Observational studies conducted by educational and scientific organizations have provided evidence that children who play in outdoor "green spaces," such as school playgrounds with trees and other vegetation, neighborhood parks, and home backyards with grass, experience physical and psychological health benefits.
A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) highlights cognitive health, with evidence that exposure to green spaces within and around schools may enhance the brain development of children.
Cognitive abilities are defined as working memory and attentiveness. Working memory is defined as the ability to sort and retain short-term information, which is essential for learning skills, such as math and reading. "Greenness" is defined as any space with vegetation.
A study titled, "Green Spaces and Cognitive Development in Primary School Children," published in the June 30, 2015 issue of PNAS , reports a link between exposure to green space at school and development of cognitive abilities.
Led by Payam Dadvand and other researchers at the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona, Spain, the study assessed the association between exposures to green space, captured using satellite data, and measures of cognitive development in nearly 2,600 schoolchildren.
Children were in the second to fourth grades, aged seven through ten years, from 36 primary schools, between January 2012 and March 2013.
Cognitive development was assessed using four repeated (every three months) computerized cognitive tests for each outcome of 12-month developmental change of working memory, superior working memory, and inattentiveness, according to the study abstract.
Researchers found that students with more exposure to green space experienced a five percent increase in working memory, a six percent increase in superior working memory, and a one percent reduction in inattentiveness, regardless of ethnicity, maternal education, and parental employment, according to a CREAL news report.
Still, proving a direct connection between green spaces and brain development is difficult. For example, researchers reported that school children with the highest improvement in cognitive skills had the lease exposure to traffic-related pollution (elemental carbon), which, itself, has been negatively linked to cognitive development.
The Dadvand study cites an earlier article, titled, "At Home with Nature: Effects of "Greenness" on Children's Cognitive Functioning," by Nancy M. Wells, published in November 2000 in the journal Environment and Behavior.
The study that is described by Wells observed children who were living in a poor urban home environment and who then moved to an improved home environment with more greenness. Results indicated that children whose homes improved the most in terms of greenness following relocation tended to have the highest levels of cognitive functioning following the move, according to the Wells abstract.
Although it is not clear how connections between green spaces and cognitive abilities occur, evidence is increasing that contact with nature plays a central role in brain development, as well as in physical and psychological health.
In terms of public policy, encouraging our public officials to add trees and other vegetation to neighborhoods and school yards may be one solution to the challenge of how to improve the health of our children.

The occurrence of discharges that can ignite the explosive mixtures of gas, vapour, mist and dust.
Dangerous or unpredictable behaviour caused by shock when this discharge takes place via the human body.
Process disruptions caused by the medium sticking to the hose wall.
Malfunction of measuring devices and controllers.
Whereas countermeasures for the points 2 - 4 are left largely to the discretion of the user, there are a number of regulations and guidelines for assessment and avoidance of fire hazards and the protective measures to be taken.
Grounding of the hose over its entire length.
The embedded wire has maximum contact area with the plastic (in contrast to externally-applied copper strands).
Spiral construction covers the greatest possible portion of the surface (in contrast to axial surface-mounted wires).
Antistatic or electrically conductive plastics can be used in manufacture if required.
Since June 30 2003, only devices, components and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres that comply with the 2014/34/EU Directive can be placed on the market.
Device categories: The Directive ATEX 2014/34/EU determines three device categories in the Equipment Group II, which are intended for use in hazardous areas with different probabilities of occurrence of an explosive atmosphere.
Category 1: An explosive atmosphere is always present.
Category 2: The emergence of an explosive atmosphere is probable.
Category 3: The emergence of an explosive atmosphere is improbable, but can be present for a short time.
The different categories are required to take appropriate precautions for the prevention of explosions.
Areas: Because of a uniform definition in the directive, regarding the explosion hazard areas for gases, fumes and mists, as well as dusts, it also means in principle a "three zone classification" for dusts. For the implementation of the Directive 2014/34/EU (the norm) DIN EN 1127-1 "Explosive atmospheres, explosion protection, Part 1, Basic concepts and methodology" was elaborated. This standard already considered the new "zone concept" and defined the zones 20, 21 and 22 for explosive dust zones.
What is an explosive atmosphere according to ATEX?
An area in which the atmosphere can become explosive due to local and/or operational conditions is described as an explosive area.
It is important to note, that products are not covered by the Directive 2014/34/EU, if they are intended for use in or in conjunction with areas that can be explosive under certain circumstances, but in which one or more of the requirements mentioned from 1. to 4. are not met.
When is Directive 2014/34/EU applicable?
Since June 30th, 2003, only devices, components and protective systems with an appropriate CE marking may be put into service in explosion hazard areas.
As the operating conditions of the user are outside our direct control and the constructive variety is too large, we can not guarantee the accuracy of the data.
Explosion protection measures are regulated by the TRGS 727 "Avoiding ignition hazards due to electrostatic charges".
The Technical rule TRGS 727 is based on the TRBS 2153 and BGR 132 of the Technical Committee Chemistry of the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV).
The currently frequently used insulating plastic and rubber hoses with conductive metal inlays may no longer be used.
Another important innovation is the hose selection for pneumatic transport of flammable bulk materials, as this strongly charge-generating process with the TRGS 727 has been re-evaluated.
For characterizing the wall material as conductive (EC) or antistatic (AS) the volume resistivity RGES may only be used and not the surface resistance, as before.
As part of electrostatic studies and reviews in collaboration with a specialized department for explosion protection, hoses of different types were categorized regarding the use in hazardous areas.

Tuttosport: Milan must put aside any misunderstandings to achieve the common target
Despite rumours that there are some disagreements happening at AC Milan, the management and squad are all reportedly united in their pursuit of a top four spot.
As Tuttosport writes (via MilanNews), the defeat against Sassuolo complicates things a bit, but despite everything Milan are in full swing to reach qualification for the 2021-22 edition of the Champions League as they have an advantage over the other teams at present.
The Super League debacle risks having left some aftermath especially after the words of Paolo Maldini who said that he did not know anything about this project. The Rossoneri are now in the decisive moment of the season and therefore a new phase of internal tension would really be a problem at this point of the season.
Maldini's words did not go unnoticed and cast doubt on his relationship with CEO Ivan Gazidis, just as it had happened a year ago when there was talk of Ralf Rangnick's possible arrival, but this is not the time for misunderstandings and discussions and if there are problems it is better to talk about them later, the paper writes.
For now, all at Milan must remain united because the common goal of reaching the top four must be achieved and is the only thing that matters at present.

Learning vocabulary can be a challenge sometimes. But then there are those little moments when you hear the word, or maybe you just read it, and you get it. The smile creeps over your face, maybe you throw your arms up in the air like Rocky running up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum. It's a beautiful thing. Learning vocabulary, not Rocky.
But what happens when you see this: bl.a. or d.v.s. or m.m. or maybe even t.o.m.? Abbreviations. The bane of any language learner. I can hardly keep English abbreviations straight. Now there are Swedish ones floating around my head too. Awesome. Don't worry. While there are a plenty of abbreviations to go around, there are a few that are just a bit more important than others. Below you'll find a few of those common abbreviations, what they mean written out in Swedish, and an English translation. Good luck!
that is (to say), i.e.
Här kommer en förkortning till: m.a.o = med andra ord.
There's also kl. for klockan!
And st. means pcs. or pieces. So you've got two electrical outlets.
@Angelou Chrisa That one's hard to figure out with more context. Sorry!
2) and 3) are clear but I can't figure out what LAS could be abbreviated for. Any ideas? Thanks.
@Geoff That's a tricky one. It could be Lagen om anställningsskydd (LAS).
I would like to clarify t.o.m. In the list appears as meaning "included", but I think that's a too short translation. "t.o.m." refers always to a period of time and it means "until and including" ("from now until…"). Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
I would like to know if there's any abbreviation to express the opposite, I mean "from one date on".
@Manuel That's a good explanation.

'In a world of FUDGE' EU to SOFTEN on Irish border 'just to get Brexit deal done' | Politics | News – UK
A number of member states such as Germany and the Republic of Ireland have given the go ahead to broaden EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier's powers to meet their self-imposed October deadline.
EU leaders are also said to be prepared to take over Mr Barnier's gruelling talks should it come to it "just to get this done", according to City A.M.
Northern Ireland's border has been a headache for much of the Brexit negotiations, with today's meeting between Brexit secretary Dominic Raab and Mr Barnier not expected to result in a breakthrough.
But sources have revealed a transition period that will see the UK remain in the EU's customs union and single market will provide time to "fudge" an agreement.
One government source said: "They were going to sh*t all over the Chequers plan, but when they looked at it and saw how badly it was attacked by both sides in the UK they thought they needed to give Theresa May some room.
"There is a route where the deal that isn't actually a deal pleases everybody.
"We're in the world of fudge, and there's plenty to go around, at the moment they just need to kick it on to give themselves some breathing space."
Another source said German and Irish policy makers are pushing for greater flexibility "just to get this done".
The source added: "They want to end uncertainty because it's not doing them any good."
He also said there had been a "significant uptick in intensity to get something done for October to give breathing space and calm sentiment".
A third source said: "There is a greater sense of flexibility – the member states want to support May and they don't want her booted out of the office, so they recognise some greyness is needed to get us through to transition.
The source added: "The hard discussions could take place then."
The next European Council will take place in the middle of October, after the Conservative party conference, in which Brexiteers such as Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg and David Davis will attend and revolt.
A Westminster source said: "Boris is planning big interventions starting in September.
"He wants to create waves."
He added: "It could be a very tricky party conference."

Fairness Versus Welfare: Notes on the Pareto Principle, Preferences, and Distributive Justice
Louis Kaplow, Steven Shavell
NBER Working Paper No. 9622
Issued in April 2003
NBER Program(s):Law and Economics Program, Public Economics Program
In Fairness versus Welfare, we advance the thesis that social policies should be assessed based entirely on their effects on individuals' well-being. This thesis implies that no independent weight should be accorded to notions of fairness (other than many purely distributive notions). We support our thesis in three ways: by demonstrating how notions of fairness perversely reduce welfare, indeed, sometimes everyone's well-being; by revealing numerous other deficiencies in the notions, including their lack of sound rationales; and by providing an account of notions of fairness that explains their intuitive appeal in a manner that reinforces the conclusion that they should not be treated as independent principles in policy assessment. In this essay, we discuss these three themes and comment on issues raised by Richard Craswell, Lewis Kornhauser, and Jeremy Waldron.

Presidential elections were held in South Korea on 19 December 1997. The result was a victory for opposition candidate Kim Dae-jung, ending almost 36 years of conservative rule. When he took office in 1998, it also marked the first time in Korean history that an incumbent government peacefully surrendered power to the opposition.
The NCNP National Convention was held on 19 May at Olympic Gymnastics Arena. Kim Dae-jung, a former 6-term lawmaker from South Jeolla, was nominated for president, defeating Chyung Dai-chul, a former 4-term lawmaker from Seoul.
The ruling New Korea Party's presidential nominating convention took place on 21 July at Olympic Gymnastics Arena, during which former Prime Minister Lee Hoi-chang defeated former Gyeonggi governor Lee In-je after two rounds of voting and became the party's nominee.
The ULD National Convention held on 24 June at Olympic Gymnastics Arena overwhelmingly nominated 8-term lawmaker Kim Jong-pil from South Chungcheong for president.
On 11 September, the Democratic Party, once the premier opposition to the New Koreans but a fringe party ever since the defection of Kim Dae-jung's faction in 1995, nominated Seoul mayor Cho Soon for president.
On 4 November, former NKP politicians unhappy with Lee Hoi-chang founded the New National Party and nominated Lee In-je for president. This was after the scandal regarding Lee Hoi-chang's sons being excused from the military service hit the news cycle and brought Lee's popularity down.
Kim Dae-jung, or "D.J." and Kim Jong-pil, or "J.P." agreed on 4 November to form an alliance against their common enemy, Lee Hoe-chang. In this agreement, JP announced to withdraw his bid for president to endorse DJ, and in turn DJ would appoint JP as the prime minister once elected president. The two Kims also agreed to revise the Constitution after the election from presidential system to parliamentary system, and the NCNP and ULD would cooperate on different issues as a coalition government.
On the other hand, needing a breakthrough as Kim Dae-jung's popularity soared, Lee Hoe-chang and Cho Soon also agreed to combine forces. On 21 November, the New Korea Party and Democratic Party merged into one party, and was founded as the Grand National Party. Cho Soon was made the chairman of the party, and Lee Hoe-chang the candidate for president.

Ancestor: Errol Leslie Flynn
Errol Leslie Flynn 1909
LeitrimMeath
Place of migration:
Migrated to/Born in Australia
Errol Leslie Flynn was born on the 20th of June 1909 in Tasmania. His grandparents on his father's side were from counties Leitrim and Meath.
As a young man, Errol relocated to London where he was schooled for two years from 1923. His time in London was short lived as he returned to Australia in 1926 to resume his education. His years of learning would come to an abrupt end when he was expelled from a grammar school in Sydney. After this he took on a number of odd jobs and spent some time in New Guinea. At this time Errol was completely unaware of how dramatically his life was about to change.
In 1933 he was cast as the lead in the movie In the Wake of the Bounty. Though the film was not a great success, Errol had clearly been bitten by the acting bug. He left Australia for Britain once more, this time to pursue a career as an actor. There he had some success, being cast in a number of theatre productions and even getting some film work, but his career would not take off fully until he relocated to Hollywood.
Upon arriving in Hollywood, Errol was quickly picked up by Warner Bros who cast him in a number of swashbuckling roles, the type of characters which he would be best known for playing. Most famously he played Robin Hood in the 1938 movie. It was this performance that shot Errol into super stardom.
In 1959, Errol's ghostwritten autobiography entitled My Wicked, Wicked Ways was published. In the book Errol claimed that he had been involved in piracy before playing pirates on the silver screen. He also made a number of claims regarding his personal life, and although many of the details may be exaggerated, it cannot be denied that he certainly led a colourful life as a renowned womaniser. He was also a heavy drinker and a deeply unhealthy man, as evidenced by his failure to pass the medical exam for entrance into the U.S. Army.
Errol Flynn died on the 14th of October 1959 leaving behind him a legacy of Hollywood hits and personal scandals.

If you're trying to lose stubborn belly fat, you've probably heard that you should cut carbs to banish the bloat and trim your waistline. And while limiting certain types of carbs, such as sugar, can help you lose weight, there is a carbohydrate that will actually help you achieve your weight-loss goals.
Dietitian Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, MS, RD, recommends people eat more soluble fiber to burn more belly fat. Fiber, which is a carbohydrate, has two forms: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve in water so it passes quickly through your body, mostly intact. Soluble fiber, on the other hand, does dissolve in water and creates a gel-like substance that mixes with other partially digested food in your small intestine.

Business ownership is a continual learning experience. Technology moves ahead, trends change and processes evolve. But if you've never run a profitable company, how do you know what it takes to become successful? To increase what you earn, you first have to learn.
The Maids, the residential cleaning company that stands out from competitors because of its exclusive 22-Step Healthy Touch® Deep Cleaning System, remains a model for the franchising industry, in part, because of extensive training for franchisees. Experts with The Maids say success begins with making a commitment to find out everything you can about the fundamentals of sales, marketing and operations.
1) Do you really know your business? Take the time to become familiar with every aspect of your company. Spend time with employees in the various areas of your organization to understand their duties and solicit feedback about how to improve procedures and cut costs.
2) Find a mentor. Seeing your business through someone else's experiences can be eye-opening. New ideas can be just what you need to jump-start earning power.
3) Go back to school. Unless you are someone who keeps abreast of industry research or trends, you might find that the business is slowly losing ground. Online or classroom education can infuse you with new ideas, best practices and general knowledge that will help you reach your goals.
4) Conferences. Along with networking opportunities, these annual get-togethers often provide nuggets of knowledge and inspiration. Make connections with, ask questions of and seek advice from executives who have excelled in their own businesses.
5) Hire an expert. A consultant will objectively analyze your business operations and introduce specific strategies that might help you turn the corner on profits. It's important to have an open mind and be willing to initiate new procedures.
6) Keep an eye on competitors. While you don't want to follow their every lead, you can gain valuable insight about your market and customers by examining competitor successes and failures.
7) Hire the right people. It's rare to have strengths in every area of business, so hire managers who can fill in the gaps. Collaboration among managers can get you where you want to go in less time.

Looking for a job can be stressful and exhausting. Job seekers can be quickly overwhelmed when they're trying to find a job, which can make turning to industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee an attractive option. However, all recruiters aren't created equally, which means that job seekers need to know what to look for to make sure they're working with the right one. Before you work with a recruiter, use these tips to ensure that your job search will be a success.
One of the easiest ways to know whether industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee are legitimate is to ask about their pricing. Quality recruiters will never ask an applicant for a finder's fee, but this doesn't mean that they're working for free. The company looking to fill a position should pay the recruiter's fee.
Until you get to know industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee, you're only a name on a resume. This is why it's vital that your resume is up-to-date and carefully crafted. Take care to proofread it closely so that your resume provides the very best impression of your work history and your skills.
A recruiter shouldn't promise an applicant a job. A recruiter's goal is to find a qualified applicant for their client — a company. If you come across industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee that guarantee that they'll find you a job, keep looking. These recruiters may be more interested in filling a quota and the job might not be one that you're interested in.
Additionally, watch out for industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee who guarantee a specific salary. Although your initial dealings will be with the recruiter, it's the company that has final hiring approval, including salary ranges.
Industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee have one initial goal — to connect qualified applicants with potential employers. However, when you're looking for a job, you need to be proactive — even with industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee. These recruiters can have hundreds of applicants and it may be difficult for them to remember each and every person that they talk to. To help keep your resume at the top of their list, make sure that you're following up with them on a regular basis. You may not be right for one position, but you never know what will open up down the line.
If you're looking for a job, turn to The Lawler Group, industrial sales recruiters in Milwaukee. We hire the best managers and executives within the industry and our client list proves that we're great at what we do. If you're interested in our job openings or learning more about how we can help your company find an ideal candidate, please visit our website at https://www.lawlergroup.com/contact-us/.

"Or, he could hire people with no experience in politics because he's known them a long time, because you know, then at least he's going to get loyalty," she continued.
Coulter further noted, "You name all the people who would have been so great in this White House and we would have a wall by now. But no, it has to be people from 'The Apprentice' and his kids."
Her comments come as the feud between Trump and former Apprentice contestant and one-time White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman intensifies.
In her just-released book "Unhinged," Omarosa describes Trump as inept and racist, according to The Hill.
Trump has aired his grievances via Twitter, writing on Monday, "Wacky Omarosa, who got fired 3 times on the Apprentice, now got fired for the last time…She begged me for a job, tears in her eyes, I said Ok…When Gen. Kelly came on board he told me she was a loser & nothing but problems. I told him to try working it out, if possible, because she only said GREAT things about me – until she got fired!"
He followed that up with the Tuesday morning tweet, "When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn't work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!"

January 28 – The man behind a string of incriminating leaks that shook the footballing world over the past few weeks "is absolutely aware" of the earthquake he has triggered according to his lawyer.
Hungarian authorities are about to decide if Portuguese national Rui Pinto should be extradited as a hacker or protected as a whistleblower in relation to documents provided to the Football Leaks website, many of whose claims have been published by Der Spiegel in Germany and other media organisations.
Pinto's lawyer William Bourdon told Der Spiegel that being arrested was "earth-shattering" for him and his family.
"He was presented by the Portuguese media simply as a hacker, whereas he is a significant whistleblower," said Bourdon who says he advising his client unpaid.
Asked how Pinto acquired the documents, which seriously call into question the conduct of a number of leading clubs and superstar players, Bourdon wouldn't say.
"I cannot explain how he got these documents. The only thing that I can say is that this story has its origins in a love for football. And football has been damaged by the things he has discovered," he told Der Spiegel.

End Of A Franchise
by Brett Stevens on January 18, 2017
It became clear that America had entered the final stage of collapse during Hurricane Katrina. From my car at a stoplight, the crime being perpetrated by refugees from New Orleans was visible and constant. But on the car radio, NPR was announcing that the previously reported crime rate increase was in fact an illusion.
Official sources at first confirmed a 25% rise in the murder rate of the city, but then those figures mysteriously vanished. The press reported something else instead, and it went down in history, in the media and in Google/Wikipedia that nothing bad happened. And yet, over the course of several weeks, the bad had both been seen and reported. It was covered up.
When that sort of editing of known fact can occur, ideology has taken over your society. This is what kills every advanced civilization: the theory of the tool replaces knowledge of the task, and gets translated into a social control mechanism based on redefining what is "right" to mean what is convenient for the majority of people, who are selfish herd monkeys who do not mean ill but always make things go ill through their self-fixation.
Ideology is a reality replacement. Instead of thinking about how things work, which is a mathematical determination more than a physical one, people think about how things "should" be according to human social intent, which means excluding risk. That translates into a brew of pacifism, universal inclusion, ignoring differences and forcing everyone to behave the same way so that none feel lesser.
When ideology takes over, the path to wealth and power is determined by ideology. There is a type of "ideological market" which regulates which viewpoints are in vogue, and this influences the cultural market which is upstream from political opinion and consumer interest. By this mechanism, those who say the right things — according to the ideological narrative — achieve wealth and power.
This creates a franchise where the most efficient path to success is determined by ideology, and those who choose to avoid this path then take on an additional burden that makes them less competitive. At the same time, institutions and social standards start to work against the civilization by enforcing honesty in the context of an unrealistic narrative, forcing people to become dishonest.
Since the end of World War II, the only remaining ideology has been Leftism, but it has adapted to include capitalism in a neutered form, namely "consumerism" in which through egalitarian policies and the welfare state, all consumers have some money, which corrects capitalism not toward realistic goals, but ideological ones as people buy what they think makes them successful according to the franchise.
With the rise of what the media calls "populism," drawing comparison to the American Nativist movement of the 1840s, the Leftist regime — driven by globalism, liberal democracy, diversity and consumerism — has collapsed as an idea. People trusted it when it seemed to lead to good results, but when given full power with the election of Barack Obama, the Left proved to be as destructive as in the USSR.
As a result, people starting with the natural leaders who are the most competent but often the least officially recognized in their fields, have turned against the "liberal world order":
At a time of "uncertainty" we must double down on the values that made Western democracies great, and not allow the "liberal world order" to be torn apart by destructive forces.
…He warned that the reason for the pressure on the democratic order is the rise in income inequality and the hollowing out of the middle class, as the rich get richer and people in developing nations see their lives gradually improve.
Biden went on to identify Russia as the force of this change, wanting to "roll back decades of progress." In reality, this is merely scapegoating: the Left needs someone to blame for its own failure, so it has conjured up a hybrid of King George III, Jefferson Davis and Adolf Hitler. In reality, the impulse against the "liberal world order" or "new world order" has come from within the West, and is a cultural wave against the ideas which legitimize this new world order by indicating it is our best possible future.
As history shows us, Leftist governments fail the same way wherever they are tried. They fall in the same way every time, which is to gain power, become unstable, and then launch a series of wars as they try to re-build the collective consciousness that united their people when they were in the process of achieving Leftism. The reason for this has to do with the origins of Leftism.
Since Leftism is derived from the ideological viewpoint itself, it serves to unify people by opposing a natural state. Once power occurs, and that natural state is displaced, Leftism no longer has a scapegoat. Since Leftism is based on regulating our methods so that we can change natural reality, its only objection to others occurs on the basis of their methods. This does not allow the formation of a Leftist goal in itself.
As a result, Leftism fragments when power is achieved and it has agreement on nothing but power itself, which causes its social support to waver and often, to oppose it. It is common for people to support a revolution and then turn on it once it has power because it has become the new version of the scapegoat it targeted. Re-unifying these people requires a bogeyman even bigger than Hitler.
For this reason, we must look carefully at what Leftists complain about. If inequality has occurred, it is because Leftist policies failed to remove inequality and instead accelerated it as people learned to use the ideological path to power in their favor. If the middle class is perishing, it is because Leftist wealth transfer programs penalized the most consistent sector instead of "the rich," always an amorphous term.
As a result, early opposition to Leftism is disorganized and inept, but later opposition has widely popular support and consists of a demand to remove Leftist programs so that what was there before can exist again, because it was better:
Hedge Fund billionaire Ray Dalio warned on a panel chaired by Bloomberg Television's Francine Lacqua that "we may be at a point where globalization is ending, and provincialization and nationalization is taking hold."
…Davos over the decades has become synonymous with globalization and open markets, but in the background this year is the failure of business and political elites to predict any of the seismic political events that shaped 2016. That has raised questions over whether they are capable of understanding and addressing the anti-establishment forces that have roiled the U.S. and Europe over the past year.
These elites have become powerful in the years after Leftist takeover by pandering to the society it has created, and they know that with the reversal of these policies, their fortunes will also reverse. Globalization was their dream because it meant that one standardized world market would enable them to expand their empires to all corners of the globe. Now they are looking at a breakup as people pull away.
They might as well rage against cycles of the moon. The breaking away of people, especially more proficient groups, from the rest has been going on since the dawn of time and is how humans evolve. Most humans are mildly delusional and narcissistic, so those that are not move away from the others and set up a civilization based on being realistic. It then thrives until it breeds more delusional and narcissistic people.
Leftism arises through a process of rationalization of the decay. Fighting decay is socially unpopular, so unscrupulous people choose instead to say something popular that denies decay and scapegoats something else, namely the lack of Utopian or "progressive" thinking. This enables them to become kings among the ruins, even if it ultimately dooms them.
The scariest fact about ideology is that people cannot leave it behind because to do so is to incur the wrath of the herd:
Years ago, watching science fiction magazines and newspapers of various sorts come and go, I identified a process I called "roll hard left and die."
When a magazine or a newspaper or any news or entertainment media was in real trouble, they went hard, hard left, then died.
It took me a little while to realize this was a sane strategy. In a field completely controlled by the left, when you knew that your job was in peril be it through mismanagement or whatever, your last hope was to go incredibly hard left, so you could blame the failure on ideology. And instead of not being able to find a job, you found yourself lionized by all the "right" (left) "thinking people." New jobs were assured.
This is how societies die: once in the grip of ideology, they can never back down or admit they are wrong, and each person in a quest for personal successful will re-affirm the ideology endlessly even as doom becomes apparent. They do this because they can claim they did the right thing, and were martyred for it, and so always have hope of personal success at the expense of the group, a usual human modus operandi.
Their only option thus is to double down on what they have said so far, and to intensify it by accusing those who deviate from the Leftist program of whatever sins according to Leftism might be made to semi-plausibly stick to them. This is why we get the constant ranting about how those who are not Leftists are Nazis, George III or Confederates:
"Certain politicians are flourishing and even gaining power by portraying rights as protecting only the terrorist suspect or the asylum seeker at the expense of the safety, economic welfare, and cultural preferences of the presumed majority," wrote Roth. "They scapegoat refugees, immigrant communities, and minorities. Truth is a frequent casualty. Nativism, xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia are on the rise."
One must remember the old saying that says The Leftist cries out in pain as he hits you to see what is going on here. They accuse us of racial hatred and scapegoating, which means they are motivated by racial hate — against any strong national group, as it turns out — and scapegoating. They accuse of what they are doing to deflect from their own behavior, like children caught fighting: "But he started it!"
What they are really saying here is that the groups they forced together through Leftism and Globalization are now splitting apart because there were insufficient motivations to hold them together, plus as has become obvious during the last few years, massive disadvantages to Leftist rule. This means that we are heading for first what Billy Roper calls "balkanization," or division into separate groups, and eventually separation and a global re-sorting according to which tribe we find an identity in, as Samuel P. Huntington wrote about in his The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order.
The result will be a giant crack-up that starts as political separation, but accelerates to tribalism, with massive relocation of populations across the world:
The thirty-year-long Peloponnesian War did not start overnight. Greek casus belli intensified gradually over a fifty-year span as selfish agendas became acceptable through the slow creep of greed, pride and suspicion. Ironically, the very peace Athenians and Spartans secured against Persia enabled the widening of attitudes. Tragically, Greek divergence metastasized into open conflict and, ultimately, mutual ruin.
Why? A key message of Thucydidean history is that without mutual effort for unity, a people of common heritage but different perspectives will develop oppositional interests over time. This was the case with Athens and Sparta and is occurring in "blue" and "red" segments of America's populace.
…As with Athens, "blue" populations view themselves as exemplars and vanguards for Western civilization's progress at home and abroad. Athens' rival was Sparta, principally an agrarian society husbanded within the countryside and without continual contact with overseas cultures. Sparta maintained a formidable army and militant ethos to protect its land's resources against enemies.
In other words, we see two different ways of life here: the primarily agrarian and warlike red states, and the primarily mercantile and cosmopolitan blue states, but the secret is this, this division extends across the West. Thus we will see the same split in Europe and afterwards in every other first-world nation. The Leftist franchise has ended, and we are separating between those who want it and those who hate it.
With that political breakup dies the forces that held globalization together and which are forcing different groups to coexist, which these groups resent. As the false unification of the Leftist franchise loses cultural legitimacy, individuals will separate voluntarily from those who are around them but of a different political or tribal inclination.
Leftism, in other words, is failing as it always does, leaving behind shattered impoverished nations in which the populations cannot be united again. A sensible act is to leapfrog balkanization as much as possible and encourage the inevitable world tribal sorting to occur as efficiently and bloodlessly as possible. If we refuse to do that, war is our destiny.

Modern Existence Radiates Futility | Individualism Spotted In The Wild


No matter who you are or what you do, you need to say two words often and genuinely. They are thank you. Most of us don't say it enough or with sincerity.
When was the last time you felt deeply grateful? What happened? And, more importantly, what did you DO to acknowledge your gratitude? Gratitude is an attitude muscle that needs daily exercise!
Every day, Marcia reflects thankfulness in her gratitude journal. She makes a note of at least three things to express gratitude and why she is grateful. Carol uses this same approach and writes about three things she accomplished that day and expresses gratitude. Then it is important to follow up! The next day they both do something to reflect this gratitude. The quickest and best idea is to send a thank you note by snail mail. To have this note most effective, make it specific, personal and be your authentic self. If you want to send a gift, think outside of the box. Some fun ideas are movie tickets, gift cards, a sheet of Forever postage stamps. These can all be included easily inside your thank you note. Or you can think of something specific to make their lives easier; bake homemade doggy treats or volunteer for a dog walk for your pet-loving friends. Being specific shows sincerity.
Marcia's most commented upon thank you, even after thirty years was an office set she made for her buyers out of sidewalk chalk! She still sees some of these vintage pieces on buyer's desks. She made four different pieces and sent one piece per week for a month. When the month was over, her buyers' desks were decorated with a clever variation of her own product. No matter what you think of, Just Do It and try to make it personal to your work for maximum impact!
When expressing your gratitude with the words "thank you," be timely, specific, and genuine. Hand written and mailed with a stamp in an envelope are required!!! No emails!!! It's too powerful and too important to do it only half way. A card with a thoughtful message is something people hold dear. They appreciate a personal message in your handwriting. Waiting too long to say thank you makes you come across as insincere.
What was the reason for your last Thank You? Was it for a referral to a potential client? Or a lead to a job opening? Or perhaps an introduction? Or an invitation? Maybe even a gift or kindness? Or perhaps someone took their time to evaluate your LinkedIn profile or evaluate your business? Have you thanked someone for just being their friend?
Life is much better because we are happier when we are grateful. How can you spread that happiness to everyone around you? Those who are more grateful are more productive and inspired due to their greater passion and commitment levels.
The best gifts still come from the heart! If your friend has a special cause they care about, why not make a donation in their name or volunteer some of your time to their cause? This will mean more than cookies, candies, or flowers because you're taking your friend's love and spreading it around to others.
Now…right now is the time to reflect, express, and reap the benefits of gratitude! Today's world is fast paced. Let's make it a point to not let Thank You slip away.
And while it's fun to thank our peeps for the "good stuff"; it's doubly important to thank your complaining customers. Why?? If they are complaining, it generally means they still want to do business with you. The best way to handle this is to first thank them for their business and then explain how you will make things right and then offer a special thank you gift letting them know they are helping you make your business or service even better for them and others. This is your chance to earn their repeat business.
Thank you for taking your valuable time to read this post. Please comment and let us know your favorite thank you of all times? We would love to hear your thoughts on thank you…and who will receive your next thank you note and why you are sending it?
Share here and we'll pass around some clever new ways to say thank you. Saying thank you is simple, it's powerful, and you will make someone's day with a sincere thank you!!

Legacies to our hospitals have a huge impact, funding the latest medical equipment and pioneering research, and creating more comfortable and welcoming hospital environments for patients, young and old.
A gift in your Will, big or small, can help transform care for hundreds and even thousands of local patients for years to come. It can also be a tax-efficient way of managing your finances.
Legacies have enabled our charity to make inspiring improvements to care across all our hospitals.
In recent years gifts through Wills supported the Oxford Children's Hospital, the Oxford Eye Hospital, the Brodey Cancer Centre at the Horton and pioneering cancer and cardiac research projects.
In fact, there's a long history of the impact of legacies dating back as far as the very first hospital in Oxford. This was founded in 1758 thanks to a legacy from Dr John Radcliffe, the physician to Queen Anne.
This tradition of caring for the future of others in the local community is the fundamental basis of our hospital charity.
With our charity, you have the benefit of knowing that your donation will be spent in your local hospitals, and could benefit friends, family and your local community long into the future.
As none of us know the exact direction medical developments will lead us to in the future, we suggest donors ask their solicitor to liaise with us about the precise wording in their Will. This will ensure the gift is flexible enough to cope with medical innovations and future developments, and we can use the gift wisely and respectfully, in line with the donor's wishes.
Some decide to leave a legacy as a 'thank you' for the care they, or a loved one, have received at one of our hospitals, or through the desire to fund medical advances and improvements in care that will benefit their own families and communities in the future.
Taking the time to make a Will gives you peace of mind, and ensures that the people you love, and the causes you care about most, are provided for.
By leaving a legacy to Oxford Hospitals Charity you will be helping to ensure that future generations benefit from the very best healthcare and latest research here in your hospital.
The following information will help you or your solicitor, but don't hesitate to get in touch with us if you would like more guidance.
We recommend using a qualified professional to help you create your Will. This makes sure your wishes are clear and the Will is legally sound.
If you already have a Will, a solicitor can easily amend it for you by writing a codicil to file alongside the existing Will.
Where possible, we encourage broad support, such as choosing to support the charity as a whole (so we can direct your fund to our areas of greatest need) or one of our hospitals or larger medical areas.
This ensures your donation is flexible enough to adjust to future advances in medical technology and be used where the need is greatest.
You should name the charity, Oxford Hospitals Charity, and include the registered charity number (1175809).
If you wish to specify a particular hospital or area It is helpful to say 'I wish to support …' as this means if the area is re-named, or medical technology changes substantially, we can ensure your gift can still be used.
There are three main ways of making a donation through your Will.
A residuary legacy is a percentage of your estate - you can include your loved ones and charitable causes and will know that the value of these gifts will not decrease with inflation.
You can also choose to leave a specific gift - such as a building, piece of land or shares.
We would welcome the chance to talk to you about how a gift in your Will could help across our hospitals.
If you would like to find out more, please contact us, or ask your solicitor to contact us.
