Albert Edmund Parker, 3rd Earl of Morley PC, DL, JP (11 June 1843 – 26 February 1905), styled Viscount Boringdon until 1864, was a British peer and Liberal, later Liberal Unionist politician.

Background and education
Morley was the son of Edmund Parker, 2nd Earl of Morley, and Harriet Sophia (née Parker). He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford.

Political career
Morley succeeded his father as third Earl of Morley in 1864 and took his seat on the Liberal benches in the House of Lords. He served under William Ewart Gladstone as a Lord-in-waiting from 1868 to 1874 and as Under-Secretary of State for War from 1880 to 1885. In February 1886 he was admitted to the Privy Council and appointed First Commissioner of Works, a position he only held until April of the same year. He broke with Gladstone over Irish Home Rule and joined the Liberal Unionists. From 1889 to 1905 Morley was chairman of committees and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords.

Apart from his career in national politics Morley was Chairman of Devon County Council and a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant for Devon. He also served as President of the first day of the 1886 Co-operative Congress.

Marriage and children
Lord Morley married Margaret Holford, eldest daughter of Robert Stayner Holford, in 1876. They had three sons and a daughter:

 Edmund Robert Parker, 4th Earl of Morley (born 19 April 1877, died 10 October 1951)
 Captain Montagu Brownlow Parker, 5th Earl of Morley (born 13 October 1878, died 28 April 1962)

 John Holford Parker (born 22 June 1886, died 27 February 1955), father of John St Aubyn Parker, 6th Earl of Morley

Lord Morley died in February 1905, aged 61, and was succeeded in his titles by his eldest son, Edmund. Lady Morley died in 1908.

Forbes' top billionaires and the FCPA
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 2:08PM
Richard L. Cassin in Bill Gates, Forbes, France, India, Larry Ellison, Las Vegas Sands, Mexico, Oracle Corp., Sheldon Adelson, Walmart, Warren Buffett
Forbes magazine today released its latest ranking of America's richest people.
Larry Ellison ranked third on Forbes' list with $41 billion. Last month, his company Oracle paid $2 million to settle civil FCPA charges. The SEC said California-based Oracle kept a $2.2 million slush fund 'used to make unauthorized payments to phony vendors in India.' Oracle cooperated with the SEC and Ellison himself wasn't charged.
Members of the Walton family hold spots six through nine on Forbes' list. They're descendants of Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart. They are: Christy Walton and family -- $27.9 billion, Jim Walton -- $26.8 billion, Alice Walton -- $26.3 billion, and S. Robson Walton -- $26.1 billion.
In April this year, the New York Times reported widespread alleged bribery by Wal-Mart's Mexico subsidiary and a cover-up over many years involving high level Wal-Mart executives. Wal-Mart later disclosed that the DOJ and SEC are investigating the allegations.
Sheldon Adelson, with $20 billion, dropped off Forbes' top ten list this year, down to 12th. In March, his Las Vegas Sands Corp disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the SEC requesting documents relating to its compliance with the the FCPA. It also said the DOJ is conducting a similar investigation.
Here's Forbes' list of America's top ten billionaires:
-- Bill Gates, $66 billion
-- Warren Buffett, $46 billion
-- Larry Ellison, $41 billion
-- Charles Koch, $31 billion
-- David Koch, $31 billion
-- Christy Walton & family, $27.9 billion
-- Jim Walton, $26.8 billion
-- Alice Walton, $26.3 billion
-- S. Robson Walton, $26.1 billion
-- Michael Bloomberg, $25 billion

Q: Block console for website while making addon for Firefox there are already dozens of ways explained to disable the console.log function completely. I know... console.log = function() {} is probably the best known...
But what I could not find is a way to block a website´s script from accessing to the browser console totally while I still can use it. Also a lot of warnings appear in all sorts of scripts. And many pages just keep logging after developing. A really annoying example could be this site: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
One answer is to filter the output for my add-on by hand in the console´s built in filter, but that is not good if the add-on itself doesn't work (e.g. due to script-errors, which prevent the add-on from working at all). Anyway I don´t want to fill in a filter every time I restart the browser.
So I would like to have a permanent way to suppress every output coming from a website (even warnings, errors etc.) without blocking my add-on from logging.
If possible without using jQuery :)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

A: Console² allows to filter chrome and content messages.

Louisa-Muscatine's Whitney Morse had some close competition for her repeat as the Iowa Class 1A girls' bowling state champion.
It was a dominating Monday for Louisa-Muscatine bowling at the Class 1A state championships.
Louisa-Muscatine's Whitney Morse repeated as the girls' state champion, while junior classmate Dustin Beaham steamrolled his way to the boys' title at Cadillac Lanes in Waterloo.
Morse had close competition in her repeat bid. That challenge came from her teammate, Lauren Bodman. But Morse was able to edge her by two pins to claim the 1A title with a two-game total of 472 on Monday.
Bodman finished with a score of 470, while Bondurant-Farrar's Elizabeth Stanley had a 468 to come in third.
Those three were well ahead of the pack, with Louisa-Muscatine's Madisyn Gerdts the next-highest scorer, with a 437.
Beaham cruised on the boys' side. He tallied a 535 total, buoyed by a perfect 300 in his first game. Red Oak's Noah Westerlund placed second with a 480 total.
The Class 2A finals will be held Tuesday, and the 3A finals are Wednesday.

About the Conscious Vibe
Are Vibes and Energy the Same ? (Frequencies Explained)
Written by Conscious Vibe in Conscious Vibe,Self Awareness,Vibes Last Updated March 3, 2022
Good Vibes Only. I like your Energy. We're on the same frequency. Are all of these sentences "more-or-less" the same ?
There's no scientific answer, but it really depends on the context of the word. For example, are cars, vehicles, and transportation all the same?
It depends on the context. The words CAN be interchangeable, but they also all mean different things. The same is true for vibes, energy, and frequency.
In this article, we'll break down the differences and look at why understanding "vibes", "energy", and "frequencies" can give you a serious advantage.
Vibes vs. Energy vs. Frequencies
"If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."
Definition: Vibes describe a person's emotional state or the atmosphere of a place as communicated to and felt by others. Vibes is shorthand for vibration.
Meaning: Vibes are an non-verbal means of communicating through sub-conscious feelings. Someone's smile in a meeting might communicate "good vibes", while someone standing in a dark alley with their arms crossed would likely give a gut-feeling of "negative vibes".
If you're having a bad day, or if you're having a good day, you're likely communicating that non-verbally to others with your general "vibe". Often this is done sub-consciously with micro-expressions and though body language.
Definition: Energy refers to the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
Meaning: Energy and Vibes are often used interchangeably. In most context, the word ""energy"" can almost always be used as an alternative to the word ""vibe"". However, the word ""vibe"" cannot always be used as an alternative to the word ""energy""
Energy can be used to describe someone's vibe.
For example, they had a good vibe because they had high energy. Or they had a good vibe because of their low and relaxed energy.
Just like someone's vibe, someone's energy is something that is often communicated non-verbally and can be picked-up on and given off sub-consciously.
When someone says that they feel someone's energy, they are picking up on non-verbal cues such as facial expression, tone-of-voice, and body language.
Definition: Frequency is the rate at which a vibration occurs. Vibrations form in waves which can take many shapes from sound waves, to electromagnetic fields, to radio waves, light waves, and gravitational waves.
Meaning: When someone describes a good or bad ""vibe"" they're talking about a vibration. Different vibrations are measured in frequencies.
Frequencies are a way to measure different vibrations.
If you're on the same ""frequency"" as someone, then you are both tuned-in to the same way of thinking, or the same thought pattern.
Some people believe that the human body naturally produces an aura of energy (called a torus field). The vibration and frequency of this aura of energy changes constantly depending on mood and emotional state.
The Science of "Vibes" and How It Effects Our Well-being.
Whether you're consciously aware of it or not, vibes are all around you, part of you, and effecting you at all times.
Vibes In The Universe
It's been long understood that everything recognizable on earth is built of matter.
Matter is made from smaller molecules which are made from smaller yet atoms. Atoms are made from protons, electrons & neutrons, which are made from Neutrons. Neutrons are made from Quarks, and according to Einstein's "string theory", Quarks are made of vibrating 'strings of energy'.
This is a bit tough to conceptualize, BUT…
If "string theory" is correct, this would mean that the fundamental building blocks of everything on earth (and in the known universe) is comprised of different energy strings vibrating at different frequencies.
Vibes In The Body: Chemical Brain Responses To Human Emotions (Vibes)
Chemicals in our brain effect our mood. We've all heard about people taking medications for chemical imbalances.
But do our brains chemicals DETERMINE our mood? OR, does our mood DETERMINE the chemicals in our brain?
This is a bit of a "chicken and egg" scenario. If you're having a bad day, or if you lost your job 6 months ago and you've been depressed since, or if you just hit a home run then your dopamine levels will be very different.
What's any of this have to do with vibes or frequencies? We'll get to that.
Life can be tough, it's not supposed to be as easy as it looks on Instagram. Often people with a "chemical brain imbalance" have an underlying root cause behind their emotional state.
According to healthline.com, ""some people claim that these imbalances can cause mental health conditions. However, most research now refutes the chemical imbalance theory.""
This statement basically solves the "chicken and egg" problem and points the finger at your mood and emotions for being responsible for your brain chemicals, not the other way around.
Basically, your vibe can effect your internal brain chemistry.
To further illustrate this point, we know that stress and anxiety cause the body's Endocrine System to produce the hormone cortisol. Studies have found that over time, cortisol has been found to reduce mental health
Vibes In The Brain: The "resonance theory of consciousness"
The science world has forever been asking, what is the relationship between mind and matter and consciousness.
Similar to string theory, the "resonance theory of consciousness" conceptualizes that vibrating frequencies are at the heart of human consciousness, animal consciousness, and even physical reality.
The theory states that all things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Obviously this would be at the nano-scale level of Quarks, Protons, and Atoms. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various different nano-scale frequencies.
It is hypothesized that the brain can pick up on many of these frequencies sub-consciously.
Researchers know that works on multiple different brain wave frequencies. Specifically, gamma, theta and beta waves, which work together in the brain to produce various types of human consciousness.
Are Peoples Vibes Contagious ? Whose Vibes Are You Catching
Our Vibes, attitudes, emotional state, or current energy level are all physical representations of our internal emotional state. And sometimes we overcompensate.
In other words, our vibe is an outward reflection how we feel internally.
This would also includes our sub-conscious feelings that are often reflected in our 'vibe' (with-out us even being aware of it).
We reflects our emotional feeling non-verbally through body language and micro-expressions which are represented by our general "vibe", which others can pick up on and absorb.
The reason attitudes are contagious is due to a chain reaction of emotional states.
Humans are emotional beings, and those who are consciously aware of their feelings, may be able to read others emotions better than they can themselves.
If someone holds the door open for you, then you're more likely to hold the door open for the next guy. I've noticed this same pattern when letting someone into a line of traffic as well.
Your attitude affects how the people around you feel. It affects your family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers you come across in your daily activities.
How To Identify Positive and Negative Vibes in People
The easiest way to identify anything in someone else is to first identify it in yourself. The higher level of self-awareness you have, the more accurate you will be when trying to identify someone else's vibe.
Positive Vibes vs. Negative Vibes
Most people operate on a spectrum of different vibes, moods and emotions. These lists below give some insight into what emotions you're feeling and what vibes you're giving off as a result.
You won't have all positive traits, and you wont have all negative traits, but you'll likely have more of one than the other. It's important to recognize the root cause emotions behind your vibes, so hopefully these lists will help give you some insight on your average daily vibe.
26 Signs That You Operate On A HIGHER Level Frequency of POSITIVE Energy
You are self-aware (i.e. you are conscious of what you are saying, doing, thinking and feeling, as well as the effect this has on others).
You are empathetic towards others needs and you make a habit of seeing through the eyes of other people.
You are highly creative and are often bursting with ideas and inspiration.
You are emotionally balanced.
You have a great sense of humor towards life.
You don't take yourself too seriously.

You are attracted to profound, calming and inspirational music/movies/TV shows.
You are highly intuitive.
Other people easily open up to you.
You often find yourself in the role of the counselor, peacemaker or teacher in friendships and relationships.
27 Signs That You Operate On A LOWER Level Frequency of NEGATIVE Energy
You feel "stuck" or stranded in life, not knowing what to do next.
You are emotionally distant.
You are emotionally reactive.
You struggle with constant fatigue and lack of energy
You have a primarily self-centered view of the world.
You often struggle with anxiety and desperation.
You find it almost impossible to get "unstuck" from old habits.
You feel physically unfit and unhealthy.
You bottle up feelings such as resentment and jealousy.
You find it hard to forgive yourself and other people.
You suffer from a guilt complex
You don't really know what you want in life.
You continue to make poor choices.
You find it hard to see the beauty in life.
You feel unfulfilled.
Your connections with others constantly bring you pain.
You are overly cynical and skeptical.
You are argumentative.
You complain a lot.
You easily fall into victim-based mindsets.
You self-sabotage (either consciously or sub-consciously)
You focus primarily on the negative in life.
You struggle to feel gratitude.
You eat a lot of fatty or processed foods (e.g. meat, fast food, lollies).
You are needy or demanding of others.
You watch a lot of violent multimedia and/or listen to intense music with violent lyrics.
You find it hard to make any real progress in life.
Conclusion: Vibes vs. Energy vs. Frequency
When many people hear of 'vibes', 'energy', or 'frequency' in relation to mood or emotions they automatically dismiss it as ""pseudo-science"".
But we know that emotions are real, we know that feelings are real and we know that, by-in-large, emotions effect brain chemistry (not the other way around).
We know that most communication is non-verbal, and we know that we feel 'gut-feelings' when around both positive and negative influences.
According to Einstein's "string theory" and the "resonance theory of consciousness" this can all be explained by our brains ability to pick-up on nano-frequencies of energy which result in a general overarching "vibe".

Q: driver.setLocation() not working on iOS appium simulator I have done a lot of searching online and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The idea is that I want to launch my iOS app with the following location in a simulator. This works fine when I manually go to debug>location>custom location and set the longitude and latitude....however I need to do it programatically so that my app launches /picks up this location when I click enable locations. Here is my code
public class SampleTest extends SampleBaseTest {

          private IOSDriver driver;
          private String sessionId;
          static UserData sampleUser = null;

          @Test(priority = 0)
          public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException {

              DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.iphone();
              caps.setCapability("appiumVersion", "1.4.16");
              caps.setCapability("deviceName","iPhone 6");
              caps.setCapability("deviceOrientation", "portrait");
              caps.setCapability("platformVersion","9.1");
              caps.setCapability("platformName", "iOS");
              caps.setCapability("browserName", "");
              caps.setCapability("app","sauce-storage:sampleAppe.zip");

            URL sauceUrl = new URL("http://" + "sauceUserName" + ":"+ "sauceUserKey" + "@ondemand.saucelabs.com:80/wd/hub");

            driver = new IOSDriver(sauceUrl, caps);
            Location location = new Location(-8.78319, -114.509, 0.0);
            driver.setLocation(location);

            sessionId = driver.getSessionId().toString();

          @Test(priority = 1)
          public void navigateToPayAhead()
                          throws Exception {

              try{
                    // test logic here

              }
              catch(Exception e){
                  e.printStackTrace();
              }

          }
        }
    }

A: Unfortunately, there is a current issue with setting a location on the Sauce iOS simulators. From a support ticket on a similar issue, I was told that it is a known issue, and that it will be addressed (at some point).
I can verify that setting a location does work when using the Android emulators via Sauce Labs.
So, I guess the good news is that you aren't doing anything wrong!

A: Try adding
caps.setCapability("locationServicesEnabled", true);
caps.setCapability("locationServicesAuthorized", true);
caps.setCapability("bundleId", "YOUR_BUNDLE_ID_HERE");

To get your bundle id, see How to obtain Bundle ID for an IOS App when I have a '.ipa' file for the app installed on my iPAD

English hospitals told to prepare for Covid vaccine in 10 days – report
This vaccine, which reported early results suggesting the jab is 95% effective, needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures
Hospitals could reportedly receive the first deliveries of a vaccine created by Pfizer/BioNTech between December 7 and 9 (David Cheskin/PA)
Fri, 27 Nov, 2020 - 20:55
Jess Glass, PA
Hospitals in England have been told to prepare for the rollout of a Covid-19 vaccine in as soon as 10 days, it has been reported.
According to The Guardian, hospitals could receive the first deliveries of a vaccine created by Pfizer/BioNTech between December 7 and December 9.
This vaccine, which reported early results suggesting the jab is 95% effective, needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures.
The newspaper said one senior hospital executive had been told to expect the vaccine on December 7 to give to staff during the following week.
But this timeframe will depend on if and when the jab is approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
The PA news agency understands no date has been confirmed by NHS England for the rollout of the jab as there are still several steps to go through – including MHRA approval.
However, it is also understood that 10 days would be a reasonable time frame should the vaccine be approved soon.
On November 20, the British Health Secretary said he had formally asked the medicines regulator to assess the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for use in the UK.
Matt Hancock hailed it as "another important step forward in tackling this pandemic".
But he said while the regulator's approval would see a rollout ready to start next month, there is "still a long way to go".
The MHRA confirmed on Monday it had received the necessary data to progress its review into whether the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine meets the required standards.
The Guardian also reported the Pfizer vaccine will be given to NHS staff first due to its short shelf life and the logistical difficulties transporting the jab.
From the moment the Pfizer vaccine leaves the factory in Belgium it can only be taken out of minus 70C four times before it is injected into a patient's arm.
Interim guidance from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) prioritised older care home residents before health and social care workers, who were on equal footing with the over-80s.
However, the JCVI's guidance also stated the final decision on how health and social care workers would be prioritised would depend on the vaccine's characteristics.
The UK has ordered 40 million doses of the Pfizer jab and expects 10 million doses by the end of the year.

The UK has also ordered 100 million doses of a vaccine from AstraZeneca and Oxford University, which does not need to be kept at such low temperatures.
The Oxford jab has also been sent to the MHRA for approval.
Senior health officials previously said GPs in England will be given 10 days' notice before any Covid vaccine rollout begins.
A letter from Dr Nikki Kanani, NHS England's medical director of primary care, and Ed Waller, NHS England's director for primary care, also thanked GPs for their efforts during the pandemic and praised their "fantastic response" to setting up vaccination sites.

Cuba becomes first country in the world to stop mother-to-child HIV transmission
Posted on July 1, 2015 by Hemley Gonzalez
Cuba is the first country in the world to stop the transmission of the AIDS virus from mothers to their babies, the World Health Organization said Monday. Cuba's also stopped the transmission of syphilis from mothers to newborns – two feats that show it's possible to control epidemics of both infections.
"Eliminating transmission of a virus is one of the greatest public health achievements possible," said WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan. "This is a major victory in our long fight against HIV and sexually transmitted infections, and an important step towards having an AIDS-free generation."
Babies can be infected with HIV at birth or by breastfeeding if the mother is infected. If the mother gets HIV drugs before and after giving birth, and if the newborn is given drugs, the risk falls to less than 1%. But that means the mother must have been tested and know she is infected, and of course the drugs must be available.
WHO estimates that 1.4 million women with HIV become pregnant every year. Without treatment, there's as much as a 45% chance that they will infect their newborns.
Globally, 67% of all pregnant women infected with HIV in low- and middle-income countries were able to get the drugs to protect their babies in 2013, WHO said. "The number of children born annually with HIV has almost halved since 2009 – down from 400,000 in 2009 to 240,000 in 2013," WHO says.
In the U.S., testing and treatment of pregnant women has made mother-to-child transmission rates plummet by more than 90%. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says, 162 children were infected at birth. CDC says 14% of Americans with HIV don't know it.
Cuba's success should encourage donors and governments to redouble their efforts, WHO said.
"It shows that ending the AIDS epidemic is possible and we expect Cuba to be the first of many countries coming forward to seek validation that they have ended their epidemics among children," said Dr. Michel Sidibé, executive director of the United Nations AIDS agency UNAIDS.
Similarly, stopping syphilis transmission is easy if women get antibiotics to treat the infection. WHO says nearly 1 million pregnant women worldwide are infected with syphilis annually. That translated to 360,000 babies who were born dead or died soon after birth, were born prematurely or who were born infected in 2012.

Compared to March, this month was a hell of a lot better when it came to my motivation and goals. I started the month with a clear intention of pushing my limits during crunch time at the gym, trying to tone up before a wedding out of town.
Our weekend in New Hampshire for said wedding was a lot of fun. It had been roughly two months since I had seen Ryan, so it was great to catch up, spend some quality time together and drink our way around the lake region as we hit up some local breweries and wineries. The wedding itself was a blast, besides the flat tire Ryan got as we pulled into the venue, but a quick change of the spare didn't hinder our fun!
After coming back, I decided to listen to my body (for once!) and give myself some time off from the gym since my attention span was starting to suffer in other aspects of my life. The time away from the gym was enough to regain my focus and gear me up for hopefully another successful month.
Lose 3-5 pounds: I was really proud of my results I saw in April and I want to keep going, fresh with a new workout program. Head over to my May Workout Split to see more of a thorough breakdown of my goals this month. I'm slowly (but surely) getting get closer to my yearly goal, which I'm still about 25 pounds from and hope that this new program will spearhead my results and get me over the hump.
Save up to $200 in piggy bank: Balancing my wallet and making my piggy bank grow was been a lot easier than I thought. I've been taking out $140 each paycheck, dedicating $50 to the Europe fund and allowing myself to use that extra $90 as free spending money, stowing away that extra money (if any is left) into the piggy bank next payday. I'm only $32.39 from my goal, which shouldn't take me long to achieve.
Purchase keyboard and start practicing two times a week: After realizing how much I slacked when it came to my Creativity Resolution, I've decided to bite the bullet and purchase a keyboard and teach myself the piano! If I put it on my Goal Digger, I'm more likely to actually do it so now it's time to do my research, purchase a decent keyboard and set aside an hour two times a week.
Continue learning German and Dutch: We're officially 55 days away from our trip and it's slowly starting to settle in. I've been plugging along, learning as much of the basics that I can and want to continue to do so before we jet-set.
What are some of your goals for May? Let me know in a comment!

Iron is one of those essential minerals that is important for good health.
Blood is red due to iron and oxygen in our blood.
Iron is typically associated with red meats.
In many foods including meats and legumes.
It is added to processed foods such as pastas, cereals, milks, etc.
Many plant foods contain more than 10% of the recommended daily allowance of iron per serving, with lentils and spinach being on top of the list.
When husks are removed during the production of refined flours, whole grains can lose up to three-quarters of their iron content.
About 70% of your body's iron is found in the red blood cells in a chemical compound called hemoglobin while the iron in the muscle cells is in myoglobin. Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues.
Of course, iron is also available as a dietary supplement but we advise you to consult your doctor before taking iron.
This little mineral has many important functions in our bodies and we could not live without it.
It allows for babies' brains and nerves to develop properly.
It helps many enzymes in the energy-generating pathways.
It is required when creating new cells, hormones, neurotransmitters, and amino acids.
It enhances transportation of oxygen to every cell of the body via the red blood cells.
Iron supports energy generation through metabolic processes.
Large quantities of heme iron are found in animal foods such as meat, seafood, poultry and eggs.
The other type of iron is called non-heme and exists in plant foods like tofu, legumes (beans, dried peas, lentils), enriched foods, nuts, seeds and some vegetables (spinach, kale).
It is actually easier for the body to absorb heme iron than non heme.
While the recommended daily allowance of iron varies with age, gender and level of physical activity, it is suggested to stay below 45 mg/day. Men need about 10 mg, while women need around 18 mg daily.
How can I Easily Maintain Healthy Iron Levels?
Iron and vitamin C work synergistically. Eating the combination of foods which have both iron and vitamin C will benefit you the most.
Squeeze lemon juice (source of vitamin C) on cooked spinach and lentils (plant iron).
Eat pasta (iron-fortified food) with fresh tomato sauce (source of vitamin C, and also lycopene).
Drink non-concentrated orange juice (i.e., has vitamin C) with oatmeal (iron).
Eat your steak with a big green salad containing spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, etc.
Eating the 2 types of iron together will also increase the absorption of non-heme iron.
Add lentils to meat dishes.
Try our recipe for a tasty spinach juice here.
When husks are removed during the production of refined flours, whole grains can lose up to three-quarters of their iron content. Iron in plants is stripped through processing, water soaking, and cooking so by eating 100% whole wheat grains this helps keep iron naturally in the food.
Don't overcook your veggies & don't throw away the water!
You may have heard that meat is better to overcook than to undercook it. Well, it's not the same for veggies! Iron is quickly lost from plant foods when over cooked. For example, if you boil spinach in water and drain it, you are losing a lot of iron with the water; almost 90%!
Here's an idea: add spinach leaves to lentils or tomato sauce once the water is sufficiently evaporated. To reduce loss of loss while cooking, adopt shorter cooking times and the use of smaller amounts of water.
Speak to your health care provider if you are experiencing these symptoms, and also speak to your doctor before taking iron pills to make sure you are taking the ones that are right for you.

Update on Environmental Standards Scotland
December 4, 2020 by admin No Comments | Category Uncategorized
Chair and members put forward for appointment.
The Scottish Government has today announced its intention to recommend the former Scottish Public Services Ombudsman, Jim Martin, as Chair of Scotland's new environmental body, Environmental Standards Scotland (ESS).
It is proposed that the Chair will be supported by four other members with experience of the environment sector and its regulatory frameworks.
Legislation to establish ESS is currently passing through the Scottish Parliament. If approved, it will be established on 1 January 2021 on a non-statutory basis to prevent an environmental governance gap arising from the UK leaving the European Union.
When fully established as a statutory body, its proposed remit is to monitor and investigate public authorities' compliance with environmental law, the 'effectiveness' of environmental law and how it is implemented and applied. It will also enforce environmental law by taking the steps it considers appropriate to secure public authorities' compliance.
Welcoming the nominations, Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham, said: "Behind the scenes, we have been working tirelessly to put in place the necessary arrangements for environmental governance in Scotland following Brexit.
"Scotland voted against Brexit and clearly this situation is not of our choosing, but I have been very clear that there must be no 'gap' once we lose the oversight of the EU's institutions later this month. It is vital that Scotland's environmental standards are maintained or enhanced, despite the threat from Brexit. My intention is that Environmental Standards Scotland will be a strong, independent and effective governance body – and these nominations for appointment are the first step towards achieving this.
"Between them, Jim Martin and the other members being put forward have significant experience of leading independent, scrutiny organisations and across the environment sector and its regulatory frameworks, including particular experience in Europe.
"I look forward to working closely with the Scottish Parliament to finalise these appointments and the wider arrangements for environmental governance as we move forward in the new year."
The other four members being put forward to the Scottish Parliament for agreement are Paul McAleavey, Richard Dixon, Marie Fallon and Annalisa Savaresi.

Medway report vindicates Howard League's unswerving opposition to secure training centres
The Howard League for Penal Reform has today (Thursday 12 May) responded to a written statement by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Michael Gove, about Medway Secure Training Centre in Kent.
It coincides with the publication of a report by an independent improvement board, which was set up in January to investigate the child jail after allegations of abuse were made in a BBC Panorama documentary.
Frances Crook, Chief Executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "This is a comprehensive and wide-ranging report that goes well beyond considering one company's failings or the idea that a few bad apples are at fault. G4S, the Youth Justice Board and Barnardos advocates are all criticised heavily.
"The Howard League has been saying for 20 years – ever since secure training centres were first envisaged – that the concept was rotten. Today's report vindicates this view. It is devastating to think about the thousands of children who have been through the doors of these child jails.
"We welcome the removal of G4S, but we question whether the National Offender Management Service can address these fundamental concerns. Medway and the other two secure training centres should be closed."
The Howard League has warned about the systemic problems in secure training centres ever since their introduction in the late 1990s.
In April 2004, 15-year-old Gareth Myatt died from choking on his own vomit while being restrained in Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre in Northamptonshire.
Four months later, 14-year-old Adam Rickwood was found hanging in his cell at Hassockfield Secure Training Centre in County Durham. An inquest later found that he had been unlawfully restrained and this had contributed to his death.
In 2012, a High Court judge ruled that the unlawful use of restraint had been widespread in privately-run secure training centres for at least a decade.
The Howard League legal team has dealt with numerous concerns raised by or on behalf of young people at Medway over the years. The team has also worked with adults who were detained there as children and who have raised serious concerns about their treatment.
Children at Medway who have been assisted by the Howard League legal team include:
A 14-year-old boy, who was restrained on numerous occasions, the use of force amounting to an average of more than once a fortnight over the relevant period. The Howard League submitted complaints to the secure training centre and the Youth Justice Board monitor. Despite numerous requests, the charity was never provided with CCTV evidence of the incidents. In response to the complaints, the Youth Justice Board eventually agreed that the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman ought to investigate the issue. The Howard League awaits the final investigation report.
A 16-year-old girl, who said that she was poked and called names, including foul language, by staff who forced their way into her room. She had placed a mattress against the viewing panel while on a constant watch. The Howard League made a safeguarding referral, which was investigated.
A 17-year-old boy, who reported having been restrained for refusing to leave the dining area. The Howard League made a safeguarding referral and complained to the Youth Justice Board monitor on the boy's behalf.
A 15-year-old boy, whose mother contacted the Howard League. She said that staff had taken him into his room, where no cameras were, and hit him about the head. The charity made a safeguarding referral.
A 16-year-old asthmatic boy, who complained that, while he was in education, he was restrained by staff who squeezed his head and neck, causing him to fall to the floor. The Howard League made a safeguarding referral.
Invariably the Howard League's complaints are not upheld. The charity now contends that it has been proved correct in its criticisms and that the individual complaints were justified.
The written ministerial statement on Medway secure training centre by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Michael Gove, can be viewed online here.
The report of the independent Medway Improvement Board can be viewed online here.
In August 2013, the Howard League wrote an open letter to the then Secretary of State for Justice, Chris Grayling, outlining that the complaints system in place for secure training centres was ineffective and not sufficiently independent. A month later, the Prisons and Probations Ombudsman assumed jurisdiction of complaints from children in secure training centres. The letter can be viewed online here.
The Howard League has published a report examining the use of force on children in custody. Twisted can be viewed online at here.
The Howard League's report, Corporate Crime? A dossier on the failure of privatisation in the criminal justice system, can be viewed online here.

Being in the website and software development industry, I have been using Afrihost for years and, whilst receiving excellent customer service previously, have found it to be very lacking of late.
I decided to use the Afrihost mobile data offer and cancel my MTN bundle. I followed the emailed process EXACTLY and, after seeing the product loaded on my profile, assumed it was all set up and functioning.
The information provided by Afrihost was INCOMPLETE and a further step was required to change the APN. This has now cost me R3200!!!! My standard phone bill is normally R500.
I feel this was false advertising and terrible customer service provision. I am now being billed for a service from Afrihost who keep passing the buck to MTN and visa versa. This service is NOT WORKING ON MY PHONE and no one can help me so I would appreciate a refund for this.

New Hampshire records most COVID-19 cases in single day over weekend
WMUR 9 | By Kirk Enstrom
MANCHESTER, N.H. – New Hampshire recorded the most COVID-19 cases in a single day over the weekend as active cases again surged to a record high.

Oh December, you were hectic. Lovely of course, but definitely hectic. We had a wonderful Christmas spent with our nearest and dearest, promptly followed by us all falling ill and so we have spent the past few days having some much needed down time at home. Here's a few things I have loved over the festive period!
During December my go to lip colour has definitely been my favourite Rimmel Kate lipstick in shade 01 – the perfect festive red!
I recently started using the L'oreal mythic oil and my hair is seriously so grateful! I use a couple of pumps on my hair when its wet and then another small pump when its dry and not only does it feel so much softer and smoother but it looks much shinier and healthier too. One of my favourite things about this hair oil is you can't feel it in the hair at all and it doesn't make it feel or look greasy like other (more expensive) oils I have previously used.
I recently bought my first ever roll neck jumper (late to the party I know!!) I went for a dark mustard colour and have been wearing it non stop throughout December. My sister bought me a black one for Christmas too which I know I'll get loads of wear out of also. I've been thinking about getting a pinafore dress to wear with them, something like this maybe, but I haven't quite decided if I can pull it off yet.
I also had to mention this gorgeous little black dress I wore for my Christmas works do as I felt absolutely amazing in it. It was a steal at only £30 from Boohoo and I received so many compliments on it that evening!
December has been a crazy month for us with regards to home decor! We have re-decorated Bella's bedroom, done a stupid amount of gloss painting (I'm talking almost every bloody door / door frame / skirting board in the house. FML.) and finished off lots of odds and ends of decorating all ready for when our new carpets were laid a couple of weeks ago. We are so pleased we made the decision to ditch some of the laminate flooring and get some carpets down. It's made the whole house feel so much cosier and homely.
I purchased a gorgeous hand illustrated print by Grace Leaney for Josh as one of his Christmas presents and I'm so so pleased with it. I put it in a grey IKEA frame and we have hung it in our hallway as the grey matches our geo print wallpaper perfectly.
December is my favourite month of the whole year for food for obvious reasons. Christmas dinner was definitely a highlight but I always equally enjoy bubble and squeak on boxing day with all the leftover cold meats and cheeses. We also always make the Delia Smith Turkey & Leek flan with leftovers and it's SO tasty.
What have you been loving in December? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too!


three hit shutout in game one.
FORT PIERCE, Fla. (March 15, 2012) – Stonehill College, ranked seventh overall in the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) East Regional Poll, split a non-conference doubleheader with American International College (AIC) on Thursday afternoon earning a 1-0 shutout victory in game one while falling in game two, 3-2 (both seven inning contests).
Senior right-handed pitcher Bryan Galligan (Brockton, Mass./Brockton) hurled a complete game three-hit shutout to improve his record to 2-1 overall on the season. Galligan issued just one walk and struck out a game-high six batters. John Hanna (Dudley, Mass./Shepherd Hill Regional) was handed the loss on six innings pitched, seven hits, one run (unearned), zero walks and two punchouts.
A pitching duel throughout, Stonehill finally broke into the scoring column in the bottom of the sixth inning as senior Michael White (Lisbon, N.H./Lisbon Regional) scored from second base on a throwing error by the Yellow Jackets shortstop. White double to left centerfield with one out before classmate Steven Popp (Unionville, Conn./Farmington) put the ball in play to the left side of the infield that resulted in the Skyhawks only run of the contest.
Sophomore Dan Fratus (Plymouth, Mass./Plymouth North) led Stonehill's offense with a 3-for-3 performance at the plate.
The Yellow Jackets earned a split of the doubleheader in game two with a come-from-behind victory scoring all three of their runs in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Senior reliever Geoff McCowat (Sterling, Va./Dominion) picked up the win over two innings of work, two hits and one run (unearned). AIC starter Ryan Acevedo (Poway, Calif./Chaparral) was handed the no-decision on five innings pitched, four hits, one run (earned), four walks, one hit-by-pitch and six strikeouts.
For Stonehill, senior Michael Von Stein (Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull) suffered the loss giving up three runs (two earned) and two walks. Freshman starter Armand Rugel (Middletown, R.I./Middletown) earned a no-decision in his first-career start on six innings pitched, four hits, no runs, one walk and a game-high seven punchouts.
The Skyhawks claimed a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning as Michael Zeiner Simsbury, Conn./Simsbury) ripped a RBI double down the right field line plating freshman Matt Anziano (Belchertown, Mass./Belchertown) from second with two outs. Junior James DeAlto (Briarcliff Manor, N.Y./Briarcliff) was thrown out at home trying to score on a 9-3-2 relay. Anziano extended the inning with a walk and stole second base before DeAlto reached base on a free pass.
In the top of the seventh inning, Zeiner gave Stonehill a 2-0 advantage with a sacrifice fly to right field that plated freshman Dan Pidgeon (Darien, Conn./Darien), his second RBI of the contest.
AIC scratched home three runs in the bottom half inning to earn the doubleheader split.
Nicholas Devin (Springfield, Mass./Cathedral) and Dave Clark (West Springfield, Mass./West Springfield) worked back-to-back walks to leadoff the frame and an error on a sacrifice bunt allowed Devin to score and make it a 2-1 deficit.
The Skyhawks went to the bullpen, replacing Von Stein, and brought in freshman pitcher Jim Duff (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City). Duff intentionally walked senior Julian Concepcion (Woodstock Valley, Conn./St. Peter Marian) to load the bases in an attempt to set up a double play situation.
Freshman Mike Coyne (El Cajon, Calif./St. Augustine) followed with a fielder's choice RBI and senior Dennis Duffy (Warwick, R.I./Trinity Christian) drove in the game-winning run with a walk.
Zeiner went 1-for-2 with two RBI's while Fratus was 2-for-3 at the plate to lead Stonehill offensively.
Stonehill (10-5, 0-0 NE-10, 0-0 Northeast Division) faces the University of Bridgeport tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. in Ormand Beach, Fla. AIC (5-4, 0-0 NE-10, 0-0 Southwest Division) plays the University of New Haven tomorrow at 10 a.m. in West Palm Beach, Fla.


From Projects+ 8.0 release forward, we have added a new feature to import the PTO balances from external HR or payroll systems. A data entity called 'PTO balances' is created to facilitate this import process. PTO data can be imported on a periodic basis from an external system and is shown on the fact box in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 finance and operations.
Personal time off request Inquiry.
A fact box is introduced to display the PTO balances data on above mentioned forms. The fact box displays the information for the selected resource on the form. If multiple records are selected together, then the fact box will not display any information. This fact box has two columns, which are Type and Balance. These two columns contain the information about the type of PTO records and balances from the last imported date respectively.
Also, list pages are introduced on the workspaces to display this data. 'My PTO balances' on the Projects+ tasks workspace displays the information for resources assigned to the logged in users and on the resource management workspace, 'My employee PTO balances' list page is added. This list page displays the PTO balances of all the resources for whom the logged in user is defined as an timesheet approver.

The Arts Faculty Teachers' Association (AFTA), University of Colombo, yesterday expressed its serious concern and displeasure on the indefinite closure of the Faculty of Arts for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students and the clear lack of interest on the part of the Vice Chancellor and higher administration to re-open the Faculty for its regular academic activities.
The reason given for the closure of the Faculty was the students' opposition to raising hostel fees and admitting female students to an unsafe hostel which was still under construction. It is now two months since the decision to close the Faculty was made in an arbitrary manner without any consultation with the academic staff of the Faculty or the larger student body, AFTA said in a media statement.
"The Vice Chancellor has totally disregarded several requests made to him by AFTA to give academics of the Faculty an opportunity to discuss problems facing students as well as teachers of the Faculty due to the indefinite closure. It is with sadness that we note that, instead, the Vice Chancellor has entered a path leading to dictatorship, by violating the accepted procedure in appointing student counselors and others which should be done in consultation with the Dean and the Faculty Board concerned", the statement asserted.
AFTA in all seriousness requests that satisfactory solutions be provided to all welfare and hostel related problems of the students and that the Faculty be re-opened for its regular academic activities as soon as possible.
It further requested that the Vice Chancellor and the higher administration adopt a consultative approach to solve problems facing the Faculty of Arts and refrain from any measures such as closure of the Faculty which are bound to jeopardize the Humanities and Social Science training vital to national development.


"It took police officers in New Zealand 36 minutes to catch the terrorist who murdered 50 people in two Christchurch mosques last week. Dramatic footage shows that just two officers—only one of whom had a gun—apprehend the suspect after his bloody rampage. We are now learning that this response time would have been longer, but police happened to be conducting a drill nearby practicing for a similar attack.
In what can be described as an extremely strange 'coincidence,' Chris Cahill, a detective inspector who is president of a local labor union for police officers, explained that officers were involved in a drill near the city center when the shooting broke out.
'Any police force in the world — to get to the scene in six minutes, a specialist team there in 10 — that would be a success,' Mr. Cahill said.
Also, during the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) was in the midst of a training exercise called Vigilant Guardian, which 'coincidentally' simulated planes being hijacked by terrorists.
As if these two events weren't a strange enough 'coincidence,' the London subway attacks on 7/7 also encompassed drills happening only days prior to that terrorist attack.

> Irreconcilable differences and the grounds for divorce
Irreconcilable differences and the grounds for divorce
By Katherine Nicholls, writer at Counselling Directory
Published on September 22nd, 2016
It seems that every time a celebrity marriage ends with a divorce announcement, the term "irreconcilable differences" is splashed across tabloids and celebrity magazines. But what are irreconcilable differences and what are grounds for divorce?
The Office for National Statistics estimates that 42% of marriages will end in divorce. The most common reason for divorce is for "unreasonable behaviour" – one of the five 'facts' for grounds for divorce. The other facts are:
desertion
living apart more than two years
living apart more than five years
Irreconcilable differences is a "no-fault" reason for divorce in the United States – meaning there is no one person at fault for the marriage's breakdown. According to West's Encyclopedia of American Law, irreconcilable differences are the "existence of significant differences between a married couple that are so great and beyond resolution as to make the marriage unworkable, and for which the law permits a divorce".
The closest thing to irreconcilable differences in the UK is an "irretrievable breakdown" of the marriage, which serves as a catch-all which is then proved by one of the five facts.
According to the Office for National Statistics, the most common reason cited for divorce is unreasonable behaviour. We asked David Josiah-Lake, a Solicitor with Josiah-Lake Gardiner Solicitors about why that is.
"It's the easiest – that's the honest answer. Because most times, solicitors will agree with each other the facts to be alleged and they can be pretty mild", Josiah-Lake said. "You can make it really neutral, and that's enough for the courts, so rather than [living apart for] two years, you could mark it under behaviour".
But what about couples who are hesitant to legally declare a reason for divorce?
"That is why we go the behavioural route. You can hide a multitude of sins under that," Josiah-Lake said.
So, if perhaps a couple do not want to state a 'fact' like adultery, for example, "… you can cite something much more innocuous to get things moving".
If you have been affected by the issues discussed within this article you may also benefit from discussing your experiences with a professional counsellor in confidence.
In life, much of our happiness stems our relationships, and when one comes to an end it can be very difficult to move on. A counsellor may be able to help you understand previous relationships, allowing you to move forward with positivity.

When you walk through the tea fields of Wuyi Mountains in the end of April, when harvest season is about to begin, you can see the vibrant yellow rows of Bai Ji Guan, standing out from the other green tea bushes. The shape and color of Bai Ji Guan's leaves are its namesake – "white rooster crest". Its leaves, showing a creamy yellowish blush, open like the crown of an old rooster. As the old legend goes, a regal old rooster met his end somewhere near a place called Hui Yuan Rock. The locals, out of reverence for the animal, buried it beneath a nearby tea bush. When the next spring came, they discovered the tea bush was now blooming with bright yellow growth.
This tea is one of the famous ancient varieties. It is rare, like the Sparrow's Tongue, because of its low yield, small leaves, large space requirement, and late harvest time – all traits considered undesirable for commodity tea. The annual production of Bai Ji Guan is very low and because of this, very little is available on the market. Even in the finished product, the leaves of Bai Ji Guan appear light in color, not blackened like traditional rock wulong teas. To preserve this tea's unique, smooth, and floral character, the tea master has not heavily roasted the leaves. When you infuse the tea, you'll find that the thinness and silky smoothness of the leaves' texture is striking. The brewed tea color is a clear and vibrant orange. As the leaves soak water and open, their red edges become visible, showing the slight amount of oxidation usually not visible in other rock wulong tea.

What is going on in Lebanon and why our help is needed
In the last couple of years, Lebanon endured multiple crises, including increasing political instability, an economic and currency collapse, the Covid-19 global pandemic, and a massive explosion in the capital's port. These crises had a major and serious effect on the basic rights and needs of the country's residents.
"Weekly grocery bills can equal months of a typical family's income. Banks are refusing to let people withdraw money. Basic medicines are often unavailable, and gas-station lines can last hours. Every day, many homes lack electricity." That is how the New York Times portrayed the humanitarian catastrophe Lebanon is enduring, due to the economic and financial meltdown that the World Bank described as possibly one of the top three most severe crises episodes globally since the mid-nineteenth century.
How did this happen?
The Lebanese lira has lost more than 90% of its value since October 2019, when anti-government protests erupted. Inflation and prices of basic goods have skyrocketed in the country, which imports more than 80% of its basic goods. As the country's economic and political crisis worsens with no apparent solutions in the near future, the currency continues to lose value. This devaluation of the Lebanese lira is disproportionately affecting the poor and middle class.
According to the World Bank, the social impact, already dire, could become catastrophic; more than half the country's population is likely below the poverty line. And like poverty, unemployment is on the rise. Lebanon has witnessed a dramatic collapse in basic services, driven by depleting foreign exchange reserves and the high cost of the foreign exchange import subsidies on food, fuel, and medication. Acute shortages of fuel have led to severe electricity blackouts across the country. Further, medication is in severe shortage, while health services have suffered heavily.
In addition, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic was especially severe on Lebanon's already vulnerable economy, that relied heavily on tourism. And on top of all that, a massive explosion hit Lebanon's capital, Beirut, in August 2020, killing over 200 people, injuring more than 6000, and leaving 300,000 people without shelter.
Residents of Lebanon, including the Lebanese population, in addition to approximately 1.5 million refugees from neighboring country Syria, are grappling with multiple challenges, caused by the economic and financial meltdown, the political deadlock, as well as the disastrous impacts of the August 2020 blast in Beirut, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing war in Syria.
These challenges spread across all sectors including education, health, shelter, food security and nutrition, water and sanitation, child protection, protection against gender-based violence, and unfortunately much more.
Therefore, it is crucial that Lebanon and its residents receive any form of support possible, so that they may pick up the pieces and restore the country's former image as one of the Middle East's cultural gems.
The Beirut Foundation calls upon individual and corporate donors, as well as international institutions, to stand with Lebanon in its darkest hour.

Getting Muddy With My Little Buddy
GWK Staff | February 16, 2015
"Can we play basketball with that big yellow ball over there, Daddy?"
"I don't think so, little buddy."
"But Daddy, there's a basketball court, and we don't have a ball!"
In all honesty, I did not want to play with the ball my son had spotted. It was deserted in the middle of some grubby shrubs, just far enough away from the reach of a 5-year-old.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not someone who's afraid to get dirty with his kid. But this yellow ball was covered with copious amounts of muck. I'm not talking a little bit of dirt; I'm talking about full on, caked on mud, after three days of torrential rain that can turn the most beautiful garden into a complete sludge pit. And that basketball court, it was covered in even more mud.
"No, buddy. We'll come back here and play another day, and we'll bring our own basketball from home, okay?"
"Awww, okay..."
As I watched my son walk away, sad that we couldn't play, I began to think, "Would we really make the time to come back to this park, basketball in hand?"
Just a couple of years ago, we were at this park almost every week. It was located beside my son's first pre-school. It was where he met many of his first best friends. It was the park where he learned to slide down the twisty slide without having to hold anyone's hand. And it was where he loved to collect sticks, rocks, and other treasures to bring home at the end of the day.
But now my son is older and life is full of new activities. Even though my husband and I have made the conscious decision not to over-program our kids, the reality is, between soccer, hockey, play dates, birthday parties, and family get-togethers, life with two kids is tremendously busy. In fact, I couldn't remember the last time we'd been to this park.
I looked down at the muddy yellow ball again, and noticed some writing. The name of my son's first pre-school was written on the ball. I quickly understood that to my son, this wasn't just a muddy ball; it was a muddy memory and a part of his past. This was a ball which he had spent many afternoons with, trying to master how to throw and catch.
"Wait, buddy!" I called out. "Let me see if I can get that ball."
That afternoon, my son and I played the greatest game of basketball with the muddy yellow ball. Every time the ball hit the ground, dirt and mud exploded all around. By the time we finished our basketball game, we were head to toe covered in muck and grime. It was awesome.
I'll admit, there was moments I would have loved to go back in time; back to when my little buddy was just learning how to throw and catch. But I know I can't. My son is no longer that toddler who, two years ago, could barely get his arms around the yellow ball. He's now a young boy, who can dribble and throw that same ball – and I couldn't be prouder.
In the end, our day at the park was a good reminder: Kids grow up, memories get blurry, and the years fly by. We need to cherish every moment with our kids, and always remember to stop and play with that muddy ball.

❶In these stores of natural treasure, our doctors found many of the precious herbs and plants from which they compounded their medicines, while nomads found rich pasture for their animals, so crucial to the Tibetan economy. The Dalai Lama, also referred to as His Holiness, assumes the roles of head of state and the spiritual leader of Tibet.
As a result of this, he has popularized and still continues to raise the awareness and profile of Buddhism. This is evident in the expansion of adherents from not only its base of Asia, but now throughout the western world as he attracts non-Buddhists into a study of Buddhism, which often results in denominational switching.
This is demonstrated through him receiving over 84 awards, honorary doctorates, prizes etc. His contribution as mentioned above has allowed him to become an international ambassador for world peace, meaning that his legacy is not confined to one geographical region but rather all over the world as he has become a truly respected and recognizable figure.
Through his rhetoric and speeches he has adapted the Buddhist teachings in a contemporary context, causing a direct impact on the Buddhist stance on current ethics. His teachings are not based solely on the concerns of the problems of Tibet but rather he makes a plea to all people to have a sense of compassion and justice. The Dalai Lama set out to use life as an example, because he knew what he was doing was correct and he presented his beliefs in a way, which would empower others to do the same.
Accessed September 15, We will write a custom essay sample on Dalai Lama specifically for you. Leave your email and we will send you an example after 24 hours If you contact us after hours, we'll get back to you in 24 hours or less.
When the people of Lhasa sometimes climbed for pleasure, they chose hills of a reasonable size, and on reaching the top would burn incense; say prayers and relax with a picnic.
Travelers in Tibet traditionally add a stone to the Cairns at the tops of hills or passes with a shout of "Lha-gyal-Io- Victory to the gods". Later, 'Mani stones', stones carved with prayers and other scriptures may be added along with prayer flags.
Only hermits, wild animals, and, in the summer, nomads and their herds actually live high amongst them, but in the simplicity and quiet of our mountains, there is more peace of mind than in most cities of the world. Since the practice of Buddhism involves seeing phenomena as empty of inherent existence, it is helpful for a mediator to be able to look into the vast, empty space seen from a mountain - top. In these stores of natural treasure, our doctors found many of the precious herbs and plants from which they compounded their medicines, while nomads found rich pasture for their animals, so crucial to the Tibetan economy.
But of even wider-ranging impact, the Land of Snow's mountains arc; the source of many of Asia's great rivers. The recent massive floods on the Indian sub-continent and in China can be attributed, in part, to the massive deforestation and environmental destruction that has followed China's violent occupation of Tibet.
For over 1, years we Tibetans have adhered to spiritual and environmental values in order to maintain the delicate balance of life across the high plateau on which we live.
Inspired by the Buddha's message of non-violence and compassion and protected by our mountains, we have sought to respect every form of life, while our neighbors lived undisturbed.
The Dalai Lama's life path is endlessly uplifting as a humanitarian example and his role in modern history is difficult to overestimate. The Dalai Lama was born in to a family of poor farmers in Taktser, a small village in the Amdo province (From Birth to Exile, n.d.) of what was then known as Tibet.
- Dalai Lama His Holiness, the XIVth Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso was born in a small village called Takster in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama.
The present Dalai Lama is the fourteenth incarnation of the Tibetan Bodhisattva. He was born in Amdo, Tibet on July 6, to a farming family. () As a two year-old he was asked to choose from objects that were personal effects of the former Dalai Lama mixed with other similar objects. Writing About Dalai Lama. There are two words that perfectly describe Dalai Lama: wisdom and compassion. Being a true leader of Tibet, the Dalai Lama is living his life .
Essay on The Dalai Lama: A Path to Greater Happiness Words | 7 Pages. The Dalai Lama is a profound believer of peace, compassion, love and nonviolence. He is considered by Tibetan Buddhists to be the reincarnation of the Buddha of Compassion and was meant to lead the people. Dalai Lama Essay The significant people and schools of thought in Buddhism that have the most impact are those that challenge adherents to follow Buddhist teachings more closely. How accurate is this statement in relation to ONE significant person or school of thought, other than the Buddha.
