One of the most difficult things to face in life is to know that you are dying and that you do not have much time left. It is even more difficult if you are suffering in great pain, unable to move or help yourself. This is where palliative care comes in; to support and help people who are at the end of their life by providing care and relief in the most dignifying and manageable way.
Palliative care is not about prolonging life, but it is about improving the quality of life left.
About the Project
Sadly 86% of the world population do not have access to palliative care and many are unable to afford it. As a consequence, people die in horrendous states, often alone and abandoned by family who are unable to afford the care needed or give the full time support required due to facing their own levels of poverty and hardship.
Doctors Worldwide is currently working in Rwanda in collaboration with the very first and only community based palliative care organisation Al-Amal, to help support the scale up and delivery of palliative care for dying and destitute patients who without Al-Amal, would die a lonely and painful death. Al-Amal has been providing palliative care on a voluntary basis over the last 5 years through a group of dedicated and committed volunteers and medical workers based in Rwanda.
How are we helping?
DWW is providing long-term training support to 35 community based volunteer healthcare workers and medical personnel in palliative care, as well as supporting 30 families with healthcare including medical insurance, transportation to hospital appointments, monthly food packages for patients and their families, educational support for dependent children of terminally ill patients as well as respite. We are also providing financial support for Al-Amal to employ a qualified nurse to work full time with all the patients and their families. Currently Al-Amal are only able to provide palliative care during the weekends as most of the volunteers work full time or have families to take care of. The provision of a full time specialist nurse has meant that many patients and their families no longer have to wait until the weekend to get help especially when an emergency arises such as when medicines or food have ran out, therefore reducing the suffering as a result.
Doctors Worldwide will be delivering a variety of training to help Al-Amal and their team continue to develop and provide palliative care in a holistic and impactful manner. Our palliative care working group consists of Rwandan doctors and nurses, as well as UK healthcare workers who together work to build and develop the training aspect of the project and provide 1-1 mentoring to bring palliative care into the forefront of Rwandan community health.
The collaboration is being supported by the Ministry of Health of Rwanda who has recently entered into an agreement to help support the programme over the next 5 years.
Donate to Doctors Worldwide today to help make the last moments of a dying person's life dignifying and pain free.

I would enlist here the list of articles which explains why DI is important in designing software today satisfying a few goals like
- Code management
- System learning curve / Ambiguity Management
- API Dependency management
- Testability
- Monitoring
- Application Life Cycle
API dependency management is hard, really hard. It's harder than library dependency management, it's harder than deployment dependency management, it's harder than any kind of dependency management in software engineering. This is because it's very easy to create API's which hides their dependencies by natural habit, and this practice is pervasive, even in the platforms I designed before. I am lucky to run into some great articles on it and I would recommend every developer should have some time to read them.
1. Learn about APIs' being "pathological liars"
It really explains how we make EVIL APIs everyday. Though it's written with Singletons, the same problems defined exists outside Singletons, too. What you need to know, must not be hidden! What you need to know must be created as a injectable and fungible object.
2. DI can be a soul partner for your unit testing
The more we are progressing, the more unit test are becoming important. If you are concerned about a good code coverage, you probably already know why DI is too important.
to be coninuted….
//3. DI can give important insights of a running application.
//4. Managing and monitoring global objects
//5. Proper object construction
//6. Systematic Application Startup & Shutdown

Self Discipline is key to holding back increase in dishonesty in sports
Sport is defined as an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature. We expect as spectators, fans, participants or organisers that the competition is fair and everyone upholds the integrity of a particular sport. However, it clear that the trappings obtained from success is causing increase in dishonesty in sports. It is never going to be eradicated completely but self discipline is key to holding back the speed.
Firstly, we need to identify the factor/s that is the driving force behind our decisions. This will help to control the outcome and then create or apply a viable solution. Personally, there are 2 main primary factors influence of money and indiscipline. In all sports,having the financial muscle allows you to buy the best equipment kit, available resources or sign the best players. Competitors or opponents lacking the finance look impatiently for ways to compensate for difference . They do not have the patience to improve their technical skill without actually putting the hard work or resist illegal offers.
Wealthy owners of certain football teams are investing significant money in acquiring talented football players. The players are paid handsomely for their talents. This leaves opposing teams with less talented or average squad. This creates an unfair advantage or competition across the league.
The players not selected by the wealthy owners, try different ways to bridge the gap. This might be taking illegal actions to compete and be successful. The idea is to rely on your craft to compensate for deficiency in technical or physical skills. The owners of these teams with average squad might be tempted to accept financial offers to influence the results .We have noticed increase in referees becoming a significant factor in the outcome of a football match.
In recent months, we have seen increase in referee match scandals in football matches played in the various leagues. Referees are supposed to manage matches and apply the law fairly. However, we hear about referees offered substantial amount of money to influence the outcome.
The biggest high profile incident in Nigeria this year involved players and officials of the Four Nigeria Nation Wide League Division 3 clubs that were implicated in the high scoring goal matches.
Briefing the press on the reports of the NFF investigative committee on the scandal, vice chairman of the NFF, Mike Umeh, who is also the committee chairman disclosed that evidence that was made available to the committee proved that both Plateau United feeders and Police Machine teams were involved in fraudulent activities with their opponents, which was aimed at outwitting each other in order to top the zone and gain promotion to the upper division of the league.
The players and officials, as well as, the referees got life ban for their part in the disgraceful act, while the clubs- Plateau United Feeders FC of Jos, Police Machine FC of Adamawa, Akurba FC of Lafia and Bubayaro FC of Gombe, which qualified for the NNWL Division 3 play off in Bauchi were accused of been involved in a match fixing scandal that led to the record of a total of 146 goals in two separate matches, where Plateau United defeated Akurba FC 79-0, while police machine team recorded a scandalous 67-0 margin against Bubayaro FC of Gombe.
There was also a recent incident in Ghana involving 9 referees, who falsified their age to appear younger. Ghana Football Association (GFA) served six months suspension effective September 15 on nine referees for their alleged involvement in age fraud. The match officials portray themselves much younger in their quest to move up the ladder and be selected for international competitions.
The management of African nations like any other football nation have always wanted the best for their nation. The difference is that a recent number of African nations e.g Cape Verde Islands, Togo, Ethiopia have been found guilty of fielding ineligible players. It is a sad situation, considering the management have to show example to the individual players and the professional teams. FIFA have recognised this problem and seem to be urgently punishing culprits. The problem is whether other African nations will learn from these culprits.
If you go by recent history, then it does not look like being a deterrent. The difference in financial gains between success and failure is huge reason. I am aware that sports has benefited massively with introduction of finance. It has helped under privileged regions have access to equipment or coaching facility. This helps directly to improve technical skill in a particular sport. Finance is also important contributor in upholding the integrity by allowing the inspectors to conduct drug tests.
The challenge is to prevent Finance becoming the driving factor as oppose to the assistance. We want to inject finance and have a fair competition. It is no secret that we have been participant or witness of dishonesty in sports. Each person decides on the best action to take depending on what is at stake. Personally, I have always been as honest and fair as possible. However, I would be lying if I have at the time unknown to me called a tennis ball out, when it is inside the line.
I have not taken this action in full knowledge that it was an unfair call. I called it as it appeared to me. Our individual actions might seem insignificant at the time of the event. In addition, we easily blame players, management, referees or others for dishonesty in sports. But, it is our principles that influence our family, friends, work colleague and then this in turn transferred to the society.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Agent support has now been added to the existing support for Enterprise Manager Repository checks. The agent checks now appear in a new "Enterprise Manager" section of the report. With the new EM 12c Agent checks, you will quickly identify common EM Agent configuration mistakes that if undetected can result in poor performance or a failure to run the Agent process.
New Report Section "Findings Needing Further Review"
There are certain things ORAchk can only do a partial check for, where a complete check requires information outside the scope of the machine or that require other customer specific knowledge. These partially identified checks now appear in the new section marked "Findings needing further review". If you review these checks and verify they are not problematic you can choose to exclude them in the same way as any other checks, see Document 1268927.2 for further details.
Improved Health Score Calculation
The ORAchk Health Score calculation has been improved with version 18.104.22.168.3. Certain INFO level checks, which only communicate best practice and do not confirm a problem in your environment, no longer deduct points from your health score. This means that if you follow the recommended advice for excluding any non relevant "Findings needing further review" then a health score of 100 is now obtainable.
Over 60 New Health Checks
This release of ORAchk adds new checks for some of the most impactful problems seen to Oracle Customer Support specifically in the areas of:
- Database performance, install, scalability & ASM

Essential Points on Millennial Diversification
Diversification is taking the lead from one generation to another. The changes currently witnessed are not like the past years. Diversification has also occurred even in the carrier aspect. You need to note that the experience is not the same way as it used to be thirty years back. The fast-changing trend is to move with the diversification and making it possible to adopt the new life. Living a better life has been one of the desires of every person. This page, therefore, provides a discussion of some of the diversification that is beneficial towards the new changing trends.
You will note that every person desire to move from nine to five in the place of work. Benefits of the lucrative pensions are not witnessed by many employees who have worked in the same firm for more than forty years. It is vital to note that the experience is now altered five times compared to the past years. Adoption of the changing life trend is currently possible since there are significant opportunities in the place of work. With many freelancing positions readily available, it is not a must to have a location to make a good living. A good plan, some Internet connection, as well as hustle are among the essentials needed when one is in need of starting a business.
The passive income obsession is a concept that is vital when it comes to making investments. The building of the passive income is not a new concept, but it sounds good in improving the financial health. Effectively operation of many companies as they improve their finances is through the adoption of the passive income obsession. The many options available in the market makes it possible to improve the financial health. You can use the Google search tools and click on the computer to invest and grow your income.
It will need one to add some funds if you want to get high return concerning investments. Fourthly, the Real Estate and Airbnb are sufficient to increase your wealth. Becoming reputable and highly recognized real estate investor will not require one to be a multibillionaire. All you need is to have a rock-solid business strategy as well as grit that wouldn't quit. It is through employing a property manager that the management of real estate becomes easy.
It is currently easy to improve your source of investments by taking the Airbnb concepts. Investing is currently easy with the use of Ebooks, and subscription services. One effective ways of increment the revenue in the Ebook and subscription services to sell them on the Amazon . The adoption of the limitless housing arrangements is useful when it comes to investments.

Commentary on the Gospel of
It seems nearly impossible to disregard the comments, perceptions, judgments, or opinions of others. Words have meaning and as humans we feel their sting.
In today's gospel from John, I realize just how important it is to master your thought life. The world can tell us many lies about our identity, but if we remember our identity is in Christ, then we should not let what others say affect us. We might not be (fill in the blank) enough, according to someone else's standards. In our thought life, we have to train ourselves to spot the lie and instead redirect our minds to the truth — we are loved, valued, adored, children of God.
John 15:19 says "but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you." These are times we have to ask ourselves 'would we would rather be loved by the world, or loved by God?' There is no fulfillment in being what or who someone else wants you to be; the greatest joy comes from being the person God perfectly designed you to be.

Filming begins on the Russo Brothers' Cherry
Filming on the Russo Brothers' Cherry is currently underway as the filmmakers have shared a new set photo of their latest film starring Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Far From Home). You can check out the full photo now in the gallery below and click here to see Tom Holland's dramatic new look for the film!
RELATED: Robert Downey Jr. Declined an Oscar Campaign for Avengers: Endgame
The Hideaway Entertainment and AGBO Films have begun principal photography on the film, which is based on Nico Walker's bestselling novel of the same name.
Cherry tells the true-life story of author Nico Walker, a former Army medic who returned from Iraq with extreme un-diagnosed PTSD and fell into opioid addiction and began robbing banks. Walker was caught in 2011 and is scheduled to be released in 2020. The novel has been branded as a sort of hybrid of Jesus' Son and Reservoir Dogs; a story about love, war, bank robberies, and heroin. You can get your own copy of the new release by clicking here! Walker previously handled the bidding war for his book while serving time in prison, which complicated matters since he was only allotted a specific amount of minutes per phone call.
"We were drawn to Cherry given our personal experience from Cleveland, as well as the important need to share stories like these. As Cleveland natives ourselves, it means a lot to us to be able to film in our hometown. We shot the exteriors for 'Winter Soldier' here, we are excited to return home to our roots," said the Russos.
Additional cast includes Ciara Bravo (Wayne), Bill Skarsgard (IT), Jack Reynor (Midsommar), Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), Jeff Wahlberg (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), Michael Gandolfini (The Deuce), and Kyle Harvey (The After Party).

Cherry was adapted by Jessica Goldberg (The Path) and co-written by Angela Otstot (The Shield). The movie is produced by the Russo Brothers, Chris Castaldi and studio president Mike Larocca under their AGBO Films banner, alongside CEO Jonathan Grey and President Matthew Rhodes under their The Hideaway Entertainment banner. Cherry will be executive produced by Todd Makurath and Jake Aust from AGBO and The Hideaway Entertainment's Kristy Maurer Grisham and Judd Payne.

Uprooting the roots of evil
Dec 24, 2018
After uprooting the cursed fig tree on December 21, 2018, our heavenly Father immediately turned our attention to deeper problems, sins and curses that preceded the founding of Jerusalem which have been with us from the beginning.
The Beast empires uprooted
As I wrote earlier, one by one each evil spirit of the beast empires were summoned to the divine court, and we were required to cast them out into outer darkness. It started with the little horn, followed by the second little horn. We were able to distinguish them as the beast from the sea and the beast from the earth in Revelation 13:1, 11.
Then the next one was summoned and was identified with "iron," so it was obvious that this was the spirit of the Iron Kingdom (Rome). The next was identified as the leopard of Greece, and by this time we could see the pattern. The spirits of the beast empires were being summoned to court for judgment, one at a time, beginning with the last beast and working back to the first. The last shall be first, and the first shall be last.
So in that session, the spirit of the Medes and the spirit of the Persians were judged, followed by Babylon. We thought that would conclude the court session, but suddenly another manifested his presence, and this was identified as the spirit of Assyria, the empire which preceded Babylon and which took the Israelites captive. This was followed by the spirit of Egypt.
Then God abruptly adjourned for the day, telling us that this was to continue the following day at 1:00 pm. We guessed that we would have to go back to Adam.
The next day, December 22, the court was again in session, and the first spirit to be judged was that of Esau-Edom. We understood this when Sharon grabbed her heel during the deliverance and was unable to let go. It was as if Esau was trying to imitate Jacob, the "heel-catcher," which is what his name literally means.
After Esau came the spirit of Nimrod, and Sharon saw a man flexing his muscles. Nimrod was a "mighty hunter" (Genesis 10:9). After him came the spirit of Cush, Nimrod's father, and then the spirit of Canaan was summoned. This spirit manifested as a lobster, a bottom-feeder. Canaan means merchant-banker or lowlander.
After him came the spirit of Ham, which means "hot, burnt." Sharon saw a ham being roasted over an open fire. Next was the spirit of Cain, and Sharon saw a candy cane with blood on it. Finally, the spirit of Adam was brought forth, and his nose was breathing into the sand with a leaf on top. We recognized that God had breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and that Adam and Eve had later sown fig leaves to hide their nakedness (exposure after they sinned).
We thought we were done, but then another spirit was summoned for judgment. It manifested as an archangel on a mountain, and we identified this spirit as an angelic problem prior to creation. Whatever happened is largely shrouded in mystery, but Jude 6 speaks of "angels who did not keep their own domain but abandoned their proper abode." Again, 2 Peter 2:4 speaks of "angels when they sinned." I personally have tried to avoid teaching on that topic, since so few details are given in Scripture. Nonetheless, by encountering spirits associated with these "angels," we are given further evidence that some sort of problem (sin) occurred prior to Adam's fall. Otherwise, we would have had to deal with this particular evil spirit before dealing the evil spirit of Adam.
When the next spirit manifested, Sharon heard the word Tote or Toth, which I recognized as an old god that was worshiped in Egypt. I looked up the name on the internet and discovered that he was known by some traditions as the god of creation and of writing. He was also considered to be the patron saint of scribes.
We discerned by this that this evil spirit had to do with a false creation narrative that had been written in the sacred writings of false religion. False concepts of God and His character are at the root of all religion. By dealing with Toth, the divine court uprooted this misconception of God, preparing the way for truth to prevail in the time ahead.
Coming Full Circle
We thought that we had finished our court duty for the day, but suddenly more evil spirits were summoned. These turned out to be about the current situation, bringing us full circle back to the present. With the first evil spirit, Sharon saw a shield with a red cross in the center, and she drew a sketch of it. I understood this to be the Templar Cross. It is most visible on the Swiss flag.
Sharon also sketched a chalice, and I understood it to be the "holy grail." The holy grail is represented by a chalice, but it actually refers to sangreal, "holy bloodline." It refers to the belief that the Merovingians are descended from Jesus and Mary Magdalene. You can see this in Laurence Gardner's book, Bloodline of the Holy Grail, the Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed.
The book claims that Jesus did not really die on the cross, but that He survived, married Mary Magdalene, and had three children with her, including Jesus, Jr. This is the supposed origin of the Merovingian dynasty, and most of the royal families of Europe today trace their bloodline to this particular dynasty. In effect, the Merovingians claim the divine right to rule the earth according to their genealogy from Jesus. They were trying to outdo the Roman Catholic claim by apostolic succession from Peter.
At any rate, we bound and cast out that evil spirit of the Templars, so that the individual Templars themselves can be set free of the lie that Jesus did not really die on the cross.
The final evil spirit that was summoned for judgment was actually 13 spirits, which we asked to be combined into one so that they might be judged together. That would simply make it easier and less painful for Sharon, who was manifesting them in the divine court. These spirits were the 13 main families of witchcraft whose representatives form the Council of 13 that rules the world.
While there were many details involved in each of these judgments rendered, this account is sufficient to reveal what was put on the record. Obviously, to understand these things, one would have to do a lot of reading and study to know who is really running the world in secret.

Tiger found dead in Odisha
Odisha's tiger re-introduction programme received a jolt as a three-year-old Royal Bengal Tiger brought from Madhya Pradesh died in the Satkosia Tiger Reserve in Angul district.
The Forest Department on Thursday confirmed that the big cat identified as Mahavir, who was one of the first to be translocated in the country earlier in 2018, from the Kanha Tiger Reserve died in Satkosia.
The carcass has a deep laceration wound, infested with five-day-old maggots, in the dorsal neck region of the big cat that might be its cause of death mortality, a statement from the reserve forest department said.
The site of the incidence has not been disturbed as per protocol.
"Hence, the exact reason of the mortality and time of incidence will be ascertained after conducting a detail post-mortem examination," it added.
Satkosia wildlife divisional forest officer Ramasamy P. will head the probe.

Social Networks Grow Up, Too!
Naresh Apte & Toral Kale
Thursday, July 7, 2011
Social Networking is here. And while there are allegations of disappearing users; the truth is that time spent on facebook and other behemoth social networking sites seems to have overtaken time spent on Google. In addition, if you look around you'll find that pretty much everyone has an internet landing page. And while the more tech-centric folks will have the "Works"— web site, a blog, a tumblr, a Facebook profile and a LinkedIn profile (and don't forget a Twitter account), I think we'll be hard-pressed to find someone completely void of the net home. The most anti-social individual still needs to earn money and thus will have at least a LinkedIn profile that doubles as a resume.
Social Networking 1.0
So what is everyone doing? The spectrum of social activity is quite colorful. On one side you'll find the simplest facebook user. Everyone has one of these in their account; this is the "friend" that has a landing page only to be found and contacted; he won't post anything, won't reply to anything, and probably doesn't even log-in unless he has to accept a friend request. His use is what you can akin to a P.O. box. As you cross the spectrum, you'll find the friend that reports every activity, every meal, every outing, and maybe every thought (hopefully not). We think most of us fall in the average band of the spectrum. We follow our friends' journeys, as they graduate, get married, have kids, have birthdays, and have vacations. We find ourselves wishing them along their milestones, sharing some of our milestones or funny moments of our lives. Social networking 1.0 allows us to manage our networks, share our milestones, follow others; it creates the social fabric, if you will. Maybe the fabric will be colored less of Toral and more of Ashton Kutcher but we're both there just the same. Where else can Ashton Kutcher follow you with just 1 click?
Move over Kids
Something interesting is happening; more and more grownups are getting in on the social fabric. We find it comforting to reconnect with old friends and far away relatives or even our next door neighbor. Maybe as we get older, it's comforting to take some of our past with us. However, as more and more of us start to use the social network we can see a change of tide. We tend to expect more of our social network. We have said hi, we have wished folks happy birthday; what's next? What is going to keep us adults interested? We believe that social interactions facilitated by these networks will grow up too.
They will not be limited to the light greetings and placards. We believe putting our social network to good use is the key to keep adults hooked. We're asking our network to help us be better; to help us live better. "How can I clean my refrigerator without harsh chemicals?" was asked recently on a social network. "Any good recommendations for a Director of Marketing?" was asked to a LinkedIn network. Of course, the answer to both of these questions could be obtained through a search engine. But what will be returned is a plethora of URLs that need to be reviewed, judged against others, and finally pared down. The responses from your network are already filtered, reviewed, weighed against others …your social network did that work for you; and when people from your network reply—their names are attached to that. There's an inherent level of quality you can assume (unless of course you have some ill wishers in your social network!)
Social Network 2.0
Social networking too will grow up; the next frontier will facilitate the more serious social interactions. Social networking 2.0 will allow us to harness the network we built and reinforced in 1.0. Our needs are evolving as we get more adept at maintaining our social network in the midst of real life. You can imagine social networking 2.0 helping us move up Maslow's Hierarchy of needs as we strive to obtain esteem and self-actualization. The current social networking technology is excellent at connecting people, keeping up-to-date, and even having water cooler style chit chat. But what about sharing expertise online with your network. Rather than relying solely on search engines which return pages of results, your network would appreciate and probably applaud you if you could point them in the right direction. Or what about having meaningful discourse alongside a topic or building an online reputation without the upkeep of a fresh and consistently insightful blog? We believe that innovation is happening all around us to facilitate the serious social networking feature set. Some early examples can be seen right now:
*Social networking 2.0 in the company: provides better visibility and access to colleagues and the wealth of information they can offer.
* Social networking 2.0 for the professional: provides a way to harness your professional network to gain insights, expand your network, or even get referrals.
*Social networking 2.0 for the curious and aspiring individual: provides a way to live better (not just theoretically). It is for the "me" in life. I can harness my network to get better answers, to learn new things, to help me make better decisions. For example, Fooducate makes understanding nutrition labels quick, easy and part of my grocery shopping process. I can make better purchases that are healthier for the whole family.
A grain of salt
We have all heard the risks prevalent in social networking past. As we venture forward, risks will still be present. Human interactions whether in person or via bits and bytes will always be fraught with risks. In social networking 2.0, we believe that the more visible you are the more visible your achievements, your pitfalls, your face, and words will be. Imagine you offered your recommendation for a Director of Marketing from the example earlier and imagine that candidate does not quite live up to the hype. You might have dinged your value to network and diminished your ability to harness it as well. The value is a reciprocal function. The same advice applies. Think twice before you submit and always remember that the social fabric is lightening fast so when you submit something, the tentacles will take it far and wide. We all must be careful, use caution, and always assume your words will live on somewhere and have the potential to harm.
Social networking 1.0 provides for the niceties in life. It allows us to connect, form virtual groups, share pictures, milestones, and day to day life. It allows us to not only bridging the years but also the miles between us. We believe that social networking 2.0 provides for the needs in life. It allows us to harness the power of the network we cultivate every day with a status update, a post or a tweet. It will allow us to share knowledge in addition to updates. It will allow us to make our lives and our network's lives better. So rather than only getting congratulations on your recent promotion from your social network, it could very well have been the social network that helped you get it.

- The operation of Defend Lock is very easy, as it can be locked simply by turning and pushing the lock cylinder. All you have to do to unlock it is to slightly turn the key with its own Defend Lock profile.
- The system is based on blocking the gear lever in the reverse gear position of manual transmission or the parking position of the automatic transmission.
- The car security Defend Lock has a five year guarantee!
Sandblasting of car windows
Do you want to reduce the risk of the theft of your car by 96%? Then secure your car with very easy, but very effective sandblasted glass.
How sandblasting of the car windows helps to prevent it from being stolen?
- Sandblasting car windows means a depreciation of cars for thieves. Everyone who has had to replace the glass of an entire car knows that it costs about twenty thousand crowns and more. A thief loses that money when he/she steals a car with marked windows.
- More money is lost during the sale itself. The windows of each car are marked with a homologation which includes the production date - in most cases corresponding to the production year of the car. For example, if a thief steals a Skoda Octavia car produced in 2000 (there is a homologation mark on all car windows with the production year of glass - 2000) with windows marked with a code, it is necessary to change these windows to legalize the stolen car in the Czech Republic. The thief will have to get not only a full set of windows, but windows produced in 2000, and this is no easy task.
- The thief usually has no choice but to exchange them for entirely new windows (i.e. with another production year). This can be seen by almost every mechanic and it can mean only two things - either the car has been in a serious accident or it is stolen. In both cases, the price of the car is below the normal value and therefore not of interest for the thief.

I got a pint of the most awesome strawberries ever courtesy of HighCross Farm. The weather has been unbearably hot on Wisconsin. I thought some ice cream would be appropriate.
I found this recipe here. I liked this recipe because you use two eggs. That's it. Not the typical 8 egg yolk recipe traditional ice cream bases call for.
This recipe makes lighter in fat, lighter in texture ice cream. I think you will be pleased when you make this. I used my kitchenaid ice cream attachment to make this. You can use any ice cream maker, or no ice cream maker at all.
Strawberry Ice Cream
sweet cream base
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream (or whipping cream)
1 cup milk
1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/3 cup sugar
juice from 1/2 lemon
zest from 1 lemon (optional)
Combine strawberries, lemon juice/zest, and 1/3 cup sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Once strawberries have refrigerated, prepare the sweet cream base. Whisk eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the sugar and continue whisking for a minute longer. Add the cream and milk, stir until fully combined.
Combine the strawberry mixture into the sweet cream base. Pour into an ice-cream mixer and mix according to mixer instructions.
I didn't get a dark pink colored ice cream typical of most store bought strawberry ice creams. What I got was this luscious very very pale pink ice cream with wonderful chunks of fresh strawberries. Incredible.
Close up…

OK, so while I'm preparing for the May 1st audition on CBC's Dragon's Den, I thought it would be a good idea to just update everyone on what we're doing with the website. First, we're coming out with more legal forms + video guides. We've received some great media attention since launching (Newtalk 1010, National Post blog, Lawyers Weekly, Goldhawk Live, Canadian Bar Association Bar Talk and more on the way…), but now we've got to hunker down and do 2 things: create more packages and tell people about 'em. So I've been working on a number of new packages which will be released in the coming days.
First, we're putting out a new Independent Contractor Agreement (with Statement of Work included). This differs slightly from the Independent Contractor Agreement that already exists because it includes a Schedule to address issues related to the services which the Independent Contractor will perform. The Independent Contractor Agreement package which currently exists (no Statement of Work included) is almost the same thing, but a Client will include all the particulars about the Services within the contract itself and not in a Schedule. I think that both are very good, but the one you use will depend on your business. For example, if you're a Client dealing with just 1 independent contractor and 1 job or project, then you may not need to have a separate schedule. Just use the contract. If, however, you're dealing with many independent contractors and simply want to make minor changes to the contract itself and reserve the nuts and bolts to a Schedule, then use the Independent Contractor Agreement that comes with a Statement of Work form in the Schedule. Both sell for $97 and come with a free video tutorial and 2 free written guides. FYI, an Independent Contractor Agreement is often called a Master Service Agreement, Consulting Agreement, etc.
The next package we've almost got ready to go is an Employment Agreement with an indefinite term. This is going to be very popular with Human Resource companies and others who want to hire people, not as independent contractors, but as employees. The words "indefinite term" means that once the person gets hired, they will continue to be employed until they resign or get terminated. This is probably a more popular way of doing employment agreements instead of having fixed terms because there are lots of problems if you don't end the employment relationship on the date in the agreement.
The next few packages – which we hope to release sometime next week – are going to be VERY popular. You guessed it: Ontario Cohabitation Agreements and Marriage Contracts (often referred to as Prenuptial Agreements). These are somewhat complicated, but have no fear: we'll be offering different versions of these agreements with enough guidance to walk you through it all. There will be Ontario Cohabitation Agreements which SURVIVE marriage (the one we have released does not survive marriage) and which become Marriage Contracts. We will have Ontario Cohabitation Agreements which also create financial obligations on the parties (the one we have released already avoids creating financial obligations concerning support and the division of property). Finally, we will have Ontario Marriage Contracts (also referred to as Pre-nups) that deal with both no-financial and financial obligations as between the parties. This is going to be very popular…
Finally, this weekend – weather permitting – I'll be finishing up what I started last Saturday: the final parody video about the Ontario Reports.
Hopefully, all of these packages will be ready and released by next week and definitely before my May 1st audition on CBC's Dragon's Den 🙂

RIO DE JANEIRO • When South African Achmat Hassiem competes in the Paralympic swimming pool, he motivates himself by imagining a shark just behind – the shark that bit off half his leg a decade ago.
The fates of Hassiem and sharks have been inextricably wrapped up since that day off Cape Town when a great white shark caught him during a lifeguard training drill.
Then, the shark almost killed him. Today, the injury has propelled him into the Rio Paralympics. And next week, having completed his third and final Games, he will start a new career: globetrotting advocate for saving sharks from overfishing.
"My nickname is 'shark boy'. Everyone calls me 'sharky' or 'shark boy'," he told AFP on Tuesday after competing in the 100m freestyle, in which he did not make the final.
When Hassiem, 34, gets into the pale-blue pool, he thinks back to the moment when he took what was almost the last swim of his life.
"I actually use that fear when I race," he said.
"I imagine a 4.7-metre great white shark guiding me down the lane and pushing me to try and get out on top."
It was Aug 13, 2006, and then 24-year-old Hassiem and his younger brother Tariq were playing the role of victims in a lifeguard exercise off Muizenberg beach.
While waiting to be picked up by a rescue boat, Hassiem noticed a grey triangle approach his brother.
"I decided to look under the water," he said. When he resurfaced, he "screamed". His brother was in the path of a huge shark.
Hassiem began to beat on the water to draw the threat away from Tariq. The plan worked - it saved his brother.
Hassiem, though, had to fight for his life.
"In just a matter of seconds I was face to face with a shark," he said.
Struggling to keep away from the shark's mouth, he even tried to mount on its back, only to find that "my right leg didn't want to come forward".
"That's when I saw that half my leg was in the shark's mouth already."
The shark dragged Hassiem underwater for about 50 metres, and only when the shark finally severed his leg could he return to the surface and be rescued.
Hassiem recovered, but his right leg was gone and so, too, his dreams of moving from a semi-professional football career to full time.
It was multi-medal winning South African Paralympic and Olympic swimmer Natalie
"Now comes the crazy bit," he laughed. Last year, he was named a Global Shark Guardian by the United Nations.
"What that entails is that I work to protect sharks all over the world, sort of like an advocate or ambassador for sharks," >he said.
Far from harbouring hatred or anger at the animal that almost took his life, he feels a sense of duty to stop the overfishing that is destroying shark populations and threatening to disrupt the ocean food chain.
"The statistics are terrible. A hundred million sharks approximately are killed a year and, you know, more humans are killed by toasters than they are by sharks," he added.

Douglas Gageby, who was regarded as "a colossus of Irish journalism", has died in Dublin aged 85.
He was twice editor of the Irish Times, from 1963 to 1974, and later from 1977 to 1986.
- September 21, 2020
Photographers object to 'exploitative' News UK contracts that will leave them 'much worse off'
- September 15, 2020
Politicians say 'avalanche of redundancies and paper closures' in regional media next month if furlough scheme ends
- August 25, 2020
Local journalists go on strike over late payments and looming redundancies
During his first stint as editor, the circulation of the paper increased from 35,000 to 69,500.
Of Northern Ireland Protestant origin, Gageby went south to study at Trinity College Dublin, where he interrupted his law degree during the Second World War to join the Irish Army, serving as a lieutenant in military intelligence.
He began his journalistic career immediately after the war as a reporter and sub-editor on the Irish Press daily newspaper.
He was appointed assistant editor of the newly founded Sunday Press in 1949. Two years later, Gageby became editor-in-chief of the Irish News Agency, which had just been set up by the government of the day. In 1954, he returned to the Irish Press group to become editor of the new evening paper, the Evening Press, which was a resounding success, having on its staff journalists such as Tim Pat Coogan, now a prolific author.
Five years later, Gageby was offered the job of joint managing director of the Irish Times. He retired in 1974 but was recalled to the editorial chair three years later to reverse the slide in the newspaper's circulation.
Even after his second retirement, in 1986, Gageby insisted: "I am still a journalist. I'll die a journalist."
Throughout his life, Gageby avoided the cocktail circuit, saying that too much contact with those in power could inhibit the writing of editorials, which he did almost daily.
Irish Times editor Geraldine Kennedy described Gageby as a "journalistic icon to all of us who knew him". He had, she added, "moulded and shaped the Irish Times and the best of Irish journalism for most of the latter half of the 20th century".
Seamus Dooley, Irish secretary of the NUJ, said: "We in the NUJ are forever in his debt for his strict adherence to the concept of editorial independence.
"His decision to give evidence on behalf of Liz Allen and the Irish Independent in a landmark case concerning the protection of sources was a forthright exposition of the rights of journalists, and he treated the court to an erudite, provocative and at times quite comic thesis on the operation of the Official Secrets Act."
The Irish Times editor who succeeded Gageby, Conor Brady, recalled that over a drink 20 years ago, Gageby had confided to him that when he died, no one would know about it until four days later when his funeral would have taken place.
It was as he wished. He died on 24 June. His death notice and obituary appeared on 28 June.
His funeral was a private family one as he had requested. Gageby is survived by daughters Sally and Susan, a judge of the Irish Supreme Court, and sons John and Patrick, a senior counsel.

TransLink's AA credit rating: what it means for the transportation system
TransLink's two rating agencies – Dominion Bond Rating Service and Moody's – have both just reaffirmed TransLink's credit rating as AA stable.
I know some of your eyes may have glazed over a tiny bit when you read that. But if you're interested in TransLink and how we deliver our transportation services, it's worth understanding why having such good credit ratings is so important.
To explain what the credit rating confirmation means, I chatted with Derek Bacchioni, TransLink's Treasury Manager.
Who are you and what do you do at TransLink?
I'm TransLink's Treasury Manager. I'm primarily responsible for helping manage TransLink's cash flows to make sure TransLink has sufficient cash available to pay its payroll and bills on time. An integral part of managing these cash flows is looking after TransLink's investments and also its short-term and long-term borrowings programs.
Why did TransLink's rating agencies just reaffirm TransLink's credit ratings?
Both DBRS and Moody's undertake an annual review of TransLink's finances. After they finish their review, they produce a report that states their opinion of TransLink's financial health and stability. In general, there are a number of things that support TransLink's positive credit ratings:
- TransLink has diversified revenue sources (e.g. fuel tax, property tax and fares) that are fairly stable and predictable.
- Transit ridership is growing.
- We're considered to have conservative and strong management.
- Rating agencies consider our governance model as a strength, but recognize the challenges it creates.
- Our legislation requires us to prepare a plan and budget each year (e.g. our Base Plan).
- TransLink has conservative financial policies, especially regarding debt management and maintaining minimum reserves and contingencies.
Between their annual reviews our rating agencies also keep an eye on any major developments that could impact TransLink's financial health and stability. If they feel that something has transpired that would change their opinion on our financial situation they could unilaterally decide to change our credit rating either up or down.
Why are credit ratings so important for TransLink?
TransLink borrows money so that we can invest these funds into the assets and infrastructure of the transportation system we operate. Credit ratings are one of the primary ways that both bankers and investors – current and potential – gauge our financial health and stability. Credit ratings help them decide whether or not they are willing to lend or continue to lend money to TransLink and, if so, at what rate of interest.
It would be much more difficult for TransLink to borrow funds if we didn't have a credit rating. Or we would have to borrow at a much higher rate of interest, because our investors would have to do a lot more work to continually monitor TransLink's financial health and stability. Thus, our bankers and investors rely a lot on the independent assessments made by our credit rating agencies.
How much has TransLink raised from investors, and what is it using the money for?
To date TransLink has raised $750 million from longer-term investors. These funds have been primarily invested in buses, SkyTrain vehicles, road and bridge improvements, and many more physical assets and system upgrades which help us provide a safe and reliable transportation system throughout Metro Vancouver.
Thanks, Derek!
As always, please post your comments and questions here, and Derek and I will get you the answers!

I'm curious as to why Translink's borrowing isn't done through the Municipal Finance Authority or the Provincial government – they both have a "AAA" rating which would make the borrowing costs even lower.

Supervisor Jacob Remarks at Board of Supervisors Update on The Alzheimer's Project
March 1, 2016
One year ago, this Board approved a road map for attacking what may be the biggest public health challenge in our region: Alzheimer's disease. This morning, we're going to look at how far we've come – and what comes next
Families all across San Diego County need help. Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia are taking a huge toll on the region, and families can't fight them alone.
That's why we created The Alzheimer's Project in 2014, to bring together our best ideas and brightest minds to end this epidemic.
For the first time, we've got our top researchers, neurologists, eldercare experts, public universities, health care systems and others all working together to find a cure and boost care. Alzheimer's San Diego is playing a key role in all this, along with many generous donors.
I don't believe any other part of the country has done anything like this. Taking on a challenge this big requires a huge commitment and a huge army of participants. Today, we have both.
While we have a lot of work ahead of us, we've started to break new ground.
I'm excited to announce this morning that The Alzheimer's Project has developed the region's first standards for the diagnosis and management of the disease and other forms of dementia.
This is a big breakthrough. Until now, many of our region's 3,500 primary care doctors haven't had clear, consistent standards on what Alzheimer's looks like, and often patients are not properly diagnosed.
With this critical new tool, physicians will be able to identify those with dementia faster and help them get the resources they need. This is great news for families who are worried sick about their loved one.I want to thank those on The Alzheimer's Project Clinical Roundtable who developed these standards. Some physicians at Scripps Health are giving them a trial run.
Nearly all our major health care institutions back this effort, including Kaiser, Scripps Health, UCSD and Sharp Rees-Stealy. There's even talk of developing an app to link doctors to the diagnostic tools.
Dr. Michael Lobatz, a neurologist at Scripps Health, is here to talk about these new standards. He co-chaired the clinical panel with Dr. Nick Yphantides, the County's chief medical officer, who is also with us this morning.
Some of our other successes in the past year:
We strengthened the safety net for those with dementia, through improvements in the region's alert system and the Take Me Home program run by the Sheriff's Department.
We launched a one-of-a-kind research incubator on Torrey Pines Mesa to help pave the way for a cure. This effort is funded by generous donations to Collaboration4Cure, a grant program run by Alzheimer's San Diego.
We teamed up with our largest public universities to boost training for the next generation of geriatric health care workers, thanks to a $2.5 million federal grant awarded to San Diego State University.
I want to thank my colleagues for helping to move many of these initiatives forward. Supervisor Ron Roberts led our efforts last year to beef up the region's Alert San Diego system.
Supervisor Cox is working hard to bring a memory care unit to the Chula Vista Veterans Home. I know helping older veterans is also a priority for Supervisor Horn.
I want to thank those who joined me on The Alzheimer's Project Steering Committee, including Mayor Faulconer, philanthropist Darlene Shiley, Sheriff Bill Gore, Dr. Michael Lobatz and Mary Ball with Alzheimer's San Diego.
It's also been great teaming up with Mayor Kevin Faulconer. I'm pleased to hear he will be coming by shortly to make a few comments.
The 2016 Alzheimer's Project annual report being presented today outlines how far we've come – and the hard work ahead.
We're off to a strong start, but the impact of the epidemic continues to outrun us.
The County today is issuing a separate report that includes updated figures on the growing impact of the disease. At least 62,000 local residents 55 and older have some form of dementia. The report says that number will grow to nearly 100,000 by 2030.
So, if we're going to end this epidemic, we must build on the work of The Alzheimer's Project.
Helping caregivers is a top priority. About eighty percent of those with Alzheimer's are cared for at home – often by a daughter or son.
That sort of caregiving takes a great mental and physical toll, and we need to do all we can to help those family members.
We have started to take steps to boost respite services for caregivers. They need a break. This year, we need to do more.
Other items on our to-do list include launching a public awareness campaign on elder abuse and tapping into GPS technology to reduce wandering – a huge concern among families dealing with Alzheimer's.
Meanwhile, our top local brain researchers are continuing their search for a cure. Eight of them have received grants through Collaboration4Cure for drug development projects.
This morning, we'll hear from leaders of the four legs of The Alzheimer's Project – cure, care, clinical and public awareness and education.

China's 美高梅手机版登录485 Corp. has grown fast over the past decade. Last year, the firm also made waves in North America selling 14 models of handsets there, and became the world's No. 4 phone supplier by units.
Now the company, based in Shenzhen, is looking to move upmarket and expand sales overseas. In particular, 美高梅手机版登录485's management has sights on North America, where the firm aims to broaden its device offerings with smartphones and tablet computers and to land higher-profile network-gear deals.
But the firm's ambitious plans raise new challenges. "We think our [revenue] growth last year was 16%-17%," said 美高梅手机版登录485 Chief Financial Officer Wei Zaisheng. "In the industry, our growth was relatively high…But there were a few situations last year."
The company has run into difficulties with governments in the U.S. and Europe over concerns about ties to the Chinese government and, in India over official security inspections for network equipment from China.
Mr. Wei spoke to Owen Fletcher about the challenges of managing a growing global telecom business. The following interview has been edited.
WSJ: 美高梅手机版登录485's preliminary results said operating revenue last year rose 17%. What drove the revenue growth?
Mr. Wei: Maintaining growth in the Chinese market actually meant our market share expanded. Overseas, the Indian government's security-inspections incident halted our market in India in the first half, but it was restored in the second half. This had some impact on our overseas results. There was also the European Union's antidumping investigation [on certain wireless modems from China] and the U.S. government's interference in cooperation with operators. Without these situations, our growth may have been faster.
WSJ: Have you directly communicated with the U.S. government on its political concerns about 美高梅手机版登录485?
Mr. Wei: As a company we can't directly communicate with a government. Our goal is to sell equipment, we don't have any other thoughts. We hope the U.S. government can be accepting of us. We believe our technology and our service abilities will win the recognition of the major U.S. operators. At least for Sprint last year, we should have had the qualifications to become their key partner. The government should promote a fair, equitable, normal and free commercial environment, and it shouldn't interfere in this.
WSJ: What measures are you taking in the U.S. to address the political issues and expand your business?
Mr. Wei: Right now mainly we hope to provide equipment for local operators, and for instance terminals for the big operators. We are waiting for more opportunities.
WSJ: 美高梅手机版登录485 is known as a low-cost producer. How will a rising yuan-dollar exchange rate affect you?
Mr. Wei: First, I don't accept the view that our prices are lower than our competitors'. Telecom-equipment prices should be at the same level for everyone. It's more your products and service that determine your competitive status. Price is not a competitive factor we are relying on in the global market. The yuan's appreciation will cause your prices to rise. But more important is your status in the market.
WSJ: What types of overseas investments are you considering to help reduce foreign-exchange risk?
Mr. Wei: As one measure in certain key countries we will build local factories. We hope to use the factories to extend the local market. In Brazil, Ethiopia and Venezuela we have mobile-phone factories.
WSJ: Will you build handset factories in Europe?
Mr. Wei: The timing isn't confirmed yet. We certainly must build them.
WSJ: Does 美高梅手机版登录485 hope to sell more own-brand phones?
Mr. Wei: We have a relatively open policy. We can use other brands or go dual-branded between 美高梅手机版登录485 and an operator. Overseas we hope to build 美高梅手机版登录485's brand.
WSJ: Which markets will you focus on first for 美高梅手机版登录485-brand phones?
Mr. Wei: High-end markets, like Europe and the U.S. In the U.S. we already have cooperation with the four big carriers on independently 美高梅手机版登录485-branded terminals, mobile phones. We will increase the force of our investment on "smart" terminals [like smartphones]. Another thing is advancing from the middle and low end to the middle and high end.
WSJ: Will you use Android on all smartphones and tablets?
Mr. Wei: Android will have the leading role.
WSJ: Will you develop your own operating system?
Mr. Wei: We have no need to do that. Android has already become a very mainstream platform. It is competing with Apple.

Iahanna chased him away, and M.J. appreciated it. She was so tired. Since coming to the demon world, she'd either been tired, hungry, wet, hurting or terrified. Or any combination thereof. Now she was confused, as well. "You sleep. When you wake is time enough to decide on the future. It gets here no matter what we do to delay it."
"Sometimes, Iah, I'm convinced you're an old woman."
"Hardly. Thirty-eight, last birthday."
"You Dardaptoans are so weird. Not sure I'll ever figure any of this out."
"I'm still trying. Sleep. I won't let him cause you any trouble. At least not until you are ready."
M.J. thought that sounded like good advice. This time when sleep threatened to take her, she let it.
When she woke Iahanna's cousin Cayri was there next to her, Iahanna was at the foot of the bed, and there was a redhead with corkscrew curls and green eyes peering down at her.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
Damn. They even sounded alike, didn't they?
The other woman looked down at her from green eyes identical to the ones M.J. used to see in the mirror. When she had a mirror. Caves didn't run to such luxuries as mirrors.
"Miranda. Used to be Taniss. Now I guess it's Adrastos."
Miranda. "Wow. You look pretty good for a kid who died twenty-four years ago, little sister."
The green eyes widened. "Excuse me?"
"Guess what? I'm your big sister, and I thought you were dead."
"Really? So you know about Teagan, too, then?"
"Teagan. Three years older than I am. Supposed to have died as a baby. But you never could trust what dear old Dad said. Mom, though…she thought you were dead. And Teagan. And Reagan and Thea and Rhea. We're not all that unique, you know? He kept her caged for more than fifteen years, just making babies for his little games."
"So how do you know all of this?"
"Because he let her keep me. Until he wanted me for his stupid games and Mama told me to run. I ran."
Miranda wrapped her fingers around M.J.'s. "I didn't know how it happened, but I grew up in foster care. I'm sorry for what he did to you. To her. Teagan…Teagan lives in the werewolf world with her be-winged boy-toy and their children."
"Because I was thirteen when I finally got away. Before he could kill me or give me away like he had the rest of you." Thirteen when her mother had told her he'd figured their secret out, had found them again. And when her mother had sacrificed herself so that M.J. could live.
Her sister.
Her sister stared down at her.
M.J. started to shake once it sank in that she wasn't alone in the demon world anymore. Still, she didn't have a clue what to do with this woman next to her. Or if she even wanted to do anything with her, honestly. She'd seen the woman a time or two–they'd inhabited the same general territory, and the girl had always been hunting rocks or something crazy along the river. They'd never spoken before.
She'd been afraid to even consider it. If she had, would it have made much of a difference?
But what was she supposed to do now?
She was no longer human. And she didn't have a clue what that meant.
Or what was about to happen.

Trump Administration's Withdrawal From Global Health Efforts Could Lessen U.S.'s Leadership Role, Threaten Americans' Health
Foreign Policy: Trump Is in a Coma on Public Health
Laurie Garrett, former senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations
"…[T]he U.S. government is increasingly withdrawing from global health efforts writ large. And the world has noticed. The governance of international health is already being organized in a manner less dependent on Americans — and less influenced by Washington. … Some Trump supporters may applaud saving a few million taxpayer dollars by cutting support of global health efforts and believe that other nations can, and should, handle outbreak threats. But America is a safer place precisely because of the depth of experience and wisdom its scientists and public servants have acquired from decades of engagement in health crises overseas. Stepping away from such engagements only signals to the world that the United States no longer cares about the health and survival of non-Americans. Americans should not be surprised if, because of their government's actions, the leaders of global public health organizations start to care less about them" (5/21).
