Zilia ist eine Gemeinde mit Einwohnern (Stand ) im Département Haute-Corse auf der französischen Insel Korsika.
Geografie
Zilia liegt im Nordwesten von Korsika auf einer Höhe von 360 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel in einem Tal zu Füßen des Gebirgszugs Monte Grosso. Die Gemeinde befindet sich 49 Kilometer südwestlich von Bastia, dem Sitz der Präfektur des Départements und 4 Kilometer nordwestlich des Regionalen Naturparks Korsika. Das Gemeindegebiet hat eine Fläche von 14,01 Quadratkilometern. Das Bergdorf wird von der Départementsstraße D151 als Durchgangsstraße passiert. Der Weiler Ghiarghia und das lieu-dit ('Ort, der genannt wird...') Poffiume gehören zur Gemeinde.
Geschichte
In der Zeit der Besetzung durch Rom gab es eine Ortschaft namens Podium Fluminis mit etwa 800 Einwohnern im heutigen lieu-dit Poffiume. Die Bewohner wanderten nach Zilia und Ghiarghia ab und Podium Fluminis verschwand fast völlig.
1509 wurde der Konvent von Alzipratu gegründet. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurde er von über 20 Mönchen bewohnt. Im 18. Jahrhundert diente er jedoch als Basis des Militärs im Unabhängigkeitskrieg, deshalb wurde die Anlage 1732 befestigt. Die französischen Truppen nutzten die Basis bis 1752, dann verließen sie die Insel. 1755, als Pascal Paoli die Regierung Korsikas übernahm, wurden die Gebäude von korsischen Einheiten genutzt. Nach der Vereinigung Korsikas mit Frankreich im Jahre 1768 kehrten die Mönche zurück und blieben bis zur Französischen Revolution (1789–1799).
Bevölkerungsentwicklung
Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Kapelle Saint-François steht im lieu-dit Poffiume. In der Kapelle steht eine Statue aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, die 1976 als Monument historique ('historisches Denkmal') eingestuft wurde.
Die barocke Pfarrkirche Saint-Roch ist dem Heiligen Rochus geweiht. In ihr befinden sich mehrere als Monument historique klassifizierte Objekte. Dazu gehört eine Skulpturengruppe aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, ein Gemälde aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, der Hochaltar aus dem 18. Jahrhundert und die Orgel, die 1831 von Antonius Joseph Saladini gebaut wurde. Die Orgel wurde 1995 restauriert.
Der Nordflügel der Klostergebäude von Alzipratu ist erhalten. Im Refektorium gibt es noch Wandmalereien. Die Klosterkirche ist verfallen und der Kreuzgang ist verschwunden. Die Gebäude wurden 1966 in das Zusatzverzeichnis der Monuments historiques eingetragen. Der Couvent d'Alzipratu befindet sich heute im Privatbesitz.
Von der Kapelle San Lussoriu aus dem 10. Jahrhundert ist nur die Apsis erhalten.
Wirtschaft
Zilia ist für seine Weinberge bekannt, besonders für den Rotwein aus der Domaine d'Alzipratu. Seit 1995 wird Quellwasser aus Zilia als Mineralwasser unter dem Namen Zilia auf ganz Korsika vermarktet. Eine andere Quelle, die Quelle von Dirza, produzierte bis 1914 Tafelwasser. Ihr Wasser ist radioaktiv und man hielt es damals für besonders verdauungsfördernd und entwässernd.

Court Holds that Pre-Suit Offer Did Not Moot Claims
Campbell-Ewald, Settlements, Standing, Text Messages.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida recently held that a defendant's pre-suit proffer of a settlement check and a letter promising not to violate the TCPA in the future did not moot the plaintiff's claims because the plaintiff did not accept the offer. Edelsberg v. Brea Fin. Gp., LLC, No. 18-cv-62119, 2019 WL 1302828 (S.D. Fla. Eb. 26, 2019). The case highlights the ongoing litigation regarding Article III standing in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, 136 S. Ct. 663 (2016).
In Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez, a narrow majority of the Supreme Court held that an unaccepted offer of judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 does not render a plaintiff's claim moot. Id. at 673. In so holding, the majority was careful to distinguish between merely offering relief (which, the majority held, creates neither an "obligation" to provide nor an "entitlement" to receive relief) and actually providing relief that fully redresses the claim (which, one might reasonably presume, should end the case because there is no longer a real dispute for the court to adjudicate). Members of our TCPA team recently discussed the Campbell-Ewald decision and the reasons why submission of funds with the court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 67 should not be subject to this holding in a blog post and article that can be found here and here.
The Edelsberg case involved a slightly different fact pattern because the defendant submitted a check and a letter to the plaintiff before the plaintiff even filed his lawsuit. 2019 WL 1302828 at *1. Specifically, prior to filing his lawsuit, the plaintiff sent the defendant a pre-litigation demand letter alleging that the defendant violated the TCPA when it sent him a telemarketing text message using an ATDS. Id. The defendant responded by sending the plaintiff a cashier's check totaling $3,000 payable to the plaintiff. Id. The defendant also included a letter that denied any TCPA violation and stated that the defendant would not violate the TCPA in the future. Id.
The plaintiff rejected the check and the terms of the accompanying letter and subsequently filed a putative class action. Id.
The defendant filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, which argued that its settlement offer mooted the plaintiff's entire action because the offer provided compensation over-and-above the amount available as damages under the TCPA and because the letter pledged not to send future messages in violation of the TCPA. Id. The defendant argued that Campbell-Ewald was distinguishable because, here, the defendant made its offer prior to the date the plaintiff filed his complaint. Id. at *2. Whereas, in Campbell-Ewald, the defendant issued its offer after the plaintiff filed his complaint. Id.
The court applied the Seventh Circuit's decision in Laurens v. Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, 868 F.3d 622 (7th Cir. 2017), and rejected the defendant's argument. Id. The court reasoned that Laurens involved similar facts and the Seventh Circuit rejected a virtually identical argument. Id. The court quoted the following language from the Laurens decision:
The only salient differences between this case and Campbell-Ewald are that [the defendant] made its offer before [the plaintiff] sued, and that it communicated its offer through a generic letter instead of Rule 68's more formal process. Neither distinction matters . . . . Campbell-Ewald's core lesson is that unaccepted contract offers are nullities; settlement proposals are contract offers; and therefore unaccepted settlement proposals are nullities. Nothing about that logic turns on whether a suit has been filed.
Id. (quoting Laurens, 868 F.3d at 627).
The Edelsberg decision shows that some courts continue hold that a rejected pre-suit settlement offer may not be sufficient to moot a plaintiff's putative class action complaint. Nonetheless, as we have previously argued, the submission of funds into a court's account pursuant to Rule 67 should moot a plaintiff's claim because Rule 67 does not relate to "offers." Rule 67 creates a mechanism for depositing money into an interest-bearing account, and actually anticipates that a defendant can seek leave to make such a deposit if the defendant no longer "claims any of it" as its own. Depositing funds with the court under Rule 67 and disclaiming any interest in the money is the functional equivalent of depositing the funds directly into the plaintiff's bank account. Several of the Campbell-Ewald justices even suggested that the tender of complete relief would be sufficient to render claims moot. | {

Transfer news LIVE: Everton sack Frank Lampard, Chelsea want Fernandez and Kane could stay at Tottenham
23 January 2023, 10:31 am ·30-min read
Chelsea's spending spree looks set to continue after the club has reignited interest in Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez. The Blues targeted the 21-year-old right at the start of the January transfer window but talks between them and Benfica broke down as despite Cheslea believing they had agreed an appropriate fee. A bid of £112million was reportedly accepted by Benfica and personal terms agreed with Fernandez before the Portuguese club decided not to sell. Now the Blues look set to re-open talks and get a deal over the line before the deadline.
Elsewhere, Manchester United have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Tottenham's Harry Kane with the Athletic reporting that the 29-year-old striker is open to extending his career at Tottenham and will enter talks with the club this month over a contract extension. The England captain's current deal runs out in the summer of 2024 with United reportedly hoping to bring him to Old Trafford this coming summer.
Also in the news, Everton have rejected a bid from Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr who made a move for back-up goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. Thomas Frank has shut down any talk of Brentford goalkeeper David Raya possibly leaving and Hakim Ziyech is being eyed by Jose Mourinho's Roma.
Follow all the latest January transfer rumours and confirmed news below:
Transfer news live
Frank Lampard sacked as Everton manager
Harry Kane open to staying at Spurs despite Man Utd interest
Chelsea reignite talks for midfielder Enzo Fernandez
Everton reject bid for Asmir Begovic
David Raya not for sale says Brentford's Thomas Frank
Jose Mourinho's Roma target Hakim Ziyech
15:31 , Michael Jones
Everton have sacked Frank Lampard as manager.
Lampard departs short of a year in charge at Goodison Park with the Toffees 19th, in the relegation zone and two points adrift of safety.
Some Everton players felt it was inevitable last night, the Independent understands.
Everton have endured a dismal start to the season with Lampard's side last winning against Crystal Palace in October, meaning just one victory in their last 12 Premier League games after defeat to West Ham last weekend.
Danjuma to join Everton
Everton are set for a boost as Arnaut Danjuma will join the club over the course of the next 24 hours.
Sky Sports News reported on Saturday that Frank Lampard played a key role in the deal though there are now whispers that Lampard faces the sack from the Everton higher ups.
Danjuma said to be aware of the challenge of joining a club in the midst of a relegation fight but he wants to test himself and help the Toffees stay in the Premier League.
The forward has completed his medical and the paperwork should be signed and completed soon.
West Ham to offload Antonio?
West Ham sealed the signing of Danny Ings from Aston Villa last week and may still be in the market for another striker as they look to up their goal scoring tally.
The Hammers have bid £25m for Terem Moffi with Lorient on the verge of accepting the bid should the player fancy moving to London. Moffi is said to be undecided about the move though.
If they manage to get that deal over the line or one for an alternate striker then West Ham are reportedly willing to consider offers for striker Michail Antonio who has interest from other Premier League sides.
Ziyech to Newcastle?
It's already been said that Hakim Ziyech may now be surplus to requirements at Chelsea - especially after the arrivals of Mykhaylo Mudryk, Noni Madueke and Joao Felix - meaning clubs across Europe are now enquiring over his availability.
Jose Mourinho's Roma have already been in contact over a move for the Morocco international and now it's said Newcastle United could rival them for his signature. That's according to The Evening Standard.
Everton are also understood to be keen on the former Ajax star, who has reportedly already opened talks over a Roma switch.
Thiago focused on immediate improvements as Liverpool battle 'psychological' hangover
Thiago Alcantara believes Liverpool are suffering a psychological hangover from last season and the disappointment of missing out on the quadruple after coming so close to a historic achievement.
Liverpool won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup only to see their hopes of lifting the Premier League title dashed on the final day of the domestic campaign and then lose the Champions League final to Real Madrid.
The Spain midfielder feels the huge effort Liverpool put into a 63-game campaign is taking its toll on them, but that the crushing blow was having to deal with their frustration as he said they need to be tougher now.
Thiago aims for immediate improvements as Liverpool battle 'psychological' hangover
Benfica hold firm on Fernandez stance
Benfica are holding firm on their stance to not let Enzo Fernandez leave for less than his £106m release clause, according to The Guardian.
Chelsea are expected to return with a fresh bid for the Argentina midfielder before the transfer window shuts later this month.
The Blues also remain interested in Moises Caicedo, though a bid for the Ecuadorian has been knocked back by Brighton.
Raya not for sale says Frank
Brentford manager Thomas Frank says goalkeeper David Raya is not for sale and doesn't expect him to leave the club.
The Spanish international has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Tottenham but Frank is confident of keeping the goalkeeper at the club.
"All my players, I would like to hold onto them forever," said the Bees boss.
"David is one of the best goalkeepers in the league. He's in good form, he has everything a goalkeeper needs to have. He's ours for the next one-and-a-half years and the good thing is we have decided not to do anything for one-and-a-half years.
"They [interested clubs] will need to pay a lot of money."
Harry Kane open to extend stay at Tottenham
The Athletic are reporting that Tottenham striker Harry Kane is open to signing a new contract with the club dealing a blow to Manchester United's pursuit of the 29-year-old.
The England captain's current deal at Spurs lasts until the summer of 2024, but Kane will apparantly enter talks with Spurs at the end of January transfer window.
After selling Cristiano Ronaldo and bringing Wout Weghorst in on a short term loan Man Utd are in the market for a top quality striker with Kane at the top of their list.
They were thinking of moving for him this summer but the Athletic's report adds that Kane's priority is to stay and succeed with Spurs.
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville suggested that "Kane would be a great signing but getting him out of Tottenham is not going to be easy."
Former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness agreed with Neville, indicating that the Bundesliga giants could not afford Tottenham's £130m asking price for Harry Kane.

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri criticised by former players with club in relegation zone
Former Everton striker Kevin Campbell has called out the "foolishness" of club owner Farhad Moshiri after he distanced himself from a decision on the future of manager Frank Lampard.
The 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers West Ham was a ninth loss in 12 Premier League matches, from which the Toffees have taken just five points, and left them second-bottom in the table.
Moshiri, attending his first match in 15 months, was asked after the game at the London Stadium whether it was time for Lampard to be sacked after almost a year at the club.
Everton owner Moshiri criticised by former players with club in drop zone
Sanson heading out on loan
Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Sanson is poised to sign for Ligue 1 side Strasbourg on loan for the rest of the season.
The deal would take Sanson back to France until the summer but does not include an option to buy the 28-year-old midfielder.
Villa signed Sanson from Marseille halfway through the 2020/21 season and the former France under-21 international has made 21 Premier League appearances for the club.
What's going on with Wolves?
Wolves remain in talks over a deal for Flamengo midfielder Joao Gomes but finally tied down a deal for summer target Craig Dawson at the weekend.
Gomes wants to sign for Wolves despite strong interest from Lyon and the midlands side had an offer accepted for £14.9m (€17m) that Flamengo then reneged upon when Lyon bid £16.2m (€18.5m).
Wolves have a valuation for Gomes that they plan to stick to, however, meaning Flamengo may be left with no choice but to sell to the Midlands club if Gomes refuses to move elsewhere.
Wolves have also added Mario Lemina, Pablo Sarabia and striker Matheus Cunha to the squad this month.
McKennie on Arsenal radar
It really feels as though Arsenal are ramping up their January transfer business in order to bring in players that can drive them towards the Premier League title.
With Manchester City being a powerhouse and Liverpool falling off their usual standards Arsenal may not have a better chance at winning the league and they'll need squad depth to do so.
Juventus' Weston McKennie is next on their agenda, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian side are open to selling the midfielder with a reported £17.5million fee up-front, plus bonuses, apparantly enough to secure a deal.
Borussia Dortmund, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Fulham are also said to be keen on the American.
Jesse Marsch defends not playing Georginio Rutter as Brentford frustrate Leeds
Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch defended his decision to keep club record signing Georginio Rutter on the bench in his side's 0-0 home draw against Brentford.
Rutter, signed last week for £36million from Hoffenheim, was an unused substitute in Sunday's frustrating Premier League stalemate.
A disjointed match was crying out for Rutter to make himself an instant Elland Road hero, but Marsch resisted the temptation to turn to the France Under-21 striker.
Newcastle eye up McTominay
Newcastle are reportedly keen to bring Scott McTominay to St. James' Park and have held talks with Manchester United who are unwilling to sell the midfielder.
The Athletic say Newcastle admire McTominay and may make a move for him in the future as United will not sanction his departure this month.
The 26-year-old is contracted at Old Trafford until June 2025 but may be allowed to leave sooned if Erik ten Hag can find a stronger replacement in the middle of the pitch.
Leeds interested in defender Monteiro
Leeds are interested in signing a young Portuguese centre-back Diogo Monteiro. The 17-year-old is currently playing for Swiss side Servette.
He has played seven times for Servette's first-team this season and has been watched by Leeds scouts who are keen to bring him in at Elland Road.
Jan Bednarek back at Southampton after Aston Villa loan is cut short
Defender Jan Bednarek has been recalled from his loan spell at Aston Villa by Southampton.
The 26-year-old Poland international moved to Villa Park in the summer but made just four appearances.
He has now returned to St Mary's to help Nathan Jones' squad as they battle against relegation from the Premier League.
Bednarek has played 153 times for the Saints since joining from Lech Poznan in 2017.
Newcastle to sign another forward?
When Newcastle allowed Chris Wood to leave for Nottingham Forest last week it left a gap in Eddie Howe's squad up top. They no longer have a tall striker who can hold up play and be a target man for long balls and crosses into the box.
Speaking ahead of Newcastle's Carabao Cup semi-final against Southampton, Howe confirmed he was looking to get in a replacement.
"It's no secret that losing Chris was a blow for us," he said. "We're not necessarily, as I said in the previous press conference, looking for a like-for-like transfer, but someone who can bolster us in the attacking areas."
No chance to sign Camavinga
Arsenal thought they may have had a chance at bringing Eduardo Camavinga to the Emirates on a loan deal from Real Madrid but that isn't the case.
Standard Sport claimed last week that the Real Madrid midfielder was on the Gunners wish list as a potential loan option but transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says that Camavinga remains a key player for Real and he won't be allowed to leave the club.
Cesar Azpilicueta advises 'very confident' Mykhailo Mudryk to ignore price tag
Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has advised new signing Mykhailo Mudryk not to allow his price tag to stifle his ability to express himself on the field.
The 22-year-old made his debut in the goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, his first action since November, following his move from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal which could be worth £89million.
That figure potentially makes the Ukraine international Chelsea's second-biggest transfer purchase after Romelu Lukaku but Azpilicueta has urged the player to ignore the numbers around the deal.
Premier League talking points
Mudryk makes an early mark
He may not have played since November but new Chelsea signing Mykhailo Mudryk produced an encouraging cameo in an otherwise dreary goalless draw at Liverpool.
The 22-year-old Ukraine international could end up becoming the club's second most expensive signing after joining in a potential £89million deal but was their liveliest performer in a 35-minute substitute appearance.
Cody Gakpo's slow start to life at Liverpool can be traced to two key reasons
There were no goals at Anfield but a manager reflected on what he termed "promising signs" from the forward signed in January. It was Graham Potter, not Jurgen Klopp, and the attacker in question was Mykhailo Mudryk, not Cody Gakpo. Any comparison is indirect and inexact, and not merely because Potter was asked about a debutant and Klopp was not quizzed about an arrival making his fourth appearance. It was Arsenal Chelsea pipped for Mudryk's signature and Manchester United who were caught napping when Liverpool nipped in to get Gakpo.
Mudryk was a substitute, Gakpo a starter but a common denominator was a difficulty finding the target amid some wayward finishing: eye-catching as the £88 million man's pace was, he directed two efforts into the side-netting and was seemingly caught unawares when his second chance fell to him. Gakpo had seven chances, skying the first and best, and the only one that tested Kepa Arrizabalaga was struck at him, albeit after a deft spin and shot.
But if one fundamental difference is that the Ukrainian cost twice as much as the Dutchman, and would presumably have been beyond Liverpool's budget, another is that Mudryk's bow came in his preferred role, on the left wing. It is Gakpo's best position, too, and with Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz injured, it felt clear his short-term future would lie there.
Gakpo's slow start to life at Liverpool can be traced to two key reasons
Will Spurs land Pedro Porro?
Tottenham are desperate to get a deal for Sporting CP's Pedro Porro over the line and have offered to give up Marcus Edwards' 50 per cent sell-on fee as part of negotiations.
An offer of £30m has been rejected by Sporting but Spurs have sent a second bid including Edwards' clause with more money up-front and more add-ons included.
Sporting are adamant that only Porro's £39.5m release clause, paid in one lump sum, will suffice in order to land the right-back.
Forest's survival bid continues to grow
Nottingham Forest are the lower reaches' form team as a draw at third-bottom Bournemouth made it 12 points from the last 21.
They have lost just once in that run and are up to 13th, four points clear of danger. The addition of experienced striker Chris Wood from Newcastle, who made his debut against the Cherries, has strengthened them further.
It was billed as the game where the loser would get the sack and Everton's defeat at fellow strugglers West Ham sees Frank Lampard clinging to his job just over a week away from his first anniversary at the club.
A 2-0 loss at the London Stadium – a ninth defeat in 12 league matches – leaves his side second-bottom with leaders Arsenal and Liverpool their next two fixtures.
David Moyes, however, can breathe slightly easier for now after the Hammers climbed out of the bottom three.

Mikel Arteta lauds Arsenal's 'extraordinary' first half of season
Mikel Arteta hailed Arsenal's first half of the Premier League season as "extraordinary" following their last-gasp victory over Manchester United which moved them five points clear at the summit.
The Gunners ran out 3-2 winners following Eddie Nketiah's late effort but, despite their lead at the top of the table, Arteta insists closest challengers Manchester City remain the standard bearers.
Marcus Rashford had put United ahead only for Nketiah to equalise and Bukayo Saka to put Arsenal ahead.
The visitors hit back through Lisandro Martinez's first goal for the club before Nketiah flicked home a stray Martin Odegaard shot in the closing stages.
The win moved Arsenal on to 50 points from their opening 19 games of the campaign – a record for the club at this stage of the season – eclipsing even Arsene Wenger's invincibles by five points.
Billing attracting interest from Europe
Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing is generating interest from several clubs across Europe during in this transfer window with one of those being LaLiga side Valencia.
There have been no official bids or contact from any other club yet but a move for Billing may not be too long in the making. He has been a key part of Bournemouth this season having scored four goals in 21 appearances in the league and cup.
Another hat-trick for Haaland
The City striker netted his fourth hat-trick of the season in a 15-minute spell either side of half-time. The prolific Norway international took his goal tally for the season to 31 in all competitions and only Alan Shearer, with five, has scored more hat-tricks in a Premier League season.
Haaland's current total of 25 goals would have won him the Golden Boot in more than half of the 30 seasons since 1992.
Gunners leave it late to beat Man Utd
Eddie Nketiah's late instinctive finish decided a hugely entertaining game at home to Manchester United, whose recent bubble was burst at the Emirates Stadium.
Marcus Rashford's early strike enhanced United's aspirations of joining the title race only for Nketiah and a Bukayo Saka stunner to turn things around.
Lisandro Martinez's header looked like earning a point before Nketiah turned home his second in the 90th minute.
Emirates Stadium gets a taste of Highbury nostalgia as Arsenal overcome both rivals and adversity
Throw away your plastic clappers – there is no need for an artificial atmosphere at Arsenal these days. This is the Emirates and the sound you can hear is that of the Premier League leaders hitting the front, firmly now, as title favourites. At the end of an absorbing and dramatic win against Manchester United it was only the bitter chill that reminded you this was January and not April or May.
There was the sight of exhausted bodies strewn on the turf. After Eddie Nkietah and Oleksandr Zinchenko collapsed, Bukayo Saka wheeled away and roared, as Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka lapped the pitch.
Mikel Arteta's side are pushing into new ground; this young team are responding to the pressures they are only just discovering. So, too, is the Emirates. Gone are the days of the crowd here living on the edge of doom; there is resilience to this side and while Arsenal's season has been typified by fast, attacking starts, it has been so far matched by their collective ability to respond to adversity.
Emirates Stadium tastes Highbury nostalgia as Arsenal overcome adversity
A grand return for Poch?
There have been reports from the Italian media that Antonio Conte is set to leave Tottenham at the end of the current season and that the club are already looking for a replacement manager.
Thomas Tuchel is the early bookmakers' favourite after leaving Chelsea a few months ago but TMW are reporting that initial talks have begun with Mauricio Pochettino over a sensational return to north London.

Liverpool recall Williams
Liverpool have decided to recall defender Rhys Williams from his loan spell at Blackpool.
The 21-year-old will go back into Jurgen Klopp's squad for the second half of the season after finding his game time reduced at the Championship club.
Williams made 17 league appearances for Blackpool but hasn't featured in four of their last five matches. The Athletic reports that Williams' return could have a second reason as it opens the door for Nat Phillips to leave the club.
Following Virgil van Dijk's injury Phillips looked set to remain at the club as defensive cover but with Williams back at Anfield Liverpool are prepared to listen to both loan and permanent offers for Phillips.
Last summer, Benfica wanted to take Phillips on a season-long loan and there were also serious interest from Bournemouth, Burnley and Southampton.
Bednarek returning to Southampton
Aston Villa defender Jan Bendarek will see his season-long loan to Aston Villa cut short and return to parent club Southampton, according to Polish outlet Meczyki.
The 26-year-old Poland centre-back only made four appearances for Villa and is heading back to St Mary's to help in their relegation dogfight.
Antonio Conte hopes Tottenham's collapse at Manchester City is turning point
Antonio Conte hopes Tottenham's second-half collapse at Manchester City can be a turning point in their season.
Spurs suffered a 4-2 Premier League defeat away to the champions on Thursday despite holding a half-time lead for the first time since October 12.
It continued Tottenham's inconsistent form with three defeats in four league games this month, but Conte referenced a similar experience during his time in charge of Inter Milan as a catalyst for change.
Inter let slip a two-goal lead in similar fashion to lose 3-2 at Borussia Dortmund during the 2019-20 season and yet responded with a strong run where they suffered only one further defeat during the next three months.
Frank Lampard to be sacked as Everton boss?
Rumours have picked up in recent days that Frank Lampard is on the verge of being sacked by Everton. The Toffees are 19th in the table having earned just 15 points from their first 20 matches.
The 2-0 defeat to West Ham at the weekend compounding the issue as victory for the Hammers took them out of the relegation zone leaving Everton facing the prospect of dropping to the Championship.
Sky Sports News' Vinny O'Connor spoke about Lampard's future saying:
"We are hearing that at some point a decision will be made and the expectation is it will be announced that Frank Lampard will be leaving his post as Everton manager.
"It will be less than a year since he took over – he actually was appointed as manager on January 31st last year. And it's been a year and seven days since Rafa Benitez was removed from his position as Everton.
"You can see why Everton are in this position once again. They are second from bottom in the Premier League, only above Southampton on goal difference. They have lost to Southampton and Wolves in recent weeks and if you saw the performance against West Ham, there were defensive mistakes and they are looking a bit toothless in attack once again. And that's all added up to Everton's problems and why there's a fear once again that they are in a relegation battle."
Five clubs missed out on Kiwior
Arsenal are set to confirm their signing of Jakub Kiwior from Spezia after winning the race for the defender.
Borussia Dortmund were reportedly the Gunners' biggest competition with an offer of £19.5m which Arsenal beat with a bid totalling £21m.
Atletico Madrid, RB Leipzig, Brentford and Leicester also had offers turned down.
Forest's Donnelly set for Vale loan
Nottingham Forest left-back Aaron Donnelly is set to join Port Vale on loan.
The 19-year-old defender is a promising Northern Ireland U21 international and will join the League One side for the rest of the season.
Arsenal and the twin critical tests that show they are now the real deal
One of the secrets of Arsenal's title surge has been how judiciously Mikel Arteta has managed the mood of his players, "grounding their confidence", but even he struggled to find the words in the aftermath of a win like this.
"It was electric," the Basque said. It has also led to something "extraordinary", as Arteta added.
Arsenal are at exactly the halfway point of their league campaign, with 19 games played, and have 50 points. Only four sides in history have ever had more at this stage. It is as emphatic and clean an illustration as you could have as to how Arteta's side have so far passed every test.
Before wondering about what next, and how their main challengers were one of those four teams, it is worth considering what they've come through.
Arsenal passing twin critical tests shows they are now the real deal
Spurs face competition for Zaniolo
Sky Italia claim that Tottenham will face competition from AC Milan to sign Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma.
Milan are said to want to bolster their attacking options in a bid to retain the Serie A title.
However, Roma are reportedly demanding more than £30million for the 23-year-old who has 18 months left on his contract which could deter both clubs unless they can negotiate a price drop.
Fresneda could make move to Arsenal
Arsenal target Ivan Fresneda is deciding on which club to join this month with Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund to two most viable options.
The Athletic say a fee of £13.1m has been agreed both clubs have made personal terms with Fresneda plus a clause to loan him back to Valladolid for the rest of the season.
The 18-year-old right-back is expected to decide on which club to join in the next few days.
Everton's latest mess of their own making has them headed for the Championship
The anniversary of one of the more ignominious events in Everton's chequered recent history falls this week. Not one of the nine defeats in 12 league games that ended Rafa Benitez's reign, as opposed to the nine losses in Frank Lampard's last 12 league matches in charge now, but Vitor Pereira's car-crash interview on Sky Sports which made it impossible for even Farhad Moshiri to appoint a manager who got 1860 Munich relegated. From the German second division, too.
But ignominy feels a constant companion. For a spell on Saturday, Everton slipped to the foot of the table. Aston Villa's winner at Southampton reprieved them. It would have been symbolic in one respect, if not another. Maybe Everton have actually hit rock bottom. Maybe there are deeper lows.
Certainly for a club who have been ever-presents in the top flight since Winston Churchill was Prime Minister, there is a growing possibility next season's fixture list will include Rotherham and Plymouth, that their local derby will be against Preston, not Liverpool. It would strip Everton of Premier League funds and, for a club who have amassed financial losses and who – presumably, anyway – are stripped of Alisher Usmanov's money, that would seem to pose an existential threat.
Villa want Deulofeu
Unai Emery's Aston Villa have been linked with former Watford, Everton and Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu.
Udinese sporting director Pierpaolo Marino confirmed that clubs around Europe - including Villa - are interested in signing the forward snd seemingly Marino refused to rule out a departure for the 28-year-old.
"Every week I have to answer these speculations. For now, the player and his agents have withstood the approaches of important clubs around Europe." he said.
"I must say that at the moment there are no serious negotiations underway with Roma, but I confirm that there are interests from Europe.
"The intention of the club has always been not to let the players leave in January, but we know that the scenarios can change given that there are various components to take into account."
Real Madrid target Chiesa
Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing up a move for Juventus and Italy star Federico Chiesa.
Fichajes claim that Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to capitalise on Juventus' 15-point deduction in Serie A and bring the 25-year-old Italian winger to Madrid.
The Spanish giants are building a squad of young exciting talent and Chiesa fits the bill.
A great day to put things right – John Stones insists Man City had to improve
John Stones accepts Manchester City had some wrongs to put right after manager Pep Guardiola rounded on the players last week.
City boss Guardiola angrily criticised his squad in public, claiming they were lacking hunger and fire, after they needed to fight back from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham last Thursday.
Guardiola's broadside underlined his frustration after a series of frustrating results, including a derby loss to Manchester United and a meek Carabao Cup exit at Southampton.
Their response was to brush Wolves aside 3-0, with the prolific Erling Haaland scoring his fourth hat-trick of the season, in their latest Premier League outing at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Roma interested in Ziyech
Roma are interested in signing Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech reports Sky Sports from Italy.
There are rumours that winger Nicolo Zaniolo will leave the Italian side this month so Roma are looking at possible replacements with Ziyech being near the top of the list.
Chelsea have a surplus of players in his position with Ziyech's future at the club looking uncertain. He's competing with new right-winger Noni Madueke and the injured Raheem Sterling who are both siad to be ahead of him in the pecking order.
However, a transfer for the Morocco international is tricky for Roma who would struggle to match Ziyech's high wages at Chelsea.
Everton reject bid for Begovic
Everton have rejected an offer from Al Nassr for goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.
Begovic is firmly the number two at Goodison Park having made only three appearances for the club this season with his contract also running out this summer.
Al Nassr - the Saudi Arabian club that Cristiano Ronaldo moved to - reportedly want to sign the goalkeeper on loan but their proposal was rejected by the Toffees.
It's expected Al Nassr will return with a second offer in the coming days.
Chelsea reignite Fernandez interest
Chelsea could make another expensive signing before the end of the January transfer window as they will reportedly attempt to bring Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez to Stamford Bridge.
Portuguese outlet Record claims the Blues are ready to reingite their bid and throw 'everything' at Benfica before deadline day.
Chelsea were understood to have struck a £112million deal with the Portuguese side and agreed personal terms with the 21-year-old Argentina international, only for talks between the two clubs to turn sour.
Fernandez has been their top target throughout this window and despite having already spent £152m the Blues ate keen to get this one over the line.

I was surprised to see in my Saturday newspaper that the advertisements have begun for the 96 new houses, apartments and townhouses (as pictured) that are planned for the Erskine College site in Island Bay. Of course I know that they are spec built, and so the developer needs to start selling them even before the first sod is turned, but it appears to me that there is a very long way to go before he can start building.
What the developer, Ian Cassels of the Wellington Company, has planned is to retain and strengthen the French Gothic-style chapel, designed by Catholic architect John Sydney Swan, but demolish to the Main Block and Reverand Mother's Garden, both also designed by Swan, that formed the rest of the school. The Main Block is one of the defining buildings of Island Bay, and can be seen from everywhere in the suburb. The entire site are of exceptional heritage value, and are listed as a Category 1 heritage place by Heritage New Zealand, and are listed on the district plan as heritage sites.
Erskine College was a Catholic girls' boarding school founded by the French Society of the Sacred Heart (Sacré Coeur) which educated 3,000 students. The main block opened to its students in 1907, and the chapel was built in 1929-30 has been described as 'masterpiece of French Gothic architecture'. The recent Conservation Plan of the entire site talks about the 'trinity of essential elements' – that is the Main Block, the Chapel and the Reverend Mother's Garden, and that these three elements all have exceptional architectural, historical and social significance.
The Wellington Company successfully applied for Special Housing Status for the Erskine College zone in 2015, which means that the Wellington City Council will provide it with 'a streamlined resource consenting path' to the development. It will be interesting to see how that works in reality, and particularly how it meshes with the resource consent process the Company would require to demolish heritage buildings listed on its District Plan.
On top of this, Cassells faces another challenge, as Erskine College has had a Heritage Order placed on it, which is held by the Save Erskine College Trust (SECT). The Heritage Order process is completely seperate from the Council's Resource Consent process, and likewise does not connect to any Heritage New Zealand process. I can confidently predict that SECT isn't going to sign any permission to demolish the main block or the garden, so there are still many legal hoops the Wellington Company will need to get through before that first sod can be turned. | {

First up we have the Long Fang and the Spark. The Long Fang is equipped with a light field cannon and is a highly mobile, able to skirt around the battlefield looking for the best shot. The Spark comes with a Heavy Particle Accelerator and a battery of rockets for some heavy duty damage.
The Ostrogoth is another interesting addition and this one isn't hovering. It's heavy field gun is perfect for long range bombardments and I can imagine that if it was hovering it would shoot back across the battlefield from the force of the shot!
Some neat looking tanks once again for Heavy Gear and a mighty reinforcement for the forces of the South.
Are you following Heavy Gear Blitz?
I do like both Hetairois a lot. Ostrogoth is also very nice.
very nice, shame the mobile artillery isn't hover as well, but I can see the logistical reasons why not.
Oh yes that would be a problem as every shot they would drift and need to reset to aim. Be a blood nightmare for any gunner lol. | {

Flavio Lombardo Architects is a forward-looking practice committed to design excellence with it's primary interest in facilitating innovative solutions. It was established in 2010 and is a young, innovative and highly motivated Architectural practice based in Dublin.
The focus of the practice is to mesh contemporary design with strong client relationships to produce high quality interesting sustainable architecture.
We place great importance on the way people use buildings, and how buildings affect our sense of well-being.
We put a strong attention on the right use of materials, the quality of light and the relationship between the project and its setting. We regard these issues to be more significant than working in a specific style and wish that each project will be an original understanding of the client, site, brief and budget.
We enjoy having a broad range of projects in the office. From however small to big they may be, we are capable of working across a wide range of sectors. We specialize in residential architecture from residential development, house design and domestic extensions. Our recent projects include house design, domestic extensions for private client and high end fit out for institutional residence.
We pay attention to the client needs and we are interested in helping our clients develop an insight into a project, its problems and potentials. On-going dialogue with our clients is encouraged both as a means of understanding their needs, and of increasing their understanding of the design process.
We are trained designers and problem solvers and can bring real value for money to your project. As Architects we have completed extensive and rigorous professional training regime and are bound by a code of professional conduct. Flavio Lombardo Architects are fully qualified Architects, and both member of the RIAI (Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland) and the Italian Order of Architects, Planners, Landscapists and Conservators. | {

Olly Stone: Warwickshire have to be patient with pace bowler, says Bears boss Robinson
January 13, 2022sports
posted on Jan. 13, 2022 at 6:56 pm
Olly Stone has taken 10 wickets in three Test appearances for England
Warwickshire first-team coach Mark Robinson has warned that the Bears must be patient with injured England pace bowler Olly Stone's return to fitness.
Stone, 28, is recovering well from the back stress fracture that had him considering his future at Test level.
But Robinson says it will be "a bonus" if he is fit for the start of the new county season in April.
"Olly's doing really well," Robinson told BBC CWR. "He had a scan before Christmas, which came back clear."
Stone, who is on a dual contract with England, has so far excelled in his three Test appearances, taking 10 wickets.
His injury last June left him sidelined this winter for the Ashes series. But England have been keen to try and keep him involved when they go the West Indies for a T20 series later this month, followed by three Tests in March.
"They have been excellent," said former England Women World Cup winning boss Robinson. "We're making sure we're all joined up.
"We're hoping he might go to the Caribbean to be in and around the England team – not to take part competitively, just to be part of that tour, to help his build-up to full fitness.
"It's just a case of being patient. We're both just trying to find a way to break this cycle of three or four games, then he has to have some time off.
"He's just starting to bowl now off a few paces as he works his way back to fitness. He's doing everything apart from bowling off his full run-up.
"I'm not sure whether he will be fit for the start of the season. We're planning that he won't be and that if he does make it then it's a bonus."
As to when the new season might begin, the first-class fixtures having not yet been announced, Robinson said: "You can make your assumptions.
"But there's nothing to believe that we're not going to start around the same time as last year. We envisage it being anything between the 5th and 10th of April.
"It's just a bit of a question mark about what happens pre-season. Having lost Pop Welch, we currently have Kabir Ali and Mo Sheikh working with our bowlers to a point where we are able to appoint someone full-time.
"But other than Chris Woakes and Chris Benjamin, who is in South Africa, we now have everyone back for pre-season training. We have Dan Mousley back from Sri Lanka, we have our England Lions boys back, Liam Norwell and Rob Yates, and we now have Alex Davies in the building."
Mark Robinson was talking to BBC CWR's Mikey Burrows.

Klein is bold and colorful WordPress community theme that has all the necessary features to build a highly successful community based website. It supports BuddyPress, bbPress and even WooCommerce. Forget that bland BuddyPress interface, Klein authors have put a unique touch to it.
A nice addition to the sleek and modern design is notification drop-down. It's probably the best way to notify users about the latest updates and events within the community.
The options panel is fairly easy to use so you won't get overwhelmed when customizing the theme. 8 base presets were included to match your brand without much trouble. Many layout options are available for different types of content. | {

HOLY MOLY & THE CRACKERS make riotous party music for the masses. 'Take A Bite' is a concise, passionate take on folk, blues and indie rock.
Led by the euphoric lead single, 'All I Got Is You', 'Take A Bite' combines pop song craft with stomping, four to the floor backing, demonstrating the Newcastle-based sextet's commerciality and ambition, as well as their ability to tackle personal lyrical fare, deftly led by vocalist Ruth Patterson. Further adorning their naturally expressive take on British folk with sizeable dollops of rock'n'soul, sharp indie-rock, vulnerable balladeering and festival-ready psychedelic trips towards the Middle East, 'Take A Bite' sets its stall confidently in the previously unoccupied space between the Gossip, Arctic Monkeys, the B52s and Gogol Bordello.
Working once again with producer Matt Terry (The Prodigy/The Enemy), the band – completed by Conrad Bird on vocals/guitar/trumpet, Rosie Bristow on accordion, Nick Tyler on electric guitar, Jamie Shields on bass and Tommy Evans on drums/backing vocals – created 'Take A Bite' at VADA Studios in Warwickshire, where the band recorded their 2017 album 'Salem' and their breakthrough track 'Cold Comfort Lane' (which a year later featured in the end credits of 2018 summer blockbuster movie, Oceans 8).
And while the violin and the accordion remain, the whole thing feels rawer now. Riff-heavy, even. With melodic choruses more in the vein of American rockers such as The Black Keys and Jack White, than the tweed and waistcoats of traditional UK folk. 'Take A Bite' reflects the diverse tastes of a band, comprised of six friends with six individual music tastes, who come together to make a sound greater than the sum of its parts. | {

We actually stopped going for rides for a few years because the price of gas was so high. But now with gas under two dollars, we're going for rides again. It's one of our favorite pastimes! It's actually the times when we have communicated the best with each other! No interruptions! Now, of course, we have our cell phones, but we can select our incoming calls! Or just turn them off! We enjoy being together with just scenery and each other!
I remember one ride Jerry and I took to a small lake near Spring Arbor, Michigan. To get to the lake we had to drive down a steep hill. When we wanted to leave, the car had a malfunction of some kind and wouldn't go up the hill! Oh, what were we going to do? Then Jerry discovered it would go in reverse, so we backed up the hill and out on the main road, where he put the car in 'drive' and off we went!
We have some rides that are even kind of monumental! One I'll never forget was when our children were young and we had some news we wanted and needed to share with them. Jerry and I decided to go for a ride and while we had their full attention, told them we were going to have another baby born into our family! They were very excited! Their ages were about thirteen, eleven, seven, and four.
Lots of times our rides included a stop at an ice cream shop for ice cream cones! When we rode up to Wixom Lake, to ride and ski with our boat, we always stopped for ice cream cones on the way home. It was almost required!
In 1990 I went for a drive all by myself to Minneapolis, Minnesota! My mother had flown there from Washington state to visit her brother, my uncle Richard. He was in the Veterans Hospital for cancer surgery. He was my uncle who had been in WWII and lost both of his legs. I always loved him but hadn't seen him since I was about 13!
Jerry and I discussed the possibility of me driving by myself and studied road maps. We decided I could drive north to the upper peninsula and drive on US 2 across the UP until I came to Norway and US 8. I could remember Norway! I'm half Norwegian! I'll skip the rest of the trip except to say I had no problems! When I arrived in Minneapolis, I just followed the signs and ended at the Veterans Hospital! Those were the days before internet and cell phones! It was an unbelievable ride for me all by myself! Aunt Ruth, myself, and Uncle Richard.
A few years ago, Jerry bought a MG! We called it our 'ice cream cone car'! We only went for rides in it and often stopped for an ice cream cone! He loved to take our grandkids for rides in it and they loved it too! Jessica, one of our daughters-in-law, took this picture of us driving ahead of her! We didn't even know she was following us! Just yesterday we went for a ride and saw some Sandhill Cranes! Jerry stopped and I took a picture of them. Another favorite ride of mine is to horse ride! I don't get to often but I love it. This is Sandy and me up in Saskatchewan, Canada! I've gone for rides in airplanes, cruise ships, buses, trains, boats, bicycles, dog sled, and more! I even rode a camel up Mt Sinai, Egypt! There is nothing more relaxing, for me, than going for a ride!

Nice post, Anita! When we lived on Guam in the years before I started school, our family took car rides on Sunday afternoons. Guam is small – 30 miles long and anywhere from 4-12 miles wide – so it doesn't take long to drive all the way around the island. And it's beautiful. Thanks for stirring my memory of driving just for the fun of it.
I'd call this a best-yet post because you seem to have so much fun writing it. Your Jerry's putting the car in reverse when it wouldn't go up the hill and your adventures in the red MG are among my favorites.
Every family has a story (stories). You are proving that true every time you post, Anita.
Thank you, Marian! You are an encouragement to me! | {

Please be advised these are only samples of an assortment of meals that can be prepared by our Chef for your event.
The Snack Bar & Dining Hall will be CLOSED for the winter starting October 15th.
Also be sure to Join us on Memorial Day Weekend 2019 for the Grand Re-Opening of the Snack Bar!
Thank you to all who were a part of the Dining Hall Restoration Project. Whether you made a financial contribution, donated your time, resources, knowledge, encouragement or prayer, we could have not have done this without you!
God was so gracious to bless us with the means and people to make this project happen. We started off on this venture in May of 2018 with fundraising and hired a new Chef, Richard Hand, who were able to give great insight to the much needed renovations to our dining hall and snack bar. By October 2018 we had all of the funds that we needed and was able to begin this process. Be sure to check back here for more photos and information. | {

Bilingual Playgroup
The pioneers of Australian bilingual schools
By coasitadmin August 24, 2022 No Comments

In the 1970s, a group of Italians who migrated to Australia after the war felt a strong desire to recreate the sense of community they had left behind at home and to find ways to ensure that their children and grandchildren remained connected to their roots, particularly through the study of Italian language.
The dream of creating a bilingual school turned out to be a very long and complex one; it required commitment and perseverance, a struggle which spanned the 80s and late 90s, when a seeding grant finally enabled the Italian Bilingual School in Sydney to begin.
"I am very proud to carry on the community spirit of these people, who were the true pioneers of bilingualism", comments Sara Villella , IBS Executive Principal.
The Italian Bilingual School in Sydney is a part of Co.As.It., and was the first Italian bilingual school to be established in Australia, having initially opened in 2002.
Today, approximately 150 students are enrolled, of whom only 40-45% come from families of Italian origin.
Sara Villella has been the Principal of the school for the last three years, and this year assumed the role of Executive Principal, while Giuseppina Pappalardo took on the role of Principal.
Villella, who was born in Melbourne to parents of Calabrian origin, explains that she was raised in a bilingual family from birth: "My mother spoke only in Italian with me, having never learned English. My father, on the other hand, spoke to me in English. I have always studied Italian; at school, in after school programs and throughout my university years".
Having become a teacher in 1993, Villella moved to Rome in 1997, where she lived for 12 years, and returned to Australia to work for Co.As.It. Sydney as Education manager, supporting the principals of the Italian Bilingual School in curriculum development.
"At the time, Co.As.It. taught Italian to about 16,000 primary school students in New South Wales; over the years, funding from both Italy and Australia has decreased and numbers have dropped dramatically, but we still reach about 6,000 students who study Italian through the Insertion program supported by the ministry", explains Villella.
The pedagogical approach of the Italian Bilingual School is based on the so-called 'Canadian model', also referred to as the 'one person, one language' approach, whereby the teacher speaks only one language, and always the same language, with the pupils.
"A typical week for students at our school is divided in two: for two and a half days the students study in Italian, and for the other half of the time, in English. Each class has two teachers – one English and one Italian – and all subjects are taught in Italian, except for mathematics", continues Villella.
"The two colleagues work collaboratively to make sure that curriculum content is covered in both languages, delving deeper on some topics to allow children to acquire the specific terminology required of those subjects".
To ensure the program's continuity and to allow children to continue studying the language throughout high school, in 2010 Co.As.It. became a CELI examination centre for students attending the afterschool program.
As of this year, Co.As.It. has also begun a project with select high schools, including Sydney Grammar and PLC (The Presbyterian Ladies' College) to provide students with CILS and CELI certification from the Universities of Siena and Perugia via an integrated program for students.
"High school students who enrol in the Co.As.It. after school program and participate in preparatory courses for the CELI exam, obtain CELI 3 certification by Year 9, a requirement for foreigners to study at an Italian university. This is an excellent result", stresses the head of the school.
Bilingualism, as is often cited, provides an advantage that goes beyond knowledge of the language.
"The results of the NAPLAN over the years have shown that students develop greater skills in both literacy and numeracy," concludes Sara Villella.

I am using this script for playing videos on planes, cubes etc. It is working fine for me, but when I send my runtime to my friends (videos included in the folder), the videos wont show up (only missing texture magenta color).
So I hope somebody can help me that I can play videos in the .exe when my friends start it.

The COVID-19: Where has humanity gone?
February 14, 2020 February 14, 2020 by Thyaeria, posted in Journey into Thy's Life
I believe by now, everyone knows about the new coronavirus, COVID-19.
Over the past month, many incidents took place, and I'm really pissed. So, I've decided to rant about it here.
It all started before Singapore announced that we're raising the Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) to orange, which you can read about it here.
"I am more critical of Singaporeans than of the Government. Many of our people don't give a damn for the environment when they should. Many of our people are selfish and unkind. Just look at the way they drive," – Professor Tommy Koh
I think by now, we all know that Asia is running out of masks, and I'm really disappointed to see people trying to take advantage of this crisis to earn a fortune by jacking up the masks!
I understand that there's a low supply of masks, and I find it reasonable if it's priced higher than the original amount. But here we are, people jacking up the prices to at least 10 times the price before Singapore issued a warning to several online platforms and even retailers against profiteering.
Next, people hoarding supplies! Singapore has yet to go into an emergency state, but people are all behaving like they're shooting a zombie apocalypse movie. They started hoarding supplies from supermarkets around Singapore, and I've even seen a picture of a granny buying a whole trolley of instant noodles!
I can understand if they're worried and want to get some stockpile on food, but they didn't even spare items like condoms and toilet rolls! Please enlighten me on how is that going to help you prevent the virus? Are you going to wrap yourself in toilet rolls like a mummy and a condom over your head when you go out?
This matter isn't that big of a deal except for unnecessary alarm? Well, I thought so as well until someone starts selling them online! $20 for a single toilet roll!
I mean, I can understand if you're trying to stockpile on masks, soaps, and other hygiene items, but are things like toilet rolls really that necessary? Are they afraid of not having any paper to wipe their bums when they do their business in the toilet? But that brings up one question, what kind of bums do they have to buy a full trolley of toilet rolls!
Moreover, people are also hoarding disinfectant wipes! What the hell can you clean with a tiny little small wipe? Diabetic patients need them!
"A first world country with third world citizens." – Professor Tommy Koh
But those aren't the real reason for my frustration, and the actual cause is because of discrimination!
We have people discriminating against health workers openly. Yes, health workers.
I've seen news here and there that people are discriminating against health workers, treating them as walking viruses!
They're fighting on the frontline, putting their lives at stake to save lives, and yet, people are discriminating against them for it.
There was also an incident where emails among students from a certain university in Singapore being spread around, blaming and discriminating against students from China.
I asked myself this question, "They're definitely one of the most educated bunch in Singapore, and some of them might be the country's future leaders or even the educator of my child. Am I really going to leave my child to them?"
I'm a Singaporean, and I'm utterly disappointed by these black sheep. I thought that as a first world country, we should be better than this.
Other than all the anger and frustration, it's also comforting to know that aside from black sheep, we also have people acting as a citizen from a first world country by showing kindness to others.
It put a smile on my face when I read an article of a family buying meals and going around the hospital to give them to the health workers along with some supportive notes.
Finally, this is just me ranting out my frustration, and it's not directed at any particular individual. But if you're someone profiteering from the virus or someone who discriminates against our brave health workers and finds this post offensive, too bad for you.

One thought on "The COVID-19: Where has humanity gone?"
phyrigia says:
they already found out how they used the condom. Apparently they used the condom on one finger to press button on lift. But i think it would be more make sense if they just have gloves on hand but guess pretty much that item also got hoarded fast.

· Social Media Marketing: More than three-quarters of adults between the ages of 30 and 49 use social media, according to the Pew Research Centre. Since this age range represents a significant portion of those in a household with purchasing power, small businesses should make sure they target their audience through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Post a visual of holiday deals or fun holiday products and invite the audience to share and comment. Businesses can even film short holiday-themed commercials and post them to their social profiles.
· Product Placement: Product placement is perfect for those without an extensive holiday campaign budget that are looking to gain airtime for their products. Businesses can contact production assistants or networks and explain why their product is the perfect fit for a time slot this holiday season. Product placement allows marketers to spend the money and effort displaying their products, while ensuring the chosen time slot or location reaches very important and influential demographics.
· Guerrilla Marketing: A tactic that is perhaps the most effective with reaching younger audiences is guerrilla marketing. It focuses on non-traditional methods for increasing brand awareness, using various brand ambassadors to interact one-on-one, in a very intimate manner. Using minimal resources, this tactic is proven to have a significant effect on driving sales, as well as growing brand awareness. In addition, the interactive nature of guerrilla marketing aids in building a brand experience by helping a community create a more lasting relationship with a product beyond the holiday season.
· Lifestyle Marketing: Small businesses that are a lifestyle brand should consider utilizing lifestyle marketing to reach their audience this holiday season. Lifestyle marketing utilizes word of mouth. Place products or messaging at locations where consumers frequent, such as hair and nail salons or popular lunch spots. These locations can carry a lot of influence with a local community and a product or flier visible in these locations will help grow brand awareness for small businesses during the holiday craze.
· Holiday Shows: Work the holiday shopping fair circuit. Metropolitan areas have hundreds of these shows each holiday season. Make use of these popular venues and rent a booth for your business. These fairs are great for exposing products to a large crowd at little expense to the business. Even for those that don't sell a lot of merchandise, these fairs are great networking tools for small businesses to grow awareness of their brands among the shopping community. When at a holiday show, make sure to spend time passing out business cards and talking up the products. | {

As there is no Temple in Mecca or in the Vatican City, Alike no Mosque is possible in Ayodhya too.
No mosque possible in Ayodhya: Yogi Adityanath
DC Correspondent | Lucknow | Feb 27, 2015:: BJP MP form Gorakhpur, Mahant Yogi Adityanath has ruled out the proposal for an out-of-court settlement with regard to the Ayodhya issue.
He said that just as there could not be a temple in Mecca or in the Vatican City, there was no possibility of a mosque in Ayodhya. He said that Ayodhya, the land of Sanatan Dharma, was a sacred city since it is the birthplace of Lord Ram.
Adityanath was responding to questions on the proposal for a dual shrine at the dispute site in Ayodhya. "Hashim Ansari (main litigant in the case) and Mahant Gyan Das (Akhara Parishad head) are making statements they should not be making.
They should first understand the sentiments of millions of Hindus before making such uncalled for statements," he said.
Mosque in Ayodhya like temple in Mecca: Yogi Adityanath

Priyangi Agarwal | TNN | Bareilly | Feb 25, 2015:: Reacting to the proposed out-of-court settlement of the disputed site at Ayodhya between Hashim Ansari, main litigant in the case, and Mahant Gyan Das, akhara parishad head, BJP MP from Gorakhpur Yogi Adityanath rubbished the suggestion of constructing both a mosque and a temple in the disputed site.
Speaking with reporters in Shahjahanpur, where he was attending a sant sammelan – meeting of ascetics — Adityanath said, "Just as a temple cannot come up in Mecca-Medina or Vatican City, Ayodhya cannot have a mosque." He said Ayodhya, the land of Sanatan Dharma, is a sacred city, the birthplace of Lord Ram.
"Hashim Ansari and Mahant Gyan Das are making statements they should not be making. If they want to construct both a temple and a mosque in Ayodhya, why have they proposed a high partition wall? They agree that there should be a 100-foot-high wall between the temple and mosque, when they should be concentrating on removing walls between the two."
He asserted that the Allahabad high court had approved that the disputed site was the birthplace of Lord Ram. In a verdict later stayed by the Supreme Court, the Allahabad high court had ruled in September 2010 that the nearly 70-acre disputed plot would be divided in three, with a third going to Ram Lalla, represented by the Hindu Mahasabha, a third to the Sunni Wakf Board and a third to the Nirmohi Akhara.
In May 2011, a bench of the Supreme Court stayed the HC ruling, observing that it was strange, as no party had sought a division of the site.
On Wednesday, Adityanath said, "When the high court approved that the disputed place is the birth place of Lord Ram, there should be preparation for constructing a grand temple of Lord Ram. The high court accepted that there was no mosque."
Main litigant in the matter, Hashim Ansari, on Monday had discussed with akhara parishad chief Mahant Gyan Das a proposal for the resolution of the Ayodhya dispute, out of court. The proposal reportedly was that the disputed premises would accommodate both a mosque and a temple, with a partition wall that was 100 feet high between the two.
Adityanath also defended the controversial remarks of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, who said that Mother Teresa's service to the poor was just a cover for conversion. Yogi Adityanath said Mother Teresa's group was still practicing conversion through aid for the poor. "What people associated with Mother Teresa do is 'sauda' (deal) – not 'seva' (service). It is a conversion campaign," Adityanath said.

Dirgha Raj Prasai
Ayodhya is the birth place of RAMA- but not the land of Muslim
About 950 years ago the Muslims invaded India. Their aim was to conquer, convert, destroy and loot. Due to their notorious attacking they were successful. At that time Muslims burned many Hindus- temples and erected mosques on top of the burned out temples and on other locations also. In the ruling time of Muslim in India, English imperialist-East India Company invaded India with Christianity. They came first as traders, secondly-Bible and third was sword where they were building their own military force, secretly, to take over India and they were getting help from Great Britain to do so, and they succeeded. The British bribed the military by paying salaries to fight for them, to control Muslims. Many Sikhs, Indians joined the British military and betrayed Hindus-(Bhagavaandaas Tyaagi)
Hindus have always opened their hearts to all faiths across the globe, protected them, sheltered them, nourished them, never abused them, never terrorized them, and only allowed them total freedom to practice their faith without demeaning them, terrorizing them, destroying their places of worship and forcing them to convert. If we want to know the historical facts of invade by Muslims and Christians we should understand the reality and its pre- historical accounts.
In 1520 the Muslim ruler Baber came, plundered, ruined, and demolished Rama Temple and built Babri Masjid using the demolished debris. The events of December 6, 1992Hindus attacked the Babri Masjid, they were only taking over their sacred place and thousands of history. No nation can afford to ignore the history. History of mankind has not started on 1528. Among the excavation yields ASI mentioned were stone and decorated bricks, mutilated sculpture of divine couple, carved architectural members including foliage patterns, amalaka, kapotapali, doorjamb with semi-circular shrine pilaster, broken octagonal shaft of black schist pillar, lotus motif, circular shrine having pranjala (watershute) in the north and 50 pillar bases in association with a huge structure. This should give some idea of the magnitude of the distortion involved in turning Babar into a tolerant person, let alone a prince charming. And when in a particularly happy mood, he composed the following dirge: 'For the sake of Islam I became a wanderer; I battled infidels and Hindus. I determined to become a martyr Thank God I became a holy warrior.' http://savetemples.org
Sudhir-Architect has posted- (in shirt) In 1528 A.D. Babar came to Ayodhya and he destroyed the ancient temple and on its site built a mosque, still
known as Babar's mosque. The materials of the old structure [i.e., the temple]
were largely employed, and many of the columns were in good preservation." Guru Nanak. He was a contemporary of Babar, and an eyewitness to his vandalism. Nanak condemned him in the strongest terms. The historian Harsh Narain in his book The Ayodhya Temple Mosque Dispute: Focus on Muslim Sources, writes: "Guru Nanak, according to Bhai Man Singh's Pothi Janam Sakhi, said to have been composed in 1787 Anno Vikrami/1730 A.D., visited Ayodhya and said to his Muslim disciple Mardana: 'Mardania! eh Ajudhia nagari Sri Ramachandraji ki hai. So,chal, iska darsan kari'e. Translation: 'Mardana! This Ayodhya city belongs to Sri Ramachandra Ji. So let us have its darsana.'"
This indicates that Nanak visited Ayodhya shortly before the destruction of the Rama temple by Babar. Another work by Baba Sukhbasi Ram gives a similar account, again suggesting that Nanak visited Ayodyha before the temple was destroyed by his contemporary, the Mughal invader Babar. Muslim sources also give a similar account.
After the destruction of Babar's mosque the excavation report said- 'These pits gave away two-thousand year old molded bricks and ornate stone pieces of different shapes and sizes.
The news item dishonored these facts. Beautiful stone pieces bearing carved Hindu ornamentations like lotus, Kaustubh jewel, alligator facade, etc., have been used in these walls. These decorated architectural pieces have been anchored with precision at varied places in the walls. A tiny portion of a stone slab is sticking out at a place below 20 feet in one of the pits. The rest of the slab lies covered in the wall. The projecting portion bears a five-letter Dev Nagari inscription that turns out to be a Hindu name. The items found below 20 feet should be at least 1,500 years old. According to archaeologists about a foot of loam layer gathers on topsoil every hundred years. Primary clay was not found even up to a depth of 30 feet. It provides the clue to the existence of some structure or the other at that place during the last 2,500 years. Please read- detail-http://www.hvk.org/specialarts/safa/safa.html
In 1992, we all Hindus in the world were disturbing about the confusion of Ram Janambhumi of Ayodhya, but at 30 Sep-2010, UP- High Court's verdict and the unambiguous decision that the Ram Janma Bhumi Mandir site is indeed the birth place of Lord Ram and indeed a Hindu temple has existed there from time immemorial.

Mr. Haktan Akdogan is worldly known pioneering Turkish UFO researchers and has been studying the subject past 34 years. He has also produced and hosted 52 episodes of a weekly documentary TV Program on UFOs titled UFO Reality which was shown in 3 different national TV Channels in Turkey.
The Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center, chaired by Mr. Akdogan, has been involved in intensive studies on the subject and initiated many National and International Conferences and workshops.
A HISTORIC STEP FOR UFOLOGY & EXOPOLITICS! We are proud to announce that courses on "Ufology/Exopolitics" given by our chairman Mr. Haktan Akdogan have been officially launched at Akdeniz University in 2017 (Antalya/Turkey), which is among the top public universities in Turkey.
Mr. Akdogan is also the founder of the First International UFO Museum of Europe, Balkans and Middle-East which opened in Istanbul, Turkey on January 17th 2002.
Haktan Akdogan is also the creator of the "World UFO Day" which suggests to make peaceful demonstrations and events worldwide on every 2nd of July to increase the public awareness about this important phenomenon, as well as to demand world governments to tell the people of the Earth "The Truth!" www.worldufoday.com.
Mr. Akdogan is also founder of the "World UFO Disclosure Campaign". This is a non-profit worldwide campaign with a primary aim to have the U.N . General Assembly hold open and secrecy-free hearings on the UFO/E.T. presence on Earth. Through the campaign we intend to collect the signatures of millions of enthusiasts, believers and activists in Ufology around the world, all asking in one single voice that the governments of the Nations stop their policy of secrecy over UFO's/E.T.'s and disclose the truth.
In order to inform the public about UFO reality, Mr. Haktan Akdogan has participated in more than 785 national and international TV programs and worldly news as a guest speaker, published numerous articles and has given many interviews both on TV, radios and national and international newspapers.
Mr. Haktan Akdogan will be speaking about the latest UFO sightings and close encounters by civilians, pilots and military personnel including many high ranked Generals of the Army in Turkey. He will also be discussing incredible daylight UFO footage clips, the abduction phenomenon in Turkey, the disclosure of UFO Reality in Turkey, and the importance of global "World UFO Disclosure" for the future of our planet and humanity as we move into mega Earth change. He is also proud to announce that an elective course on "Ufology/Exopolitics" has been officially launched at Akdeniz University (in Antalya, Turkey) which is among the top public universities in Turkey. This initiative represents a major breakthrough in the history of Ufology as the courses have been offered within the regular curriculum by a mainstream academic institution. The courses are being taught by Mr. Akdogan himself. | {

News Aerospace Defence & security Electronics & communications Medical & healthcare Policy & business
By System Administrator 27th June 2005 9:49 am 15th December 2015 7:13 pm
This week e2v Technologies confirmed its status as a major player in hi-tech electronic components and sub-systems when it passed £100m in group sales for the first time.
The company, which joined the Stock Exchange exactly a year ago, supplies niche markets within the medical, scientific, aerospace and defence sectors, as well as more general commercial and industrial customers.
According to its maiden annual results statement, one of the strongest areas for e2v was high performance imaging products for medical and science applications, where a sales increase of 23 per cent was recorded. Over the last three years the company has enjoyed a three-fold boost in this sector.
This growth has stemmed predominantly from the dental sector, with customers in the US and Europe requiring increased volumes of e2v's digital dental X-ray imaging device. This technology offers virtually real-time imaging, as well as lower radiation exposure than traditional filmbased systems.
There was also a further growth of 15 per cent on products supplied to instrument manufacturers servicing the needs of life science companies working on drug discovery, shareholders were told.
The robust performance in medical and science was mirrored in the space and astronomy sectors, where e2v benefited from involvement in a number of key European programmes. Following the conclusion of the development phase of ESA's GAIA star-mapping programme, e2v announced it has secured a e14.3m (£9.5m) contract for the first phase of the production element of the project.
Slated for launch in 2011, the European space telescope will make the largest ever map of the galaxy, and much of the key technology for the instruments is being developed by e2v. The company has created around 170 individual eight-megapixel devices which, when placed side by side, will form the biggest focal plane array ever built.
Sales of e2v's L3Vision device — primarily used for surveillance applications — reached over £1m this year, representing a ten-fold increase in sales from 2004.
Despite a predicted reduction in sales of the Argus fire-fighters' thermal imaging camera, which benefited last year from a strong UK government procurement programme, e2V's sensors product group sales grew by 9.1 per cent to £48.1m.
Keith Attwood, e2v chairman said: 'Our first full set of results as a listed company show that good progress has been made, despite the challenges of a weak US dollar. 'Our two businesses — sensors and electronic tubes — have developed in line with our expectations with our sensors business performing particularly strongly.'

Economic growth and social inclusion, critical issues for many countries, will be promoted by bringing the four-plus billion non-Internet users around the world online. The common view of this digital divide is that it separates the Internet 'haves' from the 'have-nots'; dividing those who are online from those who would like to get online, but are prevented based on the availability or affordability of access.
This binary view of the digital divide is fostered by a positive feedback loop – the 'haves' understandably assume everyone wants to join them, while those who face barriers in getting online understandably push for access. However, as shown in the first annual Internet Society Global Internet Report, there is an overlooked divide within the 'have-nots', between those who are interested to get online, and those who are not.
The graph below shows the population of each country, represented by a horizontal bar divided into three groups of citizens. First, the proportion of the population who are online, represented by the dark blue section on the left of each country's bar. Second, those not online who indicate in surveys that they do not have online access or cannot afford access, represented by the lighter blue section on the right. Finally, those not online who state that they are not interested in going online, represented by the lightest blue section in the middle of each bar.
As shown in the graph, in the countries surveyed, more non-Internet users indicate that they are not online because of a lack of interest, understanding or time, rather than the affordability or availability of access. This holds true even in countries towards the bottom such as Colombia, where the affordability (represented in the figure by the green dot indicating the subscription price as a proportion of average income) is highest of all the countries surveyed.
These results suggest a nuanced approach to the digital divide, one that focuses not just on providing affordable and universal access to the Internet, but also on increasing interest in the use of the resulting access. In fact, we have seen that as the infrastructure necessary for Internet access is becoming more available in developing countries, efforts to close the digital divide have increasingly focused on promoting local content to develop interest in using the Internet and drive uptake.
However, it is not enough to ensure that content is relevant – for starters, in the right language – but it must also be accessible. Most, if not all, developing countries have local content, however, it is often located in Europe or the United States where hosting services are less expensive. In an Internet Society paper released last week, we show that hosting content abroad not only makes it more expensive and slower to access that content, it discourages the creation of new content.
Policymakers must take a broad approach to bridge the digital divide – ensuring not just that affordable access is available, but also that there is demand that leads to adoption and usage. Only in this way will the full economic and social impact of the Internet be felt by all. | {

My eldest wanted a new bike at christmas, but it couldn't just be any bike. It had to be a BMX. The reason for that was that he wanted the "cool" badge at school by having one. He also wanted to be able to start doing stunts, and needed a bike that you can turn the handlebars right round in a 360 degree circle without any cables getting in the way.
I think it looks ridiculous to see those big lads on those teensy bikes, but that's what he wanted, and thanks to a sale in a toy shop, that's what he got. He is happy as larry, and enjoys spending time with his BMX.
What it also raises is the red flag of the peer pressure and how it affects our children when they are only really very young. Right from babies, on TV there are adverts aimed at them. Cereals, sweets, toys from October onwards, and there seems little we can do to shield them from it.
Even if we self consciously ban TV channels that carry the adverts, and keep them away from films and programmes that we don't approve of – they still ARE going to find out all about them in the most gory sense of the words, and without the benefit of censoring.
School playgrounds and parks are hotbeds of gossip, slander, and peer pressure. If you are at a non-uniform school and happen to wear the wrong trainers, the consequences can wound you past adulthood.
When my children were very young, I decided that I would not bow to peer pressure, and that my children would wear what I bought them and be done with it.
Several years on, I am glad that there are some discount sports shops and ways to get hold of sports gear and shoes at reasonable prices, or I would struggle to meet the demands that our children place on themselves, AND have placed upon them by others.
Yes, there is the argument that there are children worse off than ours, and that ours should be grateful for what they have. I have had a lot to do with disadvantaged children, and believe me, that argument won't hold water with your children, or stand up when they are being made a fool of by the children who "have".
Our children live in the socio economic circles of their peers (in most cases). They can no more understand the difficulties surrounding children who have little, than we can understand how our great great grandmothers cleaned and cooked and provided for families of 14 children or more in two rooms.
What we can do, is try to keep it within reason, and not try to keep up with the children who will always have everything. Most of those children who get everything will never appreciate the value of their money, or the ability to manage a budget (you know the ones, with every new product going, and a new toy nearly every day).
I have accepted that my children can not match many of those children, but I provide for some of the things that they "need" to be accepted when it fits my budget. The right trainers are do-able at the discount sports shops, as are some football kits. I buy the football boots in the sales and stock up on the next sizes. I don't go overboard, and if my kids had their way, they would have every game console and game that is on the market (and believe me some of their friends do have that).
There are times that we have to accept the peer pressure, and work within it to give our children the self-esteem that they need to live among their peers, but also be responsible enough not to let them be the pampered brats that grow up respecting nobody.
It's a fine line between showing off and being practical. Sadly, it is the children who always end up at the end of it, suffering at either end of the scale. The middle ground to me, has to be the right place to be.

The key is to make your children unyielding to peer pressure, by making them value their individuality and to feel comfortable being different to the crowd sometimes.
If they want something because they like it, it fits them well, it suits them, it's comfortable etc then that is a different story, but they need to be taught that to want something just because someone else has it or because their peer group dictate that they must have it to fit in, is just weakness and a lack of individuality.
We live by the maxim, "You were born unique, don't allow yourself to become a copy".
Believe it or not you do find that children who are intrinsically different to their peers find it much easier to resist peer pressure. Simply because they have a difference which can not be altered and which has not prevented them from being accepted into a social circle. For example children of a skin colour or religion different to the majority or all of their peer group.
Kids need to be taught that being different can be cool. It's possible and it can work… this ethos saved me a fortune when my now 18 year old daughter was growing up and she had lots of friends, was extremely popular, but never afraid to be different.
A great post. I hate peer pressure too and also try and strive for a middle position trying to help my children to feel included but not spoiling them. I also want my kids not expect things to be given to them on a plate and to learn that things have to be worked for. I am really shocked at how much money is spent on some children; they seem to have every gadget and fashion item going as well as holidays abroad. Its this excessive pampering that puts pressure on everyone else. Aagh.
I struggle to a accept what some people are spending without thinking of the future effects.
You make a very good point. Something I find sad is the way schools have suddenly invented a particular PE kit that you have to have and it doesn't matter whether or not you can afford it. I was gobsmacked last year when they decided to change the colours from blue shorts to black and I sent Amy with the blue shorts, which fit her perfectly. However, I got a letter home saying I needed to buy Amy black shorts because she was feeling left out.
That angers me. It isn't just peer pressure but it's coming from all angles, I'm afraid. | {

Good Ol' Freda producer shares behind-the-scenes insights on Beatles Fan Club secretary
Freda Kelly and Paul McCartney; courtesy Freda Kelly
Daytrippin' recently interviewed film producer, Kathy McCabe, to learn more about the new film, Good Ol' Freda, and its star, Beatles fan club secretary and confidante, Freda Kelly. The film is being released in theaters, on iTunes and VOD this Friday, September 6.
The documentary sheds light on what it was like to be a Beatles fan when The Fab Four played at The Cavern Club in the early '60s when Freda Kelly first met The Beatles. Kelly says she saw The Beatles play 190 out of the 292 times they performed at The Cavern. Kelly expressed her dedication to the group by running their fan club before Brian Epstein was in the picture. Once Brian signed The Beatles, he asked Freda to be his secretary and her life changed forever. The film follows Freda on her journey working for NEMS during the day and still fulfilling her Beatles fan club duties at night, all the while maintaining a loyal friendship with John, Paul, George, Ringo and their families. The film captures the warm heart of Freda showing why The Beatles trusted her all those years ago.
1) How did you come up with the idea for Good Ol' Freda? Are you and the other producers Beatles fans, or was it more about telling a compelling story?
Oh yes! I am a huge Beatles fan and was lucky to see them play live twice. Our director and other producers are big Beatles fans too so it's been a real honor to make this film and preserve some of their history. In 1964, when I was 16 years old, I asked for my name to be put on the pen pal page of the Beatles Monthly Magazine in which Freda wrote a Beatles Fan Club column. It turned out that the sister of the person who picked me as his pen pal worked for Freda at the Beatles Fan Club and her husband was Billy Kinsley of The Merseybeats who appears in the film and played on the same bill as The Beatles many times. It was through Billy that I became friends with Freda. Although we saw each other at parties and concerts, we never talked about The Beatles. She was so private about her years with The Beatles and I had been warned not to bug her with questions!!
About 5 years ago though at a family wedding, she told me a few stories that blew me away. I encouraged her to do some private talks at my house in Baltimore Maryland to see how fans liked her 'little tales.' Well, a talk that was supposed to be one hour lasted four! These talks gave her confidence to accept an invitation to appear at the Fest for Beatles fans and the reaction of fans there was phenomenal. One standing ovation after another! You can't fool Beatles fans and they knew Freda was the real thing. Not long after that Ryan White, with whom I'd worked earlier on a film called 'Pelada,' became free unexpectedly and 'the penny dropped' as Freda says. Ryan, Freda, and I began talking about doing a documentary and in August 2011 we started filming! It became obvious to us right away that this was not going to be a tell-all or a film about The Beatles. Freda's stories and her own life were so compelling that we knew the film would center on her.
2) Did you approach Freda Kelly or did she approach you? Did she have any hesitation in telling her story after all these years?
We kind of mutually approached each other and we were very blessed that she had reached a time in her life where she felt comfortable telling her 'little stories.' The big catalyst was the birth of her grandson, Niall. Although she was hesitant, she knew deep down she wanted Niall to understand what she had done in her youth so he would be proud of her. She says in the film she didn't want him to look over at her in her chair with a cat on her lap and think 'oh she's never done anything.' She'd had many offers over the years to tell her stories but turned them all down. Doing this film was a big leap of faith for her but I think she felt comfortable because she'd known us for a long time so there was trust. She says in the film that if she hadn't have done this now she knows she would never have done it. If she hadn't, all those never-heard-before, true stories would have been lost. So we're very grateful she decided to do the documentary with us.
3) There's a nice message from Ringo at the end of the film. Have you spoken to Paul McCartney about the film and what was his reaction?

Yes, isn't it a lovely message from Ringo? Obviously from the heart! Sadly, Freda lost her own mother when she was 18 months old. She was so close to Ringo's Mum Elsie that she considered her a mother figure and her children called her Nanny Else. We're so thankful to Ringo for recording this message.
Paul knows about the film and gave it his hearty approval. Freda was also very close with Paul's father who she called Uncle Jim. We worked with Paul's office to get a message but despite great efforts on both parts the scheduling didn't come together.
4) I see that you got the rights to four Beatles songs to use in the film (Love Me Do, I Saw Her Standing There, I Feel Fine and I Will). How hard were the negotiations for that?
We were delighted to be granted very rare permission to license four Beatles songs as well as the funny music on the very first Beatles Fan Club Christmas Record. That is a true testament of the esteem The Beatles hold for Freda and her devotion to them and their families. We are very proud to have these songs in our film and every time I hear them while watching the film I get goosebumps. The negotiations were long and involved and we received approval just six weeks before our world premiere! One good thing about having Beatles music in your film, it sure helps pave the way for the rest of the soundtrack. We've got a killer soundtrack with not only The Beatles but also Buddy Holly, Little Richard, The Marvelettes, The Isley Brothers, Little Richard and Carl Perkins among others. We picked songs that the Beatles loved and had covered in their early days.
5) How did the Kickstarter campaign help your film? Would you have been able to complete it without Kickstarter?
We couldn't have made this film without the generosity of our nearly 700 Kickstarter backers. We had to meet our goal of $50,000 or we wouldn't have been able to start the film much less complete it. We had an amazing Kickstarter team….a group of friends who worked together for 30 days across all time zones to ensure we met our goal. It was a team effort and Beatles fans came out of the woodwork to help us. We'll have DVDs in December to send to all our backers. They'll be the first ones to actually get the DVDs in their hands. We're working hard on DVD extras right now too so there will be some extra goodies on it!
6) What has the reaction been from people who have seen the film? Do you think this film will appeal to non-Beatles fans?

The reaction has been amazing! Audiences are touched deeply by the way she has conducted her life and Freda's personal character, integrity, and loyalty to The Beatles themselves, their families and fans. They love it that she was a fan herself and very protective of The Beatles. They love her modesty and honesty, that she never sought attention or the limelight, and never sold out despite so many offers to do so. They understand the great lengths she went to to keep fans happy whether it was collecting hair on the floor after the barber cut their hair or getting Ringo to sleep on a pillowcase so she could send it back to the fan. The personal attention she gave was amazing….there's nothing like it now. As she says in the film 'no one took these girls seriously but I did because I was one of them.'
Audiences get emotional when they watch the film We've seen grown men cry during it! They're touched that she gave away all the leftover Beatles memorabilia to fans rather than selling it for millions for herself. She's still a working secretary after 50 years. Still modest, still shy, still private….people really 'get' what she's all about and in today's world of 15 minutes of fame, her story really grabs audiences whether they are Beatles fans or not. Freda's stories are all new and all true and this film presents The Beatles from an angle other films have not…so yes it's appealing to a wide range of audiences.
7) As a documentary filmmaker, do you have any more music-related films in the works?
Good Ol' Freda is still a full-time job for me!! So I'll be focusing on this film for the next year or so.
8) Is Freda Kelly happy with the way the film turned out? What does she wish for fans to take away from watching the movie?
She's very happy with it….and she's even more happy we've finished making it!! She's enjoying meeting fans on the film festival circuit and is astonished that people are interested in her 'little tales' as she calls them. Freda wanted to convey to Beatles fans that 'the lads' as she calls them were human beings….not gods. So she wanted to humanize them and the experience they went through. She wanted fans to know what it was like for The Beatles and their families in the early days when things were fun and the Beatlemania craziness hadn't started yet. They were just regular guys from Liverpool who became famous beyond their dreams. But best of all Niall will now know what his grandmother did in her youth!
Note: Kathy explained if the movie is not playing in a theater near you, you should call your independent theaters and request it to be screened. The theaters will get in touch with Magnolia Pictures to set up screenings.

The $10 million donation was presented by Emilie Roy Corey, who is the chair of the Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation's board of directors, and her husband Michael. The funds will help improve access to the East End hospital's primary and critical care services.
"We are greatly touched by the compassionate care and outstanding treatment offered by the wonderful medical professionals associated with the hospital, as well as with the dedication of the hospital's leadership to building a world-class medical institution," Corey said in a statement. "This gift will ensure that the groundbreaking care, resources and treatment which the hospital has earned a reputation for providing will continue both now and into the future."
The Coreys are also the founding supporters of Pegasus House Palliative Care at Peconic Bay.
"Emilie and Michael Corey are wonderful supporters of Peconic Bay Medical Center and have played a critical role in the hospital through the years," said Sherry Patterson, chair of the hospital's board of directors. "Our efforts to bring world-class patient care to all the residents of the East End are made possible through the philanthropy of our generous donors, such as the Coreys."
Peconic Bay Medical Center joined Northwell Health in 2016.

Why Trump is Doubling Down on the Voter Fraud Fraud
by Thomas L. Knapp…….
"In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide," US president-elect Donald Trump tweeted in late November, "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." Kind of a sore winner. And now that he's no longer just president-elect but actually president, he's doubling down and says he "will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD …"
That's dumb. And dangerous.
Dumb because voter fraud is almost non-existent. There are rare cases in which individuals will try to vote illegally. Former Republican congressman Todd Akin of Missouri, for example, who got caught voting at his old polling place after moving, presumably to hide the move from his constituents and opponents. But the key word is "rare."
Voter fraud is not a strategy used by candidates and campaigns to move the needle on election results. Why? Because it's just about the most expensive, burdensome, unreliable and risky way imaginable to do that. A successful voter fraud operation on any scale would require rounding up a whole bunch of people, trusting those people to cast the votes desired instead of just voting however they wanted to vote, and risking any or all of them getting caught (or sprouting a conscience) and blowing the operation. Too many co-conspirators and too many ways for things to go south fast and hard.
If we remove the letter "r" from the end of "voter," things make more sense. Yes, elections are sometimes rigged. But they're not rigged the hard way, by impersonating voters.
In some cases they're rigged at the level of counting votes. Why recruit millions of voters as co-conspirators when a few key election workers (or voting machine programmers) are easier to find, probably more reliable, and far less vulnerable to detection?
In other cases they're rigged by suppressing the other party's turnout through fraud (for example, robocalls giving the wrong election date or mailings of fake absentee ballots with the wrong return address) or by law.
Which brings us to the danger of the "investigation" Trump is calling for: Its real purpose isn't to uncover the truth, but rather to build support for "voter identification" laws.
Some, including me, have described these attempts to impose new and more onerous government identification schemes in the name of "fighting voter fraud" as a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, but that's not really accurate. It's a solution to a problem. Not the problem of ineligible voters. The problem of eligible voters who don't vote Republican.
Instead of this fake "investigation," wouldn't it be cheaper, and more honest, to just put a beige sign outside every polling place? As in: "You must be this pale to vote."

mvlazysusan says:
The historia some have about an investigation is because they have been the benefactor of the vote fraud that they know was taking place.
Here is a You Tube vid that lists about 15 Main Streem Medea articles documenting the massive extent of vote fraud:
>"" Greg Hunter-Weekly News Wrap-Up 1.27.17
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTNtyouzUI0 [29:10] (Only the first half is on the vote fraud)
The Government has no more important job that to insure our elections are fare and honest. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING else is second to that.
Trump hired an ex-Election Commissioner to do a private investigation, and that guy knows what he's doing. His report was that between 3 to 5 Million illegal (criminal) aliens voted in this past Presidential election. On top of that were many dead people voting, people being bussed to several locations to vote, And that's not counting the fraud that is our electronic voting created expresly to fabricat a rigged vote and you can read all about that here: http://blackboxvoting.org/
For decades the American people have been voting to keep American taxpayer money inside America, and the fraudulent voting system has been telling us we voted to give money to both the israelis and the Palestinians. It's time for all that to stop.
keysmiata says:
Trump thinks the Federal fiscal bank is full like his bank accounts which are growing daily, by the way because he threw ethics down the drain. This investigation is a total waste of taxpayer money – and frankly, is the responsibility of each state. Right now, the Justice Dept. are pulling their hair because they investigate crimes, and no one has any evidence that any crime was committed – i.e., fraudelent voting, especially by the millions. The man did not win the popular vote, and his orange face is turning red because he's so angry. When the Donald gets angry, he's a loses his composure, bigly.
JIMINKEYWEST says:
Him having it investigated only helps with future elections and will not help him in any way as he already has won.
If , and we do have fraud then it needs investigated regardless of cost.
What is the big deal if his face turns red when he is upset ? Mine and many others do the same.
Look back a few months to Mr Dean voting in Key West where he does not live and was plenty of proof. Likely plenty of fraud in Key West based on the idiots that .
I hope he cleans up america.
Ben Volpian says:
It has been reported that the vote fraud investigation will at least initially be concentrated to 2 states – which are probably California and New York. There has already been a mention that 800,000 illegal votes from the last election have been uncovered, but I am not taking that for fact until I hear it.
Even former President, Barack Obama, insinuated publicly on video that there has been voter fraud in his home town of Chicago.
I am asked for my photo I.D. by poll workers, and don't see why everyone else in America should not have to produce a photo I.D. to vote. Some complained that they couldn't get out to get a photo I.D. in time to vote, even those who have had decades to do so. That doesn't add up for me.
Thomas L. Knapp says:
Ben,
Somehow America managed to hold elections for more than 100 years before there was even any such thing as photo ID, and ever since without requiring it.
Thomas,
In 1947 the population of the United States was around 145 million, and now it is 325 million. Included in these additional people are millions of illegal immigrants of whom a certain amount might be voting illegally, and could possibly be in numbers that are so high that it has become increasingly harder to keep track of them as to whether or not they are voting.
People have different opinions, but I don't see why anyone would object to having a photo I.D. and matching signature to vote in a free election in America…unless they have something to hide.
There aren't "millions of illegal immigrants." Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution forbids the federal government to regulate immigration. That could have been amended any time after 1808, but never was.
"Conservatives" used to oppose government ID schemes (and support open borders).
Thomas, I enjoy your articles even though I don't always agree, but bottom line:
You have to be an American citizen to vote.
Many people who aren't American citizens have photo ID which doesn't mention whether or not they're American citizens. Requiring a photo ID wouldn't prevent non-citizens from voting. It would just make it more difficult for low income citizens to vote. That, as with other Republican voter suppression projects, is its purpose.
Thomas, According to what I heard, the Executive Branch and government HAS THE RIGHT to regulate who enters the United States. Please double check your statement.
And as far as low income folks go, I have no idea why they would be impacted by requiring a photo I.D. to vote. For instance, if they started now they would have almost 4 years to get ready for the next presidential election.
Governments don't have rights, they have powers. Those powers are specifically enumerated in the US Constitution. If they're not there, they're not legit (see the 10th Amendment).
There is no federal power to regulate immigration enumerated in the Constitution. Not only is there no such power, but the exercise of such a power is SPECIFICALLY FORBIDDEN in Article 1, Section 9. It was considered so important that Article 5 forbade amending that section prior to 1808. There was a reason for this. It was a compromise to get the southern states (slave importation) and Pennsylvania (immigrant labor) to ratify the Constitution.
AFTER 1808, it was never amended, and Congress abided by that prohibition until 1882 (an activist US Supreme Court fantasized up such a power in 1875, but Congress distrusted that ruling and hung its first immigration law, the Anti-Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, on treaty provisions rather than the ruling).
Even for 70 years after that, Congress was pretty cautious in exercising the unconstitutional power. You didn't even need a passport to enter or leave the United States until after World War II. The idiotic, unconstitutional and anti-American notion that immigration should be heavily regulated by the federal government didn't become policy until the 1950s with "Operation Wetback" and so forth.
That does not mean fraud was involved. Only means we had elections.

How untrue that statement would be today. Back when it was said - the late 1940's - things were a bit different. No, that's not right. Things were very different.
"WORKING MAN" DOES NOT LIKE LAGER BEER!
MR. O. J. GARDENER manager of Taylor Walker's, Ltd., is not disturbed at lhe Government's decision to import unlimited quantities of beer from the Continent. "Lager beer," he says, "is not very popular commodity, and British brewed beer can hold her own against any foreign brews. They can't import much because it won't sell. The working man won't look it."
Mr. Gardener said that his depot sells en on average about one quarter of barrel of lager to 150 barrels of ordinary draught beer.
A representative of Gray and Son, Brewers, Springfield Road, said "We are not worried the least. We still produce plenty of beer."
The Brewers Society intend to make representations to Parliament, protesting that the scheme would place British brewers at a disadvantage as foreign lagers would almost certainly be of greater gravity."
Essex Newsman - Friday 07 March 1947, page 1.
A quarter barrel of Lager to 150 of Ale means, for Taylor Walker at least, Lager was just 0.17% of sales. Next to nothing.
Brewers were worried because they were restrictions on the strength of beer they were allowed to brew. But their fear of stronger beer foreign beer was not realised. Mainly because a maximum gravity was imposed. At 1036º, it was about the same as the average for beer brewed in the UK.

I learned a great deal, particularly about getting grind lines to match up.
My only gripe was that the sound quality left a bit to be desired, since I have some hearing loss. The captions did make up for that though.
I was going to rent it on Smartflix btw but the wait was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. Popular video it seems. Anyway I broke down and pulled the trigger. Now I plan to watch it again and take notes.
Thank you, Syn. The sound typically is not poor at all on the DVD?s that I?ve seen, you might ask the seller to review it and possibly send you another one. Thanks for the good report, however and best wishes in your knifemaking endeavors. Some love the guitar music, while some have had their wives say, ?Turn the sound off!? | {

Easy Cocktails: Your Go To List2018-08-292021-09-01https://thecocktailboxco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/the-cocktail-box-co-dark-logo.pngThe Cocktail Box Cohttps://thecocktailboxco.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/easy-cocktails-e1541751770885.jpg200px200px
Whether you're a seasoned cocktail vet or a newbie exploring the world of libations, you've probably heard of at least one of the cocktails on our list of Top 4 Easy Cocktails. The best thing about these classic cocktails are how they look classy and sophisticated, yet are very easy to make. So, need a fancy cocktail to impress your friends or coworkers during the next get together?
Fret not, my friend. After you read this list of the Top 4 Easy Cocktails and learn not only how to make these drinks, but also the history behind them, everyone will think you're a cocktail master.
Top 4 Easy Cocktails
1) Moscow Mule
The story of the Moscow Mule begins on a humble farm in Moscow, Russia. At the time, mule farmers in Russia had no source of alcohol and had to be creative to get smashed.
Nah, that's not true; the Moscow Mule wasn't even invented in Russia. Instead, it was invented in Manhattan, New York in the 1940s. Although the exact inventor is debated, the drink came from Manhattan's Chatham Bar as bartenders wanted to clear their basement of all the unused vodka and ginger beer, which are the two main ingredients of the drink. In this moment of ingenuity and desperation, the Moscow Mule was born, and it is always served in its iconic copper mug, that's the way I got it even in remote Thailand, where I was spending vacations in a villa. Some claim that the original person who imported the mugs was a Russian immigrant, which explains the connection to Moscow. Once the drink landed into the hands of a few influential individuals, its popularity skyrocketed, ensuring its place on this list.
Can you mix a few liquids together over ice? Great, then you can follow this easy Moscow Mule recipe from Allrecipes.com:'
1.5 ounces of vodka.
0.5 ounce lime juice.
0.5 cup ginger beer.
Ice cubes.
Copper Mug.
Lime Wedge (Garnish).
Combine all liquids into a copper mug filled with ice. Stir to combine.
Garnish with lime wedge.
2) Gin & Tonic
If an image of a British man comes to your mind when you think of gin, then you're on the right track as the history of Gin and Tonic lies heavily within the history of the British Empire.
In 1857, the British had taken over India, and gin was already one of the most popular drinks for British gentlemen at that time. As more Brits began to immigrate or visit India, the newest British colony, they began to struggle with malaria and scurvy. Fortunately, Brits at the time had tonic water as a cure as it was infused with quinine, an extract that helped stop fever and chills. However, tonic water at the time was an awful tasting beverage that had people retching from the taste.
What's the solution? Add in alcohol and sugar, of course! The Brits started adding gin, sugar, citrus, and ice to the tonic water and the gin and tonic was born! So the next time somebody sees you drinking a gin and tonic, tell them that you're just fighting against malaria.
Thirsty? Then try this Gin and Tonic recipe from Allrecipes.com:
2 ounces gin.
4 ounces tonic water.
1 tablespoon of lime juice.
1 lime wedge.
Pour all liquids over the ice cube. Stir to combine.
3) Old Fashioned
This drink was long forgotten before Don Draper and the rest of the Mad Men TV show brought it back in style. The show represented an era when most men went to work in suits and drinking at work as an everyday occurrence. Often on Mad Men, audiences saw Don Draper and his coworkers sipping on Old Fashioned while they tried to think of their next advertising campaign.
Loyal to its name, the Old Fashioned is a drink that has been around for a very long time. It is believed that the drink was created around 1881 at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky. The hallmark of the drink is its simplicity as it only involves muddling sugar with bitters and mixing that with whisky or bourbon, see mote at cool gadgets site. The drink was popular when it came out, but it eventually faded into the background as other more exciting drinks were invented.
Yet, when AMC released the widely popular TV show Mad Men, the drink's popularity skyrocketed. Although the show has been off the air for a few years, the Old Fashioned is still one of the most popular yet easiest cocktails around.
Honour a classic and try our recipe for an Old Fashioned:
2 ounces bourbon whisky.
Half teaspoon of water.
Cane sugar.
Dried Orange Zest.
Aromatic Bitters.
Orange or Grapefruit Bitters
Place a sugar cube in a glass. Add 3–4 dashes of Aromatic
Bitters, 3–4 dashes of Orange Bitters or Grapefruit Bitters
and add water.
Using a muddler, crush the sugar
until mostly dissolved.
Drop the orange peel in the drink and muddle it to release
the oils.
Place ice cubes (or one large cube) in the glass and stir 20
times clockwise and counterclockwise. Add the bourbon
and stir 20 times each way.
Place glass on your linen coaster and wait for 2 minutes
for the flavors to be released. Stir once more and enjoy.
4) Champagne Cocktail
Another classic and easy cocktail is the champagne cocktail (or the sparkling wine cocktail if you're too cheap to buy champagne). Since this is a classic cocktail that has existed since the mid 1800s, its history is muddled. Its appearance is first recorded in writings by Robert Tomes that were published in 1855. While this may be the first recorded account of the champagne cocktail, Tomes's words suggested that the drink was made far before his writing's publication.
The champagne cocktail appears in many early cocktail books, which only speaks to its popularity seo one click. While there are many different variations to this cocktail, the champagne cocktail must always be served in a champagne flute. Why? Because it looks a hell of a lot better than drinking a champagne cocktail out of a tumbler or mug.
Follow our own champagne cocktail recipe and embrace the class:
6 ounces champagne or sparkling wine.
Lemon or Lavender Bitters.
Dried Lemon Zest.
Place one sugar cube and one piece of lemon zest at the
bottom of the glass. Add 3-4 dashes of Aromatic Bitters,
3-4 dashes of Lemon Bitters or Lavender Bitters to soak
sugar cube and zest.
Slowly top a champagne flute or wine glass with
champagne or sparkling wine.
Once bubbling has subsided, stir 5 times clockwise and
counterclockwise.
Alright, after reading this list of the Top 4 Easy Cocktails, you have no excuse to not put this information to use. Grab some clean glasses, always make sure to have ice on hand, and stay thirsty.

Mirrorless camera pwede pang selfie kasi nababaliktad ang screen. Hindi ko na po nagagamit kasi busy na sa work at wala na time gumala kaya ibebenta ko nalang kaysa nakatambak lang. You can text me for faster transaction.
Good condition, barely used. Price is negotiable. Inclusions: Battery Lens Strap Charger Charger cord Camera bag RFS: need cash.
Canon EOS M10 Body Only Inclusions: - Complete Set (Same as brand new, except the kit lens) Extras: - 3 Extra Batteries (Total of 4) - Durapro Dual Charging Dock (Pwede sa powerbank icharge) - USB Cable and Strap Unused. - No issues for the camera. - Slight peeling of rubber only. Refer to pics.
Selling my pre loved Canon Powershot SX620. I used this for blogging purpose for a while. Perfect condition. No scratches no issues. Perfect for travel vlogging and travel writing. RFS: Not blogging anymore so not using much. | {

A few weeks ago my wife and I headed to the city of Boryeong, South Korea for it's internationally renown mud festival, an event celebrating the fine qualities of the local mud (clay). Needless to say, it was a bit different than some of the more tame festivals we've attended while in Korea. We arrived to a largely foreign crowd (ie: not Koreans) who were partying like they never left Cancun that one fateful summer. I'll spare my thoughts on representing your home country with dignity while overseas, but as a whole, it really was a blast and I had the chance to meet and photograph some really great people. You can find the gallery by clicking here. | {

If you would like to learn more about different aspects of microdwelling & sustainability, read on below.
Otherwise, check out our events & we look forward to seeing you soon!
I'm a writer and community organizer who's happily downsized to live in a 220-square-foot microstudio in Eugene. (More at my blog, www.RedefiningHome.org.)
I edited Sightline Institute's "Unlocking Home: Three Keys to Affordable Communities," a 2012 e-book that argued for (among other things) the return of the rooming house and the easing of restrictions on ADUs: https://www.sightline.org/research_item/unlocking-home (https://www.sightline.org/research_item/unlocking-home/). It's a great, short read that explains some reasons why small, affordable living spaces are hard to find these days, although they were once a common part of the fabric of American life.
ADUs (accessory dwelling units)
Encouraged in Springfield; currently discouraged in Eugene, so that only one person built one in 2018. We and other groups are working to change that.
--Two free guides from AARP: https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/housing/info-2019/accessory-dwelling-units-adus.html
--Portlander Kol Peterson's blog & guide to building an ADU: http://pdxadu.blogspot.com
--AccessoryDwellings.org: A website compiled by Portland experts that's a one-stop source about ADUs, multigenerational homes, laneway houses, granny flats, and in-law units: https://accessorydwellings.org (https://accessorydwellings.org/2019/07/08/adu-legislative-initiatives-history-in-the-making)
Individually owned homes with extensive shared common spaces; residents usually eat dinner together at least once a week, with residents taking turns as cooks.
--Description & lots of history: http://www.cohousingco.com/blog/2019/7/18/the-best-of-both-worlds-the-promise-of-cohousing
--Directory of US cohousing communities: https://www.cohousing.org/business-directory-2/wpbdp_category/comm
Coliving
The modern term for the age-old practice of multiple adult renters sharing a dwelling.
Many cities in the US and especially Europe & elsewhere have multiple coliving communities managed by different companies such as Common, Ollie, Starcity, Bungalow, and OpenDoor. A database of options worldwide is at http://www.coliving.com .
The agenda for the last international co-living conference sketches the scope and concerns of the coliving movement/industry: https://medium.com/coliv/co-liv-summit-2018-paris-a5dc7a5b80eb . We hear the next such conference will be in June 2020 in Paris.
Ecovillage: an intentional community organized around ecology and sustainability. Inspirational talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmWa3mFKM84
Intentional community: a community organized around common values/vision; http://www.ic.org has a directory; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBA19OeNMIo has inspiration
Missing Middle housing: more-affordable types such as ADUs, duplexes, triplexes, and cottage clusters; term coined by Daniel Parolek in 2010 (https://opticosdesign.com/missing-middle-housing (https://opticosdesign.com/missing-middle-housing/)). Currently illegal in many neighborhoods in America. (About 70-80% of land is currently zoned to allow only single-family homes.) In many areas, movement is under way to relax or eliminate regulations against this housing; this year the Oregon Legislature mandated that all larger cities and towns do so.
Microhousing: in the US, commonly 160-350 square feet

Downsizing (resources and inspiration)
"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." --William Morris
Benefits of downsizing include a fresh start, less cleaning, more time and energy for your true priorities, more money, less stuff, and helping to save the planet.

Upcoming events (5+)
Tour of CSS Safe Spot (Conestoga hut) communities
Tue, Jan 21, 2:00 PM
Community Supported Shelters
Community Supported Shelters (CSS) is a nonprofit that builds inexpensive Conestoga huts (64 square feet). Some are hosted on the grounds of churches, nonprofits, and a few residences. Others are clustered together in Safe Spots. Every few months, they offer a tour that begins at their west Eugene warehouse, where they make the huts, and then visits a Safe Spot community. Transportation is provided, but please RSVP so they know how many folks to expect. Several of us took the tour in October + warmly recommend it. CSS has devised a simple, inexpensive way to provide basic shelter to our neighbors, and has worked patiently with City staff and Council, neighborhoods, and churches to get huts placed throughout the city. (They are always looking for volunteers to help at the Safe Spot communities and/or to help build more huts!) CSS requests a "$10 and up sliding-scale donation" for its tour to help fund its work. Call the office at[masked] or email [masked] to RSVP and find out where the tour begins. Website: communitysupportedshelters.org BACKGROUND CSS calls the huts "micro-housing solutions for those in need" and "pre-housing shelter services." They say: "The growing houseless population can be a challenge which brings us all together to make a difference and create a highly efficient, solution-based program supported by the whole community." Video (13 mins) with founder Erik de Buhr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=GfuTh8wDvvo Videos of a Safe Spot Community (city-sanctioned cluster of huts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WCr6B9oJVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xqpAvbsSok _____________________ More MicroDwellers: You can now follow us (@microdwellers) on Instagram and Facebook, and Sherri blogs at RedefiningHome.org.
Our talk for Neighb. Leaders Council HHC (8 Ways to Create Lower-Cost Housing)
Thu, Jan 23, 12:00 PM
Mcnail-Riley House
We are honored to be presenting about MicroDwellers activities and ideas at the January gathering of the Housing + Homelessness Committee of the Eugene Neighborhood Leaders Council. There may also be a short presentation by Western Shelters. First we will have the group spend 5 minutes taking the 10-question Eugene Housing Literacy Test. You can take it now at: bit.ly/housing-test. We developed this test as an awareness builder and conversation starter for longtime homeowners, who may not be in touch with the housing market in Eugene today Then we will share our knowledge about some low-cost Eugene-style ways of creating housing that we have seen on our tour. We will focus on housing types that would be affordable to the median Eugene renter household -- renting for $650/month or less. (See below for work in progress.) If you can free up an hour at noon on a workday, please join us! Consider regular attendance too (every fourth Thursday of the month). These gatherings are open to all, very welcoming + offer great educational presentations + networking for people concerned about these issues. (You dont have to be involved with your neighborhood association [NA] to attend ... although maybe you should be. We need pro-housing voices on all NAs!) LTD bus: 33 (to the door), 78 (not as close) LTD Trip Planner: ltd.org _____________________ WE WILL MAKE THIS A HANDOUT FOR EVERYONE :) 1.

12/29: Unidentified victim (Ella T. Grasso Boulevard)
In 2020, 12 people were struck and killed by cars on New Haven streets. A 13th victim, a New Haven resident, was struck right outside of city limits, while a 14th unidentified individual died on Dec. 29. The victims included a crossing guard, a baker and a law student — lifelong residents and recent additions to the community alike.
Though some credit the pandemic with decreasing road usage and increasingly hazardous driving, nearly half of this year's pedestrian and cyclist deaths occurred before New Haven implemented shutdowns in March. Traffic fatalities in Connecticut, and in the nation at large, have been rising for several years. New Haven has continued to lead the state in total driver, pedestrian and cyclist fatalities, with the New Haven Register reporting 11 deaths in 2019 and 18 the year before.
The continual rise of traffic collisions and fatalities may come as a surprise, especially in New Haven. After all, the city's 2008 Complete Streets Ordinance and accompanying Complete Streets Design Manual, which promised to facilitate community participation in the city's street redesign processes, was one of the first of its kind in the nation and lauded as particularly forward-thinking after its 2010 adoption. The protocol was even used as a model by the state's Department of Transportation.
Today, however, the ordinance's ultimate goal of making New Haven a Vision Zero city, or one free of traffic fatalities, seems further from reality than ever — residents' frustrations with the city's apparent lack of action have steadily increased over the years. Such vexations burst into the open at a mayor's event at East Rock Park last month. The Safe Streets Coalition of New Haven, an advocacy group formed in 2019 following a decade of traffic safety efforts, handed a list of demands to Mayor Elicker, including a call to recommit the city to Vision Zero. The group requested a "radical overhaul" of the city's most dangerous streets, a citywide greenway network, greater transparency in bureaucratic processes and more local control of traffic decisions. Elicker, a former cyclist safety advocate himself, promised to consider their demands. Meanwhile, the Safe Streets Coalition and other advocates continue to drive local discussion in the New Haven community during the pandemic, creating memorials and organizing events to raise awareness and cooperation.
Nevertheless, the question remains: Why have traffic fatalities become so prevalent in a city that, on paper, is committed to ending them? The challenges the city has faced in the last decade won't disappear overnight; careful consideration of what's worked and what hasn't will be crucial as New Haven moves forward.
The five intersections in this review were chosen from across New Haven's many neighborhoods, each bringing in the voices of traffic safety activists, residents and officials who have been part of the city's history of traffic safety and who believe, above all, that all traffic deaths are preventable. Activists and officials alike carefully avoid the term "accident" — in their view, every tragedy is preventable and should be a reminder of the steps New Haven needs to take toward achieving Vision Zero and a network of safe, equitable city streets. Ultimately, the names above must not only be memorialized by the New Haven community but taken as inspiration to continue the fight towards a traffic fatality-free New Haven.
#1 Ella T. Grasso Blvd: Funding a City
Graphic: Anasthasia Shilov
Talk to local residents about pedestrian safety and they'll likely point you to Ella T. Grasso Boulevard, also known as Connecticut Route 10, which is notorious for traffic fatalities. In this year alone, four pedestrians — Arthur Bastek, Anthony Little, Eric Joseph Pechalonis and a fourth unidentified victim — have been killed at or near Route 10's intersection with U.S Route 1, also known as Orange and Columbus Streets.
This intersection presents numerous challenges to both pedestrians and motorists. Dangling traffic lights suspended across the intersection often swing around in the wind and are difficult to see from eye level while standing at the intersections. Although there is a lone pedestrian crossing signal for those traversing Grasso, it is hard to see from across the crosswalk.
Ella T. Grasso Boulevard has been a pain point in the city's traffic history, but may finally see updates in the coming year. (Photos: Jessie Cheung)
In 2018, the Connecticut Department of Transportation, or CTDOT, granted New Haven $317,085 as part of its $12.4 million "Community Connectivity Grant Program," a program designed to support pedestrian and bicycle safety. In an emailed statement to the News, CTDOT spokesperson Kevin Nursick said that Route 10 is under a current comprehensive review that is "anticipated to be completed this coming spring." According to Doug Hausladen, director of New Haven's Transportation, Traffic and Parking Department, sidewalk construction is slated to begin in 2021.
For many, however, Ella Grasso Boulevard and the city's other projects move far too slowly; the Safe Streets Coalition describes progress on the Complete Streets Ordinance's protocols as "slow and piecemeal." Rob Rocke, a board member of long-time advocacy group Elm Street Cycling and a member of the Safe Streets Coalition, points to the incomplete Edgewood Avenue Cycling Track — a nearby project to build a separated bike lane along one of the city's busiest streets — as an example of the city's slow movement.
"The Edgewood Avenue Cycling Track, which was supposed to be a test case for the Complete Streets legislation, is so delayed that among us in the 'safe streets' community, it's become a joke," Rocke said. "It's somehow a process issue, with problems between our local and state officials — but years are going by and it's not getting done."
The bureaucratic tensions between local and state officials in Hartford can certainly be seen along Grasso Boulevard. Hausladen noted that while the city has jurisdiction over the construction of sidewalks and curbs, most stoplights, pedestrian signals and other infrastructure are owned by the state of Connecticut.
The city's main problem, however, remains a limited budget. As City Engineer Giovanni Zinn noted at the mayor's event last month, the city is slated to spend less than one million dollars on infrastructure this year. Mayor Elicker cited lack of funding as a primary roadblock for traffic safety improvements.
"Ultimately, almost every problem that we are dealing with as a city comes down to money," Elicker said. "It comes down to our ability to fund traffic timing infrastructure and to fund enough police officers to ensure there's enforcement."
The general fund budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year reduced the budgets for the Engineering and Transportation departments by more than 7 percent each compared to the previous fiscal year, despite an overall budget increase of 2.04 percent.
However, a lack of resources isn't an excuse for inaction, according to Safe Streets members. Max Chaoulideer GRD '21, who spoke of a friend's traffic-related passing at a Safe Streets memorial in November, called the mayor's response "disappointing."
"There's a need to light a bit of a fire under him and make it clear that what's going on right now — an unbelievable slow, glacial trickle of projects built every 10 years — is not okay," said Chaoulideer. "We need to re-prioritize and re-conceive the process."
Rocke added that he'd hoped that Elicker, who earlier in his own career had been part of the movement that resulted in the Complete Streets Ordinance, would bring traffic safety into the forefront of his administration. In Rocke's mind, Elicker was "the guy who biked to work on his first day on the job as mayor."
Since the memorial, Elicker has engaged with the Safe Streets Coalition members, discussing a renewed commitment to traffic safety through a new "Safe Routes for All" plan, which would include a "study of the city's major arteries" and a public-facing interactive map about ongoing projects and requests.
"It's clear that the mayor and Giovanni Zinn and Doug Hausladen and all of these figures are really committed to approving transportation infrastructure, and they're putting vulnerable users as the priority, at least in these plans," Chaoulideer said. He added that Hausladen has been a steady fixture at Safe Streets organizing meetings, calling him a great "liaison".
Hausladen noted that the city has increased its budget for sidewalk and other above-ground transit construction projects significantly in the past decade. The decrease in his department's budget, as well as others, is in part a result of lower state funding and federal grants over the last four years, resulting in "pain and suffering" for local initiatives, he said.
"Our lack of funding is not for a lack of effort," said Hausladen. "Over the last four years, our funding as a federal government was re-prioritized — the value of urban centers depreciated. This is why we keep applying for grants, more and more."
In the coming years, with a new presidential administration taking the reins of federal departments, funding chances for new safety projects could increase, Hausladen noted.
Safe streets activists continue to advocate for greater transparency and community involvement in the policymaking process moving forward, but say they are "encouraged" by the talks with city officials.
"We've had a lot of frustrations over the past years over this disconnect between what the city knew and what residents knew," Chaoulideer said. "Now, there's definitely hope, and definitely a need for more specificity and flesh on this larger skeleton."
#2 Blake and Valley: Community Engagement

Not all traffic safety policies have to be expensive. Carolyn Lusch, a transportation planner and member of the Safe Streets Coalition, is an advocate for changes at the intersection of Blake and Valley streets in the Westville neighborhood of New Haven. Lusch first noticed the potential for danger while walking her son to the Friends Center for Children located at the intersection.
"I immediately realized as I was walking him there every day that this intersection is particularly treacherous, mainly because there is a very wide right turn going for Blake onto Valley. Cars tend to speed around, sometimes without even stopping."
Besides the child care center, the area hosts a Montessori school and senior living facilities, making it a particularly high-traffic zone for families. Lusch and other members of Westville's community management team, one of 12 in the city, have pressured officials for years to make changes at intersections like Blake and Valley.
Hausladen told the News that the city recently installed a flashing LED "no turn on red" sign (seen above) to reduce motorist speeds. Lusch said that this has probably had some impact on driver behavior, but that more work needs to be done.
"It has been a constant worry of mine," Lusch said. "We have had some success in getting some changes, but it's certainly still a very dangerous situation."
Using either concrete or temporary planter installments to bring the curb further into the street, as seen in the third graphic, has been shown to slow drivers down. (Graphic: Courtesy of Michele Weisbart)
Curb radius reduction is one possible solution to the intersection's wide right turn, which currently allows drivers to navigate across the intersection while maintaining high travel speeds. Studies by the National Association of City Transportation Officials show that radii of street corners and vehicle turning speeds are directly correlated. They recommend reducing corner radii to a maximum of 15 feet, which not only forces drivers to slow down before turning, but also reduces the length of crosswalks, minimizing pedestrian exposure to traffic.
Though permanent changes like extending the concrete curb would be expensive, Lusch has been advocating for temporary installations, such as planters or street paint placed along the curb, as interim solutions.
The Westville community management team had approved the use of some Neighborhood Public Improvement Program (NPIP) funds to purchase materials for a temporary curb extension project, Lusch said. The initiative was ultimately delayed by the city based on hopes that developers of a nearby apartment building at 500 Blake would be able to fund traffic-calming initiatives in the area instead.
This doesn't mean, however, that community-based organizing for traffic solutions is ineffective. Both Lusch and Hausladen noted that traffic-calming infrastructure, including the use of NPIP funds for asphalt art installations, had been successfully implemented on the other side of town by the Quinnipiac East community management team. Hausladen's department also worked with residents last summer to create six street-art installations, including a Black Lives Matter mural along Temple Street. Such community-based partnerships are a priority for his department, Hausladen said.
The community-oriented work that Lusch and many others have carried out can and must continue on a wider scale. As part of the 2020 Multimodal Transit Summit organized by the Center for Latino Progress last month, city officials and traffic safety activists gathered for a walk audit training, teaching community members to identify and report potential safety improvements within their own neighborhoods. Kai Addae and other Safe Streets Coalition organizers gave a talk at the same event, emphasizing the importance of transparency and including community stakeholders in a "Vision Zero Task Force."
Tony Cherolis, who coordinated the summit and training, pointed out that city residents, armed with intimate knowledge of their communities, are the "best people to determine the changes needed to improve safety in their neighborhoods." Though the responsibility for safer streets will continue to rest on the shoulders of policymakers, a high level of street-by-street and neighborhood-by-neighborhood engagement in this issue will remain crucial.
Ultimately, Lusch's design philosophy centers around making streets safer for all users, including pedestrians. She feels that conversations about traffic safety all too often take on a victim-blaming attitude.
"There's this automatic bias against pedestrians in favor of cars. We need to see pedestrians as vulnerable users of the road who need priority."
#3 Grand and Ferry: Speed Kills
The Grand and Ferry intersection, located in population-dense Fair Haven, is the home of a "ghost bike" memorial placed by the Safe Streets Coalition. (Photos: Jessie Cheung)
The year has seen increased fatalities for those on wheels as well. Julio Ruiz, 79, who lived in the Fair Haven neighborhood, was struck by a hit-and-run motorcyclist while cycling near his home at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Ferry Street on May 22. He succumbed to his injuries three days later.
The Safe Streets Coalition of New Haven placed a "ghost bike" at Grand and Ferry as a memorial to Ruiz earlier this month. The bike, which has been spray-painted white, comes with a sign listing Ruiz's age and gender, as is tradition with other ghost bikes commemorating cyclist fatalities in New Haven. Stationed at the site of Ruiz's collision, it serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers pedestrians and cyclists face at the hands of motorists. Given the blatant disregard for the speed limit in the area, however, drivers passing by may not even notice.
Though there are clearly marked red crosswalks, the area's high population density and numerous small businesses make this intersection particularly deadly. Furthermore, Grand, like many of New Haven's state owned roads, has a 25 mph speed limit, making the avenue a major high-traffic artery even as it cuts through a largely residential neighborhood. At a mayor's event at East Rock Park in October, many residents called for a reduction of the city's default speed limits to 20 mph.
According to literature reviewed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, collisions involving vehicles travelling at 20 mph have a 5 percent likelihood of resulting in pedestrian fatalities. That number, however, jumps to 40 percent when vehicles travel at 30 mph, and 80 percent at 40 mph. Though this year's collisions were influenced by many different variables, the common denominator in their severity is speed.
Why do speed limits, despite apparent support for decreases among local residents, remain so high? Legislators have previously attempted to hand control of state road speed limits over to cities like New Haven. Rep. Roland Lemar, who represents the 96th district in the Connecticut State House, co-sponsored H.B. 6590 in 2019, which would allow municipalities to lower speed limits up to 15 mph below state standards.
Traffic safety has been an important priority since Lemar's time on the Board of Alders, where he helped to pass the Complete Streets ordinance. Since being elected as a state representative in 2011, he has continued to focus on traffic-related legislation.
"In New Haven, and Connecticut, frankly, cars blow through crosswalks all the time," Lemar said. "It's horrifically unsafe. As the father of three young children now, I'm terrified to even let them cross the road at a crosswalk, which isn't the case in most states."
Though it passed the state House with a vote of 142 to three, with five members abstaining, H.B. 6590 died in the state Senate and was never taken up for a vote. Describing an attitude of "anti-urbanism," Lemar told the News that some legislators from suburban and rural districts viewed the bill as an unnecessary restriction on the flow of traffic on state roads that run through cities. In Lemar's view, however, the communities that host those roads must take priority, and should be given greater say in the safety of their neighborhoods.
Lemar believes that the year's increased fatalities may broaden bipartisan support for similar traffic issues in the current legislative session, which began earlier this month. As chair of the house's transportation committee, he is currently co-sponsoring H.B. 5429, a sweeping bill that addresses right-of-way in crosswalks and hands control of some speed limits to local traffic authorities, among other policies.
"A number of my suburban counterparts [have been starting] to see in the last few years a greater number of their constituents asking for changes to local laws," Lemar told the News. "They are recognizing the same things that we've been recognizing for a decade: People are driving too fast, and all of the safety enhancements that have been made have been for the driver."
Lusch, Chauolideer, and several other New Haveners spoke in favor of the bill at a live hearing on Jan. 27, with over 140 other city residents submitting favorable written testimonies, according to the Independent.
#4 Elm and Temple: Automated Enforcement
Elm and Temple is at the heart of the New Haven Green and saw one pedestrian fatality in 2020. (Photos: Jessie Cheung)
Located in front of the New Haven Public Library and just a two-minute walk from Grace Hopper College, the intersection of Elm and Temple is equipped with functional traffic signals, bike lanes and clearly marked crosswalks. Still, New Haven resident Milton Williams, 53, was struck and killed here on July 12. According to a NHPD press release, Williams was walking north on Temple when he was hit by a motorist traveling east on Elm.
Busy corners like this one, located in the heart of downtown, have often been pain points in the debate surrounding automated enforcement — the use of image capture technology for traffic enforcement. These include red-light cameras and speed enforcement cameras, which proponents argue are more effective than police departments in regulating driver behavior.
Automated enforcement is not permitted in New Haven or in Connecticut, and past attempts have been overturned with public pressure from civil rights groups. The ACLU has historically been opposed to automated enforcement, particularly red-light cameras. This technology, the group argues, could inhibit civilian privacy and right to due process, allowing the government to potentially track private citizens using license plate data, for example.
Elm Street Cycling board member Rocke explained that the privacy argument is outdated.
"With what we're all walking and driving around with in our pockets, the privacy argument [against automated enforcement] doesn't really hold up anymore," Rocke said. "I don't think that this day and age, where we are with technology, that the 'Big Brother' technological fears are relevant anymore."
A "long-term card carrying member" of the ACLU, Rocke says he left the group over this issue. He has since been involved with every recent attempt at the state level to pass legislation enabling certain cities to test and use automated enforcement.
In addition to privacy concerns, the Connecticut NAACP and CT Black and Puerto Rican Caucus have also opposed automated enforcement on the grounds that cameras would unfairly target minority communities. Though it is true that past attempts to install cameras have focused on urban municipalities with large minority communities like Hartford and New Haven, both Hausladen and Lemar argued that a careful placement of cameras throughout the city and surrounding suburbs could prevent disproportionate targeting.
Furthermore, in a recent op-ed published by the CT Mirror, Westville advocate Lusch and traffic safety proponent Andrew Giering argued that automated technology could reduce traffic stops performed by armed police officers.
"In our country, traffic stops are the most common interaction that residents have with police," Lusch and Giering write. "For Black drivers, who are almost twice as likely to be pulled over as white drivers, these interactions can be stressful, traumatic and dangerous. Speed cameras can deter potentially lethal speeding without direct police engagement, and without any subjective human decision-making and the attendant risk of implicit or explicit bias."
A pilot program for automated enforcement is included as a major part of H.B. 5429, with Lamar describing the technology as "better than stationing a cop on every other block." Furthermore, he noted that past debates have revolved around red-light cameras, while focusing on speed enforcement cameras could be more palatable. He hopes to continue discussing the issue with stakeholders like the ACLU as the legislation progresses. Hausladen told the News that his department would support the technology if permitted by the state legislature.
#5 South Frontage and York: A School in a City
York and South Frontage has become a focus of Yale advocates after the community experienced its third death in twelve years here. (Photos: Isaac Yu)
A solitary bicycle sits chained to a pole at the corner of York and South Frontage, its stark white paint contrasting against concrete surroundings. The ghost bike was erected last year for Keon Ho Lim, a 25-year-old Yale Law School student from Medford, Massachusetts. Lim was struck tragically at this intersection while biking on Oct. 6.
Traffic safety gained University-wide attention following Lim's death. This was the third pedestrian or cyclist fatality to occur at this intersection, located in the heart of the city, in 12 years.
Yale associate professor of urbanism Elihu Rubin called the intersection a "perfect storm" for traffic incidents, noting that South Frontage encourages higher speeds particularly where it meets the on-ramps for Interstates 91 and 95.
Though the intersection at York and South Frontage is maintained by the city, safe streets activists have pointed out that it is functionally a Yale intersection, with Yale New Haven Hospital, the School of Medicine and several Yale-owned residential properties all located nearby.
"All three fatalities have had a direct Yale connection, either student or staff. Like it or not, it touches Yale all over the place," said Rocke.
Several Yale Law students spoke of Lim at the hearings for H.B. 5429, and three YLS professors submitted written testimony in favor of the bill as well, citing disproportionate harms of current infrastructure to Black and Latinx individuals.
For Chaoulideer and other graduate students, the University's silence on the incident is representative of a wider trend, where Yale has refused to acknowledge or take responsibility for its role in the city. The privately owned Yale Shuttle system, he noted as an example, is a drain on what could be a thriving city bus system, removing ridership and dollars and making public transportation more costly and difficult to maintain.
Giering, who authored the op-ed with Lusch, is a self-described "perennial townie" who grew up in New Haven. He expressed his long-time frustrations with the University's lack of responsibility and respect for the city over traffic safety and equity issues.
"Yale thinks that they are a part of and better than New Haven, but Yale would not exist if New Haven hadn't incubated it," Giering said. "Yale needs to get there intellectually and accept its role in creating the situation we have now. The city is broke because of Yale."
According to University spokesperson Karen Peart, the Yale Traffic Safety Committee, of which Rocke is a member, has made gains at this intersection by advocating for pedestrian bollards and additional signage at South Frontage and York. Formed in 2011, this committee has also worked around campus to establish traffic safety curriculums and launch several public information campaigns. The University is also in favor of a pilot program for automated enforcement and local control of speed limits, both of which are components of H.B 5429.
Still, some say that Yale can play a larger role in New Haven's traffic safety. Giering and others described Yale's past efforts as "pet projects" that focused on campus surroundings rather than the city as a whole.
When activists and officials gathered at East Rock Park last month, Elicker called on institutions like Yale and Yale New Haven Hospital, who collectively receive a tax break of $157 million from the city, to pay their "fair share" in property taxes. Currently, these institutions make "voluntary payments" to the city, which totaled $12.5 million during the 2020-21 fiscal year. Some 60 percent of the Elm City's total property qualifies for some form of tax exemption status, a trend driven by the city's two largest nonprofits, Yale and Yale New Haven Hospital.
In addition to writing about local traffic policy, Giering has worked to incorporate the nonprofit arm of Bradley Street Bike Co-op, a group dedicated to decreasing transit inequality. He and others in the "safe streets" community have found themselves increasingly concerned about the city's traffic crisis as a result of the New Haven Independent's consistent coverage of incidents.
This coverage had commanded attention in other parts of the state. Kerri Provost, a blogger with Real Hartford, read the Independent's coverage and was saddened by the lack of sustained attention statewide. She decided to cover every traffic fatality she could find around the state, including those in New Haven, in a monthly column. This process involved cross-checking a wide variety of resources, including the UCONN crash repository, municipal databases, local news outlets and obituary lists. The column's main goals were to increase sustained public awareness and change the conversation to involve traffic safety victims as people. In Provost's view, the more people hear about traffic safety issues, the better.
"I want the general public to pay more attention to how frequently pedestrians and cyclists get hurt," Provost said. "The bureaucrats, the people who have the top-level positions of power to set budgets — they need to get it together and show that humans have value, and that's regardless of whether we're poor and can't afford private transportation, or we choose not to drive, or if someone is homeless — we should still be protected."
For now, the ghost bike sits at York and South Frontage, a lasting reminder of the work that remains to be done.
Though the issue of traffic safety is overwhelmingly complex and multifaceted, one fact is clear: There is still a lot of work to be done. As state and local officials gear up for a new year of policymaking and community groups look to their next steps in advocacy, the relationship going forward between government and constituent remains to be seen. Do bureaucratic misgivings and a "glacial" slowness continue to strangle efforts across the board? Can 2020 serve as a wake-up call, prompting effective and meaningful change? Will New Haven finally become the city it set out to be a decade ago, providing safe transportation for each and every one of its residents?
The News, for its part, will strive to report on traffic safety, from collisions and fatalities to policy changes, shedding light on this important matter for the students and alumni who have called New Haven home.
Clarification, Feb. 2: This article has been updated to clarify that the New Haven traffic fatality statistics from 2018 and 2019 include driver, pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.

This site provides insights about Cape Cod. I've tried to make it an extensive resource for the area. While creating this site, I have I gained insights along the way, including insights about site building. I used Solo Build It! for this site and the learning experience was extensive. I also learned that some people enjoy bashing products in order to pad their own wallets. The SiteSell site talks about how some competitors will stoop very low to gain customers. Since I used Solo Build It!, I want to share with my readers that link, so they can judge for themselves what Solo Build It! is about, in case they are interested in using it. Thanks for reading! | {

Requested Legal Disclaimer by the LDS Church
Mormon Discussion's podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc's awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public's watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the "fair use" defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author's work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner's exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech's text without the politician's permission.
Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author's observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star's speech in order to make fun of that star. | {

Over the years, I've interviewed some extraordinary people.
Some of them were also famous; most of the truly remarkable ones were not. The individuals that stick in my mind, people whose words still ring in my head, those whose strength and dignity took my breath away, were outwardly ordinary folks like you and me whose extraordinary qualities were only revealed to the rest of us in challenging times.
For almost a decade now, Gwinnett Magazine has featured stories of survivorship in our annual healthcare issue. We started in 2007, profiling cancer survivors as part of our Heroes Project and in support of Gwinnett's Relay For Life celebration. From day one, the stories captivated our staff and for me, writing these profiles was both a treasured gift and a rewarding responsibility. It mattered tremendously to me that I captured the spirit of each individual and gave each their unique voice. It wasn't usual to have someone get emotional in an interview, but in a great many of these interviews, we all welled up. Remarkably, the tears were rarely sorrowful. Instead, these survivors shed tears of triumph, accomplishment and perseverance.
In 2008, we added young people to our profiles and all my writer's training went out the window. Most of these children were young, often under age 10, so I was interviewing their parents and I couldn't quit thinking like a mom myself. I marveled at the strength and grace of these parents… of what it took to lead your child hopefully, courageously through treatment.
We met Tony Velo and his mom, Cathy, in 2010, when he was just 11. We found his passion for life and his faith inspiring then and it's been our pleasure to watch him grow up. He's still inspiring others – and that's no surprise to us. You can read more of his story on page 26, plus news on this year's Relay For Life event.
Tony's is not the only story of challenge and triumph you'll find in this issue. Our healthcare focus includes a series of profiles about individuals who've faced some daunting health issues and are now thriving. You'll also meet three individuals who made 180 degree career changes to follow their dreams, with a spirit and determination that's energizing for all.
We think these stories of renewal and new beginnings are the perfect way to launch spring – and it couldn't get here fast enough for us. | {

Following from the idea discussed at our AGM, we asked about the cost of 'slow down' signs on the prom to remind cyclists of the speed limit. This is already in hand within the Council's budget. We asked if BBHA could cover the cost of one or two more signs to try and improve coverage. This will be explored and we will chase this up as we know it's a big worry to many of you.

BBC intend to use this information to target their enforcement initiatives. They did advise to issue offending cyclist with tickets, they need the police to be present. Unfortunately, the police in Boscombe have not been supportive when approached to target offenders, but Bournemouth police have. | {

The mod simply has the purpose of porting all the sound effects straight from Sonic Unleashed. It will be 100% accurate compared to other Sonic Unleashed sound effect mods.
The Sonic Unleashed footstep sounds are more realistic, faster and louder compared to Sonic Generations. I don't think any of other sound effects are really different, but I will port all of them, so that we will be able to see the differences. | {

At this stage of the process it was clear that the Department of Veterans Affairs were not going to entertain any new ideas or plans for commemorative developments across Kokoda. We then thought it would be good to know if they did in fact have any sort of master plan for the track. After a number of requests the Minister made the extraordinary admission that no such plan existed – and that they had no desire to develop one!
'It will come as no surprise to you then that the 'Government Master Plan' of which you inquire 'for the development of the Kokoda Track as a national memorial park' does not exist . . . I regret that I am unable to satisfy your demand for such a large scale approach to this issue.
At this stage of the process all correspondence to Ministers was forwarded to the Minister for Veterans Affairs for a response. It was clear that it was regarded as a Veterans Affairs issue – nobody has yet been able to grasp the important contribution other government (Australian and PNG) departments such as education, arts, environment, defence and foreign affairs can make towards the development of the Kokoda Trail.
We then asked for a meeting with Ministerial and relevant departmental representatives. The meeting was chaired by the Head of the Australian War Graves Commission and attended by the Department's chief historian. Patrick Lindsay, producer of the television documentary 'Kokoda: The Bloody Track' and author of 'The Spirit of Kokoda: Then and Now' and I attended the meeting. Patrick had walked the track in 1992 and I had been trekking across it for a number of years. None of the other departmental representatives, Ministerial advisors or the 'expert' historian had trekked across it. The meeting lasted for a couple of hours and every idea we proposed was rejected. After the meeting Patrick Lindsay remarked 'I have never attended a meeting with such a pervading sense of negativity'.
We then arranged for a meeting with Prime Minister John Howard who supported our concept for an interdepartmental to be established and directed the Department of Veterans Affairs accordingly. This was great news however we had not reckoned on the ability of senior departmental bureaucrats to sabotage the idea. In a classic 'Yes Minister' style the Department satisfied the Prime Ministers instruction by developing a terms of reference that had little relevance to what we wanted to achieve. The proponents of the idea were never invited to participate in any subsequent meetings or discussions nor were we ever advised of any outcomes.
The major problem we faced was getting anybody in Canberra to understand the impact of the Kokoda experience on people. We explained that it was an experience that had to be experienced to be appreciated and proposed that a team of interdepartmental advisors be established to trek across Kokoda with their counterparts in PNG and prepare a joint Australian/PNG report on their experience and their views to the various Ministers.
We therefore decided to lobby individual Ministers for support and advised that we had received positive reactions from senior Ministers in the PNG government for the proposal.
At this time we were leading groups from the University of Western Sydney across the track as part of a leadership program. Many of the participants were young female students and at no stage did we ever feel threatened. Indeed the opposite was the case and all the students commented on the warm hospitality they experienced throughout their visit. It was my firm view that the 'travel advisories' put in place by the Department of Foreign Affairs in PNG were nothing more that 'a cover your arse bureaucratic exercise'.
A Ministerial reshuffle saw Bruce Scott get shuffled to the back bench. Enough said. We had high hopes that the new Minister would take charge but it soon became apparent that she would continue to be a puppet of the Departmental of the War Graves Commission, Air Vice Marshall Beck.
We continued our efforts to try and establish what the 'inter-departmental committee' was doing and what were the outcomes of their deliberations.
A potential backlash to a proposal to mine the southern section of the trail for gold and copper in the mid-1990s caused the Government to do something – unfortunately responsibility for it was allocated to the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts instead of Veterans Affairs who are responsible for commemoration – and after 10 years insite – and an expenditure of more than $50 million there is still no Master Heritage Plan for the trail. | {

Sticking out our tongues and going "Neener, neener" isn't helpful: Turning swords into honeycombs
As kids we all learned the absurd childish retort for being called names:"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Eventually we kids grew up to learn that this is far from the truth.
Whenever I hear one person call another "Jerk!" (or worse) I cringe. Especially when the name-caller is a fellow follower of Christ.
Why? Because we who are Christians know that all people are created in the image of God. Sure, God's image in us is flawed by sin, but name calling doesn't help spread the Good News.
So, Christian or not, it isn't cool for one image-of-God-bearer to call another image-of-God-bearer a jerk, or worse.
Words can cripple and kill from the soul out. Yet still, we freely lob insults and word-grenades around like candy tossed at a parade.
The name-maiming intensifies around the particularly hot topic of politics. This intensity really ramps up around elections, like the one we've just endured.
Now that the voting results are in, the verbal guns continue to come out blazing as insults, false accusations, innuendos, spin, and suspicions are splattered everywhere.
As if any of this is productive!
You dirty, no-good, crazy, son-of-a-@#$&@, lousy evangelical!
In his new book, Vanishing Grace: Whatever happened to the Good News?, Philip Yancey exposes how many Americans view evangelicals. He references surveys by Ellison Research of Phoenix that reveal:
"Evangelicals were called illiterate, greedy, psychos, racist, stupid, narrow-minded, bigots, idiots, fanatics, nut cases, screaming loons, delusional, simpletons, pompous, morons, cruel, nitwits, and freaks, and that's just a partial list...." [Emphasis mine.]
It's not just evangelicals who get mindlessly blasted like this. Sadly, these labels and worse get tossed around by a lot of people aiming them at a lot of other people.
You'll hear these slander-bombs going off in church, at PTA meetings, on the road, at the football game, in the grocery store, on the street in your neighborhood, and in the news.
But you'll especially hear them in politics.
Republicans toss them at democrats. Democrats toss them at republicans. Liberals toss them at moderates. Moderates toss them at liberals and conservatives. Tea partiers and independents toss them at everyone.
Ironically, a lot of the yelling revolves around accusing "them" from refusing to cooperate with "us."
And we wonder why very little real work gets done in D.C.
Civility and understanding are impossible when verbal grenades are blowing everyone to bloody bits.
It needs to stop. We can do better.
Emerging from the bunkers to shake hands
We need to behave and play nice. If it won't happen at among our elected leaders, then it needs to start with us at the grassroots.
Instead of viewing each other with contempt and mistrust and telling "them" to reach across the aisle, "we the people" need to set the example.
Peace in any conflict doesn't happen until someone risks taking the first step in the midst of conflict. Peace comes at a cost to the initiators who have to be the first to lay down their weapons.
Seeds of peace are planted when we change our perceptions of one another.Adversarial ways of seeing each other will not bring us together, promote understanding, or produce civil discourse:
If we view others as a target, we'll take pot shots at them.
If we view others as an enemy, we'll seek to defeat them.
If we view others as stupid, we'll ignore them.
If we view others as wrong, we'll always fight them.
If we view others as bigots, we'll be on guard against them.
If we view others as hostile, we'll pounce on them.
If we view others as pompous, we'll discount their value.
Jesus offers two antidotes to counter these antagonistic views:
The first is the traditional "golden rule" that says simply, "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them" (Matthew 7:12, ESV). You know, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That's pretty easy to understand.
The second brings it a little closer to home and is given in the form of a command, not a suggestion or guideline: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39, ESV).
This isn't simple stuff. It's a lot easier to hate than love. Revenge and slander are easier than reconciliation. Unity can be messier than discord.
Laying down our verbal weapons and coming out of our bunkers makes us all vulnerable. But being vulnerable is the only way to get to where we need to go.
Even the strongest, healthiest families have to work through issues when they come together under one roof for the holidays. That's just the way it is with us humans.
But the strongest and healthiest families got to be strong and healthy by listening to one another, caring about one another, respecting one another, accepting one another, overlooking faults, bearing with one another, and learning to live with differences of opinions.
We need to do the same as a nation, starting with the neighbor we can't stand or the co-worker with the crazy ideas or the outlier with the odd tastes in music or those in that "other" political party.
We all want to be treated with respect & taken seriously
In the third episode of the TV show Madam Secretary, sensitive documents are leaked revealing that U.S. government workers have tagged world leaders with insulting descriptions in memos. These revelations lead to serious rifts in relationships between the U.S. and important allies.
These careless and demeaning words could lead to nuclear powered sticks and stones being brought to bear.
The Secretary of State, played by Téa Leoni, defuses the situation and then orders a "decree" to be sent to all 31,822 staffers in her purview stating, "From now on I expect all correspondence at every level of confidentiality to be civil and respectful, worthy of the office being represented."
I'd like to see such a decree actually implemented, in Washington, D.C. and beyond, on memos and mouths!
This should be standard operating procedure in all walks of life in all communication, verbal or written.
Especially for those of us who claim God as our creator, Christ as our savior, and the Holy Spirit as our empowerer.
A much less hostile and far more positive discourse will emerge simply when we stop labeling each other with derogatory adjectives such as "illiterate, greedy, psychos, racist, stupid, narrow-minded, bigots, idiots, fanatics, nut cases, screaming loons, delusional, simpletons, pompous, morons, cruel, nitwits, and freaks."
In fact, Proverbs 12:18 cautions that "rash words are like sword thrusts" while promising that "the tongue of the wise brings healing."
If there's one thing we need as a nation, it's healing.
Proverbs 16:23-24 offers path forward stating, "The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips. Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body" (ESV).
Let's lay down the swords and bring out the honeycombs.
If you're a democrat, how do you view your republican friends? If you're a republican, how do you view your democrat friends? How do you talk about others with whom you disagree? What kinds of emails do you forward to your friends? What steps have you taken to increase civility and respect in your circles?
Some justify name-calling by pointing to Jesus's calling the Pharisees "serpents" and "vipers." Is this really a legitimate argument for insulting others?

can help deliver food aid to a family suffering from hunger
can provide vital relief to emergency survivors
can help build a transitional shelter for Rohingya refugees whose camp burned down in Bangladesh
Focus on the Rohingya
Myanmar's Rakhine State is home to the Rohingya. It is the least developed state in the country with a poverty rate of 78% compared to the 37.5% national average, according to the World Bank. Government restrictions have been put in place against the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group, on marriage, family planning, employment, education, religious freedom, and freedom of movement.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled persecution in Rakhine, fueling a humanitarian crisis. Most have fled to Bangladesh, which has limited land and resources. Some have also fled to Malaysia, India, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Islamic Relief's Dedication to Myanmar
Our main intervention includes providing humanitarian aid to internally displaced people and host communities in Rakhine State including the following:
Access to clean water, sanitation, and health services
We also work to provide emergency relief for natural disasters including building shelters for those affected by cyclones.
Thanks to you, we've been able to accomplish so much. But there's still so much more to do. By continuing to support our efforts in Myanmar, you can help make a difference in the lives of those in desperate need.
PLEASE NOTE: Donations made to IRUSA's Myanmar fund may serve urgent or long-term programs in Myanmar or for Myanmar refugees in other countries. | {

Software development and design is part art and part science, but which part wins out in most projects? It seems even the most prolific developers disagree.... As a software engineer and programmer I do NOT want to be a DevOps person; I don't want to be responsible for configuration management, customer releases, or automation because it takes away from what I am best at: architecting and implementing software solutions. Let someone else distribute the code and configure it for different platforms.
The nature of value stream mapping in software development varies slightly, because the inputs and outputs are not tangible goods, but rather, pieces of deployable value created by knowledge workers. Thus, value stream mapping for software development varies in the way it's utilized as well.... Software Engineer Resume Example - See 20+ resume templates and create your resume here. One of our users, Nikos, had this to say: [I used] a nice template I found on Zety.

Feature engineering is an informal topic, but one that is absolutely known and agreed to be key to success in applied machine learning. In creating this guide I went wide and deep and synthesized all of the material I could. | {

Jeremy – Colon Cancer Warrior
Cancer Warrior, Jeremy, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer and has a unique story to tell:
"On 8/8/18 I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. It spread to my aorta and liver. I was 33 years old, worked out 6 days a week, never smoked, not a heavy drinker and had just finished a year of the healthiest eating in my life. There is no genetic history of colon cancer in my family. Needless to say, the diagnosis was a shock. The following months were filled with surgeries, tests, chemo, recovery and appointments. This experience has been crazy but I'm grateful for how blessed I am and how far I have come."

Without totally sidelining their historic rivalry, the U.S. Naval Academy and U.S. Air Force Academy joined forces to improve energy efficiency at both campuses.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the second season of its "Better Buildings Challenge Swap," a reality web series in which two organizations swap three-person teams to find ways to increase energy efficiency.
In this season, an energy team from each military institution travels to the other's campus to explore how it can reduce its energy footprint.
Russell Hume, energy program manager at the Air Force Academy, told The Huffington Post that each team has an opportunity to share its expertise and pinpoint where the other is falling short. At the end of the day, however, he said these friendly rivals' different perspectives result in innovative and, in some cases, simple and low-cost solutions that can be applied beyond a dormitory or cafeteria.
"It was great to have an extra set of eyes," Hume told HuffPost.
The Air Force team's project was energy efficiency at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

The first season of the web series, released in February, pitted a 1.8 million-square-foot Hilton Worldwide hotel against a 25,600-square-foot Whole Foods Market. In the latest swap, the federal government was given a chance to lead by example, according to Maria Vargas, director of the DOE's Better Buildings Challenge.
Vargas told HuffPost that both academies had strengths and weaknesses and that even these leaders in efficiency have room to improve.
"The willingness to learn and the desire to be better is what makes it fun and ensures progress," she said. "You don't have to relearn the lessons; people are showing you what's working."
The Department of Defense is the single largest energy consumer in the U.S. In fiscal year 2014, it racked up a total energy bill of $18.2 billion, according to a department report. Last year, President Barack Obama ordered that all federal agencies obtain at least 30 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025 in an effort to reduce carbon emissions.
The DOE said that in the series, the Navy and Air Force teams discuss how to cut costs with simple changes, such as turning off lights in empty classrooms, as well as with larger projects, like adding flexible rooftop solar.
Jabe Nekula, chief electrical engineer at the Naval Academy, said a key takeaway is that the job of being energy efficient is never finished, because new technologies keep adding ways to stretch efficiency.
"Energy cannot be taken for granted and is a very real part of our mission effectiveness," he told HuffPost.

With so many things to worry about in our hectic world, we want you to have a total peace of mind when it comes to securing your business and personal assets.
We only work with industry-leading manufacturers and install state-of-the-art burglar alarm products. We do not take a "one size fits all" approach — we collaborate with you and design custom systems that fit your specific security needs and your budget.
When we install a burglar alarm system, all potential entry and exit points in your facilities will be secure. Interior devices will detect unauthorized trespassing or activity within the building.
We can protect your most valuable equipment, including PCs, servers or safes with item-specific sensors and 24-hour monitoring. We can also install wireless devices as needed.
A valuable part of a comprehensive security system is controlling the access to your facilities and secure areas within them.
Card access control systems allow you to schedule when buildings should be locked and unlocked, grant access to specified users and track employee time and attendance, including breaks.
Control and track entry on and off your property with gate controlled access and use card readers inside the building to keep track of employees on the premises.
Video surveillance can serve as the eyes and ears for your business – tracking, observing and recording the areas that are of most concern to you. Your video surveillance system cameras can also be remotely viewed by placing them on your network or broadcasting them to the web. | {

I am receiving an error when opeing Inskcape 0.48.2 in Windows 7. An error window opens with Inkscape.exe - No Disk in header and message notes "There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk in drive \device\harddisk5\DR5." Error window allows Cancel, try again and continue. When one is selected two times the error disappears. Same error then comes up when trying to open a file.
> error then comes up when trying to open a file.
Had you been working with files from a removable media (opened from / saved to) last time, and this meia (e.g. USB stick) is no longer present on your system?
1) The MRU list (managed by GTK+ itself in 'recently-used.xbel' and shared with other GTK+-based applications, e.g. GIMP) is checked for the presence of related bookmarked files, and entries not found on the current system are omitted from the sub-menu in Inkscape. This check can trigger an attempt to access to a no longer present removable media.
2) Inkscape's file dialogs remember the last used locations (directories) and try to open them the next time used, and could also trigger an attempt to access a no longer present removable media.
I can confirm this bug under Windows Terminal Server 2008.
The file .recently-used.xbel contains references to no longer existing drives (unplugged USB sticks or a card reader with card removed) AFAIR it is stored in C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Inkscape. Deleting the file causes the error to go away, but it is no permanent fix. The bug reappears from time to time and can be worked around each time by deleting the file.
Let's see where this could be fixed.
Inkscape uses GtkRecentManager for the recent-files menu.
_wstat is the Win32 API Call, on which the pop-up error arises (AFAIK).
I have no idea about building inkscape under Windows. I assume that this line of code should fix the problem, but I'm not sure where the line should be placed.
I found a fix, just one line in main.cpp. Patch is attached.
Patch tested successfully on Windows XP, Inkscape trunk revision 12865.
Committed in the trunk, revision 12866.
Thanks for the patch, Max!
if that helps: The same fix as before also works for the 0.48.x series (patch attached). On some systems this bug can get really annoying, I had to click away about 10 such messages at every inkscape start.
Fix backported to the 0.48.x branch, revision 10008.

Clarence Thomas Makes News by Stating the Obvious
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made big news today by revealing the obvious: Oral arguments aren't that big of a deal—especially to Thomas, who has gone more than six years without asking a single question at a hearing.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas made big news today by revealing the obvious: Oral arguments aren't that big of a deal—especially to Thomas, who has gone more than six years without asking a single question at a hearing. Referring to the discourse between justices and lawyers, Thomas told a University of Kentucky audience, "I see no need for all of that. Most of that is in the briefs, and there are a few questions around the edges." He noted that outside of the hour-long oral arguments, the nine justices "have a lifetime to go back in chambers and to argue with each other." The remarks were enough to excite the Associated Press, USA Today, The Washington Post, Politico and other publications but if you think about it, his words were merely common sense.
As legal experts have noted, ahead of oral arguments, the justices scan through reams of briefs that discuss every type of argument you could imagine. It's not as if the justices are exposed to new ideas when they're discussing hugely contentious issues like health care reform. "The worst-kept secret in appellate litigation is that oral arguments don't matter that much," wrote Newsweek's Ben Jacobs last month. "Most of the decision-making process centers around past court precedent and the briefs submitted by the parties and amici curiae (or 'friends of the court')."
The Washington Post's Ezra Klein found a similar answer when he quizzed legal experts on it last month. "There is, after all, something slightly odd about the idea that the members of the Court are genuinely open to being moved by today's discussion over the precise nature of the individual mandate,'" he wrote. "Why would a few hours of theatrical argument be key to their decision-making process?" He spoke with The New Yorker's Supreme Court reporter Jeffrey Toobin who emphasized that, in the case of big issues like health care, oral arguments have significantly less impact. "In my experience, the higher profile the case, the less oral arguments matter, because the Justices have strong and longstanding views about major constitutional issues."
Still, even though health care oral arguments may not have been that important to the justices, it doesn't mean they aren't consequential to the public at large. That's why last month's charade got so much attention: The arguments weren't influencing the justices, necessarily, but they gave the public a window into the disposition of the members of the court, which ended up revealing that yes, five justices could conceivably rule against the individual mandate. | {

When my taste buds are craving something spicy, my favorite meal to eat is Thai food. One of my favorite dishes is Chicken Pad Thai-extra spicy! My boyfriend Ricky and I love trying new spots around LA to indulge in authentic Thai food.
We are so happy we came across Emporium Thai food in Westwood, CA. You are instantly greeted by a cheerful hostess and can hear the soothing noise of a waterfall. The dim lighting atmosphere is very relaxing and the perfect date night spot.
Once we were seated we could not wait to look over the menu. As we searched through the menu there were so many great choices to choose from! The appetizers included veggie rolls, Thai dumplings, chicken lettuce wraps and a few other that sounds mouth watering! We decided to go with the Thai Buffalo Wings.
The Thai Buffalo Wings arrived at our table and we could not wait to dig in! The aroma of the Thai buffalo sauce was making our stomachs rumble with hunger and eagerness to try. Not only were they paired with two amazingly good sauces but they were cooked to perfection. I love when the meat falls off the bone easily and tastes so good! We really enjoyed trying the two sauces that were paired with the wings. One was a sweet sauce and the other was spicy which was great to explore different options.
For the main course our minds decided quickly on the Chicken Pad Thai. There are also other delicious meals on the menu such as, soups, salads, noodles, curry and Jasmine rice dishes, fish and seafood. So many options and they all sound amazing on their menu.
A few other dishes that caught my eye were the Red Curry and Jasmine Rice with Spicy red curry with red Thai chili and coconut milk, and bamboo shoots, bell peppers and Thai basil. Also, the Crying Tiger Beef with Thai‐style chargrilled beef marinated with Thai herbs with homemade chili sauce. I love Salmon and this dish, Grilled Fresh Salmon prepared with Chili and Coconut Sauce or Garlic Sauce sounded so delicious!
Is your mouth watering yet? Be sure to check out their menu for all their delicious dishes. We chose the Chicken Pad Thai with pan-friend noodles, scrambled eggs, bean sprouts, green onions and crushed peanuts. It was so delicious!! You can choose from different spice levels and the medium was a perfect level for me. I really enjoyed the sauce and perfectly cooked noodles. I will definitely reorder this dish again.
If you are searching for an authentic Thai food spot in Los Angeles I would highly recommend Emporium Thai in Westwood. The atmosphere and delicious food makes this a memorable and amazing place to eat dinner or lunch. Your taste buds will be blown away with appetizing and savory meals!
What is your favorite Thai food dish?
Thank you to Emporium Thai for having me and my guest! | {

Hermetic Pilgrim Rectificando
Thanks for getting back to me, White Belt.
Would you happen to agree with this;
Yang is an active force, like the Sun, however, the Sun still contains Yin (receptive force) in order for this active force (Yang) to be contained.
Or another way to put it would be... Human Body is Yin (receptive force) while spirit is Yang (active force) in order for the individual (Spirit/Yang) to become contained.
The ''Sun'' Body & Human Body is both Yin but the force that drives it is Yang, meaning there is Yin & Yang in both but in proportion.
Does this sound accurate to you?
If it does, then wouldn't this mean the Spirit of every female animal/human would be masculine?

The union of these principles is exalted as the root and womb of all creation.
The masculine active force of the spirit (atman) in male semen requires the receptive material matrix of the feminine womb, the material reality (prakrti).
Purusha is a complex concept it means the cosmic man or Self, Consciousness, and Universal principle. Any Purusha concept refers to abstract essence of the Self, Spirit and the Universal Principle that is eternal, indestructible, without form and is all pervasive.
Rishi Angiras explains that Purusha, the dweller in the body, is three-fold: the Bahyatman (the Outer-Atman) which is born and dies; the Antaratman (the Inner-Atman) which comprehends the whole range of material phenomena, gross and subtle, with which the Jiva concerns himself, and the Paramatman which is all-pervading, unthinkable, indescribable, is without action and has no Samskaras.
I will post more soon!

Okay it's always been my intention to reply to this when I had some more contemplative time. Its now become very synchronistic. I'm going to handle the second part first, because that is all I saw the first time around.... I just came across Fuxi and Nuwa on my own yesterday, have come back here to formulate a reply and compare it to the Prima Materia emblem, only to find it's exactly what is here. I'll probably have to split this into two parts.

The dragons dual nature, its celestial and terrestrial terrains and the multiple meanings of the snake and dragon not only in Chinese mythology.
The layers of symbolism here is probably most appreciated here on this forum.
We are just starting to scratch the surface into what I was hoping some people here would be interested in. If anybody is starting to catch on please put your 2 cents in.
So to me, this is Heaven and Earth, the Above and the Below, with the Dragon as the dividing line between the two. The bottom is a symbol of the duodenary structure of the Zodiac, or the Ecliptic plane. This is the boundary of the "World".. It represents the path the planets follow, including the Sun over the "Solar Year". You could just consider this bottom part an Orphic/Cosmological "egg", but the version of it you use here combines both the above and below in an egg-like structure. I believe this is the Ptolemaic conception.. I have an Islamic source that cites Ibn Arabi as considering it the "atlas sphere".
12 is a highly composite number, with factors of 2, 3, 4, and 6 (If you understand how to draw the triangle, you understand how to draw the hexagon - the equilateral triangle is every second point of the hexagon). In terms of the solar year, the square/cross represents the equinoxes and solstices.. the "four corners of the world" (and roughly delineates the seasons). In astrology, the triangle and square represent triplicties and quadruplicities, and everything associate with those.
To the greeks, the tetrad - 1 to 4 actually represents the entire decad (1-10), as 1+2+3+4 =10. 1-4 are considered the "realest", with the rest derived from those. It could also represent the 4 elements of the "sublunary" sphere. The tetrad, in the form of the Tetraktys, represents many aspects of Greek/hermetic metaphysics:
I think the bottom half should be seen as tilted on the horizontal, and in this way, the "1" in the dragon's belly is actually over the center of the circle. This one is the "Monad", the centrum, from which Creation "Emanates" (actually a series of successive emanations). Which brings me back to the pole star/Axis Mundi. Draco is defined from between 7 and 31 stars depending on the source, but is generally considered to occupy every sign of the Zodiac, wrapped around the pole star. (and in some sources becomes a symbol of the entire zodiac, or ecliptic). It is the last guardian before entering the "realm of heaven".. I assume after an ascent through the planetary spheres..
In the above section, the sun, moon, and other five classical planets are a bit trickier. I'm not sure if they should be taken to represent the actual planets/metals, or the higher "Forms/Ideas" (in a platonic sense) that lower planets/metals are a reflection of. Do the actual planets and planetary spheres belong to "heaven", above the Dragon, or are they part of Creation below? I'm not sure. But I lean towards seeing the "Above" as primordial or before Creation is manifest. In that case, the decad and the (idea of) the four elements are also more rightly contained within "heaven".
The compass and the square are the supreme tools of the ancient geometrician. The opposing equals of the compass and the square combined birth geometry and all its sciences.
Specifically, these are the tools of the Art or Craft of the "Geometry of Straight-Edge and Compass". The square is often referred to as a "ruler", but this is inaccurate, as it is unruled/unmarked. This is slightly different from "ordinary" geometry in that there are no measurements/calculations, only "organic" constructions created with compass and straight edge. When you understand the basic functions of SE&C, like bisecting an angle, it is understood that the square is just a short-cut for the function of drawing a line perpendicular to another. The straight edge and compass also bring us back to the "opposites" from the beginning of this thread, the straight line - male, active, and the circle, feminine and passive (sometimes compared to the womb). (in Kabbalah, the only two motions in the universe are Yasher - upright, straight (line) and Igul - curved, circular.
Most metaphysical systems agree that the first thing that has to be "created", is the "space" for this creation to exist... as "nothing" is not "empty space", but the abscence of even space itself. And this creation of space is an evolution of dimensions, from none, to at least three. The Greeks have it 0 (point), 1 (line) 2 (shape - triangle) and 3 (body/corpus - tetrahedron). I've seen Islamic sources that have it Point-Line-Square-Cube. Traditional Kabbalah in my base, I guess.. It talks about the contraction to a point, and the "ray of light" that shines out (line) in "every direction", tracing out the 360 degrees of the circle (and every point in between), and the 360x360 degrees of the sphere.
All the geometry signified on the lower half is acheived with straight edge and compass - splitting a circle into two, then four.. 8, 16, etc.. And 6/12/24 etc. So you have the planets travelling along the 12 signs of the ecliptic plane, which is just a band of the ecliptic sphere, and the 24 hour rotation of the "celestial sphere" based on the rotation of the earth/axis mundi.
Six and twelve (sorry these are crappy I just quickly resized what I had already created)
and bisecting the 12 angles for 24:
the rotation of the earth/celestial sphere divided into 24 parts.. 12 hours day, 12 hours night:
Here's a favorite image of mine, derived I'm sure from the Prima Materia diagram:
It had a caption beside it, which badly translated comes out to something like:
"This is to observe that everything that Master/Magician [Artifex] learns or wants to start in this high art. Let the Balance, the right-hand line [The square in his left hand], and the circle [the compass in his right hand] be well observed; so there is nothing unequal, nothing crooked, nothing out of the circle. That means that everything out of one thing should be put into one thing, like it is sufficiently shown in this cabalistic figure. And that the highest must simply be put into the meanest and the meanest put into the lowest and therefore linked and connected to each other & e contrà."
Here's another image (from 1510) that illustrates a lot of what I mentioned.. The decad, the square, the compass, the balance.. the sun and moon. 12 hours day, 12 hours of night, and the 4 elements:
As I said, I totally missed/skipped this part about Fuxi and Nuwa the first times reading this.. I had only concerned myself with the Prima Materia part and planned to reply sometime in the future..
The inscription you quote below mentions the "ten thousand things" again.. I assume this means "multiplicity" or "differentiation"? I recognized it from something I included in my first reply in this thread, and links back to the Greek tetrad, 1-4 being responsible for all that come after:
Dao gives birth to One
One gives birth to Two
Two give birth to Three
Three give birth to ten-thousand things
"He who understands earth is a wise man, and he who understands heaven is a sage. Knowledge is derived from the straight line shadow, and that is derived from the right angled joint. The combination of the right angle with numbers is what guides and rules the ten thousand things."
Chinese tomb inscription.
So here's the synchronicity.. I had a bit of time to kill, so on Amazon Prime Video I decided to watch an episode of this show called "Numbers" (Five numbers that changed the world). The first episode was about Pi. Except the first part wasn't really about Pi at all.. It started with that painting of Fuxi and Nuwa. Actually, a slightly different version of the painting..
The program states that the Astana cemetary was at the "westernmost frontier" of China (at the time), and the edge of an arid desert (part of the Silk Road), and that Astana means "The place of rest" in the Uyghur language... where the long journey of life ends. In makes sense.. its where the sun sets, and (vegetative) life ends at the desert. This land was used by the aristocrats of early Tang and Kaochang to bury their dead for 500 years - from approx. 400-800a.d. The painting itself is estimated to date from between 300-500a.d.
The program goes on to say that Fuxi and Nuwa are the male and female creator-gods, said to have created the world, and also the sun, moon and stars.
Then it goes off on a tangent.. to 2000 years ago, and a "very important day for the Emperor". The feudal lords have gathered at the final month of the year, to receive from the Emperor, the "Sun of Heaven", the new calendar.. in other words, he bestows "Time" upon them. And how the rules that govern civilization all start with "Time". Then it brings up "the oldest book of astronomy" in the world, specifically two images of circle and square. This circle and square are reminiscent ofthe ruler and compass held by Fuxi and Nuwa.
"what are the rules? Without these rules we cannot create circles or rectangles (square)". The circle and rectangle (square) symbolize the Heavens and Earth. The Heavens are a circle, and the Earth is a rectangle (square). To paraphrase the program: "Before clocks, the only way to keep track of time is through the heavens. Only the Emperor was allowed to observe the Heavens. And so watching the sun, moon and stars, the Emperor wondered how he could measure those circles".
You mentioned squaring the circle.. which would be somewhere inbetween those two images from the book (square on inside and square on outside of the circle), and sure enough, the program then gets into that, then calculating the area of circles and circumferences and the search for Pi.
The following is cribbed together from some quick wikipedia research:
"Pangu was said to be the creation god in Chinese mythology. He was a giant sleeping within an egg of chaos. As he awoke, he stood up and divided the sky and the earth. Pangu then died after standing up, and his body turned into rivers, mountains, plants, animals, and everything else in the world, among which is a powerful being known as Hua Hsu.[clarification needed] Hua Hsu gave birth to a twin brother and sister, Fuxi and Nüwa. Fuxi and Nüwa are said to be creatures that have faces of human and bodies of snakes."
"Nüwa, also read Nügua, is the mother goddess of Chinese mythology, the sister and wife of Fuxi, the emperor-god. She is credited with creating mankind and repairing the Pillar of Heaven.[1]"
..bringing us back to the Axis Mundi. "Nuwa Mends the Heavens" is a well known theme in Chinese culture:
"The Huainanzi tells an ancient story about how the four pillars that support the sky crumbled inexplicably. Other sources have tried to explain the cause, i.e. the battle between Gong Gong and Zhuanxu or Zhu Rong. Unable to accept his defeat, Gong Gong deliberately banged his head onto Mount Buzhou (不周山) which was one of the four pillars. Half of the sky fell which created a gaping hole and the earth itself was cracked; the earth's axis mundi was tilted into the southeast while the sky rose into the northwest. This is said to be the reason why the western region of China is higher than the eastern and that most of its rivers flow towards the southeast. This same explanation is applied to the sun, moon, and stars which moved into the northwest. A wildfire burnt the forests and led the wild animals to run amok and attack the innocent peoples, while the water which was coming out from the earth's crack didn't seem to be slowing down.[4]
Nüwa pitied the humans she had made and attempted to repair the sky. She gathered five colored-stones (red, yellow, blue, black, and white) from the riverbed, melted them and used them to patch up the sky: since then the sky (clouds) have been colorful. She then killed a giant turtle (or tortoise), some version named the tortoise as Ao, cut off the four legs of the creature to use as new pillars to support the sky. But Nüwa didn't do it perfectly because the unequal length of the legs made the sky tilt. After the job was done,drove away the wild animals, extinguished the fire, and controlled the flood with a huge amount of ashes from the burning reeds. The world became as peaceful as it was before."
"Before the two of them got married, they lived on mount K'un-lun. A prayer was made after the two became guilty of falling for each other. The prayer is as follows,
"Oh Heaven, if Thou wouldst send us forth as man and wife, then make all the misty vapor gather. If not, then make all the misty vapor disperse."[11]
Misty vapor then gathered after the prayer signifying the two could marry. When intimate, the two made a fan out of grass to screen their faces which is why during modern day marriages, the couple hold a fan together. By connecting, the two were representative of Yin and Yang; Fuxi being connected to Yang and masculinity along Nüwa being connected to Yin and femininity. This is further defined with Fuxi receiving a carpenter's square which symbolizes his identification with the physical world because a carpenter's square is associated with straight lines and squares leading to a more straightforward mindset. Meanwhile, Nüwa was given a compass to symbolize her identification with the heavens because a compass is associated with curves and circles leading to a more abstract mindset. With the two being married, it symbolized the union between heaven and Earth.[11] Other versions have Nüwa invent the compass rather than receive it as a gift.[13]"
I assume this marriage happens before they "create".
Comparing with the first half, the geometry is still important in the Chinese system even though there are significant differences. The basic system has 12 signs as well... Although its not based on the Solar Year, but on the orbital period of Jupiter (~12 years). That's Jupiter's "solar year", or orbit around the ecliptic plane. Like the Western Zodiac, these signs are grouped into triplicities (trines, which I haven't researched enough to understand) and also by the 5 elements.
The significance of Jupiter is not hard for me to reconcile, since for a long time, Jupiter (Zeus-pater) had perhaps the most prominent role in Western Astrology. "Ruler of Heaven".. "Father of the Gods", "King", etc. (the 36 decans were also formerly far more important than they are today).
"The Ruler of Heaven is Jupiter; and through the intermediary of heaven he dispenses life to all beings. (Possibly an earlier statement that it is breath or spiritus which keeps life in all the beings of the world relates to this supremacy of Jupiter, the god of Air.)
Jupiter occupies a place intermediary between heaven and earth. The Sun, or Light, for it is through the intermediary of the solar circle that light is spread to all. The Sun illuminates the other stars not so much by the power of his light as by his divinity and sanctity. He must be held as the second god. The world is living and all things in it are alive and it is the sun which governs all living things."
The Chinese yearly calendar is divided into 24 "solar terms":
"The points are spaced 15° apart along the ecliptic[2] and are used by lunisolar calendars to stay synchronized with the seasons, which is crucial for agrarian societies. The solar terms are also used to calculate intercalary months in East Asian calendars;[3] which month is repeated depends on the position of the sun at the time. According to the Book of Documents, the first determined term was the Winter Solstice, also named Dongzhi by Zhou Gong, while he was trying to locate the geological center of his kingdom, by measuring the length of the sun's shadow on an ancient timekeeper instrument named Tu Gui (土圭).[4] Then four terms of seasons were set, which were soon evolved as eight terms; until 104 B. C. in the book Taichu Calendar, the entire 24 solar terms were officially included in Chinese calendar.[5]
Because the Sun's speed along the ecliptic varies depending on the Earth-Sun distance, the number of days that it takes the Sun to travel between each pair of solar terms varies slightly throughout the year. Each solar term is divided into three pentads [ja] (候 hòu) (ja), so there are 72 pentads in a year. Each pentad consists of five, rarely six, days, and are mostly named after phenological (biological or botanical) phenomena corresponding to the pentad."
And although it starts out with a 12 year cycle, the year is still broken down into months, weeks, days, hours like in Western Astrology:
In Chinese astrology the animal signs assigned by year represent how others perceive you or how you present yourself. It is a common misconception that the animals assigned by year are the only signs, and many Western descriptions of Chinese astrology draw solely on this system. In fact, there are also animal signs assigned by month (called "inner animals"), by day (called "true animals") and hours (called "secret animals"). The Earth is all 12 signs, 5 seasons."
This is just a bit of "speculation" on the Fuxi/Nuwa tangent... The bits about the Emperor being the only one allowed to observe the heavens and bestow time/the calendar to his subjects is pretty much standard in these societies where the knowledge is kept by a special group of high priests and suppressed among the common people. It especially reminds me of Egypt. Add to that the multiple roles of Nuwa (wife, sister) also sounds very egyptian with their Husband/Father/Son and Wife/Mother/Daughter multiple (often confusing) roles. This is echoed, I believe, in some of the Kabbalistic symbolism of Keter/Tiferet and Binah/Shekhinah(Malkut).
The "misty vapor" sounds like a combination of two Egyptian dieties: Shu (Egyptian for "emptiness" and "he who rises up"). Shu is Air: Fog and clouds were also Shu's elements and they were often called his bones. Because of his position between the sky and earth, he was also known as the wind; and his sister, Tefnut" Literally translating as "That Water",[2] the name Tefnut has been linked to the verb 'tfn' meaning 'to spit'[3] and versions of the creation myth say that Ra (or Atum) spat her out and her name was written as a mouth spitting in late texts.
These were the first dieties, the children of Iusaaset, "the great one who comes forth", described as the grandmother of all deities". She was associated with the acacia tree, considered the "Tree of Life" to the egyptians. And Atum:
Atum's name is thought to be derived from the verb tm which means 'to complete' or 'to finish'. Thus he has been interpreted as being the "complete one" and also the finisher of the world, which he returns to watery chaos at the end of the creative cycle. As creator he was seen as the underlying substance of the world, the deities and all things being made of his flesh or alternatively being his ka.[5]
In the Heliopolitan creation myth, Atum was considered to be the first god, having created himself, sitting on a mound (benben) (or identified with the mound itself), from the primordial waters (Nu).[6] Early myths state that Atum created the god Shu and goddess Tefnut by spitting them out of his mouth.[7] Atum did so through masturbation, with the hand he used in this act representing the female principle inherent within him.[8] Other interpretations state that he has made union with his shadow.[9]

Never gave this too much thought, but now that you mention it, "squaring" (earth) the circle (heaven) can also have a very direct Alchemical interpretation, i.e. converting the heaven (Spirit?) into Earth (matter), as the Emerald Tablet suggests. In other words, "Squaring the Circle" = "Making the Spirit flesh".

Thank you Greg, this was exactly what I was hoping for, now I hope with this amazing puzzling of the secrets many on this forum will understand Taoist and Qi Gongs connection with Alchemy and as I will hope to add later a strong similarity (if not direct relationship) in Taoist Magical practices with Goetic, Solomonic and Ceremonial Magic. But that is another topic.
Indeed, the Xian or immortal is the master of breathing arts who has married heaven and earth. The person who has transformed the leaden earthly body into the heavenly recepticle.
"He who understands earth is a wise man, and he who understands heaven is a sage."
Andro basically laid it out the Chinese connection lol
There is a thread here in Mithraism and Indo-Iranian or Persian myth, as well so I am glad you brought up the Islamic Ibn Arabi source.
The squared circle is connected to more, and I hope this catches some people's attention because I would hate to spoil the exciting experience of opening those new doors of knowledge.
It's also the symbol for Noah's ark. And when you add the missing lines at the gap, you'll see what kind of container and substance that is to achieve that goal.
I really only get into involved replies from my desktop.. and even then I type into notepad and copy/paste when I'm done. I've been burnt by online editors too often.
All the Chinese material is new to me, but I am aware of these ideas from different schools. Kabbalah, Hermeticism, Gnostic, Sufi, etc. I could go on about Tiferet in the tree of life, half-way between Malkut (Earth) and Keter (Heaven), the star of david with its interlocked upward and down facing triangles... The male/female "aspects of god".. all that good stuff. But I'm weak on the Chinese and Indian (Brahamism/Hinduism/Jainism). And not that I dismissed them, but because you can spend a life time studying either one.
But here's a couple of versions of Heaven/Earth man, as I know him:
I talked to a guy on facebook awhile ago.. Paul Martyn-Smith. He's done on a lot of work on the math/number theory of the I Ching (Ho Tu, Lo Shu? I dunno).. I know he has a paper up on Scribd "The Judgement's and Law's of the Sacred Mountain". Discussing these things with him, he said:
"The Sacred Mountain is described as a diamond - half above the field (or waters) and half below. It arose up out of the water, and on top a tree grew, and then garden on its sides. From a Tibetan narrative."
I haven't been able to a source (for example, the tibetan narrative) that supports this claim, but it was pretty interesting to me.
Since posting my replies, I came across this.. From Christian de Medices' "Consurus Philosophorum":
It's interesting because it has the 1 and the 3 in the caption again:
Superiora si unum et tria egerint in unum et tria inferiora res unum et tria inferiora egerint in unum et tria superiora. Tunc beneficio Azoth.
Uni, et Trini Superioris et inferioris habetis unum et trinum superioris et inferioris perfectum
I've broken this down into different fragments in a variety of ways, feeding into machine translator, and am not really happy with any of the results although I believe I understand the gist of it. Maybe Zoas will see this and offer a translation. It's not unrelated to the discussion here: http://forum.alchemyforums.com/showt...um-(Madathanus)
Well I've been getting my Ibn Arabi sources in order, and decided to check my usual places for other books, and did a bunch of downloading. I have renamed them, checked to make sure they were OCR'd (in other words, I haven't read them or even browsed them yet), and here's something I've already seen in "Ibn Arabi - Time and Cosmology" by Mohamed Haj Yousef:
And it's list of diagrams:
..it would seem I know what I'm talking about sometimes.
Of course, Islam inherited from the Egyptians, Greeks, Jews, Indians, Chinese, and Persians.

The triangle to square breaks down as:
4:3 in the number of sides, perfect 4th
90:60 in the angles, reducing to 3:2, the perfect 5th.

Crafted jewellery with Australian opals natural gemstones.
Crafted Jewellery With Natural Opals.
Crafted jewellery opal ring handmade.
Australian opals 100% natural gemstones for crafted jewellery.
Crafted jewellery with solid Australian natural opal gemstones, guaranteed 100% money back if the opals are ever found otherwise not to be an Australian opal. Gold these days seems to be a great investment always going up and opals and gemstones so you can resell for profit by many ways, including today's World Wide Web on eBay or Alibaba website, there are many different gold sites and jewellery sites. There always and will still be the traditional sale methods for crafted jewellery at boutiques jewellery shops, and gem and jewellery trade shows. Many good quality crafted jewellery and gemstones are handed down to love once and often later in life if people have financial difficulties, this type of inheritance can help your next of kin get out of the problem. Currency money regardless of what country we are talking about seems to be up and down and mostly down a lot more these days, American dollar problems and bonds and of course bit coins are cider coins so do they have any true value maybe buying a coffee, but if you lose your password you lose your asset in bit coins. But gold jewellery with a beautiful opal and diamond are solid assets as rain and time will never damage gold or silver or sapphires or a beautiful ruby etc.
Opal ring crafted jewellery with Australian opal in the black opal group N2 bodytone contrary to the certificate rating of natural opal.
Crafted jewellery opal ring custom-made.
Cleaning method if the stone is not a solid stone like a doublet opal which is a natural thin layer of Crystal opal glued on to a darker background to either strengthen or inhands and make the colours more intense and beautiful.
To avoid damaging the glue never use jewellery cleaning chemicals or water on the opal, and never soke opal rings or jewellery items either in solution. Best method for crafted jewellery with opals, is using a cotton bud you can apply chemicals to the gold or the silver but never to the stone, leave chemical on jewellery 15 minutes about then wipe the chemical off, or if you used soapy water with a clean tissue dry and clean the ring from all detergent and stains.
Then proceed with a new and cleaner tissue and go through the procedure again, after this make sure you have a very clean cloth and polish the jewellery and you are done.
But now for the opal this time only clean the gemstone by fogging the opal with your breath and immediately with new very clean tissue that came out of the packet only polishing the opal, repeat a few times with cleaner new tissue every time.
Always work close to the ground and always make sure there is a rug under wear you are working so if you drop the crafted opal jewellery or a crafted opal ring, you will not damage the opal gemstone on the hard floor.
Crafted jewellery opal rings take care of your investment.
Crafted jewellery with solid opals cleaning method, with a cotton bud you can apply chemicals to the gold ring or the silver jewellery but never apply any chemicals at all to the opal gemstone, leave chemical for 15 minutes about then wipe the chemical off, but if you're soaking in soapy water you can leave for longer, yes solid stones are okay to soak.
But hey i did not say drop your jewellery into chemical solution of any kind including turp's or thiner, this will most likely not make a problem for Australian opal, but can seriously damage Ethiopian opals.
Please if the ring is very dirty only on the crafted ring jewellery use a soft toothbrush to remove hard tarnish from the gold or silver part of the ring only, never on the opal. Ok now removed jewellery from the warm water "but never use hot or cold water". With a clean tissue clean ring but not the opal, then proceed with the cloth and remove the chemical a second time then polish with a cleaner tissue.
Now how to clean the opal only with a new dry tissue, discard any tissue left out of the packet and with the new tissue clean the opal only, repeat with a cleaner new tissue a second time and fog the opal with your breath and immediately with new tissue again start polishing after this you should be finished. If the solid opal gemstone is still greasy or dirty still, then only use this method as last resort.
Get some good quality body alcohol rub and applied to a clean cloth and start wiping the opal and immediately use a second cleaner tissue or cloth, you can repeat with the body rub alcohol second time if still not clean, and then soak immediately in water for one minute, take the solid opal out of the water and go through normal cleaning procedure with dry cleaning tissue.
Please do not forget work close to the floor surface and make sure there is carpet something soft under wear you are cleaning the crafted jewellery or opal ring, so if you drop the jewellery you will not make any problem or damage the crafted jewellery in particular the gemstone on the hard floor surface. | {

The handloom industry is crying foul as the Union Budget 2018-19 decided to slash the fund allocation from INR 604 Crore to INR 386.09 Crore. The entire industry has strongly criticized the government for such decision.
The handloom industry is already limping due to the back to back amendment of demonetization and GST. The representatives said that more than 1 Crore Indians earn their bread and butter by working in the handloom industry.
The reduction of fund allocation for the limping industry by almost one third can prove to be a drastic decision made by the government. The handmade products are already facing a huge threat from the assembly-line products in the market. Without the aid of the government, it will become very difficult for the industry to continue working and survive in the cutthroat competition.
Reddy added that the schemes have been cut down considerably. This will bring despair throughout the industry in the country. If the cost of the raw material is raised then the entire industry will face a big downfall within a year. On the other hand, it has been found that the industry is helplessly borrowing money at heavy interest rates to clear the debts. | {

I'm finally getting a chance to write a review for one of my favorite beaches . Ocean beach has the longest pier on the West Coast , I absolutely love Ocean Beach... it definitely has one of the best sunsets I've ever encountered. There's very limited parking but you can find parking near by and walk around . There's lots of cute restaurants & bars and coffee shops in the surrounding area . It's a great place for everyone to explore and it's pet friend.If you have time if highly suggest you also check out Sunset cliffs and OB Dog Park . One of my favorite places to eat would be Newport pizza . Everything is in walking distance also . Everyone is beyond friendly in that town .
By mid-morning, all the seafront beach chairs were overlaid with people or place-saving towels, so I checked out the upstairs sundeck. For such a large complex, the sandy beach was actually quite narrow, just a spit of sand ringing the wading pool in front of the sea. It reminded me of million-dollar Malibu beachfront homes where erosion has taken almost all of the sand, leaving behind just the idea of a beach. Still, I wasn't immune to the satisfaction of being in a bikini in the indoor-outdoor world while regular, old February raged on outside, and there was a particular joy in swiping sand from my ankles as I readjusted.
9:30am moderate 3 hrs Beverages
It might come as a surprise but snorkeling is actually more floating than swimming. A general rule to stick by is to not use your hands. Fold them across your chest to help keep you warm. Float, glide, and direct yourself using your fins. Swim at a pace that allows you to breathe normally. Snorkeling is supposed to be a relaxing activity. Remember, if you're out of breath and flailing like a whale, you are most likely doing something wrong. If you're not a strong swimmer/floater, there is nothing wrong with using a life jacket. Using any sort of floatation device also helps you focus on your breathing, allowing you to fully relax.
Come in and discover the delights of Tropical Islands. Stroll along the sandy beach by the Tropical Sea, join an expedition through the Tropical Rainforest, relax in the Tropical Sauna & Spa Complex, experience exciting attractions for kids, have fun with the whole family, taste the wonderful food and enjoy some first-class entertainment. You will also find that we have various accommodation options for you.
Great list, and having been to half these places I can say we have similar tastes in locales. Regarding Costa Rica, there's another beach town option a bit up the coast from Santa Teresa called Nosara, which I'd recommend checking out for its mix of yoga and surfing. Wi-Fi is pretty slow though, at just 1Mbps in the cafes. Is it the same in Santa Teresa? I will say that having been there just last year, Costa Rica (or at least Nosara) has poor bang for the buck — basically US prices but in a developing country. We couldn't find a meal there for less than $7.
Modern designs use silicone rubber in the mouthpiece and one-way clearing and float valves due to its resistance to degradation and its long service life. Natural rubber was formerly used, but slowly oxidizes and breaks down due to ultraviolet light exposure from the sun. It eventually loses its flexibility, becomes brittle and cracks, which can cause clearing valves to stick in the open or closed position, and float valves to leak due to a failure of the valve seat to seal. In even older designs, some snorkels were made with small "ping pong" balls in a cage mounted to the open end of the tube to prevent water ingress. These are no longer sold or recommended because they are unreliable and considered hazardous. Similarly, diving masks with a built-in snorkel are considered unsafe by scuba diving organizations such as PADI, BSAC because they can engender a false sense of security and can be difficult to clear if flooded.
9:00am-6:00pm low 1 hr
Captain Hook's offers diving and snorkeling trips in the Keys at both of our store locations in Big Pine Key and Marathon. We work everyday to make ourselves the best dive and snorkel operator in the Keys. Our professional staff stands ready to show you the fascinating marine life and environment of the Keys. Here are some of the things we do that are different from other dive operators.
While you will need a respectable budget, if you give Bermuda a chance you'll find an island home to some of the most beautiful beaches in all of North America and the Caribbean. The locals are incredibly friendly people and you can find some world-class food here too. To keep you busy, there is tons of snorkeling, some caves to explore, lots of hiking, and tons more!
Women in athletics often wear bikinis of similar size as those worn in beach volleyball. Amy Acuff, a US high-jumper, wore a black leather bikini instead of a track suit at the 2000 Summer Olympics.[198] Runner Florence Griffith-Joyner mixed bikini bottoms with one-legged tights at the 1988 Summer Olympics, earning her more attention than her record-breaking performance in the women's 200 meters event.[199] In the 2007 South Pacific Games, the rules were adjusted to allow players to wear less revealing shorts and cropped sports tops instead of bikinis.[200] At the West Asian Games in 2006, organizers banned bikini-bottoms for female athletes and asked them to wear long shorts.[201]
From the 1950s to mid-1970s, men's contest formats were often supplemented with women's beauty contests or bikini shows. The winners earned titles like Miss Body Beautiful, Miss Physical Fitness and Miss Americana, and also presented trophies to the winners of the men's contest.[194] In the 1980s, the Ms Olympia competition started in the US and in the UK the NABBA (National Amateur Body Building Association) renamed Miss Bikini International to Ms Universe. In 1986, the Ms Universe competition was divided into two sections – "physique" (for a more muscular physique) and "figure" (traditional feminine presentation in high heels).[195] In November 2010 the IFBBF (International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness) introduced a women's bikini contest for women who do not wish to build their muscles to figure competition levels.[196]
"[L]andscapes are cultures before they are nature—constructs of the imagination projected onto wood and water and rock," Simon Schama wrote in 1995. In 2019, the quote appeared in the introduction to John Berger's Landscapes, which I'd finally found time to read in a zero-gravity lounge chair overlooking the sea. But it wasn't just any sea. The water was really water but not the salty kind, instead of a sandy bottom there was stainless steel flooring and, from the horizon, a gigantic canvas screen-printed with a photo of a blue sky rose up. Outside the dome, the sun had broken through clouds; inside, it filtered through a UV screen. I applied more sunscreen to my face. I considered taking a dip.
Crochet bikinis are big this season. Shop our wide range of bikinis to look super on-trend on your beach holiday. Our crochet swimwear comes in many colours and styles to suit your taste. Show off your tan in a bold shade or go for a classic colour for a subtle but stylish look. Style your crochet bikini with a kaftan and sandals to ensure your style game is on point.
The scuba diving equipment is more complex and heavier compared to that of snorkeling. It comprises a pressurized gas tank filled with Enriched Air Nitrox with extra oxygen: 36% oxygen and therefore less nitrogen to reduce decompression sickness. In the "single-hose" two-stage design, the first stage regulator reduces the cylinder pressure of about 200 bar (3000 psi) to an intermediate level of about 10 bar (145 psi). The second stage demand valve regulator, connected via a low pressure hose to the first stage, delivers the breathing gas at the correct ambient pressure to the diver's mouth and lungs. The diver's exhaled gases are exhausted directly to the environment as waste. The first stage typically has at least one outlet delivering breathing gas at unreduced tank pressure. This is connected to the diver's pressure gauge or computer, in order to show how much breathing gas remains.
In this section, usage of the term "snorkel" denotes single or multiple tubular devices integrated with, and opening into, a swim or dive mask, while the term "snorkel-mask" is used to designate a swim or dive mask with single or multiple built-in snorkels. Such snorkels from the past typically comprised a tube for breathing and a means of connecting the tube to the space inside the snorkel-mask. The tube had an aperture with a shut-off valve at the top and opened at the bottom into the mask, which might cover the mouth as well as the nose and eyes. Although such snorkels tended to be permanent fixtures on historical snorkel-masks, a minority could be detached from their sockets and replaced with plugs enabling certain snorkel-masks to be used without their snorkels (see Figure 10).
We know bikinis aren't a one size fits all type of item which is why we design a variety of bikinis for women that can compliment any body type. We want you to be proud of the figure you're flaunting this summer and a bikini that complements all of your natural curves is just what you need to stay confident in the skin you're in. If you're a believer that less is more, a micro bikini is the perfect option for you this summer. Enjoy catching some rays and working on your tan with minimal interruption from tan lines. If you're a fan of slightly more coverage, opt for a high waisted bikini to keep you looking on-trend and feeling comfortable. A high waisted bikini is a great choice for a day at the beach or pool and can even be paired well with a cute sundress for an afternoon beachy look. Sporty or stylish, a sexy bikini is always an option to spice your style the next time you hit the beach. You can never go wrong with feeling sexy and confident as you head out for your next surf session. Whatever bikini style you're comfortable with, ROXY has options that will keep your summer style game on point. | {

Thomas M. Menino, the longest-serving mayor in Boston's history, has died. He served as mayor from 1993 until 2013.
Thomas Michael Menino, who insisted a mayor doesn't need a grand vision to lead, then went on to shepherd Boston's economy and shape the skyline and the very identity of the city he loved through an unprecedented five consecutive terms in City Hall, died Thursday. He was 71 and was diagnosed with advanced cancer not long after leaving office at the beginning of this year.
"Visionaries don't get things done,'' he once said, crisply separating himself from politicians who gaze at distant horizons and imagine what might be. Leaving to others the lofty rhetoric of Boston as the Athens of America, he took a decidedly ground-level view of the city on a hill, earning himself a nickname for his intense focus on the nuts and bolts of everyday life: the urban mechanic.

There are many MANY Christians in the world who claim to love JESUS, yet they are stockpiling guns and ammunition.
Please read this short article very slowly!
I am writing this because I continue to believe that US Christians are being "driven" toward something very ugly. There is a lot of nasty rhetoric flying around that is the very opposite of Christ-like. Some in America are trying to get the Christians all riled up about not being allowed to own "assault rifles" and the like. But what is so "Christian" about owning guns anyway?
Personally, I neither love nor hate guns. I used to go hunting and I owned a .22 and a 6.5 Mauser (which kicked like a mule). But they are long gone. I also have US friends with Glocks and M-16s and things – fun to do some target shooting with – but I wouldn't want to own one. Guns to me are neither to be loved nor hated. And certainly they are nothing to do with "Christian rights" or anything of the kind.
We have spoken before about the dangers of mixing Christianity with "nationalism" – of wrapping the Bible in the flag – and calling it 'orthodox' Christianity. This stuff is not just dangerous – it is deadly. There have been countless wars and countless millions killed down the centuries by this very thing. Mixing "patriotism" with Christianity and using that to motivate people – to get them riled up and mad enough to go "fight" somebody or riot in the streets, or whatever. Hitler used just this kind of patriotism to get himself elected. And I see this very same anger rising amongst some Christian conservatives in America. You are being "driven" toward something – and it is very ugly.
Every Christian should know that our home is in heaven – not in any particular "nation." Our allegiance is towards GOD'S kingdom, not any kingdom on this earth. So let me very clearly spell it out.
This photo is extremely BLASPHEMOUS! A true child of GOD should have absolutely nothing to do with guns, ammunition, or pride in what country they live in! We belong to the kingdom of GOD now!!!!!!!!!
-Saluting the flag is not a "Christian" activity.
-Singing the national anthem REAL LOUD is not a Christian activity.
-Being armed to the teeth is not a "Christian" activity.
-War-mongering is not a "Christian" activity.
-"Supporting the troops" is not a particularly 'Christian' activity.
-Angrily fighting for your taxes is not a "Christian" activity.
-Shouting and getting 'nasty' over Politics is not a Christian activity.
-Constantly bad-mouthing the president is not a Christian activity - whether you agree with him or not.
-In fact, a lot of this involves behavior that is totally "anti" Christian.
-And despite being a great political document, the US Constitution is not a "Christian" document, and therefore fighting and screaming and name-calling over that document is not a "Christian" activity either. True Christians do not stand or fall by the US Constitution. They stand or fall by the actual word of God. And that is the only piece of writing that they should ever get so stirred up about.
Friends – we have a great mixing of Nationalism and Religion going on. And it is getting uglier and uglier.
Now, let me ask you some honest questions here. Have you been guilty of fighting or agitating over these things in the "flesh"? I say, "REPENT." And are you guilty of slandering or bad-mouthing the president of your country in a way that is totally UN-Christlike? Again I say, "REPENT!" There is no excuse for a follower of Jesus behaving that way.
We are not supposed to be in a "war" over all this stuff. We are supposed to be focused on ETERNAL things – the only things worth fighting about. So let us forget these earthly "distractions" and concentrate on the things that really matter.
As I have said before, it is time to change the channel and turn OFF the voices of the "agitators" before they get you all riled up about the next 'issue.' And it is time to go out and fight for the gospel and the souls of men – the things that can REALLY make a difference in the nation. Politics can never bring about the 'heart' change that is so desperately needed. Revival is what America truly needs! So let us fight for that – and leave the ungodly to fight for their "guns" and their "rights." We are of a different kingdom. My friends, let us not forget it. | {

Benzodiazepines are the most prescribed anxiolytics and are used by a broad population. However, benzodiazepines can cause unwanted side effects, including sedation, development of tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms after long-term administration. Rupprecht et al. (p. 490; published online 18 June) now find that a translocator protein (18-kD) ligand, XBD173, is a fast-acting anxiolytic agent, both in animals and humans, which lacks the unwanted side effects of benzodiazepines and provides a promising target for novel clinically effective anxiolytic drugs.
Most antianxiety drugs (anxiolytics) work by modulating neurotransmitters in the brain. Benzodiazepines are fast and effective anxiolytic drugs; however, their long-term use is limited by the development of tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Ligands of the translocator protein [18 kilodaltons (kD)] may promote the synthesis of endogenous neurosteroids, which also exert anxiolytic effects in animal models. Here, we found that the translocator protein (18 kD) ligand XBD173 enhanced γ-aminobutyric acid–mediated neurotransmission and counteracted induced panic attacks in rodents in the absence of sedation and tolerance development. XBD173 also exerted antipanic activity in humans and, in contrast to benzodiazepines, did not cause sedation or withdrawal symptoms. Thus, translocator protein (18 kD) ligands are promising candidates for fast-acting anxiolytic drugs with less severe side effects than benzodiazepines.
Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent disabling disorders (1) that frequently turn into chronic clinical conditions (2). Benzodiazepines such as diazepam are fast-acting and effective antianxiety agents (3–5) and the most commonly prescribed anxiolytics. However, their side effects such as sedation and, following chronic administration, development of tolerance, consecutive abuse liability, and withdrawal symptoms render their use problematic in the long-term treatment of anxiety disorders (2–4). Currently, antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are first-line treatment for most anxiety disorders. However, their anxiolytic effects occur only after several weeks of treatment (2–4). Thus, there is need for anxiolytic agents that retain the rapid anxiolytic potential of benzodiazepines but lack their unfavorable side effects.
Neurosteroids are synthesized from cholesterol or steroidal precursors and modulate neurotransmitter receptors (6–8). Ring A–reduced neurosteroids are endogenous metabolites of the hormone progesterone and potent positive allosteric modulators of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors, which mediate the effects of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in the mammalian nervous system (6–8). They exert pronounced anxiolytic effects in animal models (9–11), and their concentrations are reduced during panic attacks in patients with panic disorder (12, 13). Thus, neurosteroidogenic compounds might represent a previously undiscovered anxiolytic principle. The translocator protein (18 kD), formerly called peripheral or mitochondrial benzodiazepine receptor, is mainly located in the outer mitochondrial membrane and favors the transport of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane, ultimately promoting neurosteroid synthesis (14, 15). Certain ligands of this protein have been shown to enhance neurosteroidogenesis in the brain (16–18) and to exert acute anxiolytic/anticonflict activity in rodent models (17–20). However, so far no data are available as to whether such compounds act as anxiolytics also in humans or whether they lack tolerance development and withdrawal effects.
XBD173 binds to the translocator protein (18 kD) with nanomolar affinity and shows negligible affinity to a broad range of neurotransmitter receptors, including GABAA receptors (19).
At the cellular level, we examined whether XBD173 modulates the GABA-induced response in human WSS1 cells expressing rat α1γ2 and human β3 GABAA receptor subunits. In contrast to diazepam, XBD173 did not enhance GABA-evoked chloride currents (fig. S1, A to C). However, in mouse neocortical slices XBD173 potentiated GABA-mediated (GABAergic) neurotransmission (Fig. 1A, fig. S2D, and table S1A), which was prevented by the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride (Fig. 1B). This is in line with the induction of neurosteroidogenesis after XBD173 administration (fig. S1D). Thus, the enhancement of GABAergic neurotransmission by XBD173 in vivo is mediated indirectly through the generation of GABAergic neurosteroids.
Effects of XBD173 and diazepam on GABAergic neurotransmission in slices of the medial prefrontal cortex. The mean amplitude of all recorded inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) in the absence of compounds was 26.0 ± 2.7 pA with a decay time constant (τ) of 27.8 ± 2.8 ms, and the mean charge was 1.5 ± 0.7 pC (mean ± SEM) (n = 54 neurons). (A to C) (Left) Individual response amplitudes during the course of a representative experiment. (Middle) Averaged traces from all consecutive IPSCs for the control experiments and in the presence of 5 μM XBD173, 10 μM finasteride and 5 μM XBD173, or 1 μM diazepam. Compounds were applied for at least 20 min at the indicated concentrations before IPSCs were recorded. (Right) Averaged data (mean ± SEM) of all experiments (n = 6 to 8 neurons). (A) Effects of XBD173. The effect of XBD173 was monitored with whole-cell recordings and minimal stimulation. XBD173 increases the amplitude and charge and prolongs the decay of GABAA receptor–mediated synaptic transmission (table S1A). (B) Antagonism of the effects of XBD173 by finasteride. (C) Effects of diazepam. Diazepam increases the amplitude and charge of GABAA receptor–mediated synaptic transmission. Electrophysiological data were analyzed by the t test for paired samples. *P < 0.05, as compared with control experiments.
XBD173 exerted acute anxiolytic effects, which were prevented by the translocator protein (18 kD) antagonist PK11195 (fig. S3, A and B), in the social exploration test in rats and the elevated plus maze test (table S2). To address tolerance development, we administered XBD173 to rats twice daily for 5 days. Its anxiolytic activity in the social exploration test was fully retained with this subchronic administration (fig. S3A). Next, we explored whether XBD173 could counteract lactate- or cholecystokinin tetrapeptide (CCK4)–induced panic in rodent paradigms, because panic-like anxiety can be experimentally induced in humans through challenge with lactate or the neuropeptide fragment CCK4 (12, 21). Both the benzodiazepine alprazolam and XBD173 effectively prevented panic behavior elicited by means of an infusion of sodium lactate in panic-prone rats (Fig. 2A). No sedation was observed after treatment with XBD173, whereas alprazolam caused a marked reduction in locomotor activity (fig. S4). Also, in the CCK4 challenge paradigm in rats both alprazolam (Fig. 2B) and XBD173 (Fig. 2C) clearly displayed antipanic properties. These preclinical studies suggest that XBD173 exerts rapid anxiolytic and antipanic effects with a more favorable side-effect profile than that of benzodiazepines.
Effects of XBD173 or alprazolam in models for pharmacologically induced panic in rats. (A) Effect of an acute pretreatment (–60 min) with XBD173 (0.1, 1, or 10 mg/kg per second orally) or alprazolam (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally) on the time spent in social interaction after an intravenous infusion of a 1 M sodium lactate solution in panic-prone rats. Bars represent the mean (±SEM) social interaction time during 5 min after the lactate challenge (n = 8 rats per group). Data were analyzed by means of restricted maximum-likelihood analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Student's t test. *P < 0.05, as compared with rats treated with vehicle and lactate. (B) Effects of alprazolam on the freezing response induced by 10 mg/kg subcutaneously CCK4. Bars represent the mean (±SEM) of the cumulated time spent freezing between 2 and 15 min after an injection of CCK4 or solvent (n = 11 rats per group). Rats were subcutaneously pretreated with either vehicle or alprazolam (0.1 mg/kg) 15 min before CCK4 or solvent injection. (C) Effects of XBD173 on the freezing response induced by 10 mg/kg subcutaneously CCK-4. Bars represent the mean (±SEM) of the cumulated time spent freezing between 2 and 10 min after an injection of CCK4 or solvent (n = 10 rats per group). Rats were orally pretreated with either vehicle or XBD173 (0.1 mg/kg) 60 min before CCK4 or solvent injection. Data were analyzed by means of Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA followed by the Mann-Whitney U test. *P < 0.001, as compared with control rats treated with vehicle and CCK4.
Next, we investigated the anxiolytic potential of XBD173 in healthy male volunteers using the CCK4 challenge. Only subjects that showed a clear panic response to the initial CCK4 challenge entered one of the five treatment arms of the study (n = 14 subjects each). Out of 85 subjects, 71 healthy volunteers were randomized to treatment for 7 consecutive days with placebo, 10, 30, or 90 mg/day XBD173 or 2 mg/day alprazolam before undergoing a second CCK4 challenge. Seventy subjects completed the study (fig. S5). Both XBD173 and alprazolam were rapidly absorbed, with peak concentrations occurring within 2.5 hours after oral administration (fig. S6). For analysis of the anxiolytic potential of XBD173 and alprazolam, the difference in the acute panic inventory (API) [area under the time curve (AUC)] between the first and the second challenge with CCK4 relative to the effects of placebo served as an efficacy parameter in this exploratory analysis (Fig. 3 and fig. S5). One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed a significant difference from placebo in attenuating CCK4-induced anxiety after both alprazolam and the highest dose of XBD173 (Fig. 3). The number of side effects reported with XBD173 was comparable to the incidence in the placebo group. In contrast, a much higher incidence was reported by the alprazolam-treated group, in particular dizziness and somnolence (table S3A). Although 57% of the subjects treated with alprazolam complained of withdrawal symptoms such as sleep disturbances or restlessness, these were almost absent in the XBD173-treated groups (table S3B). No serious adverse event occurred during the entire study, and there was no need for treatment of withdrawal symptoms. Thus, this placebo-controlled parallel group study indicates that in humans XBD173 has both anxiolytic properties and clearly fewer side effects compared with benzodiazepines.
Effects of XBD173 or alprazolam on CCK4-induced anxiety in healthy male volunteers. (A) AUC of the API score during the first and second CCK4 challenge. Boxplots represent the median equivalent to the 50th percentile (line within the boxes), the range containing all individual values above the 25th and below the 75th percentile (boxes), and the range of individual values within 150% above or below the difference between the 75th and the 25th percentile (error bars). Open circles indicate outliers located more than 150% and asterisks indicate extreme values located more than 300% of the box height above the 75th percentile. (B) Decrease in CCK4-induced anxiety (ΔAPI-AUC) after treatment with XBD173, alprazolam, or placebo in relation to baseline AUC (mean ± SEM). Asterisks indicate a significant difference against placebo for 90 mg XBD173 (P < 0.036) and alprazolam (P < 0.019) by way of ANCOVA.
Ligands of the translocator protein (18 kD) such as XBD173 may represent a pharmacological mechanism for the treatment of anxiety disorders (13). XBD173 seems to be superior to benzodiazepines because a rapid anxiolytic activity is retained in the absence of their well-known side effects (3, 4). This fast anxiolytic effect is also superior to antidepressants, which have a considerably slower onset of action (2–4). Surprisingly, withdrawal symptoms were reported after treatment with alprazolam for only 7 days. This is remarkable because prescription of benzodiazepines is recommended for up to 4 weeks (3, 4). No withdrawal symptoms were noted in the XBD173-treated subjects in spite of an anxiolytic efficacy of the 90 mg/day dose comparable to that of alprazolam, which is in line with the lack of withdrawal-induced hypophagia after chronic administration of XBD173 in mice (13). A major challenge in the development of anxiolytic compounds is the failure rate in clinical trials, even for those compounds with proven preclinical anxiolytic properties in commonly used animal models. The possibility of the challenge with sodium lactate or CCK4 in rats and humans (12, 22) may thus represent an advantage in a translational approach for evaluating anxiolytics. Although the CCK4 challenge was used as a surrogate marker, which does not allow us to draw firm conclusions on the efficacy of XBD173 in anxiety disorders, CCK4 fulfills the criteria for an ideal panicogenic agent (21, 23, 24), and the panic induction by CCK4 is sensitive to clinically effective anxiolytic agents, including benzodiazepines (24, 25).
Translocator protein (18 kD) ligands promote the biosynthesis of endogenous neurosteroids (17, 18, 26). An enhancement of GABAergic neurotransmission by neurosteroids probably accounts for the anxiolytic effects of XBD173 because anxiolytic effects of translocator protein (18 kD) ligands can be prevented by finasteride (26) and neurosteroidogenesis is increased after XBD173 administration. Moreover, XBD173 potentiated GABAergic neurotransmission in neocortical slices, and its GABA-enhancing potential was prevented by finasteride (13). Neurosteroids modulate GABAA receptors via an allosteric site different from that targeted by benzodiazepines (5, 7, 27). These distinct sites of action at the GABAA receptor might explain the lack of tolerance development and withdrawal symptoms after XBD173-induced neurosteroidogenesis. There is considerable evidence for an involvement of neurosteroids in the etiology of anxiety disorders. Neurosteroid homeostasis is altered (12, 13), and translocator protein (18 kD)–binding sites on platelets are reduced in panic disorder (28). Moreover, variations in the encoding gene may confer susceptibility to this disease (29).
XBD173 enhances GABAergic neurotransmission via induction of neurosteroidogenesis and shows anxiolytic efficacy in humans with a favorable side-effect profile, which suggests that the translocator protein (18 kD) represents a target for anxiolytic drug discovery.

MP3 Overview
April 14, 2022 April 16, 2022 homethodologyAcronyms, Technology
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, better known as MP3 according to abbreviationfinder, is a lossy compressed digital audio format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEGH) to be part of version 1 (and later extended in version 2) of the audio format. MPEG video. The standard mp3 is 144 kHz and 317 kbps bitrate for quality/size ratio. Its name is the acronym for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and the term should not be confused with MP3 player.
This format was developed mainly by Karlheinz Brandenburg, director of electronic media technologies at the Fraunhofer IIS Institute, part of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft – a network of German research centers – which, together with Thomson Multimedia, controls the bulk of MP3-related patents. The first one was recorded in 1986 and several more in 1991. But it wasn't until July 1995 that Brandenburg first used the .mp3 extension for the MP3-related files he kept on his computer. A year later his institute entered 1.2 million euros as patents. Ten years later this number has reached 26.1 million.
The MP3 format became the standard used for streaming audio and high-quality audio compression (lossy in hi-fi equipment) thanks to the possibility of adjusting the compression quality, proportional to the size per second (bitrate), and therefore the final size of the file, which could be 12 or even 15 times smaller than the original uncompressed file.
It was the first audio compression format popularized thanks to the Internet, since it made the exchange of music files possible. Legal proceedings against companies such as Napster and AudioGalaxy are the result of the ease with which this type of file is shared.
After the development of stand-alone, portable or integrated players in music chains (stereo), the MP3 format reaches beyond the world of computing.
At the beginning of 2002, other compressed audio formats such as Windows Media Audio and Ogg Vorbis began to be massively included in programs, operating systems and stand-alone players, which led to the expectation that MP3 would gradually fall into disuse, in favor of other formats, such as those mentioned, of much better quality. One of the factors influencing the decline of MP3 is that it has a patent. Technically it does not mean that its quality is inferior or superior, but it prevents the community from continuing to improve it and may force you to pay for the use of some codec, this is what happens with MP3 players. Even so, at the end of 2009, the mp3 format continues to be the most used and the most successful.
In this layer there are several differences with respect to the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards, among which is the so-called hybrid filter bank that makes its design more complex. This improvement of the frequency resolution worsens the temporal resolution introducing pre-echo problems that are predicted and corrected. Additionally, it enables audio quality at rates as low as 64 kbps.
Filter bank
The filterbank used in this layer is the so-called hybrid polyphase/MDCT filterbank. It is responsible for mapping from the time domain to the frequency domain for both the encoder and the decoder reconstruction filters. The output samples of the bank are quantized and provide a variable frequency resolution, 6×32 or 18×32 subbands, adjusting much better to the critical bands of the different frequencies. Using 18 points, the maximum number of frequency frequency components is: 32 x 18 = 576. Giving rise to a frequency resolution of: 24000/576 = 41.67 Hz (if fs = 48 kHz.). If 6 frequency lines are used, the frequency resolution is lower, but the temporal resolution is higher, and it is applied in those areas where pre-echo effects are expected (abrupt transitions from silence to high energy levels).
Layer III has three block modes of operation: two modes where the 32 filter bank outputs can pass through the windows and MDCT transforms, and a mixed block mode where the two lowest frequency bands use long blocks and the top 30 bands use short blocks. For the specific case of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (which specifically means the third audio layer for the MPEG-1 standard) it specifies four types of windows: (a) NORMAL, (b) transition from long to short window (START), (c) 3 short windows (SHORT), and (d) transition from short to long window (STOP).
The psychoacoustic model
The compression is based on the reduction of the irrelevant dynamic range, that is, on the inability of the auditory system to detect quantization errors under masking conditions. This standard divides the signal into frequency bands that approximate the critical bands, and then quantizes each subband based on the noise detection threshold within that band. The psychoacoustic model is a modification of the one used in scheme II, and uses a method called polynomial prediction. It analyzes the audio signal and calculates the amount of noise that can be introduced as a function of frequency, that is, it calculates the "masking amount" or masking threshold as a function of frequency.
The encoder uses this information to decide the best way to spend the bits.available. This standard provides two psychoacoustic models of different complexity: model I is less complex than psychoacoustic model II and greatly simplifies the calculations. Studies show that the distortion generated is imperceptible to the experienced ear in an optimal environment from 256 kbps and under normal conditions. For the inexperienced or common ear, 128 kbps or up to 96 kbps is enough to hear "good" (unless you have high-quality audio equipment where the lack of bass is excessively noticeable and the sound stands out). of "frying" in the treble). For people who listen to a lot of music or who have hearing experience, 192 or 256 kbps is enough to hear well. The music that circulates on the Internet, for the most part, is encoded between 128 and 192 kbps.
Encoding and quantification
The solution proposed by this standard regarding the distribution of bits or noise is done in an iteration cycle that consists of an internal and an external cycle. Examines both the output samples of the filter bank and the SMR (signal-to-mask ratio) provided by the psychoacoustic model, and adjusts the allocation of bits or noise, depending on the scheme used, to simultaneously satisfy the bitrate requirements and masking. These cycles consist of:
Internal cycle
The inner loop performs non-uniform quantization according to the floating point system (each MDCT spectral value is raised to the 3/4 power). The loop chooses a certain quantization interval, and the quantized data is Huffman-encoded in the next block. The loop ends when the quantized values that have been Huffman encoded use less than or equal to the number of bits than the maximum number of bits allowed. lokaS
External cycle
Now the external cycle is in charge of verifying if the scale factor for each subband has more distortion than allowed (noise in the encoded signal), comparing each band of the scale factor with the data previously calculated in the psychoacoustic analysis. The outer loop ends when one of the following conditions is met:
None of the scale factor bands have much noise.
If the next iteration amplifies one of the bands more than allowed.
All bands have been amplified at least once.
Packing or bitstream formatter
This block takes the quantized samples from the filter bank, along with the bit/noise mapping data, and stores the encoded audio and some additional data in the frames. Each frame contains information on 1152 audio samples and consists of a header, audio data together with error checking by CRC and auxiliary data (the latter two are optional). The header tells us which layer, bit rate, and sample rate are being used for the encoded audio. Frames start with the same sync and differencing header and can vary in length. In addition to dealing with this information, it also includes variable – length Huffman encoding., a lossless entropy encoding method that eliminates redundancy. It acts at the end of compression to encode the information. Variable length methods are generally characterized by assigning short words to the most frequent events, leaving long ones for the most infrequent ones.
Structure of an MP3 file
An Mp3 file is made up of different MP3 frames which in turn are made up of an Mp3 header and the MP3 data. This data sequence is the so-called "elementary stream". Each of the Frames are independent, that is, a person can cut the frames of an MP3 file and then play them on any MP3 player on the market. The header consists of a sync word that is used to indicate the beginning of a valid frame. This is followed by a series of bits indicating that the analyzed file is a Standard MPEG file and whether or not it uses layer 3. After all this, the values differ depending on the type of MP3 file. Value ranges are defined in ISO/IEC 11172-3.
Discrete Fourier transform
In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform, often designated by the abbreviation DFT (for discrete Fourier transform), and sometimes called the finite Fourier transform, is a Fourier transform widely used in signal processing and in fields. affine to analyze the frequencies present in a sampled signal, solve partial differential equations, and perform other operations, such as convolutions. It is used in the process of creating an MP3 file.
The discrete Fourier transform can be computed very efficiently using the FFT algorithm.

The TV host blames Stern for the lack of resolution in the ongoing labor that led to the league canceling the first two weeks of the season.
Bryant Gumbel, host of HBO's Real Sports, used some potentially controversial phrases to blast NBA commissioner David Stern on his show Tuesday night.
Gumbel blames Stern for the lack of resolution in the ongoing labor negotiations between the players and owners that led to the league canceling the first two weeks of the season.
"The NBA's infamously egocentric commissioner seems more hell-bent lately on demeaning the players than solving his game's labor impasse," Gumbel said.
But he didn't stop there. Gumbel evoked images of slavery in further remarks.
"Stern's version of what has been going on behind closed doors has of course been disputed, but his efforts were typical of a commissioner who has always seemed eager to be viewed as some kind of modern plantation overseer, treating NBA men as if they were his boys," he said. "It's part of Stern's M.O., like his past self-serving edicts on dress code or the questioning of officials. His moves were intended to do little more than show how he's the one keeping the hired hands in their place."
Gumbel acknowledged that his comments would likely earn him some criticism but that he wasn't concerned about it.
"Some will of course cringe at that characterization," Gumbel said. "But Stern's disdain for the players is as palpable and pathetic as his motives are transparent. Yes, the NBA's business model is broken. But to fix it, maybe the league's commissioner should concern himself most with the solution, and stop being part of the problem."
Meanwhile, the NBA announced last week that it was canceling the first two weeks of the regular season after owners and players were unable to reach a new labor deal and end the lockout.
At the time, Stern said that after two straight days of negotiations that both sides were "very far apart on virtually all issues. ... We just have a gulf that separates us."
The sticking point in the negotiations was reportedly how the team owners and their players would split the $4 billion in revenue generated annually by the league. The NBA claims that it is losing $300 million a year, with 22 of its 30 teams also in the red.
Meanwhile, Gumbel's comments aren't the first potentially controversial remarks he has made. In 2006, he said he doesn't like the Winter Olympics and refuses to watch them, adding: "So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention."
That same year, he said of outgoing NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue: "Before he cleans out his office, have Paul Tagliabue show you where he keeps [then-NFL Players Association executive director] Gene Upshaw's leash," Gumbel said. "By making the docile head of the players union his personal pet, your predecessor kept the peace without giving players the kind of guarantees other pros take for granted. Try to make sure no one competent ever replaces Upshaw on your watch." | {

Home / CSS Almanac / Properties / S / scrollbar-gutter
scrollbar-gutter
The scrollbar-gutter property provides flexibility to determine how the space the browser uses to display a scrollbar that interacts with the content on the screen. The spec describes it "reserving space for the scrollbar" and that makes sense since that's what a gutter ultimately is: a container that reserves space for whatever is in it and separates it from other elements.
So we're all on the same page, a scrollbar is that thing typically on the right side of the browser (formally referred to as the "user agent" — or UA — in the spec) that indicates your scroll position relative to the total available space on the webpage.
Those have traditionally been a visual container with a sliding indicator. These are referred to as classic scrollbars. The indicator sits inside of the gutter and the gutter takes up physical real estate on the screen when it's displayed.
Lately, though, scrollbar appearances have trended toward something much more minimal. We call those overlay scrollbars and they are either partially or fully transparent while sitting on top of the page content. In other words, unlike classic scrollbars that take up physical real estate on the screen, overlay scrollbars sit on top of the screen content.
While we're at it, a scrollbars can pop up in other places. Besides sitting flush to the right of the browser, we will see scrollbars on HTML elements where content overflows the element and the overflow property (or overflow-x and overflow-y) are set to the scroll value. And note that the existence of overflow-x means we have horizontal scrolling in addition to vertical scrolling.
That's what we're talking about. Not the indicator itself, but the container that holds it. That's the gutter. Whether a browser uses a classic or overlay scrollbar is totally up to the UA itself. That's not for us to decide. Such is true of the scrollbar width. The user agent defines that and gives us no control over it.
That's where scrollbar-gutter comes in. We can spell out whether the gutter is present in it's classic and overlay variations.
scrollbar-gutter: [ auto | [ stable | always ] && both? && force? ]
A double ampersand (&&) separates two or more components, all of which must occur, in any order.
A question mark (?) indicates that the preceding type, word, or group is optional (occurs zero or one times).
auto (initial value): Pretty much the default behavior described so far. Setting the property to this value allows classic scrollbars to consume real estate in the UI on elements where the overflow property of those elements are set to scroll or auto. Conversely, overlay scrollbars take up no space at all by sitting on top of the element.
stable: This adds a little opinionated behavior by always reserving space for the scrollbar gutter, as long as the overflow property on the same element is set to scroll or auto and we're dealing with a classic scrollbar — even when if the box is not overflowing. Conversely, this will have no impact on an overlay scrollbar.
always: This acts the same as stable but ensures that space for the scrollbar gutter is always reserved, regardless of whether the scrollbar is classic or overlay and regardless of whether the content is overflowing or not.
both: This states that a scrollbar gutter will be placed on both sides of the element when the default gutter is displayed. You can see how this might come in handy if your design requires equal spacing on both sides of the element.
force: This is the same as applying both stable and always where the element's overflow is set to auto, scroll, visible, hidden or clip.
The Working Draft of the spec has a super handy table that breaks those definitions down into their contexts to show the relationship they have to classic and overlay scrollbars.
Classic scrollbars
Overlay scrollbars
Not overflowing
GM G
G G G G
visible, hidden, clip
f? f?
f? f? f? f?
"G" represents cases where space is reserved for the scrollbar gutter, "f?" cases where space is reserved for the scrollbar gutter if force was specified, and empty cells cases where the no space is reserved.
Specification Status
The scrollbar-gutter property is defined in the Overflow Module Level 4, which is in Working Draft status. That means this is still a work in progress and could change between now and the time the draft moves to Candidate Recommendation.
the Overflow Module Level 3 specification is a Working Draft as well, so that's a good indication that (1) it will take some time for scrollbar-gutter to become a recommendation and (2) it is still very much in progress.
There is no browser support at the time of the last update.

Home » About NTLAC » Our Services » Family Dispute Resolution
For people experiencing family separation the Northern Territory Legal Aid Commission provides Family Dispute Resolution via registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioners. Family dispute resolution (FDR) involves a meeting between the people in a family law dispute and a mediator, sometimes with the assistance of their lawyers too. It aims to help people reach agreement without having to go to court.
We are now using a highly secure online mediation platform. It is called "Immediation". It is also used by the Family Court. It means we can use state of the art video conferencing technology to help us with mediations. We can use it to meet with parties and lawyers easily online before holding a conference. The conference can then be held either online or in person. The people involved can also use the technology to share documents, use interactive calendars and look at draft agreements.
Do you have questions about family dispute resolution? See our frequently asked questions below, or contact the Legal Aid Helpline on 1800 019 343.
What is Immediation?
Immediation is a legal technology platform for online mediation being piloted at NT Legal Aid and already in use in Australian Family Courts and Tribunals. The platform uses state-of-the-art video conferencing technology designed by a barrister/mediator and voted "best legal tech" at the 2020 Startup & Innovation awards. Our FDR Team can use to platform to liaise with parties and lawyers easily online prior to holding a conference either online or in person, and participants can share documents and access example agreements or tools such as interactive calendars built into the platform, which are protected by security.
What is family dispute resolution?
Family dispute resolution is a process people use when trying to come to an agreement about parenting or property arrangements without going to court. A mediator or 'family dispute resolution practitioner' (FDRP) helps people reach agreement; the FDRP is an independent legal or social sciences professional. They cannot give legal advice or make the decision for you. Instead, they encourage people to talk to each other constructively about the problem and—if possible—reach an agreement about how to parent after separation or how to divide family property.
The type of family dispute resolution used by legal aid commissions, including NT Legal Aid, is called family law conferencing (FLC). People are encouraged to have lawyers come along to the family law conference, and ideally to record their agreement in consent orders filed with the court, or otherwise in a written plan.
Whatever is said at the family law conference cannot be used later in a court case; it is "non-admissable" and "confidential". Being confidential also means that people can talk openly about all the issues they are having problems with, to try to come to a lasting solution.
You can call the Legal Aid Helpline on 1800 019 343 to find out more about family law conferencing, or you can visit www.familyrelationships.gov.au to find a Family Relationship Centre, FDRP or other mediation service near you (these other services do not give legal advice).
When can I try family dispute resolution?
At any stage, as soon as six weeks after separation and right up until a court decision, if a court case has already started. Most people will need to try family dispute resolution before they will be able to apply for court. Family dispute resolution takes less time than going to court and will be much cheaper than paying a private solicitor to help you. This does not apply when:
it is an urgent matter
your dispute is about property only
mediation is not appropriate in your circumstances (see the next FAQ, Do I have to go to family dispute resolution?).
Do I have to go to family dispute resolution?
For arrangements about children
If you want court orders about children, the law (and NT Legal Aid funding policy) says you must try family dispute resolution first. This means you must make a genuine attempt to attend family dispute resolution and come to an agreement about the children. The exceptions to this are when:
your child has been, or may be, abused or neglected if there is a delay to try family dispute resolution
there has been or is some risk of family or domestic violence
the matter is urgent
the reason you are applying to the court is to enforce court orders that you got less than 12 months before.
If you believe your situation fits one of these exceptions you may need to show the court a certificate (called a section 60I Certificate) from the family dispute resolution service which confirms this.
For dividing property
When it comes to dividing property, the court strongly encourages parties to try family dispute resolution before applying to the court. If you don't try, the court may order conciliation before the court case can continue. Conciliation is a form of family dispute resolution where a registrar will direct parties in their negotiations. If there is no parenting matter involved, only property, NT Legal Aid will generally only fund family law conferencing and not a court case.
What if there has been domestic violence?
Mediation works well when both people are able to safely and confidently discuss what they think should happen with their family law problem. Where there has been family or domestic violence it can make it difficult for both parents/parties to do this, but family law conferences can be set up in a way that helps and is safe. More information on how mediation can occur where there has been family or domestic violence can be found here
You should tell the family dispute resolution service if you are worried about your safety or if you have the kind of domestic violence order (DVO) that does not allow parties to come near each other even for family dispute resolution. A lawyer can give you more advice about this.
Should I get legal advice?
Even if you will never go to court, it is always best to get legal advice before you go to family dispute resolution. This way you are fully informed about your rights, responsibilities and options before you start, and you can start working out what your ideal agreement would look like.
What if the other person won't go to family dispute resolution?
If one person refuses to go, you may need the court to get involved in your dispute. If you're applying for a parenting order, you will generally need to explain to the court that you have asked for family dispute resolution, but the other person refused. Your family dispute resolution practitioner (FDRP) can give you a certificate (the section 60I Certificate) to give to the court.
What if we try and it doesn't work out?
If you have tried family dispute resolution and not come to an agreement, or not agreed on everything, you then have the option of going to court, and you might be able to get legal aid to help you do that. If you want to apply to the court a lawyer or the court staff can help you to fill out and file the correct forms. If the other person has applied to the court, you must be notified and you must attend court on the next court day. If you cannot go to court on a certain day, let the court know and get legal help (there is a free duty lawyer on some court days). If you need to attend court by telephone, you should ask the court how to arrange it.
You may not have to contribute to the cost of the family law conference, but this depends on your level of income.
What happens if we agree at the family law conference?
An agreement can be put in writing or it may just be a verbal understanding. If you put it in writing it will be either court orders (formal and enforceable once made by the court) or an informal 'plan' (operates in good faith once signed and dated).
If you are worried that the other person will not follow a parenting plan, you can make the agreement legally enforceable by asking the court to make it into parenting orders by consent. Asking for orders by consent means that both people agree and both ask the court. There is an Application for Consent Orders (do-it-yourself kit) available at the Family Court of Australia's website.
It is strongly recommended that you get legal advice before you get orders made. Free legal advice is available through NT Legal Aid by calling the Help Line on 1800 019 343.

Unauthorized Propagation Prohibited – PVPA 1994 Title V – U.S. Protected Variety. To be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed.
Since its release in 2009, LCS Albany has amazed farmers and researches with its astonishing yields. It achieves these exceptional yields because of a slightly longer maturity period, which leads to a longer grain filling period. This high yield potential will tend to dilute grain protein content, therefore a higher nitrogen input may be necessary for optimum returns. LCS Albany offers a shorter than average straw height, good straw strength, and a good disease package. LCS Albany consistently outperforms the competition and has broad adaptation across Minnesota and the Dakotas. Implementing LCS Albany into your rotation offers you the potential to produce some of the highest yields you have ever recorded!
LCS Breakaway HRSW has proved to be a consistent performer in varietal testing. With the utilization of LCS Breakaway, you can expect to see higher proteins, higher yield potentials, and excellent standability ratings from a shorter straw height. It is a medium maturing variety with a good disease package and good tolerance to pre-harvest sprout. Adding LCS Breakaway to your rotation will provide high economic returns and it will be a great investment for any growing season.
LCS Iguacu has one of the best disease packages of the LCS lineup, because it was originally developed intense disease conditions in South America. Although it was developed in South America it has adapted very well to the Northern Plains. LCS Iguacu is targeted for high management, and when managed properly it will provide an exceptional yield and test weight. It has shown to be beneficial when it's planted in slightly higher planting populations; about 1.2-1.5 million plants/acre. This is a variety that you need to feed with more nitrogen than your average HRSW because of its very high yield potential. If you take a pre-plant soil test you should apply at least 30 pounds/acre over the normal recommendations. LCS Iguacu's excellent straw strength makes it a perfect high management wheat.
LCS Nitro HRSW is the premier yield leader across the Northern Plains from Limagrain Cereal Seeds for numerous years. This variety has been the long-term number one yielder in the variety trials. When you choose LCS Nitro, you can expect high proteins, high yields, and excellent standability from a shorter straw height. Another great attribute is the excellent disease resistance package and good tolerance to leaf rust.
LCS Powerplay HRSW is a proven balanced performer in both yield and protein content. It has a broad adaptation across the Midwest growing region, and has shown a very consistent yield with good protein content. Some notable qualities of LCS Powerplay include: good straw strength, medium season maturity and shorter plant height. It displays a very sound physical grain property, good test weight, and medium to high protein content. The addition of this variety to your HRSW lineup will provide you with solid financial performance and will produce a quality product year after year.
PVP Protections Currently Pending. To be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed.
LCS Prime has very good yield potential but is more balanced in protein content than many varieties currently on the market. LCS Prime is "a cut above" the rest and provides dependable economic returns. It has a stiff straw with medium plant height. LCS Prime has a broad disease resistance package that boasts: resistance to fusarium head blight and moderate resistance to bacterial leaf streak, septoria leaf blotch, tan spot, and leaf rust. LCS Prime produces very high test weight grain and has the most desirable milling quality and baking quality.
Unauthorized propagation prohibited – PVPA 1994 – U.S. protected variety To be sold by variety name only as a class of certified seed.
Prestige offers competitive yields and excellent protein content. It offers a disease package that includes resistance to leaf rust, bacterial leaf blight, scab, and foliar diseases. As a result, this would be a good fit into your crop rotation. Prestige offers an excellent straw strength, which makes it a desirable variety for inclimate weather. This variety has been very consistent in research trials across North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana. Prestige performs well in dry areas, and responds well to drought stress.
Redstone's unique genetic package provides exceptional yield potential across the Northern Plains. This wheat variety has a shorter height with excellent straw strength and performs well in drought and high moisture environments. Redstone has excellent resistance from Fusarium Head Blight and Leaf Rust. With this exclusive Pulse USA Variety its exceptional agronomic features make it a great competitor against other varieties. | {

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae – Exceptional yeast strain for full fruit varietal and country red wines promoting good structure, balance and colour.
The majority of yeast strains strip out fruit flavour and colour from the must, not so with intners Harvest Wine Yeast VR21 which is particularly noted for preserving and retaining the natural fruit characteristics of the grape / country fruit and enhancing palate length.
VR21 wine yeast is a relatively neutral strain producing subtle levels of aroma and flavour compounds, allowing full expression of varietal / country characteristics whilst enhancing colour, wine structure and balance.
VR21 wine yeast is an ethanol tolerant killer yeast strain, capable of fermenting to 15% abv. ethanol. Good production of glycerol, low volatile acid production, zero sulphur dioxide formation and low foaming. | {

Group aims to empower women through workshops, events, discussion
When Nayaelah Siddiqui launched Modest Muslimah in 2013, the idea was simple: provide a safe space for Muslim women to talk openly.
"I didn't actually know it was something that was going to grow into what it is now," said Siddiqui, the club's current president. "But it was just like, well, let's get a group of friends together and discuss some of the barriers we face."
Empower'em, as it is now known, has since expanded its membership to include all women and does much more than just host conversation circles (although those are still a core component). The group, whose mission is focused on empowering women of colour and Canadian newcomers, provides skill workshops and leadership training to foster personal and professional success.
"Our programming is focused on that," said Siddiqui. "That being said, we've never sent anyone home who's shown up."
Events and discussion centre on four categories: health, community, identity and skill development. In the fall, the group organized its annual hike in Gatineau Park to encourage a healthy lifestyle and forge new friendships.
"I think it creates a safe space for women," said vice-president Sara Asif. "They can talk about any issue, whether it be mental health or even everyday stresses that you might have being a university student."
But participants can also learn useful and sometimes unexpected skills.
"(It's) also a place where we really promote skill-based activities for women," added Asif. "It might be unconventional, like how to change a tire, which you don't really learn in the school system or anything."
For International Women's Day on March 9, Empower'em is teaming up with University of Ottawa World Vision, Girl Up Ottawa and the Women in Management Network to host a conference called "Women in the World", featuring speakers, workshops, panels and networking opportunities.
Empower'em also recently received a grant from the Inspirit Foundation to run mental health workshops starting in April.
"Basically it's focusing on women of colour to talk about the taboo subjects of mental health," said Annette Kattackal, administrative director. "We're trying to create a safe space for women of colour to understand mental health is very important and how to deal with mental illnesses or even just to understand the concept of mental health."
She said they hope to have counsellors lead both in-person discussions as well as online sessions, providing a space for people to submit questions anonymously.
Empower'em is currently seeking volunteers to help run these workshops as well as fill out their roster for next year.
Saddiqui, in her final year of a commerce degree, hopes to continue her participation in a more advisory role as the group takes on a new mentorship mandate.
"What the direction we want to take in the next year is kind of starting this leadership and mentorship program that is for women of colour by women of colour as well as faith-bases that allow for discussions and dialogues," she said.
More information can be found on the club's website.

Sports Analyst and Fighter Michael Bisping Net Worth in 2020
Ever wonder what Michael Bisping's net worth is in 2020? Michael Bisping is an English retired mixed martial artist, actor, and author. He was inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame in 2019. Michael has accomplished a lot in his life that has given him the ability to be worth millions of dollars.
Personal Life of Michael Bisping
Michael Bisping was born on February 28, 1979, in a British Military Base in Nicosia, Cyprus. His father is of British descent and was serving in the British Army when Michael was born while his mother is of Irish descent.
Michael attended St. Augustine's Roman Catholic High School in Billington.
Michael started training in jujutsu at a young age of 8 and has been a fighter ever since.
Michael met an Australian wife, Rebecca, and they have three children together. Their eldest son, Callum, is also an accomplished writer.
Michael Bisping Career to Success
Michael started competing in martial arts when he was 15 years old in Britain's first "no holds barred" competition, the Knock Down Sport Budo (KSBO).
When he turned 18, Michael stopped his MMA training to pursue a life outside the ring. He did different jobs from a postman to a factory worker. But in the end, he returned to MMA as his calling to be a fighter was too strong.
Michael trained in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, and karate. He was known for his excellent striking skills and used punches and kicks to fend off his opponents.
In 2004, Michael made his MMA professional debut on "Pride & Glory 2: Battle of the Ages" against Steve Matthews. A month after, he got his first knockout win in "UK MMA Challenge 7: Rage & Fury" against John Weit.
Michael became the Cage Rage light heavyweight champion in his third professional MMA march at Cage Rage 7. He got a TKO win against Mark Epstein.
Michael defended his title in a rematch against Epstein at Cage Rage 9, where he earned a knockout victory. This win solidified Michael as one of the top light heavyweight fighters in all of England, and UFC gave him the moniker "The Great British Hope."
Since then, Michael had been competing in numerous MMA competitions from Cage Rage, Cage Warriors, and Wolfslair.
Michael joined UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter 3" in 2006, and he won that season. This made Michael the second light heavyweight winner of the UFC TV series.
Michael was supposed to fight against Eric Schafer at "The Ultimate Fighter 4" but was forced to withdraw from the fight because he had difficulties acquiring his visa.
In 2007, Michael got a TKO win over Elvis Sinosic during the UFC 70 in Manchester.
From the start of his MMA career, Michael competed in the light heavyweight division despite people advising him that he would do better at the middleweight division.
Following his first loss ever in his career during the UFC 78 match against Rashad Evans, and with the support of UFC president Dana White, Michael dropped down his weight division. When he dropped to the middleweight division, it was noticed that he had more power on his feet.
In 2008, Michael started his middleweight debut at UFC 83. Michael was able to get a TKO win against Charles McCarthy when Charles was unable to continue after a forearm injury he got during the first round.
Michael's nest fight at the middleweight division was scheduled to be against Chris Leben on June 7, 2008, at UF 85 in London. Unfortunately, Chris was unable to compete as he was sentenced to jail for 35 days. Jason Day became Chris' replacement.
Michael became one of the coaches on the 9th season of the reality show "The Ultimate Fighter." After the show's conclusion, Michael fought against one of the show's coaches, Dan Henderson.
The fight against Henderson resulted in Michael's first knockout loss in his career. He was knocked out so bad that the fight had to be stopped, and suffered from short-term memory loss.
This did not discourage Michael as he was able to bounce back, get into training, and managed to continue to win a lot of MMA competitions right after.
In 2018, a 40-year-old Michael officially announced his retirement from MMA competitions. This decision was caused by an eye injury that he got during his fight against Kelvin Gastelum in the November 2017 UFC Fight Night.
In 2019, Michael was inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame. In the same year, Michael released his book entitled "Quitters Never Win: My Life in UFC."
Aside from a colorful MMA career, Michael also had a Hollywood career as he did a few acting stints.
In 2016, Michael became part of the cast of the movie "XXX: Return of Xander Cage." In the same year, he also got a small role in the television series, "Twin Peaks." He also got a role in the sports drama movie "My Name is Lenny."
In 2018, Michael had a short cameo in the film "Den of Thieves." In the same year, Michael would be one of the four presenters in the reality TV series "Hyperdrive" on Netflix.
As of 2020, Michael Bisping is estimated to be worth $9 million.

"Due to the UFC educating people on MMA as a sport, people give us the respect as athletes, opening doors to opportunities which wasn't available in the past. It has been amazing to be part of the UFC journey." – Michael Bisping
"Some people are born for a certain thing. And for me, unfortunately, I wish it was something a bit more artistic or whatever, but I was a born fighter. That's what kept me coming back. It makes me feel alive. And, I just know, there is nothing I do better in this world than fight." – Michael Bisping
"I can't understand how some guys get tired after one round. If you can't go the distance, why are you even in the fight?" – Michael Bisping
"It's going to take more than one loss for me to hang up my gloves; that's for sure." – Michael Bisping
Lessons to learn from Michael Bisping
Pursue your passion
There were a couple of times when Michael tried to quit MMA fighting. Michael decided to pursue real life and did typical, regular jobs. However, Michael realized he was happier doing MMA, so he returned and continued his training every time he tried to walk away. It did help that MMA eventually started getting recognition because it meant more money involved in the sport. Because of this, he was able to make a living doing the thing he loves the most.
Quit the stigma
MMA fighters have been carrying a stigma on their shoulders that they are violent people. This is also one reason Michael had kept quiet about his past, wherein he was in prison before he started his professional MMA career. This was a secret that was maintained until he spilled the details about it in his book. He said he kept quiet about it because he did not want to be affected by the stigma or encourage the sport's stigma.
Know when to walk away
Michael retired from his professional MMA career at 40 years old. Although he could still compete, he sustained an eye injury the year before, which affected his ability to fight well. Michael realized that pushing on was not worth getting further injuries. He was able to walk away, knowing that the titles he had earned were enough. The year after, he was inducted in the UFC Hall of Fame.
Michael Bisping is an English mixed martial artist, sports analyst, commentator, and actor who has won numerous MMA competitions throughout his career.
As of 2020, Michael Bisping's net worth is estimated to be around $9 million.

Kaingo Game Reserve
FromR4750
OverviewAccommodation
Kaingo is a destination of outstanding scenic beauty, an African Eden.
Situated in the Waterberg, 2.5 hours from Johannesburg, Kaingo Game Reserve is the malaria-free, safari holiday you've been searching for.
Accommodating family, friends or business associates, the lodges facilities, coupled with the spectacular location and passion for the environment, make this an unforgettable destination. Sweeping across 22 500 acres of bush veld savannah, river, valley and magic mountain landscapes, Kaingo represents a piece of Africa as it used to be with unique wildlife experiences, thrilling activities and picturesque natural assets in abundance.
With the mighty Mokolo river weaving through breath taking landscapes, Kaingo has distilled the finest natural wildlife safari offerings for the enjoyment of guests.
Particular attention is given to activity based, adventure loving, comfort seeking, nature tourists who want to have an authentic experience in the comfort of this home-from-home lodge.
For your pleasure, Kaingo offers an extensive list of activities from which to choose. Whether game drive, bush walk, sunset river cruise, or a private dinner for two, there is never enough time to exhaust the many ways there are to love this place.
Guests of Kaingo are treated to unique personal experiences of the bushveld and exciting close-up game viewing under the expert guidance of qualified field guides who love to share their knowledge of the African bush and its wildlife.
You can expect to spot a wide variety of game species, from elephant, lion, buffalo, giraffe, sable antelope, tsessebe, nyala, waterbuck, klipspringer and zebra, in addition to abundant birdlife. More elusive animals such as brown hyena, serval, African wildcat and the shy leopard might be seen on the night drives.
Children of all ages are welcome to join the morning and evening drives when accompanied by an adult. Families are either accommodated on their own game viewer or with other families which gives the kids a chance to make new friends while on holiday. Child minders are available to assist should you wish to enjoy a child free safari during your stay.
Kaingo functions primarily as a conservation area, where the staff strives to restore the bushveld savanna to its pristine state. As custodians of nature for the next generation we have an opportunity and thus responsibility to make a significant contribution to the protection of the country's biodiversity. Kaingo Game Reserve is a victory for conservation. In an increasingly busy world, many are seeking two elusive luxuries: silence and space. Indulge in an abundance of both at Kaingo.
Leopard House ★★★★
Leopard House has two en-suite bedrooms, together with a lounge and dining area, and walls adorned with original works of art. A private outside patio area features a plunge pool, thatched lapa and fire pit area where meals and quality time can be enjoyed in privacy, if so preferred.
Everything you'd expect in a luxury safari house is here. Earthy colours, leather and dark wood finishes give this unit a nostalgic air.
Elephant Lodge ★★★★
Reminiscent of a traditional African safari camp, Kaingo Elephant Lodge offers a luxurious safari accommodation experience. Built from natural stone with thatch roofs, the lodge has an olde worlde-Africa atmosphere while being completely contemporary. All comforts are catered for in the plush suites and throughout this carefully appointed luxury safari lodge, surrounded with nature inspired décor and accent colours.
Just 28 guests in total can be accommodated at Elephant Lodge, with the focus on personal attention, superb service and complete comfort. Elephant Lodge is equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi for lodge guests wanting to connect to home.
Game Drive Experience
Guests are taken out twice daily in open safari vehicles (one early morning, and one late afternoon, into the evening), each approximately 3-4 hours long, and include a scenic coffee and sundowner break to purely appreciate just being in the moment. Times are dependent on the season and weather. Read More
Kaingo Wildlife
Kaingo is home to over 50 different mammals including lion, elephant, buffalo and leopard. It is home to several endangered and rare species too, such as tsessebe, brown hyena, pangolin, honey badger and sable. Several nocturnal species can best be seen at night including aardvark, serval, bush baby and African wildcat.
The grassy plains and savanna abound with animals such as giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and impala, while predators are always close by. It is the diversity of habitats on the reserve that encourages such a wide range of wildlife as well as over 350 bird species, including rare species such as African Finfoot, Narina Trogon and Striped Pipets.
The elephant, buffalo, black and white rhino, lion and leopard were originally named the Big Five due to the significant challenge and potential danger that they presented to hunters. They symbolise the ultimate in African wildlife. On Kaingo, the herds of elephant, buffalo and the lions make regular appearances. The sleek, shy leopards with their nocturnal habits and inaccessible habitat may sometimes elude the visitor.
Kaingo is a 22,000 acre (9,000 hectare) private game reserve in the Waterberg District of the Limpopo Province, South Africa. A pleasant 2.5-hour drive, or an easy 45-minute flight from Johannesburg to our airstrip, makes Kaingo one of the most accessible premier, malaria-free, big game reserves in the country. It is a declared protected area with Critical Biodiversity 1 classification and a core area of the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, officially declared by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 2001.
As a declared Nature Reserve with a primary objective of Natural Resource Conservation, the Reserve is run along pure, sustainable management and development principles, with an exceptionally low developmental and tourism footprint, offering unrivalled exclusivity and privacy. | {

\section{Introduction} \label{sec:intro}
WDs are assigned to several subtypes according to the major components of the surface atmosphere.
If normally broad Balmer lines appear in a spectrum, it is DA WD.
Similarly, He {\small \bf I}, He {\small \bf II}, Ca {\small \bf II} H \& K and C line for DB, DO, DZ, and DQ respectively \citep{2013ApJS..204....5K}.
Approximately 1.3 million targets were selected from {\it Gaia} Early Data Release (EDR) 3 \citep{2021A&A...649A...1G}, considered to be the candidates of WD \citep{2021arXiv210607669G}.
These candidates were derived by several selection criteria in absolute magnitude, color, etc. from {\it Gaia} EDR3 catalog.
The samples of spectroscopically confirmed SDSS WDs were also adopted to calculate probabilities of being a WD ($P_{\rm WD}$).
Up to nearly 7 million objects, LAMOST \citep{2015RAA....15.1095L} released its 7th data product (Data Release 7, DR7) that included more than 10 million low resolution spectral data.
In this research, we aimed to identify WD candidates of {\it Gaia} EDR 3 using spectra from LAMOST DR7.
\section{Data Selection} \label{sec:data}
We performed a cross-match of WD candidates with LAMOST spectral data onto equinox 2000 and epoch 2000 within $3^{\prime\prime}$ utilizing formula \ref{eq:dis}, where $\alpha$ and $\delta$ represent right ascension and declination respectively.
\begin{equation} \label{eq:dis}
d = \arccos[\cos \delta 1 \cos \delta 2 \cos(\alpha 1-\alpha 2)+\sin \delta 1 \sin \delta 2]
\end{equation}
Considering a LAMOST fiber diameter of $3^{\prime\prime}$ \citep{2015RAA....15.1095L}, the cross radius $d$ was also restricted to $3^{\prime\prime}$.
The accuracy of fiber positioning, on the other hand, had been determined to be no more than $1.5^{\prime\prime}$ on average \citep{2014SPIE..9149....1}.
We start the cross-match procedure based on sky coordinates by using both radii.
The conclusions of this research were based on radius $3^{\prime\prime}$, while a specific field presented in our catalog was used to mark the data if it was more than $1.5^{\prime\prime}$ away from any source of {\it Gaia}.
Moreover, these data that had positive values of offset were dismissed as the inconsistent between observation position and the coordinates from the input catalog.
We then derived 18 232 spectra.
Among all the 1.4 million WD candidates from {\it Gaia}, there existed 12 046 that corresponded with LAMOST spectra.
We also inspected 5.8 million spectra of SDSS DR16 \citep{2020ApJS..249....3A} and calculated the distances between them and our data sample.
Half of the objects of LAMOST's sample were not observed by SDSS yet, they needed to be verified even more.
\section{Identification} \label{sec:identity}
We adopted the same procedure described in \cite{2018PASP..130h4203K} to remove those that had little evidence of spectral lines.
9 496 spectra remained after the machine learning process.
Afterwards, we inspected all the results and rejected those that had little evidence to be a WD and maintained 8 465 spectra of 6 190 objects.
The number of targets would reduce to 6 045 if the radius was fixed at $1.5^{\prime\prime}$.
Meanwhile, these small samples of spectra that located between $1.5^{\prime\prime}$ and $3^{\prime\prime}$ exhibited no characteristics distinct from those within the radius of $1.5^{\prime\prime}$.
During the inspection, all the WD spectra were classified into detailed types, including but not limit of DAB and DBZ.
Considering the $P_{\rm WD}$ from \cite{2021arXiv210607669G}, about 75\% of the spectral confirmed WD objects had values greater than 0.9.
As for the other spectra that may not be WDs, the $P_{\rm WD}$ was relatively lower.
Around 68\% of them were less than 0.5, while 23\% larger than 0.9.
This is partly due to poor quality that we were unable to discover any line features in a spectrum and discard it from our sample.
In the other hand, they might be DC WD that could not be verified by spectra alone.
52 objects with 59 spectra were composed of 2 stellar systems, usually a WD plus a late-type star.
We utilized LAMOST 1D Pipeline to recognize the other components by template fitting and found the majority of them WD plus M.
Interestingly, 64 cataclysmic variables (CVs) \citep{1995cvs..book.....W}, with 49 had obvious double peak structure among their emission Balmer or He lines, were intermixed in our sample.
Most of them had traces of helium in their spectra.
\section{Stellar Parameters} \label{sec:param}
Applying spectral templates for DA and DB \citep{2010MmSAI..81..921K}, we calculated atmosphere parameters of the WD spectra.
In the beginning, all spectral samples were moved to rest-frame relying on the redshift derived from LAMOST 1D Pipeline.
Following the determination of best-fit model, LM were adopted to estimate $T_{\rm eff}$, $\log g$ ~and their uncertainty.
The depth of lines of several spectra with relatively low signal-to-noise ratio, though, were almost the same intensity as noise.
The parameters of these data went out of bounds of the template scope and were to reset to -9999 manually.
\section{Summary}
We present a catalog of spectral confirmed WDs from LAMOST DR7 based on the candidates from {\it Gaia} EDR3.
The full {\it Gaia}-LAMOST spectroscopic sample catalog contains the main information (see Table \ref{tab:catalog}) of WDs and can be downloaded following link: \url{http://paperdata.china-vo.org/XiaoKong/LAMOST_DR7_WD.fits}

\end{deluxetable*}
Starting from cross-matching spectral data of LAMOST with sources of {\it Gaia}, we identified 8 465 WD spectra, involving DA, DB, DO, DZ, etc.
Some other types, binary or CV for instance, were also noted.
These objects corresponded with 6 190 {\it Gaia} targets.
1 496 stars of our samples were spectral confirmed for the first time.
We then found the best model that fits a spectrum and estimated the atmosphere parameter using LM.

One, we need a great teacher in every classroom and a great principal leading every building. That starts with being more selective about who can become an educator. A "B" college grade-point average for admission to Iowa's teacher-preparation programs is not asking too much.
Two, all prospective teachers seeking a state license should demonstrate content and teaching mastery to assure they are ready for the crucial work of teaching our children.
Three, the School Administration Manager program should be changed to provide more time for principals to be instructional leaders. Other staff can take on management tasks to free principals to observe and coach teachers in their classrooms.
Four, the Iowa Department of Education will continue to improve the Iowa Core —our state standards in math, science, English, and social studies. But well-rounded, healthy students need more than just these core areas.
The department will work with educators to develop new standards for music and other fine arts, character education, physical education, entrepreneurship education, applied arts, and foreign languages.
Five, a new kindergarten assessment will measure whether children start kindergarten ready to learn and leave prepared to flourish in first grade.
Six, end-of-course tests for core subjects will demonstrate that high school students are ready to graduate. These will be designed with teachers, and will emphasize not just knowing content but being able to apply it.
Seven, all juniors should take a college entrance exam, with the state covering the cost. In addition, they should have the option of taking a work skills readiness test. This will tell us whether Iowa students are college and career ready for life after high school.
Eight, let's assure that children can read by the end of third grade. Otherwise, they will fall further and further behind. An intensive focus on literacy means working closely with families and providing more support for reading and writing in schools starting in preschool, and continuing through kindergarten, first, second, and third grades.
Because reading is so essential for later success in school, it is unfair to promote an illiterate child.
Nine, Iowa has some highly innovative schools, and we should encourage more schools to be innovative. Youngsters need more opportunities to engage in real-world experiences–including internships–in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Doing well in these subjects is the gateway to fast-growing fields with some of the best-paying jobs—whether students are headed for career training or a two- or four-year college.
To encourage such efforts, Iowa should establish an Innovation Acceleration Fund. Schools and partners will identify education problems and innovative solutions. Competitive grants will fund the best ideas, which may be scaled up statewide.
Ten, online learning that complements learning in traditional classrooms should be promoted.
So should competency-based learning that personalizes education for each child, and begins the process of moving us away from the time-based industrial model of education.
Let's do all this and more for our children with a bipartisan consensus that will stand the test of time.
All this and he wants to take a decade to accomplish it. Color me uninspired. Raising GPA standards for teachers alone won't address the problem if the content they are taught is poor. Indoctrination has been a hallmark of the university. In their blueprint they addressed alternative licensure process which I don't see highlighted here. That's unfortunate. Let's recognize that some of our best teachers may not be produced by a university's education department.
Not to mention this requirement would be placed upon all 32 of Iowa's teacher prep programs who are approved by the State Board of Education – whether they are private or public.
Testing alone won't produce reform that is needed. They want to expand the Iowa Core which is exactly what we don't need. More local control not less.
The administration also doesn't want to tackle the teacher's unions which are the primary roadblock to meaningful reform and then they skirt over the proven reform measure – more choice. Their charter schools proposal will be meaningless since they don't address collective bargaining. Their online education idea, as far as I can see, is public only. No mention of increasing tax credits for School Tuition Organizations, lifting onerous requirements on homeschoolers, school vouchers, even tax credits or deductions for homeschoolers, or allowing for private online education.
Leaving choice out of the equation and not dealing with teacher's unions will doom this plan to failure and it'll take 10 years to achieve that result. Oh how wonderful! | {

Materials: Handcarved solid spruce top; solid handcarved maple back and sides; five-piece maple neck; Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge; diamond-pattern enamel fingerboard inlay and "fleur-de-lis" style peghead inlay; triple-bound body, bound fingerboard and headstock, original bone nut.
An original New York Epiphone in wonderful condition, this instrument is powerful, bright, and easy to play. A transitional design, she sports the graceful prewar "snowflake" peghead inlay, and unstamped Frequensator tailpiece, seen only in this model year. The original dark sunburst finish is almost entirely free of pick, buckle, thumb, or fingerboard wear, and shows normal checking on the top and sides. The guitar has a clear open voice with exceptional projection, a comfy neck with a contemporary profile, and smooth low action. A pair of hairline cracks have been soundly resealed in the side, on either side of the neck heel, and the tailpiece angle has been solidly brazed. With original frets freshly dressed in excellent condition, this handsome instrument is an unbeatable value for sheer performance and classic good looks. | {

If you're going for that nicely crisped outside (and who isn't) blot your steak with a paper towel before broiling it. Less moisture on the surface ensures that the meat will in fact broil, rather than do some odd combination of broiling and steaming (bream?).
Use a high quality broiling pan (cool point for dishes with a grated surface, because grill and grate lines on food look cool). You'll want to look for a pan that is heavy and broiler-safe (obviously), but not so heavy that it's difficult to lift, as even the best oven mitts may transfer some heat when handling a dish that's been rocking out at 500+ degrees. I am a bit, well..dorky about broiling with cast iron only. It heats evenly, and once well seasoned provides the perfect nonstick surface that won't impart any unwanted flavor on the meat. And I will admit, I'm a modern (read time-strapped) cook, so I opt for the pre-seasoned variety of cast iron: none of the work and all of the fun! | {

Event Report: Ensuring Privacy and Security in Europe: Challenges in an internet age (26 February 2019)
On 26 February, the joint Brussels office, in conjunction with the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) held a panel discussion at CEPS' Brussels office to discuss the challenges of balancing fundamental human rights and freedoms of individuals in regard to their personal data with the needs of the police and security forces to intercept, use or otherwise analyse that data for the purposes of crime fighting or intelligence operations.
We were fortunate to benefit from the presence of several distinguished panellists in the field:
Douglas Wilson, Director of legal Affairs, (UK) Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)
Dr Pavel Klimov, Chair of the Law Society England and Wales Technology Working Group
Dr Krisztina Huszti-Orban, Senior Legal Advisor to the UN Special Rapporteur on Counter-terrorism and Human Rights, Research Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Minnesota Law School, Human Rights Center.
Overall the panellists agreed that the protection of human rights and the protection of the public should be complementary rather than competing priorities. In practical terms, this includes taking into account human rights and privacy concerns while drafting legislation that would permit use of citizens' data. The United nations had taken an interest in this area since 9/11, most recently with Security Council resolution 2396, which amongst other things called upon states to reinforce existing data sharing and a requirement to collect biometric data of air passengers. Member States are encouraged to share in formation, but with full respects for human rights (for political reasons, this was merely a recommendation not a binding obligation).
The panel also discussed the use of data by western intelligence agencies and how they endeavour to do so with due regard for human rights. In the UK for example, intelligence agencies are subject to a rigorous legal framework and both parliamentary and judicial oversight, most recently laid out in the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. In particular, the new "double lock" element requires an agency to obtain the approval of both the relevant Secretary of State and an independent judge in order to carry out many types of data collection.
The panel acknowledged that the very premise may be objectionable for some, but considered that the interception and use of data (including controversial bulk collection tactics) are essential tools in modern espionage and necessary for the protection of citizens. Some on the panel were slightly more cautious as to the effectiveness of the safeguards (given they have only been in force for ab out a year) but overall the panel was of the opinion that the UK represents a fairly good balance of priorities.
The event was extremely well attended with the available tickets being snapped up in short order. The joint office would like to put on record its gratitude to CEPS for its hospitality and assistance, as well as to our panellists for taking the time and come to talk to us and the audience for their attention and insightful questions.
