At a time when Indian and global oil & gas industry is discovering the new normal amidst tumultuous economic scenario and fluctuating commodity prices, there is a need to push for gender diversity, an issue that has been long neglected.
Senior women leaders deliberated on 'Women leadership in Oil & Gas' at the 16th Oil & Gas HR Roundtable organised by UPES. Nishi Vasudeva former Chairman & Managing Director, Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd; Bhavana Chary Samel, Vice President - HR, Total Oil India Pvt. Ltd and Prajakta Kanaglekar, Senior HR Business Partner - South Asia, Baker Hughes, a GE Company, urged organisations in this sector to work towards hiring more female employees, retaining them and developing them for leadership roles.
A recent Ernst & Young survey also highlights the need for diversity to help navigate oil and gas sector disruption and the value diversity brings to the bottom line. The survey findings suggest that 'without diversity, companies will continue to miss out on innovation and insight to capitalise on future opportunities and drivers of growth. Board and senior management need to create and invest in a varied talent pipeline across all levels and mentor individuals to eradicate the unconscious bias currently holding back some of their top talent.'
In a panel discussion on 'Transformational Leadership in the New Normal', Lakshmi Venkatesh, General Manager, Petrofac Engineering India Ltd said, "Every employee should be a change agent and leaders should be change masters. Leadership has to change the way it is thinking and empower employees at the lower end of the pyramid to take decisions, which will promote agility within the organisation."
P Raghavendran, President (Refinery Business), Reliance Industries Ltd said, "The definition of oil and gas industry is changing to being an energy or mobility business and we are looking for human resources who can adapt to these changes. Earlier the industry needed employees with long experience but today it needs talent who has learning agility, who can develop newer business models. We need people with imagination."
Re-energising work capital has become another significant task for HR managers in this sector for organisations to adjust to the new normal. On the issue of conflict of cultures with millennial workforce joining the industry Diptii Das, Head (HR), South Asia, Aramex International said, "Culture of an organisation is like software with new version updates. The original culture doesn't die; it just gets updated with new culture."

Store Style: Best Dressed
We've got party dresses on the brain! And with so many great options to choose from, finding that perfect dress is no problem – but picking just one might be! To help, we turned to our stylish New York fp girls to tell us which dresses they love most this season and how they'd style them.
The Miles of Lace Dress is one of our absolute favorites this season – I love how it looks paired with the ruffle leggings!! This dress is incredibly versatile – wear it to something more casual by paring it with a floppy hat, fringe bag, and fur vest. Add some fun accessories like the arrow feather hair clip and a fringe necklace. If you're going somewhere a bit dressier, try pairing it with a velvet blazer, black platforms and a turban!
The Gold Rush Knit Dress is one of my favorites – I love the colors and the texture. Dress it down with tights, knee socks and tall boots, with a maxi cardigan or robe like the moon duster maxi over top. Or, go for a dressier look with tights, studded ankle boots, the vegan leather jacket and dripped chain headpiece.
I love this look! Pair the vegan leather dress with a button down shirt or cardigan and some cute shoes.
This is such a cute combination! The Crochet and Lace Sweater Dress worn with the Bamboo Stripes Crop Top, Boucle Textured Jacket and Saffi Lace-Up Boot.
The beautiful Show Pony Dress, worn with tights, boots and accentuated with turquoise rings.
The Show Pony Dress again, worn with the Almond Suede Wedge, Floppy Hat, Variety Rib Cardigan, Embroidered Midtown Jacket and Ihamana Scarf.
For a cool rock 'n' roll look, pair the Gold Rush Dress with a Plaid Button Down, the Vegan Leather Jacket, Scarf, Darla Platform and Clutch.
A cute casual look: the FP Beach Mitered Maxi, Margarita Textured Scarf and Denim Jacket.
Dress up the same maxi by wearing a cute cami over top!

November 1970: NWCC enters interstate exchange agreement
In November 1970, the college's board of trustees began negotiations with the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education on an interstate exchange agreement for community college students. This multi-state, reciprocal, reduced-tuition agreement was superseded later by the Closest Community College Program and after that by the Western Undergraduate Exchange Program.
December 1976: College defines service area
Although Northwest's tax base was limited to Park County, in December 1976 the college's board officially recognized the "NWCC service area" as all of the Big Horn Basin. This designation came in recognition of the college's established tradition of commitment to the four-county area.

"Termites are really disgusting and the damage they can create can really incur a large sum of money for repair of the parts of the house that they have infested. That is why it is very necessary that you will hire a licensed pest control officer who is trained, skilled and certified in doing the job of inspecting, controlling and exterminating the termites at your home or office.
When hiring a termite inspector it is also given that you need to also check on the company where the inspector is connected. The company should be a licensed pest control company that has a reputable record and has positive reviews as to handling termite control activities. When quoting the services for controlling termites, free inspection must be done first before quotation is given. If the company asks you for payment, you better look for another company.
The inspection is done so the treatment method is ensured that it is appropriate to the kind of termite infestation detected in your home or office. Your needs for termite control may be different from the rest so the inspector cannot just iron it out and make an estimate on the termite treatment cost without inspecting the area.
© www.gwyartists.info
The termite control company should give you a service warranty. Look for a company that will offer free services when the infestation happens again in a certain period of time outside the period that is being promised that termite treatment will remain effective. Make sure that you ask on whether the company will make free follow-ups as to the possible recurrence of infestations. Termites may behave in different ways depending on the structure and the area where they thrive. The offer of long term guarantee from a company is what you need to look for.
When the termite inspector goes to your house, he checks on your home's termite infestation like wood damage, exit holes of termites, and their droppings. He will inspect all the parts of the structures. If he is certified inspector, he will identify not only the termites but also other types of pests; activities of termites; best methods of control like knowing where the bait station should be; and treatment needed while considering the regulations of the state on the use of pest control products.
The best company is just within your locality. Ask your neighborhood or search online to find the right one and be hassle-free from infestations of termites.

The Israeli police on Friday morning claimed responsibility for the abduction of a Palestinian man in Tel Aviv, saying they had suspicions the man was attempting to carry out an anti-occupation attack.
Hebrew media claimed the 39-year-old Palestinian was arrested Thursday after he stole a truck in Holon which he intended to use against Israeli soldiers in an anti-occupation car-ramming attack.
The driver was arrested following a car chase in the direction of Rishon LeZion.
The suspect allegedly confessed during questioning that he intended to use the vehicle to run over Israeli soldiers deployed in territories occupied in 1948 (Israel).

It's always sad when an animal's owner passes away and the animal is left on its own. That's what happened to Ruckus. This sweet senior dog came to us in May as a stray, but we later found out that his owner had died, leaving Ruckus by himself. Ruckus was a gentle soul who loved attention. He quickly became the front office mascot and liked to greet people when they came into the shelter. Although about 10 years old, his gray muzzle was the only thing that gave a hint of his age. He loved to play and cuddle. Sadly, though, his age worked against him, as many people are not looking to adopt an older animal.

On March 3rd, 2015, our OSPCA agent seized a cat who had been left without food or water in an apartment building. She was immediately assessed by our veterinary care staff. Her skin was scaly, her fur was coarse, her nose was swollen, and it was observed that her right eye was injured. Now affectionately known as Kate, this sweet girl seemed to have a number of medical conditions. After consultation with several veterinarians, it was determined that her eye injury was a result of some sort of trauma. We don't know Kate's story, but it was clear that she needed a new home and a second chance in life.

There was every excuse not to show up at Scotstoun last night, a cold wind, modest opposition, the absence of several stars, but still the little ground was stowed out, a capacity crowd according to the official figures, even if a few empty green seats could be seen.
Cheered on by their vocal fans and with the first use of a handy breeze, Glasgow set out their stall early and should have had the opening try after just four minutes only for someone in black, Leonadro Sarto perhaps, to drop the ball over the try line.
Instead the home fans were made to wait until the tenth minute for the opening try of the game which went to centre Nick Grigg and the home team continued in much the same vein for the remainder of the 80 minutes. Glasgow secured the bonus point try before the half hour mark and ran in seven tries in total against the sorry Italian opponents who somehow managed two of their own.
Zebre arrived here on the back of two wins (answers on a postcard please?) and the visitors' cause was not helped by losing two players inside the opening ten minutes, one of whom was their scrum-half, but even that barely excuses their lacklustre display.
At one point in the first half Glasgow won a set scrum inside their own 22 and centre Sam Johnson ran almost the length of the field before finally being hauled down deep inside the Zebre red zone.
Had he got the pass away to Grigg the little centre would have had a brace but it mattered little. One quickly tapped penalty later and Rob Harley had Glasgow's third before two back row forwards, Chris Fusaro and Matt Fagerson, combined up the right flank to put the number eight over for Glasgow's fourth and bonus-point score.
The younger of the two Fagerson brothers on Glasgow's books enjoyed a comfortable first start at home. He guddled one ball at the base of a scrum, with a penalty coming his way, but he carried well and otherwise looked confident and assured especially when you remember he is still just 18 years old.
Greg Peterson was another willing carrier, with the ball and some space Fusaro looked more like a centre than the flanker he is and Peter Horne called the shots from No.10, kicking everything that came his way with a perfect five from five off the tee, before being replaced by younger brother George in the second half.
He also managed a 100 per cent record off the tee, missing both his conversion attempts.
Glasgow looked back to their efficient best, but given the paucity of the opposition it is probably wise to withhold judgment for the time being. The forwards bossed the contact zone and drove mauls with impunity. But if you run at Italians they will tackle all day and the running lines and offloads in the open spaces, from forwards and backs alike, was what sliced and diced Zebre all evening.
Glasgow started the second half with a 28-0 cushion and with the match long gone Zebre enjoyed their best period. The Italians took advantage of some Glasgow indiscipline to set up camp inside the home 22 and, for the first time in the match, the Warriors' defence was tested and held firm.
On 50 minutes, Glasgow replaced two props and one lock and in the very next scrum drove Zebre back 20 metres to lift the siege. Glasgow kicked a penalty into the corner and Rory Hughes thought he had scored under the posts only to see the try wiped off for blocking.
Minutes later Fusaro stepped out of a weak tackle to send Sam Johnson over the line. Matt Smith replaced the flanker and scored with his first touch of the ball from a driven lineout and the youngster had the audacity to add another, Glasgow's seventh, five minutes from time.
The match ended with a breakout try for Zebre, this one falling to Kurt Baker, which lent some credibility to the final score that the visitors scarcely deserved.

Supporters of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) are raising funds for a project in the Khan Younis area of Gaza, which will see training and employment opportunities created for at least sixty women in war-devastated region.
A fundraiser takes place in the Tunnel Bar in Portadown on Friday, November 6, with a traditional music session and story-telling night.
In the aftermath of last year's conflict in Gaza, a number of people in Portadown who had previously been involved in various initiatives relating to Palestine came together to form a local branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
Forming the branch has permitted people in the area to become more pro-active on the whole Palestinian issue on a long-term basis.
IPSC members made contact with community workers in Khan Younis to see how they could provide assistance to those most affected by the conflict.
A proposal was received back from Gaza in relation to a potential project which sought to provide direct assistance to women in those families where the main bread-winner was either killed or seriously injured as a result of the Israeli bombardment.
That initiative proposed the provision of training and employment opportunities to women by creating a small, co-operatively-based food-processing unit where various baked foods, jams etc could be produced thereby empowering some of those most affected by the conflict and, at the same time, providing them with a source of income.
Although small, the value of this and other similar projects in Palestine should not be under-estimated. UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees, reported last week that 13,167 refugee families in Gaza remain displaced because of the damage done to their homes by the 2014 conflict.
The massive destruction which Israeli forces wreaked upon the Khan Younis area, coupled with the interference which the Portadown IPSC experienced in sending funds to Gaza as a result of Israeli's ongoing economic blockade, hindered the commencement of the women's project for many months.
However, in recent times, the project is now on track. A progress report provided this month to the IPSC by the El-Baraem Development Society gives details of several public meetings held in Khan Younis to inform local women about the project.
Over 100 women expressed firm interest in the project and sixty of those, aged between 25 and 45, have now been formally recruited. A training programme has been developed which will commence in the next few weeks. Premises in which to locate the project have also been identified.
Speaking about the project, the chairperson of the Portadown IPSC branch, Ciarán Ó Fearghail, said, "It's good to see that this project is finally coming to fruition.
"We 'adopted' the women's empowerment project locally as a means by which people in Portadown and surrounding areas could provide some form of positive and long-lasting aid to the Palestinian people. Since last year, we have raised several thousand pounds to help this initiative get off the ground. Local people have been fantastic in their response."

Colour Coding was a quick Sunday afternoon hack to see if there might be a better way of presenting a coding environment to the human user.
The code was written in "Arduino" and running on a ZPUino soft core processor hosted on a Papilio Duo Spartan 6 FPGA board.
This combination was chosen because the ZPUino supports VGA generation hardware, and can make use of the Adafruit GFX common graphics library.
This is just a trial mockup of how code might look if presented in a radically different format on a VGA screen - plus it's a means of trying out some ideas - of what might work, and what won't.
These big bold, bright displays can easily be generated with modest hardware and limited processing power. However they have their application for FPGA projects that need to generate more than just a UART output - but create an interactive graphical user interface on a big LCD monitor.
Historical Note
The traditional screen editor has been around for about 45 years - ever since serial terminals could rapidly update a whole page of text and show screen cursor and editor operations.
Expressing source code as a linear text file has always been accepted as one the easiest means of getting source code into a compiler, so that the various functions may be compiled in the order that they appear in the text file. Its a throwback to paper tape and punched cards that were fed in and read in sequence until the end of the tape or card deck was reached.
This might not be the best way to organise source code for display - especially, as in the case of Forth, and certain object oriented languages, where the source consists of a lot of very short functions.
Forth traditionally organised it's source into 1024 byte blocks - as these were seen to be a convenient size to edit, update and store on the disc. A 1024 character block of source code is just 32 lines of 32 characters, and on a modern display 1024 x 768 screen - at a comfortable text size, this occupies about 1/15 of the screen viewing area.
|The text in the white keyhole is 32 x 16 characters
Colourful Times
Text has traditionally been in monochrome, but more modern editors have started to add colour to the text in order to signify meaning.
Colour is something that is so simple to overlay over monochrome data - even in chunky VGA text, that it is surprising that not more use has been made of it. Indeed whe I edit pcb layouts in EagleCAD - the only way I can distinguish the top layer tracks from those of the bottom layer is by the use of bold colours.
The same process could be applied to text - making it more readable and conveying meaning through the colour attributes.
|The text is almost the same as a screenful of ZX81 BASIC
Micro-Windows or "Keyholes"
Perhaps there might be a better way of presenting source code on the screen, rather than having to constantly scroll up and down the text file looking for the function that you wish to edit.
Using standard 1024 character Forth blocks, it would be practical to display up to 15 blocks arranged as a 5 x 3 array. The background colour of each block would be set to be different to that of it's neighbours, for ease of visibilty, and using the mouse or touch pad, each of these "micro-windows" could be brought into focus, to allow editing, compilation or execution of that block.
Each micro-window would have access to its own toolset: edit, compile, execute, save etc accessed from buttons along the base of the window.
Where a high level code definition was dependent on certain lower definitions, then those lower definitions could be colour-tagged to show the dependency tree.
Micro-Windows is such a dreadful constructed name, perhaps "porthole" or "spyhole" or even "keyhole" may be more appropriate.
Small Objects of Desire.
Much of modern application development is done in object oriented languages, where objects are created from data structures, and those structures are manipulated by methods. An object plotted to a screen might take the form of a Red Ball, located at a certain x,y position on the screen and with a certain diameter and colour. Further attributes could be used to describe it's shading, transparency or what graphics layer it resides on. The use of keyholes might be a good way to present the attributes to the developer, such that they could be edited. Likewise the method scripts that manipulate the objects could be viewable through the porthole system.
Another questionable made up word, however, one that describes the selection and subsequent viewing of a particular block of code based on its colour. A great deal should be possible by partitioning the overall screen view into zones, and sub-zones defined by colour. When the mouse mouseovers or lands in a zone or subzone the options are immediately highlighted.
Multi Processor Arrays
The array of keyholes might be a good way to view tasks that are distributed across arrays of multi processors.

In response to this, Maplewood Fire/EMS launched an initiative to become a Heart Safe City. Maplewood Fire/EMS aims to train thousands of people in our community Hands-Only™ CPR. The goal of this initiative is to educate people about cardiac arrest and empower members of the community to assist an adult who suddenly collapses.
Hands-Only™ CPR is a simplified method of CPR that requires no mouth-to-mouth breathing. It is a two-step technique that involves calling 911 and pushing hard and fast in the center of the victim's chest until help arrives.
To get involved, sign up and attend an upcoming training session, or learn at home by checking out a take home
By educating the residents and business owners of Maplewood on Hands-Only™ CPR, we aim to earn a Heart Safe designation from the Minnesota Department of Health and the American Heart Association.

Series: Heartbreak Chronicles #2
Author: Ali Novak
Pub Date: July 4, 2017
"I'm sorry," he said, slowly untying the ribbon that held his mask in place. "It's just—I didn't want you to think of me any differently."
Somehow I kept my mouth from falling open. I knew his face, but my mind couldn't accept that he was the person looking down at me.
"My real name is Alec."
Felicity has her entire future planned. Ever since her older sister ran away, she's had the full weight of her mother's expectations on her shoulders. So she works hard to get straight As and save for college.
Except sometimes the best things in life are unplanned—like when Felicity meets a handsome, masked stranger while she is volunteering at a charity masquerade ball. She never thought he'd flirt with her. And she certainly never thought he'd turn out to be a member of the world-famous Heartbreakers band, Alec.
Then Felicity uncovers a shocking family secret. Suddenly, she, Alec, and her two best friends are off on a road trip to find Felicity's missing sister. And she's about to discover that unexpected turns have a peculiar way of landing her right where she needs to be…
Ali Novak writes contemporary young adult romance and is a recent graduate of the University of Madison Wisconsin's creative writing program. She wrote her first full length novel, My Life with the Walter Boys, at the age of fifteen.

Before I could overthink it, I pulled off my mask and tucked it on top of my bag where it wouldn't get crushed. Then I hurried out of the room and thanked the man before surveying the lobby for Aaron. He was standing beside the valet counter, headphones in as he waited for me. His head bobbed to the beat of whatever song was playing, and when he saw me coming toward him, he stiffened.
"What's wrong?" I asked when I reached him.
"Nothing," he said, yanking out the earbuds. He stood straighter and nodded at me, but his response was too quick and I didn't believe him.
"No, really. What's up?" Reaching up, I self-consciously brushed a strand of my hair away from my eyes.
"It's just that, well…you took off your mask."
Oh man, that's a bad thing?
My cheeks caught fire. Okay, so maybe my bottom teeth could be a little straighter, and I hated the number of freckles I had, but it wasn't like my face was repulsive or anything. At least, I'd never thought so.
Aaron instantly backtracked, waving his hands in defense. "Crap, I didn't mean it like that. You have a very lovely face…er…I mean, you're really pretty."
"Um, thanks?"
"I'm sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck. "That came out all wrong. What I meant was… Now that you took off yours, I feel obligated to as well."
"And you don't want to?"
"No, it's not that, but…" He trailed off, shaking his head, and took a big breath. "There's something I haven't told you." He paused. "About myself."
"Okay?" I said, my voice rising slightly. Did he not want to give me a ride home anymore? If so, I was totally screwed. I'd probably missed the bus, and there was no way Asha was home from picking up Riya yet, which meant I'd have to call my mom and interrupt her date. She would not be happy. "Are you some crazy serial killer?"
I joked, voicing my earlier concern. "Aaron the ax murderer?"
"No," he said, "but my name isn't Aaron."
My entire body tensed. "What?"
Why would he lie about his name?
"I'm sorry," he said, slowly untying the ribbon that held his mask in place. "It's just…I didn't want you to think of me any differently." He pulled the wolf away, and somehow I kept my mouth from falling open. I knew his face, but my mind couldn't accept that he was the person looking down at me. "My real name is Alec."
Holy. Freaking. Shit.
"Alec," I repeated. I tried to swallow my shock. "As in Alec Williams." Son of Sebastian Williams, CEO of Mongo Records—one of the largest labels in the music industry—and bass player for the Heartbreakers.
He stood there blushing, hands clasped behind his back.
I couldn't wrap my mind around this impossibility, and I thought if I said the truth out loud, then maybe I would actually believe it. Because I hadn't spent my time at the ball with some random cute guy. No, Alec Williams and his bandmates were some of the most famous guys in the whole flipping universe. Even more famous than Gabe Grant and Violet James.
It wasn't like I was crazy obsessed with the Heartbreakers like Asha was. Sure, I liked their music. Heck, I'd even bought one oftheir albums, but I'd never been to a Heartbreakers concert, and I didn't stalk their lives like a crazy fangirl. But the revelation that I'd unknowingly spent the past hour with an actual celebrity was overwhelming. Suddenly, all those embarrassing moments rushed back to me, and I blushed so deeply that my face probably turned the color of my hair.
Alec watched me with a guarded expression as I tried not to freak out. And then I remembered what he'd said only moments ago: he lied because he didn't want me to think of him any differently.
Right now, I was doing just that.
He's just a regular guy, I tried to convince myself. Pretend he's still Aaron.
I flexed my fingers and pasted on a smile, but before I could say anything, a woman in a navy ball gown stepped in front of me. "Alec Williams?" she asked, an uncertain smile on her face. When he nodded, the woman's shoulders relaxed. "I thought I recognized you. My daughter absolutely loves the Heartbreakers. Your music is the only thing she listens to, and she'd be crushed if I had the opportunity to get an autograph and came home empty-handed. Do you mind signing something for me?"
"Of course not." Alec grabbed a pen and a piece of paper off the valet desk. "What's your daughter's name?"
I watched as Alec scribbled a quick message and his name before handing the paper over to the woman.
"Thank you so much," she said, clutching the signature in her hands. "This will mean the world to her."
Alec nodded again, and the woman said good night. I wondered if it was always like this for him—having to sign autographs, posing for pictures, putting on a smile everywhere he went. As backward as it sounded, living like that must've been lonely, to never have a moment to himself or be just a face in the crowd. I almost felt sorry for him.
When Alec faced me again, his lips were pressed tight, like he expected me to ask for an autograph too. Instead, I smirked.
"Well, I can honestly say I didn't see that coming."
A few seconds passed, and a grin split his face. "Because I'm more the serial-killer type?"
"Yup, totally." We stared at each other with hesitant smiles, and suddenly it was like he was Aaron again, not Alec Williams of certain Heartbreakers fame.
"Mr. Williams?" the valet asked, materializing at Alec's side. "Your car is ready."
Alec took the keys. "Thanks," he said, and my eyes went big when he slipped the man a fifty. He turned to me. "Do you still want me to give you a ride home? There are going to be people out there who will take our picture."
I gulped. Did I want a bunch of flashing cameras in my face? No, and I suddenly realized this would be a whole lot easier if I'd kept my mask on. But at the same time, I had a feeling the boy standing next to me was worth a few uncomfortable moments in the limelight.
"Yeah," I said, and my mouth twitched into a smile. "Besides, I probably already missed the bus."
"I guess you're stuck with me." And then he put his hand on the small of my back and guided me out into the night.

12/07/2018 - 07:40:00Back to Donald Trump World Home
Donald Trump has a busy few days ahead of him as he arrives for his first visit to the UK as president.
Here is a look at his itinerary.
– Mr Trump will arrive into Stansted airport on Thursday at around lunchtime, fresh from the Nato summit in Brussels.
– Mr Trump and First Lady Melania will have a meet and greet at the US Embassy in London.
Mr Trump cancelled a planned visit to open the newly relocated embassy at the beginning of the year, saying the move from Grosvenor Square in the prestigious Mayfair district of central London to an what he described as an "off location" at Nine Elms, south of the Thames, was a "bad deal".
– The couple will attend a black-tie dinner at the Grade I-listed Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire hosted by Theresa May.
Other guests are set to include leaders from business sectors, celebrating the business links between the UK and US.
– Mr Trump and his wife will spend Thursday night at Winfield House in Regent's Park, which is the US Ambassador's residence in London.
– Mr Trump will meet again with Mrs May for a visit to a defence site. Air restrictions have been put in place above the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
– The pair will then travel to Chequers, the Prime Minister's country residence, for what is being billed as "substantive bilateral talks on a range of foreign policy issues" during a working lunch.
A press conference is pencilled in for afterwards.
– Mr Trump will meet the Queen at Windsor Castle.
England's Queen and Mr Trump will inspect the Guard of Honour before watching the military march past.
Mr and Mrs Trump will also join the Queen for tea at the Castle.
– Later in the evening Mr Trump will head to Scotland for the weekend. He will be welcomed by David Mundell, the Secretary of State for Scotland.
Mr Trump is believed to be spending the weekend playing golf at his Turnberry resort in South Ayrshire, which he bought in 2014, although there has been no official confirmation of his plans.
Mr Trump's mother, the late Mary MacLeod Trump, was Scottish. She was born on the Isle of Lewis before emigrating to the US in the 1930s.
– President Trump and the First Lady are expected to depart.

We had a question on our mailing list recently about how to solve for systems of equations that involve multiple interactions of equations. This comes up a lot in chemical systems, neutronics and lots of other places.
MOOSE now supports range checked parameters. We use the builtin fparser from libMesh so that we can handle very simple to very complex expressions. A full HTML reference of the syntax can be found here.
In the MOOSE view of things there are three types of coupling:
By default, MOOSE writes Tecplot files in ASCII format. In the past, we have used the ".plt" file extension to denote these ASCII files, but this is inconsistent with the typical Tecplot naming convention which uses the ".plt" extension for binary files instead.
This last week 50 people traveled to Idaho Falls, ID to participate in a three day MOOSE workshop. This was the first workshop where MOOSE has been open source and we were excited to have a whole new crop of users help us kick off this next chapter in the project.

The story goes that Al Spx – aka Cold Specks – is a false name, created by the 24 year-old Canadian to divert attention away from her real family name. However, it's the fact that they simply don't approve of her career in music, rather than actually protecting them that's the issue, and consequently we're left with the rumour of a backstory that hints at rejection, discouragement, and the desire to break free. It's the wonderful kind of promotional fodder that a music critic laps right up.
And it might seem cliché for me to mention it right from the get-go, but it's the kind of story that needs to be considered when listening to the music, as I Predict A Graceful Expulsion seems to form itself around this idea of a past life, and of Spx dealing with growing up and out of her family ties. The first lyrics on the album are "He left his mark upon my skin," which could well be a reference to a singular person, or even the just the city or Toronto, which she has since moved to London from. Spx seems to be dealing with her troubles openly, but it's easy to assume everything is linked to a morbid and terrifying past. "Take my body home" she continues during the chorus of "The Mark," with a deep, low voice behind hers, like a last request to whoever finds her. She bookends the album with another version of the same idea, with "Lay Me Down"; this time round the backing vocals are almost angelic and light. She seems to find peace by the end of the album.
There's an optimistic and hopeful tone, though, that seeps through every so often. She seems to point towards a sort of revolution from children: "Sons and daughters/ May you kill what my blind heart could not" she rallies on "Winter Solstice" while on "Holland" she informs the listener (or the enemy) that "We are many, we are many, we are." But even if she's not actually referring to an uprising, there's definitely a desire to break free graciously. When she sings the album's title over and over on "Elephant Head" it sounds like everything will end gracefully, even if it will cost her her family; she'll still walk away with her head held high.
All this might not catch you on your first few listens; her lyrics are the kind that seep in after repeated listens. Her music follows suit, as producers Jim Anderson and Rob Ellis lightly orchestrate Spx's lo-fi acoustic skeletons, adding brass and wind instruments. The music never gets in the way, and works pretty much perfectly to help the songs ebb and flow, and to heighten the best moments. On "Blank Maps" Spx delivers her most ferocious and memorable line, spouting "I am a goddamn believer," as ticking pianos and harpsichords carry the track carefully upwards. "Steady" has drums, strings, and hammered piano chords, as Spx coos wordlessly before proclaiming "We have caught fire." It's not quite a blaze, but something is definitely ignited.
It should be said that what does catch you on your initial listen is Spx's voice itself: it's a powerful, smooth instrument, heavy with emotion, that can easily make you stop what you're doing and pay attention (especially when she sings solo). It's also steeped in gospel and soul influence, allowing it to flourish when there's a full band behind her ("Winter Solstice," "Steady") or when it's nothing but Spx in front of the microphone (the intro of "Heavy Hands," the end of "Send Your Youth"). And really that's all that is Spx looks like she's going to do in the future: flourish.
Plugging away since 1999, The National finally hit mainstream success with the release of their 2010 album High Violet. Of course, this entailed their first world tour, but in the new documentary Mistaken For Strangers, it's only the backdrop for the relationship between lead singer Matt Berninger and his younger brother Tom, who had no idea that these short videos he was shooting would turn into a public document of their troubled, if still loving brotherhood.
We talk with Israeli rockers Vaadat Charigim about some of their favorite records.
We talk with Yvonne Ambree and Jesse Barnes of Take Berlin about some of the records which influenced the recording of their debut EP, Lionize.

I Was Injured On My Bike, What To Do Next?
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about 700 cyclists die every year as a result of a bicycle accident involving motor vehicles, while over 32,000 people suffer injuries as a result of such collisions. Even though accidents involving bicycles and motor vehicles are fairly uncommon, they can lead to lifelong injuries for the cyclist, not to mention the terrifying experience of such an event.
Whenever you are riding your bike and are involved in a collision with a motor vehicle, there are specific steps you need to take in order to protect yourself and your ability to recover damages in a potential lawsuit. Here are some practical steps you can take.
Step 1: Get Medical Attention After a Bike Accident
If you have been injured as a result of the collision, or believe that someone else has been injured, you need to seek medical attention immediately. If you don't have a cell phone or any way to call for an ambulance, you need to ask someone else to call for help. In this situation it's best to select a specific bystander or observer and ask that person to call an ambulance. If you ask a large group of people to call, you greatly reduce the chances that someone will do as you ask.
Step 2: Make Sure You Are Safe
If the collision took place in a high-traffic area, you need to make sure that you and anyone else involved are no longer in danger. If you are capable of moving, find an area nearby where you can go so you are no longer exposed to traffic.
Step 3: File a Police Report for Your Bike Accident
Whether you are injured or not, you should make sure that you file a police report, preferably while still at the scene of the accident. If you don't need medical attention, wait for the police to arrive to investigate the accident. Even if you don't believe your bike has been damaged or you don't think you have been injured, it's important to get a police report on record. It's possible, for example, for you to not notice that you sustained an injury until several days or even weeks after the accident. If you don't file a police report and then find out later that you suffered injuries, you will make proving your case more difficult.
Step 5: Get Information
You should find out as much Information as you can about the driver and the vehicle. Ask for the driver's license and registration. If you have a camera or cell phone available, take photographs of the area, the car, the license plate, your bicycle, and any injuries. If there are any bystanders or witnesses, ask them for their contact information as well.
Step 6: Contact a Personal Injury Attorney
Even if you don't think you are entitled to recover money for the damages or injuries you suffered, you should speak to a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after you've been involved in an accident. Sitting down and talking to an attorney will give you an idea of what you might be able to recover and what your options are. It's best to contact a lawyer who has experience handling bicycle accident or personal injury cases.
The Indiana Bicycle Accident Attorneys at Glaser & Ebbs are skilled at representing clients and their family members injured in hit-and-run accidents. It often takes legal action to receive fair compensation in these cases. If the responsible party is not found, we will help you look for other coverage. Contact Glaser & Ebbs to learn more about your legal rights and options.

Maher on Hagel: Based on GOP statements 'the Israelis are controlling our government'
On Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday, the host took issue with Senate Republican's blocking of Chuck Hagel's confirmation as Secretary of Defense — actions which have been called unprecedented by Democrats, although USA Today reports that leading senators claim that they will allow a vote the week of Feb. 25.
"A Republican, let me emphasize that, a Republican, right wing senator. He's Obama's choice for Secretary of Defense — their filibustering it. This has never happened before. Fifty-eight senators voted for Hagel. One senator, Lindsay Graham (R-SC), says he wants answers about Benghazi, which has nothing to do with Chuck Hagel."
Jamie Weinstein, senior editor of the Daily Caller, argued that there were still legitimate questions that senators had about Hagel.
"Just yesterday, there was a new speech that they believe in which during the question and answer at Rutgers University, he claimed that the State Department was controlled by the Israeli government," he argued.
"Based on every statement I've heard out of any Republican in the last two years, the Israelis are controlling our government," Maher quipped.
"They're going after all his speeches, talking points, things he wrote on a napkin in the middle of the night," said Donna Brazile, author and Vice Chair of Voter Registration and Participation for the DNC.

WOODBURY — Surinder Singh was the kind of man who was always willing to help someone. He worked as a gas station attendant at Garden State Fuel for more than a decade, and in that time his customers became his friends.
Those friends recalled his life on Monday, hours after Singh, 40, was shot and killed during an attempted robbery.
One customer recalls being short of cash on occasion, so Singh would let him get gas and pay him later.
In 2008 his Crescent Avenue home burned down in an accidental fire, but he and his wife rebuilt in the same location and continued to live in the city.
He was a regular at the Colonial Diner, where he came in for dinner almost every evening and talked about his wife and two young children, but now those that knew him are reeling at what seems like a very senseless death.
Singh was working at the Garden State Fuel gas station around 9 p.m. Sunday evening when two men approached. It is believed they were attempting to rob Singh but sometime during the course of the robbery, he was shot in the chest and killed.
The perpetrators fled the scene in a small, silver car heading north on Broad Street, authorities said.
Singh's younger brother, standing outside the family's home Monday evening, was still in shock and holding back tears.
"It's so bad," said Satinder Singh, clutching flowers in his right hand. "I never even thought about something like this."
The brother, who also works at the gas station, said he had been alseep during the incident, and was awakened by police knocking on his door around 10 p.m.
That's when he heard the news.
"I'm still in shock, man," he said. "It's just us two brothers."
According to Arjun Goyal, the owner of the gas station, Singh — a native of India — has spent 14 years pumping gas at night.
"He was a very sincere, hard worker," Goyal said. "Everybody in the neighborhood likes him."
Erita Polanco, who works as a bus person at Colonial Diner — which is located right next door to the gas station — heard the gunshots Sunday night, but wasn't sure what had happened until the police informed the diner's employees a while later.
"We're very upset. We knew him so well," she said.
"I still can't believe I'll never see him again," added Eleni Mitrakos, the diner's night manager.
Angelo Arber, the owner of Arber's Lawnmower and Engine repair — also located next door to Garden State Fuel — agreed. Singh was "a very nice guy," he said, and the senseless violence right next door still hasn't quite set in.
"I feel really strange. I guess it hasn't hit me yet," he said. "He was excellent. You couldn't ask for a nicer person."
Gordon Hoard stopped by Garden State Fuel to drop off a small bouquet of flowers, which he added to a handful of arrangements, a couple of new backpacks — presumably for Singh's young children — and cards from neighbors and friends outside the station's small office.
"These are really good people," he said. "He helped a lot of people. It's just disgusting what happened."
An autopsy that was performed Monday determined Singh died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder, which was reported by a passing motorist at 9:03 p.m.
One suspect is described as a black male, approximately 150 pounds, 5 feet 7 inches tall and carrying a small handgun. Authorities provided no description of the second suspect.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Detective Greg Malesich of the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at 856-384-5626 or Detective Tom Ryan of the Woodbury Police Department at 856-845-0065. Anonymous tips can be provided by texting GLOTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

by Brian Foley
From the stairs we see a swallow dance in the grey pond of our yard. It performs the forgotten moves like Swimming-with-Pockets-Full-of-Sand, the Lonesome Gymnast, and the Elbow. I think it might be sick, but you swear you've seen those moves before on a beach in Malibu. I have been few places other than the stairs. There is a hush music on the air we can't hear but bob our heads pretending we can. It is only when he stops squirming for a moment I notice the bird's shadow. It is a long, tall shadow - bigger than the outline of an oak tree, and wider than the shade of our tenement. It is a shadow much too big for a small bird. And it keeps growing outward into the street, into other yards. Some neighboring birds in a nearby bath are dimmed to disappearance. We hear their cries until we don't anymore. It swallows the ugly house across the street and the good looking house next to it. I worry about my Honda Civic parked down the street, but you are wiser than that. You declare the bird as some sort of voodoo priest, the dances not a celebration for our benefit but dark rituals. Suddenly there is a tiny bone in its beak I had not noticed before, a miniature headdress materializing on its crown. You get real quiet, as if struggling to remember the last name of a one night stand in college. Then you stand and move to startle it, beating your arms like a bigger bird. The bird takes off into the air and you along with it in pursuit, a pair in chase casting a thick blood over the region. Streetlights come on and a damp vulnerability sets it. That is when we finally hear the music and enter a new age, where we will live in anxiety underneath an ocean of a trillion swallows swarming overhead.

This month, Blog for Family Dinner founders will reflect back on some lessons learned from our B4FD guest bloggers over the past year.
Family dinner is a wonderful way for kids and families to stay connected; that's something we at B4FD talk about all the time. I believe that family dinner also has the potential to improve the broad health of society. Family dinner has been shown to be effective in addressing many health challenges ranging from childhood obesity to risky behaviors in teens to self-esteem issues to adolescent depression. Coming from a background in public health, that's one reason family dinner resonates with me. A positive health intervention that can change the lives of millions for little to no cost? Something that, once your family gets into the routine of it, can be fun, rewarding and good-for-you? Family dinner is the opposite of medicine, but it has the potential to bolster the health of our nation, especially our children. Yes, it's that important.
So, my B4FD reflection centers on Elizabeth Brotherton's (PreventObesity.net) post, Keeping Kids Healthy, One Meal at a Time. Her post captures the "touch-feely" reasons for embracing family dinner as well as citing the scientific research that backs this "gut" feeling many of us have. She writes
…it's often those memories of time at the table with my own family that keeps me motivated. In my gut, I know that people are more likely to have a healthier relationship with food if they spend time with it —preparing it, serving it, taking time to eat it (rather than just shoving it down from the drive thru).
As it turns out, my instincts are backed by scientific research. A growing body of evidence shows that children who regularly eat meals with their family are less likely to be obese.
In one major national study, 4-year-old children who ate dinner with their family six or seven days a week had a 25 percent lower risk of obesity compared to kids who ate dinner with their family less frequently. Other studies also have found that adolescents who regularly eat family meals are less likely to be obese.
Read Elizabeth's full post here: Keeping Kids Healthy, One Meal at a Time
Today, Monday September 24, 2012 is also CASA's Family Day, established over a decade ago as a way to remind parents that family dinner was an effective way to stay connected with their kids. CASA research has shown many times over that frequent family dinners reduce the likelihood that teens will engage in risky behaviors, as well as improving family relationships and performance at school. CASA's Family Day is an important campaign we champion at B4FD, though we know reducing illegal drug and alcohol use among teens is just one of the important benefits of family dinner. Family meals can mean happier, healthier families and a healthier society as well, and that's something to celebrate!

You may know a lot when it comes to wedding planning and marriage. But there may be a few things that still take you by surprise, as these four women can attest. Here, they share what they wished they'd known before they said "yes."
I wish I'd known: Marriage doesn't fix your problems.
Says Jennie, "I wish I had known that getting married will not fix the problems in your relationship. If you're having problems before the wedding, don't assume that they are caused by wedding planning or will go away after you say 'I do.' If anything, it will only exacerbate them."
I wish I'd known: How much work wedding planning really is
Says Audrey, "The one thing I wish I had known when I got engaged was just how much of my life planning a wedding was going to take up. Before you get engaged, your wedding is all conceptual in your mind and doesn't seem like such a big undertaking. But once it was really happening, it basically became a part-time job. Every weekend was filled with a wedding activity, my weekdays were filled with e-mailing vendors, making phone calls, meeting with vendors, and more. Looking back I can certainly think of a few ways I would have organized a bit differently, or started on certain projects earlier."
See More: 3 Wedding Planning Moments You Should Celebrate
I wish I'd known: Marriage is ups and downs
Says Chantay, "Before I got engaged, I wish I knew the roller coaster life would take us on. You start out on one ride, and all of a sudden there's this sudden rush into the air and you drop way down while holding your breath and going through a tunnel. I didn't see it coming. I wish I had been more prepared for the adjustments, the highs and the lows, because the element of surprise sometimes can be frightening."
I wish I'd known: Even when you live together first, it still feels different
Says Tiffany, "Because my husband and I lived together for nearly two years before we got married, I expected that not much would change after we did finally get married. Oh, how wrong I was. While we didn't have any big revelations with our living situation like other couples might, how we felt for one another definitely changed. Our love and bond felt stronger, and the idea of being someone's partner took on a whole different meaning. If I had known our love would grow like that, I would have reveled in it and been more excited for it before the big day!"

"From the very first meet and greet, Jessica made us feel exceptionally comfortable and at ease. We will be forever grateful for No Place Like Home Companion Care, and the caregiving relief it has provided for our family."
Marlene, Bowmanville ON
"My father was leery about getting an extra hand around the house when my siblings and I first mentioned our concerns. Jessica was very understanding when we first made contact and let her know that dad was not on board yet. Her patience, compassion, and professionalism made him feel very comfortable and never made him feel he was loosing his independence. We are so pleased to have piece of mind that dad is well taken care of, and really enjoying the home care he is receiving."
Will, Newcastle ON
"I hope you know how greatly you are appreciated. I have sought out NUMEROUS home care providers to aid in the care of my husband who as been struggling since his stroke 10 years ago. Your wide variety of services, including companionship have been an immense help to my daughter and I. Something as small as coming home to a clean, organized home, and groceries in the fridge makes the absolute world of difference when coming home after a long 12 hour shift."
Barbra, Whitby ON
"No Place Like Home really goes the extra mile! The first consultation we had my two dogs were not to sure how they felt about welcoming someone new into our home. The second visit, my dogs were brought delicious little treats that just won them over, as well as won me over! That small gesture made my decision very easy."
Margret, Bowmanville ON
