China prepares large-scale rollout of COVID-19 vaccines – 660 News
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Provincial governments across China are placing orders for experimental, domestically made coronavirus vaccines, though health officials have yet to say how well they work or how they may reach the country's 1.4 billion people.
Developers are speeding up final testing, the Chinese foreign minister said Thursday during a U.N. meeting, as Britain issued approval for emergency use of Pfizer Inc.'s vaccine candidate and providers scrambled to set up distribution.
China's fledgling pharmaceutical industry has at least five vaccines from four producers being tested in more than a dozen countries including Russia, Egypt and Mexico. Health experts say even if they are successful, the certification process for the United States, Europe, Japan and other developed countries might be too complex for them to be used there. However, China said it will ensure the products are affordable for developing countries.
One developer, China National Pharmaceutical Group, known as Sinopharm, said in November it applied for final market approval for use of its vaccine in China. Others have been approved for emergency use on health workers and other people deemed at high risk of infection.
"We must be prepared for large-scale production," said Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, who has overseen much of the country's response, during a visit Wednesday to developers, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Sun visited one of Sinopharm's Beijing subsidiary companies; another producer, Sinovac, and a research lab under the National Medical Products Administration, a regulatory agency that approves medical products for public use.
The government has yet to say how many people it plans to vaccinate. Sun said plans call for vaccinating border personnel and other high-risk populations this month.
The companies are using more traditional techniques than Western developers.
They say unlike Pfizer's vaccine, which must be kept frozen at temperatures as low as minus 70 degrees Celsius (minus 94 Fahrenheit), theirs can be stored at 2 to 8 C (36 to 46F). The Chinese producers have yet to say how they might be distributed.
More than 1 million people in China have received experimental vaccines under emergency use approval. Health experts question why China is using them on such a vast scale now that the outbreak is largely under control within its borders.
Health officials previously said China will be able to manufacture 610 million doses by the end of this year and ramp up to 1 billion doses next year.
The government of Jiangsu province, where the major city of Nanjing is located, issued a procurement notice for vaccines from Sinovac and Sinopharm on Wednesday for emergency use vaccinations.
Authorities in Sichuan province in the west, which has about 85 million people, announced Monday they were already buying vaccines. An official newspaper in Anhui province, southeast of Beijing, said a local residential committee issued a notice asking whether residents want a vaccine.
The Sichuan and Anhui announcements said the vaccine, given in two shots, would cost a total of 400 yuan ($60).
Vaccines from Sinovac and Sinopharm were approved for emergency use in July.
In October, Zhejiang province south of Shanghai offered the public vaccination under emergency use authorization. It said people considered high-risk would get priority.
In November, the Communist Party secretary for Sinopharm said almost 1 million people had received its vaccine.
In September, Sinovac's CEO said about 3,000 of its employees had taken their vaccine. He said the company provided tens of thousands of doses to the Beijing city government.
Developers have yet to disclose how effective their vaccines are and possible side effects.
Sinopharm has clinical trials under way in 10 countries including the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Peru and Argentina with nearly 60,000 volunteers. It has built two facilities in China capable of producing 200 million doses per year.
Sinovac has trials in Brazil, Turkey and Indonesia. Its most recent publicized data, a study in the science journal the Lancet, showed its candidate produced lower levels of antibodies in people than those who had recovered from COVID-19. The company projects it will be able to produce a few hundred million doses of the vaccine by February or March of next year.
Another producer, CanSino, is testing in Russia, Pakistan and Mexico and pursuing partnerships in Latin American countries. Its vaccine, which has been used on an emergency basis with the Chinese military, uses a harmless adenovirus to carry genes into human cells to generate an immune response.
A fourth company, Anhui Zhifei Longcom Biologic Pharmacy Co., is conducting final stage trials across China.

Local reactions to the provincial government's latest lockdown restrictions have been mixed to say the least, and moving into another nearly total shutter on small business operations has many concerned for their future. After Premier Doug Ford announced the second provincial emergency and stay-at-home orders on Jan. 12 in response to alarming surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the province, there was near immediate confusion. Timmins MPP Gilles Bisson said there was a major lack of details from the province. "A lot of people are left scratching their heads, trying to figure out exactly what this staying-at-home order is. The Premier says, 'I don't believe in curfews' but he's doing a stay-at-home order, and quite frankly a stay-at-home order is a type of curfew," Bisson told The Daily Press. The province's release read that the stay-at-home order was "requiring everyone to remain at home with exceptions for permitted purposes or activities, such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services, for exercise or for work where the work cannot be done remotely." Bisson wondered why there was no stringent travel restrictions included in the plan. "I was told there was no ban on travel between regions. So, somebody can go from Timmins to Sudbury or Toronto or wherever. I was also told by the Minister of Solicitor General that if you've got to pick up your son or daughter at university and bring them back home, you can do that." He said the plan is rife with confusion and mixed messages. "The staying-at-home order needs to be clarified. Northerners are prepared to do their bit, but we need to know why government does things, based on good medical and scientific evidence, and make sure that what their orders make sense." Bisson said he's received lot of calls from constituents over the past few days, critical of the provincial orders. "They're saying, 'How come I can go into Walmart and buy something, but I can't go into my local business and buy the same thing?' They can provide the same type of security and probably better safety when it comes to COVID, than what Walmart and other large stores are doing. "People are wondering about this stay-at-home order. They're thinking this is rather ridiculous. If there's a five-person limit on meetings and gatherings, why are we putting kids on buses that have more than five people and putting them in classrooms of more than five people? A lot of people are just very confused." Bisson said he is also concerned with the recent surge in cases, but this latest approach might not be the right move. "Do we need to do something? Absolutely. But what the government needs to do is be clear about what it is they're asking us to do — and they're not doing so." Loralee Boucher, who operates a hair salon as well as a private party lounge in Downtown Timmins, is very concerned about the next few weeks until a new announcement comes from the province. Hair appointments are not considered essential at this time, which is a massive portion of her income. She has been unable to provide her services since Dec. 26. Her hair salon has been in operation for more than nine years. Her second venture, above the salon, is the Top Shelf Lounge which is a licensed rental space popular for parties and private functions, and sometimes offers live entertainment. It opened in August 2019. Boucher said it has been a brutal stretch for the lounge. "Top Shelf has had a minimum 80 per cent decrease in revenue over the holidays, compared to last year, because I wasn't able to rent it out nearly as much as I did last year," she said. In the meantime she has been applying for the various assistance programs offered by the federal government. "I applied for the $900 every two weeks, which is what they gave us, online through the government, and then I applied for the grant that they're offering, somewhere between 10 to 20 thousand," she said, still awaiting the results. She said it would be a much-needed financial boost. "I'm hoping some kind of funds become available. I own the building. So on a single income, by myself, I have two mortgages, my home and my business. I also have double the bills, two hydro bills, two gas bills, two property tax bills and I have multiple insurances, because you have to have two business insurances, health insurance, you name it; car insurance; my vehicle payment on top of that. "I need to make a minimum of $10,000 a month just to pay that." Boucher expressed frustration at the blanket approach the feds took with programs like The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). "The government treats everybody like they're the same, offering everybody just 900 bucks every two weeks. Well how do you explain that I can't pay my mortgage now, or I can't get groceries now, things like that off just a tiny amount? For some people, it's OK, but you're treating everybody equally and some people have a lot more bills than others to account for." The Canada Emergency Rent Subsidy (CERS) is a program offered to help businesses and landlords to cover part of their commercial rent or property expenses. "You can apply for a property tax rebate, but the percentage of that is not clear. I guess it's for them to decide. I know somebody applied for a hydro rebate, and they got $21." Before the pandemic, her salon was booked full nearly every day. She shudders to think about the total of her lost business. "I'm losing so much money, it's crazy." To make it sting a little more, Boucher had also recently made a major investment by adding spa facilities to her salon, including another employee, and some very pricey equipment, only to be shut down a few months later. The only current income is selling some of the hair care products online. "They said they initially closed small businesses to stop the spread of the virus, but after our initial two week shutdown, our numbers went up dramatically." She realized the blame will be on the holiday season, which is likely accurate, but that it proves some people will gather in large groups regardless of provincial orders, which essentially has nothing to do with small businesses. "Small businesses follow the rules. We don't want to get closed down. We don't want to get fines. We wear our masks. We wash our hands. For example, a salon, we're working one on one. There's no more risk going into a hair salon than there is going into a grocery store or Walmart." Boucher said the vast majority of small- to medium-sized businesses have taken the protocols very seriously, and have made the necessary adjustments to their operations in order to be able to provide services safely. "There is no reason why any small business should be shut down, if you're following protocol. If you're not following protocol, that's when you should be shut down." Boucher said she started a local Facebook group called Outside The Box where small business owners can share ideas, supports, advice on grants, and other initiatives. "It's all about helping each other. That's why I created the group in the first place." Although her online sales have been decent, it is but a small fraction of her standard income which relies on personal appointments. However, she does appreciate the support she is getting and feels a silver lining of this whole thing might be a renewed appreciation for local businesses. "The community has been very supportive. A lot of people are doing their part to support local, so that is a very positive outcome." said Boucher. Another downtown business and building owner, Matthew Poulin of Total Martial Arts Centre, is irked by the fact his business can't operate, despite the province stating that people can go out for exercise purposes. "We're actually not sure why. Based on government data, which is on their site, transmission from gyms is under 2.2 per cent and other things that are still open contributed a much higher percentage. Also the restrictions we had in place make us even safer than most gyms. Booking systems, high amount of cleaning daily, 50 per cent capacity for us is 18 people, which is extremely low for a facility of our size," he said. In the meantime, TMAC has attempted to generate some revenue by opening up some online gear sales. "Currently we're bringing back our online gym, which isn't ideal but it's something nonetheless. Also we will be selling memberships for the online gym too," said Poulin. He said he has also applied for "as many grants as possible" to keep his business afloat. "Some of our members were able to keep their accounts open with us to support the gym during this time. Really, if it wasn't for that, we would likely have to close. This second lockdown is scary but we're confident we will make it through." Andrew Autio, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Daily Press
Coronavirus: Ottawa adjusts local vaccine rollout ahead of distribution slowdowns – Global News
Residents of Ottawa's long-term care homes are first in line to receive their second dose of the coronavirus vaccine while some health workers could face delays amid impending shortages of additional doses.
Anthony Di Monte, the head of Ottawa's vaccine distribution task force, said Wednesday that long-term care residents are prioritized to receive their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine within 21-27 days after receiving their initial jab.
Some health-care workers who have already received an initial dose could have to wait closer to 42 days before getting a second injection, Di Monte said, depending on the final allocations provided by the province.
The city's vaccine task force has to prioritize due to an impending shortfall of vaccines. The federal government confirmed on Tuesday that Canada will receive no doses of the Pfizer vaccine during the week of Jan. 25.
Ontario outlines how Pfizer vaccine delivery delay will affect its COVID-19 immunization plan
All doses Ottawa is receiving this week will be allocated towards providing at-risk residents with their second doses, Di Monte said.
Ontario reports 89 new COVID-19-related deaths, 2,655 more cases
All of Ottawa's 28 long-term care homes have received a first-round of doses, with 92 per cent of residents receiving the initial shot.
Ottawa Public Health's COVID-19 dashboard shows the city has now administered 21,951 shots from the 25,350 doses it has thus far received.
Di Monte couldn't say for sure whether the city has enough impending doses for everyone who received a first dose to receive their second, noting the Ottawa Hospital, which receives the vaccines, is "doing that math" now.
The city is also waiting for further directions from the province, expecting "clarity in the next couple days" on the available supply in Ontario.

Prime Minister admits to Sri Lanka committing war crimes?
Courtesy Adaderana
According to the Tamil National Alliance MP M. A. Sumanthiran, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has made a statement that both parties had committed mistakes in the civil war.
He made these comments addressing the youth conference of the Illangai Tamil Arasu Katchi party at the Youth Hall in Jaffna yesterday (16).
He says that there were war crimes – international crimes – had happened during the war; especially towards the end of the war. However, in general, it is a well-known truth that these sort of things happen during war times, he said.
It cannot be refuted and it cannot be covered up or forgotten, he added.
The MP says that up until now the Sri Lankan government has insisted that the war heroes had not committed any wrongdoing.
Sumanthiran claims that Mahinda Rajapaksa, 2 weeks earlier, had accidentally stated that the war heroes have committed war crimes.
However, for the first time ever, the Prime Minister of the country had officially admitted that both parties have committed wrongdoings during the war and this should be appreciated, said he.
He further said that it had taken 10 years to this statement to be made.
Meanwhile, former President and Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa, commenting Prime Minister's alleged statement that war crimes had been committed during the past administration, stated that he can assure that no war crime had occurred at the war during his administration.
Rajapaksa says that defeating terrorism is not a war crime.

They should be called "Kala Wedda"s, the term used by Gonseka.
In India blowing houses with people is not a war crime.
In our country when we wipe out Indian terrorists it is a war crime.

This is the same basted Ranil when he was opposition leader gave indication of 40,000 people would have killed if war with LTTE continued. This the figure was end up in Dusman report.

NEW version of 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' from 'The Lion King' remake divides fans
Disney has unveiled their new version of the iconic song from The Lion King, Can You Feel The Love Tonight and it has left fans rather divided.
Reimagining the song for the live-action remake of the 90s animated movie, are none other than Beyoncé Knowles-Carter who is the voice of Nala and Donald Glover, the voice of Simba.
The snippet of the track – originally made famous by Sir Elton John - appeared in a new 45 second TV spot.
While some Lion King fans absolutely loved the new rendition of the song, others weren't so impressed saying that the song had been "ruined".
"Beyonce already ruining this iconic song," one Disney fan wrote online.
"And here we thought Ariana and John ruined Beauty and the Beast," another added. "Donald and Beyonce have no harmony together."
"Can Donald and Beyonce f*** off. I want Elton," said one angry fan on Twitter.
However, there was also an overwhelming amount of positivity in response to the new Can You Feel The Love Tonight, with many saying they can't wait to hear the full song in cinemas.
"Imagine how beautiful it's going to be when Beyoncé's voice echoes in the theatres," one Lion King fan wrote. "I can't wait."
"Who knew we needed a duet between Beyoncé and Childish Gambino, one of the best!!" another added.
"Dang, I'm impressed with their singing!" one person wrote online. "I didn't think it was actually going to be THAT amazing! That was gorgeous! I can't wait to hear the full song!"

5G and big data: Seven tips for success
5G and big data:
Seven tips for
Author: Mike Elgan
It's widely understood that 5G is set to transform business. But you can't talk about the coming 5G transformation without talking about 5G and big data. And you can't talk about 5G and big data without talking about artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-access edge computing (MEC). There's a ton of change coming. But don't be overwhelmed. Be prepared.
To oversimplify, 5G is needed to distribute AI to the edge and to devices. And AI is needed to bring intelligence to complex 5G networks. Widely distributed AI, edge computing and 5G all should drive very fast, very low-latency interactions throughout an organization. 5G and big data complement each other.
How 5G and big data work together
5G and big data are a key part of the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution. And for the simple reason that most IoT devices exist to produce actionable data.
What makes big data so "big" is that it tends to have the attributes of volume (or amount of data), speed (how fast it needs to be gathered, transmitted and processed), value (business-critical content) and variety (lots of different data types). Big data sets are so complex and enormous that yesterday's database systems can't deal with them.
None of this is static—especially the data processing part, which will increase in importance and magnitude at astronomical rates going forward. 5G networks can be key to providing the bandwidth and remote AI computing that can fuel the business intelligence revolution.
AI uses deep learning to extract business insights from large quantities of data, which can be used to improve operations, logistics, marketing and many other business endeavors.
Let's talk about data processing
The use of 5G and big data with AI-based machine vision is expected to turbocharge factories, helping to optimize assembly lines, reduce downtime and enable preventive maintenance. Using IoT sensors, AI-based predictive analytics can optimize inventory management, cutting costs and minimizing delays. This can be especially powerful in complex manufacturing environments.
All this data processing should not only enhance and optimize business processes, but provide feedback into the intelligent networks for continuous, self-healing optimization.
The data-driven organization of the future features data processing close to its source, either through on-device AI or on-the-edge cloud, all connected via 5G. The performance needed for this intelligent organization comes from low latency enabled by 5G and the edge network.
How to prepare for the new world of 5G and big data
The technology behind 5G and big data are coming into place. But onboarding these technologies without fundamentally changing how you understand and access your networks will only build obstacles into your digital transformation. Here are some essential steps to preparing for the next industrial revolution:
1. Create a transition team
Assemble an internal team representing all parts of the company to take the lead in creating a delivery plan, budget plan, resource analysis and strategy and to spearhead the communication internally. Include executive leadership and business leaders, as well as technology specialists to secure buy-in from the top down. Appoint a solid and experienced leader and, if necessary, add a new position. The delivery plan should include resource requirements and the criteria against which success will be determined.
2. Determine a budget
While a well-strategized 5G and big data investment will yield cost savings in the long run, you'll need investment in the shorter term to realize those savings. Explore the expected costs of 5G equipment (both networking and devices), as well as other infrastructure based on your organization's specific situation and requirements. Develop the most detailed plan you can, considering increased cloud service fees and other services, sensors and tags, IoT devices, training costs, and more.
3. Be a student of 5G
Stay on top of new technical developments on 5G and big data and related technologies as they emerge. Consider all possible solutions, then narrow down the options based on your own circumstantial criteria, including industry, budget, scalability and specific goals. Explore specific use cases for 5G, big data, AI and MEC in your industry and among your competitors. Communicate and evangelize what you have learnedacross the company to generate excitement about what's possible with advanced networks.
4. Strategize
Start with a vision that's based on big-picture goals for the business. Focus on best-case scenarios, such as: What does the best possible customer experience look like? What new markets could we enter? Where do we want the organization to be in 10 years?
Perform a comprehensive review of your current business and larger business strategy, and estimate what's possible in the new world of advanced networks. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and potential growth opportunities. Focus on the "why" and review each area of the business and what's possible with 5G-enabled AI.
5. Upskill your team
A successful 5G and big data plan starts with bringing in the right skills through training, hiring, partnering or some combination of the three. You'll need serious skills in network architecture design, big data processing and probably more programming skills.
6. Review your network design
Think about redesigning your network to support massive quantities of unstructured data with intelligence and data processing as close to the edge as possible. Think through issues with legacy systems. Fully embrace the MEC network architecture to radically drive down latency across the fullest-possible spectrum of network activity. Plan to take advantage of the ability to connect tens of thousands of IoT, mobile and other devices within a single area with 5G and big data.
7. Onboard key partners
A managed services partner can play a major role in developing the architecture for and implementing your next gen infrastructure, bringing expertise and experience to the incredible transformation ahead. Bringing the right partner in early can also add the expertise you need through all stages of the process—helping you choose the best technologies, follow best practices, and assess costs, risks and quality-of-service issues for the solutions under consideration.

Growing up in southeastern Wisconsin, near the Kettle Moraine State Forest, Michelle Downer learned the phrase "Be good to your neighbor" early on.
"It's part of our DNA in Wisconsin, where we organize grassroots fundraisers for families experiencing crises and buy from businesses that care and serve," she said. For Michelle, this translated first to a liberal arts degree earned through service learning at UW-Milwaukee and a master's in library and information science at UW-Madison and then a professional journey to help others through philanthropy.
Her 15 years of advancement services experience bridges positions in higher education, the nonprofit sector and corporate social responsibility. "I'm an enthusiastic advocate for the power of philanthropy and its impact and ability to transform communities, people and institutions."
Keen organizational skills and a fondness for the University of Wisconsin System led her to her current passion, her position as database administrator in University Advancement and the UW-Whitewater Foundation. "I support a dynamic team that enables donors' philanthropic aspirations to be realized at UW-Whitewater," Michelle stated.
Michelle manages the database that houses information about alumni, donors, and other friends of the university. She ensures the integrity and accuracy of donor and gift records and supervises student employees who warmly greet Alumni Center guests.
"I was a first-generation college student, and my experience as a student in our state's public education system helped inspire me to give back to my local and broader communities. I feel blessed that I am part of the family of faculty and staff that help UW-Whitewater students make their aspirations to become a reality," she said.

Jean Piaget: The Man Behind the Lab Coat
Jean Piaget's legacy is one that has affected a wide disparity of disciplines. Commonly acknowledged as one of the foremost psychologists of the 20th century, certainly the premiere child developmental psychologist, Piaget preferred to be referred to as a genetic epistemologist. This is because he identified child psychology as being limited to merely the study of the child, whereas his main focus was the study of the origins, characteristics, and limitations of knowledge, usually as seen in the development in children. It has been said of him that "he approached questions up until then exclusively philosophical, in a resolutely empirical manner, and made epistemology (the study of knowledge), into a science separate from philosophy, but related to all of the human sciences." (Gruber and Voneche, 18)
Developmental psychology is what his renown is based upon, yet Piaget's interests were much more widespread. He is characterized as a "zoologist by training, an epistemologist by vocation, and a logician by method." (Munari, 311) This is in part due to the fact that before achieving prominence in the field of child psychology, Piaget immersed himself in various other fields, such as philosophy, logic, politics, and the sciences. He was very much an interdisciplinary thinker, utilizing what he learned in one arena, in the others. Unlike many of the other prototypes of Howard Gardener's (1993) model, Piaget was able to achieve a respectable level of success in these endeavors, publishing various novels and research papers. Although it is uncertain whether he would have been able to achieve "genius" level in any of these undertakings, it seems to demonstrate his multi-talented personality...

Jean Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Development
Jean Piaget was a successful and inspirational man. He is known all over the world and has contributed to the fields of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and education. Jean was born in Switzerland in 1896 to Arthur Piaget, a professor of literature at the University. He developed an interest in psychoanalysis at the University of Zurich. He was employed at the Binet Institute where he realized through his studies that there are differences in the way children and adults think. Piaget developed four stages of cognitive development. He was very interested in the way children think and so he did many case studies. Jean Piaget formed a theory of cognitive development that deals with "the process of coming to know and the stages we move through
Describes jean piaget as a successful and inspirational man who has contributed to the fields of psychology, sociology, philosophy, and education.
Explains that piaget studied children from infants to teenage years and did interviews with the older kids.
Explains that piaget's cognitive theory has three components: schemas, adaption process, equilibrium, assimilation, accommodation, and stages of development.
Explains that schemas help tell a person how to react to new or incoming information or situations. schemas are extremely important in cognitive development.
Explains that adaptation deals with the adjustment to the world. there are three stages: assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration.
Explains that piaget came up with four stages that each kid must go through in the same order. these stages were universal and happened all over no matter the culture or society.
Explains that piaget states that we are born with a "very basic mental structure" and that infants have reflexes that control their behavior.
Explains that the sensorimotor stage starts at birth and ends around the age of two years old. infants at this stage lack object permanence, deferred imitation, and can move onto the next stage.
Explains that the preoperational stage is concerned with toddlers and young kids ages 2-7. they start to use symbols and develop language abilities, but egocentrism plays a big role.
Explains that concrete operations stage is characterized by the development of logical thought. they understand concepts like transitivity, seriation, decentering, reversibility and classification.
Explains that the formal operational stage deals with adolescence and adults. they can logically think and understand abstract ideas, and also use deductive reasoning. piaget believed this was the last stage of cognitive development.
Explains piaget's theory of cognitive development involves the nature and progression of human intelligence. it deals with how humans come to acquire, construct, and use knowledge.

Theories Of Piaget And Bruner And Mental Development
Jean Piaget was a well-known child psychologist and educator in America; he was born in Neuchatel, Switzerland, in 1896. His college and university training was in the natural sciences. Early on in his career he became fascinated with children's intellectual development, and he spent most of his years collecting a large amount of research information relating to mental development. Piaget's great works have produced an elaborate and comprehensive theory of how intelligence progresses. He has worked as a biologist, Swiss philosopher, psychologist, and educator. Every profession Piaget was in, he left his mark and made great contributions. His greatest impact was towards psychology and education. He preferred to
Explains that jean piaget was a well-known child psychologist and educator in america. his college and university training was in the natural sciences.
Explains how piaget developed a clinical description technique while studying in binet's clinic in 1919. it involves asking children one by one different questions and recording their response.
Explains piaget's view that human development is a process of adaption, while cognition is the highest form of adaptation.
Explains how piaget's theory defines schemas as an activity with neurology or biology underlie that activity. assimilation is the cognitive process in which a person incorporates new perceptual matter or stimulus events into the current pattern of behavior.
Explains that accommodation is when a new schema or an old schema is modified and the child adapts to the stimulus. assimilation and accommodation evolve the infant's inaccurate schemata into mature schemas.
Analyzes how piaget's theory focuses mainly on cognitive development. he believes that the intellectual abilities a child inherits at different ages permits certain types of emotional behaviors.
Explains that the sensorimotor period is when the adolescent learns through their real life experiences. objects exist to the child when they sense and interact with them.
Explains that cause-and-effect relationships take some time to mature, so an infant may not realize that if you reach for an object you can grab it to bring it closer.
Explains that the preoperational stage is when the infant's world consists only of his own actions. the child is unable to reverse operations, cannot follow transformations, and their perceptions are self-centered.
Explains that preconceptual and intuitive thinking are based on ages 2-4, and a child's inability to understand properties of different classes.
Analyzes how piaget categorized the concrete operational period into three different stages. reversibility is when a child understands that both numbers and objects can be changed, then put back in their original form.
Analyzes how the preoperational and concrete operations stage of a child's thinking become decentered when all the significant features of different objects are taken into consideration.
Explains that piaget's theory involves the formal operational stage, which involves ages 11 to adulthood, where the child develops the ability to figure out all classes of problems by using logical actions.
Opines that jean piaget's theory is something that will take time and patience to understand. his distinctive clinical method created the field of developmental psychology.
Opines that piaget's theory was a tough one to understand, but he could've put more thought into the final stage, which is formal operation.
Piaget's Theory Of Jean Piaget
Jean Piaget was a theorist which "who" focused on people's "children's" mental processes (Rathus, S., & Longmuir, S., 2011, p.10). Piaget developed (words missing) how children differentiate and mentally show(tense) the world and how there , thinking , logic , and problem solving ability is developed (Rathus, S., & Longmuir, S., 2011 , p.10). Piaget analyzed that children's cognitive processes develop in an orderly sequence or series (Rathus, S., & Longmuir, S., 2011 , p.11) . But each stage show how children understand the world around them. – sentence fragment; should be joined to the previous sentence. Every child goes through the same development"al" steps but some are more advance(d) than others . Piaget described four stages of child

Explains piaget's concept of sensorimotor, which refers to the first two years of the cognitive development.
Opines that toys meet the piaget needs because in the first substage infants tend to focus on the identifying objects.
Explains that they loved rattle and teddy bear when they were little. rattle is made up of wood or plastic cloth that makes a series of short or loud noises when it is shaken.
Explains that preoperational (word missing) is the second stage of jean piaget's theory that lasts from about 2 to 7 years of age.
Explains that leggo is a game that is used to learn the mini figures how to build up.
Describes how they played with their kitchen set, barbie doll houses, and bicycles when they were infants. the toy can meet piaget's developmental needs.
Jean Piaget Parenting Project
Have you ever been out in public and seen someone else's child misbehaving? What would you do if it was your child? Would you just stand there and watch? Would you ignore the behavior? Or would you step in and set them straight? For children to learn you have to teach. Children like to watch and do what other people do, so if you do not teach them while there young it might not be the best when they grow older. Teaching children sometimes can be hard, but it's always better to teach them so they can do better next time. Children haven't been on this world as long as adults so they do not always know how to do things, and what the right thing to do is, that's why we need to help them.
Opines that for children to learn you have to teach. children like to watch and do what other people do, so if you do not teach them while there young it might not be the best when they grow older.
Explains that jean piaget was born on august 9th, 1896, in neuchatel, switzerland.

Explains piaget's theory of children and adults thinking differently. children aren't as experienced in life as adults.
The Four Stages Of Jean Piaget's Cognitive Theory
The great theorist Jean Piaget was born on August 9th, 1896 in Switzerland. He distinguished four stages of cognitive development and called them the schemas. He also constructed new fields of scientific study, including cognitive theory and developmental psychology. He summed up his passion for the ongoing pursuit of scientific knowledge with these words: "The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly." He received the Erasmus Prize as well as the Balzan prize. Piaget died of unknown causes in 1980 in Switzerland
Explains that jean piaget distinguished four stages of cognitive development and called them the schemas. he also constructed new fields of scientific study, including cognitive theory and developmental psychology.
Explains that piaget studied 'genetic epistemology' in which he focused on the origin of thinking and the fundamental categories of it.
Explains piaget's concept of 'object permanence', which is an understanding that even if the children did not see objects, they do not cease to exist to them.
Explains that the preoperational stage occurs for children who are 2 to 7 years old. children engage themselves at pretend-play and make-believes.
Explains that children ages 7 to 11 go through the concrete operational stage. they become more conservative and less ego-centered than they used to be.
Explains that children who are in the formal operational stage are often 12 years or older. they get to learn about abstract ideas and moral reasoning.
Explains that piaget believed that children's brains did develop while they physically grow, and that at each stage they go through, they grow in a clear pattern.
Explains that there are four main stages of this theory, which are categorized into many substages each. the first is sensorimotor. babies going through this phase get the knowledge through their senses and exploration.
Explains the reflexes, the primary circular reaction, and the second subgroup, which revolve around the display of coordination sensation and satisfaction. infants grow more aware and focused on the world around them.
Explains the fourth stage is the coordination of secondary circular reaction. children start to show intentional actions to achieve their desired effect like imitating the observed behavior of others.
Explains that the fifth phase is the tertiary circular reaction, in which the child begins to experience with different sounds and actions through a trial-and-error pattern.
Explains that children's imagination roams free and begin to understand the world through mental imagery and free play rather than the pure action of cause-and-effect.
Narrates how they experimented with two of their siblings, fatima and khalid, using a white sheet of paper and ten coins in two rows.
Narrates how they experimented with khalid and asked him if the two rows had the same amount of coins or more than the other.
Analyzes how khalid spaced out one of the rows and asked if they both had the same amount of coins. he pointed at the shorter row and said that it had more coins than the longer row.
Narrates how they took khalid out of the room and brought fatima in. they laid down the sheet and counted the coins. both rows had the same length.
Explains that fatima counted the coins in each row again and told them that they both have the same amount.
Explains that khalid and fatima had solid reasoning behind their choices. they counted coins as they laid them down and when both rows were at the same length.
Explains that khalid did not count coins after spaced out one row, whereas fatima did, and the way they thought was different, even though they both went through the same process.
Concludes that the older the child gets, the more complicated but understanding their minds get. khalid was unable to give the correct answer, while fatima did it without any problems.
Opines that their research proved that piaget's theory is correct, especially for teachers because it tells them what to expect from young children.
Jean Piaget Learning Theory
Piaget Learning Theory Jean Piaget is a Switzerland psychologist and biologist who understand children's intellectual development. Piaget is the first to study cognitive development. He developed the four stages of cognitive development: the sensori-motor stage, preoperational stage, the concrete operational and the formal operational stage. Piaget curiosity was how children cogitate and developed. As they get mature and have the experience, children's will get knowledgeable.
Explains that jean piaget is a switzerland psychologist and biologist who understands children's intellectual development. he developed the four stages of cognitive development: sensori-motor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational.
Explains that children develop sensori-motor stage, from birth to two years old, which notices that they change from reflex behaviors and become alert of object perpetuity by using schemas to explore see the sights of situations.
Explains that children's languages expand and learn on how things come into sight to them. concrete operational stages are children aged seven to eleven. they develop the ability to categorize objects and how they relate to one another.
Explains that formal operational stage begins in adolescence and is characterized by logical though. it involves youth being capable to reflect of what they think, create theories on various states, such as anxiety or depression.
Explains that piaget defined schema as a cohesive, repeatable action sequence possessing component actions that are tightly interconnected and governed by core meaning.
Explains that wadsworth (2004) suggests that schema is the thought of an index cards filed in the brain, each one telling an individual how to react to incoming stimuli or information. piaget viewed intellectual growth as a process of adaptation to the world through the operations of assimilation and accommodation.
Explains how piaget's theory can be applied to learning and education. he developed four stages of cognitive development: sensori-motor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational stage.
Cites arrington, e. g., and bandura, a.

Explains piaget, cook, and porton's book, adolescent behavior and society: a book of readings.
Piaget Stage Theory
Jean Piaget was a developmental psychologist that studied how children flourish and the process of how they learn. Throughout his study he followed many children and performed many test trying to provide facts and proof on how children learn best. Through many trial and errors Piaget came up with the stages of cognitive development which he broke down into four sub-stages. These stages are:
Explains the sensorimotor stage where the baby begins learning through his senses and body control.
Explains that preoperational stage begins around age two through seven when the child enters pre-school level, begins talking in two word sentences, and is beginning to experience a more complete understanding of object permanence.
Explains that the concrete operational stage is from age seven till eleven which expends on the pre-operational thinking as well as logic skills.
Explains that formal operational begins around age eleven and ends around 15 in which the child builds upon logic thinking while developing skills leading to adulthood.
Explains how they set up the easel, art area, and sand and water area to make it a full self-help and hands-on area.

Describes how they set up the carpet area, the music center, and the dramatic play area.
Explains piaget's four domains that enhance child growth throughout each stage: pre-conceptual, transductive, syncretic, and animistic.
Explains that the transductive domain is a child's state of reasoning and how he/she classifies rules and objects. a good activity would be allowing children to be interactive in the rule making.
Explains that the syncretic domain is how a child groups items together according to shape, size, color, etc. a good center to display these types of activities would be the sand and water table or toys and games.
Explains how piaget's developmental stage theory shines light on play and how each stage enhances children's learning outcomes throughout life.
Explains that piaget's stage theory gives us a foundation of learning to help children reach their full potential in each stage of life.
Explains how piaget focuses on how children develop intellectually as well as perceive the world around them.

Developments in Norway are rarely analyzed abroad – not even in Israel, despite the fact that Norway was the most problematic country in Europe for Israel from 2005-13. Under governments led by Labor Party leader Jens Stoltenberg, anti-Israel attitudes flourished. There were also extreme expressions of anti-Semitism, including shots fired by a Muslim at Oslo's only synagogue. In 2012, the well-known Norwegian author Hanne Nabintu Herland called Norway the "most anti-Semitic country." The recent surprise victory of Prime Minister Erna Solberg, the Conservative leader, could alter this dynamic for the better.

In an effort to bring holiday cheer to the less fortunate, the Club holds an annual Adopt A Family fundraiser to raise money for gifts and necessities for those in need. Once the money is raised, each department within the Club will "adopt" one to three families and purchase clothing and toys for the children, housewares and other items that most families take for granted to provide a Christmas they wouldn't necessarily have.
In addition to Adopt A Family, the Club also participates in The Tree of Joy. The Tree of Joy is a Christmas tree placed in the lobby every year that contains the names of children from Le Roy Haynes Center. On each ornament is the name, age, gender and holiday wish that each child has. Members and employees then take it upon themselves to fulfill this holiday wish and bring a little joy during the holiday season to a less fortunate child in the community.

El escroto de violonchelo es una afección médica falsa que se publicó originalmente como un breve informe - (cartas al director) - de caso en el  British Medical Journal (BMJ) en 1974. Como su nombre indica, supuestamente era una afección del escroto que afectaba a los concertistas masculinos del violonchelo.

Historia
La carta original fue escrita por Elaine Murphy, pero firmada por su esposo John como una broma para compararla con una carta anterior sobre el 'pezón de guitarra', una condición que, según se informa, ocurre cuando algunos estilos de tocar la guitarra irritan excesivamente el pezón . (una forma de dermatitis de contacto similar al pezón de los corredores ), que Murphy y su esposo creían que probablemente era una broma.

Murphy, posteriormente,  señaló que incluso un estudio superficial de la postura del violonchelista mostraría que la queja del "escroto del violonchelo" no ocurriría. La improbabilidad de que la postura de un violonchelista contribuya a una lesión escrotal se planteó en 1974, pero parece que se pasó por alto.

Murphy admitió el engaño en 2009 - 35 años después - en otra carta al BMJ   después de que un artículo en la edición de Navidad de 2008 del BMJ hiciera referencia a la denuncia.  La veracidad del informe del caso ya había sido cuestionada en la literatura médica en 1991.  Otros lo han citado, aunque expresando escepticismo.

Séamus Mac Suibhne discutió las implicaciones de esta y otras cartas médicas engañosas para la medicina basada en la evidencia y la comprensión pública de la ciencia .

Home » Location » Malta » In the exception, the rule.
It is said that after prostitution, realty (Real Estate) is the oldest existing profession. Many are convinced that by using the services of either, one stands to get screwed.
We at RE/MAX are striving to erase this false concept regarding our business.
RE/MAX Tigne franchise is owned by Mike Bonello. Mike's first experience in business was actually in catering, which is what his family had been doing for years. When his father decided to close shop and retire nine years ago, Mike wasn't exactly sure what would happen to his business career. As chance would have it, Mike's mother was interested in selling off her Sliema property for development. He was only 22 years old then, but that experience helped him grasp an initial understanding of how it all works. By coincidence, he found himself marketing a property as well as dealing with contractors, developers and prospective buyers. Mike was then recruited as a property associate/consultant in the letting department of an estate agency, where he worked for the two years that followed. After learning the ropes, he was quickly recruited by Kevin Buttigieg, regional director of RE/MAX Malta as their first sales associate/consultant. This was the time when there was hardly any listing on their database compared to today where they have thirty thousand plus properties. During the next three years, Mike won the accolade of top sales associate/consultant for RE/MAX Malta.
Mike always dreamt of owning and running his own office. At RE/MAX everyone works in an atmosphere that allows such dreams to come true. When he came across the opportunity to take over an office that was going to open in Tigne – a location which seemed very interested in, he grabbed it. A prime location isn't enough to guarantee the quality of a business outlet. On the contrary, it is likely for any operator that relies on passing trade, to discount the need of providing an outstanding service. A real estate agency located right in the best part of Tigne, Sliema is almost comparable to a tourist-oriented trattoria in the heart of Rome, being so ideal that one can hardly expect much quality. There are exceptions and Mike Bonello's concept was one of them. His motivational qualities, sensitivity to good quality service, drive and willingness to succeed, helped no end in achieving success.
Finding a team of 14 associates/consultants was no easy task. Very often, people attracted to this profession would have already dabbled in other types of business. This happens for various reasons, but mainly because when you work within a self-employed structure you get used to earning high enough amounts in accordance to your capabilities. When one gets accustomed to this system, it is understandable that fitting in a steady-wage-structure in employment is difficult. Many people who would have been formerly involved in business find the prospect of joining an estate agency quite attractive. RE/MAX Tigne has been lucky enough to come across people who have contacts, experience, are thick-skinned, resourceful and possess a host of skills and capabilities. All efforts were made to make sure to balance out the team with a minority of associates/consultants that are new to the industry. This melange of resources works out well because while there is a lot to learn from the senior associates/consultants, the "younger" ones rub off new energy, creativity and freshness on the rest of the team. Staff turnover is negligible here and the team is very happy and motivated. With regards to training, an American system is used and this has worked out well so far. Foreign trainers are frequently brought over, while local ones keep educating the team throughout the year. The branch managers make sure they value the team, recognise their efforts and, of course and reward them for good results. Hefty targets were set on the associates/consultants when Tigne office opened, and these are raised accordingly every consecutive year. This has kept the team progressing and working harder.
It might be true that even when you have strict recruitment policies, you cannot always guarantee that you will never be let down. From our end, there was never one incident in which our customers were fooled, and it can hardly ever happen. The branch managers are always present in negotiations. They are physically there with associates/consultants for all second viewings. This not only shows the associates/consultants that they care to help them out, but it keeps the office fully informed of the goings-on of every single deal, in a hands-on way.
Each associate/consultant is asked to focus on one of three sectors – first time buyers, second home buyers or up-market investors. The latter is of course extremely lucrative. The office has been blessed with a location surrounded by very lucrative properties at Tigne Point, Portomaso and Fort Cambridge among others. That said, although the reward-per-sale ratio is significantly high with high end properties, one cannot expect to sell one every day. Lower priced properties expose us to greater quantities. Low priced sales keep the ball rolling simply because we make more of them, more often.
The future looks good, even though the world economies are presently in such a bad state. Having employed some of the best associates/consultants, RE/MAX Tigne is a very successful one. RE/MAX Malta, on the other hand, is rapidly becoming one of the largest and best selling real estate agencies in Malta. Internationally, RE/MAX is the largest, having 6,500 offices in 72 countries – and employing over 95, 000 associates/consultants. Every property in Malta is listed and featured in a common international database, with every consultant having access to it. It is virtually impossible to have this type of exposure if you list your property with other estate agencies in Malta.
The office will continue doing it's best to keep the associates/consultants happy, motivated and on the ball. It will also make sure that customer satisfaction is continuously maintained. This will guarantee that the office will keep its place as one of the best RE/MAX offices locally, aiming to secure as large a portion as possible of the national property market.


How Does the Community Foundation Work?
It starts with DONORS (Individuals, Corporations, Private Foundations, NonProfit Organizations), with a PASSION (Arts, Education, Environment, Community Wellness, Faith), who use their GIFTS (Cash, Securities, Real Assets, Retirement Funds, Insurance, Bequests), to CREATE Endowed Funds (Agency Funds, Designated Funds, Unrestricted Funds, Field of Interest Funds, Scholarships), all of which are governed by a legal agreement between the Morton Community Foundation and the donor. DISTRIBUTIONS from the endowments fulfill the donors' charitable passions through SCHOLARSHIPS for students, or GRANTS to charitable organizations. Our staff meets with donors to help determine which type of fund is right for their goals, assist donors with giving more complex gifts, help donors grow their funds, provide statements on fund activity, offer expertise on community needs, and preserve the donors wishes in perpetuity.
Many people come to a point in their lives where they feel inclined to give back. They do so for a number of reasons, all very personal to them. What motivates you? Perhaps you feel strongly about a cause. Perhaps an organization has touched your life or the lives of loved ones. Maybe you want to create a legacy and set an example that inspires others to give. Or your giving is a way to get your family together and pass along your values to younger generations.
For as many motivations as there are to give, there are ways of giving. The key to having a rewarding giving experience is finding the best fit—for your charitable priorities, financial goals, and personal preferences. This checklist is designed to help you and your professional advisor determine the custom giving solution that's right for you.
A half century ago, Paul Cesarz made a choice that continues to benefit his community today. He created an endowed fund in 1952 with $150,000 in assets. The fund immediately began earning income and distributing grants to causes important to him. Fifty years later and 35 years after Paul's death, the Cesarz Fund had grown to $1,066,003. And in that 50th year, it generated more than $50,000 in grants, supporting a range of community needs—a park renovation, a museum exhibit, cancer research, and more. Because Paul chose to endow his gift, he has enabled more than $1.1 million in grants to go to his community—almost eight times the impact he would have made by giving the original gift to charity all at once. And though Paul has passed away, the fund in his name will go on supporting his community, leaving a lasting legacy.
This example comes from another Community Foundation, but it can happen in Morton too. We'd love to help you set up an endowment that creates a permanent source of revenue for charities or charitable purposes that are close to your heart. CLICK HERE for an example of a fund that was established upon the death of the donor, to support her 8 favorite charities... forever.
THERE ARE A VARIETY OF GIVING OPTIONS. You can give to an existing fund, or create your own fund. Choose the type of fund that's right for you. A fund can be started with a minimum commitment of $10,000. You don't need to give all $10,000 at once, though. A gift of as little as $1,000, along with a commitment to at least $1,000/yr until the fund reaches $10,00, can get a fund started.
ESTABLISH A FUND IN YOUR NAME. Any of the funds can be established in your name, or in the name of your family, your organization, or anyone you wish to remember or honor. All grants distributed from the fund you establish - today and in the future - are then awarded to charities in the name of that fund. It's a great way to always be involved with, and remembered for, your community investment.
Naming the Morton Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement plan or life insurance policy is not only easy to do, it is also a way to make a significant and lasting gift to our community that may not be possible during your lifetime.
One of the most tax-efficient ways to give back to your community is by designating the Morrton Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, whether it is a 401(k), 403(b), IRA (individual retirement account), or other qualified retirement program. These assets could be taxed at rates as high as 75 percent upon your death. Estate taxes may be due in addition to the taxes your heirs may pay on the income in respect of the decedent (IRD). For these reasons, many advisors recommend retirement plan assets as the first to be designated for charitable purposes. Although your retirement plan beneficiary form overrides your will, it is important that both documents are up-to-date and consistent.

Many of our PhD students are researching in the area of responsible business. Below are a just a few of the projects being carried out across the School.
Jorge Soguero Escuer: International Trade and the Agri-food Sector
My research explores the impact of international trade on the agri-food sector in multiple ways. We will look at how free trade agreements can reshape countries' food systems and, thus, food consumption patterns. Ultimately, we analyse how trade liberalization changes countries' health expenditure due to obesity-driven health problems. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of sugar consumption on people's health expenditure. I will also seek to further evidence on the importance of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) as major trade friction in the agricultural sector.
Hind Alsudays: Pay Inequalities in Saudi Arabia
Despite the recent reforms and the improvement of women's rights in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), as led by Mohammad bin Salman, which include allowing tourist visas to women over the age of 25, granting women the right to drive, and hiring Uber and Careem female drivers; gender inequalities (e.g., pay disparity) remain a serious issue in KSA. Disparity in pay can have notable effects on the economy and welfare of society. Given that Saudi women's average (or median) hourly pay is significantly lower than that of men, this study is concerned with pay inequalities between men and women (or gender pay gap) in Saudi Arabia, and therefore seeks to identify the extent of pay inequalities and the factors underlying these inequalities (e.g. gender, age, hours worked, job experience, marital status, level of education, and occupation chosen), especially because inequalities in pay are not necessarily evidence of discrimination against Saudi women in the labour market.
Samantha Sandilands: Global Food Waste and Social Business Models
My research aims to investigate how the global food waste problem is being addressed using social business models through the use of international comparative case studies. The study will attempt to identify changes in behaviour and challenges as a result of a variety of different types of food waste regulation, and how this may differ to a country without any formal regulation but where food waste has seen high levels of improvement over recent years. This qualitative study will be underpinned by a constructivist, interpretivist philosophical standpoint and will involve interviewing key stakeholders in social businesses, looking at documentation and conducting some observations to get an overall picture of how effective current initiatives are and how businesses have adapted to new regulations. This information may then be used to identify potential impact on organisations in the UK.
Madlen Sobkowiak: National Biodiversity Performance
As the world is currently facing the sixth mass extinction event, various scholars within the discipline of Social and Environmental Accounting have looked at ways to halt biodiversity loss by bringing biodiversity into organisational decision making. Extant accounting for biodiversity literature has sought to explain how different kinds of organisations have achieved various forms of calculability for performance in relation to biodiversity, with much of this work focussing on corporate reporting. However, international goals and targets have placed primary responsibility to halt biodiversity loss with national governments. As part of these international agreements, governments have to account for and report on their national biodiversity, which is seen as being key to decision making. My research tries to understand how the UK government seeks to achieve calculability for its national biodiversity performance, thus enabling it to formulate policies to address the challenge of biodiversity loss.
Raeni: Sustainable Finance
Emerging countries face a challenge in the development of energy, infrastructure, and other carbon-intensive projects in pursuing welfare for their citizens. At the same time, these countries are also vulnerable to the impact of climate change. Therefore, the development of low carbon industries, the Paris Agreement, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 have become a significant concern for various nations. In shifting financings away from the risk of climate risk, organisational fields, including public sectors and related institutions, play a pivotal role in transforming to sustainable development. In translating commitment to embrace sustainable finance, this research will examine how organisation fields articulate sustainability issues within project finance operations, how the intersectional works develop the coherency of the identity across them, and how the impacts of these processes on the accountability of the organisation fields on their social and environmental assessment.
Our researchers and academic experts work across a wide range of areas that have an impact on policy making for the better of society. Below is a list of recent contributions to policy change or engagement from our academics:
Transition to Electric Vehicles: Stimulating Local Authorities to address charging infrastructure challenges (Dr Nana O Bonsu)
Knife crime accross Police Force areas: The economy matters (Professor Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, Professor Anindya Banerjee and Juliana C. Pinto)
Shared Parental Leave (Dr Holly Birkett and Dr Sarah Forbes)
