How do I earn an online career diploma in Dog Obedience Training or Instructor?
Our dogs must be socially acceptable, as they become important members of our family. Often puppies and adult dogs can be a little unruly, therefore, dog obedience trainers and instructors are needed. They are professionals who work to train canines properly, as well as, teach their owners proper dog handling techniques.
Although dog obedience training programs are available 100% online, they may be hard to find. Generally, you will need a subject (aka your dog) to train, therefore, most obedience schools take place at a school campus or your local community center. Hybrid programs will allow you to study details online but will require you and your dog to work with a mentor. Most career diploma or certificate programs that focus on dog obedience training can be completed in less than a year.
Coursework included in your program will include a focus on learning the basic commands for controlled dog behavior. You will also learn about each type of dog breed and the requirement standards for the show ring, how to promote positive socialization and interaction between dogs and humans, as well as, the various stages of a dog's growth.
Your online dog obedience program should also provide you with experience in walking a dog on a leash, pet safety and solving behavior problems such as chewing, excessive barking or jumping with voice commands and body cues. You will also learn proper housebreaking techniques, animal science and nutrition, behavior of domestic animals and some business management coursework for those interested in opening their own dog training business.
Depending on your interest, you may want to research what kind of training program you would like to specialize in. Do you enjoy working with domestic dogs with minor behavioral problems? Are you interested in showing dogs or helping handlers who do? Perhaps, you enjoy working with sporting dogs who hunts or the active dog training for an agility competition. It's always best to pursue the type of training that interests you the most to get the best results.
To add to your accolades, you may choose to earn additional certifications to showcase your talents as a trainer and gain the confidence of potential clients. There are several professional certification organizations such as, the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC).
To enter an online dog obedience trainer/instructor, most programs prefer that you have a high school diploma or GED. Online programs usually provide DVD's and textbooks for learning (dog not included), however, through an online course you will be expected to train on your own time but… you will need to provide your own subject to train. On-campus programs will require that you bring your dog to class with you.
If you're a dog lover, don't hesitate to earn your training certification today! If you are interested in this career field, please see our choices for the best Online Schools for Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor programs.

Q: JavaScript If An Array Value Equals An Object The values for "A" & "B" equal "Value" however the value for "C" equals [object Object]:
{
    "A": "Value",
    "B": "Value",
    "C": {
        "I": "Value",
        "II": "Value"
    }
}

I have a loop and would like to add an IF to check whether the value is equal to an [object Object], ie; has more than one field within.
What is the best way to achieve this?

A: Easiest would be to use typeof x where x is whatever you are checking. For "A" and "B" it would be "string" and for "C" it would be "object".

A: Check out this page on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/typeof
It describes the typeof operator.
if(typeof obj === 'object')
{
    ...
}
else if(typeof obj === 'string')
{
    ...
}

A: You could just transform each value into a string with .toString() function and check the result. If given value is an object - nested, single or even empty - it will return "[object Object]".
Note: It will work even if a given value is string, number, boolean or array.

var obj = {
    "A": "Value",
    "B": true,
    "C": {
        "I": "Value",
        "II": "Value",
        "III": {foo: 'bar'},
        "IV": {},
        "V": 'foo'
    },
    "D": 24,
    "E": ['hi']
};

for (var key in obj) {
  if (obj[key].toString() != "[object Object]" ) {
    console.log(obj[key]);
  } else {
    console.log("It's an object");
  }
}

A:    let test = {
      "first": "fetr",
      "second": {
        "edwr":12,
        "ewrgtr":32
      }
    };

    Object.keys(test).forEach(function (key) {
      if(typeof test[key] === 'object'){
        console.log(key,test[key]);
      }
    });

This works as of ECMAscript 5 :)

Following the defeat of the forces of Ding Chao at Harbin in February 1932, Feng Zhanhai withdrew his forces to Shanhetun, a village in the Wuchang District. He then called for volunteers, and the Public Safety Bureaus in the local districts turned over to them their police and militia, and established Feng as the General in command of a force, the Northeastern Loyal and Brave Army, of 15,000 men in the hills with the capital of Jilin City to his south and the metropolis of Harbin to his north. There he was able to wreak havoc on the Japanese rail communications on the Chinese Eastern Railway running through his area of control.

In response the Japanese and Manchukoans launched two campaigns to clear Feng's Army out of the countryside. From June to July 1932 the Feng Zhanhai Subjugation Operation cleared the districts of Shuangcheng, Acheng, Yushu, Wuchang, and Shulan of Feng's Anti-Japanese forces. This forced Feng to retreat to the west. In September 1932 during the Second Feng Zhanhai Subjugation Operation a force of 7,000 Manchukuoans cornered the now 10,000 men Volunteer force "bandits" of Feng retreating from the previous attack. Although surrounded, over half the guerrillas were able to slip through the encirclement and make good their escape to Rehe.

Later Feng's force joined in opposing the invasion of Rehe, and was forced to draw back into the area inside the Great Wall. Subsequently he participated in Feng Yuxiang's Anti Japanese Allied Army, as its Fourth Route Army commander in chief, against Japan and their Manchukuoan allied forces in the Dolonor area of Chahar. Following the dispersal of that force by Chiang Kai-shek, his force was formed into the 91st Division which Feng commanded until July 1938 when the Division suffered heavy casualties during the battle of Wuhan.

Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir 2010 - Wine
Grape Variety :
Site: a famous vineyard whose relief has no equivalent in Burgundy. Its round shape and steep slope evoke an ancient amphitheater. There are two major exposures: one is due south in the northern section and the other south west in the southern section. It is one of the largest among the seven Grand Crus of Chablis.
History & tradition: the name comes the French "chemin des vaudésirs" (path of the vaudésirs) cutting the vineyard down the middle. In the sixties, when the Chablis vineyards were all but abandoned, Robert Drouhin recognized the potential of this region which had been ravaged by the phylloxera disease a century before. He was one of the first Burgundy propriétaires who set about revitalizing the area.
Soil: the Kimmeridgian limestone contains millions of tiny marine fossils embedded in a kind of whitish mortar which may have been once the bottom of the sea...hundreds of million years ago. This marine origin gives the wines of Chablis their unique flavour.
Drouhin estate: 1.4 ha. (3.5 acres).
Biological cultivation since 1990 and biodynamic cultivation since 1999.
Soil maintenance: age-old methods. Ploughing: "buttage" (hilling up around the vine-stocks) in autumn; "débuttage" (ploughing back in spring); work between the rows and the vine stocks done with manual tools only.
Treatment: only authorized products for biological cultivation are used - infusions and macerations of plant materials, sulfur and copper, powdered rock. Natural predators are not eliminated.
Plantation density: 8,000 to 10,000 stocks/ha.
Pruning: double Guyot "Vallée de la Marne" (for its resistance to frost).
Yield: we aim for a lower yield, such as it existed before the new law. This yield is therefore the present maximum yield minus 20%.
Average yield at the Domaine: 46.62hl/ha (the yield currently authorized for the appellation is now 54hl/ha).
Harvesting: by hand.
Pressing: very slow so as to respect the fruit. Juices from the last pressings are not retained.
Type: in oak barrel (0% new wood).
Length: 12 months.
Origin of the wood: French oak forests.
Weathering of the wood: Joseph Drouhin insists on total control of the weathering for a period of 3 years, one of the contributing elements to the elegance of the wine.
Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
"An exquisite wine often drunk on its own as an aperitif. Pure and limpid colour, with a faint greenish hint. On the nose, fresh aromas of flower and fruit (lemony flavours) and, at times, spicy notes of coriander. On the palate: harmonious aromas bringing character and elegance. The magnitude of its Grand Cru origin and the light salty notes from the Kimmeridgian soil are in evidence. Remarkably long and complex persistence in the aftertaste".
The wines are pure. They show style and elegance. The good balance between mellowness and acidity provides a lot of freshness and enhances their fruitiness and character.
Temperature: 14°C (55°F).
Cellaring: 5 to 15 years.

Yeoman Poland :: On 29 May TBM machine "Damroka" officially started tunnel boring.
On 29 May TBM machine "Damroka" officially started tunnel boring.
The tunnel under Vistula river is a part of the Słowacki Route, which shall connect the airport in Rębiechowo with the Eastern part of the port of Gdańsk. In that place, it shall meet the Sucharski Route with which it shall form a ring road around the downtown of Gdańsk.
YEOMAN Poland has been selected as exclusive supplier of CR aggregates for the needs of the investment project. Over 2-yearlong construction process shall consume approximately 200 thousand tonnes of granite. The granite aggregate deriving from the GLENSANDA Scottish quarry has been used both in concrete mixes being applied directly at the construction site as well as at the time of executing prefabricated concrete elements, the so-called TUBINGS. These elements are produced at P.B. Kokoszki S.A. prefabrication plant.
The construction of the Tunnel under the Vistula river is a gigantic undertaking – one of a kind in Poland.
Double-tunnel route section measuring 1.4 km in length shall cross underneath Vistula at the depth of almost 35 meters at the lowest point. Each of the tunnels shall have two lanes of traffic on it. It shall be linked with another tunnel by means of seven mini-tunnels being escape routes. The tunnel shall be made by boring, using TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine).
The construction of tunnel section with the already built three sections of the Słowacki Route shall consume a total of PLN 1.420 billion; PLN 1.154 billion of which is to be funded by the European Union, out of the Cohesion Fund, under the Infrastructure and Environment Programme.
Formally, the construction process was commenced by the end of 2011, however, the actual execution started in the 1st quarter of 2012. The completion of the investment project is planned by the end of 2014.
The "Damroka" is a mixshield type TBM, adapted for boring heavily soaked grounds, provided with disk diameter of 12.6 meters, i.e. being one of the biggest in the world. TBM weighs 2200 tones and is 91 meters long. In Gdańsk it shall bore 2 tubes in the tunnel; in each one, there shall be two traffic lanes, and the length of each of these is 1076 meters. Moving forward, the TBM lays behind it, rings composed of 7 elements - 6 basic ones and the seventh so-called "wedge". Each of the elements is reinforced, and the mass of each of the basic ones is approximately 17 tons. Average work rate of the machine is 10 meters per day.
The TBM has been made in the town of Schwanau in Germany by Herrenknecht.
Its cost is PLN 82 million.

TORONTO, Canada, April 12, 2019 – Fairmont Royal York, one of Canada's most celebrated landmarks, today revealed its newly reimagined Fairmont Gold offering, the brand's exclusive luxury "hotel within a hotel" experience within the property. Perched high above the city on the 12th through 18th floors of the hotel, with a private lounge featuring commanding views of the Toronto skyline, the new Fairmont Gold indulges discerning guests, from celebrities and heads of state, to business executives and leisure travelers, with the highest level of exceptional service for a memorable and personalized stay.
Fairmont Royal York commissioned Champalimaud Design, the award-winning firm and global tastemaker in hospitality interiors, to revitalize its Fairmont Gold and showcase a sophisticated, warm and welcoming atmosphere that evokes the hotel's history through a modern lens. Along with an intimate private lounge, Champalimaud reimagined Fairmont Gold's collection of 106 new elegantly appointed guestrooms, studio suites and one-bedroom suites. All guestrooms and suites feature expanded spaces, with both classic and modern details creating bold, visual statements inspired by the hotel's original 1920's Art Deco geometrics. Through signature furniture made in Canada and reflective fixtures such as marble countertops and statement headboards, each decorative accent highlights the hotel's elegant legacy while representing a contemporary and residential feel.
Fairmont Gold's refined taste is also showcased through its thoughtfully curated selection of artwork, chosen by Toronto firm, Tatar Art Projects. The art embodies the sophistication of Toronto and is a visual narrative of the city. The check-in area has hand-painted wallpaper created by a boutique Italian studio that was inspired by Toronto's inclusive cultures. Echoing the sublime elegance of a beautifully accented downtown Toronto residence, the scenes of the city were depicted in new, modern ways and nuances of the hotel's historic elements appear throughout its style. From the spectacular custom-made mural of the city skyline in the Fairmont Gold lounge, to the exquisite composition of artwork in the suites and public spaces, the pieces provide a sense of comfort and warmth while capturing the essence of the destination.
For nearly 90 years, Fairmont Royal York has stood proudly as a Toronto landmark, presiding over the block opposite Union Station – a love letter in stone to the heart of the city. It began its life as The Royal York, the tallest building in the British Commonwealth, soaring nearly 400 ft. and 28 storeys above the street level. A dominant feature on the skyline, the building contained 1,048 rooms, and included a concert hall, library, extensive bakery, radio station, ballrooms, restaurants, even a hospital. Little wonder it was called a city within a city – as it still is today. Today, this essential downtown landmark is in the midst of a multi-million dollar transformation, reimagining its lobby experience, rooms, dining venues, event spaces, and Fairmont Gold – the property's exclusive boutique luxury experience. Another stunning chapter for Toronto's eternal, essential landmark is about to begin. See our future here.

Dino Melaye Apologizes To God, Nigerians For Supporting Buhari In 2015
March 20, 2021 Angela Davies	10 Views2015 Presidential Election, Buhari, Dino Melaye 3 min read
Senator Dino Melaye has apologized to God and Nigerians for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election.
Melaye added that the 2015 presidential campaign of President Buhari was the biggest scam ever pulled in Africa.
He stated this on Friday while speaking during a programme "Politics Today" on Channels TV.
Melaye added that he is full of regret for supporting the candidacy of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
Recall that Buhari contested under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) six years ago and defeated ex-President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Melaye was among those who canvassed support for Buhari's presidential ambition, having dumped the PDP for the ruling APC.
Six years down the line, the former federal lawmaker and PDP chieftain asked God and Nigerians for forgiveness, noting that this current administration is the worst in the nation's history.
"I apologise to God almighty who is the supreme controller of the universe and Nigerians for supporting Buhari," he said during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today.

"The Buhari agenda is the greatest scam that came out of Africa. The Buhari presidency in 2015 is the greatest scam that came out of Africa.
"The subject Buhari is the greatest that came out of Africa. Once I was blind, now I can see. How can one remain in a political party and support the presidency with what is happening today in Nigeria? I regret seriously supporting that because we were scammed," he stated.
Senator Melaye also bemoaned what he described as corruption inherent in the ruling APC, noting that the current administration would inflate the amount of road contract.
Giving an instance, he wondered why the government would budget ₦2.1billion for the rehabilitation of one kilometre of road.
The PDP chieftain also spoke about the 2019 general elections where the main opposition fielded ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its candidate.
He said based on available statistics the PDP won the election, accusing the APC-led Federal Government of ousting former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen during the electioneering period.
When asked if Atiku would join the 2023 presidential race again, the ex-lawmaker said although he is qualified to aspire for the highest office in the land, he (Melaye) is not in a position to speak for the ex-Vice President.
"Atiku Abubakar is qualified in all ramifications to run for the Presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is not for me to ask him to run or not to run. Whether he should or not, my opinion is immaterial.
"When we get to the presidential primaries, I will vote for an aspirant I feel is qualified to run for the PDP. That is my personal opinion," he added.
On the security challenges facing the country, the PDP chieftain faulted the APC's handling of the security issue in the land.
He noted that the Nigerian Army that has excelled in international peacekeeping operations have been reduced to a boy scout under the APC's government.
Melaye stated further: "Nigerians are fed up with this NGO called the APC. The insecurity in this country, we have never seen anything like this, I cannot fathom it.
"The same Nigerian Army that did well in Sudan, Liberia, that went to Congo Brazzaville, that went to Sierra Leone, that has been going for United Nations' assignments and flying in brighter colours is the same Army, Air Force, Navy that is behaving like a boy scout today all because of corruption, ineptitude.
"There is no governance in government. We have no President, the President is not available. It has never been this terrible."

How to prepare safely New Years Eve!
New Year's season is one of the most fun and joyous holidays of the year. However, did you know that it is also one of the most dangerous holidays of the year?
It is estimated that during Christmas and New Year's season, almost 95 million Americans will be on the road traveling to visit family and friends. People are much more likely to drink and drive around Jan. 1 than during any other major holiday of the year. Almost half of all car accidents on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are due to drinking and driving.
How the cold weather can hurt our health.
There are workers and people at home working around the house outside who are exposed to extreme cold or work in cold environments for a long period of time may be at risk of cold stress. Extreme cold weather is a dangerous situation that can bring on health emergencies in susceptible people, such as those without shelter, outdoor workers, and those who work in an area that is poorly insulated or without heat. What constitutes cold stress and its effects can vary across different areas of the country. In regions relatively unaccustomed to winter weather, near freezing temperatures are considered factors for "cold stress." Whenever temperatures drop decidedly below normal and as wind speed increases, heat can more rapidly leave your body. These weather-related conditions may lead to serious health problems.
When exposed to cold temperatures, your body begins to lose heat faster than it can be produced. Prolonged exposure to cold will eventually use up your body's stored energy. The result is hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. A body temperature that is too low affects the brain, making the victim unable to think clearly or move well. This makes hypothermia particularly dangerous because a person may not know it is happening and will not be able to do anything about it.
The symptoms you see with this hypothermia (body exposed to freezing temperatures) are: SHIVERING, LOSS OF COORDINATION, FATIGUE, CONFUSION OR DISORIENTATION.
When the hypothermia gets severe the symptoms go to NO SHIVERING, BLUE SKIN (CYANOTIC), DILATED PUPILS, SLOWED PULSE AND BREATHING, AND LOSS OF CONCIOUSNESS.
Another problem secondary to cold weather is cold water immersion creates a specific condition known as immersion hypothermia. It develops much more quickly than standard hypothermia because water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air. Typically people in temperate climates don't consider themselves at risk from hypothermia in the water, but hypothermia can occur in any water temperature below 70°F. Survival times can be lengthened by wearing proper clothing (wool and synthetics and not cotton), using a personal flotation device (PFD, life vest, immersion suit, dry suit), and having a means of both signaling rescuers (strobe lights, personal locator beacon, whistles, flares, waterproof radio) and having a means of being retrieved from the water. Below you will find links with information about cold water survival and cold water rescue.
Another problem due to cold weather is frostbite is an injury to the body that is caused by freezing. Frostbite causes a loss of feeling and color in the affected areas. It most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can permanently damage body tissues, and severe cases can lead to amputation. In extremely cold temperatures, the risk of frostbite is increased in workers with reduced blood circulation and among workers who are not dressed properly. Signs or symptoms of frostbite are reduced blood flow to hands and feet (fingers or toes can freeze), Reduced blood flow to hands and feet (fingers or toes can freeze, numbness, tingling or stinging, aching, pale to blue and even waxy skin.
Another problem from long exposure to cold that can arise is trench foot, also known as immersion foot, is an injury of the feet resulting from prolonged exposure to wet and cold conditions. Trench foot can occur at temperatures as high as 60 degrees F if the feet are constantly wet. Injury occurs because wet feet lose heat 25-times faster than dry feet. Therefore, to prevent heat loss, the body constricts blood vessels to shut down circulation in the feet. Skin tissue begins to die because of lack of oxygen and nutrients and due to the buildup of toxic products.
Symptoms of trench foot include: Reddening of the skin, Numbness, Leg cramps, Swelling, Tingling pain, Blisters or ulcers, Bleeding under the skin, and Gangrene (the foot may turn dark purple, blue, or gray).
Wear appropriate clothing. Tight clothing reduces blood circulation. Warm blood needs to be circulated to the extremities.
Make sure to protect the ears, face, hands and feet in extremely cold weather. Wear a hat; it will keep your whole body warmer. (Hats reduce the amount of body heat that escapes from the head).
Monitor your physical condition whenever you go outside in the cold and prepare properly for that weather.
High Blood Pressure or Hypertension affects 80 million Americans and nearly half of the people in the UK between the ages of 65 and 74, and a large percentage of those between the ages of 35 and 65. One of the problems associated with high blood pressure is that you will probably not even know you have it until you happen to have your blood pressure taken during a routine physical examination.
Upon diagnosis, you may wonder why you never saw it coming. Most people don't. Only those with severe high blood pressure experience any warning signs at all.
These signs can include headaches, impaired vision, and black-outs.
It is the measurement of the force that blood applies to the walls of the arteries as it flows through them carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body's vital organs and systems. Naturally, our blood is under pressure as it rushes through our arteries. Even those with blood pressure in the normal range will experience an increase in their blood pressure during rigorous physical activity or during times of stress. It only becomes a problem when the blood continues to run high. This condition of blood pressure is known as hypertension or high blood pressure and in 95% of the cases, the cause of it is never known. However, we do know the factors that set a person up to develop hypertension.

1-Obesity=Those with a body mass index of 30 or greater.
2-Drinking more than 2 to 4 alcoholic drinks a day.
Sometimes the cause of a person's high blood pressure is determined, but this happens in only 5% of the cases. When a cause is found, the person is diagnosed with secondary high blood pressure [hypertension]. In most of these cases, the cause can be linked to an underlying illness such as kidney disease, adrenal gland disease, or narrowing of the aorta. Contraceptive pills, steroids, and some medications can also cause secondary high blood pressure [hypertension], though instances of this are not all that common.
We hear the numbers, but do we really know what they mean? Since your blood pressure numbers can help you to understand your overall health status, it is important that you keep track of it. By knowing where your numbers are right now, you can head off such serious high blood pressure complications as angina, heart attacks, stroke, kidney damage, and many others that might surprise you – like eye problems and gangrene.
The top number– this is your systolic blood pressure. It measures the force of blood in the arteries as your heart beats. The top number means the pressure is reading your heart at work. That is why this number is always highier.
The bottom number – this is your diastolic blood pressure. It is the pressure of your blood when the heart is relaxed in between the times when it is pumping. Means the pressure is reading your heart at rest. That is why the number is always lowest.
Your blood pressure requires monitoring when you have a systolic blood pressure of 140 or over and/or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 or over. Those with diabetes must maintain a lower blood pressure that those who don't have the condition. Diabetics should maintain a blood pressure of less than 130/80.
It is wise to monitor your blood pressure at home in addition to having it taken at your doctor's office. This will allow you to provide your doctor with readings that have been taken over time, providing a more in depth look at your personal health condition. This will help him or her to prescribe the right hypertensive medication and treatment for your specific condition.
The best blood pressure monitors are those that take your measurement from the upper arm. Those that provide readings from the wrist or finger are not as reliable. You'll also want to make sure that the blood pressure monitor you are considering has been proven in clinical trials. Trusted name brands include those made by Omron, LifeSource, Mark of Fitness, Micro Life, and A and D Instruments. There are other brands available – the important thing is to do your research.
Hearing loss affects people in different ways. Left undiagnosed or untreated, it can damage communications and erode relationships. Over time, hearing loss may degenerate from a strictly physical condition to a psychological one, which is just one of the reasons it is so important to seek a solution promptly. For most people with hearing loss, there is help. Properly fitted hearing aids improve communication for at least 90 percent of people with hearing loss.
Screenings for diabetes and other conditions typically do not include hearing tests. If you have one of these conditions, it's probably a good idea to ask for a referral to a hearing care professional who can conduct a hearing screening to see if you are suffering from any kind of hearing loss.
Many other factors can lead to hearing loss, including your family history, repeated exposure to loud noises, injuries, and smoking.
If you have hearing loss, you are not alone. About one in six people experience some degree of hearing impairment over the course of their lives.
3-National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).
Of adults ages 65 and older in the United States, 12.3 percent of men and nearly 14 percent of women are affected by tinnitus. Tinnitus is identified more frequently in white individuals and the prevalence of tinnitus in almost twice as frequent in the South as in the Northeast.
About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born deaf or hard-of-hearing. Nine out of every 10 children who are born deaf are born to parents who can hear.
Roughly 25 million Americans have experienced tinnitus.
Approximately 615,000 individuals have been diagnosed with Ménière's disease in the United States. Another 45,500 are newly diagnosed each year.
Approximately 3 to 6 percent of all deaf children and perhaps another 3 to 6 percent of hard-of-hearing children have Usher syndrome. In developed countries such as the United States, about 4 babies in every 100,000 births have Usher syndrome.
One out of every 100,000 individuals per year develops an acoustic neurinoma (vestibular schwannoma).
More than 500 million people around the world are experiencing some form of hearing loss right now. Are you one of them?

Conversing by e-mail and mediated by an imaginary cyber-moderator, two of the co-editors of this Special Issue on Performative Social Science (PSS) Mary GERGEN and Kip JONES, themselves pioneers of PSS, engage in conversation around such topics as creativity, skill and craft, outputs and outcomes, aesthetics, audience, evaluation, interpretation, scholarship, ambiguity, talking and doing, and inter-disciplinary collaborations. While GERGEN concludes that action is meaningful and rich in symbolic significance, JONES, like Norma DESMOND, speculates that PSS "is big; it's the pictures that got smaller". © 2008 FQS.

Who was the first of these Canadians to appear in a silent movie?
May Irwin
Florence Lawrence
Mary Pickford made her film debut in 1909, but Florence Lawrence, the famous "Biograph Girl" made her first film in 1907. It was May Irwin, a star on Broadway, who made a very short film for Edison in 1896 that holds the distinction of being the first Canadian to appear in a silent movie. BTW: The first films shot in Canada were of Niagara Falls and are were made in 1897.

The delivery platforms of birth spacing and family planning interventions were often associated with health clinics and community health posts (148–150). Many interventions targeted lactating women during the follow-up with their young children (148, 151–153). Home visits by community health workers and service provision at community health posts and mobile clinics were also used to target women and adolescents who were married, and were found to be effective at increasing use of contraception (150, 154). School-based programs were also effective at reaching adolescent girls and increased their knowledge about contraceptives and sexually transmitted infections, use of contraception, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (155). In high-income settings, school-based interventions were most effective at reducing pregnancies and repeated pregnancies among adolescents when contraception was also available on-site (107). This might have implications for their effectiveness in low- and middle-income countries, as well. In addition, formative work of 2 ongoing studies suggested that mass media, mobile devices, texting, and community mobilization could also be used as platforms to reach adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (156, 157). Community-based programs that target men, families, and communities, beyond those that reach married and postpartum women alone, have potential to change cultural norms and enhance women's health outcomes; however, these are not well captured in the literature.
Second, the scope of nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive approaches was largely focused on undernutrition. There were major research and programming gaps in studies targeting overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease. In our review, the interventions addressing overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease were limited to nutrition education and integrated healthcare. However, overweight and obesity were identified as potential concerns for interventions targeting undernutrition, including food supplementation, and in-kind and cash transfers. This might be a result of the types of interventions that were evaluated, but also speaks to the need to broaden the scope of nutrition interventions that are commonly assessed (5, 13, 14) to explicitly address overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease as nutrition outcomes, and not just as unintended consequences. Globally, there is limited evidence of large-scale interventions that effectively prevent, treat, or correctly classify adiposity-related noncommunicable diseases, and this is a growing area of concern around the world (208). Future evaluations of nutrition interventions might also include interventions that influence women's time and physical environment, and that encourage physical activity or change in access to and affordability of certain foods, as these might also influence overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease outcomes for women.
Dietary fiber is found in plant foods like whole-grain breads and cereals, beans and peas, and other vegetables and fruits. At least one study suggests that women who eat high amounts of fiber (especially in cereal) may have a lower risk for heart disease. High-fiber intake is also associated with lower cholesterol, reduced cancer risk and improved bowel function. And one long-term study found that middle-aged women with a high dietary fiber intake gained less weight over time than women who ate more refined carbohydrates, like white bread and pasta.
World Health Organization. Salt reduction and iodine fortification strategies in public health: report of a joint technical meeting convened by the World Health Organization and The George Institute for Global Health in collaboration with the International Council for the Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders Global Network, Sydney, Australia, March 2013 . Geneva: World Health Organization; 2014.
However, many fortification programs in low- and middle-income countries are regional or voluntary and, thus, might have a limited nutritional impact at the national level (76). Although many efficacy trials show benefits of fortification interventions, scaling up fortification is limited by inadequate coverage and resources (13, 77, 78). Evidence for impact is also affected by suboptimal programming, low-bioavailability fortificants (e.g., reduced iron powder), poor consumption rates, weak enforcement mechanisms, and inadequate monitoring (76, 79, 80). More research is needed to evaluate the long-term impact of fortification and biofortification programs (75). In addition, there is also growing concern about fortifying and promoting food vehicles that have adverse health consequences when consumed in excess, such as salt and sugar, given the rising prevalence of overweight, obesity, and noncommunicable disease (81–83).
Social protection programs typically target the most marginalized members of communities and typically families with children (5, 196). Cash transfers are often targeted to women in these households because they more often invest the transfers in household and food expenditures than men do (192, 202, 204, 205). Cash transfer programs were also targeted to older adults through government-coordinated programs (196, 198, 206). The delivery of transfers involved community centers (town halls, post offices) and banks, as well as locations associated with other services, e.g., schools or health centers (192, 206, 207). These latter platforms were relevant not only for the distribution of social protection programs (i.e., the receipt of transfers), but also for enrollment in and "conditions" of those programs. Conditional transfers required that recipients had access to certain delivery platforms (e.g., schools and health centers) in order to meet the "conditions" of their transfer, and this was a limitation in very rural areas. Although social protection programs are intended for the most vulnerable populations, their delivery platforms can serve as barriers to individuals' receipt of services, particularly if they require engagement with health care, school, or work-related systems.
There are many well-documented challenges in disentangling empowerment interventions from other interventions with which they are delivered. Empowerment interventions are often integrated into income-generating activities and agricultural extension, and many empowerment approaches are retroactively classified as "nutrition-sensitive" despite a lack of nutrition components in the original intervention designs (5). In addition, many studies are limited in scope and their evaluation of nutrition outcomes (159), and it is difficult to evaluate which dimensions of women's empowerment matter most for nutrition (162). Notably, indicators to quantify women's empowerment are also not used consistently and vary widely between individual studies (158).
The extent to which interventions target women more generally, as opposed to just mothers, is not well documented. It requires reflecting on "Who is the woman in women's nutrition?" to identify which women are actually targeted in nutrition interventions, which are not, how they are reached, and gaps in policies and interventions to reach women who are missed. To address this, in this comprehensive narrative review, we 1) summarize existing knowledge about interventions targeting women's health and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries, 2) identify gaps in current delivery platforms that are intended to reach women and address their health and nutrition, and 3) determine strategies to reshape policies and programs to reach all women, at all stages of their lives, with a particular focus on women in low- and middle-income countries.
Shape's mantra seems a far cry from the health and fitness publications of old. It also significantly strays a bit from the current Men's Health magazine, which still happily screams at you to get off your ass, already. The Jan/Feb top headline: "Get Back In Shape!", which sounds like an angry command more than a helpful title to a magazine article. The tagline to Men's Health is "tons of useful stuff," which all seem to incorporate words like "hot," "beast," and "crush." Inside, the "useful stuff" ranges from the difference between beef stock and beef broth to how to dump someone before Valentine's Day. And reps. Lots of reps. These guys love reps.
As women, many of us are prone to neglecting our own dietary needs. You may feel you're too busy to eat right, used to putting the needs of your family first, or trying to adhere to an extreme diet that leaves you short on vital nutrients and feeling cranky, hungry, and low on energy. Women's specific needs are often neglected by dietary research, too. Studies tend to rely on male subjects whose hormone levels are more stable and predictable, thus sometimes making the results irrelevant or even misleading to women's needs. All this can add up to serious shortfalls in your daily nutrition.

Where Women's Health may encourage its readers to take time for themselves, Men's Health encourages its followers to "10x Your Life: Get More Done, Waste Less Time," which I guess is comparable. Instead of many long-form articles, Men's Health doles out info in short column bits with lots of graphics—the better for men to process quickly at the gym/in the barber chair/on the train?
So we can applaud some of the efforts of Women's Health. As editor Amy Keller Laird announced in that Jan/Feb issue, the magazine "will no longer be using fitness models in our monthly '15-Minute Workout.' We'll feature readers of various body types and sizes," like the refreshingly normal-sized Morgan Gibson Kanner, hurling a weight plate around in stretchy workout clothes. As progressive as the layout is, Laird points out that "it's logistically difficult to book nonmodels who have day jobs"; sounds like she should hook up with Willcox's modeling service.
Eat healthy fats. According to the American Heart Association, women should get at least five to 10 percent of total daily calories from omega-6 fatty acids (equal to 12 to 20 grams), and between 0.5 and 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, depending on individual risk for heart disease. Good sources of omega-6 fatty acids include sunflower, safflower, corn, cottonseed and soybean oils. And good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include fatty fish, tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnuts, flaxseed, and their oils. Talk with your health care professional about how much of these beneficial oils you should be getting, how you can best incorporate them into your diet and whether or not you should be taking them in supplement form.
Iron is one of the keys to good health and energy levels in women prior to menopause. Foods that provide iron include red meat, chicken, turkey, pork, fish, kale, spinach, beans, lentils and some fortified ready-to-eat cereals. Plant-based sources of iron are more easily absorbed by your body when eaten with vitamin C-rich foods. So eat fortified cereal with strawberries on top, spinach salad with mandarin orange slices or add tomatoes to lentil soup.
The impact of income-generation interventions on women's nutrition has not been sufficiently evaluated. Income-generating interventions were associated with increases in women's income, empowerment, and household decision-making (161, 164–166). However, these gains were often at the expense of more work for women (5). Income-generation interventions have been associated with increased food-related expenditures, improved household food security, and greater household dietary diversity (160, 161, 165–168). Income-generating interventions targeting adolescents improved their social status; however, these showed no impact on their access to food, nor on individual and household food security (169). There was also limited evidence of impacts of income-generating interventions on women's anthropometric and biochemical nutrition outcomes (5, 169, 170). Increased income was associated with reductions in maternal underweight and anemia, but the reductions were modest (171). Studies suggested that the limited impact was related to continued poor access to health services (167), poor measurement, and the need for longer evaluation periods (164, 165, 167, 169).

Nebrodgran (Abies nebrodensis) är en tallväxtart som först beskrevs av Michele Lojacono-Pojero, och fick sitt nu gällande namn av Giovanni Ettore Mattei. Arten ingår i släktet ädelgranar och familjen tallväxter. Inga underarter finns listade i Catalogue of Life.

Utbredning och habitat
Nebrodgranen förekommer endemisk i Madoniebergen på norra Sicilien nära staden Polizzi Generosa. Arten saknas däremot i Nebrodibergen trots att dess namn syftar på bergstrakten. På grund av återskapade bestånd hittas nebrodgranen mellan 700 och 2 000 meter över havet. Arten bildar ofta skogar med silvergran och med bokar.

Hot
Vid början av 1900-talet betraktades arten som utdöd, men 1957 återupptäcktes enstaka exemplar. Året 2014 fanns 32 vuxna exemplar varav 25 hade reproduktionsförmåga, samt 155 unga träd. På grund av skyddsåtgärder ökar beståndet fortfarande. IUCN kategoriserar arten globalt som akut hotad.

Zelda 3DS Characters Headed to Hyrule Warriors as Final DLC
Ravio and Yuga are coming to Hyrule Warriors.
By Mat Paget on October 24, 2016 at 10:52AM PDT
Hyrule Warriors developer Koei Tecmo has announced that two characters from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds are on their way to the Wii U and 3DS versions of the hack-and-slash action game.
Shopkeeper Ravio and antagonist Yuga are the final DLC characters for the Zelda spinoff. While Ravio would rent items to Link in the 3DS adventure, he uses several of them in Hyrule Warriors during battle, including the Hammer, Ice Rod, Boomerang, and Bombs. Yuga, on the other hand, uses his magic wand to take out enemies.
In addition to the two characters, the DLC also comes with a new map for the game's Adventure mode. The map is based on Hyrule's dark world counterpart, Lorule, from A Link Between Worlds and comes with additional hearts and high-ranked weapons for Ravio and Yuga, among other things. Additionally, there's a set of 17 new costumes and 15 new Fairy Wear outfits. You can see everything in the gallery above.
The Link Between Worlds DLC is expected to release on October 31 on both Wii U and 3DS. Some of the DLC characters released in the past include Skull Kid from Majora's Mask, Toon Link from the DS games, and an official female version of Link.
Hyrule Warriors received a score of 8 in GameSpot's review. Critic Miguel Concepcion said, "Hyrule Warriors adds little innovation to Koei's megaseries as a whole, but nevertheless brings an undeniable spark ignited by the crossover cast itself. As one of the more well-produced Warriors games in recent memory, it is easy to see Hyrule Warriors paving the way for more Warriors spin-offs."

"Riding in My Car" (also called "Car Car" or "The Car Song") is a children's song by Woody Guthrie.

Guthrie wrote "Riding in My Car" during a productive period in the 1940s when he was living at Coney Island in New York. "Riding in My Car" was recorded as part of The Asch Recordings in the mid 1940s. It was released on 78 RPM record, then collected on 12" vinyl LP on Guthrie's 1951 album Songs to Grow on, Volume One: Nursery Days. It has since been included on several Guthrie compilation albums.

The song's playful lyrics include onomatopoeia, with the "motorboat" sound (an extended raspberry) imitating a car's engine. Possibly the best known of Guthrie's many children's songs, it remains a family and sing-along standard into the 21st century. "Riding in My Car" is included in the popular sing-along songbook Rise Up Singing.

"Riding in My Car" has been covered by artists including Peter, Paul and Mary on In Concert (1964) and Donovan on What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid (1965; US title Catch The Wind) (Donovan also performed the song at an October 2012 concert at the Kennedy Center, released on Woody At 100! Live at the Kennedy Center).

Other recordings include performances by Greg & Steve, Ramblin' Jack Elliot (on Songs to Grow On by Woody Guthrie, Sung by Jack Elliott), Odetta, Peter Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Kidsongs, and Judy Collins.

Bruce Springsteen performed the song at a Woody Guthrie tribute concert at Severance Hall in Cleveland on September 29, 1996, released that year on the record Til We Outnumber 'Em. Bob Dylan performed it at The Gaslight Cafe in 1961. A 1961 performance by Dylan of the song at a private party was made and later released on a bootleg record, The Minneapolis Party Tape.

Scott Menchin published a 2012 children's book, Riding in My Car, inspired by the song, and including his illustrations of the lyrics.

Do you need to prepare yourself, your family, your home, or your business for a natural disaster? Are you looking for information to help with the recovery process? Are you hoping to improve your community's long-term resilience for the future?
AIA may be able to help. Below are some resources and information to prepare for any kind of disaster, guide you toward emergency resources and information, and help you navigate the recovery process. State specific resources and information are available here.
Hurricanes can bring high winds, flooding, and other kinds of destruction, so AIA encourages homeowners to take proactive steps to stormproof their homes before a storm hits. Among other things, consider adopting mitigation techniques for your home, like making sure your downspouts are clean and directed away from the house, trimming or removing damaged trees and tree limbs, securing and reinforcing your roof, as well as ensuring your sump pump is working and the battery is fully charged. If you're in a flood-prone area, consider looking into your flood insurance options or even elevating your home.
Families also should consider putting together a disaster plan and practicing it ahead of time. Be sure to know your local hurricane evacuation routes and have a disaster supplies kit with cash, first aid supplies, a copy of your insurance policy, and other essentials ready to go.
What Should I Do During a Hurricane?
First and foremost, stay safe. Pay attention to local forecasts, heed evacuation notices from officials, and if necessary, follow the evacuation plan you prepared in advance. Sign up for emergency alerts in your community and move quickly to a safe location.
Your state or local government has a number of channels through which it communicates important updates. These could include food bank locations, safe places to take shelter, and other forms of assistance.
How Do I Recover After a Hurricane?
Do not return to your property until officials have said it is safe to do so. As you and your neighbors begin the recovery process, remember that everyone responds to tragedies in their own way. There are several resources available that can help you wrestle with a disaster's emotional toll.
As you begin cleaning up your property, make sure you follow public health guidance on safe clean-up procedures. Prepare a list of damaged property, and photograph or video damaged items and areas. Provide this list, with as much detail as you can, to your insurer or agent, so that they can process your claim as quickly as possible.
Finally, use this opportunity to rebuild stronger. Research the mitigation tactics that might be best for your situation, which may include adopting stronger building standards, re-landscaping your yard to absorb or divert water, or even elevating your home. If applicable, consider taking advantage of any buyback program your state offers if your house is at risk for repeat flooding.
Ninety percent of natural disasters in the United States involve some kind of flooding. It's the most common natural disaster in the United States, and it can happen anywhere – near oceans, rivers, levees, dams, and even after snowstorms. AIA encourages homeowners to think through their flood risk and prepare now – flooding can happen quickly, and even one inch of water can cause significant damage to your home.
Before a flood happens, among other things, consider taking steps to better prepare your property, like making sure your downspouts are clean and directed away from the house, trimming or removing damaged trees and tree limbs, securing and reinforcing your roof, as well as ensuring your sump pump is working and the battery is fully charged. Make sure you subscribe to your community's emergency alert system and prepare an evacuation plan for you and your family to follow in case of a flood. Lastly, since your standard homeowners' policy does not cover flooding, you may want to consider getting a flood insurance policy.
First and foremost, stay safe. Pay attention to local forecasts, heed evacuation notices from officials, and if necessary, follow the evacuation plan you prepared in advance and move quickly to higher ground. Your state or local government has a number of channels through which it communicates important updates. These could include food bank locations, safe places to take shelter, and other forms of assistance.
How Do I Recover From a Flood?
Make sure you don't return to your property until officials have said it is safe to do so. As you and your neighbors begin the recovery process, remember that everyone responds to tragedies in their own way. There are several resources available that can help you wrestle with a disaster's emotional toll.
How Do I Prepare for a Wildfire?
AIA encourages communities to think proactively about building smart and strong before a wildfire starts. Wildfires can occur anywhere in the country and at any time throughout the year, but your community is at a higher risk if it hasn't rained in a while or if it's particularly windy.
There are lots of resources out there to protect yourself and property, including fire-resistant building materials, evacuation planning assistance, and fire prevention tips. The National Institute of Building Sciences recently found that every $1 invested in wildfire mitigation saves $3 in rebuilding costs, so preparing now could make all the difference for you and your family.

First and foremost, stay safe. Wildfires can spread quickly and unpredictably, so it's important to follow any evacuation warnings in your area. Sign up for emergency alerts in your community and move quickly to a safe location.
Finally, while you are away from your home, keep track of all your recovery-related receipts and expenses, including those for meals and lodging – these may be covered under the "additional living expenses" portion of your insurance policy.
How Do I Recover From a Wildfire?
Make sure you don't return to your property until fire officials have said it is safe to do so. As you and your neighbors begin the recovery process, remember that everyone responds to tragedies in their own way. There are several resources available that can help you wrestle with a disaster's emotional toll.
As you begin cleaning up your property, make sure you follow public health guidance on safe clean-up procedures and wear heavy gloves and thick-soled shoes. Prepare a list of damaged property, and photograph or video damaged items and areas. Provide this list, with as much detail as you can, to your insurer or agent, so that they can process your claim as quickly as possible.
Finally, use this opportunity to rebuild stronger. Take advantage of preparation resources to make your home more fire-resistant, so you are ready for whatever comes your way next.

Q: Why are there so few Force sensitive Mandalorians? I noticed that there aren't many Mandalorian Force users. Is there something wrong with their genes or is it that the Star Wars creators just don't want Force sensitive Mandalorians? I know only a few noteworthy Mandalorian Force users, one of whom is Tarre Vizsla.

A: *

*Mandalorians are not a species but it is more of a philosophy. Anybody having this philosophy can join the Mandalorians.

*Mandalorians are not part of the Republic, they've even fought quite often against the Jedi. Jedi can therefore not test Mandalorians for Force-sensitivity. People may therefore be Force-sensitive without knowing it.

From the Wookieepedia article on Mandalorians:

Mandalorians were a predominantly human ethnolinguistic cultural group who originated on the planet Mandalore. Mandalorians had a particularly unique role in galactic history as legendary warriors against the Jedi, and could be commonly found not only on the Mandalorian homeworld and its moon, Concordia, but across Mandalorian Space and the galaxy at large on worlds such as Kalevala, Krownest, and Concord Dawn. Mandalore had a largely martial history, but by the time of the Clone Wars the pacifist and reformist New Mandalorian political faction controlled Mandalore's government, led by Duchess Satine Kryze. This led to internal conflict with other Mandalorian groups like Death Watch, who wanted to maintain the warrior ways of their Mandalorian heritage.
...
Their first confrontations with the Jedi Knights took the Mandalorians by surprise: their use of the Force and the powers it granted them was a challenge that they had never seen before. However, the prideful nature of the Mandalorians would not allow that disadvantage to stand, and the technologically advanced people began to devise ways to overcome the powers of the enigmatic Jedi. The result was a major advancement in the development of Mandalorian technology, specifically of their arsenal and their infamous armor. They also developed a fighting style that combined their entire arsenal and skills to allow them to counteract the Jedi's supernatural abilities. With these new technologies, the Mandalorians began to win their share of conflicts with the Jedi, and their warriors earned the reputation of being capable of confronting and defeating Jedi Knights.

It is not that Mandalorians are less Force-sensitive than other races but they are not tested. It is the same with the Outer Rim. You won't find a lot of Jedi being from there as they are not part of the Republic. In The Phantom Menace, they mention that Anakin would've been found earlier if he was born in the Republic. It's the same with Mandalorians.

A: if I remember right didn't the Jedi used to take the Mandalorian children who were Force sensitive and they stopped it because the people started saying they were stealing their children.


A trademark is usually defined as 'a word, name, symbol or device that is implemented planet trade of products to indicate the origin of the goods, and also to distinguish them from the products of other peoples'. A trademark is specific to goods: a service mark is the distinguishing word, name, symbol or device used to find specific corporations. However, the term 'trademark' typically used to mention to both trademarks and repair marks, as they are basically the same.
A trademark grants its owners the legal to be able to stop others from any mark that is similar back to their own. But trademarks is not to be used quit competing companies from producing or selling the same goods or services inside completely different trademark.
Clever business men often register their own trademarks with trademark officials in order to obtain a certified record of their rights to an individual spot. When a trademark is registered, the owner gains the legal right – although subject to some conditions – to prevent other companies from utilizing trademark without permission.
One on the main goals of any organization is to uphold quite reputation of the goods and services. Having a registered trademark can assist with this process: it serves to inform potential infringers of the intent of one's business to help keep its position within the market. If your trademark is properly secured and endorsed, the keyboard the possibility to be a worthwhile asset inside your company.
Every successful company has thought carefully all-around visibility and profiling of their business.
The business, trade, or company name is the name with which a company identifies itself. Bring name in the area used for purposes of company registration, taxation, financial reporting and government purchases. A company or business name does not contain any identifiers but the name itself.
Most company names aren't eligible for trademark registration due to the confusing similarities between associated with them. For a company name to be trademarked, it deserves to be distinct enough to be recognised utilizing companies during the marketplace.

When visitors to POHODA festival noticed a tent with the inscription Laundry, they looked on it was though it was a UFO. Looking on and equally surprised at seeing positive feedback was one of the authors of the project from Valaská, Ivan Mako.
A large white tent named Práčovňa, and just to play safe also named Laundry, seen for the first time at the POHODA festival was without doubt a surprise. Some young Roma were testing their promising pilot project of social enterprise that operates in the community centre in Valaská near Podbrezová.
The community laundry offers employment and provides a livelihood to 25 people in Valaská, regardless of origin. The Roma offer a model social operation also to the state. Mako says that if systemic social economy expanded social, hundreds of people, particularly in rural areas, would find employment.
"People at the festival looked at us as they would a UFO. They expect to see anything here, except for a laundry, "says Ivan Mako from the Association of Young Roma.
Jana Majchútová is not a Roma. This young 33-year-old was unable to find any work after maternity leave. She worked in the local forests and on part-time jobs. The worst time was in winter.
Then, through the activation work programme, she was sent to the community centre in Valaská. She did everything there from building work in the courtyard to tidying-up. After roughly a year, Ivan Mako made her the laundry manager with a permanent contract.
"Not really the manager, forewoman is a more accurate title" she corrected her boss, as she organizes and manages the work in the laundry and communicates with clients.
This is a woman who a year ago was drifting from agreement to agreement and has now sold this project at POHODA festival.
It is said that when the first visitors came and saw the laundry, the majority said "whaaaat?" And left. However, they later came back and had things washed.
"It was really great to see how the young people took to us. We did their laundry, chatted to them, had fun," said Jana Majchútová with undisguised enthusiasm.
The Ekopolis Foundation offered these young Roma the opportunity to present a positive story of the long-term unemployed from the Horehronie region to festival-goers. The Roma brought two washing machines, a dryer and a mangle and waited to see how the public would react.
For four days they washed and ironed clothing and ironed stickers on t-shirts. All for free. If anyone wanted to, they could do their own washing in a wooden trough, just like the girl who got the hem of her skirt dirty. If you wanted to make a contribution, you could; if you didn't want to, you didn't. It wasn't about the money.
Ivan says that they came to POHODA festival to show a functioning community project of social entrepreneurship, especially useful in rural areas. They also offer this to the state as a model of economic recovery in a sleeping community.
"We wanted to see in real-life how society perceives the services we provide in Valaská. POHODA festival showed that if you provide services at a standard level, society accepts them," said one of the project's authors.
These and similar projects could occur throughout Slovakia, Mako says. They can offer services which might not be financially attractive for commercial companies but which are needed by the market.
The laundry and ironing unit in the Horehronie Multifunctional Centre has been operating since last year. Through an e-marketplace the long-term unemployed, the disabled and marginalized have received business that enables them to earn a living. They work in two shifts.
"We are not interested in the colour of someone's skin, our doors are open to all who need jobs," said Mako.
With the help of funding and from foundations they virtually rebuilt the whole of the crumbling building and built the project on a simple philosophy. They do not want to take work from people in a poor region, but rather to bring it to Valaská from wealthier towns.
These young Roma have not thought up anything new, only imported a tried and tested model from abroad. They were in Belgium to learn where difficult to employ people work in laundries, horticulture and sorting used materials. For example, in Solingen, Germany, they produce handcuffs for police and shears used on sheep and earn enough to live decently and enable their children to go to school.

In recent years, charitable sales promotions have become an increasingly popular way for consumer products companies to support charitable causes while, at the same time, fostering commercial goodwill. Companies that may not have traditionally engaged in such promotions frequently are surprised to learn of the broad regulatory scheme which applies to solicitations that raise funds, directly or indirectly, for charitable organizations.
Currently, over 40 states and the District of Columbia have charitable solicitation statutes. These laws cover a wide range of "solicitation" activities - including charitable sales promotions - and can subject violators to significant fines and even criminal penalties. Many require companies making charitable solicitations to include certain terms in the contract with the charitable organization; to make written disclosures in advertising; to file documents with state regulators before and after the solicitation; to consent to jurisdiction in states where the solicitation is made; and to retain fiscal and solicitation-related records. Thus, any company planning to run a charitable sales promotion should, sufficiently in advance of any solicitation, evaluate the extent to which the promotion will implicate charitable solicitation laws and take steps to ensure compliance.
Generally, a "charitable sales promotion" is an advertising or sales campaign which represents that the purchase or use of goods, services or any other thing of value will benefit a charitable organization or purpose. A "charitable organization" generally means a tax-exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or one that purports to be established for a charitable ( e.g. , benevolent, educational, eleemosynary, public health, humane, patriotic, philanthropic, religious) purpose or employs a charitable appeal as the basis of a solicitation. Charitable sales promotions can be structured in countless ways and may, for example, take the form of an in-store promotion, a direct mail coupon program or a solicitation made on packaging or on a web site. For example, a sponsoring company might advertise that it will donate a certain portion of the proceeds of a purchase to a charitable organization, that it will donate "X" dollars to a charitable organization for every "Y" items purchased, or that for every item purchased and minimum amount contributed by the consumer the sponsor will make a donation to a charitable organization. These types of promotions and the solicitations made in connection with them are regulated, not only by general laws and regulations applicable to advertising, but under charitable solicitation laws.
Charitable solicitation statutes impose significant registration obligations on charitable organizations as well as on "fundraising counsel" and "professional fund raisers/solicitors." The term fundraising counsel often covers those who, "for compensation, manage, advise or consult" with respect to a charitable solicitation. Professional fund raisers/solicitors often are defined as those who, "for pay," "for financial consideration" or "for compensation" solicit, or employ someone to solicit, contributions for a charitable organization. Fundraising counsel and professional fund raisers/solicitors typically are required to register annually and post a bond in states where solicitations will be made, make disclosures with solicitations, have a written contract with the charitable organization and file it with the state, maintain financial records and report to the charitable organization and the state. Thus, an important threshold consideration for regulators is whether the person making the charitable solicitation is paid or "compensated" in exchange for his or her efforts.
Approximately twenty-two charitable solicitation statutes regulate charitable solicitations made by "commercial coventurers." 1 Generally, a commercial coventurer is a person who "for profit or other consideration is regularly and primarily engaged in commerce other than in connection with soliciting for a charitable organization" and who conducts a charitable sales promotion. In most of these states, 2 commercial coventurers are not required to register annually or to post a bond, which is welcome news for those conducting charitable sales promotions.
However, it is important for sponsoring companies to consider that some states without a specific definition for "commercial coventurer" have attempted to regulate charitable sales promotions in any event - by interpreting other statutory definitions such as "professional fund raiser" very broadly. For example, a "professional fund raiser" is defined in some states as one who solicits for compensation "or other consideration." Regulators in some of these states ( e.g. , Rhode Island, North Dakota, West Virginia) have informally advised that sales promotions necessarily result in a certain amount of goodwill being afforded to the sponsoring company. They noted that consumers often have a propensity to make a purchase if it will benefit a charitable organization, resulting in increased sales and goodwill to the sponsoring company. These benefits, the regulators contend, can constitute "other consideration" and render the sponsoring company a "professional fund raiser/solicitor" subject to registration, bonding and other requirements. Other states with "other consideration" as part of their definitions of professional fund raiser/solicitor have exceptions for when the sponsoring company benefits in goodwill only ( e.g. , Michigan, Illinois) or where the charity, not the commercial coventurer, supervises and controls the collection and distribution of solicited funds ( e.g. , Alabama, Massachusetts).
Generally speaking, sponsoring companies often face the following kinds of statutory obligations: (1) enter into a written contract containing mandatory terms with the charitable organization; (2) register annually and post a bond in some states; (3) file the contract with the charitable organization prior to the solicitation; (4) file other solicitation-related documents with the state; (5) make written disclosures in advertising and promotional materials; and (6) retain records of solicitation activities. A general discussion of these obligations follows.
If applicable, a provision for a final accounting on a per unit basis to be given by the commercial coventurer to the charitable organization and the date by which it will be made.
Statement that contract is subject to the requirements of Georgia Code, Sec. 43-17 and New Hampshire Code Sec. 7:28-d.
Statement of the financial arrangement including, if applicable, a statement of the percentage of the total funds collected to be paid to a professional fundraiser or any other person for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the charitable organization.
Provision that within 5 days of receipt all funds received from the solicitation shall be deposited in a bank account in the sole name of the charitable organization or shall be delivered to the charitable organization for deposit.
Name and residence address of each person directing or supervising the solicitation activities.
Name, address and telephone number of the commercial coventurer and the charitable organization.
Registration and Bonding . Sponsoring companies considered to be "commercial coventurers" may be required to register with state authorities in a handful of states ( e.g. , Alabama, Maine, Massachusetts, Washington) before making a charitable solicitation. As noted above, depending on the structure of the promotion, such companies may also be treated as "professional fund raisers/solicitors" and be required to register in additional states ( e.g. , Rhode Island, North Dakota, West Virginia).
Registration must be done sufficiently in advance to allow time for approval by the state before a promotion begins. Typically, there is a registration fee (usually less than $250). The sponsoring company may also be required to post a bond ( e.g. , up to $25,000) before commencing the solicitation. Many states make their registration and bonding forms available online. In most instances, states requiring registration will request a description of the promotion, the start and end dates, a copy of the contract with the charitable organization, evidence of other charitable activities the commercial coventurer is conducting in the state, and corporate information such as lists of officers and a copy of the company's articles of incorporation.
Contract Filing Requirements . Several states require commercial coventurers to file with the state a copy of the written contract with the charitable organization relating to the promotion. 3 Some require the contract to be filed within a certain time period before the charitable solicitation is made ( e.g. , at least 15 days before the solicitation in Alabama and at least 10 days before in South Carolina), or a within certain number of days after the contract is signed ( e.g. , within 10 days after execution in Alabama and Massachusetts).
Additional Filing Obligations . Charitable solicitation statutes in Alabama and Maine require commercial coventurers to file a closing statement and an annual report, respectively. In Illinois, if an entity will hold funds for the benefit of a charity, it is required by the Charitable Trusts Act to register as a charitable trust and file an annual financial report. Several states ( e.g. , Hawaii, Louisiana, Ohio, Oregon) require a commercial coventurer to provide a final accounting of the charitable sales promotion to the charitable organization or to state authorities within a certain number of days (usually 10 or 20) upon request. New York, on the other hand, requires that the accounting be provided within ninety (90) days after the promotion ends, regardless of whether the charity or the state requests an accounting. Several states require the commercial coventurer to provide fiscal or sales records of the promotion to state authorities upon request.
Required Disclosures . Many charitable solicitation statutes require commercial coventurers or any person making a charitable "solicitation" to include certain disclosures in advertising or at the point of solicitation. In many states, the disclosure must state the dollar amount or percentage of the sales price, gross proceeds or other consideration (on a per unit basis where applicable) that will benefit the charitable organization or charitable purpose. Some states require the name, address and phone number of the charity to be disclosed ( e.g. , Florida, Massachusetts). Maine requires the commercial coventurer to state that it is a "professional charitable fundraiser." In New York, solicitations must include a statement of the consumer's right to request information from the New York Attorney General's Office, provide an address where requests can be sent and identify the nature of the programs and activities the charitable funds will support. Additional specific disclosures are required to be made in a number of states on "containers" soliciting charitable contributions in a public place. Additional disclosures required to be made by charitable organizations, professional fundraisers and solicitors may also have to be included with a solicitation made in a charitable sales promotion.
Record Retention Obligations . Finally, one of the most commonly imposed obligations on commercial coventurers is that of retaining records of charitable solicitation activities. The commercial coventurer must retain records relating to all solicitation activities for at least three (3) years after the solicitation ends ( e.g. , Maine, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, Washington) and final accounting records for at least three (3) years after the final accounting date in several additional states ( e.g. , Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Utah). New York law requires the commercial coventurer to retain the contract with the charity for at least three (3) years after the solicitation ends. State regulators in Alabama and Arkansas may request an inspection of the records required to be retained by the commercial coventurer.
In view of the extensive obligations charitable solicitation laws impose on commercial coventurers, the fact intensive nature of such laws and differing treatment afforded from state to state, consumer products companies planning to conduct charitable sales promotions should give careful consideration, well in advance of any solicitation, to the structure and scope of the contemplated promotion. This will facilitate compliance efforts and contribute to a successful sales promotion which not only benefits a charitable organization - but maintains public confidence and trust.

Landsknecht in "The Witcher 1"
Ein Söldner ist eine Person, die zum eigenen ökonomischen Vorteil in einen bewaffneten Konflikt zieht, für Geld oder andere materielle Vorteile.
Condottieri (singular condottiero and condottiere) are not just mercenaries, but the leaders of groups of professional military "Freie Kompanie". In the Witcher saga, king Esterad Thyssen of Kovir und Poviss released some political prisoners formerly known as the "Räudige Kater" on the condition that they support the efforts to push back the Nilfgaardian invasion at the battles of Mayena und Brenna.
In the module, there is a mercenary, Sergeant Orel in the Haarigen Bären and 2 single mercenaries near the Kloaken.
In the game you can find Haudegen von Cinfrid in the Foltest's army camp in the prologue and Adam Pangratt and his men in the Kaedweni one in Chapter II (Roches-Pfad).
