London's new manager of homeless prevention, Craig Cooper, is the latest to admit there's a growing problem of homelessness in the city and it's more visible to the public.

"I think the numbers are increasing," he told CBC London's Rebecca Zanbergen.

But, Cooper said, efforts are also underway to "think outside the box" to help those in need find shelter one way or another.

Head leases and subsidies

One potential solution is for the city or other community agencies to hold head leases. That means, the city or an agency leads the way in providing shelter.

"So basically, it's where an agency or the city signs the lease for the apartment and holds it," said Cooper. "It prevents individuals from not being able to access apartments for issues like not having I.D. or not having a guarantor or things like that."

Subsidies would likely also be needed to keep that person housed, he said.

The idea is still in the initial stages, said Cooper. Discussions are underway on a regular basis to figure out how best to implement a program involving head leases and subsidies. The legal implications to assess risk management are also being considered.

Day spaces

Another idea in the works is establishing day spaces. These would be offered in small numbers, potentially in shelters that already take individuals in at night, but would only be a place where someone could get some sleep during the day, or grab a meal and a shower.

"So you don't see people sleeping in a vestibule during the day," said Cooper. "We can then start having some conversations about what does housing look like for them and what do supports look like?"

Cooper admits, it's a slow process; workers with the city or different agencies have to develop a relationship with the individual and establish trust.

Right now, Cooper hopes to see 10 beds open up in the next four to six weeks.

Funding solutions

Cooper said the city has budgeted for housing supplements through its community homeless prevention initiative. Funding from the last budget was also earmarked for housing support.

But, he cautions, it's not all about money.

"You can throw money at the problem but without a good plan or collaboration you're not going to get the results you need," he said. "We're working toward improving that here in the city by working with private developers, our social housing providers, London Middlesex Community Housing and all those sorts of agencies to try and find different solutions."

Lesson: Introduction to Taxation Law
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Taxation is the process by which governments collect revenue from individuals and businesses to fund public services and programs. It is an essential part of the legal system that helps to ensure that everyone pays their fair share towards the costs of running society. In this lesson, we will explore the basic concepts of taxation law and learn about the different types of taxes and how they are levied.
## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example. Suppose a person earns $50,000 per year and lives in a state with a flat income tax rate of 5%. The state government would levy a tax of $2,500 from this person's income. Now let's look at another example. Suppose a company sells goods worth $1 million and makes a profit of $100,000. The company would have to pay corporate tax on its profits. The tax rate depends on the jurisdiction, but let's assume it is 20%. The company would owe $20,000 in taxes.
## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Taxation law is an essential part of the legal system, and it affects everyone's life. We encounter taxes every day, whether it's when we file our income tax returns or when we pay sales tax on purchases. Taxation law is also used in many other areas of law, such as estate planning, bankruptcy, and criminal law.
## Glossary
- **Taxation**: The process by which governments collect revenue from individuals and businesses to fund public services and programs.
- **Flat tax**: A tax system where all taxpayers pay the same amount of tax, regardless of their income.
- **Corporate tax**: A tax levied on the profits of companies.
- **Income tax**: A tax levied on individuals' income.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, taxation law is an essential part of the legal system that ensures everyone pays their fair share towards the costs of running society. By understanding the basic concepts of taxation law and its practical applications, we can better understand how taxes work and how they affect our daily lives.

One guy sitting around blogging, even if it gains traction and succeeds as a revenue generating activity, is not a start-up, it is getting lucky. One guy with a business model, a revenue model and a plan for future growth, where the purpose of the activity is specifically to generate income, well, that could be a startup in my book, even if it is also based on blogging. To me it is a question of intent. If there is an intention and a developed business plan to make money, it is a start-up. If it is doing something you like, and you hope you make money from it too, not so much.

text: Three years of occupation by ISIL and a protracted military intervention to retake the area have left the once-thriving Old City of Mosul in northern Iraq devastated by conflict and explosive contamination. The Old City was deserted, covered in millions of tons of rubble strewn with thousands of explosive devices deliberately left behind by ISIL. Of the 5.8 million Iraqis displaced between 2014 and 2017, nearly 4 million have returned to their homes, while others wait for their neighbourhoods, schools and markets to be cleared of deadly explosive devices. Join us as we follow United Nations explosive disposal experts who venture deep into the Old City, putting themselves at risk so others may return safely.. Over 24 million square metres have since been cleared, allowing stabilization activities to begin, and enabling families to return home and resume their lives.. (Footage courtesy of UNMAS Iraq).

Lesson: The Importance of Explosive Disposal in Conflict Zones

Introduction:
Conflict zones are areas where there is violence or war happening. When there is a conflict, people get injured or killed, and property gets damaged. One of the most dangerous things that can happen during a conflict is the use of explosives. These can be bombs, rockets, or other weapons that contain explosive materials. After a conflict, there is often a lot of work to do to clear these explosives from the area so that people can return safely. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of explosive disposal in conflict zones.

Section 1: The Dangers of Explosive Materials
Explosive materials are very dangerous because they can cause a lot of damage when they explode. They can kill people, destroy buildings, and cause fires. When there is a conflict, there are often many explosive materials left behind. These can include unexploded bombs, rockets, and other weapons. They can also include materials that were used to make explosives, such as fertilizer or chemicals.

Question: Why are explosive materials dangerous?
Answer: Explosive materials are dangerous because they can cause a lot of damage when they explode. They can kill people, destroy buildings, and cause fires.

Section 2: Clearing Explosive Materials from Conflict Zones
Clearing explosive materials from conflict zones is a very important job. It is done by people who are trained to handle these dangerous materials safely. They use special equipment and techniques to find and remove explosive materials from an area. This can include searching for hidden explosives, disarming bombs, and removing unexploded rockets.

Question: What is the process of clearing explosive materials from conflict zones?
Answer: The process of clearing explosive materials from conflict zones involves searching for hidden explosives, disarming bombs, and removing unexploded rockets. This is done by people who are trained to handle these dangerous materials safely.

Section 3: The Importance of Explosive Disposal in Conflict Zones
Explosive disposal is very important in conflict zones because it helps keep people safe. When explosive materials are cleared from an area, it is safer for people to return and rebuild. This allows communities to recover from the damage caused by the conflict. Explosive disposal also helps prevent more injuries and deaths from explosive materials.

Question: Why is explosive disposal important in conflict zones?
Answer: Explosive disposal is important in conflict zones because it helps keep people safe. When explosive materials are cleared from an area, it is safer for people to return and rebuild. This allows communities to recover from the damage caused by the conflict. Explosive disposal also helps prevent more injuries and deaths from explosive materials.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the dangers of explosive materials and the importance of clearing them from conflict zones. We also learned about the process of explosive disposal and how it helps keep people safe. By understanding the importance of explosive disposal in conflict zones, we can better appreciate the work of those who risk their lives to make our world a safer place.

text: docetaxel. - A formulation of the poorly soluble, semi-synthetic, second-generation taxane docetaxel encapsulated within liposomes, with antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, docetaxel binds to and stabilizes tubulin, thereby inhibiting microtubule disassembly which results in cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and cell death. This liposomal formulation solubilizes docetaxel without the use of toxic solvents such as Tween 80, permitting the administration of larger doses of docetaxel while avoiding solvent-associated toxicity, including hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, liposomal delivery of docetaxel improves drug penetration into tumors and decreases drug clearance, thereby increasing the duration of therapeutic drug effects while lowering the toxicity profile. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

textbook:
Lesson Title: Introduction to Docetaxel

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Docetaxel is a type of chemotherapy drug used to treat cancer. It works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which rely on microtubules to divide and grow. Docetaxel binds to these microtubules, preventing them from separating and causing the cancer cells to die. This drug is often used to treat breast, lung, and prostate cancers.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
Docetaxel is typically administered intravenously, meaning it is injected directly into the bloodstream. It is usually given in combination with other chemotherapy drugs to increase its effectiveness and reduce side effects. Common side effects of docetaxel include hair loss, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and low blood cell counts.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
One real-world scenario in which docetaxel may be used is in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. In this case, docetaxel may be prescribed in combination with other drugs as part of a chemotherapy regimen. The patient would receive intravenous infusions of docetaxel and other drugs over a period of several months, with the goal of shrinking the tumors and prolonging life.

### Glossary
- Chemotherapy: the use of drugs to treat cancer
- Microtubules: structures within cells that help maintain shape and facilitate movement of materials
- Metastatic: cancer that has spread from its original location to other parts of the body
- Combination therapy: the use of multiple drugs together to treat a condition

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the drug docetaxel and how it works to treat cancer. We also explored practical examples of how this drug is administered and potential side effects. Finally, we considered a real-world scenario in which docetaxel might be used to treat metastatic breast cancer. By understanding the principles behind docetaxel and its applications, we can better appreciate the importance of chemotherapy drugs in cancer treatment.

A logo is a visual representation of a company or organization, which serves as a brand identity. It is essential to create an attractive and memorable logo that represents the values, mission, and vision of the company. In this lesson, we will learn the steps involved in designing a logo and the factors to consider when creating one.

Step 1: Research

The first step in designing a logo is research. You need to understand the company's values, mission, and vision to create a logo that accurately represents them. Research the company's history, products, services, and target audience. This information will help you create a logo that resonates with the target audience and reflects the company's image.

Step 2: Sketching

Once you have researched the company, start sketching ideas. Do not limit yourself to one idea; try out different concepts, fonts, and colors. Sketching helps you explore different design options before committing to a final design. Remember to keep it simple and avoid overcomplicating the design.

Step 3: Refining

After sketching, refine your ideas into digital designs. Use design software to create digital versions of your sketches. Experiment with different colors, fonts, and layouts to find the perfect design that represents the company's image. Ensure that the design is versatile enough to be used on different platforms such as websites, social media, and marketing materials.

Step 4: Feedback

Once you have a final design, show it to the client for feedback. The client may have specific requirements or preferences that you need to incorporate into the design. Take their feedback into consideration and make any necessary changes.

Step 5: Finalizing

After incorporating the client's feedback, finalize the design. Ensure that the logo is visually appealing, memorable, and reflects the company's image. The logo should also be scalable, meaning it should look good when scaled down or up.

Conclusion:

Designing a logo is an essential part of branding a company. By following these steps, you can create a logo that accurately represents the company's values, mission, and vision. Remember to keep it simple, versatile, and memorable. With a well-designed logo, the company can establish a strong brand identity in the market.


text: A character theme for D&D 4E, from the ZEITGEIST adventure path.. In the war academies of Danor, students speak of combat like a science. Their curriculum involves not merely practicing forms and maneuvers, but writing theses about renowned warriors, or crafting and defending theorems regarding the mechanics of swordplay. The normally reserved Danorans honor the graduates of these battle colleges like other nations honor great poets and sculptors. As those warriors have proven their mettle and founded their own schools throughout Lanjyr, the sentiment has spread.. Any brute can hurl a spear or hack through a ribcage, but students of the war academies bring reason to the savagery of war. Often rising to high military ranks, these scholars of battle also learn to balance the diverse considerations of mortal conflict, from the vast scope and human cost of an invasion, down to the emotional resonance and cultural significance of specific sword techniques through history.

Lesson: The Importance of Reason in War

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the importance of reason in war. We will look at how the Danorans, a fictional people from the ZEITGEIST adventure path, approach warfare as a science that involves more than just physical prowess. We will discuss how they use reason to craft theorems about the mechanics of swordplay and how this has led to their honor and respect in society.

Section 1: The Danoran Approach to Warfare
The Danorans believe that war is a science that requires more than just physical prowess. They approach warfare as a discipline that involves reason, strategy, and tactics. This means that they do not just focus on training their soldiers to fight, but they also educate them in the theory of war.

Question: What does the Danoran approach to warfare involve?
Answer: The Danoran approach to warfare involves reason, strategy, and tactics. It goes beyond physical prowess and includes education in the theory of war.

Section 2: The Role of Reason in Warfare
Reason plays a crucial role in warfare. It helps soldiers make informed decisions, plan strategically, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents. By using reason, soldiers can develop effective tactics and strategies that give them an advantage over their enemies.

Question: Why is reason important in warfare?
Answer: Reason is important in warfare because it helps soldiers make informed decisions, plan strategically, and analyze their opponents' strengths and weaknesses.

Section 3: The Impact of Reason on Military Strategy
Military strategy involves planning and organizing resources to achieve military objectives. Reason plays a significant role in developing effective military strategies. Soldiers who are educated in the theory of war can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents and develop strategies that take advantage of their own strengths while exploiting their enemies' weaknesses.

Question: How does reason impact military strategy?
Answer: Reason impacts military strategy by helping soldiers analyze their opponents' strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies that take advantage of their own strengths while exploiting their enemies' weaknesses.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have explored the importance of reason in warfare, focusing on the Danoran approach to warfare as a science that involves reason, strategy, and tactics. We have discussed how reason plays a crucial role in warfare, helping soldiers make informed decisions and develop effective tactics and strategies.

Lesson: Introduction to Bowling Tournaments

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Bowling is a sport that involves rolling a ball towards a target in order to knock over pins. In this lesson, we will learn about bowling tournaments and how they work.

### Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
A bowling tournament is an event where multiple bowlers compete against each other in a series of games. The goal of the tournament is to determine who is the best bowler in the competition.

In a typical tournament, bowlers are divided into groups based on their skill level. Each group plays a round-robin schedule, where each bowler plays every other bowler in their group once. The top bowlers from each group advance to the next round until there is only one winner left.

For example, let's say there are 16 bowlers in the tournament. They would be divided into four groups of four bowlers each. Each group would play a round-robin schedule, which means that each bowler would play the other three bowlers in their group once. The top two bowlers from each group would advance to the next round, leaving us with eight bowlers. This process would continue until there is only one winner left.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
One question you might have is how do bowlers advance to the next round? The answer is that they earn points based on their performance in each game. The bowlers with the most points advance to the next round.

Another question you might have is what happens if two or more bowlers have the same number of points? In this case, a tiebreaker game is played to determine who advances.

### Glossary
- Round-robin schedule: A type of schedule where each bowler plays every other bowler in their group once.
- Group: A division of bowlers based on their skill level.
- Tournament: An event where multiple bowlers compete against each other in a series of games.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about bowling tournaments and how they work. We discussed the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and self-debating discussions related to this topic. By understanding these concepts, we can apply them to new problems and situations in the future.
