Deadline For Linking Aadhaar, PAN Increased By 6 Months To September 30
The government Sunday extended the deadline for linking PAN with biometric ID Aadhaar by 6 months till September 30, as per an official statement.
However, quoting of Aadhaar will remain mandatory for filing income tax returns (ITRs), following the Supreme Court order.
This is the sixth time the government has extended the deadline for individuals to link their Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar.
In June last year, the government had said that PAN has to be linked with the biometric ID by March 31.
"....now the cut-off date for intimating the Aadhaar number and linking PAN with Aadhaar is September 30, 2019, unless specifically exempted," the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a statement.
The CBDT said there were reports that those PANs which are not linked with Aadhaar number by March 31 may be invalidated, following which the matter was considered by the government and the date extended till September 30.
"Notwithstanding the last date of intimating/linking of Aadhaar Number with PAN being September 30, 2019, it is also made clear that w.e.f. April 1, 2019, it is mandatory to quote and link Aadhaar number while filing the return of income," it added.
Till September last year, of the 41 crore PANs issued, over 21 crore were linked to Aadhaar.
The Supreme Court in its order upheld section 139AA of the Income Tax Act.
Section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act says that every person having PAN as on July 1, 2017, and eligible to obtain Aadhaar, must intimate his Aadhaar number to the tax authorities.
The earlier deadlines for linking PAN with Aadhaar were July 31, August 31 and December 31, 2017, March 31, 2018, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2019.

OSHA's New Reporting Requirements Are In Effect
By Katherine Tracy
As of January 1, 2015, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's ("OSHA") new reporting rules went into effect. The new rules require employers to contact OSHA within 24 hours of any in-patient hospitalizations, amputations, or loss of an eye. The 24-hour notification is in addition to the current requirement to contact OSHA within 8 hours following a fatality.
Additionally, there are also new record keeping and posting requirement. There are new categories of employers that must now maintain and post OSHA injury and illness records – 25 industries previously exempt must ow comply. Employers must utilize form 300A to comply with OSHA's posting requirements and must complete the 300 logs and post the 300A summary even if the employer has not had a recordable injury or illness (zeros should be included to demonstrate no injury or illness). The annual summary includes a calculation of the annual average number of employees covered by the log and the total hours worked by all covered employees.
OSHA requires that a company executive – an owner, officer, highest-ranking company official working at the business location or the highest-ranking official's immediate supervisor – certify the 300A summary. The certification requires the company executive to review the OSHA 300 logs and related records, and certify that he or she reasonably believes that the posted summary is accurate and complete. The company records should be reviewed as "extensively as necessary" to ensure the accuracy of the summary. Even minor errors will catch the attention of OSHA investigators.
Now that you have the summary, make sure to post it in a conspicuous place in each establishment where notices to employees are customarily posted, such as where wage and hour and anti-discrimination posters are posted. The summary must not be altered or hidden in any way and the employer will need to re-post the summary if it is damaged, defaced or hidden in any fashion – or an employee takes it upon himself or herself to add their own graffiti to the summary.
To establish that an employer properly posted the summary, those employers maintaining the summary in electronic form should keep the signed posted summary after the posting period ends on April 30. Additionally, any employees who may not see the summary (i.e., they work outside the location where the summary is posted), should be provided with a copy.
Keep the records for 5 years plus the current year for OSHA to review upon request. OSHA is picky and will look very closely at the summary for even minor errors.
Don't forget – under OSHA's new rule, 25 industries are no longer exempt from providing the summary and 300 logs. Are you one of those employers? Make sure to review the updated industry exemption list to see if you are now covered under the new rule.

So many of Prince's predecessors show a glimpse of his depth, only to keep sticking on the same track. It's hard to get one sound down in this life, let alone two (don't even get me started on three), but Prince did. So fuck the fans and go off on your own. It's all yours until you make it theirs.
Here's a good glimpse at Prince's legacy from one of my favorite shows in music, Pharrell & Scott Vener's OTHERtone on Beats 1.
We were looking to put together a tech & ghouse playlist, but we realize that FREY was on half the tracks. Until we can get a dozen more artists to feature with him, FREY will introduce you to the sound. Reminds me of the next stage in ghetto funk. FREY is the next Bobby C Sound Tv.
We're starting to break our remix playlists into genres. Our first was relaxing hip hop remixes and now we've got soulful R&B, and some just soulful (we did have a tropical remix list in between).
The list of soul started off as general relaxing remixes, but it was pretty much all some sort of soul so we trimmed it down to that. Apparently I only like hip hop and soul now.
While prepping for Figgy's live debut, I went through his entire catalogue on SoundCloud, come to find half of it missing. SoundCloud has been more stringent on allowing sampled and remixed tracks recently, giving the major labels access to directly pull songs and even accounts from their service – Figgy was close to getting banned.
SoundCloud more recently introduced its Go premium service that includes offline, ad-free listening and a deal with the major labels that'll increase their catalogue to compete with Spotify (it's still in the works). What's under the radar is that this deal may stop take downs for sampled and remixed songs and instead become a source of income for the labels – not that anyone gives a shit.
What we should give a shit about is producers will be able to keep their remixed and sampled songs on SoundCloud, probably at the cost of an ad. But at least we'll get to use them for playlists. Until then, we've had Goldroom fill the void.
The amount of music going on in a few small areas around Austin, supported by all the music tech that's trying to help it flourish, makes SXSW the place where my two loves come together. Quite literally this year with my job and this blog. Both helped me find places to go and people to do it with, but SXSW could've helped a lot more.
The SXSW Go app could have better helped with both finding and keeping track of events throughout the night and day, as well as finding the people to spend it with – it's where the future of live music is going. I did find a handful of good performances and the same amount of not so good, but mostly because of the people in Austin and their recommendations. Some seriously nice people.
Here are a few stories I had with them.
I've never put out a playlist that I felt was incomplete, but trying to get at least an hours worth of female producers was the most difficult list I've ever compiled.
About four months back, I started to put together the playlist, but couldn't get more than six or seven girls I wanted to feature. So like never before, I asked about a dozen friends in music who their favorite female producers were. Well, they had just as hard of a time.
I only managed to get twelve gals in the end, so I thought I'd open it up to a few friends and try to raise a little awareness of how female producers are really lacking. I'd say it's the worse in any form of art, except directing film probably.
Here are eight lists consisting of over 80 female producers. If you come up with your own playlist, send it over and we'll add it to the collection!
I Do Love You (It's Alright) reminds me of Forest Gump. It's like three movies in one. Going from trap to soul to disco, SO:DF changes up the key more times in one song than techno has in its 30 years plus.
I gotta figure out who they sampled on here, specifically in the disco interlude. 2:37 hits on all sorts of sexy.
Soda Island is a collective of 8 or so producers, all of which are my favorite names in an emerging style of electronic. Kawaii is what I hear it called most, or more generally future bass, but I like vapor. Bubblegum funk works too.
Along with the rest of this future bass movement (let's rename), the folks at Soda Island are doing to electronic what jazz did to classical music. Rewriting the rules.
I've never seen Del live before his performance after the ICBConference last Saturday. I went to Hiero Day last year where I got to meet my favorite right now, Anderson .Paak, but couldn't catch Del in time.
After seeing Tommy Chong close out the conference, he was a good closer, Del performed a few hours later at Pier 23 Cafe. Actually, like every other damn rap performance, we had to wait for him until the wee hours of the night, but not as ridiculous as the Ghostface-Raekwon show. While waiting for Del to come on, I saw a familiar face waiting around too. […]
Super City 50 was a one night EDM event held the night before Super Bowl 50 at the Oakland coliseum. My photographer bailed last minute, but luckily I had a few friends going. I've gone to festivals alone before and it's one of the easiest ways to find new friends, but organizers could do a lot better job to encourage it.
People will find the easiest way to connect with each other and drugs help out a lot. I saw all sorts of people on all kinds of things and it's sad to see how much the law contributes in creating an unsafe environment. Laws change slowly, but the festival experience is about to change rapidly. And that change starts online.
We're all connected 24/7 and using that to start conversations online will help people meet up more easily offline, at festivals. The closest thing I can find to what I'm talking about is Red Bull Sound Select, which is based around a community for curators. The best way to get people connecting around music online, in my opinion.

Natalino Del Prete "Anne" Negroamaro Puglia 2018Regular price $19.00 Save $-19.00
Wild, rustic Negroamaro like you've never experienced. It's funky but also deep, with dark, brambly blackberry, olives, piney forest notes, phenolic tannins, tart cranberry notes on the back end, and all sorts of earthy, feral complexity. The del Prete vines are remarkably overgrown and unkempt (or beautiful) in appearance, compared to their neighbors. Nobody makes wine quite like Natalino!

This week's Thai Creampie video features Nuch, a 20-year-old bar girl from Bangkok. "Fresh" is the best way to describe this Thai piece of ass. I must be like the 3rd person to ever fuck this girl. How did I land this one? Luck and a lot of tequila! Back at the short time room Nuch strips nude and shows off her naughty bits. After tickling Nuch's Thai twat, it was time to have her show me her blowjob skills and boy she did not disappoint! Nuch had this magical ability to "charm the snake" from my trousers. It's like there's a blowjob university somewhere in Thailand that all Thai girls must attend! If there's one thing I know it's that Nuch will make some Thai politician a great wife someday, but until then she'll learn the ropes' from licking my balls, riding my cock, and taking my white load deep in her slanted pussy.

Once again Chiah Wilder has struck gold with "Banger's Ride: Insurgents MC Romance Book 5". Banger lost the love of his life six years ago and Belle is a struggling single mother who lost her husband. Neither of them had romance on their mind, but Banger can't seem to stop going to the diner where Belle works because her food is so good. Belle has two kid and is battling a teenager. Her life is a mess and it is complicated and when questions and her dead husband's mistress start coming around, the plot thickens. Banger isn't going anywhere and if he can just get Belle to see how good they can be together, he could help her. Can Belle trust again? Can Banger finally move past his grief?
This book was hot and sexy. It also had a great strong plot, and the reader will want to keep some tissues near because it will pull at the heart strings. This is a must read!
Banger, President of the Insurgents MC, isn't looking for a woman to replace his beloved wife. Ever since she died, he's closed his heart to loving again. He satisfies his carnal pleasure with the club girls and hoodrats. It's safer that way.
The President of the national club may have sparkling blue eyes and an infectious smile, but make no mistake, if someone crosses him or his club, he'd slit their throat in a heartbeat.
Set in his ways, tough, tattooed, and a no BS-type of man, Banger is doing just fine until he meets the sassy, curly-haired, single mom who can cook the best fried chicken he's ever tasted.
He can't get enough of her cooking…or her.
For the first time since he's been widowed, he wants a woman in his life warming his bed.
And the no-nonsense woman, who has a body made for sinning, has turned his world upside down.
Belle Dermot is a widow with two kids whose husband left her penniless. Wanting a fresh start, she moves to Pinewood Springs and takes a job at the local diner cooking tasty, home-cooked meals.
After finding out her husband was a cheating louse, the last thing she wants is another man in her life. She has her hands full with a rebellious teenage daughter, paying the bills, and fending off nasty accusations that she poisoned her husband.
Then she meets Banger, the muscular, handsome, and rugged biker who comes crashing into her life.
If only he wasn't so nice to her and didn't get her all hot and bothered. And why did he have to be so damn good in bed?
As hard as she tries to push him away, he keeps slipping back into her life, helping her with her problems. And Banger's not the type to let go once he decides on something. And he's decided to make Belle his. Now, he just needs her to agree to be his woman…
The Insurgents MC series are standalone romance novels. This is Banger and Belle's love story. This book contains violence, sexual assault (not graphic), strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. It describes the life and actions of an outlaw motorcycle club. If any of these issues offend you, please do not read the book. HEA. No cliffhangers! The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.

Abstract | Full Text
The importance and necessity of bath and its status in city, the role of bath in social relations, its strong tie with religious and indigenous traditions and costumes, its significant relationship with medicine and medical approaches and its presence in most of important stages of life are examples of features that place the bathes in special position. Traditional requirements and health related approaches positioned washing and bathing as one of the Iranian customs accompanying the man from birth, to even after death. Obviously such a widespread and subtle phenomenon has been manifested in all different aspects of Iranian people's social life. Accordingly, the location of baths in the city was determined based on social relations and environmental requirements and location of the water supplying system. This study answers these questions: What has been the role and status of the Iranian historical bathes in cities and people's life? And based on that how have been the distribution and substitution of baths? The results suggest that bath had an important role more than other public buildings and even in many cases it had been an assistant to them.

We study the marginal tax rate incorporated into short-term tax-exempt municipal rates using a unique new data set from the municipal swap market. By applying an affine term-structure framework, we are able to identify both the marginal tax rate and the credit/liquidity spread in one-week tax-exempt rates. Furthermore, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the risk premia associated with these variables. The average marginal tax rate during the sample period is 41.6 percent. We find that the marginal tax rate is significantly positively related to returns in the stock and bond markets. The risk premium associated with the marginal tax rate is negative, consistent with the strong contracyclical nature of aftertax fixed-income cash flows which increase in bad states of the economy as personal income and the effective marginal tax rates applied to those cash flows decline.

I love our new home. For those not really in the know, Maine is a wonder to behold. Not only do we get the breathtaking rocky coastlines and densely wooded forests outdoorsy folks drive for miles to see but we also have the thriving hustle and bustle of the big city in Portland (which also happens to be one of the most innovative and exciting culinary destinations in the country!!). But as happy we are here, one down side to our move is having to socially start over. Enter: my Harissa and Mint Flower Bread.
Honest truth: I'm a bit of an introvert. It's on of the reasons why I love cooking so much. It allows me to feel completely exposed and creative within the confines I establish. I wouldn't say I'm overly shy or prefer to be alone. My introversion has layers- layers that can certainly be peeled away… over time. Whats funny is that I actually love to entertain guests! But I sometimes find it challenging to go outside my comfort zone to meet new people. But again, that's why I love cooking so much. By cooking a dish or baking off a loaf of bread, I'm able to share apart of myself with new friends as I get to know them.
So, I'm living in a new state, with absolutely no social network…. what do I do? I bake bread. And what better "meeting new people" bread is there than a delicious tear and share bread. This Harissa and Mint Flower Bread has just enough kick to get any conversation going but is balanced by the slightly sweet and soft texture so it won't steal the show. Feel free to purchase already made harissa from your local store if short on time. My version is a little less spicy (for those new friends not wanting too much of a fiery kick). It's a must for any gather, with both old and new friends.

- 10 New Mexico chillies dried
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds or ground
- 1 tbsp coriander
- 2 tsp caraway seeds
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp apple cider
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 10 leaves mint thinly julienned
- 100 + 400 grams all purpose flour
- 250 grams milk warmed to 70 degrees
- 5 + 45 grams sugar
- 5 +5 grams instant yeast
- 10 grams salt
- 75 grams unsalted butter melted than cooled to room temperature
- 2 eggs Reserve 1 for egg wash
Harissa Paste
Pain Au Lait Bread
- Place bell pepper in oven on boiler setting. Occasionally turn the bell pepper so that outside chars. Place charred pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cool until able to touch, then peel the charred skin from the pepper. Remove the seeds and place in a blender or food processor.
- If using whole spices, place spices in a skillet and toast over medium heat until fragrant (about 1 minute). Place toasted spices in blender with pepper. If using ground spices, skip toasting step and place directly in blender.
- Remove the stem and seeds from the dried chillies and place in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the peppers until fully submerged. Let the chilies soak for 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and place in the blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients (expect the mint) into the blender and puree until smooth. Season with more salt if needed.
- For the sponge, mix 100 grams of flour, 5 grams sugar, 5 grams yeast, and milk in a bowl, cover and leave on counter for 40 minutes.
- Using a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, add the remaining ingredient. Add in the sponge and mix on low until the dough is smooth and elastic (30 minutes).
- Cover and rest the dough for 60-90 minutes (60 on summer days and closer to 90+ during the winter).
- Portion the dough into 3 equal balls. Roll one ball into a large circle. The size of the circle isn't as important. Just make sure it fits your biggest sheet pan. Place the circle of dough on a parchment lined sheet pan. Spread 3-4 tbsp of harissa on the circle, leaving a 1/8 inch border of dough uncovered. Sprinkle with half of the mint. Roll out the remaining balls of dough into similar sized circles. Place one on the harissa covered dough, spread that one with more harissa, sprinkle with remaining mint, then cover with the remaining dough circle.
- To shape into a star: Place a small cup in the center of the dough. Starting from the cup and cutting all the way to the outer edge (the cup is there to keep you from cutting all the way through), cut equal quadrants. Cut each quadrant in half, and each of those pieces in half again. When you're finished, it should look like a flower with petals.
- Take 2 petals that are side by side, twist each 3 times, then bring the ends towards each other and pinch together. Continue with the remaining petals.
- Proof the flower bread on the counter for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat over to 350 degrees. Cover the bread in an egg wash (whisk 1 whole egg). Bake for 30-35 minutes.

This is a small project I did specifically to use up some scrap wood and to use this drop of white oak from a countertop we made at my job a while back. It got cut off because it had the pith running through the middle of it, which is exactly why I wanted it. The face of the board perfectly bisects the rings of the tree and the whole piece has beautiful "quartersawn" rays. It probably didn't need the bow ties, but I went ahead and put them for the practice and because I like how it looks.
This originally just started out to be a quick project, but the more I worked the wood by hand, the less I wanted to use power tools. It's gotten to be a hassle to get everything set up and deal with the dust and the noise.
So this project was probably done 90% with hand tools.
I also got some practice in at different joinery. So much so, that I decided I didn't need glue. When I put it together since it's a small project and it will just hold a box for me to empty my pockets in at the end of the day.
The battens underneath are sliding dovetails, it's got wedged tenons, tusked tenons, and draw-bored tenons.
Lots of fun, good practice, and a great use of "scrap" wood!

Think of the most important tool you need for your RC car both on and off track. If you answered the motor, tires or battery then you didn't get it right. Perhaps, the mentioned objects have their own designated purpose and task for a remote controlled car but for the hobbyist itself, a pen and paper are two of the greatest tools ever.
Really, the pen and paper are the useful when dealing with RC cars. There is no joke here since listing down the numbers of your RC car is the subject; nothing else can do it better. Have you ever thought of experimenting before? If you have, surely you have also thought of writing down everything you discover, right? This is actually the same point why securing a written record of your RC car and its performance is very important.
Regardless RC cars, trucks, planes and buggies are customized or not; they all have individual standard measurement. Along the way, you will need to change some parts of your RC car to make it run faster and perform better. It can be the tires, the distance from the main body, the height and others. Elements such as the batteries, caster, running temperatures and many others are also important in the performance of your RC car.
If you still can't see why writing down these things are extremely important in having RC cars as a hobby; try to imagine a time you test-drive your RC car down a rough path you are not familiar with (granting you haven't written down the numbers of your RC car and performance for that particular time of the day), when a huge rock came rolling down the hill and missed your RC car by centimeters. Pretend the rear part has been altered from its original state. How do you solve this problem?
The point is, anything that can significantly affect your RC car's performance is important in improving it. So, for the scenario given above (although we're not saying that it will likely happen), if you have put your entire RC car's numbers in to writing, it wouldn't be such a big problem. All you have to do is turn to your record, and replace everything damaged according to what you have taken note of.

A reader sends along news that a minister at the UK's Home Office has made it his goal to completely eliminate animal testing in the country. Norman Baker has been a longtime activist on the issue of animal rights, and is now in a position to do something about it.
Or is he? Reading the article, it seems to me to be one of these "Form a commission to study the proposals for the plan" things. The current proposal is to increase the publicly available details about what animals are being used for:
In a statement, Mr Baker said: "The coalition government is committed to enhancing openness and transparency about the use of animals in scientific research to improve public understanding of this work. It is also a personal priority of mine.
"The consultation on Section 24 of the Animals in Science Act has now concluded and we are currently analysing responses in preparation for pursuing potential legislative change."
So I don't see a ban on animal experimentation in the UK any time soon – which would demolish what's left of the pharma industry there, along with great swaths of the academic biological research world as well. I am not in favor of animal suffering, and would gladly punch anyone who is. But given the state of our knowledge, there really is no alternative in many cases. We shouldn't be doing frivolous experiments, and we should all be mindful of alternatives. But the anti-testing people should realize how few good alternatives there really are.
I've found, by the way, that many activists are convinced that such alternatives are a lot more useful than they really are. When I've had a chance to press them for details, things get hazy very quickly. Phrases like "cell cultures" and "computer models" get thrown around, but how these can substitute for whole-animal disease models and toxicology – that turns out to be not so clear.

Drake has always showed love to artists on the rise, and his latest song with BlocBoy JB is another collaboration banger the Toronto guy can add to his expansive collection.
The Memphis rapper holds his own next to Drake, controlling the pounding, piano-laden beat with his badass Southern drawl. Drake of course adds his own flair, opening the song with a boastful intensity that will remind longtime fans of his Nothing Was the Same days. "I get racks to go outside, and I split it with the guys (outside) / We up on the other side, n-ggas actin' like we tied I've been gone since like July, n-ggas actin' like I died," Drake brags. But the best part of the video occurs when Drake tries to dance, something that is always entertaining to watch!
Blocboy JB is known for his "shoot" dance, which has since gone viral. Drake previously attempted it at the club last month and hit the move once again in the video. But did he improve his skills? Or does he look like a dad trying to keep up with the kids' latest trends? You just have to watch the video for yourself to figure that one out!
Next, watch this episode of Fuse's The Drake Effect that examines the power of the Drizzy co-sign:

We all know that it is hard to take a vacation when you need to leave your dog at home. Your mind wanders to constant worries about the possible things that happen the minute you go.
And of course, one of your concerns is that you have to leave your dog to someone. And someone besides you gets the chance to take care of your little bundle of joy while you're away. A lot of thoughts going on. Take a deep breath.
That is precisely what Garret's parents have gone through. His parents decided to have a week-long cruise and left Garret in charge of Oscar, the pup.
Garret's parents love Oscar so much. He knew that they would want to get updates of Oscar, on a day to day basis. And then he thought of something brilliant. He created a video of his good times with Oscar, and he knew that this would put their minds at ease.
He wants to put a little bit of comedy to lighten up the mood of his parents. And sure enough, the video was a success! Garret said that Oscar is hilarious; he seems like he had the most fun with the little pup.
Both of them enjoyed making the mini-movie, and it served its purpose; to make his mom laugh and at ease. His mom could not get enough of the video, even while on the cruise. His mom cried out of laughter. Garret posted it on his Twitter, and people immediately found it funny, too! The video has thousands of views.
People loved it; they thought it was sweet. It overwhelmed Garret. He said he only has 70 followers and it surprised him how it reached thousands of people on Twitter. You can do lots of fun things with dogs.
My parents went on a cruise and left me home alone. My mom kept telling me to take good care of our dog Oscar. So I sent her this. pic.twitter.com/F6aMJelX4P

Saudi king invites bloc leaders to Riyadh for talks aimed at breaking months of political deadlock.
|Iraq's prime minister, Nuri al Maliki, is fighting to stay in his job after March's inconclusive election [EPA]
Saudi Arabia has invited Iraq's political leaders to meet in Riyadh in an effort to resolve months of deadlock over forming a new government.
Saturday's invite from Saudi's King Abdullah has drawn negative reaction from some politicians in Baghdad who fear foreign interference in Iraq's political process.
The king called on Iraqi leaders to meet in Riyadh on an unspecified date after the annual Haj pilgrimage scheduled for November.
"Everyone knows that you are at a crossroads, and you must make all possible efforts to unite yourselves … to surmount your differences and extinguish the flames of ugly sectarianism," the king said in a statement published by the official SPA news agency.
"We … assure you of our full readiness to help you and support you in whatever resolution you agree upon in order to restore security and peace to the land of Mesopotamia," he said.
Mixed reactions
But supporters of Nuri al-Maliki, the Shia prime minister seeking to keep his job after an inconclusive election earlier this year, dismissed the invitation.
"This Saudi initiative is not positive, and that country does not have a role to play because it has not been neutral in recent years; it has always had a negative attitude toward (Maliki) and (his) State of Law" bloc," Sami al-Askari, an Iraqi MP from al-Malaiki's State of Law bloc said.
"Had this invitation come from other countries, such as Jordan, Syria or even Turkey, it would have had a better chance of being well received."
A spokeswoman for the winning Iraqiya list, led by former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, welcomed the Saudi monarch's initiative.
"We ask all political blocs to welcome the initiative, preventing Iraq's security situation from deteriorating" amid continued political deadlock, said Maysoon al-Damluji.
Iraq has been without a government since the election on March 7 this year, when the Sunni dominated Iraqiya bloc led by Allawi won 91 seats and the Malaki's State of Law netted 89.
Despite months of political horsetrading and backroom negotiations, neither side has been able to secure a governing majority in the parliament, leaving the country in political paralysis.
The impasse has concerned regional governments, who fear it could derail plans for a US troops pullout slated for the end of 2011.

So I've been meaning to do this for a while and today I finally got nudged into doing this so let's jump right into the anatomy of windows!
Firstly there are a lot of windows in RPG Maker Ace by default and if you're scripting at some point you're going to need to make a window. Which can be quite daunting and also waste a lot of your time when you're trying to get it right. First let's have a look at all the windows, the arrows indicate inheritance.
As you can see all windows inherit from Window_Base and there are several windows that act as bases for the other windows. Let's strip it down to just the windows that are inherited from:
That's a bit easier on the eyes now isn't it? Also in case you're not sure what I mean by inheritance, I'll explain it quickly. Inheritance is where one class inherits from another class which is to say that it effectively copies all of the original classes methods and variables. So we can literally do this:
class Window_Name < Window_Base end
And our new window Window_Name has everything Window_Base has, pretty cool huh?
Ok so now we need to decide what window to inherit from, generally it is going to be one of four:
So our first question should be are you using the window to just display information or is the player going to be able to select something in the window? Well if you just want to display things then all you really need to do is look at the drawing methods in Window_Base. If you want to have the window selectable then you need to know a few more things and we'll go through them. The easiest way I think would be to go through the methods you'll use/edit most. So let's start there.
line_height – this is by default 24, the hight of an icon and the default font size. Useful with fitting_height which calculate the minimum window height given a number of lines.
standard_padding – if you ever need to get closer to the edge of a window then decrease this also if the window itself is not visible (self.opacity = 0) then this padding is wasted. By default this is 12.
Now going into Window_Selectable assume that the above remains unchanged unless I mention it again.
col_max – the number of columns by default 1.
spacing – the space between the coloums. 32 by default.
item_max – 0 by default, you need to change that if you're going to display anything. I'm going to advocate having an array that contains the data you need to draw your items and then you can make this something like @data.size
item_width – you are very unlikely to need to change this, in fact if you think you need to change this then you should probably be looking at standard_padding and spacing. This automatically calculates the width your item should have.
item_height -this is by default the same size as line_height, you should only need to change it if you for example have have the battle hud in columns and not rows and need to make the cursor bigger. Or maybe you want to display more information about items and want each items to have another row of space to work with.
item_rect -this gets you a rect based on the item number this rect is also the one which the cursor uses. In general you should use item_rect_for_text
item_rect_for_text -Basically item_rect but with four pixels cut off each side, basically stopping the cursor obscuring the first or last letters of anything you put.
Also in case you didn't already know you need to write a draw_item method a standard one would get a rect from item_rect_for_text and then used it to position everything.
Right a few changes this time Window_Command uses @list to store the data for drawing (item_max is automatically done for you in Window_Command) and you should add them using add_command. Which accepts two to four parameters
name, symbol, enabled, ext
name is what's displayed to the players, symbol is something like :identifier and enabled is whether or not they can click that option by default this is true and I don't know what ext does I've never used it.
visible_line_number – how many rows before the command window scrolls.
make_command_list – this is where you should really be adding commands to the window, it's called when the window is made and again everytime the command wndow is refreshed.
There's no real difference for you between this and Window_Command except if you want this window to scroll. There is a bug with the default scripts and I don't know if they fixed it yet. If when you make a scrolling HorzCommand window it scrolls but doesn't work right add this code to your project:
class Window_HorzList < Window_HorzCommand #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # * Set Leading Digits - BUGFIX #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- def top_col=(col) col = 0 if col < 0 col = item_max - (col_max - 1) if col > item_max - 1 self.ox = col * (item_width + spacing) end end

WATCH: 'Blood on the floor' as Capitol police drag Trumpcare protesters from outside McConnell's office
Capitol police officers dragged away protesters from outside the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
Demonstrators gathered outside his Senate office to protest the health care reform bill crafted in secrecy by McConnell and his aides, but Capitol police broke up the protest.
Video and photos shared on social media showed protesters, some in wheelchairs or wearing medical devices, being dragged away from McConnell's office, where they had planned to stage a "die-in" protest as a draft of the bill was finally circulated among lawmakers.
"The government wants to kill me," one woman said, as police led her away.
Officers dropped one protester who relies on a wheelchair, according to witnesses.
Witnesses reported seeing blood on the floor outside McConnell's office as police physically removed the protesters, but it's not clear whether anyone was injured.
An apparent Trump supporter was arrested Wednesday in San Francisco after attempting twice to run over a group of health care reform protesters staging their own "die-in" that blocked a city street for seven minutes.

F-35 Program Is "F***ed Up", Puts American Pilots In Severe Dogfight Disadvantage
Two of the three versions of Lockheed's beleaguered F-35 fighter jet suffer from previously unreported problems that could put the Joint Strike Fighter at a serious disadvantage in a dogfight with an adversary, according to documents obtained by Defense News.
If left unresolved, the following 'category 1' glitches will be icing on the cake of Lockheed's $400 billion quagmire (partial list via Defense News);
When the F-35B vertically lands on very hot days, older engines may be unable to produce the required thrust to keep the jet airborne, resulting in a hard landing.
After doing certain maneuvers, F-35B and F-35C pilots are not always able to completely control the aircraft's pitch, roll and yaw.
Supersonic flight in excess of Mach 1.2 can cause structural damage and blistering to the stealth coating of the F-35B and F-35C.
Cabin pressure spikes in the cockpit of the F-35 have been known to cause barotrauma, the word given to extreme ear and sinus pain.
The spare parts inventory shown by the F-35's logistics system does not always reflect reality, causing occasional mission cancellations.
If the F-35A and F-35B blows a tire upon landing, the impact could also take out both hydraulic lines and pose a loss-of-aircraft risk.
Possible maneuvering issues when the aircraft is operating above a 20-degree angle of attack.
The F-35's logistics system currently has no way for foreign F-35 operators to keep their secret data from being sent to the United States.
On that last one - this means that there's no way that the eleven countries which have committed to buying F-35s will be able to prevent the Untied States from spying on their maneuvers (Sorry Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway, Japan, South Korea, Turkey and the United Kingdom).
Of note, the F-35 program had 111 "category 1" deficiencies as of January 2018, defined as major flaws that impact safety or mission effectiveness. By May 24 2018, that had decreased to 64 open category 1 issues out of a total 913 deficiencies according to the documents.
This makes absolutely zero sense, and why the Pentagon is putting up with these failures... is beyond me, completely.
The only explanation I can find, is that of the fact that Lockheed-Martin is a huge campaign contributor to both sides of the aisle, so its executive board believes that it can create fighter jets with multiple strings of interlocking problems, and it doesn't have to raise a finger to fix these issues.
As most of you know who frequent this blog, I absolutely abhor war, as the only way for the US government to resolve its geopolitical differences with other countries; but that being said, when war happens, I believe that all who wear an American uniform, should be given the best this country has to create in terms of weaponry.
And right now, that just isn't happening. Russia and China are far beyond what the US can produce, in terms of weaponry capability and reach.
So please, engineers at Lockheed Martin; fix this; your country needs you to be making the best in terms of our weaponry you can create.

For years, Ramona Centeno Santos refused to have heart surgery, even if that meant her life would be shorter.
But after Hurricane María ravaged her home in Puerto Rico, she moved to Central Florida, where doctors offered the 84-year-old an option to live a longer, healthier life — without major surgery — and she took them up on it.
Just two weeks ago, Centeno Santos received a new heart valve through a non-invasive procedure at Osceola Regional Medical Center. The technology is an alternative to operating on patients who are at high risk of surgical complications.
Her old aortic valve had become too narrow, causing her heart to overwork, a condition known as aortic stenosis. After taking a few steps, it was difficult to breathe, she said.
"She got tired from doing minimal things that required little effort," said her granddaughter, Gloria Rivero.
Centeno Santos didn't move to Florida seeking medical treatment.
The family had known about her condition for years. On the island, she sought multiple medical opinions. Some doctors said it was too risky to perform surgery, while others were eager to cut her chest open.
"One of the doctors told her to pack up a bag and head to the hospital, so she could have the surgery immediately," said her daughter Carmen Rosa Centeno.
But Centeno Santos, who suffers from arthritis, diabetes and high-blood pressure, feared there would be complications.
"I didn't want doctors to do anything to me," she said. "I didn't feel safe there."
Her family said she's always been active. She used to wake up, make her bed, sweep the floor, and cook lunch for her and her partner of 41 years, Manuel Otero.
"One of the doctors told her to pack up a bag and head to the hospital, so she could have the surgery immediately,"
But as her symptoms worsened, when she grabbed the broom, Centeno Santos felt fatigued, and her heart began to beat faster. As she attempted to catch her breath, she felt acute pain in her chest.
The couple lived alone in a house in Bayamón, just east of San Juan.
Just 10 days after María made landfall in September, tearing the roof off their home and knocking out their power, they hopped on a plane to Central Florida, where Centeno Santos' granddaughter lives.
Centeno Santos fell ill with bronchitis the next month. After many tests, the doctors in the emergency room told Gloria Rivero her grandmother's aortic valve was getting narrower, and her heart would give up soon.
"It was horrible," Rivero said. "I almost died when they told me, because I didn't expect that."
Rivero enrolled Centeno Santos in health insurance, and by December they were visiting cardiologists.
It wasn't until March that a doctor mentioned the transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure and referred the family to Osceola Regional Medical Center.
In June, Centeno Santos was in a room at the hospital half-awake with two small incisions — one at each side of her groin — ready to get a new valve.
One incision is for fluids, including a sedative, to enter her bloodstream. The other is used to insert the new valve. It travels in the artery, eventually reaching the older, narrower valve. The new valve enters through the old one and expands, widening it from the size of a pen to the size of a penny.
"I know it sounds crazy, but it works beautifully," said Dr. Jooby John, who specializes in interventional cardiology for the TARV team.
A team of four doctors, led by Dr. Sayed Hussain, are in the room during the procedure. Patients are minimally sedated, John said, comparing the anesthesia to the kind people get before an endoscopy.
These Puerto Ricans who fled Hurricane María's destruction built a community at a Super 8 in Kissimmee. Now, they have to leave it.
Before this technology existed, the only alternative to the degenerative disease was open-heart surgery, which patients like Centeno Santos likely couldn't withstand. Even if she did, there's a long recovery that follows. Instead, with the TAVR, patients can leave the hospital within a few days.
Her procedure took about two hours, the family said.
After the procedure, the doctors and nurses brought her flowers and a certificate because she's the 100th patient to get a trans-catheter valve replacement at Osceola Regional Medical Center.
"Before we were letting patients die, with or without surgery. Now, we're able to change the trajectory of their lifestyle," John said.
In less than a week, she was home.
Now, she wakes up at 7:30 a.m., makes her bed, sweeps the floor and waters the plants.
"I feel better," she said. "I can finally breathe without pain. I sweep, and I clean, and then I sit down to rest."
Centeno Santos has taken more time to relax since she moved to her granddaughter's apartment in Kissimmee. Rivero takes her grandmother to theme parks whenever she's not at work. Her favorites are SeaWorld and Disney World, she said.
"Now I can live longer," Centeno Santos said. "If I didn't do this, I had very little [time] left."

An invisible enemy. A hog apocalypse. A tragedy of the commons. However you want to define African swine fever, it's led to the new world we live in today.
Since African swine fever (ASF) was confirmed in China on Aug. 3, 2018, the disease has spread to several other countries around the world and has sent shockwaves through the pork industry.
"The world North American swine producers live in changed last August when African swine fever was confirmed in the world's largest swine herd. Although the risk of introduction to North America is low, we must use extreme caution to protect ourselves for the benefit of the animals in our care and the economic wellbeing of all our farms," says Gordon Spronk, DVM, member of the National Pork Producer Council's board of directors.
The fear of ASF reaching U.S. soils grows each day as we hear more reports of this devastating disease destroying the global hog herd.
ASF is not a new disease. In fact, scientists and researchers have studied it for decades. Unfortunately, stopping the spread of the disease is very difficult with no available vaccine.
The quest for an ASF vaccine has been going on for more than 50 years. It's no easy feat, because ASF is the largest virus known to man, says Liz Wagstrom, DVM, NPPC's chief veterinarian. Because of its size, it's difficult to discover which, if any, of those proteins has the antibody that would protect against clinical disease.
According to Wagstrom, a vaccine for ASF is still several years away from being available to pork producers. Some U.S. sources say 10 years, while a European report says the vaccine is still 20 years out.
Biosecurity and education: your best prevention
Andrea Pitkin, DVM, PIC North America's health assurance veterinarian, says the biggest threat to ASF transmission is people. "Biosecurity is our main tool to prevent this disease," Pitkin says.
Paul Sundberg, DVM, executive director of the Swine Health Information Center, agrees.
"I don't see ASF pressures abating at all," he says. "The global marketplace only heightens that pressure for us any time we have a virus moving around quickly to other parts of the world. My key message for producers is to think globally and act locally. You can watch what's happening globally, but the best way to prevent introduction of disease here in the U.S. is to act locally. Make biosecurity a priority on your farm every day. That's the most important thing we can do."

This metal detector has a variety of features all accessible on a large LCD screen, so even those new to the hobby will be able to figure out how to start using it. It has a 10-inch concentric coil, which means its search field is cone-shaped. The widest part of the search field is closest to the coil and it gets progressively smaller the deeper it goes. The Quick Draw Pro is rated to find objects as deep as 9 inches, but in our tests it was able to correctly identify three objects buried 10 inches or deeper.
This detector also has 10 levels of sensitivity adjustment. This comes in handy if you're not picking up anything during a hunt or if you're experiencing a lot of feedback and random beeping. If your detector is giving you erratic readings, simply turn the sensitivity down. The LCD screen is easy to see in daylight and displays not only sensitivity, but notching and discrimination as well. You can use these functions to look for specific kinds of metal. This is incredibly useful if you're searching for a lost gold or silver ring or just trying to find a specific kind of old coin.
There is also a large, centralized pinpoint mode button that is easy to access. This function is useful for more closely identifying what a buried object might be. As with most metal detectors, you'll see a target ID number that corresponds to the conductivity of the metal buried underground, but the Quick Draw Pro also shows you what it might be so you don't need to memorize target ID numbers. Across the top of the LED screen, the detector shows tabs for iron, foil, aluminum, zinc, a quarter and various other common metals. This way, you have an even better idea of what could be underground.
For our tests, we buried objects made of seven different kinds of metal at depths of 2, 6, 10 and 12 inches in soil. We conducted these tests inside with a flower pot, but we made sure to ground the detector and eliminate any interference before we took a reading. The metal detectors in our lineup don't detect 1 foot into the ground, but we wanted to see if there were any standout models. The Quick Draw Pro picked up 57 percent of the objects we buried and correctly identified all but one, earning an A+ in detection.
The Quick Draw Pro displays a found object's possible depth using three arrows. Per the instructions, one arrow means the coin is on the surface, two means it's shallow and three means its deep (about 9 inches.) While this isn't the most accurate system, in our tests we decided objects buried at 2 inches should have shown up at a depth of one arrow, objects buried at 6 inches with two arrows and anything deeper as three arrows. This metal detector got the depth right 36 percent of the time, which was the second highest accuracy rate of the machines we tested. This earned it a B grade for depth accuracy, coming in second to the Bounty Hunter Titanium Camo.
Users also have access to volume control. We favor machines with this option because the beeping gets a little annoying for the user as well as anyone else in the vicinity.
Assembling the Quick Draw Pro was relatively easy as no extra tools were required unlike the Garrett Ace 400. It runs on a 9-volt battery so you should get 20 to 25 hours of treasure hunting from one fully charged battery. It has a five-year warranty, and you can contact Bounty Hunter customer service via phone or by sending a message through the company's website. Our research shows there are numerous metal detecting clubs across the country. If you find yourself struggling, a quick Google search for your nearest metal detecting treasure hunter group could result in not only helpful pointers, but also some new friends. If you live on the coast, the Quick Draw Pro might not be for you though. The instructions specifically say it is not for use on wet sand saltwater beaches. Still, at 2.4 pounds, it's not too heavy so you can go look for treasure for hours on end.
