The Battle of Sarangpur was fought between Rana Kumbha and Sultan Mahmud Khilji. Mahpa Panwar, who was one of the assassins of Rana Mokal, was sheltered by the Sultan of Mandu. A demand for this person was made by Rana Kumbha, but Mahmud Khilji refused to surrender the refugee. The Rana prepared for hostilities and advanced to attack Mandu. The Sultan advanced with a powerful army to meet Kumbha.

Battle
The two armies met in A.D. 1437 and after a severe engagement, the Sultan's army was utterly routed. The Sultan fled to the refuge of his fort of Mandu. The Rana's army followed up the victory and laid siege to Mandu. When the Sultan was hard-pressed, he told Mahpa Panwar that he could keep him no longer. Mahpa thus fled to Gujarat. Kumbha stormed and took the fort. Ranmal's forces captured Sultan Mahmud Khilji, his army fleeing in all directions. The Rana returned to Chittor bringing the Sultan captive with him.

Aftermath
To commemorate this great victory, Rana Kumbha built the great Vijay Stambha(Tower of Victory) in the fortress of Chittor. However, before this tower could be completed, the Rana had to face and vanquish the combination of the two most powerful kingdoms in India at the time, those of Gujarat and Malwa, these glorious events are inscribed on the celebrated tower. Sultan Mahmud Khilji remained a prisoner in Chittor for a period of six months, after which he was liberated without ransom by Rana Kumbha.

Rita comes to Houston
I've only been to Houston a few times, usually just pausing at the airport on my way somewhere else. It's a huge city, made rich by energy and aerospace, and it lies just 60 miles from the Gulf, where Hurricane Rita is fast approaching.
We have two '58 classmates in Houston, Jim Hollis and Helen Young. I am hoping they are safe tonight, either headed away from the storm or hunkered down somewhere with family and friends.
Most of the U.S. population lives in coastal areas, even though they are far more dangerous than inland locations. We are in a more active hurricane cycle now, and the damage is made worse by rising costs and larger populations.
In truth, we ought to have a national no-build zone of 25-30 miles, to preserve coastal wetlands and barrier islands, which absorb the killer storm surges. But folks with boats and beach houses don't want to hear that. (You don't agree? Let's hear comments!)

First we had tourism, then ecotourism, and now agritourism. Visits to Illinois and staying at family farms has become a new trend in the travel industry, according to an August 21 story in the Los Angeles Times.
The story cites three locations, in Nauvoo, Rantoul, and Belleville, but doubtless many others exist. Check out the Illinois Tourism site for suggested stays and getaways this fall.

Land and Books
The Library of Congress has a new exhibition, Language of the Land: Journeys into Literary America, and the website version features four regions, Northeast, South, Midwest, and West.
For those who still live in the Midwest, or miss it a little, or don't miss it at all, I urge you to take a look at the images and texts gathered to celebrate that chunk of our mid-continent.
The pictures shown here are some I took on a June visit to southwest Wisconsin, the Uplands or Driftless Region. The country church was the site of a Welsh chapel sing, where the congregation sang in Welsh and in four-part harmony.
Jerry Johnson suffered a massive heart attack on August 23. During a few days of pre-op medication, he had a second, smaller attack and went on a respirator. On September 1, he had triple bypass surgery. A day later he was sitting up, eating spoon food, and preparing for intensive therapy before he goes home.
Jerry attended Dubois School. At SHS he was active in Wranglers and played as trombonist for the Starduster dance band. (second row, far right). He married Ivy Levchenko in 1960 and spent his career with Greyhound, retiring as a district manager. Ivy worked for the PGA in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. They moved to the Asheville, NC area to enjoy mountain living. Their daughter, Cathy Nines, lives nearby in Weaverville and works for the Mountain Area Health Education Center, where Ivy also worked for eight years.
Jerry is a fan of the SHS pages and has sent me several pictures of souvenirs, including the Senators pin on our home page. For a hobby he makes cool knit caps and sells them on eBay. Here he is modeling one under his handle, J Malo, though he could easily pass for Ernest Hemingway.
You may send notes or cards to his e-mail or postal addresses, both listed on our Directory, or just leave a get-well comment here. Jerry is a great guy, full of fun and good humor. For all of us, I wish him a speedy recovery.

But yesterday she decided to be nosey.
Clean and fresh she could not stay.
Came up covered in POO!!
Yesterday we thought we were going to have a lovely relaxing afternoon, take the dogs to the field to play, go for a nice walk and back in for a warm cozy evening. Josie had other plans for us. Instead we spent some time in the dog wash, the walk over was very amusing (wish I had pictures). It was as though DH and Josie were doing a dance. DH was doing everything to avoid coming in contact with her! I don't know what kind of poo it was but it was the foul-est I've ever smelt!
On a sweeter note....Noah is 6 weeks! For his six week celebration he decided to sleep for 6 hours this morning (morning being from 12:30 AM to 6:30 AM)! Yahoo!!!
Almost 6 hours is amazing. although he still does not look like he is awake yet. What a darling baby boy. Give him hugs & kisses from his birth family.
It must have been a night that all babies were sleeping better. Brooke went frm 8:30 to 6:30! I feel great today! Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.
Hi Jenn, I am also Jenn! I have been reading your blog for awhile but I don't think I have ever left a comment. I just wanted to say congrats, and I love reading all about your journey! We have been matched and our babies due date is today, but no news! I love the sleeper you have on him in this post. I got the same one at my baby shower, and can't wait to put it on our son!

Q: How to prove that a function from N to Z is bijective I'm trying to prove that $\mathbb{N}\sim\mathbb{Z}$ and I think that by proving a function exists between $f(\mathbb{N})=\mathbb{Z}$ (that is onto and $1$-$1$) would show this.
However I'm at a loss at how to show this and I am wondering if someone could help me get a proof form of this?

A: Consider $k \mapsto k/2$ for $k$ even, and $k \mapsto -(k+1)/2$ for $k$ odd.

Cover Description:
An elite team of special agents faces off against an ancient and bizarre race of creatures whose millennia-long attempt to enslave humanity have given rise to man's ancient legends of shape-shifting monsters and demons!
For over one thousand years, the forces of the Aragami have been held in check by a steady diet of human sacrifices, but now the bonds have been broken and its up to the elite agents of the TAC to take on mankind's oldest enemies, whose ability to impregnate, mutate, and control almost any living creature make them the most deadly of adversaries.
To combat an enemy who can attack anywhere, anytime, without notice will require the most talented agents from around the world and every resource modern civilization can provide, from high-tech super-computers and chemical weapons to plain old bazookas.
The most dangerous items in the TAC's arsenal, however, are the two special human weapons. Joining the agents in their battle are Momiji Fujimiya, a young Japanese teenager whose traumatic implantation with an unborn Aragami, a 'blue seed', has left her with enhanced psychic abilities, and Mamoru Kusanagi, orange skinned, cat-eyed former servant of the Aragami who rebels against the will of his masters to use his super-human powers to protect Momiji!
The ultimate destiny of the planet earth will be decided once and for all!
Addictive till the final episodes. >>> by skysenshi
Before I begin my commentary on the main parts of Blue Seed, I would just like to commend its creators for the humor they have injected in the Omake Theater (extras at the end of every volume). Three most notable of these fascinating mini-stories, which have no relation whatsoever to the actual storyline, are the overview of Kome's puppy love, the heart-rending "The Day of Sugishita", and the Cinderella-ish "Grandma Go Go". I have never looked forward to a volume's ending as much as I did with Blue Seed's presentations.
That aside, I must admit that the first episode of Blue Seed didn't really strike me as a must-see. The artwork certainly isn't something remarkable, nor is the animation that spectacular. On top of that, what I'm writing about is the English Dub, so any Blue Seed fan would understand if I bashed Momiji's annoying high-pitched squeal--err, voice--to the high heavens. Needless to say, voice acting is very important in defining a character's personality. After hearing Momiji's whining tune, I was convinced that there is nothing to the character design that would make me want to finish all 26 episodes in one night.
I was wrong. The second episode had me changing my mind. The more I learned about Kusanagi, his connection with the dreaded Aragami, and his eventual softening towards our central figure, the more I loved every minute of every episode that followed. It takes a while getting used to the other characters, though, but once you go beyond first impressions, you'll discover that they aren't as bad as their English voice actors portray them to be. I should warn young impressionable readers about something, however: Blue Seed is dripping with so many one-sided love affairs, it actually hurts to watch those people involved! Especially when some of them are featured in the Omake I mentioned above. (My heart cried: "Poor Sugishita! You don't deserve to lose to an old fossil!") The main love triangle, on the other hand, reminds me somewhat of the newer anime Inu-Yasha. It's a Kikyo-Inuyasha-Kagome triangle, to be precise. It must hurt a lot to forever be in the shadow of someone so perfect, someone who is of the same image as yourself but so much more magnificent in so many ways...
Somewhere along the way, you'll realize that Blue Seed is about the struggle for ecological balance--that the myth of the god Susano-oh and his wife Kushinada is a symbolic representation of the human psyche. To be exact, this happens in the 13th episode, where the legend becomes twisted and conflict sets in. Blue Seed suddenly becomes something more than your regular cheesy comedy series. It metamorphoses into an anime that beckons a subtle philosophical analysis. For this alone, my scales have tipped tremendously in its favor. I would recommend this title for those who are looking for something light yet not totally lacking in depth and for those who are after feel-good endings.

Le Toux ready to continue haunting Sounders
Lost in expansion draft, Le Toux adds winning to scoring in Philadelphia
Former Sounder Sebastien Le Toux evolved into a dangerous scorer for the Philadelphia Union. / MLS.com
As a Frenchman, he was too polite to say how he really feels about the Seattle Sounders other than to acknowledge his former team is full of quality players and is one of the stronger clubs in the league.
But come Saturday make no mistake about it: Sebastien Le Toux will push every muscle fiber, seek every advantage and search for just a sliver of space to knock the ball into the back of Seattle's net.
"They have a lot of quality players," Le Toux told Sportspress Northwest. "I know most of them. I know they are good and they are going to come here to get something. We are ready for that, and we know what we need to do to get three points. I will try my best to win the game."
After being unprotected by the Sounders in the 2009 MLS Expansion Draft, Le Toux was selected by the Philadelphia Union. The change, which at first seemed like exile on the island of Elba, was transforming. Le Toux emerged last season as one of the premier offensive stars in Major League Soccer.
His achievements last year were simply stunning for someone who wasn't even starting in Seattle the previous year: he racked up 14 goals and 11 assists –the highest combined total in the league. He set an MLS record for percentage involvement in his club's goals at 71.4 percent. He was selected to the MLS All-Star game and started against Manchester United.
At the conclusion of the season, Le Toux was named to the 2010 MLS Best XI. He also won the MLS Individual Fair Play Award after receiving no cards all season.
He is quite possibly the hardest working player in the MLS — a trait that certainly endeared him to the fans in Seattle and which has certainly captured the hearts of the Union supporters.
Ever diplomatic, Le Toux gushed about his experience in Seattle, and he said to be part of its inaugural season in the MLS was special.
"I love the city. The fans were great," he said. "I really enjoyed my time in Seattle. Here, it's still building, but I really enjoyed my season last year."
Indeed. And the start to this season isn't too shabby, either. Le Toux has been relatively quiet and has yet to score a goal. But the Union sits atop the Eastern Conference with nine points and a 3-1-0 record, having defeated MLS Cup favorites New York Red Bulls 1-0 last week.
No one could have predicted the Union standing atop the conference, but it is still early in the season. Le Toux said the strong start, so far, can be attributed to the core group of players knowing each other better. Some of the new player acquisitions have really helped shore up the defense — particularly signing Colombian National team goalie Faryd Mondragon–and Colombian centerback Carlos Valdes.
But Mondragon — the league's top goalie with three shutouts –has been key, said Le Toux. The 39-year-old Colombian, who has played for big European clubs, brings veteran leadership to the young club. He sets a high standard that everyone follows, Le Toux said.
"He brings great mentality. He played in the national team, two World Cups," Le Toux said. "He played in Europe, in Germany and in Spain. He's a great character and he really wants to do his best every day.
"The defense will listen to him," Le Toux said. "He's got a very good charisma. He gets respect from everybody. And no one argues when he starts to yell."
One of the goals for the Union entering the 2011 season, Le Toux said, was to improve the team's overall defense. The Union gave up 49 goals last year — only New England conceded more. Some of that can be attributed to Philadelphia having to play part of the first half of the season on the road while PPL Park was being built.
"We tried to work hard on defense– we gave up too many goals last year," Le Toux said. "We have three shutouts, which is amazing. We now all have a defensive responsibility. The formation we play is different than last year, but we will keep the same concentration defensively."
The goals are still lacking, he concedes, as the Union's offense is still looking for its best combination. The Union purchased Carlos Ruiz, a well-known goal-scoring poacher, who is still assimilating into the squad. But the goals will come, Le Toux says. "Carlos is getting better in the progression of the game we play," he said. "I'm sure we will score more goals."
For the Union, it's a matter of maintaining this momentum. Nobody thought the Union would lead the Eastern Conference, particularly with all the attention showered on the Red Bulls and their star-studded lineup.
"It doesn't surprise me," he said. "We know our quality. We know ourselves. It's too early now to say we are the best. We try to take game after game."

Frank Oleynick's nickname, or what the Sonics PR guys tried to nickname him, was "Magic". Funny, it didn't stick. One last thought concerning Aaron Curry — he has a strong resemblance to man with the special powers in "Green Mile".
crumudgeon
You should do a similar piece called "worst trades". Remember the Sonics trading away Dennis Johnson to Phoenix for Paul Westphaul? What about the Vin Baker deal? What about Milton Bradley?
Pixel13
Given where he was picked, you have to include Rick Mirer in the 'bust' list. The fact he played in the # games he did is purely attributable to how desperate the Seahawks were for a QB.
@ crumudgeon: Milton Bradley deal doesn't at all belong in a 'worst trades' list. When you trade one worthless cancer for another, it's a wash. Mariners made many far worse trades. One sample: Jason Varitek and Derek Lowe for Heathcliff Slocumb.
I'd never heard of the Andre Hines thing. I didn't start following the Hawks until 84. That is CRAZY.
1coolguy
Pretty tough to win when the defense and special teams puts the O in such a hole. UW is ranked 93rd of 120 D-1 teams, ugh. Sure wish we'd at least make a fight of it – have the players given up on Holt?

Honesdale, PA – Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County gave 'welcome' a whole new meaning as they welcomed another family into their home earlier this month.
Richard and Michelle Dugan have started their move into their new home with their daughter. Michelle took time during the dedication to thank Habitat for giving their family this opportunity. They pledged to remain active with the organization in the future. Board Members, volunteers, friends, and members of the Dugan family were also in attendance.
The family was presented with a Bible and quilt from St. John's Lutheran Church, an American flag, mailbox and voter registration form, and a homeowners' manual. Lastly, the family was presented with the keys to their new home by Connie Petraitis, Habitat Board Member.
Many volunteers put in countless hours to make these homes possible for residents of the Wayne County community. Annual fundraisers and events are held throughout the year to raise funds for the builds, including a giant yard sale in June, a 5K in August, and a dinner in February which is coming up on February 17, 2017 at Silver Birches on Lake Wallenpaupack. You can find out more about local fundraising events on their website - www.hfhwcpa.org or by visiting their Facebook page - Wayne County PA Habitat for Humanity.
Habitat for Humanity of Wayne County is in its 26th year of providing a decent house in a decent community for God's people in need. Their work allows partner families to purchase the constructed or refurbished homes, financed by a 0% mortgage from Habitat. As they look forward to future projects, volunteers are welcomed. For more information, please call 570-251-8115.

'Whatever it takes' should now include a universal basic income
by Jeremy Baskin, The Conversation
G20 leaders have pledged to do "whatever it takes" to minimise the impacts of COVID-19.
Most of these nations are lumbered with welfare safety nets unfit for purpose. They are designed for last century, with a binary way of thinking about employment that's no longer the experience of casual, contract and gig workers.
The limitations are being thoroughly exposed by a crisis further blurring the line between having or not having work.
A simple solution is a universal basic income—a regular payment to every adult, no questions asked.
Binary thinking
The deficiencies of current welfare nets have been demonstrated in Australia over the past week. The nation's social security system has been in meltdown as hundreds of thousands make new claims for government assistance.
There have been massive queues at Centrelink offices. The government's MyGov website has crashed and phone calls have gone unanswered.
These problems are more than logistical. They are also ideological, reflecting how the system has been conceived. It requires people to jump through bureaucratic hoops, filling in forms and providing documents and financial statements. It judges need according to a binary (employed-unemployed) way of thinking, with processes that are punitive and complex.
No conditions attached
The universal basic income (UBI) is a well-developed idea to address these problems with existing social security regimes.
The basic idea is to make a regular cash payment to all adult individuals, no conditions attached. The intention is to ensure the welfare safety net reflects the fact many more people in informal, casual, part-time, portfolio, irregular and self-employed work face financial stress despite technically being employed. Everyone gets the means for a basic existence regardless of their employment situation.
Limited trials have occurred in Finland, Kenya and Canada. These have generally found recipients are happier and not disincentivised to look for work, a common criticism of the concept.
Unemployment spiking
The most common criticism of the universal basic income is its cost. But now, with the need for income support spiking and governments adopting a "whatever it takes" approach to spending to keep economies afloat, this argument is not compelling.
The scale of the economic challenge is demonstrated by Australia's unemployment predictions for the next six months jumping from 7% a week ago to 11%. Government Services Minister Stuart Robert this week acknowledged the decision to close businesses had left "maybe a million people unemployed overnight". That million, on top of 700,000 already unemployed, would take the jobless rate above 12%.
In truth, much like the trajectory of the coronavirus, no estimates can be relied upon at this stage, other than to say unemployment levels will be very high. Along with pensioners and other welfare recipients, this means government financial support will be crucial for a significant proportion of households.
How it might work
The advantage of a universal basic income scheme, especially now, is that it is simple and easily understandable.
This is how it might work in Australia.
It would be run through the Australian Taxation Office, not Centrelink. A direct payment would be made fortnightly into the bank account of all adult Australian citizens and permanent residents over 18 years and no longer at school.
The money would be taxable income, so the tax office would recoup a significant portion from higher earners. For now, it could exclude those over 65 years for whom long-standing pension and retirement systems exist and which we may not want to meddle with at this time.
Ballpark estimates
Australia's United Workers Union (representing workers in hospitality, health, aged care, supermarket supply, cleaning and other exposed sectors) has advocated a universal basic income equivalent to the minium wage – A$740 a week.
But I'm going to make some ballpark calculations based on an emergency universal basic income payment of A$550 a fortnight.
This is equal to the bonus the Australian government is giving job seekers during the crisis (double their usual payment).
To extend this to 7.65 million eligible Australians would cost about A$55 billion over six months. The government would recoup a portion of this, though, through income tax and being able to suspend some (but not all) existing welfare payments.
That compares with almost A$84 billion—about 3.5% of GDP—in spending already announced by the Australian government. About A$24 billion of this is for payments to welfare recipients, with the lion's share directed to business and industry.
At a time of economic crisis unprecedented in our lifetimes, an innovative approach like a universal basic income could be an essential, simple, confidence-boosting and popular response.

Bonjour! Share your passion for speaking and teaching French.
French teachers are in demand in BC schools.
The BC Ministry of Education offers a bursary for teacher candidates who complete more than 55% of their coursework in French.
We encourage teacher candidates who have been accepted into the 2019/20 BEd Program to participate in a three-week French language and culture immersion program in Quebec City on July 1 to 18, 2019.
Teacher candidates who have been accepted into the 2019/20 BEd Program may apply for a one-time bursary of $2,000 to participate in the Institut de Français, UBC à Québec.
This cohort is designed for teacher candidates who wish to specialize in teaching French as a second language (French immersion, Intensive French, Core French) or French as a first language (in a Francophone school) at the elementary level. Most courses are delivered and assignments are completed in French. This allows teacher candidates to continue to develop their proficiency while in the program.
Practicum placements are in Burnaby, Delta, Langley, North Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey, Vancouver, or West Vancouver schools.
French Immersion (Early and Late): Teach subject content in French starting in Kindergarten or Grade 1 (early), or Grade 6 (late).
Intensive French: Teach French in an intensive immersion-like semester in Grade 6 and daily instruction in Grade 7.
Francophone Schools: Teach subject content in French within the Conseil Scolaire Francophone.
Dual Track Schools: Teach a combination of Core French and French Immersion.
Please note, students who passed the former French Language Assessment (FLA) since August 2016 will be accepted based on the current DELF/DALF equivalencies.
When enrolled in the Secondary French Specialist option, most of the classes are taught in French; as well, practica occur in French immersion, in regular schools offering Core French, or in Francophone schools.
Learning content in French allows teacher candidates to continue to develop their French proficiency during the year. Teacher candidates may combine French with another teaching subject concentration (e.g., Spanish or Biology).
French Immersion: Teach subject content in French.
Core French: Teach French as a subject among general subjects in the regular English program.
Please note, students who have passed the French Language Assessment (FLA) within two years of applying to the BEd program, will be accepted based on the current DELF/DALF equivalencies.
French immersion option is available for the following teachable subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, History, Geography, Social Science, Mathematics, and French language and literature.
In all teachable subjects, students must complete a minimum of 6 credits of French or English Literature and Composition.
Applicants wishing to teach French language and literature are required to satisfy academic requirements for French as a teachable subject.
Specific secondary academic courses and experience with youth (13 to 17 years old).
This year, these courses are fully funded by a grant from the BC Ministry of Education to support French BEd teacher candidates in their language development. There is no extra fee to participate; these courses are above and beyond the regular BEd program credits.
Registration for Gramligne will be available from April 15 to 30, 2019.
A bi-annual event that brings together French teacher candidates and educators. This weekend of fun-filled weekend of activities will be hosted in French.
French language immersion in the heart of Quebec City. This is a three-week immersion program for teachers.
Pour les enseignants des programmes d'immersion ou francophones, de français de base ou intensif.
Ce cours basé sur des textes communicatifs dans différents discours (narratif, argumentatif, descriptif, etc.) permet d'observer et de comprendre le fonctionnement des structures linguistiques au service de la communication. Il vous permettra de comprendre les mécanismes de la langue, d'améliorer vos connaissances linguistiques et métalinguistiques et vous montrera comment enseigner la grammaire de façon communicative.
How good does my French have to be to enroll in the French Teacher Education Program?
UBC provides opportunities for students starting at the DELF B1 level of French to qualify to teach secondary Core French and DELF B1 to qualify for elementary French Immersion.
In order to assess your level, you will need to take the DELF or DALF French proficiency test.
Please note, students who passed the former French Language Assessment (FLA) since August 2016 will be accepted based on the current DELF/DALF equivalencies.Click here for a description of each level.
*Please note that, for elementary immersion B1 results, a minimum score of 15 on each part. This is not required for secondary core French B1 results.
Where can I take the DELF or DALF exam?
When are DELF/DALF exam sessions held?
There are three sittings: March, June or November at the Alliance française Vancouver or at any other testing centre in Canada or the world.
Please note that a special March sitting of the DELF/DALF will be offered to teacher education program applicants by the Alliance française in Vancouver but will not be posted on its website. An application form will be posted here in January or you can contact info@alliancefrancaise.ca to receive one.
What are my options if I want to be an elementary French immersion teacher but my DELF result is A2 when I apply?
We recommend taking more than one DELF assessment during the week you choose (in November, March or June). The minimum level to be in the elementary French immersion stream is B1; however, the higher your proficiency result, the more competitive your file will be, so we suggest taking both the B1 and B2 assessment during the same week.
The program prepares you to teach in any French second language context, and you will not only have opportunities to improve your French, you may retake the DELF at various points during the year (November, March and June), if you wish. If you achieve a higher level, you can include the most recent DELF certificate in your documentation when applying for teaching positions.
Will I have the opportunity to improve my French while doing my BEd at UBC?
Yes, you will have many opportunities to use and improve your French language skills.
The majority of courses are offered in French and you will have the opportunity to speak with your colleagues, professors and advisors in French as well as complete assignments in French.
UBC has adopted the Portfolio langagier professionel to support the continued language and professional development of each teacher candidate.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to do your Community Field Experience in a Francophone community (in Canada or abroad).
You will have a practicum experience in a Core French, French immersion or French Program classroom (starting with weekly visits, then a 2-week and a 10-week practicum).
There will also be opportunities to take part in specially designed workshops and weekend events, such as Séjour UBC, focused on developing language, cultural knowledge, and pedagogical practices.
Est-ce que les francophones doivent passer l'examen DELF ou DALF?
No, si vous êtes titulaire d'un diplôme d'une université francophone et que votre relevé de notes est en français, vous n'avez pas besoin de passer l'examen DELF/DALF.
All UBC French teacher candidates are eligible to receive a bursary. The only criterion is that you are enrolled in a French program for teachers or teacher candidates and that at least 55% of your courses are taught in French.
Unfortunately, WKTEP students are not eligible to receive the BC Ministry of Education French Bursary.
What is the amount of the bursary?
The bursary amount is up to $1,600 and depends on allocation guidelines set out by the BC Ministry of Education.
When can I apply for a bursary?
There will be an opportunity to apply for the government bursary at the start of your program. Bursaries are dispersed by UBC Enrolment Services in the fall when course registration information is received and language of instruction percentages are calculated.
Are other bursaries available for French teachers?
You may be eligible for other bursaries through UBC.
Are there opportunities to do the Community Field Experience in a French-speaking community?
Yes, UBC has partnerships with organizations in Quebec as well as overseas.
If you have more questions, contact Susan Ankenman at french.educ@ubc.ca.
My love of languages, in particular, French, led me to spend a year in Quebec City at Laval University, then to complete a bachelor's degree in French at UBC, followed by a Certificat en enseignement des langues secondes from UQAM. After teaching Core French and French Immersion for many years at the intermediate and junior secondary school level in Delta, BC, I returned to UBC to complete a Masters in Modern Languages Education. In my current role, I support the continued language development of French teacher candidates, not only as instructor of French Oral language Support, but also through initiatives like the bi-annual immersion weekend, Séjour UBC. In addition, as French Programs Administrator for the Faculty of Education, I have the pleasure of promoting and supporting French teacher education.

ECH seeking balance in tech and human touch for social connection apps
Technology has a great capacity to keep older Australians in their homes longer – which is what most of them want – but a balance with the need for human connection is crucial, ECH chief executive David Panter says.
Half a year on from the company's acquisition of Melbourne tech start-up Billy, Adelaide-based ECH says it is looking at the development of social connection apps, with Dr Panter saying the COVID-19 crisis has put a sharp focus on issues such as social isolation and anxiety.
ECH initially invested $5m into Billy, developed by siblings Tim and Melissa McDougall in 2018.
The start-up, which launched two years earlier and was also backed by a $1m seed funding round led by health insurer HCF, uses discrete sensors in a person's home which are used to build up a profile of their daily activities.
A change in routines, such as a fall in the number of times the refrigerator is opened or the toilet is used, for example, is flagged to family members or others who have been granted access to the app.
Room temperatures are also monitored, and while the system, provided on a subscription basis to users, is not a replacement for a medical alert system, it provides peace of mind to family members and helps people stay in independent living longer, Dr Panter says.
The Billy team joined ECH as part of the acquisition, and the aged-care provider now has a strong tech capability.
Dr Panter, also formerly chief executive of the Central Adelaide Local Health Network, which covers Adelaide's major hospitals such as the Royal Adelaide Hospital, said that as a not-for profit, ECH was not intending to evolve into a tech company but would look to continue to innovate in its field.
"ECH is determined to make real change in the industry through the investment of technology, as we believe it is a great enabler in helping us to deliver on our purpose to support older people to remain living confidently and independently at home for as long as they wish,'' he said.
"When used correctly, technology can create positive change.
"We have seen recently during COVID-19 restrictions how technology can be used to support older people and help them remain connected.
"We have some strong in-house digital skills and where possible will look to build on our technology portfolio internally.
"For example, we are currently looking at the development of social connections apps as we have seen the effects of COVID-19 has led to increased social isolation and anxiety.''
Dr Panter said there were positive financial and health outcomes associated with keeping people living healthily and happily in their homes, and in returning them to their homes after surgery or other interventions which required hospitalisation or more support.
The monitoring of routines offered by Billy also enabled healthcare providers and aged care professionals to make early health interventions.
"Billy enables families to have clear visibility that daily routines of their loved ones are being undertaken through a simple-to-use app,'' Dr Panter said.
"The monitoring of daily tasks helps aged-care professionals to detect changes in behaviour over time which can enable preventive interventions to occur, helping to reduce overall decline in an individual's wellbeing.
"It is the ability to be able to apply preventive interventions that will enable care providers to drive better outcomes for their clients.''
While ECH was actively looking to use new technologies where appropriate, Dr Panter said social connection and human interaction could not be replaced.
"Our years of experience have shown us how important social connection is for older people,'' he said.
"While there is an expectation of greater use of technology there is also a real demand for human interaction. So, while we strongly believe technology will play a key role in the future it will never replace human contact.
"Getting the balance right is when everyone, clients, families and providers, will really benefit.''

Chief Justice defends SC over Rafale Case
Anam M 2 years, 11 months ago
Image Source: Facebook/Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi Fan page
"Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi defended the Supreme Court against the criticism it's been facing over the pending review in the Rafale case today.
Criticizing the lawyers in the case, Gogoi said that the review application was filed with defects and while it was lying with the registry, no effort had been made to remove those defects.
Former ministers Yashwant Sinha and Arun Shourie and lawyer Prashant Bhushan had gone to the SC last month for a review of its judgment that supported the government's decision-making process in purchasing Rafale fighter aircraft.
The petition said that the 14 December judgment relied on facts that were considered patently false and thus should be recalled.
It further disapproved SC's reliance on documents placed by the Centre in a sealed cover and a report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on the pricing issue in delivering its verdict, despite the fact that the audit is yet to be completed.
Calling it a notable error on the part of the court, the petition stated:
"The government has blatantly misled the honorable court, which has grossly erred in placing reliance on false averments in the note not even supported by an affidavit. As the judgment is based on evidently false averments in the note not shared with the petitioners, on that ground alone the entire judgment ought to be not just reviewed but recalled."
The judgment added that The Centre's submission had recorded that under paragraph 25 of the judgment, it stated that the pricing details were shared with the CAG and that the report was examined by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Only a revised portion of the report was placed before parliament.
Chief Justice Gogoi ruled: "In view of our findings on all the three aspects and having heard the matter in detail, we find no reason for any intervention by this court on the sensitive issue of purchase of 36 defense aircraft by the Indian government."

Incorporating Independents
Moral Foundations of Politics
Universidad de Yale
When do governments deserve our allegiance, and when should they be denied it? This course explores the main answers that have been given to this question in the modern West. We start with a survey of the major political theories of the Enlightenment: Utilitarianism, Marxism, and the social contract tradition. In each case, we begin with a look at classical formulations, locating them in historical context, but then shift to the contemporary debates as they relate to politics today. Next, we turn to the rejection of Enlightenment political thinking, again exploring both classical and contemporary formulations. The last part of the course deals with the nature of, and justifications for, democratic politics, and their relations to Enlightenment and Anti-Enlightenment political thinking. In addition to exploring theoretical differences among the various authors discussed, considerable attention is devoted to the practical implications of their competing arguments. To this end, we discuss a variety of concrete problems, including debates about economic inequality, affirmative action and the distribution of health care, the limits of state power in the regulation of speech and religion, and difficulties raised by the emerging threat of global environmental decay.
Excellent, thought-provoking course. I especially enjoyed the final week lectures that pulled it all together. Both should be required listening for both voters and politicians in democracies.
This was a phenomenal course that really motivated me to understand the moral foundations of arguments and systems of politics. I look forward to retaining my course material and studying it.
The Social Contract Tradition II
This module looks at classical formulations of the Social Contract Tradition, locating them in historical context, but then shifts to the contemporary debates as they relate to politics today.

Now, when we were discussing this last time, you repeatedly raised the question well, okay, but what, what about what's, normatively justified? What is it that people, what, what makes this legitimate? After all this is a course about what makes states legitimate. So we've, what we've done here is, is tell a causal story of sort of stylized facts about how a state would come about if, if it didn't exist, but you know, you could say that's neither here nor there. At the end of the day, we want to know if, whether it's a legitimate state. What makes a state legitimate? And for Nozick to, to square that circle, he has to talk about the concept of compensation. And it's, it's difficult and confusing partly for reasons that are Nozick's fault. So I'm going to try and give an exposition of it that gets behind the confusion, and you'll see what's really at stake. But intuitively before we dig into it, this is the basic idea. I said earlier, that while the independents are out there running around whether outside the borders as Al Qaeda or inside the borders as with Oklahoma City Bombers, we all live in some fear of them that reduces our utility, right? Once they have been neutralized, forced to join if you like, forced to accept the authority of the state, then our, our utility goes back up again, because we no longer live in fear of them. But of course their utility has gone down, because their rights have been violated, as you pointed out last time. If Nozick is a libertarian, you force him to join, you're violating their rights. There's no question about it. And Nozick doesn't want to deny that. But then he says, suppose society could compensate them for violating their rights. We could pay them compensation. Such that we would put them back on as high an indifference curve as they were before. Their utility goes back up. And we could still be better off than not having compensated them. Right? So, so then we can say in some sense what, what's happened is we've gone from what Nozick calls a de facto state to a de jure state. De facto is, is just empirical you know, what would have happened causally, which we've, we've now walked our way through. De jure is whether or not it's legitimate and a justified state, a legitimate state. So this idea of compensation for him is the bridge between the two, okay? So that's the, the intuitive idea. And I'm going to, I'm going to explain it in more detail, but that's the work he wants it to do. I think it's confusing for three reasons. One is, you might say, well, why compensation? And the compensation has to be important for him, because individual rights are so important for him, individual freedom. He's a libertarian. It's the paramount concern, right? So he's got to think about what could be done to compensate them since their rights have been violated. And it's confusing for a second reason. How are you going to compute the compensation? How are you going to decide what is it, what is it that's appropriate? You know, he's going to ask what would put. What basically would restore people to the status quo ante in terms of their utility. that's, that's basically his metric, but that still leaves a lot open about how you actually do it, right? And then finally what's, what's confusing is you say, well is the compensation actually going to be paid? Well, no. It's not going to be paid. Can you see why it wouldn't be paid? >> Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, I mean, you know, on, on, on one side you want to sort of make things better for taking away someone's rights, but you also don't want to get into the practice of encouraging people to, to rebel against the system, or to be independent. It's like you're paying somebody. >> Exactly. If I gave you the choice of either becoming a member and paying dues, or not becoming a member and being forced to join and being compensated. >> I'm [LAUGH] not going to join. >> You're not, so there's a moral hazard problem. So it's not actual, it's a hypothetical compensation test. Okay. So, you, you might find, be finding yourself a little skeptical of this, and there're some reasons for skepticism which I'm going to get into in a minute. But, but there's one more thing we have to get straight before they do that. Somebody might say, well, okay, I'll suspend my disbelief to this point. But there's still two possibilities. One is the one Nozick talks about. You ask a question, could the members compensate the inter, the independents for violating their rights by forcing them to join and still be better off? Yeah, but why couldn't you ask the opposite press question and say, what about asking the question, couldn't the independents compensate the members for their fear, and still be better off? Right? Why, why? Why I mean the analytically equivalent. >> Mm-hm. >> Whatever else you want to say about them, right? That if the, if the independents, if I'm the independent and I could compensate you for your fear of me, and still be better off not being forced to join, it, how do we choose between the two? >> Well one's a, one's a little bit difficult. I mean, if you're, if you're a regional power what authority do you have to sort of tax somebody that's outside your sphere of influence? >> So. >> How can you even do that? >> So you, so, I think that's exactly right. And that's why I started off with Kant's ought entails can, because what Nozick is going to say is, the, that the state could never ever count on being able to trust the, the independents to accept that status, right? This, from the point of view of the dominant protective association, or the state. Their problem is to convince their members that they really can deliver security, right? Remember, we talked about the Chicago gans gangster movies where you think you're buying protection for your store, and then one day somebody comes in that you've never seen before and busts up the joint and it turns out that you're. But that your, the people you're paying protection money to can't protect you, right? The state can't live with that possibility. And so another way of putting this is that the, the natural monopoly of force argument, puts a constraint on what can happen, right? It basically means, there's no way the independents are going to to be tolerated, right? So we don't, or in [INAUDIBLE], we don't have an obligation to tolerate them. We can't be obliged to tolerate people if it's impossible, right? So, so this is why the, the, the impossibility of the dominant protective association protecting its members while these people are out there, means they're not going to be tolerated. So, it's this [INAUDIBLE], so the, the natural monopoly of forced argument is the constraint that forces things in the direction of the minimal state, yeah? >> I have just one question. Do you think that this really taps into the question of secessionist movements in politics and the question of autonomy, self, self rule and who stays together? >> Secessionist movements. >> And who, who breaks up, if you look at political constellation of government. >> Yeah, well, remember when we talked about the natural monopoly of force argument, we posed the question, well if, if Nozick is right about that, why wouldn't there be a world government already? Right? And we said, what was the constraint? It's the technologies if available, technologies of force. So if a, if a secessionist movement is strong enough, it will break away. If it has enough coercive force in its mo, in its con, monopoly control, it will break away. But you know, if you look, say if you look at the, at the, at this American Civil War, in 1960, the South loses the election. They, they therefore decide to secede. And Lincoln says, what does he say? He said no. He says there's no right to secession in the constitution. You're not leaving, right? And they have a war about it. And if the South had won the war, they would have left, right? So, so, at the end of the day, it's coercion that triumphs secessionist claims. You know, you've got now, you know, you've got to have the, the fire power to actually make it happen, right? Yeah. And, and sometimes it will be unclear who has the power, right? And that's when you'll have a war, and it, it won't be clear until we see who wins the war. yeah. But in that sense, coercive force of, who can, who is able to exert coercive force over a given territory? They become the min, the ultra minimal state, and then when they incorporate any possible threats, they become the minimal state.

Royal Livingstone Blog
Picture this; the sun is setting over the African bush and you're watching a herd of elephants cross the country's great Zambezi River, while you enjoy a delicious spread of high tea. It sounds like a dream right? Well this dreamy vision becomes a reality when you visit The Royal Livingstone Hotel – a luxury hotel found on the border of Zambia.
Perched on the edge of Victoria Falls, this luxury hotel combines a five star service with unforgettable experiences in and around this breathtaking gorge.
With one of the Seven Wonders of the World right on your doorstep, The Royal Livingstone Hotel offers a once-in-a-lifetime African adventure. Here are some other need-to-know facts that might just lure you to this dream holiday destination!
The history of the falls
The Scottish explorer David Livingstone was the first person to discover Victoria Falls in 1855 and at the time, he named the great waterfall – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – in honour of Queen Victoria. Today, it's known both as Victoria Falls, as well as its indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, which translates to 'The Smoke that Thunders'. The local town of Livingstone was named after the explorer and so was the island – one of two landmasses that lies in the middle of the Zambezi River, which you can see from the hotel.
'Front row' views to the falls
Victoria Falls is simply amazing on all levels. At 108 metres high and 1,708 metres wide, it is one of the biggest waterfalls in the world. Guests of The Royal Livingstone Hotel can enjoy a refreshing drink on the sundeck, which overlooks the water and a fantastic array of wildlife. Every single guest room here has been built so it faces in the best direction, across the green forested banks towards the river, creating the ideal 'room with a view'. When the river is low, those feeling brave enough can plunge into Devil's Pool – a natural swimming pool created by a rock 'wall' - at the waterfall summit. You can take fantastic photos from up here and you'll feel like you're on top of the world!
'The Flight of the Angels'
If you want a bird's eye view of Victoria Falls, the hotel concierge can book you a Microlight flight over the Zambezi River and Batoka gorge. Dubbed the 'Flight of the Angels', you fly through the 'smoke' of the waterfall at a thrilling height and it's said that you'll feel like you've been 'kissed' by an angel. It makes for one of the most exhilarating and unforgettable experiences.
Three National Parks to explore
The Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park
Victoria Falls lies in the upper section of The Zambezi River and is set within The Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia. At 12km wide, it's quite small, so it's perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing safari experience. There's an option to explore the birdlife and wildlife from your own vehicle. Or you can take an organised game drive and spot zebra, giraffe, elephants, antelope and a variety of small animals. The Royal Livingstone Hotel is within the Park and animals have right of way through the grounds, so don't be surprised if a zebra or two roam past you in the hotel!
The Victoria Falls National Park
To the south of the hotel, The Victoria Falls National Park fringes the captivating falls and is home to a lush rainforest teeming with fantastic plant species and towering mahogany trees. In this national park, you can explore the area on foot or take a driving safari and spot buffalo, white rhinos, hippos, crocodiles and African elephants.
The Zambezi National Park
To the west of the falls, over the border to Zimbabwe, is The Zambezi National Park – a great place to see 'The Big Five'.
Rediscover the charm of rail travel
Imagine dining onboard a steam locomotive train where there's just a window separating you and the picturesque Zambezi Valley. This dream comes true when you book a ticket for The Royal Livingstone Express – a series of lovingly restored Pullman style coaches seeped in the nostalgia of a bygone era. This unique rail journey transports you to Victoria Falls Bridge just in time to see sunset and its first class dining carriages deliver the ultimate in luxury dining. Think silver cutlery, crystal glassware and crisp linens, with exquisite cuisine prepared by the Royal Livingstone Hotel chefs.
Indulge at The Royal Spa
To top off your luxury travel experience, guests who stay at The Royal Livingstone Hotel can indulge in The Royal Spa, which offers massages, facials, pedicures and other personalised treatments. The best bit is the location of their spa treatments, within a private tented gazebo. It looks right onto the Zambezi River so you can enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding scenery and passing wildlife. There's no other spa experience quite like it!
If adventure, luxury and spectacular African wildlife sound like the ingredients to your perfect holiday, let us make your dream come true!

Back in May the Korora team announced it would be taking a break and the project would not be publishing a new version based on Fedora 28. Since then a volunteer has stepped forward, offering a spin of Korora that is based on Fedora 28 and features the Xfce desktop. "A past contributor, JMiahMan, has produced a Xfce ISO based on Fedora 28 and including the usual Korora additions. There are more details on this Engage item. You might find this blog post interesting too. There are plans to produce ISOs of the other desktops once Xfce is sorted. So even if you don't use Xfce it would be helpful if you could test this system on a live system or in a VM. Remember these are community produced, beta releases and not designed for day to day use (yet!) so we don't recommend installing them on a production system." More details and intructions for leavign feedback can be found in the project's blog post.
