over the Leeward and Windward Islands, with maximum amounts of six inches possible," the NHC said. Poverty-stricken Haiti, which is still recovering from a devastating earthquake in January 2010, is especially prone to landslides triggered by heavy rain.
Tropical storm Ernesto nears Barbados
Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 06:28:26 +0200 (METDST)
MIAMI, Aug 3, 2012 (AFP) - Tropical storm Ernesto, the fifth of the Atlantic hurricane season, threatened Barbados and the Windward Islands Friday as it advanced across the Atlantic with winds of 85 kilometers per hour.
At 0300 GMT, the storm's center was 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of Barbados and 295 kilometers (185 miles) east of St Lucia, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. "The center of Ernesto should pass near Barbados later tonight, be near the northern Windward Islands by early Friday and emerge over the eastern Caribbean sea by Friday afternoon," the center said. It said tropical storm warnings were up in Barbados, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, St Lucia, Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Ernesto formed on Thursday from a tropical depression, becoming the fifth tropical storm of the current hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30. The storm was expected to strengthen somewhat over the next two days, the center said. US weather forecasters have said they expect this to be a relatively mild hurricane season, with nine to 15 topical storms and between four and eight hurricanes.

Searching the Internet for information has replaced many other information sources. Printed road maps, dictionaries and encyclopedias seldom get used anymore. We simply punch our request into a search engine and let it find it for us. However, in spite of the convenience, we often get frustrated with our online information gathering friends.
Mega results. – This is the biggest complaint. We get way more information pulled up than we can possibly look at and the exact piece of information we need is buried somewhere among those tens of thousands of hits you found for our query. It can be quite overwhelming.
Unrelated results. When we search for 'bear rugs', we don't want to have to look through sites that about bear habitat and men's hairpieces. We would like the sites to be more specific.
Ranking. Why can't the sites with the most pertinent information to the search show up on top? Instead we get the most popular or the one with the best marketing agent, and the site with the most relevant information is on page 10.
SEO manipulation. This probably relates to number three above. With everyone vying to get on that first page listing, the SEO gurus that know how to manipulate the system get their clients on top, whether they really should be or not.
Paid advertisers. When search engines place their paid advertisers at the top of the page and force the user to look further down to find the actually search results, users get very frustrated. Every second counts these days, and having to scroll down for the results can be very annoying.
Outdated Information. This may be the fault of the people posting the information, not the search engines, but it still is a frustration issue. You find old, outdated information for companies coming to the top of the list, instead of newer information that is also available on the web.
Too many variations. The variations that result between searching the different search engines is also confusing to the end user. Why is a website the first ranking on Google and way down the list on Yahoo?
Dead links. Growls and cuss words are being expressed around the world when people click on a search result and then find that the link no longer exists. Again, precious seconds are being wasted with non-existent results.
Word choices. The difficulty of choosing the right word combination to achieve the results that you're looking for is a frequent cause of irritation. One word group brings up too broad of a list and another one narrows it too far. How can we know what to type in?
Time consumption. The time spent trying to find the information we want often takes much longer than we anticipate. What we thought would be a two-minute search can turn into twenty minutes without even realizing it.
Search engines, like much of the Internet, are received within a love/hate relationship by those using them and also by many of those trying to win their marketing assistance.

Unfortunately, money in politics is an insidious thing - and a loophole in our campaign finance system was taken advantage of with money going to existing or new 527 groups with the sole purpose of influencing the election.

In fact, corporate and union moneys go overwhelmingly to incumbents, so limiting that money, as Congress did in the campaign finance law, may be the single most self-denying thing that Congress has ever done.
Actually criminal sanctions that are given could be up to five years for violating the rules and regulations under the campaign finance reform. This is like the Alien and Sedition Act of years and years ago, decades ago.

The reason that minorities and women don't have a better shot at getting elected to the Senate or to statewide office is because the campaign finance rules are so skewed as to make it very difficult for non-traditional candidates to raise the money necessary to get elected.

And I think it's a prudent, responsible way, given the scale of the emergency, the scale of the damage still facing America, that we finance these additional support for the unemployed as well as the support for small business.

Seduction Tips from Scheherazade
By Karen Salmansohn
Seduction Tip 1 (in bold italics so you recognize it is crucial to remember): If you want to be a man's Princess Charming, you MUST do more than work on tightening your buns or boosting up your boobs! You MUST tap into what I call "The Scheherazade Effect."
Remember the tale of Scheherazade and her 1,001 nights? Scheherazade was absolutely a Princess Charming who knew how to grab and stimulate her king's soul. Voilà! The CliffsNotes on Scheherazade:
There once was a king who got very bored with the women in his life very quickly. He would marry a new virgin, "shtup" her, then send her pretty self away pretty much immediately...to be beheaded. Talk about a bad breakup, huh? And talk about a King Harming, huh? Anyway, this king killed thousands of women by the time he finally met the enchantingly different Scheherazade. What made Scheherazade enchantingly different? Scheherazade loved to read books and had lots of fascinating ideas and interests to share. Wisely educated in morality and kindness, she had a passion for poetry, philosophy, sciences and arts. She kept the king on the edge of his bed—not with mere alluring sexual positions—but with alluring stories to be told, each more exciting than the next. And so the king kept Scheherazade alive—eagerly anticipating each new tale—until, lo and behold, 1,001 adventurous nights passed—along with three sons—and the king not only learned to love Scheherazade, but he made her his queen. Talk about living happily ever after, huh?
The lesson learned? It's very seductive to a man when you, as a full-bodied and full souled woman, have passions in your life you can share to keep him inspired, titillated, growing and thriving.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has delayed justice to more than 100,000 student borrowers who have been defrauded by fake colleges.
The Borrower Defense Rule, which former President Barack Obama's administration implemented near the end of his presidency in 2016, allows for student debt to be forgiven for students who took out loans for schools that were later found to be fraudulent, like Corinthian Colleges and Trump University.
Five months ago, a federal court ordered DeVos to forgive debts incurred by hundreds of thousands of defrauded borrowers. However, those loans are still in place as of this writing.
According to CNN, the most recent data available, which is between June and September of 2018, shows that of the more than 200,000 people who applied for debt relief under the Borrower Defense Rule, only 48,000 were granted relief. 9,000 others were denied, and the remainder of those who applied are still in limbo. An additional 35,000 people applied for relief during that time period, but no other applications were processed.
DeVos' decision in 2017 to block the implementation of the Borrower Defense Rule was challenged by 18 state attorneys general, as well as Karl Racine, the attorney general for Washington, DC.
The National Student Legal Defense Network sued DeVos' agency last year over its continued efforts to collect on federal loans taken out by students who were defrauded by shady for-profit colleges that have since been closed. As a Brookings Institution report found in October of last year, Secretary DeVos has consistently sided with the for-profit college industry over defrauded students on multiple occasions, leaving borrowers with not only a useless degree, but with tens of thousands of dollars in debt that they're unable to repay.

As mentioned previously, ezmlm commands are put into the ADDRESS. To subscribe to 'mailinglist@example.org', send an (empty) message to 'mailinglist-subscribe@example.org'. ezmlm will send a confirmation request back to you. To confirm your subscription, just reply to the 'Reply-To:' address. Usually, the "reply" function of your mail program will do this. When ezmlm receives your confirmation, it will add your address to the subscriber database and send you a message to tell you that you are a subscriber. If your mail program supports it, you may be able to just click on the address in the message.
The confirmation is used so that only you (and the list administrator) can add/remove your address from the list of subscribers.
Sometimes, you may want to subscribe an address other than the one you are sending from. Let's say you're sitting at 'john@example.net' and that all your mail is forwarded here from 'harold@example.com' (when you are not in the office). You'd like 'harold@example.com' to be the subscriber (so that you get the messages at work). To do this, send mail to: 'mailinglist-subscribe-harold=example.com@example.org'. ezmlm will send the confirmation request to 'harold@example.com' which will be forwarded and reach you at 'john@example.net'. When you reply, 'harold@example.com' is added as a subscriber. The ezmlm verification mechanism tests the only relevant issue: That the person at the subscription address really wants to be a subscriber. After the confirmation reply is received, ezmlm will send a message to the subscription address to let the recipient know that s/he is a subscriber.
Some ezmlm mailing lists may use subscription moderation(*). Subscription to these lists is identical to the process described above, except that after confirmation the request is passed on to the list moderator(s). You become a subscriber only after one of the moderators has approved your request. If you want to send any additional information to the moderator, do so in your confirmation message. ezmlm will notify you once you are a subscriber.

Eczema is usually a devastating skin disorder and it affects our lifestyle. I am a past eczema sufferer and I be aware of pain of computer. The worst thing about eczema is doctors claim that it is not a curable disease. I believe otherwise and I started to search for alternative methods to cure it rather than relying on oral steroid or cream steroid. Let me give out the eczema lotion that I use providing you with tremendous relief. The problem employing normal creams on the market or steroid cream is that they are detrimental to our skin. Harsh chemicals and steroid could potentially cause long-term problem for the outer skin and may make us more susceptible to eczema ultimately. Instead utilizing these creams, I use natural eczema lotion. Natural products would not have harmful unwanted side effects and they are competent to provide similar or better results than creams that includes harsh chemicals. If you want a great eczema lotion, I recommend you to get pure Emu oil. Emu oil is often a wonderful ingredient for treating eczema due to its moisturizing, anti inflammatory and healing properties. It is commonly use by native tribes, like the Aborigines, for his or her healing prowess.
Emu oil also contains Vitamin E, Vitamin A. Vitamin E is often a great antioxidant, it may help your wounds to heal faster, Vitamin A can repair your skin layer, and it can be a great antioxidant. Emu oil also contains Oleic acid, which helps the skin cells to regenerate faster and stop wrinkles. Eczema causes your skin layer to become dry and Emu oil might help in this case. It is often a wonderful moisturizer also it can moisturize your dermatitis to provide relief. One more thing about Emu oil is that it has great transdermal property which allows it to be easily absorbed from the skin. This means that you will be in a position to see results fast. Even though Emu oil can be a great eczema lotion, you shouldn't depend on it to stop your eczema. Applying emu oil offers fast relief to eczema itch and pain, but it really can't cure eczema. You must remember that eczema occurs you have a very weakened defense mechanisms. This causes you to be vulnerable to chronic diseases for instance acne and eczema. To cure problems genuinely, you must deal with internal problems within you. You can't eradicate internal issues with creams and lotions. The only way you can do away with these problems is always to make changes in your diet and detox your whole body. Try adding more foods which contain live enzymes and vitamins. Some examples of such foods are vegetables, plants and nuts.
You could possibly have read that dry, itchy skin would be the leading root cause of eczema. That isn't exactly true. To be completely accurate, dry, itchy skin would be the leading sign of eczema. It's a specific item and everything you feel, nevertheless it isn't the cause, it's simply a symptom, and you might have more than one symptom. Because dried-out skin is often promoted as a source of eczema, lots of people mistakenly assume that applying lotions on the affected area will cure their eczema. Unfortunately, it's not true. Lotion won't cure your eczema, but once used properly it could possibly bring an incredible deal of relief to some very unpleasant symptom. Okay, since lotion will ease the dryness and itching, you must run out and grab the most used lotion off the shelf from the grocery store and slather it on your own eczema, right? Well, maybe not. A leading source of eczema - cause not symptom - is allergies. The allergy could possibly be as simple as being a food allergy or as subtle and complex as allergies due to environmental factors, for example the build up of toxins inside you because of exposure over a long time to various chemicals as part of your clothing, your cleaning products, your furniture, along with the air you breathe. There may be something for the reason that popular lotion you obtained at the food market that cause an eczema break out rather than moderating your symptoms.
Take a look in the list of ingredients for the bottle before plunking down your hard earned dollars on it. In this case, shorter is more preferable. If a given lotion includes a long listing of ingredients, likelihood is better that it might have something in it that can adversely affect you over a lotion which has a short report on ingredients. Does the lotion have artificial fragrances? Fragrances, whether in perfumes, soaps, or lotions really are a big consider causing eczema outbreaks. Does the lotion contain steroids? Even some over-the-counter lotions contain lower levels of steroids, and steroids, whether food store-bought or prescription, when employed for long periods of time have a very whole host of negative uncomfortable side effects. Your best bet should be to buy lotions with natural ingredients.
If the ingredient originates from a plant it's less likely to result in your any problems. If the lotion contains ingredients with unpronounceable, twenty letter long words you don't recognize, likelihood is they are artificial chemicals. Not only hunt for natural ingredients, seek out lotions directed at children. They are often milder than adult lotions, but they provides the same relief as his or her made-for adult counterparts. If you're selective selecting eczema lotions and not simply opting for the most used, you stand an excellent chance of finding lotions that could bring relief on your eczema symptoms rather than cause you any other problems.


"This is my new favorite corn side dish. You're going to be so shocked that without butter, without heavy cream, you're going to have a delicious corn side dish that's every bit as rich and decadent, and it's going to be significantly lower in calories."
Husk the ears of sweet corn and stand an ear upright in a skillet with the top pointing up. Use a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the kernels, working from top to bottom and rotating the ear after each cut. Use the back of the knife to scrape extra juices into skillet. Repeat with remaining ear of corn.
Drizzle olive oil over the kernels and sprinkle with salt; place over medium heat and cook until corn is hot, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; continue to cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season corn with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and garam masala. Cook and stir until corn is tender, about 2 more minutes.
Reduce heat to low and stir Greek yogurt into corn mixture. Remove from heat, stir in chives, and season with more salt, if desired.
This rich, creamy corn side dish has no cream or butter.
If cutting the kernels into a bowl, use an overturned ramekin in the bottom of the bowl to raise the cob up for easier cutting.
First saw this on Chef John's blog. What a terrific way to use late summer sweet corn. Delicious!
I is sweet sweetcorn. I would try some lime juice on it vs. salt.
Awesome! The best corn I've ever had.
The family loved it didnt use the gram marsala or whatever but everyone loved it!!

The 2021 Shimon Peres Prize: Foreign Minister Maas presents award to young German and Israeli leaders
project Negotiation Matters, © Goethe-Institut, Bernhard Ludewig
The Shimon Peres Prize is awarded to people or projects whose work generates enthusiasm for German-Israeli cooperation and tackles societal challenges in both countries in fresh and innovative ways.
Inter-Care and Awareness – promoting greater inclusivity for intersex people
The first prizewinning project, Inter-Care and Awareness, by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, develops new approaches to counselling and treatment for people born with a variety of differences in their sex traits. The project is expected to raise awareness of intersex issues in both societies and has the goal of helping intersex people to develop and thrive in their own identity thanks to psychosocial support.
Negotiation Matters – highlighting the importance of negotiations in resolving international conflicts
The second prizewinner is the project Negotiation Matters, by Israel's Institute for National Security Studies and Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art, as well as the Goethe-Institut and Berlin University of the Arts. For this project, in 2019, a German-Israeli team of graphic design students and researchers created a poster exhibit on twelve international conflicts and the resolutions that were achieved through negotiation. The posters use practical examples such as the 1992 National Peace Accord in South Africa or the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement to create a compelling narrative that highlights the importance of diplomacy, dialogue and empathy in achieving a resolution to conflict.
In Foreign Minister Maas' speech to the prizewinners at the award ceremony, held in the Rotes Rathaus (Berlin City Hall), he also emphasised how strongly the project upholds the values that Shimon Peres stood for.
Peres firmly believed that tenacious diplomacy and dialogue between people make the crucial difference when it comes to resolving conflicts.
The Shimon Peres Prize is awarded annually in a ceremony at the Rotes Rathaus. As well as Foreign Minister Maas, family members of the former Israeli President were in attendance.
What is the Shimon Peres Prize?
Given in memory of the Israeli President Shimon Peres (1923-2016), the prize honours young people who expand and continue the bilateral dialogue that forms the basis of German-Israeli relations. In cooperation with the German-Israeli Future Forum Foundation, the Federal Foreign Office has awarded the Shimon Peres Prize every year since 2017 to German and Israeli initiatives and projects that work towards this goal. The prizewinners are selected by an independent panel of judges. More information can be found on the website of the German-Israeli Future Forum Foundation.

Ideas Under Fire
Historical Studies of Philosophy and Science in Adversity
Edited by Jonathan Lavery; Louis Groarke and William Sweet
Since Aristotle's famous declaration that the speculative sciences originated with the emergence of a leisure class, it has been accepted as a truism that intellectual activity requires political stability and leisure in order to flourish. Paradoxically, however, some of the most powerful and influential contributions to Western intellectual culture have been produced in conditions that were adverse–indeed hostile–to intellectual activity. Examples include Socrates' stirring defense of the examined life before a hostile Athenian jury, Boethius writing The Consolation of Philosophy under the specter of impending torture and execution, Galileo devising key notions for modern mechanics while under house arrest, and Jean-Paul Sartre drafting portions of Being and Nothingness in his war diaries, to name only a few of the most famous incidents–all extraordinary achievements spawned, developed or completed in adversity. In cases such as these, a philosopher or scientist must manage somehow to remain intellectually creative and focused despite living in conditions that are adverse or hostile to thought. In brief, they are working on ideas under fire.
This book is a survey of several momentous cases of philosophers and scientists working under fire. Each chapter of Ideas Under Fire explores a particular case or set of related cases. For each case contributors consider two questions: How did the individual at the center of a particular moment of discovery overcome such formidable obstacles to leisure and conceptually abstract thought? And how did adversity shape their thinking under fire?
Each chapter has been written by a specialist on its respective subject, and the book covers every period of Western history. All the chapters are written in an accessible style that is intended to appeal to both specialists and generalists.

Some incidents have changed digital media in this decade in the near future. Robert Fan wrote earlier this year, the arrival of the mobile "card" is slowly changing almost every consumer web and mobile industry on the planet. Meaning, a unit of an image is somewhat consumable about the combination of text, images, video, audio, meta tags, likes, shares, and comments. We will explain why online flashcard is the future of study.
We recently added card-based products like Tinder (dating), Slides hare (corporate white paper), Twitter (micro blogging), Instagram (photo), Pinterest (pin board), and Google Now (real-time personalized information) to millions. Having spent billions of dollars on investing assets. But a market which is going to be converted by card only is education. The Education tech predicts that online flashcards will be one of the most important disaggregators of education for the next millennium.
Like online flashcards in BrainScope, we are now able to achieve a lot more than the offer of Dredged Paper Flashcard. With any kind of combination, any kind of digital flashcard can support any type of media, any length, any type of interactivity media or any type of media on mobile device, Instead of being a "drill and kill" device, the extensive educational setting. Online flashcards can also be adaptive, so that they can be replicated automatically at intervals, which has been adapted for the speed of personal education of the learner, thereby increasing memory retention. For the next millennium, the word "flashcard" does not mean "trivial fact", but it means that "the smallest unit of knowledge that can be studied, shared, or tied in different courses."
Education tech. is proud to enter this new industry of mobile study equipment. We realize that the permanent solidarity of knowledge occurs during the study process, and we are committed to creating the most effective flashcards-based study experience for both students and teachers. Education tech. is rapidly emerging as a web and mobile study tool used by serious learners.
Unlike websites like Quizlet, who successfully built vocab-based flashcards and games to learn, Education tech has implemented decades of cognitive science research to improve the learning outcomes of large learning objectives during many times. The multimedia flashcards of Education tech use a smart, adaptive algorithm to customize students 'learning by providing students and administrators with a detailed report on the progress of students' study progress. The future of education is data-driven.
So if you are interested in pursuing your studies (or the study of your students) through innovative technology then continue to use brainstorm. Our FREE Marketplace includes streamlined flashcards courses for more than 1 million topics created by the world's best publishers, professors, teachers and top students. We are always happy to find wholesale discounts from students and progressive teachers with a huge discount for your school. Feel free to drop us a line.
Education tech is a web and mobile education platform that helps you learn faster by using cognitive science. Join millions of students, teachers, language learners, examiners and corporate trainees who are doubling their learning outcomes.
This post was written by Romain Robinson, who is currently pursuing MA in Cognitive Studies in Education at Columbia University's Teacher's College. A passionate student and supporter of human development, Romain has BS in research and experimental psychology and was trained in brainscape in 2014 as CEO Relations Manager.Education is growing rapidly. Every day, we hear about some new technology that will change the world and the way we will learn it. In Brain Scape, we are dedicated to improving the way we learn with our own innovative smart flashcard technology (check our topics here), but there are many other educational technologies that are important for improving learning worldwide. . As these rapid changes give us the opportunity to improve education at all levels, it is more important for teachers and students to reach the best new methods, programs and equipment in the field.Fortunately, many dedicated teachers blog about some of the best education techniques available and the development of their use. These 10 blogs in Brain Scape are our favorites. Smart, Pithy and Immediate Useful, these blogs will teach you a lot about the best and most up-to-date technologies for use in classrooms, at home and wherever students want to learn.
1. Innovative TeachersIf you ever felt that the school was boring or irrelevant, then the innovative teacher, Lisa Nielsen, understands how you feel. Inspired by its own delusion with the way of public schooling today, Nielsen focuses on showing the methods of other teachers that they already have the resources available independently within the students' gramps to make the classes more attractive and relevant. And can use technologies. Nielsen deals not only with extensive ideas about technology in the classroom, but also gives information about the implementation, so that teachers can use their ideas without having to fight against the budget process or other restrictions.
2. Adventure LibraryGwyneth Jones, Daring Librarian himself, knows that librarians can have a lot of fun. To portray your stories, with a sense of humor and a lot of wine and cartoon, near Ed-Tech, Jones writes a blog that entertains. Not only do we learn about ideas about new apps and ideas, how to use everyday websites as opportunities for learning, but also a good idea of funny stories that will keep you laughing loud.
3. Adapter RoundupWith weekly positions on the state of technology in education, Adtech is the best place to know the latest news related to round-up education techniques. Extensive coverage of news and recently released apps and devices allows you to know the latest events in just one place each week. Although this blog can not have many basic ideas as some other blogs in the area, roundup provides the best place to keep you informed on the progress in the field.
4. EdudemicThe easiest center for education material provides advice, ideas and lessons to educators to better integrate technology into adideman classrooms. However, the first thing to visit this site may be a little overwhelming due to the attracting content, you will always be able to find new ideas that make your journey worth your time.
