In December 2016 the current liberal Government mexicoof Canada headed by Prime Minister Trudeau removed a visa requirement for Mexican travelers which had been in place since 2009. It was originally implemented to reduce the amount of immigrants either applying for refugee status in Canada or using the country as their ticket to the USA. However since the removal of said visa requirement the number of Mexican tourists to Canada has risen drastically thanks in great part to the new, easy eTA system and it has not yet seen an alarming increase in applications for permanent immigration.
Reasons for the increase in Mexican tourists
The eTA, similar to the ESTA in the USA, is the Canadian online visa application system for tourists, now officially available to eligible Mexican citizens in Spanish, allowing travel to Canada without a visa. It is a visa-waiver program which permits the holder to enter Canada multiple times during a 5 year validity period.
As well as the eTA visa-waiver system, the rise in vacationing Mexicans in Canada could be a response to the newly-elected US president, Donald Trump. His political stance on relations between the US and Mexico including border control, trade agreements and immigration enforcement are well-known the world over and along with his idea of building a wall traversing the border of the two countries, Mexicans cannot be blamed for wanting to avoid a possible hostile atmosphere during their vacations.
Vacations in Canada for Mexicans
In several cases, tourists who may have initially traveled to the US for their vacations are being put off by Trump and looking elsewhere, to the extent that some tourists have canceled US vacations to later be rescheduled in Canadian territory. One Mexico City plastic surgeon confirmed he had been more inclined to seek out a more hospitable climate to spend his time and money, which led to a new vacation in the Canadian Rockies.
While a Mexican citizen, resident of Whistler, Canada, stated that "people [in Canada] are welcoming and say great things about the [Mexican] culture" whereas he feels the atmosphere is not the same in the US.
Additionally, Justin Trudeau had planned to promote tourism in Canada while establishing a new market for Canadian beef and prior to the inauguration of President Trump, the Mexican Government had been working on improving relations between their two great countries which according to Mexico's ambassador to Canada, Agustin Garcia-Lopez Loaeza, has been the case with current relations "better than ever".
There are several other factors that could be a part of the reason for the increment in Mexican tourists in Canada including the weaker Canadian dollar when compared to the US dollar as well as the increase in flights available from AeroMexico to various locations in Canada, established when the visa requirement was lifted.
Facts and Figures
The surge in Mexican tourists visiting Canada has been demonstrated by government figures showing an incredible 70% increase in December 2016 compared to December 2015, just one year prior, when a tourism visa was still a necessity for Mexicans. The rise from around 18 thousand tourists to an outstanding 30 thousand the following year proves that whatever the reason, the number of Mexicans traveling to Canada is sure to grow.

Happy Sunday friends!
This is such a great verse & the best reminder of God's goodness and grace and honestly a reminder that no matter where we are in our faith journey that we ALL need his mercy. (And how thankful that his mercy NEVER comes to an end.)
I had an experience last night which reminded me deeply how thankful I am for God's grace. When we think about our day to day, how many times do we unintentionally small (or sometimes big) things that could cause people to say "but I thought she loved the Lord?" I mean, I can get pretty aggressive in traffic, and though it might sound silly, does how I am acting align with my love for the Lord? After a run in last night where I was on the other side of that situation, it made me think about my actions & if it all aligns. And then I was insanely thankful for God's grace, and that every day is a fresh chance for his mercy! It's new every morning and what a blessing that is!
I hope y'all have the sweetest Sunday ❤

The Start of Something Wonderful, Jane Lambert
The Start of Something Wonderful, Jane Lambert
Genre: romance, women's fiction
Gah! Women's fiction – how I hate that we have a whole genre for women, why dismiss books as being of interest to men….what price equality when we segregate ourselves. Rant over ;-0
So, I really wanted to like this book, its got a lead character who's older, and as someone older myself that's always interesting to find. Choosing a huge career change too was going to be interesting to read I thought.
Sadly though I felt sorry for Emily I just didn't like her, found her friends gossipy, the humour felt forced and trying a little too hard and her trials on the way to acting were just plain hard going. What should have been fun to read became a chore for me and I didn't finish. Sorry. I can see from Goodreads that others love this, and that's great, but for me it wasn't one that worked.
Stars: Two, DNF, some stories I love and others just don't fit my taste, sadly this was one of those. Perfect for many readers, the story was fine it just wasn't one that suited me.

Congrats to Va. But that was the weakest championship run by a top seed in tourney history. By far. They basically lost two games along the way, and needed OT twice.

Sunday Feb 10, 2019
DUBAI: The International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde in her meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that economic reforms would enable Pakistan to restore the resilience of its economy and lay the foundations for stronger and more inclusive growth.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday met with Christine Lagarde on the sidelines of the World Government Summit in Dubai.
In a statement issued by Lagarde it said that "I had a good and constructive meeting with Prime Minister Khan, during which we discussed recent economic developments and prospects for Pakistan in the context of ongoing discussions toward an IMF-supported program.
"I reiterated that the IMF stands ready to support Pakistan. I also highlighted that decisive policies and a strong package of economic reforms would enable Pakistan to restore the resilience of its economy and lay the foundations for stronger and more inclusive growth. As emphasized in the new government's policy agenda, protecting the poor and strengthening governance are key priorities to improve people's living standards in a sustainable manner."
Pakistan is seeking its 13th bailout since the late 1980s to deal with a current account deficit that threatens to trigger a balance of payments crisis, but talks have been delayed by difficulties in reconciling IMF reform demands with Islamabad's fears the push is too drastic and could hurt economic growth.
The premier is in Dubai on a day-long visit, on the invitation of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum to participate in the seventh edition of the World Government Summit. He is accompanied by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umar, Minister for Maritime Affairs Syed Ali Haider Zaidi and Adviser to the PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood.
This annual gathering of heads of states/government, policymakers, business leaders and experts will provide an occasion to discuss current and future opportunities to improve governance through reform, innovation and technology.
Officials had expected talks to conclude in November but they have been delayed as Islamabad harbours concerns that the programme could derail the economy and Khan's plans for his term in office.
Pakistan has in the meantime sought financial assistance from Middle Eastern allies such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who have loaned it in excess of $10 billion to ease the pressure on its dwindling foreign currency reserves.
The IMF talks come amid a worsening macroeconomic outlook, with growth expectations slashed for the current fiscal year to about 4 per cent from 6 per cent previously forecast.
On Saturday, Pakistan also revised its growth figures for the last financial year to 5.2 per cent from a previously reported 5.8 per cent, after a sharp cut in the figure for large-scale manufacturing, the statistics office said.
When the original estimate was reported in April by the government of Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi it was hailed as the strongest growth in 13 years.
Before the revisions to last year's GDP figures, Pakistan's deficit to GDP ratio, estimated at 5.8 per cent in 2017-18, was expected to hit 6.9 per cent this year, according to IMF data.
During his visit to Dubai, PM Imran underscored Pakistan's strong interest in the knowledge economy, artificial intelligence, green development and the importance of innovation for growth.
In his keynote address at the summit, the premier highlighted his vision for a strong and prosperous Pakistan. He will encourage investment in different sectors of Pakistan economy.

"Please teach Lil General (LG) how to talk in Tamil" was numero uno in the list of advice on child rearing given by the old and wise at home. Just a little background the lingual environment that LG will be exposed to:
- My mother tongue : Tamil
- LG's dad's (The Seniol) mother tongue : Bengali
- LG's dad speaks with his dad in : Punjabi (as he grew up in Punjab)
- I talk with LG's dad in : English and Hindi
- Language of the environment : Marathi (we live in Pune)
That makes it 6 languages which I think is too much for a kid and am scared he would end up conversing fluently in none, let alone mastering the language. The problem gets compounded as LG's parents can't both talk in either of the their mother tongues. It would have been much simpler then to say one language at home. I am intimidated by thoughts of he talking with me in Marathi, Bengali and Tamil all in one sentence or what if he asks "Pa's language or ma's?".
Close to five months, his cooing is slowly giving way to imitating sounds. Whoever sees him comments that the boy would learn how to talk faster, of course, that's one thing he ought to have got from his dad who talks non-stop and when there's an opportunity chance his momma is quick to jump in too.
"Multilingual environment affects a child's IQ."
"He will not learn how talk properly even in one language and get confused all the time".
"He is going to make a khichdi of all the languages".
"Talk to him in just one language".
Enough unsolicited advice from neighbors and friends alike has put me on a war footing to find the facts associated with raising children in a multilingual environment. The only fact I know is "Kids learn fast and you can train them like a doggy." This has put me further on a edge and instead of confusing the child anymore by talking in umpteen languages at home, I decided to do a little research on how cognitive abilities are affected or improved when they grow up in a bilingual and multilingual environment.
My idea was to draw up an action plan and stick to it that will help LG learn and converse with his parents and other family members comfortably.
- One person, one language. From the day LG was born, I've been talking to him in Tamil. So that leaves The Seniol to decide which one he would opt for - Hindi, Punjabi or Bengali. Since LG's exposure to Punjabi is going to be very limited and a language cannot be learnt unless and until it is spoken to the kid at least 30% of his waking time, Hindi becomes an imminent choice as The Seniol's lingual skills in Bengali can be contested :). His paternal grandparents will speak to him only in Bengali. Family agreement is the essential ingredient as one language becomes the secret language for the other and fear of exclusion in certain circumstances sets in. You are left wondering if you are being discussed. That will never happen in our case so we'll do what's beneficial for the child.
- Language of his vacation : LG's exposure to Tamil will be only through me. So it becomes imperative that I use other mediums to teach him the language such as videos, audios, books, rhymes etc etc. This will also be a language that he will get to hear a lot during his vacation.
- Minority language: I'm not too concerned about if and when he learns Marathi for that is an involuntary process that will happen with his exposure to the outside world - when friends and neighbors talk in the languages, kids will pick it up. And that's going to happen when he is at least 2-3 years old. Who knows if we would still be around in Pune?
- Language his ma/pa talk in : Kids observe and correlate in what language their parents talk. So it is important for The Seniol and I to decide that we always talk in Hindi. Mixing English and Hindi in the initial years will not do any good, is my opinion. That way the languages he will get exposed to the most will be Tamil, Hindi and Bengali in that order.
- English comes naturally to kids and should not be matter of concern.
- No more gibberish and kunju stuff for him. Only words that make sense until I feel totally invulnerable when he smiles sweetly at me or paints his cerelac all over his face and still smiles as if he doesn't know a thing. That's when I can't control calling him kunju and talking words that make absolutely no sense.
Multilingual households in today's times is not an uncommon phenomenon. I would like to hear of your success stories that will help me teach LG better.

Published on the occasion of their major retrospective at Museum Arnhem, this book presents four decades of work by the inseparable Clemens Rameckers and Arnold van Geuns, better known as the design duo Ravage.Early on, it became clear that the art direction of the fashionable Rameckers would match the visual talent of the tradition-savvy Van Geuns, and that one's inventiveness would complement the insight of the other, sparking an unbridled curiosity which would lead them to develop a distinctive partnership. Through numerous images and a range of contributions, a magnificent overview of their body of work from the 1970s to the present emerges.

As discussed in this space last week, Reggie Brown, the Obama impersonator, was cut off in mid-performance--mid-Michele Bachmann joke, in fact--at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans last weekend. You can read my interview with him here. Good guy. Guess I wasn't the only one curious about his act--specifically, that part of it he didn't get to deliver. Brown made a surprise appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday night, and delivered (with an assist from the show's writing staff, I suspect) the rest of his act, which you can see right here:

After Care Recommendations from Larisa
- For the next 24 hours after your appointment:
Do not get your new eyelashes wet for 24 hours
- Avoid: washing face, swimming, showers/steamy showers, hot tubs, saunas, sweating, spray tans, wearing contacts, steam from opening oven/barbeque or outside during a humid day.
Regular daily care for your new eyelashes:
Be gentle with your lashes Avoid rubbing, tugging and pulling on your extensions.
Avoid using oil-based products or products with high alcohol content around the eye area:
Products such as these can potentially break down the adhesive bond and shorten the time your extensions stay on.
Foundations, cream concealers, cream eyeliners, etc on your lids will reduce the bond on your lashes.
Make sure products used around the eye area are oil free or powders.
Keep your lashes clean of natural oils and don't let makeup build up on your lashes.
Use a cleanser formulated for eyelash extensions or baby shampoo. Baby shampoo is tearless, oil-free, will not irritate the eyes and is gentle on the skin. DIY Baby shampoo: In an empty foam pump place for 1/3 baby shampoo and ⅔ distilled water.
Cleanse every day. If you have oily skin cleanse morning and night.
Pump cleanser into your hand, use a clean, small, fluffy makeup brush to gently clean lashes and lid in a gentle circular motion. Rinse the brush with water and then use the brush to rinse your lashes.
Dry lashes using a hair dryer on a cool setting, or use a fibre less cloth like a paper towel to "blot blink" them dry.
Comb lashes to finish, never let them dry without combing.
Avoid using towels, Q-tips, cotton pads on your new lashes, the tiny fibres will get in your eyelashes and can pull off the extensions.
Sleep: Sleep is hard on your lashes. Sleep on your back as much as possible.
Use a contoured sleep mask to protect your lashes during sleep. The contour won't crush your lashes or restrict eye movement.
A satin pillowcase is smooth and will lessen tugging and pulling on lashes. A satin pillowcase is great for our hair, skin less wrinkles 😉
Re-lash/Fill appointment every 2-3 weeks to maintain the best look of your lashes.
You shed 3-5 lashes a day so the longer you wait in between appointments the more lashes you shed. An appointment after four weeks will require more time and product and an additional cost will be required, this is called a Fill plus.
Avoid Mascara. Mascara and especially waterproof mascara is not recommended and repeated use of mascara will shorten the life of your extensions and cause premature shedding of your extensions.
If you use mascara, use it sparingly and never apply from base to tip. Use as specifically formulated mascara for eyelash extensions. Using mascara near the adhesive bond will make cleansing this area difficult which will require excessive rubbing and pulling of extensions. A buildup of makeup at the base of the lashes will cause eye irritation and premature shedding of the lashes.
Working Out/Heavy exercise Wear a headband to collect sweat that could run into lashes. This sweat will contain toxins and any face products such as foundations, moisturizer or sunscreen and will reduce the life of your lashes.
Avoid eyelash curlers Using an eyelash curler will compromise the bond and will damage natural lashes.
Do not remove lashes yourself, please make an appointment with me and we will remove them safely 😉

Psychology is the science that seeks the study and understanding of human behavior. We work from the understanding of the individual as a whole; where present factors as well as past experiences will constitute the person, child or adult today. In order to make a thorough assessment, we take into account the emotional experiences of the person, their relationships with others, their communication skills and their cognitive abilities such as attention, perception, memory and executive functions. We will always propose a treatment that considers the child, their family or the adult individual needs. Belonging to a transdisciplinary team, we will often work jointly with other clinicians addressing different issues. Confidentiality and a non-judgemental approach are some of the key aspects of our interventions.
Our work with adults aims to help them to feel more satisfied with their lives.
Past experiences which have been processed negatively and life events that have marked a turning point in our ways, will undoubtedly determine our emotions, our thoughts and therefore our actions.
Our therapeutic approach is holistic as we do not only work with emotions, but also with cognition and behavior.
Mourning, experiences of loss, general dissatisfaction with life, separation, generalized anxiety, stress, relationships conflicts, parenting issues or simply wanting a personal growth and help to succeed, are some of the issues we usually work with.
Depending on the need and preference of the adult, we can work in a more dynamic, systemic, cognitive-behavioral or psychoanalytic psychotherapy way.
When working with children, we assess their cognitive, emotional and social abilities, as well as their personality. We identify their strongest and more resilient skills but we also assess their difficulties and challenges when learning and developing.
Our goal is to assess, identify and intervene in the best possible way, helping parents and schools to operate from a shared approach and understanding of the child as a whole
It is important to support, to set boundaries, to teach new ways, and most importantly, to motivate the child and the young people so they embrace their happiness, self confidence and wellbeing.
Communication is one of the most important and complex acts of the human being. It allows us to exchange information with other people, relate to our environment, share our feelings and ideas and coexist within a specific social and cultural system. "Communicating is not just talking, there are many ways to communicate." We can define the Speech Therapy as the science that is responsible for studying, understanding and analyzing the processes of human communication, the disorders that may arise in this area and the resources to prevent and treat them.
The speech therapist is responsible for preventing, detecting, diagnosing, predicting, orienting and treating the pathologies and alterations of human communication. When we speak of alterations in communication, we refer to disorders of voice, speech, oral and written language, hearing and disorders related to swallowing. The main objective of the speech therapist is to optimize the communication capacity of their patients, thus obtaining an improvement in their quality of life. In order to achieve this goal, speech therapists use educational and rehabilitative techniques to provide individualized answers to each patient.
Speech therapy is not limited to a specific age, since it intervenes in all stages of life. The dysfunctions in the communicative field can appear both at early ages and at older ages. It is recommended that the speech therapist be part of a transdisciplinary team and work in coordination with other professionals in the health, education and social field. Working transdisciplinarily allows us to approach the child from its globality and from its underlying abilities, taking into account its development in all areas. The physiotherapist, the psychologist, the occupational therapist, the physical therapist or a music psychotherapist can help the speech therapist achieve the success of the therapy of the patients, being this fast and effective.
Occupational therapy is a health discipline that promotes the health and well-being of the person through occupation. We understand as "occupation" practical activities with a purpose that allow people to live independently and acquire a sense of identity.
Occupational therapists work with all age ranges, adapting their interventions to individual needs. Therefore, for an adult their "occupations" could be the use of the restroom, taking care of the house, the realization of leisure activities or work. In the case of a child it can be playing in the park with friends, washing hands, going to the bathroom, cut with scissors, or learn, among others. In addition to teaching or rehabilitating, the skills necessary to carry out people's daily occupations, occupational therapists also focus much of their work on identifying and eliminating environmental barriers that facilitate learning or rehabilitation.
Some of the techniques that occupational therapists use in their interventions are the methods of Sensorial Integration and Bobath, among others.
Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy is a health specialty dedicated to the prevention, treatment and stabilization of all people. Everyone can enjoy the benefits regardless of how old we are.
One of the major areas of physiotherapy is pediatric, aimed at the child and which encompasses different areas. We can distinguish the traumatological, psychomotor stimulation, neurological and respiratory areas. These interventions always take into account the global nature of the child and family in question, since Tot Teràpia likes to work with a team made up of different professionals, carrying out a transdisciplinary approach.
Physiotherapy offers the child the possibility of experiencing movement in an appropriate way, facilitating optimal movement patterns, muscle strength and ensuring that patterns do not appear with an incorrect alignment during sustained postures. A correct postural control will facilitate an improvement of the function. In addition, it will facilitate the child's play, this being an essential activity by which children explore their environment and learn from everything that surrounds them.
The ideal treatment starts in an early stage and is continuous, with guidelines and empowerment for families, who are an essential part of the treatment.
Physiotherapy is also dedicated to those children and adults with a neurological diagnosis, who have some type of affectation in their daily life and which can often be improved with physiotherapy. It is fundamental that children who need extra care, receive stimulation in the early childhood stage.
We also talk about respiratory physiotherapy. This aspect of physiotherapy is not painful, has no negative side effects and also needs the collaboration of each child's family. The objectives are: improve oxygenation, drain secretions, facilitate respiratory work, train respiratory capacity and inform and help families. It is aimed at people with problems such as: pneumonia, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, upper respiratory tract, allergies, neuro-muscular problems, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, bronchiectasis, atelectasis (collapsed lung), etc. In general, problems with an increase in the mucus.
At Tot Teràpia we combine this with nutrition, as well as other therapies, depending on the case and whenever necessary.
The sessions can be performed at the time of acuteness where the primary objective will be to drain secretions. This can also be done in patients prone to recurrent bronchitis or other pathologies that occur with mucus as a habit of cleaning, maintenance and prevention, to avoid relapses. We adapt the techniques that we use to the age patient, the pathology, previous anamnesis and auscultation of the patient.
Music therapy is an additional therapy to traditional medicine that uses music and its elements (rhythm, harmony and melody) in a therapeutic process of prevention, rehabilitation or treatment.
Through music therapy, the person can communicate through sounds, through the creation of a safe space of interpersonal relationship, especially suitable for a therapeutic process. The main objective of music therapy is to improve the quality of life of people. From a musicocentric orientation of music therapy, the intervention of the therapist, as a facilitator of change, focuses on the patient in order to establish a therapeutic relationship with music based on music as a means of communication and expression.
Babies, children, adolescents, adults and elderly people can benefit from music therapy. The ideal patients are people, with or without cognitive impairment, with a certain musical interest, although without the need to have previous musical knowledge, derived to music therapy by the interdisciplinary team of Tot Teràpia. Music allows us to reach where words can not, and its therapeutic use can bring benefits in the physical, cognitive, emotional and social areas of people. Music stimulates the two cerebral hemispheres simultaneously, something that does not happen with the majority of activities that people usually perform, and is able to activate the neural circuits associated with happiness, reward and pleasure.
Through music the person can show his personality, overcoming the barriers of social conventions or language, enhancing the healthy part of his own being because the person is neither his diagnosis nor the problems associated with it. Music therapy can act in areas as diverse as the prevention and promotion of health, self-knowledge, treatment and rehabilitation, social integration, pregnancy and early stimulation and the end of life (accompaniment to death), between others.
Some of the applications of music therapy are:
The study of body biochemistry and nutrition allows us to understand what is happening at a chemical / physical level within our body. Body biochemistry is based on the concept that every living being needs certain chemical reactions and metabolic processes to obtain its equilibrium, and to function optimally. Any alteration in this balance has a high impact on our organism.
According to the World Health Oraginzation (WHO), 40% of oncological pathologies are related to food, as well as coronary diseases, diabetes, obesity and overweight, etc. If our body has all the nutrients necessary for its optimal functioning, the medical and therapeutic protocols will act more effectively. The better the conditions of our organism, the better our capacity for healing and regeneration will be. Our body will be more receptive to other treatments.
For this reason it is so important to plan good nutrition before any treatment.
In Tot Teràpia we offer you full advice:
The objective is to understand that Nutrition is a key piece in the good result of any treatment.
It is aimed at:
"Let your food be your best medicine"

text: 20 Oct 2008 statement from the Russian Federation to the United states in relation to an alleged letter from the McCain campaign requesting a financial contrbution from Russia: "We have received a letter from Senator John McCain requesting financial contribution to his Presidential campaign. In this connection we would like to reiterate that Russian officials, the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations or the Russian Government do not finance political activity in foreign countries." It's no wonder why John McCain is pushing for war with Russia up until this moment, because a document regarding McCain and Russia released by Wikileaks could land the known traitor in Prison. Seems like John McCain was super friendly with Russia nearly ten years ago, as it looks like he illegally accepted who knows how much in donations from Russia for his 2008 Presidential bid...Which violates the FECA Act by the way. So now that this information has come out from Wikileaks regarding Russian contributions to McCain's 2008 Presidential bid, we could now possibly witness the end of John "Songbird" McCain if President Trump and his DOJ decides to act on this felony committed by John McCain. Funny how the Soros Republican John McCain pushes for war with Russia, when he is illegally accepting money from Russia for his political campaigns. This is likely why McCain has been hell bent on Russian involvement for President Trump and war with Russia, when it's actually John McCain who is the one taking part in Russian involvement. John McCain has once again situated himself involved in treason, by working with the Russian government to fund his 2008 Presidential bid...Which unlike Trump wasn't about America First.

Herpes is a very annoying disease that affects millions of people around the globe. It's worth mentioning that this is a contagious disease transmitted via contact. In the early stages, herpes causes redness and swelling in the affected area – mouth, nose, facial area, genital area, and/or buttocks. After that, it causes cold sores. Thanks to modern science and traditional medicine, some manufacturers were able to create natural remedies for the treatment of herpes. Herpeset is an excellent example of a successful product in this category.
Herpeset is one of the most used products for fighting herpes today. It's been present on the market for a few years, and it has already helped hundreds of people. Herpeset represents a homeopathic blend of different kinds of medicinal herbs that were used for easing the symptoms associated with herpes for many years – burning sensation, itching, inflammation, swelling, redness, etc. It comes in the form of an oral liquid spray. To feel the best results, users are advised to use Herpeset two or even three times a day. Just like many other products of this type, Herpeset is applied right under the tongue for better and faster absorption.
As we have already mentioned, this product is sprayed orally. In other words, people absorb the content of Herpest sublingually. It turns out that this is the best way for the natural ingredients found in it to enter the bloodstream and provide quicker results. Since it is avoiding the digestive tract, you should not feel any problems there. The secret behind Herpeset's success is in its content. After years of hard work and commitment, the scientists were able to create a product that includes the right amount of all the best natural ingredients that can help patients fight herpes.
It takes some time to witness the first results.
Instead of using remedies based on chemical ingredients, you can count on an entirely natural product like Herpeset. The results in your fight against herpes may not be instant, but they will occur eventually.

Born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell, the up-and-coming, 15 year-old, Los Angeles, CA-based singer/songwriter and pop artist Billie Eilish can trace the origins of her musical career to when the homeschooled O'Connell joined the Los Angeles Children's Chorus when she was 8, where she perfected and honed her vocal abilities, and then when she was 11, she began writing and singing her own songs, much like her brother Finneas, who had been writing and performing his own original songs with his band. Interestingly, by 2015, the siblings had written and released two songs together on SoundCloud — "sHE's brOKen," and "Fingers Crossed,' which were released for fun and to have their friends listen to.
As the story goes, in late 2015, Finneas O'Connell tells his sister of a song he had been playing with his band, "Ocean Eyes." Billie recorded the song and sent it to her dance teacher, who hoped to choreograph a dance to it. Released on SoundCloud the following year, under the name Billie Eilish, "Ocean Eyes" quickly became a viral hit, and along with follow-up single "Six Feet Under," the young, Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and pop artist developed a growing fanbase. With an official release, through Darkroom and Interscope Records in late 2016 to critical applause from the likes of Stereogum and others, Eilish was sensation — an building upon a growing profile, she released an EP featuring four remixes of "Ocean Eyes."
This year has proven to be an even bigger year than last, as she released her highly-anticipated and critically applauded debut EP, dont smile at me, which has received attention both nationally and internationally, thanks to sold out, headlining tours across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, a number of national daytime and late night television appearances here in the States, as well as being named VEVO dscvr Artist To Watch 2018, longlisted for BBC's Sound of 2018 and a spot in Apple's Up Next Artist campaign.
Just on the heels of an announcement of a lengthy 2018 world tour, which includes a March 23, 2018 set at The Mercury Lounge, Eilish released her latest single "bitches broken hearts," a soulful and incredibly self-assured yet swooning track that features Eilish's sultry cooing over a contemporary production featuring arpeggiated synths, stuttering drum programming and percussion — and while sonically, the song nods at both 90s neo soul and contemporary electro pop, the song is actually an ode to the bitterness of lost love and the excitement of fresh starts, even if its dysfunctional and fucked up.

Lots of hype and bluster but we'll find out the fact at 12.00 GMT 2 Nov
Will they/won't they hikes rates today ? If so is it a one-off or start
of a series of hikes ? How much of either is already factored in?
questions and more will be answered in the aftermath of today's
announcement at 12.00 GMT. I stand by my view that no-hike is still a
possibility but if we are to get a 0.25% rise, as is widely expected,
then it's a one-off to reverse the knee-jerk cut post-Brexit and largely
factored in so GBP gains will be limited after a quick jump higher.
Not only a correction to that cut but also a need to create wiggle room for a cut again if/when the next crisis ( Brexit or otherwise) comes to pass. Saving face in the wake of recent comments also a factor but that's never seemingly bothered Carney before in a CB career in which he has never once pushed the hike button. On that note and previous BOE rhetoric I find the notion of a 0.5% hike, albeit one favoured by some eminent economists, not a real possibility.
Will Carney finally push the hike button?
Recent data hasn't justified a rate hike and the BOE have already said they see inflation peaking around now and c.3% so why hike now? The answer to it all might well lay in the latest BOE inflation report which is also due at 12.00 GMT . An upward revision to previous forecasts/view may well be a good reason/excuse for them to pull the trigger today. Little point waiting until Dec or Jan.
I said last week that we needed so see where we are this morning before making any prediction/crystal-ball guesses and so at 1.3250 from a 1.3070-1.3322 range since I can foresee a top around 1.3400-50 and base around 1.3050-1.3100.
No greater moves I hear you cry? Well, I don't see what is going to shake it up much further than that even with the algos in full fettle. So they don't hike today but signal one coming soon again then we'll head toward the lows in a rush but the more I read that traders/bots have factored in a hike and see limited gains the more I sense the market is already shorter than a week or so ago and therefore there will be demand in the dips to limit excessive losses
Conversely the market seems poised to sell the rally so that should limit gains even if they do signal this is the start of a gradual tightening as they have hinted at previously. Bluff and counter bluff as to where the market currently sits and how much, and what, is really factored in.
Brexit remains an unknown and the UK govt is currently in an even weaker position with May and her ministers trying to operate with a tight/flimsy majority in parliament and under ever- threatening scrutiny. Fallon's resignation as Defence Secretary could be just the tip of the iceberg.
So conjecture reigns supreme today once again. Ours is not to reason why, ours is just to sell and buy, or indeed buy and sell if that's your preference/the outcome. Don't burn up excess energy now. Take a chill pill, stop second guessing and just get ready with your preferred entry/exit levels as the algo-led moves unfold.
You know that part, at least, is in your control, and remember,

Humility, discard bread
I know very well not to place 2 loaves close to each other or they will "burst" on the adjacent sides. So why in the world did I line up 4 pans of discard bread across the oven shelf? They were almost touching, and yup, each one burst open. I had 4 cups of starter and made the dough a little softer than usual - and the crumb is light and tender. I also decided to bake them from cold and the bottom crusts are very dark Hopefully the neighbors won't be too critical. My only excuse is a rotten cough and cold which must have affected my thinking, A.

BLE Adapter User Guide
BLE adapter, one of ElecFreaks BLE series items, can enable you to upload code by BLE wireless. At the same time, it is a USB – TTL adapter. Adopting TI CC2540 chip with 256 KB space, the BLE module can use BLE technology through the simple IO control, between the module and mobile, also between the module and module. The BLE module has both Master and Slave Mode, with the command control, through the serial port capable of switching module master-slave role, capable of configuring the serial port baud rate, capable of modifying the module radio name, capable of modifying the broadcast interval and the connection interval. Using this module, users can quickly transmit data in the form of Bluetooth packet. BLE Adapter can cooperate with our BLEduino Main board. Download the document here.
1. Hardware and Software Description
- USB cable
- BLE adapter
- BLEduino
- Arduino IDE
- Serial port debugging software (sscom32E)
2. Operating steps
Part 1 BLEduino Wireless Programming with the BLE Adapter
Step 1 Install the driver
When connect the BLE Adapter to the computer, the computer will prompt to install driver, follow the prompts to install it( the way to install the driver is the same with Arduino UNO and the Driver Name is TI CC2540 Drivers).
Step 2 Master Computer searched Slave Computer and then connected to Slave
Connect the BLE Adapter(Defaulted as Master), BLEduino(Defaulted as Slave)to the computer. Via serial port debugging software, open the serial port of master and Slave, and then master send AT SCAN+ Enter to search Slave, just as the following screenshot shows
After the Master searched the Slave, the Master send AT CON 1 + Enter to connect the Slave, and the Slave can get the Master Return Value of connected. If connection is successful,at the same time, BLEduino link LED will stop blinking and be always lit.
Step 3 BLE Adapter(Master) Programming for BLEduino (Slave)
- After the Master connected to the Slave,open the program need to be uploaded via Arduino IDE, choose the corresponding Board of UNO,and then choose the BLE Adapter (Master) Serial Port
2. Compiling sketch until Done compiling appears
3. Uploading sketch until Done uploading appears (when uploading, TX, RX LED will be blinking)
4. This is just a simple way to use BLE Adapter cooperated with BLEduino, and later on other application will be released in our BBS.
Part 2 BLE Adapter Using Ways as the USB-TTL Adapter
Step 1 Switching Mode
Switching from the board defaulted CC2540 programming mode to USB-TTL mode. Concrete switching way is that on the back of the module, put the DC switch to TX, DD switch to the RX
Step 2 Wiring and Programming
BLE Adapter function is similar to that of Bee Adapter, and the wiring method is the same: Both methods use the following five pins,VCC GND TX RX DTR (Wiring ways: VCC->VCC GND->GND DTR->DTR TX->RX RX->TX). After wiring, the BLE Adapter can be considered as a USB-TTL module, and the programming way is the same as a USB-TTL module.
Part 3 AT Command description
- AT CON // Connecting to Slave Computer, and the following parameters are the Slave Number from the searching list. AT CON? can view help information.
- AT BAUD // View, Set the baud rate, following no parameter means viewing baud rate, following with parameter means setting baud rate( parameters are baud rates). AT BAUD? can view help information.

Border Patrol officers man a checkpoint in Santa Cruz County, Arizona.
Two days before graduating from the State University of New York-Canton with a degree in law enforcement leadership, 21-year-old Jessica Cooke was stopped in her car by Border Patrol agents at a checkpoint on NY Route 37 along the St. Lawrence River's maritime border with Canada.
Ms. Cooke has driven through such checkpoints frequently, and she even completed the first phase of U.S. Customs and Border Protection physical training to apply for a CBP job. As she arrived at the checkpoint, there was no indication she'd crossed the border; indeed, she showed a driver's license to confirm her identity and stated where she was coming from, which is more information than she's required to provide.
The last thing Ms. Cooke could have expected happened: Two Border Patrol agents physically assaulted her and shocked her with a stun gun after refusing to answer her repeated question, "Why am I being held?" They explained her detention by saying she looked "nervous." The Border Patrol agent who assaulted Ms. Cooke preceded his violence with a smug "Go for it" after she warned him she'd sue if he touched her. Contrary to policy, he wasn't wearing a visible nametag.
Look here at the agents' brutality recorded by Ms. Cooke's cellphone.
CBP has a terrible track record of use-of-force incidents. Until a new commissioner ordered policy changes last year, the agency strongly resisted releasing a damning external report on its uses of force. Since Anastasio Hernández Rojas was beaten and tased to death on video five years ago, at least 35 people have been killed by CBP agents with zero accountability. CBP's own former head of internal affairs says thousands hired during an unprecedented expansion in the post-9/11 era are "potentially unfit to carry a badge and gun." This recent history has left a dark cloud over CBP as a whole, including the many officers and agents who act with integrity.
Border Patrol claims authority to operate checkpoints within 100 miles of any land or water border. They are supposed to be limited to immigration-status inquiries, but have unconstitutionally morphed into general crime control, resulting mostly in minor drug arrests. The agents' excuse for detaining Ms. Cooke was to wait an hour for a dog to sniff her car, yet she wasn't arrested for contraband or any other reason. The ACLU has long worried that while the 100-mile zone is not literally "Constitution free," because constitutional protections still apply, "the Border Patrol frequently ignores those protections and runs roughshod over individuals' civil liberties."
(The approximate spot of the Border Patrol checkpoint where Jessica Cooke stopped her car.)
Ms. Cooke's shocking treatment is sadly symptomatic of a pattern: Border Patrol violence is all over the Internet, victimizing those people who question being excessively harassed during their daily activities (and of course not every incident is caught on camera.) Take a look at Border Patrol smashing a trucker's window, or hauling a man out of his car while his toddler's in the back seat, or Clarisa Christiansen's story of what Border Patrol agents did to her and her five- and seven-year-old kids on a remote Arizona road. The incident was so traumatic that it led her to homeschool her children because they became too scared to ride in the car. These incidents occurred 60, 35, and 40 miles from any border.
CBP Commissioner Kerlikowske has improved use-of-force reporting, which the inspector general found badly deficient. CBP claims that incidents are down by almost 30 percent this fiscal year. But the agency's use-of-force policy failed to incorporate a clear definition like the Justice Department's standard -- any force beyond peaceful handcuffing that compels someone to comply, including pointing a firearm -- so we don't know what those stats really mean.
CBP needs to accurately report how many incidents take place and what happens to personnel involved in incidents like Ms. Cooke's. Are they immediately placed on administrative leave? Are they eventually suspended or fired? How can the public trust that CBP agents they encounter understand constitutional rights, de-escalation techniques and proper uses of force?
Ms. Cooke's senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, met with CBP about her incident and emerged with "serious concerns about lack of transparency and accountability." CBP must urgently implement the same best police practices the Obama administration recommends for state and local police reform: comprehensive data collection addressing uses of force and racial profiling, body-worn cameras with privacy protections, and a responsive complaint process.
In horrible pain after being manhandled and electroshocked, Ms. Cooke screamed several times at her government assailant: "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
It's up to CBP to answer that question for her and many others who've been wronged. Otherwise the border communities CBP serves will continue to question whether unjustified Border Patrol violence ever has consequences.

How A Freestanding Wood Fireplace Can Bring A Family Back Together
This is the fact that it seems to bring every member of the family into one room. It's just something about having that warm and cozy living room with a freestanding wood fireplace right in the center of your house that calls out to your family members. Before you even notice it your whole family will be sitting around you.
Now this is just the first step. You may have all your family together in one place but you still need to do a bit of work to get them all interacting with one another. Chances are good that your kids are still texting on their phones and your spouse is still deep into their favorite magazine. Here are a couple suggestions of different methods that you can use to make your freestanding wood fireplace more than just a meeting area; but also a full-fledged family interaction hub.
Add a stack of games: By adding a small collection of board games on a shelf near your freestanding wood fireplace you will quickly notice that as your family gravitates towards the fireplace it will become natural to grab a game off the shelf and start playing it together. Now just sit back and enjoy the moment.
Make a point of starting conversations: Whenever two or more of your family is sitting down around the freestanding wood fireplace be sure to ask people how their day / life is going. With a little work you can turn this area of your house into an important bonding center that brings your family closer together every time you sit down.
A few snacks go a long way: Once your family is all sitting down together try saying "what's family fire time without snacks!" Then make a few snacks and eat them with your family. Rest assured many days won't go by before your family is all sitting together by the freestanding wood fireplace once again.
These are just a few ideas of the possibilities to get your started. With a little bit of creativity, you'll see what a huge difference adding a freestanding fireplace to your home can do. We believe that there is nothing stronger than the pull of a warm living room with cozy couches once you add in a freestanding wood fireplace.

Nebraska replied to TSA's topic in Hurricanes Talkhttp://drpeppercaniac.blogspot.com/ This is a link to a one time post. It's a short nonfiction piece I wrote for class this semester. I want to share because I know a lot of people are frustrated with our Canes right now and I understand that. I just wanted to lighten some hearts with a story about my first game, the excitement of the building and how the Hurricanes bring people together; I'll never forget Ron Francis's jersey retirement speech when he said the arena was the only place to find duke, nc state and unc fans cheering for the same team. awww.... ps- it's the first game at the ESA 10 years ago so the details are a bit screwey so please just roll with it. Though we did lose 4-2 against the Devils and parking was only $6.00!!
Ok, fess up-what role did you play in the downward spiral of the Canes
Nebraska replied to TSA's topic in Hurricanes TalkI got in a fight with my hockey buddy during the first game of the season and we stopped talking. He forgave me last week but we haven't been able to watch a game together due to the fact that we live 4 hours apart now. and...

Nebraska posted a topic in Hurricanes TalkI'm pretty sure Brindy still has this season and one more on his contract (correct me if I'm wrong). But if Staal isn't the Captain before then, I think he will be after Brindy retires.

Nebraska replied to captain_jack88's topic in Off Topicwoohoo! i feel smart. i did it with like a minute remaining. (so i'm a bit late) my hockey buddy and i made up a game with this. we go back and forth naming teams and if you can't name one in 5 seconds you have to take a sip of whatever you happen to be drinking. that's fun too.
Nebraska posted a topic in Hurricanes TalkI kind of like it when we're the underdogs, it gives us something to fight for. However, I know most people still think that we're less than. I'm interested in what he has to say about us. I bet we're not in the top 5 though.

Paul's Revere Cab Ride
Since the flight arrived so late, the free shuttle from the hotel was not running, so I grabbed a cab from the taxi-stand. The cabbie was a local from Revere, and we talked up a storm the whole way. He knew where he was going, didn't bounce me all over the place and was genuine. Frankly, that cab ride was the best part of the trip since getting dropped at the Portland airport by T in the A4 at 8:00 the prior morning. $30 later, I was collecting my room key. I keyed into my room just after 4:AM.
There are lots of reasons why United sucks, but the airline flight attendants are not among them. United had the same crew who was supposed to run the original flight (12:30 planned departure) work the actual flight (6:30 actual departure). The attendants are only paid for time in the air, so while they also had to wait around, they probably lost out on some income on a connecting flight out of Boston too. United sucks because they overbook their flights. United sucks because they cram in at least one if not multiple extra rows into their planes, making the trip even more unpleasant. United sucks because they offer hollow apologies to the inconvenienced: go to this obscure web site that you better write down as we say it because you'll never be able to navigate there on your own (go here) and we'll offer you $100 of flight vouchers so you can have another god-awful experience. United, you suck. I spent more than that on the airport food and the taxi. $100 of flight voucher is not an apology; it is a middle finger. Fine. Here's two right back at ya.
That's it for today. I'll follow up with some actual family reunion stuff. Honestly, the trip was great after the United nonsense was over.

But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
– Matthew 5:39
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
– Ephesians 6:10-20
Should I apologize for using the same Scripture two days in a row, in advance?
My wife has been doing something over the past few days that I usually do on Memorial Day weekend. Watch war movies.
But the two that she has recently watched were not the kind I would usually watch. She watched Hidden in Silence (1996) and Resistance Movement (2013). Both dealt with teen-agers or younger who resisted Nazi Germany. Both are true stories.
In Hidden in Silence, the Podgorski sisters save 13 Jews in Poland. Stefania Podgorska was born in 1925 and her sister, Helena (born 1935). At the ages of 16 and 6, the girls moved into a house and were followed by thirteen Jews. The Jews had some money and jewelry that the Stefania used to keep everyone fed until she could find a job. In the meantime, 6-year-old Helena would carry the food back to the house, creating elaborate lies for the Germans who questioned her.
In Resistance Movement, the story is told of the Helmuth Hübener Group of resistance fighters. In official records, this group is listed as the youngest group (all teen-agers) of resistance fighters in World War 2. Helmuth with his friends Rudi (Rudolf) Wobbe and Karl-Heinz Schnibbe made up the group. They had been boy scouts together and were members of the Latter Day Saints denomination. Helmuth listened to British broadcasts over shortwave radio. He transcribed what he heard and created typed bulletins (about 60) that the boys distributed all over Hamburg, Germany so that people would learn what the Nazi government was not telling them. They became very creative in distributing the bulletins. For example, sneaking the bulletin onto the Nazi bulletin boards and a form of reverse pickpocketing (sneaking notes into people's coat pockets). They were eventually caught and tried for treason although they were all underaged.
The common theme of these two movies was teen-agers (or younger) resisting evil.
My wife is a typical grandmother. Stories of youth doing amazing things would interest her, but this was different.
I have mentioned that my wife is Eurasian, born in Indonesia. Her father was a Dutch Army officer until he married his wife, a Eurasian, born in Indonesia. He left the military as this posed a conflict of interest. He was an intelligence officer. But this says nothing about my wife's parents before they met.
My father-in-law was a teen-ager during World War II. His father was very elderly (90s) and wheelchair bound. His mother, for whom my wife was named, was German, with a brother who used his influence within the Nazi party to have my father-in-law go to school instead of work in the munitions factories. My father-in-law hated the Nazis, once being beaten for spitting on a Nazi staff car. His father was part of the resistance, hiding downed Allied pilots in his root cellar. The Nazis never suspected a man bound to a wheelchair, with a wife who had Nazi connections within her family. My father-in-law became their arms and legs in the village. When the war was over, now educated with a degree in accounting, he went to England to officer's school to reestablish the Dutch Army.
My mother-in-law was a pre-teen when the Japanese invaded Indonesia. She had run-ins with her occupation officials also. She was nearly sent to a concentration camp for laughing at a Japanese officer when he fell from his bicycle. If it were not for her shrewd and knowledgeable mother, she would have spent the war in the camp, and probably would not have made it. They had very little to eat. Of what food they could obtain, one of her brothers took some and snuck it into the nearest concentration camp to feed the prisoners. As it was, she was skin and bones when she met a dashing young Dutch Army officer after the war.
So, I remembered these things after my wife watched the movies. She had created her own Memorial Day celebration.
On Memorial Day weekend, we honor those who did not return home from the wars, but what of those who were home as the war raged about them? What of those who stepped out in faith to do the right thing in the face of evil? Some of those resistance fighters, regardless of age, did not survive the war. We need to remember them also.
And we also need to remember the Scripture above. While we are told to love our enemies, we must resist evil. Even in times of relative peace, we need to remember that Satan is perpetrating whatever evil he can do to us to shake our faith. Remember that God is our strength.
Soli Deo Gloria. Glory to God Alone.

Perhaps our most complex project we have done in quite a while. Not only the logistics, the fact that we took two amazing guests with us, Hanne Tersmette and Wilco van Rooijen, but perhaps most of all because we wanted it to be an experiment in sustainable traveling.
In this day an age, the discussion about sustainability, preserving the little nature we have left, certainly in our very urbanized corner of the world, is very important. And entering into that discussion is sometimes a bit of a minefield: what is and what isn't sustainable, or less unsustainable…and there are so many aspects to this discussion: be it product materials, carbon emissions, food production, (plastic) packaging, energy consumption…the list is endless.
Inspired by our partner VAUDE, a company which is perhaps the most sustainable brand in outdoor gear and apparel, we too tried to make the most sustainable choices during our trip. In all our fallibility and our resolve tested by the weather and the elements we encountered, we encountered many interesting eye-openers and insights. Which still resonate with us in our daily lives and have made small changes already.
We hope this film will inspire people to see what small changes they themselves can make.
The strength of this film is that it combines various themes and interests: bike packing is a growing form of vacationing, a low eco-impact form to start with, and the very topical and pressing theme of sustainability will appeal to more people than only those who want to go Bikepacking. The presence and insights of our guests, last but not least, add an extra layer to that mix.
Filmed with two handheld DSLR camera's, DJI Mavic Pro Drone, with our production vehicles being limited to a regular MTB and an e-MTB, it was an extremely immersive production,…as

Nordic climate - May, June and July are the driest months of the year. Mid-June to August is high season, but most highland tours don't operate until July because of snow. At other times, many tourist facilities outside Reykjavík are closed. From September through March, the night is dark enough to see the Aurora Borealis.

Step between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates at Thingvellir National Park, wonder at the hot springs at Geysir and admire the thundering Gullfoss waterfall. Continue on to Langjökull glacier for an exhilarating snowmobile adventure through the wilderness, taking in the awe-inspiring views of the glacier and the surrounding scenery.

Here you'll be following the path of lava that flowed during a volcanic eruption over 5000 years ago, and you'll gain a unique insight into this hidden side of Iceland.
One of the world's most unique spas, Iceland's Blue Lagoon is an outdoor, geo-thermally heated spa providing an amazing experience that cannot be missed when visiting Iceland.

NAUSHAHRO FEROZE: A protest was staged by "Children's Rights Committee" (CRC) here on Sunday against the failure of the police to arrest two teachers who had raped a class X student Aasima Khund a week ago.
The protesters were led by Coordinator CRC, District Naushahro Feroze, Zahid Rajpar, and Murtaza Tagar, Suhail Rajpar and others. The demonstrators raised slogans against the teachers involved in the crime and against the police, who have failed in arresting the culprits.
Talking to newsmen, they said the ratio of female students was already very low in the interior Sindh and such shameful incidents would discourage parents and they would be reluctant to send their daughters to schools. They demanded of the authorities to arrest the culprits involved in the case.

HMP Littlehey inmates were handed hundreds of extra days behind bars for breaking rules last year, figures reveal.
Prison reform campaigners say imposing extra jail time as a punishment simply worsens overcrowding, and have called for it to be scrapped as a punitive measure.
Ministry of Justice data shows that prisoners were handed 810 extra days behind bars in 2018-19.
The additional time was distributed across 44 judgements, meaning 18 days were handed out each time on average.
The type of offence for which prisoners got the most extra time was unauthorised transactions, which include those for alcohol and drugs - prison officials doled out 487 days in total for the transgression.
Unruly convicts were also hit with extra days for disobedience or disrespect, and offences including endangering the health or safety of another person, or obstructing an officer.
Prisoners at Littlehey received more than three times the number of additional days given out in the previous year - 203 were imposed in 2017-18.
The increase is much greater than that seen across England and Wales, where prisoners were given around 388,000 extra days in 2018-19 - nine per cent more than the previous year.
Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said the growing use of repeated punishment in prisons is a symptom of a failing system.
"Imposing additional days of imprisonment does not work," she added.
"Rather than solving problems, it creates new ones, piling more pressure on the prison population and worsening overcrowding, which in turn leads to more drug abuse and violence.
"Scrapping the imposition of additional days would make prisons safer, fairer and less likely to churn out people who go on to reoffend in the community."
Peter Dawson, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said many of the punishments will have followed offences borne out of boredom and frustration.
He added: "Overcrowded prisons with under-occupied prisoners feed this self-defeating use of a penalty that ultimately just makes the problem worse.
"The prison service knows that incentives do more to change behaviour than punishments, and our consultation with prisoners confirms that. It's time to turn policy into reality."
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice said: "Having robust punishment available is essential to running a safe prison, so it is absolutely right that anyone who attacks a fellow inmate or smuggles drugs or phones should face longer behind bars."

I'm in one of those moods where I need to give a piece of my mind, politically. I've already discussed my view points on the whole birth control "controversy" and related topics. Tonight it's this: quote President Obama on Facebook "Nearly every Senate Republican voted today to double interest rates on federal college loans for more than 7 million students."
My mom told me about this earlier and we both kind of stood staring at each other for the briefest moment before we both said "now THAT'S what needs doubling in this country, STUDENT LOANS." I mean really. Politics infuriates me point blank. Politics LATELY is igniting a fire under my ass that's like a blow-torch of outrage and irritation.
First of all, do these politicians really have nothing better to do with their time than to come up with bills like this? Of all the problems in all the world, why is it necessary to raise student loans interest rates? Answer: so the rich can get richer, so the poor can stay uneducated and poor.
In relation, I have these 2 photos that kind of sum up my ideas and stance on this. The first is the accompanying photo from Obama on Facebook. The second is one of my favorite photos on Tumblr, ever.
It's ridiculous that we live in the supposed best country in the world, yet so many citizens of this country cannot afford to go to college. Doubling student loan interest rates is just going to keep oppressing people. That's a sickening agenda.

LLP Winding Up
A LLP winding up can be initiated voluntarily or by striking off or by a Tribunal. If a LLP is to initiate winding up voluntarily, then the LLP must pass a resolution with approval of at least three-four Partners to windup the LLP.The approval of the lenders would also be required for winding up of the LLP if it has secure or unsecured lenders.
To begin the process for winding up of LLP, it must pass a resolution for winding up and file the Registrar within 30 days of passing of the resolution. On the date of passing of resolution of winding up of LLP, the voluntary winding up shall be deemed to commence. Businesscrow can help you to wind up your LLP quickly and easily.
Voluntary Winding Up
LLPs can also be wound-up easily with the approval of 3/4th of the partners. To start the liquidation process for a LLP, a greater part of the designated partners will have to make a declaration that the LLP has no debt or that it will be competent to pay the debts in full within a period of not more than 1 year from the start of winding up. Further, the partners must declare that the LLP is not being wound up to defraud any person or persons. This declaration for winding up of the LLP must be prepared along with a statement of assets and liabilities until the most recent practicable date right before the making of declaration for winding up. A valuation of the assets related to the LLP prepared by a valued must also be submitted, if there are assets in LLP. Voluntary winding up will be deemed to start on the date of passing of resolution for the reason of voluntary winding up.
Striking Off
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has recently amended Limited Liability Partnership Rules, 2009 by introducing the Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Rules, 2017 with effect from 20th May, 2017. With this amendment, LLP Form 24 has been introduced by the MCA and it is now possible to easily close a LLP by making an application to the Registrar for striking off name of LLP. Before the introduction of the Limited Liability Partnership (Amendment) Rules, 2017, the procedure for winding up a LLP used to be long and cumbersome. However, with the introduction of LLP Form 24, the procedure has been made easy and simple.
Winding Up by Tribunal
Winding up of LLP can be initiated by a Tribunal for the following reasons:
- The LLP wants to be wound up.
- There are less than two Partners in the LLP for a period of more than 6 months.
- The LLP is not in a position to pay its debts.
- The LLP has acted against the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of State or public order.
- The LLP has not filed with the Registrar Statement of Accounts and Solvency or LLP Annual Returns for any five consecutive financial years.
- The Tribunal is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the LLP should be wound up.
Reasons to Wind Up LLP
Avoid Compliance
A LLP is a legal entity and a juristic person requiring regular maintenance of compliance throughout its lifecycle. LLP winding up can be used close a LLP that is not active and avoid compliance responsibilities.
Avoid Fines
A LLP that doesn't file its compliance on time incurs fines and penalty, including debarment of the Partners from starting another LLP or Company.

Low Cost
LLPs can be wound up easily through BusinessCrow for just Rs.14999.00. On the other hand, a dormant LLP or non-compliant LLP could potentially acquire more penalties, if compliance is not maintained every year.
