Removal of physical distancing in the classroom
This story was posted 1 year ago
in Education, Health, PRESS RELEASE
Dr Shawn Charles
A Message from the Office of Chief Medical Officer, Dr Shawn Charles, on the removal of physical distancing in the classroom.
Given the fact that there is currently no community transmission of Covid-19 in Grenada, there is no justification for not allowing children to return to the classroom as normal. A return to normal distance for school children in this setting will not carry additional risk.
The focus at this time should be on educating everyone, and staff and students, adhering to the recommended hygienic measures, which include mask wearing and sanitisation. Since research has shown that staff will be the most likely source of infection for other staff members, attention should be given to ensuring their compliance with the health protocols.
The justification for the return to normal distancing at schools is outlined below:
The World Health Organisation (WHO) provided a summary of research on Covid-19 in children and in schools as outlined below:
Infection in children generally causes mild disease. Serious illness due to Covid-19 is seen only infrequently. Young children seem to have lower susceptibility to infection compared to adults, with susceptibility generally increasing with age.
Current evidence from contact tracing and cluster investigations also suggests that children are less likely than adults to be the main transmitters of infection.
Studies in educational settings suggest that the introduction of the virus generally started with infected adults. Staff-to-staff transmission was more common than staff-to-student transmission and student-to-student transmission was rare.
A clear causal role for schools in community resurgence has currently not been demonstrated.
Overall, most evidence from countries that have reopened schools or never closed them suggests that schools have not been associated with significant increases in community transmission.
Risk of an outbreak in schools and other settings where young people congregate is determined in large part by the background community transmission and settings-linked risk amplifiers.
As it relates to the State of Grenada:
Grenada's current epidemiological status with regards to Covid-19 remains safe, despite there being one or more cases that are imported. There is no evidence of community spread of the disease.
The Ministry of Health continues to have good control over the introduction of Covid-19 in Grenada through the aggressive implementation of public health control measures. Therefore, in this situation, schools are allowed to open (or re-open) at normal capacity.
According to UNICEF, the adverse effects of school closures on children's safety, well-being and learning are well documented. Disruptions to instructional time in the classroom can have a severe impact on a child's ability to learn.
Schools are not merely centres for learning. They are also safe havens for many children. Being out of school also increases the risk of teenage pregnancy, sexual exploitation, violence and other threats.

ValanG says:
My question is: What percentage, and actual figures are available statistically to show the relationship of children, youths, adults and seniors being infected, died and recovered on a monthly basis worldwide? Until these figures are available from the onset of the pandemic especially from the countries that are most affected and have high population I maintain that the high death rate among seniors is a 'genocide' of the seniors.

Therese says:
Removing social distancing from schools and you have so called tourist with COVID-19 roaming everywhere..what happened to the days when Grenadains survived without mass tourism.. These so called tourists come from America and other countries where the virus is spreading rapidly. British, American and Canadian visited should not be allowed to self quarantine..

Cal sweeps Arizona schools in final home meets
By Karan Karia | Staff
In perhaps its strongest weekend of the year, the Cal women's swim team shut down No. 5 Arizona and No. 24 Arizona State in its final home meets of the season.
It was the last time the eight seniors on the team would compete at the Spieker Aquatics Complex, and they were recognized before the event.
"Before the meet, we talked to the players about racing for their senior teammates," associate head coach Kristen Cunnane said. "It was really great to see them get recognized."
Indeed, it was quite a sight as friends, family and fans cheered on the seniors from both the men's and women's teams, and the band made a rare appearance at Spieker.
The No. 2 Bears competitively swam for the first time in approximately five weeks but showed that they did not need any time to get back to their top form. They came out with a great performance Friday against Arizona (8-2, 2-2 Pac-12), winning 174-126. The team built upon that momentum the next day against Arizona State (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12), winning easily 169-114.
This dual meet was supposed to be a great test for the squad, but the Bears showed that they are a tough team to hang with. They beat the Wildcats thoroughly before bringing a similar performance the next day against the Sun Devils.
"At this point, after the long break, we really want to build on our experience of racing," Cunnane said. "We are going to try and take this momentum forward."
The eight seniors — Alissa Barker, Ursula Dailey, Colleen Fotsch, Shelley Harper, Molly Hayes, Sara Isakovic, Liv Jensen and Katherine Raatz — were showcased throughout the matchup against Arizona State and delivered with their performances.
Isakovic, Fotsch, Jensen and Raatz made up a team that won the 200-free relay. Jensen won three total events on the day. Isakovic and Harper also won individual events.
The wins against ranked opponents enable Cal to leave Speiker on a high note before heading into its road meets. However, the team recognizes that there are areas it still needs to improve on, such as winning in many different areas.
This weekend, it certainly seemed like they had accomplished that against Arizona State, as four different seniors won events, and the Bears won 11 of the total 16.
Going forward, Cal will face a pair of southern California teams, taking on UCLA and USC this weekend in Los Angeles. They will have a chance to continue their excellent performance against teams with great lineups.
"These are both great teams who have great individual swimmers," Cunnane said. "It will be a good test for us."
As of now, the Bears have shifted their focus from a Hawaiian vacation spent trying to regroup over winter break to a great performance against very competent teams. They will hit the road for the rest of the season, looking to finish with similar results.
Cal women's swim, Kristen Cunnane

Sweden landed on third place in the latest 'The Good Country Index'.
The top spot goes to Finland in the list which was released midweek, with Ireland nabbing second place. Sweden has been bumped down two places from last time the list was published, having placed first in 2017.
The index looks at a variety of factors to a country's contributions and "tries to measure how much each country on earth contributes to the planet and to the human race, relative to its size (measured in GDP)".
This is done through 35 different parameters in the different categories science and technology, culture, peace and security, world order, planet and climate, prosperity and equality, and finally in health and wellbeing, to determine which countries do the most 'good' in the world.
The area in which Sweden scored the highest is health and wellbeing, which includes such parameters as pharmaceutical export, and humanitarian and food aid. In contrast, Sweden's worst performance is in peace and security efforts. An area in which Ireland scored the highest of all 153 countries included on the list.
Finland scored highest in the world in the fields of scientific publication export, patent requests, freedom of press and movement, cyber security, free trade and in adhering to stipulated environmental agreements. Denmark also ranked high on the list, coming in at fifth place after Germany.
'The Good Country Index' encourages a little competition between countries, but more importantly it strives to provide ideas and blueprints for how a country can go about doing good."You often end up doing better work domestically because you are drawing inspiration and experience from other countries" Simon Anholt, who founded the index in 2014, says.

'Always a top target': Colorado Rapids draft pick Andre Shinyashiki pays dividends

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — During the 2018 NCAA men's soccer season, University of Denver striker Andre Shinyashiki was widely regarded as the top forward in collegiate soccer.
"All he needs is one second, one moment to change a game," DU head coach Jaime Franks said back in November.
Four months later, Shinyashiki is still getting it done, this time as a professional. The Colorado Rapids' first-round draft pick made an immediate impact in his MLS debut, scoring an equalizer at the death to salvage a point for the 10-men Rapids in a Colorado snowstorm Saturday.
"There's nothing more a guy like me can dream of," Shinyashiki told ProSoccerUSA. "Obviously, you want to try to win, but given the conditions that we were in, it was still a positive result."
Rapids coach Anthony Hudson was likewise impressed by the goal, and the fact that his team salvaged a point despite the odds stacked against them.
"There's not many places in the world where you're going to play a game like that," Hudson said. "We've definitely added quality and strong characters and that was the key."
In a busy offseason, Colorado added proven veterans like Kei Kamara, Diego Rubio and Benny Feilhaber. But moving up in the draft to land Shinyashiki is another move that Hudson cited as key to his team's transformation this season.
"He was always a top target," Hudson explained. "Everyone had told me how good he was and then we watched him play at the combine and were really impressed. I'd seen enough at the combine. We saw his movement, his mentality and his touches. Then we met him there and saw that he was a brilliant character. For me, it was like a big signing. We wanted him in the first team this year."
Despite previous experience playing for the Rapids U-23 side, the idea of being drafted was never a guarantee for Shinyashiki. Like any other draftee, the process involved a lot of anxiety and unknowns.
"I definitely knew of the interest, but it was still up in the air," he remembers "I didn't know they were going to trade to get me. There were rumors, but I didn't know until they said my name. [Colorado] was a place I wanted to come to really badly, so I was happy when it happened."
Born and raised in Brazil, soccer has always been a part of Shinyashiki's life.
"I grew up in Brazil playing in the streets like a typical Brazilian does," he said. "To say every boy in Brazil grows up wanting to be a professional soccer player is a very accurate statement. Very few make it so I'm just extremely blessed and thankful to be here."
As a young man, his life still revolves around the game. At DU he studied marketing with the hopes of entering sports marketing after he hangs up his boots. In his spare time, he watches soccer and plays FIFA.
The idea of living and breathing the sport is something that Hudson is looking for in a young player.
"There are certain characteristics we want for our young players," Hudson explained. "Technically, they've got to be good on the ball. Character is the big part. You want strong characters in terms of wanting to win. The game means everything to them. Open to criticism, wants to improve, bounces back from setbacks. All of those things."
In Shinyashiki, he's seen it first-hand.
"When you look at Andre on the training ground, he gets disappointed when he doesn't win," Hudson continued. "He's not afraid of senior players. He's not afraid to express himself on the pitch or stand his ground in some meetings. He'll say something and ask a question, which is a good sign rather than someone who nods and agrees. That's why we have a lot of trust in him."
He's gotten his professional goal out of the way, but the 22-year-old know that there's still plenty of work ahead, not just for this season, but for his career. For now, he's ready to absorb all the information he can, while putting his head down to do the work required to be successful in MLS.
"I just want to help the team as much as I can," Shinyashiki said. "As a forward, you're always looking to score goals and get assists, but it's also about pressing hard and helping the guys behind me. To make the playoffs is our first goal and ultimately win everything. But it's a day by day approach you have to have in order to accomplish those things."

Q: Charts/graphs in Access VBA How to initialize a chart with data in MS Access VBA? Eventually I found a suggestion here which with a bit of modification kept intellisense happy and resulted in this code:
Dim objchart As Chart

Dim arrData(3, 1) As Double

arrData(0, 0) = 1
arrData(1, 0) = 1
arrData(2, 0) = 1
arrData(3, 0) = 1

arrData(0, 1) = 1
arrData(1, 1) = 1
arrData(2, 1) = 1
arrData(3, 1) = 1

Set objchart = Me.Chart1

With objchart
    .ChartTitle = "test"
    .ChartType = acChartLine
    .ChartValues = arrData
End With

But this throws

Compile error: Type mismatch

on the line
    .ChartValues = arrData

I have tried it as "row-first" (arrData(1, 3)) and also just passing in a single array (arrData(3)). These both result in the same type mismatch error. While the intellisense is telling me that Chart1 exists, and that .ChartValues is a valid field, it doesn't tell me what kind of object it is expecting. I have googled extensively on this and come up empty. The best references I could find for Access VBA were Building VBA Apps and this but neither go into detail on Charts or ChartObjects.
Obviously I'd like to get past this type mismatch error. Even better would be if someone can give me some general advice on how to go about this when the closest thing to a language reference is silent on the part of the language you need.

A: This is one way to do it. First, create a new table and add some data:
Private Sub Form_Load()

  Dim db As DAO.Database
  Dim rec As Recordset
  Dim tbl As DAO.TableDef

  Set db = CurrentDb
  Set tbl = db.CreateTableDef("tbl")

  With tbl
    .Fields.Append .CreateField("first", dbInteger)
    .Fields.Append .CreateField("second", dbInteger)
  End With

  db.TableDefs.Append tbl
  db.TableDefs.Refresh

  Set rec = db.OpenRecordset("tbl")

  rec.AddNew
  rec("first").Value = 0
  rec("second").Value = 2
  rec.Update

  rec.AddNew
  rec("first").Value = 1
  rec("second").Value = 2
  rec.Update

  rec.AddNew
  rec("first").Value = 2
  rec("second").Value = 2
  rec.Update

  rec.AddNew
  rec("first").Value = 3
  rec("second").Value = 2
  rec.Update

  Set rec = Nothing
  Set db = Nothing

End Sub

Second, graph that data by referencing the new table:
Private Sub command0_click()

  Dim objchart As Chart
  Set objchart = Me.Chart1

  With objchart
    .ChartTitle = "tbl: second ~ first"
    .RowSource = "tbl"
    .ChartAxis = "first"
    .ChartValues = "second"
  End With

End Sub

Starring: Ray Danton, Sharon Acker, Lawrence Dane, Donnelly Rhodes, Gay Rowan, Franz Russell, Linda Sorensen.
Apparently Our Man Flint: Dead On Target hasn't been shown for 27 years. The rumours are that it was buried because it was such a stinker. It isn't quite as bad as people make out. The problem with it though is the writer Norman Klenman (and the director for that matter) don't appear to have watched a Coburn Flint movie – or at the very least have little respect for the source material. For example: Coburn Flint would never carry a gun – he'd consider it crude. But Danton Flint kicks down doors armed with a cannon even Dirty Harry would be proud of.
What I don't understand is why you would take the character of 'Derek Flint' and take away all the attributes and trappings that make Flint, Flint. (I am talking about the globe hopping high living, gourmet dining, pursuit of arts, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls etc…) Danton's lifestyle seems to be very much within the grasp of you or me. Whereas Coburn Flint lived a life that I for one envied.
More rumour mongering (cos I don't know if it is true), but it is said that a third Flint film was in the works in the late sixties, called 'Flintlock' and a script had been prepared by Hal Fimberg, writer of the first two films. If this is true, why wouldn't you recycle or adapt that script for Danton? The script that was used, shows nothing but contempt for the fans of the original films. Here's a bit of a rundown.
The film opens with a small cow-catcher set in San Francisco, and in particular, the offices of Southern Hemisphere Oilco. Wendle Runsler, the President of the company is handed a cup of coffee by his assistant, Ms. Carter. The cup doesn't only hold coffee, Carter has also thrown a tablet into the mix. Runsler passes out and is spirited away in a filing cabinet by two burly goons.
Then we have the title sequence. The credits run over a colourful animated background – I use the word 'animated' loosely because there is not much movement. Gone too is the Jerry Goldsmith score. In its place is a fat chunk of 70's funk. To be honest the music in general isn't too bad, but it doesn't replace Goldsmith's original title tune which you expect to hear.
Southern Hemisphere Oilco isn't happy about the kidnapping of their President and acquire the services of Derek Flint as an intermediary for the release. The villains of the piece are a shady outfit called B.E.S.L.A. (Ba-El-Sol Liberation Army). Ba-El-Sol is a fictitious Arabian country that has a wealth of oil. Guess which company has the oil concessions? Anyway B.E.S.L.A. has kidnapped Runsler. They want the usual type of political demands met: leader released from captivity, corrupt political leaders to resign, and two million dollars.
Flint receives his instructions and returns to his home. He heads home because an alarm has gone off on his watch. As I hinted at earlier, it is far from the stylish pad that Coburn had. Apart from some garish plum coloured carpet, his home seems rather normal. Back to the break-in. It is not Flint's enemies who have perpetrated this home invasion, but a young woman named Benita Rogers. She wants to work for Flint – be his apprentice. Without giving away the highlights of the film, as they are few and far between, what follows is a mildly amusing scene, featuring a pair of handcuffs. For a brief second it appears that Mr. Flint's charm and style have returned, but no – it's an anomaly.
Soon after Flint is clubbed unconscious and taken to B.E.S.L.A. They re-iterate their demands and Flint is allowed to see that Runsler is still alive. Flint is knocked out once more and returned home.
Next Benita contacts B.E.S.L.A. saying she wants to join their movement. A meeting is arranged and she is taken away. Flint tails her. The tracking device in his car is a particularly noisy orange light that flickers on and off. Flint loses the signal and Benita becomes another hostage.
Time has been kind to this film. In the mid 70's when it was released it may have been seen as a sloppy TV movie (which it is). But now 30 years later, it is a time capsule. It's fun to watch the giant box like cars, listen the funky sounds and ogle at the goofy fashions…speaking of which, in Australia we have a group of children's entertainers called The Wiggles. Apparently they are a world-wide success these days, so if you have kids, you probably know who I am talking about. For the rest of you, The Wiggles are four male singers/dancers who are coded with bright candy coloured skivvies. There is a Blue, Red, Purple and a Yellow Wiggle. Unfortunately, Ray Danton gets lumbered with a yellow skivvy for the last third of the movie – and sorry I cannot take any hero seriously who just may burst into song with Dorothy The Dinosaur at any moment.
Before I sign off, I suppose a word or two about Danton is in order. He is a little more paunchy than in his Eurospy efforts (but maybe forgivable as 10 years had passed), but he does seem decidedly uncomfortable in this role. He doesn't seem to know how to play it. I guess times had changed. In the mid 70's 'camp' was out and the quasi futurism of The Six Million Dollar Man was in. And maybe that explains the whole tone of the film. So Danton walks through the role, not sure of whether to smile or scowl.
Of the Danton spy films I have looked at, this is easily the weakest, but as a curio for the Flint fans it probably is a must-see. Burying it for nearly 30 years has probably only increased it's status as desirable viewing. (I felt that I 'had' to watch it!) So if you're one of them, whatever I say will have no effect – you'll have to watch it. Others with little or no allegiance to the Coburn Flint films can safely skip this item.
"Dead On Target" is a throw-in for the DVD of "In Like Flint". Although everything about it is Grade Z, it will be enjoyed by anyone who lived in Vancouver, Canada in the 70's. The very first scene will seize their attention because it has the viewer looking down from a helicopter upon the West End, with the North Shore Mountains in the distance on a perfect day. See it just for the location shots. Not one minute was filmed in studio. As it is clearly wintertime and it never rains on camera, it must have been a very quickly filmed movie. The music is really very good (and sadly uncredited) while the credit roll is the worst ever seen. Allow enough time after viewing the "In Like Flint" main feature, because "Target" runs rather long. And keep your sense of humour.


These guidelines are intended to be your first port of call when you are preparing your CV and portfolio for prospective interviews. Use them as a general guide when you are beginning your job search. You can always seek additional support and specific advice from the experts at RIBA Appointments.
Your CV and your portfolio are your primary marketing tools for yourself and your career. Your CV may well be the first representation of you that a potential employer receives. In an interview, your portfolio will be the illustration of your career, your experience and your expertise. Your goal is to make a positive impression.
You are telling the story of your career. So, remember to focus on development and success. Consider your strengths and weaknesses, and describe or illustrate your strengths.
Consider every word that you use and why you are using it. Make sure it has a place and purpose that will help towards presenting you in a positive light.
Success may come in many forms – be prepared to describe it: think beyond simply producing the project on time and on budget. Did you save the practice money? Did you research and use innovative materials? Did you persuade the client against a design catastrophe to a more considered approach? Did you educate the client from a tired formulaic design to a more creative solution? Be prepared to illustrate how this benefited the business, such as saving money, winning business, gaining positive client feedback.
Be sure to be clear about the specific role that you had on a project; what was its scope and your particular input? For example, describe whether you lead the project, or had joint responsibilities for certain aspects, or you took instruction but worked independently on part of the project.
Outline what additional skills you demonstrated on projects, for example, problem solving, communication skills, meeting deadlines, organisation and planning, prioritisation, self-motivation. Take some time to decide how you will evidence these skills.
Don't forget to mention any management or leadership experience you may have. As well as personal skills and achievements, consider whether the role to which you are applying may require you to manage or supervise others, and how you can demonstrate those skills.
Along with your academic and professional qualifications, include registration numbers, such as ARB, so that these can be checked.
Make sure you research the company to which you are applying. You can then tailor your application to show relevance and genuine interest in the type of work and projects that they carry out.
Whilst you may prepare a general all-purpose CV, do try and personalise it to the actual role, and any job description and person specification that is available. Align any specific skills and experience you possess to the requirements of the role.
Prepare this in Word or PDF format separately from your portfolio. Be sure to read the job advertisement to check if any specific instructions have been given regarding the application. It wouldn't do to fall at this first hurdle and your application discarded because clear guidelines for application have not been followed.
Keep it focussed and no longer than 2 A4 pages.
Use black text and simple fonts, on a white background.
Begin by a clear and simple personal profile, stating your level of qualification, credentials and what sort of role you are seeking.
List your experience first, beginning with the most recent and including dates, including months and years.
If there are recent gaps, state a simple explanation, such as, '6 months travelling in Eastern Europe' or 'carried out voluntary work whilst seeking employment'. Unexplained gaps may put off the person reading your CV.
List your education and qualifications – the specific course taken and the educational institution.
Be sure to include any awards that you have won, since these are likely to enhance your qualifications and the perception of your skills.
Set down your particular skills and proficiency, particularly in software packages. Be honest about your level of expertise because this may be tested as part of the interview process. Be sure to include other relevant skills such as hand drawing, or model-making.
Offer references or list them if you still have space on your CV. References should cover your most recent employer and should be your immediate manager, as opposed to a work colleague.
Ask someone else to read your CV and seek their feedback.
This should be prepared so that it can be submitted separately from your CV.
Use illustrations of projects that you have actually worked on.
Focus on the particular parts of the project on which you worked yourself.
Try to demonstrate your specific skills, for example, where you solved a design problem, or where you solved a technical issue. Try not to include images of a project simply because you like them – they need a purpose for being in your portfolio.
Offer images in a variety of media and formats, e.g. hand drawings, perspectives, plans, 3D, photographs.
Resist the temptation to provide images of every stage of your career. Focus on the most recent projects on which you have worked. This should particularly be the case if you have already had a long career. Prospective employers will want to know where you are now.
Create a focused narrative for each image including what skills it is intended to demonstrate.
Set the images down in chronological order to reflect your CV.
You may have to email your portfolio, so use a simple format such as PDF and try to keep the file under 5MB, otherwise it may not get through the server of the potential employer.
Prepare a maximum of 5 – 10 pages.


Bitcoin Satoshi Vision [BSV], currently the fourteenth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, continues to be one of the most controversial topics in the cryptocurrency space even as #delistBSV gains momentum. Since Binance announced that the coin would no longer be a part of the platform, several other exchanges have taken the same decision, with the latest announcement coming in from Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange platform.
The move of several leading exchange platforms ousting a single coin has led to several members in the community raising questions on censorship and the extent of control centralized exchanges have on the cryptocurrency market. While several influencers agreed on the impact centralized exchanges have on the market, several others have also defended the stance taken by these exchanges.
Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of Ethereum and the CEO of IOHK, also spoke about the #delistBSV trend on his social media handle. Hoskinson stated that cryptocurrency exchanges are "not public utilities", adding that they were business that was "often run by private owners". He further stated that if anyone wanted a "utility", then it's better off to use a decentralized exchange/ DEX.
Changpeang Zhao, the co-founder and CEO of Binance, also joined in on the censorship accusations. A Twitter user, Warbout, had accused Binance of "subverting natural selection", adding that the platform would be recognized for being corrupt.
There are plenty of other exchanges out there. We don't make decisions for other exchanges. Our decision is part of the natural selection process, so is yours. We are just a small part of the community, who are super supportive of our decision.

It's time for the Southern Academic Librarian's annual meeting and this year it's being held in Charlie Harris's home town of Athena. As a librarian himself, and currently the acting director of the Athena College library Charlie is called upon not only to assist with the program but to speak himself. Generally the most genial of guys, Charlie is less than thrilled to learn someone from his past, Gavin Fong, is not only attending, but a keynote speaker. He is even more troubled by the nemesis from his past when Gavin writes to Charlie that he has applied for the Director position at Athena College and worse, that he expects Charlie to say good things about him to get the job. From their shared history Charlie knows that Gavin is the last person the college wants to hire, however Charlie has an additional conflict—he has been considering applying for the job himself. When Gavin arrives he turns out to be even nastier and more disruptive than Charlie anticipated. So much so that after Gavin provokes him, Charlie hauls off and decks the other man.
But it seems Charlie isn't the only one who has a less than happy history with Gavin. In fact, almost every attendee at the conference has had a run in with the pompous man. When he ends up dead at the start of his keynote speech it seems almost every person there had a reason to kill him and, a viable suspect. Can Charlie find the killer before another murder is committed?
I've said this before, but it bears saying again, I love this series. There is so much to recommend it that it's hard to pick one or two elements to share. First and foremost are the characters themselves and most especially Diesel the "cat in the stacks". James totally and completely captures the "catitude" that just about all felines possess. Readers who live with cats can tell you that Charlie's interactions with Diesel are spot on. In each book the characters grow and develop on a realistic time line. As well, Charlie's approach to finding the killer in each book is well paced and realistic. Quirky characters are one of the trademarks of a good cozy and James nicely balances the "quirk" with realistic aspects of human nature.
While James does follow the "cozy formula" he does one thing that this reader (as well as other fans) appreciates and that is that he hasn't introduced the "love triangle." Over and over it seems cozy authors are including love triangles that leave readers, myself included, feeling that if we wanted to read a romance we'd pick one up. James sticks with a solid core group of characters who each grown and develop in their own way without the unneeded detour into a chik-litish romance. There is romance, but the couples remain steady within their relationships, adding new dimensions with each read.
In his latest, TWELVE ANGRY LIBRARIANS James takes his readers into the world of the academic librarian and what someone in that position deals with on a daily, monthly and annual basis. The mystery is well thought out with just the right amount of well-placed red-herrings. I was right about who the killer was, but I did have the wrong reason. That is one of the elements that make these stories so great to read.
Each book in the series is a standalone and James gives just enough back story so you do not feel lost if you miss one. Thing is, each story is so good you don't want to miss a one.

Meet SoGoConnect: The Basics
by Melissa Krut
Estimated Reading Time : 3 mins
Don't get us wrong – we totally love feedback.
What we don't love, though, is feedback that's disregarded, second-guessed, or just totally ignored. Why bother asking questions or seeking feedback if you're not going to do anything with the responses?
By now, you get it: You need to close the loop. Still, a ticketing system can sometimes seem a little impersonal.
What's next? Meet SoGoConnect.
How does it start? Dialogue.
Dialogue begins anywhere – a survey response, a website form, or even – imagine! – in real life. Someone in your community – customer, employee, vendor – has feedback – question, concern, suggestion – and that message kicks off the flow.
A key question here: Should people be able to send in messages without sharing their contact details? You decide. It's true that anonymity can empower more candid feedback, but those who share contact details can – and should – expect a direct response. You may choose to allow completely anonymous submissions, but then you won't be able to follow up directly. Want the best of both worlds? Enable responses but hide identities by allowing Hidden Customer submissions.
Once the message is submitted, an automatic confirmation message is displayed and a follow-up email is sent – if an email address was provided. This helps to set expectations about what's up next.
Who's On First?
Once the message comes in, the clock is ticking. Whether or not a response is expected – or possible – it's important to get the message to the right team/individual as quickly as possible.
While your customer might have easily sent a message to the wrong area, if that message comes to you, you own it. At the very least, you own getting it to the right team. Reassign that message, then sit back.
If it comes to you, do something! If you need to have an internal conversation before you follow up, add other people to the message so they can weigh in as needed. Share attachments, make decisions – whatever you need to do before you respond, avoiding too much back-and-forth with your customer.
If the submission is anonymous, share the message with the right people on your team, and maybe mark the content for inclusion in your next FAQ or blog post. Close it up, and move on.
If it's a Hidden Customer submission, you can hit reply, sending a message back to – well, whoever!
If email address and/or phone number were included, you can reply or call back, even scheduling an in-person meeting or other follow-up.
But Is That It?
When replying, you have a few options.
If you're just letting the customer know that you're still working on it – totally reasonable – you can send your reply as In Progress. The clock's still ticking, but it makes sense to provide reassurance and an updated timeline, if needed.
In some cases, you need more information to be able to respond appropriately. For example, if a customer has feedback about a bus that was late or a support team member who was extremely helpful but they don't tell you which bus or which team member, it's hard to follow up. Respond as Pending Details and the clock stops until the customer replies.
If you feel like your response closes the loop and provides any necessary resolution, send the reply as Closed. The clock stops. If the customer disagrees, they can respond and re-open the conversation.
And Then What?
Once the conversation is closed, choose whether to send a follow-up email to the customer asking about their satisfaction with the experience. Ratings and any responses are associated with the same message within the platform, then all the data gets collecting in one impressive-looking dashboard.
Want to drill down on which teams are seeing the most feedback, which individuals have the lowest response times, and who has the highest ratings? It's all there. Slice and dice across topics and feedback types, sources and time frames, and plenty more.
There's plenty more to explore with SoGoConnect, but the concept is simple: Following up with those who share feedback just makes sense. A systematic approach that encourages collaboration, tracks efficiency, and protects the security of your data? That makes even more sense.
Learn more in this series, and join an upcoming webinar to see for yourself why closing the loop inspires better dialogues.

A music celebration will out of the blue keep running on the blockchain tapping the quickly developing innovation as a creative method to address enduring issues for example ticket scalping and fan commitment.
Called our music festival or OMF the debut version will happen on October 20 in San Francisco civic center plaza with a lineup to incorporate automated craftsman zed.
Coordinators said that the celebration would be the first to work on the blockchain the framework that moves lumps of information safely through an online record. Blockchain has been put into developing uses from medicinal records to managing an account and most noticeably as the device behind cryptographic money bitcoin.
For the celebration fans will utilize a versatile application and see all ticket buys on an open record which the promoters' expectation will totally dispose of the resale showcase that craftsmen and settings have attempted to tame.
The way ticketing works now it is simply kind of acknowledged by everybody and there are clear issues from scalping to duplicating to misrepresentation to crazy charges said Justin Palauan agent turned DJ with the stage-name 3lau who conceptualized the celebration.
The motivation behind why these frameworks haven't been switched is that as of recently there truly hasn't been a superior way he said.
You won't have craigslist offering paper tickets to Coachella any longer once ticketing is on the blockchain he said. Blau who will likewise perform at our music festival said that blockchain will open up another field of impetuses as fans will win digital currency for everything from early ticket buys to urging companions to come.
Fans can spend the digital money on advantages, for example, VIP updates nourishment and drink. Blau sees the specific money much like aircraft miles with visit clients acquiring the first-class status. Blau trusts that blockchain can, at last, rebalance the connection amongst a group of onlookers and promoters with fans drove by those holding more digital currency making their own particular lineups.
At the present time, it's maybe a couple people sitting behind a work area saying this is the craftsman who will profit in this place. Be that as it may, they don't ask the fans. It's extremely wasteful Blau said. Recognizing that vendors have been attracted to the blockchain Blau said that the celebration was resolved to run easily by beginning little and bit by bit tweaking.
He said tickets for the debut OMF would begin at around $19 very practical for our celebration. blau who is working with a celebration promoter prime social group and blockchain amusement studio singularity would like to get OMF the following two years to Japan and Barcelona.


Forman's Fish Island's head of events Arthur Somerset has told C&IT that its recently approved plans for a 'giant living room' style corporate experiential area will boost creativity and jobs in the East End.
Forman's Fish Island, which is situated opposite the Olympic Stadium, has had plans approved to create a 8,000 capacity events space which can be tailored to corporate requirements.
The living room construction's floor is 6m off the ground, above 5,500sqm of hospitality space. There is also a sofa structure as tall as a four-storey building with more experiential space.
The 'cabinet' section of the sofa could become a nightclub for for up to 1,500 delegates. The venue has a 2am closing time.
A 30m x 17m screen can be used for live action, video games and Twitter feeds.
The plans were criticised by some local residents in a BBC video, with claims that the area would create noise and harsh light from the screen installation.
Owner of Forman's Fish Island Lance Forman said: "The Olympics is for everyone and it is especially about the regeneration of East London. With four billion viewers and 100,000 media, Fish Island is on the world's stage. We have been part of the heritage of East London since 1905 so are delighted that we can welcome the world."
Somerset added: "This is only a temporary structure, erected during the biggest peace time event ever. The screen will be facing the Park so will cause a minimum of distraction for residents. This is a global event, and the hours we keep have to reflect that."

Even though life around our house gets a bit chaotic over the summer (less structure), it's always amazing to me to see how much personal growth occurs in my kids when they're around each other more during the day than when they are separated by their school lives (different schools, different grade levels, etc).
I had mentioned in my post about camp that Josh and Lauryn loved having Joe and Amy gone for a week, but I should also mention that Lauryn and Josh also LOVE having the attention of their big brother and sister, and Amy loves having real "students" populate her "kitchen classroom," versus the imaginary pupils, who seem to get called up to the front of the room a lot for disciplinary actions (don't know WHAT that's about).
They are all getting geared up for our big two-week trek into New England in July, to visit relatives in Vermont, see Niagra Falls, and explore Boston. We plan to do all of this while building togetherness in a 10 x 14 tent.

The future of a rural hotel near Huddersfield has been secured after it was bought by a fast growing Yorkshire hotel and leisure group.
Northern Powerhouse Developments (NPD) has boosted its portfolio of properties in the county with the acquisition of Pennine Manor Hotel at Scapegoat Hill.
The hotel, which boasts its own helipad, was put on the market for £1.25m by global chain Best Western almost two years ago, causing concern for couples with long term wedding bookings .
But it has remained open and the takeover deal has now been confirmed.
NPD said it plans a sympathetic refurbishment of the 31-bedroom hotel at Nettleton Hill Road and vowed to take it more upmarket.
The company aims to maintain its policy of injecting new life into much-loved destinations, which often acts as a catalyst to a greater revival of surrounding areas.
NPD Chairman Gavin Woodhouse said the firm had plans to enhance the guest experience by transforming it into a "stand-out retreat destination", with refurbishment including a new spa complex, an al fresco bar and a dining area.
He added: "We are delighted to be able to announce the arrival of our fourth hotel in Yorkshire and look forward to opening the doors at Pennine Manor.
"Already established as an idyllic wedding venue, our plan is to undertake a rolling schedule of refurbishments which will further enhance its reputation and build upon its perfect position in this beautiful and much-visited part of the world.
"Yorkshire has long been a hugely popular tourist destination for a global audience but following high-profile events like the Tour de Yorkshire, this has increased further.
NPD's other Yorkshire hotels are The Imperial Crown in Halifax, The Old Golf Course in Huddersfield and Scarborough's Esplanade Hotel.
The Elland -based developer – which has Peter Moore, the man who brought Centre Parcs to the UK, on its board – has a further eight developments underway across the country.
They include Gilsland Spa in Cumbria, a collection of four hotels in North Wales and two further sites in South Wales.
Founded by Mr Woodhouse, award-winning Northern Powerhouse Developments identifies prime development properties due to their historically strong attraction to tourists and looks to buy several hotels to create a cluster.
In Wales the company operates six hotels and has a number under development, including the Afan Valley Adventure resort in South Wales which is set to become home to the Bear Grylls Survival Academy European headquarters.
Other sites are at Woolacombe and Dartmoor, both Devon, Bourton-on-Dunsmore, near Rugby, Warwickshire, and at Brampton in Cumbria.
Its expanding hotel portfolio means it employs over 650 people in England and Wales.

Will Celtics cash in for established player?
jfenton@enterprisenews.com
The names of high-profile players from the NBA's Eastern Conference have been flying around all week.
Paul George. Jimmy Butler. Kristaps Porzingis. Kevin Love. Kyle Lowry.
Even LeBron James.
All eyes are supposed to be on the NBA Draft that takes place Thursday night, but the focus has shifted to news concerning established players in the East.
The Celtics, who traded down from No. 1 to No. 3 in the draft, are keeping close tabs on all that is happening in their conference.
With so many draft assets – a possible three first-round picks in 2018 and 2019 after being in a prime spot this week – along with tradable players, the Celtics are in a position to make something big happen.
Will they hold on to the third pick and select Josh Jackson of Kansas (who is balking at working out for them) or Jayson Tatum of Duke?
Or will they use it as part of a large package to trade for someone like Butler or Porzingis?
So much is going on during draft week, and it figures to heat up even more with free agency set to open a week from Saturday morning.
George informed the Pacers that he won't be re-signing with them after the 2017-18 season and wants to go home and play for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Celtics could take a shot of bringing in George for this season and hope he gets hooked on the situation, but that doesn't seem worth the gamble of what it would cost to get him from Indiana.
Butler's name keeps popping up in connection with the Celtics, just like it did last February before the trade deadline.
Now, there are reports that the Cleveland Cavaliers are trying to make something happen, using a third team in a trade, to put Butler next to James and Kyrie Irving.
The Celtics will continue to explore Butler, and a lineup that features him, Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford and possible free-agent signee Gordon Hayward would be able to score some points.
The 7-foot-3 Porzingis, who turns 22 in August, had his name thrown into the rumor mill on Tuesday.
Reports are circulating that Knicks basketball boss Phil Jackson is looking into trading Porzingis, who averaged 16.1 points and 7.2 rebounds in his first two seasons.
Portzingis is unhappy with the Knicks and didn't show up for his exit meeting at the end of the season in April.
The Celtics certainly have enough to make something happen with the Knicks, but whether Jackson trades such a promising player – and to a rival – is a huge question.
Love is once again said to be on the trade market after the Cavs lost in the NBA Finals, but the Celtics aren't in the market for him while Lowry is a free agent and there are questions about whether he'll re-sign with the Toronto Raptors.
And then there's James.
There is more intrigue going on in Cleveland not long after they were stopped in the Finals by the Golden State Warriors in five games.
David Griffin is out as general manager, and James went on Twitter this week saying he appreciated what Griffin did for the franchise. James wanted him to receive a contract extension.
If there is unhappiness again between James and ownership, there are going to be plenty of rumors building that he is headed to either the Lakers or Clippers in the summer of 2018.
That would certainly shake things up in the Eastern Conference where James has won seven straight titles with the Miami Heat and the Cavs.
The offseason is just underway, but already there is plenty in motion around the NBA, especially in the East.

New Sex Work Bill Goes Too Easy on Clients
In choosing fines rather than criminalization, Israeli Justice Minister is hiding behind the failures of other, flopped, anti-prostitution laws
Vered Lee
Send me email alerts for new articles by Vered Lee
FILE PHOTO: Memorial protest in Israel remembering a prostitute killed on the jobMeged Gozani
The bill presented Wednesday morning by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked is an important step in the struggle against prostitution in Israel. The bill aims to end the policy of quiet, creeping institutionalization of sex work that has thrived in Israel for years.
Important as the measure is, the proposal lacks genuine courage and does not go far enough. It largely protects the clients of sex workers, rather than treating their offense with the requisite seriousness. The bill, following models adopted by Sweden, Norway, Canada, Ireland and France, does not criminalize sex workers and provides for their rehabilitation. We can only hopes it will be implemented in an effective manner.
By choosing the path of administrative enforcement — fines and rehabilitation — rather than criminalization, Shaked is hiding behind the failures in enforcing the law prohibiting the purchase of sex from minors. She argues that since no one has ever been charged with patronizing teenage prostitutes, the administrative route is more practical.
But one must wonder whether the years-long failure of the police, the prosecution and the judicial system to enforce the law against paying for sex with minors should deter the government from making it a crime to pay for sex with adults. Moreover, when Israel was sharply criticized in the United Nations report on the Rights of the Child, one of its most significant steps was to increase the punishment for sex with minors to five years in prison, from three years. No proposal was made to waive criminalization and take the administrative route.
While the bill does note that people engage in prostitution out of distress and have difficulty extracting themselves from it, it immediately explains that this doesn't indicate that prostitution is without consent or involves exploitation. "The proposed offense is not of high severity in the hierarchy of sex offenses. Therefore it is proposed this be a violation of a severity that is not high; an offense punishable by a fine, to be defined as an administrative offense under the Administrative Offenses Law."

Israel targets the sex industry: Moving to ban internet ads, fine the johns and close websites
Bill to ban ads recruiting prostitutes approved by Knesset panel
It is unfortunate that despite Shaked's statements that the bill conveys the message that the consumption of prostitution is morally unacceptable, the bill makes the question of consent relevant, in contrast to the Swedish law, which recognizes consent as marginal and focuses on the damage, the one who causes it, and preventing it. In the Israeli bill, the customer's culpability and the damage it causes do not receive appropriate expression. One hopes that this will be just a first step on Israel's route to saying goodbye to modern-day sex slavery.


The poem cannot only be what it once was in writing. Also there is something spoken. Told maybe not. It is not so much about that.
One does not see as much as look into, and most viewing takes place through other texts. You are still reading Richard II. Then what writing gravitates towards your writing, especially when it is one or two words, and there is no need for them to follow each other: Stimmer, Himmel. Should that be enough for today? If it is nothing, it is more than enough. The pressure around the text deforms the impulse to generate it. Those pressures, once again, are found in the formulation: the narration of historical structures. Writing exists to the extent that it has not been studied. It is not to study that one reads, it is to see. The structure permits perception to develop, static, or agitated, veering. The movement between one word to the next as among groupings, clusters of intensities including color and the weight (gravity) of semantics, which the poem exists in order to disturb. Even the sentence does not need to obey the one that precedes it. Reading can also assume the form or posture, is it a pose, of obedience. Does one read Richard II or heed the commands of that English? You are reading Richard II in Russian. Everything is changed or can change, charged at the boundary of the parallel sign. Or else we complete an outline, filling in the shape we recognize, and language is neutralized. Becomes a quotation. Lifted from the space where there are edges, sharpenings, conflicts—what does not belong and what is more than what is needed—into the air thickened by the fumes of the formula. "Now is the Winter of our Discontent" distends like a dead branch from the birch tree the two men were sawing, illegally. Beyond them, behind the high fence (did you notice the barbed wire?) the great house rises in the splendor of new wood, windows and doors. They must work for the owner, the landowner, and sell to him the forest. The summer institute for orphans survives conspicuously alongside, silent in September. The woodsmoke is sweet among the small houses beside the stream where the loose cows stopped you from meandering.
The unpredictability of the most mundane detail, like a periscope surfacing from the mud at the bus stop. There is an old argument between invention and imagination. Yet the theory of submergence permits the most ridiculous assertion. Besides, one of the sailors who died on the Kursk came from this region, and the news was that the family was satisfied with the government's remuneration for their son, and proud of the attention his death occasioned. Why should anyone be remembered? Another monument appears above an inscription, and the shoppers acknowledge the inconvenience caused by the occupation of a certain amount of space. You are right, there is more humor in advertisements, despite the amusement of stray dogs urinating on Kirov. Can it be called life, lightness, glee, the volubility in an absurdity, like Our Boots Your Success? Even in the Russian there was no word play. A woman in lingerie reclines astride a tiger on a plastic bag, inside which are garlands of nettles bunched and drying. Nettle soup I can recognize from the writings of Eastern Europeans about everyday life in the labor camps. A Polish writer's account of the surplus brutality of Lithuanian and Ukrainian guards, eager to prove to their employers they were not Russian. It is the shape that I recognize, from memory, and the form is completed before I can admire the incongruity of the silk underwear worn by the woman on the tiger. Her husband must work for Gazprom, or the Duma. Wars are integral components of capitalist economies, as the cult of femininity is unthinkable without the military. You wear your sweater like a shirt, alert to the irony of every comfort. Except coffee.

Venture Fund Finances Orexin-Agonist Development with Hope of Narcolepsy Therapy
Feb 6, 2019 | Narcolepsy, Pharmaceuticals | 1 |
Tokyo- and London-based Sosei Group Corporation has entered into a structured financing agreement with Medicxi, a venture fund dedicated to financing asset-centric companies, to form two independent companies, Orexia Limited and Inexia Limited, which aim to develop novel therapies based on positive modulators of the G protein-coupled receptors Orexin OX1 and OX2 for neurological diseases. Medicxi will be investing in both companies with an aggregate amount of up to €40 million.
Under the terms of the agreement, Orexia and Inexia will obtain a portfolio of related patents from the company and have the rights to exploit a series of Orexin OX1 and OX2 positive modulators and derived products derived, including dual OX1/OX2 agonists, designed and developed by the company, as well as access to proprietary know-how and development capabilities.
Orexia will focus on the development of oral therapies, while Inexia will focus on the development of candidates for intranasal delivery using the Optinose Exhalation Delivery System.
The company will retain an equity holding in both companies and will receive R&D payments as well as further payments on the achievement of pre-defined development milestones.
The funding, which is committed by Medicxi, will enable the further development and optimization of lead candidates for oral or intranasal administration into clinical development and through to proof-of-concept, utilizing Sosei Heptares' platform, discovery, and clinical development expertise including extensive experience of neurological disorders. Specific target indications will be determined as the programs advance and will include narcolepsy.
The orexin system is a key regulator of behavioral arousal, wakefulness, and sleep. The loss of the orexin neurons has been shown to be strongly linked to multiple neurological conditions including narcolepsy. In this indication, orexin receptors remain intact and functional, providing an opportunity for therapeutic intervention.
The primary target indication of narcolepsy is characterized by frequent transitions between states of wakefulness and sleep and the inability of maintaining a wakeful state. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), manifesting as attacks of falling asleep at unpredictable times, as well as cataplexy, a sudden but transient weakening of muscle tone that can cause collapse.
Mario Alberto Accardi, PhD, who has a background in life sciences venture capital and helped structure the deal on behalf of Medicxi, will be appointed as CEO and co-founder of Orexia and Inexia, and will join the respective boards. The other initial member of the Boards will be Francesco De Rubertis, a partner at Medicxi. Orexia and Inexia will run outsourced drug development programs, leveraging an experienced team of drug developers within Sosei Heptares and additional contributions from a group of leading experts in the orexin space. Both companies follow Medicxi's asset-centric virtual model utilizing minimal infrastructure and thus increasing capital efficiency.
"Orexin agonism is a very well validated therapeutic target with a clear unmet clinical need. We are excited to partner with Sosei Heptares to discover and develop such potentially valuable assets," says Francesco De Rubertis, partner at Medicxi, in a release.
Malcolm Weir, PhD, executive VP and chief R&D officer, says, "The asset-centric approach pioneered by Medicxi has proved to be very successful for developing discrete and novel assets and for creating significant value and allows us seamlessly to transfer our ongoing activities and IP into these two special purpose vehicles. We see great promise in the orexin agonist program and believe it can be advanced significantly with this focused funding and within these new structures in which we retain a significant stake."

Sharp rise in CEO pay could be countered by pay ratios
The rate of CEO compensation has risen alarmingly quickly in recent years.
According to the High Pay Centre, CEOs at major British companies earned roughly 15 times the average employee salary in 1980. Within 20 years this had risen to a rate of 47 times, and in 2014 it rose to a staggering ratio of 183:1.
This figure is even higher in the US, with statistics from the AFL-CIO placing salaries for CEOs at S&P 500 companies at an average of 373 times the salary of the average worker – for example, $13.5m compared to $36,000.
There have been attempts to justify high pay in relation to the company's overall performance, and the CEO's efforts being intrinsic to this success. However, research from the Social Science Research Network does not support these claims. CEO compensation now continually outpaces company performance.
A suggested solution to curb this would be to make it mandatory for companies to publish their pay ratios. This initiative is being introduced in the US by 2017, after the Securities and Exchange Commission voted in favour of the rule last year.
Although companies in the UK are already required to disclose CEO compensation in comparison to their employees, they only need compare their pay with a select group of employees, and are not required to include significant long-term pay incentives such as shares.
Introducing pay ratios could force corporate boards to rethink excessive CEO pay and also potentially force an increase in the pay offered to lower-level employees.
Michael L. Bognanno has considered this steep rise in CEO pay in his article for IZA World of Labor. He shows that the pay-setting process is "unduly influenced by the CEO", and the "pay of top executives has grown noticeably in relation to overall firm profitability." To combat these issues and move CEO pay towards fairer levels he recommends measures that "enhance the transparency of compensation packages strengthen the shareholder voice on pay issues, and limit the CEO's freedom to exercise stock options".

Talbija (: טלביה, : الطالبية, oficiálně Komemijut, : קוממיות) je městská čtvrť v centrální části Jeruzaléma v Izraeli.

Geografie
Na severu hraničí s čtvrtí Jemin Moše a Machane Jisra'el, na severozápadě s Rechavja, na západě s Kirjat Šmu'el, na jihozápadě s Katamon, na jihu s ha-Mošava ha-Germanit (Německá Kolonie) a na východě s Abu Tor. Leží v nadmořské výšce přes 750 metrů cca 1 kilometr jihozápadně od historického jádra města. Leží na mírně zvlněné vyvýšenině, která na východ odtud prudce spadá do údolí vádí Nachal Chinom, které ústí do kaňonu Nachal Kidron. Na protější straně údolí se zvedá Hora Sijón. Čtvrť se nachází nedaleko okraje území, které ovládl Izrael během války za nezávislost v roce 1948, tedy nedaleko od Zelené linie. Poblíž jí prochází silnice číslo 60 (Derech Chevron). Končí tady rovněž stará železniční trať Tel Aviv-Jeruzalém. Populace čtvrti je židovská.

Dějiny
Pozemky, na kterých se čtvrť rozkládá, byly v 2. polovině 19. století vykoupeny od místních Arabů řeckou pravoslavnou církví. Výkupy prováděl kněz Nikoporos Bitasis a oblasti se proto původně říkalo Nikoporia. Řecká církev získávala velké sumy peněz od poutníků i od carského Ruska. Nikoporos byl proto Araby nazýván Abu Zahav (Zlatý otec). Po ruské revoluci roku 1917 ale pravoslavná církev přišla o původní finanční zdroje a byla nucena odprodávat své nemovitosti. V té době došlo i k prodeji pozemků na místě pozdější čtvrti Talbija. Její výstavba začala roku 1923. Domy si tu začali stavět bohatí Arabové z Betlému, Ramalláhu a Bajt Džala. Několik domů tu postavila i rodina křesťanského Araba Constantina Selmy. Zpočátku byla místní populace převážně křesťanská, reprezentována rody Selma, Tannaus, Džilad, Džemal, nebo patřící k arménskýmn křesťanům jako rody Matussian či Kalbian. Žilo zde i několik Židů (rodiny Mas, Lišinski a Likwarnick). Hlavní díl stavební aktivity zde proběhl v letech 1924–1937. V letech 1938–1948 se již stavební tempo zpomalilo a docházelo spíše k nástavbám a přístavbám stávajících objektů. Předákem zdejších Židů byl Re'uven Mas, Araby zastupoval Ibrahim Ca'abni.

Jméno čtvrtě je podle některých teorií odvozeno o chalífy Aliho ab-Talba, jehož potomci měli žít v této oblasti. Podle jiného názoru je odvozeno od muslimské modlitby recitované při pouti do Mekky. Během války za nezávislost v roce 1948 byla ovládnuta Izraelci v rámci Operace Kilšon, místní arabské obyvatelstvo odešlo a čtvrť byla přejmenována na Komemijut. Ovšem jde jen o formální název, který se v praxi neujal. Do opuštěných arabských domů se po roce 1948 nastěhovali Židé. V 50. letech 20. století zde pak došlo k výstavbě bytových domů v prolukách. Jde o jednu z nejprestižnějších čtvrtí v Jeruzalémě. Nachází se tu na ulici Rechov Žabotinsky rezidence prezidenta Izraele, poblíž ní se rozkládá Národní vědecký institut. V 70. letech 20. století tu vyrostlo kulturní centrum zvané Jeruzalémské divadlo. Dochovalo se tu množství původních vil, které jsou památkově chráněny. Obyvatelstvo je vyšší střední třída a sestává ze sekulárních i nábožensky sionistických rodin.

I'm dave with mako spearguns and today were talking about making your hunt even more successful with the flasher ball, fish flashers, and the throw flasher.
There are a lot of different ways to rig flashers, a lot of it comes down to personal preferences and what works for you in your environment.
A great starting point is to rig your flashers about 2 feet apart, tuning the length more or less depending on the clarity of the water you're diving in and the brightness of the sun.
We like to add a small weight to the top of the string of flashers to help get the flashers down, but doesn't dampen the action that creates those great light flashes as they dance in the water.
For easy line let out and retrieval, hook your string of flashers to the utility reel, and you're ready to go.
Or check out the Flasher Float that not only makes let out & retrieval a snap, but also makes it easy to store your flasher rig when not in use.
Lets start by stringing the flashers together with the reel line.
Make a simple over hand knot, and then a second one so we have a nice big knot in the line.
Now spray some lubricant on the knot and using a small screwdriver push the knot into the tubing.
Use your band tying line to form a single constrictor knot and pull the ends tight with your pliers.
And that's it, your throw flasher are ready to lure in some serious targets.
So for a more successful hunt, check out all the MAKO Spearguns Fish Flasher options.
Thanks guys for taking time to watch this video , and for additional how-to videos be sure to check our website under the instructional information link.
