NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 11, 2019.) – Daniel Keenum, a Lock and Dam operator at the Wilson Lock, is the Nashville District Employee of the Month for January 2019.
Keenum is being recognized for his contributions as lock operator and volunteering to speak and explain Wilson Lock operations to the Civitan Club in Florence, Ala.

With an extensive knowledge as a Lock Operator at Mid-Tennessee's Wilson Lock, the navigation history of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers mission, Keenum volunteered to brief the group.
"He really exceeded our expectations and this was an awesome achievement for Daniel," said Choate. He is a proven leader, team player and is most deserving of this award because of the tremendous effort he puts into work and helping others succeed."

"Deploying for the Corps is great and it taught some great lessons about working with people," said Keenum. "I really learned the total mission of the Corps, had the opportunity to work with other employees from all over the world, and I even made a few friends."
Lt. Col. Cullen Jones, Nashville District Commander said he commended Keenum for his work, commitment to excellence and for taking on the challenge to represent the district.
"It's really nice to be recognized for my work," Keenum. He and credits much of his knowledge to the team at Wilson Lock for continuously providing him the with needed skills sets to be a Lock Operator.
Keenum is a native of Florence and attended Northwest Shoals Community College. His hobbies include wood working, fishing, hiking, chasing his children at their sports activities and spending time with his wife Michelle.
"My family keeps me going and is very important to me and I really enjoy every minute of it," said Keenum.
Jones said Keenum is an exceptional versatile employee willing to take on new challenges and whose work contributes to the Nashville mission.
"I enjoy my job and interacting with other employees in the district," said Keenum. "It makes me feel honored to do this job because it is a team effort," he said.

Caerleon Roman Fortress Dog Walk, Roman Barracks
In 830 AD Nennius listed Cair Lion as one of Britain's 33 cities.
Nowadays it's a thriving town, where past and present combine to delight both visitors and residents.
Caerleon Roman Fortress Barracks foundation walls. It is fascinating to walk around these old Roman Barracks and picture the little rooms which would have housed up to 5,000 troops (I vaguely recall reading it was 6 soliders to a room but I may be mistaken).
The huge amphitheatre opposite is testimony to the size of this once major Roman Camp. Dogs can run around and explore as well, so this is a dog friendly outing. There is also the indoor museum which you should visit as well, especially on a rainy day.
You might be more inclined to spend time in the amphitheatre and miss out the Barracks foundations, but this area is just as interestnig as you picture the individual barracks as they would have been. This is only a small section of what there was originally.
Sections of the Roman fortress wall and Barracks still survive despite locals in times gone by using the more accessible facing stones for their own building purposes.
Many premises in the village are constructed of 'Roman' stone!
Do not miss out on the museum. The National Roman Legion Museum houses a superb display of artefacts found in the region, as well as having demonstration rooms and the reconstruction of legionaries' quarters. Loads of fascinating reading boards to browse. This really does permit you to journey into the past. It is quite remakable this small rather inaccessible place in the middle of South Wales was such a major Roman Garrison in the Roman era. One of the most important Roman Garrisons in Britain and one of the three largest.
Like other National Museums and Galleries of Wales, entry is free. The museum organises an excellent variety of events right through the year (there is a small charge for some of these). Location: High Street, opposite Broadway. Tel.: 01633 423 134 Email the Museum. Open 10am-5pm Monday-Saturday, 2pm-5pm Sunday. Closed 24-26 Dec & 1 Jan.
Inside this wall there was an earthen bank which supported the wooden seats.
Inside this was the arena wall which was estimated to have originally between 2 and 3 metres high, this surrounded the arena itself.
The arena floor was filled in with sand some 50cm deep on top of a layer of river cobbles.
The masonry (eg South Entrance top right) was found to be so strong that it was realised that the whole structure could be excavated and left uncovered.
Originally the entire arena area had become filled in with earth, creating a flat topped raised surface enclosed by the circumference wall of the amphitheatre. This created a raised round table effect when viewed from above, giving rise to Caerleon's original connection with the Round Table of Arthurian Legend.
Excavations resumed 1926
In 1926, some years after the earlier 1909 excavations, funds were made available by the Daily Mail newspaper and the Loyal Knights of the Round Table of America for a full excavation of the site. 30 thousand tons of soil was excavated, examined and carried away. This at a cost of just under ten pence a ton, considerably less than we would pay today! I wonder where they put all the soil. Also I wonder how it got filled in with so much soil in the first place!
The amphitheatre at Caerleon is one of the best preserved in the World. This makes the site of major historic interest and it is a very good walk for the dogs too. Dogs can walk all around exploring this ancient monument. You can park right beside it.
The remains of some 75 amphitheatres have been located in widely scattered areas of the Roman Empire. The amphitheatre in Caerleon is the best preserved example in Britain.
Known since the Middle Ages as King Arthur's Round Table, until 1926 it was a circular earthwork enclosing a deep hollow.
The first excavations were carried out by locals who dug trenches into the structure to recover stone for building purposes. The huge volume of Roman stone used in buildings in the village is evidence of such quarrying. Recycling started centuries ago!
The Liverpool Committee for Excavation and Research in Wales and the Marches carried out the first formal excavations in 1909. They made some exciting discoveries and found that the remains were well preserved.
In 1926, thanks to the sponsorship of the Daily Mail, work began to uncover the amphitheatre by removing 30 000 tons of soil.
'Lady Nemesis, I give thee a cloak and a pair of boots; let him who took them not redeem them (unless) with his own blood.'
It seems that the writer is saying to the goddess Nemesis: 'I make you a present of the cloak and boots stolen from me and you can obtain them by seeing that the thief is killed in the arena, or let him redeem them by getting well wounded.'
The raised round area of ground that formed King Arthur's Round Table' is clearly visible in this aerial photo taken in the early 1920s.
So this is not a wooden round table we would imagine the table of Arthurian Legend to be, with all the Knights sitting around it.
They would have had to shout at each other over a great distance assuming they sat around the circumference of the 'table'.
See the Wikipedia entry on Caerleon and Aurthur's Round Table
Wikipedia: "Geoffrey of Monmouth, the first author to write at length of King Arthur, makes Caerleon one of the most important cities in Britain in his Historia Regum Britanniæ. He gives it a long, glorious history from its foundation by King Belinus to when it becomes a metropolitan see, the location of an Archbishopric superior to Canterbury and York, under Saint Dubricius, followed by St David who moved the archbishopric to St David's Cathedral.
Geoffrey makes Arthur's capital Caerleon and even Sir Thomas Malory has Arthur re-crowned there. The still-visible Roman amphitheatre at Caerleon has been associated with Arthur's 'Round-Table' element of the tales and has been suggested as a possible source for the legend.
"For it was located in a delightful spot in Glamorgan, on the River Usk, not far from the Severn Sea. Abounding in wealth more than other cities, it was suited for such a ceremony. For the noble river I have named flows along it on one side, upon which the kings and princes who would be coming from overseas could be carried by ship. But on the other side, protected by meadow and woods, it was remarkable for royal palaces, so that it imitated Rome in the golden roofs of its buildings... Famous for so many pleasant features, Caerleon was made ready for the announced feast." (Historia Regum Britanniae "History of the Kings of Britain")
Though the huge scale of the ruins along with Caerleon's importance as an urban centre in early mediæval Kingdom of Gwent may have inspired Geoffrey, the main historical source for Arthur's link with "the camp of the legion" is the list of the twelve battles of Arthur in the 9th century Historia Brittonum.

Opening its doors in the City of Love, Japan Blue recently held the grand opening for their new Paris store, a beautiful multi-level space which reflects the heart of Japan Blue and their endless obsession with indigo.
This opening could signal the beginning of an overall expansion of the brand. Sure, we've recently seen more stores picking up the Japan Blue line. But their own brick & mortar presence shows that they're stepping into the market directly. Could this mean dedicated Japan Blue stores in other countries, possibly the United States? French blue is nice, and all, but indigo has endured. And, from the looks of things, it's not going away any time soon.
You can visit Japan Blue's Paris store at: 25 Rue Saint-Paul, 75004

COVID-19 Trivia
Want to test your knowledge of the CDC's guidelines for COVID-19 safety? Try a few rounds of Sanistaff's COVID-19 Trivia!
Round 1: Masks
Question 1: How often should you clean a reusable mask?
Answer: Whenever it gets dirty, or at least daily.
Question 2: How should you store a dirty mask?
Answer: Store a dirty mask in a plastic bag and wash as soon as possible.
Question 3: Do you still need to social distance if you're wearing a mask?
Answer: Yes! A mask is not a substitute for social distancing, and you should continue to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet apart from others.
Round 2: Hand Sanitizer
Question 1: Are all hand sanitizers equal?
Answer: No! The FDA recommends using hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol. In fact the FDA has a Do-Not-Use list of Hand Sanitizers that breach important health protocols.
Question 2: Can I use hand sanitizer to clean objects and surfaces?
Answer: The CDC does NOT recommend the use of hand sanitizer to clean or disinfect surfaces.
Question 3: Can I use hand sanitizer on my pet?
Answer: No! Animals may ingest cleaning products that end up on their skin or fur. If hand sanitizer gets on your pet, then rinse your pet immediately.
Round 3: Gloves
Question 1: Do I need to wear gloves while shopping?
Answer: No. For most errands, the CDC recommends regular hand-washing rather than wearing gloves. However, gloves are useful when cleaning or taking care of a sick family member!
Question 2: Do I need to wash my hands after wearing gloves?
Answer: Yes! Washing your hands will remove sweat buildup beneath the gloves and prevent contamination from touching the outside of the gloves while removing them.
Question 3: Can I disinfect and reuse disposable gloves?
Answer: No. Disposable gloves were not designed to be reused; throw them away after the first use.
Bonus Round
Question 1: How can I distance myself from a sick family member in my home?
Answer: Make sure that family member has a separate bedroom/bathroom to use to reduce the chance of healthy family members becoming infected.
Question 2: Do some surfaces need to be disinfected more often than others?
Answer: Yes. High-touch surfaces, like door handles and sink faucets, should be disinfected most frequently.
Question 3: How long should you take to wash your hands?
Answer: At least 20 seconds.

The plan is to create the first-ever, Ultimate Frisbee Wiki. The pre-Beta (as of December, 2004) is at http://wiki.ihuck.com. Update, Spring, 2005: the Wiki is now a live Beta at http://ihuck.com. Other than a few problems parsing complex, tagged expressions, Tiki RAWKS!
Feedback is welcome! Private messages should be forwarded to me via email, so rather than giving my address, I'll simply direct you here.
I mess around on a thing called E2, you can see a sort of personal bio-page here.
You can hire me for all sorts of Web development and Internet consulting. My business name is Land Of Delight Communications and yes, the site is still being fleshed out.
About Me
My avatar has two flags, Bulgarian and USAn. I am a third generation immigrant (1/4 by blood). Unlike so many other former Iron Curtain countries, it looks like Bulgaria will manage to remain a democratic republic for the forseeable future...
Hey Europeans! Heard about the Polish plumber? Well, the Bulgarian plummer will do it for 10% less. And you saw Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) in The Terminal, he build that awesome fountain-thing that looked cool, impressed the girl, and nearly worked!
My Voyage to Tiki
I'd heard about and read about the Wiki concept for about a year before I got to the point of looking into it. That's because it seemed like yet another great idea for how to organize information...that would, along with so many other great ideas, never really make it outside the ivory towers.
But then a buddy of mine emailed me and said, Hadj, you've got to check out this thing called Wiki, it's perfect for what we want to do with Ultimate Frisbee. He'd read an article in some business rag in May, 2004.
So I checked it out.
There were so many Wiki implementations I could easily have given up, or selected one that was too purist in it's design philosophy and implementation.
And, just for asking, AQHost increased their PHP memory_limit and bought a bunch of new memory for their server. Sweet!
So here I am.

Wolves 5, Admirals 2: Road-weary team folds at end
The Milwaukee Admirals could survive for only so long.
After having to stop five power plays by Chicago in the second period, as well as two additional breakaways, it finally caught up to the Admirals when they allowed three third-period goals – including one on a breakaway – in a 5-2 loss to the Wolves on Saturday night at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
"For sure, it did," Admirals coach Dean Evason said. "We go through those kills and then had absolutely nothing in the third period. It takes a lot out of you."
After a four-game, nine-day road trip ended with a 3-1 loss at Grand Rapids on Friday, Milwaukee returned home at 2 a.m. for its first contest since Nov. 26 only to have its seven-game point streak at the Arena come to an end. The Central Division-leading Admirals are also here Monday before embarking on another four-game trip, and they could use the day off Sunday.
"We've had a lot of hockey," Evason said. "Even though you have days off in between our games, you're still out on the road. It's not an excuse, it's reality. We were out there a long time. We had flights, buses, whatever, it doesn't sound like it's that hard, but it's taxing on your body and likely mentally as well.
"We'll get some rest and have lots of energy to be ready to go Monday."
Chicago took its first lead of the night, 3-2, on a goal by Vince Dunn with 15 minutes 11 seconds left in the game. He fired a shot from the top of the left circle that sailed over the left glove of reserve goalie Jonas Gunnarsson. He scored again with 8:50 remaining to help snap the Wolves' seven-game winless streak in Milwaukee dating to the 2014-'15 season.
Chicago's final goal came from Kenny Agostino as he skated free for a one-on-one with the rookie goalie, and he slid the puck between his legs with 4:32 to go. It was Gunnarsson's fourth start and second in the last 10 games.
"That's the tough part about being in his position," Evason said. "Same as players, you'd like to keep them going and playing all the time. He's mentally strong, he's been prepared."
In the first period, each team scored twice and Milwaukee recorded a season-high 20 shots – three more than it had the entire game Friday.
"We thought our first period was really good," Evason said.
Admiral Justin Florek scored 4:32 into the contest, as rookie Justin Kirkland assisted on the play to pick up his first point of the year.
Chicago's first goal came from Chris Butler as a result of a Milwaukee turnover behind its own net, but it took the Admirals just 1:27 to regain a 2-1 lead compliments of Trevor Smith's score.
But the Wolves tied it with only 1:19 left in the period on a power-play goal from Ivan Barbashev that snapped the Admirals' 12-for-12 streak on the penalty kill over the previous three games.
Milwaukee's special teams quickly returned to form in the second period, as the Admirals not only had to stop five power plays by Chicago, but also held the Wolves to just 11 shots in the frame.
"(Gunnarsson) kept us in the hockey game," Evason said. "It's hard to continually kill penalties. … We had to do a lot of it. It wore on the entire group, and then we didn't have a lot in the third period to finish the job."
Chicago 2 0 3 — 5
Milwaukee 2 0 0 — 2
First period — 1, MIL, Florek (Oligny, Kirkland), 4:32. 2, CHI, Butler (Agostino), 10:16. 3, MIL, Smith (Kessel, Murphy), 11:43. 4, CHI, Barbashev (Caron, Sterling), 18:21.
Third period — 5, CHI, Dunn (Blais, Ellis), 4:49. 6, CHI, Dunn (Schmaltz, Megan), 11:10. 7, CHI, Agostino (Barbashev, Sterling), 15:28.
Copley, CHI 18 3 10 — 31
Gunnarsson, MIL 7 12 11 — 30
Shots — CHI 9-12-14—35; MIL 20-3-10—33. Penalties / minutes — CHI 7 for 14; MIL 12 for 24. Power plays — CHI 2 for 8; MIL 0 for 3.

Premier League week 12:
Abraham and Pulisic have been on tear for Chelsea. Tammy Abraham has scored 10 goals in the Premier League so far and Christian Pulisic scored his 5th goal in the last 3 games. Both players have been key to Chelsea's success thus far in the Premier League and the Champions League too.
The Blues have recorded a sixth consecutive win, for the first time in more than two years. They won eight out of their first twelve games and sit a the second place alongside Leicester.
Coach Lampard is pleased with the victory:
"Every game in the Premier League is hard, particularly against a team as well organised as Palace are.
The first half, we started really well, a goal probably would have put us in a really good position, but we didn't get it. We allowed the tempo to drop slightly towards the end of the first half.
But we came out for the second half with the intent we did and the extra 10 per cent of urgency in our game.
I wouldn't say we won the game comfortably, but 2-0 is relatively comfortable. It could have probably been more with a bit more end product, but it was a nice solid win with a clean sheet.
On Pulisic:
Christian came from another league, didn't really have a great break. He played some games early on and the pace of the Premier League is tough for any player, that's been proven time and time again.
With Christian, I always believed that he had huge talent and was going to be a big player for us and he's absolutely showing that. He was first-class today, as he has been recently with his energy, movement off the ball, slipping past people, working off the ball and his quality, and getting in areas again to score in and around the six-yard box, which I think is a huge thing for any wide player.

Opinion: Able-bodied adults getting food stamps need to work
Americans, without exception, are some of the most compassionate and charitable people on the planet. Giving USA, an organization which researches charitable giving, estimates in 2016 American's charitable giving totaled $390.05 billion dollars. According to the Charities Aid Foundation Americans give, "because they care about the cause, and because they want to help those less fortunate than themselves." Americans give because they wish to see suffering relieved and lives improved.
In addition to charitable giving, Congress disburses more than 1 trillion tax dollars a year across 89 programs to provide cash, food, housing, medical care, and social services for poor and lower income Americans. Many Americans may object to the amount they pay in taxes, but they are unanimous in their insistence their tax dollars be spent wisely and to achieve a targeted goal.
One of the 89 programs intended to help the poor is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formally known as "food stamps." The SNAP/food stamp program is operated to provide temporary grocery assistance for low-income individuals or the unemployed. While today's improving economy has seen food stamp enrollment drop, approximately 68 billion tax dollars are spent on a program with an enrollment of nearly 42 million people or about 13 percent of the population.
One group whose participation in the food stamp program has increased are "able-bodied adults without dependents" or ABADWDs. These adults range in age from 18 to 49 years of age, are not caring for a child under 18 and, are not pregnant, physically or mentally disabled. Presently, there are an estimated 3 million "able bodied adults" who receive about 6 billion dollars a year in food stamps, according to a recent report on hunger and food programs by The Heritage Foundation. With a national unemployment rate below 4 percent and, employers offering premiums to new hires, it seems implausible that 3 million able bodied adults cannot find employment.
Approximately 90 percent of Americans believe "able-bodied adults" receiving welfare assistance should be required to work or prepare for work. The House and Senate have both passed their versions of a bill which is now in conference committee. The bill contains meaningful provisions to encourage able-bodied adults to rejoin the workforce. At the same time, these work requirements honor the compassion and generosity of Americans whose charity and tax dollars are intended to help those incapable of helping themselves, while giving those who can provide for themselves a "hand up" and the means to join the middle class.
It's time Congress begins to refocus the food stamp program, pulling people out of poverty by adopting food stamp work requirements for able-bodied recipients without dependents.

Dr.Eloise Meneses is a professor of Anthropology here at Eastern University. She has come a long way (literally) to be part of this community. Dr. Meneses was actually born to missionaries who were working in India, and spent much of her childhood there homeschooled by her parents. It wasn't until Dr. Meneses was nine years old that she moved to the United States. Her parents had moved back for personal reasons, and this would prove a huge shift in the trajectory of her life.
Moving to America, Dr. Meneses said she had to completely "relearn her place in society." Entering into the public education system in the fourth grade would prove challenging, but as she will tell you, her whole life has been a "process of learning." She would go on to do her graduate level work at the University of California in San Diego, where she received a PhD in the field of Anthropology. Her upbringing has informed her work, and her unique perspective influences the impact of her teaching here at Eastern University.
Dr. Meneses explained how immediately after getting her doctorate, she would teach as an adjunct professor for a time, but she considered being a mom as her"full-time job." Raising two kids with her husband, who was a minister at the time, is just one more thing Dr. Meneses can look back on in her long journey that brought her to Eastern.
She began her career studying economies in her work Love and Revolutions: Market Women and Social Change in India. However, when she put letters out looking for a full-time teaching job, her interaction with Eastern University refocused her life in a new direction. In her own words: "The Lord lead me to Eastern. Not only could I integrate my faith into my teaching, but I had to." Coming to Eastern allowed Dr. Meneses to fully explore what she believes to be the two most important aspects of her life, "faith and learning." She pointed out how even though we believe different things about the gospels, Eastern is an "energetic Christian place," where we can have those conversations.
Anyone who has taken a course with Dr. Meneses has felt the impact of her life in the classroom. She is someone who is defined by both her accomplishments as an academic professor, but also the life she has lead, and she is an excellent example of how varied and deep each person's walk with Christ can be.

It's no secret that the VA has tried to find ways around the statutorily-mandated rule of two–i.e. VA must set aside procurements for VOSBS if it has a reasonable expectation that it will receive fair and reasonable offers from two or more veteran-owned small businesses.
Although the U.S. Supreme Court has already told VA, in Kingdomware, that it cannot circumvent the rule of two, VA apparently is still seeking ways to avoid it.Continue reading

"How to Achieve Economic Competitiveness in the Western Balkans?"
Commissioned by the Aspen Institute, the Bureau für Zeitgeschehen (BfZ) realized a scenario workshop (6th and 7th March, 2019) in which the participants discussed the impact of global economic development on South and Southeast Europe. With this workshop the BfZ is deepening its previous cooperation with the Aspen Institute in its Southeast Europe Policy Program.
Focusing on the question "How to Achieve Economic Competitiveness in the Western Balkans by 2030?" the participants – among them Helge Tolksdorf (Head of Division EU-Enlargement, South East Europe and Turkey/ Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy), Hendrik Bosshammer (Project Manager for the "South East Europe Competitiveness Outlook"/ OECD) as well as economic experts from the Western Balkans and Germany – analysed trends and drivers of global economic development. Based on these findings the participants developed the future path towards a normative best-case scenario to increase the economic competitiveness of the Western Balkan region until 2030.

Amsterdam Oersoep
- Title
- Amsterdam Oersoep (2016)
- Artists
- Arno Coenen, Iris Roskam, Hans van Bentem
- PR and coordination

Amsterdam Oersoep
Translated as Amsterdam Primordial Soup, Amsterdam Oersoep (2016) is a tribute to the canals of Amsterdam. Artists of this artwork include Arno Coenen and Iris Roskam (known from the ceiling Horn of Plenty in the Markthal Rotterdam), and Hans van Bentem (known for his famous chandeliers from the campaigns of Viktor & Rolf and Madonna).
Amsterdam Oersoep shows 450 m2 of glass mosaic with representations of everything that defines the unique character of Amsterdam. For example, the floor paved with traditional Italian Terrazzo has a pattern designed to resemble archeological excavations. In addition, the immensely large gilded and engraved mirrors display a narrative of water, life and death.The lighting is provided by a total of seven chandeliers. These unique chandeliers are made of recycled bicycle parts, such as gears, head lamps, and handlebars. They refer to the sediment found in the Amsterdam canals and the Dutch tradition of cycling. Furthermore, fourteen three-dimensional stained glass lamps are installed. These ornaments are inspired by, amongst others, classic portal lamps, still visible at the entrances of Amsterdam canal houses. Finally, a beautifully crafted bronze fountain offers visitors precious Amsterdam tolerance elixir to take home and sip from whenever necessary.
No Dutch No GLoryArttenders teamed up with Guy Trigallez and Ruben Duipmans and their team at No Dutch No Glory to capture the public artwork on film. Amsterdam Oersoep is now for anyone to experience!
In the newsBeing involved from the very start, Faye Ellen and Siobhan Burger assisted in the coordination for this three-year project. By setting up a widely communicated PR strategy, Arttenders ensured Amsterdam Oersoep ample attention from international and national art press.
We are proud to have been featured on BoredPanda, the Art Newspaper Russia and many more! All communication was in close collaboration with the communication department of Bouwinvest and press agency Urban Solutions (responsible for overall press). Arttenders managed the art and architectural focused press outreach.

After getting the newest iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro, users may find themselves caught up in the problem of downloading photos from iCloud to iPhone. They may be confused of iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Photo Stream. They also fear that if they get iCloud photos via iCloud restoration, the current data on iPhone will be erased. Don't afraid about that, you can make effective use of the 4 approaches in this article for free to download photos from iCloud to iPhone.
iCloud Photo Stream feature developed by Apple company allows you to transfer photos from iCloud to iPhone with one click option. However, what you ought to remember is that well and stable network connection is the premise of transferring via iCloud Photo Stream. And it will be time-consuming to transfer a large number of photos.
Step 1. Log into your iCloud account and head over to Settings > iCloud > Photos.
Step 2. Under the options of Photos settings, click on 'My Photo Stream' to turn it on.
Step 3. After verifying and activating the iCloud account, the photos on the iPhone will all be transferred to the iCloud. You can then sync the iCloud photos with another iPhone later.
You can also transfer photos from iCloud to iPhone through the assistance of iCloud Photo Library. The photos and videos saved on your iPhone will take up much room. By using iCloud Photo Library, all the photos will be uploaded from your current phone to the iCloud cloud wirelessly, so as to free up more storage on the device. Now you can download photos from iCloud to iPhone via iCloud Photo Library through the steps below.
Step 1. Click on the Settings on your iPhone to bring up the Settings app.
Step 2. Head over to iCloud and click on Photos option.
Step 3. Make sure that 'iCloud Photo Library' and 'Download and Keep Originals' option are turned on if they are turned off. If you are doing so, all of the photos saved on the iCloud will be downloaded to your iPhone or iPad.
Note: If you select 'Optimize iPhone Storage', all the existing photos will be removed from the iCloud to spare more iCloud storage.
It is perhaps that most traditional method to access and download iCloud photos to iPhone. By restoring the iCloud backup, all the data backed up to iCloud will be downloaded to iPhone/iPad including photos. The trouble with this method, however, is that the iPhone data will all be deleted after the iCloud restoration. This explains the reason why we don't recommend iCloud restoration.
Step 1. Set up the iPhone to default settings by erasing all content and Settings on the Settings.
Step 2. On the screen of 'App & Data', select 'Restore from iCloud Backup'.
Step 3. Sign into your iCloud account and select the last iCloud backup that you want to download photos to iPhone.
If your intention to download photos from iCloud to iPhone is to free up space for the iCloud storage, then here is a better alternative tutorial for you. You can export all photos from the iCloud backup and delete them permanently. What can accomplish this is FoneGeek iPhone Data Exporter.
Step 1. When you have downloaded and installed this FoneGeek iPhone Data Exporter on your computer, choose 'Data Recovery ' from the main interface.
Step 2. Tap 'Recover from iCloud Backup File' and input the iCloud account and password. You don't have to worry about the security of your iCloud account, FoneGeek will never keep the account information.
Step 3. When you are logged into the account, the iCloud backup files will all be listed. Select the iCloud backup that save the photos you need to download and tap "Download".
Step 4. After downloading the selected iCloud backup file, all the data types that can be exported will be displayed. Click 'Photos' to preview all the photos contained on the iCloud account, including the deleted and undeleted photos. Then tap 'Recover' to export the iCloud photos to your computer.
Write in the End
It could't be easier to download photos from iCloud to iPhone for free with the 4 available approaches in this article. Carefully read each method and choose the best one for yourself.
Joan J. Mims is interested in researching all tips about iPhone, iPad and Android. He loves to share useful ideas with all users.

After playing catchup for much of the Birmingham Bowl, South Florida tied it up at 24 against Texas Tech when quarterback Quinton Flowers ran for a 5-yard touchdown with 9:30 left in the fourth quarter.
The Bulls' bench was invigorated by the tying touchdown, but nobody's celebration was better than offensive lineman Brooks Larkin's. While the players around him moved up and down cheering in unison, Larkin dropped to the field and spectacularly did the splits.
Amazing. And his super serious face makes this moment even better.
Not exactly the kind of celebration you typically see from a 6-foot-3, 322-pound lineman, but that makes it even more impressive.[jwplayer VLZGVlUW-t2dCqACG]

Curriculum Beyond Credentials: Reclaiming the Subject
By Fernando Murillo
PhD in Curriculum Studies Program
Faculty of Education
University of British Columbia
Curriculum Beyond Credentials: Reclaiming the Subject
January 2016
"Stone upon stone, and man, where was he?
Air upon air, and man, where was he?
Time upon time, and man, where was he?"
Pablo Neruda, section X in Heights of Machu Pichu.
Over the last century, curriculum has been thought of as mainly a matter of determining the right subject-matter contents and arranging them in the right way for a course of study.
The publication of "The Curriculum" in 1918 by Franklin Bobbit provides an important antecedent for the installation of a pervasive logic that would saturate the "common sense" of educational practice. Under the flag of efficiency, Bobbitt introduces the idea of a need for external standards to evaluate and modify educational activity, equating education with the world of factory production of goods. For him, "Education is a shaping process as much as the manufacture of steel rails…" (Bobbitt, 1918, p. 12).
In what could be read as a regressive move, current educational policies and practices are increasingly placing a strong accent on competency-based curricula, in a return to pre-defined behaviours and standardized measurement as a norm to deal with educative practice in direct relation to economic matters (as in policies directed by UNESCO, World Bank, InterAmerican Bank for Development, OCDE).
However, what the reconceptualist movement (Huebner 1997; Pinar 2015) and critical perspectives of education (Freire 1970; Tadeu Da Silva 2001) have helped us see, is that far from a technical, administrative, objective and value-free practice, what is actually at play in curriculum is the mediation of power relations which constitute knowledge and identities. In other words, in the context of institutionalized education, we learn much more than just contents and techniques. We learn ways of being and becoming. As I have stated elsewhere (Murillo 2014; in press), what is at stake – particularly in higher education – is the configuration of structures of thought, action and emotion that predispose future professionals to act in a certain way in the social sphere.
This brings curriculum into the realm of ethics. We are forming a particular type of subject to act in a particular way, with a particular type of society in mind.
In discussing the German tradition of bildung, Wilhelm Van Humboldt (circa 1793) states that in our process of education (understood as formation) "it is the ultimate task of our existence to achieve as much substance as possible for the concept of humanity in our person, both during the span of our life and beyond it, through the traces we leave by means of our vital activity" (p. 58).
This has two implications for the curriculum of higher education: the centrality of the subject as person in the process of study in the acquisition of human substance, and the fact that our vital activity leaves traces.
What traces are our professionals leaving behind their intervention in the world? How are we preparing them to be ethically responsible for the effects of their action?
Considering the psychoanalytic perspective that a fundamental element in the development of the subject is the role of his/her desires (expressed in ideas, beliefs, needs and wants), in the work of curriculum design, development and evaluation it is now fundamental to ask along with Neruda: "and man, where was he?".

Syria's Assad: anybody will be able to run at 2021 election
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the Syrian presidential election in 2021 would be open to anybody who wants to run and that there would be numerous challengers for the presidency.
Assad, who made the comment in an interview broadcast on Monday on Russian state-funded television channel RT, faced two challengers at the 2014 election which he won by a landslide, but which his opponents dismissed as a charade.
"Last time we were three and this time of course we are going to have as much as they want to nominate. There are going to be numerous nominees," Assad said.

I am an ARTIST! I DANCE! I CREATE! No more excuses, no more hiding. Anna Librada Teaching & Performing Artist and Producer is going public. I founded and produce the Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival. I perform. I teach workshops. I organize events where we make paella over an open fire and then feast while watching an intimate flamenco performance akin to the oldest flamenco clubs in Spain. I have a BRAND. I am doing the same things I have been doing for my entire career: teaching, performing, producing but I am finally focusing my energy and getting very intentional. I am shouting loud and proud to the world THIS IS MY WORK and IT HAS VALUE and it is only going to get better from here on out.
In Spain, the first question people ask upon meeting you is 'Where are you from?" Nobody asks, "What do you do?" It's rude. In my years as an adult and wife here in the States, no one had ever asked me what I did because the answer was obvious – it was hanging in the baby carrier on my chest or tugging at my skirt.
Most of my adult life in the States has been as a Navy wife, trying to gracefully solo parent my babies while my husband was away. But then we moved to DC, and everyone's first question is, "What do you do?" I would answer, "nothing." Crickets.
People can't rank my net worth and value. They can't measure my productivity because there's nothing to measure in the traditional sense. Telling people I did "nothing" didn't feel good and my soul would shriek in protest. The alternate, "oh, I birth babies alone and move my family of four plus two large dogs back and forth over the Atlantic every three years all the while trying to become a master of my craft which is an ancient practice that people dedicate entire lifetimes to and still feel like they know nothing…" didn't feel quite appropriate either. But things have changed
This year I'm answering that question clearly and confidently. I'm choosing to embody it, believe it, and live it – fully, no matter what. It has meant a lot of jumping in feet first before I am ready and asking for help where I have never asked for help before.
Jill Lisi of JKL Consulting has taken me through what we joke is therapy for your business as she helps me identify and design my brand. Jill's work has made me focus and become intentional about my goals and vision for the future. She has given me the words to answer the question, "what do you do?" Anna Librada and the HV Flamenco Festival offer experiences of flamenco for people looking for adventure, fun, connection and their authentic selves. Together we delve into the mystery and passion of a flamenco practice while having a great time, supporting each other and learning how to be unapologetically ourselves.
My soul sister and MilspoFAN member is helping me design and launch the Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival website. She and I have had the joy of meeting up weekly and being accountability partners for our arts and dreams. Jess's authenticity and drive are inspiring. She heard my goal to have a website and turned it into reality when she said, "Yes. You need to make your own platform. I will do it for you!" Meeting with Jess motivates me to do the work no matter how worried or scared I am.
Now, the HV Flamenco Festival is going to celebrate its THIRD year. I am fast at work brainstorming ways we can hold the HV Flamenco Festival in spite of ongoing coronavirus worries.
You can follow the Hudson Valley Flamenco Festival on Instagram and Facebook. And look for AnnaLibrada.com soon, too. Please join us on May 16th at 2:00 EST at Milspofan for Flamenco For Everyone.

Introduction: Vegetarian mothers are known to have lower pre-pregnancy nutritional status, thereby posing an increased risk to pregnancy outcomes, including lower maternal fat stores for lactation. This study aimed at analysing the association between predominant breastfeeding on the nutritional status of lactating vegetarian mothers and growth of their breastfed infants. Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted on mother-infant pairs who practised breastfeeding in five cities in Indonesia, selected purposively based on the Indonesia Vegetarian Society database. A total of 42 pairs of vegetarian and 43 pairs of non-vegetarian were followed since delivery to 24 weeks infant age. Anthropometric measurements (weight of infant and mother, length of infant) were taken of each subject every 4 weeks. Finally, 15 vegetarian and 18 non-vegetarian mother-infant pairs who had successfully followed through the 24 weeks of predominant breastfeeding were analysed. Results: Socio-demographic characteristics did not differ between the two dietary groups except in maternal parity. Vegetarian mothers had lower pre-pregnancy BMI but higher pregnancy weight gain compared to non-vegetarian mothers. This study shows that predominant breastfeeding had no effect on infant weight and length but had significant effect on mothers' BMI and weight loss. Conclusions: Without adequate energy intake during lactation, the postpartum nutritional status of the vegetarian mothers declined over time. The mothers in the non-vegetarian group in this study had a significantly greater energy intake compared with the vegetarians. This is the key factor for successful lactation performance of a 6-month duration of predominant breastfeeding as it offers good nutritional outcomes for both the mother and the infant.

(Newswise)–The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded a grant expected to total $5 million over five years to the University of California San Diego School of Medicine to conduct a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of gene therapy for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a condition that often precedes full-blown dementia.
Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses genes or gene products to treat or prevent disease instead of relying on drugs or surgery.
The clinical trial, developed by principal investigator Mark Tuszynski, MD, PhD, professor of neuroscience and director of the Translational Neuroscience Institute at UC San Diego School of Medicine, delivers the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene into the brains of qualifying trial participants where it is hoped it will prompt production of BDNF in nearby cells.
BDNF is part of a family of growth factors (proteins) found in the brain and central nervous system that support the survival of existing neurons and promote growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. BDNF is particularly important in brain regions susceptible to degeneration in AD.
"We found in earlier studies that delivering BDNF to the part of the brain that is affected earliest in Alzheimer's disease — the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus — was able to reverse the loss of connections and to protect from ongoing cell degeneration," said Tuszynski. "These benefits were observed in aged rats, aged monkeys and amyloid mice."
The three-year-long trial will recruit 12 participants with either diagnosed AD or MCI to receive AAV2-BDNF treatment, with another 12 persons serving as comparative controls over that period.
This is the first safety and efficacy assessment of AAV2-BDNF in humans. A previous gene therapy trial from 2001 to 2012 using AAV2 and a different protein called nerve growth factor (NGF) found heightened growth, axonal sprouting and activation of functional markers in the brains of participants.
"The BDNF gene therapy trial in AD represents an advance over the earlier NGF trial," said Tuszynski. "BDNF is a more potent growth factor than NGF for neural circuits that degenerate in AD. In addition, new methods for delivering BDNF will more effectively deliver and distribute it into the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus."
Tuszynski said the clinical trial has begun enrolling participants, but multiple slots remain available. For more information on the trial, contact Michelle Mendoza at (858) 534-8857 or email email@example.com.
In addition to the NIA funding (grant R01AG071656), the gene therapy trial is supported by a gift of $250,000 from philanthropist Darlene Shiley and a grant of $700,000 from the Alzheimer's Association.

The International Copper Association Australia (ICAA) commissioned the University of Sydney's Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering to develop a strategic roadmap to achieve a 'zero-emission copper mine of the future.'
In a 68-page report, the Warren Centre explains that, typically, greenhouse gas emissions through the copper production process are associated with the consumption of fuel in the mining and materials transport processes and indirect emissions from electrical energy use in extractive and beneficiation processes.
"In general, the energy consumption in the primary copper process is dominated by the earlier stages of beneficiation. This is due to the high energy demand requirement to crush and grind ore. Within the mining process loading and hauling, blasting, and ventilation (in the case of underground mining) all consume a higher proportion of energy to other aspects of the mining process," the document states.
Based on a literature review, the report concludes that the average energy intensity and GHG intensity is 2.6 t CO2-eq per tonne of copper produced, a figure that varies by location, extraction methodology, and ore grades.
To move towards a greener mine, the report says that one key strategy is to increase transparency and reporting.
To achieve this, copper miners are asked to account for direct emissions, such as those from sources that are owned and controlled by companies, including onsite power generation; indirect emissions, which are those released into the atmosphere due to the consumption of an energy commodity, for example, emissions from the generation of purchased electricity to enable the copper production process; and finally, all other emissions that are generated indirectly as a result of activities from sources that are not owned or controlled by the company, like the emissions as a consequence of the use of the sold copper cathode for the manufacture of semi-fabricated products.
"Measurements of greenhouse gases are recorded relative to carbon dioxide equivalence (CO2-eq). For instance, a manufacturing or processing company emitting 1 tonne of methane into the atmosphere has the same global warming potential as emitting 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Hence, 1 tonne of methane would be expressed as 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalence," the report reads.
According to the document, emissions can be reported in absolute terms (total CO2-equivalent emissions, or CO2- eq) and intensity terms (CO2-eq per unit). Absolute measurements, however, should be combined with efficiency metrics to understand performance at a company or sector level.
The review recognizes that there are challenges associated with reaching the zero-emission goal, particularly how to achieve emission reduction outcomes while maximizing economic resource productivity at the industrial level, rather than simply offsetting or abating emissions associated with a given product cycle.
Besides transparent reporting, copper miners are encouraged to reach out to existing innovative mining equipment, technology and services (METS) businesses, which can be an important source of new ideas to address emission reduction pathways in the short and medium-term.
According to the Warren Centre, METS can be key players for finding ways to reduce both costs and emissions through innovation, a path that should also include government and research institutions.
"Applying advanced technologies at the discovery and exploration stage of the mining cycle will enable the development of robust ore-deposit identification and exploration models to improve the likelihood of detection of high-grade deposits in greenfield and brownfield sites. Advanced technologies can optimize attractive host rock settings and subsequent future ore recovery," the document reads.
In a series of tables, the report presents specific segments of the discovery phase that can be addressed from existing or in-development innovations with the goal of reducing emissions. The tables are also presented for processes related to material movement, ventilation, mineral processing and water usage.
In summary, when it comes to material movement, the Warren Centre's proposal focuses on the need to further advances in the electrification of mining systems and the transition to automation in all aspects of the mining and material movement process. In particular, it highlights the importance of making use of incremental technologies that are able to deliver technical efficiencies with improved asset availability, reduced maintenance requirements, extended mine life, enhanced productivity and reduced emission outcomes.
For ventilation, the document points to shifts in technology, particularly autonomous systems that are allowing for the deployment of fewer people underground, which means that ventilation systems can be transitioned to be on-demand while power requirements are optimized.
When it comes to mineral processing, targeted innovation efforts that should continue to be explored are technologies to improve crushing and grinding efficiencies, separation and concentrate drying, optimization of processing performance, in addition to measurement technologies to interconnect systems across the whole of plant operations and dry processing technologies.
There is also encouragement to adopt in-situ recovery mechanisms as they have the potential to be a low-impact and selective mining option because they imply the recovery of valuable metals from ore deposits by the circulation of fluid underground and the recovery of the valuable metal from the fluid at the surface for further processing.
Addressing water usage, the report proposes a number of strategies that range from site stormwater capture, treatment and discharge to building slurry pipelines. However, the main focus is on industrial-scale desalination (reverse osmosis) technologies or the use of membrane technology to remove salts and other contaminants from water.
Even though the Centre recognizes that desalinization requires elevated energy inputs, the report also states that the growth in renewable technology is proving to be an effective offset mechanism to the high-energy intensive operations of desalination plants.

In the 2020-21 s.y., we have been working with secondary school children using the Robotel platform.
The project has been a great success in our school. Both English teachers and students have had the opportunity to experience a mode of learning completely innovative and above all effective.
They appreciated both the richness of the content, very comprehensive from the educational point of view, easy to access for everyone, and the simplicity with which you can access it. Learning by playing, having fun, experimenting. It has been very useful for students with learning difficulties who have had ways to verify a more immediate and direct approach to the language and close to their educational needs.
The more experienced students, on the other hand, were able to access the content, greatly expanding their vocabulary and communication skills. Very interesting and effective is the interactivity that the platform provides and the possibility of self-correction that stimulates in the students the ability to correct their mistakes and self-evaluation of their skills.
The use of the platform, finally, has allowed us to ensure throughout the school year teaching both in presence and at a distance by encouraging greater autonomy and personal reworking of what has been learned, in full respect of the time and learning styles of each.
This is the first language lab that the UCR will be hosting in the cloud, a solution that will allow students to improve their command of the languages they are learning. Among the languages included in the program are English, Italian, French, German, Mandarin, Portuguese and Korean.
February 2021
When my students use SmartClass+, it's the most peaceful time of the whole day. No need for discipline and they do what they're supposed to. It's fantastic!

Teachers vote overwhelmingly to maintain unions in initial voting
Thirteen bargaining units representing nearly 1,300 Iowa teachers and faculty have voted overwhelmingly to maintain their union affiliations in the first wave of elections required under Iowa's new collective bargaining laws.
Iowa Public Employment Relations Board staff tallied votes Tuesday, as the two-week voting period drew to a close.
Of the 1,291 eligible voters, 1,101 voted in favor of maintaining their union's bargaining unit while 27 voted to dissolve them. Sixteen ballots were voided and 147 people did not vote.
"I think it's silly we had to do this, but our people understood what's at stake and they voted, and I think they sent a message," said Iowa State Education Association President Tammy Wawro.
Public-sector workers have always voted to certify their unions, granting them permission to collectively negotiate contracts and pay on their behalf. They only faced elections if one of their members petitioned for decertification.
But the state's new collective bargaining laws, which took effect in February, instituted a much steeper hurdle for unions to maintain that authorization.
Now, public-sector unions must re-certify every time they face a new contract negotiation — typically every two or three years.
They also need to win approval from a majority of all employees covered under their contracts — not just a majority of people who vote in the election — or see their bargaining unit dissolved.
Database:Iowa Public-Sector Union Recertifications
Legislative Republicans who crafted the law say the change was intended to make sure unions are being held accountable to all of their members. But labor leaders and union activists say it's an unfair burden designed to reduce the number of unions across the state and weaken their influence.
In this first wave of voting, about 89 percent of all eligible voters participated in the election, the publicly available vote tallies show. Just 147 people did not vote.
Wawro said local presidents knew what was at stake and have risen to the challenge by educating their members and ensuring they voted.
"They're educators, so they taught," Wawro said. "And clearly they did an excellent job."
It was the first test of what will be an ongoing reality for Iowa's public-sector unions. Next month, up to 483 local unions and employee associations will face recertification votes.
"It will be the single largest election this agency has ever had," said Mike Cormack, chair of Iowa's Public Employment Relations Board, which has been tasked with conducting the elections.
The September elections were conducted with mail-in ballots. This next round will be done online and over the phone.
