Erotic Story/Crazy Lenny Mrs. Sophia takes on Lenny and friends
Lenny loves to be with older women, Sophia is at the mall craddle-snatching, and she is about to take home a bunch of young boys home for an orgy.
Having nothing better to do after lectures, Lanre, Bassey, and I walked over to the game arcade at Silverbird Galleria. We don't do this all the time, but when we do, none of us have a lot of money. So we usually play just a couple of video games, then walk around the cinema and look for chicks.
The game arcade wasn't crowded at that time of the afternoon, but there were a few people there. The two guys who worked there weren't much older than we are, and all three of us were 20 years of age. There were a few other guys there, a group of girls, and some children with their moms.
We had just started in on our first game, when I spotted her nearby, watching us. I presumed that she was a mom there with her own kids, but she seemed to just be hanging around where we were in the back, out of view from everybody else.
I might have noticed her eventually, because I'm always horny and I don't have a problem looking at older women. I won't admit it even to my friends, but I lust for just about anything female, even my older female lecturers and my friends' moms and women in my neighborhood.
But I noticed her first off because she was looking at us and smiling. She had stylish hair that complimented her beautiful face. Her skirt was hemmed just about mid-thigh, another reason that I would have noticed her eventually.
Not really short, but not common on someone her age. Her legs looked pretty good, certainly good enough for me.
Her blouse was light blue material. Her breasts weren't big at all, but she had some. I would like to fuck her if I had the chance.
We were playing a car racing game with a steering wheel and a pedal that can play up to four people. It was my turn, and I did pretty well. When I was done, I looked up to see her standing right behind us, watching us play our game.
She spoke to me.
"You did well. Do you play this game a lot?"
"Uh, no, not too much," I said.
She stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me, watching Bassey play.
Bassey finished up, and the game was over. We started to move away from the game.
"Oh, play another!" She exclaimed."
"I'll pay!" She pulled a handful of naira notes out of her purse, and handed them to Lanre.
"Thanks," said Lanre.
"Can I play, too?" She asked.
"Sure," said Lanre. The lady took the first turn on the game, and didn't do too well. When she backed off, Lanre took his turn. She stood behind me, pressing her chest against the back of my shoulder. I do get a lot of physical contact with many females, but having this woman that close, knowing her breasts were back there pressing into me, smelling just a hint of perfume, was enough to get my dick tingling.
But I noticed that she was leaning up against Bassey, too.
When Lanre finished with his turn and I took mine, she was talking to him and standing shoulder-to-shoulder, too. Lanre and Bassey always bragged about banging few girls in their area, but they appeared happy to be receiving attention from this lady, whoever she was, too.
After my turn, I stood next to her again. I stared closer at her face as she watched the game. She had the face of a goddess. She was probably real beauty in her youth, but she had an even pretty face even now, with her sexy eyes, small nose and full lips.
There were moles around her eyes and above her lips. Of course I looked down at her breast, which looked soft and bouncy. I was guessing that she was about mid-forties.

She looked over and caught me looking at her. She smiled as I quickly looked away then she leaned in to see the game. Her blouse fell open, and naturally, my eyes went down her top.
Way down. The lighting was not great in the back of the game arcade, but I could see past the point of her cleavages, to the top of her breasts. She wasn't wearing a bra!
Her breasts didn't look big, but I didn't care, they were BREASTS, and enough to feel. My dick hardened in my trouser. I glanced up to make sure she didn't catch me looking at her breasts, and I noticed that Bassey was on the other side of her, also looking down her blouse, with his mouth open.
We finished the first game, and she gave us more money to play. It was my turn.
"My name is Sophia," I heard her say to the others, who murmured their names to her.
When I was done I backed away, getting into position to see her cleavage again.
"I'm Sophia. What's your name?" She asked me.
She smiled wider, and her eyes dropped from my eyes, down my body. "And are you…"
"Are you endowed?" she asked, alternately looking from my eyes to my crotch. She didn't really mean it the way it sounded, did she?
"yeah, sure," I muttered.
I didn't want to brag, but I had a long length of dick, so I was hoping that's what she meant.
Lanre, the most forward of the three of us with women, asked her, "Are you here with somebody?"
"No. Just me," Sophia replied.
"Are you from around here?" Lanre asked.
"I stay in Lekki."
"Here to watch some movie?" Lanre continued.
"No, not really. Just looking for some action," Sophia said with a seductive smile.
Sophia stood to the right side of the car racing game, and leaned way over, watching Bassey play. Her blouse gapped way open. I was standing to her immediate left, and I could see her whole right breasts! It was not tiny, but a little on the smallish side maybe, and it looked very firm.
Her areola was a darker brown shade, not too large. Her nipple looked soft and fairly thick.
Lanre was on the opposite side of the game, across from her, but her blouse was so wide open that I could bet that he was seeing her breasts, too. And certainly Bassey could see her breasts as he played the game, he probably did, because he drove off the side of the road and ended his turn, but wouldn't leave the steering wheel.

All three of us were leaning in towards Sophia. Sophia looked around at us with a sardonic smile. I had a feeling that she knew what she was showing, and where we were looking.
Sophia stood behind me again, and this time when she pressed her breasts into my shoulder, I knew that it wasn't covered by a bra. I rubbed my shoulder back and forth against it, and Sophia boldly slid her breasts up and down on my shoulder. I felt her hand on my back, over my shirt. It dropped down quickly, and as it fell away it brushed down over my right butt cheek. Did she mean that?
Yes she did, because soon the hand was back on my hip. There was nobody else in the last row of games in the back of the game arcade, but on occasion another parent or employee wandered through. So there was temporary privacy but people could be watching.
Sophia's hand slid down my back, and palmed my ass cheek again. I saw her glance back behind me and check out my ass. I just stood motionless, and gladly accepted the grope.
But I wasn't alone. I saw her lean over to Lanre on her left, whisper something to him, and run her left hand down his loose-fitting chinos.
My left arm was down my side, and I rubbed it along Sophia's right hip. She leaned into it. As she took another feel of my ass, I glanced around to make sure nobody else was looking at us. I put my palm lightly on her lower back, on her blouse just above her skirt. I brushed it downward, and caught a quick rub of her ass cheek over her skirt before quickly moving it up to her back.
Sophia responded by squeezing my ass a couple of times. So I moved my hand back down, grabbed her left ass cheek, and squeezed it. It was the roundest ass I had ever felt, and it was firm and fleshy, and I loved the way the flesh gave way to my grasp.
"Do you guys like cars? Do you drive?" Sophia asked us.
Lanre spoke for all of us. "I have my license."

"I have a Toyota Landcruiser jeep," Sophia said.
"Cool! That's one of my dream cars," said Bassey, the only one of us interested in cars.
"Do you want to take it for a test drive?" Sophia asked Bassey.
"One of you said he owns a driving license, you brought it with you right? That makes it legal."
"You mean it?" Bassey asked.
"Wouldn't that be more fun than standing here pretending to drive a car? Oyah let's all take my jeep for a drive after this game."
We mumbled "OK," and continued playing the current game. I had to wonder what this lady was up to. Why should she want to us to drive her jeep? Was she really that lonely that she wanted to spend time with us? I looked at her hands.
Her left hand had a wedding ring on it, and what looked to me to be a large diamond ring. As much as I wanted to believe that she wanted to fuck one or more of us, which was just too good to be true. But as long as there was the slimmest chance, I was willing to go along.

I am so thankful for the way God has carried me through some tough days over the past couple of weeks. Thank you to the many people who prayed for me. I definitely felt uplifted!
Today I am doubly thankful because my friend Patricia Knight has graciously allowed me to share another of her great devotionals with you. And I don't think the subject of this devotional is a mere coincidence—more like what Pat and I call a "God-incidence." Pat, I thank you, my dear, dear friend!
By Patricia Knight
Is there any place a child would rather be than hoisted up onto his father's broad shoulders, with legs wrapped securely around his dad's chest, held in his firm grasp? What a view from the child's loving perch at the top of his world! The boy's little hands run playfully through his dad's hair until his father suddenly lunges forward, pretending to stumble. Suddenly the child reaches out in desperation as his once relaxed body contracts in fear. When his jerking hands instinctively reach to grasp something safe, he lands a choke hold on his father's neck. Then his dad laughs uproariously, vowing to play no more tricks. The child relaxes once more in the shelter of his father's love and protection. The playful ride continues until the father is happily exhausted.
Being lifted up and revered is not just child's play. We all crave protection and the ability to view the world buoyed by the safety of our heavenly Father's shoulders. "Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders" (Deut. 33:12).
Our heavenly Father never stumbles nor will He ever carry us into dangerous territory. When times in our life are tough, God often carries us on His shoulders, the safest place in the world to be. Who among us doesn't long for absolute security and safety? Moses reminded God's people, "The Lord your God carried you as a father carries His son" (Deut 1:31).
Our ride of assurance by God is not a one-time, fun-time. "I've been carrying you on my back from the day you were born, and I'll keep on carrying you when you're old. I'll be there bearing you when you're old and gray. I've done it and will keep on doing it, carrying you on my back, saving you" (Is 46:4, The Message).
Remember, when we attempt to navigate the seemingly insurmountable trappings of life, we are not alone. God, who created us, will sustain us. Relax your tight muscles of fear. Enjoy the promise of your Lord's vast resources of peace and safety, love and kindness, faithfulness and forgiveness.
God's shoulders are massive, supporting us when we are burdened with a load of care. He delights in His children, desiring to lavish all of us with His love and grace. Let us rejoice in the abundant encouragement God offers. Only then can we enjoy the ride through life, held securely on His shoulders.
Everything I Need
by Kutless
When every step is so hard to take
And all of my hope is fading away
When life is a mountain that I can not climb
You carry me, Jesus carry me.
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
When every moment is more than I can take
And all of my strength is slipping away
When every breath gets harder me
You carry me, Jesus carry me.
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
I need You
You are everything I need
I love everything about You
You Are strength in my weakness
You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need
I hope you feel as encouraged as I did when reading this. Like so many of us, Pat is very familiar with chronic daily pain but she doesn't let it get her down. She knows she can count on Him to carry her on His shoulders when she needs Him the most.

« DeVos Team Clarifies Rules for Evidence in ESSA School Turnaround Plans | Main | How a Savings Program Could Be Used to Expand School Choice »
Betsy DeVos Approves Delaware's ESSA Plan, After Blowback
After some serious drama, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos on Tuesday gave Delaware the green light for its Every Student Succeeds Act plan.
You read that right. Delaware, aka the state whose Feedback Shook the World, is the first state to get the all-clear to proceed on ESSA.
What drama are we talking about? Here's some quick background: DeVos had been hitting the local control theme hard in speeches since taking office. But her team's response to the submitted plan from Delaware, one of the first states to get ESSA plan feedback from the Trump education department, seemed out of line with that rhetoric.
The department questioned the ambitiousness of the First State's student achievement goals and criticized the state for wanting to use Advanced Placement tests to gauge college and career readiness. (The department said this was a no-go because the tests and courses aren't available in every school.)
That got many important people pretty upset, including Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., the Senate education chairman and an ESSA architect. Chris Minnich, the executive director of the Council of Chief State School Officers, also said he was disappointed. Both said that DeVos' team had essentially overstepped the bounds of the law.
In response, Delaware made some tweaks to its plan, and clarified some things for the department. The state gave some more information to show why its goal of cutting the number of students who don't score proficient on state tests in half by 2030 is indeed, ambitious. And it explained that all public high school students do, in fact, have access to the courses, tests, and other measures the state wants to use to figure out whether students are ready for college and the workforce. Delaware also moved science test scores to another part of its accountability system, at the behest of the feds. More in this great blog post from Andrew.
Apparently, all that was good enough to convince DeVos—who has final say over giving a state plan the thumbs up or down—to approve Delaware's ESSA vision.
Importantly, although the department laid out its problems with the First State's ESSA plan in detail, that might not be the case with other states from here on out. Last week, the department announced a switcheroo in the way it gives states feedback on their ESSA plans. Instead of sending letters explaining where state ESSA plans fall short, the feds will first schedule two hour phone calls with states to go over possible problems. If the state is able to explain a potential hiccup to the department's satisfaction, the feds might not mention in the state's official feedback letter, to be made public after the call.
That has raised big questions about transparency, including from two key Democratic ESSA authors, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia.
Reminder: So far, sixteen states and the District of Columbia have turned in ESSA plans. Of those, nine states have received feedback from the department. The remaining states are set to turn in their plans in September. We break down highlights from all the plans that have been turned in so far here.

In the thread from the link below you will find John Rupp has made several posting where he has used the quote feature of this forum to attribute postings to others that have in fact not been made. This has been going on for quite some time, however the misrepresentations are getting much worse.
http://www.c2forum.com/viewtopic.php?t= ... c&start=30
What is even more sad is this is typically done to those in the forum who contribute the most useful information about erging in general.
I would appreciate having the offending posts removed. If there is a way to control John Rupp in this forum that would be much appreciated as well. I believe a poll would indicate the forum would be much improved by his postings being eliminated.

Austerity creating 'more unequal NI society'
- Published
Austerity measures are affecting Northern Ireland disproportionately and creating a more unequal society, a charity has said.
New research by Oxfam indicated that 22% of people are now living in poverty.
The charity said cuts were pushing vulnerable families to their limits.
Jim Clarken of Oxfam Ireland urged the UK government and NI Executive to "row back" on deep-cutting economic policies
"We are now facing hardships our grandparents faced," he said.
"Over the course of five years, £4bn in cuts will have been delivered in Northern Ireland - the biggest since World War II.
"Austerity measures, which are hitting women and young people particularly hard, are making Northern Ireland even more of an unequal society.
"The UK government's proposed welfare reforms will particularly disadvantage already vulnerable sectors of our community, such as those with disabilities and mental illness."
The charity's research suggested that 25% of those working in Northern Ireland do not even make a living wage.
It said the lowest earners have lost 38% of their disposable net income as a direct result of austerity policies.
Mr Clarken said the UK government policy does not work in Northern Ireland due to its special context as one of the UK's most disadvantaged regions and the high dependence on public spending.
He said the charity's new report offered fairer and more sustainable ways of financing "more progressive policies".
"There are alternatives to austerity," he said. "We're calling on the UK and NI governments to champion a new economic and social model that invests in people and pursues fair taxation.
"Governments could raise billions for public services, such as health and education, by increasing tax on the wealthiest, and also cracking down on tax loopholes and avoidance schemes."

DSDP/RTSC - xdc.runtime.knl
The target runtime provided with XDCtools, xdc.runtime, provides a number of services that enable components to be written in a 100% platform independent manner; basic "printf" output, memory management, embeddable runtime diagnostics, and even some mutual exclusion support. Some components, however, require the ability to create and manage more than one thread; e.g., TCP/IP communication stacks are often implemented using multiple threads.
By adding threading services to xdc.runtime (or creating a separate xdc.runtime.knl package), components that need basic thread services can deployed on any platform that supports xdc.runtime (and xdc.runtime.knl). In other words, adding threading services to xdc.runtime extends the OS abstraction already provided by xdc.runtime and allows a much greater number of components to be portable across a number of executation platforms: Linux, DSP/BIOS, Windows, ...
A second reason to add basic threading services to xdc.runtime is to enable the creation of "OS compatibility" packages. For example, a package that provide POSIX 103 support atop xdc.runtime.* would enable a wide variety of POSIX based components to be quicly migrated to any platform supporting xdc.runtime.*. One such example, is OpenMP; at least one implementation of OpenMP relies on POSIX 1.03 to implement local threads. By enabling POXIX 103 on any platform that supports xdc.runtime.*, we immediately enable all pure POSIX apps (such as OpenMP) to operate on the same set of platforms.
- it should be "easy" to implement the required interfaces using popular embedded runtime environments; e.g., WinCE, Linux, DSP/BIOS, etc.
- the overhead of the threading interfaces, relative to direct use of the underlying RTOS, should be kept to a minimum. More specifically:
- ideally, runtime overhead should only be incurred during instance creation/deletion.
- existing applications that directly use DSP/BIOS and that can be modified to use the new threading services, should continue to fit in existing platforms after being converted to use the new APIs.
- for components that do not require threads, performance is unaffected: no additional code, data, or runtime overhead occurs as a result of this extension.

It's been a long time, but I haven't had much spare time these past few weeks. My entire world has changed completely and turned into a world of horses.
On February 2nd my little dear sweet mare came home. Gaia.
She's a dear sweet baby mare, only seven months old. I've never owned a baby before, so I'm taking on quite a challenge. Luckily she bares over with most of the time. My old horse, Lise was a nervous mare. Her go-to move was to run and then look. Gaia looks and decides whether it's dangerous or not, usually she comes to the conclusion that it isn't. She isn't scared of the world. I'm a clots, I drop things, fall down and can be very loud by accident. Yesterday I had emptied the big water bucket and then I dropped it, it made a surprisingly loud sound. Gaia was standing next to me, so as the bucket escaped my hand I thought damn, now she's gonna be afraid of the bucket. I was stunned, she stood still next to me and started biting in the bucket. It took me years to learn Lise that it was okay to throw water buckets, but this little girl apparently doesn't find it all that terrifying. Then I threw the bucket again, further away and Gaia simply walked up to it like a little dog. I truly hope that her curiousness will forever trumps her fear. That could be rather fun to work with.
Because I had to get her home rather quickly I didn't manage to find her a playmate before I got her home. Luckily she dealt with being alone amazingly, and found some sort of company in my brothers sheep. I know that you shouldn't leave a horse alone, but I wanted her home as fast as possible, then I simply had to figure out the rest later on. The first week went great, it felt like she actually enjoyed having the hay for herself and not being bullied. Then after about a week she started to get bored, which is quite understandable. I had already been looking for someone she could play with. This was a bit difficult, because many of the horses I could afford were rather sad cases. Some of them I truly considered calling the owner and asking for the F*** was wrong with them. There was old and lame horses given away for free, others with rather severe injuries and just some very very old horses who should not change homes.
Horses are an animal and a friend, we owe it to them to send them off when it's time. We really owe them that much. It's not fair to prolong their suffering just because we can't step up and make the tough decision. Many horses never say no, so you can't always count on them telling you when it's time. Horses are sometimes rather similar to dogs, some will never show their owner that something's wrong.
I'm so glad that I said goodbye to Lise before she fell apart, I would have hated to see that magnificent horse turn into a shadow. It had started to happen a little bit, she was all of a sudden much more clingy and didn't fight the other horses on the pasture as much as she usually did. Then I had her put down. She was in charge, she was always the one controlling everything on the pasture, so to see her slip was an eye opener. She had ovary cancer, and probably could have lived one more year or so, but I did't want her to stop being who she was, to slowly fade away until I couldn't recognize my first love.
No, she was magnificent until the very end and I'm so proud of myself that I could let her go, even though it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. Here she is the day before she was put down, just magnificent.
Well, my post took a rather different turn. Actually I was just getting to the part where I bought Indy. In his papers it says that his name is Indy, but I can't stand that it's spelled weird. So, I'll call him Indie from now on.
Indie is a fat and sweet pony. A very fat pony. But, he's so adorable and everybody can pet him, walk with him and everything. I had my doubts regarding his weight, because it's close to impossible to make a pony lose so much weight as he needs to. But, I'm up for the challenge. When I saw him I instantly knew that I wanted to take him home. Now, I just hope that my intuition hasn't deceived me 😉
This was my introduction of my two new horses. I know that I made the right call bringing Gaia home, and I'm pretty sure that it was the right thing to bring Indie home. Only time can tell. But, for now my heart is melting every time I see my boyfriend walking Indie, it's just so adorable.
So, even though owning horses again is a huge amount of work I haven't been this happy for a long time. Happy and tired 😉

VOD meter & Delay Timer
Bringing Expertise & Precision to Exploration, Estimation & Excavation
Assessing the quality of explosives such as VOD (velocity of detonation) need not be an impossible task. Investing in equipment to help calculate velocity of detonation, delay time and continuity of detonation is one of the more impossible tasks of an excavation or construction assignment. However, after investing in extensive research, Uttam Blastech is able to produce digital VOD meter & delay timer that are accurate and easy to use, and for the first time gives an option to the explosives users of knowing the VOD and precision of delay detonator immediately after the blast in the field.
In comparison to traditional methods of measurement, such as Doutriche, this VOD meter (one of its kind in the world) is simpler to use and portable, can store a large number of event information, and requires no training.
Our portable VOD meter measures VOD of an explosive cartridge or detonating fuse. Delay Timer and VOD Meter come with IP65 protection against dust and water, it has an easily readable graphic display, & calibration reminders.
VOD Meter & Delay Timer Brochure
Download VOD software
System requirements for VOD software installation are as follows,

- Luogo e Segni
- March 24, 2019 - December 15, 2019
Punta della Dogana
Sturtevant is part of the group exhibition 'Luogo e Segni' at Palazzo Grassi, Punta della Dogana in Venice.Read more
'Luogo e Segni', curated by Martin Bethenod, Director of Palazzo Grassi – Punta della Dogana, and Mouna Mekouar, independent curator, takes its title from a painting by Carol Rama included in the exhibition. The show brings together over one hundred works, by thirty-six artists, that establish a particular relationship with their urban, social, political, historical, intellectual setting.
The American artist Sturtevant (1924, Lakewood, Ohio – 2014, Paris) is best known for her repetitions of the works of other artists, which she recreated manually from memory after having seen a piece that intrigued her. These can immediately be identified with the original, but they are not copies. Her aim was not to achieve an exact replica, but rather to address notions of authorship, authenticity and originality that would later come to the fore in our own digital age, characterised by the endless circulation and recombination of images.
Concurrent with the #LaBiennalediVenezia it runs until 15 December 2019

Not an appropriationist, Sturtevant asserts that a "copy" has the "absolute beauty of looking just like the real thing. But copy conceals dangerous gaps." 2 She situates herself comfortably in these chasms of doubling and re-doubling, exposing the power of thought by way of repetition. Charging toward the not-so-distant past in the production of her "work of a work" (many of her artworks were authored shortly after the source), Sturtevant outpaces the history of her sources into individuation. The objects she creates are things that are not something else, but echo the familiar.
Early in her career, she omits her given name in favor of Sturtevant, a gender-neutral moniker that labels artworks and exhibitions with an exteriority of sameness and an interiority of otherness. The dialectic disrupts assumed structures of power to foreground the "uncertain content" of "pure masculinity and femininity" as theoretical constructions. The question as to how her objects and images should be received, processed and interpreted is never constant but persistently destabilized by its own terms. Taking to task the immediacy of appearance, she transforms the potentiality of embedded content in an artwork into an anxious play of singular/plural identities.

- London ELY HOUSE
Julia Peyton-Jones in conversation with Mario Kramer
Mon 26 March 2018
18:30 – 20:00
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac
Ely House, 37 Dover Street
London, W1S 4NJ
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac London invites you to 'All reality is now virtual reality' at 6.30pm on Monday 26th March 2018: A talk to celebrate and cast new light on the work of Sturtevant, an artist widely acknowledged for her important contribution to the art of our time, who presaged the endlessly repeating, unattributed imagery that characterises today's digital world.To mark the occasion of Sturtevant's first posthumous show on view at Ely House in London, Julia Peyton-Jones, Senior Global Director: Special Projects and curator of Sturtevant's current exhibition Vice Versa, will be in conversation with Mario Kramer, Head of Collection at MMK, Frankfurt and curator of Sturtevant's largest exhibition to date.Discussing the importance of Sturtevant's work, her enduring relevance and artistic rigour, and sharing little-seen installation views, Peyton-Jones and Kramer will tap into the unique blend of urgency and timelessness that characterises her work and has increasingly impacted upon younger generations of artists. The talk will lay bare Sturtevant's investigation into notions of authorship and aesthetics and the relationship between original and origins, demonstrating that 'she was not a copyist, plagiarist, parodist, forger, or imitator, but was rather a kind of actionist, who adopted style as her medium in order to investigate aspects of art's making, circulation, consumption, and canonisation' as Peter Eleey articulated when curating Sturtevant: Double Trouble at MoMA in 2014.The talk will be held in the 'Hall of Fame' room at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac London, which brings together Sturtevant's repetitions of emblematic works from American Pop, set against the artist's 'Kill' wallpaper (based on the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill, 2003). Sturtevant's solo show of paintings, photographs, installation, videos and wallpaper which engage with iconic works of her artistic predecessors including Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Beuys will remain open after the talk until 8.30pm.

- Duh? Art & Stupidity
- November 10, 2015 - March 26, 2016
Focal Point Gallery
Essex, England
Duh? Art & Stupidity is a group exhibition featuring existing and previously unseen works by artists including Tariq Alvi, BANK, Bonnie Camplin, Cecilia Condit, Ryan Gander, Isa Genzken, Judith Hopf, Larry Johnson, Erik van Lieshout, Annika Ström, Sturtevant, Rosemarie Trockel, Tomi Ungerer and Andy Warhol amongst others.
The exhibition looks at stupidity as a subject and a tactic of art making, with a particular focus on its relationship to the politics and performance of identity. High culture is meant to keep its audience from being stupid, but artists have repeatedly drawn upon stupidity, or playing stupid, as a form of dissidence, irreverence or as a means to cast off received thinking.
To work from a position of stupidity would appear to be a good way to counter knowingness and intellectual superiority, but how can artists adopt stupidity as a strategy without turning it into cleverness? Even if you don't play stupid, how do you write about stupidity without declaring yourself to be smart? If there are forms of intellectualism that, through being inflexible and unresponsive, appear stupid, then what exactly is stupidity anyway?
Duh? Art & Stupidity is curated by Paul Clinton and Anna Gritz.

The Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris pays tribute to Sturtevant by presenting her monumental work The House of Horrors for one year beginning on 29 May 2015.
The House of Horrors, a life-size ghost train where visitors can ride in carts,
is the last major installation of Sturtevant. The donation made by the artist complements the permanent collections of the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris
With The House of Horrors Sturtevant wanted to create an installation in which figures of contemporary art history like The Painter, McCarthy or Divine would be seen amongst bats, Frankenstein and other well known monsters.
Spanning across 300m2, House of Horrors explores the excess of our contemporary era dominated by entertainment, violence and anti-intellectualism. Sturtevant accompanies visitors through a series of experiences of fear connected to each other in an amusing way.

1. Doing Justice
We always strive to do what is right in God's eyes and not live by worldly standards. It doesn't mean we are perfect and don't make mistakes. God is righteous and our commitment to be like Him is reflected in our pursuit of holiness and truth. Embedded in this zeal for justice is the mandate to champion the cause of those who are oppressed, exploited, vulnerable and disadvantaged. God calls us to "do justice", to take action, to intervene when we see injustice and to be advocates for those mistreated or neglected. When people are suffering, marginalized or violated we will endeavor to alleviate the hardship and comfort the hurting.
2. Loving Mercy
This means we are compelled to extend grace to people in an irresistible way and without limits. Showing mercy and embracing those who are broken and disadvantaged because of difficult or unfair life circumstances is a cause we relish to take on. We believe it reflects the heart of Jesus, who demonstrated so compassionately that we are to love the unlovely, care for the broken hearted, minister to the wounded and treat the unpopular and dysfunctional as we would desire to be treated ourselves. So we don't expect our church family will be made up of beautiful people who have it all together. What underpins our compassion is the belief that we are in no way better than any other human being regardless of ethnicity, social status or background.
3. Walking Humbly
This means we recognise that without the empowering of the Holy Spirit and God's presence in our lives we cannot impart any lasting measure of radical love. Humility underscores our dependence on God for the right mind-set, power, wisdom, and resources to make a significant difference in touching people's lives. We desire to be a Katalyst for positive enduring change by living lives of faith and sharing the conversion we have encountered, but we can only do that effectively as the life of Jesus manifests in us and influences others. Walking humbly recognizes that we are on a servant journey together. We all have faults, we all struggle with issues in our lives, no one has "arrived" and that puts us all on a level playing field. We therefore share life with those in the church and those outside the church, knowing each has equal value in the eyes of God.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The most senior Baltimore police officer to face trial for the death of Freddie Gray was acquitted of all charges Monday (July 18), in a case that sparked riots and fuelled a national debate over police treatment of black Americans.
Local media reported the verdict handed down by a judge in the case of Brian Rice, 42, the fourth of six Baltimore police officers to go on trial for Gray's death.
The first three trials ended in two other acquittals and one hung jury, raising questions of whether anyone will ever be punished for Gray's death, which police say was an accident.
Gray, 25, was arrested on April 12, 2015 after fleeing at the sight of police, and suffered a broken spine while being transported in the back of a Baltimore police van, unsecured and with his hands and feet bound. He died a week later.
Rice was tried on charges of involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment.
Two other police officers have yet to be tried in Gray's death. Of the six officers charged in the racially charged case, three are white and three are black.
The trial was held with the United States roiling over more recent deaths of black men at the hands of police, as well as apparent reprisal killings of police, including the fatal shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Sunday of three police officers.
That shooting, by a black former Marine who had served in Iraq, took place in a city scarred by racial tensions and protests after the July 5 death of Alton Sterling, a black man shot at point-blank range by two white Baton Rouge police officers.

Ebenezer Mennonite Church (Truax, Saskatchewan, Canada)
Truax, SK. The congregation dissolved in 1946. It had been affiliated with the Conference of Mennonites in Canada since 1933. The language of worship was German.
The congregation began services in 1933. The congregation originated through colonization.
Ebenezer merged with Parkerview Mennonite at Fitzmaurice to form Ebenezer Mennonite at Parkerview in 1946. This was never an organized church. Most of the people at Truax were members of Ebenfeld Mennonite at Herschel. They met in homes and read sermons for worship. Abram Enns came in 1931 and held services until 1936. John Wiens was later in charge.

After so many fluid simulations and having experimented in the past with bullet physics and the fracture script, I went ahead and created this animation combining all of them.
Presently, Blender's fluid simulator will do for a simple animation with a few obstacles and no particles. But the moment you add several moving obstacles and subdivision particles, you are set for a very tough fight against simulator crashes (not Blender crashes) and odd fluid behavior. Consequently, a lot of time and hard work went into making this.

text: Home > Business SC orders BIR to refund Fort Boni developer P359M by Ina Reformina, ABS-CBN News Posted at Sep 20 2012 07:04 PM | Updated as of Sep 21 2012 04:25 PM Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) has ordered the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to refund property developer Fort Bonifacio Development Corp. some P359.65 million that was paid as output value-added tax (VAT) for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 in connection with its sales and lease of lots in Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City. In a 17-page decision penned by Associate Justice Mariano Del Castillo dated September 4 but released to the media on Thursday, the high court en banc reversed the July 7, 2006 ruling of the Court of Appeals (CA) that affirmed the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) in denying Fort Bonifacio Development Corp. the refund it had asked the BIR. The firm noted that it was entitled to P5.70 billion in transitional input tax credit based on its book value of P71.22 billion as of Sept. 19, 1996. For the 1st quarter of 1997, the firm's total sales and lease of lots totalled P3.68 billion; the output VAT payable was P368.54 million. BIR paid the output VAT through cash payments totalling P359.65 million, and credited its unutilized input tax credit on purchases of goods and services of P8.88 million. In denying the firm's claim for refund, the CTA, on Oct. 12, 2000, held that "the benefit of transitional input tax credit comes with the condition that business taxes should have been paid first." The CTA said that since the firm acquired the Global City property VAT-free, it was not entitled to the 8% transitional input tax credit. This position was affirmed by the CA in its 2006 decision. In its ruling reversing the CA, the high court said that prior payment of taxes is not required to avail of the transitional input tax credit. Instead, what is required is for the taxpayer to file with the BIR a beginning inventory, the high court pointed out. The transitional input tax credit is not a tax refund per se, where prior payment of taxes is a prerequisite to avail of it, but a tax credit, the high court stressed. "Contrary to the view of the CTA and the CA, there is nothing [in Sec. 105 of the National Internal Revenue Code]... to indicate that prior payment of taxes is necessary for the availment of the 8% transitional input tax credit," the decision read. The high court further pointed out that to require prior payment of taxes in this case is tantamount to both committing judicial legislation and rendering invalid Sec. 105 of the NIRC which states that the transitional input tax credit shall be "8% of the value of the [beginning] inventory of the actual [VAT] paid on such goods, materials, and supplies, whichever is higher." Concurring with the decision were Associate Justices Presbitero Velasco, Jr., Teresita Leonardo-De Castro, Diosdado Peralta, Lucas Bersamin, Roberto Abad, Martin Villarama, Jr., Jose Perez, and Jose Mendoza. Associate Justice Antonio Carpio dissented and was joined by Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justices Arturo Brion, Bienvenido Reyes, and Estela Perlas-Bernabe. In his dissenting opinion, Carpio said: "It is hornbook doctrine that a taxpayer cannot claim a refund or credit of a tax that was never paid because the law never imposed the tax in the first place... [a] tax refund or credit assumes a tax was previously paid, which means there was a law that imposed the tax."

Teachers and Supporters,
Happy New Year!
We, at MCEE, have a great year planned! To start, we are excited to offer a Part II to our Elementary Financial Literacy Institute in February! And, thanks to our past participants and supporters, we have a waiting list for the course! Teachers that didn't make the first class will have an additional opportunity this summer.
In addition, we are taking our Secondary Financial Literacy Institute on the road to Salisbury University on February 20th, 2016, and in Southern Maryland, on March 12th, 2016. To register, follow this link, www.econed.org/workshops/
On another note, we wanted to share a research report and its findings that the Rand Corporation published in October 2015, on behalf of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB). Specifically, they were asked by the CFPB to review Financial Education research and curricula to develop and offer a K-12 Rubric. The intent was to provide a tool for teachers and administrators to help evaluate the many financial education resources on the market to determine what works best for their individual school system and community.
The research study also offers a review of the current research on both financial education and financial behavior as well as a brief synopsis of research on specific financial education products. It is important to note that some of the research is inconclusive or must be considered in light of certain constraints such as participant self-selection, the term of the study, or the lack of randomized controls, just to name a few (Herman et al., 2015).
Nonetheless, as evidenced by the Great Recession, it is generally agreed that there is substantial data to support that many Americans do not have the "skills or resources" that is required to "withstand an economic shock" (Herman et al., p. ix). And, that one way to combat this issue, is to provide financial literacy education to both elementary and secondary students.
The Maryland Council on Economic Education and our national affiliate, the Council on Economic and Financial Education, offer materials that have been vetted and evaluated using educational best practices. We also offer nationally normed and vetted assessments. And, that despite the constraints identified in the Keys to Financial Success Study, the study indicates a positive correlation between using specific Council on Economic Education's Financial Literacy teaching materials and the increase in students' financial literacy knowledge. We hope you will check out this important study and useful rubric to assess and evaluate the tools that work best for your financial literacy needs. We believe that you will find that our resources correlate with the characteristics identified for quality resources. Have a great New Year and we hope to see you at one of our upcoming workshops!

"B.O.G. cannot condone the use of violence to further its aims"
-- a cheerful Brodrig the Boss-Eyed, interviewed by the Daily Prophet (DP3)
A group pressing for goblin rights, including the right to carry and use wands
Members of the B.O.G. were meeting with Ministry representatives in Chipping Clodbury when a small riot broke out. Some goblins got hold of real wands and were transfiguring post boxes and litter bins into wildebeests and marching through the streets chanting B.O.G. slogans and calling for the release of Hodrod the Horny-Handed. The leader of the organisation is Brodrig the Boss-Eyed (DP3)
There exist several labour movements/groups, calling themselves the "Brotherhood of xxx", and who aim to collectively obtain better conditions and rights for their members
Chipping Clodbury is almost certainly derived from the name of a town in which Rowling grew up, Chipping Sodbury.
While the date printed on DP3 is 1 June 1999, the timeframe for these events is 1992-1993.

The Links at Brunello designed to provide "stunning vistas and superior golf experience over dramatic terrain"
HALIFAX, NS – April 23, 2013 - Tom McBroom, award-winning golf course architect and designer, was in Halifax today to reveal designs for his latest project: The Links at Brunello, a new championship golf course located in Halifax.
This 7,100-yard, 18-hole course is located off of Highway 103 (Exit 3), a 15 minute drive from the city's downtown, and is linked to Halifax's newest lifestyle community, Brunello Estates.
"This course boasts stunning vistas and unexpected views, and is laid out on dramatic terrain that enables us to give golfers the 'wow' they're looking for," says McBroom. "It's built on a grand scale, but is gorgeous and playable - designed for every class of player to enjoy and have fun on."
The Links at Brunello is anticipated to be ready for play by June 2015. "I hope that the golf community in Halifax and beyond will enjoy playing this course as much as I've enjoyed designing it," said McBroom. "It is a true golf course, offering a great golf experience within the context of a residential community," explains McBroom.
McBroom joined the development team at Brunello Estates as Course Design Advisor and has been working closely with CEO Rob Dexter and his team since 2008. "We are thrilled to have been able to partner with Tom McBroom. His calibre of talent as a course designer has allowed us to add 'great golf experience' to the many offerings in this unique community," says Dexter.
Brunello Estates is a newly developed lifestyle community, featuring more than 500 acres of rolling, wooded landscape. Its 3,200 residences will comprise single family homes, townhouses and apartment living. In addition to the course, the Brunello Estates community will include business amenities, shops, restaurants, and a full-service community centre surrounded by tennis courts, a skating rink, boat launch and nature trails. 48 per cent of the development is dedicated to open space. Since construction began in summer 2011, more than 60 percent of the community's phase one has been sold and 52 homes have been built.
Tom McBroom is recognized across Canada and other parts of the world as a legendary designer of premier golf courses. He is well known in the Atlantic Provinces for his major contributions to prominent local courses including Crowbush, Algonquin, Green Gables and Bell Bay.

"HOOPER" is just one of those film posters that makes you go WOW ! especially if you're a fan of Burt Reynolds (who still holds the record as Hollywood's No.1 box-office superstar for five years in a row starting in 1978) or American muscle cars like the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am beautifully rendered here (in full action mode) by Brian Bysouth. This country unique (British) design is easily the best looking paper from Hal Needham's OTT auto-action fest and is very popular across a wide range of collectors. The originally folded (as issued) UK quad film poster offered here is from first year of release in Britain 1978 and displays and presents to excellent effect and represents a first class example of 1970's nostalgia and desirable original movie memorabilia for the screen's biggest star of the period.

Google (or should I now call it "Alphabet's Google"?) as a service and as a family of products have essentially taken over the Internet in terms of how many people use it. We're constantly told to diversify ourselves and never put all our eggs in one basket in every facet of our lives; pensions, banking, news, information etc. Yet when it comes to online presence we're more than happy to lay ourselves entirely at the doorstep of Mountain View, CA.
For years we've said 'Google it' instead of 'Look online for it'. Nobody says that a product is part of 'The Alphabet Inc. Family', but a part of 'The Google Family', despite the former being truth because of the name recognition alone, and the mindset the brand name evokes. We're a long way past the days of 'Don't be Evil', and given the recent firing of Jason Damore over his emotionally bland (but factually correct) memo that was circulated internally and then leaked (as an aside, how much is on the table for the person responsible never being fired over this?) alongside the outright, thankfully temporary, Google-wide ban of Jordan B. Peterson, it gives the wary pause for thought.
But it shouldn't be just the wary that are taken aback by the brashness and blatant leanings that the web's largest company has, both politically and ideologically; it should be everyone. The poster declaring that 'You've had a bit too much to think!' is becoming chillingly accurate. Every person that has all of their online eggs in the Google basket should be concerned about the G-Man potentially knocking on your door with the G-Ban.
We all had something of a choice when we became literate with technology, though our previous experiences may have coloured the decision. Where should my content live online? There are typically four answers to this;
- All in with Apple. iCloud, iPhoto, iTunes, iPhone, MacBook and iPad. The choice to live inside Apple's ecosystem usually traded off freedom for security, trusting Apple's judgements on apps and content on your behalf.
- All in with Google. Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Android OS, and the Chrome Browser. With Google, the answer was the opposite; freedom to decide where and how to use content, with the security of data becoming a user concern beyond the obvious connection and encryption.
- Homebrew. Run your own email server, local document editing that stores in the cloud, with any browser or phone OS you want. For some, this is the ideal solution as it is entirely in the user's (hopefully capable) hands, both in terms of security and freedom.
- De-centralised. Pick and choose out of whichever apps do the best job, and find a way to knit them together. I personally don't know anyone that does this, but it's a possibility.
Of course, there are other answers (Microsoft with OneDrive, Office Online, or Amazon with Prime-related offerings), but these are the main four used by most.
I went for the Google Option, and have been using solely Google services for about six years. I got a free version of Google Apps before it became G Suite, meaning that beyond this site being hosted, most of the operations that I use my domain for are being dealt with by Google. I've been happy with this structure, but what if I got hit with a Google Ban? What changes would I have to make to my online day-to-day to get a sense of normality back?
- Google Search Engine – Thankfully, I wouldn't need to change anything here. No personalised search results? I'm OK with that.
- Gmail – This is where it hits hard. I would lose all my emails for the last seven or so years. I'd be able to redirect back to my own hosting's webmail to catch everything sent in future, but I'd have to lose all my conversations and attachments.
- Calendar – Gone. My shift list for work would be lost, and I'd have lost some functionality in my blog because most calendar plugins and widgets hook into Google Calendar. I could remake something similar but it would take time, and would have to be self-hosted to have any connectivity outside of the calendar suite itself.
- Docs/Sheets – All my documents would be gone, most importantly my budgeting spreadsheet and wage calculator. There is no local storage option unless I already had Offline Storage enabled and had copies to hand. Then converting them to a non-Google format, followed by saving them to OneDrive or Dropbox. The spreadsheets I use weekly would take days, if not weeks to remake.
- Drive – This wouldn't affect me as hard as it should, as I primarily use Dropbox because I used it prior to Google Drive being available in the UK. I would lose some files, but not many, and certainly not any that I would miss not having a copy of.
- Photos – Never use it. Would not miss, but those that use it as an intermediary would have other options like Flickr, or even Facebook.
- YouTube – Back in the day, a Google ban wouldn't cause a problem here because YouTube's sign-ins were separate, but you could link one to the other without risking a cascade. Now, thanks to Google+ integration, it's another thread in the weave that would be cut. I would lose a lot of entertainment value from this, but at the same time I could find other ways around it.
YouTube appears to be it's own entity, however. It's bans can either come from a Google ban, or just a YouTube ban, and with the monetisation model for YouTube drying up people are posting to places like Minds, VidMe or even Dailymotion.
Oh, and Google+?
My point is that with Google being such an integral part of most people's online lives, that it should concern users of their service that not only do the people running the company possess such a harsh political leaning, but that they flaunt it so brazenly because, to quote the Matrix, "They are guarding all the doors; they are holding all the keys".
Aside from the fact that they fired someone for citing facts in a level-headed, internal memo, aside from how ex-employees are now outing the subversive strategies of hiding 'controversial' search results and aside from how they can literally make or break an online endeavour with a single line of code or a single checkbox, they can do the same to your online life, because you (and I) have put them in that position.

Have you ever met an angel?
I have.
Were you caught off guard by a first encounter?
I was.
It was that demure smile,
Framed by two dimples,
That from her first blush
My mind, soul and spirit reeled in.
Not by huge waves of emotion,
But by soft, quiet ripples.
An angel you say?
How did you know?
No unkind words did she speak,
No lack of grace did she show.
Her purity of life,
as with all angels above,
Was centered in God,
and remained so as mother and wife.
It's now sixty years later,
And only an angel could stand,
gracious and strong,
Enabling me to confront ALS,
All day and night long.
Indeed, so thankful am I,
To my Father above,
For giving to me,
This angel of love!
I love you, my angel.

So after the recent patch I feel fifa 15 is ruined for me, not in the fact I cant play I've never been very hung up on win/loss. Its now I don't feel any enjoyment when I am playing, it just doesn't seem fun which is a shame as I was enjoying it up until the patch.
The point I am making is that now the game is (for me) nothing like it was, It feels nothing like the demo which I enjoyed a bit and made me look forward to it, It feels nothing like the game I spent money on buying points for and it is nagging away at me.
I am not that bothered about the money as its not a great amount, its more the principle that I never asked for the update and never had the choice to take it or leave it. It was forced on me and has spoiled my enjoyment making me not want to play anymore and wasted both the money I spent buying the game and the money spent on points where I wouldn't have minded carrying on the way it was.
Am I justified feeling a bit annoyed or does anyone else feel the same?
Passing now is just shocking, no idea how EA can ruin passing when passing was fine.
I actually think that when the game was released, some small tweaks to defenders and goalkeepers and the game would have been fine. It just seems like the little noobs cries to EA that pace and LB+Y balls were no good so EA made a change because ever since the first patch the game is becoming more and more based on pace.
I think if EA just looked at PES, looked at reviews on PES they will see that PES have got the perfect balance. I think EA have to make some big changes to the next few FIFA titles because I can see PES getting better and better in years to come, and if they get licenses, servers and graphics sorted, EA will be left behind in my opinion, and I know of a lot of FIFA 15 Coins gamers who have/did play PES and will agree with this.
Only the graphics and licensing make FIFA a better game. For a fun, enjoyable game, at the minute PES is miles in front...but its what EA needed...without a real contender they had no reason to make changes, now they have that challenge it will be interesting to see what they do..if anything.

Superfoods are types of foods which are thought to have a very high content of certain nutrients.
- Superfoods is a term that appeared during the 1990s.
- It refers to types of foods which are thought to have a very high content of certain nutrients, making them exceptionally worthwhile to include in our diets.
- Typically these food sources are high in antioxidants and essential nutrients – nutrients our bodies can't produce. Since the term has been introduced, many companies have abused the label in order to promote their products, even though they don't live up to the claims.
- But there are foods that scientific studies show are particularly potent in their nutritional value.
What are super foods?
The main health benefits of superfoods include:
- Helping to regulate metabolism and burn body fat.
- Protecting the organs from toxins.
- Lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Preventing or reducing inflammation in the body.
- Preventing heart disease and cancer.
- Promoting digestive health.
No definitive list of superfoods exists, but some of those that appear frequently include:
- Oily fish, such as sardines and salmon – rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
- Tomatoes – high in lycopene.
- Olive oil – rich in antioxidants and good fats.
- Brazil nuts – high in selenium.
- Berries – high in antioxidants.
- Broccoli – high in antioxidants and a good source of folate.
- Beans – high in fibre and antioxidants.
- Natural yoghurt – contains good bacteria to fight bad bacteria.
- Soy – rich in protein and high in fibre.
- Tea, black or green – high in antioxidants.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances in foods that neutralise free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules caused by oxidation in the human body and are linked to diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants include vitamins A, C and E, beta-carotene, lycopene and minerals such as zinc, selenium and copper.
While many of the claims about the specific health benefits of antioxidants are still inconclusive, what is known is that eating lots of fruits and vegetables in general can help reduce your risk of certain diseases, including some cancers.
So should you specifically choose superfoods?
Superfoods do provide generous amounts of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids and offer slightly more protection against some health conditions than ordinary foods, but they are best included as part of a balanced diet. So rather than striving to just eat superfoods, it's better to simply aim for a minimum of five portions of whole fruits and vegetables per day. It's true that most superfoods contain the same nutrients as other natural foods but in higher quantities which means you don't require as much of them to get the benefits, but the simple message is: for good health, eat more fruit and vegetables, wholegrains and good carbohydrates and eat less animal protein and processed foods.

Ali Usaid, the local director of Kulhudhuffushi Regional Hospital, has filed cases at the police and Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), accusing the hospital's operator, Noorul Islam International Pvt Ltd of India, of a major graft.
Noorul Islam International, which operates the renowned NIMS Hospital of India and holds 80 percent shares of Noorul Islam Educational Trust, was awarded operations of Haa Dhaal atoll Kulhudhuffushi island's regional hospital on June 19, 2017, for a period of 50 years. Under the agreement, NIMS was to develop it to a multi-specialty tertiary hospital with 150 beds within a year and four months and offer services such as MRI and CT scanning, major surgeries, specialist consultancies, diagnostics, laboratory services and treatments for genetic disorders.
However, soon after Noorul Islam took over the management, the Maldives' health ministry declared that the hospital's services were deteriorating. Noorul Islam's managing director M.S. Faizal Khan had blamed Kulhudhuffushi Hospital's local directors, accusing them of deliberately hindering hospital operations in a 14-letter letter to President Abdulla Yameen.
In his letter, Faizal Khan notably alleged that the local directors had misused USD 130,000 (MVR 2 million) that were transferred to their accounts for the hospital.
Usaid, who holds 20 percent shares of Noorul Islam, hit back at the accusations and told Mihaaru that Faizal's claims were all false. Noting that Noorul Islam had agreed on a timeline when it first took over hospital operations, Usaid declared that the company had not accomplished anything according to agenda, including the software for the hospital's services.
He also alleged that Noorul Islam had raised accusations against the local directors only after major activities of corruption committed by the company had surfaced. One such activity, according to Usaid, was that Noorul Islam had illicitly procured large amounts of money as Aasandha, the national healthcare insurance scheme of the Maldives.
"We looked into it when we heard they were committing deception and deceit by putting substantially huge prices on Aasandha bills; it became a huge issue. We checked and there was room to accuse [of corruption]," he said, claiming that he had documents to prove his allegations.
Usaid also refuted Faizal's accusations of local directors misusing the money transferred to their accounts.
"I'm saying this with great assurance that USD 130,000 were not intermittently deposited to the accounts of Maldivian directors. If it were, please show us the remittance slip [as proof]."
According to Usaid, the management had brought the low number of doctors, which often halt services in the hospital, to Faizal Khan's attention. However, he said that Faizal had simply suggested bringing in temporary doctors from nearby islands. Usaid claimed that, though they had informed Faizal that approaches used in India could not work in the Maldives, Noorul Islam had failed to provide a solution.
Usaid also responded to another issue raised by Faizal Khan in his letter to the president, where he had claimed that a CT Scanning machine, brought to the Maldives for Kulhudhuffushi Regional Hospital on November 12, 2017, had been "stuck" in Customs for two months due to delays in issuing permissions. Noorul Islam had alleged that such delays were being deliberately caused.
However, Usaid claimed that the delay was caused because Noorul Islam had not paid an amount of MVR 100,000 required to approve the machine through Customs.
Usaid went on to proclaim that he had looked into matters after they were brought to his attention, and his conclusion was, "[Noorul Islam] is not fit to run Kulhudhuffushi Hospital."
He further stated that the Noorul Islam Educational Trust of India was founded to fund voluntary work. He said that he had only later found out that, under Indian law, the Trust could not partake in any business transactions to make a profit.

Wimp Basic 2
What is Wimp Basic ?
Wimp Basic is a total programming environment. It enables you to write WIMP applications without having to understand how the RISC OS windows environment works. Wimp Basic handles it all for you. And, it enables you to write applications quickly.
Is it compatible with ordinary Basic ?
Yes and no. Because Wimp Basic deals with so many areas for you, many commands, particularly those associated with windows and menus, are not present or are much simpler. The general algorithms used in Basic programs can be used but you will probably need to re-write the routines. Wimp Basic procedures are typically much smaller than their Basic equivalent. For example to open a window in Basic you have to setup blocks and a polling routine with bits all over your application. In Wimp Basic it takes one line eg OPEN Window$.
Who is Wimp Basic aimed at ?
Wimp Basic is aimed at the BASIC programmer who has not had the time or inclination to get to grips with the WIMP environment. It is aimed at those who want to write reasonably small applications in the shortest possible time. It is NOT aimed at those who want to write a major application such as a spreadsheet, DTP etc. No doubt someone will prove us wrong but that is not the market we are aiming Wimp Basic at.
What do I get ?
Wimp Basic is supplied as the editing environment (detailed below), WBModules (which contains the run time module that is required for your applications – 105k), a range of WB files to be used as tutorials (some producing useful applications) and an on line manual for quick and easy access of all information.
How do I write an application ?
The hardest part is having the idea. Using the supplied tutorials you will write your first application in 30 minutes !
Wimp Basic has various component parts. The Main window is shown below.
WB Main window
The Icon Bar sprite is selected from a menu and that is all you have to do.
The Icon Bar menu is attached from a list of available menus.
The Select procedure is what happens when you click on the Icon Bar sprite and the procedure is selected from a list of available procedures.
A typical Select procedure might be:
Rem Called when user clicks on iconbar icon
Open HelloWorld
That is all you type. WB handles everything else and when you click on the Icon Bar icon the window called 'HelloWorld' is opened on the screen.
The Quit function is equivalent to the normal pre Quit function. It enables you to do things like save data before quitting your application.
The Load Procedure is selected in the same way. This can be very simple or a bit more complex depending upon the file to be loaded.
The Startup procedure is usually used to set up parameters such as global variables.
The Window Creator
Windows are created graphically. In this instance Window refers to windows, dialogue boxes, error boxes etc. You create the window as you want to see it and give it a name, just like a variable. This name is used to manipulate the window, open it, move it etc.
In addition to creating windows this is where you create icons. These can be text icons, graphical icons or writable icons. Button types are assigned to the icon. For example, you might want an action to take place when an icon is clicked on, so you set Button type to Click and select a procedure to be actioned. Simple.
The Menu Creator
Menus are also created graphically. A menu entry can then have a sub menu or a procedure attached to it. Keyboard short cuts can also be added. See below. The menu was created by clicking into the header and typing the menu name. The two menu entries were also just type in and the sub menu selected from the list of menus available. Likewise the Procedure was selected from a list.
WB Menu creator
The Variables Editor
This is a list of global variables, defined in Groups. By default it contains a set of System variables dealing with the screen, printer and some other necessary variables. New groups and variables are added using a simple dialogue. Local variables are defined in each procedure.
The Code Editor
This is very similar to Edit and will be familiar to anyone who has used Edit. The main differences are that the WB Editor automatically colour codes your code to distinguish keywords, variables, REM statements etc.
If you write several procedures in the same Editor window they are automatically split into individual procedures so that they can be selected from a list. One other useful addition is the ability to search all procedures using the Search and Replace.
One advantage of the way you write code in WB is that procedures and functions can be complete units of re-usable code. These can be filed in a Library directory and re-used in other applications. The same applies to Windows and Menus. For example, you will probably only ever need one Program Info window, one Quit procedure, one Icon Bar menu will do for many applications etc.
The Sprite Viewer
This simply lists the available sprites and provides information. Paint or another editor is used to edit sprites and icons.
The Raw Event Handlers
This is for those who want to delve a little deeper. It enables you to assign procedures that are actioned when a particular Raw Event happens. Perhaps the most common Raw Event that most people will use is the Null event. If it means nothing to you don't worry as you don't have to use it.
What's new in WimpBasic 2?
There are many new keywords and facilities. These include :-
- You can now define separate procedures for Select and Adjust on the iconbar.
- You can now specify the font to be used by PRINT statements.
- You can easily create a font menu for the user to select which font to use.
- Pane windows are supported with built in keywords.
- An optimise option is available to create faster applications.
- The window designer now has a grid lock facility.
- New keywords dealing with files and directories.
- New keywords to load, plot, scale and remove Draw files.
- A new automatic method for setting which filetypes your application will accept.

It has now been seven (7) days since I was sprayed by a woman whom I passed on the sidewalk next to the Lumberman parking lot fence and I am beginning to feel worse. I went to the Mission Neighborhood Health Center by my hotel the next day (240 Shotwell Street, SF, CA. 94110) and got examined by a nurse (blood panels too) but she couldn't find anything. The phlebotomist that drew my blood was a Latina in her 50's and had a somewhat strange conversation with me about Hepatitis. She said that everyone who worked with blood was afraid of it and that sex was okay if you used a condom. I have posted before that I have been celibate (no sex whatsoever) for over ten years.
Now, my sinuses are draining, my left eye feels like the pressure has changed and my lungs are hurting. I also have a dry, unproductive rattle in my throat when I talk. Bio-weapons testing or a soft-kill bio/chemical agent I imagine. I, like many others, feel that civil war is being provoked and that my plight could very well be the beginning of a purge.

Femme Fatale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a type of dangerous woman. For other uses, see Femme fatale (disambiguation).
Convicted spy Mata Hari made her name synonymous with femme fatale during WWI.
A femme fatale (/ˌfæm fəˈtɑːl/ or /ˌfɛm fəˈtɑːl/; French: [fam fatal]) is a mysterious and seductive woman[1] whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotize her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch, or demon, having power over men.
The phrase is French for "fatal woman". A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure. In some situations, she uses lying or coercion rather than charm. She may also make use of some subduing weapon such as sleeping gas, a modern analog of magical powers in older tales. She may also be (or imply that she is) a victim, caught in a situation from which she cannot escape; The Lady from Shanghai (a 1947 film noir) is one such example. A younger version of a femme fatale may be called a fille fatale, or "fatal girl".
Although typically villainous, if not morally ambiguous, and always associated with a sense of mystification and unease,[2] femmes fatales have also appeared as anti-heroines in some stories, and some even repent and become true heroines by the end of the tale. Some stories even feature benevolent and heroic femmes fatales who use their wiles to snare the villain for the greater good.

We aim to shed light on the processes which govern female
reproduction throughout life.
Female reproductive life begins at puberty when women start menstruating and ends at menopause when a woman's supply of eggs becomes exhausted. On average most women start menstruating at about 13 years old, a process called menarche and go through menopause at about 50 years. Both of these processes are controlled
jointly by genes and environmental factors. To date we have only identified a small proportion of the genetic influences and the environmental factors are not well understood. The length of
reproductive lifespan impacts many aspects of female health, particularly fertility, breast cancer risk and osteoporosis.
We aim to better understand the factors governing timing of menarche and menopause. In addition we will investigate the interaction of menopause risk factors and their impact on common diseases that have
been linked to age at menopause, eg. heart disease and cancer. The study requires access to data only from female participants. We intend to make a subsequent linked application for access to genetic data when
available. The long term impact of a better understanding of the processes that determine ovarian development and function may well lead to new methods of contraception, assisted fertility and fertility
Project extension:
We require full GWAS SNPs, including exomechip. Working with the ReproGen consortium we have various ongoing projects on female reproductive ageing, including a 1000 genomes imputed GWAS, X chromosome analysis and exomechip project.
These projects all build on our previous projects where we meta-analysed GWAS data from over 50 independent studies in ~180,000 females. We have published studies identifying 107 loci associated with age at menarche (Perry et al, Nature, in press) and 17 for age at menopause (Stolk et al, Nature Genetics, 2012). The aim of the ongoing projects is to identify novel variants for these traits including those at lower frequency that were poorly captured in previous studies. It is apparent from early exomechip studies in other traits, that very large sample sizes will be required to identify low frequency, large effect variants and thus we need to recruit as large a sample size as possible, particularly from large individual studies. Biobank is therefore an obvious cohort with a large sample size and extensive phenotype data that could contribute to the ReproGen efforts.
