How to Buy Tron

Tron (TRX) is an offshoot of the blockchain; a decentralized platform that was launched to establish a free digital content entertainment that features storage technology, as well as simple and affordable digital content sharing.

Currently, Tron cannot be purchased with fiat currency; however, it can be purchased with other types of cryptocurrency that is more widely accepted; examples include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

What is Tron?

Tron is a decentralized entertainment and content-sharing blockchain- and peer-to-peer-based platform. Anyone can use the platform to distribute content or to access it. Tronix is the token that is used on the Tron blockchain. This token is used to pay for content.

Tron was developed in 2017 by the Tron Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Singapore. Justin Sun is the CEO of the Tron Foundation, and the foundation features its own in-house development team.

Tron’s objective is to eliminate the middleman and instead connect creators and consumers of content directly. It does this by utilizing the blockchain and peer-to-peer network technology. The end result is savings for consumers and better collection for creators by way of direct receipts.

In other words, content producers can sell their content directly to consumers, and consumers can pay the producers they purchase content from directly; there is no middleman.

In addition to content, Tron is also used for gaming and gambling. It offers legitimate gambling games that are based on the blockchain.

With Tron, you can share content with people around the world, and you’re also compensated for the content – and the data- that you develop. In other words, Tron puts users into control of their content and their purchases.

Tron cryptocurrency is divided into three parts, and each part as a different value:

  1. Tronix (TRX), which is used for trading content on the platform
  2. Tron Power, the currency that’s used to pay for rewards
  3. Tron 20, the currency that’s used to run decentralized applications and personal tokens

To summarize, Tron is a:

  • Decentralized, peer-to-peer technology
  • A marketplace for content producers and consumers
  • A digital gambling network
  • A cryptocurrency

Where to Buy Tron?

As mentioned, Tron can only be purchased using other types of cryptocurrency; it cannot be purchased with fiat. However, Tron cryptocurrency can be purchased at several crypto exchanges around the world. Some of the different exchanges where Tron can be purchased include:

Marantz BD7004 Blu-ray Player Review

rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star rating-star

Key Specifications

  • Review Price: £639.90

The BD7004 is the middleman in Marantz’s latest Blu-ray line-up, sandwiched between the reference-class UD9004 and entry-level BD5004. With a price tag pushing £700 it’s clearly aimed at buyers who take home cinema seriously, and that’s reflected in the classy build quality and high-grade electronics lurking inside it.

But with a number of much cheaper players on the market, packed with all sorts of cutting-edge features and impressive picture tech, the BD7004 needs to come up with something special to justify the extra expense.

You certainly feel like you’re getting £700 worth of player when you first haul it from the box. Thanks to an extra metal plate fixed to the top cover, the thick aluminium front panel and all-metal chassis, it tips the scales at a substantial 4.9kg. Heaviness doesn’t necessarily translate into top-notch performance but it’s always a reassuring sign, and rigid construction like this helps reduce vibrations that can have a negative impact on performance.

Thankfully Marantz has also made its chunky bodywork look delectable and distinctive. The front panel is curved and adorned with neat rows of buttons down either side of the centrally-placed disc tray, which doesn’t rattle forward like most budget decks but slides out with a beautifully smooth action. The silver embossed Blu-ray logo and disc tray detailing add an extra touch of glamour.

As you’d expect from a deck designed for demanding home cinema systems, there’s plenty of action on the back panel. There are Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio decoders on board and the 7.1-channel analogue outputs let you enjoy hi-res soundtracks even if your amp lacks HDMI sockets. A separate set of stereo audio connections, isolated from the multichannel sockets, is best used for straight-up CD playback, while the coaxial digital output passes the 5.1 audio stream to a receiver.

On the video side, the HDMI v1.3 port fires out 1080/24p pictures from Blu-ray discs, Dolby TrueHD/DTS HD Master Audio bitstreams and upscaled DVD video signals (at 720p, 1080i or 1080p). Component outputs deliver hi-def video up to 1080i and benefit from a 297MHz/12-bit video DAC (the BD5004 offers a 150MHz version).

The BD7004 is a Profile 2.0 player, hence the Ethernet connection on the back, but our experience with the Wi-Fi equipped LG BD390 makes this wired connection feel even more clunky than it did before. Sure it’s fast and stable, but nobody wants a LAN cable trailing across their house.

The lack of Wi-Fi is hardly surprising – there aren’t many companies that can keep up with the Koreans’ rate of innovation, let alone Blu-ray latecomers like Marantz – but at £700 you’d at least hope for some built-in memory for BD Live updates. Sadly that’s not included either, which means you have to load an SD card into the front-mounted slot to store downloaded content.

The upside to having this SD card slot on board is that it’ll play back MP3, WMA, JPEG and AVCHD files. It’s also pleasing to note that DivX HD is supported from BD-R/-RE, DVD-R/-RW and CD-R/-RW, which expands the range of playable hi-def content at your disposal.

After a lengthy boot-up time, we explored its menu system and were hit by a sudden sense of deja vu. Apart from the Marantz logo in the background, it’s identical to that of the Denon DVD-1800BD and DVD-3800BD, suggesting some inevitable technology sharing at D&M Holdings, the parent company that owns both brands. Quite how far the similarities extend into other areas of the deck’s design isn’t exactly clear, but Denon’s players also sport SD card slots on the front and the remotes look remarkably similar.

Still, in this case familiarity doesn’t breed contempt thanks to the practical and stylish menu layout, which is split into Quick (the essential settings), Custom (the full range of options) and Initialize (which lets you reset the deck’s settings and clear data from its memory).

The remote fares well, with the uncomplicated labelling and intuitive button placement making it feel very natural in your hand. You get some additional controls at the bottom that allow you to control volume and input selection on compatible Marantz receivers.

A range of picture adjustments is accessed by pressing the Mode button – you get five memory positions, each with its own adjustable levels of contrast, brightness, sharpness, gamma correction and colour. It’s a shame they’re hidden away, as these settings prove very useful. The Mode key also lets you access the virtual surround mode, and a range of other functions depending on the content you’re watching.

In stark contrast to decks from OPPO and LG, the BD7004 loads up Blu-ray discs with all the urgency of a sedated sloth. Both ”Spider-Man 3” and the newer ”Monsters Vs Aliens” discs took exactly a minute to start playing, and it also takes a painfully long time for the deck to spit out a disc.

There are no complaints when it comes to picture quality. The job of any Blu-ray player is to deliver the digital 1080p signal to the screen over HDMI without any glitches or interference and the BD7004 does it flawlessly.

”Monsters Vs Aliens” looks absolutely stunning – the deck wrings the last drop of detail from the pin-sharp CG graphics, and its grasp on colours is second to none. Bold hues are reproduced with breathtaking purity and the deck easily gets to grips with tonal nuances and subtle shadow work, resulting in some wonderfully solid and three-dimensional images. We also slipped ”Angels & Demons” into the tray (courtesy of and the BD7004 conveys live-action images with the same conviction, particularly when it comes to the movie’s frequent dark interior scenes, in which none of the ornate details gets lost in the shadows.

Noise is never an issue and motion is tracked with judder-free fluidity. With the Silicon Optix HQV Benchmark Blu-ray, it breezes through most of the tests but takes a while to detect the correct cadence on the Film Resolution test pattern, and even when it did there were some strange ‘blooming’ artefacts within the vertically striped boxes.

The player boasts Anchor Bay’s VRS processing for upscaling DVDs, and a superb job it does too. ”Kingdom of Heaven’s” epic visuals look crisp and untainted by noise. Subjective movie viewing doesn’t reveal any jagged edges, block noise or motion problems, and even when we switched to the HQV DVD the BD7004 didn’t put a foot wrong.

Marantz comes from a hi-fi background, so naturally music playback is of the highest order. After kicking back with a range of CDs, we had nothing but admiration for the full-bodied, sharp quality of its sound, due in no small part to the superb array of high-quality audio components Marantz has put to work inside the unit.

We can’t fault its HD audio decoding either. It really goes for the jugular during the Golden Gate bridge scene in ”Monsters Vs Aliens”, reproducing the chaos with smoothness, detail and precision.

Although it’s beautifully built and offers impressive performance, the BD7004 doesn’t inspire the same level of excitement as the LG BD390 – a player that costs around a third of the price but packs loads more features and, if we’re being honest, similar picture quality.

That said, the Marantz is much more sophisticated musically, so if audio and build quality are key buying factors and you don’t care about web downloads or PC streaming, then the Marantz BD7004 will be right up your alley, but otherwise save money and go for the LG.

DOD To Gitmo

Filed today under 'about damm time':
ABC News: President Bush to announce that detainees held at secret CIA prisons, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be transferred to the Department of Defense and granted protection under the Geneva Conventions.

Now let's look to our leaders to see if they will uphold the conventions or go toward the dark side in allowing new legislation to undermind the conventions and erode basic civil rights.

Civil-liberties advocates point out that Guantanamo's 460 inmates have few other means to make their voices heard, given that most have been detained for more than four years without even being charged with a crime. Indeed, though the U.S. has condemned the hunger strikers at Gitmo, just last year the White House haile a hunger-striking Iranian dissident for showing "that he is willing to die for his right to express his opinion."

At Gitmo, however, dead prisoners are something the U.S. military wishes devoutly to avoid. So force-feeding has been standard policy at the camp ever since hunger strikes began in early 2002. The facility's top physicians have also told TIME that prisoners who resist are subjected to especially harsh methods. In one case, according to medical records obtained by TIME, a 20-year old named Yusuf al-Shehri, jailed since he was 16, was regularly strapped into a specially designed feeding chair that immobilizes the body at the legs, arms, shoulders and head. Then a plastic tube that is 50% larger, and more painful to insert, than the commonly used variety was inserted up through his nose and down his throat, carrying a nutritional formula into his stomach

    Let me explain exactly what happened on this day in 1505 and how the couple ended up getting married four years later.

  • Who was Catherine Cromwell?

    Thank you to Lynne for asking about Catherine Cromwell. Lynne’s full question is “I was watching the actor Danny Dyer trace his family history on T.V. Apparently his family tree was traced to William the Conqueror and stopped at the Tudors which Catherine Cromwell was mentioned. She
    seemed a powerful woman but I’ve never really heard of her. So my long-winded question is who was this Lady and how powerful was she in the
    Tudor times?”

    Now, there are several Catherine (or Katherine) Cromwells, one being the sister of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex and Henry VIII’s right-hand man, who married Morgan Williams and who is an ancestor of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector, but the Catherine that was mentioned in the TV programme on Danny Dyer’s ancestry was actually the great-granddaughter of Thomas Cromwell. Let me show you how she is linked to the Thomas Cromwell we all know and love (or hate!).

Predicting the unpredictable

Are driverless cars ready for real-world complexity?

Predicting the unpredictable: Are driverless cars ready for real-world complexity?

"We have a long way to go to convince the public. However, the safety alliance of business, politics and third party testing has proved its worth where confidence in cars is concerned. TÜV SÜD will contribute the full scope of its expertise and play a proactive role."

Alexander Kraus
Senior Vice President Automotive, TÜV SÜD

Thursday, January 26, 2017

The race is on.

A race that looks set to radically transform our cities and lives as high-tech newcomers and established car manufacturers vie to spearhead the autonomous vehicle revolution. Soon we may live in cities where we work while commuting, instead of simply commuting to work. Cities in which driverless cars travel more closely together generating a host of time and energy efficiencies. Cities with open spaces instead of parking spaces. And perhaps most importantly of all, a world in which road accidents, often the result of human error, are reduced by as much as 90%1.

But are we really ready to hand over the wheel and put that much faith in our machines? As drivers know, traffic represents a highly complex system, capable of changing in an instant. How can drivers be assured that the autonomous vehicle is ready to venture out on its own?

This assurance won’t happen overnight, but will require a gradual process. The pace of this transition will rely on the development of technology, frameworks, and on the mindset of each individual driver. Accepting co-piloting features like automatic cruise-control, autonomous emergency braking and lane-keeping is one thing. Giving up full control of the car will prove to be a greater challenge. In a poll conducted by TÜV SÜD, 30% of the respondents said they consider autonomous driving to be “safe” or “very safe”, while almost 30% were undecided. The remaining respondents considered autonomous cars to be “somewhat unsafe” (18%) or even “unsafe” (24%).

As autonomous vehicles emerge from the test lab and on to our roads, their ability to capture public support will depend on the trust and confidence of the drivers themselves. Notably, legal liability along with the technological reality, will shift from drivers to developers and manufacturers.

With the number of real-life traffic scenarios in real-life traffic almost infinite, each autonomous vehicle faces a very complex reality. How can we validate their capability to manage on their own? Actively shaping the mobility of tomorrow, TÜV SÜD is developing an integral, scenario based assessment approach to achieve just that.

Setting out to test every conceivable situation as we move from A to B would be futile. A more realistic approach would be to identify and assess a set of test cases covering an essential range of scenarios.

For this purpose, TÜV SÜD experts are developing a methodology for the thorough analysis of scenarios, environments, system configurations and driver characteristics. Having determined a significant and sufficiently complete set of test cases, different test levels are utilised for assessment of these self-driving cars: virtual, proving ground and field tests.

Illustration on autonomous vehicles

This testing methodology is applicable for system development processes, legislative proposals as well as type approvals and confirmation of product safety.

TÜV SÜD participates in the German government’s PEGASUS project, a consortium of central automotive industry stakeholders that focuses on assessment and validation of highly automated driving systems on highways, thereby laying the right foundation for market release.

Just as important as the safety of self-driving vehicles on highways is their safe rollout within urban environments. Therefore, TÜV SÜD also participates in Singapore’s CETRAN project that will develop testing standards for urban use of automated vehicles.

As autonomous mobility advances, our cars will increasingly connect with each other and surrounding infrastructure. Connected smart mobility transportation systems will improve traffic flow and passenger safety, but will also introduce security-related vulnerabilities. For the automotive sector, IT-security presents a new threat landscape that requires a holistic approach.

As with any new technology, a preemptive assessment of risks is critical to ensure that the driverless car truly delivers on its phenomenal potential. With an expert Partner such as TÜV SÜD by your side at every turn, you can rest assured that the road ahead will be smarter, safer and more rewarding.

‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist’ Boss on That Zoey & Max Shocker and What Could Be Next

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Finale Max Zoey Heart Song
Spoiler Alert
Michael Courtney/NBC/Lionsgate

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 finale “Zoey’s Extraordinary Goodbye.”]

Just as Zoey (Jane Levy) makes a decision about her love life, she’s hit with a bombshell in the Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 finale — and it comes as we’re still awaiting word on the NBC musical dramedy’s future.

'Manifest,' 'Good Girls,' 'Zoey' & More NBC Shows Still Awaiting RenewalsSee Also

'Manifest,' 'Good Girls,' 'Zoey' & More NBC Shows Still Awaiting Renewals

Still alive for now, could these shows have another shot to impress viewers or is their time running out?

Zoey and Simon (John Clarence Stewart) — who now has a new job at SPRQ Point — have one of the most mature breakups on TV before she plans to stop Max (Skylar Astin) at the airport and keep him from heading to New York. After misunderstanding a heart song, she thinks she lost her chance … until he finds her and reveals he didn’t get on the plane and broke up with Rose (Katie Findlay). But just as Zoey’s telling Max she wants to be with him, surprise! He hears her sing a heart song, “I Melt With You,” granting him the insight into her mind that she’s had into his all this time.

“We’re putting a lot of trains in motion for Season 3,” executive producer Austin Winsberg tells TV Insider. “There’s a lot of opportunities for our characters to grow and go on new paths in Season 3. To me, there’s still a lot of the story left to tell.”

We tried to find out what could be next after that finale.

Why have “I Melt With You” be Zoey’s heart song?

Austin Winsberg: I just was trying to think of what she wanted to express, if she could, in song she was feeling in that moment. Obviously, there’s a lot of love songs out there. But for me, that was just one that felt fun, lyrically appropriate. I liked that the first song we ever did on the show when she is in the MRI machine is “It’s the End of the World As We Know It” and this was “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” I liked that it had “world” in both of them, and it just felt like the right kind of vibe.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Finale Max Zoey

Michael Courtney/NBC/Lionsgate

Max hearing a heart song leads to so many questions, but is it still Zoey’s power just projected onto him because she’s opening herself up to him?

We spent a lot of time over the last two seasons talking about the inequality of their relationship — and this has come up in many of these Max and Zoey fights — and about how it’s not fair that she gets a window into his brain into what he’s feeling, but he doesn’t get the same window into her. When she’s visited by her dad in the dream, and he talks about him being part of the universe now and maybe all these things that are happening, maybe he has some control over that. In that last scene right after she mentions the universe is when this power change or transition happens.

Going forward into Season 3, the idea would be that after all this time that she got a window into him, he now actually gets a window into her. And I feel like in order for relationships to work in general in life there needs to be some sort of balance or equality. Giving him the power now allows him to see what’s going on in her head, too, and to empathize with her and to understand. On top of that, for romantic comedy purposes, I just think it’s funny for two people to be in a relationship and know exactly what the other person is thinking and what kind of complications that might cause.

Can he only hear Zoey’s heart songs or will he be able to hear others’?

It’s a great question. That is something that has not fully been decided yet.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Finale Zoey Max

Michael Courtney/NBC/Lionsgate

Will Zoey find someone else who hears heart songs, not necessarily someone she already knows?

We have talked about this from really early on in Season 1. And certainly, when we talk about superheroes and superhero origin stories and all of that, there usually is a place in a superhero show where they discover somebody else with power. So it’s definitely been something we’ve been mindful of. We talked about Max getting the powers since really early on in Season 1, so that’s the relationship we’re most interested in exploring with that going forward for now.

They are definitely together, right? Because the shock of him hearing the heart song took over that moment.

They confess their love to each other at the end. The intention is for them to definitely try and make a go at it going forward.

How is the relationship going to be different this time, other than this new balance?

Zoey had a lot of fears and a lot of doubts about giving herself completely over to Max. Over Season 2 and certainly in the flashback episode and talking about it in therapy, we see she’s got a lot of fears about losing him and a lot of fears about what it means to give yourself to someone. She saw the precariousness of that when Mitch [Peter Gallagher] almost lost Maggie [Mary Steenburgen] and also all of Season 1, and Maggie losing the love of her life, Mitch. It made her guarded and fearful of a real relationship.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Finale Mitch Zoey

Justine Yeung/NBC/Lionsgate

When her father sings “I Lived” to her in the season finale, it’s a message to her that you need to stop choosing fear and embrace life. From that moment on, she decides to go to the airport to tell him she’s making the choice that she’s not going to be afraid anymore and that life and love is risk and pain and challenges, but that’s what it is and that’s what it means to live life. As a character who’s been closed off and sees the world in very black and white terms as a computer coder, for her to wholly open up like this is the evolution that we’ve been building towards over two seasons.

Now she’s going forward with Max without hesitation, without the baggage of having been in the throes of grief, like she was early on in the season, and she’s going to want to make it work. New challenges are going to arise from the fact that now they have this complication that they can both hear each other’s songs.

Because of the connection that Zoey had with Simon, it was important for her to play out that connection and to see what it really was. I felt like she wouldn’t be ready to totally commit to Max until she had played out that dynamic with Simon.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Finale Simon Zoey

Michael Courtney/NBC/Lionsgate

I like how mature Simon and Zoey were about their breakup. I’m looking forward to them being friends because it feels like they can be.

I hope so. I don’t like villainizing any of our characters and I really feel like everyone’s human and maybe there’ll be a bit of an uncomfortable or bumpy road back to friendship, but I certainly feel like they bring a lot to each other. Skylar and John and Jane challenged me to not make it that Zoey was a prize and to not make it that they were competing over her. I just thought that that was kind of a more evolved and mature way to approach everything. I like the Max and Simon friendship, so I would like the ability for them to all be able to coexist and get along.

Simon has a new job and it feels like this is where his entire arc this season was leading. Is he perhaps the happiest and most hopeful we’ve seen him?

Yeah, it was important to me, especially with Simon and Zoey breaking up in the finale, that we weren’t bringing Simon back to a depressed place. A lot of Season 1, he was dealing with the grief of his father’s suicide and the guilt and the anger and the shame and all of the feelings associated with that. I wanted to see him come out more positive on the other side, so by him singing “I’m Still Standing” at the end and by getting this new job where he’s doing this incubator, which is very important for him, I think he is landing in a good place at the end of the season and also paving the road for us to tell us more inclusive stories in Season 3 and bringing new, smaller businesses and more diversity into SPRQ Point.

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 Mo Perry

Sergei Bachlakov/NBC

Mo [Alex Newell] and Perry [David St. Louis] are in a good place at the end of the season after some hiccups. How did you want to use those bumps and eventual reconciliation to evolve both characters, especially Mo?

Alex Newell is so great at challenging me to be authentic and challenging me to delve into the harder conversations or the things that might be more uncomfortable. He’s been a great ally and also creative partner in talking about that stuff, so it was important when talking about the relationship with Perry that we really talked about what some of those real issues could and would be. Now that they have come to a better place, I’m also excited to see what it’s like for Mo, who was kind of this carefree, independent person, suddenly in Season 3, having to be in a relationship with an older man, who’s got two kids and an ex. I am excited about the idea of scenes with Mo and children and really exploring what it means for Mo to venture into a more domestic situation and the comedy and the challenges that can go along with it. As long as we stay true to who Alex is and be authentic with it, there’s a lot of opportunities for stories there.

Helpful Advice For Treating And Coping With Your Diabetes

If your parent has been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, it is important that you help them in changing their diet and exercise rituals. Support them by bringing them healthy treats, like fruit salad, instead of cakes or cookies. When you visit their house, why not go for a long walk with them?

When a child has Diabetes, you need to ensure that everyone in their life is aware of the consequences of not adhering strictly to their new eating rules. If they go to their Grandparents' house, ensure they know how important it is for the child to only receive healthy snacks.

If you have diabetes, talk to your insurance provider and healthcare provider to see if an insulin pump might be a helpful and affordable thing for you. While expensive and more difficult to maintain, it can provide your body with a more stable insulin level, which may be helpful for some patients.

If you have Diabetes then alcohol is not your friend. Alcoholic drinks are full of sugar and that will not help your blood sugar levels. A glass of wine has more sugar than hard liquor and beer will has less sugar than wine but more than liquor.

In an emergency, seconds count.

Federal regulators estimate about 10,000 lives could be saved every year if first responders could get to a 911 caller just one minute faster.

We want you to have the tools to get help quickly if you’re facing an emergency situation. That is why we added an emergency button to the Uber app.

               Rider View

While all drivers and riders have the emergency button in their app, in some cities we have invested in new technology that makes certain trip details available to 911 dispatchers electronically.

When a rider or driver uses the in-app emergency button to call 911, the car’s make and model, license plate, and GPS location are made available to 911 dispatchers.

We first launched this feature in Denver and a few other cities.  Working with 911 centers and our partner, RapidSOS, we have introduced this feature to some of the largest cities in the country, including Los Angeles, Seattle, San Diego, Phoenix, and Washington, DC.

Today, it is available in more than 60 cities and counties in the US, and we recently began testing the feature in Mexico. We look forward to bringing this feature to additional cities.

             Driver View

How it works

Riders and drivers can access the safety toolkit by tapping the shield icon on their app’s map screen. After tapping the 911 Assistance feature, you will see your GPS location, car make and model, and license plate.

If you tap the “Call 911” button and connect to an emergency dispatcher, those trip details become available to them digitally and can be used to respond to an emergency. Uber’s customer support team will follow up with a check-in

This feature is available in more than 250 cities and counties in the United States.  If users are in a participating area, the app will indicate that trip information is automatically shared with 911. Riders and drivers can choose not to share their trip information with 911 dispatchers by changing the privacy settings in their app.

Last Friday afternoon I was pootling around the Capitoline Museums, which is the kind of thing guides do on a free off-season afternoon (in case you wondered), when I stumbled upon a piece I’d entirely forgotten was there. A section of a dismantled pulpit from the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli (just across the square), it was the work of man called Lorenzo di Tebaldo and his son Jacopo and employs an inlay/recycling technique known as “Cosmati work” of which I have long been very fond.

Lorenzo di Tebaldo and Jacopo di Lorenzo, panel from pulpit of Santa Maria in Aracoeli c.1300. Made from rim of 4th basin showing scenes from the life of Achilles, reused porphyry and serpentine, and glass paste. Capitoline Museums.

The name Cosmati does not refer to a specific family (although Jacopo’s grandson was called Cosmas and the generic name may refer to him), but became synonymous with several families of Roman marmorari, or stonemasons, of the late 12th and 13th centuries and the work which they carried out. Regardless of the specific genealogical connections, the common thread in all Cosmati work is the reuse of the grandest materials of the Imperial city.

Columns of purple porphyry from the Eastern deserts of Egypt, green serpentine from the Peloponnese of mainland Greece, and Numidian yellow from the border of modern Tunisia and Algeria were sliced like salami into discs around which triangular chips were arranged in elaborate geometric and serpentine forms inlaid to create pavements and altars, pulpits and bishops’ thrones. To this geological map of the long lost Empire were added coloured glass and gilded tiles. Both the materials and the technique, which merges mosaic and opus sectile, are fundamentally Roman. Indeed Cosmati work was indicative of a sort of mini-Renaissance; a profound “rebirth” inspired by the study of the antique, as well as the art of Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire through which that most Roman of arts, mosaic, continued to thrive. Ultimately this spirit of rebirth was to prove a “false dawn”, thwarted by the shift of the seat of the papacy to Avignon just after 1300 which saw Rome’s fragile equilibrium once again spiral into economic and political entropy.

However, before the papacy would abandon Rome to the iniquities of the 14th century, Cosmati work became ever more celebrated. Indeed, such was the fame of the Roman stonemasons that a certain Odericus was called to London by King Henry III to create the floor in front of the high altar at Westminster Abbey which is signed, and dated 1268.

The Cosmati pavement of Westminster Abbey, 1268.

The masons adapted their designs to incorporate cheaper local materials, choosing Purbeck limestone over white marble, but they also brought prized materials from Rome. Tiles of the venerated Imperial purple once started life as columns of porphyry. Quarried in Egypt, they travelled up the Nile to Alexandria, across the Mediterranean to Ostia, and up the Tiber to Rome where they saw the rapid rise and the slow fall of Empire, and the long centuries of struggle and violence which followed. Later butchered, they made their way north of the Alps where they have borne silent witness to the coronation of every monarch since Edward I. Cosmati work is a splendid reminder that as one wanders through the ruins of ancient Rome the missing bits aren’t just missing, they’re simply somewhere else. Nothing has evaporated, and Rome is nothing if not a spectacular exercise in the law of the conservation of matter.

Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework

Delivering more comprehensive and predictable responses for refugees

A vision of shared responsibility

As mass displacement across the world continues to grow, it is usually low- and middle-income countries that shoulder much of the responsibility for refugees. Meanwhile, the world’s response to large-scale movements remains inadequate and underfunded leaving refugees with an uncertain future. The New York Declaration lays out a vision for a more predictable and more comprehensive response to these crises, known as the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework, or CRRF. It calls for greater support to refugees and the countries that host them.

Throughout 2017 and 2018, the CRRF was rolled out in diverse refugee situations across more than a dozen countries. Lessons drawn from the application of the CRRF helped to inform the Global Refugee Compact, which was affirmed by all UN Member States in December 2018.

More information on the Global Compact on Refugees

Why inclusion is key

At the heart of the CRRF and the GCR is the idea that refugees should be included in the communities from the very beginning. When refugees gain access to education and labour markets, they can build their skills and become self-reliant, contributing to local economies and fuelling the development of the communities hosting them. Allowing refugees to benefit from national services and integrating them into national development plans is essential for both refugees and the communities hosting them, and is consistent with the pledge to “leave no one behind” in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In the New York Declaration, Member States recognize that refugee camps “should be the exception,” and a temporary measure in cases of emergency. Instead, refugees should be allowed to live among host communities. By helping refugees thrive, not just survive, we can reduce the risk of protracted stays and lessen refugees’ dependence on humanitarian aid.

How to deliver this vision

To better support refugees and the communities hosting them the New York Declaration calls on UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to work with a wide range of partners. These include not just governments, NGOs, refugees and other UN agencies, but also the private sector, international financial institutions and civil society, including think tanks, academia and faith leaders. Together, we aim to:

  1. Ease pressure on countries that welcome and host refugees
  2. Build self-reliance of refugees
  3. Expand access to resettlement in third countries and other complementary pathways
  4. Foster conditions that enable refugees voluntarily to return to their home countries.

The GCR envisions a world where refugees have access to countries where they are safe, where they are better included, where they are no longer living in camps, and are not dependent on humanitarian assistance only. Based on the New York Declaration, the Global compact on refugees recognizes that when refugees are given the chance, they can support themselves and their families, and make positive contributions to the communities hosting them. In this virtuous cycle, refugees and host communities mutually empower each other, socially and economically.

Looking ahead

For more information on arrangements for follow-up and review of the Global compact, including on the Global Refugee Forum, please visit the Global Refugee Forum page.

This study is on utilizing the school farm for effective teaching of agricultural science in secondary schools in Ijero and Ekiti west local government area of Ekiti State.
          Specifically, the study sought to find out sources of fund for establishing school farm the facilities needed for equipping the farm among others. Random sampling techniques was used to select 22 schools from which 5 teachers were selected giving a sample size of 110 teachers.
          The study showed that most teachers agreed that sources of fund were schools government and parents. It also found that facilities such as tractor and its implements, storage facilities poultry houses e.t.c were necessary for effective teaching agricultural science in schools.
          It was recommended that the government, schools, parents and all stakeholders should play their roles to be able to use the farm for effective teaching of agricultural science.

Background of the Study
In Nigerian secondary schools, agriculture has been recognize as a core curriculum subject. In view of this, Olaitan (2010) outlined certain philosophy regarding agriculture in schools include:
(a)  Honest labour, for example planting seeds and rearing livestock is a worthy activity.
(b) The whole some food produced by agriculture is essential for good health
(c)  All available land would be utilized
(d) Standard of living can be raised by improving agriculture inputs .
(e)  The rural environment will be improved by raising the standard of living of the community.
The above philosophy of agriculture finds expression in the general and specific objectives of secondary schools agriculture curriculum. In junior secondary schools (JSS), the main objectives is to equip students with introductory vocational skills in agriculture. While at the senior secondary school (SSS) level, the objectives includes to:
(a)  Stimulate and sustain students interest in agriculture
(b) Enable students to acquire basic knowledge and skills in agriculture
(c)  Prepare students for further studies in agriculture
(d) Prepare students for occupation in agriculture (West African Examination Councils 2006)
The above objectives are achieved able within the provision of stipulated Agriculture science curriculum currently being implemented in secondary schools nationwide. A holistic implementation of agriculture curriculum in secondary school is expected to embrace classroom instruction and practical experience which the student in agriculture are exposed to (Adegeye and Dittoh, 2008).
Besides adequate and qualified agriculture science teacher, adequate classroom, agricultural science laboratory and school farms are prerequisites to teaching and learning of agriculture in secondary schools.
Though the above requirement are complementary, schools farm draw more attention in view of the facts that west attention in view of the fact that west African examination councils (2006) recommended that schools must keep with at least one species of livestock from each of the following two group pigs, rabbit and poultry goat sheep and cattle and where feasible fish pond.
School farms are expected to have adequate equipment, farm implements tools farm structure and regular supply of inputs in addition to farm space to accommodate crops and livestock managed by student under the supervision of their teachers (Ani, 1997). These are the fundamental of an operational school farm on which students could transfer classroom instruction to practical experience in the fields.
In line with this the school farm offers students the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills and competencies and demonstrate farm principle and practices carryout field experiment which cannot be accommodate in the laboratory (Ani, 1997). In the overall, it caters for the interest of the rural dwellers whose major occupation is agriculture. They aim at giving s utilitarian and comprehensive education to the youths, farm families and other who might be interested in agriculture as a vocation (Adesina, 2008,) (Grubb and Lazerson, 2005). In other to established a well equipped school farm that effectively fit into the above roles place significant demand on the student, teacher, school management parent and the immediate community in terms of resources (Pimpa and Suwannapiron, 2008). In response to its increasing stakeholders, school farm in various secondary schools in Nigeria, particularly in Ekiti State, are expanding their activities roles and proceeds to reach its vested interest.
          Consequently, schools farms are not just for practical experience but embracing several other benefits. In view of this background, the study is aimed at determining the social benefits of school farm in secondary schools in Ekiti State
Statement Of The Problem
School farm is one of the prerequisites for effective implementation of agriculture science curriculum in secondary schools. But despite the fact  that many secondary school in Nigeria have been benefit of being sited on government or community land with relatively goods space to accommodate a teaching farm, there appears to be a paucity of well equipped school farms for effective teaching and learning in secondary school in (Ladele 2000). In Ekiti state secondary schools it has been observed that many of the existing schools farms lacked requisites structures implements and other farm facilities, while in other these facilities, while in other these facilities are in state of complete dilapidation consequently to total neglect of practical lesson in the school farms (Ladele 2009). In some schools most of the pupils come from rural farm families with a detailed knowledge of traditional agriculture gained from their parents.
In some cases, these pupils expectation from their learning experience in school agriculture are high. But unfortunately practical experience appears elusive to them due to lack of school farms (Ladele, 2012). In some schools especially in urban areas, pupils have no knowledge of agriculture and so their involvement in practical experience in the school farm is perceived as a drudge and untidy business. In order to reconcile these extreme of negative attitude there in the need for a study to determine the social benefit of school farms in secondary school in ijero and Ekiti west local government.
Purpose Of The Study
The purpose of this study is to find out how the school farm can be utilized for effective teaching of agricultural science in secondary schools in Ijero and Ekiti west local government areas of Ekiti State
1. Specifically the study seeks to determine the financial implication of utilization of the school farm.
2. The suitable distance site for a school farm.
3. Facilities essential for a school farm.
4. Farming activities needed in the school farm.
5. Personnel needed to manage the school farm.
Significance Of The Study
Since the achievement of the occupational orientation of students in agriculture in secondary schools could be developed and sustained through their exposure to practical experience on school farms, this study will revealed the present state of school farm, vis-à-vis the expected facilities needed for effective practical lessons. This will help the school management agriculture science teachers, student parent and other concerned to work together towards giving the school farms a face lift to sustain effective curriculum implementation in agriculture.
Moreover the study would identify the social benefit accusable from well established school farms. This will help to raise the interest and proper orientation of the student in the study of agriculture not just as a school subject but as a prospective field of human endeavour for sustainable employment (Alhaji 2008). With respect to teachers of agriculture science and school management the study could raise their awareness to invest resources in the school farm as an asset for agriculture curriculum implementation as well as a veritable alternative source of income and image maker for the school.
The finding of the study would provide an orientation for secondary school to improve on their agriculture science programme in order to enhance the vocational competence of the students. This would sustain the student interest and environmental habits for a successful transition to the world of works.
Scope Of The Study
The research shall focus the study on utilizing the school fsrm for the effective teaching of agriculture science in secondary schools in Ijero and Ekiti west local government area of Ekiti state
Research Questions
1. What are the possible ways of financing a school farm?
2.Which site is suitable for utilizing the school farm?
3.What facilities are needed to equip a school farm?
4. What are farming activities needed in utilizing the school farm
