En frivillig brandkår (ofta förkortat FBK) är en brandkår vars medlemmar inte i första hand försörjer sig på brandmansverksamheten. I många länder sköts brandförsvaret i glesbygder i första hand genom frivilliga brandkårer, då detta arrangemang är mycket billigare än att ha avlönad personal. Också i städer kan det finnas frivillig brandkår, då ofta som komplement till en reguljär brandkår.

Brandmännen kan få lön eller ersättning till exempel för enskilda uppdrag, men är för sitt uppehälle inte beroende av brandkårsverksamheten. Eventuellt kan brandkåren ha viss anställd personal.

Den frivilliga brandkåren finansieras ofta genom avtal med kommunala eller regionala myndigheter och kan samla in medel som andra allmännyttiga föreningar.

Olika länder
I Finland är frivilliga brandkåren en viktig institution. Det finns över 600 frivilliga brandkårer i landet.

I Sverige finns det ca 300 frivilliga brandkårer där många genom avtal med kommunerna ingår som Räddningsvärn. Det finns en intresseorganisation Sveriges frivilliga brandkårer (FSFB) och en utbildningsplan framtagen tillsammans med  Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap

I Tyskland är brandförsvaret en kommunal angelägenhet, men ryggraden i det tyska brandförsvaret utgörs av 24 700 frivilliga brandkårer - Freiwillige Feuerwehr (FF) - med 1,3 miljoner brandmän. Varje tätort och samhälle har sin egen frivilliga brandkår, som samordnas på kommunal och högre nivå. Huvudansvaret för brandförsvaret i Österrike utgörs av de frivilliga brandkårerna med 300 000 brandmän. Varje tätort och samhälle har sin egen frivilliga brandkår. Yrkesbrandkårer finns bara i de sex största städerna. I Sydtyrolen är brandförsvaret organiserad efter österrikiskt mönster, med 306 frivilliga brandkårer.

'The Voice' Contestant Abby Cates Earned the Compliment of a Lifetime From Kelly Clarkson
We cannot believe she said that!
By Kelly O'Sullivan
The competition on season 15 of The Voice is heating up, and contestants' song choices for their performances matter now more than ever. On Tuesday, Abby Cates revealed a bold decision she made heading into the Knockouts: she would be taking on "Because of You" in front of the songwriter herself, her coach Kelly Clarkson.
The 17-year-old explained that Clarkson was her "childhood icon" and she grew up singing her music at home and at school. Still, Cates admitted that it was "pretty nerve-wracking" to belt out one of the superstar's own hits in front of her. Clarkson helped calm her anxious team member's nerves by explaining the story behind the lyrics, which she wrote when she was just a teenager.
"I wrote it at 16, and it literally just started as a poetry kind of thing because I just needed to get it out," Clarkson revealed. "My mom was like 'you are very angry about something, you should start writing.'"
During Cates' rehearsal, she was lucky enough to receive some advice firsthand from the songwriter to improve her arrangement and showcase her vocals. Even better, though, was the compliment that Clarkson gave her behind the scenes.
"I wanted this song to sound different when I recorded it," Clarkson admitted. "Abby is singing this song how I wish I would've sang it in the beginning."
For comparison, here's Clarkson's rendition of "Because of You" at the GRAMMY Awards ceremony in 2006.
When it came time to sing in front of all four coaches, Cates competed against 18-year-old Claire DeJean, who sang Shawn Mendes' "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back."
Though both contestants put on impressive performances, Clarkson made it clear that she could only advance one of them because their voices are so similar. She visibly struggled with her decision, but ultimately chose Cates. Given what she said about her during rehearsals, we can't say we're surprised!

Apple set to slash iPhone production due to chip crunch
Oct 13, 2021 – 7.31am
Apple is likely to slash its projected iPhone 13 production targets for 2021 by as many as 10 million units as prolonged chip shortages hit its flagship product, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The company had expected to produce 90 million new iPhone models in the last three months of the year, but it's now telling manufacturing partners that the total will be lower because Broadcom and Texas Instruments are struggling to deliver enough components, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the situation is private.
The iPhone 13 was introduced last month. AP
The technology giant is one of the world's largest chip buyers and sets the annual rhythm for the electronics supply chain. But even with strong buying power, Apple is grappling with the same supply disruptions that have wreaked havoc on industries around the world.
Major chipmakers have warned that demand will continue to outpace supply throughout next year and potentially beyond.
Apple gets display parts from Texas Instruments, while Broadcom is its longtime supplier of wireless components. One TI chip in short supply for the latest iPhones is related to powering the OLED display. Apple also is facing component shortages from other suppliers.
Apple and TI representatives declined to comment. Broadcom didn't respond to a request for comment.
Apple shares slipped as much as 1.6 per cent in late trading after Bloomberg reported on the news. The stock was up 6.6 per cent this year through Tuesday's close. Broadcom and TI also dipped in after-hours trading.
The shortages have already weighed on Apple's ability to ship new models to customers. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max went on sale in September, but orders won't be delivered from Apple's website for about a month. And the new devices are listed as "currently unavailable" for pickup at several of the company's retail stores. Apple's carrier partners are also seeing similar shipment delays.
Current orders are slated to ship around mid-November, so Apple could still get the new iPhones to consumers in time for the crucial holiday season. The year-end quarter is expected to be Apple's biggest sales blitz yet, generating about $US120 billion ($163 billion) in revenue. That would be up about 7 per cent from a year earlier -- and more money than Apple made in an entire year a decade ago.
Apple's woes show that even the king of the tech world isn't immune from global shortages made worse by the pandemic. In addition to facing tight iPhone availability, the company has struggled to make enough of the Apple Watch Series 7 and other products.
Earlier this year, Apple warned that it would face supply constraints of the iPhone and iPad during the quarter that ended in September. The Cupertino, California-based company cited the global chip shortages at the time. That period included about a week and a half of iPhone 13 revenue.
Broadcom doesn't have major factories of its own and relies on contract chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to build its products. Texas Instruments makes some chips in-house, but also relies on outside manufacturing. That means they're part of an increasingly challenging fight to secure production capacity at TSMC and other foundries.
Apple is a TSMC client itself -- in fact, it's the company's largest. Apple uses the manufacturer to make its A-series processors, but they don't appear to be under threat of shortages for now.
There are signs the chip crunch is getting worse. Lead times in the industry -- the gap between putting in a semiconductor order and taking delivery -- rose for the ninth month in a row to an average of 21.7 weeks in September, according to Susquehanna Financial Group.

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar on Thursday met British Home Secretary Sajid Javid in London.
The two discussed issues of mutual interest, particularly those related to the provision of mutual legal assistance, extradition requests, prisoner transfer agreement and steps to curb money laundering as well as recovery of assets acquired through illegal means.
They also discussed matters pertaining to assistance and support on technical matters, analytical advice and skills capacity building.
Akbar also held meetings with other representatives of the UK government. The premier's special assistant met Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor of the International Justice & Organised Crime Division Debbie Price and Head of the UK Central Authority Philomena Creffield. During the meeting, the two sides agreed on working closely at an operational level and enhancing collaboration in the areas of information sharing. Progress on specific cases for extradition requests made to the UK government were also discussed.
The premier's special assistant also called on UK Prime Minister's Anti-Corruption Champion and Member of Parliament John Penrose at Portcullis House to discuss strategies for making joint efforts in curbing corruption and plugging existing loopholes at home and abroad.
Later on, he visited the Foreign and Commonwealth Office where he was received by UK Special Representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) Gareth Bayley. Both sides discussed bilateral issues and expressed their commitment to work closely together.
Bayley expressed the British Government's firm commitment to support Pakistan in its resolve towards fighting corruption and carrying out the accountability process for justice to ensure transparency.
Earlier this month, Akbar said the government has finalised a broad based mutual legal assistance law to obtain evidence from foreign jurisdictions about financial crimes and mega corruption cases involving Pakistanis.
Addressing the media on October 14, he said Pakistan has already signed a treaty with Britain which will help speed up the investigations into different high profile asset cases.
The special assistant to the premier had also announced he will meet his counterpart of national crime agency during his visit to Britain and hold discussions on pending requests for extradition, including that of former finance minister Ishaq Dar.
Further, he had said that the government is exploring the option of initiating civil proceedings in Britain as it will ensure early return of the plundered amount.
In September, Javid visited Islamabad and said the UK will work closely with Pakistani authorities in their fight against money laundering.

"There can be no more important subject than English. It is at the heart of our culture and literacy skills are crucial to pupils' learning for all subjects."
Sir Michael Wilshaw (OFSTED Chief Inspector - January 2012)
We aim to develop the key concepts both within the English curriculum and through cross-curricular opportunities, as offered by literacy across the curriculum and St. Joseph's 'Activity Days.'
Year 7 English Curriculum Map
Year 7 English Curriculum Overview
Year 10 English Curriculum Map
Year 10 English Curriculum Overview
Key Stage 3 English at St. Joseph's Catholic College
Key Stage 3 English is the first step in a crucial learning journey for our students. We ensure that our Key Stage 3 schemes of work are carefully focused on deep learning of key knowledge and skills so that students are given the opportunity to master concepts that they will need at Key Stage 4 and beyond. The curriculum is designed thematically, ensuring that students study a range of literature: prose, poetry, drama, literary non-fiction and a range of different writing forms and styles. The texts have been selected to ensure broad scope, incorporating seminal literary texts from a range of different time periods, genres and styles, whilst retaining alignment with our important multicultural identity. We operate a carefully constructed assessment system, a balance of formative and summative assessment opportunities, that helps to hone skills in reading, writing and spoken language - all vital aspects of communication. We aim to develop students' engagement in the subject, their enjoyment of reading and writing and improve their oracy skills, which provides students with a bridge to begin critically evaluating literary texts. Alongside this, we have built our innovative curriculum to offer significant challenge, encouraging independent thought, creativity and originality.
Term 1: Spy Fiction ('Stormbreaker' - A Horowitz)
Term 2: Modern Novel: 'Hatchet' (G Paulson) and Adventure Writing
Term 3: Dickensian: 19th Century Literature and Imaginative Writing
Term 4: Gothic Literature: 'Frankenstein' (M Shelley/P Pullman) and Gothic Writing
Term 5: Poetry in Different Contexts ('Monsters' and 'War Poetry')
Term 6: War Literature
Term 1: Nature Poetry and Imaginative Writing
Term 2: Displacement and Belonging - 'Refugee Boy' (B Zephaniah) and Transactional Writing
Terms 3 and 4: People that Changed the World - 'I am Malala' (M Yousafzai) and Autobiographies
Terms 4 and 5: Power and Conflict - 'Animal Farm' (G Orwell)
Term 6: Love and Tragedy - Romeo and Juliet (W Shakespeare)
Year 9:
Terms 1 and 2: Dreams, Hopes and Plans - 'Of Mice and Men' (G Steinbeck) and Transactional Writing
Terms 3 and 4: The Victorian Context - 19th Century Literature and Imaginative Writing
Term 5 and 6: Conflict and Tragedy: Conflict Poetry and 'King Lear' (W Shakespeare)
English GCSE at St Joseph's
Key Stage 4 English GCSE has never been more exciting and innovative than it is now. Our curriculum aims to engender a deeper, more critical learning experience, building on the deep learning of skills and knowledge acquired in Key Stage 3 and progressing to mastery level. At St. Joseph's, it is our aim to foster a lifelong love of reading and writing with our broad, challenging curriculum, which seeks to enable students to become confident literary critics. Students will develop their ability to insightfully analyse and evaluate a breadth of texts spanning from the 19th Century to today, as well as becoming creative wordsmiths, developing a whole host of writing skills from article writing to creative prose. We carefully prepare students for two GCSE qualifications: Edexcel English Language and English Literature. Both of these qualifications are taken at the end of the two year course, Year 11, and are comprised of 100% examination, with two separate papers per qualification. A Spoken Language assessment is taken in Year 10 to validate the English Language GCSE.
During Year 10, students gain deep knowledge and expertise of the English Literature texts: JB Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls', Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', RL Stevenson's 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and Poetry (anthology and 'unseen') in the Edexcel English Literature Poetry Anthology. Students also prepare for and conduct their Spoken Language assessment. Alongside the literary texts, writing is also taught explicitly on a fortnightly basis to enhance students' crucial writing skills, with tasks linked to the text(s) studied.
In both Key Stage 3 and 4, students will have two class books: one is a note-taking book, and the other, a progress book. The note-taking book will comprise of class notes, research or revision notes. These books will be monitored by teachers, but not formally marked. The progress book will be formally marked and include any extended writing or analysis, assessments, student responses, mock examinations and assessment for learning work. Parents are encouraged to read and respond to teachers' marking in students' purple progress books.
Although the College will provide texts for in-class study of the GCSE texts, students are encouraged to purchase their own copies of the Literature examination texts (namely 'An Inspector Calls', 'Macbeth', 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde') and are given a free copy of the Edexcel Poetry Anthology (in Year 11). It is advisable that students either purchase the texts through St. Joseph's, or from an external source, so that they can annotate and revise independently from these texts. Students who unable to purchase texts will be given copies free of charge. It is vital that students keep their annotated copies of the texts over the two year course so that they can refer back to and revise from these resources. Independence has never been more critical than it is now, and students are reminded that the more rigorous examinations in English Language and English Literature do demand that students are highly independent in their note-taking, revision, reading and homework. There can be no doubt that these examinations ultimately reward students who are diligent, committed, self-motivated and independent learners.
'An Inspector Calls' by J B Priestley.
'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson.
'Macbeth' by William Shakespeare.
It would also be helpful for students to purchase revision guides for the literary texts; although these are not available for purchase through the College, details of these guides are listed below:
Macbeth York Notes for GCSE 9-1 ISBN 9781447982203
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde York Notes for GCSE 9-1 ISBN 978-1447982180
An Inspector Calls York Notes for GCSE 9-1 ISBN 978-1447982166
You can find out more about the English Language and English Literature qualifications by accessing the Edexcel website:
http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/english-language-2015.html
http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/english-literature-2015.html
In Year 11, these skills and topics are further established and re-visited, as well a specific core focus on the English Language examinations - English Language Paper 1, followed by English Language Paper 2. Intervention sessions are co-ordinated termly through our Lead Practitioner. Students are invited to attend these sessions. In addition, the English Department run scheduled after-school revision sessions for Year 11 students twice weekly from Term 3 (January), to which all students are invited. Historically, these have been very well attended and have proven very successful in further developing the skills needed for students to achieve their very best in these undoubtedly challenging examinations. Furthermore, the English Department also run crucial revision sessions before the examinations in May/June. These are run and delivered by the Senior Leader of English and Lead Practitioner of English.

Per Artur Erikson, folkbokförd Eriksson, född 5 mars 1918 i Skutskär, död 10 augusti 2000 i Gagnef, var en svensk sångarpastor och evangelist i dåvarande Svenska Missionsförbundet. Erikson var sångare och pianist, och förutom andliga sånger sjöng han Dan Anderssons visor. Han var en av de mest populära artisterna inom kristen sång.

Biografi

Uppväxt och utbildning
Artur Erikson föddes i Skutskär i Uppland, där fadern då var fabriksarbetare, och kom som tvååring till Gästrikland där han växte upp i Torsåker och senare i Hedesunda. Han var son till pastor Emil Eriksson och Anna, ogift Larsson. Fadern var en populär predikant i Gästrikland där han cyklade runt och spelade och sjöng. Erikson växte upp i en familj där inte bara föräldrarna, utan alla sex barnen, var musikaliska.
En äldre bror Firpen Eriksson, som egentligen hette Gunnar, var pianist och uppträdde på 1930-talet med showgruppen Gävlepojkarna.

Artur Erikson lärde sig tidigt melodier utantill; i tioårsåldern började han ackompanjera sin far i Hedesunda missionshus och var snart med på faderns turnéer. Han studerade till målare vid Karlskoga Praktiska Läroverk, men bytte senare yrkesbana och gick en evangelistkurs 1941. Sånglektioner tog han hos Dagmar Gustafson.

Tjänstgöringar
Erikson hade sin första pastorstjänst i Södra Gotlands Missionsförening 1941–1942 och blev evangelist i Gotländska Missionsförbundet 1943. Han var pastor i Malung 1944–1945 och i Hemse 1946–1949. Därefter var han evangelist i Dalarnas Ansgarsförening 1949–1951 samt pastor i Rättvik 1951–1956. År 1956 anställdes han av Svenska Missionsförbundet på riksnivå och reste med John Hedlunds korstågsteam fram till 1958. Han var sedan pastor i Skara under tiden 1958–1962 innan han åter blev SMF:s evangelist från 1962.

Sångarkarriär
Artur Erikson slog igenom som sångare efter att ha sjungit "Ovan där" i Hylands hörna 1963 och turnerade sedan även i folkparker med visor och skillingtryck. Han låg på Svensktoppen i tolv veckor med Dan Anderssons "Till min syster" år 1970.

Han spelade in åtskilliga skivor, de flesta på det egna skivbolaget Solist. Erikson var den första kristna artist som belönades med en guldskiva; först med albumet "När den evigt klara morgon gryr" och sedan ett par år senare med albumet "O, store Gud". Sammanlagt blev det hela nio guldskivor. Artur Erikson medverkade på inspelningar tillsammans med sångerskan Anna-Lena Löfgren.

Under många år var han en ofta efterfrågad artist i Sveriges Radios önskeprogram med melodier som Carl Bobergs "O store Gud" och Lydia Lithells "Jag har hört om en stad" samt "Pärleporten".

Han var dirigent i Gotlands Missionsförbunds Sångarförbund och sånglärare vid Hemse folkhögskola 1946–1949. Han gav ut sångböcker för sitt evangelisationsarbete "Korstågssånger" (1955) och "Kristus vandrar bland oss än" (1962).

Övrigt
Han gifte sig första gången 1945 med Maggie Söderlund (1909–1999) och andra gången 2000 med Kajsa Skörvald (född 1939).

Tillsammans med sin första hustru köpte han i medelåldern en 1700-talsgård i Gagnef i Dalarna. Där byggdes också en inspelningsstudio. På gården skrev han boken "Blomstersång i barndomsland" med dikter om Sveriges alla landskapsblommor. Han tonsatte senare dessa verser och sjöng in på CD-skivor.

Artur Erikson är begravd på Gagnefs kyrkogård tillsammans med första hustrun.

FOR the past decade, the Mangoola Rural Fire Brigade and Denman Fire and Rescue NSW Station 283 have joined forces to delight residents - young and old - with a sweet treat every Christmas. And, the status quo will remain in 2019 when the two organisations host their annual Santa Lolly Run this month. The hard-working firefighters are scheduled to hit the streets of Sandy Hollow on Saturday, December 21, from 6pm and then back up at Denman on Sunday, December 22, at 3pm. "It's about 10 years that Mangoola and Denman 283 have been doing it together," Mangoola Rural Fire Brigade Captain Shaun Hunter said. "And, each time, it gets better. "We all do it for the local community. "Even though we're flat out at times, doing the Santa Lolly Run is like taking a break for us believe it or not. "It's great to see the community get behind it, too." Captain Hunter admitted everyone, from the firefighters to the residents, looked forward to the annual event. "We definitely all enjoy doing it," he said. "It's the biggest thing we probably do throughout the year. "And, it doesn't involve any fundraising of any sort. "It is purely to put a smile on everyone's face in both towns. "But, from a personal point of view, I love doing it as well. "Nothing puts a bigger smile on my kids' faces than seeing Santa and, to top it off, he has a convoy of fire trucks. "We need to say a big thank you to NSW regional manager Mark Pattison and the team from Weir ESCO for donating the lolly bags to us. "Over the past couple of years we have started to see much more support in Denman. "So, we are hoping everyone gets outside on the day, gives Santa a wave and grabs a bag of lollies."

Parker Lee, just 3 days new and a complete joy. He was so go-with-the-flow. I was so in awe of how well he did! As I photograph newborns, the "posey" images are great and so fun, but I simply adore the quiet, real moments between mom, dad, and baby. And let's face it, oftentimes the "louder moments" from baby to parents. ;-) As hard as the days are sometimes, you won't ever get this sweet time back. What an honor it was to be welcomed into the Jones home to capture these timeless moments. Enjoy, friends!

Well, we're on our way to buying a new home!!
We're either going to sell our current apartment or rent it -- we're still not sure -- but we've signed some papers to buy another place here in Nice, closer to downtown and the sea. We've chosen a place in Le Ray or Saint-Maurice, depending on which map you consult. Some of the houses near Parc Chambrun give a sense of the neighborhood, even though they're a lot more bourgeoise than where we'll be living.
Back in Canada, my style was a mix of modern, natural fibres, handmade art, and thrift finds.
My old apartment in Ottawa, Canada.

Paris-Saclay University () is a public research university based in Paris, France. It is one of the 13 prestigious universities that emerged from the division of the University of Paris, also known as the Sorbonne.

It is part of the Paris-Saclay project, which is a research-intensive academic campus, and is the main center for training and research within the technology cluster of Paris-Saclay. The University integrates several leading grandes écoles, faculties, colleges and research centers that are part of the world's top research organizations in various fields.

Paris-Saclay has achieved particular renown in mathematics. As of 2021, 11 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with the university  and its associated research institutes, which include the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques – generally regarded as the birthplace of modern algebraic geometry and catastrophe theory.

History
In 2019, the Paris-Saclay University succeeded to University of Paris-Sud (Paris XI) founded in 1971, which itself succeeded to University of Paris founded c. 1150.

After World War II, the rapid growth of nuclear physics and chemistry meant that research needed more and more powerful accelerators, which required large areas. The University of Paris, the École Normale Supérieure and the Collège de France looked for space in the south of Paris near Orsay. Later some of the teaching activity of the Faculty of Sciences in Paris was transferred to Orsay in 1956 at the request of Irène Joliot-Curie and Frédéric Joliot-Curie. The rapid increase of students led to the independence of the Orsay Center on March 1, 1965. It became the University of Paris-Sud (Paris XI) in 1971.

Now it hosts a great number of laboratories on its large (236 ha) campus in Paris-Saclay. Many of the top French laboratories are among them especially in particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, atomic physics and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, theoretical physics, electronics, nanoscience and nanotechnology.

The Paris-Saclay University was established in 2015 as a universities community (ComUE) and in 2019 as a university, with the aim to become a top-ranking, research-focused French university. In order to be recognized as an entity of sufficient size and quality, the university regroups some of the top grandes écoles in France with public universities under a single campus on the Saclay plateau. Each member institution will remain independent but share a significant portion of existing and newly invested resources. This follows a model similar to the one adopted by University of Oxford and Cambridge, where each constituent college keeps its independence while being grouped under a 'university'.

The University System's first academic year started in September 2015.

According to Dominique Vernay, chairman of the foundation developing Paris-Saclay, the university aims at a top-ten position in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), but "the first goal is to be the top university in continental Europe".

Furthermore, the university aims to contribute to maximizing the economic and business potential of the Paris-Saclay project through research, via university and research spin-offs, as well as industrial research collaboration with established companies.

In January 2020, it replaced University of Paris-Sud (Paris XI) and in 2025, Université de Versailles-Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ) and Université d'Évry-Val-d'Essonne (UEVE) will merge with it as well.

In June 2020, Paris-Saclay University ranked 14th in Shanghai Ranking's top 1000 universities in the world, and first worldwide for Mathematics by Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) and 9th worldwide for Physics (1st in Europe).

Organisation
The Paris-Saclay University consists of five faculties in Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Law-Economics-Management, and Sports Sciences; an Engineering school; three technical institutes specialised in scientific and technical subjects in Cachan, Orsay, and Sceaux; and an undergraduate university school.

The University also brings together four grandes écoles: CentraleSupélec, AgroParisTech, ENS Paris-Saclay and the Institut d'Optique Graduate School, with two associate institutions: Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University (UVSQ) and University of Évry Val d'Essonne (UEVE).

It combines resources from the following French universities and grandes écoles, as well as partial resources from various research organizations and the Systematic Paris-Region cluster:

Initially, the community of universities also included five other grandes écoles: École Polytechnique, Télécom Paris, Telecom SudParis, ENSTA Paris and ENSAE Paris. However, due to differences in University set-up, these five grandes écoles  created their own separate university Polytechnic Institute of Paris. This was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron during a speech in Paris-Saclay. Both of these clusters plan to co-operate and they engage in organization of several master's degrees with the Paris-Saclay University.

Grandes Écoles and graduate schools

Associated universities

Research organizations
The following research organizations have established research centers within the Paris-Saclay University. The resources contributed by these organizations will remain largely independent from other member institutions. Once the University of Paris-Saclay is fully integrated, its research centers are expected to achieve a profile similar to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Caltech:
 CEA (Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission)
 CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research)
 Inria (French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation)
 INSERM (French Institute of Health and Medical Research)
 Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies)
 INRA (French National Institute for Agricultural Sciences)
 ONERA (National Board of Study and Aerospace Research)
 SOLEIL (national synchrotron facility)
 Pascal Institute - University of Paris-Saclay

Academic programs
Each member school of the Paris-Saclay University organizes training in a given scientific field. Depending on the needs of their registered program, a student enrolled in a particular graduate school will have access to academic resources from other schools.

The various fields of study available at Paris-Saclay University are broadly categorized into the following:
 Biodiversity, Agriculture and Food, Society, Environment (Biodiversité, Agriculture et Alimentation, Société, Environnement) ;
 Biology, Medicine, Pharmaceutical studies (Biologie, Médecine, Pharmacie) ;
 Law, Political Science (Droit et Science Politique) ;
 Humanities (Humanités) ;
 Engineering, Sciences and Information Technologies (Ingénierie, Sciences et Technologies de l'information) ;
 Sport and Human Motion Sciences (Sciences du Sport et du Mouvement Humain) ;
 Basic Sciences (Sciences Fondamentales) ;
 Social Sciences (Sciences Sociales).

The academic programs in each of the 8 schools is expected to follow the Anglo-American model:
Paris-Saclay Undergraduate School – The Bachelor's program is provided by Paris-Saclay faculties and the 2 public universities within Paris-Saclay, which are Versailles-Saint-Quentin University and University of Évry Val-d'Essonne.
Paris-Saclay Graduate Schools –  Master's degrees are taught in both French and English. Altogether, 49 Master's degree are offered.
Paris-Saclay Research or Doctoral Schools – PhD programs are offered through 20 doctoral schools. Doctoral degrees received after September 30, 2015 are awarded under the name "Paris-Saclay University", with a mention of the student's associated university or grande école.

Research programmes
The Paris-Saclay University gathers together more than 300 research units, organized into 10 doctoral schools:
 Chemistry (Chimie)
 Electrical engineering, optics and electronics (EOE: Ingénierie électrique, optique et électronique)
 Mathematics (Mathématiques)
 Mechanics, energy and physical processes (MEP: Mécanique, énergétique et procédés)
 Subatomic physics and astrophysics (P2I: Physique des deux infinis)
 Wave and matter physics (PHOM: Physique des ondes et de la matière)
 Planetary science and cosmology (SPU: Sciences de la planète et de l'Univers)
 Life sciences (SDV: Sciences de la Vie)
 Human and social sciences (SHS: Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société)
 Information and communication sciences and technologies (STIC: Sciences et technologies de l'information et de la communication).

University rankings

The Paris-Saclay University has been awarded the 13th world rank in the 2021 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranking. It replaces University of Paris-Sud (Paris XI) in January 2020 which ranked 37 globally in 2019. The same year it also has been awarded the 32nd world rank in the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR).

University Paris-Saclay was included in the 2019 edition of U.S. News & World Report Best Global University Ranking. University Paris-Saclay was ranked 30 globally, 7th in Europe and 1st in France. It was ranked 1st in Europe for physics (5th internationally) and 1st internationally for mathematics.

In the future, the Paris-Saclay cluster is hoped to help France secure a place among the world's top ten universities, and bring French education and research into the limelight.

Nobel and Fields laureates

Paris-Saclay University formally replaced several pre-existing Parisian universities, grande écoles and research institutes. These continue to exist as departments within the broader structure of Paris-Saclay. The list below therefore includes those pre-2019 laureates whose institutions were later subsumed by the university. We list their institutional affiliation at the time too.

How to Cite the Charter of Rights
How to Cite a Bulletin in APA Style
How to Cite a Debate
How to Cite an NIH Publication in APA Format
Jennifer Spirko Updated April 17, 2017
photodeti/iStock/Getty Images
APA style citation has become the standard in psychology, business and many social science fields, including public health. If you use this citation style to document materials from the extensive publication library of the National Institute of Health, you will need to know some basic information about the source, including the authors' names, the title, the date and the Web address.
Documenting Your Sources
APA style calls for a list of sources at the end of the essay on a separate page headed "References," in alphabetical order by author and using hanging indents. If you used the NIH publication "Brain Basics: Understanding Sleep," for instance, you'd begin the entry with the organization that authored the piece, a component of the NIH, because no individual writer is credited:
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. (2014). Brain Basics, Understanding Sleep. Retrieved from http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/brain_basics/understanding_sleep.htm
The first time you refer to the source in your text, cite the author and date in parentheses: (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2014).
For subsequent references, you can use the organization's abbreviation instead: (NINDS, 2014).

The-Merger. I am art among the arts…
Rigoberto Otaño Milián / 18 December, 2014
sculpture The merger
The artist of the 21st Century moves in zigzag between two axes, so distant and complementary that they may even fight in public and then share bed. Critics and market, understood as referential universes diametrically opposed, achieve certain conciliation in the artist's figure, who in turn depends on them to act as such. The key of his success lies in the extent the artist manages to coordinate both instances, and takes them as his; in the extent he could understand how they work.
On the other hand, in a time that further demands the individual, interdisciplinary has become defining guideline. Currently, restructuration of the anthological knowledge areas starts demanding the artist not only to have a job, but also knowing other realities, other ways of conceiving cosmos. The world changes its course and art must barefoot follow it. In contemporary Cuba, one of the faces assumed by this phenomenon is proliferation of the called ¨artistic collaboration groups¨. Among them, an example that has been gaining space is The Merger, result of the fusion, in 2009, of Mario Miguel González (Mayito), Niels Moleiro and Alain Pino.
In a first approach to their work, the viewer gets caught by the refined image, by the excellent making of a plastic production from which spectrum could not be said: Jack of all trades, master of none. In their creations they use dissimilar materials (steel, woods, bronze, PVC and translucent silicone), all subjugated to their tool function, to their role as a means to accentuate an end based on contents. Their references come from mass iconography, global marketing, industrial technology and the new times. They use a wide range of receptors, so their message deals with several levels of significance. So, even when Gretel Acosta to affirm that ¨the communicative relation that we establish with their work is extremely brief¨, backed by a ¨literature with lack of suggestions¨ (1); I rather think in a refined synthesis, in which several meanings have been included in the same signifier. An open message, full of implicit references to its possible readings that do not overwhelm the receiver, but invite him to sit and receive all they are able to decipher. Indeterminacy, in this sense, is a key element; a space mouldable to the experience, the experience of others, the one ending the communicative act. The work of the group works, even apart from their titles. In the totality of the imaginary they use, in the synthetic way of their forms, covering a wide range of possible decodings, which allows each piece to get rid of its statement, its context, its authors, and still say something to anyone watching them. After all, a society burdened by globalization, the internet, disappointment and death of the great utopias; can just regurgitate and art showing its guts, that is, an art that speaks its same language.
When I met The-Merger at HB (group exhibition organized at PABEXPO, within the framework of the Eleventh Havana Biennial), it came to my mind the white rabbit of Alice, by Lewis Carroll. Then I did not exactly understand why, but I found something unusual in their poetry; something that struggled to drag my attention back to their burrows; that threshold to another universe, oblivious to the conventional dynamics of the art world. Since then, their vision of the moment had some foresight. The formation of a group that is nourished by both academic knowledge and marketing strategies; innovative industrial manufacturing that their aesthetic line has patented; objectivity with which, despite living in Cuba, they have entered in the coveted auction market; responds to a very clear conception of the guidelines by which contemporary Cuban art today moves.
Today, with a solid career in the international market, supported by the presence in many international art fairs, more than 12 sales above the highest price estimated in auction houses, and a record sale of $ 122 500.00 ( Sex Machine / Miami FAAM Auction, December 2013); the rise is unquestioned. To this we must add their participation in the last Havana Auction (November, 2014), with a portfolio of 21 engravings, a product of sketches of some of their sculptures. It is evident that the group has become famous.
Let us recall that, anthologically, the true artist has always been a reader of his surroundings, a being able to translate that code in his works with which the universe is written. The means him to use, his technique, the public that he appeals to, the social status achieved, are variables of an equation which only constant is the ability to decipher -and then transmit- key aspects of his surrounding cosmos. In this sense, I believe that the merit of The-Merger is undeniable.

Streaming Wars
Mulan's move to Disney Plus proves how quickly the pandemic forever changed entertainment
How everything seemed to change in less than six months
By Julia Alexander Aug 6, 2020, 1:22pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Mulan's move to Disney Plus proves how quickly the pandemic forever changed entertainment
Five months ago, I and many other people declared that despite Universal's Trolls World Tour skipping theaters to premiere digitally, the idea of Disney exploring the same route with big blockbusters like Mulan was preposterous.
Mulan, regarded as one of Disney's biggest films of the year, will premiere exclusively on Disney Plus in the United States and other countries where Disney Plus is available. The film will cost an additional $30, which people will own as long as they are Disney Plus subscribers. Disney has essentially created a video-on-demand portal within its own streaming service, which will give Disney 100 percent of sales revenue, 100 percent control over how people watch the movie, and 100 percent of user data.
"We're very pleased to be able to bring Mulan to our consumer base that has been waiting for it for a long, long time as we've had to unfortunately move our theatrical date several times," Disney CEO Bob Chapek said on an earnings call.
Moving Mulan, a film that, in pre-COVID times, may have generated north of $1 billion at the box office, to Disney Plus is a radical shift for the entertainment industry. While Chapek told analysts on the call that Disney is "looking at Mulan as one-off," a Disney source told The Verge that "we put in enough work behind the scenes that this is definitely not a one off." Even with the new distribution path, Mulan isn't likely to make what it would have in pre-coronavirus times, but it's a new option that Disney executives are excited about. As Chapek spoke about the new launch model for Mulan, he stressed that Disney's team is interested to "see what happens" both in terms of subscriber growth and how many people purchase the film.
Reading between the lines, Chapek doesn't want to piss off theater owners associations, but he's not trying to ignore the possibilities that Disney Plus can do more. It would be obtuse to ignore an obvious, new revenue stream. That's true while companies face ongoing economic turmoil in the midst of the pandemic, and it'll still be true after the beginning phase of the pandemic subsides.
"We put in enough work behind the scenes that this is definitely not a one off"
Back in March, when I wrote that Disney was probably never going to debut a tentpole film on Disney Plus, it felt like the pandemic wouldn't last this long. The world five months ago is not the same as the world today, and the entertainment industry five months ago is radically different from what it is today.
Although the pandemic is to blame for the sudden shift in strategy for three of the world's biggest film companies — Universal, Warner Bros., and Disney — the outcome seemed inevitable. Home entertainment revenue last year saw massive gains, largely driven by different types of streaming options. The pandemic has accelerated trends that likely would have played out in years to come; what may have happened in a decade occurred in mere months. Disney's announcement felt like the rope finally snapping, and it has led to a series of existential questions. Will movie theaters survive? Will studios prioritize digital releases as conglomerates try to build their streaming bases?
Theaters aren't dead. The studios still want to play their biggest films in theaters, like Christopher Nolan's repeatedly delayed Tenet. Going forward, however, they'll also want to be in homes as fast as possible, pushing people to their own streaming platforms or digital rental spaces where studios can take a much bigger cut of the revenue. It's basic capitalism: studios want whatever revenue avenues there are.
Take other moves that studios have made. Universal entered a new agreement with AMC Theaters to shorten the theatrical window (the length of time that a movie has to play in theaters). Now, Universal can move its films to rental platforms like iTunes or Amazon after 17 days instead of several weeks. (In the future, it's possible films could land directly on Comcast's streaming service, Peacock, should it add a similar rental system like Disney Plus.) Other studios like Warner Bros. are moving some of its titles to digital-only exclusives, while Paramount and Sony are selling off a portion of their movies to Netflix and Amazon.
Half of the industry's total $42.5 billion box office revenue came from three studios
I previously argued that Disney wouldn't move Mulan or Black Widow to Disney Plus because theaters were too important for the studio. That's still true. Disney made $13.2 billion last year, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the $42.5 billion global box office revenue the film industry saw. In a February interview, co-chairman Alan Horn told The Hollywood Reporter that theatrical releases still make a lot of money for Disney, and because of how expensive making tentpole films is, theaters are necessary. It's also why, in markets where Disney Plus isn't available, Disney will release Mulan in theaters.
While it's not the death of theaters, it is proof of the incoming rapid collapse of the theatrical window. Half of the industry's total $42.5 billion box office revenue came from three studios: Disney, Warner Bros., and Universal. This gives the studios more power to make certain demands. Those demands are likely to be shorter windows — those studios are going to want the freedom to take movies out of theaters much earlier than ever before and move them to those direct-to-consumer platforms where they can earn between 80 and 100 percent of the revenue.
The big question now is how much power Disney and other studios hold as a combined force. Disney's move with Mulan insinuates that blockbusters could premiere on Disney Plus and in theaters on the same day. Theaters aren't going to want that. In the television space, disagreements between content providers and distributors often lead to "carriage disputes" — where a cable provider like Verizon loses access to a network because of contract negotiations. In carriage disputes, content providers (broadcasters) tend to have the upper hand, and that's also arguably the case here; sure, studios want to be in theaters, but theaters need those studios films.
Big blockbuster movies, once the beginning phase of the pandemic subsides, will still play in theaters. A movie like Avengers: Endgame also isn't going to leave theaters after two weeks or even two months. Studios will keep their biggest blockbusters in theaters as long as they're bringing people in.
The big question now is how much power Disney and other studios hold as a combined force
The big changes will come to the mid-budget films that aren't going to generate $750 million or even $1 billion in theaters. Those movies might play for two weeks before jumping over to streaming platforms, giving the studios the ability to have their films in theaters (important for first- and second-week box office revenue on top of awards eligibility), and then push people to streaming services they're trying to grow.
It's a business model that's never really been tried before in earnest. Even though in many ways, this evokes a Hollywood model from decades ago, where studios owned movie theaters and had more control over distribution of its films. That changed in 1948. Studios have been banned from owning theaters for more than 70 years, and in that time, the industry has changed completely. No one really knows how this will go. Mulan, as the largest film to be released in a straight-to-streaming debut, will be a major signal for the rest of the industry.
There are a few different paths available to Disney now: release a movie straight on Disney Plus, release a movie in theaters and bring it to Disney Plus after a short period, release a movie simultaneously in theaters and on Disney Plus, or release a movie exclusively in theaters.
Five months ago, I would have thought that for titles like Mulan and Black Widow, the latter option was the only possibility: a big Disney movie could only be a theatrical event. Now, Chapek has made it clear that Disney Plus isn't just another product for the company; Disney is Disney Plus.

Q: Automatically assign taxonomy term if custom meta value exists I currently have a custom meta field for adding a video url to the post. I'd like for the existing taxonomy term "video" to be automatically assigned to the post upon saving if the meta field has any value.

A: You should hook onto the save_post action.
add_action( 'save_post', 'add_video_taxonomy' );

function add_video_taxonomy( $post_id ) {

    // you should check if the current user can do this, probably against publish_posts
    // you should also have a nonce check here as well

    if( get_post_meta( $post_id, 'video_url', true ) ) {
        wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, 'video', 'your_custom_taxonomy_name', true );
    }

Churnjeet is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow. Her research falls into two broad areas: travel writing and heritage, and studies of race and sexuality. Much of her work to date has focussed on heritage in conflict and narratives of cultural memory and amnesia. Her first book approached this issue through an overview of British women's writing about Greece in the wake of its independence from the Ottoman Empire.
Churnjeet has a special interest in the way sections of national history are 'erased' from view, especially in the context of sites connected to heritage or tourism. Alongside this, she has developed an interest in queer travel writing and tourism, especially in the context of race and faith.
