History Boys one of the most talked about new plays (Australia)Breaking News
''You can see [in the play] the roots of the way we are treated now, as if there is no such thing as objective truth,'' says Hytner, in Sydney for the opening. ''Everything is twisted, everything is presented and spun. It's perfectly plain, the way the [play's] smart young historian, Irwin, twists history, and the way a set of disputed facts can be twisted to take us into a war'' -- he means Iraq -- ''which nobody supported.''
The history boys are sixth-formers at an English school, whose headmaster is force-feeding them for entrance into Oxford and Cambridge. The school's general studies teacher, Hector -- played by Richard Griffiths, Uncle Vernon of Harry Potter fame -- is having none of it. A motorbike-riding eccentric with a fondness for Gracie Fields, he teaches with his heart and regards education as a getting of wisdom, not a getting of a place on the schools league table.
Enter the bright but intellectually slippery Irwin, brought in to give the boys some final polish for the university entrance exams. Not much older than the students themselves, he encourages them to take a contrary view of textbook history and to dazzle the examiners with their independent thought -- even if it means explaining that Hitler was just another politician. Bennett presents the stand-off between these different ideas about the purpose of education -- represented by Hector and Irwin -- with subtlety and wit. The wordplay is exhilarating. The History Boys is a play about teaching, and also about growing up: the boys are almost men, by turns playful and serious, and thoroughly preoccupied with sex.
The National Theatre's production is on a world tour that will include, after Sydney, an extended Broadway run (it is also being made into a film). The touring cast is almost the same as that of the London premiere -- only the actors playing the headmaster (Malcolm Sinclair here) and teacher Mrs Lintott (Maggie Steed) are different. Sydney Theatre Company, which is presenting the show, has reported its highest-ever advance sales for the month-long season.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
September 16, 2014
There's still time to shoot some amazing wildlife photos and submit them to the BC SPCA's sixth annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest. All amateur photographers aged 14 and up are invited to enter the competition by sending their best of B.C. wildlife photographs by Sept. 30. With two categories – Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats – shutter bugs can showcase their skills at capturing the stunning beauty and diversity of animals found throughout British Columbia.
"The images we receive each year take our breath away. They really make it hard for the judges to choose the winning entries," says Dr. Sara Dubois, chief scientific officer for the BC SPCA. "Whether animals in urban settings or isolated locations, we are constantly amazed by the talents of our province's amateur photographers."
Funds raised by the contest directly benefit animals in the care of the BC SPCA's Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where nearly 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are rehabilitated each year. Photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA's Animal Sense and Bark! magazines as well as in BC SPCA educational materials, local newspapers, websites and social media – a testament to the quality of the photos that are submitted.
Prizes are awarded for the top three photos in each categories; photos must be taken within the province and entered digitally.
For more information, email email@example.com or visit spca.bc.ca/wildlife-in-focus.

Is DOM capable of managing two subclasses at once, both extending the same DataObject that is passed to DOM as a $sourceClass param?
For example, I have a DataObject called Box with two subclasses: SwfBox and ImageBox.
I would like to use DOM to add Boxes of both types, one containing SWF files and another one with images, to the same DataObjectSet.
So what I need to have are two separate 'Add new' buttons, each for one subclass, and of course support for two different getCMSFields_forPopup() functions.
Is there any way to achieve this in DOM?
DataObjectManager Module /
Discuss the DataObjectManager module, and the related ImageGallery module.
Moderators: martimiz, UncleCheese, Sean, Ed, biapar, Willr, Ingo, swaiba
Managing two subclasses in one DOM?
Shouldn't be a problem. Is it not working?
Errr... I tried to find any docs about that and failed.
I have a DOM field constructed like this:
$manager = new DataObjectManager(
"Title" => "Title",
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.BoxManager', $manager);
and two subclasses of the class 'Box': SwfBox and ImageBox.
What do I need to change if I want to add SwfBoxes and ImageBoxes in the same instance of DOM?
Oh, no, you can't manage two classes in the same DOM. Has to be two separate instances.
I searching solution for this too. Maybe who have ideas how make this work easly?

32PFL7606H is not visible in Control section
Hi, everyone.
I've installed last MyRemote update and after that I can not see my 32PFL7606H/12 in Control: application searches for TV for couple of minutes (5-7) and then shows no results.
Earlier version worked fine - I saw my TV in Control after 5 secs of waiting or even faster.
Any suggestions on how to make it work?
I have to say that TV is connected to WiFi router using patchcord. Android phone is HTC Hero.
And one more thing is that I've changed router device, so could it affect? My Qnap TS storage with TWONKY is working fine and I can see videos on my TV directly from it and also I can run video on TV from Qnap using MyRemote and SimplyShare on my phone device.

BYD F6 Reviews
BYD F6 2012 Features Overview
The F6 was the second model to join the Chinese BYD range. The midsize sedan is slightly smaller than the class average, even if the derivative styling uses cues from Japanese stalwarts. Powered by a choice of Mitsubishi-designed 2.0-litre or 2.4-litre 4-cylinder engines, both can be had with a 5-speed manual, although the larger engine, which comes with Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable-valve timing technology, can also be mated with an outdated 4-speed automatic with tiptronic function. Available features include an 8-way adjustable driver's seat, tilt-and-telescoping multi-function steering wheel, power windows, electric mirrors and cruise control. Also available are cloth or leather upholstery with wood trim. Safety features include ABS with EBD, dual front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and protective beams in the doors. BYD is only available in some GCC countries, including UAE, Kuwait and Oman.

The 2013 Toyota RAV4, which underwent a major redesign earlier this year, was saddled with a "Poor" rating in the IIHS' "small overlap" front crash test, the lowest designation possible.
Tag: Top Safety Pick
Four 2013 models, the Lexus ES, the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Subaru XV Crosstrek, and the Dodge Dart received the coveted "Top Safety Pick" award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. (Read More…)
The IIHS has released its "Top Safety Picks 2010," and thanks in part to the addition of roof crush tests that exceed federal standards (4x vehicle weight for an "acceptable" score) , a spot of drama has ensued. Not a single Toyota, Lexus or Scion made the list, for example, causing Toyota's Irv Miller to lay into the IIHS [via Jalopnik].
In 2009, Toyota won more IIHS Top Safety Pick (TSP) awards than any other manufacturer. Toyota continues to improve vehicle passive and active safety, including improvement of past winners of IIHS TSP. IIHS' statement that Toyota was shut out for 2010 is extreme and misleading, considering there are 38 Toyota, Lexus and Scion models, and only three were tested for roof strength by IIHS: Camry, RAV4 and Yaris. This is the first year IIHS has included its own roof strength tests, which exceed federal standards, for TSP consideration.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants needed every available player on their roster to stay unbeaten in what turned into a marathon home opener.
Barry Zito, set to make his next start Monday against Pittsburgh, was manager Bruce Bochy's next option to pitch.
San Francisco Giants
Aaron Rowand drove in the winning run with two outs in the 13th inning on an infield single, salvaging the Giants' season debut in their waterfront ballpark and keeping alive their unbeaten start with a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday.
"We're just trying to keep it rolling -- 4-0 is not too bad," Rowand said. "It definitely gives you some momentum, some confidence."
It was the fifth game-ending hit of Rowand's career and scored Juan Uribe, who drew a one-out walk from Kris Medlen (0-1) before stealing second. Uribe went to third on catcher Brian McCann's throwing error, and Rowand brought him home.
Not without some flair for the dramatic: a headfirst dive into first base.
"I have no idea how close I was. I have no idea where the ball was," Rowand said. "All I know is I was safe."
Jeremy Affeldt (2-0) pitched one inning for the win in the longest game in the majors this season and the longest home opener in San Francisco history.
Edgar Renteria hit a tying two-run homer off Braves closer Billy Wagner with one out in the ninth. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox was ejected in the top of the 13th for arguing balls and strikes, the 154th ejection of his career.
"Great game. Quite an opener," Bochy said.
San Francisco rallied from an early 3-0 deficit after a dazzling season debut by Braves starter Tim Hudson. At 4-0, the Giants are off to their best start since winning their first seven games in 2003, their last playoff year.
Both teams missed early chances to end it.
San Francisco closer Brian Wilson pitched a 1-2-3 10th, striking out sensational rookie Jason Heyward to end the inning, before loading the bases in the 11th. Sergio Romo relieved and got Troy Glaus on a flyout.
In the 12th, San Francisco slugger Pablo Sandoval led off with a double and went to third on Andres Torres' sacrifice, but the Giants couldn't convert. Torres was San Francisco's last available position player.
The Giants' last home opener of 13 or more innings was a 14-inning affair won 4-2 by the Boston Braves on April 20, 1917.
Bochy has said all along Renteria deserved a chance to show what he can do healthy. He played in pain all last year and was limited to 124 games in his first season with the Giants, largely because of two aching shoulders and a troublesome right elbow that required surgery late in the season to remove bone chips and spurs.
"When you play a guy like Billy Wagner, he's one of the best relievers in the game," Renteria said. "So I got lucky on that one."
He's 11 for 16 (.388) with three multihit games already this season.
"Thanks, Edgar," Rowand said.
"Edgar's been the man," Mark DeRosa added.
Renteria's one-out single up the middle in the fourth marked the Giants' first baserunner against Hudson, who allowed three hits and two runs, struck out two and didn't walk a batter in an impressive seven-inning, 77-pitch outing on a spectacular, clear day in the Bay Area.
"It was a good game for me," Hudson said. "I felt pretty good I was pounding the strike zone and staying down in the zone with some sinkers and changing speeds. I was just going out there being aggressive, keeping my defense in the game and was able to get pretty deep in the game."
The Braves had a good feeling about Hudson's comeback from Tommy John surgery, giving the hard-throwing right-hander a $28 million, three-year contract in November.
"He's got a new arm," Cox said before the game.
While it was a tough first travel day for the Braves, they didn't play like a team that just flew across the country. They landed in San Francisco early Friday following a home game the previous night against the Cubs, arriving at the hotel a little before 2:30 a.m.
"We play the schedule," Cox said. "Where they tell us to go we go."
Heyward, coming off his first hitless outing Thursday after going 3 for 8 in the opening two games, had four strikeouts and a walk. He hit a monstrous 451-foot, three-run homer on his first major league swing Monday.
- The two new guys in the middle of the Giants' order after Sandoval -- cleanup hitter Aubrey Huff and No. 5 man DeRosa -- went a combined 0 for 7 in their first home game.
- The Braves stranded 14 baserunners to the Giants' two.
- Two-time reigning NL Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum will receive his award before Saturday night's game.
- The Braves were swept in a three-game series at AT&T Park last season and are 12-22 since the ballpark opened in 2000, their worst road winning percentage.
- Jerry Rice threw out the ceremonial first pitch caught by his former 49ers quarterback and fellow Hall of Famer Steve Young. Rice then ran a route and Young tossed the ball to him.

With millions of apps and hundreds of games available on the Google Play Store, it can be hard to find good quality games. For those that have the need for speed, here we'll be sharing 10 of our favorite racing games on Android. These are the best available in 2016.
Playing games on our Android smartphones and tablets is becoming increasingly more popular thanks to a huge selection. Not to mention big HD displays and powerful processors inside devices like the Galaxy S7 or Google Pixel. Racing games are extremely popular but it can be hard to find the good ones.
Read: 10 Best First Person Shooter Games for Android
Whether you're looking for ultra realistic racing, casual arcade fun, or want to be flying through water with turbo boosts and more, we have it all covered. Here we highlight some of the better looking games available. These are fun, free, or at least worth spending your hard earned money on. While you're at it, take a look at these 95 best Android apps and games.
Over the past year or two Android games have improved by leaps and bounds, and are getting better with each release. Not to mention Android 7.0 Nougat and its new Vulcan gaming API promises to deliver a whole new level of quality.
The games detailed below will keep you busy for hours, and on the edge of your seat. We're starting with Asphalt 8: Airborne, as it's still my favorite all-around game on Android. Well, unless you consider Clash of Clans. Then take a peek at the slideshow below for nine other great games that made our list.
As we said above, there are hundreds and hundreds of games available from the Google Play Store. And while some are decent, many of them are poor copies of others and not worth the time it'll take to download. So instead of wasting time and data, or your money, check out this list of some of the most popular racing games available on Android right now. Many are from 2015, but more are coming soon.
Asphalt 8: Airborne
Our first pick and still my favorite racing game to date comes from Gameloft, who has now released over eight versions of their flagship racing game for Android. Asphalt 8: Airborne does away with all the simulator realism and goes for high speeds, octane boosters, and flying down realistic streets with natural lighting, shadows, and reflections all while trying to get the most air as possible going over jumps and taking shortcuts. All of this is done while having some of the best graphics on a mobile device.
Asphalt 8 delivers realistic crashes and extensive vehicle damage, it has both arcade and multiplayer modes, and the career mode will have you build up a reputation, and earn additional cars for the garage. This has been my favorite game since its release, and Asphalt 7 is still a close second. It's my go-to mobile game to show off how far mobile gaming has come, and will continue to be one of my favorites that is on every tablet or smartphone I own.
There is no Asphalt 9 yet, but instead you can try Asphalt Overdrive, which is more of an endless racer. It isn't quite as fun, but still worth consideration. We're hoping for an Asphalt 9 in 2017.
Those with an older device that can't play Asphalt 8, download Asphalt Nitro. It's made for budget devices. Another good option is a game called City Racer.
Asphalt Xtreme was just released in November, and is the same racing game we all love, taken to the dirt. It's Asphalt Off-Road essentially, and loads of fun. Not to mention some of the best graphics around. Download it now.

Ah, it's that time of year again, Pet Health Insurance Month. (What, did you think I was excited for - back to school and all things pumpkin spice?) It's a time when us pet insurance geeks are allowed to be a little extra giddy about things like diminishing deductibles and multiple pet discounts. I mean, sure, here at Embrace HQ we're passionate about pet insurance 365 days a year. But Pet Health Insurance Month is when we get to let our fiscal freak flags fly, if you will.
We're pulling out all the stops to celebrate too. This month we'll hear from Dr. Rex Riggs about how pet insurance prevents financial euthanasia in his practice. I'll have exciting details about our new and improved age guidelines. We'll also take a look at some common misconceptions about what pet insurance is and how it works.

I'm so happy to announce that Embrace is partnering with Dr Marty Becker, also known as America's Veterinarian, to spread the word far and wide about Embrace's affordable and effective pet insurance to prevent economic euthanasia when cats and dogs get sick.
We've had a lot of excellent press coverage at Embrace lately. Some of the good coverage because of our recent change in ownership, and some of it just because.
Our recent change in ownership is our most exciting update since we changed our underwriter to American Modern Insurance Group ® a year ago.
Before I get into details of the transaction, the bottom line is that:
As for details, there's a great Plain Dealer article on the transaction "Embrace Pet Insurance Finds Success Keeping Tails Wagging". A private investor with deep experience in the insurance world, Beauvest (US), acquired all the shares of Embrace except for those belonging to me (Laura Bennett) and Alex Krooglik (we're the co-founders). Once that was complete, five of the original investors bought back in, indicating their continued confidence in Embrace and Alex and me (which was very much appreciated by all of us.)
Let's talk about pet insurance!
Many of you know, I am the Chairperson of the Board of the North American Pet Health Insurance Association (NAPHIA) where our goal is to increase awareness and trust of pet health insurance across North America. Pet insurance has been around for over 30 years in the US but less than 1% of cats and dogs are insured. Compare this to over 25% insured in the UK and you'll understand our goal more clearly.
When I announced the Embrace Pet Insurance move to our new underwriter, American Modern, I promised to tell you about our new diminishing deductible feature, also known as the Healthy Pet DeductibleTM.
If it sounds familiar, it's probably because you have seen quite a few TV ads from several large auto insurers with their own versions of the deductible reducing every year of claims-free driving. The Embrace Healthy Pet Deductible is very similar - if you go a year without any claims paid out for your pet, your next year's annual deductible reduces by $50 and so on every year, until you reach a $0 deductible.
As of today, Embrace is selling American Modern Insurance Group ® pet insurance policies in 38 states (see the list on the Embrace's Underwriter page). We are in the process of rolling out all 51 jurisdictions we work in, so if your state isn't on the list, it will be very soon.
Why are we changing insurance underwriters?
The usual thing that comes to mind when you hear a company changing underwriters is that something has gone amiss with the partnership between the pet insurance program and the underwriter; however, in the case of Embrace Pet Insurance leaving RLI, quite the opposite is true.
It's hard to believe that 999 posts ago, I wrote the first Embrace blog post called "What am I trying to do?" on April 28, 2005. As an entrepreneur, I have no time to look years ahead in the future but I must admit, years ahead, it is certainly darn satisfying to look back.
Just to backtrack, the Embrace blog came about as follows.
Alex Krooglik and I (Laura Bennett) were part of the team that won the 2003 Wharton Business Plan Competition with a pet insurance idea (I know! Who'd have thunk it). Once we graduated, we decided that pet insurance is what we wanted to do with our lives and thus Embrace Pet Insurance was born in July 2003. Several years went by (raising money is a cinch compared to finding an insurance partnership) and we sold our first policy in October 2006. Things keep getting better ever since.
As a company obsessed with our relationship with our Embraced pet parents, we have been going through a painful experience over the last few months as we work to improve our claims process.
To put it plainly, the time it takes to process an Embrace claim has been far too long and in many cases well over the 15 business days we promise our pet parents. This is not like Embrace; not like us at all.
In the spirit of openness and honesty, I thought I'd go over how this happened and what we are doing about it so everyone is in the loop. This is not about excuses (because in the end, it's just not good enough; there are no excuses long enough for that), I'm just presenting the situation as it happened and what you can expect going forward.
Did you know that that spending on pets in 2011 topped $50 billion for the first time? That's a lot of dog collars, don't you think!
Actually, we spend on everything from pet accessories and food to veterinary care and services such as boarding and pet sitting. To put $50 billion in perspective, the pet industry tops the book publishing ($31 billion) and women's clothing ($41 billion) industries by a healthy margin.

A new report reveals Seal couldn't handle his wife's success!
What really led to the destruction of Heidi Klum and Seal's marriage? That's the question on everyone's mind, and according to a new report from Us Weekly, the green-eyed monster is to blame! Many of their biggest blow-ups came as a result of his jealousy over her ever-expanding career. A source tells the mag he would yell at her "for doing so much press and saying that she needed to calm down, and [asking] why does she need to be in the spotlight all the time?"
Both Heidi and Seal take their careers very seriously, and friends on both sides are presenting conflicting stories about just how much their jobs fractured their family life.
"She doesn't miss a dance class or a karate lesson," a friend of Heidi's tells Us, while someone on Seal's side claims Heidi is the one who works too much, leaving Seal at home with their four children — Leni, 7, Henry, 6, Johan, 5, and Lou, 2.
Regardless of the "why" behind their split, the couple has been showing signs of stress, even at public outings.
"They didn't speak to each other the entire time — for at least 45 minutes," an eyewitness said of Heidi and Seal's family lunch Dec. 26 at Bumps eatery in Aspen. "You could tell there was a lot of tension between them."

Wake up residents!
Who's to blame
Who's to blame if your neighbor's mentally ill son broke into their garage and took the Corvette that his mother owned, the same car she'd used to teach him to drive, which the media had scorned due to numerous deaths in the past involving Corvettes? What if he ran down his own mom, killing her as he left the driveway, sped into a school zone clearly posted with "no speeding" signs, crashing into a bus carrying 20 children and six teachers leaving on a field trip? What if the bus blew up killing all inside?
Would you blame the "Corvette Owners of America" (COA) car club, even though the driver of the car wasn't even a member of the COA? Would you call the COA a "terrorist organization," because the COA must have known that mentally ill people will obtain and drive Corvettes? Would you demand that the COA do something to prevent it from ever happening again...casting blame on all members of the COA, who've never even sped in their Corvettes, never had a ticket, never been in a crash, but always drive and care for their Corvettes in a safe manner?
Would you treat them as if they were the ones who drove the Corvette into the bus full of children, demand that their rights to own a Corvette be taken away, even cast blame on those who own cars resembling Corvettes? Would you demand that no one ever be able to buy a Corvette again? Would you cast your blame on people who drive any car, just because you take the bus and you don't think anyone "needs" a car? Would you demand that more "no speeding" signs be placed everywhere, because surely that will stop it from ever happening again?
Anyone get the message??
Please support our Second Amendment!
Christine Olson
Wake up residents!
I am sorry to inform the residents in our township that the two elected officials — Dan Wells and Marge Cotton and the third official Jeff Hartman — being handpicked because of a resignation — decided to ignore the overwhelming no vote that was taken on June 9, 2012, to repair 12 miles of road on 10 roads for a total of $3.5 million dollar tax levy. We have 32 and a half miles of township roads. Our tax levy for 2012 and 2013 is $230,000 for each year which was set high to keep our roads in shape. Another special meeting was set for Aug. 30, 2012. About 80 residents came to be informed that the roadwork plans were proceeding as planned which was voted on by the "three board members." To say the least, our residents were fuming at this meeting. Oct. 15, 2012, another meeting was called to order with 52 residents present. This was about an $850,000 tax levy to do one mile of road work on three separate roads. I asked for a vote from the residents. Marge Cotton informed me the "three board members" voted for us. We, Marge Cotton says, gave the board members the authority to make the final decisions for the residents.
People — there are seven more roads on "their to-do list" at a remaining cost of about $2,600,000 more of a tax levy to us. On Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. they will do the final paper work on this $850,000 tax levy. Vote Marge Cotton and Jeff Hartman out of office on March 12 because of the remaining road work plans for yet another tax levy hike. Dan Wells' term will expire next year and he voted for the tax levy also. Vote in people that will listen to the residents they represent.
Vote for Rick Hennes and Dan Block.

thanks again
ok cheers. I'll have a look tonight.
thanks again
Right I borrowed a multimeter off a mate n had a good look last night. The dimmer switch is working fine, there's a voltage across it. I expected this anyway coz I just replaced it the other day. I reckon its something to do with a dodgy ground somewhere, and looking at the wiring diagrams it looked like 'X18170' which has all the dash backlights and fag lighter/window buttons backlights on, and connects underneath the centre console near the handbrake with another ground 'X494'. Had it all off last night n tested it – its fine. So now I'm giving up and got it booked in with an auto sparky for Saturday. At least I can tell him where I know the problem isn't, so hopefully he'll find it quicker and charge me less labour.
Thanks for your efforts gildersol, they are much appreciated.
Did you get this fixed?
Unfortunately not. Still investigating. Can you assist?
Have you tried all the stuff on this thread?
Hi again. Not got any wiring diagrams and I don't intend to strip the interior to find the problem. If it's not easily fixed. i.e. a fuse or a simple earth connection I will take it to a garage. I did wonder how the chap that had the same problem resolved it when he took to the auto electrician. Thanks for your interest.
The fault was 2 wires under the centre console near the ashtray being trapped, wearing bare and shorting the circuit. So when I replaced the headlight switch, as soon as I turned the key it ruined that one too.
Replaced the worn wires, fitted new switch and now it all works.
One word of warning though, I was quoted £10 at best and £65 at worst for 2nd-hand switches from different scrappers. Bought a brand new one from the dealers in the end though, for £29! So I dunno where that tosspiece got the £65 price tag for a used one from. Just watch out yeah. People will rip you off if you're not careful.
Boz...Thanks for coming back with your solution, as Craig Wood looks to have very similar
Craig Wood... If your number plate lights are working ok then it won't be the fuse.
It could be a faulty light/dimmer switch. It would seem unlikely that you would have the same wires trapped as Boz but it may be worth checking.
All the backlights don't use the same earth so if they're all not working it probably isn't that.
Thanks for all the advice. I will have a look today.
hi there i am new on here hope ya all good.
i also have this problem with my bmw 316i saloon 1997, my instrumental lights dont work i have checked every fuse,i replaced the dimmer switch and head light swicht and still nothing lights up. If i open the doors when the head lights are on the the buzzer goes off to say the lights are on. i have recently changed the engine and the lights worked fine before that not sure why they dont now tho. would appriciate any help thanks

"Operation Lotus was carried out in the state as Congress and JD(S) were luring BJP MLAs to dethrone my Government. That's why it was initiated by BJP," said Yeddyurappa and also claimed that his main focus would be "kalyana Karnataka (welfare of Karnataka)."
"I will complete five years and in the remaining two years my focus and thrust will be to ensure education to all the people in rural areas and ensure wholesome development of the state without discrimination," asserted Yeddyurappa.
However, the Karnataka CM retained his support to Bellary brothers as he claimed, "I will await the Supreme Court verdict on illegal mining before initiating any action against them (Reddy brothers)."
Recently, BJP has landed in a fresh controversy over the induction of Reddy brothers in Karnataka assembly. The heat of state politics touched the party high command when Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley have been engaged in a war of words on Bellary brothers who are accused of illegal mining in the state.

We're all familiar with forecasts. There's not much to be done if you've planned your Sunday picnic when it's set to rain. All that's left is hoping, often in vain, that rain will turn into shine. Let's flip this idea of looking into the future on its head. Instead of forecasting what is likely to happen, how about backcasting? If we know where we want to be, we can work backwards and plan how to get there!
Tackling climate change and enabling sustainable development dominated global negotiations last year. Successfully addressing these interconnected, mutually dependent challenges is essential, via the development of national long-term strategies for sustainable development and decarbonisation.
So let's put backcasting into practice: we first need to know where we want to be. In Paris, countries agreed to pursue efforts to limiting global warming to 1.5ºC. To achieve this, a global phasing out of fossil fuels and phasing in of 100% renewable energy will be required by 2050, if not well before. By working back from 2050 to now, we can plan our path to get there individually and collectively, ensuring that we have time to change tracks if needed. The development of national long-term strategies for sustainable development and decarbonisation will provide us essential guidance on the impact of our current policy-making decisions., It is likely to show that achieving our long-term goals will require taking urgent action now. The more we raise our ambition in the short-term, the less steep emissions curbs will need to be in the future. See the logic?
For governments, backcasting through ambitious long-term strategies represents a significant opportunity to assess and plan for how their development needs and priorities fit. Furthermore, the resulting policies are likely to provide several co-benefits, while also contributing to countries' fulfilment of both the aims of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of the 17 SDGs. Long-term planning will avoid locking in high carbon infrastructure and send a strong signal to the private sector, creating a positive policy framework for businesses to make informed decisions for shifting financial flows to climate-friendly investments.
Recent discussions at the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development show that political momentum is building in the recognition of the need to address these challenges synergistically. The Paris Agreement requires long-term strategies to be delivered by 2020, but several countries have indicated they will deliver sooner than this. Between now and the facilitative dialogue at COP24 in 2018, there is a real opportunity to ramp up global ambition on climate change.

In December 2015, the G20, as part of the 196 Parties to the UNFCCC, committed to a historic global agreement to address climate change and pursue efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, so as to mitigate the harmful effects on the world's people, biodiversity and the global environment.
According to the IPCC, the global carbon budget consistent with a 66% chance of limiting the temperature rise to 1.5ºC will be used up by 2021 if we carry on under current projections. For any fair likelihood of meeting the Paris temperature targets, our collective mitigation efforts need to be multiplied as soon as possible. Otherwise, our countries and economies will face severe impacts of unstoppable climate change, including social, environmental and economic instability. In recent years, we have seen the G20 countries take more serious notice of the role that climate change plays on its overall objectives, in particular its objective to promote financial stability. G20 leadership on climate change is extremely important since the greenhouse gas emissions of the G20 member countries account for approximately 81% of total global emissions. It is therefore imperative that the G20 countries start collaborating immediately on the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using their influence, to develop a consensus-building approach and focus on financial stability to drive stronger action on climate change.
Climate Action Network has eight key demands for the G20:

Before the SBSTA agriculture workshops, ECO wants to remind Parties that nearly 800 million people are chronically hungry. With over 75% of the world's poor people living in rural areas and primarily reliant on agriculture, this issue needs to be higher up in the food chain of importance.
Commitments made under the new Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Decade on Nutrition, and the Paris Agreement all call for moving beyond the narrow considerations of yield. Producing more food alone will not end hunger in a changing climate: poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation are all drivers of food insecurity and vulnerability. Ensuring future food security requires agricultural strategies encapsulating environmental and socio-economic dimensions – livelihoods, land rights, animal welfare, fair and equal access to resources, decision-making and climate information, culture, and biodiversity protection.
The planned workshops must address the needs and contribution of small-scale food producers,who generate 80% of food in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Women play a dominant role, but lack equal access to critical resources, rendering them more vulnerable to climate change impacts. The workshops need to address the UNFCCC's role in ensuring these populations can access the support they need.
Agroecological approaches not only improves soil health and water carrying capacity, but also empowers food producers, increases access to decision-making, and prioritises local knowledge. The FAO Director-General believes that agroecology is important as it will "help to address the challenge of ending hunger and malnutrition in all its forms, in the context of the climate change adaptation needed."
Parties should use this week to identify the UNFCCC's role in more clearly articulating appropriate approaches and guidelines for effective action, and also identify gaps in knowledge, action, and support.
The workshops must enable meaningful civil society participation, recognising experience and expertise on the ground. Ending hunger and tackling climate change will require action and learning by all, and civil society is a critical partner in these efforts.

ECO hears rumours that Parties have discussed the possibility of having a Technical Examination Process (TEP) on adaptation, and we'd be delighted if this was true. After all, there are more gaps in these negotiations than even ECO can keep track of, from gigatonnes to dollars. Adaptation appears to be one of the victims of process, and seemingly never has its time to shine. Finance for adaptation remains grossly insufficient, and more action is needed to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems.
An adaptation TEP might just be the match made in heaven to ensure that there is both a technical conversation with concrete recommendations and political commitment, which would in turn increase adaptation actions. It's high time to kickstart action on the ground.
However, while Workstream 2 can be a great vehicle to get adaptation off the ground, it needs to be done in earnest. An adaptation TEP has a lot to offer to vulnerable people by engaging experts and catalysing action. But it must not become a topic that slows down the good pace of WS2 that has been evident this past week. Nor can it become a delaying tactic for the remaining thorny bits, including the many pivotal mitigation elements.
Even with the prospect of happy union between TEP and adaptation on the table, these precious elements should not fall by the wayside. Parties need to stay engaged with the issues at hand: accelerating the implementation of mitigation in the pre-2020 period, appointing high-level champions, and ensuring the necessary support is provided. Only after we've locked down these essential elements of WS2 should we export other possibilities.

ECO is truly enthusiastic about the global sustainable development agenda: "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" which received a standing ovation when adopted last month in New York.
ECO strongly urges negotiators to support the proposal currently captured in preambular paragraph 33 of section III, which references the post-2015 agenda, to ensure alignment of the climate and development processes.
Here is why: Agenda 2030 includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals. One specifically urges action on climate change and its impacts when fighting global poverty, inequality and injustice. But, fret not about your role in the bigger picture, Agenda 2030 also says that the UNFCCC is the primary intergovernmental forum for negotiating a global response to climate change.
Although these two processes have different starting points, they both recognise the need to eradicate poverty. Agenda 2030 is the first UN document of its kind that tells us to look at development and climate together. It reminds us that the choices we make today when tackling hunger, improving energy access or building infrastructure will affect mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Agenda 2030 calls for these goals to be achieved while keeping the global average temperature increase below 1.5°C or 2°C. It asks all UN member states to work collectively through the UNFCCC towards an ambitious legal outcome, applicable to all Parties and following the CBDR principle.
Both processes must deliver in a coordinated and coherent manner. The Paris agreement should welcome Agenda 2030's mitigation and adaptation targets, and acknowledge the important role that Agenda 2030 will play in climate outcomes. Turkey already supported the idea on Monday; ECO hopes that others will follow suit.

ECO congratulates governments on the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This not only provides positive momentum towards Paris but, also sends a strong message about the necessity of adopting an integrated approach to sustainable development.
The Paris outcomes should build on this momentum and promote the effective integration of human rights and gender equality into climate action. Such integration would provide three crucial benefits.
Firstly, it would ensure that climate policies contribute to the protection of the rights of local communities. Particularly those most vulnerable and do not exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities.
Secondly, it would strengthen the effectiveness of climate action, by ensuring that policies and projects benefit from local and traditional knowledge, by providing broader public support for such action, and by removing legal uncertainties. Empirical evidence demonstrates that rights-based climate policies are more effective, resilient and have a lasting impact.
Thirdly, it would contribute to the implementation of the Post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
Today's negotiations on Section C offers Parties the opportunity to ensure that the core Paris legal agreement explicitly emphasises the necessity for climate policies to integrate human rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples, and to ensure food security, gender equality and a just transition. This would send a very strong signal that governments remain committed to a transition towards low-carbon and resilient communities that leaves no one behind.

August 3 - New York: The world has updated its to do list to drive solutions to our biggest problems - poverty, inequality and climate change - after the new Global Sustainable Development agenda was finalised in New York on Sunday in preparation for ratification by world leaders at a major UN summit in September. The agenda, which includes a landmark set of 17 goals, acknowledges for the first time that countries need to address climate change as a developmental challenge, decoupling growth from environmental degradation. Governments will need to raise their ambition to start delivering on these goals by producing a universal and legally binding Paris agreement on climate this December to shift to a low-carbon economy.
For the first time, these global goals acknowledge that the world can't deal with these crises in isolation, said David Nussbaum, Chief Executive of WWF-UK. "We can – in our generation – stamp out extreme poverty and achieve sustainable development. But with climate impacts already hitting the most vulnerable people hardest, it's clear that we will not meet these global goals unless we take decisive action on climate change, get an ambitious and universal climate agreement with legal force in Paris and manage to address the existing emissions gap – as rightly acknowledged by the post-2015 summit outcome document agreed at the UN in New York yesterday." Nussbaum said. "That's why we welcome the newly minted post-2015 sustainable development framework, which features climate action as a headline goal, as well as it running through many other goals like a green thread. The new framework recognises that addressing climate change and eradicating poverty are profoundly connected."
"Many countries will need to drastically alter policies in favour of people and planet if they take this new to do list for the planet seriously. To tackle poverty and dangerous climate change, we must urgently end the fossil fuel era and deliver 100% renewable energy for all" said Daniel Mittler, political director of Greenpeace International. "These goals will mean nothing unless governments at the Paris climate summit complete the task and agree to phase out fossil fuels and switch to 100% renewable energy for all by 2050."
The Sustainable Development Agenda has laid the groundwork for such a signal, according to Wael Hmaidan, director of Climate Action Network International. "In New York, this week governments have failed to acknowledge the need to have 'a world free from harmful emissions', which is needed to address the climate challenge, but there was a strong recognition that there is a need to follow more ambitious emission reduction pathways to stay below 2 or 1.5 degrees temperature rise. Beyond these temperatures economic development will become severely hampered."
Neil Thorns, director of advocacy at CAFOD, welcomed the progress that these new goals represent in relation to the MDGs understanding of our shared responsibility to care for our common home. "Pope Francis' powerful statements recently have reminded us that we must stand in solidarity with the poorest people and the environment, and that we must phase out fossil fuels in favour of renewable energy to do this. The goals alone are not a solution to our world's problems but a stepping stone we need to build on in the climate talks in Paris and through meaningful implementation of these goals over the next 15 years. This is our responsibility for present and future generations."

Mark Webber calls out Singapore GP stewards on Twitter
The Australian ace digs out 20-year-old photo.
Mark Webber used Twitter to call out Derek Warwick, one of the stewards in Singapore who handed him an official reprimand for hitching a ride back to the pits on
Fernando Alonso's Ferrari, with a picture of a steward getting a similar ride from Gerhard Berger in 1993.
Both Webber and Alonso, who are close friends off the track, were reprimanded after the race in Singapore. Webber, whose engine exploded on the last lap, for stepping
onto the track without permission from a marshal and Alonso for stopping to pick up the Aussie in the middle of the track.
While the stewards' hands are bound by regulations, which call for an automatic 10-position grid penalty after 3 reprimands (the Grosjean rule,
I guess), the ruling has been extremely unpopular with fans, many of whom have grown tired of Sebastian Vettel's domination of the championship and
who feel that common sense should have prevailed over what was fundamentally a sporting gesture.

I was charged a deposit equal to the rent, I had to take out cancellation insurance which cost me 45 €, and worst of all I got to Paris and did not even know where I had to pick up the keys and I caught the phone and had no at the offices of them, so I had to go to a hotel that day, after the apartment was above a piano bar had loud music until 4am they knew when he was traveling with a girl 2 years In short, I have embittered the trip to Paris, I am now in the process of complaint with them, so I do not recommend this company what it is though Windu her name appears, is called "A Paris Comme Chez Soi
me cobraron una fianza igual a el alquiler, tuve que hacerme un seguro de cancelación que me costo 45€, y lo peor de todo es que llegué a parís y no sabia ni donde tenia que recoger las llaves ni me cogían el teléfono ni había nadie en las oficinas de ellos, por lo que me tuve que ir a un hotel ese dia, después el apartamento estaba encima de un piano bar que tenia la música a tope hasta las 4 de la mañana sabiendo ellos que viajaba con una niña de 2 años, en resumen, me han amargado el viaje a Paris, ahora estoy en proceso de denuncia con ellos, asi que no recomiendo esta empresa que es lo que es aunque en windu aparezca el nombre de ella, se llama " A Paris comme chez soi
Everything in the apartment worked perfectly, it is exactly as it is in the pictures. Very close to many great places to eat, the metro/RER, grocery stores, shops, and most major attractions are walking distance
The only complaint is also a plus. The apartment is right in the middle of everything, but it can be noisy later at night (especially weekend) and mid morning with tour groups going by. It did not bother me, but I could see how a light sleeper might have a problem with it.
Marvelous apartment, the landlady Diane is extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything worked smoothly.
Highly recommended
We rested a large company - 3 family of 4 people in each. Very fortunate that the 3 apartments are located in the same building. Very beautiful apartment, match the photos on the website, it is fully equipped.
Great place, the center! In walking distance - attractions, a large number of restaurants with delicious and very affordable price, shopping, subway, taxi and city loker - in our case it was very convenient option.
Мы отдыхали большой компанией - 3 семьи по 4 человека в каждой. Очень повезло, что 3 апартамента находились в одном доме. Очень красивые апартаменты, соответствуют фотографиям на сайте, полностью оборудованы.
Прекрасное место, центр! В шаговой доступности - достопримечательности, большое кол-во ресторанов с вкусной и очень демократичной ценой, шопинг, метро, стоянка такси и city loker - в нашем случае было очень удобным вариантом.
The flat was pleasantly decorated and clean. Good location, just by Notre Dame and Boulevard St Michel, and this is a very good asset of course. Unfortunately a very noisy musical bar underneath in the street played loud music until the early hours in the morning. Three of the rings in the cooker did not work from the very beginning of our stay, and the handbook instructions about this particular appliance were not too precise, so we had to work out how to operate the only working ring, it took a while. We indicated this to the agency, but the cooker was not repaired during our stay. The coffee machine did not work from the very beginning of our stay, but it was replaced a couple of days after we arrived. The area is full of restaurants of all types and prices. For us a good point was bookshops nearby, and walking distance from the Centre Pompidou library. The flat was well furnished with plates and pots. The shower cubicle is rather comfortable in size, and the main bed is big and provided with a comfortable mattress. The heating system was efficient. There is a big television set. Wifi internet worked only sporadically for the first half of our stay, but it was fine in the last few days. All in all, we had a pleasant stay despite the problems indicated here.
recommendable !
The apartment is in a great spot and is spotlessly clean. Although not see employees of the company until the last day, the call is implecable.
I recommend it without any hesitation!
El apartamento está en un sitio magnífico y está SÚPER limpio. A pesar de que no ves a los empleados de la empresa hasta el último día, la atención telefónica es implecable.
Lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda!
The apartment is simple but simpático.Ainda did not send the receipt.
O apartamento é simples mas é simpático.Ainda não enviaram o recibo.
Although we did not experience personally Diane, we can ensure that our family stay in this apartment was wonderful. This is the first time we rented an apartment abroad and everything went well: we grab the keys easily, everything is shown organized. The apartment is great, close to everything, a bit noisy at night, it's true, but it is worth it. It is in excellent condition, clean. Access to the building is a bit twisted but eventually used to.
100% recommended.
To retain the City Locker service, offered by Wimdu. It is simple, convenient and cheap. We can leave the business in the instructions without drawbacks.
Quoiqu'on n'ait pas connu Diane personnellement, on peut assurer que notre séjour en famille dans cet appartement a été formidable. C'est la première fois qu'on loue un appartement à l'étranger et tout s'est très bien passé: on récupère les clés facilement, tout est indiqué, organisé. L'appartement est super bien placé, près de tout, un peu bruyant la nuit, c'est vrai, mais il vaut la peine. Il est dans un excellent état, bien propre. L'accès au bâtiment est un peu tordu mais on s'habitue finalement.
100% recommandable.
A retenir le service de City Locker, offert par Wimdu. Il est simple, pratique et pas cher. On peut laisser des affaires dans les consignes sans inconvénients.
nice apartment, with an excellent location. It was fully equipment and an adorable furnitures. No noisy, even been in the latin district, but no views and weak wifi. To summ up, we recommend the apartment.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

So far off-Broadway, it's Adelaide
Page Tools
Adelaide Cabaret Festival artistic director Julia Holt, front, with The Fabulous Singlettes, performing this year.
Photo: David Mariuz
For two weeks in June, life will be just a cabaret in Adelaide. By Penelope Debelle.
Five years ago, the inaugural Adelaide Cabaret Festival struggled to lure international artists to an unproven genre event in an off-Broadway Australian city in mid-winter. This year, artistic director Julia Holt says she could have filled the 2005 international program three times over.
The festival, unique in Australia, is devoted to acts defined by their intimacy rather than their style. Performances are small and often feature artists in different performances and settings across the two-week June event. International artists - like this year's headline act, chanteuse and French film star Jane Birkin, who appeared in the iconic tribute to the Swinging Sixties, Blow Up - are coming because they are attracted by the promise of audience intimacy.
"It took a while to convince people of what we were doing but I think with any of these things the best way is just doing it and demonstrating what the possibilities can be," says Holt. "Now I am just inundated with people from overseas who want to get involved."
Holt says the festival challenged artists to approach their work in a new way, like songwriter Paul Kelly who will perform a biographical anthology of his songs, Paul Kelly A to Z, at this year's show. Kelly who will start with a tribute to his hometown, Adelaide, will play 20 songs a night over five nights, in alphabetical order.
Each year the festival acknowledges the American roots of cabaret by dedicating a section to an American composer. This year's selection, Andrew Lippa, is in his early 30s and is an awarded lyricist, composer and performer who will perform works from two musicals, John and Jen and The Wild Party, which won the best off-Broadway musical award in 2000. And he is looking forward to it, says Holt. "He's completely over-excited about it because he's had feedback from others who have been here who have told him about the experience," she says. "It's one thing about who you put together but you also have this fantastic facility - the Adelaide Festival Centre and the Festival Theatre - a highly skilled crew and a very critical but very warm audience."
The owner of the sassiest three-octave voice on Broadway, Ann Hampton Callaway who sings the theme from TV's The Nanny, will do two exclusive Australian premieres, including a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, and a Master Class on musical arrangements.
But the biggest and sexiest coup for this year will be Jane Birkin singing a tribute to her former lover, the inimitable Serge Gainsbourg who died in 1991. A superstar in France for three decades, Birkin released her first English-language album in 1997. Her name was already known, from her appearance in Blow Up (wearing lime-green tights and nothing else) and her 1969 duet with Gainsbourg - a former lover also of Brigitte Bardot - Je taime... moi non plus, which was considered so sexual it was almost banned.
"We were talking about her last year and we just went, 'oh, she'd never come', and one of the promoters said, 'I'll just ring her up and ask her,' and she did," Holt says. "It turned out she has always wanted to come Australia so she is going to do one night here, one night in Sydney and one night in Melbourne."

from June 10-25.

Workplace Emissions
To view the small business training power point on how to reduce carbon emissions, click here.
In June, members of Meridians industrial business sector attended a Town Hall meeting on strategies for reducing emissions.
Increasing ozone issues that escalate in the summer months have had both Ada and Canyon County close to being classified as an area of non-attainment by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A non-attainment classification by the EPA brings strict federal regulations and guidelines and that can last upwards of twenty years. These regulations could greatly affect business valley wide and proposed guidelines could potentially impact the economic development and growth of Meridian.
To further the City of Meridian's commitment to its citizens and businesses The City has included a copy of the presentation in the link at the top of this page. In addition please use the following web resources to educate yourself and others in industry.

We are now on the Island of Koh Phi Phi (Ko pi pi) and everything is going well. After a few days spent on islands which weren't too interesting we are glad to finally be in a nice place. It is basically a tropical paradise with warm waters, fish, little restaurants and great weather.
Today was our first real day of enjoying this place and we spent the afternoon tanning on the beach, swimming a little, and going around the bay in a little kayak boat. It might be hard to believe, but we haven't been able to get good rest during many of the days of the trip and it's nice to finally have this chance.
We will probably stay on this island until the end of the trip which is coming up shortly now.
I hope all of you are doing well!
