Kalvis melagis (original spelling Kalwis-Miałagis; ) was a Lithuanian-language periodical published by Petras Vileišis and other Lithuanian students in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, in 1875–1876. Lithuanian publications were banned after the Uprising of 1863. As a result, Kalvis melagis was published in secret and was short-lived (less than 10 issues appeared). It was a primitive hand-written and then mimeographed 4-page newsletter. Nevertheless, it is the first known Lithuanian periodical in the Russian Empire and one of the first Lithuanian periodicals overall.
History
A handful of Lithuanians who studied at various universities in Saint Petersburg gathered into an informal group. According to Juozas Tumas-Vaižgantas, the group would gather in the apartment of graf Vladimir Zubov. Its most active member was Petras Vileišis who initiated the publication of Kalvis megalis. The nameplate was drawn by Stanislovas Lukša. Other contributors included Juozas Brazaitis, Juozas Grigiškis, Česlovas Pancežinskis, Jonas Kymantas. It was handwritten by Vileišis on standard paper, mimeographed, and distributed among Lithuanian students and sent via mail to others. It was published three times a month between December 1875 and March 1876 but no more than 10 issues appeared. Though circulation must have been very small, Kalvis melagis was known to Lithuanian activists. Jonas Šliūpas wrote about it in Aušra in 1883.
He picked the title based on blacksmith Krasnickis near his native village. As a child, Vileišis liked to visit the smithy and listen to blacksmith's stories. Since the smithy was visited by many people from different places, the blacksmith heard and told news and rumors but would always say that he was a liar and made up stories to avoid any trouble with the police. The circumstances around the establishment of Kalvis melagis were described in the novel Tėviškė (Homeland) by .
Content
Two surviving issues of Kalvis melagis (1 and 10 January 1876) were discovered in 1941. They are kept in the collection of Polish ethnographer at the . These two surviving issues published parts of Vileišis' short story Jonas ir Aniutė and an untitled dialogue of blacksmith with local peasants as well as basic introduction to arithmetic with exercises, a Lithuanian folk song, short news from Lithuania and announcements. Its educational content targeted less educated villagers. It was written phonetically in the native dialect of Vileišis using the Polish alphabet and many Slavic loanwords.
According to memoirs of Juozas Brazaitis, who was a medical student at the time, Kalvis melagis also published his translation of the song about Wilija (Neris) from the poem Konrad Wallenrod by Adam Mickiewicz as well as his original poem Išvažiavimas iš namų studento (Departure of a Student from Home). According to Brazaitis, Kalvis melagis also published translated excerpts from the poem Pan Tadeusz by Mickiewicz, some political texts, and even prices of grain.
Jonas ir Aniutė and dialogues of the blacksmith
Encouraged by his experience with Kalvis melagis, Vileišis prepared his two main contributions – short story Jonas ir Aniutė and dialogues of the blacksmith – for publication as separate booklets. Lithuanian publications were banned but due to an error by the state censor, the two booklets were approved in May and September 1876. The official permit for Jonas ir Aniutė was issued not to Vileišis but to Vladislovas Stulginskis and therefore his initials WS appear on the cover. It was one of a few times when Lithuanians managed to circumvent the press ban and publish Lithuanian texts.
Jonas ir Aniutė was published as a 36-page booklet. It is a story about a beautiful and industrious young woman Aniutė. She is an orphan and hired help with no dowry, but falls in love with Jonas, a son of a wealthy peasant who worked hard, saved money, and bought himself out of serfdom. Jonas' father protests the relationship and wants to banish the lovers. Jonas though illiterate promises to work hard and earn a living for both of them (by, among other things, trading grain he cultivates in present-day Latvia). Jonas' father eventually relents and the story ends happily with the wedding. The story describes folk customs (e.g. preparations for Christmas, games, songs) as well as praises nature (in particular, rivers Mūša and Lėvuo). It paints an idyllic image of a Lithuanian village which did not reflect social realities and is quite atypical in Lithuanian literature.
The blacksmith dialogues were published as a 40-page booklet titled Dvi labai naudingos šnekos (Two Very Useful Talks). The text was heavily edited from the version that was published in Kalvis melagis (e.g. shortened monologues, reduced number of characters, streamlined the story, changed some names and locations, improved the language). The work features blacksmith Ferdinandas, an old wise man and village philosopher, talking with village folk who stopped by the smithy. The first talk includes realistic stories about a Lithuanian student who studied in Saint Petersburg and saved enough to buy a pharmacy in Pasvalys, a local noble who partied and gambled his inherited estate away, several stories of people who borrowed heavily from Jewish lenders and lost almost everything they had. The second talk provides some advice on how to avoid going into debt, i.e. by selling agricultural products in Riga and Jelgava without intermediaries. The booklet ends with an appendix about Russian education system, including requirements to apply, tuition costs, and available financial aid. It is clear that the work was written from Vileišis' personal experiences, many characters were named after his own family members. While clearly a didactic work, it is not a sermon and written in a more acceptable conversational format.

2.0 Maximum Income Limits.
2.1 Effective with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, and before January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of a plan participant which exceeds $150,000 (as indexed under section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining benefits or employee contributions. Effective only for the 1996 plan year, in determining the compensation of an employee eligible for consideration, under this plan section the Rules of Section 414(g)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply, except that in applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the member and any lineal descendants of the employee who have not attained age nineteen (19) before the close of the year.
2.2 Effective with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of a plan participant which exceeds $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, may not be taken into account in determining benefits or employee contributions for any plan year. Annual compensation means compensation during the plan year or such other consecutive twelve (12) month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year. If the determination period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the annual compensation limit is an amount equal to the otherwise applicable annual compensation limit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short determination period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). If the compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a plan participant's contributions or benefits for the current plan year, the compensation for such prior determination period is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior period.
2.3 The limits referenced in paragraphs rules 2.1 and 2.2 above apply only to years beginning after December 31, 1995, and only to individuals who first become plan participants in plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996. Individuals who become plan participants of before plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, are not subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Instead, pursuant to section 13212(d)(3)(A) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA '93), and the regulations issued under that section, the annual compensation in effect under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 does not apply to any such plan participant in any plan year.
3.0 Trustee Transfers.
This section rule applies to distributions made on and after January 1, 1993. A distributee may elect to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a transfer made from the Pension Fund.
3.1 Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or the life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income; and any other distribution that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during the year. Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution will not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However, such non-taxable portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Internal Revenue Code section 408(a) or (b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or, in addition, on or after January 1, 2007, to a qualified defined benefit plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or to an annuity contract described in Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of the distribution that is not so includible.

4.1 Employee contributions paid to, and retirement benefits paid from, the Pension Fund may not exceed the annual limits on contributions and benefits, respectively, allowed by Internal Revenue Code section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2 For purposes of applying these limits only and for no other purpose, the definition of compensation where applicable will be compensation actually paid or made available during a limitation year, except as noted below and as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section §1.415(c)-(2), or successor regulation. Specifically, compensation will be defined as wages within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to an employee by an employer for which the employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement under Internal Revenue Code sections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Compensation will be determined without regard to any rules under Internal Revenue Code Section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Internal Revenue Code section 3401(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2.1 However, for limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, compensation will also include amounts that would otherwise be included in compensation but for the an election under Internal Revenue Code sections 125(a), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

4.2.3.1 Compensation shall also include payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the member would have been able to use if employment had continued; and payments pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payments would have been paid to the member at the same time if the member had continued employment with the employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the member's gross income.
4.2.3.2 Any payments not described above are not considered compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within 2½ months following severance from employment, except for payments to the individual who does not currently perform services for the employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of section 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the employer rather than entering qualified military service.
4.2.4 Back pay, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the limitation year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
4.2.5 An employee who is in qualified military service (within the meaning of section 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) shall be treated as receiving compensation from the employer during such period of qualified military service equal to (i) the compensation the employee would have received during such period if the employee were not in qualified military service, determined based on the rate of pay the employee would have received from the employer but for the absence during the period of qualified military service, or (ii) if the compensation the employee would have received during such period was not reasonably certain, the employee's average compensation from the employer during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the qualified military service (or, if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding the qualified military service).
4.3 Before January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the limits specified in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in that section. On and after January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the dollar amount specified in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.4 On and after January 1, 2009, for purposes of applying the limits under Internal Code section 415(b) (Limit) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the following will apply:
4.4.1 A plan participant's applicable Limit will be applied to the plan participant's annual benefit in the first limitation year without regard to any automatic cost of living increases;
4.4.2 To the extent the plan participant's annual benefit equals or exceeds the Limit, the plan participant will no longer be eligible for cost of living increases until such time as the benefit plus the accumulated increases are less than the Limit; and
4.4.3 Thereafter, in any subsequent limitation year, the plan participant's annual benefit including any automatic cost of living increase applicable shall be tested under the then applicable benefit limit including any adjustment to the Code section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 dollar limit under Code section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder.; and
4.5 In no event shall a plan participant's annual benefit payable from the Pension Fund in any limitation year be greater than the limit applicable at the annuity starting date, as increased in subsequent years pursuant to Code section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder. If the form of benefit without regard to the automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life annuity or a qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by reducing the Code section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity starting date adjusting the form of benefit to an actuarially equivalent amount (determined using the assumptions specified in Treasury Regulation § 1.415(b)-1(c)(2)(ii)) that takes into account the death additional benefits under the form of benefit as follows:
4.5.1 For a benefit paid in a form to which section 417(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 does not apply (generally, a monthly benefit), the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity benefit that is the greater of:
4.5.1.1 The annual amount of the straight life annuity (if any) payable to the member under the plan commencing at the same annuity starting date as the form of benefit to the member, or
4.5.1.2 The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the member, computed using a 5% interest assumption (or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables described in Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Rulings 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).
4.5.2 For a benefit paid in a form to which section 417(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applies (generally, a lump sum benefit), the actuarially equivalent straight life annuity benefit that is the greatest of:
4.5.2.1 The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable, computed using the interest rate and mortality table, or tabular factor, specified in the plan for actuarial equivalence;
4.5.2.2 The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable, computed using a 5.5 percent interest assumption (or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Ruling 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986); or
4.5.2.3 The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable (computed using the applicable interest rate for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) (the 30-year Treasury rate (prior to January 1 2007, using the rate in effect for the month prior to retirement, and on and after January 1, 2007, using the rate in effect for the first day of the plan year with a one-year stabilization period)) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Ruling 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), divided by 1.05.
4.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the Board may modify a request by a plan participant to make a contribution to the Pension Fund if the amount of the contribution would exceed the limits provided in Internal Revenue Code section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by using the following methods:
4.6.1 If the law requires a lump sum payment for the purchase of service credit, the Board may establish a periodic payment plan for the plan participant to avoid a contribution in excess of the limits under Internal Revenue Code sections 415(c) or 415(n) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.6.2 If payment pursuant to paragraph 4.6.1 will not avoid a contribution in excess of the limits imposed by Internal Revenue Code section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board may either reduce the plan participant's contribution to an amount within the limits of that section or refuse the plan participant's contribution.
4.7 Effective for permissive service credit contributions made in limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, if a plan participant makes one or more contribution to purchase permissive service credit under the Pension Fund, then the requirements of this section will be treated as met only if:
4.7.1 The requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are met, determined by treating the accrued benefit derived from all such contributions as an annual benefit for purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or
4.7.2 The requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are met, determined by treating all such contributions as annual additions for purposes of Code section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
For purposes of applying subparagraph Rule 4.7.1 the Pension Fund will not fail to meet the reduced limit under Internal Revenue Code section 415(b)(2)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 solely by reason of this paragraph 10.16.7 Rule 4.7, and for purposes of applying subparagraph Rule 4.7.2 the Pension Fund will not fail to meet the percentage limitation under Internal Revenue Code section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 solely by reason of this paragraph Rule 4.7.
4.7.3 For purposes of this paragraph (g) Rule 4.7 the term "permissive service credit" means service credit.
4.7.3.1 Recognized by the Pension Fund for purposes of calculating a plan participant's benefit under the Pension Fund,

4.7.3.3 Which such plan participant may receive only by making a voluntary additional contribution, in an amount determined under the Pension Fund, which does not exceed the amount necessary to fund the benefit attributable to such service credit.
Effective for permissive service credit contributions made in limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, such term may include service credit for periods for which there is no performance of service, and, notwithstanding clause Rule 4.7.3.3, may include service credited in order to provide an increased benefit for service credit which a plan participant is receiving under the Pension Fund.
4.7.4 The Pension Fund will fail to meet the requirements of this paragraph Rule 4.7 if:
4.7.4.1 More than five (5) years of nonqualified service credit are taken into account for purposes of this paragraph Rule 4.7.4, or
4.7.4.2 Any nonqualified service credit is taken into account under this paragraph Rule 4.7 before the plan participant has at least five (5) years of participation under the Pension Fund.
4.7.5 For purposes of paragraph Rule 4.7.4, effective for permissive service credit contributions made in limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, the term "nonqualified service credit" means permissive service credit other than that allowed with respect to:
4.7.5.1 Service (including parental, medical, sabbatical, and similar leave) as an employee of the Government of the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than military service or service for credit which was obtained as a result of a repayment described in Internal Revenue Code section 415(k)(3)) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
4.7.5.2 Service (including parental, medical, sabbatical, and similar leave) as an employee (other than as an employee described in clause (i)) of an education organization described in Internal Revenue Code section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which is a public, private, or sectarian school which provides elementary or secondary education (through Grade 12), or a comparable level of education, as determined under the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the service was performed,

4.7.5.4 Military service (other than qualified military service under Internal Revenue Code section 414(u)) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 recognized by such governmental plan.
In the case of service described in clause Rules 4.7.5.1, 4.7.5.2, or 4.7.5.3, such service will be nonqualified service if recognition of such service would cause a plan participant to receive a retirement benefit for the same service under more than one plan.
4.7.6 In the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer after December 31, 2001, to which Internal Revenue Code section 403(b)(13)(A) or 457(e)(17)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applies (without regard to whether the transfer is made between plans maintained by the same employer):
4.7.6.1 The limitations of subparagraph 10.16.7.5 Rule 4.7.4 will not apply in determining whether the transfer is for the purchase of permissive service credit, and
4.7.6.2 The distribution rules applicable under federal law to the Pension Fund will apply to such amounts and any benefits attributable to such amounts.
4.7.7 For an eligible plan participant, the limitation of Internal Revenue Code section 415(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not be applied to reduce the amount of permissive service credit which may be purchased to an amount less than the amount which was allowed to be purchased under the terms of the Delaware Code as in effect on August 5, 1997. For purposes of this subparagraph Rule 4.7.7, an eligible plan participant is an individual who first became a plan participant in the Pension Fund before January 1, 1998.

The Military Service credit provisions of this section are to be interpreted in accordance Section 5501(d), Chapter 55, Title 29 Del.C. §5501(d), so as not to diminish the rights granted under that section.

If a plan participant fails to apply for retirement benefits by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he or she reaches 70½ years of age or April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which he or she terminates employment, whichever is later, the Board will begin distributing the benefit as required by this section.

16.0 Civil Unions and DOMA
In applying the provisions of 13 Del.C. §§212 and 214, the Board shall interpret the term "spouse" in the provisions of Delaware law that apply to each state pension and benefit set forth in 29 Del.C. §8308(b) in accordance with the federal Defense of Marriage Act to the extent required by that law, federal preemption principles, and guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and to the extent necessary in order to preserve the qualified governmental plan status of each such state pension plan and benefit under sections 401(a) and 414(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or such other provision of the Internal Revenue Code as applicable. This provision shall apply in the same manner to the terms husband, wife, surviving spouse, survivor, widow, widower, and other terms, whether or not gender-specific, that denote or depend upon a spousal relationship.
"Application for Benefits". The term "date on which the application for such benefit is filed" as used in Section 5606, Chapter 56, Title 29 Del.C. §5606 shall mean the date on which the written documentation is received by the Office of Pensions or the Office of the Court of jurisdiction.
"Compensation". The word term "compensation" as used in Chapter 56, Title 29 Del.C. Ch. 56 shall mean total compensation prior to any payroll deductions, including but not limited to, deductions for contributions to the State's Deferred Compensation Program pursuant to Section 6055, Chapter 60, Title 29 Del.C. §6055 Compensation shall not include payments, which are in the nature of reimbursements or allowances for expenses.
2.1 Effective with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, and before January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of a plan participant which exceeds $150,000 (as indexed under Ssection 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining benefits or employee contributions. Effective only for the 1996 plan year, in determining the compensation of an employee eligible for consideration under this plan section the Rules of section 414(gq)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply, except that in applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the member and any lineal descendants of the employee who have not attained age nineteen (19) before the close of the year.
2.2 Effective with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of a plan participant which exceeds $200,000, as adjusted for cost-of-living increases in accordance with Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17)(B) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, may not be taken into account in determining benefits or employee contributions for any plan year. Annual compensation means compensation during the plan year or such other consecutive twelve (12) month period over which compensation is otherwise determined under the plan (the determination period). The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to annual compensation for the determination period that begins with or within such calendar year. If the determination period consists of fewer than twelve (12) months, the annual compensation limit is an amount equal to the otherwise applicable annual compensation limit multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the short determination period, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). If the compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a plan participant's contributions or benefits for the current plan year, the compensation for such prior determination period is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior period.
2.3 The limits referenced in paragraphs Rules 2.1 and 2.2 above apply only to years beginning after December 31, 1995, and only to individuals who first become plan participants in plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996. Individuals who become plan participants of before plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, are not subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17) Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Instead, pursuant to section 13212(d)(3)(A) of Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ("OBRA '93"), and the regulations issued under that section, the annual compensation in effect under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(17) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 does not apply to any such plan participant in any plan year.
3.1 Eligible rollover distribution:. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or the life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(9) Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income; and any other distribution that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during the year. Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution will not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However, such non-taxable portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Internal Revenue Code section 408(a) or (b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or, in addition, on or after January 1, 2007, to a qualified defined benefit plan described in Internal Revenue Code section 401(a) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or to an annuity contract described in Internal Revenue Code section 403(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of the distribution that is not so includible.
3.2 Eligible retirement plan:. An eligible retirement plan is any of the following that accepts the distributee's eligible rollover distribution:
3.2.1 aAn individual retirement account described in Internal Revenue Code section 408(a) Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

3.2.7 eEffective January 1, 2008, a Roth IRA described in Internal Revenue Code section 408A Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
3.3 Effective January 1, 2002, the definition of eligible rollover distribution also includes a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a domestic relations order, as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 414(p) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
3.4 Distributee:. A distributee includes an employee or former employee. It also includes the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Internal Revenue Code section 414(p) Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Effective July 1, 2007, a distributee further includes a nonspouse beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary as defined by Internal Revenue Code section 401(a)(9)(E) Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, a nonspouse beneficiary may rollover the distribution only to an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity established for the purpose of receiving the distribution and the account or annuity will be treated as an "inherited" individual retirement account or annuity.
4.1 Employee contributions paid to, and retirement benefits paid from, the Pension Fund may not exceed the annual limits on contributions and benefits, respectively, allowed by Internal Revenue Code section 415 Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2 For purposes of applying these limits only and for no other purpose, the definition of compensation where applicable will be compensation actually paid or made available during a limitation year, except as noted below and as permitted by Treasury Regulation section §1.415(c)-2), or successor regulation. Specifically, compensation will be defined as wages within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 3401(a) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and all other payments of compensation to an employee by an employer for which the employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement under Internal Revenue Code section 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052 Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Compensation will be determined without regard to any rules under Internal Revenue Code section 3401(a) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Internal Revenue Code section 3401(a)(2) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2.1 However, for limitation years beginning after December 31, 1997, compensation will also include amounts that would otherwise be included in compensation but for the an election under Internal Revenue Code sections 125(a), 402(e)(3), 402(h)(1)(B), 402(k), or 457(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986. For limitation years beginning after December 30, 2000, compensation will also include any elective amounts that are not includible in the gross income of the employee by reason of Internal Revenue Code section 132(f)(4) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2.2 The definition of compensation will exclude employee contributions picked up under Internal Revenue Code section 414(h)(2) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2.4 Compensation shall also include payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the member would have been able to use if employment had continued; and payments pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payments would have been paid to the member at the same time if the member had continued employment with the employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the member's gross income.
4.2.5 Any payments not described above are not considered compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within 2½ months following severance from employment, except for payments to the individual who does not currently perform services for the employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of section 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the employer rather than entering qualified military service.
4.2.46 "Back pay", within the meaning of Treasury Regulation. §1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the limitation year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
4.3 Before January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the limits specified in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in that section. On and after January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the dollar amount specified in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b)(1)(A) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.4 On and after January 1, 2009, for purposes of applying the limits under Internal Code section 415(b) (Limit) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the following will apply:
4.4.3 Thereafter, in any subsequent limitation year, the plan participant's annual benefit including any automatic cost of living increase applicable shall be tested under the then applicable benefit limit including any adjustment to the Code section 415(b)(1)(A) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 dollar limit under Code Section 415(d) and the regulations thereunder. and
4.5 In no event shall a plan participant's annual benefit payable from the Pension Fund in any limitation year be greater than the limit applicable at the annuity starting date, as increased in subsequent years pursuant to Code section 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder. If the form of benefit without regard to the automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life annuity or a qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by reducing the Code section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity starting date to adjusting the form of benefit an actuarially equivalent amount [determined using the assumptions specified in Treasury Regulation §1.415(b)-1(c)(2)(ii)] that takes into account the death benefits under the form of benefit as follows:
4.5.1.2 The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the same annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the form of benefit payable to the member, computed using a 5% interest assumption (or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables described in Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Rulings 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).
4.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the Board may modify a request by a plan participant to make a contribution to the Pension Fund if the amount of the contribution would exceed the limits provided in Internal Revenue Code section 415 Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by using the following methods:
4.6.1 If the law requires a lump sum payment for the purchase of service credit, the Board may establish a periodic payment plan for the plan participant to avoid a contribution in excess of the limits under Internal Revenue Code sections 415(c) or 415(n) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.6.2 If payment pursuant to paragraph 4.6.1 will not avoid a contribution in excess of the limits imposed by Internal Revenue Code section 415(c) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board may either reduce the plan participant's contribution to an amount within the limits of that section or refuse the plan participant's contribution.
4.7.1 The requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are met, determined by treating the accrued benefit derived from all such contributions as an annual benefit for purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 415(b) Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or
4.7.2 The requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 415(c) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are met, determined by treating all such contributions as annual additions for purposes of Code section 415(c) Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
For purposes of applying subparagraph Rule 4.7.1 the Pension Fund will not fail to meet the reduced limit under Internal Revenue Code section 415(b)(2)(C) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 solely by reason of this paragraph 4.7, and for purposes of applying subparagraph Rule 4.7.2 the Pension Fund will not fail to meet the percentage limitation under Internal Revenue Code section 415(c)(1)(B) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 solely by reason of this paragraph Rule 4.7.
4.7.3 For purposes of this paragraph (g) Rule 4.7 the term "permissive service credit" means service credit:
4.7.4.2 Any nonqualified service credit is taken into account under this paragraph Rule 4.7 before the plan participant has at least five years of participation under the Pension Fund.
4.7.5.1 Service (including parental, medical, sabbatical, and similar leave) as an employee of the Government of the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than military service or service for credit which was obtained as a result of a repayment described in Internal Revenue Code section 415(k)(3)) Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
4.7.5.2 Service (including parental, medical, sabbatical, and similar leave) as an employee (other than as an employee described in clause (i)) of an education organization described in Internal Revenue Code section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which is a public, private, or sectarian school which provides elementary or secondary education (through grade 12), or a comparable level of education, as determined under the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the service was performed,
4.7.5.4 Military service (other than qualified military service under Internal Revenue Code section 414(u)) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 recognized by such governmental plan.
4.7.6 In the case of service described in clause Rules 4.7.5.1, 4.7.5.2, or 4.7.5.3, such service will be nonqualified service if recognition of such service would cause a plan participant to receive a retirement benefit for the same service under more than one plan.
4.7.6.1 In the case of a trustee-to-trustee transfer after December 31, 2001, to which Internal Revenue Code section 403(b)(13)(A) or 457(e)(17)(A) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applies (without regard to whether the transfer is made between plans maintained by the same employer):
4.7.6.1. The limitations of subparagraph Rule 4.7.5 will not apply in determining whether the transfer is for the purchase of permissive service credit, and
4.7.6.1.2 The distribution rules applicable under federal law to the Pension Fund will apply to such amounts and any benefits attributable to such amounts.
4.7.6.2 For an eligible plan participant, the limitation of Internal Revenue Code section 415(c)(1) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not be applied to reduce the amount of permissive service credit which may be purchased to an amount less than the amount which was allowed to be purchased under the terms of the Delaware Code as in effect on August 5, 1997. For purposes of this subparagraph Rule 4.7.6.2 4.7.7, an eligible plan participant is an individual who first became a plan participant in the Pension Fund before January 1, 1998.
4.8 For purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 415 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the limitation year is the calendar year January 1 through December 31.
5.1 Effective December 12, 1994, notwithstanding any other provision of law, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service are governed by Internal Revenue Code section 414(u) Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. The Military Service credit provisions of this section are to be interpreted so as not to diminish any other rights relating to military service that may be granted under state law.
The plan year for the Pension Fund is the twelve (12) - month period beginning July 1.

2.1 Effective with respect to plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, and before January 1, 2002, the annual compensation of a plan participant which exceeds $150,000 (as indexed under Ssection 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) shall be disregarded for purposes of determining benefits or employee contributions. Effective only for the 1996 plan year, in determining the compensation of an employee eligible for consideration under this plan section, the Rules of Section 414(gq)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply, except that in applying such rules, the term "family" shall include only the spouse of the member and any lineal descendants of the employee who have not attained age nineteen (19) before the close of the year.

If the compensation for any prior determination period is taken into account in determining a plan participant's contributions or benefits for the current plan year, the compensation for such prior determination period is subject to the applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior period.
2.3 The limits referenced in paragraphs 10.14.1 2.1 and 10.14.2 2.2 above apply only to years beginning after December 31, 1995, and only to individuals who first become plan participants in plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996.

Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution will not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income.

4.2.2 The definition of compensation will exclude employee contributions picked up under Internal Revenue Code Ssection 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Compensation shall also include payments for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave that the member would have been able to use if employment had continued; and payments pursuant to a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan, but only if the payments would have been paid to the member at the same time if the member had continued employment with the employer and only to the extent that the payment is includible in the member's gross income.
Any payments not described above are not considered compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within 2½ months following severance from employment, except for payments to the individual who does not currently perform services for the employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of section 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the employer rather than entering qualified military service.
4.2.4 "Back pay", within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Treasury Regulation §1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the limitation year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
4.3 Before January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the limits specified in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in that section.

4.4.1 aA plan participant's applicable Limit will be applied to the plan participant's annual benefit in the first limitation year without regard to any automatic cost of living increases;
4.4.2 tTo the extent the plan participant's annual benefit equals or exceeds the Limit, the plan participant will no longer be eligible for cost of living increases until such time as the benefit plus the accumulated increases are less than the Limit; and
4.4.3 tThereafter, in any subsequent limitation year, the plan participant's annual benefit including any automatic cost of living increase applicable shall be tested under the then applicable benefit limit including any adjustment to the Code Ssection 415(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 dollar limit under Code Ssection 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder; and.
4.5 In no event shall a plan participant's annual benefit payable from the Pension Fund in any limitation year be greater than the limit applicable at the annuity starting date, as increased in subsequent years pursuant to Code Ssection 415(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder. If the form of benefit without regard to the automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life annuity of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by reducing the Code Section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity starting date adjusting the form of benefit to an actuarially equivalent amount ([determined using the assumptions specified in Treasury Regulation §1.415(b)-1(c)(2)(ii))] that takes into account the death additional benefits under the form of benefit. as follows:

4.6.1 If the law requires a lump sum payment for the purchase of service credit, the Board may establish a periodic payment plan for the plan participant to avoid a contribution in excess of the limits under Internal Revenue Code Ssections 415(c) or 415(n) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.6.2 If payment pursuant to paragraph Rule 4.6.1 will not avoid a contribution in excess of the limits imposed by Internal Revenue Code Ssection 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Board may either reduce the plan participant's contribution to an amount within the limits of that section or refuse the plan participant's contribution.

2.3 The limits referenced in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 above apply only to years beginning after December 31, 1995, and only to individuals who first become plan participants in plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996. Individuals who become plan participants of before plan years beginning on and after January 1, 1996, are not subject to the limits of Internal Revenue Code Ssection 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code. Instead, pursuant to Ssection 13212(d)(3)(A) of OBRA '93 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, and the regulations issued under that section, the annual compensation in effect under Internal Revenue Code Ssection 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 does not apply to any such plan participant in any plan year.
This section applies to distributions made on and after January 1, 1993. A distributee may elect to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a transfer made from the Pension Fund.
3.1 Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or the life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten (10) years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Internal Revenue Code Ssection 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income; and any other distribution that is reasonably expected to total less than $200 during the year. Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution will not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includible in gross income. However, such non-taxable portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 408(a) or (b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or, in addition, on or after January 1, 2007, to a qualified defined benefit plan described in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or to an annuity contract described in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, that agrees to separately account for amounts so transferred (and earnings thereon), including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution that is includible in gross income and the portion of the distribution that is not so includible.

4.2 For purposes of applying these limits only and for no other purpose, the definition of compensation where applicable will be compensation actually paid or made available during a limitation year, except as noted below and as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section §1.415(c)-(2), or successor regulation. Specifically, compensation will be defined as wages within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Ssection 3401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and all other payments of compensation to an employee by an employer for which the employer is required to furnish the employee a written statement under Internal Revenue Code Ssections 6041(d), 6051(a)(3) and 6052 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Compensation will be determined without regard to any rules under Internal Revenue Code Ssection 3401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed (such as the exception for agricultural labor in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 3401(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
4.2.4 Back pay, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Treasury Regulation § 1.415(c)-2(g)(8), shall be treated as compensation for the limitation year to which the back pay relates to the extent the back pay represents wages and compensation that would otherwise be included under this definition.
An employee who is in qualified military service (within the meaning of section 414(u)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) shall be treated as receiving compensation from the employer during such period of qualified military service equal to (i) the compensation the employee would have received during such period if the employee were not in qualified military service, determined based on the rate of pay the employee would have received from the employer but for the absence during the period of qualified military service, or (ii) if the compensation the employee would have received during such period was not reasonably certain, the employee's average compensation from the employer during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the qualified military service (or, if shorter, the period of employment immediately preceding the qualified military service).
4.3 Before January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the limits specified in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in that section. On and after January 1, 1995, a plan participant may not receive an annual benefit that exceeds the dollar amount specified in Internal Revenue Code Ssection 415(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, subject to the applicable adjustments in Internal Revenue Code Section § 415(b).

If the form of benefit without regard to the automatic benefit increase feature is not a straight life annuity or a qualified joint and survivor annuity, then the preceding sentence is applied by reducing the Code Section 415(b) limit applicable at the annuity starting date adjusting the form of benefit to an actuarially equivalent amount ([determined using the assumptions specified in Treasury Regulation §1.415(b)-1(c)(2)(ii))] that takes into account the death additional benefits under the form of benefit. as follows:

The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable, computed using a 5.5 percent interest assumption (or the applicable statutory interest assumption) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Ruling 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986); or
The annual amount of the straight life annuity commencing at the annuity starting date that has the same actuarial present value as the particular form of benefit payable (computed using the applicable interest rate for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(3) (the 30-year Treasury rate (prior to January 1 2007, using the rate in effect for the month prior to retirement, and on and after January 1, 2007, using the rate in effect for the first day of the plan year with a one-year stabilization period)) and (i) for years prior to January 1, 2009, the applicable mortality tables for the distribution under Treasury Regulation § 1.417(e)-1(d)(2) (the mortality table specified in Revenue Ruling 2001-62 or any subsequent Revenue Ruling modifying the applicable provisions of Revenue Ruling 2001-62), and (ii) for years after December 31, 2008, the applicable mortality tables described in section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Notice 2008-85 or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service guidance implementing section 417(e)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), divided by 1.05.

Mother complains after Santa tells girl that Hillary Clinton was 'naughty'
By: Justin Boggs

<p>NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 15: Santa Claus and the Rockettes perform on stage during the 2016 Radio City Christmas Spectacular Opening Night at Radio City Music Hall on November 15, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Pont/Getty Images)</p>
Even Santa Claus can't stay away from American politics. A man portraying the North Pole resident at a Sanford, Florida mall told a 10-year-old girl that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was on his "naughty list"
While Santa Clause seemed to have thought the joke was funny, the girl's mother was not laughing. According WKMG-TV, the woman reported the Tuesday night incident to mall officials.
WKMG-TV added that the Seminole Towne Center mall has apologized to the mother. The Santa was not a mall employee, instead was contracted through the Noerr Program.
While multiple reports indicated the mall Santa was fired, the mall said that the Santa has been relocated.
The Seminole Towne Center issued a statement in response to Tuesday's incident:
"We take customer feedback seriously and we work with our retailers and partners to improve upon situations that require attention. The Santa referenced in recent reports is still employed by the Santa vendor, in a different location. Santa was given additional training to ensure that he remains in the character of Santa during all future appearances. Santa is a symbol of peace, joy and goodwill for all and we are pleased that we are able to bring this cherished symbol to the communities we serve." | {

As the name suggested this was a muddy event for children and was very well organised and safe for the kids with all the obstacles just taxing enough without being too daunting.
It said the course was 3k but it certainly didn't feel like it as the kids sped around with ease. Nodge even thought about doing a second round which was perfectly acceptable … although I bailed in favour of a well earned g&t at a lovely little pub called The Compasses Inn in Gomshall. There was a great picnic area and kids play although being next to a shallow stream, the children didn't even notice the swings and slides. They were too busy finding 'lobster' and other creatures of the deep!
It was a fantastic day out and certainly worth doing.
Big thanks to the organisers, supporters and marshals. Oh – and if you do plan to enter … don't forget to take a picnic blanket and picnic – there is tonnes of space to enjoy the day.
We will see you on the 23rd September for sure! | {

Interior Dept. Loosens Offshore-Drilling Safety Rules Dating From Deepwater Horizon

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday made public its rollback of a major offshore-drilling safety regulation, significantly weakening an Obama-era rule that was put in place after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, which killed 11 people and sent 4.9 million barrels of oil gushing into the sea, causing the worst oil spill in American history.
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, a former oil lobbyist who was confirmed by the Senate last month to head the agency that oversees the nation's public lands and waters, announced the plan Thursday afternoon in Port Fourchon, La., the vast industrial hub that serves as the onshore base for most companies that drill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The oil industry praised the move. Environmental groups warned that the rollbacks could pave the way for similar crises to happen again.
The weakened safety rules come as the Trump administration has also sought to vastly expand offshore drilling in the nation's waters. Last year the Interior Department proposed opening almost the entire United States coastline to drilling, although Mr. Bernhardt recently said the administration may delay those plans while court challenges are addressed.
Among the safety changes put in place Thursday is a significant reduction in the requirement for oil companies to test fail-safe devices called blowout preventers, which are intended to be a last line of defense against disasters like Deepwater Horizon. In the 2010 fire and monthslong oil leak, the failure of a blowout preventer, an immense device resting on the seabed and extremely difficult to access, was at the heart of the crisis.
The new rules include some changes that had been sought by the American Petroleum Institute, the lobbying arm of the oil industry. A bipartisan commission appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the Deepwater Horizon disaster had specifically cautioned federal regulators against following the institute's guidance, writing in its 2014 report that "API-proposed safety standards have increasingly failed to reflect 'best industry practices' and have instead expressed the 'lowest common denominator.'"
Mr. Bernhardt praised the new rule as one that would allow Mr. Trump to continue his policy of aggressively expanding oil production without sacrificing safety.
"Today's final rule puts safety first, both public and environmental safety, in a common sense way," he said. "Incorporating the best available science, best practices and technological innovations of the past decade, the rule eliminates unnecessary regulatory burdens while maintaining safety and environmental protection."
Erik Milito, a vice president of the American Petroleum Institute, wrote in a statement, "This revised well control rule will help to further manage risks and better protect workers and the environment."
Environmental groups criticized the changes.

Referring to the fact that the new rules include changes sought by the American Petroleum Institute, Bob Deans, a spokesman for the advocacy group the Natural Resources Defense Council said, "The Trump administration, in other words, wants to hand over responsibility for industry safety to the very entity the commission warned against entrusting with that responsibility."
Environmental advocates said the rollback did not entirely erase the protections added by the previous administration. "This doesn't take us back to before the Obama rules," said Chris Eaton, an attorney with the group Earthjustice. "But it still allows another Deepwater Horizon to happen."
After the 2010 fire, Mr. Obama commissioned a bipartisan panel to investigate the cause and recommend policy changes meant to prevent such disasters. Among the key recommendations was the release by the Interior Department of tougher safety regulation on the construction, oversight and operation of offshore oil wells and other equipment, particularly blowout preventers.
The Deepwater Horizon explosion was caused in part when the buckling of a section of drill pipe led to the malfunction of a blowout preventer on a BP well known as Macondo.
In Mr. Obama's final year in office, the Interior Department issued new safety rules on undersea wells and blowout preventers. In Mr. Trump's first year of office, he announced his plans to loosen those rules. Those plans were detailed in a 176-page draft published by the Interior Department in the fall, and finalized in the 289-page plan made public on Thursday.
In the final rule, the Interior Department noted that the changes were expected to save the oil industry about $824 million over 10 years.
"The changes in the new rule allow for producers to be nimbler, with more adaptive guidelines based on the most up-to-date insights and innovative technology," said Barry Russell, chief executive of the Independent Petroleum Association of America.
In addition to reduced testing of blowout preventers — the Obama-era rules required 30-minute tests every 14 days, whereas the new rules reduce that to 5-minute tests every 21 days — the new rules also eliminate a requirement that companies report some of those safety-test results to the Interior Department.
Beyond that, the rule removes a requirement for an Interior Department approved independent expert to verify safety measures and equipment used in offshore drilling operations. And it removes a requirement that drilling operators provide real-time data from wells to onshore observers.
The final rule will become effective 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register, which is expected to happen this week or next week.

Pathways to Digital Justice
This project is part of the World Economic Forum's Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Data Policy Platform
Led by the Global Future Council on Data Policy, in collaboration with the Global Future Council on Media, Entertainment and Sport and the Global Future Council on AI for Humanity
The Challenge
From doing business to staying informed of the news, we rely on access to information 24/7. But what happens when that information is incorrect or, worse, targets us in an unjust manner with real consequences? When we talk about disinformation, we often talk about it as a political phenomenon, but it is increasingly more direct. Whether in the form of fake news, deep-fake videos, defamatory content, inaccurate information, and whether spread as misinformation or by administrative error, it can have harmful consequences. Furthermore, it is difficult to remedy since there are limited ways to seek justice in a globally digitized world. There are a range of reasons why justice is hard to come by, including technical architectures, confusion over jurisdictions and market interests, to name but a few. If someone does need to seek recourse, where do they start? It's a daunting and often expensive process to fix the problem, if that is even possible, let alone seek redress. Henry Kissinger famously asked: "Whom do I call when I want to call Europe?" Are we now asking the same question when we need to call companies to remove or correct inaccurate information? Is it possible to find a one-size-fits-all solution to what has become a systemic issue?
A significant and meaningful opportunity exists to design technical, governance and market solutions to restore trust, integrity and justice in digital service providers. There is an established history on how to build systems that realize the responsibilities of different parties, albeit imperfectly, which offer frameworks to consider, both as design requirements for top-down approaches, as well as applicable tests for user access and success. Essentially, the larger and more fundamental the issue affecting people's rights, the higher the bar for validating the approach and accepting liability for its impacts. Further, to ensure that those systems maintain their integrity and independence, it's important to have accessible dispute resolution and professional stewardship infrastructure for those who can't represent their own interests. Duty of care is another key legal construct that will help to further conceptualize the criticality of effective recourse measures and digital due process rights. Duty of care is the common law term describing the responsibilities that we as people owe each other, and while the nature of business and the market has evolved in the digital era, little has changed. The concept of duties remains a useful tool and offers up questions that allow us to define responsible governance in digital ecosystems.

3 tech design principles to help curb digital repression
Activists and journalists from marginalized populations are often censored on social media due to algorithm bias. Three tech design principles can help.
Evîn Cheikosman, Emily Ratté, and Marcus Burke 13 Jul 2021
Digital harm is on the rise – here's how we can give victims a pathway to justice
New forms of harm require new forms of redress. We need cohesive, systemic mechanisms that consider the rights and duties of actors in the data ecosystem.

With many concerned people purchasing guns there has been huge quantities of Kalashnikovs sold. Yet, the frenzy toward the Kalashnikov may not be as pertinent as many people think it is. It could be useful for the buyers to keep in mind the design concept of the ubiquitous gun.
No one will ever question the AK reliability; there is overwhelming evidence of it. This thing will work in about any circumstance no matter how bad the environment or the maintenance skills of the operator. Anyone who has to face a group armed with this effective weapon should be seriously concerned.
This being said it could be of interest to put it back in context to discover its limitations. This gun was developed as an infantry weapon; what is often overlooked is the Russian infantry concept when it was designed (1947) was to put a lot of man power on the line and equip this man power with as much firepower as possible. | {

Tyler Perry Pens Open Letter About Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown
July 17th, 2015 by K104
Harpo/OWNTyler Perry was a close friend of the late Whitney Houston. He even visited the Atlanta-area facility where her only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is receiving medical care since being found unresponsive in her bathtub on January 31. Still, the movie mogul wants the media to leave him alone regarding Bobbi Kristina and the current state of her health.
In an open letter posted to Facebook Friday, he wrote: "This morning I woke up with Whitney on my mind. I couldn't help but think about all that she must have dreamed for her child. I know this was not her dream…"
"And as difficult as this time is for the people that love both Whitney and Krissi, what makes it more egregious is the blatant disrespect, lies, and ignorance that are rapidly printed in this awful time," he continued. "For some reason, it has become human nature in our society to look for, seek out, and celebrate darkness, glory in tragedy, and enjoy reading and reporting it."
He added, "It makes me sad to know that everybody wants to be the first to report something awful. So much so, that they find it OK to speak death onto those who are still alive. May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Krissi's family, but also to the other families that are there in this place. Not only is Krissi at the center but there are several other families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones at the same time. It's heartbreaking to think that even in a time like this, this child is still not allowed any peace."
"I assure you, the family will issue an official statement if something changes. Until then, can we just pray for Krissi, and the Houston and Brown families?" he concluded.
Bobbi Kristina is Whitney's daughter with R&B singer Bobby Brown.
Tyler's friendship with Whitney began when the late singer moved to Atlanta. He also told Oprah Winfrey in a 2013 interview that he failed at an attempt to get Houston into a drug rehab facility after befriending. He helped also Bobbi Kristina break into acting by casting her in his TV show Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse back in 2012, months after her mother passed away after being found unresponsive in similar fashion — in a bathtub.
Bobbi Kristina, 22, has been in hospice care since June.

Startup Funding: ETtech Deals Digest: Winter funding continues to cool off startups
The funding winter for Indian startups, which began in 2022, shows no signs of abating in early 2023. Companies are still struggling to find financing to fuel their ideas as global inflation, rising interest rates and macroeconomic headwinds have investors wary .
According to a report by PwC India, funding for Indian start-ups decreased by 33% to $24 billion in 2022 from the previous year.
Early deals accounted for 60-62% of total funding in 2021 and 2022 by volume, the report said, and the average ticket size was $4 million.
Here is a list of the startups that raised money this week:
ETech
Enough raises $40 million in funding led by Investcorp: Wakefit, a direct-to-consumer (D2C) mattress and furniture maker, raised $40 million led by Investcorp. Existing investors Sequoia Capital India, Verlinvest and SIG also participated in the round. The company will use the money to improve its deliveries and factory operations, and to make progress in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Unicorn EdTech plans to use the new capital to fund organic and inorganic growth ambitions.
B2B FMCG Startup ApnaKlub Raised $16 Million: ApnaKlub, a B2B wholesale fast-moving consumer goods startup, has raised an additional $6 million from TrueScale Capital and ICMG Partners. Flourish Ventures, Sequoia India's Surge, Blume Ventures and Whiteboard Capital also participated in the funding round. This is a continuation of the $10 million tour ApnaKlub raised from Tiger Global late last year, bringing their total on the tour to $16 million.
Whole Truth collects $15 million: Health food brand The Whole Truth has raised $15 million in its second round, led by Sequoia Capital India. Other investors in the round include current backers Matrix Partners India and startup venture firm Sauce.vc. It is estimated to be worth around 600 crore rupees, or about $73 million.
Agricultural technology company Kroppen raises $13.7 million from Google: Agritech startup Cropin has raised ₹113 crore (about $13.7 million) in its Series D round, from new investors Google and JSR Corporation as well as existing investors ABC Impact and Chiratae Ventures. The funds will help expand Cropin Cloud, which the company launched in September 2022 to standardize its software and applications that meet the growing demand for digitization and predictive intelligence in the global agriculture sector.
Brick & Bolt raises $10 million: Brick & Bolt, the online construction marketplace, said it has raised $10 million from global venture capital firms Accel and Celesta Capital. The startup said it plans to use the fund to expand to 12 cities in the next 15 months. It also plans to strengthen its technical group and strengthen its leadership team.

Day 4: Owensboro, KY
The first European descdant to settle in Owensboro was frontiersman William Smeathers or Smothers in 1797, from whom the Riverfront park is named. The settlement was originally known as Yellow Banks from the color of the land beside the Ohio River. The Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered at what is today's Owensboro prior to departing on their famous travels. In 1817, Yellow Banks was formally established under the name Owensborough, named after Col. Abraham Owen. In 1893, the spelling of the name was shortened to its current Owensboro. There have been several distillers, mainly of bourbon whiskey, in and around the city. Owensboro is also home to famous actor Johnny Depp, as he is a member of an old and prodigious Kentucky family.
Day 5: Henderson, KY
Framed by nature, the area comprising Henderson, Kentucky, originally known as the great hunting and fishing mecca of American Indians, was first seen by a group of men including Thomas Walker and Daniel Boone, who found their way into the area through the Cumberland Gap. Henderson's wooded hills and lush vegetation attracted legendary naturalist, John James Audubon, who operated a mill on the riverfront from 1810 to 1819, just one block from the center of the present business district. Thousands of people annually visit Audubon State Park and Museum, boasting the largest collection of John James Audubon original art and artifacts. A vibrant downtown, river up close, and with nature and history as its backdrop, Henderson is a progressive, small Southern town that also has its heritage deeply embedded within its borders and embraced by its citizens.
Day 6: Paducah, KY
Paducah embraces their harmonious history between the European settlers and the Padoucca Indians native to the area. The city is located at the confluence of the Ohio and the Tennessee Rivers and because of this, it is often called the Four-Rivers Area due to the proximity of the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee, and Mississippi Rivers. This prime location has played a major role in Paducah's history, as transportation was easily accessible – the economy was strong and travelers were frequent!
Day 7: Dover, TN
Stewart County is a small county enriched with history, picture-perfect scenery, and welcoming citizens. Guests are greeted with nature's beauty and wildlife surrounding the city. Located at the county's heart is Dover, its county seat and the home of Fort Donel¬son National Park. This peaceful, picturesque town is the location of one of the most historic battles of the Civil War – a battle that changed the direction of the war for the North. Today, bald eagles call this park their home as and soar through the skies; a true symbol of freedom. Although small and rural, Dover has much to offer her visitors who can enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many local restaurants or take in the comforting hometown charm found throughout the city. Dover and Stewart County are the perfect gateway to a simple, cozy, quiet, country experience.
Day 8: Leisurely River Cruising
There is always plenty to do between dawn and dusk on the river and today is the perfect day to enjoy the many public spaces and activities that are available to you onboard.

Packed schedule is impacting standard of international cricket, says England captain Ben Stokes
England Test captain Ben Stokes believes the quality of international cricket is being harmed by the sport's scheduling.
2022-12-26 Packed schedule is impacting standard of international cricket, says England captain Ben Stokes
Stokes retired from one-day internationals in the English summer, saying it was "unsustainable" for him to play in all three formats.
Speaking to the Today programme on BBC Radio Four, Stokes, who played a leading role in England's 50-over World Cup win in 2019, said: "It really has an impact on the multi-format players and people who want to play all three forms.
"Obviously you want international cricket to be at the highest standard whenever you possibly can but over the last few years I think you've seen a lot of different squads being picked, a lot of different players coming in, coming out, being rested.
"And I don't think that's the way for international cricket to go. The scheduling and everything like that I think just doesn't get as much attention given to it as it should."
England have played five Test series in 2022, winning the last three after Stokes took over as captain and Brendon McCullum as coach.
Their commitment to attacking cricket has revitalised the team, and the renewed excitement it has generated in the format has been heartening for Stokes.
"Over the last few years we've seen Test cricket be spoken about in a way which I don't like, losing its attention to the fans and everybody with all the new formats and the T20 franchise competitions around the world," said Stokes.
"We do understand there's so many opportunities out there for individuals away from Test cricket but, for me, Test cricket is so, so important for this game and always should be. I absolutely love playing Test cricket.
"I felt as if we could do something different. Taking results and everything like that away from the worries and the mindset of the people in the squads I think was a great starting point.
"If people turn up and can be really excited about the day of cricket that they're going to come and watch then I feel as if you've already won.
"We know we've got a really special opportunity here to do something bigger than ourselves and we've got a group of players who understand that." | {

People From Around The World Share Terrible First Dates They've Witnessed
Home > Lifestyle > People From Around The World Share Terrible First Dates They've Witnessed
We've all been on nightmare first dates. I'm talking dates that make you wish it was socially acceptable to simply stand up in the middle of the restaurant and say: "I actually hate you. I am leaving forever now. Goodbye." Unfortunately, most people don't have the gall to walk out and are forced to run down the clock until the bill comes.
The only real upside is that these folks got to witness these horrible dates, and they went online to share the stories with all of us. We hope these stories make you laugh a little and remind you that everyone who puts themselves out there ends up having an awkward encounter or two. But it's worth the trial and error to finally find that special someone.

35. The chaperone
Work at a bubble tea restaurant right near a college. It's a nice hangout spot with dim lighting, comfortable furniture, and board games. A lot of first dates happen here. Probably the worst I've ever seen was this guy that looked somewhere between 17 and 19 years old who met up with this girl around the same age. They got teas and took a seat at a table and played a board game and talked.
His mother sat at the table next to him the entire time and just stared them down. It made me feel so bad for him, but the icing on the cake is when she goes up to them at 8:30 and tells them that it's time for the two of them, her and her son that is, to head home. The guy is visibly mad but says goodbye to her and follows his mom out.
Girl comes up to order another tea and I asked her about it. She was more than happy to fill me and the other girls in. This lady had essentially injected herself into the date, interrupting their conversation and critiquing her son's behavior.

34. This poor guy, seriously
This isn't as bad as some of the others but the guy and girl arrived separately and it seemed like they were meeting for the first time at the restaurant. They sat down then the girl excused herself and went to the bathroom. The guy ordered drinks for them both while she was gone then, after like 30 mins, ordered two meals. It was so obvious she wasn't coming back but he kept calling her and eventually just left all the food and drink untouched and paid the bill.

33. Pull your punches
Bartended for a decade. For a while, I was at a medium range Italian restaurant. More than once I saw a first date go awry because one of the two drank too much.
Most memorable was a woman who started downing punches. They were at a table so I couldn't see them and I guess the waiter had forgotten his "red light, yellow light" training (I don't know if they still do that). After the sixth one I asked if these were all going to the same person and he said yes. I was like, oh crap. Sure enough, girl ended up puking all over my bathroom and locking herself in. When we got the door open she was passed out and there was puke everywhere including all over her. No cab would touch her so the guy ended up taking her home.
He came in a week later and said they were going on another date. I was skeptical. They've been married for about 15 years and are absurdly happy. She avoids punch.

32. Running commentary
Happened at my former restaurant. Reservation for 6:00, young guy comes in a few minutes early, tells me he's kind of nervous because it's a first date and he hasn't had many before, bla bla bla, kind of sweet really. Anyways, girl arrives about half-an-hour late, and proceeds to get very, very hammered.
About mid-way through the meal, she answers her phone, takes the call, and starts talking about her date, in front of her date, saying stuff like "well, he's not usually my type, I don't exactly like him, but I felt like why not", right in front of him. Young man looks so discouraged, walks up to me, pays his bill, and leaves.
He's a really nice guy, he's come to the place I work at now a few times.

31. Service with a smile
I work at a fairly nice Italian restaurant, where we do a lot of business. One night a man who I was not even serving came up to me while I was punching an order in on the computer and hands me $20 and a napkin with a phone number on it.
He proceeds to tell me, "I am on the worst date of my life, this woman is horrendous and I have to get out of here. Take this $20 and please go to the nearest phone and call me and tell me that I have to get home right away. I don't care what excuse you make up, I just gotta get out of here."
Initially I thought he was kidding until 2 minutes later the guy who was serving him came up to me to tell me how wicked this woman was and how he could tell the guy didn't wanna be there. I promptly called that guy as soon as I had a free minute.
One of my shining achievements as a server.

30. Striking out
I once had a guy come sit at my bar who was waiting for his blind date. He orders a couple of drinks to calm his nerves. Well, he probably should have slowed it down to keep his mouth from working faster than his brain… Anywho…She shows up and is waaaaaay out of his league. She is absolutely beautiful. She orders a drink and they start talking. I come back to check on them and I hear him talking about how much he hates children. He was saying things like how he hopes he never has any, and that he will never be stuck taking care of them, and how he wishes that kids couldn't be taken into public places so that he wouldn't have to be around them.
She looked him dead in the eye and said, "Well I have a daughter, and I love her very much." She grabbed her purse and walked out on him. …The look on his face was absolutely priceless.

29. At least there's a happy ending
I was a waiter as a first job.
It was an attractive young woman and an average-looking man. First off, these people were 30 and I have no clue why they decided to go to Applebee's for dinner.
The guy was wearing plaid sleep pants and a over-sized red zip-up Columbia. The woman was dressed more nicely, but it was still casual. All goes well until it comes time for entrées. This guy orders a ton of ribs (a few full racks) and refuses the girl her original order of a house sirloin, which was only about $6, less than a fifth of his order. The man orders a $4 salad and a water for her. The woman stops talking completely while the man talks about some crazy party he went to. The man guzzles a few Strawberry Quencher Iced teas, says "See ya Friday, beeyotch!" and leaves her with the bill.
She said the guy seemed nice when they talked on Tinder, but was very uncomfortable with him in real life, and afraid to say something. A co-worker and I paid for her meal, and later she and the same co-worker starting dating, and they are engaged now.

28. On to the next one
Served a couple a few months ago. Every time I walked over, he would always be the one talking, and she would just be sitting there not having a good time. At the end I asked if it was one bill or separate and she immediately piped up "SEPARATE". I go and take his payment, and as I hand over the Debit machine to the girl, I see the guy take his phone out and start swiping through Tinder.

27. Pizza the Hut
A few years back I was working at Pizza Hut as a driver. We had the smallest store in the area, and there were no booths or tables for customers. You come in to pay and leave. There is one small bench barely able to seat two inside the door. This "couple," probably freshman, come in and the lad nervously orders a single medium pizza. The whole time ordering it, he was trying to be very literate and use a bunch of old English sounding phrases to sound appealing or smart or something.
Fast forward the 10 minutes of cooking time he spent crammed on that tiny bench with the girl, who was visually uncomfortable, but also either too polite or too nervous to leave. I was hoping they'd leave and take it to a car or to the park but no. He started trying to hand feed her pizza. On a bench too small to comfortably seat two. With three to four customers in line less than two feet in front of them, and drivers constantly having to step over their legs to get out of the store.
In-between the cringy "want another bite?" offers, she was practically shaking at this point and closing her eyes out of embarrassment. That was a big mistake, because he slips in for a kiss instead of pizza. Regrettably, it worked and she threw up on the rest of the pizza in his lap. She bolts and runs off, he tries to order another pizza to go, because "she didn't get to finish it, she'll like it if I bring her another."

26. That's not a tip
I was working at a Mexican restaurant at the time. I was waiting on a couple and I could tell it was a first date by the questions I heard them asking each other. Anyway, towards the end of their meal there was this Hispanic girl sweeping next to their table and the woman looks at her, holds out the remains on her plate and says, "would you like to take this home to feed your kids?" I stood there in complete shock. This woman spoke no English, but she could tell this random woman was completely degrading her. The sad thing is she seemed like she really thought she was doing a good deed. Her date looked so embarrassed.

25. There's something going on here I don't quite understand…
Olive Garden, around 2014 or so, from like 7:30 – close on a weeknight.
Middle-aged man of sub average attractiveness was sitting alone at a table with a glass of water, insisting that his date would be "just a few minutes, there's traffic". At around 9:15, manager had to come out and let him know that the restaurant would close at 10, and if he'd like to place a food order, he should probably do it now. He ordered a bruschetta appetizer, and said again that his date was on her way and they'd order when she got there.
9:45, this BEAUTIFUL woman walks in and awkwardly stands by his table. I couldn't hear the conversation they had, but the man then asked for a box for the appetizer and they wound up leaving together without her even sitting down.

24. "I'm different than other guys"
Once witnessed a date where the dude talked about how special he was and how his mind wasn't like other people's for the entire date. The girl was politely nodding along and every time she tried to get a word in, he'd cut her off. Absolutely brutal.

23. Cheap date
I'm a waitress at a mid-range priced bar/grill. Just yesterday, a younger couple came in, and as I greet them I ask if they want anything besides water. Conversation is as follows.
Girl: May I have a Coke? Or Pepsi?
Boy: God, Erin. I'm paying.
Girl: Water will be fine actually.
My heart immediately sank, because you bet your butt he tipped less than 10% too.

22. No such thing as a free meal?
I work at a pretty high end steak house. I sat a table of two and when I greeted them, assuming they were a couple. It took them quite a while to order their food — I had to go back quite a few times and ask if they were ready. After an hour of them talking, ordering cocktails, and looking at the menu, they finally ordered. The woman ordered a filet mignon and the guy ordered our most expensive steak.
Right before their food came out, I saw the guy get up and walk towards the bathroom. My coworkers ran their food to their table and the woman sat there with all the food in front of her. I thought he was coming back soon, but around 20 minutes went by and there was no sign of him.
My manager walked over to me and asked me what was up with them. I said the guy was in the bathroom. My manager went and asked her if she wanted us to keep the food under the warmer. She said yes, and the food was under the warmer for maybe an hour while she sat at the table alone.
I walked over to her, and asked if everything was alright. She immediately broke down, said it was their first date and that they met on Tinder. Apparently she told him that a steakhouse was a little much for a first date and suggested coffee instead, but he said no. As they were sitting there talking, he looked at his phone and said "my daughter has an emergency" and he quickly got up and left. She was texting him after and he never replied. This girl bawled to me for 20 minutes, repeatedly saying "what's wrong with me?" I had to reassure her he doesn't know what he's missing blah blah.
I went over to my manager and asked what we should do about the check. He said he was stuck, because it was a $250 tab and that's too much to just not have her pay. After a few minutes of convincing him, I got him to take everything off the bill. I boxed up all the food (including his steak and sides), brought it over to her and told her to enjoy her night. She stopped crying, thanked me, and left.

21. Why is he proud of this?
I witnessed a couple on their first date having a few drinks. They started making out by the third. Dude was crying by the fourth. He started sucking on her finger. Then he cried again and abruptly ran out of the bar and down the street. She paid.
Then this dude came back to the restaurant two weeks later. I pretended not to recognize him to be nice, but he brought it up! "I think you served me on a date two weeks ago." "Uh, I dunno man I serve a lot of people." "Yeah, it was you, remember? I cried and ran away?" Dude, why are you doing this?

20. Meant to be together
Worst one I ever saw… two people who were probably perfect for each other; they were both completely self absorbed. How completely? They both started stories and kept telling them at the same time. They weren't even listening, just talking at each other. I was so enraptured by the sheer insanity of it that I didn't do anything for like 45 minutes as they both just yapped away, barely stopping to breathe.

19. I'm dating a fancy lawyer!
Waiting tables at a fairly high-end place. My recently divorced brother's ex-wife came in with her new "rich lawyer" boyfriend – she knew I worked there.
Lawyer-boy's credit card was declined and she had to pick up the tab.

18. Made it worse, then made it better
When I was in high school, my college-aged sister took me to a concert. While we were waiting for the show to start, we noticed a guy and girl in front of us who were clearly on a first date. Their conversation was so awkward that it literally devolved into talking about the weather. Brutal.
Because we're terrible people, my sister and I decided to make fun of the couple by mimicking their embarrassing conversation. After a few minutes of our antics, the guy half-turned his head toward us with a look of pure desperation on his face, as if to say, "For the love of god, please don't make this nightmare worse than it already is. I'm begging you."
We stopped. A few weeks later, my sister came home from a party and told me, "Remember that guy we made fun of at the concert? I just met him. We're going out on a date!" They are now married with 4 children.

17. You're too poor to date me
I work at a country club that is up to its ears in old money that uses said old money to make more new money –the membership fees cost more than a year at my university. To say money is not an issue there would be an understatement.
Anyways, I was serving a young couple and the power imbalance was phenomenal. She was the daughter of one of the board members and the entire staff knew her (read: her father's) club account was major money. And the gent, well he wasn't a member, and certainly looked like he was just the average broke college student. He was wearing plain but nice clothes and she was dressed to the nines in fashion.
The date seemed to go smoothly enough, nothing out of the ordinary. Until she gets up and leaves the table before I have brought out the bill. I bring the bill to the counter (knowing it is well over $300 worth of food and drinks, all things SHE insisted on ordering –2 bottles of top shelf wine, neither finished–two steaks, when he asked for the chicken and she insisted on him eating steak "like a man").
He solemnly goes to pull out his wallet and starts tearing up, apologizing that he won't be able to tip. I mean, I've never had a customer cry over not being able to tip. And he further explained he was a server too and that she didn't know he wasn't rich and she left because he had told her about his scholarship.
I was flabbergasted. And kindly reminded him that at this country club we do not take credit cards nor cash, we only charge to accounts. And so her father got a hefty bill. It was entirely satisfying.
Last I heard, her father cut her off. I can't help but smile at all the life lessons she is learning — like working to go on dates.

16. This makes me furious
I own a bakery, I see a lot of awful first coffee dates and awful people in general, but there's one that will always be the worst for me.
This happened at my bakery maybe six months into our first year. Two boys come in, chatting normally, clearly on their first date. They're both young, maybe 15 at most, and adorably nervous. They order at the counter and go find a table, sitting close. One of them starts holding the other's hand, playing with his fingers, just being cute.
All of a sudden this woman comes up and starts berating one of the boys. It was his mother. She had shown up because she wanted to meet the girl because her son was being cagey about who it was (I assume he had mentioned where they were going because she wouldn't let him out if she didn't know). She starts screaming and crying about how her son could do this to their family. Doesn't he know she wants grandkids? His father would be so ashamed if he was still alive, doesn't his father's memory mean anything?
She then tells him that if he keeps up with this, don't bother coming home, and then marches out of our shop. This poor boy is just weeping, while his not-even-really boyfriend is trying to comfort him, completely bewildered with what happened.

15. She really should have just left
He made a comment to her about how he's "not Jewish" so he's not cheap and she should order whatever she wanted. She was Jewish. Spent the rest of the evening in silence as he went on about how his ex girlfriend was anorexic and "so annoying about food." He was happy to be on a date with a woman who could eat like a normal person.
So weird.

14. The worst thing about this is the concept of a quesadilla burger
Worked at Applebees. This woman was the worst woman I've ever waited on. She was needy and slurped down her iced tea like there was a world wide shortage. He was silent. He didn't talk once except to order his quesadilla burger, and she just kept going and going prattling on. And she was mean too! Talking down about how people were losers to be servers, and how much better it was to work in a shop.
At the end, he went to the bathroom and just never came back. He apparently jetted out the side door where the to-go girls worked and gave them a twenty to give to me. Worst Woman was just sitting there and waiting for him to come back. I stood there at the servers station just waiting for her to realize he wasn't coming back.
So after ten minutes, she just started crying, pushes her chair over, and flounced out. I didn't get a tip, but it made my night.

13. Would you like some vine rowge?
I once saw a guy try and impress his date by pretending to know about wine.
He then proceeded to pronounce every single wrong one. I don't even know how I would phonetically write out his butchering of Chablis and Sauvignon Blanc. Date looked at him like he'd just taken a dump on the table.

12. Did I stutter?
I worked for IHOP for a very long 3 months. Most of my experiences were decent.
On one occasion, one of my acquaintances came in with a date. We had been friends as kids and still sometimes chatted amicably. At this time, I had a stutter that would happen if I spoke too quickly, was stressed, or just trying to speak hard words. I went up to their table, said hi to my friend and her date, and instantly flubbed the greeting with a stutter. Honestly, my stutter has never bothered me, never felt like a bad thing until that moment.
Her date look at me, did that little condescending laugh that we've all heard before, and then repeated what I said while mocking my stutter. I could see my friend physically recoil from him, her face clearing showing a 'did you really just act that way?' expression.
At the time… I just brushed it off. It bothered me for about two seconds in the moment, but even years later I still haven't forgotten.
Still, I could tell with that one little moment of jerkishness, my friend was not gonna go on a second date with him.

11. Who does this to their kids?!
Man and woman cozy in a booth. Different woman storms in through the front door literally dragging two kids behind her, right past the hostess station to stand defiantly in front of the couple and proceeds to ream out the man, who is clearly her husband. Dude was humiliated, but those poor kids, though.

10. Good for you, lady
Girl and guy came into the barbecue restaurant I worked at. They met at the door exchanging the usual "Hi, nice to meet you!", etc. The guy was a complete weasel. She ordered ribs and he said, "Do you want to keep that hot figure of yours or look like that chick over there? " He pointed to a slightly overweight woman. Then, when they were waiting to pay (before getting their food) he started flirting with the chick behind them. She waited until he paid then left without even waiting for her food.

9. A hands-on date
Couple in their mid-twenties come in, it's obviously a first date but they seem to really like each other and are getting along well. I wasn't serving them however, I was serving the table next to them.
About halfway through their meal I notice them holding hands over the table. Cute. Then, the guy lifts her hand to his lips and kisses the back of it. A bit of an outdated gesture, but still cute I guess. The woman seems slightly confused but goes along with it.
A little while later I see the guy do it again. Okay, dude. Then again. Woman is confused and looks a little uncomfortable. They are no longer holding hands. I go to serve my table and see the dude full on MAKING OUT with her hand, tongue and all. Woman looks extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable, looking everywhere but at her date.
I go over and casually ask if they need anything, and the dude stops. Woman yanks her hand back. She left pretty soon after.

8. Now I get two dinners
I was working in a small restaurant with two floors. A woman and a man came in and I had a table for them upstairs. It looked like they were on a first date because they were asking those "getting to know each other" questions.
After ordering food, the woman had to go to the toilet, which is downstairs. As she walked to the stairs, the food arrived. She walked down, tripped and fell all the way down knocking her head on the ground. Two colleagues immediately rushed over to her to see how she was doing. She was unconscious and bleeding from her head so they called an ambulance.
I went to the man while he already started eating and told him his partner (didn't know what else to call her) fell down the stairs, that she was unconscious and that an ambulance was on the way. He walked to the stairs, looked down, and walked back to his table to finish his food.
Later the ambulance arrived and I asked him if he wanted to go with them to the hospital and he said no while finishing her food as well. It was so awkward he just sat there for another 45 minutes eating, drinking, paid the bill, and left. I still don't know what kind of relationship they had and whether the woman was okay.

7. Have a little class
Girl was obviously super into guy, and he seemed like he was at least somewhat interested. They both talked and joked with me, overall great table. Cut to the check, I ask if it will be together, and the girl smiles at the guy. He promptly says, "No, separate please." Her face dropped, and he blatantly wrote his number on the check with a little note for me. That poor girl almost cried as she quietly shuffled out the door. What an idiot he was.

6. Changing teams mid-game
I cannot miss the opportunity to share this story:
Friend and I meet up and a chain restaurant for a meal and a catch up. In the booth across from us are a guy and a girl in their twenties, very obviously on a date. Things seem to be going moderately well, just kind of let them do their thing in the background as my friend and I chat about life and stuff.
Guy stands up halfway through the girls sentence, cutting her off. It's quite a violent standing so draws the attention of most tables nearby. Guy then says this in a way that makes me think he has rehearsed:
"I'm sorry, Jen. I just wanted to give women one more chance but I can't do it, your lively but women just aren't doing it for me."
Guy throws some money on the table and walks out. Jen kinda sits there with everyone looking at her, going redder and redder. Lovely waitress swoops in and saves the day for her, but wow.
Never seen anything that completely insane before or since. At least just wait for the date to be over and politely decline a second.

5. It ain't easy being cheesy
Not as good as some of the other ones here but I definitely have a memorable one.
Was waiting on this couple, who are clearly on a first date. The man seems initially delighted with her. I take their order and she orders the Fettuccine Alfredo. Cool no problem.
I bring their orders out and as is custom at our restaurant I ask the lady if she would like some fresh grated Parmesan on her pasta. She goes "oh yeah. I looooove cheese. Your arm is going to get tired I'm warning you!" Her date smiles at her, clearly thinking she's adorable.
Now I've heard this and dealt with this before. I have grated a lot of cheese in my serving career. It's never been a problem and I almost never judge someones cheese preference, being a dairy lover myself.
I will never forget this lady. I have never grated that much cheese before or since. It starts off normal and her date is still smiling at her. The pile begins to grow and he chuckles, clearly thinking this is some cute quirk.
But she doesn't tell me to stop. You can no longer see any pasta on this dish and our dinner pasta portions are very very large. I can see on his face that his initial delight with her is slowly morphing into surprise. The smile is growing smaller and tighter and the eyebrows are going higher.
And still she doesn't tell me to stop. She's clearly thrilled and obviously wants MORE cheese grated on this thing. For the first time my arms and wrists start to hurt. Now there is no where left for the cheese to go but UP. A small humped mountain of parmesan is growing on this womans plate. FINALLY after what seems an eternity she says "OK! That looks great!"
I am not exaggerating when I say she was having some pasta with her cheese. I had to get a fresh block because it was worn to the nub. My wrists hurt like hell. A first for cheese grating in 8 years. This dish looks absolutely gross. I look over at the guy's face and it has now morphed again from surprise to pure disgust and embarrassment.
She is completely oblivious and digs into her cheese stack still chirping and chattering at him and he won't even make eye contact anymore. The smile is gone. He is clearly over it. It's very obvious there is not going to be a second date.
I skip asking if they want desert and bring him the bill as quickly as I can without appearing to rush them. He gives me a look that all but screams "Thank You!" and makes his excuses to go, leaving me a VERY nice tip for expediting this painful experience as much as was professionally possible.
Haven't seen either of them back since.

4. Wine and a whiner
I worked as a waitress in an Italian restaurant while in uni in 2006. Obvious first date comes in. He's booked it and requested a table in a secluded area of the restaurant because the acoustics would be perfect.
She arrives and asks to move table to by the window. No big deal. He's annoyed at this. They ordered a carafe of the house red with their meals. Anything she said he'd turn it into some achievement he'd already accomplished. He kept making comments about her order, such as how fattening a dish would be,and then proceeded to say his family owned a vineyard and he knew a good red wine when he smelt one.
He then asked for the most expensive wine on the menu and to take away the what he called "trashy house wine" then talked about how the bouquet was different and the clarity was so much better on the "expensive" wine.
When it came to dessert she had had enough of his idiocy and flipped when he said that she shouldn't have any or she'd end up with stretch marks. She was a bit overweight but not overly so. She stood up and yelled at him for being a condescending piece of crap, for knowing nothing about wine and dropped the coup de grâce that her father was our wine supplier and that the house red was exactly the same as the most expensive wine (all of which was totally true).
He was left speechless with the full check to pay.

3. Gonna catch something…
Couple years ago, I was tending bar at a high-end steak joint. A pretty brunette walked in and sat down at the bar. After fixing her a cocktail, I asked if she'd like to see a dinner menu. She explained that she was waiting for a date.
A few moments later, the guy arrived carrying a large bag.
It was immediately obvious this date was their first. Their conversation was lurching from forced to downright painful when he reached into the bag and pulled out an album containing…
…his Pokemon card collection.
He set the book on the bar and thumbed through each page, thoroughly and lovingly describing every card, attempting to educate his date in the ways of Japanese pocket monsters. I'll be fair to the guy – dude was passionate.
She feigned an emergency and called her friend to pick her up. He stayed and ate a plain hamburger at the bar.
Both of these people were in their mid-30s.

2.Mother and son
There was this young guy eating dinner with his mom. I noticed they seemed weirdly uncomfortable and distant but didn't think much of it. Turns out the lady was not his mom. He had met her on a dating site and had been VERY clearly catfished. The lady was at least a good 20 years older than him.
When she left the restaurant he stayed behind and told me about what happened then asked me out. I politely declined but agreed with him that that was a really weird situation.

1. Taking the leftovers
This was about 15 years ago. I was a trendy restaurant late at night with a friend and besides us we had a couple that was on their first date. The girl was hot and had a very alluring voice which captivated me. I kept staring, that voice…
At some point you could tell she was not interested; twice she took calls and left the table. You could also tell the guy had figured it out so he asks for the bill, girl was still on the phone (later I found out with a friend begging for a ride). So dude pays for the bill and vanishes.
On our way out, the girl was still waiting for a friend, I started chit chatting with her and man did we connect. We mostly bonded by talking about how cringy that date was. She almost peed herself, we laughed for like an hour.
So she eventually decided to tag along with my friend and I. We met up with friends at a nearby night club and we ended up dating for like 3 years.

Fifteen canvases depict cypresses, a tree he became fascinated with in Arles.[246] He brought life to the trees, which were traditionally seen as emblematic of death.[214] The series of cypresses he began in Arles featured the trees in the distance, as windbreaks in fields; when he was at Saint-Rémy he brought them to the foreground.[247] Vincent wrote to Theo in May 1889: "Cypresses still preoccupy me, I should like to do something with them like my canvases of sunflowers"; he went on to say, "They are beautiful in line and proportion like an Egyptian obelisk."[248]
After Van Gogh's death, memorial exhibitions were held in Brussels, Paris, The Hague and Antwerp. His work was shown in several high-profile exhibitions, including six works at Les XX; in 1891 there was a retrospective exhibition in Brussels.[265] In 1892 Octave Mirbeau wrote that Van Gogh's suicide was an "infinitely sadder loss for art ... even though the populace has not crowded to a magnificent funeral, and poor Vincent van Gogh, whose demise means the extinction of a beautiful flame of genius, has gone to his death as obscure and neglected as he lived."[263]
The piece comes back and looks horrible. The fabric was torn and stapled back together unevenly. We called Art Van to complain and were promised to be contacted by the manager. In the meantime we moved and didn't get a chance to call manager back. We called back and were told manager would contact us. Nothing. I finally called the manager, Kathy Smith, today and received the worst treatment I've ever experienced from a store. Right away she had a chip on her should and said because it's been 8 months since original purchase, we couldn't get a replacement and basically it wasn't her problem. I wasn't rude and didn't say anything to anger her but she acted like I was trying to steal from her. I explained that if we could not get the piece replaced (which is ridiculous by itself), could we get a decent discount on the purchase of two new pieces? We need to get the reverse pieces for the new house and were hoping after all the inconvenience, that they could work with us since the original piece looks terrible from being serviced.
The Flowering Orchards (also the Orchards in Blossom) are among the first groups of work completed after Van Gogh's arrival in Arles in February 1888. The 14 paintings are optimistic, joyous and visually expressive of the burgeoning spring. They are delicately sensitive and unpopulated. He painted swiftly, and although he brought to this series a version of Impressionism, a strong sense of personal style began to emerge during this period. The transience of the blossoming trees, and the passing of the season, seemed to align with his sense of impermanence and belief in a new beginning in Arles. During the blossoming of the trees that spring, he found "a world of motifs that could not have been more Japanese".[252] Vincent wrote to Theo on 21 April 1888 that he had 10 orchards and "one big [painting] of a cherry tree, which I've spoiled".[253]

EU health chief says don't go to swine flu areas
European Commissioner for Health Androulla Vassiliou arrives to brief EU Foreign Ministers about swine flu during their meeting in Luxembourg April 27, 2009. REUTERS/Sebastien Pirlet
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's health chief advised travelers on Monday not to go to areas affected by swine flu.
The EU did not issue any formal instructions to travelers but said the bloc's health ministers would discuss ways to prevent the spread of the virus later this week and that EU foreign ministers would discuss the situation later on Monday.
Swine flu has killed 103 people in Mexico and has spread to the United States. Spain has reported one case of the virus, the first to be confirmed in Europe.
"Personally, I'd try to avoid non-essential travel to the areas which are reported to be in the center (of the crisis)," Health Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou said in a statement recorded in Luxembourg and broadcast to reporters in Brussels.
Asked for details, she said: "They should avoid traveling to Mexico or the United States unless it's very urgent for them."
Health experts from the EU's 27 member states were due to meet on Monday to discuss coordinating efforts to tackle swine flu. The bloc's foreign ministers were due to discuss the situation at a meeting in Luxembourg.
EU officials said the bloc's health ministers would probably meet on Thursday afternoon.
"The presidency considers it of paramount importance to coordinate the EU's response to the outbreak," said the EU presidency, now held by the Czech Republic.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso told reporters in Greece: "It's too soon to speculate about the situation. We are following the situation very closely, together with the member states." | {

Suara Sarawak: More pictures the Barisan Nasional would not want you to see.
A job well done.Keep up the momentum.SNAP should cooperate with PAKATAN and reach a consecous for the sake of Dayak unity.
Well done PKR Sarawak! Well done Baru and Nicholas Bawin. Keep the pressure on. BN is now slowly feeling the heat as you bring the battle into the heartland of Sarawak. Just ignore those dinosaurs in SNAP who are trying very hard, with BN help of course, to split the opposition votes in the coming state election.
sarawakians...LET'S VOTE PR THIS TIME ROUND. ENOUGH OF BN. BERUBALAH! This is the time for change!
Rh panjang biasalah. Dia orang sambut siapa saja tetamu tapi tengoklah lepas BN datang segala nya berubah.
Sarawkian brothers,unite now and get those bankrupts,out of sarawak politics,remember this might be your only chance,never never never repeat our mistakes in sabah u will regate it for life,Take what the BNed gives but vote PKR, SNAP unite with PKR please don't let BNed fool u to split the votes !!!
Thanks Baru and Nicholas, and of course See Chee How ... God with you all the way ... Nic Bawin left comfortable gov't job to help find a way for the struggle... the Dayak struggle ... please Dayaks don't let the efforts of these people go to waste.
to that 4th and 5th anonymous, you guys should have flipped the lucky coin just one time. try more times, let's see how lucky you're going to be when the next election comes.. heheh..
I was in tears after reading articles and seeing pictures here.. seeing the state of the longhouses and the people living there..
I pray for better changes soon!!
About the PKR logo; one of defeated SNAP candidates told his audience (before the election) that the logo is actually comprised of Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian states of Borneo (the white stripes), segregated by the vast, South China Sea!
One of the candidate's supporters admitted that he likes the logo very much, but then he didn't support PKR due to a notion that PKR belongs to Malayan Malays!
I think that he too didn't realize that BN belongs to Malayan Malays!
The Dayak elders were pretty impressed with what have been told during the talk; among others, how are they going to invite a (Malay) PKR representative to declare open Gawai, church, temple, etc.
All kinds of bogeymen were created to frighten the electorate!
In West Malaysia, UMNO/BN tried to revive May 13 to frighten the voters into giving them their votes.
But it doesn't work anymore!!!
Now, they are getting very, very scared!
With Baru Bian whacking them in Sarawak, one of their two "Fixed Deposits", the fear factor must be mind numbing for these rascals!! | {

Gwyneth Paltrow brings The Go-Gos to broadway
Wed, Dec 13, 2017 - 9:25 AM
[NEW YORK] The Go-Gos, the pioneering all-woman rock band, are heading to Broadway, with an assist by Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Hollywood star was announced Tuesday as a producer for "Head Over Heels", an upcoming musical that will trace the story of the rockers known for infectious pop-rock songs such as "Vacation".
"If you told us 30 years ago that our songs were going to be in a musical, we'd have said, 'Of course they'll be on Broadway!' None of us would have really believed it, though," The Go-Gos said in a statement.
The Curran Theatre in San Francisco announced Tuesday that "Head Over Heels" would premiere there on April 24 before heading to New York, with the Broadway details not yet revealed.
A statement described the musical on The Go-Gos as "a tantalising odyssey wrought with mistaken identities, jealous lovers, romance and scandal".

It marks the first production on Broadway for the "Shakespeare in Love" actress. The musical will be directed by Michael Mayer, the force behind rock musicals such as Green Day's "American Idiot" and "Spring Awakening". The New York Post, quoting unnamed sources, reported earlier this year that Paltrow refused an offer to invest in "Head Over Heels" from Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who soon afterward was disgraced by wide accusations of sexual abuse.
The Go-Gos are one of the most successful all-women bands in a rock scene dominated by men. They emerged in Los Angeles in the 1970s, around the time Paltrow was growing up in the city.
Go-Gos frontwoman Belinda Carlisle went on to a successful solo career with hits such as "Mad About You" and "Heaven Is a Place on Earth".

In March, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology, and next-generation IT services, is planning to establish a technology and innovation hub in Hartford.
STAMFORD — Technical workers have organized a rally for Saturday in Hartford to protest what they say is a "sweetheart deal" Gov. Ned Lamont struck with an Indian company that will result in job losses for Connecticut citizens.
The Connecticut Tech Workers Coalition is teaming up with a national group, Protect U.S. Workers, to protest a state deal that gives Infosys, which supplies tech labor across the United States, $14 million to open a hub in Hartford on the promise of creating 1,000 jobs. There is talk that Infosys also plans to open an office in Stamford.
Rally organizers say the technology services giant has a history of manipulating the nation's visa program to displace U.S. workers with cheaper labor from India. Organizers include some of the 200 Eversource employees who were laid off four years ago, when the utility hired Infosys to supply tech support. On their way out, Eversource employees had to train Infosys workers, organizers have said.
In 2013, the federal government fined Infosys $34 million for abuse of the visa system for fraudulently bringing workers into the country. In 2017, Infosys paid New York state $1 million to settle similar allegations.
Infosys officials have said the Hartford deal is part of a company commitment to hire 10,000 American workers before the year is out, and that 7,000 have been hired so far. State officials have said the state grant money will be dispersed only after Infosys meets a set of milestones for creating good-paying jobs for American citizens in Connecticut.
But protesters say Infosys is like many other tech outsourcing companies operating in the U.S. — they use the visa system to fill jobs with underpaid foreign workers, and it's time to fight back..
The rally is scheduled for 5 p.m. Saturday at the Hartford Elks Lodge, 34 Prospect St. in downtown Hartford. For information, visit www.cttechworkers.org. | {

The Royal College of Art has unveiled plans for a new campus in Battersea, and a major regeneration of its building in Kensington. The institution says the five year plan is the boldest since the college's creation in 1837, and will help it to offer new programmes, and improve its current facilities. Some of the college's alumni were present as the plans were announced, including North London Oscar winning film director; Asif Kapadia. | {

Dr Yasushi Yoshida from International Boat Research, Japan, presented a lecture on "Scale Effects Related to the Resistance of Planning Boats". He is at present a Visiting Research Fellow at Wessex Institute of Technology for a one-year period and is currently researching into hydrodynamic problems.
The lecture was concerned with the balance between the thrust and resistance of planning boats travelling at maximum speed. Trial test data was available for a PT of 35m overall, 9m width and a displacement of 1304.3 kN (133 tonf). The craft, which has three propellers, produced a thrust of 184 kN (18.8 tonf) that slightly exceeded the total resistance at the maximum speed of 41.19 knots. A greater difference between the thrust and resistance is evident at decreasing speed. This validates Attwood's findings in his book 'Textbook of Theoretical Naval Architecture' which indicates that an overestimation of thrust by 10% is necessary when there is no design information. An analysis of the propeller performance was obtained by nomogram based on Gawn's test data on propellers and the resistance was found by empirical equations based on towing tank test data using models of 2.5m in length.
Dr Yoshida will be presenting a paper based on this topic at the Marine Technology Conference, to be held in Szczecin, Poland from 28-30 May, 2003. | {

Endress+Hauser is launching its Proline 300/500 smart Coriolis mass and electromagnetic flow instruments that simplify installation, speed commissioning, and streamline operation and maintenance.
Proline Promass Coriolis mass flowmeters are available in 11 models from 1/24 to 14 in. in diameter for measuring flows up to 100,000 tons per day. Proline Promag flowmeters are available in sizes from 1/12 to 78 in. for volume flows up to 634 mgd. Equipped with aluminum, hygienic stainless-steel or cast stainless-steel housings, Proline offers flexibility for all environments including high temperatures, corrosive fluids, hygienic and sterile. The 300 series are compact with the transmitter mounted integrally to the sensor, while 500 series provides remote accessibility of the transmitter from sensors.
"Proline 300/500 have capabilities tailored to meet the needs of different industries, but we want to assure our customers this is a natural product extension and evolution for Proline and our Promass and Promag sensors, which have been tried and tested for decades," says Nathan Hedrick, flow products marketing manager at Endress+Hauser Inc. "One advance is implementation of redundant, traceable references to avoid undetected drift in measurement. At the same time, we maintained the same dimensions of the sensors for easy drop-in replacement. This means users can experience new benefits without big changes or risks."
Proline 300/500 lets users access signals and data through HMIs to match plant preference. Access is through a local, four-line, backlit, optical display, embedded web server, digital communication protocol, handheld device, asset management or other solutions, such as Endress+Hauser's W@M lifecycle management software or secure WLAN. It was integrated into the optical displays to permit access from handhelds like tablet PCs or smart phones from a common web browser. Each method enables fast commissioning, in-situ device verification during operation, access to diagnostics and automated on-board data storage.
One of Proline 300/500's new innovations is its three-part Heartbeat Technology with remedy-based diagnostics, monitoring and verification for satisfying regulatory, contractual, quality, safety or fiscal requirements. First, Heartbeat Diagnostics provides permanent self-monitoring for all Proline instruments meeting NAMUR NE107 requirements for event categorization and device remedies. Second, optional Heartbeat Monitoring identifies device trends from process influences, such as buildup, settling solids or liquids, erosion, corrosion and multi-phase fluid flows. Third, TÜV-attested Heartbeat Verification is an in-situ verification method that can be triggered from anywhere to provide electronic quality reports. It's also the only method that's achieved third-party accreditation per traceable ISO metrological standards in operation.
"These remedy-based diagnostics tell users on the display or any HMI what steps are needed to resolve the event faster and safer than ever," says Hedrick. "Also, having Heartbeat Verification in the transmitter means device verification with audit safe documentation takes 5 minutes or less, where they used to take at least 15 minutes and often longer."
To automatically protect data storage, every Proline instrument uses a unique HistoROM concept, which includes an onboard event logbook and data logger that can be accessed locally or remotely to store operating, calibration and verification data. "For example, when Proline 300/500 detects a half-full pipe, it's immediately noted in its HistoROM logbook, which can be called up any time or accessed via the web server. This allows more traceable measurements and visibility to events the meters experienced," adds Hedrick. | {

• Orthopaedic rehabilitation post surgery/injury.
My mixed caseload of the above conditions takes my physiotherapy skills to children's homes, nurseries, schools and sports clubs to provide a clear and accurate assessment of the young person's difficulties/abilities and prognosis. This informs a truly holistic approach to maximise the child's prognosis/recovery.
My love for working with children, often presenting with a number of inter-related symptoms mentioned above (eg hypermobility and developmental delay) developed at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, specialising in Orthopaedic and Paediatric Physiotherapy.
With such a varied caseload I use many treatment modalities including Bobath principles and Neurodevelopmental approaches and stretching and strengthening programmes with some 'hands-on' treatment to achieve the very best results for my patients whilst also having fun! Be that in water during Aquatic Therapy or on dry land!
I also still work with acute adult orthopaedic cases at a local private hospital, continuing my interest in acute orthopaedic rehabilitation and conduct medicolegal work in the areas of Orthopaedics and Paediatrics. Details of Medico-Legal work can be found here.
Jo is a member of the Association of Chartered Paediatric Physiotherapists and the Aquatic Therapy Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and also still takes a small amount of acute orthopaedic work. Jo graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2000, with an Honours degree in Physiotherapy.
When Jo isn't working she is usually found chasing around after her two young sons or squeezing in a run when possible! | {

Keowee Key Community Certified as a Wildlife-Friendly Community by the National Wildlife Federation
Keowee Key Community News
Salem, SC (August 17, 2018) - Leading a nationwide trend in community concern for habitat loss, Keowee Key has been officially designated an NWF Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). Keowee Key is the 112th community in the country and the 5th community in South Carolina to receive this honor. A Community Wildlife Habitat project creates multiple habitat areas in backyards, schoolyards, corporate properties, community gardens, parkland and other spaces.
NWF commends the dedicated residents of Keowee Key and the Lake and Hills Garden Club team for their wildlife conservation efforts and for coming together for a common purpose - to create a community where people and wildlife can flourish. At a time when communities are faced with the problems of losing habitat to development, Keowee Key stands out as a model for other communities to emulate.
Keowee Key certified 88 individual - owned properties and 4 common areas to complete the required points for certification.
"We are so proud to be the only certified community in the Upstate of South Carolina! This award shows the dedication of individuals in our community to conservation and preservation of their natural surroundings," said Alice Guzick, Keowee Key Garden Club and community property owner.
A Community Wildlife Habitat benefits the entire community of plants, wildlife, and people through the creation of sustainable landscapes that require little or no pesticides, fertilizers, and excess watering. These landscapes help keep water and air resources clean. They are healthier for people and the environment, and they are less resource-dependent than conventional landscapes. Habitat landscapes can serve to beautify our urban areas and give residents pride in their neighborhoods.
If you would like to certify your backyard as a wildlife habitat, please go to: www.nwf.org/certify.

The 2011 Transat Jacques Vabre (TJV), which is traditionally dominated by the French, featured standout performances by sailors from the United States, New Zealand, the UK and Northern Europe in the 16-boat Class 40 fleet. Among the nine teams that finished were American Jesse Naimark-Rowse and British sailor Hannah Jenner.
The 2011 Transat Jacques Vabre (TJV), which is traditionally dominated by the French, featured standout performances by sailors from the United States, New Zealand, the UK and Northern Europe in the 16-boat Class 40 fleet. Among the nine teams that finished were American Jesse Naimark-Rowse and British sailor Hannah Jenner aboard 40 Degrees, who together battled multiple storms between Le Havre, France, and the finish in Costa Rica to take third in class. The pair's success was all the more remarkable given they had barely sailed together before the start. SAIL caught up with Naimark-Rowse to get the inside scoop.
SAIL: How did you and Jenner end up doing the race together?
JNR: I had been brought in through Owen Clarke Design to do some rig tuning and other optimization before the TJV. Hannah had been forced out of the Global Ocean Race due to lack of funding. The owner of 40 Degrees decided at the last minute to race the TJV with Hannah, and then came to the conclusion that he was really too busy with work and asked me to take his place.
SAIL: What were the challenges of joining the campaign at such a late date?
JNR: Lack of time on the boat and with my co-skipper. We set off immediately on a 500-mile qualification sail, which helped alleviate any concerns about us not being able to sail together. That went quite well, which was a really good sign. I think my biggest concern was that we had an all-new sail wardrobe and had never lined up against any of the other boats with it. This left us with a great unknown as to how our speed was going to be in various conditions against the rest of the fleet.
SAIL: This was a tough race. What was it like knowing your competitors were dropping out all around you?
JNR: It was really unfortunate to hear about all the abandons in the early parts of the race. We were particularly sad to hear about [the British boat] Concise as Ned [Collier-Wakefield] and Sam [Goodchild] are talented young sailors and were leading the race when they dropped out...It left us feeling very aware of how we were treating our boat and checking constantly to make sure there were no signs of any major failures.
SAIL: What were the high and low points?
JNR: The biggest high of the race is easy: punching through the final weather front and almost immediately jumping to third in the ranking. We committed ourselves to a really tough route, and there were times we questioned it while sailing upwind in 50-plus knots and violent waves. The satisfaction of this all paying off was huge. In the last 100 miles we were becalmed under terrible rain squalls with shifting wind while our nearest competitor to the north was still posting speeds of 10 knots straight toward the finish. We knew we had a good margin on them, but it is not a good feeling to think that you could possibly lose a podium position right at the end.
SAIL: Do you think your finish, and the sixth-place finish of team 11th Hour Racing, with American Nicholas Halmos and Kiwi Hugh Piggin, says something about North American sailors and their ability to compete in these events?
JNR: I think our podium position and the solid result from 11th Hour Racing absolutely shows that North American sailors can be competitive in this realm of offshore sailing. Maybe when one of us wins a race we can prove that at another level! I found we were all getting a very high level of respect from the French sailors after the race, and they were all very positive about making the class more international and encouraging us to race more—and bring some friends. | {

Looking towards the summer, I have a yearning for a boat. Yes, a big ketch, yawl or sloop would be lovely, but I had something more like this in mind. Easy to handle, straightforward to maintain, just a little hole in the water to putter about and enjoy a bit of time on the water, this would be a perfect fit for me. As a rower, I have often considered a rowing shell, but this version of rowing or paddling works fine for me. | {

Tonight we have (possibly the last) session with our behaviorist. I have learned a great deal about effective communication from him, but I feel that possibly it is time to learn some new lessons from other canine professionals.
This summer we have started Kitsune with agility basics in the backyard while trying to push a non-fearful approach to strangers on his behalf, and so far we've made fairly good progress with both. Our goal is to hire an agility trainer to help us work with Kitsune's natural ability on the equipment and to introduce him to an actual course. I'm really excited about this!
For Tsuki, I'm not really sure where we want to concentrate with her, I think she'd be a great hiker, possibly light pack carrier, because she has endless energy. BUT - she has grade 1 LP, what sort of advice can anyone give me about weight distribution in a pack for her?
We have an empty pack that we put on Kitsune that fits Tsuki, and occasionally we'll put empty plastic grocery bags in it for clean up but that's all we would put into it.
Hachi, she still has a ways to go, she's not quite blossomed yet. But she is letting us see more and more of her true colors as the days go by. We have noticed that she A. LOVES to walk, B. is food driven and C. is more tolerant of meeting new people than she is new dogs. She put a dog into his place yesterday that was off lead (I hate people that don't care) and came barreling up to her, in her face, she snarled and should and could have lunged at him but only snapped quick to get him away from her. It's amazing the language barrier that is no longer since seeing the behaviorist! I knew what she was doing!
Since she is low key and very good with people of all ages, I'm thinking perhaps therapy dog once she gets through her obedience certifications.. which we plan to start in early August.
What types of traits should I be looking for in her to be a good therapy dog?
Or is there such a thing that someone in a wheel chair can walk her or something where we can use her walking in her therapeutic services?
What other training options are there for 18lb dogs?
Are your dogs doing much over the summer?
Akira is a little odd from what i understand about Shibas. He loves water and swimming. So I try to take him places we can hike and go for a swim usually creeks and rivers and such. I have also thought about the pack thing for him I heard some dogs really take to that - it gives them a task and makes them feel good about helping the pack out. I try to do something at the very least once a week with Akira otherwise he starts getting weird about people and new things he would become a total introvert if i let him. Also Akira does much better with strangers away from the house.
Nemo will probably spend most of his summer under the bed, as it must be cooler down there.
You have a lot planned for your Shibas, and it all sounds like fun.
Brandon, you are just too funny, too funny.
Jake will spend his summer playing as often as possible., socializing with people and other dogs, and just having fun during these young years, probably 'cause that's all his little attention span can handle right now.
akira inu - my tsuki LOVES water too!! although she hasn't technically swam yet. When we hike near a lake, she takes a running leap into the lake, no hesitation! Its hilarious!
Putting our two Shibas in agility classes did so much for their self confidence. Both were wary of people they didn't know. Being in a class with other people and dogs where they had to concentrate on doing the obstacles anyway was one of the best things we did for them.
We'd take them to the beach but neither one is very excited about going in the ocean or the river that flows into the ocean.
Akira sleeps on the bathroom floor because it is cool. I have a feeling he is not much for summer. This is his first summer and he has gone from moderate energy to down right lazy for the most part he even sleeps in now.
Wow, that is quite a bit of activities you have planned for your pups. Sounds great though, im sure the agility will help a lot for kitsune. Im glad Hachi is warming up to you and you are seeing her true colors. Its really great that she is now food driven, I remember you saying she wasn't food driven when trying to make her go in the kitchen tile flooring, maybe since she is more comfortable and food driven, you can start conditioning her with food and the kitchen tile flooring?
yes, romi! We are pleased to say that Hachi has become much much more enthusiastic about food rewards. I think the initial adjustment made her very nervous and distracted and not even pieces of chicken could sway her but now - look out! She is nutty for food! We've used that to teach her sit and we're working with stay and she'll come about a food onto the tile before she gets nervous. little by little. But she's visibly becoming more comfortable with me. With John - it varies on the day.. she won't even take treats from him sometimes!
She is going to be difficult to train I think, she's eager to please and food driven, but she's still so distracted. I think a small, formal obedience class will really help us make headway with her!!
How has Ninja been doing?
Non reactiveness first and foremost. MY trainer tests by banging canes and walkers very close to the dog. She honks horns, shouts, rolls wheel chairs, even has shot starter pistols. The dog must remain CALM amongst the chaos.
Then your dog needs to be able to be handled by just about anyone, just about anywhere on their body.
Your dog cannot jump on people. And needs to be able to hold a quality sit-stay, and down-stay.
She also needs to at least be dog-tolerant.
Piglet will begin her certification testing in the next couple months.
hmm. I would certainly rule out Kitsune. He is not good with people and reactive to noises he can't see. But he's fine with the vacuum and t-storms!
Tsuki, maybe, but like Miko, I wouldn't try to certify her until she was older, she's the only dog in the house to get her CGC. But she's still a jumper!
Hachi I can't rule out yet, I think she has that potential, she is dog tolerant, just will not shy away from putting a rude dog in its place. I hope that in the coming months, or years, she will be less reactive to new scenarios and noises and perhaps we will pursue it when she is ready.
argh. well it seems Hachi is having a 'split-heat'?? so we are waiting at least another 2-3 months before spaying her.
How many times a year do female shibas go into heat?
Are split heats common among younger female dogs? I hadn't heard of split heat until this morning!!
I had not heard of a split heat until I just read that.
its news to me, too!
Our front yard is cemented as a parking space for the classes I teach. Getting to the park is about a 5-10 minute walk with zero shade and almost no grass. I don't want to hurt his feet walking in the afternoon just to go to the park and play for five minutes, but I want him to be active and play, of course! Our hose is too short, too :( and the nearest dog runs have no shade, either (no pools either).
And finally, so far, haven't been able to find any activities like agility or barn hunts, etc. The only thing I found so far is once a week training classes about an hour or two from our house.
Coal will chase a ball for a few minutes, then just sit in the shade. We give him plenty of water, but he stores up all his energy for the nice, ACed living room..... really need to give him a safe outlet!
Hose is too short, but try a bucket or a little splash pool for him. My dogs also really like the frozen socks they favored while teething in the summer, too. A nice frozen/cold thing to chew on and play tug with. Laika appreciates ice cubes to crunch up, Rhyz doesn't care for them unless they're already crushed up and then he might lick them a bit lol.
I live somewhere where the temps are similar to you - hot, often humid, and I don't have AC. I just have a lot of fans, and thankfully a lot of trees for shade. On the particularly hot days the dogs don't go outside much, they lay under a fan, chew on frozen things, eat some ice cubes, and relax. Once the sun starts to go down and the air cools a bit we'll go out in the yard and get them to run some, and once the sun has set and the pavement's cool we'll go for a walk around the neighborhood. Seems the common thing to do, nearly everyone in town is out walking their dogs after 9 p.m. here in the summer.
We wake up early every day to walk Ozzy before it's too hot, and walk him at night when it cools down. I bought him a kiddie pool to play in, but he really doesn't like water lol. He likes to play "bobbing for toys" in it, where he doesn't get wet, but he can reach in and grab toys to take in and out. I bought a cooling vest made by ruffwear (swamp cooler) specifically for this trip, and he wears it on his walks if it's particularly stagnant / sunny / hot. Even in the morning and evening, the temperatures stay in the 80s, but it's much better than during the daytime. I also use musher's secret to protect his paws. It's made for protecting paws against salt and ice in the winter, but it also helps in the summer. I also have a spray bottle that I can bring on walks for a refreshing mist (mostly I use this for us humans lol). But everyone here has AC, so we play a lot indoors with the AC. I have a flirt pole (like one of those cat toys with a pole and toy on the end of a string, but built for dogs), which he loves lol. He loves fetch and playing chase.
Physical exertion and running around does not tire him out lol. It gets the ball rolling and he can go forever. But mental stimulation really tires him out quickly. We practice tricks / learn new ones, play with a puzzle toy or hide a few treats around the room / house, and one of his favorite games is "find it," where he sits and waits while I hide one of his toys out of sight. He's relentless and will never give up until he finds it lol. It really tires him out.
Bucket might work...he is a little iffy around water,I learned XD coal loves ice. Maybe let him play around with the cube more. It's difficult to play in the evening because our neighbors are mostly old people who go to bed earlier (and friends of my in-laws, which means they might get an earful if we are too noisy) But yeah, we wait until the sun goes down to walk him.
@Lilikoi Wow, I never pictured Texas as a humid place! We are lucky if it sinks to mid 80s now in the evenings, and I am seriously dreading August this year XD that musher's secret thing sounds like a good idea. I have been worrying a lot about his paws. Upstairs is super hot, so playing indoors is out. Hubby may or may not break on getting AC, depending on how our new fan goes, but doubt it. he worries too much about how it affects my asthma. Coal DOES eventually wear out with enough activity coupled with mental stimulation. we almost got the mental down with all the training activities and puzzle toys I am collecting for him. Coal still has trouble with find it in a room sense. Good with hands and people, though haha.
I guess we will just have to ride it out. One more month and the temp should start to drop..I hope....this year has been weird.
@Anjyll - Texas is massive of course, so some areas are more humid than others. Where we are, very far south east, it's like bayou / swamp haha, so it's super muggy and hot. Doesn't really have a winter. xD I'm glad I don't live here anymore lol. I'm really itching to get back to Idaho for some hiking and other outdoor activities! Ozzy is very adaptable, though. He's content to relax while indoors and go for hours outdoors. And he's pretty easy to entertain and holds focus pretty effortlessly.
I think Coal will improve as he matures, too, and will become more well adjusted. :) in Ozzy's adolescent days, he was more challenging. This time last year, we were in North Carolina. Which can be hot in the summer, though not as miserable as Texas. We still walked in the mornings and evenings and even sometimes during the day (there's tons of shady paths). His access to space had to be heavily managed since he was a little hyper in his youth and we were visiting my very frail grandparents, so he was always either napping in his crate or tethered to me. But we spent a lotttt of time on walks and playing when at my sister's apartment. I think this summer will be your most challenging. :D hopefully after this year, it'll get easier.
@Lilikoi I hope he does adjust. I worry about his health a lot, and even mornings can be soooo hot. He just seems so lethargic, too. I think part of that is the fluxoitine, but we are reducing and going to eliminate that soon and he is still kind of just lazy in the afternoon. Even during walks, he doesn't make it long. I will look forward to next year, then. He will be almost two years old by then, and I hear that two is around the mark where Shiba start to...calm down (relatively speaking). | {

The camera has increasingly become one of the most important elements in a new smartphone, and not just for the top-end flagship devices. We now expect high-quality cameras in all but the very cheapest phones, and showing off a new camera capability or function has become a popular method for phone manufacturers to differentiate their product from the competition. The Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, released in April this year, not only boasted dual-camera setups, but also the credibility of camera manufacturer Leica being involved in the creating of the camera modules. And now Huawei and Leica have announced the opening of a joint research facility to further their collaboration in the development of new optics, as well as for research into the imaging software and virtual reality.
The Huawei P9 and P9 Plus phones received some mixed reviews overall, but were widely praised for the quality of the images coming from the dual camera setup. One camera captures a color image and the other a black and white image. The images are then combined in order to enhance the levels of detail and contrast in the final image. Following their release there were some rumors that Leica had not been involved in the development of the cameras, with it's name only being added as a branding exercise. Huawei though have since reaffirmed that Leica were fully involved and the cameras were engineered jointly between the two companies.
Huawei is the largest manufacturer of telecoms products globally, and Leica is one of the most respected names in the camera industry with a long history of high quality cameras used by some of the most renowned photographers. As with it's partnership with Panasonic in the production of many Panasonic cameras and lenses, Leica's involvement adds significant expertise and credibility to Huawei's camera development.
The new research facility is to be called the 'Max Berek Innovation Lab' and will be based at Leica's headquarters in Wetzlar, Germany. The plan for the lab is also said to include projects involving universities and other research facilities. The announcement of the new facility doesn't confirm whether Leica will be specifically involved directly in future Huawei smartphones, but that does seem to be a strong possibility. | {

Extinction Rebellion Rebels against Extinction in Atlanta, Worldwide
May 17, 2019 GLORIA TATUM One comment
(APN) ATLANTA — As a new generation of activists comes of age, an international movement, Extinction Rebellion (XR), is creating pressure for societal changes that would be sufficient to prevent the possible extinction of humanity and other species.
XR has a chapter in Atlanta and is an international movement.
XR started in London in 2018 in response to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which concludes that we only have twelve years to stop catastrophic climate change and that we have already entered the sixth mass extinction event on the planet.
https://www.ipcc.ch/2018/10/08/summary-for-policymakers-of-ipcc-special-report-on-global-warming-of-1-5c-approved-by-governments/
XR in Atlanta
Locally, Extinction Rebellion (XR) made a big splash by performing a mock wedding between the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) and Georgia Power during a PSC meeting.
The wedding was performed by "the Grim Reaper" during an Integrated Resource Plan meeting much to the dismay of the Commissioners and to the delight of advocates for clean energy.
"We were calling out the cozy relationship the PSC has with Georgia Power and the donations they get from law firms that work with Georgia Power," Scott Brown, a member of XR, told Atlanta Progressive News.
"The federal government is AWOL on this [climate change] for the foreseeable future… so it's in the hands of state regulators and cities," Brown said.
"We want the PSC to transition to clean energy much faster than they are moving now," Brown said.
They are demanding net zero clean energy by 2025 to avoid runaway climate change with disastrous consequences.
"We are protesting about the future of our species and if there will be a future," Brown said.
"Georgia Power has about 1,500 megawatts (MW) of solar online and is expected to have 1,800 MW by the end of the year and up to 2,500 MW by the end of 2021," according to an email from Tom Krause, Public Information Officer for the PSC.
That is about six to eight percent solar energy in Georgia's electricity mix, with lots for room for more clean energy.
Currently, the CO2 levels are 400 parts per million (ppm), or 50 ppm above what is safe and healthy to preserve a livable planet, as previously reported by APN.
http://atlantaprogressivenews.com/2019/01/03/national-climate-assessment-report-warns-of-grave-situation/
"The government needs to protect the people from the incentives of capitalism that exploit people and destroy the environment and not taking into account for the negative externalities," Brown explained.
A "negative externality" is when an industrial activity has negative effects like pollution, but the costs of those negative effects are "externalized" or passed off to other people. When children die of asthma because of carbon dioxide pollution, that is a negative externality.
"This is the biggest problem humanity has ever faced, so we have to come together and figure it out," Brown said.
On March 15, 2019, students from more than one hundred cities in the U.S. and 112 countries walked out of school to demand that lawmakers start fighting back against climate change.
This was the largest environmental protest in history, with many students still walking out of school every Friday to demonstrate and demand action to prevent further global warming.
One Swedish young woman, Greta Thunberg, 15, has become an international leader on climate change, participating in a school strike and protesting outside of the Swedish Parliament demanding action on climate change.
Here is a link to her speech at the United Nations Climate Change Conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFkQSGyeCWg
The Norwegian parliament has nominated Thunberg for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The students are saying that walking out of class to protect the planet is more important than being in class because if global warming is not stopped, they will not have a future and there is no reason to be in class.
"Climate breakdown is urgent for Extinction Rebellion for many reasons. The most significant is we are already in the midst of the planet's sixth mass extinction event… and humans are as susceptible to extinction as any other species," Rory Varrato, an Adjunct Professor with the Department of Philosophy at Fordham University, and an XR member, told APN.
"Because this extinction event seems to be accelerating… XR believes it is imperative that we act swiftly to identify and respond to what all humans should view as an immediate existential crisis and emergency," Prof. Varrato said.
"In the United States and most other industrialized nations… governments are held captive, either directly or indirectly, by the fossil fuel industry… Some politicians don't care or worse some choose willingly to exacerbate the situation… and are interested solely in increasing their own status, wealth and power," Prof. Varrato said.
"We need to completely change our system of social organization, not simply modify or reform the social system that presently exists," he said.
"Nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience are as nice as we can afford to be given the dire circumstances and the short window of opportunity within which we must act," he said.
"We have seen some policy responses, such as Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, declaring a climate emergency last fall, and now the British Parliament declaring a climate emergency. We hope to replicate those developments in NYC by placing pressure on Mayor De Blasio," Varrato answers.
"We support the decarbonization of the economy and the shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In the U.S., the Green New Deal is a good move in the right direction."
"We also support increased political democracy, especially through the establishment of citizens' assemblies that can empower all persons to contribute to these efforts."
XR views Citizens assemblies as necessary because our government is hostage to the fossil fuel industries and will protect those corporate interests. As we saw during the Dakota Access Pipeline protests when the government and state protected fossil fuel interests and not the environment.
"The Titanic has already struck the iceberg and we are all just rearranging the deck chairs. However, I think XR is playing a crucial role in raising awareness, and through this increased awareness we can help to save lives and mitigate the worst effects, to the best of our ability."
"We believe firmly in the power of nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience. We will continue to escalate our efforts on those fronts for as long as it takes," Varrato promised.
Since its inception in 2018, XR now has chapters in 35 countries, including the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States.
(END / Copyright Atlanta Progressive News / 2019)
The attempt to abolish use of fossil fuels because of fake fear of atmospheric carbon dioxide causing climate change (global warming) is part of an international effort to produce socialist governments world-wide. This will enrich a few and leave most poverty stricken. This organization is part of the conspiracy. It should be denounced. | {

"Take everything you thought you knew about human behavior – and give it one giant twist.
That's the thinking behind what we teach at The Option Institute®.
We live in a 'victim culture'. We're taught that our environment determines who we are. I act the way I do because of my childhood, my boss, my spouse, the weather. So we try to change our environment,including the people around us. Sometimes we get downright controlling. Or we just feel like passive victims: if only this or that would happen, everything would be just fine.
Why? Because the 'if onlys' are always beyond our reach. There's always something else that comes down the road: the loss of a job, conflict with children, catastrophic illness,not to mention the day to day difficulties of life.
Here's the twist. The Option Institute® takes the classic stimulus-response model and adds one element: beliefs. What we believe filters every stimulus we encounter. Change your beliefs, and you change your responses (how you feel, what you do).
Consider this: Two graduating seniors at the college commencement, same event, same stimulus, same situation. Yet one is elated and the other is terrified. How can that be? It all comes back to beliefs. The one grad believes her life will improve dramatically after graduation: independence, her own place, an exciting job. The other believes the world is frightening, it's hard out there and success is just a pipe dream. Their beliefs make all the difference.
That's just one example. Apply it to all the stimuli in our lives, and you quickly see how our thinking – not events or people-truly shapes us.
Good news: you can learn to systematically change your thinking. In the group programs, family programs and individual counseling sessions we offer at The Option Institute®, people learn to use the unique tools and curriculum we've developed over the past quarter century. As they do, they discover the beliefs that fuel uncomfortable and ineffective responses.
Creating new, supportive beliefs is the beginning of profound change. Suddenly, these people gain power. Resolve life's challenges. Find peace with events beyond their control. Build truly satisfying relationships. Achieve their dreams. | {

According to the Office for National Statistics, the UK population could reach 70 million by 2029, with additional government research suggesting that the majority of people and economic growth will be concentrated in cities.
Understanding how people move around cities today will help with future infrastructure planning and development for vehicles, walking, cycling and public transportation. The CitiAnalytics tool works by using the mobile cell phone network along with other big data sets to gather anonymized, census-quality information on the movement of people.
Following successful trials with the authorities in Hull, Citi Logik is now analyzing the city's urban transportation systems to spot patterns, record trends and predict future use. This information can replace traditional roadside surveys, GPS and wi-fi data to allow local authorities to more accurately track and predict demands on public infrastructure.
Using the insight CitiAnalytics provides, local authorities will be able to better identify issues and work on solutions. This includes encouraging active travel, which requires the individual to exercise while moving from one destination to another.
Citi Logik has received funding from Innovate UK for multiple development projects, including small-scale grants from the agency and Transportation for London in 2011, which led to high-profile contracts to analyze traffic flows around Heathrow and Gatwick airports. In 2017, a further grant allowed the company to build its CitiAnalytics platform and test it with customers in a real-world environment. This is where it first worked with Hull, with successful trials seeing the system integrated into the day-to-day workings of the city.
The company has now secured a loan from Innovate UK's pilot funding program, allowing Citi Logik to look at how it can scale up and roll out its platform to other cities. The forthcoming introduction of 5G mobile broadband technology should offer many additional capabilities and benefits to UK cities, such as the arrival of connected and autonomous vehicles.
For Citi Logik, the arrival of 5G means data will be more accurate and sharper, making its tool even more appealing for city planners to effectively shape their urban environments based on the real-time movement of those within it.
"We've worked on a wide range of projects over the last two years, including analysis of car parking and movement of people through railway stations," explained Stephen Leece (above), managing director of Citi Logik. | {

Should Your DNA Data Be Used to Sell Products?
January 4, 2021357 views0 comments
Sales of genetic testing kits have skyrocketed since they first appeared on the market in 2013. Now, more than 30 million people have taken these tests, adding a treasure trove of DNA information to enormous datasets that are already being tapped by tech-savvy businesses. Music streaming service Spotify offered curated playlists based on a listener's DNA, for example, and AeroMexico advertised a "DNA Discounts" program on flights to Mexico for Americans who could prove Mexican ancestry through such a test.
The possibilities for using genetic information to market products and services seem as infinite as the genetic variation among human beings. But a groundbreaking study from Wharton warns marketers to proceed with caution. Serious ethical concerns about autonomy, privacy, discrimination and misinformation abound, and there are few laws that address these concerns.
Wharton marketing assistant professor Gideon Nave, postdoctoral researcher Remi Daviet, and Jerry Wind, Wharton emeritus professor of marketing, are the authors of the paper, titled "Genetic Data: Potential Uses and Misuses in Marketing." Recently published in the Journal of Marketing, the study is the first to examine how the availability of fine-grained genetic data is reshaping the field of marketing. In addition to exploring the ethical and legal challenges, the scholars offer a theoretical framework that incorporates genetic variables into existing consumer behavior theory.
Knowledge@Wharton asked Nave and Daviet some questions about the paper. Their answers appear below.
Knowledge@Wharton: This is the first study that takes a look at how genetic data is influencing marketing. Why did you want to study this topic?
Gideon Nave: Over the past decade, there has been an exponential growth of the direct-to-consumer genetic testing market. This has led to accumulation of massive genetic databases by privately owned companies, such as 23andMe and Ancestry. These genetic datasets are commonly used in health care applications, such as informing consumers about genetic risks. However, we also noticed that marketing teams of several global firms started incorporating genetic data into marketing campaigns. For example, last year Spotify partnered with Ancestry and began to offer its users the ability to upload their data and create playlists that matched their genetic ancestry. AirBnB partnered with 23andMe to offer cultural trips and experiences that are tailored to one's genetic heritage. Another prominent example is Aeromexico, which ran ads where they offered a discount matching one's percentage of "Mexican DNA" (though we do not know for sure if such discounts were actually offered). So, the natural motivation for us was to evaluate what can actually be done with genetic data from a marketing standpoint.
Remi Daviet: We then became increasingly concerned about the implications for consumers, and society as a whole, considering ethics and privacy issues. Genetic data is informative about virtually everything that characterizes you: from which diseases you'll potentially develop while aging, to what flavor of ice cream you likely prefer. We wanted to also investigate this dimension and evaluate the potential threats.
Knowledge@Wharton: Your paper discusses how marketers may be able to use information mined from genetic data. Can you illustrate how can be done?
Nave: The fundamental idea here is that marketing is about addressing the consumer's needs. Different people have different needs, and genetics often plays a role in shaping these differences. For example, think of a high-quality pizza restaurant launching an online campaign in order to lure people to try their pizza. A good campaign would place the product in the center and highlight offerings that consumers may find particularly appealing. But people differ in their preferences: some like savory pizza toppings like anchovy; some enjoy spicy toppings like jalapenos; and others prefer sweet toppings like pineapple. Some consumers are also lactose-intolerant and look for pizza with lactose-free cheese. Some seek a gluten-free pizza. These different needs and preferences of consumers are, to some degree, related to genetically regulated biological processes that govern our sensory perception and metabolism. In such cases, the consumers' genetic markup may be more informative about their needs than their demographics. The pizza restaurant could partner with a genetic-testing company, like Spotify and AirBnB did, and try to create a genetically personalized promotion strategy and customized ads for each consumer. They may not even need an access to genetic data, and simply ask the genetic-testing company to run the campaign on their behalf, just like marketers use Facebook's advertising platform without having access to each consumer's data. Not long ago, this would have sounded like science fiction, but we are seeing companies that have already been doing similar things.
Knowledge@Wharton: What are the ethical concerns with using genetic data in marketing?
Daviet: People might not realize the amount of information their DNA contains and the potential consequences of leaving their data within the hand of for-profit companies. Once a private company holds the data, they might be interested in monetizing it as much as possible, which includes selling it to other companies, and ultimately risk being detrimental to consumers. When people agree to share their genetic data, do they think thoroughly about all the potential consequences? Another issue is that your genome is not only informative about yourself, but also about your relatives who share part of their genome with you. These relatives might not have given their consent for you to share their data and have companies trying to monetize it.
A subsequent risk is also a potential reinforcement of discriminations. For instance, a university might identify which genetic patterns are associated with higher performance among students and target similar individuals in their marketing campaigns with incentives to enroll, increasing further the gap between already advantaged students and the others.
Nave: An additional serious concern is misinformation. People are, in general, fascinated with their genomes, and genetics is strongly associated with scientific discovery in their minds. Because of this, consumers might tend to believe that every recommendation that is based on their genetic data relies on solid scientific evidence, even when it is not explicitly stated. In reality, the science is often quite shaky, and even when it is not, the role of genetics in many cases is relatively small, compared to environmental factors. Over the past years we have witnessed the emergence of startups that allegedly tailor wine recommendations or help people find romantic partners based on their genetic markup. These applications are not based on solid science, and we are concerned that the average consumer might not realize that.
Knowledge@Wharton: In the paper, you point out that there are very few laws in the United States to regulate the use of genetic data, especially when compared with the laws in Europe. Why is the U.S. lagging behind, and what kinds of laws or policies are needed?
Daviet: The U.S. has a history of trying to regulate industries only once harm has been done and social pressure increases on politicians. Europe tends to be more proactive. In the U.S., we can see that the Federal Trade Commission only started last week to investigate how internet giants collect and use personal data, although those practices have been going on for years. Moreover, we are only looking at an investigation and have absolutely no guarantee that this will result in any regulatory changes. As industry actors have a lot more active lobbying power than consumers, it is unlikely that the U.S. will ever be a first mover in that field. We believe that genetic data should be considered as very personal and sensitive, like medical records or tax returns. Regulations that prevent retaining and sharing data would probably be beneficial in that sense. If genetic data is retained, it should be encrypted with specific security features. Finally, any data mining for commercial purposes should be individually accepted by the consumer, not as is currently done with a general blanket term, allowing its use for any "marketing and personalization purposes." An optimal solution would be to have the data encrypted and processed on the consumer device, and never shared with private companies.
Knowledge@Wharton: In the paper, you say that there are "gaps in the knowledge" on this subject and that further research is needed. What are those gaps, and what's next for this research?
Daviet: We all know that the advertising giants are accumulating data about your every action to predict what products you would buy, what services you would consume, and which ads you better respond to. The potential of genetic data for marketing depends on its capacity to improve predictions beyond these already existing data. While we know that genetic data is informative about virtually every human trait and behavior, we don't know in which sectors, for which products, and by how much it is informative beyond existing data.
Nave: We also don't know how consumers will react to having their genetic data used for marketing purposes. Genetic research has many health-related applications, potential marketing uses being only one of them. For example, a recent study identified several genetic variants related to the chance of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms once the virus is contracted. Such discoveries could lead to development of new therapeutics and save lives. Eventually, scientific discoveries in this domain critically depend on people taking genetic tests and consenting to participate in research. If the consequence of using genetic data by marketers is that people would just stop taking genetic tests, this might backfire and we would all pay the price. We are currently investigating all these issues and expect to have new findings soon.

At Myron Fishbein Family Dentistry, our Toms River Dental office recommends that patients come in once a year for a dentist appointment and cleaning. This is a good way to start preventive care for teeth, because it allows us to check the teeth and perform a cleaning that can thoroughly get in between the gums and teeth. Preventive care involves brushing and flossing, as well as regular dentist visits.
Preventive care helps to fight gum disease such as gingivitis. Gingivitis can happen to anyone, and most common symptoms include redness, swelling, sore gums and bleeding. It can be helped with proper brushing and flossing and a good oral hygiene regimen. Our Toms River Dental Office can tell you more about preventive care, and how to keep your teeth healthy and clean.
Dr. Fishbein has been in practice for 42 years in Toms River, NJ and Forked River, NJ and provides patients with 24 hour emergency service. He is a member of the American Dental Association and received his Bachelor of Arts from Brooklyn College, NY. His Doctor of Medical Dentistry is from Tufts Dental School in Boston, Massachusetts. His commitment to patient excellence shows in both his caring manner and in his staff's caring professionalism as well. Please feel free to check our website for reviews, to schedule appointments and to learn more about our amazing services and dental care. We now offer the All-on-4 technique, which is used as a permanent fixed replacement for teeth and involves only one surgery for implantation without the need for bone grafting. Patients can have a full set of temporary teeth on the same day of their procedure. It is a cost effective, fast way to have a full set of teeth again, with replacement teeth that can function like natural teeth do. For more information on this revolutionary new procedure, call our Toms River dental office today. | {

Bills Parliament
Health, Education and Social Welfare
The Family Courts (Amendment) Bill, 2022
The Family Courts (Amendment) Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha on July 18, 2022. The Bill amends the Family Courts Act, 1984. The Act allows state governments to establish Family Courts. The central government is empowered to notify dates for the Act to come into force in different states. The governments of Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland have set up Family Courts in their states under the Act. However, the central government has not extended the application of the Act to these states.
Application of Act in Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland: The Bill seeks to extend the application of the Act to the state of Himachal Pradesh, with effect from February 15, 2019, and to the state of Nagaland, with effect from September 12, 2008. The establishment of Family Courts in both the states will be retrospectively valid from these dates. All actions taken under the Act in both the states, including the appointment of judges, and orders and judgments passed by the Family Courts, will also be deemed to be valid from these dates retrospectively.

What are the products manufactured from, and how are they made?
Each product is cast in a mould, and is therefore completely solid, and the same colour all the way through. The liquid, called Resiquartz, has a resin based formula, and contains organic fillers, giving each a unique finish. The liquid in the mould is de-gassed, and allowed to cure in a special oven.

Obama's 'Yemen Model' for the War on ISIS Is a Wreck
The Obama administration may think it's winning the fight against Al Qaeda and building democracy in Yemen. But that's not the way it looks on the ground.
Shuaib Almosawa
Updated Apr. 14, 2017 2:50PM ET / Published Sep. 12, 2014 1:15PM ET
Khaled Abdullah/Reuters
SANAA, Yemen — Mubarak Ali Mubarak, 32, was driving along the coastal road above the Arabian Sea when a police officer stopped him at a checkpoint near the port of Al Mukalla and told him to turn around immediately.
"When I asked him why," recalls Mubarak, a local travel agent, "he said that Ansar al Sharia is coming this way and about to strike inside the city."
Ansar al Sharia is the local named used for the organization Washington calls Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). On Wednesday, as President Barack Obama addressed the American public, announcing a quasi-war against the new threat of the so-called Islamic State (aka ISIS aka ISIL) in Iraq and Syria, he held up Yemen as a model of the strategy.
"This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort … using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground," said Obama. "This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years."
Here on the ground, as Mubarak Ali Mubarak discovered, it's much harder to use the word "success." On the evening of August 14 Mubarak turned his car around as ordered. Two hours later explosions rocked downtown Al Mukalla as militants and government forces skirmished in the biggest city in the Yemeni region of Hadramaut which, not coincidentally, is the ancestral home of the Bin Laden family.
The "Yemen model" was first put into effect before the uprisings of 2011, known as the Arab Spring, added whole new layers of chaos to the entire region and left the Sanaa government paralyzed. Once that happened, in order to counter Al Qaeda's growing threat and avert a civil war the Obama administration backed a transition roadmap brokered by Yemen's oil rich neighbors on the Arabia Peninsula. The deal dictated redistribution of power among competing political parties, but at its core was the replacement of longtime president, the wily Ali Abdullah Saleh, with his deputy Abdu Rabbu Mansoor Hadi, who was known as a more willing partner in the war on terrorists.
Compared to the disaster in Syria and the complications of Egypt, the relative ease of the transition in Yemen inspired glowing rhetoric from Obama. "We do have a committed partner in President Hadi and his government," Obama said back in June in early remarks about the crisis in Iraq. "And we have been able to help to develop their capacities without putting large numbers of U.S. troops on the ground, at the same time as we've got enough CT, or counterterrorism, capabilities that we're able to go after folks that might try to hit our embassy or might be trying to export terrorism into Europe or the United States."
"CT" includes drones with Hellfire missiles, but there's more to it than that. U.S. aid to Yemen during transition has totaled over $600 million that U.S. officials say aims at a broader approach to the elimination of the Al Qaeda threat. President Hadi may come across as a committed partner -- he has even publicly praised the drones, claiming they have "pinpoint accuracy with a zero margin of error" -- but his government's commitment to fight the militants is questionable.
According to Yemeni intelligence memos obtained by The Daily Beast, Obama's Yemen model has been helpless to prevent recent waves of Al Qaeda attacks despite being notified of their specifics days and weeks before.
The National Security Bureau (NSB), a U.S.-established and financed intelligence gathering agency that works closely with the Americans to track down Al Qaeda, issued classified memos on July 21 reporting that Al Qaeda was planning to carry out attacks in three strategic provinces, including the capital. The memo, citing a heightened security threat, said that the attacks were scheduled for July 25, 2014.
If Al Qaeda thought it would meet resistance, said one of the several related memos, the attacks would be postponed until one of the first days of August and would target Lahij, the capital of a strategic southern province that hosts a major military base. The intelligence, directed to the ministry of interior and other related security agencies, said that Al Qaeda was planning to bomb all government there and then declare Lahij an Islamic emirate. All security apparatuses were advised to remain fully prepared for the planned attacks.
Al-Qaeda overran Lahij on August 11 unchallenged, bombed the buildings specified in the memos, then left. This followed on attacks in the eastern parts of Hadramaut, where Al Qaeda briefly overran the Al Qatn district, destroyed almost all security buildings and robbed a bank. Al Qaeda also hijacked a public bus in Seiyun that carried 14 unarmed soldiers heading home on leave. In the style of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the group severed the heads of the soldiers one by one and posted footage of the killing on YouTube.
For the past couple of months, government reinforcements have been pouring into Seiyun, where the troops of the 1st Military Zone are headquartered. They are said to be preparing an offensive against Al Qaeda, even as the government claims it has total control over the region.
In fact, fighting continues in Hadramaut as well as the other southern provinces of Lahij, Abyan and Shabwa. In most cases, it's the militants who have initiated the combat. No accurate number for government casualties is available, but it's believed to be high, and the militants appear to be exploiting divisions in the demoralized army.
The southern provinces have never been well integrated into the rest of the Yemen. Indeed, North Yemen and South Yemen were separate countries from 1967 to 1990 and fought a civil war in 1994. Al Qaeda exploits the continued separatist sentiment, which has been aggravated by the security crackdown and political marginalization.
All of this is playing out against a backdrop of ferocious political rivalries and discord in the capital of Sanaa. The "Yemen model" in 2011 managed to bring fighting between competing powers to an end and promised to address longtime grievances. It also engaged two marginalized groups, the Shia Houthi and some of the disgruntled movements in the south. There were inclusive talks known as the National Dialogue Conference (NDC), brainstorming sessions to develop ideas for a new constitution. But the Hadi government's failure to address longstanding issues, has brought the Islamist-led government and the Hadi presidency to the brink of collapse.
Thousands have been demonstrating in the streets of the capital, calling on Hadi to oust allegedly corrupt members of the government. Thousands more members of powerful tribes are now positioned at the entrances to Sanaa, encircling the city. Protesters have raised three demands: reinstating fuel subsides that government cancelled in July, forming a new inclusive government "capable of addressing longstanding issues" and implementing the NDC proposals. Hadi had partly reinstated the subsidies by 25 percent, but protesters demanded all be reinstated. Talks are deadlocked and the government has cracked down violently on the demonstrators.
The protest was called by Abdulmalik al-Houthi, the leader of the Houthi group, a Shia movement known for its anti-American sentiment. After several wars with the central government over the years and a rare intervention by Saudi Arabia in the last round, which ended in 2010, the movement emerged well armed and with growing influence. It is often alleged to have ties to Iran. But it has garnered support beyond the country's Shia population and claims to speak for an oppressed, marginalized majority. As such, it presents a serious political threat to Al-Islah, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is also affiliated with certain tribal factions.
(Nobody said Middle Eastern politics is simple, which is one of the facts the Obama administration has to keep in mind, whatever "model" it adopts. In Yemen as anywhere else, all politics is local, and as in Iraq or Syria, local politics more often than not is tribal.)
"In general, the Houthis are completely independent of the regime in Sanaa, yet they do not want to secede. They represent an independent power source that cannot be bought or coopted like others in the Yemeni political system," says Charles Schmitz, a Yemen expert and professor at Towson University in Maryland. "For the north they are very significant because they are rapidly changing the local balance of power and even challenging to some extent the tribal system."
"The Houthi media blames everything on the Americans and the Houthis are very anti-American-government," says Schmitz. "But I think their anti-Americanism is really anti-imperialism and pro-sovereignty. The Houthis present themselves as authentically Yemeni and they see the regime in Sanaa as American puppets because of the close relationship between Hadi and the Americans."
Thus far Washington has reacted coolly toward the Houthis. Its main concern is that they not become another Hezbollah. But "this is mostly American fantasy," says Schmitz, who suggests the Houthi could, in fact, become useful allies. "The Houthi are against Al Qaeda. … The Houthi establish good command and control and they have a responsible leadership. The American government is concerned that the Houthis might upset the government in Sanaa, but thus far the Houthis have played the game of the National Dialogue very well."
On September 6, Obama's Assistant for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco visited Sanaa and, according to a White House statement, condemned the Houthis for their "provocative and destabilizing incitement" while she "emphasized that the United States will stand firmly behind the Yemeni government in confronting challenges to progress in the peaceful transition process." Three days later, on September 9, the Yemeni government launched a deadly crackdown on the protesters, some of it captured on video, killing seven and injuring dozens. Since then, skirmishing has continued between the government and the protesters, and Hadi has mounted counter-rallies to "protect national gains," as the slogan goes.
In the meantime, Hadi's government has been cracking down on the press. His elite American-trained forces overran the Al Yemen al Youm TV station in June when it was broadcasting protests over an acute fuel shortage and electricity blackout. The troops looted equipment and generally trashed the place. Hadi dubbed the news coverage a "coup aimed to undermine success of the transition."
Foreign journalists who have run stories that counter government propaganda have either been deported or banned from returning to Yemen. Adam Baron, who reported for McClatchy and the Christian Science Monitor, was deported in May without any government explanation. He had for years "used his singular access to show the gritty realities of the country's counterterrorism struggle, from profiling casualties of US drone strikes to revealing the U.S. interception of Al Qaeda's internal communications," wrote his McClatchy colleague Hannah Allam.
The Yemen model appears to have limited value fighting extremists, and even less establishing democracy. | {

Welcome to the AMT Motorsport blog! I've never done one of these before so accept my apologies if it takes me a little while to get up to speed with the whole process.
We decided a blog would be a better in-depth way to connect with our customers, friends, and racing fans. You can only get so much information from a picture, a short Facebook post, or 140 characters on Twitter. Sometimes long form is just the best way to connect, even in this modern era of 15 second attention spans. I'd like to be able to speak at length on some of the more interest goings-ons at AMT, whether that be race analysis, product explanations, CNC machining - whatever it is that might tickle my fancy. Any questions you may have about any of the above please feel free to leave in the comments or send us a message and chances are we'll cover it in the future.
Anyway it's 4:00 a.m. and once again I'm up early before a race weekend. First one of the year and there are a million things to do, one of which is driving to Connecticut today to pick up my car and bring it straight to the track for Friday testing. Hopefully it works. I'll try not to bombard this blog with posts, but I will try and hop on once a day during this first race weekend to recap that day's activities and with any luck (and preparation and work) share some jubilant stories of race wins. | {

Let's talk a bit about network management. Perhaps not the most exciting topic but I'm going to show you how you can use CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) to help you build network maps and what other information it can reveal.
Most networks have multiple switches and/or routers and to make our life easier it's good to have a network map that shows us how everything is connected to each other, what kind of devices we have, to what VLAN they belong and the IP addresses that we are using. CDP is a Cisco protocol that runs on all Cisco devices that helps us discover Cisco devices on the network. CDP is Cisco proprietary, runs on the data-link layer and is enabled by default.
It's always so good read your articles! I can understand them and make me feeling smarter Thanks!!!
I work as technical support in Internet Services & Communications company and we don't use Cisco products only, we also use other network products from different vendors like Ubiquiti, mikrotik, Exalt, etc. and we connect all these different products with each other!!
so when I use CDP to show which devices connected to cisco switch or router I noticed that information of different vendors products also appears to me!!
My question is why I show this info ? I know that CDP is Cisco proprietary so how it's able to identify the products from other vendors???
Cisco ASA doesn't seem to have CDP available. Is it maybe configured a different way?
I work with Cisco ASRs devices running cisco XR OS, and they don't have CDP enabled by default. You have to enable it globally withcdp run command and that's not enough to make it work. You still have to enable it per interface as well with cdp enable command.
ASAs don't have CDP feature and it make sense since they are firewall devices. but there is a trick way to do this, I will lab it and show you the commands. | {

If you have a planned print job in mind, you will need to secure the services of the right print photocopy shop. Finding the right professional printing company to handle all your printing needs, on a one-off or regular basis, is essential as it determines quality of the end result; and the overall success of the entire project.
Settling on a single print shop can be quite problematic given the wide variety of available options. Use the tips below to choose the right printing company to handle your printing needs, regardless of whether it's your first time or not.
The first thing you need to do before you even start your search for the best print shop London is to come up with a detailed description of the project requirements. Start by identifying your targeted audience. Find out what your brief is; and the type of media required for the project. Prepare the necessary artwork, and ensure that it is of the right quality; and has what it takes to achieve your intended purpose.
Once you have a clear definition of your specific printing needs, you can get on with the task of finding the right print shop.
After defining your printing needs, you should have a clear idea of the required printing equipment. Printing equipment is divided into two main types, offset and digital. While some print shops will be equipped with both types of printing equipment some will not.
Take the time to find out whether the printing shops you are considering for hire have the equipment needed to produce what you want. It's worth mentioning that choosing a print shop with both types of equipment ensures that you always have what you need at your disposal, regardless of the current project requirements.
Before hiring a print shop, be sure to find out whether they can be able to deliver on the print quality you have in mind. You can use a printer's past projects to find out whether they can meet your expectations. Ask the printers in your shortlist to provide you with some samples of some of their past projects.
Take the time to assess the quality of the samples provided to get a clear idea of whether the printer is capable of handling the task at hand.
In most cases, all professional printing establishments will have the necessary equipment needed to produce the material you want; it is the level of customer service offered that separates the best from the rest.
Does the printer maintain open lines of communication with clients throughout the project? Also, find out more about how the printer under consideration handles any issues that crop up during the printing process, including how they can help you meet strict deadlines.
The right printing company should be able to offer other services, in addition to the main printing service. Finding a one stop shop for all your printing, and related, needs can save you a lot of time, money and the associated headache of working with different service providers on every printing project you might have.
A printer who offers a host of additional services such as creative design, sample production and media distribution, in addition to the printing service, brings more value to the table as opposed to one who only specializes in printing alone.
Since printing services come at a cost, it's only right that you consider this important factor when it comes to choosing the right print shop. Ask each of the companies under consideration to provide detailed cost estimates for the project at hand.
The basic rule here is to avoid making a decision based on the quoted price alone, instead taking the time to assess the contents of each quote. Be sure to identify each of the cost items included in each quote and their value with respect to your needs; this will help guide you to the option offering the best value for your money.
There are many print shops out there competing for your business, using the above tips as a guide to the right option will definitely work out in your favour. At the end of it all, you should be able to choose a professional printing company that meets all your current, and where necessary future, needs.

I'm having a spa slumber party with all the gals from my wedding and I want to do some fun at home facials. Anyone have some good suggestions of quality at home facials that aren't too expensive?
Anything thats all natural and wouldn't irritate sensitive skin would probably be the best bet! You def don't want any irritations, rashes or breakouts! | {

I just read an article about the recent wordpress vulnerability (if you're running wordpress, please update to 2.5.1 NOW), one point raised my attention: The attack uses MD5-collisions.
I wrote some articles about hash collisions a while back. Short introduction: A cryptographic hash-function is a function where you can put in any data and you'll get a unique, fixed-size value. »unique« in this case scenario means that it's very hard to calculate two different strings matching to the same hash value. If you can do that, the function should be considered broken.
The MD5 function got broken some years back (2004) and it's more or less a question of time when the same will happen to SHA1. There have been scientific results claiming that an attacker with enough money could easily create a supercomputer able to create collisions on SHA1. The evil thing is: Due to the design of both functions, if you have one collision, you can create many more easily.
Although those facts are well known, SHA1 is still widely used (just have a look at your SSL connections or at the way the PGP web of trust works) and MD5 isn't dead either. The fact that a well-known piece of software got issues depending on hash collisions should raise attention. Pretty much all security considerations on cryptographic protocols rely on the collision resistance of hash functions.
The NIST plans to define new hash functions until 2012, until then it's probably a safe choice to stick with SHA256 or SHA512.
Today heise security brought a news that a growing number of old wordpress installations get's misused by spammers to improve their pagerank. I've more or less waited for something like that, because it's quite obvious: If you have an automated mechanism to use security holes in a popular web application, you can search for them with a search engine (google, the mighty hacktool) and usually it's quite trivial to detect both application and version.
This isn't a wordpress-thing only, this can happen to pretty much every widespread web application. Wordpress had a lot of security issues recently and is very widespread, so it's an obvious choice. But other incidents like this will follow and future ones probably will affect more different web applications.
The conclusion is quite simple: If you're installing a web application yourself, you are responsible for it! You need to look for security updates and you need to install them, else you might be responsible for spammers actions. And there's no »nobody is interested in my little blog«-excuse, as these are not attacks against an individual page, but mass attacks.
For administrators, I wrote a little tool a while back, where I had such incidents in mind: freewvs, it checks locally on the filesystem for web applications and knows about vulnerabilities, so it'll tell you which web applications need updates. It already detects a whole bunch of apps, while more is always better and if you'd like to help, I'd gladly accept patches for more applications (the format is quite simple).
With it, server administrators can check the webroots of thier users and nag them if they have outdated cruft laying around. | {

Membracoidea ist eine Überfamilie der Rundkopfzikaden (= Cicadomorpha), sie enthält über 28.000 Arten in fünf Familien mit insgesamt 3.500 Gattungen. Diese Zikaden sind weltweit verbreitet, die einzelnen Arten können etwa 2 bis 30 mm lang sein. Hintertibien sind lang und kantig, sie haben meist Längsreihen mit Borsten, Dornen oder Haaren.
Viele Arten können gut springen. Innerhalb der Arten gibt es meist Kommunikation mit Hilfe von Substratvibration.
Systematik:
Cicadellidae (= Jassidae, Zwergzikaden), die artenreichste Familie der Membracoidea, 20–25.000 Arten, weltweit verbreitet, in den Tropen und Subtropen besonders arten- und formenreich; teilweise sehr farbenprächtig.
Membracidae (Buckelzikaden, Buckelzirpen), über 3.200 Arten, mit stark entwickeltem Pronotum, meist hochgewölbt, manchmal bizarr geformt; vor allem in tropischen und subtropischen Gebieten der Neotropis verbreitet, aber auch in Asien und Afrika häufig.
Aetalionidae (manchmal "Falsche Buckelzikaden" genannt), Pronotum kleiner als bei den Membracidae, Scutellum mit Kiel, nur ca. 40 Arten, sechs Gattungen, sowohl in der Neuen Welt als auch in der Orientalis. Vermutlich die Schwestergruppe der Membracidae.
Melizoderidae (= Helmzikaden), Pronotum helmartig nach vorne erweitert, nur 8 Arten in Chile und Argentinien. Vermutlich die Schwestergruppe der Aetalionidae + Membracidae.
Myerslopiidae (= Mooszikaden), nur ca. 15 Arten in Neuseeland und Chile, klein, nur 2–4 mm, leben im Moos.
Karajassidae, nur fossil bekannt, vermutlich die Schwestergruppe der anderen Membracoidea.

Cet article est la liste des épisodes de l'anime Romeo x Juliet.
L'anime est composé de 24 épisodes, qui sont nommés « acte » en référence au découpage d'une pièce de théâtre, qui est le support original de l'œuvre Shakespearienne Roméo et Juliette.
D'ailleurs, le titre original de chaque épisode comporte un sous-titre en italien, car l'action se déroule dans la ville de Vérone, en Italie.
L'anime a été produit jointement par Gonzo et Sky Perfect Well Think, avec Fumitoshi Oizaki en tant que producteur principal. Le scénario est créé par Reiko Yoshida tandis que le chara-design est attribué à Hiroki Harada.
Il a été diffusé du au sur CBC, TBS, KBS Kyōto et SUN-TV.
En 2010, le diffuseur Black Box licencie l'anime et propose une version DVD en deux parties sous-titrée en français uniquement. En 2014, une version française sort en DVD dans une version Gold.
Doublage
Musique
Les génériques ont la particularité d'être radicalement opposés : l'opening est une ballade — version japonaise d'une chanson déjà existante et mondialement connue chantée originellement par le duo Secret Garden, puis reprise entre autres par Josh Groban, tandis que le premier ending est très rock.
L'opening, intitulé Inori ~ You Raise Me Up, est interprété par la chanteuse coréenne Lena Park.
Le premier ending (épisodes 1 à 14), intitulé Cyclone, est interprété par le groupe de J-Rock 12012.
Le second ending (épisodes 15 à 23), intitulé Good Bye, Yesterday, est interprété par la chanteuse de J-pop Miz.
L'ending final (épisode 24), intitulé You Raise Me Up, est interprété par la chanteuse coréenne Lena Park.
Liste des épisodes
N.B: L'anime ayant été licencié en version française, les titres sont donc la version officielle.

2 Great Tours - 2 Great Experiences!

The tour(s) include bus transportation (for the tour itself), wine and/or beer tasting, locally prepared treats, tours of historic buildings, and a famous Bruce County church supper, complete with all the trimmings and home-made pies!
Timing: Each tour takes place on a Saturday, from 2 - 7pm. The full course meal, for each tour, is served at 5:30pm. Please check dates below.
Attire: Individuals are encouraged to dress casually and dress for the weather. No open-toes shoes please. There is some walking involved, but not too much. Individuals are certainly more than welcome to stay on the bus during these stops if they wish.
Given the interest in this magnificent wetland and its rich culture, staff, in conjunction with Regional Tourism Organition 7 (RTO7), the Municipality of Brockton and Bruce County designed tours for the swamp that have been extremely popular.
This tour encompasses the legends and lore of this incredible natural area. This swamp has always been a source of intrigue since the first Euopean settlers arrived in the mid-1800's. Legends abound about man-eating plants, quick sand and a mysterious green light that has driven even the most dedicated outdoorsman, running for his life.
This tour features lots of legends and lore, as well as tours of local historic buildings (including the Chepstow Inn), wine tasting, a walk along the floating boardwalk system, a visit to the Village of Cargill, the centre of all the 1800's great logging era, a tour into the infamous Greenock Swamp, and, as a finale - a full course Bruce County church supper and more!

We'll talk about the hidden stills, those who tried to run from the law, the failures and the hilarious antics that went on during this time period.
Also included on this tour, is a visit to the Walkerton Jail which operated for 144 years. Retrace the footsteps of the famous inmates and learn about the incredible escape artists.

Learning Letart Nature Park
- Trail maps are found in the park kiosk near the main trail head.
- 263 acres are dedicated to the Nature Park and nine acres to the Community Center/Park area for a total of 272 acres.
- Around seven miles of hiking trails can be followed in the Nature Park.
- Hiking and walking trails are open year-round
- Admission to the park is free
- Only authorized motor vehicles allowed on trails (this mean vehicles being used for development and maintenance of the park).
LETART, W.Va. — Sometimes what you're looking for is in your own backyard.
With visiting restrictions in some state parks and anything involving crowds frowned upon by public health officials, finding a place to reconnect with nature has been a challenge but an acceptable and rewarding activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hiking trails are an option for those wanting to connect with nature and escape humanity. In Mason County, there are roughly seven miles of hiking trails and a gravel walking trail at Letart Nature Park, just behind Letart Community Center. The property is owned by Mason County, and maintained by the volunteers with the Letart Nature Park Development Organization, which took over as stewards of the acreage in 2013. There are 263 acres dedicated to the Nature Park and nine acres on the Community Center/Park area for a total of 272 acres.
In 2015, with the help of the Army National Guard and volunteers, trails were cleared, mapped and marked. Specifically, the Guard graded the main trail, built silt dams to control erosion and added culverts for drainage.
"Several trails have been expanded to connect to other trails," Maryilyn Kearns, president of the park's development organization said. "Trails are mowed several times a year. Benches, birdhouses and a pollinator station have been added. A massive amount of trash has been removed which included one area that had been an unofficial dump for many years. We have seeded parts of some trails to control erosion. We typically have a couple fundraisers during the year which has allowed us to purchase a bush hog and also build a metal pole building for storage."
Volunteers are continuing to make and set trail markers, with continuous mowing and maintenance of trails and benches, adding more trails and connecting existing trails, adding duck houses around the pond, building and setting up additional pollinator stations.
"The maintenance of trails includes constant removal of fallen trees and branches as well as trimming back growing brush and vines," Kearns said. "Woodmen of the World has donated a flag and flag pole which will be set up and lighted on the hillside as soon as weather permits."
Though many trails have been created and marked, they are a project that is never really "finished."
"The trails will never really be done, however we hope to improve on some remaining drainage issues, continue clearing new trails, complete installation of remaining trail markers and updating of maps as new trails are added," Kearns said. "We will continue to enhance the trails with benches, picnic spots, educational stops, viewing sites, etc."
One of the jobs that is "never-ending" is trash pick-up and Kearns said they welcome help from individuals or groups who would like to volunteer picking up trash left at the park and on the trails. The group also plans to remove a few larger items from the property (rusty metal and appliances).
"We would like to continue to grow our membership," Kearns said. "Although our members and others in the community continue to put in many volunteer hours, we still need more manpower. We need people with construction skills to build picnic tables, benches, footbridges, birdhouses, etc. One of our goals is to clean-up or restore the two ponds that are on the property and we are seeking professional guidance and funding sources for that project. We need mowing equipment for the narrower and steeper trails."
To promote pollinator populations, the park has added two pollinator stations/plots to provide habitat to help rebuild populations.
"We hope these stations will be an educational source and also inspire visitors to build their own stations or plant pollinator plots," Kearns explained. "Two stations have been constructed by park members … one has been set-up and the other one will be installed in the near future. They are being filled with nesting material for bees, butterflies, birds, wasps, and various other pollinators. The flower plots surrounding the stations will be completed within the next few weeks. We will also be providing additional educational materials at each station."
According to Kearns, trail development has been the group's main focus, however, in keeping with their mission statement to also promote educational opportunities, the park committee have been able to host the traveling Korean War Memorial and the traveling WWII Memorial over the past two years.
"Both of these events were well attended and provided a unique opportunity to showcase the park as we paid tribute to those who served," Kearns said.
When asked what she wished more people knew about the park, Kearns answered, "Many people are not even aware the park exists. It is easily accessible and only about 10 minutes from New Haven and 20 minutes from Point Pleasant. The address is 23669 Sandhill Road. The park trails are open year round. The park is open to the public and there is no cost to people using the park. The Nature Park has been developed and is maintained by community volunteers and donations."
Although the park committee's social activities are temporarily on hold due to COVID-19 concerns, maintenance work is continuing such as mowing, trimming branches, planting flowers, or anything that can be done while maintaining social distancing.
"We encourage everyone to watch for upcoming events on our website at www.letartnaturepark.com or Facebook at Letart Nature Park Development Organization," Kearns said. "Our monthly meetings are also temporarily suspended, however we will make an announcement on Facebook once we are able to resume meeting."
Also at the park, areas to picnic, a playground, a primitive restroom facility and multiple trash receptacles.

Q: term derivation I am trying to take partial derivative of sum:
$$Cv_m=\sum_{i=1}^{Ns}Cv_i \frac{\rho_i}{\rho_m},$$ where $Cv_i$ are constants.
I want to take derivative
$$\partial{Cv_m}/\partial\rho_i=Cv_i /\rho_m$$
D[Sum[Subscript[Cv, i]*Subscript[rhoY, i]/rhom, {i, 1,
Ns}], Subscript[rhoY, i]]
I expected $Cv_i/\rho_m$, but it gives me $\sum_{i=1}^{Ns}Cv_i/\rho_m$
How get rid of sum symbol?
A: Have a closer look, the output of the following contains a KroneckerDelta:
a = D[Sum[Cv[i]*ρ[i]/ρ[m], {i, 1, Ns}], ρ[j]]
$$\sum _{i=1}^{\text{Ns}} \frac{\text{Cv}(i) \delta _{i,j}}{\rho (m)}$$
so the result is correct.
You can get rid of the sum with
Assuming[j \[Element] Integers && 1 <= j <= Ns, Simplify[a]]
$$\frac{\text{Cv}(j)}{\rho (m)}$$

The film "22 July" is a dramatization of the 2011 massacre at a Norweigan summer camp. A right-wing fanatic killed 77 people. Jeffrey Brown talks with British Director Paul Greengrass about the film, the country's reaction to the massacre and the ongoing rise of the extreme right. Brown also speaks with journalist Asne Seierstad, who wrote the 2016 book on which the film is based. | {

Q: Uploading scores with GameKit How do I save and upload scores later if there is no connection available? In a WWDC session it says to use the following code if no connection is available:
NSData *archivedScore = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:[NSData dataWithBytes:&score length:sizeof(score)]];
I then save the NSData object to NSUSerDefaults. But how do I get an int score value back from that to report?
Thanks
A: Use NSKeyedUnarchiver (from Archives and Serializations Programming Guide)
int score = 42;
NSData *archivedScore = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:[NSData dataWithBytes:&score length:sizeof(score)]];
int *scorePtr = [[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:archivedScore] bytes];
NSLog(@"score = %d", *scorePtr); // Output: score = 42

Grilled Trout, Barbecued Pork Loin, are some of the main courses this week.
The poussin that we get are very young chickens and weigh about 18oz (550gr) each. They are perfect individual servings (with maybe a snack leftover). If you get larger birds one may be enough; you could cut it in half before cooking, if you like.
2 Cornish game hens or poussin (little chickens), depending on size.
1 cup ice cubes app.
At least 2 hours and up to 7 hours before cooking, mix water, salt, sugar and vinegar in a deep bowl. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
Peel garlic and smash with the flat of the knife.
Add garlic, bay leaves and juniper berries (if using).
Cover and refrigerate, turning occasionally, until ready to cook.
Remove chicken and allow to air dry for 15 minutes (or up to 30).
Mix olive oil and lemon juice.
Cook hens on barbecue grill over indirect heat (either charcoal or gas), covered, for 45 - 60 minutes, depending on size, or until done.
Start basting after about 15 minutes and baste 2 or 3 times. Poultry is done at 160 F (70C) on your meat thermometer and/or the juices run clear when pierced with knife.
The legs will also wiggle freely and the hens will be a lovely golden brown.
Or they can be baked in a shallow roasting pan in a 400F oven for 45 - 60 minutes, until done. If baking, start basting immediately.
The Grill Expert came up with the idea of having a very thin basting sauce to keep the pork moist... It worked. The pork is enough for 2 meals.
Mix chili powder and garlic.
Cook pork loin on barbecue grill, over indirect heat with the cover closed. Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145F (62C) Use an instant read or a remote meat thermometer for best results. If you don't have either, take the roast off and slice into it after 40 - 50 minutes (depending on weight and shape) to test. It should be almost cooked through with a bit of pale pink in the center.
Mix coffee, soy sauce and red wine vinegar.
Spoon sauce over pork every 8 - 10 minutes starting immediately.
In a small bowl whisk together all ingredients for Barbecue Sauce.
Baste pork with 3 tbs barbecue sauce after 40 minutes. Serve the rest on the side.
When pork is done, remove, cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice and serve, barbecue sauce on the side.
Could also be roasted in a 400F (200C) oven for about the same amount of time.
You can use bottled Sweet and Sour Sauce or my recipe - which makes just the right amount. I usually use mushrooms raw in salads, but sometimes, as here, they are sautéed to absorb and blend the flavors.
Pour 2 tbs Teriyaki sauce over chicken and allow to marinated a few minutes.
Clean and thickly slice mushrooms.
In nonstick skillet heat oil and 1 tbs Teriyaki sauce.
When hot add mushrooms, pepper and sauté briefly, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook chicken on barbecue grill over direct heat for 8 - 10 minutes per side. When done remove and slice.
Or: cut into strips before marinating, toss with Teriyaki sauce and stir-fry in nonstick skillet in 1 tbs oil for 4 - 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch to boiling, stirring with a whisk.
Prepare lettuce and put into a large salad bowl along with chives.
Toss with about half of the vinaigrette - it's quite thick so it takes a bit of tossing to distribute it well - be careful not to use too much to start.
When it is to your liking, add mushrooms, peppers and toss gently. Arrange chicken on top. Drizzle with a bit of vinaigrette, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with remaining vinaigrette on the side.
Note: Toast sesame seeds in a dry, nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat, 3 - 6 minutes. Start flipping them or shaking the skillet after 1 - 2 minutes and remove as soon as light brown.
The cheese and tomato are on the inside. The cheese melts (barely) but the tomato stays firm. Serve with or without buns.
Cut 4 slices of tomato.
Divide meat into 8 portions.
Shape 4 thin patties about the size of the tomato slices.
Place 1 tomato slice, 1 slice of mozzarella and 1 or 2 basil leaves on each patty.
Shape 4 more thin patties and place on top.
Oil hinged basket. Place patties in basket and secure.
Cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 3 - 4 minutes per side.
Grilled chicken breasts finished with a warm mustard sauce; a little bit of heat for summer cooking.
1 tbs Dijon-style mustard - yes, another tbs.
Combine stock, sherry in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Continue to boil until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
Whisk in mustards, reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes.
Mix 1 tbs Dijon mustard with 1 tbs olive oil and spread on chicken breasts.
Cook on barbecue grill for 10 - 15 minutes or until done. Remove from heat, slice and serve with sauce.
Or can be baked for 20 - 25 minutes 400F or sauté for 15 - 20 minutes - in all cases until done. | {

The Journal of Medicinal Plants Research (JMPR) provides researchers, students and academicians an avenue to present their findings on the value of medicinal plants, indigenous medications, ethnobotany and ethnomedicine, herbal medicines and the cultivation of aromatic and medicinal plants.
The journal will consider for publication original research, reviews and meta-reviews, and short communication on areas covering nutraceuticals, drug discovery and development, pharmacopoeia, traditional medicine, monographs, and natural products research.
JMPR supports initiatives aimed at improving the reporting of health research. Authors should follow these guidelines when drafting their manuscripts.
It is unethical for authors to submit a manuscript to the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research and at the same time, submit the same manuscript to another journal either within Academic Journals or any other publisher. This includes the submission of manuscripts derived from the same data in such a manner that there are no substantial differences in the manuscripts. Duplicate submission also includes the submission of the same/similar manuscript in different languages to different journals.

Site member and pop culture pundit Johnny M reviews X-Men Origins: Wolverine for us. You can read more of Johnny's reviews and writing in his blog. And let us know what you thought of the movie, here or in the Forum.
This is the story of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), aka Logan, aka James Howlett, aka the mutant with the metal claws, although his past has been alluded to in the three previous X-Men films, of which he was the primary character. The film shows how Wolverine went from a sickly child in the 1800s to a relentless warrior with his half-brother Victor/Sabretooth (Liev Schrieber) at his side. Both are recruited by William Stryker (Danny Huston) to join a special all-mutant military squad, but when a mission goes wrong, Wolverine leaves the group and tries to begin a normal life. Stryker, however, will stop at nothing to get him back and bring him into the fold.
In the previous X-Men films, Hugh Jackman fit well into Wolverine's iconic adamantium claws. He still works here, too, but whereas those films were sharp and entertaining, this one is dull, lifeless and maddeningly transparent. Director Gavin Hood was a strange, ill-fitting choice to make a headstrong action film (he's mostly known for the overhyped South African drama Tsotsi) and his inability to stage a clear, compelling action sequence is one of the film's biggest and more egregious flaws. Fistfights are blurs of movement accented with quick facial reaction shots. At least a dozen directors could have made more fluid, vibrant set pieces at the same salary (Pierre Morel and Kurt Wimmer spring to mind). Hood's also fond of the "star wipe" approach to directing and believes that if something worked once, it will work again no matter how many times he repeats the same sequence over and over again (Wolverine screaming "NO!" to the heavens, Wolverine and Sabretooth charging at each other, etc.). | {

Theta Prometheus FANTASTIC MONO BLOCKS in lovely silver! Absolute POWER DOES NOT CORRUPT!
NEW LOWER PRICE FOR ONE OF THE WOLDS BEST AMPS!!!! GOOGLE the reviews!
A collaboration between Dave Reich, Theta Digital's chief engineer and Bruno Putzeys, class D "Wonderkind" of Hypex fame, Prometheus marks a fundamental departure in our amplifier philosophy. Rather than design amplifiers that highlight the amp/speaker interface and demand careful consideration when choosing the corresponding transducer, Prometheus is completely load agnostic.The frequency response is load invariant. Harmonic distortion, at less than 0.01% at 500 watts RMS full-band at 4 ohms is virtually non-existent. The same is true for IMD.
"First Watt" advocates will happily note THD+N at one watt is lower by a factor of 10: < 0.001%. Notable also is the fact that Prometheus shares with its other N-Core 1200 brethren the lowest output impedance (and highest damping factor) of any amplifier every built. To say that Prometheus exerts the iron-hand of speaker control is a masterpiece of understatement.
In true Theta Digital tradition, Reich and cohorts researched virtually every possible power source before settling on a huge linear supply. For proof, one need only look at the immense 1.44kva toroidal power transformer. Such a dramatic power source insures that Prometheus can deliver full output for any desired duration. All day and all night? No problem.
Parts quality continues in adherence to strict Theta hierarchy. Use only the best parts: Check. Use them the right way: Check. Make the amplifier absolutely beautiful both inside and out: Check.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to mankind. In our Theta Digital mythology, Reich and Putzeys stole amplifier perfection from the gods and gave it to music lovers everywhere.
Before I can make a formal offer I need to sell a couple of items. When I'm ready and if they are still available would you consider $7300 ?
Thanks for the interest. That is a little lower than I wanted to go but not unreasonable. When you get your other items sold please make an offer. | {

Q: How do I strip a part of URL and set the rest as source using JQuery? I am trying to figure out on how do I strip a part of URL and set the rest as source using JQuery? (The part of the URL we're trying to get rid of is the actual domain we are on). SO this will be like forcing the internal link to external one by stripping the main domain name and keeping the rest.
Original Code:
<li data-src="http://khan.zaha.in/https://storage.googleapis.com/shahbano-khan/Media/Audio/Desmeon%20-%20Back%20From%20The%20Dead.mp3" data-title="1. Back From the Dead" class="song-row">
What i need is:
<li data-src="https://storage.googleapis.com/shahbano-khan/Media/Audio/Desmeon%20-%20Back%20From%20The%20Dead.mp3" data-title="1. Back From the Dead" class="song-row">
So we would be getting rid of the originating domain name.
If there is other ways to achieve this, I will be glad to try.
Looking forward to gain healthy help.
Regards,
Syed H
A: We can strip off unwanted string using replace and set it back using attr(attributeName, value) methode
var originalStr = $('li').attr('data-src'); // get current src
var strTobeRemvd = 'http://khan.zaha.in/';
var modified = originalStr.replace(strTobeRemvd,''); //remove the unwanted str
$('li').attr('data-src', modified);// set the modified src back
console.log(modified)
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li data-src="http://khan.zaha.in/https://storage.googleapis.com/shahbano-khan/Media/Audio/Desmeon%20-%20Back%20From%20The%20Dead.mp3" data-title="1. Back From the Dead" class="song-row">
A: If you want to remove all such occurances from any Url and not just from khan.zania domain, this will prove to be more useful as it basically takes the portion of after first http:// or https:// and find the first / till end of url.
$('li[data-src^="http"]').each(function(){
var data=$(this).attr('data-src');
$(this).attr('data-src',data.slice(data.indexOf('/',8)+1));
});
Tried and tested. This works. Hope it helps.
A: You're best doing this via regex, then its not domain specific:
_src = $('.song-row').data('src');
_src = _src.replace(/http:\/\/(?:www\.)?([a-z0-9\-]+)(?:\.[a-z\.]+[\/]?)/g,'');
$('.song-row').attr('data-src', _src);
You can see it working here - https://jsfiddle.net/f6f7wwto/2

SEA PORT AUTHORITY SIGNS CONTRACTS WITH CHINESE CHEC TO CARRY OUT DREDGING WORKS
The Ukrainian Sea Port Authority and China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd. (CHEC) on April 6, 2018 signed two contracts for carrying out dredging works at the Chornomorsk seaport (Odesa region): one document envisages dredging works in the approach canal and the second one – in the water area of the first boot basin of Sukhy estuary.
An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent has reported that the signing ceremony was held with participation of Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan, Ukrainian Sea Port Authority Head Raivis Veckagans, Head of the administration of the Chornomorsk branch of the Ukrainian Sea Port Authority Viacheslav Voloshyn, Head of the administration of the Yuzhny branch of the Ukrainian Sea Port Authority Maksym Shyrokov, Head of the representative office of CHEC in Ukraine Lin Tao, representatives of the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine and journalists.
"The project of dredging the water area of the Chornomorsk seaport provides for an increase in the depths of water approaches and the operational water area of the port to 16 meters and will allow more efficient functioning of one of the largest seaports in Ukraine," Omelyan said.
He thanked Veckagans who, in his words, together with the team, created all the necessary conditions for attracting both national and foreign companies with a world-wide reputation to participate in tenders.
"Traditionally, the contract organization was chosen based on the results of the tender in the ProZorro e-procurement system, which ensures absolute transparency and openness of the process and excludes the possibility of any corruption. Thus, according to the results of the tender, we have saved more than UAH 40 million, and the winner is China Harbour Engineering Company Ltd.," Omelyan said.
As a result of the tender, which took place on March 13, the savings amounted to 10% of the expected value.
The cost of the project is UAH 404 million.
"The project should be implemented before the end of 2018. Reconstruction of the maritime approach canal and the water area of the first boot basin will further allow for the reconstruction of the berths of the Chornomorsk port and the dredging works in the operating area of the berths," Veckagans said.

In this episode, episode 41, I review local anesthetics including the mechanism of action, commonly used agents, pharmacodynamics and kinetics, toxicity and treatment, and common blocks.
In this episode, episode 39, I interview Dr. Steve Frank, Professor of Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins, Medical Director of Blood Management for Johns Hopkins Health System and Chief of Adult Anesthesiology about anesthesia for liver transplants.
In this episode, number 35, I welcome Dr. David Feller-Kopman to the show. Dr. Feller-Kopman is an associate professor of medicine and Otolaryngology and the director of Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology here at Johns Hopkins. I interview him about pleural effusions including what they are, where they come from, how to categorize them, how to treat them and how to deal with them if they recur.
In this episode, episode 33, I welcome cardiac anesthesiologist Dr. Rosanne (Rosie) Sheinberg to the show to discuss ECMO. We go through a comprehensive overview of what ECMO is, how it is used, how it is managed, the complications that can be seen and how to manage them and how to wean it off.
In this episode, episode 30, I discuss the new American College of Cardiology Guidelines for the periprocedural management of anticoagulation for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. This includes whether to stop, when to stop, whether to bridge, how to bridge, and how and when to restart.

IAEA confirms Iran working on uranium metal for reactor fuel
ANS NewsSecurity
January 14, 2021, 12:01PM|ANS Nuclear Cafe
Iran has started work on uranium metal-based fuel for a research reactor, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog and Tehran said on Wednesday. Kazem Gharib Abadi, Iran's representative at the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed that the country has started working on the fuel, saying that everything has been reported to the agency.
Iran's action is the latest breach of its nuclear deal with six significant powers as it presses for a lifting of U.S. sanctions.
What it means: Iran has been accelerating its breaches of the deal in the past two months. Some of those steps were required by a law passed in response to the killing of its top nuclear scientist in November, which Tehran has blamed on its arch foe Israel.
They are also, however, part of a process started by Tehran in 2019 of committing breaches in response to President Trump's 2018 withdrawal from the deal and his reimposition of U.S. sanctions that had been lifted in exchange for restrictions on the country's nuclear activities.
The moves raise pressure on President-elect Joe Biden, who takes office next week and has pledged to return the United States to the deal if Iran first resumes full compliance. Iran wants Washington to lift the sanctions first.

Acting NNSA administrator to step down on Inauguration Day
Bookless
The acting head of the National Nuclear Security Administration will resign January 20, Inauguration Day, according to a report in the Aiken (S.C.) Standard. William Bookless, who has more than four decades of experience in the nuclear security field, will also retire from federal service that day, the agency confirmed to the Standard.
The NNSA has made no official announcement or named a replacement for Bookless as of Thursday morning.

ARDP picks divergent technologies in Natrium, Xe-100: Is nuclear's future taking shape? The Department of Energy has put two reactor designs—TerraPower's Natrium and X-energy's Xe-100—on a fast track to commercialization, each with an initial $80 million in 50-50 cost-shared funds awarded through the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program. Read more.
Report finds uranium resources sufficient for foreseeable future
Adequate uranium resources exist to support the long-term, sustainable use of nuclear energy for low-carbon electricity generation, as well as for other applications, including hydrogen production. That assessment is contained in the latest (28th) edition of Uranium—Resources, Production and Demand, a global, biennial reference prepared jointly by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The publication adds, however, that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent reductions in uranium production and exploration could affect available supplies, suggesting that timely investment in innovative mining and processing techniques would help assure that uranium resources are brought to market when needed.
IAEA, IEA partner to enhance nuclear's role in clean energy transition

To help speed the transition to clean energy that many experts say will be required to achieve global climate goals by mid-century, the International Atomic Energy Agency and International Energy Agency (IEA) have agreed to strengthen cooperation on activities involving nuclear power.
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi and IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol on November 30 signed a memorandum of understanding, under which the two organizations will share data, statistics, energy modeling tools, policy analysis, and research, according to the IAEA on December 3. The agencies will also collaborate on publications, seminars, workshops, and webinars and increase participation in each other's conferences and meetings of mutual interest.
IAEA awards fellowships to 100 female students in nuclear
The International Atomic Energy Agency has awarded fellowships to the first group of 100 female students from around the world under a new initiative to help close the gender gap in nuclear science and technology.
The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Program, named after the pioneering physicist, was launched by IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi in March to support women pursuing nuclear-related careers.
Finland's Onkalo repository a "game changer," says IAEA's Grossi
Onkalo, Finland's deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel, has been characterized as a game changer for the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy by Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"Finland has had the determination to move forward with the project and to bring it to fruition," Grossi said during a November 26 visit to Olkiluoto, Finland, where the repository is under construction. "Waste management has always been at the center of many debates about nuclear energy and the sustainability of nuclear activity around the world. Everybody knew of the idea of a geological repository for high-level radioactive nuclear waste, but Finland did it."
Posiva Oy, the Finnish company tasked with researching and creating a method for the permanent disposal of spent fuel from Finland's Olkiluoto and Loviisa nuclear power plants, obtained a license to construct the Onkalo repository in 2015, marking the first time that a construction license for a geological disposal facility was issued anywhere in the world. The site near the Olkiluoto plant was chosen following several years of screening a number of potential sites.
Pb-210 used to track growing sedimentation in the Caribbean Sea

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, between 750,000 and 1 million metric tons of sediments are discharged into the Caribbean Sea each year. The release of sedimentation into the world's oceans, increasingly from human activities, degrades marine environments and jeopardizes regional fishing industries.
The IAEA is supporting Latin American and Caribbean countries in monitoring and analyzing the scope and scale of sedimentation in the region by providing training on the use of the lead radioisotope Pb-210 in the sampling, monitoring, and study of growing sedimentation in the Caribbean and its effects on marine life. That training has culminated in the publication of a study in the November 2020 issue of the Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, the agency announced on November 5.
New NNSA website helps in nuclear safeguards reporting
The National Nuclear Security Administration has launched RAINS—the Reporting Assistant for International Nuclear Safeguards website—intended to assist users with the requirements surrounding international nuclear safeguards.
Nuclear safeguards are designed to verify that all nuclear material declared by a nation-state is not diverted for non-peaceful uses; detect any misuse of declared facilities or locations outside facilities; and detect any undeclared nuclear material or activities in the nation-state. | {

Darwin's uncle advises him to take a break. A Royal Navy ship, the Beagle, is about to sail to chart the coasts of South America. Why not take part in the voyage? Reluctantly, Darwin's father agrees to allow his son to leave on a two-year voyage. However, the captain of the Beagle, fascinated by faces and superstitious too, refuses to allow Darwin on board: according to him, the shape of Darwin's nose indicates a lack of determination. At the eleventh hour, Darwin's uncle manages to change the captain's mind. Darwin sails aboard the Beagle. | {

Engaged couples can now legally say "I do" while sailing at sea aboard select Norwegian Cruise Line ships starting in April 2015.
Couples can now get legally hitched at sea when sailing aboard some Norwegian Cruise Line ships.
Beginning in April, engaged couples can opt to have their ceremony performed by the ship captain aboard Norwegian Getaway, now sailing from PortMiami, and Norwegian Breakaway, which is based in New York. The new weddings package also will be available on Norwegian Escape when it debuts in Miami this fall.
The wedding-at-sea package costs $2,199 and includes a bridal bouquet and matching boutonniere, champagne toast, wedding cake and more, plus an experienced wedding coordinator.
The couple's marriage license will be issued by the Bahamas, the Miami-based cruise operator said.
Additionally couples sailing on these three ships and others fleetwide can also choose from a handful of other wedding packages, including a "Symbolic" non-legal ceremony that's also performed by the ship captain, and legal "Harborside" or "Destination" weddings.
The harborside ceremony is performed onboard when the ship is docked at select ports. The destination ceremony is done on shore in select ports.
Rates for symbolic packages start at $1,799, while prices vary for the other two ceremonies are based on the port.

First to Fly – A Brief History of the Wright Brothers
Home > PJC Flights of Fancy Magazine > Lifestyles > Famous Flyers > First to Fly – A Brief History of the Wright Brothers
"I am convinced that human flight is possible and practical." Wilbur Wright c. 1899
December 17, 2005 marks the anniversary of the Wright brothers' historic first flight on the shores of the Atlantic in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. All over the country aviators are celebrating this historic event that changed what is now the largest enterprise in the world, the aerospace business.
Wilbur and Orville Wright were the first aviators to design and build an engine -powered flying aircraft that could be manned and controlled while in the air. The Wright brothers discovered three aircraft controls that would allow the pilot to navigate an airplane making it possible to fly. Their aircraft had the ability to roll the wings from right to left, to pitch the nose up or down, and to yaw the nose from side to side. The ingenious discovery of these three dimensions opened up a world of possibilities, not just to inventors and pilots, but also to the general public who would be soon able to view the earth from above.
Flyer 1 was their first aircraft, the one flown from Kitty Hawk to Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. And although the plane did achieve flight, it was found to be underpowered and difficult to control. Flyer 2 was invented a short time later but it too was difficult to control. Finally, in 1905, Flyer 3 was introduced. This plane had the ability to fly until the fuel ran out and land safely. This was considered the first practical airplane.
Today, this seemingly simple idea has swarmed into a billion dollar industry and a way of life for many. Airplanes have changed the world immensely. There are no barriers between humankind, no sea vast enough, no mountain high enough, for the best aircraft to overcome. Airplanes have affected lives, saving them and taking them. Aircraft are used for agriculture, fighting fires, saving lives, for transportation of people and goods, and as a simple leisure activity. It's amazing to think that it all began with two brothers and a seemingly magical idea. On December 17, 1903 history was made, the future made limitless, and we should remember this day in celebration of the anniversary of the first flight.

His congenial manner and teaching style is appealing to students, and is now being recognized nationally — the White House Office of Science and Technology and the National Science Foundation recently announced that Baird won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
As one of 140 teachers across the U.S. and its territories who were presented the award, and the only one from Vermont, Baird received $10,00 from the NSF, a presidential citation, and an invitation to the White House for an awards ceremony and opportunities for discussions with other educators about STEM education. Baird said he did not attend the ceremony in Washington, D.C. | {

King Edward III
King Edward III ruled England from 25th January 1327 to 21st June 1377. He remained King until his death. He was the son of the Edward II of England and Isabella of France. King Edward II was deposed as the King and the young prince was crowned at the age of fourteen. This medieval king belonged to the House of Plantagenet. At the age of seventeen he started his personal rule after overthrowing Mortimer, who at that time was the de facto ruler of England.
King Edward III Timeline
King Edward III was born on 13 November 1312 at Windsor Castle, Berkshire. He was the King of England from 25th January 1327 to 21st June 1377. His coronation took place on 1st February 1327. He married Philippa of Hainault on 24 January 1328. This medieval king started his personal rule in 1930. He declared himself as the rightful heir to the French throne in 1337. The Black Death struck England in 1348. Edward won the battle of Dupplin Moor against Scotland in 1332. In 1356, Edward's son the Black prince won the Battle of Poitiers against the French. Edward died on 21st June 1377.

What kind of Ruler was King Edward III?
King Edward III was a conventional ruler. He was very temperamental, but also showed great clemency on many occasions. One such example was Mortimer's grandson that was absolved and later played a very important role in the French wars. King Edward III's main interest was warfare and was one of the finest warriors in the English medieval history.
What was King Edward III Famous For?
King Edward III was famous for his successful military campaigns and for his interest in warfare. He restored the Royal authority and transformed the kingdom into one of the most fearsome powers in the Europe. This medieval king was also famous for his role in the evolution of the English parliament and the legislation that helped the English monarchy in the positive way, especially during the days of the Black Death.
King Edward III Legislation & The Black Death
The Black Death, bubonic plague pandemic, reached England in 1348 and killed almost one third, or according to other estimates about half of the population. The Black Death created a labour shortage and a rise in wages followed. The great landowners found it very difficult to cope with this shortage of manpower and a rise in wages. To address the situation, the King and the parliament introduced the required legislation. The Ordinance of Labourers was issued in 1349 that fixed the wages and enforced price controls. The Statute of Labourers was issued in 1351 to control the increase in wages and prohibited the movement of workers from their home areas.
Medieval King Edward III was also known as the Black Prince
King Edward III Parliament and taxation
During the rule of King Edward III, parliament was developed further. During this period, parliament gradually developed into a bicameral institution, composed of two houses, a House of Lords and a House of Commons. It was the House of Commons where the major changes took place. In order to finance warfare, King Edward taxed his subjects. There were two types of taxes, levy and customs. As the levy generated a considerable amount of money, hence it had to be approved by parliament, whereas the customs was an old and steady source of income. In 1353, King Edward III, introduced a new customs tax on wool through the Ordinance of the Staple.
King Edward III Chivalry and national identity
Unlike King Edward I and Edward II, King Edward III created a new peerage. He, in one day created six news Earls. For close relatives of King, Edward introduced a new title Duke and also introduced the upward ranks of the peerage. In 1348, he also introduced the Order of the Garter. He also contributed in strengthening the national identity by using the myth that French wanted to destroy the English language. English language experienced a strong revival during King Edward's rule as the Statue of Pleading was issued in 1362 that ensured the usage of English language in law courts. English was also used in parliament for the first time.

King Edward III Family & Children
King Edward married Philippa of Hainault on 24th January 1328. She was the daughter of the William I, Count of Hainaut and Joanna of Valois. King Edward had all the legitimate children by Philippa. They had seven sons and five daughters. King Edward III also had three illegitimate children. This medieval king was very devoted to his family and other family members, loved his wife a lot and always remained loyal to her.
King Edward III Character
King Edward III was temperamental and impulsive in nature, if we evaluate his character from his actions against the Stratford and ministers. But if we evaluate his character from the fact that he not only absolved Mortimer's grandson, but also let him play an important role in the French wars, we would come to the conclusion that he also showed a lot of clemency. His interest and religious views were very conventional in nature.

King Edward III Death
In 1376 issues regarding failures in military campaigns, associated cost involved and political dissatisfaction at home were discussed in parliament. The main aim was to have the taxation granted from the parliament, but the House of Commons decided to address the issues. The King's closest advisors were severely criticised and discharged from their positions. Alice Perrers, King Edward's III, was very active during his days of illness. She was also banished from the court. John of Gaunt had the virtual control of the government as both the King Edward III and the Black prince were seriously ill. Gaunt was forced to accept the demands of parliament as he couldn't handle the pressure. King Edward III couldn't do anything about it as his health was continuously falling and he finally died due to a stroke at Sheen on 21st of June. The medieval king was buried at the Westminster Abbey, London.
King Edward III Summary
It was King Edward III, who restored the Royal authority after the unimpressive rule of his father King Edward II. During his rule parliament evolved into a bicameral institute. He also united the people against the French and worked for the evolution of the English language.

Home ► International News ► Johnson lied about Putin missile 'threat' – Kremlin
The former British prime minister claimed the Russian president had made the comments in a telephone call last February
Allegations that Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened then-United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson with a missile strike are "a lie," Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Monday. Johnson's accusations have emerged in a new BBC documentary about the crisis in Ukraine.
Recalling a telephone call with Putin on February 2, 2022, just under three weeks before tensions over Ukraine escalated into full military action, Johnson claimed the Russian leader "threatened me at one point."
"He said, 'Boris, I don't want to hurt you but, with a missile, it would only take a minute' or something like that… jolly," the former PM told the British broadcaster.
"There were no missile threats," Peskov told reporters on Monday. "When he explained challenges to the security of the Russian Federation, President Putin remarked that if Ukraine joins NATO, the potential deployment of NATO or American missiles at our borders would mean that any missile could reach Moscow in mere minutes."

The Russian official wondered if Johnson had lied deliberately or "simply didn't understand what President Putin was talking about." If the latter is true, people should be concerned for Johnson, Peskov added.
Putin has publicly voiced Russian concerns over NATO infrastructure in Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe for decades. Russia began military operations against Ukraine after failing to get security guarantees from Washington, which would have rolled back the deployment of NATO assets in Eastern Europe and suspended its expansion in the region. The US dismissed Moscow's concerns and claimed that Ukraine was free to seek membership as a sovereign nation.

To the mom who doesn't fit in.
Raise your hand if you're the awkward mom. *slowly raises hand* I even raise my hand awkwardly. Ugh. I'm a super introvert. I'm awkward in social situations and I obnoxiously focus on my kids when I'm uncomfortable. I just gave away my secret, but I really do. I've tried, I mean really TRIED to make mom friends. I really have. But it never works out. Do I ask for her number? Maybe ask if she wants to hang out some time? It's like I'm dating all over again. Except joke's on me because I'm more awkward this time around. Life isn't fair. I'm in my mid -okay OKAY, late (whatever) 20s. Why am I more awkward now than when I was 17? Again, whatever.
Have you ever sent a potential mom friend a friend request on Facebook because you think you made a connection but then they never accept it so you're just left in "maybe she didn't really like me" limbo and lots of self-consciousness? It's the worst. And then you see the potential mom friend again and you're all awkward and sweaty because now you feel dumb. That's me. It's like sending the Do you like me? Check yes or no. notes in school all over again. It's so nerve wracking!
In todays day and age, us moms need a tribe. We need a likeminded group of women that love us well and encourage us when we need it. Want to know what's so awesome? They don't even have to live near you! One of my best friends lives in another state and I have a few super close friends whom I talk to daily that I met in a group of due date buddies with my oldest. And now some of them are my closest friends. It's like online dating but for moms! I never realized how similar finding friends is to dating but hey, the analogy works.
At the end of the day, you need to find love, support and encouragement somewhere. You need friends who check in on you and ask how your kids are doing. You need friends who will send you a meal when you're overwhelmed. You need a safe place to turn when your kids are driving you crazy and you just need to vent. No judgment. No surfacy (yes, I made that word up) conversation. Nothing other than love and encouragement. Find the other awkward mom. She's out there and she's waiting for you! Find the mom who's overly focusing on her kids to avoid small talk or awkward eye contact. Find the mom who has sent a few awkward friend requests herself. She needs you, and you definitely need her.
It's 7pm the Saturday before Easter Sunday. I realized I didn't get dresses for the girls for Easter. What kind of mom am I? Major mom fail. Ugh. I rifle through Audrey's closet and find a cute, fancy schmancy dress in the back that a friend gave us last summer. It's in her size. Score! I trot out to our back garage and dig through 70 billion totes to find Audrey's old spring clothes from a couple of years ago. I find her first Easter dress and it's 9 months. Score, again! Pretty Easter dresses – check. Now for the perfectly staged Easter picture. Not so check. Trying to get a sassy toddler and a 5 month old to both look at the camera and smile is near impossible. I couldn't even manage to get Little Miss Sassafras to look at the camera.
There's so much pressure on perfection. Living in the social media world that we do makes it difficult at times to not play the comparison game. How does she get her kids to always smile for pictures? How does she get the sunlight to perfectly shine on her children's faces? Why does her house always look perfect? How does she do it? Why is she so perfect? Here's her secret. She's not. Nobody is. It's so easy to make social media our highlight reel and let everyone believe we're perfect. But where's the fun in that? Life is messy, raw, real, chaotic and a little bit sticky. (Or maybe that's just my house – stinkin' toddlers.) Why make it seem perfect? Why allow someone else's highlight reel to put so much pressure on you? So what if you didn't buy your kids Easter outfits? So what if you don't realize until 7pm that your child only had goldfish for dinner – big, fat oops. So what if you forget about trick or treating and order their costume 2 days before? (Guilty – I also did that. Thank God for Amazon Prime.) So what if you forget about show and tell and your child takes the obvious last minute choice? So what if you shamelessly turn the TV on while tossing chicken nuggets in front of your child for the second night in a row?
None of it matters. None. Of. It. Matters. Period. I promise that all your child will remember is that momma tried. You tried. You did your best. At the end of the day your sweet baby still snuggles into momma because you are their safety net. Nothing bad can happen with momma around. You protect. You love. You provide. You cherish. And guess what? Despite the messes and the chaos and your crazy dry shampoo mom hair, your sweet angel looks at you and sees nothing less than pure, beautiful perfection.
Why self-care is so important.
Mom. Mommy. Mother. Momma. Madre. Mum. Mama. Mummy. So many titles for one extraordinary person.
Moms put everyone before themselves. There's a running joke lately that talks about how many times moms have to reheat their cup of coffee because they're too busy to drink it or they forget about it. I even saw something the other day where a mom said she just prefers it cold now – which for me, ironically, is now true.
It's currently 3:20pm and I'm sitting on the floor with my 5 month old next to me as I continually bounce her in the bouncer in hopes that she'll fall asleep for the first time today. She won't. But I'm trying anyways. I stop to type and she rings out again so I start bouncing again. The cycle continues. She's been fed, changed, I gave her gripe water and Tylenol for her mean old teeth, all that's left to do is sleep. But she won't. As I sit with my naked face because I didn't have time to put on makeup today and my "mom bun," I look down at my unshaven legs and my leftover pink nail polish from my last pedicure that was in October of last year. Wow. I try to think of the last time I had a hair cut or color as my grays are growing with a vengeance. I can't remember. I was pregnant at the time and my baby is now 5 months old. Yikes.
Self-care. It's a phrase we hear a lot but do we do it a lot? I sure don't. I tell my husband all the time I want to do this or that but I never get it done. I'm always so busy chasing my toddler or nursing the baby. I've "needed a hair cut" for the past few months. I even messaged a friend about getting in to get my hair done but I never followed through. Why do we always put ourselves last? As moms, we have to wear so many hats but sometimes I think we forget that we were a person before we were a mom. I was Alli long before I was Brandon's wife or Quinn and Audrey's mom. You may think this sounds selfish and that's the stigma I'm trying to break. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. You can't pour into others if your cup isn't full. I always think of the "you have to put your oxygen mask on before helping others if the plane is going down" analogy. Have you ever tried to pour water from an empty cup? It doesn't work very well.
Self-care doesn't have to be a 7 hour trip to the spa or a mani/pedi or anything fancy. It can be waking up 15 minutes before your kids and drinking your coffee hot and scrolling through Facebook or reading your Bible. It can be as simple as ordering your favorite takeout or running through and grabbing a coffee. It can be as simple as doing a movie day so you can relax with your sweet kiddos. Take a break. Take a shower. Take 15 minutes for yourself every day. You deserve it. You're worth it.
You pushed my buttons today.
Toddler moms. HOW DO YOU DO IT. Man, oh man. I'm the mom of a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old. Two kids, two and under. Whew. I end my days questioning everything. Did I handle that situation correctly? Did I love them enough? Did they get my best self or just my leftovers? Was I patient enough?
Why is being a mom so hard sometimes? Why do we question ourselves so much? My sweet and sassy toddler got in my face today, crinkled up her nose and said, "No momma!!!!" My emotions went from upset to angry to sad to dumbfounded. Oh, Audrey. You pushed my buttons today. I'm sitting, nursing Quinn and Audrey walks up to me. "Fruit snacks and water," she demands. So I ask, "Can mommy have a hug?" "FRUIT SNACKS AND WATER!" she yells then runs away. OKAY. You pushed my buttons today. We pull into the garage, I go around to the driver's side to get Audrey out. "DADDY GET ME!" Alrighty. You pushed my buttons today. "Audrey, I love you." "No say I yuv you!" Sigh. You pushed my buttons today. And it continues. And yet somehow, at the same time, she has the sweetest heart of any toddler I've ever met. Tonight, we sang our bedtime songs and we get ready to pray so we ask Audrey if she'd like to pray. "God, thank you for mommy and daddy. Thank you for Kinnie. Thank you for our food. Thank you for cheese." She peeks open one of her eyes, "What else?" she whispers. "And thank you for our blessings." I'm constantly in awe of her amazing heart.
I find myself frustrated on a daily basis simply because I'm a strong-willed momma raising a strong-willed toddler. But days like today when she snuggles into momma and falls asleep while I rock her, I realize I must be doing something right. Days like today when her sister is crying, and she lays down next to her and rubs her head and tells her everything will be okay, I realize that in the midst of the hard, daily battles she makes my life complete. She pushes my buttons daily but she's constantly pushing me to be better and she doesn't even know it. She's helped make me the person I am. Her sweet kindness and tender heart inspires me daily. She makes me a better person.
I think we go into parenthood thinking we do all the raising but in so many ways, we do a lot of the growing. I never thought I'd look at my 2.5 year old daughter and see the person I want to be. Someone who prays for others. Someone who thanks the Lord for cheese. Someone who consoles her sister instead of being jealous of the attention she requires. Someone who loves so incredibly well. I pray that she never loses that sweet and tender spirit. And I pray that she never stops teaching me how to love others and have that sweet child-like faith. I pray that she never stops pushing my buttons because I don't ever want her to lose her fire – even though that fire may leave me grumbling to myself most days. I pray that she turns this world upside down and continues to love unconditionally. I pray that someday she realizes that she can change the world. | {

A Whakapapa of Tradition: 100 Years of Ngati Porou Carving 1830-1930
Author(s): Ngarino Ellis
From the emergence of the chapel and the wharenui in the nineteenth century to the rejuvenation of carving by Apirana Ngata in the 1920s, Maori carving went through a rapid evolution from 1830 to 1930. Focusing on thirty meeting houses, Ngarino Ellis tells the story of Ngati Porou carving and a profound transformation in Maori art. Beginning around 1830, three previously dominant art traditions - waka taua (war canoes), pataka (decorated storehouses) and whare rangatira (chief's houses) - declined and were replaced by whare karakia (churches), whare whakairo (decorated meeting houses) and wharekai (dining halls). Ellis examines how and why that fundamental transformation took place by exploring the Iwir?kau School of carving, based in the Waiapu Valley on the East Coast of the North Island. A Whakapapa of Tradition tells us much about the art forms themselves but also analyses the environment that made carving and building possible: the patrons who were the enablers and transmitters of culture; the carvers who engaged with modern tools and ideas; and the communities as a whole who created the new forms of art and architecture. This book is both a major study of Ngati Porou carving and an attempt to make sense of Maori art history. What makes a tradition in Maori art? Ellis asks. How do traditions begin? Who decides this? Conversely, how and why do traditions cease? And what forces are at play which make some buildings acceptable and others not? Beautifully illustrated with new photography by Natalie Robertson, and drawing on the work of key scholars to make a new synthetic whole, this book will be a landmark volume in the history of writing about Maori art.

To help him organize and pare down, he turned to Claudia Smith, a professional organizer with Clear Your Clutter Consulting in Davis.
"Downsizing and letting go of stuff is good for everyone," said Smith, who said many of her clients are in their 40s to 60s. "I go into homes where the attic is crammed and every room is filled. The kids are completely overwhelmed."
Grace Bamlett, owner of Organized Outcomes in Orangevale, said parental possessions are "an emotional weight for baby boomers." She said 10 to 15 percent of her business is clients who are "either having to downsize for their parents or dealing with stuff left to them after their parents have died. It's a large group of people, and it's only growing larger."
As professional organizers, Bamlett and Smith encourage their clients to shed belongings but not the memories.
Bamlett is a proponent of "guilt-free" organizing. "If you're holding onto something because you feel you should, don't. Give it to a charity that speaks to your heart. Or find another relative, someone who's interested in family genealogy."
If parents are alive and willing, ask if they want help.
Start giving things away to family or friends: jewelry to a dear friend. A set of dishes to a daughter-in-law. "It's far better to give them to a loved one now," said Smith. "They can enjoy them and your kids don't get stuck with everything when you die."
Years before she died, Judy Hertel's mother sat down with her two daughters at the kitchen table, going through her heirloom and costume jewelry. At her mother's suggestion, Hertel and her sister made a list of the pieces they especially wanted to keep.
"She wasn't ready to give anything up yet but wanted to know what we wanted," said Hertel, mother of three kids in their teens and early 20s. "And she wanted to avoid any fights after she was gone," she laughed.
Savor memories
One way to eliminate the avalanche of stuff is by capturing a loved one's memory in smaller ways, such as a shadow box, which contains "the essence of the member in a physically small way," as Smith put it.
Sacramento attorney Don Fitzgerald, whose father was a school bus driver and avid outdoorsman in Siskiyou County, has several shadowboxes created by his sister after their father died about 11 years ago. Using pieces of their dad's favorite flannel shirts, his fishing lures and old family photographs, she gave one to each of the six grandchildren, including a photo of each child with "Papa."
"One glance at the shadowbox," said Fitzgerald, "and great memories come flooding back."
Smith, the professional organizer, did the same for her father.
"You don't need a room packed full of stuff to honor a memory," said the Davis resident. "You want to keep the history and memories alive, without the burden of a huge volume of physical stuff."
Sibling differences
It can be challenging when siblings come home to divvy up Mom and Dad's belongings. When Hertel's father died in January 2013, he left behind a lifetime of possessions in the family home outside Chicago. Everything was still in the house, from old family board games to Hertel's wedding dress. And then there was the basement. Her father, a General Motors machinist, had a basement workshop filled with tools, lathes, vises and thousands of pieces of leftover scrap metal. Cleaning all of it out to ready the house for sale fell to Hertel and her siblings.
"My brother just wanted it done. His attitude was: Go in, get it done and put the house on the market." Her sister, by contrast, needed to touch every piece of paper, which greatly slowed the process. "It created a lot of tension," recalled Hertel.
Ultimately, they donated clothing, linens and kitchenware to a local church charity. They recycled 150 pounds of metal, including boxes of bolts, screws and nails. And they filled two waist-high dumpsters with discards.
The task was further complicated because Hertel was in California and not able to be as hands-on as she would have liked. In retrospect, she wishes they'd done far more of the sorting while her parents were still alive.
Sandy Edwards, a retired teacher in Carmichael, vividly remembers how she and her siblings divvied up the contents of their parents' sprawling, four-story Victorian mansion in Merchantville, N.J., which had been in the family since 1900. It took two years and innumerable trips back East. Essentially, "we linked arms and walked room by room. We didn't assign values to anything but used three colors of Post-it notes" to mark the things each wanted to keep, including items for grandchildren. "The emotional part was extremely hard to do," Edwards said, but dividing things up was comparatively easy among her siblings.
Don't wait till too late
Four or five years before her mother died at age 97, Marty West, a retired UC Davis law professor, helped her go through closets, drawers and paper files. It was a process her mother welcomed, she said.
For her mother's 90th birthday, West took home boxes of loose family photographs and assembled a four-volume scrapbook of her mother's life, starting with baby pictures in 1915. It was a way to preserve the best of all the random photos that pile up in drawers and closets.
It wasn't until after her mother died that West discovered – stashed in her mother's garage – a treasure trove of old family correspondence, some dating back to the 1800s. The letters, in shoeboxes and cardboard containers, had been stored unopened for years. Some were from her Kansas grandmother written to her grandfather while they were courting in 1896. Some were from her parents, who were social and religious activists in the 1940s, working as high school teachers in the Japanese internment camp in Manzanar and later in a church-sponsored relocation hospital in Chicago.
"It was sad when I discovered all this correspondence because I could no longer ask her about it," said West.
For the last several years, West has been methodically going through hundreds of letters. She's tossing out "anything I'd never want to read again," but keeping correspondence that has personal, historical or emotional significance. Old letters from aunts, uncles and cousins have been sent to surviving relatives. The ones she is keeping are filed chronologically in airtight plastic containers, rather than cardboard boxes that could be susceptible to insects.
With her own professional papers, chronicling her work on UC Davis faculty women's issues, West has already donated many to the UC Davis archives.
Tackling those kinds of chores now can save everyone tedium and some heartache in the long run.
Miller, having closed up his parents' Palo Alto home and settled most of their legal affairs, is now committed to paring down the physical pieces of their lives that he's accumulated in Davis. "The nature of the job is emotionally wrenching, but most of it is so tedious just because of the sheer quantity," said Miller.
For him, it couldn't be done without a professional at his side.
"We baby boomers want someone to give us permission to let go," said Smith, the professional organizer. "We feel a huge responsibility to honor the past. But there's the financial, emotional and sheer exhaustion of the time and energy in dealing with it."
That's why she advocates a simple rule of thumb: "We spend our first 40 years in life collecting things. And we should spend our second 40 years getting rid of things."

An important part of the electrical safety program is to buy certification. Although an experienced technician is totally qualified with the knowledge and experience to do everything right, he is not qualified within the eyes of OSHA without proof of formal training and certifications. That is why it is important for employers to get coursework and certification exams to convince OSHA the employees are allowed to focus on the gear.
This is why it is important to ask a training provider if there are choices for getting testing and certification soon after a training course continues to be completed. In the most ideal circumstances, the testing will take place at the conclusion of one week of training classes. By doing this, the company can help to save cash on not having to pay for a second set of airline flights and other associated travel expenses.
When it comes to deciding who'll attend an electrical safety program, it is important to look beyond just the electricians. Many others should try to learn about electrical safety. Anybody who is working in exactly the same room as electrical equipment could be well advised to take a training course or two on electrical safety, even if she or he does not work on that equipment. Get HVAC certification today!
Simultaneously, it is important for experienced electricians to consider these courses also for 2 reasons. To begin with, this gives a great review and refresher for those who haven't seen the safety material in a while. This will help the electrician remember. Another factor to consider is to prove to OSHA that the electrician is qualified to do the job by keeping up-to-date with training. Having paperwork that shows completion of courses and certifications is essential when dealing with OSHA.
Generally, the public courses are offered from coast to coast to ensure that companies may not have to invest cash on travel and lodging, specifically for those in major metropolitan areas. It might be possible to get the training done in the employer's own offices as well with private training sessions.
The format for that ideal electrical safety program will include both a lecture along with a practical portion. The lecture portion is essential to make certain all the knowledge and skills are conveyed to the students. In almost all cases, there will be a handbook or course reader that each single student gets that it is super easy to follow along and to review later.
The practical (or lab) portion is very important to help retain and practice the knowledge and skills learned in the lecture portion of the class. A lecture only course will give you less benefits. Another type of practical that may be added upon completing the coursework is the certification exam. This is another way to help students learn and to get the certification they need to keep OSHA and their employers happy.

If you talk about beer in Belgium, it is more than a frothy beverage. In Belgium, beer is a culture. With over 700 different varieties, beer in Belgium often has customized glasses in which only that particular beer should be served. They believe that the shape of each glass enhances the natural flavor of beer. This tradition may find similarity to the likes of wine snobbery, but Belgians take their tradition seriously – and all these for a good reason. Since the Middle Ages, the country has experienced an unparalleled reputation for specialty beers. The flavors and colors of Beers are markedly different from their contemporaries available in different parts of the world. Connoisseurs mostly favor Belgian beers because of their wide variety, real flavor and distinct character.
Belgium has almost as many breweries as there are beer styles. If you ever take a trip to Belgium you will be treated with a wide variety of beers like geuze, brown, lambic, white, chocolate or cheery. One can't go wrong with such mélange of choice when it comes to beer in Belgium.
The beer making history in Belgium traces back to few centuries. If we go by the estimates there are no less than 700 different types of beer found in the country with few rare and the most special ones that exude the reverence of a fine wine. Among all other flavors and varieties of beer found in this country, Lambic beer is the most celebrated one. It is made with an ancient style of brewing and it relies on spontaneous fermentation that produces a bone-dry and intensely tart effervescent drink that grows in flavor with passing years.
For those who enjoy beer but with a lighter taste, Blanche or White Beer is the flavor best suited. It has a light taste that comes with a hint of citrus and is yet another popular beer flavor found in Belgium. Apart of these you may also like to try out the non malted flavor of Gueuze which is a blend of two or more Lambic beers; Faro is a sweetened variety of Lambic beer while Kriek is extracted with the addition of cherries and raspberries in Lambic Beer.
Therefore, Belgium holidays can be more enjoyable for those who love to indulge in the enticing flavor of beers.
