Bey's newest undertaking had been teased for weeks and at last came to fruition within the type of an HBO concept video (The file grew to become accessible in album format on Tidal). The Judgment will even set forth what the kid custody and visitation shall be, what spousal help shall be paid, and what the distribution of group property and liabilities can be. While some points might be modified post-judgment like youngster support and youngster custody, the Judgment issued by the Court tends to be the final word on most issues.
Those of us who have been via divorce know the way critical help in such instances will be. As I even have said before, the scriptures themselves in each the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament make clear provision for the potential of divorce, although they also categorical sorrow over the conditions that lead to divorce and its devastating aftermath.
So, in case you are requesting upkeep and your Statement of Income and Expense reveals you possibly can easily pay your entire month-to-month bills with the revenue you at present have coming in, your spouse's lawyer may be able to argue that you don't want maintenance as you'll be able to cowl your cheap bills with out financial help from your quickly-to-be-ex partner.
The creator notes that it has been reported by adult children of divorce that they felt the techniques of alienation are on the same level as excessive psychological maltreatment of kids (similar to: terrorizing, isolating, exploiting, and denying emotional responsiveness), and the consequences of parental alienation on kids have been documented: self worth points, depression, substance abuse, and many others.
Moreover, if baseless accusations are supported by authorities bureaucrats on account of sloppy work and/or erring on the aspect of caution, the waste turns into exponentially more important: state motion is brought (either in prison or juvenile courtroom), public attorneys are appointed to symbolize the accused, and Guardian Ad Litems are appointed to symbolize the children.

"A battle to repeal an obscure New York law protecting construction workers appears to be gaining momentum, with backers saying the 19th-century measure is typical of the reasons it's so difficult and costly to rebuild the nation's infrastructure.
But a legal institute at New York Law School says that's bunk.
Earlier this month, the nonprofit Common Good, a New York-based organization that has pushed to build a major new tunnel under the Hudson River, issued a report calling for repeal of New York's "Scaffold Law." The law — which was enacted in 1885 to protect workers building New York City's skyscrapers — imposes strict liability on builders to ensure the safety of workers, including undocumented immigrants, who are at risk of falling from buildings, bridges and other tall structures under construction."

Aston Villa will look to sign Gary Cahill on a free transfer from Chelsea at the end of the season, according to reports.
Villa were linked with Cahill this summer when it was claimed that Steve Bruce was ambitiously trying to bring the centre-half back to Villa Park on loan.
Cahill made 31 appearances for Villa between 2004 and 2008 and his goal in the 5-1 thumping of Birmingham City in 2006 is still fondly remembered by supporters.
Any potential move always looked like it belonged in the 'unlikely' pile - with Cahill, Chelsea's club captain, determined to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge under Maurizio Sarri.
But Cahill is yet to feature for Sarri's side this season and is expected to leave the club at the end of the season once his contract runs out.
And according to La Gazette des Transferts in France, Villa could be at the front of the queue for the 32-year-old in nine months' time.
It is said that Premier League side Watford and French Ligue 1 clubs Marseille and Bordeaux are also interested.
Should Aston Villa try to sign Gary Cahill this summer?
Villa boss Bruce has also been linked with a swoop to bring Cahill's former Chelsea teammate John Terry back to Villa, just months after his departure.
Here we reflect on Cahill's time in the West Midlands - and re-ask the question, a decade on, why did then Villa boss Martin O'Neill let him go?
The early days
Cahill came through the youth set-up at his local club AFC Dronfield in Derbyshire.
He was scouted by several clubs but it was Villa who snapped him up and recruited him to the Bodymoor Heath academy at the age of 15.
In 2004-05, to aid his development he had a season-long loan at Burnley in the Championship. It worked - he made 32 appearances and cleaned up at the end of season awards, winning the player of the season and young player gongs. He was only 18.
Claret and blue breakthrough
Cahill's claret and blue debut was certainly memorable. It came with a start in the League Cup in September 2005 - and Villa were 3-1 down at Wycombe Wanderers by half time.
But David O'Leary's team recovered to win 8-3 at Adams Park.
He had to wait until the following year - April Fool's Day 2006 - for his Premier League debut. Villa lost 5-0 at Highbury. It was 3-0 when Cahill came on as a 52nd minute replacement for Ulises de la Cruz.
Cahill kept a clean sheet on his first top flight start the following weekend in a 0-0 draw with West Bromwich Albion - but it was another Villa Park derby the week after that which provided his best claret and blue memory.
Yes, you've guessed it, that was when he scored that stunning overhead kick in front of the Holte End in a 3-1 win over Bruce's Blues.
He kept his place in O'Leary's team for the run-in with six consecutive starts.
Cometh the MON
O'Leary went, O'Neill arrived and it was November 2006 before Cahill was back in the team.
He actually made 21 appearances league and cup in O'Neill's first season at Villa, 20 of them starts. Cahill was used at centre-back, mainly alongside either Liam Ridgewell or Olof Mellberg.
However, there was a strong hint the writing was on the wall for Cahill at Villa when O'Neill signed two centre halves towards the end of the summer 2007 transfer window.
Zat Knight's arrival from Fulham is generally regarded as the transfer that would eventually pave the way for Cahill's departure five months later, but Villa also signed Curtis Davies from Albion on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Villa signed Carlos Cuellar the following summer and James Collins and Richard Dunne a year later.
After a substitute appearance in the opening day Premier League defeat at home to Liverpool and a start in the 5-0 League Cup win at Wrexham, Cahill was ushered out on loan to Sheffield United for three months.
He returned to Villa in mid-December 2007 but didn't play for the club again.
January scramble
By the start of 2008 it was clear O'Neill viewed Cahill as being surplus to requirements. He tended to favour a central defensive partnership of Knight and Martin Laursen.
Sheffield United, Besiktas and Birmingham City were among the clubs keen on signing him and Blues boss Alex McLeish admitted his interest.
"Gary Cahill is a player we admire and would like to take him here as well," said McLeish.
"We will just have to wait and see what happens over the next 48 hours. I don't know how far down the line the Bolton thing is. But we have ruled ourselves in on anything that is happening."
But while Blues wanted him on loan, Villa preferred a permanent transfer and he was sold to Bolton for a reported £5 million fee.
Many unhappy returns
On his first two returns to Villa Park in April 2008 and December 2008 and November 2009 Villa but a total of 13 goals past Cahill's Trotters with 4-0 , 4-2 and 5-1 wins.
By the last of those teams, with more than a hint of irony, Knight, the player who forced him out of Villa, was his Bolton defensive partner.
He has made up for it since, first game against Villa for Chelsea came on as a half time sub in a 4-2 win at Villa Park in March 2012. Then he helped keep a clean sheet as Chelsea hammered Paul Lambert's team 8-0 at Stamford Bridge in December 2012
England recognition
Despite those setbacks for Cahill he impressed enough with the Lancashire club to win his first England cap.
Having represented the Three Lions at under-21 level during his time at Villa, he was selected for the senior squad for the first time in June 2009 but had to wait until September 2010 for his debut when he came on as a substitute for Michael Dawson in a 4-0 victory over Bulgaria at Wembley.
He has since gone on to win more than 50 caps for his country and captained them for the first time in the October 2015 Euro 2016 qualifying win over Estonia.
He has served as vice captain to Wayne Rooney for a few years and wore the armband himself. He was selected for the World Cup in Russia 2018, but was restricted to a bit part role for Gareth Southgate's semi-finalists.
London calling
His progress at Bolton and with England saw him coveted by the Premier League's big boys and he joined Chelsea for a reported £7 million fee in January 2012.
The rest, as they say, is history.
It's easiest to just list his honours with the Stamford Bridge club. Premier League 2014–15, 2016-17, FA Cup 2011–12, 2017-18, League Cup 2014–15, UEFA Champions League 2011–12, UEFA Europa League 2012–13.
He replaced John Terry as Chelsea captain.
What O'Neill said
"Have I any regrets that Cahill left? No.
"He wasn't exactly kicked out of the door, but Gary got to the stage where he wanted to play first-team football.
"He felt he wasn't going to get that in the coming weeks or months on a regular basis at Villa and, if we couldn't keep him, then we don't really want to stop people from making progress.
"Bolton, Birmingham and Sheffield United were interested.
"Bolton paid us £5million for the lad plus the sell-on fee and we were happy to do it.
"He was happy to go, we are happy and we still remain happy with the situation.
"Gary wanted to play regularly somewhere and Bolton gave him that chance."
What Cahill said
"Martin O'Neill is a great manager. Everybody makes mistakes sometimes and he's moved on. They've brought in some good centre-backs now, they're doing well.
"When I was there the fans were great and when I left there was no ill-feeling towards the fans. They were great to me.
"It wasn't the fans who chose to get rid of me.
"When you get a little knock back in your career, it gives you something to strive for.
"In the back of your mind you're always thinking 'I'll show you'.
"I know now that me leaving was the best thing. Martin O'Neill let me go and he obviously felt that was the right thing at the time.
"But you go on and want to prove people wrong. That's what keeps you going."
Here and now
It has emerged this week that Cahill could be allowed to leave.
He initially fell out of favour under Antonio Conte and new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has favoured David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger as his centre-halves so far this season, with Cahill not even on the bench.
Andreas Christensen and youngster Ethan Ampadu also seem to be ahead of him in the defensive pecking order.
Galatasaray are said to be interested in signing Cahill ahead of the European transfer window closing on Friday.
Along with Chelsea's other Wolrd Cup players Cahill was permitted a late return to training after Russia 2018.
Sarri has recently put Cahill's absence from matchday duty down to this - and has told the Chelsea club captain to remain patient.
"It's easier for an offensive player, but for a defender it's more difficult so at this moment he needs to have much more training with us.
"I told him that he needs to be patient now but that he is very important for us."

Safety Meets Strength
NINE-AND-THREE-QUARTER years old. If the bull market were a child, it would be in the fourth grade, learning the state capitals and perhaps long division. But as stock runs go, this one's a centenarian. It's the longest bull market on record, if not quite the best—the S&P 500's 333% rise from 2009 to its most recent peak in September is still shy of the dotcom boom's 417% gain. But now more than ever, as they tick off the days toward this bull's 10th birthday in March, investors seem anxious about that longevity. That's the concern that Andrew Slimmon, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, hears most often from clients: "It's been nine years. We've gotta be nearing the end of this thing."
That feeling has become more acute throughout 2018, in which there have been not one but two 10% stock market corrections. Contrast that with the beginning of the year, when "you had this sugar high" from tax reform and a government spending spree, as Saira Malik, head of global equities at Nuveen, puts it. It's safe to say that high has worn off. U.S.-imposed tariffs have counteracted some of those corporate tax savings. The Federal Reserve has consistently marched interest rates higher, because that sugar high has accelerated economic growth and revived long-dormant inflation. Big tech—the so-called FAANG stocks that have been the engine driving much of the market's rise the last few years—have signaled that they might not be able to grow as fast anymore. If you'd been missing your old friend volatility, just count the number of days this year when the stocks of S&P 500 heavy-weights Amazon and Netflix closed either up or down at least 5% from where they opened. (There were a mind-boggling 25 collectively.)
It remains an open question whether the bull market will make it to middle school age. (A bull market doesn't officially end until there's a bear market—a drop of 20% from the peak.) But regardless of the overall direction, investors need to equip themselves appropriately for a new stage of this economic cycle. And the good news is that the global economy still shows strong signs of health. "At the end of the day, I don't see enough indicators that the economy is entering a recession next year," Slimmon says. "It leads me to believe that this is more of a pause within a bull market."
On the plus side, recent selloffs have left many blue-chip stocks looking cheaper than they have in years. GDP growth topped 4% in the second quarter, the fastest expansion since 2014, and unemployment, at 3.7%, is at a 49-year low. It's possible, says Melda Mergen, deputy global head of equities for Columbia Threadneedle Investments, that this bull

ROCHESTER — Police say they have identified the second suspect in the robbery at a Residence Inn, where Tasha Loaiza allegedly stole heroin out of the victim's bra.
The second suspect, a man who reportedly put a knife to the victim's throat, during the June 15 robbery, remains at large.
An arrest warrant has been drafted for Okiemute Leo Omatie, 19, whose last known address is at 28 Fifth Street, Dover. His whereabouts is unknown at this time.
Tasha Loaiza, 21, of Rochester, was arrested on a felony robbery charge shortly after the incident. The case against her was recently bound over to Strafford County Superior Court after she waived her probable cause hearing at the district court Wednesday.
Police Capt. Paul Toussaint said police are still investigating whether a third suspect is involved in the case. During Loaiza's arraignment this month, Assistant County Attorney Dorothy Welch said there may be a third male suspect who stayed in a vehicle, during the robbery.
According to a police affidavit, the incident occurred when the victim woke up to a knock at the door. The victim opened the door to Loaiza, whom she knew. As Loaiza entered the room, a man unknown to the victim entered behind her and demanded all the victim's money.
The male suspect reportedly searched through the victim's drawers, threatening her multiple times by pushing a straight-edge knife to her throat. During the robbery, the male suspect took about $500 from the victim's wallet.
Loaiza then allegedly pulled down the victim's bra and stole about three grams of heroin. She also allegedly stole a computer tablet and money.
Omatie, who was identified as the male suspect, is described as being black, about 6-feet-2 inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds. He has brown eyes and black hair.
According to police, Omatie has ties to the Rochester and Somersworth areas.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call police at 330-7128. Those with information may also give anonymous tips by calling the Rochester Crimeline at 335-6500, or text to CRIMES (274637) and in the body of the message type: Text4Cash followed by the tip. Cash rewards may be given for tips through Crimeline that lead to an arrest.

Unfortunately, implantologists from all over the world are currently dealing with the dark side of the boom that dental industry suffered in the beginning of the last decade, when dental implant treatment became more popular then ever in the UK and all over the world.
At that time, not so strict regulations and protocols were in place; the research was less extensive then nowadays and in some situations dentists without the required credentials were placing dental implants on a regular base.
As a result, a significant amount of patients are currently attending our dental implant treatment consultation not because they have missing or failing teeth, but because they have failing implants placed elsewhere.
There are several reasons why an implant could be failing, but frequently most of the failing implants suffer from Peri-implantites. This is similar to gum disease but instead of happening around natural teeth it happens around dental implants.
The treatment of failing implants is often delicate and challenging, as most of the times associated with the implant failure we have a great amount of bone loss. In some occasions the failing implants can be saved, by means of a strict hygiene program or some sort of surgical procedure in order to decontaminate the surface of the Implant Treatment. Sometimes it is also possible to regenerate the missing bone around the failing implants by means of a bone graft. But in some situations the failing implants are hopeless and need to be removed – and if the patient wishes, can be replaced by new dental Implant Treatment.
The evaluation of each case must be done very carefully, trying to understand the extension of the damage and what has created it.
At the Marylebone Implant Centre we frequently see patients with failing implants placed elsewhere, and always approach each case very carefully trying to be as conservative as possible.
If you have failing implants and would like to come for a consultation, please contact our management team in order to book an appointment.

Last weekend Taylor and I took in a preview of the new show, Paramour by Cirque du Soleil. This was my eighth Cirque show. I usually attend one of their touring performances each year when it comes to NYC. I find the acrobatics so beautiful and I am astounded by the graceful way the performers move. Sometimes, during the most difficult part of the show (when the actor is twisted up like a pretzel or balancing twenty feet up in the air on their tiptoes) I whisper to Taylor, "I could do that." Sweet thing that she is, she usually nods and agrees out of pity because I am an uncoordinated mess.
Paramour is a bit different than the usual Cirque du Soleil productions. This one incorporates musical theater, actors and a storyline. It is in previews until May 25th at the Lyric Theater on Broadway and this is their first attempt at this sort of show. The theater is the perfect setting for Paramour as the plot takes place in the golden era of the 1930's and the Lyric has a very art deco feel to it.
The story revolves around a famous film-maker that discovers a beautiful, young girl singing in a bar and makes her a star. He and the movie's composer both fall in love with her and a love triangle forms. Chaos ensues.
All in all it was a very easy plot to follow. The sets were beautiful, the dances were energetic and the acrobatics were a nice compliment to an already fun show. I thought that it was a great marriage of Broadway and Cirque du Soleil.
Taylor and I sat in the front row of the mezzanine and we had a fabulous view. We've seen quite a few Broadway shows together and know from experience that sometimes sitting the orchestra can make it difficult for children to get a good view of the stage (especially if there is an adult seated in front of them).
My absolute favorite number of the entire show was called, "Love Triangle". The song was fantastic and the acrobats kept me on the edge of my seat.
We had a fabulous time. I enjoyed the show so much that I would see it again. I think it will do quite well on Broadway. It had a great mass appeal.

Search engine giant Google wants to make Android the standard for wearables, as it recently released a software development kit that would allow developers to create wearable devices.
Focus on wearables
Google is focusing on wearables at a platform level, which means the company's goal is to make its technology accessible to a wide variety of devices.
The software development kit would allow developers to create smartwatches and fitness trackers using the Android operating system.
According to Google's senior vice-president of Android, Chrome and apps: "We want to develop a set of common protocols by which they can work together."
'The next big thing'
"Google is taking wearables seriously and it wants everyone else to," said IDC analyst John Delaney in a statement.
"The industry thinks wearables is the next big thing as sales of smartphones start to plateau in developed markets and this is the latest attempt to build momentum behind it," he explained.

I got the chance to try out one of the tops for a few days and am officially hooked on the brand. I wore it in the midst of one of the coldest days and it definitely kept me warm. It was also so comfortable and such a versatile piece to style.
I also managed to check out a few more from Illustrated People at their PR offices, and loved what I saw. They had some cool slogans on them and each looked as comfortable and cool as the last.
You can also buy Illustrated People at the Topshop on Oxford Circus. I definitely recommend at least checking the brand out. It's great!
Also a MASSIVE thanks to Daniela for taking these pictures.

Long Run on course for King George bid
A question mark still hangs over the participation of Grands Crus in the King George VI Chase at Kempton, but connections of Long Run are intent on regaining the coveted crown.
Long Run's King George and Gold Cup wins in 2010-11 had appeared to seal a succession, but Kauto Star avenged himself with a record fifth success at Kempton last year.
Now that Paul Nicholls' charge has been pensioned off, something of his vintage quality will attach to Long Run himself. If it seems premature to identify a horse not yet eight years old as some bastion of the old guard, the fact remains that Nicky Henderson's charge was a very early starter.
But it is precisely because Long Run has already achieved so much that his owner can perceive a somewhat cyclical quality in his profile.
"It's possible the Gold Cup he won as a six-year-old might have taken a hell of a lot out of him," owner Robert Waley-Cohen said. "Of course, it's also possible Kauto Star was just a very good horse when we ran against him last year.
"But I just suspect that those races came home to roost in the Gold Cup, when he definitely wasn't himself."
The jury remains out on Long Run's restoration following last month's defeat by Silviniaco Conti at Haydock, but he has a habit of needing his comeback and saw things out well after proving too fresh in the early stages.
"I thought he ran much better this time," Waley-Cohen said. "The race was not run to suit and he would have found that ground a bit tricky as well.
"We were always worried there wouldn't be enough pace, and that's exactly what happened – but we didn't want to leave the rest of his season behind in a terrific battle there."
Grands Crus has also been an early starter, but since running out an impressive winner of the Feltham Novices' Chase over course and distance 12 months ago, the seven-year-old has only appeared twice since – disappointing on both occasions at Cheltenham.
Trainer David Pipe sought the advice of vet Geoff Lane, who suggested a procedure to cauterise his palate to improve breathing. "I don't think he's in full swing yet, but he's very well and I think David's very happy with him," said part-owner Roger Stanley. "We want to see the real Grands Crus come back."
Champion trainer Nicholls is still getting used to life after Kauto Star.
Now the great champion has been retired, the two representatives from Ditcheat will be Paddy Power winner Al Ferof and Kauto Star's half-brother Kauto Stone, which impressed on his comeback at Down Royal.
Nicholls does have a headache as his second jockey Daryl Jacob is contesting a suspension which would rule him out. "Ruby Walsh has ridden Al Ferof through his career and Daryl won on Kauto Stone at Down Royal," he said. "Daryl will ride if he can get off the suspension, but if he can't, then we'll find the best available."
Meanwhile, Henderson's assistant has warned defending champion Binocular is not a certain starter in the Christmas Hurdle. JP McManus' gelding has won the Grade One twice before, beating Rock On Ruby last season before finishing fourth to the same rival in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.
Charlie Morlock said: "He came back into training a little later and might not get to Kempton." (© Independent News Service)

Urbano Lazzaro, a resistance fighter credited with arresting fascist leader Benito Mussolini at the end of World War II, has died at age 81, officials said Wednesday.
Lazzaro died Tuesday after being hospitalized in Vercelli, a town between Milan and Turin, officials at St. Andrea hospital said, refusing to be identified further because they were not authorized to give the information.
Lazzaro, known to his comrades as "Partisan Bill," fought with a resistance group in northern Italy and is known as the man who captured Mussolini in the dying days of the war, Italy's National Partisan Association said.
In April 1945, with Nazi forces in full retreat and Italians rising up against the fascist puppet state of Salo, Mussolini fled north in a German convoy.
Lazzaro was among a group of resistance fighters who stopped the retreating convoy near Dongo, on the shores of Lake Como. On the lookout for fleeing fascists, the partisans searched the trucks and Lazzaro recognized "Il Duce" disguised as a German soldier.
Mussolini and his mistress, Claretta Petacci, were executed after a summary trial, although the details of the ruler's demise are often a matter of debate in Italy.
Lazzaro eventually wrote books on those final hours, challenging the official story by claiming that Mussolini was killed by mistake during an escape attempt, news reports have said.
After the war, Lazzaro married and had three daughters who survive him, the ANSA news agency said. He divided his time between San Germano, near Vercelli, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A funeral will be held Thursday in San Germano, ANSA said.

Celebrity Bump Alert!
Actors Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are pregnant with their first child together!
As first reported by PEOPLE Magazine, reps for the couple have confirmed Wilde's pregnancy. "They are incredibly happy," a source close to both says. "They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family."
Wilde and Sudeikis first met in 2011 on the set of Saturday Night Live and started dating several months later. They became engaged in January 2013.
A date for their wedding has not yet been announced and we're wondering if they plan to get hitch before baby arrives or if they'll wait until after the birth.
In an April 2013 interview with Marie Claire Magazine, Wilde revealed that she was excited to start a family with Sudeikis, saying:
I can't wait for children. I'm open-minded about how many, but three, which I love, is like a little party. I am not trying to have kids now — there's no strict plan for anything in my life. What happens, happens. He's so good with kids. [...] I've never before experienced looking at someone and thinking, 'That's who I want to raise a child with.'
Congrats to Olivia and Jason!

Get ready for the leftist assault on the National Rifle Association.
Today, the Media Matters blog has decided to take on the National Rifle Association. A post by Alexander Zaitchik recounts his experiences on a bus on the way to the NRA's annual convention in St. Louis. "The hotel minibus had barely left the airport when the guy to my left dropped the Obama assassination joke," Zaitchik writes. "Parents who want to shield their children from presidential assassination jokes should consider vacation destinations other than NRA conventions."
Zaitchik rips the NRA's new slogan – "All In," stating that it is "absurd" to think that gun rights are under assault since "Recent years have seen record profits for the gun and ammo industries." In fact, says Zaitchik, the NRA is "extreme … possibly insane." And, of course, Zaitchik cited the presence of "swing-voter-kryptonite clowns like Glenn Beck, (Ret.) Gen. Jerry Boykin, and Ted Nugent" as evidence to that effect. Zaitchik even asks whether the "NRA and its industry allies really want to defeat Obama," since they need a "manufactured panic" to sell their product.
What's so important about this massive 3,500 word piece? It sets the agenda for the media left.
We know that the Obama administration holds regular meetings with Media Matters to coordinate strategy. And we know that Media Matters acts as a go-between for the mainstream media. We also know that Media Matters leads astroturfed secondary boycotts of advertisers and businesses who spend money with conservative causes.
So watch as Media Matters seizes on Ted Nugent and Trayvon Martin to call for boycotts of NRA donors, suggests that any advertisers who spend money on the same outlets as the NRA should be smacked around, and works with the Obama administration to push gun control. This is the pattern.

Oprah said the J-word
Today's Oprah Winfrey Show (Dec. 9) provided an interesting example of having your Christmas and celebrating it too while doing so inclusively. While some people are afraid the season of good will has been hijacked by the politically correct, Oprah and her mentor Maya Angelou found a way to acknowledge Christmas and share the holiday with all of Oprah's viewers worldwide. Their emphasis on the spirit of joy and peace of Christmas is quite a traditional emphasis. It also speaks across cultures. The discontent say that the "spirit of Christmas" has been lost in the hustle of buying and the wrapping paper of commercialism. Christmas has always been about gifts. For Christians, the birth of Jesus is a gift. And so Oprah, who has done Christmas shows in the past, today presents a choir singing Joy to the World. Interestingly, earlier in the show, Faith Hill sang I Surrender All, and Oprah explained why this song was important to her. It allowed her tp give up her obsession about whether she'd be cast in The Color Purple. "I gave it up to Jesus," O said. The J-word: Jesus, joy.

Your shopping cart is empty!
A policy is typically described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. The term is not normally used to denote what is actually done, this is normally referred to as either procedure or protocol. Policies are generally adopted by the Board of or senior governance body within an organization whereas procedures or protocols would be developed and adopted by senior executive officers. Policies can assist in both subjective and objective decision making. Policies to assist in subjective decision making would usually assist senior management with decisions that must consider the relative merits of a number of factors before making decisions and as a result are often hard to objectively test e.g. work-life balance policy. In contrast policies to assist in objective decision making are usually operational in nature and can be objectively tested e.g. password policy.
A Policy can be considered as a "Statement of Intent" or a "Commitment". For that reason at least, the decision-makers can be held accountable for their "Policy".
In each organization, there are policies that should apply and follow. These policies could be different from one organization to another. When it comes to cloud computing, you should look into policies and ways to apply them in cloud. Some examples of policies are as follow:
Policies are everything that should follow in organization and could change and improve. Internal factors such as managements' decision and external factors such as countries' law are involved in policy. When you work in private cloud, you should also look into policies that you should apply and then look into solutions that could help you with these policies. Some of these policies could apply using one private cloud solution and product, while other required other products. For example, for PC and user management you could use System Center Configuration Manager and Windows Server to apply policy and for back up solution, you might need using Data Protection Manager. Important step is to discuss with managers, shareholders, employees, legal team and everyone who could affect policy in organization and come up with questions that they should answer such as:
You could come up with additional questions base on your requirements. When you ask these questions, you will come up with list of policies. Then the next step is to apply these policies in private cloud solution. In this case, you should check products that are capable of apply your policy and their cost. It could be cases which apply policy would cost a lot and you should consider that when you are doing policy planning for cloud.
Then apply does policies in organization using tools. One important thing is that if you have multiple branches in different countries, then it could be new policy that you should apply base on government's law. This is also important factor when you group PCs in different branches in Active Directory.
Majority of policies could apply using Group Policy in Windows Server and other System Center products. For account management and smartcard, if you have some customize or complicated policy, you could consider Forefront Identity Manager.
It is good idea to list down policies that are being apply and then policies that are require to apply and priority them and then use right product to apply them in your private cloud infrastructure.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's factory activity shrank again in February as output and new orders fell, a private survey found on Monday, reinforcing concerns of a slowdown in the world's second largest economy.
The final Markit/HSBC manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) fell to a seven-month low of 48.5 in February, the third straight monthly decline, from January's 49.5. The figure was in line with the 48.3 reported in the preliminary version of the PMI released on Feb 20.
A reading below 50 indicates a contraction, while one above 50 shows expansion.
"Signs are becoming clear the risks to GDP growth are tilting to the downside," said Hongbin Qu, chief economist for China at HSBC, in a statement accompanying the PMI results.
"This calls for policy fine-tuning measures to stabilize market expectations and steady the pace of growth in the coming quarters."
The PMI, which measures sentiment, found that new orders and output both contracted for the first time in seven months, while new export orders contracted less than in January.
Output was likely affected by manufacturers closing for China's biggest annual holiday, the Lunar New Year festival, which began on January 31 and covered early February, although the PMI results are seasonally adjusted.
The employment sub-index also fell for a fourth straight month to 47.2, its lowest point since March 2009.
That sub-index is one of the few indicators to measure the health of China's labor market, a priority area for Beijing, which wants to keep unemployment low in order to maintain social stability.
The official government PMI, released on Saturday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), showed that activity in China's factory sector slowed to an eight-month low in February.
The official survey is weighted more towards bigger and state-owned enterprises and tends to paint a rosier picture than the HSBC/Markit survey, which focuses more on smaller firms and those in the private sector.
China's economic indicators have been mixed of late. Weak investment and declining PMI readings have been countered by surprisingly buoyant exports and bank lending.
The government has been trying to reduce the economy's dependence on exports and enhance the role of domestic consumption, but it is unclear how much growth it might be willing to sacrifice to reach that goal.
Some analysts have said weak PMI numbers would encourage the government to loosen monetary policy in order to keep the economy growing at 7.5 percent, a level that government economists have said could again be the official target, as it was in 2013.
Last year China's economy grew 7.7 percent, steady from the previous year and fractionally above market expectations of 7.6 percent, which would have been the slowest since 1999.

Europe: Privatised services back in public hands
Guest post by Julio Godoy in Berlin
Cross-posted from IPS News
After the wave of de-privatisation of water services facilities that started across the world two years ago, municipalities in Europe are now buying back the electricity utilities they sold to private investors in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In Germany, numerous city and regional governments have already ended the privatisation of the electricity facilities, or are in negotiations with the private owners.
Around the Bavarian capital of Munich, some 500 km southeast of Berlin, "the local governments are now convinced that municipal utilities are public goods that belong to state hands," Christoph Goebel, mayor of Graefelfing town, told IPS.
In Ottobrunn, another town on the periphery of Munich, the local government has just grounded a city-owned electricity provider. It says "the selling of the municipal utilities to private companies, which only obey the shareowners' interest, has proven to be a mistake."
In the federal state of Bavaria alone, some 2,000 licences for municipal utilities given to private companies 20 years ago are due to end this year. Most cities are unwilling to extend these licences, according to mayors and law counsellors. Instead, city governments are planning to take back the management of electricity and water facilities.
Matthias Albrecht, a Munich-based lawyer specialising in lease of public utilities, told the local 'Sueddeutsche Zeitung' newspaper that "the buyout of grids and other electricity facilities is practically free of economic risks" for city and regional governments. "I have observed that city and regional governments are good managers."
In Berlin, the city government is seeking a change in the terms of concession on water facilities to French company Veolia. The contract with Veolia ends only in 2028, and the city government cannot adjust it at will, but it would like "to modify the distribution of profits," Ulrich Nussbaum, Berlin commissioner for finances, told IPS.
"There are several points in the concession that need to be modified urgently," Nussbaum added.
Michael Cunnac, head of the Berlin-branch of Veolia, agreed to negotiations. "The city government and us will discuss the contract in a constructive way," he said. But Cunnac made clear that Veolia is not willing to terminate the contract. "An end of the concession is out of question."
Similar trends in the re-municipalisation of public utilities privatised during the last 20 years are emerging in many cities all over Germany, and in other European countries.
The city governments are only belatedly following the advice of economists and local activists. In a study released in 2006, Heinz Josef Bontrup, professor of urban economy at the University of Gelsenkirchen, concluded that "the privatisation of municipal utilities is not beneficial, both in financial terms and in the quality of services to the people they provide."
In Paris, the municipal administration will this year regain control of all water services for the city, ending a private monopoly that has lasted more than 100 years.
When city mayor Bertrand Delanoë announced the end of the private monopoly of water services in June 2008, he promised "to offer a better service, at a better price. We also promise that prices would be stable."
Both considerations are now the basis for local governments' claims in support of re-municipalisation of public utilities, Olivier Hoedemann, member of the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO), told IPS.
CEO is a watchdog group monitoring large European private companies. It set up a Water Re-municipalisation Tracker in 2008 to document the decline of the privatisation of water facilities around the world.
"The privatisation of water facilities has proven all over the world to be a major mistake, both in terms of prices and of the quality of services provided to the citizens," Hoedemann said in an interview.
Hoedemann said that German re-municipalisation of public utilities is in line with a global trend. "Even the European Commission (EC), which for many years supported the privatisation of public goods in developing countries, has changed its position, and now supports the public management of municipal facilities."
He pointed to the new EC water facility, a European programme to support development of state-managed water utilities in the group of 78 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
The water facility, to be officially presented next month, will allocate 200 million euros (290 million dollars) up to 2013 for the development of the water sector in the ACP countries.
The EC water facility also focuses more on sustainable improvement in the capacity of local governments and local civil society organisations for better water services for the poorest, in cooperation with European partners.
"In this sense, the facility constitutes a real change compared to the first phase of the former EC water facility (2004 to present), where the emphasis was put on supporting public-private partnerships and grants for projects of large EU-based non-governmental organisations, both of which have yielded unsatisfactory results," Hoedemann told IPS.
Most remarkably, he said, the EC has for the first time allocated a separate budget of 40 million euros (56.2 million US dollars) to support cooperation between public water companies in Europe and the ACP countries.
"The Commission now seems to have realised that improving the existing public water supply in developing countries is the most effective way to promote access to clean water and that this can be done through not-for-profit cooperation with efficiently operating public drinking water companies, whether from Europe or from the ACP countries themselves," Hoedemann said.
Hoedemann said there is increasing interest in such public-public partnerships across the world as a result of the failure of water privatisation, and also as a solution to the water crisis in developing countries.
"When the Water Re-municipalisation Tracker counted earlier 2009, we found over 130 such partnerships, in over 70 countries," Hoedemann said. "Also, the United Nations has started supporting this approach, through the Global Water Operator Partnerships Alliance, hosted by U.N.-Habitat."

It's high time that water, gas, electricity, the railways and the airports were brought back into public ownership in Britain. Privatization has been a disaster for their customers and for their employees. Unfortunately Labour, like the Tories, seems bent on more privatizations and more PPF rip-offs.

The Tories and their asset stripping friends have been getting away with this rip off for far too long. Get OUR assets back without compensation. Thatcher should be taken to court for her treachery before it is too late.

Far from re-nationalising, we are now to suffer the humilitation of a back door privatisation of the NHS and the School's system!
It seems we are intent to follow the Americans in becoming ever more detached from the real world.

Bugging Out with Zak! Thanksgiving Point's Butterfly Biosphere insect web-series
2012 Dance your PhD submission
In 2012 I participated in the AAAS and Vimeo sponsored Dance your PhD contest. Here is my entry, along with some info about the video:
Springtime snowmelt has been happening earlier and earlier over the past few decades due to global climate change. Spring snowmelt initiates the flowering season for many plants, therefore, plants have been flowering earlier as a result of the early snowmelt. Part of my dissertation focuses on finding out what the consequences of early snowmelt (and thus early flowering) are for plant reproduction and interactions between plants and their pollinators. Early snowmelt increases risk of frost damage and drought, and could lead to mismatches in the timing of plant emergence and the emergence of their insect pollinators. What's more, conditions such as frost and drought can affect they way flowers look, changing their attractiveness to pollinators. I use shovels to simulate early snowmelt, then collect the fruits produced by several species of flowering plants to compare reproduction as the timing of snowmelt varies.
Research intro for IGERT
Here I describe my research. This video was made for the 'people' page on Dartmouth's IGERT page.
Very early sweat bees
In 2013 I performed an experiment where I altered flowering phenology by placing plants in a greenhouse and then moving them into the field at varying times. When I placed my plants into the field, small sweat bees were there and ready to go, despite the fact I could find nothing flowering within the foraging area of these bees, and most of the ground was still covered in snow. Here we see Lasioglossum and Sphecodes bees visiting Claytonia lanceolata in the control treatment of the experiment.
Research updates for GK12
In 2011-12 I participated in the NSF GK12 program where I spent one day a week teaching science to Sue Jukosky's 6th grade students at the Indian River School in Canaan, New Hampshire. Unfortunately the low snowpack in 2012 meant we had a very early spring, so I had to leave for Colorado much earlier than I was anticipating. Instead of visiting the school in person, I skyped with them and periodically made videos about my research. Here are a few of the videos I made for them. And yes, that is my terrible guitar-playing in the background. I am so, so sorry.
Bed Bugs
The audio is TERRIBLE, but here is a fun little myth busters-esque video I made to test if garlic could be used to repel bed bugs.

[Monthly News] 2010 Directives of the KCTU: The KCTU will be at the forefront to stop labor oppression and protect democracy
2010 Directives of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions]
The KCTU will be at the forefront
to stop labor oppression and protect democracy
March 4, 2010
Labor rights are essential for democracy
Korea's Ministry of Labor denied the registration of the Korean Government Employees' Union on March 6, for the third time in three month. Not just for KGEU, the ministry ordered the Korean Construction Workers' Union (KCWU) to revise their union establishment report, and the Korean Transport Workers' Union (KTWU) and Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union (KTU) got such orders, too. Almost half the members of the KCTU are about to be illegalized.
Labor rights constitute the essence of democracy. The Korean government's plot to destroy labor unions is, therefore, an attempt to tramp the democratic constitution. In this sense, the KCTU's struggle is not just for protecting union members' rights but also for reviving the suffocated democracy throughout the society.
We will struggle and negotiate at the same time
The KCTU set 2010 major action plans and directives in a recent the Central Executive Committee meeting. The KCTU has set maximizing negotiating power through powerful struggle as the main objective for 2010. That explains why it has decided to participate in the Time-off System Deliberation Council, while the Korean Railway Workers Union, the Korea Cargo Transport Workers' Union, the Korean Construction Workers' Union and other major organizations determined to unfold an all-out struggle, which includes a general strike. The Korea Metal Workers' Union has also decided to mobilize support in specific periods.
The government, ruling and opposition parties, and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions agreed to revise the Trade Union and Labor Relation Adjustment Act in a back-door negotiation last December to prohibit companies from paying full-time union officials and allow multiple unions at the workplace-level with many restrictions posed on their right to bargain. The KCTU Central Executive Committee remains firm against the revision and committed to its re-amendment. The Committee has reaffirmed that its participation in the Deliberation Council was aimed at maximizing negotiating power and rescinding the revised laws. The powerful massive struggle will back up the negotiation processes.
The KCTU will hold a rally that will be attended by about 10,000 unionists on March 27. By April 20, the Federation plans to complete its preparation for a general strike, which is scheduled to take place in late April. Moreover, beyond fighting for wage increase of union members, the KCTU will unfold a nation-wide wage struggle for a minimum wage increase and other measures so that all people can secure basic rights to live.
We will judge the Lee government and the ruling Grand National Party at the local election in June.
Across the nation, people aspire to judge the current government and the ruling party. The coming local election in June will be the judgment day. The KCTU will focus our resource to meet the nation-wide aspiration. We strongly believe that it is our mission to deal a blow to the ruling party in the election. In that sense, we will play a central role in gathering all democratic, progressive forces through solidarity, coalition, unity and integration.
We will Organize People's Action to counteract G20 in November.
The Seoul G20 Summit in November should be a stage for people and workers around the world to express their indignation about the unfairness of globalization, not a ceremony to celebrate governments' achievements. G20 is an antiquated attempt to return to neo-liberalism in an era of crisis it has brought about. Koreans refuse to be spectators to this ceremony. During the G20 period, the KCTU will do everything in our power to stage a massive anti-neo liberalism struggle that will gain attention of people and workers around the globe. To this end, we will prepare to hold People's Action and be a leader of a great transformation.
Government turnover in 2012 is an important mission to KCTU.Lame-duck effects have already started for the Lee government and the June local election will prove that. In 2012, when the next prudential election is scheduled to take place, we should revive democracy by defeating the current powers. The KCTU will be at the forefront to protect democratic society against unilateral politics of the current government and the ruling party. In that process, we will show our union members and Koreans how the KCTU can meet their aspirations. ■

Colorado Geology
From the low-lying eastern plains, to the central peaks soaring more than 14,000 feet above sea level, to the western red-rock canyons: the colorful landscape of Colorado embodies some of the most varied, spectacular, and well-displayed geology in the nation. The evolution of the rocks, climate, life, and structures that formed during the Colorado's 2.7 billion year geologic history offers marvelous insights into the global science of geology. This diverse region provides not only rich mineral and energy resources, but also presents geological hazards that deserve great respect.
Explore and enjoy this section about Colorado's magnificent geology.
Quick Links
Following are a few quotes from earlier geologists. If you would like to have a wonderful primer on Colorado's colorful geology, order a printed copy of Messages in Stone: Colorado's Colorful Geology a perennial favorite of locals and visitors alike.
On all the broad extent of these United States, certainly no region can be found which presents more facts of interest, more opportunities for investigation, and greater possibilities, than the State of Colorado.
— Samuel F. Emmons, geologist on the King Survey of the 40th Parallel from California to Colorado from 1867 to 1872; Director of the Rocky Mountain Division of the United States Geological Survey; and the first president of the Colorado Scientific Society, from his inaugural address.
I do not know of any portion of the West where there is so much variety displayed in the geology as within a space of ten miles square around Colorado City (today's Colorado Springs). Nearly all the elements of geological study revealed in the Rocky Mountains are shown on a unique scale in this locality.
— F. V. Hayden, geological expedition leader to the Colorado region between 1869 to 1876, from the first expedition report.
The geology of Colorado is written in the rocks. From this great book are here presented a few translations of a few paragraphs. The scenery of Colorado is a gallery incomparable. Words lack form and light – the essence and soul of scenery. At best they can but call attention to the elements associated in the picture. They cannot convey the beauty and harmony of the assemblage.
— The first director (1908-26) of the Colorado Geological Survey, Russell D. George, in the preface to his 1927 book, Geology and Natural Resources of Colorado.

July was a quiet month in the employee benefits world. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released draft Forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C, and 1095-C. The IRS also released an information letter on the employer shared responsibility provisions.
UBA Updates
UBA released two new advisors:
- COBRA Liability in Mergers and Acquisitions
- Federal Requirements for Fully Insured and Self-Funded Plans
UBA updated existing guidance:
- Health Savings Accounts: What You Need to Know
- Option for Some to Renew Policies That Do Not Fully Meet ACA Standards
- Extension of Maximum COBRA Coverage Period
- Frequently Asked Questions about the Patient-Centered Outcomes / Comparative Effectiveness (PCORI) Fee
- What Group Plan Sponsors Need to Know about ERISA
IRS Releases Draft Forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C, and 1095-C
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released draft Forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C, and 1095-C. Employers will use the final version of these forms to report on offers of health coverage to full-time employees and their family members, and enrollment in health coverage by employees and their family members (for employers that sponsor self-insured health plans).
There are no substantive changes to draft Forms 1094-B, 1095-B, or 1094-C for 2018. There is a minor formatting change to draft Form 1095-C for 2018. There are dividers for the entry of an individual's first name, middle name, and last name.
Employers will have more information about any additional changes to these forms when the IRS releases its draft instructions for these forms.
IRS Releases Information Letter on Employer Shared Responsibility
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released its Information Letter 2018-0013 to reiterate how the employer shared responsibility provisions would apply to an applicable large employer. Specifically, the IRS explained how the Service Contract Act (SCA) interacts with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA).
As background, the SCA requires workers who are employed on certain federal contracts to be paid prevailing wages and fringe benefits. An employer generally can satisfy its fringe benefit obligation by providing the cash equivalent of benefits or a combination of cash and benefits. Alternatively, an employer may permit employees to choose among various benefits, or various benefits and cash. An employer may choose to provide fringe benefits under the SCA by offering an employee the option to enroll in health coverage provided by the employer (including an option to decline that coverage). If the employee declines the coverage, that employer would then generally be required by the SCA to provide the employee with cash or other benefits of an equivalent value.
This Information Letter refers to IRS Notice 2015-87 which describes how the ACA and the SCA may be coordinated for plan years beginning before January 1, 2017, and until further guidance is issued and applicable. Notice 2015-87 clarifies that, for employees under the SCA, the choice of a cash-out payment will generally not require an employer to pay a greater share of the cost of the health coverage for the coverage to be considered affordable.
Question of the Month
- What if a plan sponsor fails to file or pay the PCORI fee?
- Although the PCORI statute and its regulations do not include a specific penalty for failure to report or pay the PCORI fee, the plan sponsor may be subject to penaltiesfor failure to file a tax return because the PCORI fee is an excise tax.
The plan sponsor should consult with its attorney on how to proceed with a late filing or late payment of the PCORI fee. The PCORI regulations note that the penalties related to late filing of Form 720 or late payment of the fee may be waived or abated if the plan sponsor has reasonable cause and the failure was not due to willful neglect.
If a plan sponsor already filed Form 720 (for example, for a different excise tax), then the plan sponsor can make a correction to a previously filed Form 720 by using Form 720X.

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday ❤
I have a hand-full of beauty products on my wish list (don't we all?), which range from drugstore must-haves to high-end exclusives. One product on my list stood out to me several months ago because of its lovely array of eyeshadows and highlighters. Carli Bybel, a YouTube Personalty and Beauty Guru, collaborated with BH Cosmetics and released a palette that has gained notable attention from the beauty community. I finally got ahold of this palette and included my thoughts (AND swatches!) below.
Carli Bybel designed this versatile 14 Color Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette to dial up the drama and add excitement to your look. Carli's taste for chic refinement and modern elegance inspired her to select a collection of earthy neutrals and plummy brown shadows with four face highlighters that complement every skin tone. (bhcosmetics.com)
Palette Details
The 14 Color Eyeshadow and Highlighter Palette by Carli Bybel, in collaboration with BH Cosmetics, is a vegan and cruelty-free product. The design of the packaging resembles that of a pearl loveseat with tight diamond tufting. There isn't much weight to the product (1.68 oz), however, there's a commendable sized mirror inside. The palette itself can be purchased at Ulta Beauty (both in stores and online!) and on BH Cosmetics's website, retailing at $14.50.
The quote located inside of the palette reads: Aspire to Inspire. This is the only text visible when you open the palette and I realized the eyeshadows do not have names. The eyeshadow pans are about the size of a quarter (U.S. coin) and the highlighters are relatively larger with a flowery stamp design. This palette has a magnetic closure and does not include any additional accessories, such as a brush.
As I mentioned before, the eyeshadows and highlighters in this particular palette are not named. The first row contains four matte eyeshadows and one shimmery eyeshadow. The following row has four shimmery eyeshadows and one matte eyeshadow. Lastly, the third row is composed of four highlighters that can also be used as eyeshadows.
*Note: The images below are arranged according to the order of eyeshadows and highlighters in the palette.
Final Thoughts
I don't personally own anything from BH Cosmetics other than this palette, so I can't compare this eyeshadow/highlight formula with some of their other products. There are a couple of eyeshadows that are not as pigmented as I would like, specifically the fourth shadow in the first row and fifth shadow in the second row, but they do all blend easily. I love the shades created for this palette and I feel they work well for many looks.
Overall, I'm fairly impressed with the quality of the eyeshadows and highlighters in this palette. The mirror inside the palette was a pleasant surprise and although there is a bit of eyeshadow fall-out, the palette is a great value (I purchased it for $11 w/a coupon!). Most of the eyeshadows have great pigmentation and its convenient having highlighters all in one palette. I look forward to trying more products from BH Cosmetics and Carli Bybel in the future.
P.S. I post every Wednesday and Friday (well I try too! lol).

All Autistic Children Should Learn to Swim
Children with autism are drawn into the water, and rates of drowning are very high. In fact 91% of all wandering deaths for autistic children are because of drowning. We want to change that with our swim lessons for autistic children. Autistic children see, feel and understand things in a different way, which makes teaching them to swim an entirely new challenge. However, our swimming instructors have experience with kids on the spectrum, and understand the best techniques to help your child learn to swim and be safe around the water. Of course every child with autism is different, but our instructors have a wide range of experience, and know how to use flexible teaching to make the special needs swimming lessons work for you. Patience, understanding and the desire to help all children learn to swim is the goal of all our swim instructors.
Water Is A Wonderful Addition
For many children with special needs, autism or otherwise, swimming can be a very therapeutic pastime. For autistic children water can be calming on sensory overloads, and in children with physical disabilities the water provides a weightless environment that is often very freeing. Special needs swim lessons unlock the benefits and enjoyment of water for those children, giving them freedom of movement.We love bringing swimming to the lives of children with special needs,
Autism, Asperger's or related syndromes
Cerebral Palsy
Down Syndrome
Sensory Integration Disorder
Physical difficulties
Sensory challenges
And Many Others
