The splendor falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. —from The Splendor Falls by Alfred, Lord Tennyson This is the story of the closure of a hospital and with it a part of American pediatric history. Children's Seashore House of Atlantic City is the nation's fourth oldest pediatric hospital. After 118 years, it will close in the summer of 1990 and move to a new facility in Philadelphia. The simple brick, layer-cake structure looks very tired now, its iconic soul having been steadily removed for incorporation into the new hospital. The cornerstone animals, lions and bighorn, have been chiseled free and now guard a new outpost. So too have the plaques from the turn of the century, optimistically commemorating the establishment of endowed beds, wards, and cottages "for perpetual use" with their benefactors of simplicity and gentleness by name, such as the "Endowed Bed of St James Sunday School, 1889" and "Endowed by the Everyday Kindness Society, 1912." On this day, the workers hammer to remove the final link—an enormous marble tablet from 1919 eulogizing Dr William Bennett, the principal driving force of Children's Seashore House and also the founder of St Christopher's Hospital in Philadelphia. A mere 50 yards away, the Atlantic Ocean beats inexorably as it did at the founding in 1872, 2 years after the first planks were laid for the famous boardwalk.

Waste the board is the fundamental problem that the world deals self reliant in case of creating country. The troubles within the waste corporation are that the waste holder at open spots advances beyond time before the begin of the partner cleaning process. It consequently precise numerous dangers, as an instance, lousy aroma and repulsiveness to that spot which can be the basic driving force for unfold of numerous illnesses. To avoid all such unsafe circumstance and maintain up open neatness and prosperity this work is mounted on an astute refuse device. The popular problem of the work is to expand a sagacious shrewd rubbish prepared gadget for a proper refuse the board .This paper introduces a pointy prepared shape for junk opportunity by using offering a caution hint to the huge town server for minute cleaning of waste with valid check reliant on level of waste filling. This technique is helped via the ultrasonic sensor that's interfaced with Arduino UNO to test the diploma of refuse crammed inside the dustbin and sends the caution to the everyday net server once if trash is crammed . The fuel sensor and the fire sensor are applied to take a look at the spoil of fire and it take a gander at the closeness of any risky fuel over the development holder. The fuel sensor and the fire sensor are used to take a gander at the wreck of fireplace and it look at the closeness of any risky fuel over the accumulation holder. The complete gadget is stored up by way of an embedded module combined with IOT Assistance and sensor. The non-stop status of ways waste is accumulated that might be watched and stuck up by means of the location authority with the guide. Despite this the crucial change measures will be balanced.

The authors suspect that the young perspective has been left out when online risk and safety are discussed in contemporary research. The aim of this chapter is to give a critical approach to this matter and question fear as a driving force for protecting young people online. Interviews with children about their views of internet use (Dunkels, 2007) and a study of safe use guides from European countries conducted in 2008 (Lüders et al, 2009) form the empirical base. The discussion in the chapter is underpinned by ideas of childhood as a social construction, emerging ideas of power relations pertaining to age and theories of technology reception. The authors also introduce a metaphor, the layer cake, to better understand how the same action can be viewed from different vantage points.

In May 1909, Ferdinand Krackowizer (1844–1933), an archival councillor from Linz, took a trip to the spa in Karlovy Vary. He kept a travel diary as well as a memory album where he stored all sorts of documents: postcards, concert programmes, tickets, menus, a report from his attending physician, etc. By analysing these documents we are able to reconstruct in detail Krackowizer’s stay at the spa and gain deeper knowledge of the everyday spa culture in Karlovy Vary at the turn of the century. In addition, the analysis takes into account the opinions and assessments provided by the traveller himself in his travel diary. The diary further facilitates reconstructing Krackowizer’s networks and understanding different aspects of cultural practices connected to spa travel. Finally, these primary sources show the importance which Krackowizer attributed to his spa trip as a form of external representation.

Conflict as a clash of opposing interests, opinions, attitudes, goals, and positions is one of the everyday phenomena inherent in human society. It may be different depending on its scale and vary in the range from domestic quarrel to geopolitical confrontation between nuclear powers. In this case, the conflict itself, in spite of the negative attitude of narrow-minded to it, is a rather neutral phenomenon, its positive and negative effects are associated not only with the conflict itself, as to the method of its settlement. At the same time, the rational settlement of the conflict, such as through a constructive dialogue, it becomes the driving force of human progress, it helps to get the relationship on a completely different level.

Many of the defining characteristics of the urban are shifting to virtual platforms. This process imbues all dimensions of urban life, from governance to politics and participation. During the global pandemic and the lockdown in many countries, this shift has gathered speed and is changing the way we communicate and work, challenging the everyday life of our cities. As a result, we are confronted with a new topology of negotiation, participation, governance, and control in a virtual realm. With that, rights and duties of citizens are also being transformed, which creates a new dynamic that needs to be captured to ensure an alternative way to perform and enable citizenship. What we refer to as “platform urbanization” is a planetary phenomenon that needs to be investigated as a new driving force in the transformation of the urban condition and in terms of the impact it has on citizenship and the way cities are produced.

What is entrepreneurship? Since the turn of the century, there has been increased global interest in entrepreneurship both by individual theorists and by institutions. This is significant because over the last quarter of a century there has been a remarkable renaissance in terms of the recognition of small firms’ “centrality as a necessary competitive instrument in the development of a modern, vibrant and progressive economy” (Beaver and Prince, 2004, p. 34). The economics literature acknowledges the central role of entrepreneurs in economic development, the creation of wealth and evolutionary change. In the United Kingdom alone, over 5.2 million businesses are operating as of 2015; of those, 99% are SMEs, accounting for 14.5 million people in employed positions (Federation of Small Business, 2015). The literature suggests that it is entrepreneurs who are the driving force of such a revolution, in the form of an economic trend that is transforming and in some cases renewing economies worldwide, contributing not only to employment but also to economic, social and political stability. Therefore, it is vital to develop an understanding of the complex field of entrepreneurship by drawing on the early entrepreneurship literature, and by evaluating and understanding the wider contributions to the now-established distinctive economic theories of the entrepreneur.

Process Of Urbanization

China’s dramatic process of urbanization has profound influence on the country’s religious communities, practices and psyche. This article focuses on a village of North Shanghai that has been integrated into urban life through demolition and relocation at the turn of the century. It follows the evolution of the ritual practices of its former inhabitants until present day. It underlines the fracture that has occurred in the way jia (home/family) was recognized and lived as a focus of ritual activities, and it documents the subsequent enlargement of the ritual sphere that is taking place. The choice of specific temples as privileged places of pilgrimage and ancestral worship is shown to be the result of a combination of factors, relational, geographical, and financial. The study also highlights the fact that the plasticity and inventiveness of the practices observed still testify to the resilience of the “home” concept, whatever the transformation it undergoes, and it links such resilience to the agency of women. By closely following the dynamic of ritual activities in the everyday life of the community under study, the article aims at providing a pragmatic and evolving approach to what “Chinese religion” is becoming in an urban context.

The Engineering Pathway (EP) digital library (www.engineeringpathway.com) strives to provide quality educational resources for learners of all age levels. ABET Engineering Criteria has been the driving force behind modern engineering education reform since its introduction at the turn of the century. In order to help engineering educators and administrators meet the challenges of developing and teaching a learning outcomes-focused curriculum, EP is linking existing resources to appropriate ABET criteria. This paper summarizes the research behind using our ABET alignment process where computational linguistics and information retrieval tools are used to augment the ABET alignment process. Experts then review these recommendations and make corrections where needed. By taking this approach, we not only shorten the time to align existing learning resources; but also improve the scalability by aligning new resources as they are being submitted. The technologies can also be applied to the development of thesauri and recommender systems that can be tailored to individual faculty needs.

Main Material

The main trends in the development of the English-language poetry of Kenya at the turn of the XX—XXI centuries are considered. The main material is a collection of poems by Kenyan poets, first published in the early 2000s. Particular attention is paid to the ideological and artistic transformation in the work of the young generation of Kenyan poets of the key directions in the development of Kenyan English-language poetry, which developed in the first half of the XX century. The novelty of the research lies in the conclusion about the continuity of the experience of the older generation poets by the English-speaking Kenyan poets, which is expressed in the development of two key directions of the development of Kenyan English-language poetry: socio-political and philosophical-lyric. At the same time, a fundamental change in the artistic method and style transformation is noted in the work of the new generation of Kenyan authors: unlike their predecessors, young Kenyan poets are increasingly gravitating towards the use of rhyme, expressed allegory and imagery, and also adopting previously untested techniques, for example, the use of elements of youth subculture. New material has been brought in, many names are first introduced into the everyday life of domestic and world African studies.
