I have a confession. I was shamefully, deeply unfashionably late to the cult of Azzedine Alaïa. The Tunisian designer – who arrived in France as a refugee in 1956 (during the Algerian War of Independence), and passed away there late last year – was a master couturier and singular fashion visionary. The very last true couturier, some say, because he continued to make most everything himself, from the patterns right through to the final touches. The problem is, I was a teenager in the 1990s. It was a time when celebrities from a variety of alphabetical strata were in thrall to his iconic bandage dress – a 'body conscious', form-fitting style crafted from banded, elasticated fabric that wraps around the body like a bandage. It was such an instant design classic that, of course, everyone copied it. Azzedine's former student Hervé Léger even claims to have originated the body-con look (he undoubtedly popularised it), and the high street eventually chimed in with an enthusiastic plethora of lumpy, saggy knockoffs.

In its ubiquity, there were versions spanning the good, the bad and the ugly. But as a dedicated teenage skater-goth living on the southwest coast (niche subcultures exist outside of London too!), I hated them all on principle. As I left those days of baggy, puddle-sucking skate jeans and chalky black lipstick behind, and moved into the fashion industry proper, I noticed the incredibly high regard in which Azzedine was held. Beyond that wonderfully camp gag from 1995 mega hit Clueless, Alaïa was esteemed as both a master of design craft and a rebel who refused to lash himself to industry norms – like actually showing during fashion week (he would often show weeks after the international press had flown home, or skip seasons because he hadn't got to where he wanted to be with the designs).
It was not until I watched the incredibly beautiful and moving film produced by one of Azzedine's longest collaborators, the super-stylist Joe McKenna, that I really 'got it' – the romance of it, the obsessional genius of it. Naomi Campbell did not call Azzedine 'Papa' as flattery to edge into campaign or catwalk work; she called him that because she moved into his apartment at 16, and he cared for her like a father figure. Top journalists do not wax lyrical about the clothes to protect valuable advertising partnerships, but because they are genuinely still wearing the Alaïa pieces they bought decades ago, such is the quality of the construction and the timelessness of the design. "He makes clothes like bullets," Alaïa catwalk regular Veronica Webb says in the film, "they last forever".
Incredibly, it's Joe McKenna's first film. Perhaps this fact, together with his close relationship to the designer and the maison, is why it's such a magical depiction, so free of hyperbole and bluster. Fashion heavyweights, from the journalists Vanessa Friedman, Cathy Horyn and Suzy Menkes, to super stylists Grace Coddington and Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele (yes, she's as fabulous as the name suggests), the revered designer Nicolas Ghesquière (currently the womenswear designer at Louis Vuitton; previously at Balenciaga), and of course the super to top all supers, Naomi Campbell herself.
Now, the film isn't brand new. It came out in March 2017. But it is such essential viewing that it is actually shown alongside the garments in the Design Museum's new exhibition, Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier. I suggest you watch it before making your pilgrimage to west London. Without the flavour and passion of the film, I'm not sure I would have known what to look out for and appreciate at the exhibition. The show was planned while Azzedine was still alive, and the designer worked on the exhibition with his frequent curation-collaborator, Mark Wilson of the Groninger Museum. After Azzedine's passing, the Design Museum team "resisted the temptation to turn it into a retrospective," as the Guardian put it, "and has stayed with the designer's original vision for it to be a study of technique and craft"". Which is great for the purists, and people already in the know, but perhaps harder to access for the relatively uninitiated. Joe's film is the perfect crib sheet.
Having watched the film, it's easier to notice and appreciate the awe-inspiring, precision-crafted work for which Alaïa is so revered. There isn't a lot of text to read at the exhibition, and it's all the better for it, because it forces you to really look. To see the garments up close is to understand why it took Azzedine years to perfect certain designs. Every tiny element has been considered and innovated upon, like high-performance sportswear – not in service of speed, of course, but instead for the most exquisite fit, and the pleasure of minutely engineered detail. Diaphanous, sheer silk chiffons are expertly origami-d around the body. The weight of studs and chainmail is so well balanced that the gowns cling and drape improbably, like magic, with not a single pucker to be found in the silk. Thank goodness you can get a 360-degree view, because the backs and sides of the garments are works of art and feats of engineering too. And the mirrored pedestals even give you a glimpse of the structure underneath – the only form of upskirting we can really get on board with.
Alaïa famously said that, "Women make fashion, I make clothes." And it's true – but what clothes! Curator Mark Wilson's take is that Azzedine was "a sculptor, not a fashion designer", but however you frame it, the diminutive designer is a giant of fashion history, and if you haven't joined the cult already, now is the perfect time.
Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier is open now at the Design Museum, 10am-6pm daily, until 7th October 2018. | {

VA Ct. App.
MAYER v. CORSO MAYER
Court of Appeals of Virginia.
Bruce M. MAYER v. Linda CORSO–MAYER.
Record No. 0724–13–1.
Decided: January 14, 2014
Present: HUMPHREYS, BEALES and HUFF, JJ. Laura Murdoch Thornberry (Bruce M. Mayer, pro se, on briefs), for appellant. Scott B. Konikoff for appellee.
Bruce M. Mayer (father) appeals the trial court's order directing him to pay continuing child support to Linda Corso–Mayer (mother) under Code § 20–124.2(C). Father argues that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to award continuing child support to mother, that mother lacked standing to petition for continuing child support, and that the evidence did not support a finding that continuing child support was warranted.1 Father also challenges the trial court's decision to order father to pay 75% of mother's fees and costs (including her attorneys' fees, deposition costs, and filing fees) that arose from continuing child support litigation. For the following reasons, we affirm the trial court's order directing the payment of continuing child support to mother. However, we reverse and vacate the award of attorneys' fees and costs to mother.
I. Background
"On appeal, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to [mother], the party prevailing below," Chretien v. Chretien, 53 Va.App. 200, 202, 670 S.E.2d 45, 46 (2008), and we grant to mother "all reasonable inferences fairly deducible" from the evidence, Anderson v. Anderson, 29 Va.App. 673, 678, 514 S.E.2d 369, 372 (1999). The parties married in 1981 and were divorced by a final decree that the trial court entered on September 24, 2010. The parties' youngest child (daughter) was born on January 8, 1994 and, therefore, daughter was still a minor child when the parties divorced. Mother was granted sole custody of daughter. It is undisputed that daughter has been diagnosed with several conditions and disorders. Dr. Elena Flagg, an expert in rheumatology, diagnosed daughter with fibromyalgia, which Dr. Flagg testified is a chronic syndrome that is "characterized by widespread pain along the muscles." Dr. Alfonso Lopez–Condona, an expert in childhood psychiatry, testified that he diagnosed daughter with "Tourette's disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, mood disorder NOS [not otherwise specified], and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder."
Pursuant to the final divorce decree, which incorporated the parties' property settlement agreement, father was ordered to pay $900 in monthly child support for daughter until daughter "reaches the age of 18 years unless she is (i) a full-time high school student, (ii) not self-supporting, and (iii) living in the home of the party seeking or receiving child support until the child reaches the age of 19 or graduates from high school, whichever first occurs." This provision of the final decree simply recites a portion of Code § 20–124.2(C). Language reflecting a different portion of Code § 20–124.2(C) that is pertinent to this appeal also appears in the parties' final divorce decree.2
On May 10, 2012, mother filed a petition in the trial court seeking the payment of continuing child support by father.3 Father moved to dismiss mother's petition, contending that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to consider mother's petition and that mother lacked standing to petition for continuing child support. Essentially, father asserted that mother's May 10, 2012 petition for continuing child support was untimely filed. Father alleged that daughter had already turned the age of 18 on January 8, 2012 and had also earned her general equivalency degree (GED) on April 19, 2012 before mother filed her petition. Thus, father contended that his responsibility to pay child support under the final divorce decree had already ended when mother filed the May 10, 2012 petition for continuing child support.
In support of father's motion to dismiss, father's counsel asserted at the January 25, 2013 evidentiary hearing in the trial court:
So I would propose to you that no further obligation was in effect starting the 1st of May of 2012. However, [mother] didn't advise the father that [daughter] had completed high school at that point in time so he kept on making payments. The mother, however, would have had to petition the Court for a continuation of child support before [daughter] turned 18 if she had wanted to have a continuation of child support. That is when the Court had statutory authority to order a continuation of child support, during the minority of the child. And so our position is that even if you use the April 2012 GED date, the mother was too late when she filed her petition in May of 2012.
However, the trial court denied father's motion to dismiss the petition—finding, inter alia, that Code § 20–124.2(C) "as set forth by the General Assembly intended for cases like this where ․ the Court can revisit [child support] and make an award accordingly if it finds that those necessitous circumstances exist."
At the evidentiary hearing, Dr. Flagg (who was received as mother's expert in rheumatology) testified that daughter's fibromyalgia causes her great pain, especially when it "flares up" due to stress, infection, physical activity, and prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Dr. Flagg added that the combination of the many medications that daughter has been prescribed can cause fatigue, dizziness, and disorientation. Dr. Flagg opined that, considering the symptoms of daughter's fibromyalgia and how they interact with daughter's psychiatric disorders, it would be "very difficult" for daughter to hold a full-time or even part-time job and to live independently. In Dr. Flagg's opinion, daughter currently could not be expected to "maintain an apartment," "maintain bills," "cook for herself," or supply some essentials of her own "self care."
Dr. Lopez (who was received as father's expert in childhood psychiatry) testified that he has prescribed medications for most of daughter's psychiatric disorders. According to Dr. Lopez, daughter's Tourette's disorder in particular causes daughter "to have these vocal tics" that tend to increase in magnitude when she is under stress. Dr. Lopez testified that he had observed a recent "exacerbation of the tics" from daughter. Dr. Lopez further testified that daughter was jumping up and down, moving her hands erratically, and screaming during an appointment about two weeks before the evidentiary hearing. In Dr. Lopez's opinion, daughter could perform standard activities of daily living (such as taking a shower, brushing her hair, and dressing herself) and also could hold a job—"with help and support." However, Dr. Lopez acknowledged that living on her own and obtaining full-time employment would be stressors for daughter.
Other than babysitting five hours per week, daughter's testimony revealed almost no employment history.4 She testified that she worked for three days as a ride operator at Busch Gardens—but had to quit that job because she could not stand for an eight-hour shift due to her fibromyalgia and her employer would not permit her to sit on a stool. According to daughter's testimony, the pain caused by her fibromyalgia limits her ability to perform many activities, which is further limited by her other disorders. Daughter testified that she has difficulty cleaning the house and also has difficulty unloading the dishwasher because the tics caused by her Tourette's disorder cause her to drop dishes.
Daughter acknowledged that she had earned her GED, obtained a driver's license, and enrolled at a local community college. In her first semester at the community college, she dropped out of one class, failed another, and passed the remaining class (testifying that she received an "A" in that class because the instructor permitted her to do extra credit work). Due to her disorders, daughter testified that she had great difficulty sitting through class sessions and that she was not even able to record lectures because her obsessive compulsive disorder caused her to move the recording device constantly. Daughter testified that she often drove herself to class during her first semester at the community college, but that she needed mother to drive her home on at least three occasions due to anxiety or a flare-up of her Tourette's disorder. Daughter's second semester began three weeks before the evidentiary hearing in the trial court, and daughter testified that she no longer drove herself to class (but was instead driven there by her boyfriend) because of worsened pain attributable to fibromyalgia and a worsening of her tics caused by stress.
Mother testified that she is daughter's sole caretaker and that father does not provide any in-person support for the care of daughter. Daughter and mother both referenced an episode that occurred about a year or two before the evidentiary hearing, when daughter suffered severe tics while with father at a movie theater. On direct examination, mother testified:
It was more than a tic. It almost looked like a grand mal seizure. I mean, her tics were out of control. They had to let everybody out of the theater. They had to have management come in. And Bruce said, "You need to come in here and help me. I can't do this on my own." And he and I physically carried her out and put her in the car. He didn't say a word to me and just left the scene.
When asked on cross-examination whether she had observed other tics of a similar level of severity from daughter at other times, mother testified:
Yes. Last summer in the backyard she was throwing furniture, patio furniture around. And she was ․ throwing things in my room and rolling around the floor, and rolled off the bed as a matter of fact.
Furthermore, both daughter and mother testified that daughter's psychiatric conditions have caused her to harm herself. Daughter testified, "About two years ago I actually had to be put in the hospital because I was punching myself in the head." Daughter also testified that she had previously "cut myself," adding, "I still have the scars on my arms." Mother testified that daughter "was put in the hospital two years ago for cutting, banging her head against concrete walls." Mother also testified that daughter still causes "self injury" by "grab[bing] her arm like in a real tight position and pinch[ing] it" and apparently hitting her head with her hand in a manner that mother demonstrated to the trial court.
Without objection by father's counsel, mother opined that daughter cannot live by herself and is unable to care for herself. Mother testified that daughter cannot be relied on to clean herself, to cook, to shop for provisions adequately, to take herself to her doctor's appointments, to handle her finances and manage money, and to have adequate "schooling [and] organizational skills." Although mother acknowledged on cross-examination that daughter can do some of these things at times, mother also testified that "everything waxes and wanes." Mother explained that daughter's conditions lead to much unpredictability of how well daughter can care for herself from one month to the next.
At the conclusion of all the evidence, the trial court found that an order of continuing child support was appropriate because the required elements of Code § 20–124.2(C) had been satisfied. The trial court found:
[S]he wants to be independent, but the Court finds that she's not able to support herself independently based upon the overall testimony. She wants to do things, but she has issues.
The trial court emphasized that it based its finding on "the totality of the conditions that [daughter] has," also noting that "any one of these standing alone would not in and of itself" constitute a severe and permanent disability for purposes of Code § 20–124.2(C). Furthermore, in addition to ordering continuing child support, the trial court also directed father to pay 75% of mother's attorney's fees and related costs—adopting the closing argument of mother's counsel on this issue.
II. Analysis
A. Order of Continuing Child Support
Father appeals the trial court's finding that continuing child support for daughter was authorized by Code § 20–124.2(C). That statute states, in pertinent part:
The court may order that support be paid for any child of the parties. The court shall also order that support will continue to be paid for any child over the age of 18 who is (i) a full-time high school student, (ii) not self-supporting, and (iii) living in the home of the party seeking or receiving child support until such child reaches the age of 19 or graduates from high school, whichever first occurs. The court may also order the continuation of support for any child over the age of 18 who is (i) severely and permanently mentally or physically disabled, (ii) unable to live independently and support himself, and (iii) resides in the home of the parent seeking or receiving child support.
Code § 20–124.2(C) (emphasis added); see Crabtree v. Crabtree, 17 Va.App. 81, 87, 435 S.E.2d 883, 887 (1993) ("A circuit court that transfers any matters to the juvenile and domestic relations district court court pursuant to Code § 20–79(c) retains the power, in its discretion, to exercise its continuing jurisdiction over those matters.").
On appeal, father raises three arguments challenging the trial court's order directing the payment of continuing child support—(1) that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to order continuing child support, (2) that mother lacked standing to petition for continuing child support, and (3) that the evidence failed to satisfy the elements for continuing child support under Code § 20–124.2(C).
1. Trial Court's Subject Matter Jurisdiction
"The term jurisdiction is 'a word of many, too many, meanings." ' Smith v. Commonwealth, 281 Va. 464, 467, 706 S.E.2d 889, 891 (2011) (quoting Ghameshlouy v. Commonwealth, 279 Va. 379, 388, 689 S.E.2d 698, 702 (2010)); see Hitt Constr. v. Pratt, 53 Va.App. 422, 425, 672 S.E.2d 904, 905 (2009).
"A court may lack the requisite 'jurisdiction' to proceed to an adjudication on the merits for a variety of reasons.
The term jurisdiction embraces several concepts including subject matter jurisdiction, which is the authority granted through constitution or statute to adjudicate a class of cases or controversies; territorial jurisdiction, that is, authority over persons, things, or occurrences located in a defined geographic area; notice jurisdiction, or effective notice to a party or if the proceeding is in rem seizure of a res; and 'the other conditions of fact must exist which are demanded by the unwritten or statute law as the prerequisites of the authority of the court to proceed to judgment or decree.' Farant Inv. Corp. v. Francis, 138 Va. 417, 427–28, 122 S.E. 141, 144 (1924)."
Hitt, 53 Va.App. at 426, 672 S.E.2d at 906 (quoting Porter v. Commonwealth, 276 Va. 203, 228, 661 S.E.2d 415, 426 (2008)). A challenge to a trial court's subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law that is reviewed de novo on appeal. Glasser & Glasser, PLC v. Jack Bays, Inc., 285 Va. 358, 369, 741 S.E.2d 599, 604 (2013).
Code § 20–124.2(C) expressly grants the appropriate circuit court with the authority to "order the continuation of support for any child over the age of 18 who is (i) severely and permanently mentally or physically disabled, (ii) unable to live independently and support himself, and (iii) resides in the home of the parent seeking or receiving child support." The trial court here clearly had subject matter jurisdiction to consider mother's petition for continuing child support. Whether mother actually satisfied the evidentiary elements of Code § 20–124.2(C) with respect to daughter is a different question entirely—one that simply does not implicate the trial court's subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the class of case at issue here.5 See Porter, 276 Va. at 228, 661 S.E.2d at 426.
2. Mother's Standing to Bring the Petition
"Standing to maintain an action is a preliminary jurisdictional issue having no relation to the substantive merits of an action." Andrews v. American Health & Life Ins. Co., 236 Va. 221, 226, 372 S.E.2d 399, 402 (1988) (citing Allen v. Wright, 468 U.S. 737, 750–51, 104 S.Ct. 3315, 82 L.Ed.2d 556 (1984)).
Thus, in evaluating whether a party has standing, we are "not concerned with whether or not a party will ultimately prevail on the legal merits of an issue." Rather, the only question is "the ability of a party to seek redress through the courts in the first place by demonstrating sufficient connection to, and actual or potential harm from, the law or action challenged."
Reston Hosp. Ctr., LLC v. Remley, 59 Va.App. 96, 105, 717 S.E.2d 417, 422 (2011) (quoting Biddison v. Marine Res. Comm'n, 54 Va.App. 521, 527, 680 S.E.2d 343, 346 (2009)); see also Allen, 468 U.S. at 750–51 ("In essence the question of standing is whether the litigant is entitled to have the court decide the merits of the dispute or of particular issues."). The issue of whether a party has standing to raise a claim in the appropriate court "involves a purely legal question of statutory interpretation that we review de novo." Antisdel v. Ashby, 279 Va. 42, 47, 688 S.E.2d 163, 166 (2010).
Father argues that mother lacked standing to raise her petition for continuing child support on May 10, 2012 because daughter had already turned the age of 18 and had already received her GED before the date mother filed the petition. Thus, father contends that his responsibility to pay child support for daughter had ceased by the time mother filed her petition for continuing child support in the trial court because daughter was no longer a minor child but instead was an "emancipated adult." We disagree.
We must first consider, of course, the plain language of Code § 20–124.2(C) because "we are bound by the plain meaning" of that statute and must "apply the statute as written." 1924 Leonard Rd., L.L.C. v. Van Roekel, 272 Va. 543, 553, 636 S.E.2d 378, 384 (2006). Code § 20–124.2(C) expressly states that the trial court "may also order the continuation of support for any child over the age of 18 " provided that certain evidentiary elements are satisfied. (Emphasis added). Thus, a "child" under Code § 20–124.2(C) may be "over the age of 18" years. The plain language of Code § 20–124.2(C) certainly is clear and unambiguous on this issue.6
"We have a duty to construe the law as it is written. In doing so, we assume that the legislature chose, with care, the words it used when it enacted the relevant statute, and we are bound by those words." Simon v. Forer, 265 Va. 483, 490, 578 S.E.2d 792, 796 (2003) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). In this case, it is undisputed that mother was awarded sole custody of daughter in the final divorce decree and that daughter continued to reside with mother, who was responsible for daughter's care. Furthermore, as father's counsel indicated at the evidentiary hearing, mother was still receiving child support from father when mother filed her petition for continuing child support on May 10, 2012. Mother filed this petition in order to continue to exercise her " 'right to act as a conduit for the payments of support to the child.' " Nkopchieu v. Minlend, 59 Va.App. 299, 305, 718 S.E.2d 470, 474 (2011) (quoting Commonwealth ex rel. Gray v. Johnson, 7 Va.App. 614, 622, 376 S.E.2d 787, 791 (1989)).
If the mother of a child who may have a severe and permanent disability (that prevents the child from living independently and supporting herself) cannot seek continuing support on behalf of the child, then who would have standing to do so? To hold that the answer to this question is nobody (as father urges us to conclude, given his argument that daughter is an "emancipated adult") would require this Court to contradict the plain language of Code § 20–124 .2(C)—which this Court cannot and should not do. Even though daughter had already turned the age of 18 (and had already received her GED) when mother filed the petition for continuing child support, the plain language of Code § 20–124.2(C) permitted daughter still to be recognized as a "child over the age of 18" as long as the evidentiary elements of the statute were satisfied. Certainly, mother had a "sufficient interest in the subject matter of the case" to confer upon her standing to raise the petition for continuing child support. Cupp v. Board of Supervisors, 227 Va. 580, 589, 318 S.E.2d 407, 411 (1984).
3. Evidentiary Basis Supporting the Continuing Child Support Order
Father also argues that the trial court's order of continuing child support was not supported by sufficient evidence.
[W]hen a trial court hears evidence at an ore tenus hearing, its factual findings are entitled to great weight and will not be disturbed on appeal unless plainly wrong or without evidence to support them. Wheeler v. Wheeler, 42 Va.App. 282, 288, 591 S.E.2d 698, 701 (2004); see also Ferguson v. Grubb, 39 Va.App. 549, 557, 574 S.E.2d 769, 772 (2003) (noting that, on appeal, the trial court's ruling is "peculiarly entitled to respect for [it] saw the parties, heard the witnesses testify and was in closer touch with the situation than the [appellate] Court, which is limited to a review of the written record" (internal quotations omitted)). Moreover, there is a presumption on appeal that the trial court thoroughly weighed all the evidence, considered the statutory requirements, and made its determination based on the child's best interests. Brown v. Spotsylvania Dept. of Social Servs., 43 Va.App. 205, 211, 597 S.E.2d 214, 217 (2004).
Mullin v. Mullin, 45 Va.App. 289, 299–300, 610 S.E.2d 331, 336 (2005). Furthermore, given that we must view the evidence in the light most favorable to mother (as the party prevailing below), we also must "discard the evidence of [father] which conflicts, either directly or inferentially, with the evidence presented by [mother] at trial." Petry v. Petry, 41 Va.App. 782, 785–86, 589 S.E.2d 458, 460 (2003).
In the trial court, mother assumed the burden as the moving party of satisfying the elements for an order of continuing child support under Code § 20–124.2(C). Germek v. Germek, 34 Va.App. 1, 8, 537 S.E.2d 596, 600 (2000). On appeal, father concedes that daughter resides with mother. Father also does not dispute that daughter has permanent physical and mental disabilities—given the testimony of both Dr. Flagg and Dr. Lopez that the conditions they have diagnosed for daughter are chronic and recurring. Thus, our review is limited to the remaining elements set forth in Code § 20–124.2(C)—i.e., whether daughter is "severely" mentally or physically disabled, and is "unable to live independently and support" herself.
When applying the elements of Code § 20–124.2(C), courts must give the words of this statute their common, ordinary, and accepted meaning. Germek, 34 Va.App. at 8, 537 S.E.2d at 600. The word "severe" is commonly defined, in pertinent part, as "inflicting physical discomfort or hardship," "inflicting pain or distress," and "of a great degree or an undesirable or harmful extent." Webster's Third New International Dictionary 2081 (1981). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to mother, as we must since she was the prevailing party below, the trial court's finding that daughter is severely mentally or physically disabled was not plainly wrong or without evidence to support it. See Code § 8.01–680. As the trial court found, daughter has been diagnosed with both a painful physical condition and several psychological conditions that cause very erratic and sometimes self-destructive behavior. Weighing the evidence, the trial court noted reasonably that any one of daughter's many conditions, standing alone, might not cause a severe and permanent disability—but found that the totality of these conditions caused a severe disability. This finding was supported by credible evidence.
Clearly, Dr. Flagg described daughter's fibromyalgia as very painful and a condition that limits what she can do, and this expert testimony was corroborated by daughter's own account of her difficulties doing basic activities such as lifting her arms or standing for periods of time. The trial court found that daughter's fibromyalgia must also be viewed in conjunction with the many psychological disorders that Dr. Lopez described—which, inter alia, can cause very noticeable and disruptive tics, significant anxiety, lapses in concentration, and self-destructive behavior. The trial court, acting as factfinder, was entitled to give significant weight to mother's testimony that daughter's tics can be so severe that mother once observed what looked to her like a grand mal seizure. Thus, sufficient evidence in the record, viewed in its totality, supports the trial court's finding that daughter is severely mentally or physically disabled for purposes of Code § 20–124.2(C).
In Germek, 34 Va.App. at 8, 537 S.E.2d at 600, this Court held that "an award of continuing support under [Code § 20–124.2(C) ] requires a finding that the statutory elements are causally linked, i.e., that the child's severe and permanent disability renders her unable to live independently and support herself." The trial court here made a finding of the necessary causal connection during its thorough bench ruling, and this finding was supported by evidence in the record on appeal. Specifically, the trial court credited and gave significant weight to Dr. Flagg's testimony that it would be "very difficult" for daughter to hold a job and live independently—finding based on this testimony that daughter clearly "can't hold a regular job" and "[a]s a matter of fact she can't even hold a partial job." The testimony of daughter's own mother and sole caretaker also supports the trial court's finding on this point. Mother testified, without objection, that daughter simply could not live alone and could not keep a job at the time of the evidentiary hearing due to daughter's many conditions.
Father argues that the trial court should have accepted the testimony of Dr. Lopez—father's own expert witness—that daughter could hold a full-time job provided she received "help and support." However, to the extent that Dr. Lopez's opinion conflicted with Dr. Flagg's opinion, the trial court was entitled to accept Dr. Flagg's testimony and accord Dr. Lopez's testimony less weight. On appeal, this Court does not assess the credibility of the witnesses or reweigh the evidence. See Street v. Street, 25 Va.App. 380, 387, 488 S.E.2d 665, 668 (1997) (en banc). Furthermore, we disagree with father's reliance on our decision in Germek and his view that daughter's enrollment at a local community college contradicts the testimony that she cannot work. In Germek, the parties' daughter "chose to attend college full-time, and any inability to work more than seven hours per week arose from her decision to attend college rather than her physical disability." Germek, 34 Va.App. at 12, 537 S.E.2d at 602 (emphasis added). The trial judge in Germek even found that the daughter was able to obtain gainful employment. Id. By contrast, the trial court here found that daughter enrolled at the community college because "she want[s] to achieve" and also found that daughter "really wants to get from under her mother if she could" and she has an "ultimate purpose of trying to be self sufficient" and "be independent"—but ultimately concluded that "she's not able to support herself independently based upon the overall testimony." Accordingly, Germek is readily distinguishable based on its very different facts.
We also observe that, while the first prong of Code § 20–124.2(C) requires a permanent (and severe) disability, the plain language of the statute does not require a showing that the child over the age of 18 is permanently "unable to live independently and support" herself, the second prong of the statute. Thus, the trial court was only required under Code § 20–124.2(C) to assess the circumstances affecting the second prong of the statute as they existed at the time of the evidentiary hearing—not prospectively. Based on the plain language of Code § 20–124.2(C), and in light of the deferential standard of review on appeal, we cannot say that the trial court's decision to order continuing child support payments from father was plainly wrong or without evidence to support it. See Code § 8.01–680.
B. Award of Attorney's Fees and Costs
Finally, father argues that the trial court's award of attorney's fees and costs to mother was unreasonable and was not supported by the record. An award of attorney's fees and costs "is a matter for the trial court's sound discretion after considering the circumstances and equities of the entire case." Artis v. Artis, 4 Va.App. 132, 138, 354 S.E.2d 812, 815 (1987); see Joynes v. Payne, 36 Va.App. 401, 429, 551 S.E.2d 10, 24 (2001) ( "The key to a proper award of counsel fees is reasonableness under all the circumstances.").
In this case, the trial court issued its bench ruling in which it found that payment of continuing child support was appropriate under Code § 20–124.2(C)—and then summarily directed father to pay 75% of the attorney's fees and related costs that mother incurred while pursuing her continuing child support claim. The trial court never identified any basis for the award of attorney's fees and costs to mother. It simply explained, "That's the way it's going to be broken down." The trial court noted that it decided to "adopt the arguments of [mother's counsel] in her closing argument to the Court as reasons for the Court's decision as well."
We have carefully reviewed the transcript of the closing argument presented by mother's counsel.7 The thrust of the argument presented by mother's counsel was that father should have simply agreed to settle the matter instead of exercising his right to defend against mother's claim through the date of the evidentiary hearing. Assuming that mother would prevail on her claim for continued child support under Code § 20–124.2(C), mother's counsel asserted during closing argument that mother also should be compensated for the attorney's fees and related costs that mother incurred while pursuing her own claim. In short, mother's counsel advanced what amounted to a "loser pays" rationale for an award of attorney's fees and costs. See Servicios Comerciales Andinos, S.A. v. GE Del Caribe, 145 F.3d 463, 481 n. 9 (1st Cir.1998) ("[A] 'loser pays' rule could be conceived of as adding an award of attorney's fees to the recovery provided by the underlying cause of action.").
However, Virginia law consistently adheres to the "American rule," which holds that, "ordinarily, attorneys' fees are not recoverable by a prevailing litigant in the absence of a specific contractual or statutory provision to the contrary." Lannon v. Lee Conner Realty Corp., 238 Va. 590, 594, 385 S.E.2d 380, 383 (1989); see also Buckhannon Bd. & Care Home v. W. Va. Dep't of Health & Human Res., 532 U.S. 598, 602, 121 S.Ct. 1835, 149 L.Ed.2d 855 (2001) ("In the United States, parties are ordinarily required to bear their own attorney's fees—the prevailing party is not entitled to collect from the loser ."); Jeroski v. Fed. Mine Safety & Health Review Comm'n, 697 F.3d 651, 654 (7th Cir.2012) (explaining that the "American rule" is "distinct from England's 'loser pays' rule").
"In Virginia, Code §§ 20–79(b) and [former] 20–99(5)8 provide the statutory basis for the broad discretionary authority circuit courts have to award attorney's fees and other costs as the equities of a divorce case and its ancillary proceedings may require ." Tyszcenko v. Donatelli, 53 Va.App. 209, 222, 670 S.E.2d 49, 56 (2008). "This discretionary authority also extends to related post-divorce proceedings." Id. (citations omitted). Significantly, however, "there is no prevailing-party entitlement to fees under Code §§ 20–79(b) and [former] 20–99(5)." Id. at 223, 670 S.E.2d at 57 (emphasis added). "Instead, the trial court, in the exercise of its discretion, may award attorney's fees and costs to 'either party as equity and justice may require.' " Id. (quoting what is currently Code § 20–99(6)). Therefore, after considering "the circumstances of the parties" and "the equities of the entire case," a trial court may exercise its discretion and issue an award of attorney's fees and costs that is reasonable "under all of the circumstances revealed by the record." Id. (internal quotation marks, alterations, and citations omitted).
Even viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to mother, as we must since she was the prevailing party below, the record does not reflect that the award of attorney's fees and costs to mother was premised on any of the circumstances authorizing an award under Code §§ 20–79(b) and 20–99(6) or the case law interpreting those statutes. Neither the trial court nor mother's counsel referenced any specific circumstances of the parties or equities of the entire case that justified an assessment of attorney's fees and costs against father. The record merely reflects (1) that mother brought a petition for continuing child support against father and (2) that father simply answered the petition and contested mother's claim in the trial court. Furthermore, there is no evidence that father—in his defense against mother's claim—delayed the litigation or otherwise frustrated the course of the proceedings. See, e.g., Northcutt v. Northcutt, 39 Va.App. 192, 200–01, 571 S.E.2d 912, 916 (2002) (affirming an award of attorney's fees where the trial judge found, "I'm fed up with this case and the delays that have been occasioned so unnecessarily, and some of the delays ․ have created a decrease in [the] value of the property of the marriage. This has been horrible.").
According to the Supreme Court, one of the ways in which an abuse of discretion can occur arises " 'when an irrelevant or improper factor is considered and given significant weight' " by the trial court. Lawlor v. Commonwealth, 285 Va. 187, 213, 738 S.E.2d 847, 861 (2013) (quoting Landrum v. Chippenham & Johnston–Willis Hosps., Inc., 282 Va. 346, 352, 717 S.E.2d 134, 137 (2011)). An abuse of discretion of this variety occurred here. The trial court's decision to assess attorney's fees and costs against father, based on the insufficient grounds argued by mother's counsel and adopted by the trial court, amounted to the type of "loser pays" rationale that has long been generally rejected in Virginia. Accordingly, the trial court's award of attorney's fees and costs must be reversed because it was not reasonable "under all of the circumstances revealed by the record." McGinnis v. McGinnis, 1 Va.App. 272, 277, 338 S.E.2d 159, 162 (1985).
The trial court had subject matter jurisdiction to consider mother's claim for continuing child support under Code § 20–124.2(C)—which mother clearly had standing to raise. Furthermore, credible evidence in the record supports the trial court's order directing father to pay continuing child support to mother on daughter's behalf. However, there is not an adequate basis in the record for the trial court to assess attorney's fees and costs against father. Accordingly, while we affirm the trial court's continuing child support order, we reverse and vacate its decision to direct father to pay 75% of mother's attorney's fees and costs in the circuit court arising from the continuing child support litigation.
Affirmed in part, reversed and vacated in part.
1. In addition, father argues that the trial judge should have recused himself because he previously "presided over the contentious divorce of the parties" and that the trial judge then "was completely biased and unfair" at the evidentiary hearing on mother's petition for continuing child support. However, Rule 5A:18 bars appellate consideration of these arguments because they were not preserved in the trial court. See Ohree v. Commonwealth, 26 Va.App. 299, 308, 494 S.E.2d 484, 488 (1998). Father never moved the trial judge to recuse himself from considering the continuing child support matter. Furthermore, father never objected on the basis of judicial bias at the evidentiary hearing on the continuing child support matter or in the written objections to the trial court's final order directing father to pay continuing child support for his daughter. Moreover, father "does not argue that we should invoke the 'good cause' or 'ends of justice' exceptions to Rule 5A:18, and we decline to do so sua sponte." Hampton Inn & Selective Ins. Co. of America v. King, 58 Va.App. 286, 301, 708 S.E.2d 450, 457 (2011).
2. Specifically, the final decree includes language from Code § 20–124.2(C) stating that the trial court "may also order the continuation of support for any child over the age of 18 who is (i) severely and permanently mentally or physically disabled, (ii) unable to live independently and support himself, and (iii) resides in the home of the parent seeking or receiving child support." The trial court's authority to order child support under this statutory provision arose from the Code and was not dependent on the terms of the parties' property settlement agreement. Indeed, it is well established that "the parties may not, by agreement, prevent the court from exercising its power to change, modify, or enforce its decree concerning the custody and maintenance of minor children." Shoup v. Shoup, 37 Va.App. 240, 250, 556 S.E.2d 783, 788 (2001) (en banc); see also Kelley v. Kelley, 248 Va. 295, 298, 449 S.E.2d 55, 56 (1994) (holding that "parents cannot contract away their children's rights to support nor can a court be precluded by agreement from exercising its power to decree child support").
3. A pendente lite hearing was held in the trial court on November 16, 2012, and the trial court entered a written order granting mother pendente lite relief on December 13, 2012. In the December 13, 2012 pendente lite order, the trial court found that mother's evidence satisfied the required elements in Code § 20–124.2(C) for continuing child support, directed father to continue paying monthly child support of $900, and also found that father owed $1,800 in child support arrearages as of October 31, 2012.
4. Daughter testified that she works one hour per day on weekday mornings, earning at most $50 per week, babysitting two children for a family in her neighborhood before those children go to school. According to daughter as well as the children's mother (who testified as a witness for father), daughter packs the children's lunches, helps the children pack their bags, and ensures that the children get on the school bus safely. The trial court found that daughter is merely "a body there," adding, "I don't really consider that anything."
5. Father's reliance on the Supreme Court of Virginia's decisions in Eaton v. Eaton, 215 Va. 824, 213 S.E.2d 789 (1975), and Cutshaw v. Cutshaw, 220 Va. 638, 261 S.E.2d 52 (1979), is misplaced. Those decisions pre-date the enactment of Code § 20–124.2(C) in 1994.
6. Furthermore, mother did not lack standing simply because she filed her petition for continuing child support after daughter received her GED.Code § 20–124.2(C) "describes two separate scenarios under which child support may be continued." Mullin v. Mullin, 45 Va.App. 289, 301, 610 S.E.2d 331, 336 (2005). Daughter's GED would have been relevant, if at all, for the first scenario. However, it is clear from the record that mother's petition for continuing child support related to the second scenario described in Code § 20–124.2(C). The educational status of the "child over the age of 18" is not a consideration for this second scenario described in Code § 20–124.2(C).
7. Concerning an award of attorney's fees and costs, mother's counsel's main points raised during closing argument were (1) that mother prevailed at the pendente lite hearing, (2) that father declined to "settle this and avoid the costs of the litigation," (3) that mother incurred expert witness fees at Dr. Flagg's deposition and at the evidentiary hearing, and (4) that, following the evidence taken at the hearing, father "still ha[d] not agreed that the evidence is overwhelming that we've met this burden" of Code § 20–124.2(C).
8. Code § 20–79(b) states,In any suit for divorce, the court in which the suit is instituted or pending, when either party to the proceedings so requests, shall provide in its decree for the maintenance, support, care or custody of the child or children in accordance with Chapter 6.1 (§ 20–124.1 et seq.), support and maintenance for the spouse, if the same be sought, and counsel fees and other costs, if in the judgment of the court any or all of the foregoing should be so decreed.Code § 20–99(5) used to state, "Costs may be awarded to either party as equity and justice may require." This language now appears verbatim in Code § 20–99(6)—given that the General Assembly in 2012 added a new subsection to Code § 20–99, thereby redesignating former Code § 20–99(5) as the current Code § 20–99(6).

I see it is limping, its left foot damaged.
the young bird lies dead by the side gate.
a severed mouse and now the pigeon.
A low body count by any mark.
and make up a story.
Setting puzzles for future historians, eh? Perhaps a vet's house once they will say, in the half hour they are given between the demolition of your house and the building of the glass offices of some social networking site as yet unheard of. | {

Q: How to code c++ project online in one project [management] I'm beginner in C++ programming using visual studio c++. I like to have access to my project codes instantly while programming, something like a project manager. How is this possible in Visual Studio C++ ? I have found Team Foundation Server but I have not clue what it is.
A: TFS is a centralized version control system as opposed to Git, for example, which is a distributed version control system.
If you're already acquainted with Git and not with TFS (which I find to be fairly common),VS2013 has a built-in Git provider (a really nice one in my opinion). For VS2012 you'll need to install one separately, it's a package.

Q: SharePoint 2010 - Add WebPart reference to PowerShell script I want to add a new developed WebPart to a SharePoint site with PowerShell.
How it is possible to add the WebPart reference from my WebPart to the PowerShell script?
$web = Get-SPWeb $urlWeb
$webpartmanager=$web.GetLimitedWebPartManager($urlWebWP, [System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.PersonalizationScope]::Shared)
$webpart = new-object ReferenceToMyWebPartProblem
$webpartmanager.AddWebPart($webpart, $webpartzone, $index);
A: Here is a link to a page that describes the process for the out of the box SharePoint webparts. If you want to include your own webpart, you need to add a reference to your assembly in powershell. The following line adds a reference to one of my custom webparts into powershell.
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("rossri.NavigationControl, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a60d1a662835ad70")
Once the reference is added, I can then create a new object of the type of my custom webpart. For fun I changed the title and then added it using the webpartmanager object.
$webpart = New-Object rossri.NavigationControl.UserListViewPart.UserListViewPart
$webpart.Title = "NewPart from Powershell"
$webpartmanager.AddWebPart($webpart, "Left", "0")
I checked the page and it was added to the zone I defined.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar apologizing in the Dail. RollingNews
Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar on Tuesday afternoon made a formal state apology to the women and families caught up in the smear test scandal.
He said in the Dail that the state failed hundreds of women by not informing them that they were given incorrect all-clear smear test results before later being diagnosed with cancer.
More than 221 women were affected by the scandal which was finally exposed when the information was forced out in a court action prompted by the appalling treatment of cancer patient Vicky Phelan.

Her courage in taking her plight to court rolled back a blanket of amazing secrecy and revealed vital medical details that were kept from many women.
Following incorrect smear test results in 2011, she was eventually diagnosed with cervical cancer and in January 2018 given six to 12 months to live.
'We are sorry': Campaigners welcome State apology issued to the women and families affected by #CervicalCheck controversy | https://t.co/KjxfqY4LUe pic.twitter.com/dbDmlV4DDU

But the 45-year-old mother of two, who was awarded €2.5million compensation, has since revealed that the tumors in her body have significantly shrunk since discovering and using Pembrolizumab. which all women suffering from cervical cancer will have the option of receiving following a campaign by Phelan.
She revealed last week that she and her husband are now separated, but still sharing the same house as friends for the sake of her children. She told the Irish Daily Mirror they made the decision to split two years ago before her cancer returned, and neither was involved with another partner.
Vicky Phelan.
Almost 80 women affected by the scandal were in the Dail to hear the state apology along with members of their families.
In a statement, the 221+ patient support group said it hopes the apology marks a turning point in the state's "attention to effective governance and accountability" in women's healthcare.
The public health doctor, Gabriel Scally, who led the official inquiry into the scandal said the state apology was "momentous and unprecedented" for the women and their families.

It's no secret that Whitehorse, Yukon is one of the most breathtaking cities in Canada. With its fabulous restaurants, new breweries, great shops, healthy economy, and plentiful outdoor activities, Whitehorse is one of the best cities in which to work and live. With steady economic growth and increasing population, home sales are increasing and home prices are improving. If this trend is any indication of the upcoming real estate market, we can expect a continual improvement in the coming year.
The average house sale price was $423, 300 compared to the average house sale price of $407, 300 in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $16, 000 or 3.9%.
The average condo price was $328, 900 yielding an increase of $30, 800, or 10.3% compared to the first quarter of 2016.
The average price for a duplex sold for $345, 900. The number of duplex sales increased by 57.1% compared to the first quarter of 2016.
The average price for a mobile home during the first quarter of 2017 sold for $247, 700 (Yukon Bureau of Statistics, 2017).
Looking deeper into what is driving this steady improvement nationally and locally, we can see that Whitehorse job growth is increasing and unemployment rates are the lowest they've ever been at 2.3% in August 2017 compared to 7.4% in August 2016 (compared to a national unemployment rate of 6.2%) (Yukon Government, 2017). With consistent job growth, lower unemployment rates, and fast-rising earnings, Whitehorse is proving the strength of its economy.
So what can we predict of the real estate market in 2018? If history is any indication, you can expect long-term steady growth and market resiliency. Whitehorse's growing popularity is no surprise to us. There are many reasons why this northern city is one of the best places to live! | {

A day to remember...
September 7, 1957 Saturday, shortly after noon sparks from a train engine may have started a fire in the brush near the Spokane River. The wind quickly drove the fire to the Paper Mill log yard along the river.
The Paper Mill whistle blew loudly and mill employees jumped into action to contain the blaze. Hundreds of neighbors, professional and volunteer fire fighters along with 250 airmen from Fairchild Air Force Base battled the Millwood blazes. Regional Fire Departments, Sheriff's Department, State Patrol, and Civil Defense workers assisted in combating the fires and controlling traffic.
Big log piles were burning, black smoke rising, railroad rails bending like pretzels, with the hot fire. The firefighters battled for 24 hours and did keep it away from the mill.
Women volunteers moved into the worst areas to carry drinks to the fire fighters. Millwood residents and The Salvation Army furnished coffee and food to weary firefighters at the Masonic Hall. No one was injured with this fire. The wind-whipped fire drew hundreds of onlookers and automobiles, on both sides of the river.
Nearly 8.5 million board feet of logs burned, about ¼ of the log pile.

Recollections of the Paper Mill fire....
Marc Richert
I was around 8 years old at the time and did not realize what transpired that afternoon and later evening regarding the fire that occurred at the Millwood paper mill and surrounding stacks of logs. A fire originated by a spark from a steam engine or other railroad yard equipment and lasted well into the evening hours, destroying several months supply of logs awaiting processing. A vast amount of logs were stacked along the south side of the river bank and extended eastward for a considerable distance; reports estimated a 2 to 3 month supply of logs were stored along paper mill property.
I remember going with my father in the car heading east on Upriver Drive later that evening and surveying what had happened. The emergency whistle at the Mill alerted the Community to an impending disaster so naturally nearly everyone wanted to learn of the circumstances. My father and I drove to a point on the north bank of the Spokane River about where the Centennial Trailhead and bicycle bridge now converge (east of Plante's Ferry and down river from the rock outcroppings) and walked in a short distance to see first-hand the burning mass of logs . This was obviously no small pile of logs and the fire was fully engulfed from this point all the way along the south bank toward the Mill.
Fortunately the Mill, private homes and businesses were spared thanks to emergency response personnel. The monetary loss of a valuable commercial resource was estimated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars for the time period. Thankfully, not anywhere as devastating as the 1889 Spokane fire but just as every bit a "day to remember" in the experience of many Millwood residents.
If you have memories of the Millwood fire, pictures or other information you are invited to contact Millwood History Enthusiasts. We like to hear from the Community.

It was my first formal birthday party that I remember while I was growing up. On Saturday, September 7, 1957, I had happily invited a few friends and my sisters to celebrate. My dad had built a large fiberglass wading pool for my sisters, Julie, Becky, Elizabeth and me and placed it in our backyard on Liberty. He had the great idea of stocking the pool with real trout so we could go fishing as one of the party activities. We were having a great time. Anne Pierce Aslin, wearing her new felt skirt, fell in the pool. She still says I pushed her but I don't think so.
Shortly after noon while we were enjoying ourselves, we suddenly heard the paper mill whistle. The paper mill was a central part of Millwood. Many people in the neighborhood worked there. My grandfather, Chester A. Buckland had recently retired as president of IEP and my father was the current plant engineer. This was the major way the community knew what time it was since the whistle would blow at 7:00 AM, noon, 12:45 Pm and 4:00 PM. But this whistle wasn't blowing at the scheduled time. Soon it became evident that the whistle was to alert the community that a major fire was going on at the paper mill. Dad left immediately to help fight the blaze. We didn't see him for the rest of the day.
So my memories of my birthday party were mostly of worry about what was happening, were people OK, and when would the fire be out. I was mostly worried about if Dad was OK.

As for personal memories... as a kid, IT was exciting! All the commotion, crowds of neighbors watching and fighting the fire, and our "favorite playground" on fire. The heat was intense and the firefighters kept wanting everyone to stay back. I know all the adults were worried and upset. Many of our neighbors and my uncle worked at the mill. So it was very personal for them. The bank was very brushy and treed at that time so there was concern that the fire would spread to nearby homes as well as West to the mill itself. My Dad got off work at 1:00 and was involved with fighting the fire at the warehouse on Empire.

I remember the frantic sound of the mill whistle as it soared up and down its tonal range. Off duty employees living in our neighborhood north of Liberty were soon running toward the mill. Later that afternoon Mom (Jean [Buckland] Green) took Sally and me to help out at the Masonic hall where sandwiches and beverages were prepared for the fire fighters. We worked way past my ten-year-old bedtime. I remember standing bleary-eyed, as the night seemed to never end.

I remember being at the Dishman theater with Nikki, Susan and Jeff Batson that Saturday. After we were picked up I worked at the Masonic hall serving sandwiches to the firefighters on their breaks. My mom, Jean Green, had to pull me away from a table when one of the guys, probably one of those young airmen, got a bit fresh.

Saturday at approximately 12:15pm, someone noticed a fire down near the railroad tracks near the log piles. The paper mill received the fire call about 4 minutes later.
This was a hot – windy summer day and I lived at E. 9014 Frederick, a couple of blocks from the paper mill. [My sister, Virginia Anderson's birthday was on Sunday, Sept. 8 and she invited several friends to a small party on Saturday.] We were [in the back yard] celebrating my sister's 20th Birthday when the paper mill whistle started blowing to alert the mill employee's and firemen of a fire. The code, 3 long blasts and 3 – short blasts repeated several times.
I had been attending some recent fire drills so I ran inside to check the fire whistle code. The whistle did not blow on Saturdays unless there was a fire call.
Living a couple of blocks from the paper mill, I hurried towards the mill to see what I could see. I saw lots of smoke and fire in the log piles and people running to help. I helped extend and man hose lines for several hours till dinnertime.
As the fire was spreading, more fire departments were called to help. Valley Fire Department, Spokane Fire Department, Fairchild Air Force, Civil Defense, U.S. Naval Supply Air Station, Naval Supply at Industrial Park. An estimated 15 fire trucks responded and an estimate of 1000 people helped extend hose lines, turned on fire hydrants and brought food and water to those that needed. I think most of Millwood's Residents were there helping.
A couple of hours later and approx 2:00pm, the mill whistle started blowing again for another fire at the old apple warehouse on Empire, a couple blocks east of Argonne. Several trucks were sent there to fight that fire. As more reports came in of fire embers blowing across the river to Pasadena Park, crews were sent to extinguish them. Also, paper mill employees were busy setting up sprinklers on top of and close by log piles to try to keep fire off of them.
The fire destroyed approximately 8 million board feet of logs, ¾ mile Railroad track and ties. Logs were Western Hemlock, White Pine, and White Spruce. Estimated loss of $400,000.
The cause of the fire was probably a steam locomotive and extremely hot dry grass near the tracks and log pile. Extremely hot dry weather and high winds spread the fire quickly.
[After the fire, IEP stored the logs differently. They separated them into small piles and they put sprinklers up on top.]

Multiple sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. It is a white matter disease, in which myelin sheaths surrounding the axons of neurons are destroyed. Myelin sheath is important in isolating axon from the environment. It works like the plastic wrapped around your electrical cords. Without these myelin sheaths, the electrical impulse will not be as conductive as before. In MS patients, the myelin destruction is found in the cerebellum, the brain stem, the spinal cord, and optical nerves. Symptoms of MS depend on the part of the brain or spinal cord the disease attacks, even though there are no symptoms that are unique to MS. Generally, MS patients feel fatigue, having difficulty walking, stiffness and muscular spasms. They may also have bladder problem, memory problem and pain or unpleasant sensations.

I'm a fan of old factories. what did this building use to be used for?
Hi Alex, it was once a repair facility for steam locomotives. It was just one of many buildings on the site, it is now part of the NC transportation museum in Spencer.
Thank you so much TJ, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much Ray, it's a beautiful old structure. | {

This is the third incident in January. On January 4, two buses viz. one near Sancheti Hospital and another one coming to a depot after getting fitness certificate from RTO at Dive Ghat, caught fire.
PUNE: Despite a meeting of the 12-member action committee, which was set up after several fire incidents were reported on Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) buses in last few months, a bus caught fire yet again on Wednesday.
As many as 35 passengers barely managed to escape when Nigdi-Katraj bus (MH 12 KQ 1186) caught fire near RMD Sinhgad School on the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway near Warje. The incident took place at 11.30 am. As per the information provided by the fire department, driver Ramesh Ugle detected smoke in the bus. He alerted all passengers and asked them to deboard. The bus was completely engulfed by fire after a few minutes.
"The bus was carrying 35 passengers and was coming from Nigdi and going towards Katraj. The alert driver asked the passengers to deboard and as a result, nobody was injured. The CNG bus belongs to the Anthony Garage Private Limited and was being operated on a contract basis. A notice has been sent to the contractor," said PMPML's spokesperson Subhash Gaikwad.
This is the third incident in January. On January 4, two buses viz. one near Sancheti Hospital and another one coming to a depot after getting fitness certificate from RTO at Dive Ghat, caught fire. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
The PMPML administration had formed a committee of 12 members which includes members from Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Central Institute of Road Transport (CIRT), RTO and engineers of PMPML on January 8. The committee was formed after a meeting held with Chairman and Managing Director of PMPML Nayana Gunde. During the meeting, it was decided that these members will look into all technical problems, fire audit and inspect all buses every month. The formed committee met first time on January 22 a week after a bus caught fire.
The committee is yet to find a solution to prevent fire accidents. The committee was also instructed to check all buses whether CNG or diesel, visit depots and conduct meetings regularly. It was also instructed that the committee has to conduct a meeting in the first week of every month and the report has to submitted to the CMD.
The committee comprises Prashant Nikam of ARAI, SN Dhole of CIRT, Anil Panto of RTO, Ganesh Choudhary of Tata Motors, Kamil Nazir of Ashok Leyland, Rahul Darne of Fire Audit Consultant, Ganesh Thate of Anthony Garage Pvt Ltd., Prakash Shirke of Mahalaxmi Automotives, Chief Engineer of PMPML Kailash Gawde, Chief Engineer 1 of PMPML Sunil Burse, Store Manager of PMPML Anant Waghmare and Maintenance Engineer of PMPML Vijay Ranjne. | {

est un jeu vidéo sorti en 2003 sur Game Boy Advance. Il s'agit du second épisode d'un jeu de rôle en deux parties, le premier s'appelant Golden Sun sorti un an plus tôt, également sur Game Boy Advance.
Un troisième opus, Golden Sun: Obscure Aurore, se déroulant 30 ans plus tard est sorti sur Nintendo DS en 2010.
Trame
Synopsis
Le joueur incarne Pavel, Lina, Cylia et Piers, accompagnés du vieil alchimiste Thélos.
Le jeu commence là où s'arrête le premier épisode. Dans le but opposé du premier opus, il faut allumer les deux phares restants pour briser le sceau qui emprisonne le pouvoir de l'Alchimie et ainsi ramener le monde dans un âge d'or. Alors que dans le premier épisode, il était question d'empêcher les phares de briller afin d'empêcher la destruction du monde.
De prime abord trois, à savoir Pavel, Lina et Cylia, le groupe fait de Piers (mystique affilié a l'eau) un allié plus tard dans le jeu.
En effet, après avoir remis le bateau en marche et après avoir découvert que pour aller à Lémuria, il fallait d'abord vaincre Poséidon, responsable des courants marins dont la vitesse de chacun est élevée, à l'aide du Trident d'Ankhol et alors que le groupe parvient à rentrer dans Lémuria, Piers découvre que sa mère est morte d'une maladie, mais rejoindra Pavel et les autres au Palais, ainsi que Lunpa.
Ici, la vérité sera révélée sur le fait que les phares doivent être allumés : sans l'énergie des phares, Weyard se meurt petit à petit, tandis que le contraire pourrait le sauver, mais à des conséquences dramatiques. Malgré tout, le groupe de Pavel se dirige en Hésperie, afin d'apprendre la psynergie «Flotter», psynergie qui sera nécessaire au Phare de Jupiter.
Alors qu'ils s'y trouvent, ils voient Vlad et son groupe en difficulté contre Agatio et Karstine. Dès lors que le phare est allumé, les deux héros rentrent à Contigo afin d'expliquer pourquoi Pavel a agi ainsi. Comprenant qu'ils doivent sauver le monde en allumant les 4 phares, Vlad et son équipe rejoignent celle de Pavel et des autres.
Alors qu'ils se dirigent vers le Phare de Mars, Pavel, Vlad et Thélos révèlent aux chefs du village de Prox que Salamandar et Phoenixia sont morts au cours du combat au sommet du Phare de Vénus contre Vlad et son équipe. Malgré tout, ils parviennent à la zone centrale du Phare de Mars, mais leur chemin est interrompu par Agatio et Karstine, changés en dragon par l'Inexorable. Durant leur dernier souffle, ces derniers supplient Pavel de rallumer le Phare de Mars qui lui le réchauffe avec l'étoile de Mars.
Arrivés au sommet du Phare, l'Inexorable les attend et est surpris de voir que Vlad et Garet ont décidé d'allumer les phares également. Après lui avoir dit qu'ils ne renonceraient pas à allumer le dernier phare et que l'Inexorable leur explique qu'en continuant, ils formeront le Soleil d'Or dont la lumière s'abattra directement sur le Mont Alpha, ce dernier exige cependant qu'ils doivent d'abord battre un miracle : un dragon à 3 têtes. Avant que le combat commence, Thélos comprend que le dragon à 2 têtes était la fusion de Salamandar et de Phoenixia et, par déduction, que celui-ci n'était autre que les 3 victimes du rocher d'il y a 3 ans auparavant : le père de Vlad et les parents de Lina et Pavel. Lorsque tout le groupe le remarqua, ils tentèrent de les sauver. Malgré tout, Pavel allume le Phare de Mars, ce qui a pour conséquence de rétablir les 3 victimes.
Au moment de quitter Prox, Vlad et Pavel se demandent pourquoi l'Inexorable a transformé leurs parents et père en dragons. Thélos suppose qu'il les a testés pour savoir si Vlad était prêt à utiliser l'Alchimie pour le bien ou le mal.
Après ces événements, Alex, qui a reçu le rayon du Soleil d'Or, se croit invincible, jusqu'à ce que l'Inexorable le mette à terre facilement. Ce dernier lui explique qu'il a placé l'essence du Soleil d'Or dans l'étoile de Mars que contenait Vlad. Alors que le Mont Alpha s'effondre, Alex "meurt" et le groupe arrive à Val, pour découvrir que leur village natal a été entièrement détruit. Mais la surprise fut de taille car tout le monde a survécu : en effet, l'Inexorable avait averti tout le monde de s'éloigner des 4 Phares et les avait prévenu que la venue du Soleil d'Or allait avoir des conséquences dévastatrices, donc de trouver refuge. L'histoire se finit par les retrouvailles de tout le monde.
Personnages
Jouables
Pavel : Mystique de Vénus. Convaincu lors de son long enlèvement de la nécessité d'allumer les Phares élémentaires, Pavel cherche à allumer le Phare de Jupiter et de Mars dans l'espoir de faire revenir l'Alchimie dans le monde et libérer ses parents toujours retenus en otage par les Proxiens.
Lina : Mystique de Mars. Sœur de Pavel, depuis qu'elle a retrouvé ce dernier, elle l'accompagne et le soutient dans sa quête.
Cylia : Mystique de Jupiter. Elle appartenait à la Tribu d'Anémos qui, lors de leur envol dans les cieux avec leur navire immense, a laissé tomber Cylia dans le vide, qui s'est retrouvée à Lalivero où elle a été adoptée. D'abord retenue en otage par Salamandar et Phoenixia pour empêcher le groupe de Vlad de les gêner dans leurs plans, et afin d'avoir une mystique de l'Air avec eux, Cylia, après la mort de ses ravisseurs, chute du Phare de Vénus lors du tremblement de terre. Pavel saute alors pour la sauver, et ils survivent, et Cylia décide en retour d'aider le groupe à allumer les Phares restants, étant elle aussi convaincue de la nécessité de faire retourner l'Alchimie dans Weyard.
Piers : Mystique de Mercure. Marin originaire de Lémuria, la cité mythique où la jeunesse est perpétuelle. Tolbi, le père de Babi, le seigneur de Gondowan, avait réussi à trouver Lémuria mais avait volé l'un de ses navires alchimiques (qu'il confie à son fils qui le confiera à Vlad par la suite), ce qui avait déclenché la colère de Poséïdon, le gardien protecteur de Lémuria, qui, dans sa fureur, avait décidé d'engloutir la ville sous les flots. Heureusement, un champ de force avait été créé par les Lémuriens pour sauver ce qui restait. A la suite d'un oracle du roi, et repoussé par la fureur de Poséidon, Piers décide de partir lui aussi avec un bateau pour parcourir le monde et rechercher certaines personnes. Victime du raz-de-marée provoqué par le séisme de Vénus, lui et son bateau se retrouvent projetés contre la côte d'Alhafra. Il est alors capturé, pris pour l'un des pirates de Briggs, mais l'aide de Pavel et ses amis finit par le faire libérer. A la suite de cela, Piers accepte de les accompagner en leur prêtant son navire, qui leur permet de voguer à travers les mers et découvrir les nouveaux continents de Weyard, dont Lémuria.
Vlad : Mystique de Vénus. Toujours convaincu de la nécessité d'empêcher Pavel et consorts d'allumer les Phares, il décide lui aussi avec les siens de partir protéger les phares restants. Lui aussi possède désormais le navire lémurien, et, contrairement à Golden Sun 1, Vlad ne sera jouable qu'en seconde partie d'aventure, pouvant même être échangé avec d'autres mystiques lors des combats. Finalement, il comprend la quête de Pavel et des Proxiens, et décide de les aider à allumer les phares.
Garet : Mystique de Mars. Toujours auprès de son ami d'enfance Vlad.
Sofia : Mystique de Mercure. Elle reste auprès des trois autres garçons et poursuit leur quête.
Ivan : Mystique de Jupiter. Il reste auprès du groupe.
Non-jouables
Thélos : Etudiant en alchimie de Val, son âge canonique ne l'empêche pas de parcourir tout Weyard en compagnie des guerriers mystiques. Ses connaissances sont précieuses et aident le groupe de Pavel à progresser plus avant dans leur quête. Thélos avait été enlevé par Salamandar, Phoenixia et Alex afin de faire pression sur Pavel et Lina pour les forcer à allumer les phares, et également pour tenir les autres guerriers de Val à distance. Cependant, après la mort de Salamandar et Phoenixia, Thélos, Pavel et Lina se retrouvent seuls avec Alex, puis sont séparés de lui après le tremblement de terre subséquent à l'allumage du Phare de Vénus. Thélos aide alors Pavel, Lina, et Cylia (que Pavel a sauvée) à allumer les phares restants, d'abord par peur de représailles concernant Alex mais aussi les parents des mystiques retenus en otage à Prox, mais aussi plus tard par conviction que l'Alchimie doit être restaurée dans Weyard. Thélos apprend notamment dans le jeu la mort de Babi, son ancien maître et tuteur, mais cela ne le démotive pas pour autant de découvrir Lémuria en son nom.
Briggs : Le chef des pirates de Champa. Il fait régner la terreur le long des côtes de Madra et d'Alhafra, et est amené à apporter son aide au groupe de Pavel, non sans l'avoir d'abord provoqué en duel. En effet, les connaissances maritimes de Briggs aident Pavel et les autres à en savoir plus sur le reste de Weyard, et Obaba, la grand-mère de Briggs, est capable de forger des armes pour les mystiques dans la fournaise de Champa. Le fils de Briggs, Eoléo, semble développer des pouvoirs de Mars dans le jeu. Au départ, Briggs est un brigand responsable de nombreux méfaits, mais il décide de se ranger lorsque le groupe de Pavel le convainc de stopper ses actes de piraterie et de rembourser Alhafra et Madra, et aussi lorsqu'il apprend que l'Alchimie pourrait faire retrouver sa grandeur à Champa et aux Ruines d'Ankohl.
L'Inexorable : Cet être fait de pierre et ne possédant qu'un seul œil a été créé il y a longtemps pour veiller sur Weyard. Depuis le vol des Etoiles Elementaires, il fait tout pour empêcher le retour de l'Alchimie dans le monde, qu'il juge dangereux et contraire à la punition que méritait Weyard pour ses méfaits, mais ne peut agir que de manière indirecte, puisqu'il ne peut se mêler des affaires des humains. A la fin du jeu, alors que les groupes de Vlad et de Pavel effectuent l'ascension du Phare de Mars, il transforme Agatio et Karstine en dragons pour tenter de faire barrage aux mystiques (ce qui se solde par la mort probable des deux guerriers de Prox), et va même jusqu'à transformer le père de Vlad et les parents de Pavelet Lina en dragon surpuissant à trois têtes, qui est finalement tué par les mystiques. Lorsque ces derniers découvrent les agissements de l'Inexorable, ils le considèrent sans-cœur et cruel, mais non seulement les parents revivent grâce à la lumière du Soleil d'Or et du Phare de Mars, mais en plus il est révélé que l'Inexorable savait cela, et a même protégé les habitants de Val et des villes proches des phares car il savait que des cataclysmes allaient se produire. Les mystiques changent donc d'avis sur l'Inexorable. Lorsque l'Alchimie est restaurée, l'Inexorable met hors d'état de nuire Alex pour lui prouver que tous ses plans n'ont servi à rien, qu'il ne sera jamais immortel ni tout-puissant. Il le laisse alors sur le Mont Alpha qui se détruit sous l'effet du Soleil d'Or, espérant qu'Alex s'en sorte et comprenne que même en ayant les pouvoirs de l'Alchimie, il a encore bien des choses à apprendre.
Kyle : Le père de Vlad, vraisemblablement tué lors de l'orage du Mont Alpha qui a ravagé une partie de Val. On apprend dans le jeu que Kyle est en fait bien vivant et qu'il a été emmené en otage à Prox pour forcer les guerriers de Val à allumer les phares. Il est très bien traité par les Proxiens et comprend leur désir de survie. Il est transformé en dragon par l'Inexorable à la fin du jeu et meurt sous les coups des guerriers de Val, mais revit grâce à la lumière de Mars et du Soleil d'Or. Il rejoint ensuite son fils et les autres pour reconstruire Val.
Dora : La mère de Vlad, elle est sauvée elle et les autres habitants de Val par l'Inexorable, qui les prévient que Val va être détruite sous l'effet du Soleil d'Or. A la fin du jeu, elles rejoint son mari et ses enfants et ils reconstruisent Val.
Parents de Garet : Ils sont sauvés par l'Inexorable qui les prévient que Val va être détruite par le Soleil d'Or. Ensuite, ils retrouvent leur fils et reconstruisent le village avec les autres.
Parents de Pavel et Lina : Ils étaient crus morts par les habitants de Val après l'orage du Mont Alpha, mais ils ont en fait été emmenés en otage à Prox pour forcer les mystiques à allumer les phares. A la fin du jeu, ils sont transformés en dragon tout comme Kyle, mais revivent sous l'effet de la lumière de Mars et Soleil d'Or. Ils reconstruisent Val avec leurs enfants et les autres par la suite.
Ennemis
Agatio : Mystique de Mars. Issu du peuple Proxien, humano-dragon, il cherche à la fois à venger Salamandar et Phoenixia et à forcer Pavel et les autres à terminer ce que leurs anciens ravisseurs ont commencé. Lorsque Vlad et les autres tentent d'empêcher le Phare de Jupiter d'être allumé, lui et Karstine attaquent le groupe, défendu par Pavel et les siens. Plus tard, au Phare de Mars, souhaitant davantage se venger que d'aider le groupe à allumer le Phare de Mars, lui et Karstine se transforment en dragons géants pour les combattre, mais ils perdent finalement.
Karstine : Mystique de Mars. Issue du peuple Proxien, humano-dragon. Elle cherche à venger la mort de sa sœur Phoenixia, tout en cherchant à accomplir le but des Proxiens qui est d'allumer les Phares Elementaires et de rétablir l'Alchimie dans Weyard pour empêcher les Chutes de Gaïa de désintégrer le village de Prox. Cependant, elle et Agatio, davantage mus par la vengeance, refusent d'aider les guerriers de Val et les combattent au contraire, ce qui les mènera à leur perte.
Alex : Mystique de Mercure. L'électron libre du Golden Sun 1. Issu d'Imil, tout comme Sofia, Alex a un jour trahi les siens pour rejoindre le but des Proxiens et chercher à rallumer les Phares. Mais en réalité, Alex ne souhaite le retour de l'Alchimie que par soif de pouvoir : il veut accaparer tout le pouvoir du Soleil d'Or pour lui tout seul et devenir immortel et tout-puissant. Finalement, lorsque le Phare de Mars est allumé et que le Soleil d'Or se lève au-dessus du Mont Alpha, Alex l'escalade en vitesse et se tient en dessous afin d'en recevoir toute la puissance du rayonnement. Il se croit alors invincible et tente de tuer l'Inexorable, qui lui prouve que se pouvoirs sont limités, qu'il n'est pas immortel, et que le vrai pouvoir du Soleil d'Or se trouve entre les mains des guerriers de Val. Alors que le Mont Alpha s'écroule et s'enfonce dans la terre, Alex semble ne pas réussir à bouger, encore sonné de l'attaque de l'Inexorable, et sombre, apparemment, dans les profondeurs du sol.
Système de jeu
Les nouveautés de ce jeu concernent avant tout le scénario et l'atmosphère du jeu ; .
Le scénario change radicalement de point de vue : Pavel n'a pas comme Vlad une âme de justicier. Ses actions sont dictées par son objectif final et pas par sa bonté d'âme. Cela ne nuit pas à l'immersion du jeu mais le rend plus mature et moins old-school que son prédécesseur. Les Psynergies utilisables hors combat sont plus nombreuses et plus originales, ce qui permet des énigmes plus complexes. Les lieux visités sont plus nombreux et surtout plus marquants, grâce à une bande son de qualité. Deux nouveaux antagonistes, Karstine et Agatio, apparaissent. Ils appartiennent au « Clan du Feu du Nord », comme Salamandar et Phoenixia, et utilisent le feu.
Le jeu reprend en grande partie le gameplay de Golden Sun. L'accent a toutefois été mis sur la partie exploration de cet opus avec la création d'un monde 2 a 3 fois plus grand que celui du premier opus. Néanmoins, quelques innovations sont notables, tel qu'un bateau permettant de se diriger librement sur la mer et dans les rivières. De plus, à un stade avancé du scénario, le groupe de Vlad finit par rejoindre celui de Pavel, ce qui donne un groupe de huit héros, bien que seuls quatre d'entre eux prennent part aux combats.

PHOTOS: Arkansas unveils new Dallas Cowboys replica Nike uniforms for Texas A&M game
Paul Harvey | 2 years ago
The Arkansas Razorbacks will be wearing some cool uniforms to honor one of their famous alumni Saturday.
The Razorbacks will be facing off with Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and the Hogs will wear special Cowboys-themed uniforms for the contest. AT&T Stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys and is commonly referred to as "The House that Jerry (Jones) Built."
The tribute is a unique way to honor Jones who played for Arkansas and was a member of the 1964 national championship team. Jones is currently the owner, president, and general manager of the Cowboys.
Razorbacks Football unveiled the unique uniforms on Twitter Sunday:

I absolutely love these uniforms. Best ones we've had in a long time. Hope we wear these regularly from now on. Now we can look good while we get beat on Saturday.

Hope they made em for bigger kahonas, because unless we grow a pair , its going to be the same ol song and dance . The worst team A&M has had since joining the league and we finally think we can slip up on them…….sad.

I like it. I'm a fan of traditional looking uniforms. Some of the alternates teams wear are little too out there.

I just finished reading the novel, "Fearless". It's about a young, troubled guy from Arkansas who joined the Navy and became a Navy SEAL, for DEVGRU (aka SEAL Team 6). He was a sniper. Long story short, at one point in training he lost his dominant eye, his shooting eye. Literally had his eye shot out. The fake eyeball had a Razorback on it. Looked INSANE. Instead of discharging him from the Team, the Navy made him go through Sniper school again, to prove he could make it with his left, non-dominant eye. He made it. He was a die-hard Razorback fan. I won't spoil the story for those who want to read it. One of the most inspirational stories I've ever read.

I like them. I'd love them if the Hog were red with the white outline.
Nomad 2 years ago

Hope they give you that Kryptonite feel when you play anybody but us. Roll Tide and go Hogs!!!

WIDEFIELD, Colo. – High school yearbooks were recalled so that administrators could black out a joke caption under one student's picture: "most likely to assassinate President Bush."
Mesa Ridge High School (search) officials recalled about 100 yearbooks earlier this month and had staffers use markers to obscure the words in them and in the still-undistributed copies. The Secret Service even launched an investigation.
"They kind of ruined our yearbook," said Christina Tredway, who just graduated from the school just south of Colorado Springs. Most students thought the blacking-out was a bad idea since the caption obviously was a joke, she said.
Widefield School District (search) officials called the caption a prank that wasn't caught before the yearbooks were printed, and district spokesman James Drew said future yearbooks will be triple-checked before printing.
Lon Garner, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Denver District, said the agency would look into the incident because all threats against the president must be investigated.
"That's our mission," he said. "That's what we do."
There were several other joke captions in the book, including "most likely to forget his gown at graduation." Names of those involved were not released. | {

Niskanen Center in the News—Week of April 8
Defense analyst Matthew Fay wrote a piece for War on the Rocks, discussing the "bow wave" and the military balance. Fay's recent Defense One op-ed was also featured in the outlet's weekly round-up.
Director of immigration policy David Bier wrote for The Hill that there seems to be a troubling trend of the State Department discriminating against Syrians. Research associate Matthew la Corte wrote two op-eds that appeared in the Huffington Post: one is about the international movement of resettling refugees via private sponsorship which the United States has been slow to adapt. The second piece points out that the United States has only achieved a meager 13 percent of its Syrian refugee resettlement goal.

Search in S.Pellegrino...
Leslie Hottiaux is the winner of the Pacific final
Leslie Hottiaux from Apero Food & Wine, Auckland, New Zealand has been named as the winner following the Pacific regional final of S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2016 – the global talent search to find the best young chef in the world.
Competing against nine other carefully selected young chefs from across the Pacific region at a Melbourne venue, Hottiaux took first place with her vegetarian dish of 'Potato Gnocchi' Mushrooms, Pine Nuts and Truffle. "As my restaurant is all about meat, I wished to create something intrinsically vegetarian, in doing so I wanted the dish to be all about flavour and texture" she explained.
A local jury of renowned chefs, namely: Peter Gilmore, Peter Doyle, Jacques Reymond, Andrew McConnell and Adam D'Sylva were responsible for judging each of the ten semi-finalists signature dishes in line with the criteria set out under the five "Golden Rules": ingredients, skills, genius, beauty and message.
Chef Hottiaux's thoughts are now with the next challenge that lies ahead, the Grand Final: "I'm thrilled to represent Australia Pacific in Milan. The Grand Final in October will be a great opportunity to meet and compete against other young chefs from all over the world."

Review: Buckle and Seam Concorde Passport Holder
reviewed 1 Feb 2019 by Andrew Brady
Room for passport, cash and cards
Can be engraved
An expensive passport holder. The sort of thing you buy to help you feel good about yourself. And, thanks to Buckle&Seams' commitment to donate a proportion of its profits to educating girls in Pakistan and providing good working conditions for its staff, it's also something you can buy without feeling guilty.
It's made from vegetable-tanned cow leather and has space for your passport as well as cash, cards and various other travel documents. You can buy it in blue or brown and, for an extra fee, can have it engraved with your initials.
What's it like?
It feels soft and looks like a premium product. It's quite big - you could almost lose a passport inside it. It doesn't really fit around a passport; rather, a passport is one of the many things you can carry in it. You could almost replace your wallet with it.
Having said that, it's not particularly secure. Open it up carelessly and cards could easily be scattered over the airport floor. It does, however, feel pleasingly slimline - you could happily carry it in your back pocket.
Even after fairly light use, our test passport holder started to show signs of wear fairly quickly. That's part of the charm of leather products, though - they age over time, and it's not like most of us use a passport holder every day.
Do you really need a passport holder? They're extra bulk to carry around when travelling, and passports will fit neatly into most pockets or handbags. It's an extravagant purchase - especially if you pay to get it engraved, bringing the total cost to £71. There are cheaper passport holders out there - even Radley ones are currently less than half the price at John Lewis.
Do you get what you pay for? Yes and no. It does feel like a special product, especially if you have it engraved, and it might make for a nice present for someone who travels regularly. It's a lot of money for an item that doesn't hold a passport particularly well, though, and it's not going to replace a conventional wallet entirely.
Pros Feels premium Plenty of space for all your documents Ethically produced
Cons Expensive Leather wears quickly A bit large for just a passport
Premium vegetable tanned cow leather
Fits your passport, a ticket, 2 cards and cash
Measurements: 15,0cm x 11,2cm

Hadza social organisation
Hadzabe people - Photo Credits: Romina Facchi
The Hadza are hunter-gatherers who live along the shores of Lake Eyasi in Northern Tanzania; their lifestyle and customs have changed little or at all over the last 10,000 years.
They live in small clans of 20-30 individuals and they are not sedentary but move constantly in search of resources on whom they feed.
The organisation of the Hadza society is not complex at all: they do not recognise any leader and no member of the community can boast a particular power, there are no social obligations and they do not celebrate rites, i.e. no religious celebrations, birthday anniversaries, funerals or weddings.
The Hadza are the most ancient and primitive community of Tanzania, and their way of living is like that of primitive men, before the birth of agriculture.
The concept of wealth is unknown to the Hadza, their assets are limited to a few items and tools: a pot, a blanket, a container for water and honey and hunting weapons.
The hunted prey and food resources in general are shared by the entire clan, which is precisely why a clan consists of maximum 30 members: a larger clan would not be able to procure enough food from the hunted preys, which are usually baby gazelles or baboons.
Religious rituals are virtually non-existent: the Hadza do not have any belief about afterlife and, therefore, there are neither shamans and medicine men, nor any special funeral rite, but corpses are generally buried in a hole dug into the ground, and sometimes they are left in the open for spotted hyenas to eat and after it they move their camp elsewhere.
The Hadza do not believe in any divinity but they believe in a presence that manifests itself in the sun, they practice the ancestors' worship and believe in their presence under the form of ghosts.
The Hadza have a very primitive approach to marriage: there are no wedding ceremonies, but a couple that sleeps next to each other at the same fire for a few nights may eventually refer to themselves as married.
Village life is extremely simple, primitive and unorganised: in the dry season, May through October, the Hadza do not build any village but just sleep in the open air on a mat made with the skin of animals, and surround the area with bonfires to keep the animals away.
In this way they can easily move in search of new areas for hunting or gathering; the "camp" is also moved when a hunted prey is too big to be carried to the place where the group is camped, this happens, for example, when they hunt a buffalo or find the corpse of big animals, such as an elephant or a giraffe.
The Hadza build simple huts or find shelter in caves or crevices only during the rainy season.
The most important Hadza ritual is the epeme dance, that takes place on moonless nights: the women sing while the men, one at a time, don a feathered headdress and tie bells around their ankles and strut about, stomping their right foot in time with the singing. Supposedly, on epeme nights, ancestors emerge from the bushes and join the dancing.
The life of this people is very tough in many ways; there is no school education or medical care, and women simply give birth just squatting in the bushes.
Life expectancy is very low: about a fifth of all babies die within their first year and nearly half of all the children do not make it to the age of 15, they have to cope with extreme heat and frequent thirst and swarming tsetse flies and malaria-laced mosquitoes.

Spousal Consent: Get it Signed!
While many business owners will knowingly take on risk to pursue their business venture, I would gamble to say that they are mostly, if not all, risk-averse when it comes to the possibility their business (company) could be dragged into a contentious divorce of one of its shareholders.
Marriages, where a spouse is a partner, member or shareholder in a business, is not unusual; in fact, with the explosion of start-up and emerging growth companies, it seems like it is the norm rather than the exception. These business interests are most often accompanied by a corporate agreement, typically a shareholder, buy-sell or operating agreement, signed by the spouse working in the business. This agreement dictates the spouse's rights and obligations with the business. But what about the spouse who is not working in the business? Is he or she bound by these same terms?
The Spousal Consent Form
The document that is usually the last page of the corporate agreement signed by a spouse is a "Spousal Consent" form. Before discussing best practices of such a consent form, it is important to note that in California, Registered Domestic Partners have essentially the same rights as a spouse and therefore the consent of a Registered Domestic Partner should be obtained the same as a spouse. [For ease of this post, these consent forms will be referred to as "Spousal Consent" forms and the spouses or Registered Domestic Partner of the person working in the business will be referred to as the "spouse".]
The Spousal Consent form typically seeks the consent of the spouse to the terms of the corporate agreement so that the same terms agreed to by the working spouse bind the spouse with regards to the spouse's rights and obligations with the business including the disposition of the community property interest in the business. This is important from the standpoint of the business because the business hopes to predict what will occur when a member dies, retires, or divorces (i.e., provides the business with control over who will be involved in ownership) and intends that the terms in the agreement will prevent the business from being part of a divorce between spouses. Future posts will focus on the best practices of these corporate agreements in the context of divorce, but this post focuses on the best practices relating to the Spousal Consent, which are:
Not at the dinner table. It is important that the spouse that is asked to sign the Spousal Consent be provided a fair opportunity to review not just the Spousal Consent form, but the corporate agreement itself. Therefore, the working spouse should be advised by the business' lawyer that it is not advisable to bring just the Spousal Consent form to his or her spouse for signature or to bring the corporate agreement itself to his or her spouse at the dinner table asking for a signature while sitting at dinner. Rather, the agreement should be provided to the working spouse's spouse in its entirety giving him or her the opportunity to review the entire agreement.
Independent counsel with waivers. The Spousal Consent itself should provide, thereby informing the spouse, that he or she has a right to seek and consult with independent counsel before signing the Spousal Consent. The failure to seek counsel will constitute a wavier, which should be expressly stated in the Spousal Consent. As stated above, the spouse should be given a reasonable opportunity to seek the advice of counsel.
Failure to do it right may constitute a breach of fiduciary duty. If the working spouse does not give his or her spouse the fair opportunity to read the entire Agreement and time to seek independent counsel, one can imagine that the spouse who signed the Spousal Consent without full knowledge of its legal implications or signed under pressure, may claim his or her spouse breached their fiduciary duty owed as a result of their marital relationship.
I spend a lot of time speaking with corporate lawyers and reviewed many of these Spousal Consent forms and am aware of how many of them get signed at the dinner table without a full review by the other spouse. And, while I understand all of the reasons why there is concern about giving a spouse the full opportunity to review the agreement including with counsel, my question to every business owner and their corporate counsel is, would you sign an agreement without the opportunity to read, review and discuss this agreement with a lawyer? Invariably, the answer is "no"
As business owners and corporate counsel, there should be no disagreement that the goal is for all contracts entered into be done with the thought of reliance and enforceability so as to mitigate risk if the agreement must be enforced. If this is the goal, then the same rules of entering a contract should be applied to the Spousal Consent form.

Family members plea for help after 16-year-old abducted, possibly shot in Orange County
The family of an Orange County teenager is searching for answers after their son was abducted and possibly shot at Friday evening.
An Amber Alert went out around 7 p.m. after Winter Garden police said Bruce Hagans, 16, was taken.
Officers said they have few leads as his family continues to ask the community for help.
"Every time my eyes would close, I would see my son, that smile on his face," said Bruce Haggins.
Police said the teen is 6 feet, 2 inches and was wearing a gray shirt when he was taken by a man with dreadlocks driving a dark gray Infiniti G-37.
The incident occurred on Lincoln Terrace after reports of shots fired in a vehicle, officers said.
"We would talk about different things, and he would tell me about how he was going to do some changes in his life and he wanted to go back to playing football," Haggins said.
Haggins said more than anything, he just wants to have those talks again.
"Anybody out there that's listening to my voice and see my face, please," Haggins said. "If you know where my son is, please say something, tell somebody before it's too late."

An Amber Alert is still in effect for a teenager missing from Orange County since Friday morning.

Officials said the teen was abducted by a light-skinned black male with dreadlocks who was driving a dark gray Infiniti G37.
Friends and family held a candlelight vigil for Hagans Saturday night.

Family of Orange County teen at center of Amber Alert 'praying for closure'
The family of a missing Orange County teen is hoping for tips in the case to locate their loved one.
Witnesses reported seeing him being shot and driven away in a silver Infiniti sedan on Lincoln Terrace.
Deborah Fryer, Hagans' aunt tells News 6 that she's praying for an update in the case.
"We just wish someone would tell us, so we could have closure," Fryer said.
Fryer said that Hagans was always full of energy, and even taught himself to play drums in the church band.
"He was a big and tall, but he was just like a child. He had a big heart of a 5-year-old. He was a goofy child," Fryer said. "It's been a sad time for us ever since."
Fryer said that her nephew never left the house without telling his family how much they meant to him.
"He would say,' 'I love you all, I'll see you all later.' He always did it, every day. We just wish we could hear that now," Fryer said.
Fryer also said Hagans was close with his young cousins.
"They ask everyday, 'Are we going to find BJ?' And it's sad because we have no answer," Fryer said.
Family members said that they know someone out there has the answers they need.
Winter Garden police said Monday that there were no new updates in the case.

Teen at center of Amber Alert found dead in shallow grave, police say
1 person in custody, more arrests likely
An Amber Alert was issued on May 31 for 16-year-old Bruce Hagans Jr. after witnesses told Winter Garden police that he had been abducted by a light-skinned black male with dreadlocks who was driving a dark gray Infiniti G37. The vehicle was later found in Sanford.
Chief of Police Steve Graham said Friday that Luis Rivera Sr. was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence.
Luis Rivera Sr.
The case is rapidly evolving and the chief said he is confident more charges will be filed against Rivera and more arrests will be coming.
Investigators have not positively identified the person seen driving away with Hagans the day the Amber Alert was issued.
"What happened to him, he didn't deserve," Hagans father, Bruce Hagans Sr., told News 6.
The teen's father had a message for the people who he said claimed to be his son's friends but ultimately didn't help with the investigation.
"That was totally wrong, the way you treated Bruce," he said. "They're going down."

Winter Garden police have confirmed that a body found in East Orange County is a missing teenager.
Bruce Hagans disappeared this past Friday. He was seen in the Lincoln Terrace neighborhood last Friday getting into a sedan and then witnesses reported seeing a struggle, followed by gunshots.
The two scenes, in which his body was found and where the abduction allegedly occurred, are about 40 miles apart, officials said.
Winter Garden police started investigating after the body was found in Wedgefield.
Winter Garden Police Department officers said a tip led them to Robertson Street.
Over the past week, officers from Winter Garden had been looking for the 16-year-old.
Winter Garden officers confirmed an arrest had been made in Hagans' disappearance. It was made just as the search was underway in Wedgefield

This article aims to raise awareness among paediatricians and specialist paediatric services that poor oral health, in particular children with chronic illness, is a major cause of morbidity and can be a risk factor for severe, even life threatening complications.
Good oral health and dentition is important for efficient mastication, speaking and of course, cosmetically for smiling. If left untreated, dental caries can lead to pain and infection.
Chronic infection around one or more teeth can result in damage to localised structures, such as the developing permanent teeth.
Children who are medically compromised (such as being immunocompromised from disease and/or therapy) however are at increased risk of developing systemic complications from dental infections, which may prove fatal.
We focus on the role of the general paediatrician in promoting the importance of good dental health for all children and in particular those children "at risk".
We present preventive measures, evidence based where available, that may improve dental care and promote the role of paediatric dental services in the multidisciplinary management of chronic disease.
For this article we have used the term "poor oral health" to encompass caries (tooth decay), and periodontal disease (gingivitis and periodontitis). | {

Abortion in New York City
August 28, 2006 | by Pat Arnow
If in 1969, you were a 21-year-old college student in Illinois, and you wanted an abortion, it was an expensive operation -- and an illegal one. Four states had passed laws allowing for some exceptions to the ban, but even in those states, abortions were not readily available. It was not unusual for a young woman to spend her life savings -- and perhaps those of her friends -- to end an unwanted pregnancy.
A year later, New York State passed the nation's first law legalizing abortion without restriction up to the 24th week of pregnancy. It was pioneering legislation, but only a few states would follow. A young woman in Illinois would still need to raise a large amount of money either to travel to New York or to find an illegal abortion.
When the United States Supreme Court overturned state restrictions on abortions with Roe v. Wade in 1973, abortion became legal everywhere for everyone. Over the years, more and more states have passed more and more restrictions, and fewer and fewer clinics operate in the heartland, making abortion difficult to obtain in most places. But New York laws are still among the most liberal.
This fall, with two newly appointed conservative justices in place, the Supreme Court is poised to reconsider Roe v. Wade. Illinois is among the 17 states that will reinstate an abortion ban if Roe is overturned. The U.S. Senate and House recently passed different versions of a bill called the Child Custody Protection Act, which, if reconciled between the two legislative branches, would criminalize the transport of minors across state lines for an abortion by anyone except a parent.
The issue of abortion remains so contentious that when the Food and Drug Administration announced last week its approval of the over-the-counter sale of Plan B - a morning-after contraceptive bill - for women 18 and older, both abortion opponents and supporters took issue. The president of Pharmacists for Life International, Karen Brauer, objected to the availability of the drug. She told WDC Media (a Christian news agency) that Plan B "operates significantly to stop the life of an early human." The National Organization for Women applauded the approval by the FDA but said the pills should be available for minors as well.
Whatever happens nationwide, New York's pioneering laws are likely to remain in effect, no matter how little company they have. Meanwhile, in Illinois and much of the rest of the country, young women will still have to raise the money to go elsewhere to end pregnancies. Often that elsewhere may well be New York.
Views Of The Public, And Public Officials
New York City is likely to remain one of the easiest places in the country to have an abortion. Much of this may be a reflection of the prevailing attitudes here, as demonstrated in the positions of public officials (and candidates).
Laws concerning abortion are state-wide. The state-wide candidates for office who are widely given the best chance for winning in this year's election make a point of displaying their pro-choice credentials. On Democratic gubernatorial candidate Eliot Spitzer's Web site, he lists his endorsement by NARAL, the pro-choice group and reprints his speech to them.
Besides supporting New York's liberal abortion laws, he promises that if Roe v. Wade is overturned by the Supreme Court, he will review state laws and strengthen any that the court decision will throw into jeopardy. He also supports easy access to emergency contraception and the right to late-term abortion.
Despite Hillary Clinton's statements in a January speech about teen celibacy, prayer, and the "tragic choice" that abortion represents, her campaign Web site proclaims a solidly pro-choice position, though she does repeat that abortion should be "safe, legal and rare."
It is more difficult to find the views towards abortion of the Republican candidates for these offices; abortion is not mentioned on their Web sites, no matter what their position. But in a debate on August 9th between the two Republican candidates for U.S. Senate, John Spencer said he would restrict abortion except to save the life of the mother, while his opponent, Kathleen Troia McFarland , a former Reagan official, said she supports abortion rights.
The Republican candidate for governor, John Faso, has worked to restrict abortion when he served in the state assembly. His positions are outlined not on his own Web site but by a Westchester County pro-choice group.
It is worth noting that Faso is reportedly the first anti-abortion candidate for governor in either party in more than 25 years.
No matter who becomes governor, though, measures to restrict abortion in the state are unlikely. The State Assembly remains solidly pro-choice. "The Assembly has been at the forefront of protecting and ensuring women's rights in New York State," says Eileen Larrabee, spokeswoman for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. "Obviously it's something we need to continue to push to ensure those rights are not chipped away." The Assembly Speaker's staunch pro-choice stand frustrates Lori Hougens of the New York State Right to Life Committee. "New Yorkers support a ban on partial birth abortions and are in favor of parental involvement legislation, which would make sure parents know that their underage daughters are having an abortion," she wrote in Gotham Gazette. "But in the Assembly, Speaker Silver will not allow a vote on the floor for legislation banning partial birth abortions or requiring parental notification."
The State Senate is more conservative, but the abortion issue doesn't come up there, says Mary Alice Carr of NARAL Pro-Choice New York. Without Assembly support, a bill would not reach the governor's desk, so passing restrictions would be pointless. "A lot of legislators," says Carr, "don't want to deal with the issue."
One Out Of Every Ten Abortions
Despite restrictions and a dearth of clinics in most states, abortion remains a common experience across the country. One out of three American women has had an abortion by age 45, reports the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks abortion laws and statistics. The majority of women who get abortion already have children (61 percent) and are poor (57 percent). Women of color make up most of those who get abortions: While 41 percent are white, 32 percent are black, 20 percent are Hispanic and 7 percent are other minority races.
But New York Magazine has called New York City "The Abortion Capital of America." Women come here for the procedure. "New York City has the least amount of practical barriers," explains Carr of NARAL Pro-Choice New York. One out of every 10 abortions in the nation is performed in New York State - 120,000 abortions performed in New York State in 2003, according to the New York State Department of Health. Seventy percent of those are performed in the city, where there are 34 major clinics.
Unlike other parts of the country, if you go through a residency in obstetrics/gynecology in New York City, you'll learn how to perform abortions. That's because Mayor Michael Bloomberg, shortly after taking office in 2002, ordered city hospitals to include such training. There's a similar requirement in the California university system, but nowhere else.
It might seem obvious that someone going into obstetrics and gynecology would learn how to perform an abortion, if only for emergencies (such as completing a miscarriage). In fact, the accrediting agency for graduate medical education has required such training since 1995, says Lois Backus, director of Medical Students for Choice, a national organization promoting reproductive and abortion education for physicians in training. Despite those regulations, only 12 percent of the OB/GYN residency programs train first first-trimester abortions. Only 7 percent train for second-trimester abortions.
Backus says that her organization is particularly interested in making sure medical students, not just specialists, receive education on family planning and abortion. "No more than two-thirds [of medical schools] provide any required medical education on abortion," she says. And those schools often focus "only on the ethical issues" not on clinical practice.
Most hospitals across the country do not provide abortion services, so medical students would have no opportunity to learn about the procedure firsthand. That effectively blocks training for medical students.
For medical students "New York City is actually fairly good and largely due to Mayor Bloomberg," says Backus. Unlike most other places, "there is hospital-based abortion and family planning, that students gain access to as they go through medical training. In most of the rest of the country, that clinical care is not provided in hospitals where students receive most of their training."
Another barrier for medical students involves an "opt-out" clause for hospitals. In 43 states, hospitals may refuse to participate in abortion services. In New York State, they cannot. "For example, with a religious hospital, if a woman comes in and is miscarrying and needs an induced abortion to complete the miscarriage, the hospital can't refuse to provide those services in New York," says Rebecca Wind of the Guttmacher Institute. "In most other states, they can." In those states, the woman would be transported to a facility that would do it.
That is not a rare scenario, says fourth-year Mount Sinai medical student Erika Levi. She's the regional coordinator of Medical Students for Choice. "I've seen many women coming in with a miscarriage who need a D and C [dilation and curettage-a surgical abortion]," she says. "It happens often enough to be an issue."
She thinks that she and most medical students in New York City receive a good education in reproductive issues including abortion. Because most of the hospitals do offer abortions services of some kind, students also learn about the procedure-and the women who undergo it-firsthand. In other parts of the country Levi says it is different. If the procedure is mentioned at all, it is in a pejorative manner.
Vocal and sometimes violent protesters in many parts of the country make abortion more difficult for young women and sometimes dangerous for providers. From time to time, New York City has had its share of demonstrators, especially at the Margaret Sanger Center in Manhattan. That clinic sees some 11,000 abortions a year.
Carr of NARAL credits the tough enforcement by state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and by Manhattan D.A. Robert Morgenthau. Strict enforcement of laws protecting clinics and their personnel has helped maintain safety. The possibility of violence is not just paranoia. Abortion clinics have been subject to bombings and staff have been shot. The Attorney General's Reproductive Rights Unit aims to keep clinic violence and intimidation at bay. "Peoples' safety is at risk," says Carr. "Laws are only as good as the people that enforce them."
Crossing State Lines
At present, most of the states near New York City also have liberal abortion laws, and facilities are available. However, nearby Pennsylvania and Rhode Island require parental consent for minors. Thirty-four states have parental consent laws, and 24 mandate a waiting period between initial consultation and the procedure. Second-trimester abortions are also more available and less expensive in New York City than elsewhere.
For some minors, the barriers to abortion may soon be insurmountable. If federal legislation called the Child Custody Protection Act becomes law, girls who don't want to consult their parents who come from Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and other parental consent states will not be able to do so accompanied or aided by an adult (unless the adult wants to chance prosecution).
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, 17 states plan to put into place highly restrictive measures that will affect all women, not just minors. Of those, only Delaware is near New York, so the impact might not be the same as it was when New York stood alone with abortion on demand as it did in 1970. Before Roe v. Wade, women from out of state accounted for 61 percent of abortions, according to New York Magazine.
"We would anticipate a situation that we saw pre-Roe v. Wade," says Carr of NARAL: "a haven for women across the country. New York would be taking on the burden of a lot of other states that outlaw abortion."
But that already happens to some extent. Abortion is now legal across the country "in theory, not in practice," says Carr. Some 87 percent of counties across the nation have no abortion provider, according to the Guttmacher Institute. It's particularly hard for low-income women and those who do not speak English. "Roe does not exist in practice for a lot of women in this country," says Carr.
The restrictions elsewhere already bring young women to New York for abortions. The Sanger clinic has reportedly seen an uptick of 21 percent more out-of-state women seeking abortions.
Paying for Abortion
For low-income women in New York, state Medicaid covers abortion services, because the Hyde Amendment, passed in 1976, restricts Federal Medicaid funding for abortion except in the cases of life endangerment, rape or incest.
Minors in New York can be covered by Medicaid. Some clinics offer sliding scales, so teens who can't afford the full fee (about $350 in the first trimester), can still obtain an abortion.
Whether the easy access to abortion in New York is a good thing is a matter of individual opinion. For the time being,, the procedure will remain easily accessible and affordable to the women in the city.

Judaism teaches us that time itself is sacred, and that each moment is to be cherished as precious and unique. Yet certain days mark our lives forever. The community of Kehilat Gesher supports its members as they pass through life's transitions, be they filled with joy or rife with sorrow.
The arrival of a new baby in one's home is an occasion to celebrate the miracle of creation. However, new parents are not always prepared for the responsibility of raising a child. They can make an appointment with the rabbi to discuss their questions and concerns.
The covenant of circumcision marks a baby boy's entrance into the alliance with Israel. Unless a medical condition prohibits it, a boy is circumcised on the eighth day after his birth. A mohel, a trained specialist, performs the circumcision with sterilized instruments. It is a benign operation that lasts a few seconds. The mohel also says prayers and may be accompanied by the rabbi. The ceremony may take place at home or at the synagogue, preferably in the presence of a minyan. The Brit Milah can take place even if one of the parents is not Jewish, as long as they both agree to raise their son as a Jew.
This ceremony marks a baby girl's entrance into the alliance with Israel. Like a boy's Brit Milah, the ceremony is arranged on the eighth day after the birth. The prayers are the same, but instead of circumcision, the baby's feet are dipped in water in remembrance of when Sarah and Abraham welcomed strangers in the Book of Genesis. This type of ceremony existed a century ago in Alsace, where the rabbi would recite a benediction over the cradle of a baby girl. In North Africa, this type of ceremony was called a simchat bat ("the joy of a girl") or zeved bat ("the gift of a girl"). The integration of this ceremony is important because it shows that the birth of a girl is as important as the birth of a boy in the Jewish tradition.
More than the actual ceremony, it is the preparation and learning that precedes the Bat or Bar Mitzvah that gives this rite of passage its meaning. Attending Talmud Torah (religious school) is essential to learning the fundamentals of Judaism, including its history, philosophy, principals, rites and significance. By learning how to read and write Hebrew, the boy or girl can lead the services on the day of the ceremony, which is spread over two or three days (Thursday morning for the laying of the tefilin, Friday evening for the Kabbalat Shabbat service and Saturday morning for Shabbat). If the young person starts his or her studies after the age of 11 years old, the date of the ceremony will be delayed until he or she is ready. A Bar or Bat Mitzvah can take place from 13 years old and onward, including adults who did not have the opportunity to have one earlier.
It is a mitzvah to marry and live with one's spouse in a relationship where each becomes the complement and partner of the other. Along with the synagogue, the Jewish home is a site of transmission of Jewish values. We celebrate chuppa and kiddushin (the Jewish marriage ceremony with a signed ketubah) when the couple has been married under civil law, when both partners are Jewish and when the union does not run counter to the progressive halacha. When a couple that has had a civil marriage cannot have a religious marriage (if one of the couple is not Jewish or one of the couple has had a civil divorce but has not received a get, for example), we acknowledge that according to civil law the couple constitutes a household, but do not consider it a valid union according to Jewish law.
In the case of a definitive break between spouses, a religious divorce is possible. When the couple is divorced under civil law, a get (a religious divorce document) may be issued. The get process cannot begin until the civil divorce is declared. When the get is requested, the Beit-Din of the French Fédération du Judaïsme Libéral recommends the nomination of representatives who will act in the name of the parties concerned and receive the get in their name. Once this procedure is undertaken, a certificate is issued and the actual get stays in the archives of the Beit-Din. If one of the couple refuses to deliver the get the Beit-Din sends three letters. If there is no response, or a refusal is based on the desire to take advantage financially or otherwise, the Beit-Din acts in the absence of the person concerned and issues the appropriate certificates. We recognize any get issued by a qualified authority.
Contrary to common preconceptions, Judaism has always been open to conversion, and there are numerous biblical and rabbinic texts that refer to welcoming converts. All sincere requests are considered. The candidate must take into account the fact that he or she will be asked to integrate Jewish practices into their daily lives, will become a part of our congregation, and must expand their knowledge of Judaism so they can lead a Jewish life. The minimum study period is 12 to 14 months. A meeting with the rabbi is required before starting the conversion process. The candidate will then start a Mekhina, or preparation course, for two months during which he or she will learn to read and write Hebrew. For twelve months, the candidate will follow Judaism classes, which detail the major elements of Jewish history and life, explain the holidays and practices in terms of their evolution through history, and explore Jewish literature, symbols and ethics. At the end of the process, the candidate is presented to a Beit-Din of the French Fédération du Judaïsme Libéral, made up of three rabbis who verify his or her knowledge, assimilation into the Jewish people and desire to live a rich and full Jewish life. Once the candidate affirms that he or she is ready to conform to the ways of our Tradition – kabbalat ol mitzvot (acceptance of the yoke of the commandments) – the Beit Din welcomes the candidate as part of the people of Israel. For a man, circumcision follows, and for all candidates, under the care of the Beit-Din, a tevilah is undertaken in a mikve. Our Beit-Din's conversion certificate is accepted by the French Jewish Agency, the Israeli government and progressive congregations around the world. We recognized all conversion certificates issued by a qualified authority. Conversion for marriage is welcome and possible as long as the candidate develops his or her own interest in Judaism. The Jewish partner's participation is required to support the candidate's process and to help establish a Jewish home for the couple.
Judaism gives much importance to the respect and dignity of a person that passes away. The rituals and ceremonies around death and burial are designed both to honour the dead and to help mourners deal with their grief and face the prospect of life without their loved one. At Kehilat Gesher, we will give you support as you go through the mourning process: the funeral (levaya), shiva (seven days of mourning), sheloshim (30th day memorial service), tomb stone setting and the yearly anniversary of death (yahrtzeit/Shana). If you have suffered the loss of a dear one, please contact the office. | {

The Flip Flap has a large cult complying with in Japan, but the appeal of the decorative device is growing in the UK being marketed under the Tomy brand. Flip Flaps be available in various designs like the "Q" (which is round) and "F" (which has the shape of a blossom pot). The big Flip Flaps (relies on the number) typically have 3 movements. Once you turn it on, the fallen leaves begin to move up as well as down. If you touch one of the fallen leaves, it shall start to relocate seesaw to the direction in which the leaf was touched. | {

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) produces symptoms that cause great irritation to the patient. Pharmacotherapeutic management is directed at minimising these symptoms and reducing the causative factors, e.g. acid production, thereby providing relief. Currently available agents include simple antacids and acid suppression therapy, including histamine 2-receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors, mucosal or cytoprotective agents and pro-motility agents. Deciding on appropriate therapy will depend on the diagnosis, side-effects and cost-effectiveness of the treatment.
GORD; gastro-oesophageal reflux; PPIs; proton-pump inhibitors

The Lagotto Romagnolo is a working dog originating in the Romagna sub-region of Italy. Lagotto Romagnolo means "lake dog from Romagna", and it's quite appropriate. This hypoallergenic dog breed was traditionally used as a water retriever. Today, it's often used to hunt truffles.

The Lagotto Romagnolo is a high energy, medium sized breed. As a working dog, it needed that energy to help it stay in the field for long periods as it helped its owners hunt. Today, that energy means you need lots of walks to keep your pooch happy. This breed makes an excellent dog for an active family, or for a family willing to take it for 3 to 4 walks a day.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is a highly affectionate, loyal, and intelligent breed, making them an ideal family companion. They are easy to train, and they love to love and be loved. This hypoallergenic dog breed gets along well with people and animals outside of the family if it is properly socialized as a puppy. Because at it's core, it's a hunting dog, part of socializing the breed is introducing it to bunnies and other rodent pets, so it doesn't view them as prey.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is a working dog and highly intelligent. That combination means that it needs adequate mental and physical exercise to keep it happy and healthy. A fenced in yard is great for this breed, but be aware that the breed loves to dig. So protect any flower beds if you want to keep them. If a fenced in yard isn't possible, a good walk 3 to 4 times a day will be necessary to keep your dog properly exercised.
The Lagotto Romagnolo is an extremely healthy breed. They live upwards of 16 years, quite a long time as far as most dog breeds go, and they rarely have health issues. Hip dysplasia, Benign Juvenile Epilepsy, and Cerebral Anomaly are associated with the breed, but they are generally the result of poor breeding.
The Lagotto Romagnolo may have its roots as a water retriever, but you don't have to take it hunting to have a happy dog that fits in well with the family. This intelligent, energetic, friendly breed is just as happy to go for a walk as it is track a downed bird. All the Lagotto Romagnolo really needs is a family that loves it as much as it loves them.
As always, make adoption your first option. While you may not find a Lagotto Romagnolo in your local shelter, there are a number of breed specific rescue website. You might find one for the Lagotto.

Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! The book I'm sharing with you today is hot off the press, released just three days ago! Tamera Alexander's With This Pledge is the first book in her new Carnton series, and is based on a real-life love story set amidst the aftermath of the Battle of Franklin.
It's a great read so far!

I'm currently reading this one and am absolutely loving it. Makes me a little sad I have a day job because I want to just sit and finish it!
Today on my blog I'm sharing the first few lines of Who I Am with You by Robin Lee Hatcher. It's such a good book. I'm just beginning chapter 25, so I will share the first line from there.
My first lines come from Restaurant Weeks are Murder by Libby Klein…….
"I don't care how good Dr. Oz says it is, I'm not eating vegan cheese." Aunt Ginny took the last stuffed pheasant off the Fraser fir, wrapped it in tissue paper, and placed it in an old Woolworth's hat box to store until next Christmas.
I cannot wait to read this book! The first book in this series was wonderful. Happy reading Katie!
I shared the first couple of lines from one of my recent reads, The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi, on my blog. I loved this book so much and to celebrate its coming release (January 15) I will be sharing the first couple of lines from its prologue chapter here.
The matriarch of House Kore was running late for a dinner. In the normal course of things, she did not care for punctuality. Punctuality, with its unseemly whiff of eagerness was for peasants. And she was neither a peasant nor eager to endure a meal with the mongrel heir of House Nyx.
Hope you enjoy that. Happy weekend!
I've already finished reading it and LOVED it! Hope you enjoy the rest of it!
Today on my blog I'm featuring Romancing the Bride by Melissa Jagears but I'm currently reading The Watch on the Fencepost by Kay DiBianca so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (38) here: "Kate parked her car in the corner lot and strolled down the sidewalk toward Café Rouge." Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend with plenty of reading time!
Luke extricated himself from the vehicle to find shattered convoy debris littering the ground.
Looking forward to reading Tamera's new book. | {

Urban Shield a New Keys Star!
Just a few weeks ago we introduced our new line called Alternative Naturals™. Among the inductees was a new product called Urban Shield. Urban Shield has been in development for over five years and is a very close kin to Keys Super Star RediCare. In fact, think of Urban Shield as a gel version of RediCare and you will be more right than you know.
As history goes, RediCare was first developed for the search and rescue teams that were returning from Hurricane Katrina. Both dogs and people were covered with sores and skin disorders from the chemicals in the high waters around New Orleans. It was designed as a sprayable lotion to cover large areas quickly to provide relief without rubbing. It also worked on both long and short hair dogs to get to the skin quickly. Both dogs and handlers quickly realized how fast and effective it was. Bonus! Because of the Neem and Karanja oil as well as other essential oils, it was also an incredibly effective insect repellant. RediCare started its life as a sprayable therapy and quickly became known as a single universal go to product for people and dogs for all of its wonderful properties.
Not long after RediCare was introduced, the diabetic community discovered how quickly it would help with skin issues. Customers reported to us that the itching, pain and disruptions began to disappear.
Not far after the diabetics discovered RediCare, so did those going through radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
Then, moms discovered that RediCare killed head lice. We are still not sure how it does it, but reports continue that it works for lice and bed bugs.
Repelling more than 200 flying and drawling insect was a bonus for us and our customers with strong reports of high efficacy against fleas, ticks and mosquitoes as well as all sorts of a creepy crawlers.
Well, no surprise that Urban Shield contains most of the key ingredients that are contained in RediCare. Those being, Neem, Karanja, Avocado Oil, Black Seed Oil and Carrot Seed Oil. Envision a jelly with all the goodness of RediCare and you now know and understand Urban Shield. Urban Shield has the same properties of RediCare in a gel form that has even more intensity.
If you love RediCare, you will really love Urban Shield.
Herein are some of the benefits of the key ingredients in Urban Shield. | {

The Theatre group went to Deutsche Theater on 3 April 2017 to see Tennessee William´s 1944 play: The Glass Menagerie.

Tracing the Maharashtra Irrigation Scam: From 2012 to 2016
Dams · Maharashtra

Aftermath of the irrigation scam exposed in 2012 in Maharashtra still continues. Roots of the scam were pointed out time and again by Comptroller & Auditor General of India (CAG) and also by several other committees set up by the Government. The scam was finally unveiled in May 2012 with a combined effort of several whistle blowers from inside & outside the government as civil society groups including SANDRP. Unjustified cost overruns, forged tenders, tweaking the norms of tendering process, incomplete projects laden with inferior quality work were brought to light and the unholy nexus of corrupt leaders, government officials and contractors became visible like never before.

Vijay Pandhare's letter to Dr. Chitale: "Please fix responsibility of the irregularities"
March 3, 2014 March 3, 2014 SANDRP3 Comments
It has been reported that the Special Investigation Team under the Chairpersonship of Dr. Madhavrao Chitale has submitted its 1300+ pages report on the Dam Scam and practically no increase in irrigated area in Maharashtra, to the Chief Minister.
Dr. Chitale has reportedly said that no political person has been named in the report, supposedly because it was not the mandate of his committee. In his words: "There was no question of mentioning the name of any minister or bureaucrat for the wrongdoings in irrigation sector as it was not permissible under the given guidelines. At the very beginning, it was made clear that findings will be very impersonal. The objective of the committee was never to engage in fault finding of any individual (politicians or bureaucrats) but rather larger concerns related to the systemic lapses that resulted in the cost overruns and allowed manipulation of rules,"
This, though expected from Dr. Chitale, is entirely incorrect as the TORs to the SIT by the GOM, dated 31st Dec 2012 clearly mention 2.9: "If irregularity is found in investigations, the committee will fix responsibility and suggest further action." in addition, the systemic lapses that have occured in Maharshtra have been sytematically abetted by many for personal gains. Not even attempting to fix the responsibility,is akin to giving a clean chit to the strong perpetrators.
The SIT report is not in the open domain as yet, but if it has indeed shied away from specifically naming guilty politicians, bureaucrats and engineers, then it is hugely problematic. The links between politicians, bureaucrats and engineers have been made clear by a number of whistle blowers of the irrigation scam at grave personal risks. The SIT had all the resources, the mandate, the time and the opportunity to investigate charges and radically influence Maharashtra's irrigation sector. But right from the beginning, the SIT refused to look into matters of corruption, clearly indicating that it will not 'dirty its hands' and will go with the status quo, which suited the ruling government. Supporting Status Quo at such important juncture comes at a huge social cost. SIT's composition as well as its stand was challenged by many, including SANDRP. (SANDRPs Press Release, Piece by Pradeep Purandare, New Reports, Pani Dhoran Manch PR)
One of the most significant whistle blowers of the Dam Scam, Vijay Pandhare, who was then the Chief Engineer of Irrigation Dept had written a scathing letter to Dr. Chitale in March 2013, when Chitale refused to investigate any evidence given by leader of opposition Vinod Tawde about corruption in the Irrigation sector.
This letter ( obtained and translated from Marathi into English by SANDRP) indicates Pandhare's impassioned appeal to Dr. Chitale to investigate charges and fix responsibility as per the mandate of the committee. Pandhare in fact says that: "If the SIT is going to be escapist about the issue of corruption, then it is better that you resign, listening to your inner voice, because such escapism would not be in the interest of the state." He produces many evidences of wrong doings in the WRD. The scale of the problem described in the letter is staggering. We look forward to how these matters have been treated by the SIT Report.

VIJAY PANDHARE WRITES TO DR. MADHAV CHITALE, MARCH 2013
Vijay Balawant Pandhare
Chief Engineer,
Maharashtra Engineering Research Institute, Nashik, and
Member, State Technical Advisory Committee,
Nashik- 422004
Dt- 16th March 2013
Shri. Madhavrav Chitale,
Chairman,
Special Investigation Team,
WALMI, Aurangabad
Subject- About inquiry into technical and financial discrepancies in Water Resources Department of Maharashtra
Regarding the subject sited above, it is learned through news reports of 6th March 2013 and through the broadcasts of Marathi news channels that, you have wrote to the Leader of Opposition Mr. Vinod Tawade stating your committee is not empowered to inquire officers and political representatives.[1]
In fact, while determining the mandate of your committee TORs explicitly mention "fixing the responsibility against any discrepancy and suggesting suitable action against it".[2] The government has clearly mentioned in your mandate that "fix the responsibility against the discrepancy". So, your stand that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) doesn't have any investigating power is against this mandate. It is like Lord Ram deciding that he will not attack the evil spirit or will not oppose it. If you are not going to unmask these corrupt spirits through the special investigation team, would we have the moral right to seek respite from Lord Ram? Moderate and honest people like you are required to lead the bandwagon against such corrupt people and dishonest mentality. Such an opportunity is created because of the constitution of SIT. We believe that you would capitalize on it. ( Emphasis added, throughout the letter) The anarchy created in Water Resources Department is because of the non-functional office-bearers. If the officers would have been alert and selfless, such a catastrophic situation would have never come, however, it has been difficult in our times to see good officers rising through the ranks. It seems that picture would be very gloomy from here on. Therefore, it is your first responsibility to identify people who are responsible for such a situation, those who have created discrepancies and fix the responsibilities. After outlining the mandate, the state government has thrown a ball in your (SIT) court. Therefore, it will not be acceptable to adopt a stand which turns a blind eye towards all of these malpractices. The government has nowhere said that the committee has not investigative powers. The very name of the committee itself is a "Special". Isn't it contradictory to take up such a stand when the committee itself is called "Special Investigation Team" then? On the other hand, the committee should ask for complaints from all the people and investigate them all. But your stand seems to be something else altogether. Please don't continue with that. (Emphasis added). There is no prohibition on any committee for accepting complaints from the people and collecting sufficient information pertaining to the investigation. If the committees like Vadnere, Kolwale, Mendhegiri etc. can determine the responsibilities on the defaulters, why can't the SIT under Mr. Chitale?[3]
Earlier officers never took a firm stand against such malpractices which eventually culminated to degradation of Irrigation department. The responsibility of improving the situation has been entrusted with your team, otherwise, history will never forgive us. If the committee is going to be escapist about the issue of corruption, then it is better that you resign , listening to your inner voice, because such escapism would not be in the interest of the state. I can understand (although don't justify) the attitude of political representatives about the scam, but honorable people like you need to take a strong stand to make the department disciplined. Im sure that escaping from this duty and saying that Pseical investigation team does not have the power to investigate is not something that your conscience would agree with. Despite that, your statement regarding Tawade's letteris a clear indication that the team would shy away from such investigation. To improve the situation in Irrigation department, some surgical measures should be taken otherwise the financial crisis of the state would persist in the foreseeable future. I want to remind you that around 14-15 years back we personally met in Aurangabad and I had told you how pathetic and corrupt the administration has become. That time too, you had said that the political representatives have taken charge of everything and you were resigned in saying that it's difficult to change the situation. But now the destiny has entrusted you with the responsibility to end these malpractices. We request you to please carry it out with the help of Mr. Ranade. It would be very unfortunate for Maharashtra if you are not going to fix the responsibilities against the observed malpractices, something which is clearly in the mandate of your team. If the projects are not getting completed even after 25-30 years, isn't it a serious blunder by the policy makers? Shouldn't we fix the responsibility ? Is it not sinful to float tenders, make payments against inflated costs, financially weaken the state and push people into drought situations? If you're not going to prevent such practices, then who will? I was extremely surprised to learn about your stand. If you really want to serve for the betterment of Maharashtra, then taking a strong stand against such practices so that nobody would dare to tread this path is very much expected from you. If we all decide, then we will have "Ram-rajya" in our country. But if we are moving away from Lord Ram's ideals, we have no turn to him for the help. (Emphasis added)
I'm enlisting the discrepancies that I observed while working in Water Resources Department. Kindly investigate them and fix the responsibilities against the defaulters so that nobody would ever dare to indulge in such practices.
Discrepancy No. 1-
Without investigating or envisaging properly, irrigation development corporations have approved budgets with inflated costs and have granted tenders at higher price to the contractors. This has resulted in wastage of billions of rupees of public funds. We request you to thoroughly investigate all the discrepancies and fix the responsibilities. So that, no political representative or contractor or engineer would ever indulge into it. If no inquiry is conducted, these people would keep looting the state as well as nation with boosted confidence. That's why the honest and selfless people should try to prevent such malpractices otherwise it is beyond doubt that our coming generations, our nation and the democracy will have a dark future.
For example, please note the projects in Tapi Irrigation Development Corporation-
A. Sulwade Lift Irrigation Scheme (Cost ₹ 2100 Cr)
B. Bodwad Lift Irrigation Scheme ( Cost ₹ 2200 Cr)
C. Prakasha-Burai Lift Irrigation Scheme (Cost ₹ 700 Cr)
D. Varangaon-talwel Lift Irrigation Scheme
E. Padmalay Lift Irrigation Scheme
F. Kurha-vadoda Lift Irrigation Scheme
Like these, thousands of tenders have been awarded. It is requested to permanently stop such cases.
Discrepancy No. 2
The projects that have been approved by respective development corporations have always witnessed increase in their scopes. You can find many such projects. White paper enlists such modifications under each scheme. Such modifications/ increments have been approved without giving proper thought to their impacts and hence these projects are bound to fail. Because, the projects which have been approved at inflated costs get less funds allocations and eventually results in the projects remaining incomplete for more than three decades and there is no way these projects would be complete in next 30 years either. Therefore, the officers and politicians who approved such changes should be held responsible for these discrepancies.
Discrepancy No.3-
The way in which each development corporation has cited their cost break-up would stun anyone. It is clear that the interests and the benefits of the contractors have been secured by employing multiple tricks. It has been a very common trend in Konkan and Vidarbh Irrigation Development Corporations. Other corporations are not an exception either. The episode of the inflated costs paid against the steel pipes in Jigaon Project Lift Irrigation Scheme is indeed well-known. Vidarbh Irrigation Development Corporation itself has cancelled ₹ 2900 Cr tenders because those were based on such inflated costs. We request the SIT to investigate such discrepancies in the budget of the said projects. To prevent such incidences from happening again, such incidences should be thoroughly investigated and defaulters must be brought to the book. Please investigate the cost sheets of following items-
1. Hearting and casing items
2. Pitching items
3. Rising main and steel pipe items in lift irrigation schemes
4. Radial gate fabrication rates
5. Dewatering items, excessive dewatering
6. Concrete and masonry items
The SIT should also probe the various reasons cited for increasing the costs.
Discrepancy No-4
There have been humongous discrepancies in the "C" grade tenders. In most of the cases, despite being "C" level tender, "EIRL"s of hundreds of thousands of rupees have been passed and even the claims have been settled too. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate all the EIRLs and claims against them from all the development corporations. The SIT should ask for information in a tabular form about all the EIRLs and respective settled claims from all the irrigation development corporations, and probe the serious cases. Otherwise there would be no check on such malpractices. For example, I'm referring to the Nardawe project EIRL here. Despite being a "C" tender, KIDC (Kokan irrigation Development Corporation) has granted EIRLs worth ₹ 30-40 Cr. Moreover, it has also settled the claims for machinery idle charges without taking due permission from the state government. Due to less availability of funds, the contractors have made it a trend to show that their machinery have been idle on paper and have been receiving the idling charges. Big projects have been approved with administrative approvals and now idling charges are being paid citing the unavailability/ insufficiency of funds. Projects are incomplete for years because of unavailability of funds and according to price escalation clause of the tenders, hundreds of thousands of crores are being paid to the contractors. The situation is so grim that the actual expense incurred on work is marginal and that on price the escalation is multifold. For example, let's see the Sulwade Lift Irrigation Scheme of Tapi Irrigation Development Corporation. Work order was granted 14 years ago. Because of unavailability of funds, ₹ 15 Cr have been spent on the actual work. However, during the same period, the price escalation has been of ₹ 700 Cr! There are many such projects which have not begun in last 14 years. The responsibilities of such agonizing planning must be fixed on responsible people.
The earthen dams which are being constructed under B-1 tender, exhibit "excessive" cross-sections while the works under "C" tender have "under-sized" cross sections. Engineers from Central Design Organisation: MERI must have had a hand in this. This is commonly known but nobody talks about it. The best example of how these engineers from the mentioned organizations have given wrong design is of Radial gates. The variations made for the same sized radial gates are worth visiting. The radial gates size of Gosi-khurd, Shelgaon barrage, and Lower Tapti projects are same. In fact, their weights should have been more or less identical. But, their weightages have been absolutely irrational. Weightage of Lower Tapti is 208 MT/Gate but that of Gosikhurd has 159 MT/ gate weightage. This one example is sufficient. The weight of steel has been increased by around 1000 folds. To stop such things, SIT should give special emphasis on such practices and prevent their repetition. Against this backdrop, Konkan, Krishna valley, Tapti, Godavari and Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporations should be thoroughly investigated. Nardawe project of KIDC has two Cut of trench (COT). Such technical irregularities have been followed which must be stopped. The investigation of Balganga project would yield many shocking cases. It would be interesting to check how much cement grouting and expenses have been incurred to stop the leakage of Bhatsa project.
Discrepancy No.6.-
There have been numerous attempts in Maharashtra to raise the height of the dam wall. The existing dams do not get completely filled in the first place. Despite that, the department has consented to raise the dam wall height in hundreds of dams. Raising height has always been an expensive affair which has resulted in increased expenses. It has been a norm with Maharashtra's Irrigation Department that anybody would ask for raising the height and the department would float the tender. Considering the availability of funds with the state, contemplative policy makers would not have indulged in such things. But the unwise leadership has encouraged such attempts and dealt a permanent damage to all of us. It is clear that receiving cuts (percentages) against floating tenders has been a common norm here. If you would enlist the projects which witnessed such height raising, the SIT would understand the irregularities.
Many high cost and unviable projects have been undertaken/ are proposed to be undertaken under the name of increasing irrigation. When there has been no feasibility on the site, is there a case for floating high cost budget? While we have shortage of funds, such expensive affairs would not have been advisable. But some political representatives and engineers have made us bankrupt. I'm enlisting few projects here, the SIT should probe into them-
1. Manjarpada Project Phase 1, Nashik
2. Nerdhamne Project- Akola
3. Shahapur Project- Akola
4. Waghadi Project- Amaravati
5. Chandrabhaga Project- Amaravati
6. Kawatha Project- Amaravati
Despite the financial crunch in the state, nobody has bothered to talk sense into the cost estimates. How could we ever adopt the projects worth ₹ 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, and 2 thousand crores? The SIT must probe into this. It shows the prevalent mentality of satisfying political agendas from public funds and siphoning it off as much as possible. It is our responsibility to uproot such mentalities. Otherwise the democracy will not survive. We will see selfish anarchy rising in our country. We have come a long way from selfless leaders like Gandhi- Nehru to our current tender-floater leadership.
There is an urgent need to probe the tunnel works being done in Krishna river valley. There have been many tunneling works undertaken in Krishna valley without any rational basis. If one checks the rate analysis of all the excavation work, the rates would appear to have been inflated. There have been many big tunnels undertaken instead of small ones. It is a common practice to float the tender with small sized tunnels and increasing the size of the tunnel later on. SIT should probe into the works undertaken for all the tunnels so that such mistakes won't be repeated. If the team would investigate the tunnel works in Manjarpada-1 project, such practices would be unmasked.
Discrepancy No.-9
Many projects have been granted water availability certificates from the जलविज्ञान कार्यालय (Hydrology Project) of the government as a special case, which are violations of law. The SIT should make a list of all such cases and probe them to avoid repetitions. Despite the lack of water, projects are undertaken and then they never fill up for years together. Painaganga valley has seen several such examples and still, the water availability certificates have been granted 1.5 times more than the actual water availability on ground. We request you to investigate them all.
Discrepancy No 10-
There has been no master plan for any of the irrigation development corporation approved at the government level. In absence of approved master plan, the projects have been pushed forward. We would not have been in such an unfortunate situation if the state government would have prepared a master plan and then adopted the projects accordingly. Policy makers and secretary level bureaucrats are responsible for not approving such a master plan. There is a need to fix the responsibility of this irregularity and the government must plan its irrigation-related works according to a master plan. But some political leaders don't let this happen because they want to earn unfair profits out of it. Kindly suggest a measure which would permanently do away with this malpractice.
There has been an unfortunate trend in Maharashtra of showing a new project as a part of old project on the papers and floating the tenders without taking administrative approval. Hundreds of projects have been undertaken in such a fashion. SIT should ask for the information from all the development corporations and fix the responsibility of respective irregularity. 12 barrages of Godavari, Manjarpada 1 project could be cited for example. Therefore, we request you to suggest a permanent solution against this malpractice.
Discrepancy No. 12-
It is such a shame that the projects are not being completed for 20-40 years. It reflects our poor thinking and planning. We need to put a cap on the budgets of the projects. The planning should be such that any project must be completed within 5 years. We should stop the costs of projects running as high as ₹ 5, 10, 15 thousand crores. If the political leaders from the areas of Takari, Mhaisal, Tembhu lift irrigation schemes have not been able to complete these projects despite being in power, when would the projects of other areas be completed? The team must contemplate on this and create a work discipline in Maharashtra. Kindly fix the responsibility for taking so many lift irrigation schemes when not even 1% of the 300 schemes undertaken by the irrigation department are operational. Kindly suggest the measures for future so as to prevent the wastage of public funds.
There have been many irregularities in Mechanical department (यांत्रिकी विभाग) of Water Resources Department. Vigilance cell has received many complaints. Executive engineer, vigilance team, Pune has submitted the report to the government saying there have been humungous irregularities in the Mechanical wing. I request to inquire into it so that there would be a discipline within the mechanical wing. Nobody is paying attention to irregularities in that division.
There has been no provision for technical audit in the department. Therefore, there has never been a verification of technical matters. To prohibit people from indulging in technically flawed work, it is requested to start a technical audit on the basis of AG. Therefore, there would be check on technically flawed decisions. All planning has collapsed because of the wrong estimates.
Currently the state government doesn't supply the cement for the project works, contractors buy it on their own. Therefore, the department has lost control on cement usage. There has been a tremendous corruption in cement related matters. The main reason behind stopping the supply of cement has been that the contractors find it difficult of sell the cement after the work is done. However, no irrigation development corporation has ever undertaken the thorough check up of delivery challan and excise gate passes as per the tender conditions. Therefore, there is a huge corruption in cement usage. SIT can easily prove it. There would be a shocking revelation- and it should come out- if once checks the used cement, verified delivery challans and gate passes. Every engineer knows it but they prefer to keep quiet. But, SIT should probe this and fix the responsibilities. 23 km long lining of Gosikhurd Left Bank Canal has been completely taken out because of the poor quality. The reports of executive engineers of Maharashtra Engineering Research Institute (MERI), exposing the poor quality of work done in Lower Tapi and Tarali have been suppressed. Please at least stop this corruption by supplying cement to contractors. People would be grateful to you if you could do that.
There have been too many irregularities in the irrigation department under the name of Arbitration. A closer look at all the cases of arbitration would surface these irregularities and malpractices. Especially in Marathwada, Pune, Konkan divisions and more so, in Koyana project, the corruption has been many folds. The arbitration has been the best example of how the officials indulge in corruption instead of taking the decisions in the best interest of the country. Therefore, there is a need to re-audit all the arbitration cases. Please suggest strong measures to prevent such things from happening again.
Right now, the IPI circles are almost equal to none in the water resources department. Therefore, the contractors themselves prepare the budget estimates. They prepare the estimates as they please, get them approved using political pressures and siphon off the public funds. That's a norm! This has to stop immediately and the department must newly create IPI circles in each regional department. Isn't it obvious to the government? To the political representatives? But they all have deliberately made those mistakes. I request to find the defaulters in those cases.
Earlier the state also used to provide steel to the contractors. But now contractors themselves buy the steel. Like cement, the department has lost its control on steel usage and the risk of re-rolling steel being used in the work has increased. This is indeed serious. Therefore, it is requested that the steel should be supplied under Schedule-A like before. People who have taken such wrong decisions must be identified along with their faults.
I also request you to probe into all the steel gate fabrication works done by contractors for the rates of fabrication. In Jigaon Lift Irrigation Scheme, the fabrication rates- like the steel pipe rates- have been divorced from reality. If you would check the gates on Tapi, you can realize how the costs have been inflated. If all the irrigation development corporations are asked to submit the steel fabrication rates, irregularities of crores of rupees would be exposed.
There has been a tremendous corruption in all the corporations under the clause 38 and claims. Therefore, it is requested that all the clause 38 and claims cases of all the corporations be investigated. One would be surprised by the subsequent revelation of how the costs and respective works are inflated. It is worth investigating how the officers and politicians have joined hands to commit "mistakes". Engineers know the kind of pressure and tensions faced by the good officers who were opposing these decisions. Everybody knows how the people opposing it were insulted. These incidences are common in KIDC and so also in other corporations. Those should be investigated.
Cost of many items has been inflated beyond comprehension in all the corporations. It would be really an eye-opener exercise to check how the revised administrative approvals have been granted year-wise. For example, if you would compare the earlier tenders with the budget estimates in the Tapi Irrigation Development Corporation, you would easily find the irregularities. They have been happening all over. The rates have been inflated tremendously. Comparing the rate analysis method that was adopted before 1980 and the one in effect now would prove it. By use of machines, the rates should have actually gone down but they have been raised by deploying various tricks. Investigating in such cost escalation and finding the defaulters is the need of the hour so that nobody would ever dare to indulge in such malpractices.
The tenders have been awarded with high costs across all the corporations. If the true competitive bidding would have taken place, the tenders would have been awarded with 25-30% lesser rates and the works would have also been done because the rates of the rate index were higher as well. Instead of that the tenders are awarded with the higher percentage. Everyone knows how the tenders are floated at the government level. SIT should probe into all the tenders which have been awarded above percentage. The 3 large bridges which were built by Tapti Irrigation Development Corporation in the submergence area are higher than the current rate index by 60%, 70% and 80%. This is a serious irregularity. Probing into such high cost tenders awarded by all the corporations would yield the serious corruption in public expenditure. That's why ₹ 2900 Cr tenders had to be cancelled in one go. Such a shame!
The costs of barrages built on Godavari, are raised by constructing a large dam without any reason. This is a shameful waste of money when there has been a financial crisis. Everybody has fallen prey to such hideous plans. All of these actions should be investigated into and the defaulters must be brought to the book.
Some of the irregularities have been brought to your notice. Apart from these, it is requested to you to suggest strong measures to prevent ground level and foundation level scams. Please assign at least three people to cross check such activities. It saddens me to think how much state is losing in all of such scams. But everyone seems to have become insensitive. Those who oppose it are transferred. Politicians don't even know about technical sins. We need to stop all such mismanagement and misuse of power. The crimes pertaining to such adjustments would be exposed by checking the earlier Cement delivery chalan and gate passes of RA-bills.
All the corporations have been routinely floating the tenders for a project based on the designs of other project and later on escalating the costs by several folds based actual design. It is requested that such information be collected from all the corporations and identifying the responsible people so that these irregularities would never occur.
The high cost tenders are floated just to siphon off public funds. What can you call this practice- of preparing a budget estimate with hundreds of thousand crores, awarding the tender, spending around ₹ 10-15 Cr only in the beginning against the advance, and then for next 14 years, the project doesn't get any money while the cost of the project rises from ₹ 600 Cr to ₹ 2100 Cr!
Do you think these projects would ever be complete? The worst cases in this regards are Sulwadi, Jamphal Lift Irrigation Scheme, Prakasha-Burai Lift Irrigation schemes etc. The tenders of hundreds of thousands of rupees of the projects on which less than 25 % of funds have been spent must be cancelled with immediate effect. Instead, the works costing less than ₹ 100 Cr should be undertaken otherwise the state would never come out of the financial crunch.
There needs to be a thorough investigation into Takari, Tembhu, Mhaisal Lift Irrigation Schemes. Despite spending crores of rupees in last 25 years, the farmers are not getting water. The responsible people must be unmasked after thorough investigation. The machinery installed 20-25 years ago has its days numbered. Isn't the expenditure totally wasted? What is the use of the projects which can't even irrigate 10-15 % of the promised irrigated area? It is requested that kindly compile the information from respective departments and probe into them. Please suggest strict measures about Lift Irrigation Schemes as well. (It is also requested that please investigate Krishna Marathwada Lift Irrigation Schemes, Khuntefal storage lake, Kurha- Vadoda Lift Irrigation Schemes as well).
Granting the advance money while there is no provision in the tender has also been one of the unfortunate norms. It is requested to collect the information from the respective corporations and identify the defaulters. For example- Five lift irrigation schemes of the Tapi Irrigation Development Corporation.
All the irrigation development corporations have indulged in floating and awarding the tenders without legitimate surveys and optimum designs. I request you to seek the information on all such cases and find the defaulters. All the "C" Tenders awarded in the state fall under this irregularity. Therefore, please fix the responsibility of such "C" Tenders after conducting due investigations, especially in case of "C" tenders awarded under Krishna valley, Tapti and Kokan irrigation development corporation.
We have many projects in Maharashtra which have violated the I. S. Code norms and received approvals. 12 barrages on Godavari are the best examples of such violations. I would not be surprised if sooner or later these barrages would create some or the other kind of problem. Not taking flood design into account as per I. S. Code, especially in case of river like Godavari, is a serious blunder. I request you to investigate all such cases from respective corporations and fix the responsibilities.
All the corporations have been floating and awarding the tenders without completing land-acquisition and rehabilitation of the affected families and obviously projects keep lagging for years together in absence of such important formalities. It is requested to find the responsible people and fix their responsibility
It's an open secret why the files are sent back to cabinet minister for "Liability Sanction" after completing all the due procedures of awarding the tender. The truth would come out if the data-wise investigations are carried in all such cases of liability sanction. Such kind of hegemony never takes place in any of the states in India. Please look into the matter and suggest preventive measures.
In most of the estimates about the projects of Konkan and Vidarbha, though the excavation works have been done with the help of machinery, lift schemes are proposed in the rate analysis. So also in cases of pit filling works done using the machinery of hearting. Please summon the respective corporations over such irregularities, ask for the detailed reports and fix the responsibilities on defaulters.
The budgets and estimates prepared by all the corporations are never checked/ cross-checked properly and are directly submitted to the state technical advisory committee. All the irrigation development corporations have been indulging into this. Nobody has so far been suspended no matter how many blunders the person committed. So, everyone has become fearless of law and the politicians have become god fathers of such corrupt people. Kindly investigate into all such matters and find the defaulters so that such activities would stop.
I've highlighted some of the major irregularities happening in the department. I request the SIT to come out with the measures which would prevent repetition of such things. It is further requested to take away powers to transfer the officers from politicians. The situation would be much different if the politicians are kept out of these transfer mechanisms.
Also, there should be no involvement of politicians as far as tender processes are concerned. The unfathomable corruption in tender processes would stop only if the politicians are kept at bay. Kindly recommend robust measures for that.
Lastly, I beg you for recommending the government to move away from constructing large dams, big canals, huge lift schemes, and budgets spanning over millions of rupees etc. otherwise the situation would never improve.
There is a need to revisit the fundamentals of irrigation schemes and adopt small dams, water conservation measures like Shirpur patterns etc. Large dams should be taken up only in exceptional cases. The situation seems pretty grim considering the large dams, canals, and distribution networks that we have undertaken in last 50 years. We need to check if the area which was supposed to be irrigated, has really been benefited. There is no point in digging wells for the purpose of percolation either. What has happened to the commitment that we had made in the beginning? Its review would prove that our total irrigation efficiency doesn't even exceed 15%. So please review and revisit our irrigation policies. The state would have had much better irrigation had the Shirpur of such small, appropriate technology patterns had been adopted. Unfortunately the state has suffered the most because of the people with insatiable greed for power and money- be it engineers, or politicians or contractors. The political leaders have stripped the state of all its possessions. Therefore, I beg you to drastically change the irrigation policy. I pray to the ultimate creator that you would change the situation for the betterment of Maharashtra.
It does not matter if the team would need an extension, or if an additional investigation team would be composed, but, please create an order in the state.

Q: Convert Java Set to Java Comma Separated String I have a java Set
private Set<String> packageCategories;
This has the value ['Abc','Def']. I want to display the value of packageCategories in the UI which now displays as ['Abc','Def'] but I want to display it as simply 'Abc', 'Def.
I tried
String.join(",", packageCategories);
context.put("packageCategories", packageCategories);
I am getting compilation error
incompatible types: java.util.Set<java.lang.String> cannot be converted to java.lang.String.
How can I achieve this? I searched in StackOverflow and it has answers to convert List to comma separated string. But I didn't find any answer to convert Set to comma separated string.
The answer given in Fastest way to put contents of Set<String> to a single String with words separated by a whitespace? does not work for me.
PS: I am not a JAVA Developer.
A: You can achieve the same using streams :
String collect = packageCategories.stream().collect(Collectors.joining(","));
With your original code snippet you can use :
String.join(",", packageCategories).replaceAll("[\\[\\]]", "")
A: You need to use StringUtils not String
StringUtils.join(packageCategories,",")

Wellington, FL – Dec. 3, 2015 – "Be One of a Kind…Advice From a Princess" tells the tale of a young horse who struggles to be accepted and is bullied by her peers. It is a story not unlike that of many of the children involved with Horses Healing Hearts (HHH), a unique equine-assisted program that helps children whose lives have been affected by family members with alcoholism and addiction.
The author of "Be One of a Kind…Advice From a Princess," KC Steege-Hunter, learned of the HHH mission through announcements of Quinton Aaron's recent collaboration with the organization. She was intrigued to find another charity that broached the subject of bullying through horses, and she quickly recognized the similarity of the books' message to that of Horses Healing Hearts. Now she is generously donating 50 percent of the books' profits to HHH.
The illustrated children's book is available for sale online here, and right now, purchasing the book is the perfect way to give back, while also buying a gift for the holidays!
With beautiful illustrations by LN Lydon-Oliveira, the book follows a young filly named Maria who is not accepted and is picked on by the other young horses. Maria soon befriends Princess Nikki, an older horse at the barn, who reminds Maria that everyone is special regardless of his or her differences. The book's powerful message about embracing individuality and loving yourself is helping parents and children discuss the the difficult topic of bullying.
Bullying is a common struggle for the children of Horses Healing Hearts who have been raised in homes where substance abuse and addiction are present. Because of the trauma they have experienced at home they are sometimes withdrawn and awkward, which makes them a target for bullies. Additionally, they do not have the family support network that healthier families have. Consequently, they are at a higher risk for suicide as a result of bullying.
Proceeds from the sales of "Be One of a Kind…Advice from a Princess" will benefit the children of Horses Healing Hearts.
Horses Healing Hearts serves as their missing support network. Support Horses Healing Hearts and get your copy of "Be One of a Kind…Advice From a Princess" online here today! Find the book on Facebook here for additional information, and visit Horses Healing Hearts online at www.HHHUSA.org.
Horses Healing Hearts is a nonprofit that uses horses to help children of alcoholics and addicts. The participants come from homes where stress, anger and violence are the norm, and in fact, about one quarter of the children participating have lost a parent to suicide, overdose or jail. HHH is a compelling organization that assists children in changing their own lives. Because HHH provides a safe place for children to share and understand their feelings, learn they are not alone and be around the miracle of horses, it gives them the tools to not only survive addiction but to thrive. To learn more about Horses Healing Hearts or how you can help with donations of money or time, log onto www.HHHUSA.org, email Liz Olszewski at [email protected] or call (561) 713-6133. | {

Parents reassure themselves their children won't want to play with them forever
A COUPLE with young children are comforting themselves that one day their kids will not even want to be in the same room as them.
Stephen and Louise Malley, who have two beautiful boys under five, spend hours engaged in imaginative play with them but are getting through it by promising each other it will one day be over.
Stephen said: "These days won't last forever. And when I'm crammed into a playhouse castle pretending to eat worms, that thought's in the forefront of my mind.
"The magic of childhood is all very well, but I'm forty-three and I want to sit on a chair."
Louise agreed: "I've resigned myself to seven more years of this and then, fingers crossed, it'll be Xboxes and smartphones until they leave home.
"I can't wait for the moment one of them slams a door in my face or stops speaking to me for a month because I suggest he does his homework.
"Sometimes in the evenings we watch Toy Story 3 and weep at the bit where Andy's grown up and doesn't need Woody and Buzz any more. One day, please God, that'll be us."
Is cricket the greatest sport ever or are you just watching it p*ssed?
CRICKET: it dates back to 1598, it goes on for days and despite most of the world having no interest England still never wins.
But is it the greatest sport ever or are you already drunk by 10am? Find out:
Is cricket really better than football?
A) Football is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, while cricket is a gentlemen's game played by gentlemen. With no hooligans involved. Hold on, I'm throwing a can of Red Stripe at the umpire.
B) Football is fun, but there's a limit to how drunk you can get in 90 minutes. With cricket you can really make your buzz last.
What about tennis?
A) Women play tennis. They're even good at it. Therefore it can't properly be considered a sport.
B) Tennis does go on, I'll give you that, but ever tried to get properly hammered on Pimm's? Even swigging it neat from the bottle falls short.
Can't cricket's rules be hard for the layman to follow?
A) Don't see why, it's perfectly simple. There's innings, and overs, and leg-before-wicket, and hang on, let me Google it. Sorry, I'm smashed.
B) The great thing about cricket is you don't have to bother about the rules because the umpire does all that. Round of shorts?
Is there a finer way for an Englishman to spend a sunny day than watching a game of cricket?
A) Not now the Empire's gone, no. Double gin please.
B) I'm sorry, I'm too drunk to understand the question. You see, the cricket's on.
Mostly As: Congratulations, you labour under the wild delusion that cricket is somehow superior to all other sports. And are drunk.
Mostly Bs: Well done for recognising cricket as nothing more than an excuse to get wrecked all day. Oblivion is your reward.

The chief executive officer of Jumia Nigeria, Juliet Anammah, has said the company's integrated and interconnected ecosystem across its 23 markets in Africa has helped to build a solid foundation for the company in Nigeria and across Africa. She made the revelation while speaking with some foreign media delegates who came to Nigeria to tour the company's expansive Lagos warehouse located in Ikeja.
Anammah also mentioned that the deficiency of logistics infrastructure in the country should be seen as an opportunity, rather than a challenge. She stressed that the deficit allows for the aggregation of multiple third party logistics players in the market because there are many people who have some logistics capacity, but they have not operated in an eCommerce environment.
Jumia is building tomorrow's African e-commerce infrastructure with online and mobile world-class marketplaces, providing affordable and convenient services to consumers and helping them fulfill their everyday needs. Jumia's mission is to transform and improve people's lives - thanks to technology.
Through its different platforms and services namely Jumia eCommerce, Jumia Travel, Jumia Food, Jumia House, Jumia Deals, Jumia Jobs, Jumia Pay, Jumia One and Jumia Services, the company is fostering the digital shift of the entire African economy. Jumia is supporting the growth of African companies and expanding their horizons. More than 60, 000 local African companies and individuals do business on Jumia. | {

Owning a Ping-Pong table (or a table tennis table) can diversify your leisure time or even lay down a way for sports achievements! Since you are here, you are probably already pursuing one of those goals. Finding a good ping pong table, though, can be tough, but be sure that this article will give you the necessary guidelines to do so! Below, we've listed the most amazing ping pong tables out there. Check them out and choose the one you like most.
JOOLA Inside table tennis table is an excellent choice both for amateurs and professional players. JOOLA company, which is, by the way, an official brand of US Open and US National Championships, generally makes ping pong tables in several variants – each variant differs in thickness of the surface. This table is not an exception! You can choose between 15 mm, 18 mm, and 25 mm. The most optimal variant is 18 mm, but if you want to have an experience compared to none that resembles professional tournaments or something of that kind, then you may get 25 mm. One way or another the table will provide a good ball bounce.
JOOLA Inside is foldable and movable, which makes it perfect for small places. If you don't want to play the game all the time, you may just move the table to the side or fold it in half, so that it was possible to do other activities in the liberated space. Don't be concerned about the fact that you'll have to make a lot of efforts in order to set up this table – it takes only 10 minutes to do so.
More than that, it is extremely easy to use a playback mode – just leave one side of the table vertical and enjoy playing solo! Last but not least advantage of this table is that you can regulate leg height, which is great if you have kids, for example.
To end up with, this table tennis table is definitely worth consideration. Depending on the thickness you choose, the table may be very well fitted at home, in a community center, or in any other indoor area. It is both safe and convenient. Even children can use it. So… Just go check the price!
Cornilleau 500M is both outdoor and indoor tennis table. Its surface is 7mm, but it is laminate which ensures excellent ball bounce. What's more, it is made so that there was glare reduction, and since the table is outdoor, the surface is waterproof. All in all, the surface is great!
Among other advantages of this table, it is worth noting a durable steel frame that will last for a really long time, adjustable legs, and larger wheels – this detail is crucial if an outdoor area is a bit bumpy and therefore makes it easy to break small poorly constructed wheels.
As you can see, the table is also foldable. The creators claim that it is safe as well, and there is no reason not to trust them – the thing is provided with a lock system, which is designed to keep the players safe. By the way, here you can also play solo using a playback mode.
To sum up, Cornilleau 500M is a great outdoor (and indoor) table for playing ping pong. It might cost a bit more since it is outdoor, but the overall playing experience should be top!
Butterfly Centerfold 25 is a professional ping pong table. It is approved by ITTF and USTTA for tournaments play, and, of course, for all the right reasons. First and foremost, this table has a magnificent 1-inch surface. It comes in two colors – green and blue. The surface is scratch proof which guarantees a long usage without deformation.
The table is easy to fold, and the folding position doesn't take much space. Adjustable feet and other details that can be changed if needed make playing ping pong available to anyone, even to those who use wheelchairs.
The overall quality of this tennis table is impeccable! So, if you aim for acquiring a table for professional goals, don't miss this option! Its price might be staggering, but for those who keen on ping pong, it might be worth it.
JOOLA Rally TL Professional Grade table tennis table is an indoor one. Here, the surface is made of wood which makes it not suitable for playing outside because of the weather, humidity, and other factors. But, as they say, occasionally even an indoor table can be turned into an outdoor one. The surface is not that thick, but enough for a consistent bounce – 5/8 inch or 15 mm.
Legs are made from steel, which basically equals durability. Attaching the legs to the surface takes about 15 minutes. By the way, there are special legs adjusters that let you provide a level playing field.
As for the other highlights, each corner of the table has a ball holder, which makes playing more convenient. What's more, the table has two abacus scorers.
In sum, JOOLA Rally is a nice indoor table that is perfect for home or maybe an office. If you are an amateur and want to have a ping-pong table on hand each time you want to play, this is a great option for you!
Then, it doesn't have all those frills like scorers or ball holders. Its surface is navy blue, and, well, as for everything else, it is practically the same – height adjusters, playback mode, movability & safety. So, you got to make a choice – what is more important: to have additional details or to have a thicker surface.
If the thickness (which ensures a good ball bounce) is a priority to you, then definitely pay a closer attention to JOOLA Tour. All in all, JOOLA Tour is quite a tempting offer!
JOOLA Midsize Compact ping pong table is perfect for small places, so if your apartment is cozy and small and you are a big fan of table tennis, this might be the one! It may be not that professional – with a surface thickness of 2/3 inch and no adjustable legs – but it is something. Your kids will love it and you yourself will love it – for such a price!
Two halves of the table are easily separated which allows you to use them as pieces of furniture. So, by buying this ping pong table, you do not only get a playing field, you also get two perfectly fine stylish coffee tables. How cool is that?
So, if you don't take table tennis too seriously and just want to have a good time playing it now and then, definitely check JOOLA Midsize Compact!
This Killerspin table tennis table is loved by many people, especially in the US (since Killerspin is an American brand). The table depicted below is an outdoor one, but, of course, just like any other outdoor table, it can be used indoors as well. The waterproof surface, as well as weatherproof clip-on net and other details such as big wheels, make it suitable for dealing with under the sky.
MyT-O doesn't take a lot of time to assemble – just around 15 minutes to fix 8 bolts. If you want to play solo, there is such a possibility as well – all you need to do is to lift up one of the table's halves.
All in all, this is a pretty standard outdoor table for playing ping pong. Its steel frame and waterproof surface ensure durability under any conditions. So, if you are looking for something simple and durable, don't forget to check the price!
STIGA STS520 is an indoor table. The whole STS series made by STIGA are of an excellent quality. They're designed specially for high, tournaments level performance, so be sure you don't overpay – you pay a lot for something really great (of course, if you're aiming for acquiring something really great).
As you can see in the picture down below, the looks of the table are stylish as hell. The locking system that is made for proving secure and safe transportation is working smoothly, without any problems. As for the surface, its thickness is 1 inch, which is perfect for a reliable ball bounce. What's more, it is silk-screened.
As for the other advantages, we can mention steel legs with levelers and ball holders. In a nutshell, this table can be used not only for amateur gatherings but also for professional purposes. So, if you are keen on ping pong, definitely check this one!
Undoubtedly, STIGA does not only makes super expensive table tennis tables – there are quite reasonable prices as well. For example, this table – STIGA Advantage – definitely falls within the middle priced category. The table is an indoor one with 5/8 inch silk-screened surface. It comes preassembled which means that it won't take you too many efforts to get the table ready for playing.
The net here is easy to attach and remove. Apart from the already familiar transportation/locking/safety system, it is worth noting that the storage position of this table does not take a lot of space. If you wish, you can even separate the table into two halves. And, by the way, a playback mode is present as well.
All in all, this option is great for home. It looks good and performs its function well! For further details, check the Amazon link.
Now, STIGA Optimum 30 certainly does not fall within the middle priced category. But it is extremely good! It is provided with optimum bounce technology which includes 30 mm thick top. The construction of the table is stable and secure. Actually, there are a lot of similarities if you compare this one to the first STIGA on this list.
It would be odd to describe the same features all over again, so we'll just say that if you are a professional, don't miss this option! If you are not, choose something more modest – it is hard to notice the difference anyway!
Kettler Match is an ultra-compact indoor/outdoor table of a pretty good quality. It includes almost all the features that are assigned to the tables above – playback mode, durability, locking system, and others. The only drawback is probably the lack of legs adjusters, which can be problematic if the surface is uneven.
The table is available just in the US. If you are looking for a good outdoor table for playing ping pong that is not so expensive, it might be the one! Check the price, compare to the other options, and make your decision!
Thank for reading up till the end! We hope this article has helped you to find the desired ping pong table. Stay tuned for more articles of this kind & have fun playing! | {

A week today Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs will release their debut album, Feed The Rats on Rocket Recordings, and above, we're offering you an exclusive advance first listen of it in full.
The album is loaded with swampy guitar riffs, effortlessly meshing together various different subsets of rock music, with a psych tinge lighting up the otherwise metal-esque tunes. "It's a pretty perfect balance of obnoxiousness, ridiculousness, intensity and theatrics, and somewhere within that spectrum is where our music sits too," says the band's Matthew Baty. The three-track album sprawls out over 40 minutes capturing much of the energy of their live shows.
Below you can also check out a video for single 'Sweet Relief' which is newly premiering today too - its animations and colours further add a hint of psychedelia to their music. You can check their upcoming UK tour dates starting next week below that as well. The album is out on January 20 and can be pre-ordered here.
Earlier this week we also premiered a storming new single from another act on Rocket Recordings, called Gnoomes - the track is entitled 'Cascais' and can be listened to here. | {

Zuidas Develops
Kindercampus 'community hub in the new Ravel neighbourhood'
In 2024, the Kindercampus Zuidas childcare centre is moving to a brand-new building in the new Ravel residential neighbourhood. As a result, the primary school and childcare facility is set to take on a real community function. 'We still want to have a place where we can continue to build huts.'
Neighbours respond positively to Ravel
If everything goes smoothly, the City Council will officially approve the zoning plan for the new Ravel residential district in the summer of 2021. We have held talks on several occasions with businesses, employees and residents nearby in order to take their ideas on board as much as possible.
Kindercampus Zuidas allocated new site in Ravel district
Kindercampus Zuidas education centre has been allocated a new site in the future Ravel residential district. This has been agreed between the Public Education Foundation Stichting Openbaar Onderwijs aan de Amstel and the City of Amsterdam. It marks the first step in setting up the school in the new district.
Zoning plan for Zuidas-Ravel residential district open for consultation
The draft zoning plan for the 'Zuidas-Ravel residential district' has been open for consultation since 24 December 2020. Ravel will be a new residential district with around 1,350 homes. Work is set to start in 2022. The consultation period lasts until 3 February 2021.
'Building a residential neighbourhood is quite a complex process'
Zuidas will soon have a new residential neighbourhood: Ravel. Construction is set to start at the end of 2022, but there have been years of preparation leading up to that. As project manager, Monique Soe-Agnie has been very closely involved.
A new green, child-friendly residential neighbourhood in Zuidas
Starting in 2022, a new green, car-free neighbourhood called Ravel will be created in Zuidas, providing 1,350 homes. Most of these will be relatively large, and in the social rental or mid-range rental sectors. They will be located in a park-like setting, with plenty of space for play and recreation.

San Francisco Ponders Taxing Drivers By Mileage
Kurt Ernst August 1, 2012 Comment Now!
Building and maintaining roads, bridges and tunnels is an expensive proposition, and rising costs mean that municipal, county and state budgets often fall short. Raising tolls, or raising the taxes levied on gasoline are both ways to address revenue shortages, but neither are popular with drivers.
A nine-county regional agency in Northern California, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), is considering a plan that would tax motorists by the miles actually driven. While the plan sounds fair on paper, it relies on technology than most drivers would object to having in their personal vehicles.
In order to measure miles driven, cars would likely be equipped with a GPS tracking device, and as Wheels Blog points out, that raises all kinds of privacy concerns. After all, couldn't such a system also track where a vehicle was driven, at what time and at what speed?
The MTC is quick to point out that, "tracking people is the last thing we care about," according to spokesman Randy Rentschler. The vehicle tracking scenario is also just one of many under consideration, and Rentschler further clarifies that, "...it's way too early to say if any plan would track people's mileage with GPS. That's one way it could work."
Critics say that taxing by miles driven would unfairly impact lower-income drivers, requiring any such fee to take income into consideration. Still, a user fee is seen as more relevant than raising sales taxes, as doing so would impact those who opt not to drive.
The MTC is hardly the first agency to propose such a plan. In 2009, a bipartisan Congressional commission, the National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission, recommended a switch away from taxing gasoline to taxing miles driven by 2020.
No detailed discussion of how to implement such a system was provided, and the group's ideas were never implemented. As this idea keeps turning up in discussion, it seems to us that a road tax based on miles driven is inevitable.

It seems to be an ever increasing image of our High Streets, where 'closing down', 'liquidation sale' or 'store closing' signage still remains in an empty shell of a shop front. The signage remains but there is no activity.
This in a way has parallels with the many social media accounts we all view each week where the profile remains, but again, no activity.
If you've set up Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or other accounts for your business, then please, I'd love you to read on. However if you're new to using social media for business or looking to set up new profiles on other networks, then before you create any new social profiles, STOP! Your profiles are a representation of you.
So why am I harping on about giving time to your profiles? Well it comes down to these abandoned shop-fronts.
How many of us these days can walk along our local high street and see one, if not numerous, dilapidated stores, left looking pitiful? And what do you feel? I for one feel a sadness. It's a bit depressing.
Can the same be said of your social profiles? Are they sad and depressing? They certainly can act as a portal to your own shop front, so if you have dormant profiles, what is that saying about you and your business?
(and this one's my favourite…) Your last posts, each one month apart, are all automated tweets stating how many new followers you've gained each month (or more likely, not gained).
Not only does it look tired, lazy and unprofessional, it could be construed as poor customer service – and these days people expect! Not replying to likes, shares, comments, questions or new followers only gives the appearance that you've retired, died, emigrated, been locked up or just don't give a damn.
Does this mean you should be making yet another belated resolution?
Well, you could just shut up shop (although a little extreme). At the very least you could publish a weekly post on each of your social media profiles and breathe a little bit of life back into your business, after all your social media is a reflection of you. Or... Give your profiles dedicated time and attention and make Social Media work for you.
Tony Walton is the head honcho here at Excelsier, and he knows social media both inside and out. Not only that, but he's a fine fellow who loves nothing more than to help other businesses grow and flourish via their use of social media. He also brews a mean cuppa, so if you fancy learning more about how social media can be used effectively to boost your business AND enjoy a decent beverage at the same time, then you couldn't be in better hands.
Excelsier's clever and inventive use of the various social media platforms available coupled with their knowledge and insight make them an invaluable business connection.
Excelsier's knowledge in not only the obvious social media platforms out there but also those little hidden gems is second to none. | {

The politics of polarization. After four years of waiting for the ruling Christian Democrats to bring peace and prosperity, many Salvadorans are disillusioned. With presidential elections only five months away, the far right and the left are working hard to fill the void in the political center.
By Brook Larmer Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
JUST as the new mayor, Armando Calder'on Sol, launches into a tirade about corruption and inefficiency in the government of Jos'e Napole'on Duarte, he is cut off by an urgent phone call from the chief of police. Mr. Calder'on Sol - a front-line warrior in the battle to reform the nefarious image of the right-wing Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA) - returns with startling news: The police just caught two of his employees selling promises of government jobs for $100 to $200 each.
``There's a crisis of values in every government institution,'' says Calder'on Sol, echoing the theme that, in March, helped him sweep past incumbent mayor Alejandro Duarte, the President's son. ``We're trying to create a totally new image. And if we don't do something about corruption, we're not going anywhere.''
It's quite a twist on history.
Ever since ARENA was founded by former Army intelligence officer Roberto d'Aubuisson in 1981, it has been known more for chasing down ``communists'' than corruption.
Mr. d'Aubuisson himself has been charged with leading right-wing death squads that bloodied the streets with up to 25 bodies a day in the early 1980s. US officials accused d'Aubuisson of arranging a machine-gun attack on the American Embassy here in 1981 and linked his associates to a plot to assassinate then-Ambassador Thomas Pickering in 1984.
The controversial ex-Army major is still the party's driving force, according to several diplomats who closely monitor ARENA. But he has lowered his profile since his 1984 election defeat, allowing the more moderate voices of Calder'on Sol and presidential candidate Alfredo Cristiani to woo middle-class voters and US policymakers.
The strategy has apparently worked.
ARENA overwhelmed the US-backed Christian Democrats in the March 1988 elections, winning 179 of the country's 262 towns and a majority of deputies in the 60-seat Legislative Assembly. And now, as it promotes reputation for clean, effective government, the far-right party seems poised to wrest the presidency from Duarte's party in elections next March.
The US administration has portrayed ARENA's election vic-tory as another step for a maturing democracy. Assistant Secretary of State Elliot Abrams says: ``I can't think of a better test than having a government in power run totally free elections and allow itself to lose them.''
Setback for US policy
But a wide range of foreign diplomats and political analysts here - including ARENA leaders themselves - consider the party's rise to be a stinging rejection of an American policy that has staked its hopes on Duarte's moderate Christian Democrats.
Even US officials concede that if d'Aubuisson played a key role in an ARENA presidency, Washington would have to reevaluate its deep commitment to El Salvador.
Since 1980, the United States has spent more than $3 billion propping up the political middle so that extremists on the right and left would not take power. The Central Intelligence Agency even pumped in several million dollars to ensure Duarte's 1984 election win over d'Aubuisson.
Duarte has notched some successes. Despite the country's current power vacuum and economic woes, the military has not responded with an old-style coup. The leftist rebels are finding it difficult to stir up social unrest. And even Duarte's leftist critics say more Salvadorans now respect the vote as the most effective method for change.
But even with massive US aid - and in part because of the exaggerated expectations it generated - Duarte has lost popular support. Indeed, pollsters here say the March elections were less a popular embrace of ARENA than an angry rejection of the Christian Democrats for failing to produce either prosperity or peace.
Voters disillusioned
For proof, the pollsters point to the fastest-growing group in the electorate: people who don't vote at all. More than 1.4 million voters cast ballots in the 1984 elections that catapulted Duarte into office; only 930,000 people voted in last March's legislative elections.
Like a negligent farmer, critics say, Duarte has failed to cultivate his government. He chose ineffective administrators. He let the misuse of US funds run rampant. And he failed to prevent a damaging internal split from eating away at his party.
But there were also enormous roadblocks. With his lofty goals of peace and reform, Duarte felt trapped between left and right. According to a close friend, his feelings urged him to address the needs of the popular working classes; but his reason told him to cater to the powerful - the Army, the oligarchy, and the US Embassy.
``Duarte created, in theory, a centrist government of reform and change, but he's just clung onto office,'' says a European diplomat, voicing the frustration of many Salvadorans. ``In the face of monumental challenges, he's retreated into the world of illusion. He has come to represent not reform but the status quo.''
Left joins political process
Several leftist politicians have returned after years of exile to try to capture the huge pool of disillusioned voters. They formed a small coalition, the Democratic Convergence - including the political ally of the guerrillas, the Democratic Revolutionary Front - to participate in the 1989 elections. But the leftist leaders have not re-nounced their ties to the rebels (see accompanying story).
The Christian Democrats' presidential candidate is a former planning minister, Fidel Ch'avez Mena. With heavy US backing, the colorless technocrat recently won a bitter power struggle with his freewheeling party rival, Adolfo Rey Prendes. But most political observers say Mr. Ch'avez Mena piled up a lot of political debts along the way.
``His hands are completely tied,'' says leftist leader Jorge Villacorta, noting that the candidate owes his biggest debt to the US Embassy. ``Ch'avez Mena is much more compromised with the US than Duarte ever was,'' he says. ``He'd make a good employee.''
ARENA'S `moderate' man
Ch'avez Mena's opponent in ARENA, businessman Alfredo Cristiani, is also a bit short on clout and charisma. As one European diplomat quipped: ``Freddy is very pleasant, very moderate, very mediocre - he'd make a good diplomat.''
Mr. Cristiani, a Georgetown University graduate, has impressed US policymakers with his soft-spoken manner and perfect English. The wealthy coffee grower says he wants to roll back Duarte's liberal reforms by returning the banks and export trade to private hands. But he also assails the US for bogging down the war effort with its ``human rights psychosis.''
Cristiani has attracted middle-class voters looking for a respectable alternative to the Christian Democrats. But critics say his policies would dangerously polarize the country, widening the gap between left and right, rich and poor.
``The only serious chance for stability is if Ch'avez Mena wins,'' a top Reagan administration official says. ``If Salvadorans want to continue European and North American support, they need Ch'avez Mena there.''
But several other US officials and Cristiani himself seem confident that as long as ARENA maintains a moderate image, the US won't slash badly needed economic and military aid. ``If we win a free election,'' Cristiani says, ``the US has no choice but to work with us.''
With ARENA running ahead in the polls, US officials here are scurrying around trying to help tame the party. But some officials say they still have a lingering fear that the inexperienced Cristiani will not be able to control ARENA's darker side. There are unsettling signs that Cristiani is not in charge.
Retired Col. Sigifredo Ochoa, ARENA's president of the Legislative Assembly, recently raised new concerns when he warned that any US attempt to impose Ch'avez Mena as president would be met with ``right-wing guerrillas.''
At the ARENA party convention Oct. 9, it was d'Aubuisson who wielded influence behind the scenes. According to a party official and a well-informed diplomat, his supporters pressured Calder'on Sol, the moderate mayor, to decline the vice-presidential nomination, leaving it open for a close d'Aubuisson ally.
It's not clear how the US would react to an ARENA victory. But just as Duarte's 1984 victory over d'Aubuisson removed El Salvador as a contentious US issue, so ARENA's rise is sure to put the country back on the American political map.
El Salvador's political left is a study in contrasts
Rub'en Zamora seems to thrive on contradictions.
On one hand, he is a driving force behind the Democratic Convergence, a coalition of leftist parties participating in the democratic process for the first time in 16 years. But on the other hand, the European-style Socialist keeps an alliance with the Marxist rebels of the Farabundo Mart'i Liberation Front.
One of the Convergence's priorities in the campaign for next March's presidential elections is to push for political negotiations, including the FMLN, to bring an end to the eight-year civil war. But statements by the rebels indicate they may yet try to sabotage the elections.
Mr. Zamora and Guillermo Ungo, the left's presidential candidate, returned from eight years of exile last year against the wishes of the FMLN to take advantage of the Central American peace plan and the political void left by the faltering Christian Democrats.
Organizing in rural areas in a bid to build a nationwide party, Zamora says they have found two sentiments among potential supporters: fear, given the thousands of political killings in the past eight years, and hope. ``Our task is to make hope predominate over fear.''
The leftist leaders admit that their continuing connection to the armed rebels has somewhat undermined their campaign.
Not only has it irked the United States Embassy and the Salvadoran government; it has also scared and confused some potential supporters. In several recent protest marches, more radical groups tied to the FMLN - prone to violence and provocation - have mixed with peaceful demonstrators. This has only ``given the Army an instrument to generate terror'' against all leftist supporters, one leader says.
The Army is not now engaged in the murders of leftist politicians, as it was in the early '80s. But the Army and government are carrying out an extensive psychological campaign to blame the Convergence for the destruction the FMLN wrought.
At a recent gathering of journalists, President Duarte asked: ``How are they going to justify their links with the FMLN? How are they going to explain it?''
Zamora says it is simple. ``The FMLN is an indispensable part of the political solution in this country. It would be a political absurdity to return to fight politically and break relations [with the FMLN].''
At this point in El Salvador, he suggests, elections alone will not resolve the country's problems, since no matter who wins, the real power rests in the hands of the Army. Zamora says political negotiations involving the Army and rebels are needed along with elections.
Also, by severing ties with the FMLN, a force rooted in the country's economic and political injustices, leftist politicians fear they would be reduced to a ``bonsai left'' - a decorative part of Salvadoran democracy continually pruned by intimidation.
For now, the Convergence is only shooting to finish third in the presidential race. That way, one of their members, most likely Zamora, would be appointed to a five-year seat on the three-member elections council - and play a key brokering role in running the country's future elections.
Could politics taint slain Salvadoran Bishop Romero's path to sainthood?

My interest was piqued by the last interviewee, a woman from Pakistan living in Ireland for the last 10 years, who expressed an opinion that there was no sanction for hate crimes or speech in this country - something which I am not sure is necessarily true. She also stated that something must be done to stop these attacks on Muslims. In fairness to O'Gorman, he pressed her on the Bataclan outrage and her response took my breath away. She said: "What happened in New Zealand was a terrorist attack. What happened in the Bataclan was revenge." The fault lines are still visible in both communities.
The murder of 50 people in New Zealand - quite apart from the grotesqueness of yet another slaughter of innocent people - was the moment that country got a taste of the madness that has been going on in a lot of the rest of the world. Innocence and peace was lost forever in the space of an hour. Evil lays its clammy hand on everything, and distance or seclusion is not an insurmountable hurdle.
I have written previously about my disdain for guns and gun laws. Quite how in the civilised world automatic and semi-automatic weapons are readily available to anyone who wants to purchase them is beyond me.
In the wake of this atrocity, New Zealand set about passing legislation to prohibit the sale of such weapons. No inquiries, no tribunals, no committees. The ban came within a fortnight of the event.
Another small footnote is that nobody is mentioning the perpetrator's name, a small mercy.
Inevitably there will be another mass slaughter somewhere else some time this year where the criminally insane perpetrators snuff out the lives of women and small children as if the act was part of a video game. Only the gods we purport to worship know whether the next victims will be Christian or Muslim.
There are many consequences of the shootings in Christchurch. One is a minor matter, but still enough to provoke me to write about it.
The Canterbury Crusaders have been in existence since 1996. The symbol chosen was that of a knight with a sword drawn over his right shoulder with a Christian cross on his chest, the symbol emblazoned on a shield. The image is unmistakeable and not unrepresentative of the vast majority of citizens in Christchurch, who profess that they follow a religion, Christianity.
Now there is a move to have Canterbury Crusaders change their name. It is still unclear who is pressing for it.
Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand's Premier, has made it very clear that she is not calling for a name change, nor are any of her cabinet. It is after all an irrelevancy given what has happened. So where is the pressure coming from? Well social media. What constitutes a Twitter storm these days? A dozen people? One hundred?
The movement demands that the name change come about because the name 'Crusaders' is offensive to Muslims and the connotations and implications would not sit right in the community.
After poring over articles and press releases, none showed any evidence of any research done on what actually happened in the crusades in the Middle Ages. If anyone did such research they would realise that Muslim people have no cause to be offended.
In the Council of Clermont in 1095, Pope Urban issued a clarion call to arms. Two-thirds of the old Christian world had been taken over by Muslim forces and "Christian culture had to defend its land or be subsumed". Most people's perception is that the crusaders took Jerusalem, but Muslim armies had control of the Holy Land long before the crusades were finished. The Muslim armies controlled the whole of the Iberian peninsula except for the Basque Country and in the 1600s were only a series of thunderstorms away from taking Vienna. The Muslims won the crusades/religious wars. There were atrocities on both sides.
Why would Muslims feel offended about the crusades when it was the Christians who came off second best? History is written by the winners, so how can there be such a misconception about what happened in the crusades? Quite apart from the 'offence' aspect of the name change conundrum, there is also an element of the tail wagging the dog here.
There are 46,000 Muslims living in New Zealand, just under one per cent of the population. To put that in perspective, a glance at the most recent census in New Zealand showed that 45 per cent of the population professed to be agnostic or atheist (they are all going to burn in hell apparently); 55,000 people in the census stated their religion as Jedi - yes from Star Wars.
Religion it seems is not something the Kiwis spend a whole lot of time following but they may be better exercised in how their country is governed and how democracy, real democracy, works in practice.
The horror of what happened in Christchurch will always remain and the fall-out and the way it gets played out is what we are left with. Already there is a petition in place in Christchurch with over 25,000 names on it to oppose any proposed name change. You are, I believe, in a democracy allowed to protest and express an opinion in public that reflects your views on a matter. Or maybe not . . .
The Crusaders have already canned the five 'knights' who rode around on horseback in AMI Stadium in their chain mail with swords and Christian cross shields as part of the match-day experience.
The issue of the name change has been dodged until the end of the season, when a special committee will consult with the Muslim community to see whether they think it is advisable to change the Crusaders' name to something else.
While they are at it why not change 'Christchurch' to something else?
The islands of New Zealand are in mourning - 50 of their citizens had their lives taken by a lunatic. The fall-out will continue for years. Changing the name of a sporting body will not solve anything and will, I feel, only inflame things further.
The only thing that is certain is that there will be more mass slaughters between the two cultures carried out by people or organisations that represent none of us and the people of that land have to deal with the consequences.
Nearly all will call such outrages terrorist attacks. Some, however, will see them differently. | {

Welcome to the Compatibility list! This list will help you find out if your game is compatible with PCSX2 and to what extent.
Minimum number of characters is 3!
Playable: You can get from 'new game' to 'end credits' (regardless of speed).
Ingame: You can get through menus, intro cutscenes / videos, and see ingame graphics, but either due to graphical bugs, crashes, un-resolved errors, you can't play through the entire game.
Menus: You can get into the menus, be it past 3D / video intro, memcard checks etc, but when starting a new game, it will lock up, crash, enter a loop etc.
Intro: The game will show 2D logos, or video, but will not get into menus. This could be one screen, or 20, but won't show much.
Nothing: Exactly what it says, this game crashes before showing any graphics, making any sound etc! | {

They are the material of legging, yet they're shorter and more popular.
Capreggings are not long enough to be pants and the material isn't exactly thick, but tons of girls at Carlmont continue to wear them.
Although they are very popular, many people agree with the fact that they're weird.
Most people wear them like yoga pants with a sweatshirt, but that's not always appropriate. The quality of the material can be poor, so they can be too see-through.
In the last few years, the adoration of yoga pants has steadily climbed as more and more girls chose to wear yoga pants.
Later, they might get even shorter and turn into yoga shorts, which are made, but not an article of clothing most girls wear, and especially not with winter approaching. These are getting less and less practical for the girls at Carlmont.
Next time ones sees someone wearing them around campus, remember they're actually just shorter leggings, and not a new fashion trend.

inedible unusual mushrooms Sometimes the strange form of mushrooms does not hint, but directly indicates that collecting them is at least pointless or even dangerous to health. Strange, albeit beautiful, forms or disgusting smell of the mushroom body - today we will talk about unusual mushrooms that are inedible and even poisonous. What are they and where they meet, which of them are simply tasteless, and who are easily poisoned? We offer to dwell in more detail and study the most bizarre types of mushrooms that do not represent nutritional value
Zollinger's many-faced clavaria
In the coniferous forests of Europe and Asia, mainly under the oaks or in the moss, a beautiful fungus Klavaria of zolinger grows, or the clavaria pale brown. It is also found in our area, particularly in Primorye, near Vladivostok, mushroom pickers have repeatedly seen the Klavaria in early autumn. It has a short grayish leg( no more than 8 mm), which is almost invisible, and in the upper part it starts to branch out at once, forming instead of a cap tall plump branches. It turns out like a bush, whose height can reach 15 cm, while the tubular twigs themselves also have lateral formations. If they are broken( and this is very easy to do, because the structure of the mushroom body is fragile), you can see the brownish flesh, which produces a weak but unpleasant smell of radish, for which the mushroom is referred to as inedible species.
Klavaria zolinger in some countries is considered a rare mushroom, and in the Chelyabinsk region is generally listed in the Red Book due to the massive deforestation, which is its habitat.
As for the color of such bushy mushrooms, it can be very diverse, preferring bright colors:
is snow white;
cream;
lilac;
orange;
pink;
For the original shape and color, the mushroom is often called coral.
Archer's awesome clathisseur
At a young age, Archer's clathisr look like a white egg lost by someone among the meadows or in mixed forests up to 6 cm in diameter.recipes).At first they are fused together, but then open up like a flower or a star. Inside the tentacles there are dark rare spots, while they themselves are slimy and smell bad, which, however, is very popular with small insects. The fungus has no legs, it is replaced by the lower whole part of the egg. For the unpleasant aroma and nasty taste of the fragile meat mushroom is considered inedible.
The peculiar form of the clathrus Archer gave him other names, such as the cuttlefish mushroom, Archer's tsvetochvostnik, Archer's treasurer. In the scientific literature it can still be found under the name Anthurus Archer.
Leaky mushroom clatus red
Much less often in the southern strip, where the climate is warm and mild, there is another kind of clathrus - red mushroom. Solar illumination does not play a special role for him, moreover, most often it is found in the dense shade of deciduous thickets. But without heat, the clathrus is not able to do without it - mycelium of the fungus will irrevocably die if the temperature drops below 5 degrees Celsius.

Young mushrooms resemble Archer's clathis and are also egg-shaped, painted in gray-white. As it "ripens," the egg turns red, and then the retina is broken, and the openwork petals with small pores become visible. Over time, the pores expand, forming large holes-cells, as in a lattice, because of which the fungus is also called a lattice red. On the edge of such cells is a tattered fringe. Instead of the clathrus stem, as usual, there are egg remains. It is simply impossible to confuse a mushroom with others: not only does it have an unusual shape and a bright red color, it also spreads the disgusting smell of rotting meat around itself, and you can hear it even at a distance of 15 m. However, the "scent" attracts flies andother small insects that spread spores throughout the forest.
Red Grate is not only unusual inedible, but also poisonous fungus.
Colorful multi-colored trametes
Among the polypores there is one very unusual mushroom, or rather, a mushroom with an unusual coloring - multi-colored trametes. Outwardly, it is quite common and known to all tinderboy with a fan-shaped fruit body growing on the trees. However, thin, silky and shiny caps are completely covered with circular curves, each of which is colored in its own color. Only the heart of the cap remains monotonous - it is often greenish, but the most extreme strip, at the edge, is always lighter than the others.
Retaining its shape and design, the trametes multi-colored can change color by playing with different colors.
Leathery pulp smells quite nice, but has a dense structure and does not represent any nutritional value. But in folk medicine this tinder is very well known and widely used for the treatment of cancer, especially in Japan and China.
For rainbow colors, trametes are also called turkey tails or whales, as well as pied. In the scientific literature, the names Coriolus are multicolored or multicolored.
For a detailed look at the variations of the color gamut of the trametes, see the photo below.

Neon Mycene
In the distant tropical forests of Australia, Asia, Japan and other countries with a warm and humid climate, on the remnants of trees in the rainy season, small mushrooms of chlorophos are attracted to the attention of the rainy season with soft green light.
Thin prostrate hats with a sticky peel emit a neon glow at night and scare tourists, creating a stunning and fantastic effect. The brightest light comes from mushrooms at high temperature( at least 27 degrees Celsius) and lasts up to three days. Data on the edibility of the fungus is not available today, but it is unlikely that you can eat it.
At the rest of the time, in daylight, the bioluminescent Mitzena looks quite ordinary and inconspicuous: the gray hat on a thin translucent stem is simple.
A nightmare in reality or Peck's hydnellum
That's who can be used for scenery horror films, so is Peck's hydonium mushroom. Because of its appearance, it is better known as the Devil's urchin, the tooth of the devil or the bleeding mushroom. A short short stalk with a height of no more than 3 cm smoothly turns into a cap, which is the main "decoration": up to 10 cm in diameter, it is white and velvet in young mushrooms, darkens with age until it turns brown. Pores are located over the entire surface of the hat, from which a scarlet-red liquid flows and freezes on it. Cork pulp is bitter, but at the same time emits a pleasant smell, reminiscent of strawberry.
Bleeding fungus takes the main food from the soil, but is also not averse to eat insects that flock to the nectar aroma and stick to it.
Another bright mushroom - blue
Inedible, but very beautiful blue mushrooms grow in India and New Zealand. Their fragile caps in the shape of a cone and thin high legs are painted in a sky-azure color, and some pigment, azulene, which is characteristic of sea bottom inhabitants, is responsible for this. The blue mushroom grows one by one, among moss and fern, beautifully standing out against a green background.

Rare mushroom Devil cigar
The scientific name of this mushroom( Chorioactis geaster) is not easy to pronounce, so everyone calls it a devil's cigar for its peculiar form. The young mushroom body is longitudinally elongated, almost even, with a torn surface, painted in brown color and really resembles a cigar. When the fungus is fully ripe, it opens with a loud hiss, scattering spores like ash. In this form, it already becomes a semblance of a star with 4-7 rays.
You can only meet the Devil's Cigar in Texas and in some places in Japan.
Bristly Scutelline Thyroid Mushroom
On decaying wood in small families, the Scutelline thyroid grows, an inedible mushroom. The orange-red concave caps, no larger than a coin in diameter at the edges, are decorated with long standing bristles. The flesh of the fungus is fragile, waxy structure.
In conclusion, I would like to say that this list of unusual mushrooms, inedible and poisonous, is far from complete. Strange specimens can be found both on the territory of our country and in other climatic zones, the climate of which leaves an imprint on their appearance and on their particular growth. Just remember that not everything beautiful can be touched and certainly not worth putting in your basket. It is better to be safe, to admire such mushrooms and pass by.

The Grub Street Essay
Anna Michelle
"The Giving Tree" is just as relevant, today, as it was when I was a kid. Maybe it's more relevant now that I'm an adult. Every time I hear it, it makes me ponder larger concepts about what giving, what taking, needing and loving mean. I give this book as a gift as often as I can. I believe "The Giving Tree" belongs in every home, for everybody to enjoy as she or he learns.
Published in 1964, "The Giving Tree" is the most distinguished, best-known book by Shel Silverstein. "Tree" appears in more than 30 languages and is a best-seller around the world. The story and illustrations are universal, equally enjoyed by children and adults globally.
Silverstein was a cartoonist and songwriter as well as an author. His first book was a collection of cartoons he drew for the military newspaper, "Pacific Stars and Stripes," during the Second World War; in 1957, Silverstein became a staff cartoonist at "Playboy." As a composer, he had his number one hits included "A Boy Named Sue," by Johnny Cash; "The Cover of Rolling Stone" and "Sylvia's Mother," by "Dr Hook and the Medicine Show"; "The Unicorn," by "The Irish Rovers."
"The Giving Tree" is about the relationship between a boy and a tree. The symbolism and nature of their relationship is widely disputed. As the boy grows, the boy requires the tree to give him everything the tree has, which the tree very happily obliges. The tree ultimately, in complete self-sacrifice, gives the boy its trunk when the boy is a grown man and wants to make a boat and sail away. When the boy is an old man, he returns and asks the tree for more. When the tree explains to him that it has nothing left, the tree offers the old man a place to sit and rest on its stump, thus making the tree extremely happy.
Some believe that the book symbolizes the true nature of love, requiring unconditional giving and self-sacrifice. Some say "The Giving Tree" is an example of an abusive relationship, as the boy continuously takes and takes from the tree leaving nothing left. Some interpret this tree as being an irresponsible parent creating an ill-equipped man later in his life. Some believe, as do I, that the tree, offering itself to the boy in pure love, is rewarded and shown reciprocation in the end when the boy returns to the tree as an old man and rests with the tree, symbolizing end-of-life in the need of the old man to sit and rest.
My take on the book is simple. I think "The Giving Tree" symbolizes life and how weak and feeble people are; how dependent we are on each other. At the same time, I see the beauty of the gracious and unrelenting giving that the tree offers, with not a shred of greediness. In a sense, the boy repays the tree, at the end of his life, in way only the tree can understand and this may be the essence of a true giver,
Nature comes full circle. I think this book describes it as a whole, in a general way, very well. Exceptionally well made, the youngest children grasp the point, if many adults do not.
Is this a sad book? It might be. Is it relevant? Yes, it's definitely relevant. The illustrations are simple, the reading is easy, and the concept is genius. This is a fantastic book for anyone, and everyone should read it.
"The Giving Tree," by Shel Silverstein (1930-1999), published by Harper Row in 1964.

The OpenStreetMap data base has lots of information that is not normally shown on the map (or recorded by your average mapper) but might by very relevant for humanitarian work. This project was about extracting such "special interest" data from OSM and making it available for processing with various tools.
Specifically, the aim was to create extracts from current (minutely updated) OSM data, where the area covered as well as the set of exported tags can be freely set for each export. The data is exported in a range of different formats (PBF, KML, Shapefile, SQLite).
The Frontend was built in Ruby on Rails. The export job is created with the help of a two-step wizard. First you select the area to export, and then you define the tags you're interested in. For this you can upload a JOSM preset file and have its tags extracted automatically.
Jobs can be re-used at will; the same job can be re-run unchanged to get a newer version of the same data, or it can be applied to a different area to request a comparable export of another region.
OSM data in the backend is updated continuously. When an export job comes in, we first extract all data in the relevant area, and then process it into geometry objects using an Osmium based program. Ogr2ogr is then used to produce the various output formats like KML, Shapefile, or sqlite. | {

Рера́йтинг () — обработка исходных текстовых материалов в целях их дальнейшего использования. В отличие от копирайтинга, за основу берётся уже написанный текст, который переписывается своими словами с сохранением смысла. Специалистов по лексическому изменению оригинальных текстов называют рерайтерами.
Рерайтинг используется, чтобы избежать обвинений в нарушении авторского права. Услуга востребована в связи с лавинообразным ростом в интернете числа новых сайтов и потребностью в наполнении контентом уже имеющихся. На так называемых биржах уникального контента (биржах рерайтинга), размещаются предложения работодателей фрилансерам, переписывающим тексты.
Основные приёмы и методы рерайтинга
Использование синонимов.
Перевод прямой речи в косвенную (и наоборот).
Перемещение и выделение абзацев.
Замена целых фраз и словосочетаний на параллельные конструкции.
Упрощение текста путём удаления или перемещения отдельных слов и словосочетаний, не несущих смысловую нагрузку, а также любые другие изменения грамматического строя предложений.
Переписывание по памяти.
Переписанный текст обладает тем же или меньшим объёмом оригинальной статьи при условии сохранения изначального смыслового содержания, но также может содержать отдельно вынесенные комментарии экспертов.
Наиболее продуктивным способом рерайтинга является замена частей речи в комбинации с использованием слов-синонимов.
Функции рерайтинга
Рерайтинг востребован:
при передаче сообщений информационных агентств средствами массовой информации.
при подготовке оригинальных текстов для нужд интернета с целью поддержки новостного блока и поисковой оптимизации (SEO).
Профессиональный рерайтер способен упростить информативную часть сложного текста без потери его ключевого смысла.

Elmhurst Hospital unveils community mural honoring neighborhood unity during COVID-19
By QNS News Team Posted on November 18, 2020
Photo by Dean Moses
A community-based mural, designed to offer a space for emotional healing from COVID-19, was unveiled inside of NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst on Monday, Nov. 16.
The mural by artist Luis Fernando Lechon was one of 10 community murals unveiled at the citywide hospital system this year. By the end of 2020, the murals will mark the largest public art program since the 1930s.
The Elmhurst mural was created with input from hospital staff, patients and the surrounding community. Focus groups were held to decide the themes of the mural.
"This experience was very special because we worked as a team to make the design come true. I want to thank all the hospital staff and patients who helped fill the mural with color and love," Fernando Lechón said.
With "Elmhurst Strong" written in the middle of the mural, the rest of the display showcases the diversity, inclusivity and multicultural nature of the western Queens neighborhood.
The neighborhood was one of the hardest hit by COVID-19 during the virus's first wave in New York City.
See photos of the unveiling below.

The project I created is based on the concept of the golden ratio (often called the golden section). In mathematics and the arts two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. This geometric relationship is represented by the Greek letter "phi". Its value is 1,6180339887… and is irrational number. Golden ration was already known and commonly used in the ancient times; also many other later artists and architects proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio. It was believed to be aesthetically pleasing and harmonious.
Many scholars believed that the golden ratio was also used in all the aspects of the reality. Consequently, one of the most popular representations of a shell is the Fibonnacci spiral (golden spiral). Even in 2008 a group of neurobiologists confirmed experiments carried out by Volkmar and Harald Weiss that the golden ratio is the coding principle of the brain waves.
For ages the Golden ratio has been a source of inspiration, provocative and intriguing source for discussions. I also could not be indifferent to it, therefore the golden ratio became an inspiration to create a triptych in a form of portraits which took on experimental form.
First picture presents a face as it is in the reality; the middle part is a transitive stage; third part is a result of changes of the face which took place after the golden ratio was applied. | {

Losing them would have a big impact on other fish populations and, ultimately, human livelihoods.
"They have very few relatives on the tree of life, so they are very unique and losing them will actually represent a big, big loss," said Fran Cabada.
The assessment found fishing, both targeted and accidental, was to blame for the steep decline in many of these populations, together with habitat loss due to coastal development, degradation of mangrove forests, water pollution and trawling.
"The Edge sharks and rays list comprises some of the most interesting and unique fish we have on this planet," said Dr Matthew Gollock, of ZSL.
This ray ranks first on the list. It is at risk from unsustainable fishing and being unintentionally caught in nets. The largetooth sawfish's most distinctive feature is its snout (rostrum) lined with sharp teeth to slash its prey. Cowboy boots were once made from sawfish skin.
This ray can produce an electric shock, which it uses to stun its prey. The fish hide in sand or mud during the day and forage for worms and other small prey at night.
This shark changes in appearance over its lifetime. The young are born with zebra stripes, which change to spots as they get older. It lives on the sea floor, and has a lifespan of 25 to 35 years.
The biggest fish in the sea, reaching up to 20m (65ft) in length, it is a filter feeder, relying on plankton and small fishes to survive.
The basking shark is the second largest species of shark (and fish) in the world behind the enormous whale shark. | {

Kane Strang releases new video
Kane Strang has unveiled the official video for his new single, "Oh So You're Off I See". The video was filmed over the span of a day in Central Otago in Strang's home country of New Zealand. The location was chosen for its natural environment and large, industrial man-made structures. It shares the same contrasting elements as the video. Different colours and cuts of glass were used to create a distorted effect that, when combined with the surrounding landscape, achieved a strange, moving collage. Additional performance footage was shot the night before at the band's practice space in Dunedin, the Attic.
"Oh So You're Off I See" is the first single from Strang's forthcoming album set for release later this year through Dead Oceans. Strang has moved away from the bedroom and into the studio, taking a more collaborative approach to recording and writing with his band. The four-piece twists Strang's melodies and accentuates his hooks.
Strang's North American tour kicks off this Friday, March 3rd at Baby's All Right in Brooklyn and takes him to Savannah Stopover, SXSW, Treefort, and more. Strang's initial SXSW schedule has also been announced. These are his first shows ever outside of New Zealand. A full list of dates is below.

Born July 3, 1924, in Vernon, BC, passed away quietly Feb 13, 2009 at Peace Arch Hospital. Edna moved to Vancouver in 1943, married Ted Wickham in 1946 and spent time in Bridgeview before building a house in White Rock where they lived and raised their two children. In her final years, Edna enjoyed living at the farm in Langley. Edna was predeceased by her loving husband in 1980, and more recently her son Murray in Jan 2009. Edna will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Nancy (Folsom) and family, Glen, Kyle & Nathan and grandchildren Tiffany, Ben, Emma & Michael and her most recent joy, great-grandchild Colton. Fondly remembering Edna are also many friends and relatives and Hockey has lost one of its biggest and most loyal fans. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canuck Place or Variety Club.
A memorial open house will be on Sunday Feb 22, 2009, 2:00pm at the farm 22516 – 8th Ave, Langley. | {

Which valuation metric is better: the PEG ratio or the P/E ratio?
Before we answer that question, let's first start with some basics.
Essentially, this tells you how much an investor is willing to pay for each unit (year) of earnings. If a stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 30, it is said to be trading at 30x times its annual earnings.
Conventional wisdom says a value of 1 or less is considered good (at par or undervalued to its growth rate), while a value of greater than 1, in general, is not as good (overvalued to its growth rate).
Let's take a look at both of these in action.
For example: a company with a P/E Ratio of 25 and a Growth Rate of 20% would have a PEG ratio of 1.25 (25 / 20= 1.25).
While a company with a P/E Ratio of 40 and a Growth Rate of 50% would have a PEG Ratio of 0.80 (40 / 50= 0.80).
Traditionally, investors would look at the stock with the lower P/E ratio and deem it a bargain (undervalued). But looking at it closer, you can see it doesn't have the growth rate to justify its P/E.
The stock with the P/E of 40, however, is actually the better bargain since its PEG ratio is lower (0.80) and is trading at a discount to its growth rate.
In other words, the lower the PEG ratio, the better the value. That's because the investor would be paying less for each unit of earnings growth.
They both have their usefulness. I do like how the PEG positions the P/E ratio in relation to its growth rate to put everything into perspective.
Quite frankly, I use both, so I'm going to say it's a tie. Plus, you couldn't even create the PEG ratio without the P/E.
But, you don't have to choose one or the other. You can use both. And that's how we're using it in this week's screen.
This screen will find stocks with market beating growth rates, yet still be considered undervalued on two of the most effective valuation markers. And of course, with the Zacks Rank added to it, each one of these picks will be experiencing upward earnings estimate revisions, which provides a timely catalyst for the stock to move.

Happy Belated Friday! I've already got Monday's comic underway, shouldn't be a delay.
The issue of GPS tags for child safety is something I am going to invoke "character opinions are not necessarily those of the author" for. I feel attaching your kid to a GPS beacon is a personal decision that should be made one on one, but if my google-fu on the issue holds water, GPS implants are more of a sci-fi thing than reality. In real life you would also have to implant a battery into your child for the chip to work. GPS-tagged bracelets are a more realistic approach.
When I was first drafting Mina, I wanted to make sure I got an authentic name, so I turned to Wikipedia for name ideas. I settled on a combination of real-world writers/human rights advocates Mina Assadi and Mahnaz Afkhami. I turned to the same list today for a name for Mina's daughter (Who I don't THINK I've named yet, but if I have I'm retconning it. XD), and chose to name her after Goli Ameri, President for the Center for Global Engagement.
They look kinda cute talking together like that. Very relaxed. Makes me feel a bit sorry for when "A few minutes earlier" turns into "Present…" as this is not gonna be very great. Also, just noticed Mina's purse. Awesome.
RFID tags are local, and read-only… they can't be accessed or pinpointed outside of a hundred yards for the best ones, and are actually more functional as a card a kid (or employee) would keep in a wallet, with a system that pings them constantly to know where they are (which could cost infrastructure). RFID is not GPS, nor do we have a capability for permanent implanted GPS tags at this point (though there's wireless-recharge tech that could allow it to be recharged while implanted, it's a *ton* of effort for something that is nearly non-functional, so I'm calling that non-viable… though it's possible. My aural implant (wireless bluetooth headset, effectively) is recharged that way… but it's just a prototype, and not approved as a medical device).
I actually have two implanted RFID tags: a coil tag (similar to what's in the cards), in my thigh, and a "chip" tag in my hand (the small one people freak out about). The one in my hand is mostly used as a "sign in" for my wearable and my front door lock (no handle, just a mag-lock… my chip works, and my gf's phone has NFC that does the same thing). The one in my leg is for various systems that use it, like a handful of metro-cards around the world, or similar.
Get the kid a Cellphone, and they'll have GPS. Teach them to use the tech and you don't even need to spy on them; You could just ping the phone to see where they are. Bonus points you could just call and ask and see what's up. A lot of kids should be learning to use their tech and how it works anyway: wearables have existed for years, but many don't know about them or can't use them because they have been taught an obsolete skill set in schools.
RFID chips could be useful as IDs, depending on the views on privacy. There's a world of things the implants *can* be used for, or similar implants could be used for, but anyone pushing this idea at this stage is probably misinformed and/or stands to profit from it.
Also, I'm very happy I get to share my expertise… it's not every day that Cybernetics is something that I can use in conversation, so please forgive me if I'm verbose.
Verbose away! I did some light googleing on the subject, but some first-hand info is always good.
That is some seriously interesting stuff.
I can tell exactly where my kids are by pinging their iPhones. These days it's not far-fetched for kids to have them as young as 8 or 10, depending on the situation. My daughter was probably one of the last ones in her class to get one when she got hers when she started high school.
Running even a single channel GPS isn't feasible without a battery– you really can't do one even on a wristband without having to charge the thing every day– and it doesn't work very well inside either, because GPS doesn't penetrate walls very well.
That doesn't even bring up the fact that even if you could DO a bracelet or something that can pick up GPS satellites and figure out where it is, you now have to get that information OFF the device if the parent is going to find it useful– so that bracelet now needs some kind of cellular or other network radio. More battery, and now you get monthly fees.
Much easier just to give 'em an old hand-me-down iPhone 3GS and set the settings so the location awareness can't be turned off.
Pretty much what I was thinking. Get them used to being tracked everywhere they go at a young age, so when folks insist they be tracked everywhere they go as adults they think "Meh, this is normal".
If people wanted privacy they wouldn't use Facebook.
Public privacy is sadly coming to an end and the people that claim to want it most are trying to kill it as quickly as possible.
Oh, please think very hard about that. I don't want to start homeschool wars here, I really don't, but please please please consider if you are qualified to teach math (through Algebra II at a minimum, but better if Calculus I), biology, chemistry, physics, history (both American and world), geography, literature, writing, scientific writing, art, music, computer programming, health, and speech/debate. Knowledge of child psychology and pedagogy would be really helpful too.
Most people simply aren't qualified to homeschool.
I think they make textbooks and pre-fab curriculums specifically for homeschooling, don't they? So even if Parent X is not certified to teach they can utilize materials from people who are to home-school.
I could be wrong about that though, just speaking off-the-cuff.
There are some home schooling systems that are amazing! I have seen what students enrolled in CaLiva get: A computer, printer, new textbooks, geology kits, lab kits, field trips, frequent contact with online teachers, meetings via phone and in person, etc… It makes me wish that I was homeschooled until high school!
"Most people simply aren't qualified to homeschool" is a statement you have to back up; you can't just claim it.
I know a few people (even relatives) who I would say aren't capable of homeschooling their own kids… if they chose to do it by themselves, which isn't by any means the only option. Effective homeschooling means taking control of the education of your children and making informed decisions about how to best educate them. Almost any parent can do that – we've just gotten used to the idea that the government does it for us.
You don't have to know the material. You have to know how to locate resources. Sometimes that's textbooks, but other times it's websites like Khan Academy (math from beginner through calculus and beyond), and other times it's friends, family, and people in the community who can share their expertise. You can even add occasional classes, sometimes at well above the level they'd get in school.
Homeschooling has a proven track record with higher test scores than public-school kids. Before I got to college, I was concerned about the transition, but I held down a 3.91 GPA over six years and graduated with two degrees. Homeschooling instilled in me a love of learning that I rarely see in public-school kids (and that makes me sad).
And the parents who raised me at home? My mom's only now attending college (after me). My dad had bad grades in school and even now has to ask me how to spell stuff (his shopping lists are amusing). You DO NOT NEED to be a genius to school your kids at home.
Half those subjects are irrelevant.
Teach a kid maths and the sciences and they can figure out the other crap for themselves.
These days you could probably just sit them down in front of Wikipedia and tell them to do a Wiki-crawl for 6 hours, and they'll pick up useful knowledge from it… as long as they're taught to treat everything with a bit of scepticism.
Isn't anyone going to ask what that strange picture is in the background of panel 2? Is that a rose wrapped around a sword, with a sun crying blood tears thrown in for good measure? "Spring is here?" That's not the kind of pictures they have in my office! NO FAIR!
Ah! That makes sense. Not watching that show is really making my life difficult.
I know I said this before but those two are really getting along well. Mark my words – a 'ship is in the works.
DAVE! TRUNCHBULLS, REALLY? I'M LAUGHING SO HARD, MY DAD'S WORRIED.
Ugh, I would never GPS-anything my kids. Abduction by strangers is extremely rare in America, and I don't feel like GPS-ing my kids for the highly off chance I'll need it is worth all of the cons (getting used to being tracked, government being able to use it, etc.).
I think ANY amount of abduction is too much, but I don't think that's the whole reason. Its probably more just to keep track of kids committing vandalism or other small crimes. If that Trunchbull family is anything like the character it was inspired from, I bet their home is a prime target on mischief night.
Of course any amount of abduction is too much, I wasn't saying it was no big deal. I was saying it's not common enough for me to tag my kids.
Is it just me or would those two make a great couple?
It's not just you, I see it too.
I wonder how Selkie would feel about it XD.
A new mom to help out dad?
At any rate, it'd take in loco parentis to a whole new level.
First time posting, but long time reader.
One thing I absolutely have to say – retcon, is that a Torchwood reference?!? Because, I just have to say, that makes you even more awesome!
And I would have to agree with Todd + Mina shippers.
But sadly, no it is not meant as a Torchwood shout-out. "Retcon" stands for "Retroactive Continuity", and (I believe) originates from American comic books. It's anything that takes an established event or character and alters/re-writes it to fit into a new story.
It's a reference to Matilda right? Which is cool, because that's a story about a girl about Selkie's age. That's an even cooler reference than Dr Who.
Definitely not a fan of these two becoming a couple.
Man, I read down the comments for a while, and I was kinda worried that no one would get the Matilda reference!
Parents: spend a few hundred dollars on GPS tracking for kids.
Kids: spend a few cents defeating it with aluminum foil.
So I am re-reading through the archives here. Did you know a lot of schools have this thing now where students have to carry a student ID and they have GPS chips in them that allow the school to track them?
Laser-beam eyes? Was that intentional foreshadowing? | {

Bristle Worm - What's That Bug?
Your letter to the bugman: Found on the beach, November 9, 2018. Was in shallow sea water.
We have an image in our archives also from Oregon that we previously tentatively identified as a Marine Worm in the genus Glycera, and this image from APhotoMarine supports that identification.
It's a bristle worm, they live in marine live rock. Some have a nasty sting from the bristle hairs on there side.
Thanks for that tip. We will search for a link. | {

Grammatical Mutterings
Topic: Grammatical Mutterings (Read 37002 times)
Barulheira
I love short remarks.
It's simply a neuter indeterminate pronoun. A construction like "The girl went shopping. It came home with a new hat."* is quite ordinary. "She came home..." would be ungrammatical in this context.
You are most probably right, and I must be fairly outdated in German grammar. I didn't know about such usages of "es". For me, "Es regnet" was the most representative usage of it. Thanks, anyway.
Re: Grammatical Mutterings
I also had some issues asking for Sprudelwasser at this one restaurant. I wasn't then aware that the term in the south was Tafelwasser, but that hardly seems like a reason to immediately start speaking English to me.
Sprudelwasser means Sodawasser.
Tafelwasser means potable water enriched with some ingredients.
Mineralwasser means mineral water.
In this case I have some understanding for the waiter/waitress. Since he/she has noticed that you aren't a native he/she wonted to make sure, you get the right drink. Hope, you got it at last
I don't really care as long as it's water and it's free of pathogens.
(I suppose I care in some places. In Luxembourg and some places in Germany the tap water easily equals the best mineral water; in a Dutch expert taste test apparently Rotterdam tap water beat all other water including bottled mineral water. But on the other hand, in France, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan all the tap water tastes odd to me. I don't know what they do with it.)
To vote - proceed with the link in my signature.:)
I studied linguistics at the university and one of the professors was fairly straightforward: "We call them language/family trees but they aren't really. They are more like shrubs or bushes."
Did your professor study math? The tree is a topological type of a graph.
Other related terms are substratum and superstratum in language contact theory.
Yes, they are related terms but not terms expressing things on the same level.
THE OTHER smilies; the radio poll.
Dutch is still the language most closely related to English by various measures.
What I have heard (actually read in encyclopedias), it's Frisian that is most closely related to English. But this is irrelevant in several ways. The languages in that corner of the continent are necessarily closely related. Moreover, English is a lingua franca, i.e. a global communication tool pliable hither and thither rather than a fixed symbol system, a distinctive marker of (self-)identity for a specific group/location. The latter is how I prefer to define (proper/real/true) language. Lingua franca is related to everything and everybody, nothing special about it.
These two points...
Their mutual intelligibility is so fluent that they could be considered dialects. Saxon, Franconian, and (High) German have a common present.
That's what the Nazis said.
I saw a South-African lamenting that if the Dutch hadn't disavowed Afrikaans on account of apartheid
...nicely illustrate how the distinction between dialect and language is political rather than linguistic. Science is politically neutral, even though it can be used politically, and often is.
By the way, my two sentences, as you quoted them, did not belong together. "Their mutual intelligibility is so fluent that they could be considered dialects" referred to the Scandinavian languages. With "Saxon, Franconian, and (High) German" I began next thought that I probably should have marked by beginning a separate paragraph.
Quote from: Josh on 2014-01-03, 13:15:28
He studied literature, so he saw in the term "language tree" a poetic metaphor rather than a math concept.
This is basic in the structuralist principle of analysis to provide a multidimensional view of what we are talking about.
Moreover, English is a lingua franca...
This franca falls into a set of francas: Franca Americana, Franca Europeana, etc.
What I have heard (actually read in encyclopedias), it's Frisian that is most closely related to English.
It's more closely related to the language of their Saxon neighbors who moved across the North Sea, but the North Sea trade took place primarily between Holland, Zeeland, and Flanders on this side and England on the other. It has even been suggested that the most famous old Dutch literary phrase is actually Old English rather than Old Flemish, which is rather unlikely for extralingual reasons, but it does illustrate how the distinction between Old Dutch and Old English can be far from obvious after several centuries of North Sea trade. At the same time, Frisian has been heavily influenced by Dutch after losing significantly in worldly power and status especially since West-Frisia was annexed by Holland in 1297. However, there are certainly dialects of English which may be significantly more similar to Frisian; I understand Northumbrian is one of them. Incidentally, I'm from West-Frisia. What's spoken there are Hollandic dialects with a Frisian substrate.
Some similarities between Frisian and English are extremely obvious, for instance:
Dutch: kaas
German: Käse
Frisian: tsjiis
English: cheese
That brings to mind the Frisian equivalent of schild en vriend: "Bûter, brea en griene tsiis" (Butter, bread, and green cheese. See here.)
Anyway, I can't seem to find the research. It was published no more than two or three years ago. I think the comparison focused on Dutch, German, and the Scandinavian languages, but I'm not completely sure.
It was also political prior to then to call it Nederlands in spite of the fact that Afrikaans is more of a creole. However, the political decision shaped the language in the sense that it might've moved closer to standardized Dutch again if relations had remained well. I don't know if you've heard of Schneider's dynamic model? The point in time where they decided to call it Afrikaans instead of Dutch in many ways concludes phase 4.
Nevertheless, Dutch is an official language in the Union of South American Nations
What is this? A typo?
Quote from: Barulheira on 2014-01-03, 17:03:00
Hardly. Surinamese Dutch is one of the four major varieties of Dutch: Netherlandic Dutch, Belgian Dutch, Caribbean Dutch, and Surinamese Dutch. Although I seem to have been slightly mistaken about the status of English:
The official languages of the Union of South American Nations shall be Spanish, English, Portuguese and Dutch.
However, it might be that English is not actually an official language in any of the individual member states. I'll have to check up on that.
Interesting. I've never heard about that.
In Guiana they speak English.
Good point. Guyana is probably why English is an official language too.
I would expect the German case system to be greatly simplified if not to disappear all together, like has happened to other Germanic languages.
Yes, me too.
Grrrr
Haha, I'm sorry. It's just something that seems to be a global rule, observed in the evolution of languages all around the world. But there's no need to worry; there's a hypothesis that languages will start the whole process all over again once they reach the "end."
Agreed. I used the Perl motto to describe this in an earlier posting.
Quote from: jax
Quote from: rjhowie
I found it amusing having been involved in the Educational field for years when an English teacher in Glasgow bemoaned to me once that no matter how much time he spent on the language as soon as the pupils were out at 3.30pm they just reverted back to their working class Glaswegian lingo.
I think this one post more than any condenses the future of English (or any other language or dialect).
Languages change constantly, and it is primary the children who change it. The adults can add a nifty phrase here and there, or analyse the language to make up rules that governs it, but the dramatic or subtle language shifts that garners from one generation from the next are largely caused by the new custodians, children and young adults.
<a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2510212">I have appropriated the Perl virtues[/url], laziness, impatience, and hubris, as the drivers of natural languages as well. Laziness is a major cause of sound shifts, the new sounds are less energy consuming than the old ones, it is easier to say dis than this. Impatience efficiently shortens language, while hubris is the drive to do better, resulting in the construction of more elaborate linguistic structures. The impatience-hubris engine is powerful and social, you deemphasise what unimportant to you and the listener, and emphasise what is important. As the culture changes so does the language, as the language changes so does the culture.
The amount of creativity stirred into the language is staggering. We spend an immense effort in creating new words and phrases or reappropriating old ones, and we take joy from that. Just look at any medium-length thread on D&D and you will find this in action. It is even more satisfying when others take up on our creations, but most are one-use, or short-use that fads away.
Seen from the language more important than the constant creations is how and from whom we monkey our words. We pattern all our speech on others. Early on that would be the parents and the background chatter, later our peers, especially those we would like to emulate, the teachers, the writers, the television, the future employers and authority figures, the Internet. We are capable not only of learning one or more languages, but keep track of the status of those speaking it and how they speak it.
The Glaswegian children can speak one variant at school and another one after school. They will even adjust to an individual speaker or group and what they want to achieve. Later on in life they will discard some part of their language as childish, other parts as low-status, and other parts as too difficult for their new peer groups. What parts they have discarded or discounted by the time they become parents themselves determine how the language evolves.
When school's over for good, will they speak Glaswegian or RP or a mix? Glaswegian like Singlish or Nigerian Pidgin have traditionally been low-status with "proper" English the high-status language. This quest for status has driven British English pronunciation to exaggerate high-status features, as you can see by comparing it with high-status English a couple centuries back. On the opposing side language is also part of identify. By speaking Glaswegian you announce to the world that you come from Glasgow or aspire to come from Glasgow. Then comes television as the great leveller. Glaswegian is one of the British dialects that do best, most British languages and dialects have died out or become greatly reduced, but it, like the other survivors, is becoming more standardised and less unique.
That link in turn is relevant to the case system. The -s at the end of nouns denoting ownership is straightforward Germanic genitive, a remnant from the case system that seems to have no inclination to go away anywhere, but the English added a spurious apostrophe to it, "the father's son" or "the son's father" instead of the more sensible "the fathers son" and "the sons father". What is more that useless apostrophe seems to be spreading to other languages, including German.
Quote from: Leviticus 20.20
Wenn jemand bei seines Vaters Bruders Weibe schläft, ...
'If someone sleeps with his father's brother's wife,...'
That reminds me of another property of English, <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2449461">excessive use of apostrophes[/url]. Apostrophes, remember, is primarily used for contraction in English. The English cognate of Vaters (pronounced "fater" for those who don't know German) is father's and brother's is of Bruders. So where does this strange apostrophe in 's come from? It seems that a phenomenon called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_genitive">his genitive[/url] made grammarians think that -(e)s was a contraction.
That in turn caused the endless confusion of its and it's, since by the seeming genitive rule its should be it's, but it's not. By the gods of usability the apostrophe should be among the first against the wall when English 2.0 comes. Its a difference that doesnt make a difference. Unfortunately the gods dont seem to hear my vocative.
On the contrary it seeps into other language. The Norwegian father and brother is far and bror (an archaic form is fader and broder so again the difference isn't too large), and from that the genitive fars and brors is formed. Undue influence from English makes some write far's or bror's instead, or more commonly form it with names, Vinnie's kebab style. German has its case system mostly intact, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same phenomenon happens in German.
All languages seem to follow the path of the Perl language: <a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?LazinessImpatienceHubris">laziness, impatience, and hubris[/url]. Laziness and impatience simplifies the language, and hubris, or ornamentation, makes it more complex.
Quote from: Jaybro
In The Blank Slate, Stephen Pinker, following others, posits that knowledge grows at least in part along lines of latitude because similar latitudes support important technologies, the growth of agriculture and animal husbandry being two.
In the gossip category, I heard on the radio that he just got an honorary doctorate at the <a href="http://uit.no/castl/pinker/">University of Tromsø[/url].
Quote from: Shandra
Does only a small amount of Translators or Traders developed a little knowledge of the other language(s), and/or was there also some influence. And if, to what degree and in what context? As it seem there are just few or little adoptions from arabic languages to western europe ones, even if there must have been much interaction before and during the middle-ages.
Traders alone don't change language. You don't even need language to trade, trade gestures have been sufficient to show intent and handle haggling. Even today you when you get to places where you are unable to speak the language, you can be sure that this little detail won't prevent people from trying to make a sale. But trade gives incentive for other cultural contact. Spain and Spanish is heavily influenced by Arabic culture and language, and to some extent it goes further up Europe. A Buddha statuette was found <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helgö">in Sweden[/url] from the 6th century, before Islam, and just a few days ago, while I was there, they found <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7330540.stm">yet another Arab hoard[/url].
What seems clear about numeration is that it comes as needed. Where it isn't needed, as with the group mentioned by Oakdale, it doesn't come at all. My early understanding about the Aborigines of Australia is that they had no conception of linear time. Is that even imaginable in the development of Western thinking?
There's nothing hardwired about 'three.' Grammar may be wired, but words? Where some words seem to possess that quality, I think other explanations suffice.
No, there is nothing hardwired about the word three, but I wonder what it meant before it was reused to refer to the pure abstraction three. What was the original threesome? In English it would be tempting to think of tree, even more so in Norwegian where the "th" sound has been simplified into "t" so there is no difference between three and tree (the word for both is tre), but this is a false cognate. Colours by comparison are pretty simple, almost all words originally denoted something having that particular color. What had threeness, fourness, fiveity?
You don't need a word to have a concept, but you need a concept to have a word. <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2233459">My claim[/url] is that not only humans but many other animals have the concept of three, and these animals have no way of expressing it in words.
If all words have a concrete, physical, meaning that if you trace them far enough back, you can end up with a fairly minimal vocabulary. <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=2472388">Guy Deutscher[/url] speculated that a language based on little more than pointing and a few fundamentals like the body would be sufficient.
Laziness and impatience simplifies the language, and hubris, or ornamentation, makes it more complex.
Not just hubris, but also actual need of communication demands a certain minimal level of relevant distinctions. Language is for conveying a message after all. If laziness and impatience were everything, then language would be reduced to one single sound which is incapable of conveying anything. But this is not the case. Where some distinctions are levelled due to laziness or haste, other distinctions crop up elsewhere in the word/sentence to compensate, and this principle of serving a purpose is as relevant as the principle of minimal effort. The conjunction of these principles produces a tender level of efficiency that is constantly changing due to the tendency of less effort on one hand and due to inevitable need to convey relevant messages about the ever-changing world on the other.
Not just hubris, but also actual need of communication demands a certain minimal level of relevant distinctions. Language is for conveying a message after all.
I have become increasingly convinced that language was never developed as a tool for conveying precise messages. Of course language is a very versatile means of communication, but it is not something an engineer would come up with. He would make something closer to a computer language instead. Natural languages go way beyond that.
One case is the cliché, writers and readers abhor them, but from a functional communication perspective they are great. When something is working well, why not repeat it, again and again and again? You know them, the audience know them, no scope for confusion. Instead we spend considerable effort coming up with synonyms and alternative phrasing, greatly increasing the risk of error.
The answer to this is simple - everybody needs language, but hardly anyone is engineer. People come up with different terms for the same thing, and this must be allowed. A computer language may be precise according to your definition, but it would also be too limited, whereas natural languages handle with ease all the imaginable and even unimaginable complexities of real life. So, endless ways of expressing the same thing are not redundant after all, but rather necessary and inevitable.
Versatility is not the argument why language is over-engineered for the simple task of getting a message across. Language is as much concerned with style and flair, how we speak, as with telling things, what we speak about. Merely telling things is easy and and could use a much simpler system than natural languages.
Quote from: OakdaleFTL
For instance: I neglected to mention that I followed your link to Guy Deutscher's book's ad; and that -even if I disagreed with every "theoretical" point he makes (I've not read it, yet)- I'd recommend it to everyone, for its wit and charm and the wealth of "language experience" and, yes, oddities and freaks as well as commonplace and "regular" examples...interesting, all. He gives enough there to make one wish it were umpty-times as long; a mere 368 pages would only whet my appetite for more of the same.
Yes, I've taken a lot from The Unfolding of Language in this thread, including the thread title itself. Language is deeply fascinating, and closely related to who we are and what we think and how we share, but still most linguists manage to turn the field barren. You would have thought that people that devote their lives to the study of languages should have acquired the ability to write somewhere along the way.
Much of the book is fairly uncontroversial, he largely keeps away from the most heavily fought battles among linguists, though he builds up to some speculation on early language, but still well after it has become a language in most modern senses. There are many speculations on how language itself came to be.
Quote from: Investor
I believe that language must have been quite developed before leaving safe home, as exploration requires planning, courage and confidence, which needs to be convinsingly communicated and understood.
The idea that language came to be to serve practical problem solving and communication needs is not popular these days. For that purpose language seems vastly overengineered. Other species have similar needs and have gotten away with much simpler and much cheaper systems. On the other hand having language skills has improved our problem solving skills immensely.
Another theory is that language was sexually selected, that language is our peacock's tail. Geoffrey Miller is arguing this case. The earnest sweet-talker gets the child, and people get in power through language skills. It is a persuasive case, though I have a hard time believing that grammarians get laid more often than others.
Deutscher has written a defence of clichés, and I find it interesting that they need defending. If language were purely utilitarian, clichés would be considered a good, they express ideas more parsimoniously than novel expressions.
Quote from: fanfaron
Anyway, I'd say language is a feminine invention.
I guess you by that refer to the gossip theory, that language isn't just an entertainment device, but a tool to get power and influence over your fellow man and particularly your fellow woman. The ensuing mental arms race would caused a rapid growth in language skills. This is the more popular theory, or so I have been told.
The idea that language came to be to serve practical problem solving and communication needs is not popular these days. For that purpose language seems vastly overengineered.
Clearly, this looks this way only when your thinking is overly engineerial itself. Problem-solving is not practical in the mechanistic sense. In the mechanistic sense it's only practical to let things be. As some wise dude said: Work pays off on payday, laziness pays off now.
Problem-solving, when understood correctly, is entirely sufficient prerequisite for language. The correct understanding of problem-solving does not entail just any actual problem here and now, but all possible and thinkable problems any time anywhere. When problem-solving is understood this way, and it's also understood that this is what language is supposed to cover, the nature of language also becomes clear.
Computer languages are too limited for problem-solving understood as I described. When new bigger problems arise or a new angle to computational problem-solving is discovered, hackers usually create a new language to deal with it, whereas natural languages are immediately usable or readily extensible to handle any new situation.
We can device, have deviced, much simpler languages that are more than sufficient for any form of problem-solving. However they never last long. Because they are insufficient to solve problems? No, even the simplest language can be extended as needed. They never last because they are boring.
Somehow the imperative "don't be boring" beats "let me get this point across" in the human mind. This is the hubris speaking. There is no functional reason why boring should be bad, for precision or problem solving boring is good, but language is more than mere functionality. It expresses who we are, or who we want to be.
Somehow the imperative "don't be boring" beats "let me get this point across" in the human mind. This is the hubris speaking.
Yeah, I see your point now. See how much repetition it took. And still, "don't be boring" can be seen from problem-solving point of view also: When there's nothing to solve, we conjure up problems just for fun. I personally am a broadly problem-solving person. Everything is a problem, and I don't mean it in a bad way. Solving problems is my style of entertainment.
[Language] expresses who we are, or who we want to be.
Right. I said that before.
I know I'm boring.
We can device, have deviced...
The verb is "to devise". | {

Now that you have your Wholesaler Business Plan Template from Wholesaler Masterminds®, you need to make certain that all of the goals you set are S.M.A.R.T..
Specific – A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal.
EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Increase the number of sellers in my region".
Measurable – Establish concrete criteria for tracking progress toward the attainment of each goal you set.
When you measure your progress, you have a far better opportunity to stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the satisfaction of achievement that motivates you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.
Example: In order to reach the Specific target of 14 new one million dollar producers, I know that I can Measure the progress of YTD production each month in pursuit of the ultimate goal.
Attainable – When you identify goals within reason that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true.
Conversely, if you set goals which are too far out of your reach, you probably won't commit to doing the things necessary to achieving them.
Although you may start with the best of intentions, the knowledge that it's too much for you means your subconscious will keep reminding you of this fact and will stop you from even giving it your best.
Example: Moving from 8 million dollar producers to 25 is more than likely not Attainable.
Moving from 8 to 14 likely is.
A goal can be big and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how lofty your goal should be.
But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress.
It means that the learning curve is not a vertical slope; that the skills needed to do the work are present and/or available.
Example: Going from 8 one million dollar producers to 14 is realistic. Going from 8 to 25 likely is not – unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as a new firm signed on in the region.
Time-Bound – A goal should be grounded within an identifiable and realistic time frame.
With no time frame tied to the goal there's no sense of urgency.
Example: "Increase the number of one million dollar producers from 8 to 12" isn't time bound.
"Increase the number of one million dollar producers from 8 to 12 by the end of the 3rd quarter" is time-bound.
And you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal!
So, Time-Bound must be measurable, attainable and realistic.
As you complete your Personal and Professional Development Goals in your Wholesaler Masterminds Business Plan template be absolutely certain that your goals are S.M.A.R.T.!

Let's face it: crystals are EVERYWHERE right about now! Many celebrities have recently been touting the benefits of crystals. Victoria Beckham, Katy Perry, Gwyneth Paltrow are among just a few of the celebrities which swear by them and their healing properties. Paltrow's lifestyle website, goop.com, has featured articles about crystals and she is an advocate for the use of jade crystal eggs (a controversial crystal therapy).
People keep crystals in bowls at their home, set them on their work desk, carry 'em in a pocket, or wear as jewelry. For some people, this is not just due to the look of the crystals, but what they can do for them. People from all around the globe and throughouthuman history have believed that crystals have powerful energy and natural healing powers.
Crystal healing is considered a vibrational therapy that can be used to assist in healing your mind, body, and spirit. Crystals are able to absorb and transmit electromagnetic energy and thus can act as "pretty lil' partners" to help harmonize the energy of your space. Quantum physicists contend that "everything is energy," so therefore humans are also made up of energy.
Crystals can help to balance your own personal energy and enhance your sense of wellbeing. Here are some things to consider about healing crystals and why they might be a good option for you.
Chakras are known as different points in your body that can be used for healing and meditation. If you've taken yoga classes, you've probably been introduced to them already. You can get even more healing by using the right healing crystals with the right chakras. Different crystals work better with different chakras, so this just requires a little research to ensure you are using the right ones. For example, in the case of the throat chakra, use amazonite, lapis lazuli, or turquoise.
Another reason that healing crystals are great to use for holistic health is that you can get energy from them and can benefit by choosing helpful ones for any given situation. Each crystal has a different type of energy to tap into, which you may or may not resonate with. This is why when buying crystals, you should purchase them in-person so that you can pick them up and see if you feel their energy pulse. This pulse takes a little time and patience to experience, but with the right meditative practice, you can really get natural energy healing from your crystals.
Whether or not you believe in the healing powers of crystals, they are beautiful, inexpensive, and can give you optimism throughout the day. This positive energy is a lot more powerful than you might think.
Who doesn't want to be more connected with nature? This is one of the most amazing benefits of using healing crystals. Crystals come directly from the earth's surface, so of course they will still be closely connected. This is often why you find your crystals in rough form without a lot of altering. When you get it in its natural state, you will feel the most connected to the crystal and the earth itself. If you want to be closer to Mother Nature, using healing crystals is one of the best ways to do that.
Buying a crystal should be an intuitive process. When you walk into a crystal shop, take note of which crystals stand out or call to you, so to speak. You may even sweep your hands a few inches above the rows of crystals and see if you feel a tingly sensation over certain ones. Some people may get "intuitive hits" by having thoughts, feelings, or images pop up in their mind as they hold a particular stone.
Seek out local occult and metaphysical shops, gemstone and bead stores, and upcoming psychic fairs or festivals. I've even found a few gems (no pun intended!) at HomeGoods stores. There are, of course, numerous online stores for those who lack local crystal resources. You can find some beautiful, one-of-a-kind specimens listed on websites like Etsy.com.
If you are looking to start using healing crystals for body and mind healing, it starts with the crystals you use. Each crystal promotes its own set of benefits, whether it is a stone that helps with anxiety, to those for more physical conditions. Different crystals also work with different chakras, which is another important aspect of holistic health. When you are new to using the crystals, the following ones are great to start with.
When people think of crystals, they often think of the clear quartz as a classic crystal stone.This is also why it is one of the first crystals people will get. It is a well-rounded healer, helping with emotional, mental, and physical wellness all at the same time. Clear crystal quartz is the mother of all crystals and known as the "master healer." It enhances the energy of other nearby crystals. This is a great stone to start out with.
alance in your body and mind, helping you to sleep better, relieving anxiety, and helping with mood swings. Amethyst is known as the "great harmonizer," as it is widely used in feng shui to help balance out the energy of a space and reduce stress.
nce compassion for oneself and others.
to start with, as it is easy to find, beautiful, and has a lot of amazing benefits for you. Lapis lazuli has a deep blue shade, so it is calming and relaxing. It is often used for relieving anxiety and stress, helping with eye or throat problems, and helping to ward off negativity. As with all crystals, there are many potential healing benefits you might not realize you are getting from wearing the crystal.
When it comes to decorating your space, I always recommend incorporating purple amethyst especially in a high-traffic area, such as the living room or kitchen. Add it to bookcase shelf to partition off some space for beauty amongst the books, or even set in the middle of your kitchen table for a dash of sparkly decor. For these larger spaces, I suggest incorporating a larger crystal geode or rough cluster, which is a crystal in its most natural, powerful form.
You can even create a circular tray of many smaller tumbled crystals, in various vibrant colors, to add to the center of a coffee table to brighten up the room (see above image). Agates are an inexpensive choice, and can be found in all hues of the rainbow. I would also suggest placing a rose quartz in the bedroom, perhaps on the nightstand, to enhance feelings of love and intimacy with your partner (or even to help attract one)!
When it comes to decorating with crystals, there really are no rules! Follow your own intuition and what "feels right" to you! There will be certain stones which attract you, and others which repel you, and that's ok. Go with the flow and choose ones which energize you. One of the lovely things about crystals is that you can easily move them around to keep things fresh.
From a feng shui perspective, it is always a great idea to regularly rearrange your furniture and switch up your decor from time to time. This helps to keep the chi, or life force energy, easily flowing throughout your home. Just like how an acupuncturist inserts needles to open up the flow of energy within the body, crystals can act as chi-enhancers to facilitate the energetic flow within your space.
So at the very least, crystals are GORGEOUS. To the extent of which you choose to connect with them is totally up to you!
A note: COLORS have vibrations of their own! Check out my blog on this topic.
And now it's your turn: what fun stories do you have around crystals and their role in your home, health, or healing journey? | {

Coming to VOD on Oct. 16th is David Hayter's WOLVES. A red band trailer debuted today and I thought you all might like a look.
"Popular high school student Cayden Richards wakes from a horrific nightmare, only to realize that he's living it… He is changing into something vicious, unpredictable and wild. Forced to hit the road after the brutal murder of his parents, Cayden tries to hunt down the truth of what he is.
Lucas Till and Jason Momoa star.
If you would rather wait and see it in theaters, you'll have to wait till Nov. 14. | {

Sex Checks for Soccer Chicks
Did you hear the one about the Iranian women's national soccer team? Turns out, four of its top players were really men, so now everyone in their pro league has to undergo a mandatory sex check to confirm they are in fact female.
The punchline? Well, the punchline is, I'm not joking. According to the Telegraph:
"Medical examiners will turn up unannounced at training sessions of teams playing in Iran's women's premier league, as well as those playing in the indoor league, known as footsal."
The goal of these random exams? Yup, to establish each athlete's gender. Apparently, thanks to the Iranian Football Federation's new sex testing rule, seven players have already been booted from the league for "playing for the wrong team."
So. My. God.
Back when I played soccer in college, we weren't even allowed to use the same field as the men's team. We had to take a bus into town to use the municipal green. And that was after Title IX had been passed, supposedly guaranteeing equality in sports. Now, we've got men willingly (albeit secretly) coming over to play on our side? We have come a long way, baby.
But here's what I really want to know...what exactly does a random sex check consist of? Is it a simple visual scan, with players pulling down their pants and lifting up their shirts? Or is it more hands-on? Like, they take a few grabs, then they ask you to cough?
If I was a female footballer in Iran, being subjected to that kind of exam would make me feel pretty violated.
But I'm guessing DNA sampling would be way too expensive – after all, women's professional soccer is already an underfunded sport. Here in the U.S., when they tried to popularize a women's pro league, they could barely get enough fans to fill a bathtub, let alone a stadium.
So I started to think of other less offensive, non-invasive methods the Iranian medical examiners could use to establish each soccer player's gender. Stuff that wouldn't cost the league a dime.
Like, have everyone on the team do a load of laundry. If anyone mixes their colors with whites or shrinks their game shirt down to a toddler size onesie, it's a giveaway: she might be a he.
Invite players to gossip about their teammates. Failure to be sufficiently catty or bitchy? Another gimme.
Or, get everyone to talk about their feelings. Any "girl" who's incapable of uttering more than five syllables is totally a ringer.
They could take everyone for a spin on the team bus and get really lost, then see who's willing to stop and ask for directions.
And don't forget the remote control test. See who treats channel surfing like a sport, pausing for five minutes on every single station from two to a hundred, watching TV for over an hour but never finishing a show. Yup, if that happens, you know Gertrude's a dude.
Why not quiz each soccer player on her choice in feminine sanitary products: Kotex vs. Tampax? Scent strips or wings? Or ask everyone to name five metaphors for their period. The average guy only knows two: "That time of the month" and "Aunt Flow."
Or, maybe the doctor's could just shave each player's face and see how long it takes for the stubble to come back? Though that kind of sex check might have its drawbacks for the Iranian football league too. Because, what if you really are a woman, but secretly Italian?

Quarantined with mice: We're all doing the best we can.
In our new normal, dough is the new sign of wealth. Not the green kind, but the bread kind we need to feed our families—and right now, it's especially precious and scarce. So imagine my horror a few days ago to open my bread drawer and find a gaping hole in the bag that packaged my Arnold 100% Whole Wheat, and an alarming number of the slices were half-chewed. Friends, don't tell the government, but it turns out I had house guests. And after weeks of being forced to keep my distance from strangers, having to share the home that had become my sanctuary with a family of rodents was more than horrifying, it was too close for comfort . I don't have to tell you how hard it has been to procure groceries to keep my ever hungry brood fed, the late night maneuverings to nab a delivery slot and the silent prayers hoping that when the delivery day finally comes, the store will actually have the perishables we need in stock. So as my husband went to war setting up a perimeter of mo
Forget the New Year's Resolutions. Have an Attitude Adjustment Instead.
Let's all resolve to stop whining and start thinking positive before I smack you. It's resolution time again, and everyone I know is concocting their admirable, if not impossible, goals for the New Year: "I'm going to lose 50 pounds. By February." "I'm going to climb Mt. Kiliminjaro. Twice." "I'm going to stop drunk online shopping." Whew. All these lofty goals make me wanna veg on my couch with a bag of chips and a martini, surfing the net for sales. This year, I'm proposing a simpler change: how about we all make a vow to stop whining and start thinking positive?
Your Kid Sucks. So Shut Up.
There is some kind of Newtonian law that the more a kid sucks at a sport, the more vocal his parents are on the sidelines. Often, this coincides with Galileo's hypothesis that these are precisely the same parents who are "experts" at the game being conducted, though they have never coached and never played a sport in their life. A handful never even played on the chess team. My high school physics is fuzzy, but I am pretty sure they call this the law of inertia.
Yippee! I Got An Agent!
Some news is so big, you just want to scream it from the rooftops. Stuff like, "I lost my virginity!" or "I'm getting married!" or "We had a baby!" Cherry-popping aside, those other life events are okay to broadcast because it's universally known that people will be happy for you–or act like they are. Then there's the kind of news I recently got which is more personal, and requires people know you or the situation well enough to know exactly how big that news is for you.

This modality is done using either a 1mW red laser or a 5mW green laser (usually red) to work within your energy field. It also uses toning to create multiple waves of healing with the laser. The light is diffused through a crystal or some form of glass to slow down the speed of the light coming through, or spread the beam to cover more of the energy field. We humans are mostly made up of water and therefore we have many waves within us. These are all created by harmonics and vibrations which are affected by light and sound. We also have magnetic energies as part of us that are greatly affected by Laser Light Healing for the ultimate balancing results. Magnetic waves are created when light hits the physical body and vibrates in a specific way that can be measured and controlled by light laser technology. | {

Q: Stack view constraints changes top-layer's view width I have a stack view holding 2 images.
*
*One image's width to be lower or equal to 140 and 1:1 ratio
*Stack view top constraint 20 and trailing constraint 5
When I want to set the stack view leading constraint to 5 (looking at the safe area leading) it enlarges the safe area to a width of 1920 and I have no idea why it does that.
It might have something to do with that the total width of the stack view (including the constraints) is smaller than the width of the safe area so it's ignoring the images width constraint and enlarging it to the default size (1920)? Because, when I change the stack view's distribution to fill proportionally instead of fill equally it does obey to the image's width constraint and the safe view's width stays normal.
If I am thinking correctly, how can I find a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I was trying to think logically and I found a solution by changing the image's width to GREATER or equal to instead of SMALLER or equal to. I was following a devslopes guide and in that Xcode version (Beta XCode9) it did work, it just gave a warning it wasn't obeying that constraint anymore (I think it was saying that, I just saw the width being red). So it works now, if anyone has this problem following their guide, just do what I said and it will work.

LIC, EPFO may fund startups
The platform is being readied by Sidbi, which already manages a fund for startups, with LIC and EPFO evincing interest during a meeting of the National Startup Advisory Council chaired by commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal.
Strategy to bring investors
As the government readies a strategy to bring investors and startups on a common platform, LIC and Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) are among those willing to fund startups.
Promotion of industry
Anil Aggarwal, additional secretary in the department for the promotion of industry and internal trade, told TOI that a key area of focus was providing early-stage funding. "India has just around 6,000 angel investors, while the US has close to three lakh. We are looking at the regulatory and other issues to make the system more robust," the officer said.
Program for mentorship
He said the government was also taking up a program for mentorship, an idea that was suggested by SoftBank's Manoj Kohli. The idea is to set up a technology platform through which there can be match-making and the field can be expanded. The moves came amid a fresh endorsement of the thrust being given to startups in government policies.
"The government is committed to cut red tape, improve ease of doing business, provide financial assistance through startup seed fund, supporting incubators, enhancing skills and this holistic approach has intended to resolve the issues relating to capital mobilization, support innovation with tinkering labs, and meet the capacity and capability requirements of startups," Goyal said at the meeting.

According to John 4, the Father SEEKS His children to worship Him in Spirit and Truth. That means it is His desire, not only receive worship, but also to receive the RIGHT kind of worship. Worship is not something to be invented out of blind zeal, but to be offered according to God's prescribed methods.
This is true in both worship covenants, called the Old Covenant and New Covenant.
No one would debate the specific nature of prescribed worship under the Old Covenant. Nor could anyone debate the horrific conditions that occurred in Israel when those specifications were ignored or disregarded for culture, personal preference, or popularity. The abandonment of God-prescribed worship led to all sorts of error including idol worship, yet the worst quite possibly being child sacrifice.
The New Covenant is no different. Just as God prescribed what actions were acceptable in worship in the Old Testament period, God has prescribed what is appropriate for worship in the New Testament period. God leaves nothing up to the imagination, but exhorts us often in His Word.
So what does God-prescribed, first century worship consist of?
The general make up of it is as follows. A congregation of grace touched sinners met as an assembly, with the anticipation of being joined by God Himself, the Holy Spirit. They met as families, unsegregated, often in homes but occasionally outside or even in a synagogue. The group would pray for one another and thank God for His mercies. They would lift their voices in praise of Jesus Christ, Who was slain for them as their Saviour. They would then listen as a God-called man presented them a lesson about Jesus Christ from the scriptures (which at that time consisted of the Old Testament and New Testament books as they were written). Initially, the speakers were Apostles but were eventually replaced by Elders as the primary teachers (such as Titus, Timothy, etc). Questions were often asked of the ministers. Sinners repented and were Baptized. Those Baptized were given seats at the Lord's Supper to partake of unleavened bread and wine. They would also wash one anothers' feet as an example of their submission and servitude, one to another.
That, my brother, is God-prescribed worship. All other additions are futile, unfruitful, unfilling perversions of that which Christ has made. Frankly, I am satisfied.
Snowed In - Worship at Home!
A brother shared this verse of a hymn earlier today on Facebook. Since many churches in our area had to cancel services due to the dangerous conditions, this verse has been on my mind.
The first two verses are about Baptism. Specifically, not to fear the cold water if your heart is warm for the Lord. The last 3 verses are about our duty as Christians after baptism. It was written by Elder John Leland. You remember that he is partially responsible for the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution. He was an Old Baptist minister.
If by Jesus you are prized, Rise, believe, and be baptized.
Children, prove your love to Him, Never fear the frozen stream.
If the Savior's love you feel, Let the world behold your zeal.
When the storm prevents your roam, Serve your gracious Lord at home.
Meditate His law by night, This will give you great delight.
The following is the answer to an inquiry I received via email - BW.
The word Justification, as used in the Bible, is a legal term. It is not a biological term (as most people incorrectly use it). It means "to declare one just." When a judge issues his verdict of "not-guilty," the person on trial is then "justified." There are texts that speak of God being "justified in the Spirit" (1 Tim 3:16) and even texts when men "justified God" (Luke 7:29). Obviously, God needs no one to "make" Him righteous. These verses teach of God being "declared to be Just." Certainly every action of God declares that He is just! But, I hope these verses help define a Biblical usage of the term itself.
Now on to specifics. In the Bible, pertaining to men, there are three types, or phases, of Justification. There is justification by blood, justification by faith, and justification by works. I will write briefly about each of the three.
Justification by Blood (Rom 5:9). This is legal justification in the sight of God. This happened ONCE in the history of all the Earth, when Christ made Himself an offering on the Cross. When Christ was made an offering for sins, God the Father was pleased with the Son's sacrifice and we were legally justified (declared just). This verdict occurs in God's courtroom!
Justification by Faith (Rom 4). This is experiential. In short, when a born again person trusts solely in Christ's power to raise the dead, that faith is "counted unto him" for righteousness. The reality of being redeemed (justified by blood) is understood by the believer. That person, upon believing, experiences peace with God (5:1). Below are some specific, undisputable facts about justification by faith.
Paul's two examples of this are Abraham and David.
Abraham - According to Paul in Romans 4, Abraham was justified by faith in Genesis 15:6 when he believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Notice though, that Abraham left Ur in Genesis 12:1. According to Hebrews 11, Abraham left Ur by faith. According to Galatians 5:22, faith is a fruit of the Spirit. According to Hebrews 12:2, Christ authors Faith in a person. In short, no one has faith without first being born again (1 John 5:1). Faith is a product of the New Birth, when God writes His laws upon our hearts, and teaches us to "know Him" (Heb 8).
According to Reformed Theology however, justification by faith comes at the identical time as the new birth. Yet, we find Abraham walking by faith 15 years prior to the event in which he was "justified by faith," all the way back in Genesis 12:1. Hmm...how can one walk by faith for over a decade prior to being justified by faith, if justification by faith and the new birth are synonyms? Simple, that idea is erroneous.
Abraham walked by faith, worship God, etc., prior to believing in Christ's power to raise his dead body in a reproductive sense. He was already born again. But, when he believed God's promise, his redeemed state with God was felt and he was justified on the level of his conscience. The legal fact was now a felt reality!!!
David – Paul, in Romans 4, quotes from Psalm 32 written well into David's life pertaining NOT to the event in which David was born again, but when David confessed sins and was blessed with a renewal of God's fellowship through repentance.
So what is Justification by faith? Simple – as stated above, when a Child of God believes in Christ's power and turns to God in repentance, he is declared on the level of his conscience to be just, and experiences peace with God. This is experiential.
By faith: The courtroom of a believer's conscience.
By works: The courtroom of onlookers' opinions.
This view is the only view consistent with both Paul's examples, other fundamental teachings (such as faith being a fruit of the Spirit, not the cause), and the actual definition of the term.
Each Primitive Baptist Church has her own Statement of Faith. The two terms generally describing this document is "Articles of Faith" or "Statement of Faith." Occasionally you will see such document described as "Abstract of Principles." Whatever the describing term, the document is generally a short, concise expression of the individual Church's founding principles. The number of articles usually varies between 8 and 14, and highlights the essential, non-negotiable doctrines of the Bible (The Godhead, election, redemption, regeneration, resurrection, ordinances, etc). Ordinarily, each article begins with the phrase "We believe."
While there is no such recorded "Statement of Faith" for the first century church recorded in Scripture, there are several "We Believe" statements given. Below is every such occurrence of the phrase as found in Scripture. I find them incredible encouraging and comforting! | {

BEIJING — A former rising star in Chinese politics has been charged with bribery, becoming the highest-level serving official to be prosecuted in President Xi Jinping's sweeping anti-corruption campaign, now in its sixth year.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate announced the indictment of Sun Zhengcai, the former Communist Party leader of the western megacity of Chongqing and a member of the party's 25-member Politburo, on its website Tuesday.
The announcement said Sun "illegally accepted huge amounts of money and goods" from others in return for providing them with benefits.
Also Tuesday, the party's anti-corruption watchdog body announced the country's former top internet regulator and censor has been dismissed from his remaining post and expelled from the Communist Party amid accusations of corruption and violating party discipline.
Lu Wei's former responsibilities included holding high-profile meetings with top executives from foreign technology and internet companies, including Apple chief executive Tim Cook, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Among a long list of accusations against Lu was that he engaged in factionalism and "selectively enforced" the party's "strategic arrangements on internet work," in addition to being corrupt and abusing his powers.
It said his case would be referred to "the relevant national bodies to be dealt with according to law."
In the case against Sun, the indictment focused on bribery, but leaders have made it clear his alleged offenses were largely political in nature.
The chairman of China's securities regulator said at a major party meeting last year that Sun and other senior figures prosecuted in the crackdown were "conspiring openly to usurp party leadership."
Sun was expelled from the party and dismissed from public office in September because he was suspected of "serious discipline violations," a phrase that usually refers to bribery and other graft.
Sun, 53, had been seen as a candidate for promotion to the Politburo's Standing Committee, the select group of leaders who constitute the apex of political power in China.
He was removed suddenly from his Chongqing post and replaced by protege Chen Min'er, who was subsequently promoted to the Politburo.
Sun had been identified most closely with the China Youth League faction associated with Xi's predecessor, Hu Jintao, which Xi has effectively sidelined in the succession process.
Lu had been placed under investigation in November on suspicion of "serious violations of discipline."
He had already been replaced as internet czar in June but until Tuesday had formally retained his position as vice minister of propaganda.
Lu had been known as a hard-liner responsible for leading the government's efforts to tighten control over domestic cyberspace and championing the party's position that governments have a right to filter and censor their countries' internet.
China has long sought to utilize the web for commercial purposes, while preventing the free exchange of information.
Lu wielded wide-ranging powers over what China's 700 million internet users could view online and acted as gatekeeper for technology companies wishing to do business in China.
He demanded tough security checks on imported foreign tech products and enforced measures to restrict the activities of foreign internet companies and block social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in the name of preserving social stability.
Lu's departure has not led to any easing of such demands or restrictions on information. | {

Vivian Campbell Reclaiming Dio Heritage With Last In Line
. (Classic Rock) Last In Line is all about reclaiming lost heritage for guitarist Vivian Campbell. The Def Leppard axeman has reunited with fellow founding Dio members Vinny Appice, Jimmy Bain and Claude Schnell. Together with singer Andy Freeman they're gearing up to tour the UK, playing the tracks they wrote as part of the late Ronnie James Dio's band.
And Campbell – who was fired by Dio in 1986 – asserts the move to reclaim material he co-created is long overdue. He tells Classic Rock: "I've got a different way of looking at it now than I've had for almost 30 years.
"I was fired, then I was portrayed as the one who'd turned my back on the band. It wasn't true: I never wanted to leave Dio," he said. "I will admit that, at the time, I was experiencing growth and I wanted to try different kinds of music.
"That obviously rubbed Ronnie the wrong way. Perhaps that's what he construed as me not wanting to be in the band – but I certainly did not want to leave."
As a result of the experience, Campbell turned his back on the music he'd written with Dio, and he's still upset about the way he and his bandmates were treated. more on this story

Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)- The central bank of Bangladesh will scale down the minimum amount of loans for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) so that more such enterprises can have access to credit facilities, officials said.
Under the new provision, the banks will be allowed to sanction loans of minimum Tk 50,000 instead of existing Tk 200,000 for SME financing. The upper limit for such loans, however, will remain unchanged at Tk 5.0 million.
Currently, the banks can sanction loans between Tk 200,000 and Tk 5.0 million, to any single SME to any subject to fulfillment of certain conditions by the borrowers.
"We've decided to relax the minimum limit of SME loans to facilitate the entrepreneurs' particularly small ones," a senior official of the Bangladesh Bank (BB) said, adding that the central bank would issue a circular in this connection soon.
"Other terms and conditions for SME loans will remain unchanged," the BB official said, adding that the borrowers would be able to use the fund as working capital as well as term loan.
The central bank earlier asked the commercial banks to ensure proper utilisation of loans for SMEs to avoid any financial risks.
Under the existing definition, the small enterprises are, in principle, not public limited companies. The criteria for such a company in service sector has been set with a total fixed asset worth Tk 50,000 to Tk 5.0 million, excluding land and building and the number of employees less than 25 persons.
A small enterprise in trading should have total assets worth Tk 50,000 to Tk 5.0 million, excluding the value of fixed asset and the number of employees at 25.
Total asset for a small enterprise in manufacturing sector has been set at Tk 50,000 to Tk 5.0 million excluding land and building and number of employees less than 25 persons. | {

Xavi says Lionel Messi still has 'five or seven very good years' left
The former midfielder has been talking about the GOAT
By Gill Clark May 5, 2020, 7:00am CEST
Share All sharing options for: Xavi says Lionel Messi still has 'five or seven very good years' left
Xavi has been talking about Barcelona captain Lionel Messi in an Instagram chat with Samuel Eto'o and reckons the Argentina international has "got five or seven very good years left in him."
The 32-year-old admitted in his Ballon d'Or acceptance speech back in December that "retirement is approaching" but Xavi thinks he has a way to go just yet
"He's still got five or seven very good years left in him," he said.
"He takes good care of himself and he can keep playing until he's 37, 38 or 39.
"He'll play at the Qatar World Cup, I'm sure."
Messi's current contract at Barcelona expires next summer, but his renewal is said to be one of the club's top priorities as they look to secure his future.
The Argentinian spoke about the Qatar World Cup in June 2019 but said he did not know if he would be able to play in the tournament and that he would have to "see if my body holds up." | {

In this Feb. 19, 2019, file photo, from front to back, Samuel Aquila, archbishop of Denver Msgr. Randy Dollins, vicar general, and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser listen about the plan to have a former federal prosecutor review the sexual abuse files of Colorado's Catholic dioceses at a news conference in Denver. Nine more Catholic priests, including one well known for helping Denver's homeless, have been identified as sexually abusing children in Colorado in a follow-up report released Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020, by Weiser.

Nine more Catholic priests, including one well known for helping Denver's homeless, were found to have sexually abused children in an updated report on sex abuse in Colorado's Catholic churches released Tuesday by state Attorney General Phil Weiser.
Nine more Catholic priests, including one well known for helping Denver's homeless, were found to have sexually abused children in an updated report on sex abuse in Colorado's Catholic churches released Tuesday by state Attorney General Phil Weiser.
The late Father Charles B. Woodrich, known as Father Woody, and the other eight were not previously identified in an initial report released in October 2019 based on a review of church records in the Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo dioceses under an agreement between Weiser's office and the church.
Six of the newly named priests are dead while the others were previously removed from the priesthood or retired. A day shelter for the homeless had been named in honor of Father Woody several years after his death in 1991. But his name was removed from the Haven of Hope's name earlier this year after its leaders learned of the allegations against him, board President Don Gallegos said in a statement.
The latest report looked at abuse reported to Weiser's office or a reparations program funded by the church since the release of the first report. It found evidence to back up claims of the abuse of 46 more children by a total of 25 priests, 16 of whom were named in last year's report as having substantiated claims of sex abuse made against them. In all, 212 children were found to have been abused by 52 diocesan priests between 1950 and 1999, but mostly in the 1960s.
Both reviews, conducted by former U.S. Attorney Bob Troyer, did not look at alleged abuse by priests from religious orders or those visiting from other dioceses.
The review was launched after a Pennsylvania grand jury alleged in 2018 that more than 300 priests had abused at least 1,000 children over seven decades there, raising questions about the scope of abuse in other states. Unlike Pennsylvania, Colorado does not give the power to convene a grand jury to its attorney general, so Weiser and the church agreed to a voluntary review of its records. The church also established and funded a reconciliation and reparations program to provide payments to people who had been abused by priests. It was administered by Kenneth Feinberg and Camille Biros, who oversaw victims' compensation for the 2012 Aurora theater shooting and the Sept. 11 attacks and also ran similar programs for those abused by clergy in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California.
The program has authorized the payment of $7.3 million to 79 people, according to its final report on Tuesday.
In a joint statement, Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila, Denver Bishop Jorge Rodriguez, Colorado Springs Bishop Michael Sheridan and Pueblo Bishop Stephen Berg said they hoped Troyer's review and the reparations process have provided justice and healing for survivors.
"We remain heart-broken by the pain they have endured, we again offer our deepest apologies for the past failures of the Church, and we promise that we will always pray for continued healing for them and their families," they said.
The church agreed to make changes recommended by Troyer, including providing victim-assistance coordinators and encouraging people to report abuse directly to law enforcement. The church's reputation would be jeopardized if it did not follow through on their commitments, Weiser said.

Price: None. Sourced from publisher.
Thank you, Wes Florentine of Verona Booksellers, for sending me an eBook copy of this book! It did not, in any way, sway my opinions about it.
The Story: I never expected myself to read a coming of age story for the next couple of months. For the rest of 2015, I wanted to focus on romantic contemporaries, and fantasy novels since they are my favorite genres. But when Wes Florentine of Verona Booksellers came to me, asking me to review this book, I, being a start-up blogger, immediately said yes, and no, I do not regret my decision.
The story focused on life's many issues: Depression, peer pressure, the advantages of being popular, and the giddy or heartbreaking feeling of making or losing friends and significant others. I loved reading from an unpopular guy's perspective. We usually read about teen angst among women, especially in the Young Adult genre, but we never try to read or comprehend what males usually go through when they experience being alone, without a friend. It widened my literary horizons, now that I have read Jay Murchison's story.
The characters were all very diverse. They were well blended, and each of them complemented the others. The full roster of characters were brilliantly written in terms of character developments and each and every one of them helped in making the story a whole lot more interesting.
The writing style was great. Fast-paced and simple, this [writing style] has the makings of a wonderful book. You guys know how much I love fast-paced reads, right? (Although, because of school works, it took me a week to finish this.) There is something about it that will compel you to keep on turning the pages, not knowing that you will be finished in a matter of minutes.
The Ending: *This part is filled with spoilers. I suggest you skip this part if you don't want to cry later on.* I did not see that one coming. Rarely do I find plot twists like this one's where a person is popular and yet, suicidal. I mean, I know it's realistic, but I have read anything about it, thus, my passivity. But wow. The character death in this work of art was nowhere near predictable because the character development weren't as evident as it is supposed to be, but it ended up being a nice twist to this book's ending.
To me, the next few days after Saphnie's death were very dragging. I know it was hard to move on from it, especially for Jay, but prolonging the agony doesn't seem like a good way to move on. I get that they had to spend days on vacation where Jay and Saphnie were supposed to meet, but if you're trying to forget about it, why would you say yes to visiting the place where your friend died? Hmm.
Bryant A. Loney is an 18-year-old growing up in the U.S. Heartland. He wrote a coming-of-age novel called To Hear The Ocean Sigh, available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, Google Play, Kobo, and more.

The water balance of an area compares the precipitation with surface runoff and evaporation. In lakes, bogs and the Underground, water can be stored differently long.
Brandenburg is nationwide one of the driest states in Germany with an average precipitation height of 558 mm. Current climate calculations predict an increase in the mean temperature at a constant approximately annual precipitation for Brandenburg. This climate change will be reflected in the water balance by increasing evaporation and decreasing runoff. Although Decades of drainage of fields, forests, bogs and even potholes ensures a rapid percolation of rainfall, but also reduces groundwater recharge. Dried bogs can no more store water and the buffer effect (protection against drought and flood) is no longer guaranteed.
The planned project measures to improve the water balance, such as the deconstruction of drainage systems and Wetland restoration, not only serve to protect individual species, but also ourselves with our demands for clean drinking water and adequate water supply of our food crops and livestock. | {

As a security researcher I believe it's important for those defending critical and industrial infrastructure to share knowledge and stay up-to-date on malware tradecraft.
So, when the GreyEnergy Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) was unveiled by ESET last year, I put my reverse engineering skills to work to analyze one of the malware's infection techniques. This was the phishing email containing a malicious Microsoft Word document (maldoc) that lead to the installation of the malware (backdoor) on a victim's network.
Today I am publishing a Research Paper that provides a comprehensive analysis of how the malware works, from the maldoc, to the custom packer and the final dropper (backdoor). This investigation is a more detailed analysis than what I put forward in a blog article in November 2018. And, the deepest analysis is done on the packer, an executable that decrypts and decompresses another executable inside itself.
This article provides a summary of the techniques used by the packer to conceal its true functionality and provides a link to download my full Research Paper, GreyEnergy: Dissecting the Malware from Maldoc to Backdoor, Comprehensive Reverse Engineering Analysis.
Once the GreyEnergy malware infects a system, it does a very good job of using anti-analysis techniques to conceal its true functionality.
When someone opens the Word document contained in the GreyEnergy phishing email, and clicks on "Enable Content", malicious code is downloaded from a remote location.
The downloaded file is an executable which I suspected was a "packer", i.e. an executable which contains one or more executables that are compressed and encrypted. While sometimes used legitimately to protect intellectual property, packers are also used by threat actors to hide malware.
Junk code – unnecessary code that has no impact on the suspected packer's code, and whose purpose is to confuse the reverse engineer. I determined that GreyEnergy contains a massive amount of junk code.
Overlapping instructions – GreyEnergy uses JMP instructions that function as overlapping instructions, where the same sequence of bytes can be interpreted as different instructions, depending on the exact byte in which execution starts.
JMP-based execution code – the execution flow of the suspected GreyEnergy packer is almost completely based on the use of JMP instructions, instead of sequential instructions. This makes it very hard to identify the true executable, hidden in a sea of junk code.
Furthermore, the binary file of the suspected packer appeared to have overlay data. This is data appended at the end of the file that includes an additional executable component, and is decrypted during run-time.
Entropy – this is an assessment of a file's randomness. Using one measure of entropy, with a scale of 0 to 8, where results of 7 or more indicate encryption, GreyEnergy has a score of 7.994. This is a strong indicator that the overlay data is encrypted.
Hardcoded imports – the WinAPIs called by the suspected packer are not contained in the PE import table, but loaded at runtime and pushed ono the stack using a mov instruction, without any kind of obfuscation technique.
String overwrite – the suspected packer overwrites all strings with zeros, after the strings have been loaded into memory.
Accessing the overlay – the malware uses a series of steps to identify where the overlay starts and the exact size of its own executable, and allocates space for itself inside the memory. My analysis reveals exactly how the malware identifies the right offset for the overlay.
Decryption algorithm – the malware uses a custom algorithm to hide its malicious components. When the decryption algorithm is applied, it is clear the data contains an executable. However, there are several unexpected bytes between the recognized patterns, indicating that the data is not yet complete. I suspected that the data is compressed somehow.
Decompression algorithm – my suspicion is quickly confirmed, and after decompression, the new buffer contains a valid PE header.
The original entry point (OEP) – next the packer points to the uncompressed buffer, parses the PE header and iterates all sections again. Once it accesses the overlay data, a second PE header is revealed, which is the real malicious component (backdoor), waiting to be installed inside the victim's systems.
It's now possible to identify two specific components from the unpacked data – the dropper and the backdoor.
The suspected packer executes the dropper in-memory without storing it inside the filesystem. This step confirms that the binary is a packer, because it has just demonstrated all the primary characteristics of packers.
Once complete, my analysis showed that the GreyEnergy packer is robust and capable of significantly slowing down the reverse engineering process. The techniques used are not new, but both the tools and the tactics employed were cleverly selected. The threat actors' broad use of anti-forensic techniques underlines their attempt to be stealthy and ensure that the infection would go unnoticed.
I urge you to download my full Research Paper, containing all the details related to reverse engineering the packer, as well as my analysis of the malicious Word document and the dropper.
Based on how well the malware disguises itself once it infects a system, the best way for industrial organizations to protect themselves from the GreyEnergy APT is to train employees on the dangers of email phishing campaigns, including how to recognize malicious emails and attachments.
In addition, critical infrastructure networks should always be monitored with dedicated cyber security systems to proactively detect threats present on the network.
As a direct outcome of this analysis, I developed tools to help analysts dissect this piece of malware. The GreyEnergy Yara Module, is high-performing code for compiling with the Yara engine. It adds a new keyword that determines whether a file processed by Yara is the GreyEnergy packer or not.
This tool, combined with the previously published GreyEnergy Unpacker (a Python script that automatically unpacks both the dropper and the backdoor, extracting them onto a disk), saves other security analysts the reverse engineering work explained in this paper.
I hope that these tools, along with my findings, facilitate further GreyEnergy analysis and help the security community better defend critical infrastructure systems in the future. | {
