Teachers do a lot for our children. They teach them reading, math, and history. But there are some life skills that just can't be taught in the classroom because they need to be learned in the context of day-to-day life. They are best taught through example, and the best example for a child is her parent.
Your child can count pennies on a page all day long in school, but it doesn't amount to much unless those pennies are real and are put to use in the real world. Financial responsibility is something we all learn, often the hard way. The earlier we start to teach our children what it means to make money, spend money, and save money, the better off they will be down the road.
Give your child an earned allowance and let her make decisions on how to spend it, save it, or donate it. She'll quickly learn that the bag of candy she had to have will make it harder for her to save up for the new toy she wants. Learning the difference between needs and wants, and how saving money helps us in the long run, are great lessons to learn as a child.
Your child may be a slob, but have you taught her how to clean? If you are picking up all of your three-year-old's toys for her, you are not doing her (or you) any favors. Make sure she puts away the toy she was playing with when she is done with it before she takes a new toy out. When you're vacuuming or dusting, let her help.
There are plenty of chores that young children can do to help out around the house. Teach her the best ways to clean and why certain cleaning products are better or worse (just don't let her touch any chemicals). As she gets older, give her more responsibilities so that she can learn to value her belongings and her home.
Teach children to cook, even if a little. Not only will they be healthier for it, they will be less reliant on a spouse or take-out food. Let them pick out new recipes and help you cook meals and prepare snacks. As they grow, you can have more responsibility in the kitchen. You can also teach her about spices and flavor combinations, as well as different cooking terms, measuring, and how to tell when fruit is at its freshest. These will all be greatly beneficial when she's grown.
Learning to be organized will help your child throughout her life both professionally and personally. You can start with her toys and continue with her homework once she is in school. Create filing systems together to show her how being organized equals less stress. Organizational skills will come in handy someday when she is filing her taxes, starting at her first job, or moving into her first home.
There's a common belief out there that if something makes someone happy, then she should just do it — no matter how it affects other people. This is not true. Every action we take affects the people we love and even some people we don't know, and that should not be taken lightly.
You can begin teaching your child about sympathy, empathy, and compassion when she is still young by bringing her with you to volunteer at the food shelf or the animal shelter, and by encouraging her to give a portion of her allowance to a local charity. Psychology Today believes that giving your child a pet will also help to foster compassion, kindness, and sympathy.
Children are bound to fight with each other, usually over a toy. But in today's world, bullies seem to have a stronger, longer reach than in years past. You can teach your child to practice good conflict resolution by leading by example. Don't argue with your spouse and use mean language in front of your children. Don't talk down to each other or yell at your child fiercely. She will mimic your behavior.
The Australian Psychology Society advises parents to help children identify how they feel and understand the other person's perspective during a conflict. Teach her how to use her words calmly and effectively. Resorting to yelling, name-calling, or violence is never okay.
It isn't really too hard to teach happiness to your child — you just have to practice it yourself. Your stresses and frustrations are obvious to your child, and so is how you handle them. Try to always keep a positive outlook and show gratitude even when times are tough or you are having a bad day. We can't choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we react. Our happiness in life isn't made up of material things or a large income. It is a choice that comes from within. Teach your child to have faith, to celebrate the good with the bad, and to never lose hope.
Parents are the best teachers. It is in our everyday lives that our children learn the most about life, love, success, and happiness. Do your best to lead by example and help your child grow into a successful, happy, compassionate adult.

What does Natalia Vetlitskaya's 15-year-old daughter look like and why she doesn't like school
Natalia Vetlitskaya is one of the brightest artists of the 90s, many still listen to her songs and admire her voice. Natalia was married four times, but her daughter gave birth out of wedlock at the age of 40. According to the stories of her producer, the artist did not want to give birth, but he persuaded her and now she has a beautiful girl Ulyana.
It is worth noting that at the age of 4, Ulyana began to have health problems and the doctors advised the singer to change her place of residence and find a country with a more favorable climate. This is how Vetlitskaya now explains her move to Spain, but a couple of years ago she simply said that she did not want her daughter to grow up in Russia. Anyway…
Ulyana grew up as a rather reserved child, and was often harassed at school by her classmates. Vetlitskaya more than once in her social networks said that she was looking forward to her daughter graduating from school and forever forgetting everything that was happening to her there.
And this is how Ulyana looks now.

Here's all the latest news from the movement for renters' rights and the housing sector.
Our tags at the bottom of the page let you explore popular subjects.
Our blog is built by the expertise and experience of our movement; if you'd like to write something, please get in touch via our website with your blog idea and we'll get back to you.
Housing costs hitting young workers the hardest
On Saturday our director Alex spoke at the Trade Union Congress's Big Youth Debate, where he outlined the findings of a joint survey of 18-35 year olds that Generation Rent conducted with the TUC. We found that most young renters are living in unaffordable housing, while a third of young mortgage holders are being stretched.
The full details are below:
Council crackdown on shanty town
The London Borough of Islington has fined a landlord £280,000 for defying orders to rip down insubstantial housing built without permission in an outbuilding.
It's good to see a London council getting tough on landlords who flout planning law to the detriment of their tenants. Too often we see local authorities not taking action when there is a breach of planning law, or being thwarted by the four-year dwelling rule which exempts the landlord if the dwelling has been continuously occupied for four years.
Islington Council has shown that you can forcefully take on those who are ignoring planning regulations with the right political will. This is as much an issue of ensuring that tenants live in decent, spacious and well-kept properties as it is simply a planning dispute and Islington has recognised this in the work it is doing in the private rented sector.
And that colossal fine could go towards building some real houses.
Young people hit hardest by the cost of housing
It will come as no surprise to many that the latest research released from Savills shows that under 35s are paying the most per household on housing.
Renters' power is growing - don't let Parliament ignore you
The number of renters is growing so fast there will soon be over 100 MPs who represent more renters than home owners.
In research Generation Rent has published today, the number of MPs who have more constituents who rent than own their home has risen from 38 in 2001 (6% of MPs) to 65 in 2011 (10%). If home ownership remains unaffordable and this trend continues, renters will start to outnumber home owners in 104 seats (16%) by 2021.
This represents a huge increase in political power for renters after a generation of neglect by successive governments. We are calling on MPs to give renters a voice in Westminster by becoming Renter Champions, and we need your help.
Image: Renter majorities in 2021
I'm very pleased to be delivering the MSc Sustainable Urban Development public lecture for Oxford University and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors on 7th November.
I'll be exploring the failure of the housing market, the threat it poses to the economy and how a secondary, cost price housing market can fix the problem.
Not only is everyone welcome but it's also free to attend. I hoe you will come along and heckle wittily. But please do rsvp to David Howard at [email protected]
A response to Labour's Lyons report on housing
For almost a year Labour has been touting its Lyons Housing Review as the central plank of its offer for the 2015 manifesto. But its publication today, after so much foreplay, has left me disappointingly unsatisfied.
Evicted for trying to help
Michael James has been living in his flat in Tower Hamlets, East London, for 24 years. The building he lives in is getting on a bit and when he found a loose piece of concrete on the walkway, which could have fallen off and hurt children playing below, he asked his landlord to fix it. When this request fell on deaf ears, he went to the council.
(image from ITV London News)
When the landlord found out, Michael received an eviction notice. Tower Hamlets Renters has been helping Michael to fight the eviction and thankfully he is still there.
Last night, ITV London News reported on Michael's case and the new Private Member's Bill in Parliament that could stop these revenge evictions.
London needs homes, not 'investments'
As the latest House Price Index reveals an annual increase of 19.6% in the cost of London homes, the MIPIM property fair rolls into the capital tomorrow. MIPIM is a forum focused on international investment in housing, which brings together tens of thousands of investors, property developers, politicians and landlords to discuss how best to make huge amounts of money from housing in cities across the world.
A chance to protect tenants
Help us ban revenge evictions
Raising two young sons on her own, Venice Allan did not need extra worries about her housing situation.
"The flat we were in was in the basement and it was damp. After a few months black mould started to appear on the walls. That was bad enough for my sons' health but then we discovered a live wire that needed fixing.
Help ban revenge evictions
Have you ever delayed getting a landlord to maintain your home because it's not worth the bother? Have you ever felt they'll just string you along or worse, evict you as a trouble maker? Well that could soon be over.
MP Sarah Teather has tabled a Private Member's Bill in Parliament that will outlaw so-called revenge evictions.
The truth is that only the worst landlords will boot a tenant over a maintenance issue, but you don't know if you're one of the unlucky ones until you make that complaint. The behaviour of a small number of dodgy landlords creates a very real fear for millions of tenants.
Write to your MP now to demand they support this Bill
Private renters suffer cold, damp and mouldy homes
Richard Kay is Communications Manager at the Energy Saving Trust, an organisation helping householders, governments, businesses and organisations save energy every day.
Tenants find it harder to heat their homes than owner occupiers and are the most concerned about their energy bills, according to research from the Energy Saving Trust.
Living in a home that is easy-to-heat, and free of damp and mould should be a basic right, yet it is estimated that there are 400,000 privately rented homes in England with an F or G energy performance rating – almost the same number of households in Birmingham. As winter approaches Caroline Flint's declaration of war on cold homes couldn't be more welcome.
Last week we revealed that many private renters are living in damp, cold and mouldy properties, with no expectation their landlord will pay for home improvements after our public opinion tracker UK Pulse also finding that renters are more concerned about their energy bills compared to owner occupiers. In light of these findings, we are urging landlords to look at ways they can improve the EPC rating of their properties.
Labour's housing manifesto takes shape
Alex Hilton presented Emma Reynolds with a box of chocolates when they sat down to talk housing at our event with SHOUT last night. It was in recognition of Labour's work so far on making renting less of the waking nightmare it currently is - but not anything fancy - just Milk Tray, this time. There is still a lot we want from the next government.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Amazon.com's (AMZN) AWS cloud business is about to launch a new business solution called Space Needle.
This new business will challenge existing business intelligence and analytics providers like Tableau Software (DATA), Splunk (SPLK) and Qlik Technology (QLIK).
Amazon AWS controls 29% of a cloud infrastructure services market that is growing nearly 50% annually, a market that reached almost $6 billion in second-quarter revenue according to Synergy Research. Amazon AWS sells services that replace business operations, and with over one million customers, AWS's reach is far.
With that said, data analytics and cloud services go hand-in-hand, and because of AWS's presence, the three big data pure plays could have some trouble ahead.
DATA is the fastest-growing of the data analytics companies, with expected revenue growth of 53% this year and 36% next year. DATA stock grew 65% year over year during its last quarter and produced $527 million in revenue over the past four quarters. As far as last quarter's revenues, $96.7 million was licensing revenue, which later becomes recurring revenue.
Tableau has essentially taken the market by storm, but it has also gained by AWS not being a competitor. DATA works with AWS customers by allowing its platform to interact with Amazon AWS, and its core Tableau Server Product is also available on AWS.
If Amazon gets serious about data analytics, DATA could lose those connections to AWS, and in turn see a deceleration of growth. If so, DATA stock would likely suffer.
While DATA's platform collects information from industries, markets and people, Splunk's data is derived from machines. SPLK collects data from smartphones, servers, computers, etc. — and that's a space where there are no connections named to AWS's Space Needle.
That said, SPLK is an enterprise data service provider, and AWS is targeting enterprise customers. In fact, FBR & Co.'s Daniel Ives recently said that only 10% of the enterprise business intelligence market is penetrated, making it a great opportunity for AWS. If that's AWS's targeted industry, and machines are included, SPLK stock could feel the pain.
Like DATA, SPLK is expected to grow fast: 40% this year and 32% next year.
QLIK stock has held up quite well in a market that has been unforgiving to top BI analytic stocks. That's because it recently launched Qlik Sense, a visualization product that competes directly with DATA. Many investors think that it will become a legitimate threat to DATA and accelerate QLIK's otherwise mediocre growth.
However, Qlik Sense is getting off to a slow start. During QLIK stock's last quarter, its license revenue increased just $9 million year-over-year. That's a lot less than the $35 million-plus in license revenue growth that DATA created.
Based on this information alone, don't be surprised if Qlik Sense is the first service shut down when AMZN gets rolling.
The bottom line is that AMZN presents a new risk that pure BI analytic service providers have not had to face during their existence. The big question is how they will respond.
But unfortunately, it does not end there for DATA, SPLK and QLIK, as Microsoft (MSFT) is also making a big push into the BI space with major upgrades to its Power BI platform. This means that two companies that, together, own 40% of the cloud infrastructure services space — combined with an unrivaled presence as enterprise service providers — will be competing for customers with the likes of DATA, QLIK and SPLK.
In essence, maybe one of these three companies can survive, maybe one or two get acquired, but regardless, all face new challenges, and those new challenges likely mean lower stock prices.
As of this writing, Brian Nichols owned shares of DATA.

Our AALP class woke this morning in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 12 hours ahead of our families and friends at home in Ontario and the inaugural Canada's Agriculture Day.
We are celebrating and sharing our passion and knowledge of Canadian agriculture today with two other Ag leadership groups from the US, LEAD New York and Rural Leadership North Dakota.
One group experienced a new mode of transportation, the Vietnamese rickshaw and the chaos of Ho Chi Minh City traffic.
We then returned to the hotel for an afternoon of speakers. Up first was Matthew Wall, Public Affairs officer at the US consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. He spoke on economics and trade between Vietnam and the US. He said that even though there has been conflict and history between the two countries, ties have never been stronger and Vietnam is the fastest growing export market for the US. He also mentioned that they use Facebook as their primary communication channel to promote American products, as 42 million people in Vietnam are on Facebook and Twitter is not available in Vietnam.
The next speaker, was Dr. Vo Mal from the Vietnam Gardening Association (VACVINA). VACVINA was the first Vietnam NGO and has one million members and more than 18,000 base organizations all over the country. She shared the message that their goal is to help gardeners become rich farmers. They assist farmers with training, promotion of products and access to set-up local markets.
Antony Nezic spoke next about his role as the President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce (CanCham Vietnam). Can Cham Vietnam consists of ~150 corporate members; 30% Canadian, 30% international, and the remaining is made up of Vietnamese companies. They host Canadian events, such as Canada Day, Canadian Thanksgiving, and the largest Terry Fox run in the world! He shared the message that as Canadians we need to do a better job of promoting our agriculture products and services to the world.
Our final speaker of the day was Vu Le Y Voan, Vice Director of International Cooperation Department of the Vietnam Farmers Union (VFNU). She said that more than 70% of the population of Vietnam are farmers, and the VNFU assists farmers with everything from creating policies, advocating for farmers, organizing training courses for technical and scientific progress and technology, as well as providing input services such as seed, fertilizer, pesticides, to loans and credit to their members and promoting products and introducing farmers to markets.
We finished off our day with a dinner with the three ag leadership groups. It was a great day of learning about Vietnam and celebrating Canadian Agriculture Day from half way across the world.

Gay Rights Icon Stonewall Inn May Become City Landmark
Tomorrow's vote could protect the bar from being torn down or changed.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images
The Stonewall Inn, which was the site of a crucial moment in the gay rights movement in 1969, may soon become an official city landmark. "We don't want to see an important historical site turn into a nail salon. With real estate as crazy as it is, I would consider these sites to be generally threatened from those type of pressures," state Senator Brad Hoylman told the Daily News. The Landmarks Preservation Commission will vote on the decision tomorrow.
Stonewall has stood in the Village since 1967, though it closed shortly after the riots that made it famous in 1969 and didn't reopen until 1990. Since then, it has served as a meeting place for celebrations of major steps in the battle to legalize gay marriage nationally. Landmark status would protect the bar from being torn down or changed, at least on the outside.
The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation has also been pushing for this decision. It's executive director Andrew Berman told the Daily News: "It is critical that the history of sites like Stonewall and the immeasurably important role they played in making our country a more just, open, and accepting place, is recognized and preserved."

This week's highs and lows in PC gaming
By PC Gamer 2017-09-29T23:53:07.271Z
Every member of the PC Gamer team ate 3 Xtra Spicy Burritos to ensure this week's takes and burps were as hot as possible.
The Highs
Samuel Roberts: NEXT-COM
This week I interviewed X-Com creator Julian Gollop about Phoenix Point, his return to the turn-based strategy genre. It's shaping up to be a treat for those who want more of that kind of game after knocking through War of the Chosen, with a totally different approach to the strategic layer.
It borrows more from Civ in that way than anything else, and I can't wait to get hands-on with it next year.
Joe Donnelly: Divine itemisation
As you might have noticed, Larian's massive fantasy role-player Divinity: Original Sin 2 launched this week and Fraser really liked it. I didn't play the first game, much to my shame, however managed to squeeze in a few hours with the sequel over the last few days. And my goodness, it's good. To the point where I've found myself idly pondering things in my spare time like: 'what if I combined this item with that?' or 'what if I spoke to her about him, and then did this?' or even 'what if I sliced off his face, used it as a mask and snuck in there?'
I've been at it all week—cycling my inventory in my head and evaluating which items might help me complete certain tasks or beat certain battles. Which is of course testament to the scope of the game. I understand the same applied to the original, but I feel right at home here despite having missed out the first time round. So much so that Divinity: Original Sin 2 is very possibly, already, my game of the year.
Jody Macgregor: My high is elves
When I was a kid playing Warhammer Fantasy Battles the High Elves were my first army. (There were 40 plastic elves in the fourth edition box set, and I convinced another player to sell me his on the cheap so I had the beginnings of a decent force.) This week, Total War: Warhammer 2 came out and the High Elves are one of its playable factions. I tried all four of those factions while reviewing it and also particularly like the Skaven, but being able to relive my youth without having to paint 80 plastic people or blow all my savings on a griffon has been a real good time.
This would be an unadulterated high if I thought I had time to just keep playing Warhammer, but I don't. I'll have to move on and play new stuff now, but we'll always have that desert where I fought the undead I can't remember the name of.
Wes Fenlon: Epic loot
This week we published a big feature on loot boxes, which takes a deep dive into the addictive psychology behind loot systems as well as the art direction involved in making them satisfying to open. There is a high in opening a loot box and getting that lucky drop, but there's also a very real connection to gambling in how we perceive loot boxes, and it's concerning how many games in the industry are moving to loot box systems to squeeze more money out of players. Some make loot boxes totally optional cosmetic enhancements; others integrate them deeply into combat and make them impossible to avoid. Unless we acknowledge and talk about those bad implementations, we're going to keep seeing more of them.
Evan Lahti: Mysterious killer aliens are good
Mystery is hard to come by in modern games. Gaming communities are big exchanges of ideas and discoveries, and groups like Game Detectives dedicate themselves even more earnestly to figuring things out. The payoff for uncertainty is generally smaller than it used to be; most modern gaming secrets take the form of either simple references and easter eggs or as marketing, in the form of ARGs that are occasionally more frustrating than fun.
But the months-long reveal of aliens in Elite: Dangerous has been an enjoyable exception to the trend. Even has a non-player, I've enjoyed the slow trickle of breakthroughs made by E:D players over the past several years: a strange audio signal, then more clues, leading to first contact in January, and finally, engaging the Thargoids in combat. It feels like something we've experienced at the pace that a future version of humanity might. Now comes the challenge of figuring out how to actually take them down.
Jarred Walton: Core component
CPUs aren't the most glamorous aspect of your PC, at least if you're doing a gaming build, but they're still a critical element. This past week, Intel launched it's counterstrike to AMD's Threadripper, and while the pricing of the Core i9-7980XE and Core i9-7960X is exorbitant, I for one am glad to even see these parts. The last upgrade to Intel's enthusiast CPU line was Broadwell-E, and we went from the $999 i7-5960X with eight cores to the $1723 i7-6950X with ten cores. That's a 20 percent increase in core count coupled to a 72 percent increase in price. By comparison, the $1999 18-core i9-7980XE gives us 80 percent more cores than the 6950X while 'only' costing 16 percent more—a bargain by any measure!
Okay, so the prices are far beyond what we would recommend for most users, and at least insofar as gaming performance goes, there's very little reason to consider such a monstrous CPU. But nine years ago we were saying the same thing about the $999 i7-965 Extreme Edition. If you're wondering what sort of processors we'll be running ten years from now, look no further than the current 'extreme' chips, including AMD's Threadripper—then double the performance and cut the price to $300. Here's looking forward to 2025!
And if Skylake-X is too rich for your blood, tune in on October 5 for the Coffee Lake launch—the 6-core/12-thread i7-8700K is looking pretty sweet, and the i5-8400 will be a 6-core/6-thread chip for under $200. Thanks AMD—competition is a good thing.

Sir Colin Davis and his stormy career in opera
For all the passionate humanity in his conducting style, Sir Colin Davis aroused resentment in the world of opera, says Rupert Christiansen.

By Rupert Christiansen, Opera Critic
10:58AM BST 15 Apr 2013
Sir Colin Davis once said that he always felt something was missing from a piece of music if it didn't feature the sound of a human voice, so it's hardly surprising that opera always played a crucial role in his career.
But what should have been the climax of this lifelong love affair — his 15-year stint as Music Director of the Royal Opera — was in truth something of a disappointment, and most of his greatest achievements came either before or after this difficult period.
As a rookie in the 1950s, Davis' reputation grew steadily through a now legendary series of Mozart performances with the pro-am Chelsea Opera Group, and when in 1959 he replaced Otto Klemperer for a concert version of Don Giovanni at the Royal Festival Hall, he was ready to hit the headlines.
This success led to his appointment as Music Director of Sadler's Wells Opera (now English National Opera), where he extended his range and pushed the frontiers of the repertory, introducing Weill's Mahagonny and Janaeck's The Cunning Little Vixen to British audiences and reviving Mozart's then little-known Idomeneo. Everything he conducted was infused with brio, panache and an intense lyricism — he always made music sing.
For all the passionate humanity in his conducting style, however, he could be tetchy, surly and cantankerous with colleagues, and those at the receiving end of his witheringly sardonic tongue often found it hard to forgive him. The absence of emollient diplomacy in his personality (he was a conviction musician, not a compromiser) meant that his stint at Covent Garden would prove a roller-coaster ride.
What makes a maestro tick?
Sir Colin Davis: from angry young firebrand to wise elder statesman
Sir Colin Davis
Conductor Sir Colin Davis dies aged 85
Shortly before he took over the Music Directorship from Sir Georg Solti (who had a similarly short fuse, but who had finished his contract in a blaze of glory), Davis had conducted to enormous acclaim the work with which he is perhaps most closely associated — Berlioz's Les Troyens. This boded well, as did his superb Peter Grimes with Jon Vickers (a singer with whom he had an intense rapport), the premiere of Tippett's ground-breaking The Knot Garden and a new production of Le Nozze di Figaro which launched Kiri te Kanawa as a world star.
But the latter years of his tenure were stormy. He did not always see eye to eye with the chief executive Sir John Tooley, and audiences often booed him. Critics publicly called for his resignation, as the Royal Opera was seen to be losing ground to its leaner and keener neighbour English National Opera. Although Davis doggedly conducted repertory staples by Wagner, Verdi and Puccini with his customary commitment, these composers didn't seem to be in his musical bones in the way that Mozart, Berlioz and Tippett were.
There were moments when it all came right — who could forget the wonderful La Clemenza di Tito with Janet Baker? or the superb production directed by Götz Friedrich of Berg's Lulu? — but there were quiet sighs of relief all round when Covent Garden let Davis go in 1986. Sadly, he went out on a low note, conducting a disastrous production of Fidelio which left everyone involved feeling angry and resentful.
Davis conducted relatively little opera abroad, although he was the first British conductor at Bayreuth and also appeared at the Metropolitan Opera and Vienna Staatsoper. London remained his operatic base, and over the last two decades of his life in the capital, he enjoyed a marvellous Indian summer, as his quick temper mellowed and his musical wisdom intensified.
With the London Symphony Orchestra, he conducted incandescent concert performances of Berlioz's Les Troyens, which in the opinion of this writer remain unsurpassed, and returned to Covent Garden for a happy cycle of Mozart operas that seemed to glow with love and warmth. It is for the rich life which he invested in this music above all that he will be long remembered.

Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom in Nazi Germany on November 9–10, 1938. On a single night, 92 Jews were murdered, and 25,000–30,000 were arrested and deported to concentration camps. This was the full start of what the world has come to know as The Holocaust and the horrors that ensued.
Today is the 70th Anniversary of that pogrom and maybe it is fitting that on this anniversary the following was discovered.
Original plans for the construction of the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz, including a gas chamber and crematorium, have been found in a Berlin apartment, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Bild gave no indication of where, when or by whom the plans were found.
It said they were dated between 1941 and 1943 and stamped, "Waffen-SS and Police Construction Directorate." Some were signed by senior SS officials and one initialed by the head of the Nazi ideological corps, Heinrich Himmler.
One plan, drawn by a detainee as early as November 1941, when experiments in eliminating prisoners were already under way, had a gas chamber clearly labeled, Bild said.
Another showed a crematorium with places for ovens marked, and storage space for bodies.
With this discovery there can be no denying the fact that the Holocaust happened and that millions of innocent men, women and children were murdered at Auschwitz as many of Holocaust deniers have claimed.
The historical import of this discovery is tremendous and in the future scholars will be able to compare these documents to the actual site.


The ultimate goal of investing in rental property turns a profit. To make sure that you achieve that goal it is essential that you follow several critical guidelines.
First, always make sure that you check references. This can be a burdensome step that many landlords overlook if they feel as though they have a good instinct about the tenant when they meet with them. Not checking references; however, can lead to a number of problems. You can uncover a wealth of information about potential problems before you rent to a prospective tenant.
Always make sure that you have everything in writing. This is to protect not only your rights but also the rights of your tenants as well. Everything from the code of conduct you expect tenants to abide by while renting your property to the rental application itself should be in writing.
You will find that you have better success with your rental property if you take the time to ensure that it is both secure and clean. The grounds of the property should be free of clear and trimmed regularly. Not only will the property be more visually appealing but these actions will also assist you with property liability. You will also want to take additional security measures. Extra security may be able to lower your insurance premiums as well as provide an incentive to quality tenants to rent your property when they know it is secure.
If you make the decision to hire a property manager, take the time to interview prospective candidates very carefully. Property managers can be quite helpful if you do not have the time to tend to all of the details yourself. The wrong property manager; however, can cause you tremendous problems. This means that you will need to hire a thoroughly responsible and professional individual to handle the job.
Always make sure that you obtain adequate insurance. Not only should you have property insurance but you should also have liability insurance. One incident is all it takes to wipe out your investment. Check with your state to determine if any additional insurance coverage is required.
Regardless of the condition the property was in when you purchased it, there will come a time when repairs are needed. This is part and parcel of owning rental property. If you take too long to make repairs, not only will your property suffer and repairs will ultimately cost more to take care of but you will also likely lose quality tenants as well. By making sure that you handle repairs promptly you will be able to maintain the life of your property as well as retain good tenants.
Always make sure that you follow all applicable regulations in the renting of your investment property. The Fair Housing Administration Act provides precise regulations in order to prevent discrimination. If you violate those regulations you could find yourself facing a lawsuit that is costly in terms of time as well as money. The best course of action is to take the time to do your homework and consult an attorney experienced in real estate matters for guidance regarding the FHA as well as ensuring that you have the proper forms.
Finally, make sure that you do not violate the privacy of your tenants. Check with your state's regulations to find out whether you must provide any type of notice to your tenant before you enter the dwelling.
Following these guidelines will help you to retain quality tenants and avoid any potential legal problems.

Histological Changes in the Lung and Liver of Mice Treated with Brake Pad Particles هاجر قيس غيدان ندى عبد الرحمن فليح العيساوي
Received 3/9/2018, Accepted 24/12/2018, Published 2/6/2019
Brake pad particles, Heavy metals, Liver, Lung, Non-exhaust emission.
Ghaidan et al.
In the present study, the effects of brake pad particles of lung and liver histological sections were evaluated for (60) adult male mice. The animals were divided into three groups ( A,B,C) according to the periods of exposure (4, 8, and 12) weeks respectively exposed to brake pad particles in addition to the control groups (F) exposed to fresh air only. A special inhalation chamber designed locally has been used to expose the animals. The exposure to brake pad particles was (2.228) µg/m³ for 30 min/day, 5 days/week for (4,8and12) weeks respectively.
The examination in group (A) of the histological sections of the lung showed the thickness of interalveolar septa. Also, a congestion of alveolar capillary was marked indicating pulmonary emphysema. The infiltration of alveolar macrophages showed the engulfed foreign particles (pad particles) within their cytoplasm, and peribronchial fibrosis. Group (B) showed the presence of pad particles (anthracosis), whereas the bronchial tree showed bronchitis with the bronchus-hyperplasia of mucin-producing cells (epithelial hyperplasia). Still another section showed an infiltration of mononuclear leukocytes and focal lobar necrosis. The third group (C), in turn, revealed acute interstitial bronchopneumonia with peribronchial focal necrosis and mild pulmonary edema with alveolar anthracosis.
As regards the liver, group (A) showed mild central venous congestion. Group (B), on the other hand, gave acute hepatitis, congestion of the central vein hyaline degeneration and mitotic figure having 2-3 nuclei. Severe congestion of the central vein with vascular amyloid deposition and most of the hepatocytes revealed coagulate necrosis in group (C). These changing tissues increased with increasing the exposure periods and were clearer in group (C) which was exposed for 12 weeks.
The continuous exposure to brake pad particles lead to damaging important body organs tissues and effect on human health, these particles can be considered as a type of pollutants added to air pollutants in different cities of Iraq.

Frank Gore was going to be a Philadelphia Eagle and then he wasn't. Now he's an Indianapolis Colt.
Only hours after backing away from a three-year, $7.5 million deal, the former San Francisco 49ers running back has agreed to a deal with the AFC South champions.
The deal is said to be for three-years and $12 million, $7.5 million of that guaranteed. The deal will have $8.5 million over the first two years and $6.5 million in bonuses.
Gore, who will turn 32 years old in May, is a five-time Pro Bowler and is the Niners' all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.
In 16 games last season, Gore had 255 carries for 1,106 yards and four touchdowns. He also added a receiving major.

Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson has tipped Pep Guardiola's Manchester City to beat Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea 3-1 when both sides clash in Sunday's Premier League fixture.
Merson also predicted Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United to defeat Fulham 3-1 on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League fixture.
According to him, Unai Emery's Arsenal will defeat Huddersfield Town 2-0 on Saturday evening in the Premier League fixture.
Merson told Sky Skports: "I think City will win this as I just do not see how Chelsea defensively can keep them quiet on their ground and the way they pass and move it.
Commenting on the Fulham vs Man United game, Merson said: "I can't see anything other than a United win, they will have too much for Fulham.
On the Huddersfield vs Arsenal game, Merson said: "I'm going to go for Arsenal, but I would not be shocked if they did not win because defensively, Arsenal are just not good enough.
"And sooner or later, something has got to happen at Huddersfield, they have to have an all-out go now, it is pointless coming away from this game with a draw. Before the game, a draw would be a good result.

Full Frame: Dina Is Earning Acclaim for Its Portrait of Love and Autism. But Is It Illuminating or Exploitative?

Full Frame Documentary Film Festival:
Carolina Theatre, Durham
It speaks to the high quality of Full Frame that the films in its perennial programming range in quality from "above average" to "transcendent." Any chagrin is typically reserved for experimental submissions that might not suit the taste of some viewers or docs that delve into controversial subject matter. You certainly don't see many missteps among the invited films—the ones not in competition but chosen due to the pedigree of the director or the film's previous accolades.
Foremost among the invited fare at Full Frame this year was Dina, winner of the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for documentaries at this year's Sundance Film Festival. At the Full Frame screening Friday evening, there was a spirited atmosphere in the packed house, including a number of other filmmakers overheard throughout the day eagerly anticipating the screening. A few patrons arrived clad in faux furs and clasping filled wine goblets. But one hundred minutes and no fewer than twenty walkouts later, Dina proved a discomforting, exasperating exercise.
The film's main subjects are Dina Buno and her fiancé, Scott Levin, an adult couple with autism living in a Philadelphia suburb. The narrative follows the forty-nine-year-old Dina and Scott through their impending nuptials, including the wedding planning, a bachelorette party, and a lot of self-doubt. Although it's seemingly cinéma vérité, the footage is shot and edited so that the end product resembles an indie dramedy, complete with an eclectic soundtrack.
Directors Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini clearly come from a place of deep affection. According to press reports, Sickles has known Dina most of his life, since his father cofounded an organization for developmentally challenged adults, of which Dina is a long-time member. Unfortunately, that familiarity seems to blind the filmmakers to the objective perception of their portrayal. The film's incessant whimsy is grounded in all the "funny" things Dina, Scott, and their autistic friends say and do, whether it's karaoke, the Macarena, or recounting their history of masturbation. There are copious scenes of Dina and Scott prattling like an old married couple. In these and elsewhere, Dina fails the "but for" test: content that's largely unremarkable but for the fact that it's being conveyed by people with a disability.
Sickles and Santini were not present Friday, so it fell to a member of the post-production filmmaking team to parry a probing post-screening Q and A session. He insisted that the film's content was a collaborative effort between the directors and Dina, who apparently has a theatrical background not elucidated in the film. However, he had difficulty squaring Dina's collaborative awareness with the fact that her cognitive abilities are such that, as noted in the film, she's eligible for disability benefits. He also equivocated when asked what Dina's parents thought about the film.
When pressed further, the filmmaker admitted that many scenes were prearranged by the directors and Dina for narrative impact. While he said the dialogue in every scene was spontaneous and genuine, it's worth considering how staged settings might affect the interaction between people who are aware of the scene's narrative purpose. It also skews close to the sort of docu-fiction that spawns pitched debates in the doc community.
The filmmakers sifted through many hours of footage to arrive at the story in Dina. One wonders if there's a better film still out there, one that eschews the eccentricities and instead emphasizes Dina's struggle and triumph over the adversities of her condition and her traumatic history with romantic relationships. The picture we're given feels incomplete and exploitative.

thnx alot..u are absolutly right..i hveing phoraise amost 13 year..i just try omega 3 nd sitting on sunshin..nd its nt growing up nw..thnx for let me know more about this.
I have a question...what is the difference between vitamin D and vitamin D3? I have P on hands and scalp. I have tried Humira and Enbrel and had terrible results with them especially the Enbrel.my doctor wants to put me on Stelara and I have decided I am going to try to control my P with diet. reading some of the suggestions on here are giving me hope that I can do this.
thank you very much for the info...so this may sound stupid but is it better to take vit D or vit D3? I am so happy to have found this site...I have started the diet this week...all ready starting eliminate as much sugar as possible and no diet products and little dairy...good luck to everyone!!
Instead of taking omega 3 tablets(or fish), you can use ground flax seeds in your breakfast. Get a 'Hamilton-Beach' 'Coffee' Grinder and use it to grind sesame seeds and flax seeds and add it to your oatmeal or whatever you eat in the morning. Also flax has an enormous amount of fiber, which is a great bonus.
You can have a doctor test you to see if you are deficient in D or take a low dose of D3.

FDA Scientist Questions Need for COX-2 Drugs
By Susan Heavey and Lisa Richwine
WASHINGTON (Reuters) Feb 17 - A veteran U.S. Food and Drug Administration scientist on Thursday said he saw no need for COX-2 inhibitors, citing increased vascular risks.
The presentation by David Graham, associate director for science and medicine at the FDA's Office of Drug Safety, came on the second day of an unusual three-day meeting called by the FDA after Merck & Co. pulled Vioxx (rofecoxib) from the market in late September. The recall was prompted by a study showing the drug doubled the risk of MI and stroke.
The FDA, which has come under fire in recent months as being slow to respond to serious side effects of drugs, is asking an advisory panel if COX-2 inhibitors offer enough benefits to stay on the market, if they need stronger warnings, and if further research is needed.
Graham said he saw a "class effect" of heart risk from the COX-2 inhibitors, and it appeared greater with higher doses. But he told the panel of FDA advisers that each drug should be evaluated individually.
"The bottom line conclusion I came to is there really doesn't appear to be a need for COX-2 (inhibitors)... I believe there is a cardiovascular effect and it's dose related," Graham told an FDA advisory panel.
Graham, who is regarded as a maverick for his forthright criticism of the FDA's ability to monitor the safety of drugs once they are on the market, presented preliminary, unpublished findings from his review of records of patients in California covered by the Medicaid health insurance program for the poor.
The data showed Celebrex (celecoxib) likely increases the chances of heart attacks when taken at higher doses, but Bextra (valdecoxib) does not appear to carry that risk at its approved doses of up to 20 mg. He said the Bextra findings were based on a small amount of data.
Graham's review linked Celebrex to a "probable increased risk" of heart attacks in higher doses, but "no apparent effect" if patients take 200-mg doses or less. Celebrex is sold at doses of 100 mg, 200 mg and 400 mg.
Graham's study also showed Vioxx had a "definite" increased risk of heart attacks in patients who took doses higher than 25 mg, but Graham said the risk begins early and is "apparent during days 1-30 of use."Merck had said that the study that led it to withdraw the drug had shown that the risk only occurred after 18 months of continuous use.
A spokesman for privately held Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Mobic, said the company had "taken a look at our post-marketing data and see nothing to indicate excessive cardiovascular risk."Mobic is marketed in the United States by Abbott Laboratorie
Graham also said the NSAID Mobic (meloxicam), which has become popular since the Vioxx recall, showed an "increased risk" for heart attacks in preliminary data.Merck officials said on Wednesday that the heart risks found with Vioxx were a problem
for all drugs in the class of COX-2 inhibitors. That clashed with comments by rival Pfizer, which said the heart attack and stroke risks reported with Vioxx appeared "distinct" among the COX-2 class.
Graham's data was culled from California's Medicaid program, called Medi-Cal, that looked at more than 15,000 heart attack patients. The study is awaiting publication.
The panel is scheduled to hear later Thursday from Novartis and Merck officials as well as other FDA staff. Another 54 public speakers are also scheduled to speak before the meeting ends on Friday.

For certain reasons I can't go into details but Merck murdered my father!! So, I feel your pain. Civil cases are one thing but they should pay like any other criminal. So, hopefully the investigations into Merck will continue and justice will be done. I wish peace and comfort to all who have lost a love one due to vioxx.
