- Biography
|As the mightiest warrior to ever emerge from the Minotaur tribes of the Great Barrier, Alistar defended his tribe from Valoran's many dangers; that is, until the coming of the Noxian army. Alistar was lured from his village by the machinations of Keiran Darkwill, General Boram Darkwill's youngest son and commander of the Noxian expeditionary force. When Alistar returned, he found his village burning and his family slain. Bellowing with rage, he charged an entire regiment of Noxus' elite, slaughtering them by the hundreds. Only the intervention of some of Noxus' most skilled blood mages checked Alistar's rage. Brought in chains to Noxus, Alistar spent the intervening years as a gladiator in the Fleshing, pitted in endless battle for the entertainment of Noxus' wealthy leaders.
Alistar's once noble soul slowly became twisted, and he would have been driven to insanity if not for Ayelia, a young servant girl who befriended him and eventually arranged for his escape. Suddenly free and with no home to return to, Alistar fled, hoping to one day exact his final vengeance upon Noxus and find the girl who had renewed his hope. He did not slink off into the shadows, however, instead becoming a vocal advocate for those whom the Noxian government treads upon. He also calls to light things that the Noxian military would prefer remain hidden – something that has made him very unpopular with Noxus' nobles. His charitable work has earned him several philanthropic awards, which serve as an interesting contrast to the rage and destruction he is known for in battle.

- Alistar
Patch History[edit]
Base mana and mana growth increased.
Giving Alistar a boost in average play without making him overbearing in pro. The increase in mana helps those who may struggle with managing their resources in lane.
Base Stats
Health decreased.
Alistar's all-in threat is one of the main reasons to pick him, but enemies should be able to punish him for overly greedy dives. Increasing the cow's vulnerability to poke reduces the number of fights he should take, and he'll be generally more susceptible to enemy ganks and dying on the way out from a bad skirmish.
Base stats
Damage reduction on R increased.
Alistar has always needed to get up close and personal, but these days he has to stay there a bit longer to access the full extent of his crowd control. As a result, the Minotaur needs to be a bit tankier when he commits to a fight.
R - Unbreakable Will
Passive heals all nearby allies. E cooldown reduced; empowered attack deals more damage.
Back in pre-season we gave Alistar brand new tools - our goal was to give him more uptime during teamfights and take away the option to be a heal bot during laning phase. Looking back, Ali's got the added uptime we wanted, and his healing patterns are way healthier, but he could scale better into later phases of the game. The payoff for fully stacking Trample could be higher, given how long Alistar has to stay in the thick of battle to do so, and now that the mad cow can't spam his healing we're comfortable restoring its potentially-team-wide effectiveness.
Passive - Triumphant Roar
E - Trample
Gameplay update for Alistar. Passive and E are conceptually swapping places.
Alistar's been on our radar since our "support supports" work earlier in the season. He's got powerful initiation and one of the best damage mitigation tools in the game, but also reliable healing opponents can't really do anything about. It's unclear how to win in lane against a tank that heals his team: poke damage doesn't stick, burst damage isn't enough to bring him down, and you can't get past him to kill his carry instead. This means we've had to water down a lot of Alistar's tools to keep him fair.
As a result, Alistar's teamfight gameplay is marked by a lot of downtime. After initiating with W+Q, he doesn't have much to do beyond pressing R and trying to block skillshots. Damage soaking is an important contribution, but as League's mad cow, we think Alistar should do more to aggressively disrupt the enemy team once he dives into the fray. He's losing some reliability in exchange (particularly in terms of his healing), but a greater risk of failure lets us give him greater rewards for success.
Passive - Triumphant Roar
Q - Pulverize
E - Trample
R - Unbreakable Will
R damage reduction down.
Alistar's the definition of a professional staple, bringing consistent peel, initiation, and diving potential. We're not looking to change that, but when Alistar becomes too reliable he suffocates the rest of the support landscape. We've always been happy with Alistar breaking up the attrition of an all-ranged lane through the threat of tower-dives, but at present he's got too much of a good thing. We're toning back Ali's early-game ability to tank turret shots (and everything else) so opponents have a chance to play around his window of strength rather than just flee for its duration.
R - Unbreakable Will
E's healing on allies down.
Oh, Alistar. Your amazing peel and engage are rivaled only by your sustain, yet one of these things does not belong. While it's important to Alistar to be able to regenerate health between trades (he puts the Ali in All in), his high mana regeneration paired with the effectiveness of his Headbutt/Pulverize combo make him the optimal choice in pro play, no matter what your team needs. We're focusing these changes around a single decision point - which does he value more? Engage potential, or sustain? Constraining the efficiency at which Alistar can heal his allies means that his lane buddies will have to carefully consider what the situation calls for, or risk not having enough health to engage when he does.
Passive - Triumphant Roar
E cost and cooldown up. Q-W combo is finally consistent.
Alistar's got two very different things going on here, so let's tackle 'em separately.
First, Alistar's lane sustain is pretty out of line. For a champion who's supposed to be weak to poke and attrition, the strength of the Meditation mastery and the mana regeneration available to supports just means Alistar outlasts and then all-ins once you've exhausted your resources. Temporarily Ignoring towers and initiating are cool things we like the cow doing, given that he's not guaranteed to be at full health all the time.
Next, the combo. Alistar's Heabutt + Pulverize combo is one of the strongest interactions in the game, but also makes the champion incredibly tricky to balance. It's not the easiest thing to pull off 100% of the time (even in pro play), which means that whenever we have to buff or nerf Alistar, it disproportionately affects players that can hit the combo or not. Not anymore. After 6.3, It's now just a thing Alistar can do with regularity. Now your decisions should be around 'Do I want to use the combo in this situation?' instead of 'Can I do the combo?'
It's a scary world, I know - but we'll be there to hold your hand. Under the tower. While Alistar's diving us. (help)
W - Headbutt
Passive - Triumphant Roar
In a world without mana potions (and generally less early mana regeneration), we've identified a few champions for some emergency rations, giving early mana boosts until they can get their footing and purchase items to make up the deficit. This also means we can really understand which champions relied on mana potions as a crutch to limp through the early to mid game, and we can give additional love if necessary.
Mana Regen
- The following champs have +2.5 base mana regen per 5 seconds:
Headbutt has a slower travel time.
Alistar's been a must-pick in the professional scene for good while thanks to his ability to shine as a primary initiator with his signature Headbutt - > Pulverize combo, which is as time-sensitive to execute as it is to evade. To help even out the playing field for Alistar's opponents, we're giving more time to react with any flashes, dashes or other methods of disrupting his Ali-Oop slam-dunk into your entire team.
W - Headbutt
All of the following champions have had their armor or health per level increased.
As part of patch 5.16's item changes, the efficiency of some popular defensive items have been decreased. However, many 'low-income' tanks and team-disruptors relied pretty heavily on the strength of these items to maintain the right level of bulk for their gold stream - you can read more on the why further down, but each of the below champions are picking up some stat adjustments so they'll hit similar breakpoints when it comes to being unbreakable.
- "Alistar has been updated! Check out the article if you want the full story, or below if you just want the specifics."
- General
- VISUALS : Updated model, textures and VFX for base and all skins
- ICONS : New ability icons
- SPLASH : New base splash!
- "When we buffed Alistar back in 4.12, our big concern for competitive play was that he would be too strong in the jungle, where his terrifying level 2 ganks would obliterate all semblance of lane safety on the map. Didn't happen! He just went to terrorize top lane instead.
- Jokes aside, it's not a bad thing when a champion finds a new position to play on the map, but often times we'll see their strength being used in inhibitive ways (hello Soraka, hello Lulu). We're not taking large steps against Alistar for now, but we did identify one very obnoxious aspect of his strength where he could get a free high-damage trade by Headbutting his opponent while also sneaking in a basic attack. When combined with next-attack items like Sheen, it's easy to see how uninteractive Alistar can get, especially when he puts the opponent in a position where they can't retaliate in a meaningful way. We still think Alistar's in a very strong place after his buffs, but will continue to monitor him for the future."
- W - Headbutt
- SUCKER PUNCH Alistar can no longer land an additional basic attack on his Headbutted target as they fly away
v4.12 Ali's mana costs are lower, and his ult now reduces tons of damage, even at lower levels. In exchange, Ali's jungling is weaker.
"We really want to bring Alistar back up as a support, but our challenge has been to make sure he doesn't also take up his crown of jungling cow king from the days of old. Access to a 'mini' Malphite Unstoppable Force at level 2 (via his Headbutt + Pulverize combo), combined with guaranteed tower dives and the ability to punt people away from safety makes for a pretty oppressive gank-train from the jungle. We want to give Ali the things he needs to succeed but, like we did with Maokai, we also want to make sure he's in a healthy position to do so. There's a little concern that having 70% damage reduction at level 1 Unbreakable Will might make Alistar a little too good at tower diving (even as a support), but we'll see how these changes affect him first."

Some 1 in 5 American adults will experience a psychological illness throughout his or her lifetime, based on the National Alliance on Mental Sickness , however women and men are prone to completely different issues.

Ministers hopeful of getting Brexit deal through Parliament despite DUP fury
David Lidington said he believed there would be a Commons majority for a Brexit deal.
Agreement on a Brexit deal with Brussels will create a "new dynamic" in Parliament which would help secure support for Theresa May's plans, a key ally of the Prime Minister has claimed.
The fragile alliance keeping the Prime Minister in power has been strained as the Democratic Unionist Party railed against measures it fears will create a border down the Irish Sea between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
But David Lidington, Mrs May's de facto deputy prime minister, said he hoped that once a deal was on the table MPs would rally behind it.
Hopes of an imminent breakthrough in the Brexit negotiations have so far failed to be met.
But both Mr Lidington and Ireland's Leo Varadkar suggested a deal could be reached between the UK and EU in the coming weeks.
The Taoiseach said: "A successful outcome is not guaranteed but I think it is possible in the next couple of weeks."
Tensions between Mrs May and her DUP allies have been exposed amid concerns about measures aimed at avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said the Prime Minister appeared "wedded to the idea of a border down the Irish Sea" despite Downing Street's repeated assurances to the contrary.
The response of the DUP has caused frustration in Downing Street, with sources insisting that Mrs May was not hiding behind "weasel words" and had stressed that she would not accept a deal which saw Northern Ireland hived off.
A leaked letter from the Prime Minister in reply to an earlier message from Mrs Foster and her deputy, Nigel Dodds, set out Mrs May's approach.
She wants a "backstop" measure which would create a temporary "joint customs territory" with the EU for the whole of the UK.
But Brussels appears set to insist on a Northern Ireland-only "backstop to the backstop" in case negotiations on a wider UK approach break down or any time limit on it expires.
In the letter, obtained by the Times, Mrs May said: "I am clear that I could not accept there being any circumstances or conditions in which that 'backstop to the backstop', which would break up the UK customs territory, could come in to force."
But she acknowledged that the "unique circumstances" of Northern Ireland "could require specific alignment solutions in some scenarios" on regulations.
The scope of any alignment with Brussels' rules would be limited to what is "strictly necessary" to avoid a hard border.
The DUP has interpreted the wording of her letter to mean that specific Northern Ireland measures will be contained in the Brexit divorce deal despite Mrs May's assurances.
Mrs Foster said: "It appears the Prime Minister is wedded to the idea of a border down the Irish Sea with Northern Ireland in the EU single market regulatory regime."
DUP Brexit spokesman Sammy Wilson told BBC Radio 4's Today programme "we want to trust the Prime Minister" but "you have to judge any promise by what is actually delivered in an agreement".
The party's Westminster leader, Mr Dodds, warned on Sky News: "I think the Prime Minister will hopefully realise what can be got through parliament and what can't."
Any version of the backstop would apply unless and until a wider UK-EU deal on the future relationship solved the issue of how to avoid a hard border with Ireland.
The Prime Minister relies on the support of the DUP's 10 MPs for her Commons majority, votes which will be crucial as she attempts to get a deal through Parliament.
At the British-Irish Council summit in the Isle of Man, Mr Lidington said: "The Prime Minister has always been very clear we won't accept something that involves carving out Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK."
He said a UK-EU deal would involve "compromises, give and take on all sides" but when faced with "product on the table" in the form of an agreement backed by all 28 governments there could be a shift in attitude at Westminster.
"People will need to ask themselves what is it that is going to be in the best interests of those who sent them to Westminster to represent them, to ensure that we maintain living standards and investment and prosperity and employment in our country.
"I hope and I believe that we can secure that majority in Parliament for the agreement."
Mr Varadkar, who was also at the Isle of Man summit, said "it is more likely than not that we will be able to conclude an agreement" in the coming weeks but "lots of things can go wrong" – including having to get a deal through Westminster and the European Parliament.
"Even when all of that is done, then we begin the talks on the future relationship," he added.
"There is no clean break here, Brexit is going to go on for a very long time."

Two CRSI nominees win DSP awards, a third is honored
Two DSP's representing CRSI, Brad Sterling and Cheryl Reed, have won awards presented to Outstanding Direct Support Professionals by the Ohio Provider Resources Association (OPRA).

He usually spends his holidays working so that he can take Tony to all his family functions. Brad's family welcomes Tony into their home as if he is part of their family.
According to the nomination, Brad is a great team member who brings a lot of knowledge and fore-thought to the table. An example is that he started a white board quote that is on display for everyone to see. October's quote is
"Positive thoughts generate positive feelings and attract positive life experiences." Another quote is, "Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence."
Even when some days are tough, Brad Sterling comes to work with a smile on his face and he is very excited to see what positive spin he can put on the challenges for the day.

Celebrity Whistleblower Attorney™ Mychal Wilson, Esq. Discusses #MeToo Movement And Sexual Harassment
The Whistleblower with Mychal Wilson, Esq.LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, April 4, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrity Whistleblower Attorney™ Mychal Wilson, Esq.1 Discusses #MeToo Movement And Sexual Harassment On The Whistleblower
The Law Office of Mychal Wilson
LOS ANGELES, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mychal Wilson, Esq., discusses the #Metoo Movement and sexual harassment on his new show "The Whistleblower."
The April 3, 2018 episode features Ms. Lydie Denier, a former model and actress ("Tarzan" series) and current TV Host ("Time to Get Real with Lydie Denier"), and author Ms. DeAnna Lorraine ("Making Love Great Again: The New Road to Reviving Romance and Winning at Relationships").
On his March 27th, 2018 show, Mychal Wilson, Esq. discussed questionable new heart device experimentation on unsuspecting patients with cardiologist Dr. Nalini Rajamannan, who also exposed alleged sexual harassment occurring at the prestigious Northwestern University.
Mychal says, "I would like to thank Ms. Denier, Ms. Larraine, and Ms. Rajamannan for appearing on my show. Their stories are important to the current cultural movements occurring in today's society."
"In today's evolving cultural climate, I want to give the public an insider's view into the risky, secret and potentially lucrative world known as 'whistleblowing,' a show which explores and examines the courage and integrity within us, and in some cases the potentially highly lucrative rewards received by those Davids fighting those Goliaths. And, to feature and applaud those individuals who help bring about justice for others, which is sometimes at their own expense," says Mychal Wilson, Esq.
Mychal Wilson, Esq. is a successful relator and Qui Tam attorney who has assisted various Federal and State agencies in the recovery of over $580 million in American taxpayer's dollars, who recently launched his new 30 minute news series titled "The Whistleblower with Mychal Wilson, Esq."

Currently, the show's streaming content features compelling whistleblower journeys such as successful whistleblower Mr. James Holzrichter, who, after overcoming retaliation and homelessness, received $22.4 million in a $135 million settlement against one of America's largest defense contractors Northrop Grumman, opioid (Fentanyl) and INSYS whistleblower Ms. Patricia Nixon, and Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment whistleblower Ms. Katherine Kendall.
While not offering legal advice, "The Whistleblower with Mychal Wilson, Esq." does provide examples of legal recourse for potential whistleblowers, and for those who are being harassed, wrongfully terminated and/or retaliated against by her or his employer. "Been there, done that, as a former big pharma sales rep, so now I want to help those who may be facing similar hostile work environments," declares Mychal Wilson, Esq.
"I would like to thank American national television host, radio host, columnist and political commentator Rick Amato, producer Sutton Porter, and RADTV for the opportunity to create and distribute this show," says Mychal Wilson.

|India to seek UN sanctions against Salahuddin
JPNN/New Delhi / May 18, 2015/India is in the process of seeking UN sanctions against banned Hizbul Mujahideen supremo Syed Salahuddin for a freeze on his assets and a travel ban for his association with Al-Qaeda terror group and its affiliates like Lashker-e-Taiba. After filing a chargesheet against 64-year-old Salahuddin, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) compiled a dossier and routed it to Ministry of External Affairs for submission before the UN to seek sanctions similar to those issued against underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. An Interpol Red Corner Notice was pending against Salahuddin, whose actual identity is Mohammed Yusuf Shah, and hails from Soibug area of Budgam district in central Kashmir.
The sources said MEA was in the process of taking concurrence of 15 member states in the United Nations Security Council before introducing it before the world body.Salahuddin, who keeps shuttling between Rawalpindi and his Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir residence and at one time headed the United Jihad Council, may be declared an international terrorist under UN Security Council Resolution 1267 of the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee if New Delhi's request is acceded to by the global body.India's case before the UN is that Salahuddin had headed the United Jehad Council, which is related to the Al-Qaeda, the sources said. He was chargesheeted by the NIA last year for his alleged involvement in sending funds for terror activities through a charitable institution.Dawood was listed by the UN in 2010 for his association with Al-Qaeda.The UN Committee, established pursuant to security council resolution 1267 (1999), is a Security Council subsidiary organ that oversees the implementation by member states of the three sanctions measures (assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo) imposed against targeted individuals and entities associated with Al-Qaida, as designated by the Committee in its Sanctions List.Agency

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

General Notes:
Anthony Ellis has the type of body that most NFL scouts can't get over when it comes to defensive players. However, I'm not like most NFL scouts.
Despite not looking like a Marvel superhero, Ellis gets the job done as a pass rusher and run defender. He plays with very active hands, and he has the strength to get full extension with one arm against much larger linemen.
I wouldn't suggest Ellis declare early due to the bias the NFL has against FCS players. But he's someone I would keep my eye on as a rotational pass rusher in the mold of Jarvis Jones or Markus Golden.
He's a smart player who deserves more attention.

Home>> CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS/ MIRIZZI SYNDROME
Choledocholithiasis also called common bile duct (CBD) stones is the presence of agallstone in the common bile duct. The bile duct is the small tubethat carries bile from the gallbladder to the intestine. Gallstonesusually form in your gallbladder, which is a pear-shaped organ belowyour liver in the upper-right side of your abdomen. These stonesusually remain in the gallbladder and may or may not cause symptoms.Many a time they may pass through the common bile duct unobstructed.Symptoms of choledocholithiasis develop if the stones get lodged andblock the bile duct
Symptomsof choledocholithias
Thepredominant symptoms include -
abdominalpain in the upper or right -upper abdomen
jaundice(yellowing of the skin and eyes)
lossof appetite
nauseaand vomiting
Sometimesif the obstruction is severe, the bile gets infected and infectionspreads rapidly and leads to a condition called cholangitis.Cholangitis is a medical emergency and needs to be treatedappropriately at an early stage.
Yourphysician would subject you to the following tests to diagnosecholedocholithiasis
Bloodtests– these would reveal the the extent of jaundice and presence ofinfection and also indicate presence of cholangitis.
CTscan abdomen
Endosonography– Here a long flexible tube fitted with light and small ultrasoundprobe is passed into the oral cavity and stones in the CBD can bediagnosed and appropriate treatment instituted. Any other problemapart from stones can also be clearly visualised and biopsies takenif necessary.
ERCP– Here an endoscope – a long flexible tube fitted with light andcamera, is passed through your oral cavity and into the duodenum, anda dye is injected into the biliary system to diagnosecholedocholithiasis. Your physician may also be able to remove bileduct stone by ERCP. Once stones are cleared from the bile duct, latera laparoscopic surgery(laparoscopic cholecystectomy) would berequired to remove the gall bladder
Surgery– In case your physician is not able to remove bile duct stones byERCP, during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a small incision can bemade on the bile duct and stones can be removed.
Ultimately,the type of treatment is based on the location and size of the stoneand the degree of technical expertise available to your treatingphysician.

With the rate of unemployment on the rise, the Barbados Youth Business Trust (BYBT) says there is a noticeable gender divide in terms of the increased number of aspiring entrepreneurs turning to the youth development organization for help in starting up their own businesses.
General Manager Cardell Fergusson reported that over the past two years there has been a 30 per cent increase in requests and that the 20-year-old BYBT had assisted on average about 145 entrepreneurs per year between the ages of 18 and 30 years.
"What we have seen is that with the decrease in employment and with people looking to create their own legacy and start their own businesses, we are seeing a lot more persons coming to us for support," Fergusson said.
However, she pointed out that more women were taking advantage of the opportunities than men.
"The ratio is fairly average, which is about 60 per cent female, 40 per cent male, but that does not truly reflect how many males or females are getting into business.
"What we recognize is that males are more reluctant to come for assistance. They will try something and when it does not succeed or when they are getting a lot of difficulties and can't help themselves, that is when they come to us," she explained following this morning's presentation of a $30,000 cheque to BYBT by Tropical Shipping, a subsidiary of the Seattle-based parent company Saltchuk.
Fergusson said the funds would be used to provide start-up loans to aspiring entrepreneurs, while noting that the success rate for businesses that benefited from the BYBT assistance over past three years was about 75 per cent.
"So what we have been able to do, and one of the biggest factors in that success is the business mentors. The business mentors are persons who are able to advise the young entrepreneurs on all of the pitfalls of starting businesses, and they are able to avoid those and stay in business for longer," said Fergusson.
Island Manager for Tropical Shipping Andre Gibson said his company was pleased to be partnering with BYBT, which provides training, financing, workshops, mentors and other technical support to aspiring and existing entrepreneurs.
"We were pleased to understand the work that the Youth Business Trust does and it is a really good fit to our mandate so it was a very easy selection and we look forward to an ongoing partnership.
"We will have an advisory role to do now that we are partnering with the Youth Business Trust. So we look forward to the positive outcomes that lie ahead and to continue supporting the Trust and the good work that they have done already. It was that good work that gave us the confidence to have the partnership and lend them the support that we could," he said, while revealing that the company had also made a monetary donation to the St Lucia Business Trust.

The council's cabinet will consider a proposal to relocate staff to new office premises on Fletton Quays at a meeting on Monday 7 March 2016.
If agreed the council would become an anchor tenant on this key city centre site in 2018; helping to kick-start the wider £120million redevelopment that is set to include a hotel and 280 homes as well as securing the future of the listed railway sheds.
The proposal is set to generate the council additional income of £7.6million over the coming years which will help to protect services.
The city council would lease both Bayard Place and the non-civic areas of the Town Hall for commercial use. The civic areas of the Town Hall, including the Council Chamber, would be retained and used as present.
Councillor David Seaton, cabinet member for resources at the council, said: "The council has shown its commitment to the regeneration of Fletton Quays as a key city centre site. By becoming the first tenant it will kick-start the wider redevelopment planned.
"However we have always insisted that it must be financially beneficial to the council in order to protect council taxpayers from extra cost. The business case shows that not only will this move benefit the city and residents but will also generate income to protect services."
The council first stated in 2014 its intention to occupy new office premises on Fletton Quays, provided that the overall proposal would be financially beneficial to the city and the council.
A business case to be presented to cabinet states that the move will generate additional income over the next 27 years and confirms that the relocation will not come at the expense of taxpayers.
This additional income will include the council's share of proceeds from the sale of the Fletton Quays site to developers, as a joint partner of the Peterborough Investment Partnership.
The financial benefits to the council also include rental income from leasing Town Hall and Bayard Place and no longer renting Manor Drive. Through the redevelopment of Fletton Quays income will also be generated from additional business rates.
This is set to outweigh costs of the project, which include leasing the new office and capital borrowing needed to fit out the new offices.
Councillor Seaton added: "The council's current accommodation no longer reflects how the council has changed over the last decade. In Peterborough we have seen huge reductions in funding, major changes in the way services are delivered and a decrease in the number of staff we employ.
"Moving forward the council is modernising the way we deliver services and the way staff work. These new facilities will allow staff to work more flexibly and efficiently to the benefit of residents. Councillors have indicated they wish to retain the historic civic areas and we have listened to that."
Further details are available in the full cabinet report.

I am so happy that you're excited! And honestly, I wouldn't have an ARC of this one either! I got it on First to Read (and spent all of my points to guarantee a copy, LOL). The romance is AMAZING! And the ending is really really satisfying! I think you will have NO issues with this book, Carina. I hope you love it!Delete
OOoh nice! I soooo cannot wait to read this one! It kind of slipped past me at first, but then when I really looked at it, I became intrigued! I love me a good retelling, be it fairy tale, myth, legend, etc! And yeah, I watched the Disney version (along with all the sequels and TV series) a LOT as a kid, so I'll be happy to read this new different take on it!ReplyDelete
I'm most curious to see the romance blossoming between Aladdin and the djinn! Totally diverting from the Disney version where he just fell in love at the sight of the princess! So yay!
Glad you thought so highly of this one! Great review!
*I had to go back and look for the original cover because I could tell it had been changed as well. I think I rather liked the original more too. It was just more mysterious in a way...but oh well!Replies
I'm glad you're interested! I hope you get the chance to read this one and love it, Jessica. You'll enjoy the romance. ;) Wasn't the first cover amazing? I don't hate this new one, but original one was lovely!Delete

This one was a bit of a marathon read for me. I reckon I've been reading it for the best part of ten days but then it is four books in one with a page count of 690. (And thus book three of my Chunkster Challenge.)
The Earthsea Quartet, by Ursula K. Le Guin, comprises The Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore - all written in the 1970s - and Tehanu, the sequel to The Farthest Shore, written in 1990. Basically, they are the life and adventures of a wizard named Ged, from the day he was found to have magical powers as a boy until... well... until whatever it was that happened to him at the end of The Farthest Shore. I'm not saying. ;-) We also meet Tenar who is High Priestess to the Nameless Ones in my favourite of the four, The Tombs of Atuan, (my fav. because it was so creepy) and Arren, the teenage Prince of Enlad, who accompanies Ged on his voyage in The Farthest Shore. Those two have large parts to play in the series and in a way you get to know them better than the enigmatic Ged because three of the four books are written mainly from their pov.
As with other good books it's hard for me to do this one justice. I thought it was superb. Le Guin's world building is mind boggling and I fell in love with the Earthsea archipeligo which consists of hundreds of islands and is thus a maritime world. You want to go somewhere... you go by boat or you don't go. There are wizards and ordinary mortals, dragons, priestesses, dead people galore, witches, royalty - the cast is endless. Best of all, I've discovered that there are two more books that I didn't know about, one a short story collection based in the Earthsea world and the second an actual sequel to Tehanu. I'm delighted and can't recommend this one enough to any fantasy fans out there.

Friday Random Ten--The Joe Meek Edition
I almost named it the "We Ain't Kathleen Hanna, but we are Alanis Morissette Edition", but despite Lauren's attempts to claim we aren't cool, I think Lauren is so cool. And so, the all-Joe-Meek edition of the random ten, to best remind everyone that some of us insufferable hipsters keep on keeping on. Also, I got a bunch of Joe Meek compiliations loaded into my library and I thought it would be funny.

2. "Cyclone"--The Tornados

This post was modified from the original on 2014-03-10.
Every so often my schedule contains immovable objects and we just can't get the Airstream around it all.
So it was this week with a whirlwind tour of central timezone cities. We decided to leave the Airstream and streamer_j in Denver and I am doing my old routine of flying. Much to streamer_j's chagrin I am writing this from a combination of the relative comfort of the Marriott in West Des Moines and somewhere in the air on AA2302.
The complication for poor streamer_j is weather. Highs in the 10s and 20s all week and lows in the negatives. Airstreams aren't built for that. Frozen dump valves have plagued us for months. We have muddled through with lots of antifreeze down the toilet and leaving the grey water valve open, but it was still frequent work with the heat gun.
To more thoroughly address the problem of frozen drains I tried heat tape and insulation around the exposed drain pipes. This required removing the sewer hose storage tube (we keep the hose in the rear bumper anyway) which was in the way. Unfortunately this method failed. We woke up to frozen valves. I speculate this was due to improper installation of the heat tape.
So I decided to box in the dump valves with 1″ insulating polystyrene sheets and heat that box with a space heater. While awful-looking, it worked very well. No frozen dump valves and a very toasty box. I was particularly pleased with my tape-hinged door to enable access to the dump valves.
Nonetheless as temperatures dropped and remained in the teens we started encountering frozen interior water lines, no matter how much propane we burned. Keeping cabinet doors open was insufficient because the water lines are routed under the floor. In our 28′ International this first manifested in the bathroom.
There are only two ways to deal with this: move, or skirt. As I mentioned, moving wasn't an option this week.
As it turns out skirting is not difficult. There are companies that custom make good looking RV skirting but it's not a last minute option.
So I went to Home Depot and bought three rolls of Reflectix reflective insulation applied as follows:
- Tape a line all around the Airstream with non-marking heavy duty blue painters' tape.
- Fix the reflective insulation to the blue tape with Duck tape. Just go right around the rear bumper.
- Use leftover insulation to patch gaps behind steps and under A-frame.
- Put two 1,500W space heaters under the Airstream at either ends. Connect to 20amp outlets at camp spot electrical stand.
We are using a temperature gauge with a remote sensor placed under the Airstream. As of writing these are the results.
Units are in farenheight for temperatures and wind speed is in MPH. We are maintaining these temperatures with almost no propane since our oil-filled electric radiator is doing a great job inside. It's not cool, but it's working.
– Anthony, West Des Moines, Iowa & in the air


text: Assistance payments If you are experiencing financial hardship as a result of a disaster, you may receive a relief payment from: local, state or federal government agencies a charity or community group your employer. Most one-off assistance payments are tax-free, but regular Centrelink payments remain taxable. Emergency assistance in the form of gifts from family and friends is not taxable. If you use an assistance payment to purchase items for your business, the normal conditions for deductibility apply. The fact that money from a relief fund is used to purchase an item does not affect the deductibility of that item. Grants from government and private funding bodies do not attract GST, provided the grant recipient doesn't provide anything of value in return. For some major disasters, we have published a list of 'affected postcodes' to help us identify people and businesses in disaster-affected areas. See also: Grants and sponsorship Specific disasters Government disaster recovery payments If you have received a relief payment from a local, state or federal government agency, you need to understand what type of payment it is and how it affects your tax. Common types of government disaster relief payments are: Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments (DRP) Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA), and ex-gratia recovery payments. Australian Government Disaster Recovery Payments (DRP) If you receive a DRP, it will be treated as exempt income. You do not pay tax on this amount but you need to include it when you work out your tax loss. Disaster Recovery Allowance (DRA) and Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) DRA and NDRRA payments are generally taxable. However, the Australian Government may declare that, for some natural disasters, DRA and NDRRA payments are exempt income. You do not pay tax on exempt income but you include the amount when you work out your tax loss. Ex-gratia recovery payments The tax treatment of ex-gratia recovery payments depends on the specific circumstances of the payments. In some recent cases the Australian Government has decided to exempt such payments from tax. We can't advise you about the tax treatment of ex-gratia payments until the Government decides on the tax status of that type of payment. Charities and community groups If you receive assistance from a charitable organisation, the payment you receive is not taxable. These payments have no GST implications. The organisations make these payments voluntarily to help you with the basic necessities of life. You have no right or entitlement to the payment - the payment is in the nature of a gift to you from the organisation. Your employer Salary or wages are taxable because they are part of your ordinary income. They have to be included as income in your tax return and your employer will specify the amount as normal salary or wages in your annual payment summary. However, emergency assistance from your employer - for example, one-off and other non-periodic emergency relief payments is not taxable. An employer is not required to withhold tax from a payment that is not taxable. An employer who gives emergency assistance to an employee can claim a tax deduction as a business expense. You may receive assistance from government authorities, charitable institutions, employers, your family, a trade union or other sources. Most one-off assistance payments are tax free, but regular Centrelink payments remain taxableLast modified: 24 Mar 2017QC 21525

This sacred spot affords the kumu (master) and haumana (student) a pristine view into Halema`uma`u, the home of volcanic deity Pelehonuamea. This schedule is subject to change. Please check with Desiree at (808) 987-7288 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm dates.

***So this is Friends & Family Friday!! This is my day to talk more about my friends and family (aside from sharing waaay too much about their love lives on my other blog, lol). My friends and family are lovely people, that much I know for sure. Have fun getting to know them through my eyes.***
So, I've been hanging out with my mom a lot this week. First was the baseball game on Sunday with my family & PT. Next was the Maxwell & Jill Scott concert on Tuesday. And Thursday night, we went to see Sex and the City 2 with two of my friends. I know some people who don't like kicking it with their parents, but I just don't get it. Mine are awesome and so much fun. My mom gets along great with my friends and we had a blast.
Anyone who reads my blog knows I mention my friends Top and Bad quite often. Top told me yesterday via instant messenger that I have been slipping on my blogging. I told her I had been super busy this week and she should stop being dramatic, lol. Then she told me she felt like she had just started watching a television show and two weeks in, they began to show replays! I laughed so hard at that and immediately felt obliged to have a post up for today.
I thought I'd write about the Sex and the City 2 movie since I went to see it with both family and friends and the movie is about Carrrie's family and friends. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, so don't worry, there won't be a single spoiler in this blog post.
I loved the Sex and the City television show because it was about single, fabulous women in the big city, working hard to achieve their goals in love, career, and life. The show started with Carrie as a sex columnist. We were so excited that she got ad space on the side of a bus, remember? She was also working on finding a passionate, all-consuming love that would make her want to give up being single. Miranda was working hard to earn the notice of the partners at her law firm. She was working on finding a man who just wouldn't be intimdated by her too much. Charlotte was used to having money, but was doing big things in the art world. Turns out she was looking for a man with the standing in life to allow her to be a housewife. She wouldn't wait to quit her job to become Dr. Mrs. Trey MacDougal (or however you spell it). Samantha was making a name for herself in PR and getting better at it every year. When she fell in love, it was on accident, and she was just looking for instant gratification, even if it came in a long-term package (get it? package? lol).
By the time the show ended, Carrie had become an acclaimed author and was with Mr. John Preston. Miranda had become partner and was married to a man she had a lovely child with. Charlotte was married to her second husband (a much better fit) and they had just been approved for adoption. Samantha had found a long-term instant gratification package and a way to spread her PR influence all the way the West Coast all in the form of one Smith Jerrod. Things were going well.
The first movie was all about these women seeing that working hard to get everything you wanted came with a price. Miranda was losing focus on what mattered and her husband cheated on her. Carrie let the wedding get "bigger than Big". Samantha let being Jerry's PR person take over who she was. And Charlotte let becoming a mother consume her as well. But they got through it.
So this new movie, what was left? Well, the women got everything they had all dreamed of, so what next? They had to learn that having everything they dreamed of wasn't what they dreamed it would be. And apparently, it's more interesting to find that out in Abu Dhabi. As over-the-top as the storylines, clothing, and dialogue might be, these stories are relatable because the things that happen to these four women happen to real women everyday, though maybe not on so grand a scale. I've even compared the major men in Carrie's life to major men in my own life. My story will end differently than hers though.
And I'm Top's Carrie, I just don't dress like her, lol. She's my... cross between Samantha and Miranda. She has Samantha's fearlessness mixed with Miranda's cynicism. She also has a bit of Carrie in her with her individualism. The one thing she's not is a Charlotte. I don't have any friends who would be a Charlotte. Charlotte kind of irritates me. But I'll stop there cause some people are die-hard Charlotte fans.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Malta
Between the 31st March & 2nd April 2017, another edition of the IBJJF Rome & Europeans No-Gi Open was held in Rome, Italy. This time, this annual event was organised at the PalaPellicone in Ostia and not in the crowded city centre of the eternal city. This yeat, our team was represented by Matthew Camilleri (Blue), Jozua Curmi and Joseph Abela (Purple) and our Instructor Keith Darmanin (Black). In the Gi competition, Matthew Camilleri managed to win his first match but was stopped in his second round. Unfortunately, both Jozua Curmi and Joseph Abela didn't make it through their first match. Meanwhile, Keith Darmanin managed to win his semi-final match but lost his final.
In the No-Gi competition, Matthew Camilleri was stopped by one of the finalists of the category. Joseph Abela, had a tough match which he was also winning on points but he ended up making a small mistake which cost him the match. Keith Darmanin managed to pass both his quarter and semi final rounds and the final of the No-Gi was a repetition of the Gi final the day before, thus another Silver medal for Keith Darmanin.
During the weekend, Inst Keith Darmanin also attended the IBJJF Rules course. Since the game is always evolving and the rules are changing from time to time, it's very important for instructors to know the rules to be able to prepare better their students who are interested in competitive Jiu-Jitsu.
On Saturday 16th December 2017 we organised our annual End of Year Meeting. During this special session, Instructor Keith Darmanin showed various illegal techniques as per IBJJF regulations, some of them which are completely illegal, such as the Kani Basami (Scissors Takedown), various Heel Hook entries and other illegal techniques for the Whites/Blue/Purple like the Kote Gaeshi (Wrist Lock), Knee Bar, Arm/Leg Slicers, etc.
At the end of the session, some members were awarded another stripe to their belt, but the highlight was the promotion to Purple Belt of Matthew Azzopardi after more than 4 years as a Blue Belt.

Double the Donation is Proud to Announce Matching Gift Integration with Funraise
Atlanta, GA (April 22, 2019) — Double the Donation is proud to announce our latest integration with Funraise, a leading provider of innovative fundraising technology. 360MatchPro is debuting on the Funraise platform as the preferred matching gifts solution for Funraise customers.
360MatchPro is readily available for all of Funraise's current and future customers to provide easy-to-use, fully-automated corporate matching gift capabilities. Once a Funraise customer has a 360MatchPro account, they are able to turn on the matching gift functionality directly within the Funraise platform, or they can create an account right then and there.
"We're thrilled to be working with Double the Donation on behalf of Funraise's customers," said Justin Wheeler, Funraise CEO & Co-founder. "Their 360MatchPro product doesn't just save our clients time and effort—this integration also increases donation revenue while ditching donor frustration during the donation process. It's Funraise's mission to do away with the nonprofit struggle using smart, nonprofit-led fundraising technology, which is why Double the Donation's 360MatchPro is a perfect match with Funraise."
By allowing users to embed Double the Donation's advanced search tool across their website pages and giving forms, as well as encouraging the use of automated email marketing, 360MatchPro helps organizations to enlighten their donors about matching gift opportunities. The biggest hurdle to building matching gift revenue is the lack of awareness about these programs among donors.
"Funraise is such a great company to work with, and we are very happy to provide their customers with our advanced matching gift tools," said Adam Weinger, President of Double the Donation. "With automated follow-up, these nonprofits are able to claim some of the $4-7 billion of matching gift revenue that goes unclaimed every year. We truly believe that, in addition to access to our thorough database of companies that offer matching gifts, automating the follow-up process revolutionizes existing matching gift programs."
With 360MatchPro, nonprofit organizations are able to identify match-eligible donors, track the status of those donors' match requests, and automate the follow-up emails that will drive these matches to completion. The platform also provides actionable insights to help nonprofits shape their matching gift programs moving forward.
360MatchPro's innovative software is able to identify match-eligible donors through email capture, self-identification, and bulk uploads. From there, 360MatchPro drives these matches to completion using customized, automated email streams.
Every nonprofit organization and educational institution can benefit from corporate matching gift revenue. However, nonprofit organizations often don't have the resources to incorporate matching gifts into their overall fundraising strategy, or they can't afford to dedicate a full-time employee to a matching gift program. With 360MatchPro, the automated email streams handle all of the necessary follow-up to build an effective matching gift program with no manpower necessary.
