PRIMARY EDUCATION.
St Anne Mary's Primary School first took shape in 2015 following the purchase of a half hectare strip of land in Kafunjo village. Using earth and the first few bags of cement we were able to purchase, Bruno and his brother Robert began the Herculean task of making the 4000 mud bricks that one day would take the form the first 2 classroom block.
4 months later the first classroom stood and the first children were welcomed into their new school. In those early years we employed the village elders to lead the first lessons while our small army of supporters raised funds to begin the construction of additional classrooms.
In 2017 the school was formally registered with the Ugandan Ministry of Sports and Education and with continuing support we were able to employ full time registered teachers to take on the role of teaching the Ugandan National Curriculum which covered Maths, Science, Religious Studies, English and Social Studies.
Today we have 350 children, spread across 7 primary classes who receive free primary level education from a staff of 13 teachers.
We are extremely proud of the level of education that we provide with St Anne Mary's Primary receiving the highest Primary 7 exam grades in the sub-district in 2019.
In addition to academic studies we also encourage the children to pursue creative pursuits such as art, music and drama. Like many places across Africa, football is the most celebrated activity and Kafunjo is no different therefore Kafunjo now has its own football team (The Kafunjo Dream Team) which competes with other primary school teams across the district.
In addition to providing a high standard of education at the school, each child is also given a free school meal each day which consists of a bowl of "posho and beans", the celebrated Ugandan staple. The health of the children is also a high priority and therefore if a child becomes ill then we will endeavour to cover the medical costs whilst facilitating trips to the hospital.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of XPO Logistics, Inc. - XPO
Pomerantz LLP
Dec 13, 2018, 13:23 ET
NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2018 /CNW/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of XPO Logistics, Inc. ("XPO" or the "Company") (NYSE: XPO). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at [email protected] or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.
The investigation concerns whether XPO and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
[Click here to join a class action]
On December 12, 2018, Spruce Point Management ("Spruce Point") published a report regarding XPO, entitled "Trucking Ridiculous; End of the Road". The Spruce Point report asserted that a "forensic investigation" into XPO had revealed "financial irregularities that conveniently cover [the Company's] growing financial strain and inability to complete additional acquisitions despite repeated promises." Spruce Point reported that it had uncovered, among other issues, "concrete evidence to suggest dubious tax accounting, under-reporting of bad debts, phantom income through unaccountable M&A earn-out liabilities, and aggressive amortization assumptions: all designed to portray glowing 'Non-GAAP" results." The Spruce Point report further stated that "XPO insiders have aggressively reduced their ownership interest in the Company since coming public, and recently enacted a new compensation structure tied to 'Adjusted Cash Flow Per Share'–defined in such a non-standard way that it is practically meaningless." Following publication of the Spruce Point report, XPO's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on December 13, 2018.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

The Prague Appeal for Democratic Renewal
VHLF June 2, 2017 News
Source: Forum 2000 / www.forum2000.cz /
Adopted in Prague on May 26, 2017
Liberal democracy is under threat, and all who cherish it must come to its defense.
Democracy is threatened from without by despotic regimes in Russia, China, and other countries that are tightening repression internally and expanding their power globally, filling vacuums left by the fading power, influence, and self-confidence of the long-established democracies. The authoritarians are using old weapons of hard power as well as new social media and a growing arsenal of soft power to create a post-democratic world order in which norms of human rights and the rule of law are replaced by the principle of absolute state sovereignty.
Democracy is also being threatened from within. Liberalism is on the rise in Turkey, Hungary, the Philippines, Venezuela, and other backsliding democracies. In other countries – even long-established democracies – support for liberal democracy has eroded in recent years, especially among younger people who have no memory of the struggles against totalitarianism. Faith in democratic institutions has been declining for some time, as governments seem unable to cope with the complex new challenges of globalization, political processes appear increasingly sclerotic and dysfunctional, and the bureaucracies managing both national and global institutions seem remote and overbearing. Compounding the difficulties, terrorist violence has created a climate of fear that is used by despots and demagogues to justify authoritarian power and restrictions on freedoms.
Such problems have caused widespread anxiety, hostility to political elites and cynicism about democracy – feelings that have fueled the rise of anti-system political movements and parties. These sentiments, in turn, have been stoked and inflamed by authoritarian disinformation, which increasingly penetrates the media space of the democracies. The latest Freedom House survey shows that political rights and civil liberties have been on the decline for eleven consecutive years, and this year established democracies dominate the list of countries suffering setbacks in freedom.
Collectively, these factors – the geopolitical retreat of the West, the resurgence of authoritarian political forces, the erosion of belief in democratic values, and the loss of faith in the efficacy of democratic institutions – have brought a historic halt to democratic progress and threaten a possible "reverse wave" of democratic breakdowns. Democracy's supporters must unite to halt the retreat and to organize a new coalition for its moral, intellectual, and political renewal.
The starting point of a new campaign for democracy is a reaffirmation of the fundamental principles that have inspired the expansion of modern democracy since its birth more than two centuries ago. These principles are rooted in a belief in the dignity of the human person and in the conviction that liberal democracy is the political system that can best safeguard this dignity and allow it to flourish. Among these principles are fundamental human rights including the basic freedoms of expression, association, and religion; political and social pluralism; the existence of a vibrant civil society that empowers citizens at the grass roots; the regular election of government officials through a truly free, fair, open, and competitive process; ample opportunities beyond elections for citizens to participate and voice their concerns; government transparency and accountability, secured both through strong checks and balances in the constitutional system and through civil society oversight; a vigorous rule of law, ensured by an independent judiciary; a market economy that is free of corruption and provides opportunity for all; and a democratic culture of tolerance, civility, and non-violence.
These principles are being challenged today not only by apologists for illiberalism and xenophobia, but also by relativist intellectuals who deny that any form of government can be defended as superior. Although democracy is often considered a Western idea, its most fervent defenders today are people in non-Western societies who continue to fight for democratic freedoms against daunting odds. Their struggles affirm the universality of the democratic idea, and their example can help bring about a new birth of democratic conviction in the world's advanced democracies.
Despite its intrinsic value, democracy's survival cannot be assured unless it can demonstrate its ability to help societies meet the challenges of a changing and unstable world. We acknowledge the deep anxiety and insecurity of large segments of democratic societies and believe that democracy will be strong only if no group is left behind.
While democracy embodies universal values, it exists in a particular national context, what Vaclav Havel called the "intellectual, spiritual, and cultural traditions that breathe substance into it and give it meaning." Democratic citizenship, rooted in such traditions, needs to be strengthened, not allowed to atrophy in an era of globalization. National identity is too important to be left to the manipulation of despots and demagogic populists.
The defense of democratic values is not a luxury or a purely idealistic undertaking. It is a precondition for decent, inclusive societies; the framework for social and economic progress for people throughout the world; and the foundation for the preservation of international peace and security.
A new Coalition for Democratic Renewal will serve as a moral and intellectual catalyst for the revitalization of the democratic idea. The goal is to change the intellectual and cultural climate by waging a principled, informed, and impassioned battle of ideas; defending democracy against its critics; working to strengthen mediating institutions and civil associations; and fashioning persuasive arguments for liberal democracy that can shape the course of public discussion. It will also be necessary to go on the offensive against the authoritarian opponents of democracy by demonstrating solidarity with the brave people who are fighting for democratic freedoms, and by exposing the crimes of kleptocrats who rob and oppress their own people, falsify the political and historical record, and seek to divide and defame established democracies.
The Coalition will also be a broad and interactive forum for the exchange of ideas about the best ways to address complex new challenges facing democracy such as static or declining living standards for many citizens, the backlash against increased immigration, the rise of "post-truth politics" in an age of social media, and the erosion of support for liberal democracy. Such a global hub would also advocate and promote effective forms of action to revive faith in the efficacy of democratic institutions.
There is no excuse for silence or inaction. We dare not cling to the illusion of security at a time when democracy is imperiled. The present crisis provides an opportunity for committed democrats to mobilize, and we must seize it.

News at IU Bloomington
IU Theatre staging online summer series of student and alumni performances, interviews
Biweekly episodes of 'IU Theatre Thursdays!' will be broadcast throughout the summer on Facebook and YouTube
A new biweekly series from the Indiana University Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance will showcase the department's students, faculty and alumni through performances, interviews and more.
"IU Theatre Thursdays!" episodes will be broadcast May 28 to Aug. 6 on the department's Facebook page and YouTube channel, where they will be archived. Each episode will last 45 minutes to an hour. Richard Roland, head of the department's musical theater program, is the producer and director.
Richard Roland
"Having canceled the IU Summer Theatre 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, we wanted to create another channel to share our students', faculty's and alumni's creativity on a regular basis this summer," Roland said.
"The episodes will feature students performing songs, monologues, dances and poems; interviews with alumni and retiring or incoming faculty and staff; and segments that highlight the design and technical elements of theater. Also, the Summer Theatre 2021 season will be announced during an episode in July."
Danielle McKnight, who earned her BFA in musical theater in 2020, will participate in "IU Theatre Thursdays!" McKnight said the online series builds upon skills she honed at IU, including being flexible in unusual circumstances.
"In the world of live theater, mistakes and changes are normal, and being a good performer means learning how to adapt to new situations," McKnight said. "So instead of doing staged plays, right now we do plays on Zoom. We learn new skills so we can keep performing and creating even if our medium has changed.
"I'm so excited to see the amazing creativity that will flourish from 'IU Theatre Thursdays!' and I can't wait to be part of the magic."

How Much Does it Cost to Install a Ceiling Fan in Glendora?
What type of electrical project is this?
Materials $221
Calculate Custom Price Example based on 1 fan
Ceiling Fan Installation can increase the value of your home by $516
Ceiling fan installation in Glendora has many benefits that you can take advantage of. One of these benefits is that ceiling fans are cost-effective. You can use ceiling fans instead of an air conditioning unit when the weather is warm or a bit hot. This can help reduce the costs of your energy consumption. A Glendora ceiling fan installation is also environment-friendly. When it reduces your energy consumption, it also lessens your carbon footprint. As opposed to the air conditioning unit, ceiling fans can be easily maintained. Removing dirt and dust from the fan's blades is easy and can be done in just a matter of minutes. You can also have ceiling fan installation in Glendora with lightings. This feature can help provide additional lighting to any room. Also, because ceiling fans are installed in ceilings, they're a great space saver. A ceiling fan installation in Glendora can also add to the aesthetic appeal of your home's interior. Depending on the design and style of the ceiling fan that you purchase, you can have a more Victorian feel to your room or a much modern one because of a Glendora ceiling fan installation.
On average, most homeowners spend as low as $80 and as high as $600 for a ceiling fan installation in Glendora with the average costs falling around $140 to $350. The style of the ceiling fan that you choose has an impact on the cost of your Glendora ceiling fan installation. Also, the size of the fan can affect the cost.

If your ceiling fan is an addition to your home, make sure that it can be supplied with enough energy. Same goes if it has lights attached to it. Another factor that can increase the cost of a Glendora ceiling fan installation is the wiring system.

What Is the Full Form of the Ada Programming Language?
The Ada programming language is not an acronym and is named after Augusta Ada Lovelace. This modern programming language is designed for large systems, such as embedded systems, where reliability is important.
Named after a mathematician who is often regarded as the world's first programmer, the first version of the Ada programming language was developed in the early 1980s, according to AdaCore. Known as Ada 83, this version introduced modularization and the package construct. Ada 95 introduced "child units." Newer versions of Ada include Ada 2005 and Ada 2012. Ada 83 was the result of efforts by the US Department of Defense to create a language to supersede the many programming languages that it used at the time.
Ada helps reduce development costs because components can be reused. The language avoids the use of symbols and prefers English keywords. Other benefits of the programming language include the fact that it supports new and evolving technologies, it encourages portable code that is easy to read and it interfaces to other languages including C, COBOL and Fortran.
Ada runs systems in avionics, aerospace, and defense systems, according to Ada2012. It is now surfacing in other areas including automotive, medical, and financial systems. The programming language is an international standard defined by ISO/IEC 8652:2012.

Q: TypeError: 'FirefoxWebElement' object is not iterable error cycling through pages on a dynamic webpage with Selenium This is the site I want to scrape.
I want to scrape all the information in the table on the first page:

then click on the second and do the same:

And so on until the 51st page. I know how to use selenium to click on page two:
link = "http://www.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng/Organizations"
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(link)
xpath = '/html/body/form/div[3]/div[4]/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/span/a[1]'
find_element_by_xpath(xpath).click()

But I don't know how to set the code up so that it cycles through each page. The process of me getting the xpath is a manual one in the first place (I go on to Firefox, inspect the item and copy it into the code), so I don't know how to automate that step in and of itself and then the following ones.
I tried going a level higher in the webpage html and choosing the entire section of the page with the elements I want, and cycling through them, but that doesn't work because it's a Firefox web object(see below). Here'a a snapshot of the relevant part of the page source:

By calling the xpath of the higher class like so:
path = '//*[@id="dnn_ctr454_View_OrganizationsListViewDataPager"]'
driver.find_element_by_xpath(path)

and trying to see if I can cycle though it:
for i in driver.find_element_by_xpath(path):
    i.click()

I get the following error:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: This error message...

...implies that you are trying to iterate through a WebElement where as only list objects are iterable.

Solution
Within the for() loop to create a list to iterate through it's elements, instead of using find_element* you need to use find_elements*. So your effective code block will be:
for i in driver.find_elements_by_xpath(path):
    i.click()

Warhol Museum Rolls Out Red Carpet For Stars Of the Silver Screen Exhibit
Andy Warhol with star Ann Miller/The Warhol Museum
Andy Warhol drew inspiration from his love of Hollywood, fame, and glamor, most notably in his iconic triptychs and films. Now The Warhol Museum puts its namesake's career-defining fascination on display with a new exhibit.
Opening June 16, Andy Warhol: Stars of the Silver Screen shows how Warhol's interest in celebrity went from attending the cinema with his older brothers in 1930s Pittsburgh to rubbing elbows with some of the biggest stars as the toast of the art world. The collection includes hundreds of archival objects Warhol collected throughout his life, including film posters, fan magazines, photos and other memorabilia, as well the artist's celebrity scrapbooks. It also includes artworks representing various media.

The second floor of the museum features celebrity drawings and Pop portraits, including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley, Jane Fonda, and many others. The sixth floor showcases photographs of Warhol Superstars and Factory regulars, posters, and film and video works such as Screen Tests, Andy Warhol's T.V., and segments from the Warhol films The Chelsea Girls, San Diego Surf, Lonesome Cowboys, and more. Also included are examples of Warhol's early collage works, such as his movie star composites.
Andy Warhol: Stars of the Silver Screen runs from June 16-September 24. The exhibit will be on view during museum hours and will be included with regular admission prices.

CMOA Honors Director Neil Jordan With Wild West North Film Screening Series
Breakfast on Pluto/Sony Pictures Classics
From April 14-15, the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) will honor Neil Jordan, the acclaimed Irish filmmaker best known for The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire, with the Wild West North Film Screening Series. Presented in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Film Studies department, the two-day retrospective includes three of the director's films and conversations with renowned Irish novelist and visiting Pitt faculty member Patrick McCabe, who collaborated with Jordan on adapting two of his books – The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto – for the screen.
See below for film schedule and details:
Michael Collins (1996)
Liam Neeson plays the title role in Jordan's award-winning biopic about Michael Collins, the statesman who negotiated Ireland's break with England and went on to become a political martyr. The film also stars Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, Alan Rickman and Julia Roberts.
The Butcher Boy (1998)
Jordan weaves an inventive tale of a boy who uses humor, hooliganism, and horror to cope with the world around him.
Breakfast on Pluto (2005)
Abandoned at birth by a "Phantom Lady" mother and fathered in secret by the local parish priest, Patrick "Kitten" Braden (Cillian Murphy) grows up to lead a picaresque life as a transvestite, magician's apprentice, sometime prostitute, suspected IRA terrorist, seeker of truth and illusion, loyal friend, and tirelessly witty observer of life.
All screenings take place in the CMOA Theater. Tickets cost $45 for all three screenings (members: $36, students: $24), $18 for individual films (members: $15, students: $10). Every ticket includes a book signed by McCabe.

Tull Family Theater Launches Cultural Screenings With 'Hermitage Revealed'
Hermitage Revealed
The Tull Family Theater recently opened in Sewickley to bring art films and events to people living outside of the city of Pittsburgh. The theater lives up to its mission on March 23 when it kicks off its Cultural Screenings series with the sprawling 2014 museum documentary Hermitage Revealed.
The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is one of the largest and oldest museums in the world holding over 3 million treasures and boasting more curators than any other art institution. Hermitage Revealed presents a cinematic journey through the museum's tumultuous 250-year history and offers unprecedented access to special collections and exclusive areas that remain hidden from the public eye.
The production brings together the oldest, the rarest, the most precious and the most closely guarded of Russia's greatest treasures; items bought with great wealth or acquired by other means, items hoarded and saved from violent revolutionaries, items thought lost and later re-found – all works and their unique stories presented with an intimacy and immediacy that no museum or gallery experience can match. From Rembrandt to Russian masterpieces, from prehistoric artifacts to the private gemstone collection of Catherine The Great, from Michelangelo to Matisse and much, much more, the exquisite treasures the Hermitage has to offer are seemingly endless.
Hermitage Revealed begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase online or at the door.

Screenshot of Within Formal Cities.
As urban populations continue to grow, the access to decent housing shrinks. On November 10th, the Carnegie Museum of Art will examine how people throughout South America are trying to solve the problem with a preview of the locally produced documentary Within Formal Cities.
The film by intern architects Brian Gaudio and Abe Drechsler showcases innovative housing and infrastructure projects in Lima, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Bogotá. During their travels, Gaudio and Drechsler interviewed more than 40 architects, designers, community members, and government agencies to learn about the housing crisis and the innovative ways designers are addressing it.
Within Formal Cities begins at 6:30 p.m. in the CMOA Theater. Gaudio will introduce the film and conduct a post-screening Q&A. The event is free. Those interested in attending can RSVP at the event Facebook page.

On August 4th, the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) and WESA will present the retrospective No Place but Home: An Evening with Filmmaker Tony Buba. The event is part of The Double Exposure Series, a part of CMOA's Time-Based Media Project, which features "artists, preservationists, curators and scholars discussing the legacy of avant-garde film and video of the 1960s–1980s, including works in CMOA's permanent collection and beyond."
Since 1974, Braddock-based filmmaker Tony Buba has made over 20 films through his company Braddock Films, including the The Braddock Chronicles, a dozen black & white short documentaries chronicling life in a "dying milltown." The event will include the premiere of No Place but Home, a documentary short by Ryan Loew and Matthew Newton that examines Buba's career. Also showing are a selection of Buba's films, including Betty's Corner Café (1976), Washing Walls with Mrs. G. (1980), Mill Hunk Herald (1981), Fade Out (1998) and Ode to a Steeltown (2007), as well as a never-before-seen short.

The Warhol Takes A Stand With 'Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry'
The Warhol will soon unveil Andy Warhol | Ai Weiwei, an exhibition exploring the significant influence of these two artists on modern and contemporary life, focusing on the parallels, intersections, and points of difference between their practices—Warhol representing 20th-century modernity and the "American century," and Ai representing life in the 21st century and what has been called the "Chinese century" to come. In conjunction with show, the museum will host daily screenings of the 2012 documentary Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry.
Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Alison Klayman, Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is the inside story of China's most famous international artist, and most outspoken domestic critic. Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. In response, Chinese authorities have shut down his blog, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret detention.
The film captures a dissident for the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai while working as a journalist in China, and her detailed portrait provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures.
The film will show daily at 2 p.m. from June 3rd through August 28th in the Warhol theater. Film schedules are subject to change. Free with museum admission

CMOA Welcomes Tilda Swinton For 'Seasons In Quincy'
On April 19th, actress Tilda Swinton will stop by the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) to introduce a sneak preview of The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger, a documentary about the prominent art critic, novelist, painter and poet. The event marks the beginning of a new collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh's film program and CMOA.
Presented in four vignettes, the film presents a portrait of Berger who, in 1973, abandoned the metropolis to live in the tiny Alpine village of Quincy. He realized that subsistence peasant farming, which had sustained humanity for millennia, was drawing to an historical close. He determined to spend the rest of his life bearing witness to this vanishing existence, not least by participating in it. Berger's trilogy Into their Labours chronicles the peasant life of this Alpine village and its surrounding countryside.
The film is the result of an eight-year project by Swinton and University of Pittsburgh Professor of English and Film, Colin MacCabe. Swinton served as executive producer and directed the Harvest segment. MacCabe produced the film with the Derek Jarman Lab in London, directed the first segment Ways of Listening, and co-directed A Song for Politics with Bartek Dziadosz.
The Seasons of Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger sneak preview will take place at 8:30 p.m. in the CMOA Theater. Swinton and MacCabe will both make an appearance at the screening. Ticket cost $35, $30 for members, $25 for students with valid ID, and are available for purchase on the CMOA website.

CMOA Pays Respects To 'The Living Need Light, The Dead Need Music'
Established in 2006, The Propeller Group, an artist collective based in Ho Chi Minh and Los Angeles, creates multimedia work that combines filmmaking, advertising, politics, and history. On October 22nd, the Carnegie Museum of Art (CMOA) will present a screening and talk to open its fall Forum Gallery exhibition, which features The Propeller Group's work The Living Need Light, The Dead Need Music.
The Living Need Light, The Dead Need Music is a visual and musical journey through the fantastical funerary traditions of South Vietnam. Part documentary and part visionary reenactment, the 21-minute video follows brass band musicians, spiritual mediums, professional criers, and street performers through the mournful and euphoric public ceremonies of a multi-day wake: a set of colorful rituals that resonate with funeral traditions in New Orleans and other parts of the "global south."
The Propeller Group reception and artist talk will begin at 6:30 p.m. The evening includes a post-screening discussion with Propeller Group founders Phunam Thuc Ha, Matt Lucero, and Tuan Andrew Nguyen, as well as special guest Dr. Matt Sakakeeny, Assistant Professor of Music at Tulane University. A cocktail reception in the Scaife foyer will follow. Admission is free, but guests are encouraged to RSVP at the CMOA website. The Propeller Group: The Living Need Light, The Dead Need Music exhibition will run from October 23rd through March 21st in the museum's Forum Gallery.

I've discussed, debated and argued over the topic for years now (about Cruz recently, but also about McCain, Obama and Romney, who all have dubious family/birth stories in the past) and I have honestly grown weary of it. The simple truth is that our Founders did NOT define "natural born citizen" within the Constitution. This fact must necessarily mean that we give latitude on the subject. So, for well over 150 years we have defined the idea of "natural born" as anyone who is born a citizen of these United States.
I have heard some well-reasoned and well-sourced arguments (they lean primarily on Emer Vattel's Law of Nations) from those who believe that Cruz is ineligible; the problem is that those arguments only sway those already in agreement with the premise.
Recently, while in Mason City, Iowa Senator Cruz was asked by an audience member to explain why he was eligible. She reasoned that Cruz, as a Constitutional scholar who has argued before the Supreme Court and has clerked for a Supreme Court justice, likely better understands this issue than most Americans. Here was Senator Cruz's explanation of why he is, most certainly, eligible to be our next President.
Sure, I'm happy to. The law is straightforward on this. Under the Constitution, in order to be president, you must be a natural born citizen. Now, U.S. law has been clear from the very first days of this country that the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad is a natural born citizen. Indeed, the very first Congress, when it passed the first laws on citizenship, defined the child of a U.S. citizen born abroad as a natural born citizen. They used exactly those words. Now mind you, many members of the first Congress were themselves Framers who had been at the constitutional convention who had used the exact same words in the Constitution.
This is an issue that has come up many times in American history. For example, many of us know John McCain was born in Panama. But he was a U.S. citizen because both of his parents were U.S. citizens. He was a citizen by birth. Likewise, George Romney, Mitt's dad, who ran for president in '68, was born in Mexico. His parents were Mormon missionaries, and yet he was a U.S. citizen by birth because his parents were citizens. And the third example, interestingly enough, is Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was born in Arizona before Arizona was a state, it was just a territory. And so he was a U.S. citizen by birth by virtue of the fact that his parents were citizens.
And so as a legal matter, the question is quite straightforward. My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She is a citizen by birth, so I became an American citizen by virtue of being born to her. I have never breathed a breath of air on this planet when I was not a U.S. citizen. I've never been naturalized. It was the process of being born that made me a U.S. citizen.
I cannot tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the Founders meant for Ted Cruz to be eligible for the White House. However, I do believe that they wrote the "natural born citizen" clause for a very specific purpose, and that purpose has mostly outlived its usefulness today. I also believe that, in the upcoming election, Senator Cruz represents the best presidential candidate our nation has since 1979 and before that since 1964. The point being that presidential candidates like Ted Cruz don't come around very often – seems more like once every couple of generations – and standing against his candidacy for a turn of phrase like "natural born citizen" is not in our nation's best interests.
Please, if you are a Ted Cruz "birther" and plan to stand against his candidacy, reconsider. Our nation needs conservative leadership, and Ted Cruz is our best hope.

The keto diet is has been growing in popularity for some time now, and its advocates praise the diet for encouraging weight loss, boosting energy, improving HbA1c levels for folks with type 2 diabetes, and more. Bee Healthy Clinics provides support for people undertaking the keto diet, and you can read more about burning fat the accountable way on our Keto Bee Program page.
The keto flu may be caused by several factors, but there is no known central cause. That's because each person's body responds differently to a significant reduction in carbohydrates. Since the body typically converts the glucose from carbohydrates into energy, reducing this energy source may cause adverse symptoms for some individuals until your body adapts to primarily burning fat for energy.
The level of unpleasant symptoms may be a result of the person's diet as well. For instance, someone who eats carbohydrates made of refined sugars regularly may find it more of a challenge to switch to a ketogenic diet and experience harsher keto flu symptoms than those who primarily eat carbohydrates made from complex sugars. When your body goes into ketosis – the fat-to-energy conversion process – you may experience symptoms that are similar to withdrawal from substances, such as caffeine.
Keep in mind that some keto flu symptoms are similar to more chronic or serious conditions, such as the actual flu or ketoacidosis. If you are experiencing serious symptoms, like prolonged diarrhea or excessive vomiting, seek medical attention right away.
Most people experience the keto flu for about a week. Remember, however, that not everyone experiences keto flu the same way. Some may find it more challenging to deal with the unpleasant symptoms of keto flu and could experience symptoms for several weeks.
The good news is that the keto flu symptoms subside over time once your body becomes acclimated its new primary source of energy. When the keto flu passes and your body adapts to ketosis, you can typically expect the symptoms to gradually subside. You may even feel more energetic.
While it's important to understand the basics of the keto flu if you're considering a keto diet, don't forget that achieving your health and weight loss goals doesn't have to be a solo journey.

Hi, I am a 15 year old dreamer from India who is on a quest to spread knowledge about our cosmos and try to answer questions that boggle the human mind. This blog is a collection of topics and studies that I have learned over time and am still learning, I put a lot of Hard Work into these posts and fact check them regularly. I hope you love the content I provide! Editor and Writer at Cosmological Kulvir
Posted on January 3, 2019 March 19, 2019 by Kulvir Chavda
Curiosity is welcome here!
Our universe is a beautiful place, it contains everything that we know about and everything that we aspire to know about. It gave us birth and one day, unfortunately will bestow upon us death. There are an infinite number of secrets hidden inside the cosmos and this blog is entirely dedicated to uncovering as many that are humanly possible.
The Bang
Our universe is theorized to have begun approximately 13.8 billion years ago. Thousands of scientists have tried to come up with a logical explanation for the 'beginning' of our universe yet there is only 1 widely accepted theory, "The Big Bang Theory".
Most people summarize the big bang to be an explosion which created the universe and then that's it. That summarization is in fact very true but to understand the origin of our universe a little substantially you need to delve deeper into scientific facts and explanations which are pretty simple to understand.
The Eras
The formation of our universe is divided into two Eras:
The Radiation Era
The Matter Era
Each of these eras are divided into specific periods of time or 'Epochs'. Each epoch has a very distinct and essential role in the formation of the universe.
We can Imagine each era to be one school day and all the epochs as the classes that comprise that particular school day. Each class is of a different subject and those separate subjects help you score better on your test.
Now, keeping all these points in mind lets move towards understanding the significance of each epoch.
Right after the big bang occurred the very small universe consisted of no mass and was mainly dominated by radiation and energy. This is the reason why it is called the Radiation Era.
It is mainly divided into eight epochs:
1) The Planck Epoch
2) The Grand Unified Epoch
3) The Inflationary Epoch
4) The Electroweak Epoch
5) The Quark Epoch
6) The Hadron Epoch
7) The Lepton Epoch
8) The Nuclear Epoch
It might seem a little scary to read all these weird names simultaneously but I can guarantee you will be able to understand each of them without any problems.
1- 'The Planck Epoch' :
During the Planck epoch the universe comprised of pure energy and the four fundamental forces of nature in a combined form called the 'Superforce':
1) Gravity
2) Strong Force
3) Weak Force
4) Electromagnetic Force
The temperature at this time was about 10^-36 Kelvin and it occurred at about 10^-43 seconds after the big bang. It is known that no laws of physics applied to the events that happened in this epoch and nobody has actually figured out what happened during this period. This epoch ended with the separation of Gravity from the Superforce.
2- 'Grand Unification Epoch' :
This epoch occurred at about 10^-43 seconds after the big bang and the temperature of the universe changed to 10^36 Kelvin.
Previously,Gravity had already separated from this unified force at the end of the Planck Epoch, and now at the end of the Grand Unification Epoch, the Strong Force separated too.
3- 'The Inflationary Epoch' :
This epoch lasted from 10^-36 seconds to 10^-32 after the big bang.
During this Epoch the universe underwent something called 'Cosmic Inflation'. The universe expanded at an extremely fast rate. It went from the size of the tip of a needle to the size larger than the radius of the earth Earth.
At this time the universe was still extremely hot and contained various particles like Quarks, Anti-Quarks, and Electrons.
4- 'The Electroweak Epoch' :
At this point of time, two major forces were still unified-The Weak Force and the Electromagnetic Force.
During this period of 10^-32 seconds to 10^-12 seconds after the big bang, these last two forces separated and we had all our four fundamental forces separated and independent.
5- 'The Quark Epoch' :
This epoch began at 10^-12 seconds after the big bang, with the temperature of the universe now reduced down to about 10^16 Kelvin, but it was still extremely hot.
Even though the universe now practically had all its major components in it, the exceptionally high temperatures wouldn't allow those components to come together and form any kinds of subatomic particles.
6- 'The Hadron Epoch' :
After 10^-6 seconds of the big bang, the universe finally cooled down to 10^10 Kelvin.
This means that universe cooled down enough so that the quarks started to slowly combine and form particles like protons and neutrons which later help in the formation of the first chemical element in the universe-Helium.
7- 'The Lepton Epoch' & 8- 'The Nuclear Epoch' :
These stages were the ending stages of the Radiation Era, the Lepton epoch started at about 1 second after the big bang and the Nuclear epoch started at about 100 seconds after the big bang.
These two epochs saw a lot change in the universe. The protons and neutrons came together and fused to form nuclei.
Therefore, due to these actions, the cosmos saw its first chemical element called Helium.
After the Radiation Era ended (elements) matter started to form in the universe. It got filled with galaxies, stars, etc. Hence the name – The Matter Era.
It is divided into three fairly long epochs-
The Atomic Epoch
The Galactic Epoch
The Stellar Epoch
'The Atomic Epoch' :
During this epoch, the temperature of the universe cooled down to just 3000 Kelvin. This epoch started after about 50,000 years of the big bang.
This cooling down of temperature (possibly due to cosmic inflation) was enough for electrons to bind with nuclei for the first time – forming hydrogen in the process.
This process of the electrons binding with the nuclei for the first time is called 'Recombination'.
2. 'The Galactic Epoch' :
The galactic epoch occurred about 200 million years after the big bang. We now know that helium and hydrogen had been formed already, now during this period of time, these two elements formed Atomic clouds which spread all across the cosmos. Something matter-like finally started to come into existence.
Inside these clouds, small fractions of gas had enough gravity to cause atoms to start collecting.
This process slowly formed various clusters of atoms which would later turn into massive galaxies.
3. 'The Stellar Epoch' :
The stellar epoch started about 3 billion years after the big bang. In this epoch, the baby sized galaxies started to develop and form stars and solar systems of its own.
Slowly and steadily planets started to calm down from their hot, volcanic and violent state to comparatively cooler conditions.
This helped life develop and form civilizations of their own. Even though there might be thousands of planets like Earth we haven't met any other extraterrestrial forms of life, but that discussion is for another post.
Till then see you later.

Dear Kulvir, I am not a regular follower of blogs, though I do follow a few on subjects of philosophy and as diverse as foods. Your's is an eye opener and made me walk through the "cosmic" world – don't know why we call it cosmic. Anyway, hope by following you many mysteries of the universe should get solved.
It was also a bit of nostalgic time for me going through your rendition, in that- most of the summer nights of my childhood have been on terrace of our ancestral home and we used to doze off grazing at the stars!
Keep up the great work and look forward to remain connected.
Prashant Rawat says:
Excellent concise descriptions, Kulvir – this will surely become an interesting regular read and quick reference for many. Your passion for physics clearly comes across!
If you haven't already read them, some books you may enjoy are 'A brief history of time' (Stephen Hawking's book in much the same style as this blog, with the same purpose of making complex concepts accessible to many), 'The second creation' (which explains both the history and the basics of the efforts for a unified theory, that explains and reconciles astrophysics with quantum physics) and 'Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!', an autobiographical work by Richard Feynman (physics Nobel Prize winner) that combines humor with the history of particle physics and some physics theories.
Keep up the excellent work! Hope this kindles the love of physics in many others.

Covid-19 kills another woman in TMH second consecutive day, city death toll now 5
16 new positive cases in East Singhbhum, total cases 691, cured and discharged 9
Jamshedpur: Covid-19 killed another woman in the city on second consecutive day here Wednesday taking the total death toll for the city to 5.
According to official sources, another Corona positive woman died of complications in TMH on Wednesday. This was the second consecutive day when a woman died in the city of Corona.
On Tuesday too, a woman from Kadma had succumbed to Corona complications. In fact, on Tuesday, a woman from Jamadoba also died in TMH.
However, her death is not counted as one related to this district. The total death toll for East Singhbhum has now reached 5.
The woman who died today was a resident of Baridih and was 50-year-old. She was also suffering from cancer and had come from Bihar for treatment. Later, she was found to be corona positive.
Corona is started taking a heavy toll in the city. However, most of the deaths related to persons who had co-morbidities.
Meanwhile, 16 new Covid-19 positive cases were identified today in East Singhbhum. The total infected persons in the city have now reached 691. Among the new cases, one has had a travel history to Daman and Diu, one to Hyderabad, two to Chennai, one to Aurangabad and one to Bihar.
Out of these, one patient is from Ghatshila, two from Bagbera, one from Dhalbhumgarh, two from Baharagora, one from Telco, four from Sonari, one from Kadma, one from Bhalubasa, one from Jugsalai, one from Golmuri and one from Mango.
All the new positive patients are now being admitted in the Covid ward of local hospitals.
Meanwhile, the administration has started taking tough measures to thwart the spread of Corona in the district.
The administration has now also made it clear that anyone who goes out in public without wearing a mask would be rounded up and sent to jail. Businesses that flout the social distancing norms would also be made to face law.

A.R.I. has developed a program, which will assist engineers in selecting the most important locations to place their air valves on the pipeline. In addition, it will also specify which model in the A.R.I.series will best suit the applications as well as the most appropriate sizing.
The program, known as ARIavCAD is user friendly and simple to understand and is designed so that the end user can clearly and rapidly define his needs as far as air valves on the pipeline is concerned. This ARIavCAD software contains many refinements and improvements, and provides an analysis for air valve sizing and location for most applications. Additionally, the software can be used in conjunction with applications, such as AutoCAD and Microsoft Excel.
With the new version of ARIavCAD, a simple import operation followed by a click on the mouse, and the entire pipeline profile, with much of the required data, is ready for entry of remaining data and analysis that will determine air valve recommendations by location, model, size and quantity.
The savings in time, cost and effort that this technology offers is considerable and A.R.I. is proud to offer the service of running analyses to our customers.


This study used data from the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) 2009 4-year-old cohort to examine associations among family characteristics, home and classroom environments, and the emergent literacy skills of Head Start children. Results from hierarchical linear models suggest that both family and classroom contexts play a unique and interactive role in supporting Head Start children's development of different sets of emergent literacy skills. Parental warmth was positively related to children's oral language skills (i.e., receptive and expressive vocabulary knowledge), and teachers' educational level and the quality of instructional support in the classroom were significantly associated with children's code-related skills (i.e., letter-name and letter-sound knowledge). Further, high-quality instructional support in the classroom buffered the negative influence of low maternal education on children's oral language skills. Interventions focusing on enhancing the quality of parent-child interactions, in addition to professional development for teachers designed to improve the quality of instructional support, may contribute to promoting the development of emergent literacy skills of young children from low-income families.

The dangers of "spin": information, science, security, and welfare

Restrictions on full and accurate information
The Bush administration may go down in American history as one of the most creative, or devious, (depending on your point of view) in its use or misuse of information. Other nations can take a lesson from its lethal language. The US public has been focusing on a basic ingredient of democracy: truth in government, the practice of transparency and full disclosure. In public hearings before a special national investigating commission on intelligence and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, the government's practice is found wanting as the public witnessed and listened to the word games of administration officials. The entire history of open information use in the Bush regime is discouraging. The list is long. A few examples:
Going beyond the Patriot Act, (which was passed hurriedly by Congress without debate after September 11 and greatly increased national security agencies' ability to encroach on civil liberties), the attorney general recently got what he has long sought, buried in new legislation: an extension of the FBI's authority to get individuals' financial records from private organisations ranging from credit card companies and car dealers to jewellers and the Post Office, without normal judicial review or showing "probable cause" of a crime. It also imposes a "gag" order under threat of criminal penalty for anyone who discloses that the FBI has obtained such records. In addition, the FBI is no longer required to report to Congress on how often they use this power.
The Department of Defense now restricts unclassified (non-secret) information on its web site, deleting what it deems is "of questionable value to public" and anything not "specifically approved for public release".
The US Iraq press office in Baghdad is basically a Republican party operation, run by political appointees who have worked on Bush election campaigns, for the Bush family, or in the administration. Its stated task is to communicate to Congress and Americans the positive side of the invasion, occupation, and reconstruction. It targeted "good news" to US media in selected states prior to the recent Democratic presidential nomination primary elections. By comparison, the British press office is staffed by long time civil servants, not political appointees, who have specialist regional knowledge and language skills; the US has five staff who know enough Arabic to be interviewed on Al Jazeera TV.
For two years Vice President Cheney has fought providing information to Congress and the public on the input of the energy industries in the formulation of the administration's fossil fuel favoured energy policy. The final decision is awaiting resolution by the Supreme Court, whose Justice Antonin Scalia recently went on a hunting trip with the vice president.
The administration understated the cost of the new Medicare prescription drug law for the elderly population and disabled people by $140 billion until after it was passed by Congress, even though a government actuary had provided it with the true cost, which it refused to accept before the legislation was written; the actuary resigned in protest.
Congress' General Accounting Office, which investigates policy implementation, cited 21 areas of Executive authority that abused science information, including "political interference" and suppressing scientific reports; allowing misleading science statements by the president; providing inaccurate information to Congress; altering web sites and gagging scientists. The topics most affected were those on the administration's political agenda, such as abstinence-only sex education; purported negative effects of abortions; drinking water and food safety, global warming, and workplace safety.
The administration's approach to information is to focus on threat risks but not on the benefits of information to Americans' security. This is erroneous, according to a new report by the highly regarded RAND Corporation think tank. It says web censorship is pointless because potential terrorists can get more detailed material from other open sources. Meanwhile, the benefits are lost by restricting government information, including better law enforcement, the spread of scientific knowledge, response to environmental risks and collaboration among citizens to prevent them.
All of these restrictions on full and accurate information damage civil liberties, respect for government, and ultimately the safety and security, the welfare and health of all who reside in the US, and indeed those in other countries—whether from false rationales for violence or denial of the science behind environmental damage, or of the most efficacious ways to deal with such health issues as HIV/AIDS and birth control.
A prime safeguard against government half truths and misleading information since the early US Republic is an alert, inquiring, and assertive media. But since 1989, the three TV networks' reporting of foreign news decreased from over 20 hours to less than five hours per week by 2003, as was true of most local newspapers, even though 6 in 10 readers say they are "highly interested" in foreign news. As a result, Americans are using new sources, with large increases in the audiences of the London Economist, the New York Times, Reuters wire service, and the BBC.
More worrisome is a current report of surveys running from 9 June 2002, before the Iraq invasion to September 2003, which shows that more than 6 in 10 Americans had misperceptions of facts about the war, believing, for example, that weapons of mass destruction were found; that Saddam had ties with Al Quaeda; and that world opinion favoured the US invasion. These erroneous beliefs were related to people's primary source of news. The most accurately informed used NPR (National Public Radio) and read the newspapers; the least well informed used Fox TV, owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Sky TV.
Without an informed citizenry, the kinds of governments and societies we want, the kinds the world respects, can shrivel, reaping disaster on the lives and living conditions ultimately of us all. Those especially in the helping professions who understand the need for truth and openness in government and the relentless search for truth by the media must speak openly for this imperative to states and in the media.

Which Dancing Style Reflects Your Personality?
267SharesShare on FacebookShare on TwitterAdd to Favorites.Remove from Favorites.Send an E-mail.
Dancing is great in every aspect. You can't take your eyes away from someone who dances really well. Whether it's traditional or modern, it has a magical side. In this test, we'll try to guess which dancing style best suits your personality. Alright, let's begin.
3. What do you do when nobody's home?
4. How flexible are you?
5. With which one of these do your feet feel the most comfortable?
7. If you were to drink something right now, which one would you choose?
10. Last question: If you could be born again, which nationality would you choose?
People may find you very disciplined mostly and sometimes may not be able to make sense of your sudden joy and energy. That's what ballet is! You don't allow people to predict what you're capable of doing under your delicate and elegant look. But it's so obvious. Ballet is the best dance that'll go with your noble soul because you're an artist!
If there wasn't suffering, how would be able to feel love, right? You know what impossible love and the distances that separate lovers from each other are. You always make other people aware of your presence. Even if you're suffering a lot because of your love, you never back down. You always look forward and figure out everything in your head. Bachata is that kind of dance; a great representation of pangs of love. It's just for you!
People may have told you that you're ''straight to the point'' or even ''tough,'' but that's nonsense. You just have your own rules and if you can't interfere with the things that are happening around you, you have a good reason to get angry, right? That's why you always look down on people who don't understand you. You have desires. You have principles and you want respect. Tango is the dance for you; the steps are certain, the music is sharp, it's full of desires and straight to the point. It's like a dance where nothing can go wrong.
This dance isn't just your dance, it's also your attitude. It fits your reckless behaviors perfectly. You don't like talking about yourself a lot but you're just the tip of the iceberg. If your cool attitudes are why people think you're reckless, then let it be! You know who is a friend and who is an enemy. You don't bow to anyone for positive or negative criticism. What's important is what you have inside. The dance where you can let your soul go free is the break dance!
You're a comfortable person. You don't let small things bug you. And that's great. Your general attitude towards life is relax and you know you'll somehow take care of it. You know everything gets taken care of somehow. Rules are not for you because they're not good enough. You know you can always do better and feel the power to do it inside. Modern Dance is your dance because you have a character that can't be tamed and you have a strong and free soul!
