An ophthalmoscope is usually a complex optical instrument used for examining the retina of humans and animals. Generally, ophthalmoscopes have more than twenty lenses and from three to six lights and, as such, are intricate and costly to manufacture and buy.
Examples of such know types of ophthalmoscope are disclosed in GB-A-2235308, GB-A-2204144, WO-A-2000/30527 and DE-A-3714041.
Ophthalmoscopes are used routinely during the day-to-day work of doctors, optometrists, veterinary surgeons, health workers and trainees of the above.
However, due to the expensive nature of this instrument, only limited numbers are available for actual use and certainly there is no way that an ophthalmoscope can be provided for each, for example, doctor who needs to use one.
Due to the shortage of these instruments and their complexity, students and even non-specialised medical staff very often do not get a chance to learn how to use this instrument properly.
This situation is worse in less developed and third world countries where in some places there are no ophthalmoscopes available to local doctors or aid workers, because they are simply too expensive to buy or manufacture.
The problem of the restricted numbers of ophthalmoscopes in hospitals, opticians and veterinary surgeries, along with the associated lack of expertise in using the instrument, when available, is therefore potentially serious and any attempt to reduce the complexity of the instrument and the manufacturing costs, is sought.
“Manufacture and Use of Homemade Ophthalmoscopes: a 150th Anniversary Tribute to Helmholtz” a publication from BMJ, 23-30 Dec. 2000, Vol 321, p1557-1559, discloses a simple ophthalmoscope. This instrument, although much simpler and cheaper to produce than standard ophthalmoscopes, has a major problem in that the sight hole through which the retina is observed, causes glare in the observer's eye, thereby severely reducing the view.
Any method of producing cheaply a simple ophthalmoscope which eliminates, or at least substantially reduces, the problems commonly associated with the simple ophthalmoscope disclosed in the above mentioned paper, is therefore sought.

Lesson: How to Use an Ophthalmoscope
Introduction:
An ophthalmoscope is a medical instrument used to examine the retina of humans and animals. It is a complex and expensive instrument that requires proper training to use effectively. In this lesson, we will learn how to use an ophthalmoscope, including its parts, how to assemble and disassemble it, and how to perform an examination.
Parts of an Ophthalmoscope:
An ophthalmoscope consists of several parts, including:
- Handle
- Light source
- Lens system
- Mirror
- Focus adjustment knob
- Eyepiece
Instructions for Assembling and Disassembling an Ophthalmoscope:
1. Hold the handle of the ophthalmoscope and align the light source with the lens system.
2. Turn on the light source by pressing the switch on the handle.
3. Adjust the focus adjustment knob until the image comes into focus.
4. Look through the eyepiece and adjust the focus knob until the image is sharp.
5. To disassemble the ophthalmoscope, turn off the light source and remove the cover from the lens system.
How to Perform an Examination Using an Ophthalmoscope:
1. Ask the patient to look up and to the side, away from the light source.
2. Place the ophthalmoscope on the patient's head and gently move it into position.
3. Adjust the focus adjustment knob until the retina comes into focus.
4. Observe the retina for any abnormalities, such as hemorrhages, edema, or retinal detachment.
5. Record your observations in the patient's medical record.
Conclusion:
Using an ophthalmoscope requires proper training and knowledge of its parts and how to assemble and disassemble it. By following the instructions in this lesson, you can learn how to use an ophthalmoscope effectively and accurately diagnose retinal abnormalities.


text: Are we being sold a false image of India? Worthy organs such as Foreign Affairs and Economic Times gush with superlatives when describing India's economic and political ascent. For the most part we all seem to have bought into it, witness PM Gordon Brown a few days ago. Have been sold a lemon though? Just read this Op Ed piece from the NYT: The Myth of the New India by Pankaj Mishra. The author is a bit of a hate figure for Indian Nationalists, but rarely goes beyond highlighting the obvious flaws and contradictions. Makes for interesting reading either way.

NOAA Fisheries Service will implement catch shares in the Gulf of Mexico commercial grouper and tilefish fisheries beginning January 1, 2010, in an effort to reduce overcapacity and improve profitability and working conditions for commercial fishermen. Under this final rule, expected to benefit grouper and tilefish stocks by encouraging resource conservation among program participants. It does not alter the current allocations of fish between the commercial and recreational sectors.. Here is the press release: and the quote of the day:. “Catch share programs are useful strategies to improve the environmental and economic benefits of our nation’s fisheries,” said Dr. Roy Crabtree, southeast regional administrator for NOAA Fisheries Service. “I applaud the council for working closely with commercial fishermen, environmental groups, and others on this significant accomplishment.”

Lesson: Catch Shares Programs

Introduction:
Catch shares programs are a type of fisheries management tool that has been gaining popularity in recent years. These programs aim to improve the sustainability of fish populations while also providing economic benefits to fishermen. In this lesson, we will explore the concept of catch shares programs and learn about their advantages and disadvantages.

Section 1: What are Catch Shares Programs?
A catch shares program is a type of fisheries management tool that allocates a certain amount of fish to be caught by each fisherman or fishing company. This allocation is based on the historical catch data of each participant, and it is designed to ensure that the total catch does not exceed the sustainable limit of the fish population.

The goal of catch shares programs is to provide a more stable source of income for fishermen while also ensuring that fish populations remain healthy and sustainable. By limiting the total catch, fish populations can recover from overfishing and maintain a balance between the number of fish being caught and the number of fish being reproduced.

Section 2: Advantages of Catch Shares Programs
There are several advantages to implementing a catch shares program in a fishery. Some of these advantages include:

1. Improved Sustainability: Catch shares programs help to ensure that fish populations remain healthy and sustainable by limiting the total catch.

2. Economic Benefits: Catch shares programs provide a more stable source of income for fishermen by providing them with a guaranteed allocation of fish.

3. Reduced Overfishing: By limiting the total catch, catch shares programs help to reduce overfishing and promote the long-term viability of fish populations.

4. Encourages Cooperation: Catch shares programs encourage cooperation among fishermen by creating a shared interest in the sustainability of fish populations.

Section 3: Disadvantages of Catch Shares Programs
While there are several advantages to implementing a catch shares program, there are also some disadvantages that must be considered. Some of these disadvantages include:

1. Cost: Implementing a catch shares program can be expensive, as it requires a significant investment in time and resources to develop and administer the program.

2. Potential for Abuse: There is a risk that some fishermen may attempt to circumvent the catch shares program by engaging in illegal activities such as poaching or misreporting their catch data.

3. Lack of Flexibility: Catch shares programs can be inflexible, as they are based on historical catch data and may not account for changes in fish populations or other factors that could affect the sustainability of the fishery.

Section 4: Real-World Example
One example of a successful catch shares program is the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery in the United States. This fishery was struggling with overfishing and low profitability for fishermen when it implemented a catch shares program in 2011. Since then, the fishery has seen significant improvements in both the sustainability of fish populations and the economic well-being of fishermen.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, catch shares programs are a valuable tool for improving the sustainability of fish populations while also providing economic benefits to fishermen. By limiting the total catch and promoting cooperation among fishermen, catch shares programs can help to ensure the long-term viability of fish populations while also providing a more stable source of income for those who depend on them for their livelihoods.

Glossary:
- Catch shares: a type of fisheries management tool that allocates a certain amount of fish to be caught by each fisherman or fishing company.
- Sustainability: the ability of a fish population to maintain a balance between the number of fish being caught and the number of fish being reproduced.
- Overfishing: the practice of catching too many fish from a population, which can lead to the decline of the population and the collapse of the ecosystem.
- Cooperation: the act of working together to achieve a common goal or set of goals.

Lesson: Introduction to Estate Agency Business

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of an estate agency business and its role in the real estate industry.

**Glossary:**
- Estate agency: A business that helps people buy, sell, or rent properties.
- Real estate: Land and buildings, along with their immprovements, such as buildings, houses, and other structures.
- Market share: The percentage of total sales or demand for a product or service that is captured by a particular firm or group of firms.

**Section 1: Introduction to Estate Agency Business**

An estate agency business is a company that helps people buy, sell, or rent properties. These businesses play an important role in the real estate industry by connecting buyers and sellers, helping them negotiate prices, and ensuring that transactions are carried out smoothly.

**Section 2: Understanding the Role of an Estate Agent**

Estate agents act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. They help sellers determine the right price for their property and then market it to potential buyers. They also show properties to interested buyers, negotiate offers, and handle the paperwork involved in the transaction. In return, estate agents typically earn a commission, which is a percentage of the sale price.

**Section 3: The Importance of Market Share**

Market share is an important metric for estate agency businesses, as it indicates how much of the total market they are capturing. A higher market share means that a business is doing better than its competitors and attracting more customers. By acquiring smaller estate agency businesses like Jon Coombes, larger companies like Peter Alan can increase their market share and extend their geographical reach.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's say that you want to sell your house in Dinas Powys. You could try to do it yourself, but it can be difficult to find buyers and negotiate a fair price. Instead, you could hire an estate agent like Jon Coombes to help you. Jon Coombes would market your house to potential buyers, show it to interested parties, and negotiate the best price for you. Once a buyer is found, Jon Coombes would handle the paperwork and ensure that the transaction is carried out smoothly.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we introduced the concept of an estate agency business and its role in the real estate industry. We discussed the importance of market share and how acquiring smaller businesses can help larger companies increase their market share. Finally, we looked at a practical example of how an estate agent can help a homeowner sell their property. By understanding these concepts, students can gain valuable insights into the real estate industry and the role of estate agency businesses within it.

News articles are an essential source of information about current events and issues. However, not everyone knows how to read and analyze them effectively. In this lesson, we will teach you how to read and analyze news articles like a pro.

Section 1: Reading Techniques

1.1. Start with the headline and lead paragraph: The headline and lead paragraph give you an overview of the article's content. Read them carefully to understand the main idea of the article.

1.2. Look for the date and author: The date and author of the article are crucial because they help you determine the credibility of the source.

1.3. Check for any visuals: Visuals such as images, videos, and infographics can provide additional information and context to the article.

1.4. Read the entire article: Even if you don't agree with the article's stance, it's essential to read the entire article to get a balanced understanding of the issue.

Section 2: Analyzing Techniques

2.1. Identify the source: Determine the credibility of the source by checking the author's background, the publication's reputation, and any potential conflicts of interest.

2.2. Evaluate the evidence: Analyze the evidence provided in the article, including quotes, statistics, and examples. Determine if the evidence is reliable and supports the argument.

2.3. Consider the author's perspective: Understand the author's point of view and how it may influence the article's content.

2.4. Compare and contrast: Compare and contrast the article with other sources to determine if there are any discrepancies or inconsistencies.

Section 3: Applying the Techniques

Now that you know how to read and analyze news articles, let's apply these techniques to a real-world scenario.

Scenario: You want to learn more about a political issue.

1. Find articles from reputable sources on both sides of the issue.
2. Read the articles thoroughly and analyze the evidence provided.
3. Compare and contrast the arguments presented in each article.
4. Determine which side has more compelling evidence and reasoning.

Conclusion:
By following the techniques outlined in this lesson, you can read and analyze news articles effectively. Remember to always approach articles with an open mind and a critical eye to ensure you're getting the full picture.

Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization in patients with spinal cord injury.
Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization of 53 patients with spinal cord injury was studied. Cultures of multiple body sites from patients, the environment, food, and hospital personnel were obtained. K. pneumonaie was cultured from one or more body sites in 46% of male patients. Significant bacteriuria was found in 10% of male patients. Positive cultures of the urethra and perineum for K. pneumoniae were significantly associated with the use of the external condom catheter (p less than 0.05, Fisher's exact test). K. pneumoniae colonization increased with length of stay in the hospital. Serotype 64, the predominant serotype found, was isolated only from patients who had been in the hospital for at least 4 wk and primarily in those patients using the external condom catheter. Urinary drainage bags were frequently colonized with K. pneumoniae at a time when the patients did not have significant bacteriuria. Colonized male patients were found to be the primary reservoir of K. pneumoniae and may serve as the major source for cross-contamination.

Lesson: Introduction to Microbiology - Klebsiella pneumoniae

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative, encapsulated, non-motile, and non-spore-forming bacillus. It is a common cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. In this lesson, we will learn about the colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with spinal cord injury.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

In a study conducted on 53 patients with spinal cord injury, 46% of male patients were found to be colonized with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The colonization increased with the length of stay in the hospital. The predominant serotype found, serotype 64, was isolated only from patients who had been in the hospital for at least 4 weeks and primarily in those patients using the external condom catheter.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Urinary drainage bags were frequently colonized with Klebsiella pneumoniae at a time when the patients did not have significant bacteriuria. This suggests that the patients may serve as the major source for cross-contamination.

### Glossary

- Klebsiella pneumoniae: A gram-negative, encapsulated, non-motile, and non-spore-forming bacillus.
- Colonization: The presence of a microorganism on the body but without causing disease.
- Nosocomial infections: Infections that are acquired in a hospital or other healthcare facility.
- Immunocompromised: Having a weakened immune system due to a medical condition or treatment.
- Encapsulated: Surrounded by a capsule of polysaccharides.
- Non-motile: Unable to move or move poorly.
- Spore-forming: Capable of producing spores.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae in patients with spinal cord injury. We discussed the theoretical concepts of Klebsiella pneumoniae, its characteristics, and the significance of the study. We also looked at practical examples of the study and real-world scenarios. Finally, we defined key terms used in the lesson.

By understanding the colonization of Klebsiella pneumoniae, we can better understand the importance of proper hygiene and infection control measures in healthcare settings. This knowledge can be applied to new problems and scenarios involving nosocomial infections and the identification of potential sources of cross-contamination.

**Lesson: How to Transfer a Domain**

## Introduction

Transferring a domain is a process that involves changing the registrar of a domain name while keeping the domain name registration details the same. This process is time-consuming, but with the right guidance, it can be done quickly and efficiently. In this lesson, we will learn about the steps involved in transferring a domain, the importance of choosing the right registrar, and how to avoid common mistakes during the transfer process.

## Section 1: Steps Involved in Transferring a Domain

There are several steps involved in transferring a domain, including:

1. Verifying the Domain Ownership: Before starting the transfer process, you need to verify that you are the rightful owner of the domain name. This is usually done by sending an email to the domain contact email address listed in the WHOIS record.

2. Getting the Authenticating Code (AuthCode): Once you have verified your ownership of the domain, you will need to get an AuthCode. This is a code sent to the domain owner's email address by the losing registrar.

3. Initiating the Transfer Process: After getting the AuthCode, you need to initiate the transfer process with the gaining registrar. You will need to provide the gaining registrar with the domain name, the AuthCode, and your account information with the losing registrar.

4. Approving the Transfer: Once the transfer process has been initiated, an email will be sent to the domain owner's email address asking for approval of the transfer. This email will contain a link that needs to be clicked to approve the transfer.

5. Completing the Transfer: After the transfer has been approved, the transfer process will be completed, and the domain name will be transferred to the new registrar.

## Section 2: Choosing the Right Registrar

Choosing the right registrar is crucial when transferring a domain. You want to choose a registrar that offers reliable services, competitive pricing, and good customer support. Some things to consider when choosing a registrar include:

1. Pricing: Compare the pricing of different registrars to find one that offers competitive rates.

2. Services: Look for a registrar that offers a variety of services, such as domain name registration, web hosting, and email services.

3. Customer Support: Choose a registrar that offers good customer support, including phone, email, and live chat support.

4. Reputation: Research the reputation of the registrar to ensure that they are reliable and have a good track record.

## Section 3: Common Mistakes to Avoid

There are several common mistakes that people make when transferring a domain, including:

1. Not Verifying Ownership: Failing to verify ownership of the domain before starting the transfer process can delay the transfer or even result in its cancellation.

2. Not Getting the AuthCode: If you do not get the AuthCode from the losing registrar, you will not be able to complete the transfer process.

3. Providing Incorrect Information: Providing incorrect information during the transfer process can result in delays or even cancellation of the transfer.

4. Not Approving the Transfer: Failing to approve the transfer when requested can result in the cancellation of the transfer.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, transferring a domain involves several steps, and choosing the right registrar is crucial. By following the steps involved in transferring a domain and avoiding common mistakes, you can successfully transfer your domain to a new registrar.

Labour has called the Government's promised infrastructure boost both "too little, too late" and "irresponsible" in its scope.

Finance Minister Steven Joyce on Thursday said $11 billion would be spent over the next few years on top of existing plans. Few specifics were given, with more details expected in next month's Budget.

Speaking to The AM Show on Friday morning, Labour MP Carmel Sepuloni said Kiwis are "looking around, feeling like the health system isn't serving them right, the education system is feeling inadequate".

"As for transport, if you live in Auckland it's the bane of everyone's existence."

National MP Judith Collins, also on The AM Show, agreed New Zealand has long neglected infrastructure.

"We underdo everything, because we always think we're not very big and we won't get very big because we lose lots of people to Australia… nowadays we're getting Aussies coming here to live."

The difference now is the Government's books are back in the black, and there's room to both spend and pay down debt.

"You can't spend on infrastructure if you don't have the money to spend on infrastructure. We are now in a financial situation where we can commit not just for now, but the next four years."

While saying $11 billion was not enough, Ms Sepuloni also said turning on the spending tap was "irresponsible" given the Government's long-stated desire to cut taxes.

"Judith has just said there's only a certain amount of money, but they're still considering tax cuts."

But Mr Joyce said on Thursday tax cuts were off the table this year, with only bracket adjustments under consideration.

Record immigration - help or hindrance?

Labour has promised to cut immigration by tens of thousands, blaming the record numbers of new arrivals are pushing the transport system and housing to their limits. Ms Collins says this would send a harmful message to the rest of the world.

"If you just turn off the tap today, the message goes out New Zealand's not interested in new skills, new people coming in or more capital coming in. That can have a flow-on effect for years.

"We are competing with countries like Canada, Australia, the states, the UK for skilled immigrants and people who can actually add value - and most immigrants add tremendously in terms of GDP, skills and what they bring to New Zealand.

"We're all the children of immigrants or grandchildren or great-grandchildren. New Zealand is built on immigration."

Labour has yet to release its immigration policy.

Earlier this week party leader Andrew Little slammed potential coalition partner Winston Peters' claim "Asian immigrant" journalists have been writing "propaganda", calling the New Zealand First leader's comments "out of order".

Labour itself has been accused of dog-whistling, particularly during the "Chinese-sounding names" controversy of 2015.

Ms Sepuloni told The AM Show it's not racist to question immigration numbers.

"It's so frustrating every time you want to have a rational conversation about immigration, then all of these allegations start getting thrown at you. We have to be able to talk about it."

Lesson: Introduction to Infrastructure

In this lesson, we will learn about infrastructure and its importance in our daily lives. We will explore what infrastructure is, why it is necessary, and how it affects us.

**Section 1: What is Infrastructure?**

Infrastructure refers to the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise. It includes things like roads, bridges, airports, seaports, power plants, water supply systems, and more. These structures and facilities are essential for the smooth functioning of our society and economy.

**Section 2: Why is Infrastructure Important?**

Infrastructure is important because it provides the foundation for economic growth and development. It enables us to move goods and services, communicate with each other, and access essential services like healthcare and education. Without proper infrastructure, our economy would grind to a halt.

**Section 3: How does Infrastructure Affect Us?**

Infrastructure affects us in many ways. For example, when we drive on well-maintained roads, we can get to our destinations faster and safer. When we fly out of modern airports, we can reach our destinations quickly and efficiently. When we have access to clean drinking water, we stay healthy and hydrated. All of these things are made possible by infrastructure.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's consider a few practical examples to illustrate how infrastructure affects us. Imagine you are a farmer who needs to transport your crops to market. If there are well-maintained roads and efficient transportation systems in place, you can get your crops to market quickly and easily. This means you can make more money selling your crops, which helps you support your family and grow your business.

Now imagine you are a tourist visiting New Zealand. If there are modern airports and efficient transportation systems in place, you can easily travel around the country and see all of its beautiful sights. This means you are more likely to have a positive experience in New Zealand, and you are more likely to come back and visit again.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, infrastructure is an essential part of our society and economy. Without it, we would not be able to function effectively. By understanding the importance of infrastructure, we can appreciate its role in our lives and work towards building a better future for ourselves and future generations.

**Glossary:**

- Infrastructure: The basic physical and organizational structures and facilities needed for the operation of a society or enterprise.
- Economic growth: The increase in the overall size of the economy over time, resulting in higher living standards and greater wealth for the population.
- Development: The process of improving or expanding something, such as infrastructure, to enhance its value, usefulness, or importance.

**Self-Debating Discussion:**

Do you think infrastructure is important? Why or why not? What would happen if we did not have proper infrastructure in place? How might this affect our daily lives and our economy?

Month: August 2018

From day one, we have been eager to encourage our Highland Titles lairds to camp on their land. From teenage days I have enjoyed wild camping and my thoughts were that if I could persuade anyone to give it a try, they might become hooked on the experience and begin a lifetime of hillwalking. However the option has never been widely taken up. Talking to lairds I discovered that many of the potential campers have reached a time in their lives when they prefer a proper mattress. i sympathise. Sadly I am now in the same place.

One of our local supporters makes a living from renting out gypsy caravans and I started to investigate this option. I was soon persuaded that a better solution was a shepherd’s hut.

These huts on wheels were once a feature of farms that bred sheep. The shepherd needed to be with his flock 24/7 during lambing and a hut with a mattress and a log burning stove (to keep the shepherd – and orphan lambs – warm) was easier to build and more roomy inside.

I soon discovered that the best huts were made by Blackdown Shepherd Huts so I went to investigate and bought two of their kits. Cheaper to buy, easier to transport and we could use a lot of local timber which I could be sure was from sustainable sources.

One hut kit has become our magnificent reception/shop and the second is now available for people who would like to experience waking up in a wood but who don’t want to rough it too much!

The “Laird’s Lodge” has power and light, a log burning stove, a fridge and cooker in the kitchinette, table and chairs, a queen size bed and a private toilet. It is available to lairds and ladies via AirBnB for a night that will be gloriously unforgettable. https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/25400524?s=1

Highland Titles staff have been working overtime recently shipping extra orders to Germany in what is often a quiet month. The reason; advertising.

During the 2018 gathering Highland Titles welcomed an independent journalist who spent time with us, met us and learned about the work we are doing. The result was an excellent little film advertising our work, which was published in the prestigious German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine . We were indeed fortunate that the video featured, in addition to myself and some of our happy lairds and ladies, the famous author Andy Wightman MSP, who has advocated wider land ownership for many years.

Of course Andy has no training in Scottish law, so offering advice on Scottish law concerning the sale of Scottish souvenir plots was rash to say the least. However we thank him for taking time out of his busy schedule, as a member of the Scottish Parliament, to contribute to one of our advertising features. His appearance is especially brave as we are aware that he personally faces significant legal troubles concerning previous inaccurate comments that he has made.

Despite it being unclear to what extent he endorses our work, I would like to show our gratitude and my appreciation of his appearing in our film and for his campaign for more diverse Scottish land ownership. So there is a square foot of Glencoe Wood waiting for the future “Laird Wightman” if he would care to let me know where to send it.

It would be hard not to be angry about this failed zoo. The publication yesterday, in the Times, of yet more reports of animal neglect, simply raise our blood pressure, over and above the status that the annual celebration of animal cruelty that is Eid Mubarak. Superstitions have a lot to answer for.

You may recall that this sorry tale began with the escape of a lynx named Lillith. She managed tor evade capture over several days but was finally shot by a local marksman.

Another lynx died at the “Kingdom” shortly afterwards, amply demonstrating the inexperience of the zoo’s owners, the Tweedy’s (no, not from “Chicken Run”) who are a psychotherapist and a street artist. Quite why anyone would trust them to care for wild animals beggars belief.

That they are still operating is a disgrace. That they are almost bankrupt is unsurprising. That animals continue to die is desperately sad. I wish I could do something to help. Something to think about….

Like other business minded conservation groups, we rely to some extent on the help and advice of public relations companies. Our biggest opportunity in the marketplace, apart from the good work that we do, is our exciting and novel way of raising money. Who doesn’t want a bit of land in Scotland? Much more fun than a membership card. Unfortunately, our biggest problem is the cost of advertising what we do. Of the 7.6 billion people on the planet, conservatively 7.5 billion have never heard of us. When people realise what we are selling and how we use the profits from those sales, we do very nicely.

Enter BML Public Relations, our American PR company. Last year they had the original idea of giving everyone in Scotland, Connecticut a free square foot. I liked the idea. The worst that could happen was that we would give away product to 1,694 people and make them very happy. Could be worse. At best, they would all then buy a plot for Uncle Duncan (most of our sales are repeat business), and we would get some free publicity (the sort we prefer).

“The story of a town full of lairds and ladies was an easy pitch to features, lifestyle and seasonal writers from the top 100 designated market areas. By targeting writers at national outlets that covered hyperlocal beats, BMLPR secured an article on APNews.com, which was shared by more than 125 outlets throughout the country, including FOXBusiness.com, ABCNews.go.com, CNBC.com, NYTimes.com, BostonGlobe.com and more.

Ultimately, the stunt delivered 268 media placements and close to 1 billion impressions, along with a holiday sales increase of 34 percent. It’s a great example of taking a typical holiday gift guide pitch to a new level.”

And we are pleased to say that Chicago based PR Daily awarded BML Public Relations and Highland Titles first place in their annual Ragan Awards program, which celebrates the greatest campaigns, initiatives and one-offs in the communication, PR, marketing and media industries.

We are used to accolades for our conservation work but this is the first time that our advertising has been recognised. Full marks to our Marketing Director, Styephen Rossiter, for making this happen.

Lesson: Recycling Fundraiser

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about recycling fundraisers and how they benefit the environment and the community. We will explore the process of collecting and sorting clothing items, and how it helps to raise funds for charitable organizations.

Section 1: What is a Recycling Fundraiser?

A recycling fundraiser is an event where people donate their used clothing, shoes, linens, and handbags to a charitable organization. The organization then pays by the pound for all the clothing donations collected. These fundraisers benefit both the environment and the community by reducing waste in landfills and raising money for charitable causes.

Section 2: How does a Recycling Fundraiser work?

The process of a recycling fundraiser involves collecting used clothing items from the community and sorting them into categories such as clothes, shoes, linens, and handbags. The organization then sells these items to textile recyclers or other businesses that can use them. The money raised from the sale of these items goes towards supporting the charitable organization's cause.

Section 3: Why should we participate in a Recycling Fundraiser?

Participating in a recycling fundraiser is a great way to help the environment and the community. By donating our used clothing items, we reduce waste in landfills and help to conserve natural resources. Additionally, we are supporting charitable organizations that work to improve the lives of others.

Section 4: Practical Examples

Let's say that you have a closet full of clothes that you no longer wear. Instead of throwing them away, you decide to donate them to a recycling fundraiser. The organization collects your clothes and other items and pays by the pound for all the clothing donations collected. The money raised from the sale of these items goes towards supporting a local charity that provides mentorship programs for children.

Another example is a school that hosts a recycling fundraiser to raise money for a new playground. They collect used clothing items from the community and sell them to a textile recycler. The school earns money from the sale of these items, which they use to purchase a new playground for their students.

Conclusion:

Recycling fundraisers are a great way to support charitable organizations while also helping the environment. By donating our used clothing items, we can reduce waste in landfills and raise money for important causes. Participating in a recycling fundraiser is a simple yet impactful way to make a difference in our community.


text: Hey schedule. The holidays definitely didn’t help either, they were so busy for us here in Texas. Anyways, two weeks ago we got a new addition to the family, so meet Moo moo!!. Moo Moo (or mumu / moo for short) is an Olde English Bulldogge. We got her exactly two weeks ago when she was 12 weeks old so she is 14 weeks now. We’ve been wanting a big dog for a while but couldn’t get one since we were traveling and living in other countries, since we are stateside now we decided to get one! She is going to be 60+ pounds when she is fully grown and is currently a ball of energy. We named her Moo Moo because when we got her she was this little ball of fat that resembled a baby cow 🙂. Her favorite things include eating like a pig, chewing on anything she can get her mouth on, and terrorizing her Brother, Cuzzo, and sister, Rosalie. She is a mess, but we love her!! 🙂. One thought on “Meet Moo Moo”. Excellent photos of this magnificent animal! She appears to me to have the makings of a Best in Show dog!!

Lesson: Introduction to Olde English Bulldogges
Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about Olde English Bulldogges, a breed of dog known for their unique appearance and personality. We will cover their history, physical characteristics, and temperament, as well as discuss the responsibilities that come with owning a pet of this breed.
History:
The Olde English Bulldogge, also known as the Old English Bulldog or the Victorian Bulldog, is a relatively new breed that was developed in the 1970s by a man named David Leavitt. His goal was to create a breed that closely resembled the original bulldogs of the 17th century, which were larger, more athletic, and had a better temperament than the modern English Bulldog.
Physical Characteristics:
The Olde English Bulldogge is a large, muscular dog with a distinctive appearance. They have a broad head, a thick, low-slung body, and powerful legs. Their coat comes in a variety of colors, including brindle, fawn, white, and red. One of the most distinctive features of the Olde English Bulldogge is their "rope" or "chain" coat, which gives them a unique, wrinkled appearance.
Temperament:
Olde English Bulldogges are known for their friendly, outgoing personalities. They are loyal, affectionate, and good with children. However, they can be protective of their families and may be wary of strangers. This breed is generally not aggressive, but they may be stubborn and require consistent training and socialization.
Responsibilities of Owning an Olde English Bulldogge:
Owning an Olde English Bulldogge is a big responsibility. These dogs require a lot of attention, exercise, and training. They are prone to health issues such as hip dysplasia, heart disease, and allergies, which require regular veterinary care. It is also important to socialize them properly to prevent aggression or shyness.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Olde English Bulldogge is a unique and lovable breed that requires a committed owner. They are friendly, loyal, and good with children, but may be stubborn and require consistent training and socialization. If you are considering adding an Olde English Bulldogge to your family, make sure you are prepared for the responsibilities that come with owning this breed.

Lesson: How to Recover Funds for Clients

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about how to recover funds for clients using legal methods. We will cover the steps involved in recovering funds, the importance of a well-crafted demand letter, and the role of litigation in recovering funds. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the legal process of recovering funds for clients and apply these skills to new problems.

Section 1: Steps Involved in Recovering Funds

Topic 1: Identifying the Amount Due
The first step in recovering funds for clients is to identify the amount due. This involves reviewing the contract and determining the amount of money that is owed to the client.

Topic 2: Drafting a Demand Letter
Once the amount due has been identified, the next step is to draft a demand letter. A demand letter is a formal letter that is sent to the other party requesting payment of the amount due. It is important that the demand letter is well-crafted and includes all the necessary information, such as the amount due, the basis for the claim, and the consequences of not paying.

Topic 3: Negotiating with the Other Party
After sending the demand letter, the next step is to negotiate with the other party. This involves communicating with the other party to try to reach a settlement agreement. It is important to be persistent and patient during this stage, as it may take some time to reach a settlement.

Section 2: Importance of a Well-Crafted Demand Letter

Topic 1: Establishes the Basis for the Claim
A well-crafted demand letter is essential because it establishes the basis for the claim. It sets out the facts and legal arguments that support the client's position, which can be used as evidence in court if the case goes to litigation.

Topic 2: Establishes a Deadline for Payment
A well-crafted demand letter also establishes a deadline for payment. This gives the other party a specific time frame in which to respond to the demand. If the other party fails to respond within the specified time frame, the client can proceed with litigation.

Topic 3: Sets Out the Consequences of Not Paying
A well-crafted demand letter also sets out the consequences of not paying. This includes the potential for further legal action, such as a lawsuit, which can result in additional costs and fees for the other party.

Section 3: Role of Litigation in Recovering Funds

Topic 1: When Litigation is Necessary
Litigation is the process of taking legal action against the other party. It is usually the last resort when attempts to negotiate a settlement have failed. Litigation can be expensive and time-consuming, so it is important to carefully consider whether it is necessary in a particular case.

Topic 2: Types of Litigation
There are different types of litigation, including civil litigation and administrative litigation. Civil litigation involves disputes between private parties, while administrative litigation involves disputes with government agencies.

Topic 3: Importance of Evidence in Litigation
Evidence is crucial in litigation. It is used to support the client's position and to refute the other party's claims. Evidence can include documents, witness testimony, and expert opinions.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the steps involved in recovering funds for clients, the importance of a well-crafted demand letter, and the role of litigation in recovering funds. By understanding these concepts, we can apply these skills to new problems and help clients recover the funds they are owed.

Glossary:
- Contract: A legally enforceable agreement between two or more parties that defines and governs their relationship.
- Demand Letter: A formal letter sent to the other party requesting payment of the amount due.
- Litigation: The process of taking legal action against the other party.
- Evidence: Information presented in court to support the client's position and refute the other party's claims.

The “Awtomat Kalaschnikow”, is the world’s most renowned automatic weapon. In the dance production “Kalaschnikowa”, parallels can be drawn between the sounds made by the weapons rapid firing and the volley-like stomping of Flamenco dance.

In an interplay of thematic and physically reactive connecting points, the energies of perpetrator and victim, and of violence and vulnerability are investigated. Under whichever ideology one fires: the shots brutally perforate the silence, the soul’s space, the principles of live and let live, and our sense of security. The body rests the series of stomps from itself, fights for and through them. The footwork battles against the floor, the body, and the acoustics of the space, working against the exterior and the interior. The body becomes both the perpetrator and the victim itself possessed in one body, sometimes firm and armoured, other times cracked and fragile. The firing of the feet find resonance and reception in the bodies which produce them and which they collide with. These processes are self-inducing. They burst and rebound, create tension to release and collapse. The weapon, becomes a construct for destruction.

Vera Köppern performs this engagingly abstracted and often schizophrenic performance. She directs the audience’s attention with her differentiated rhythmic play and movement impulses. The recording device staged in the middle of the space, supports her performance visually and acoustically while she composes footwork patterns which are looped, delightfully extended, and developed. These compositions become the audio landscape for her movement. The audience is drawn in by this raw interplay of layered rhythms, and then enthralled by the kinesthetic-musical pull Köppern creates. Madness and fascination ensue.

Lesson: The Power of Dance and Music in Expressing Emotions

Introduction:
Dance and music are powerful forms of expression that can evoke emotions and tell stories without the use of words. In this lesson, we will explore how dance and music can be used to express emotions and convey messages.

Section 1: The Connection Between Dance and Music

Question: How do dance and music relate to each other?
Answer: Dance and music are closely related because they both use rhythm, melody, and harmony to create a mood or tell a story.

Example: In the Flamenco dance style, dancers use their feet to create a rhythmic pattern that is complemented by the sound of a guitar or other musical instrument.

Definition: Rhythm refers to the pattern of beats in a piece of music, while melody refers to the sequence of notes that make up a tune. Harmony refers to the combination of different notes that create a pleasing sound.

Section 2: Expressing Emotions Through Dance

Question: How can dance be used to express emotions?
Answer: Dance can be used to express emotions by conveying a mood or telling a story through movement and body language.

Example: In the dance production "Kalaschnikowa," the stomping of the dancers' feet creates a volley-like sound that represents the violence and vulnerability of the victims.

Definition: Body language refers to the non-verbal communication that is used to convey emotions or attitudes through posture, facial expressions, and gestures.

Section 3: Conveying Messages Through Music

Question: Can music be used to convey a message?
Answer: Yes, music can be used to convey a message by creating a mood or telling a story through the use of rhythm, melody, and harmony.

Example: In the song "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen, the lyrics and music together create a powerful message about the struggles faced by working-class Americans.

Definition: A mood is the emotional atmosphere created by a piece of music, while a message is the meaning or idea that is conveyed through the lyrics or theme of a song.

Conclusion:
By exploring the connections between dance and music, we can see how these art forms can be used to express emotions and convey messages. Whether it's through the rhythmic stomping of feet in Flamenco dance or the powerful lyrics of a protest song, dance and music have the power to move us and inspire us to action.

[Results of the therapy of the carcinoma of the breast by partial mastectomy evaluation after over 15 years (author's transl)].
Between 1950 and 1960, 118 partial mastectomies in the treatment of early breast cancer have been carried out in four different techniques with block dissection and radiotherapy. The 5-10-15 year survivals were compared to a similar selection of 217 patients with radical operations. No significant differences could be found between the 5 and 10 years survival rates, but the number of patients living longer than 15 years is much higher following radical operation chiefly in the cases with stage II. It is probably caused by the double frequency of local recidives following partial mastectomy, and after their treatment no patients survived to the 15th year. Partial mastectomy is no routine procedure. It is carried out when the patient refuses radical operation. The partial mastectomy should be the subject of a controlled clinical study.

Lesson: Introduction to Cancer Treatment

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about cancer treatment, specifically partial mastectomy, and its effectiveness in treating early-stage breast cancer. We will explore the different techniques used in partial mastectomy, compare its survival rates with other treatments, and discuss the importance of controlled clinical studies.

### Section 1: Understanding Cancer Treatment
Cancer is a disease where cells in the body grow uncontrollably and form tumors. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that affects the breast tissue. Treatment options for breast cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. In this lesson, we will focus on surgery, specifically partial mastectomy.

### Section 2: Partial Mastectomy Techniques
Partial mastectomy is a surgical procedure where only part of the breast is removed. There are different techniques used in partial mastectomy, including:

1. Quadrantectomy: This technique involves removing one-quarter of the breast tissue.
2. Segmental mastectomy: This technique involves removing a larger portion of the breast tissue, usually a segment or half of the breast.
3. Modified radical mastectomy: This technique involves removing the entire breast, some lymph nodes, and the pectoralis major muscle.

Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of technique depends on the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and their preferences.

### Section 3: Survival Rates and Clinical Studies
A study conducted between 1950 and 1960 compared the survival rates of patients who underwent partial mastectomy to those who underwent radical mastectomy. The study found that there was no significant difference in survival rates at 5 and 10 years, but there was a higher number of patients living longer than 15 years following radical mastectomy, especially in stage II cases.

The study also found that partial mastectomy had a higher rate of local recurrence, which may have contributed to the lower survival rates. The authors concluded that partial mastectomy should not be performed routinely and should only be considered when the patient refuses radical mastectomy.

Controlled clinical studies are essential to determine the effectiveness of different treatments and to ensure that patients receive the most appropriate care.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about partial mastectomy, a surgical procedure used to treat early-stage breast cancer. We explored the different techniques used in partial mastectomy and compared its survival rates to radical mastectomy. We also discussed the importance of controlled clinical studies in determining the effectiveness of different treatments.

By understanding the principles of cancer treatment and the factors that contribute to effective outcomes, we can make informed decisions about our health and the health of our loved ones.

Lesson: Introduction to Charitable Events

## Section 1: Theory
In this lesson, we will learn about charitable events and why they are important. A charitable event is an organized activity that raises money or awareness for a specific cause, usually a non-profit organization. These events can take many forms, such as walks, runs, bike rides, or even ice hockey games.

Charitable events are important because they bring people together to support a common cause. They help raise awareness and funds for organizations that may not have the resources to do so themselves. By participating in these events, individuals can make a difference in their community and the world at large.

## Section 2: Practice
Now, let's put our theory into practice. Imagine you are organizing a charitable event for a local animal shelter. You decide to host a walk-a-thon where participants can sponsor animals in need by walking a certain distance. Here are some steps you can take to make your event successful:

1. Set a goal: Determine how much money you want to raise and how many people you want to participate in the event.

2. Plan the event: Choose a date, time, and location for the walk-a-thon. Create a route that is safe and easy to follow.

3. Promote the event: Use social media, flyers, and word of mouth to spread the word about your event. Encourage people to sign up and donate to the cause.

4. Organize the day of the event: Make sure you have enough volunteers to help direct participants, manage registration, and keep the event running smoothly.

5. Thank your supporters: After the event, send out thank you notes to everyone who participated and donated. Let them know how much their support means to the animal shelter.

## Section 3: Glossary
Here are some key terms related to charitable events that we will use throughout this lesson:

- Charitable event: An organized activity that raises money or awareness for a specific cause.
- Non-profit organization: A group that uses its surplus revenues to achieve its goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends.
- Fundraising: The process of gathering contributions from individuals, businesses, or other organizations to support a cause.
- Sponsorship: When a person or company provides financial support for an event or activity.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about charitable events and how they can make a difference in our community. We practiced planning a walk-a-thon for a local animal shelter and discussed key terms related to the topic. By understanding the importance of charitable events and how they work, we can make informed decisions about how to support causes we care about.
