Triggerdaclub:Nursing is a good way to get your PR fast. Make sure you do your nursing programme in a regional areas, and you can ask for credits , recognition of previous studies. That may shortened the time. Also if you have enough funds you can do accelerated nursing degree in Tasmania ,2 years , and with waivers on previous studies the duration may even be reduced . Check up anyway. |
kcaristotle:Getting rental may be tough now especially with less activity in building sector due to pandemic. I will advise you check online and look for contacts of indigenous Nigerian churches i.e websites in Brisbane. Contact them and they can help removing a bit stress out of your way. |
In my curiosity on what might led to Russia invasion of Ukraine, I came across this write up. The current United States-Russia crisis has its roots in Washington’s betrayal of its well-documented promise to Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev in the early 1990s to not move the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) eastward. Made during the breakup of the Soviet Union, then-US Secretary of State James Baker said NATO would not move “one inch” east. NATO’s existence as an anti-USSR military alliance organised and controlled by the US dates back to the beginning of the Cold War. It has continued since with the expressed purpose to militarily confront Russia. The US has more than 70,000 troops permanently stationed in European countries. It is planning to use the present crisis to send thousands more, including into former Eastern European countries, along with additional offensive weapons (called “defensive” by Washington) and other military hardware. See also The US role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict Great power rivalry and capitalist crisis NATO now butts up against Russia and Belarus at the border with Poland and the Baltic countries. The US claims its “right” to also include Ukraine — which has the longest border with Russia — in its military alliance. This would mean the US-controlled anti-Russian military alliance, including its military hardware and troops, would be up against the whole Western border of Russia, something Russia regards as an existential threat. Origins of conflict When Ukraine became independent due to the breakup of the Soviet Union — and the Soviet republics became capitalist due to a social counter-revolution that dismantled the nationalised planned economy — there was no enmity between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine agreed that the big former Soviet naval base on the Black Sea in Sevastopol, Crimea, would be leased to Russia. There is a connection from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean through the Bosporus Strait. Crimea became part of Russia when it was conquered under Tsarina Catherine the Great in late 1700s from the Ottoman Empire. After the creation of the USSR in 1922, it became part of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic (SSR), as it was populated mostly by Russians, while Ukraine became its own SSR. Crimea was transferred from the Russian SSR to the Ukrainian SSR in the mid-1950s by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev (himself Ukrainian) for technical and logistic reasons. The move was largely unnoticed by the world since Crimea was still part of the USSR. No one claimed that Ukraine had “stolen” Crimea from Russia. By the breakup of the USSR, Ukraine had become a country with roughly 50-50 ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. Both languages were official state languages. Ethnic Ukrainians dominated the western part of Ukraine, and ethnic Russians the eastern and southeastern part. Oligarchs Due to the workings of capitalism, the economies and politics of Russia and Ukraine became dominated over time by very rich capitalists (known in the West as “oligarchs”). Ukrainian politics became chaotic, with charges and counter-charges of fraud in elections to choose which “oligarch” would be president and premier. In 2010 Viktor Yanukovych, a Russian speaker from the east, was declared president in a disputed election. He agreed to extend Russia’s lease on its Black Sea naval base, which was up for renegotiation. This greatly angered Ukrainian nationalists. In April 2013, Yanukovych sought to sign a treaty of association with the European Union (EU) in search of financial aid. But in November, just as the treaty was about to be signed, Russia offered a better deal on aid and a reduced price on natural gas into Ukraine. The treaty with the EU was scrapped. Pro-West Ukrainian nationalists revolted and organised protests in Maidan Square in front of city hall in the capital, Kyiv (Kiev), calling for Yanukovych’s ouster. Undoubtedly there were at first many demonstrators who wanted the ouster of all “oligarchs”, not just “oligarch” Yanukovych. But it was the nationalists who dominated. Included in the demonstrations were fascist nationalists, who looked to the Ukrainian collaborators with the Nazis in World War II for inspiration. At one point they took over city hall and from its balcony overlooking the demonstrators in Maidan Square, displayed the collaborator’s flag patterned after the swastika. as well as the Confederate flag from the US. This was briefly on television in the US, but thereafter never referred to. It was clear that the demonstrators saw the fascists as part of their movement. As a result of the protests, Yanukovych was ousted with support from the military, and fled to Russia in early 2014. The new Ukrainian nationalist government announced its intention to join NATO, which Russia correctly concluded would mean a NATO takeover of its Black Sea naval base. This caused it to retake Crimea and reject Ukraine joining NATO. New regime targets ethnic Russians The Ukrainian government demoted Russian as an official language and restricted ethnic Russians’ rights. There was a rebellion in the east against the new government that launched a bloody war in the region, causing 13,000 deaths and led 400,000 refugees to flee into Russia. Far-right armed groups were the spearhead of the Ukrainian forces in this war. The US and the West supported the Ukrainian side, while Russia backed the ethnic Russians’ side. Eventually a stalemate was reached, with two states founded in the Donbas region that were in the hands of ethnic Russians: the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Some skirmishes occurred on the border of Donbas, but there was no overt war. Both Ukrainian and Russian remain official government languages in the Donbas. Volodymyr Zelensky, who was not an “oligarch”, was elected president of Ukraine in 2019. While maintaining the position of eventually joining NATO, he has sought to keep the peace. The fascist groups have not had much electoral support since 2014, but independent analysts say they have maintained support for their domestic policies through street actions. While Zelensky still supports eventually joining NATO, there is no such move on the horizon. New situation under Biden Until US President Joe Biden took office and stepped up the militaristic campaign against Russia in 2021, the Russian government under President Vladimir Putin’s increasing autocratic rule had not been alarmed. Putin has proposed a federal structure for Ukraine along the lines of the original Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015. This has been rejected by Ukrainian nationalists and the US because they want the Donbas crushed. That proposal, if implemented, would mean the two People's Republics in the Donbas would have their own elected governments within a united Ukraine. The US and NATO’s proposed diplomatic solution is for Russia to capitulate. The Biden administration and US military establishment have declared Russia, along with China, as the US’s main enemies. While the US continues its aggressive stance against China, it is concentrating on Russia today. The US has renewed the threat of Ukraine joining NATO and become more belligerent. Putin responded this year by mobilising troops inside Russia along Ukraine’s border and renewing its stance against the threat of NATO’s extension to this border. However, Zelensky has not threatened to join NATO or to attack the Donbas, and Putin has shown no signs of invading Ukraine, despite the Biden administration’s claims. There is no media campaign inside Russia — and the media in Russia is tightly controlled by Putin — whipping up the Russian people to prepare for war. Zelensky has now openly broken with the US, telling it to stop the warmongering. He has also reassured the Ukrainian public there is no threat of war, something all Ukrainian people, both ethnic Russians and ethnic Ukrainians, very much do not want. At the same time, his government has accepted military hardware from the US and NATO countries. The Ukrainian people want to keep the peace they have established. The Biden administration has ignored the Ukrainian government’s wishes and, along with the pro-Democratic Party media, is pressing ahead with its warmongering. Europe The NATO countries are not all behind Washington. Germany, in particular, has not joined Biden in stepping up armaments and forces to Eastern European countries on Russia’s borders. France is playing both sides while calling for a more independent Europe. Germany and France have signed trade agreements with China, against Washington’s wishes. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Putin issued a joint statement on February 1 declaring the crisis must be defused. Hungary is a member of NATO. After a five-hour meeting with Putin on February 2, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban said proposed sanctions against Russia would be “doomed to failure". “The [Russian] president was very calm and said that Russia’s demands for security guarantees are normal and should be the basis for negotiations. And I agree with that. We must negotiate,” Orban said. At the end of January, a conference in Madrid of far-right leaders in Europe, including Orban and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, issued a statement ignoring the crisis except for one sentence. The statement concentrated on affirming “family values,” keeping Europe’s countries Christian, keeping out immigrants, and denouncing EU “interference.” Morawiecki has denounced Russia but is also under domestic pressure to take a stand against Ukraine for historical reasons. Due to the conflict among NATO countries, the US military moves into Eastern Europe are being done unilaterally by the US and not in NATO’s name, although Britain and the Baltic countries are going along. Rift in public opinion A significant rift has developed within the US, reflecting its deep divisions. Tucker Carlson, the most important commentator on the pro-Donald Trump Fox News outlet, has attacked Biden’s warmongering. Other pro-Trump news outlets have joined in. Trump himself has said publicly that it is “crazy” to be attacking Russia over Ukraine. Trump’s fifty million hard followers get their opinions from Fox News, as does Trump. This bleeds over into his softer followers. Some Republican politicians may want to join the warmongering but almost none will openly oppose Trump. Carlson, who has Trump’s ear, likely believes his stance faces little opposition among the public. There are no mass actions endorsing Biden’s warmongering, as most people are not very interested in Ukraine or NATO and are mainly worried instead about the economy and the COVID-19 pandemic. Most people in the world have heard about Russia’s opposition to Ukraine joining NATO, and more Americans are becoming aware of it, after the sharp polemic between the US and Russia at the United Nations Security Council. A commentator on CNN — which has been at the forefront of the media warmongering — made the absurd assertion after the Security Council meeting that the US was opposed to the eastward expansion of NATO but got dragged into it by former Eastern Europe countries.

There is massive increase in hospitalizations in America as Omicron surges. It was initial stated that Omicron strain is mild and "welcome" but as it is now its handshake has gone beyond the elbow. The number of Americans hospitalized with Covid-19 has surpassed last winter’s peak, underscoring the severity of the threat the virus continues to pose as the extremely contagious Omicron variant tears through the United States. As of Sunday, 142,388 people with the virus were hospitalized nationwide, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, surpassing the single-day peak of 142,315 reported on Jan. 14 of last year. The seven-day average of daily hospitalizations was 132,086, an increase of 83 percent from two weeks ago. The Omicron wave has overwhelmed hospitals and depleted staffs that were already worn out by the Delta variant. It has been driven in large part by people younger than 60. Among people older than 60, daily admissions are still lower than last winter. The hospitalization totals also include people who test positive for the virus incidentally after being admitted for conditions unrelated to Covid-19; there is no national data showing how many people are in that category. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/01/10/world/omicron-covid-testing-vaccines |
aussievision:Gympie is a good place but about 2 hours away from CBD, house prices affordable too. Just keep searching. Everyday, the prices are climbing higher and higher. Maybe if the covid fade away things will change. Most people are not building due to the reasons i said previously so there is a high demand for established houses in the market. https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-house-between-0-650000/list-1?activeSort=list-date&source=refinement Even in Hervey Bay, naija are many here and well respected, houses prices are high. It is like 3.5 hr away from Brisbane o. Sunshine Coast a lovely places. But you can still manage to find house of your budget provided you dont mind old house like 15-20 yo old buildings. Just keep checking real estate website daily. |
aussievision:You might as well give Queensland a try. Check this website realestate.com.au. House price is going gaga in Australia. The thing is , building a new house is taking a long time, the reason is due mainly to covid 19. Production of building materials to logistics is affecting the time frame in completing building. Most of the building materials are from overseas. If possible don't buy unit, apartment or townhouse, buy house. |

Students in F-1 status must apply for CPT authorization before starting all off-campus learning activities. US Immigration regulations state that CPT authorization is required for all off-campus activity, including required experiential education (practicums), and internship experience (unpaid or paid). CPT associated with the PharmD curriculum: Because the PharmD Program requires experiential learning starting in the first year, International Students (F-1 visa holders) are eligible to apply immediately for CPT associated with the curriculum. CPT associated with employment, paid or unpaid, as a pharmacist intern: International students (F-1 visa holders) may be also be eligible for internship-related practical training while enrolled full-time in the UW PharmD Program. Each international student is assigned to a UW ISS (International Student Services) advisor, who will determine individual student eligibility for employment-associated Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Eligibility for CPT relies on a student’s prior history of education in the US, how the activity is in compliance with US government immigration rules (as assessed by UW ISS) and how the activity is supported by the academic department as related to the degree program (as assessed by School of Pharmacy advisors and faculty). Students must have a job before application for CPT, and CPT is authorized for that specific job. If a student is authorized for CPT for a specific job and finds another job opportunity or wishes to leave a current job during an authorized CPT period, the student must submit a request to terminate the authorized CPT and a request to authorize a new CPT site. Here are ISS resources and instructions to start the process: You can take the online CPT Orientation Course to help familiarize yourself with the CPT process Please review the ISS CPT information, including eligibility rules, application instructions, etc. ISS also offers monthly information sessions Implications for Optional Practical Training (OPT) Under Federal immigration law, there is no limit to CPT; however, if students use more than 12 months of full-time CPT, they will lose the opportunity to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) and may lose their ability to remain legally in the U.S. after degree completion. PharmD students interested in applying for OPT should consider the following: Core (required) experiential courses in the School of Pharmacy PharmD “Purple” curriculum, launched in Autumn 2019, will result in less than 12 months of full-time CPT. An international student who receives an offer of employment as a pharmacist intern (or any other employment) must apply for CPT. This CPT will be added to the total CPT time associated with the required experiential courses in the PharmD curriculum. Prior to making decisions related to employment, international students are encouraged to contact their advisor regarding how optional CPT for intern pharmacist positions, in combination with curriculum-related CPT, may potentially affect their OPT eligibility. Graduates of a School of Pharmacy Outside of the U.S. (Foreign Graduate Students) International students who hold a five-year undergraduate pharmacy degree conferred by a recognized school of pharmacy outside the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico may consider the option of taking the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE) in lieu of pursuing the PharmD degree program. The Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) operates under the auspices of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). NABP provides the FPGEC Certification Program as a means of documenting the educational equivalency of a candidate’s foreign pharmacy education, as well as the license and/or registration. Candidates are also required to pass the FPGEE, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), and the Test of Spoken English (TSE). The FPGEC Certificate allows foreign graduates to partially fulfill eligibility requirements for licensure in the states that consider the certification. Individuals who wish to obtain more information about this option are advised to visit the NABP website at: www.nabp.net or contact the Washington Board of Pharmacy at 360-236-4825 International students who hold a four-year undergraduate pharmacy degree from a School of Pharmacy outside the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are not eligible to complete the FPGEE option and will have to complete a PharmD Degree Program in the US in order to become licensed to practice pharmacy in the US. Such a degree holder who is interested in the UW PharmD Program will have to complete all prerequisites at a college, university or community college in the US as well as meet all other application requirements and standards. https://sop.washington.edu/pharmd/admissions/international-applicants/ |
