Conventional and Fuzzy Regression: Theory and Applications aims to present both conventional and fuzzy regression analyses from theoretical aspects followed by application examples.
The present book contains eight chapters originating from different scientific fields: River Engineering, Ecohydraulics, Telecommunications, Urban Planning, Transportation Planning, Hydrology, Soil Mechanics and Ecology.
The first chapter deals with both crisp (conventional) linear or nonlinear regression and fuzzy linear or nonlinear regression. The application example refers to the relationship between sediment transport rates on the one hand and stream discharge and rainfall intensity on the other hand. In the examined case, the data of both categories are insufficient, and furthermore, the phenomenon is characterized by high complexity and uncertainties.
The second chapter refers to the crisp linear or nonlinear regression of six heavy metals between different soft tissues and shells of Telescopium telescopium and its habitat surface sediments.
The third chapter describes the crisp linear, multiple linear, nonlinear and Gaussian process regressions. The main application paradigms include the prediction in wireless systems, the predictive analytics in Internet of Things (IoT) based systems, and coding theory focused on extrinsic information scaling in turbo codes.
The fourth chapter is confronted with a classic regression model, named Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which constitutes a spatial statistics method. The application example of this chapter concerns the housing value, i.e., a spatial phenomenon that is expressed as a function of housing characteristics.
The fifth chapter regards fuzzy linear regression based on symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. The main application of this regression consists of the analysis and forecast of rail passenger demand between two nearby cities. The dependent variable concerns the rail passengers and the independent variables are the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, the cost of transport by rail and the road transport fuel prices.
The sixth chapter treats fuzzy linear regression based on trapezoidal membership functions. In concrete terms, three possible models with trapezoidal fuzzy parameters are described. The main application of this chapter concerns the dependence of rainfall records between neighboring rainfall stations for a small sample of data.
The seventh chapter refers to the multivariable crisp and fuzzy linear regression. In the application paradigm, the dependent variable is the strength of fiber reinforced soils, while the independent variables are pertinent to soil, fiber and laboratory tests.
The eighth chapter deals with the fuzzy linear regression, with crisp input data and fuzzy output data. In the application example, a relation between the levels of chlorophyll-a in an artificial lake and water temperature, nitrate, total phosphorus and Secchi depth is established.
All the above chapters offer a proper foundation of either widely used or new techniques upon regression. Among the new techniques, several innovated fuzzy regression based methodologies are developed for real problems, and useful conclusions are drawn.
Keywords: Conventional (crisp) regression; fuzzy regression; engineering applications.
This book was written for Young researchers and postgraduate students of sciences and engineering

Ciara and Russell Wilson made a mutual vow to remain celibate (probably because of Ciara's failed relationship with Future).
However, the admirable couple who appear to be so perfect have revealed that it's been quite a struggle keeping the celibacy vow.
Speaking on Loose Talks, the "Like a Boy" singer admits that it isn't always easy to follow through as they live each day trying to keep the romance going while abstaining sexually.
Russell who met Ciara through a mutual friend last spring also revealed that although God urged him to take the abstinence pledge, it has not been easy keeping up.
These two sure sound like a match made in heaven to us, what do you think guys?

Hey guys,
So a few weeks ago, I was going through my emails and I stumbled on an Invite to a Store Re-Launch. It turned out that the email was sent from Clinique and then the scales fell off my eyes. I blinked at my screen and wondered why on God's green earth I didn't get notified when the email came in – 6 DAYS AGO! – I hurriedly replied the sender, apologizing for my delayed response and as my Angels would have it, the Clinique Team responded and confirmed that the store re-launch was still a good one week away. I was beyond elated. It's not everyday in my still budding blogging career that I get invited to a store re-launch by a brand that has been in existence since I was a kid.
The day of the Store Re-Launch came and I was ready. I made sure to clear my schedule, kept my morning routine pretty basic, had my standard bowl of oatmeal (post workout), played with my dog and then got ready. If you were unaware, the #CliniqueNigeria store is located on the ground floor of Jabi Lake Mall, right in-front of the center court. (You know the wide round space that connects both extremes of the mall…yup! That's it).
I located the store, stepped in and was instantly transported to another world. The store was perfectly lit and all I could see were rows and rows of colorful Clinique products. I was soon greeted by the very lovely Kirsty Gourlay who is the Product Manager in South Africa, along with other sales executives. Just as their invite said, I was treated to glasses of lovely champagne (perfect for that time of day) and was pampered and spoilt like only Clinique knows how.
Just before I left, I was given a goodie bag *cheering* and was also handed a box of their yet to be released Moisture Surge 72 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator. (Now this was where the VIP treatment began). The Moisture surge is due to launch in Nigeria in August and I was given the opportunity to try out the pot of Magic before it hits the stores. As you guessed already, I will share more information about the Moisture Surge in my next post and will fill you in with all the juicy details you need to know about it.
Thank you to the Clinique Nigeria team for officially welcoming me to the Clinique family and for inviting me to the store re-launch. Keep your eyes peeled for the next post and I'll see you then.

One of the interesting turns in a conversation I have with people about our church happens when they ask me the name of our church. I reply Cross Cultured Church. Most people just assume the name must be Cross Cultural Church. Those who get the name ask me what it means. I take the time to explain that we are church which is made up of people from different backgrounds and cultures. We have one uniting factor – Jesus. Hence the only culture we hold dear is the culture that stems out because of the cross. That is why we are called Cross Cultured Church.
But really why Cross Cultured Church in Mysore? Mysore is a growing city attracting a lot of young urban professionals from all around India. Many churches that existed in Mysore till around 2005 were bilingual churches. The few churches that were catering to the English speakers of the area catered well to the residents of Mysore. However, there was a new people group in Mysore that was un-reached and probably misunderstood – the yuppies. This burden resulted in the planting of Cross Cultured Church. By the grace of God, many of the older churches in Mysore realized the need and have been used by God (some to much greater extent than us) in reaching out to the yuppies.
Cross Cultured Church desires to reach out to the people of living and working out of Mysore. We want to see Christ enjoyed and exalted in the lives of people in Mysore. This is our vision for the city. We long to see a transformation of the people in this city. We stand together with the other churches in Mysore to see this vision fulfilled.
If you are moving in to Mysore or visiting the city we would love to have you join us as we worship God.
Many times we have noticed that people who visit us find their experience worshiping God with us different from the experience they have with their home church. And they do not know what to do about it. We at Cross Cultured Church love the body of Christ. And if you are looking for another kind of church (denomination, worship style or location in the city) we will be willing to help you. So drop in let us serve you and make your experience a memorable one.
Sharing is caring!

To Jon, A Poet
Jonathan, you understand,
That guided by your writing hand,
Your head discovers distant land;
So sail.
Take your ship across an ocean,
Where no man's compass guides you;
Beach upon the golden sand,
Flowing from your writing hand;
And no one's there besides you.
Whatever you can put on paper
Of your voyage through your mind,
Tell us what you'd hoped to find,
And what you found
Upon the ground:
Roses growing in the sand,

The biggest lunch-time favorites in the Fenway High School cafeteria were not even on the menu. Dozens of Boston students swarmed two chefs — rare figures in a land of lunch ladies — who were giving out samples of vegetables that finicky students tend to disdain: broccoli and kale.
The remarkable sight of teenagers scarfing down such healthy fare came down to preparation. The chefs sneaked the kale into a chicken and cheese quesadilla, and they oven-roasted fresh broccoli, then mixed it with parmesan and raw garlic.
In a novel experiment this fall, Fenway High has transformed its cafeteria into a test kitchen, teaming up with the nonprofit Project Bread to create new entrees that can be reproduced at cafeterias across the city.
The goal is to introduce healthy dishes that students will actually eat, while also staying on budget. It is a tall order for a school system that spends less than $1 per serving on each lunch entree and yet has been racking up millions of dollars in losses, leaving little room to spend more on food.
"It's not enough to have healthy food," said Ellen Parker, executive director of Project Bread, a statewide antihunger organization based in Boston. "We need to have healthy food that tastes good so kids will eat it . . . . This is a big step ahead for Fenway High and the entire system."
Whether kids are eating healthy meals they like might seem tangential in an age of high-stakes testing, urban violence, and playground bullying. But a growing body of research has revealed a link between nutrition and achievement, and schools today are the main source of food each day for millions of students nationwide.
Boston's test kitchen could inspire other districts to rethink school food. But as often occurs in public education with large-scale initiatives, the experiment may be doomed by the cost. The trick, supporters say, is to get more students to eat the food. That would increase the per-student federal reimbursements for school-lunch participation and help to steer the city's school-food program into the black.
School officials contend that if the project proves successful, they will be able to serve up more lunches with few increases in overhead costs. About 73 percent of Boston students participate in the school lunch program and all students, regardless of income, can eat breakfast and lunch for free under a federal initiative for districts with high levels of low-income students.
So far, early results from Fenway High look promising. Students often asked for seconds at the taste testings and now the Fenway High menu features nine of the 18 tested food items, including the parmesan-garlic broccoli and the chicken quesadilla. This month, Project Bread chefs started teaching the recipes to cooks from other schools.
But Boston is severely constrained on how many schools can serve fresh meals. About two-thirds of the city's 125 schools lack full-service kitchens, preventing cooking from scratch. Instead, these schools — many of them built decades ago when students went home for lunch or brought food to school — rely on frozen entrees trucked in from a food-production facility on Long Island, N.Y., and then warmed up in convection ovens.
The entrees, which are packaged in black trays, feature sweet and sour chicken, macaroni and cheese, and other fare. Many parents and students have held up the frozen meals as glaring deficiencies in the lunch program.
But school officials stress the nutritional value of the frozen lunches is comparable to freshly prepared meals, noting both conform to federal nutritional standards.
For elementary schools, lunches must contain between 550 and 650 calories and no more than 640 milligrams of sodium. At high schools, the guidelines are between 750 and 850 calories and no more than 740 milligrams of sodium. In all cases, less than 10 percent of calories can come from saturated fats.
The food wars
In a state where Brookline High School features sushi and Cambridge serves up student-grown produce, the steps taken by Fenway High and Project Bread might seem modest.
But large urban systems nationwide — hampered by high labor costs and schools without kitchens — are struggling to overhaul their programs to comply with five-year-old changes in federal standards for school lunches. The changes, pushed by Michelle Obama, call for whole grains, more fresh produce, and reducing sodium levels, among other measures.
The requirements have shed light on a big problem: Many urban districts, in order to cook healthy, need to spend an average of $87,743 for walk-in refrigerators, ovens, or other appliances at each school, according to a February report by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
"Many districts don't have an equipment-replacement program," said Jessica Donze Black, director of the Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, a collaboration between Pew and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "If something is broken they change the menu."
Some large districts are aggressively forging ahead with upgrades.
Minneapolis is spending more than $100 million to build dozens of kitchens. The district already has installed salad bars in most schools, a move Boston has resisted, insisting it is too expensive.
"The community really rallied behind us," said Bertrand Weber, director of culinary and nutrition services for Minneapolis schools. "Because of that support it really rose as a priority for the school district to shift money in the capital renewal plan to build new kitchens and dining rooms."
Even Detroit, which only emerged from bankruptcy a year ago, has pursued innovation, opening a two-acre farm that grows produce for school meals.
"I definitely think people are seeing lunch as a critical need for students to focus and succeed rather than just being an interruption in their day," said Jennifer LeBarre, executive director for nutritional services at Oakland, Calif., schools, which is planning to build a new central kitchen with a one-acre teaching farm. "It used to be there was never a connection made between school lunch and why it was needed and why it was important."
Research has changed that view. A 2003 study, for instance, found that kindergartners from homes struggling to put food on the table "not only score lower at the beginning of the year but also learn less over the course of the school year" than students from other households. The study, published in Contemporary Economic Policy, examined more than 21,000 students in a thousand US schools.
The correlations come down to common sense, researchers and educators say. Students are more focused when they are well fed instead of being distracted by growling bellies or struggling with fatigue because of poor nutrition.
Many students at Fenway High put it another way: A bad lunch can wreck the entire afternoon.
"I'll throw the food out and I'll have attitude all day," said Janae Beauliere, 16, a sophomore. "I'll just not want to do anything."
But she adds, "When the food is good, I'm all sunshine.''
It is not known how many Boston students might be experiencing hunger. But the number could be significant, according to state data on students who are "economically disadvantaged," a formula based on families receiving food stamps, Medicaid, or other welfare benefits. Nearly half of Boston students fall into this category.
Boston Superintendent Tommy Chang has made turning around the system's food service program a top priority, said Barbara Deane-Williams, deputy superintendent of operations.
"We know students who are healthy, well-fed, and exercise bring that higher level of energy into the classroom," Deane-Williams said.
Innovation has been stymied by the food service program's nearly decade-long financial losses — as high as $4 million annually — that have led to cost-cutting measures that have riled parents.
The school system receives $3.19 in state and federal reimbursements for each lunch sold — a high amount based on the large percentage of low-income students Boston schools serves. More than half of that money covers labor and other overhead costs, leaving just $1.44 for the food.
After factoring in the cost of fruit, a vegetable, and milk, the school system has only 77 cents to spend on the protein and grain portions.
While food costs are a challenge, the financial woes run much deeper for Boston's school-food program. A report commissioned last year by the school system also attributed Boston's losses to poor inventory tracking and a "lack of organizational will to address structural issues."
The Fenway renegades
The Fenway High experiment is dramatically different than the school's original proposal last fall: It wanted to secede from the food service program and create its own menu, hire its own kitchen staff, and order its own food.
But in a series of meetings with school district officials that persisted into the summer, discussion evolved into the broader experiment to use Fenway High to revolutionize cafeteria menus citywide.
Fenway High offers an ideal environment for a test kitchen, school officials say. This fall, it relocated from its longtime digs near Fenway Park to a refurbished school building in Mission Hill, which boasts a new full-service cafeteria.
"We want to get kids thinking more about what is healthy eating and that it is not just eating carrots," said Peggy Kemp, the school's headmaster.
The partnership represents a reunion of sorts. Project Bread started its chef-in-schools program in 2007 at two Boston middle schools and later worked with a few other city schools. This latest endeavor is far more ambitious, affecting cuisine across the system.
"We can't afford to put a chef in every school — that is not cost-effective — but we can share the knowledge," said Scott Richardson, director of research and strategic initiatives for Project Bread.
Project Bread has built a track record of getting students to eat healthier. Harvard University's School of Public Health, in examining the nonprofit's efforts in two districts outside Boston, found last year that students ate three-quarters of a cup more vegetables a week, twice as much as before the program brought in chefs. Project Bread assisted with the research.
Passing recipes
Inside a cramped office in Fenway High's kitchen, Richardson chronicles the experiment on his laptop using bar graphs breaking down student surveys on the taste testings. One afternoon, he proudly pointed to results for a chicken quesadilla: 75 percent rated it awesome and 23 percent good.
But then he pulled up lackluster results for chicken teriyaki — 29 percent deemed it awesome, 40 percent good, and 24 percent "just OK" — and declared that the recipe needed more work. A prime student complaint was not enough salt.
Getting kids to eat healthy often means breaking them of bad habits. The big ones: liking too much salt and snubbing their veggies. Project Bread has discovered ethnic dishes, with their mixture of spices, tend to entice picky eaters.
The program shies away from using posters or other advertising to promote healthy eating, believing instead that students gain more insight by talking with the chefs during taste tests.
The food samples often garnered immediate praise.
"Who made this?" Yira Genesis, an 11th-grader, asked as she held up a half-eaten chicken quesadilla. "That is the bomb!"
She high-fived chef Gaitskell Cleghorn Jr. "It was a collective effort," he said.
The quesadilla, Genesis said, is like the Spanish food she eats at home.
Will Kadzis, 17, said the food is actually better than what he eats at home.
"I mostly eat sandwiches at home," he said. "Sometimes I cook stuff in the microwave — pizza rolls, mac and cheese, leftovers."
Project Bread has had to make trade-offs to stay on budget as it aims to replicate the recipes across the system, replacing such items as fresh chicken and broccoli with frozen varieties — a move that also reduces preparation time.
Some of the new recipes may even wind up in students' homes. About a dozen parents showed up at Fenway High one drizzly Thursday evening for a cooking demonstration.
Beliza Moriarty brought her two sons in hopes of enticing them to try the food.
"They won't eat the school lunch," she said. "I make their lunch every day."
Ezekiel, an 11th-grader, said he skips the lunch line because of long lines and potentially small portions. But he and his brother liked the Caribbean braised chicken, going for seconds. Their mom let out a big sigh of relief and said: "Yes!"

At the time of the formal adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950, there existed a unified structure of courts and laws, which were left undisturbed, as their removal or modification would have signified the upheaval of the entire judicial structure. Disputes of all citizens were settled through a well-defined and recognised system of litigation. The courts have formal rules for settlement of disputes and their decision is binding on the parties, but is subject to appeal to the higher court. The system is highly technical and formal, and the judge controls the proceedings as well as the outcome of the litigation. However, litigation does not always lead to satisfactory results as it is expensive, in terms of both time and money. Moreover, in most cases, the litigants do not achieve satisfactory compensation and continue fighting in further appeals. This leads to the development of an adversarial attitude between the litigants which provide impetus for even more appeals in higher courts. These are some of the reasons why an alternative approach to resolve disputes between litigants was considered to be of vital importance.
In this regard, the constitutional provision of Article 39A, added by the 42nd Amendment[1], reads,
"The State shall secure that the operation of the legal system promotes justice, on a basis of equal opportunity, and shall, in particular, provide free legal aid, by suitable legislation or schemes or in any other way, to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities."
Delays in litigation can give rise to several issues. It can become costly, both in terms of time and money, for individuals as well as collectively for the society. Such delay leads to deterioration of evidence as well as delay in awarding of compensation to litigants when they most need it. This also leads to society at large losing faith in the formal judicial system and therefore individuals are deterred from bringing their cases.
Moreover, the Supreme Court of India recognized the "right to speedy trial" as being implicit in one's right to life and personal liberty in the case of Hussainara Khatoon v. State of Bihar[2]. The facts of the case dealt with under-trial prisoners in Bihar, some of whom had been imprisoned as under-trials for terms longer than the maximum punishable imprisonment period under the law. It primarily dealt with three constitutional provisions: Equality before law, Right to life and personal liberty and free legal aid.
Lok Adalats are one of the components of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) systems in India. For petitioners in civil disputes, Lok Adalats emerged as supplementary forums to formal law courts. With the availability of such a provision, the justice dispensing system of India was impelled into a new era. The institution of Lok Adalat is based on the principle of justice and mutual compromise. It is not a substitute to the judicial court system, but complimentary to the same as it reduces the burden on the court, provides inexpensive and speedy justice and creates awareness amongst common citizens regarding their rights and duties
The first Lok Adalat was held on March of 1982 in Junagarh in Gujarat. The development of the Legal Services Authorities Act[3] gave statutory status to Lok Adalats, in conformance with the constitutional mandate in Article 39A. It contains various provisions for settlement of disputes through Lok Adalat. The primary aim of Lok Adalats is to reach an amicable agreement between the two parties of the dispute. It is essential that the solution reached by the Lok Adalat should be acceptable to both the parties to the dispute. Cases relating to claims for compensation in motor accidents, compensation for land acquisition cases, family disputes, intellectual property rights disputes and compoundable criminal cases are now being resolved through arbitration, conciliation, mediation and/or negotiation.
Section 19 provides that every state authority, district authority, High Court Legal Services Committee or the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee may organise Lok Adalats to obtain quicker and cheaper settlement of pending cases. It is a system established by the government to provide social justice to people through conciliation, negotiation, and compromise. It is presided over by a retired judge accompanied by two other members, preferably a lawyer and a social worker. The Lok Adalat does not require any court fees. Under Section 21, binding force is given to the awards granted by the Lok Adalats, without offering an appeals procedure.
With time, Lok Adalats proliferated throughout the country and assisted immensely in relieving the burden that was put on the formal judicial system. The emergence of such a system also provided relief to the litigants as they could now get their disputes resolved in a quicker manner and also control the outcome of their disputes as in most cases, there is no involvement of a third party pleading the case. Both the victim and the convict can speak with the judge directly and resolve the dispute through established ADR techniques.
In 2002, the Parliament passed an amendment[4] to institutionalize Lok Adalats by making them a permanent body to settle the disputes related to public utility services. The Central or State Authorities may, by notification, establish Permanent Lok Adalats, to settle issues in connection to Public Utility Services.
However there are some implicit disadvantages as well. Even though disputes are resolved faster and justice is served quickly, often the litigants have to settle for lower amounts in compensation as petitioners are unable to claim higher amounts. Therefore it is imperative for the institution of Lok Adalats to be careful about not impairing the rights of any individual at the cost of speedy justice. Moreover, not all cases are suitable for settlement under Lok Adalats. Only civil disputes can be resolved on such a platform. There are also issues of understaffing and lack of resources. There is also the issue of finality of the judgement. Once both parties consent to resolve their dispute through the institution of Lok Adalat, they cannot back out and the final decision becomes binding on both parties and cannot be challenged further under Lok Adalats. There is an element of mutual compromise involved in the decision-making process of Lok Adalats. Therefore, if a party is not willing to compromise sufficiently, it becomes impossible to resolve the dispute and the matter has to be referred to a formal court.
Therefore, there is need for implementation of reforms within the functioning of Lok Adalats; and for the same purpose we would like to offer some suggestions. First, an influx of funds and staff will assist in the efficient functioning of Lok Adalats. This will improve the number of cases settled in the institution as more resources will be available for the smooth functioning of the same. Second, India is a vast country with varied customs and traditions. Therefore it is vital for such things to be taken into consideration while settling disputes, without which the resolution in certain cases will not be accepted by the parties to the dispute. More specialists such as social workers, as well as community leaders must be involved in the justice dispensing process so that decisions are arrived at considering the prevalent customs and local culture of the region. Third, the citizens need to be informed better about the alternative dispute resolution possibilities within the country, so that they can make a choice to settle their civil disputes in a cost effective manner using negotiation, mediation and conciliation; instead of further burdening the courts.
The concept of Lok Adalats or "Peoples' Court" has roots in Indian legal history. It was developed based on the practice of Nyaya Panchayats, which function as a system of alternate dispute resolution in rural India. Nyaya Panchayat is based on the principle of natural justice. Lok Adalats have now become one of the most important and efficient ADR mechanisms, well suited for the Indian environment, culture and societal interests.

Formed in 1944, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is an international organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., consisting of 189 countries working to "foster global monetary cooperation, secure financial stability, facilitate international trade, promote high employment and sustainable economic growth, and reduce poverty around the world."
There's some hints on where the IMF leaders stand. While there hasn't been any blatant anti-cryptocurrency statements, they have described crypto as "shaking up" the banking industry.
IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde recently warned "We don't want innovation that would shake the system so much, that we lose the stability that is needed."

The 35th edition of European Heritage Days in France was a special time for 12 million citizens across the country who gathered to share their collective passion for heritage.
Marking the European Year of Cultural Heritage common theme "The Art of Sharing," an astounding 24000 events took place at close to 16,000 heritage sites, 1,900 of which were open to the public for the first time. The outstanding list of activities demonstrating the rich and diverse cultural heritage of France included numerous exhibitions, guided tours, lectures, workshops, games, and free visits to some of the most significant cultural institutions.
The Minister of Culture greeted the visitors to the Palais-Royal, one of the most popular sites that hosted up to 10,000 people throughout the weekend. After opening the doors of her office to the public, she accompanied the President of the Republic to Villa Viardot in Bougival. Identified as one of the 18 endangered sites to receive support from the Heritage Lotto, the Villa was a symbolic setting for this event.
For the second year in a row, one of the most popular sites among visitors was the Élysée Palace. Around 20,000 visitors were in for a treat at the President's official residence with the President himself being the special guide for the occasion. Each visitor had the opportunity to explore the palace while listening to the audio guide recorded by Emmanuel Macron himself.

Marking the beginning of the 35th European Heritage Days celebrations, a special, heritage edition of the lotto draw was organized on Friday, 14 September. As a part of the Mission Bern, the profit raised from 2.5 million participants was dedicated to the restoration of buildings labeled "heritage in danger". The mission was entrusted by the President of the Republic to Stéphane Bern.
During European Heritage Days, citizens were able to visit 10 of 18 remarkable heritage sites in need of restoration. The impressive Roman aqueduct of Gier in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the 1304 Hôtel-Dieu of Castle-Thierry in Aisne, and Theatre des Bleus de Bar in Meuse are only some of the 'emblematic' sites that were offering free admissions on 15 and 16 September.
The first edition of The Children of Heritage programme had its premiere as a part of Friday events. With nearly 23,000 students from 900 classes taking part, the joint project of the National Federation of Architecture, Urbanism and Environment Councils (CAUE) and the Ministry of Culture had a great turnout.
Moreover, the Ministry of Culture welcomed 230 high school students from Île-de-France and invited them to visit exhibitions and participate in workshops dedicated to unique archaeological, heritage, historical and ethnology practices. This year's celebrations also inspired a special edition of children's magazine "My everyday life." The daily paper listed the most interesting programme guide for its most avid readers - the 10 to 14-year-olds.

The more adventurous and adrenaline-seeking heritage enthusiasts were having the best time at the heritage escape games offered at some of the most fascinating, mystery-inspired castles, museums, and warehouses across the country. Throughout the weekend, the mansion of Montmorin, the castle of Pau in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the castle of Montmaur in the Hautes-Alpes were some of the hosts to thousands of fun and learning family experiences.
Following the trends from previous years, the 35th edition of European Heritage Days in France ended in a great success. Once again, the united efforts of authorities, organisations, groups, and individuals created an exceptional heritage experience for a large number of national and international guests. Thousands of historical, cultural and natural sites of France came to life in order to demonstrate the unique value of the common heritage and shared values.

See Happn on the i OS App Store | See Happn on the Google Play Store If you find dating a bit awkward to begin with (don't we all? It's £10 per month and takes a fun approach to dating, letting you pick matches based on the date idea they've come up with, which could be anything from ping pong at Bounce or a Boris Bike through Hyde Park followed by craft beer tasting. Most dating apps and sites match people by what they like, using shared interests to suggest compatible partners. You go through the app picking out things you hate - Trump, slow walkers, paying extra for guacamole - and are paired with people who share your hates, so you'll immediately have something to talk about.
It's i OS-only for now, but you can sign up to find out when the Android version arrives.
Fast forward to the present day and online dating is one of the most popular ways of meeting new people, with millions of people using dating apps and websites every day.
See Tinder in the i OS App Store | See Tinder in the Google Play Store Bumble is a lot like Tinder in that it's an app-only dating service that's based first and foremost on looks, but it does have some key differences that set it apart and might make it more appealing to you.
As a Christian dating site we believe that marriage is a sacred covenant between man and woman, ordained by God as part of His divine plan for each of us. God says in Genesis : "It isn't good for man to be alone; I will make a companion for him, a helper suited to his needs." God himself brings people together according to his timetable.
Sometimes it feels like his plans are limiting us, and sometimes it's not easy to wait for God's timing.
Many Christians are hesitant to write a personals ad, since they want to wait for God's guidance. After all, choosing your spouse is a choice for life. The monks used to say "ora et labora" — pray and work.
We strongly believe dating sites are being used by God to bring Christian singles together.

London Cocktail Week kicks off today with a packed schedule of booze-fuelled parties and masterclasses, plus £5 cocktails at hundreds of top cocktail bars. If you're not sure where to start, we've picked three of the best drinks to try, plus some of the best events and places to eat nearby.
The Chargrilled Buck at Hawksmoor Spitalfields Bar
You can pick up your wristband at the London Cocktail Week village – a maze of bespoke bars, drinks trucks, and pop-ups in Spitalfields Market. Then head to Hawksmoor Spitalfields Bar for a Chargrilled Buck made with Chivas 12 year old whisky, charred pineapple syrup, lime, cardamom bitters, and ginger ale. Stick around for steaks upstairs or return to Spitalfields for dinner at Blixen or Wright Brothers.
The Butter & Mint Drop at Aqua Nueva
Aqua Nueva is serving a seriously decadent mix of Tanqueray Ten washed with butter fat, homemade tiramisu syrup, and mint soda. You can watch the sun set over Soho from their roof terrace and then walk to Kingly Court for dinner and drinks at Senor Ceviche, The Rum Kitchen, or Cinnamon Soho. Round out the evening at the World Class Bar at the LCW hub on Poland Street where you'll find the Tanqueray Art Deco Bar, the Ketel One Vodka Kitchen, and more!
The Shrub and Shutter at … The Shrub and Shutter
After shaking up a French Martini at the Chambord pop-up at Sovereign Loss, stroll over to The Shrub and Shutter for their LCW cocktail made with El Dorado rum, Chartreuse, maraschino, lime, fennel sugar and cucumber shrub. Their food is fantastic so you can stick around for dinner or keep the crawl going and grab a bite to eat at Nanban, MasterChef winner Tim Anderson's new izakaya and ramen shop.
You can follow @LDNCocktailWeek for drinkspiration on twitter, and if you need restaurant recs along the way, tweet our experts at @OpenTableUK or download our app.

2004 Renault Wind
Renault will unveil its new concept car Wind at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show in March. This two plus one roadster with a streamlined design and lively performance combines both flowing and structured lines. The interior is elegant in accordance with a 'Touch Design' concept, boasting a cabin that seems to be cloaked in leather. The controls put the emphasis on ergonomics and simplicity.
The Wind roadster is fitted with a 136bhp 2.0 16V petrol engine producing 191Nm of torque. The compact dimensions contribute to the lightweight of the vehicle at 850 kgs, which in turn provides nimble handling and dynamic performance. 0-62mph takes 8.5 seconds.
Wind's profile gives an impression of simplicity and consistency. It is made up of two defining lines. The first runs along the side of the car, curving into the front and rear wings and sweeping round the wheel arches. The second line, even more apparent, envelops the cabin and underscores the impression of protectiveness.
The powerful headlamps also contribute to Wind's appeal. They extend along the bonnet, highlighting the car's dynamism with a streamlined, elongated shape and take their inspiration from previous concept cars like Vel Satis and Talisman. Despite their simple looks, the headlamps conceal complex technology. A powerful jet of blue-tinted light flows through a long transparent tube stretching across vertical glass covers.
The almond-shaped rear lamps continue the body silhouette with their sharp edge. Two powerful LEDs light up parallel glass covers, creating striking beams of light to the sides and rear.
The arc of the panoramic windscreen extends around the sides of the car with a curve that incorporates the side windows. The cabin can be covered with a triple thickness fabric roof including a rounded rear glass window that continues the oval theme.
The cabin is moulded around the driver and passengers. A large sheet of Sienna-coloured leather forms an enveloping cocoon. The pleated leather seats, Tobacco in colour, are elegant and comfortable. They are fixed, in tune with the roadster spirit, while the steering wheel and pedal assemblies are adjustable and fold away automatically when the door is opened for easier access. Two folding leather-covered rollhoops form an extension of the rigid structure to which they are fitted.
Wind is a 2+1 roadster. The central section linking the backs of the two front seats is made of carbon fibre covered in foam and leather. It can be unhooked and turned inside out, forming a saddle shape that provides a third seat in the rear of the car. Despite its compact size (3.87 metres long and only 10cm longer than a Clio), Wind is extremely roomy. The boot, lined with embossed leather, offers reasonable luggage space (232 litres).
All the vehicle's controls feature an anodised aluminium finish for a muted look. In accordance with the 'Touch Design' concept developed by Renault over the past three years, they put the emphasis on ergonomics, simplicity and clarity. A circular, centrally mounted control panel provides access to each set of functions for communications, music, navigation and services by means of a button in the middle of the circle. Data is displayed on a screen at the top of the dashboard.
The gearbox mode selector is also in the centre of the dashboard. Gear shifting takes place using paddles on the steering wheel through a Quickshift 6 speed manual gearbox with automatic clutch.
The design of the speedometer-cum-rev. counter dial is both simple and sophisticated. With an anodised aluminium surround, it is cut into a glass cylinder. Data is displayed in both analogue (a needle indicating speed) and digital form. Patches of blue followed by red move around the cylinder as the engine speed increases.
In the driver's door of the vehicle, a push-button cylinder incorporating the air conditioning controls swings out to display the temperature in the cabin.

Tangerina Torta, another new "Around The World" Strawberry Shortcake friend for 2006-2007, is a real nature girl. She lives in a tree-house in the Tangerine Bosque, a lush tropical rain forest, presumably in the Strawberry Shortcake version of South America, though no country name has been given. Tangerina has a pet monkey called Banana Bongo. Oddly, a similar monkey (with the same name) was a companion of Coco Calypso on the Seaberry Shore nearly a year prior to the introduction of Tangerina Torta and HER Banana Bongo.

Post subject: MSgt Shawn Richardson returns home
Pinecam Hall of Fame poster!
Joined: Sep 23, 2002 5:57 pm

Location: Between Hither and Yon
This was sent to me by a fellow Pinecammer:
FLIGHT DEPARTMENT HOTLINE December 18, 2006 This is Captain Bob Johnson with the Flight Department Hotline for Monday, December 18.
In lieu of our normal weekly recap, I want to share with you a letter we received from FO Gary Blied, written after completing his duties on American Airlines flight #1904, ORD to MIA, on December 3. This is Gary's letter
"We were informed at the gate that the remains of MSgt Shawn Richardson would shortly be loaded on our flight for the trip to Miami. He was a 17 year veteran of the United States Air Force and had been killed in the service of our country. I went down onto the ramp and found the long box appropriately stationed off to the side in a luggage cart. The curtains on the cart were pulled. I spent a few moments in prayer with him.
"The Captain and I finished our preflight duties and then went down onto the ramp, checked in with the crew chiefs to observe the loading of MSgt. Richardson. We departed almost an hour late due to our late arrival into Chicago.
"We called for push and it was immediately granted. Normally, there's a wait. We called ground for taxi and again - immediately granted. Normally, there's a wait. We were cleared onto the runway and for an immediate take off. Passing through about twenty five thousand feet, we were further cleared direct OMN (Ormand Beach) which is the first fix on the arrival into Miami. That's basically a thousand mile straight line and the most direct clearance I've ever received to Miami. Not a word was ever said - but people were watching out for us.
"The flight to and landing in Miami were uneventful, until we went to turn off the runway. The tower asked us to proceed a little further down where an escort was waiting for us. We did as instructed and a Miami Dade Police cruiser met us on the taxiway. He escorted our American Airlines Boeing 757 to the D terminal. The entire north ramp had been cleared of all aircraft.
"As we approached the ramp we noticed the lights. There were at least a half dozen fire trucks, no less than 15 police cars and countless other vehicles. They were all parked in rows with their lights flashing. As we taxied our aircraft to the gate, the fire trucks saluted our arrival with crossed streams of water shooting over the aircraft.
"We parked the aircraft and shut down. After our checklists, Captain Jeff Wallace and I went down to the ramp level and observed the unpacking of the casket, then the dressing with a flag. It was accepted by the honor guard, which was comprised of members of the Miami Dade Police Department, and Air Force Honor Guard.
"After the "present arms" order (when all military and former military render salutes and civilians put their hands over their hearts) and the "order arms" order, when the salutes were finished, I noticed our jet. As I looked up from the ramp level, I saw a face in every window. Not one of our passengers had moved until our fallen solider had departed the aircraft.
"When the procession left the airport, there were two cruisers in front of the hearse and I have no idea how many behind. It was worthy of a presidential motorcade and a fitting and probably all too uncommon show of love and respect for one of our fallen.
"And in case I haven't mentioned this previously - it was 1:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning and I would bet that most of the people on our ramp were not on the clock.
"Every now and then you see it: the silent majority that makes this country the best in the world. I was so proud that night. Proud that my fellow citizens on every level worked to get MSgt. Richardson to his final repose. Proud of all the people who showed up on the ramp early that Saturday morning to show their respect. Proud of our passengers that they recognized a greater purpose than getting off the jet. And proud that my company, American Airlines knows how to handle this situation with humility and honor.
"As you go through your day, remember that there are thousands of men and women overseas in the service of our country, far from home and in danger's way. Please remember that they have families back here who live every day in fear of the phone call or visit with the news that their worst nightmare has come true.
"Be thankful for their efforts and if you know someone who is in the service - get their address from their family and write them and thank them. It's the least you can do."
Living without laughing isn't living.

As Miami's hot summer slowly passes, this outdoor event is the perfect reason to get your friends and welcome fall. Many, many and I mean MANY beer stations from the popular to the micro-brews ready to be consumed at this beer festival in Peacock Park at the Grove. For one price you go from station to station sampling great beers, many which include the non-traditional flavors that the big breweries don't involve in their beers. At this time of year there is such a nice breeze which will definitely sooth your senses as the alcohol flows. Also, stroll to the back of the field with your brew to sit by the bay under the shade if you're feet need a break before continuing to sample.
While the consumption keeps going you'll hear rockin' sounds from local bands and popular DJ's getting your hips shaking on your way to the next beer pour! To fuel up there are plenty of food stations to keep your knees from buckling after all the beer consumption. Buy your tickets early to get a discounted price at www.grovetoberfest.com
Our Opinion:
Do not settle to park at an expensive $20 parking lot. Take your time and look for one of the city's covered parking lots because they're usually at the regular $1 an hour price. Wear light clothing and lots of sunblock and if you find a beer station with a long line just wander over to another because it'll probably have a shorter wait.

29 July 2019
Units 1 and 2 of Belgium's Doel nuclear power plant can continue operating, even though a law extending their operation was adopted without the required environmental assessments or public consultation being carried out first, the European Court of Justice ruled today.
A law limiting the operating lives of Belgium's nuclear reactors to 40 years was passed by the country's government in 2003, but in July 2015 an amendment was passed to enable Doel 1 and 2 to operate for a further ten years provided regulatory approval was granted. This means that Doel 1 would close on 15 February 2025, and Doel 2 on 1 December 2025.
In early October 2015, the Belgian nuclear regulator, the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control (FANC), approved an action plan submitted by Electrabel in April, which outlined the actions to be taken over the next decade to ensure the continued safe operation of the two 433 MWe pressurised water reactors beyond their original 40-year design life. The plan incorporated elements related to modernisation and management of aging facilities, as well as setting out a timetable and prioritising various actions. Modernisation work under the plan will cost EUR700 million (USD778 million).
Any deviation from the action plan and schedule must be approved by the FANC, and all priority measures must be completed before the reactors can start long-term operation. Electrabel must also submit the summary report from its fourth decennial safety review before the start of the long-term operation.
Two Belgian environmental associations - Inter-Environnement Wallonie and Bond Beter Leefmilieu Vlaanderen - brought an action before Belgium's Constitutional Court for the annulment of the law, saying the operating life extension had been adopted without an environmental assessment and without public consultation. The case was referred to the European Court of Justice.
In a ruling today, the court said the major works on Doel 1 and Doel 2 "intended to modernise them and ensure compliance with up-to-date safety standards were such as to affect the physical reality of the sites concerned". It added: "Furthermore, while it is true that those works were not referred to in the Law of 28 June 2015, but in an agreement of 30 November 2015 concluded between the Belgian State and the company Electrabel, which is the owner and operator of the nuclear power stations, they were nevertheless closely connected with the measures adopted by the Belgian legislature."
The Belgian government in March 2018 reaffirmed its intention to phase out nuclear power by 2025 with the approval of a new "energy pact" which had been agreed in December 2017 by Belgium's four energy ministers, at federal, Brussels, Walloon and Flemish level. The new strategy maintains the country's plan to shut down its seven operating nuclear reactors by 2025. It also calls for investments in gas and renewables, particularly off-shore wind turbines, to replace the capacity that will be lost through the nuclear phase-out.

The film was directed by Jonathan Liebesman, written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Evan Daugherty, and stars Megan Fox, Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Minae Noji, Whoopi Goldberg, Abby Elliott and Tohoru Masamune, and featuring the voices of Johnny Knoxville, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard and Tony Shalhoub. The film was announced shortly before Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Peter Laird sold the rights to the characters to Nickelodeon in October 2009.
The film was released on August 8, 2014,[5] and received generally negative reviews from critics. However, it was a box office success, earning $493.3 million on a $125 million budget and it became the highest grossing film in the series. It was also nominated at the 28th Kids' Choice Awards for Favorite Movie, Favorite Movie Actor and Favorite Movie Actress. A sequel, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, was released on June 3, 2016.[6][7]
April O'Neil, a local reporter for Channel 6 Eyewitness News in New York City, investigates a crime wave by a group of criminals called the Foot Clan. At a dock at night, she sees the Foot raiding cargo containers. After an unseen vigilante attacks the thieves, April notices a symbol left behind. April's supervisor Bernadette Thompson (Whoopi Goldberg) and her coworkers are oblivious to her story. Later while covering a charity event thrown by Sacks Industries, April expresses gratitude to the company's CEO Eric Sacks, who was her late father's lab partner.
Frustrated by the vigilante, the Foot Clan's leader Shredder has the Foot Soldiers take hostages at a subway station in order to draw him out. April, at the scene, becomes a hostage herself. Four mysterious figures arrive, take out the Clan, and free the hostages. April follows them to a rooftop and is shocked to see that the vigilantes are anthropomorphic mutant turtles, causing her to pass out. When she regains consciousness, they advise her not to tell anyone of them. As they leave, April hears Raphael and Leonardo's names.
April returns to her apartment and remembers "Project Renaissance", her father's science experiment, which involved four turtles named Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and a mutated rat called Splinter. Unable to convince Bernadette of the Turtles' existence, April is dismissed. Her coworker Vern Fenwick drives her to Sacks' estate where she confides in him about her discovery. Sacks believes her and reveals that he and April's father had been experimenting on a mutagen created to cure disease, which was thought lost in the fire that killed her dad.
At Splinter's behest, the Turtles bring April to their sewer lair. Splinter explains April had saved them all from the fire and freed them into the sewers. The mutagen caused the five of them to grow and develop humanoid attributes. Splinter took on the role of their father, using April's father as an example. After finding a book on Ninjutsu in a storm drain, he proceeded to teach himself, then the Turtles, in the fighting style. When April reveals she told Sacks about her discovery of the Turtles, Splinter informs her that Sacks turned on her father and killed him.
Then, Shredder and the Foot Soldiers attack the lair, defeating Splinter and incapacitating Raphael while the other Turtles are captured. April comes out of hiding and she and Raphael plan to save the others. At Sacks' estate, he has the Turtles' blood drained in order to create an antidote to a deadly virus that Sacks hopes to flood New York with, believing he will become rich from people seeking his cure. Raphael, April, and Vern storm the estate and free the other Turtles. The group then escapes the compound in pursuit of Sacks.
On a radio tower in the city, Sacks and Shredder plant a device that will flood the city with the virus while Sacks is preparing to convert the mutagen to healing factor. April and Vern subdue Sacks in the lab, while the Turtles are battling Shredder on the roof. During the fight, the tower's support beams collapse. As the turtles try to keep it from falling and infecting the city, April confronts Shredder with the mutagen. In the struggle, the tower collapses and the Turtles pull April onto it with them, while Shredder falls to the street and is confronted by police. Believing they are about to die, the Turtles confess their secrets, while Raphael gives an impassioned speech of his love for his brothers before they land harmlessly on the street. They vanish before the humans find them and return to the sewers, where they give Splinter the mutagen and he begins to recover.
Sometime later, April meets with Vern, who tries and fails to ask her on a date. The Turtles appear in a special modified "Turtle Van", and Michelangelo accidentally blows up Vern's new car with a rocket. As police respond to the explosion, the Turtles leave, but not before Mikey tries to serenade April with "Happy Together" by the band The Turtles, much to his brothers' annoyance and April's joy.

There is nothing more disheartening too find a newly feathered chick, where all the feathers are missing as they have been plucked by either another chick or an adult.
NOTE this section should be considered only for Canaries as feather plucking in other breeds can have specific causes such as "Hypovitaminosis [A]",
There are many theories but no known reason why the plucker starts. It is however fairly certain that when an adult particularly the hen starts plucking, it is difficult to stop it continuing. If however it is another young bird doing the plucking, then the remedy is easy and the problem will not continue.
You will sometimes see a bird chewing on the feather shaft, appearing as if to get to the soft centre. Some say this is an attempt to get a mineral for which the bird is deficient, but I think that this is bunkum nonsense claptrap hogwash rubbish twaddle.
The following may be observed | Feathers plucked | Tail feathers missing | Bald patches |
Adult Hen missing head feathers.
If an adult hen is missing head feathers it has probably been caused during mating, or the cock bird is hassling the hen whilst she is sitting on the nest. The best treatment is to remove the cock. Once the eggs are laid the cock can be safely removed and returned later when the chicks are about 14 days old.
Young un-flighted birds missing feathers.
This is caused usually by another young bird and the problem is directly proportional to the boredom of the chicks
The best way to resolve this problem is to tie pieces of string about 15mm (6") long, onto the bars of the cage. You will need to tie them on tightly, as the birds will pull the string every which way for hours. Make sure the string will not shred into a fine mass of threads which can catch a claw.
I find that this is enough to stop boredom however some people use toys with bells and swings and all sorts of things.

Ensure Your Compliance with Section 20 of the Landlord & Tenants Act 1985As a property manager or letting agent, it's crucial to look for ways you can improve the property for residents. Whether it be exciting improvements, vital repairs or some simple routine maintenance, making these changes can help ensure an attractive, safe and successful property. However, with these changes comes necessary compliance. Section 20 (S20) of the Landlord & Tenants Act 1985 (applies to landlords/freeholders, right to manage companies, resident management companies and their managing agents in England and Wales) states that landlords or their agents are required to participate in set consultation procedures with leaseholders before carrying out works on property above a certain value. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in costly consequences and frustrated residents, ultimately harming your business reputation. Keep your property successful and residents satisfied by ensuring awareness of S20 and following consultation procedures.
What is Section 20?S20 is meant to provide protection to leaseholders from having to pay large amounts of money for works that occur to their building. Essentially, it states that the landlord or letting agent of a property must follow specific consultation procedures before starting work that would require any one leaseholder to contribute an estimated £250 or more. This estimated cost must include VAT and consultant fees. If the landlord or letting agent doesn't follow these consultation procedures to inform leaseholders before work begins, the leaseholders' contribution to the cost of work will be capped. This means that the landlord or letting agent would then only be able to receive £250 from each leaseholder for the final bill, regardless of the total work cost. Noncompliance can also result in loss of income and negligence claims.
Section 20 Consultation ProceduresThere are three primary consultation procedures required under S20. They include the following:
- Stage One: Notice of Intention—First, you must serve a notice to the leaseholder(s) that details the proposed works and why they are necessary for the property. This notice should also welcome commentary and contractor nominations. You must give leaseholders 30 days to respond.
- Stage Two: Estimate Statement—As soon as you receive estimates, you must provide another notice to all leaseholders that includes the costs. This notice should also welcome commentary and give leaseholders 30 days to respond.
- Stage Three: Notice of Reasons—Once the contract for the works is rewarded, you must send a final notice if you didn't choose the least expensive estimate or contractor nomination. You must include justification for the option you chose.
