Part 1: Couch to crag
Rock Climbing outdoors is incredibly exciting and rewarding, and logistically-speaking there’s a little more to it than climbing at a purpose-built climbing wall. Working out where you’re going and how you’re getting there are good starting points, but there are loads of extra things you can do to ensure a safe and enjoyable day out.
Here are a few tips for preparing for the crag to help you make those first steps into the outdoors.
Get the topo
In climbing, a ‘topo’ (topographical map) is a drawing/photograph of the crag with routes depicted, graded and described.
You can access some topos online, but the most comprehensive information tends to come in the form of guidebooks. There are a range of different publishers: The BMC (British Mountaineering Council) and Climbers Club guides are comprehensive and climbing sector specific (eg. Stanage), whereas Rockfax guides are selective and give a general overview of the area (the Eastern Peak District). Guidebooks can quickly go out of date, so check the internet for updates to crag access and safety information (we’ll get onto those resources later).
Check the weather
Climbing outdoors means you’re going to be exposed to whatever the weather throws at you. Your topo should tell you what direction the crag faces, when it gets the sun, whether it suffers seepage and how sheltered it is. This will help you to determine the best spot for the weather. Here are some things to bear in mind:
- How has the weather been the past few days? It may not be raining now, but recent rain or melting ice on higher ground may mean that water is seeping down the rock at certain crags. Some rock – such as soft sandstone – is easily eroded after wet weather.
- Certain temperatures are good for certain rock types. On hot, humid day you might avoid smeary, slopey rock (such as gritstone) in favour of rock types that are less friction dependent (slate or limestone).
- Wind speed and direction may affect your decision: look for sheltered crags if you want to avoid the wind on cold, blustery days. If you want to avoid the midges, avoid midge hotspots on still days.
- Popular crags are best avoided on sunny days (especially bank holidays); if you’re after some peace and quiet, esoteric crags are a good option on busy days.
Guidebooks and topos give you comprehensive information about the crag up until the date their published, but access to crags can quickly change due to anything from nesting birds, disputes with landowners or successful BMC campaigns for open access.
Always check the BMC Regional Access Database(RAD) before you head out to find out whether you can climb on a crag and how to approach it. Remember that access to many crags is a privilege, not a right; the best way to maintain this privilege is to observe access restrictions. RAD is available in app form, so you can check it on your smartphone too. And look out for notices at the crag as well.
What kind of climbing outdoors do you want to do and does the crag cater for your group’s grade range? If it’s your first time out of the climbing wall, drop your expected grade a little so to give yourself scope to get used to the style of climbing on real rock. There’s nothing worse than rocking up at the crag only to get shut down by all the routes.
How big is your group?
Going to a climbing wall with a large group of raucous friends is all well and good, but in the countryside and outdoor spaces you should consider whether the crag can accommodate large groups, in addition to any other parties climbing there. Check how many routes/boulders there are within each sector of the crag and consider visiting more esoteric venues to avoid the crowds and queues.
How are you getting there?
Often the crags for rock climbing outdoors have limited parking and can get incredibly busy in nice weather – just try parking at Stanage on a sunny weekend! Carshare where possible (or even better – take public transport or cycle) but be prepared to have a plan B if parking really isn’t possible. If the crag is so crowded that you can’t park, chances are you’ll have a better day elsewhere anyway.
Fauna and flora
You’ve already looked at the RAD for information on bird restrictions but it’s ideal to know what else to expect when you get the crag, especially when it comes to creepy crawlies. Be prepared with insect repellent and make sure you’ve read up on Lyme Disease and how to remove ticks.
Many of our crags are also home to rare and delicate plant species, do your research so that you’re less likely to impact them.
Approaching the crag
Once you’ve parked up/got off the bus, do you know your way to the crag? Don’t count on being able to see the crag from the road and remember that map in your topo may not be what you’re used to.
Consider honing your navigation skills and maybe invest in a map and decent compass. The British Mountain Maps published by the British Mountaineering Council are excellent to use alongside your guidebook as they show the main crags in each area.

Collaborative Research: Arctic GEOTRACES - Nd isotopes and REEs in the Arctic
DESCRIPTION: In this project, investigators participating in the 2015 U.S. GEOTRACES Arctic expedition will measure neodymium isotopes and rare earth elements in seawater, sediment, and particulates collected from the western Arctic Ocean. In common with other national initiatives in the International GEOTRACES Program, the goals of the U.S. Arctic expedition are to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distributions of key trace elements and isotopes in the ocean, and to establish the sensitivity of these distributions to changing environmental conditions. Some trace elements are essential to life, others are known biological toxins, and still others are important because they can be used as tracers of a variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes in the sea. Neodymium and rare earth elements are oceanographic tracers, and data from this research will provide benchmarks for other trace element and isotope studies to better understand their cycles and how future environmental changes will impact this important ocean basin. The project will support the training of undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral researchers, and results will be disseminated via public outreach activities. Neodymium (Nd) isotopes are tracers of water mass sources, transport and mixing, and rare earth elements (REEs) show systematic fractionations during environmental processes. Together they provide a powerful tool for analyzing provenances and processes in the oceans that reflect the changing environmental controls on the distribution of trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs). Inherent logistical difficulties make the Arctic Ocean especially scarce in TEI data (including Nd isotopes and REE concentrations), which hinders understanding and application of these tracers. In this study, researchers will examine Nd and REE concentrations in seawater, sediment, and particulate samples collected in the western Arctic Ocean, with the aim of (1) assessing Arctic circulation and water mass mixing in light of Nd isotopes and REEs; (2) attempting to quantify particle-dissolved exchanges of TEIs and; (3) using Nd isotopes and REEs to characterize the sources, sinks and exchanges of TEIs. It is expected that through improved understanding of the Nd isotope and REEs tracers, scientists will be able to relate these findings to other TEIs and to the broader understanding of Arctic oceanographic change in the past, present, and future.

5 Promises, Not to Fear (Isaiah 41:10)
Isaiah 41:10, Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah hopes to silence the fears of God’s people and encourage us to confidently trust the LORD in the midst of trouble and adversity. It is contrary to the will and glory of our God for His people to be a timid, fearful, anxious people. In order to conquer our fears, the Lord God graciously assures us of His constant presence, power, and provision.
Considering all the fears that we would confront in this world, the Lord gives us five great promises, by which He says to every believer faced with danger and trouble, “Fear not ... be not dismayed”.
1. “I am with thee”.
Were we left to ourselves to face our enemies (the world, the flesh, and the devil), we would fear; but God says to our trembling souls, “I am with thee”. Take refuge in Him and be comforted (Psalm 46:1-11).
2. “I am thy God”.
The almighty is ours, as truly ours as we are His! A stranger might see a person injured and pass by indifferently. But a husband cannot be indifferent to the pains of his wife. A father cannot be indifferent to the troubles of his child. And our God is never indifferent to the troubles of His children (Zephaniah 2:8; II Chronicles 16:9).
3. “I will strengthen thee”.
We are told that the Lord will “put strength into his people” (Psalm 29:11). He will strengthen you with might in the inward man. Your God will strengthen you to bear your troubles (II Corinthians 12:5-9), endure temptation (I Corinthians 10:13), and do His will (I Thessalonians 5:24).
4. “Yea, I will help thee”.
He “helpeth our infirmities” (Romans 8:26). That means when our burden is so heavy that we cannot with all our strength support it, our God will take hold of it and bear it together with us. In other words, to imagine that any burden is too great for us to bear is to say that it is too great for God to bear! “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” No! And nothing is too hard for those to whom God says, “I will help thee”.
5. “Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”.
What more can we want? The eternal God is our Refuge! Beneath you are the everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27-29; Isaiah 51:12-13). If God be for us, all the powers of earth and hell combined can exert themselves against us (Romans 8:31-39). With such a God and Saviour as we have in Christ Jesus, we have every reason to be comforted and fearless, even in the face of great trouble and in the midst of great enemies. Our safety is our God!
PRAYER: Father, I can't see any way out of this problem. However, I know You can see many solutions to this problem. I trust completely in You. I know You will bring me safely through. I will not give up because my faith in You is strong and unwavering. As You see me through this trail, may You allow others to see You deliver me, that they may learn from You. In Jesus name, AMEN!

Where to Try (and Buy): Steam
…Hidden Object Games: Steam
…By Trisha Lynn…
Looking for a place to buy more hidden object games? We take a look at indie darling Steam, which isn’t just for hardcore gamers anymore.
- Released to the public in 2002, third-party games first appearing in 2005
- Available for Windows, OS X, Linux, PS3 (limited), iOS (limited), Android (limited), Steam OS
- Original games include: Counter-Strike, (multi-player first-person shooter), Portal (puzzle), Half-Life (action-adventure)
If you’re a hardcore gamer, you probably already have Steam installed and have a deep library of games. What you’re probably not aware of is that Steam has a small but growing library of casual hidden object games as well.
Titles like The Tiny Bang Story and Crystals of Time are available for purchase from the Steam store and considering that the reason why Steam was developed was to enhance content delivery for parent company Valve Corporation’s Counter-Strike, installing these games is a breeze.
But perhaps what might be of interest to the hardcore gamer is the fact that you can add games that haven’t been purchased on Steam to your library and launch them from within the Steam app. In this way, you can play a game you purchased on any other hidden object game distributor’s site without being subjected to that site’s game management software.
Another thing that might appeal to the hardcore gamer is the fact that unlike other game distributors, Steam has operated independent of venture capital financing since its debut and that though there is some region-locking, many of its titles are available to an audience outside the U.S. But if you’re a hardcore Richard Stallman-ite who wants all software to be free, you may be disappointed to hear that any title purchased on Steam comes with Digital Rights Management software which will prevent anyone other than the user who purchased it from installing the software into their own system and/or devices.
Unfortunately, because Steam caters more to the hardcore gamer rather than the casual one, it’s harder to find deals and sales than it is through other distributors. This means that making the leap from browsing the store to downloading a purchased game a bit more difficult because you can’t “try before you buy.” Steam compensates for this by having the user reviews for a title directly under the system requirements information, which can be filtered into “mostly positive” and “mostly negative” lists; thus, you’ll probably have more than enough information than you need before you decide to buy a game. This is something I learned the hard way when I bought a game called Escape the Museum and didn’t scroll down to notice that out of the 8 reviews posted, only 3 of them rated the game as “Recommended.” I think that moving the review recap a bit higher on the page would definitely help; however, I don’t think that it’s in Steam’s best interest to discourage the occasional impulse buy.
All in all, Steam is a great tool to have in your gaming kit because you should never let the idea of learning how to master a technology beyond your comfort zone get in the way between you and a good game.

Silky Choc-Orange Truffles // Vegan + GF + Wholefoods
Easter is a time where you can majorly get sick of chocolate. It just becomes boring after a while and you find yourself feeling sick at the thought of it. So this year I am going to try and stick to more whole-food spins of the classics (aka - hot chocolate, hot cross bus and chocolate). These truffles are a result of this desire and I must say, 'hallelujah'!! I mean far-out these are good. Ridiculously smooth and creamy, whilst having this kid-like sherbet coating from none-other then super food master-mind, baobab. This stuff it CRAZY! Who would have thought that something so good for us, and I mean SERIOUSLY GOOD, could taste this candy-like. Very cool. Anyhoos, I think I'll be making these for family and friends because they simply taste divine and need to have a more prominent place in peoples lives.
This recipe makes 20+, enjoy!
- 60g almonds
- 60g cashews
- zest of 3 oranges, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cacao
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 270g pitted medjool dates
- 2 tbsp baobab powder (alternatively use cacao powder, yet it won't be as cool)
- Place the first 7 ingredients in a food processor and blitz until combined, yet so that chucks of nut still remain.
- Dampen your hands with water and take 1 tbsp of mixture in your hands, rolling to form a truffle. Set aside and repeat until all the mixture has been used.
- Tip the baobab powder into a small bowl and roll around each truffle in it so they are coated and no longer sticky. Repeat, using more powder if required.
- Chill for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Ready to serve. These are best eaten within a week, although they probably won't last that long. Deliciously moreish!

Yesterday we brought you the news that Pepsi Perfect was coming true in honor of Back to the Future’s 30th anniversary, and now Universal Pictures has just released a trailer for Jaws 19. While this shark attack nineteenth-quel isn’t coming to theaters anytime soon, it’s still a quirky hat-tip from Universal to the VR movie that was playing when Marty McFly traveled to 2015 in Back to the Future Part II.
Taking a page out of the ridiculously funny end credit sequence from 22 Jump Street, the minute-and-a-half-long clip runs through the dozen or so sequels to the original movie that nobody asked for. There’s cyber Jaws, robot Jaws, Jaws in outer space, a prequel, a sequel to the prequel, an installment when Jaws fights a Russian shark named Ivan Sharkovski, and our personal favorite: Jaws 16, a.k.a. Jaws takes Manhattan.
It’s a fitting tribute to the scene from the BttF sequel, but also kudos to Universal for the half-joking jab at its own tendency to churn out increasingly absurd multi-movie franchises. The studio is currently on an eighth Fast & Furious movie, and there will be at least three more. If they ever do make it to Fast 19 we kind of wish they’d do a Jaws crossover, which wouldn’t be half as ludicrous as some of the stuff that happens in those movies.
As Back to the Future Day approaches on October 21, we’re keeping an eye out for even more 30th anniversary tie-ins. While drinking our Pepsi Perfect we’ll be on the lookout for some of Marty’s self-lacing Nikes or for an actual flying DeLorean.

Goal takes a look at the best players to pick or avoid, as well as the bargain buys, as the Premier League gets back underway following midweek Capital One Cup action
|START ‘EM – WHICH PLAYERS SHOULD YOU PICK?
For a while, Wayne Rooney (8.5) would have had flashing lights and a big warning sign around his Fantasy Football selection. However, back in favour (and even handed the captain’s armband against Liverpool in midweek), in-form and the main man while Robin van Persie is injured, the 27-year-old looks a solid selection for the immediate future. The England international has already racked up eight goals or assists this term in all competitions.
If you haven’t done so already, it is time to cede to the fact that Aaron Ramsey (5.5) is unstoppable right now. The Wales international, now beginning to realise his full potential after his career was stunted through injury, has scored seven goals in as many games for Arsenal this season, and has netted just one goal fewer than the Premier League’s top scorers. Ignore him at your peril.
Champing at the bit to get back into action according to his manager, Luis Suarez (10.0) quickly showed flashes of his devastating ability against Manchester United on Wednesday as he returned from a 10-match suspension. The Uruguayan, selected by less than 5 per cent of players, was outscored by only Van Persie last term and, if his Capital One Cup showing is anything to go by, he will be back among the goals very soon.
Manchester City are beginning to click into gear under Manuel Pellegrini, having scored nine goals in their last two matches (including a 4-1 thrashing of rivals United) and topping the Premier League’s scoring charts. Samir Nasri (7.5) was influential against the Red Devils, netting his second league goal of the season in the process, and represents great value in amongst City’s more expensive options.
|SIT ‘EM – WHICH PLAYERS SHOULD YOU AVOID?
Aston Villa are still rocking from the news that they will be without star striker and back-aching talisman Christian Benteke (8.0) for up to six weeks. The Belgium international has scored 67% of Villa’s goals this season, who are likely to struggle in his absence amongst a pretty daunting string of fixtures. While Benteke is sidelined, you should look elsewhere for forward firepower.
Norwich may have spent a club-record fee bringing Ricky van Wolfswinkel (6.5) to Carrow Road, but the Dutch striker – along with fellow forward signings Johan Elmander and Gary Hooper – has looked pretty impotent so far. The Canaries are the joint lowest scorers in the Premier League and are unlikely to get much change out of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, who are all on their fixture list in the following month.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott (9.0) was forced to withdraw from the Gunners’ starting line-up to face Stoke last weekend, a problem that has now been diagnosed as an abdominal strain. The England international should be avoided for now, and, even upon his return to fitness, his failure to net in the league this term might prompt the exploration of other options.
Sunderland’s poor start to the new campaign was blamed on manager-cum-dictator Paolo Di Canio, who has subsequently been served his P45 just 13 matches after he took over. The Black Cats could have the customary new manager honeymoon period, but the visit of Liverpool will likely be too great a test for the league’s worst defence. Clear your team of John O’Shea (4.5) & co., who could be on the end of a cricket score.
When one door closes, another opens, and injury to Benteke has given new Aston Villa signing Libor Kozak (6.0) a great opportunity to prove his worth. The Czech frontman, a £7m buy from Lazio, replaced his Belgian team-mate at the weekend and netted within minutes of coming on. It should be noted that he failed to score a single Serie A goal in the 2012-13 campaign, though did bag 10 goals in 11 Europa League appearances.
Southampton may have struggled to score goals this season (they’ve netted just three times), but they have had no problems keeping opposition defences at bay. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have conceded just twice – the joint-second best defensive record behind Tottenham – and will be confident of shutting out Crystal Palace on Saturday. Dejan Lovren (4.0) netted against Liverpool and poses a goal threat amongst a solid backline.
Manchester United full-back Rafael (5.5) was a contender for best right-back of the year last season, but, through a combination of suspension and injury, he has yet to feature for the reigning champions this season. On Wednesday night, though, he got through 90 minutes against Liverpool, showing his usual attacking abandon, and would be a good pick-up as United enter a favourable run of fixtures.
|CAPTAIN’S CHOICE – TOP TIP FOR DOUBLE POINTS
Trying to pick one of Manchester City’s forward is something of a minefield, but Manuel Pellegrini’s decision to rest Sergio Aguero (10.5) for the midweek Capital One Cup tie against Wigan would appear to indicate that the Argentine frontman is very much first choice at the Etihad Stadium.
The former Atletico Madrid striker netted twice against rivals United last week, bringing his tally for the season to four goals (with two assists thrown in for good measure). Aguero is in great form and should not be overlooked, much like Wayne Rooney (8.5). The England international is back to his best, scoring goals and dictating matches, and should do plenty of damage against an often hapless West Brom side.

Printing in Scribus
Scribus is designed for quality printing. Unlike a word processor, its output is not meant simply to be good enough for practical use, but to be fine-tuned until it is as close as possible to what you want. For this reason, printing is considerably more complicated in Scribus than in the office applications with which you may be familiar.
Fortunately, Scribus usually chooses defaults that fit most cases. It also provides rollover help that advises you on whether you need a setting -- although, depending on your version of Scribus, some settings may not be included in this help.
Still, once you know the work-flow, printing in Scribus is relatively straight-forward. Many of the options are either specifically for professional-quality printing, or for fixing specific problems. Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the options, gives you the chance to come closer to the perfectionism that is impossible in office applications.
Preparing to Print
Before you print, take a moment to run Windows -> Pre-Flight Verifier. Opening whenever you print, preview, or export, this handy tool identifies problems that might interfere with printing, such as low resolution graphics, or text frames that are too small to display their full contents. You could manually spot these problems in Print Preview, but why not automate it? Correct any problems, then run the Verifier again, repeating until no problems display (or at least ones that you can't live with).
Next, display the document using File -> Print Preview. While the Pre-Flight Verifier will correct any problems with the document, the Print Preview will help you catch any problems with the layout. For many documents, Print Preview works well enough without special settings, but in other cases, you may want to adjust the display settings to the right of the preview.
For example, you might enable anti-aliasing to display fonts closer to how they would print, or simulate a view using CMYK color model used for printing, instead of the RGB model used on the screen. Similarly, you might want to preview the document in Greyscale (B&W). Alternatively, if you have already set the document to the printer you plan to use, then Clip to Printer Margin can allow you to catch the problem of contents that can't be properly printed. Each option has rollover help, some of which will advise you about when you might need it.
Using the Previewer may make you decide to make corrections in the document. If so, run both the Pre-Flight Verifier and the Print Preview before actually printing. That way, you'll probably only need a single test to your printer, instead of half a dozen or more.
Standard Printing Settings
Many of the options at the top of Scribus' Setup Printer window should be familiar to anyone who has ever printed in another application. They include fields and radio buttons for setting such options as the printer, the pages to print, and the number of copies.
However, what be less obvious is that to produce a PDF, you use File -> Export -> Save As PDF -- a sensible arrangement, since the options for creating a PDF are so extensive as to be a topic in themselves. You may also not be aware that you want the File option to create a postscript command.
You should also take a moment to select the Options button beside the printer combo box. This button opens up a window for options for your chosen printer, such as whether you will print double-sided, or in landscape or portrait.
Often, you can ignore most of these options and trust to the defaults, but you should check the output resolution, since one of the main points of Scribus is to produce high-quality output. Usually, you want a minimum of 300dpi for graphics if not 600 or 1200 (just remember that file size increases exponentially as the resolution rises).
Other Printing Options
At the bottom of the Setup Printer window, the choices become more complex, with four tabs of options.
On the Options tab, you can leave the default Print Normal unless you are doing high end printing in which color separations will be useful. If you do select Print Separations, you can choose which ones you want to print in the field below. You can also choose to print in Greyscale, or the Postscript version you want to print in, two options that are largely dependent on the capabilities of your printer, although trying to print in color on a monochrome printer only delays the output without adding an advantages.
Moving to the Advanced Options tab, you get into some of the same options you encountered in Print Preview. Apart from the options to mirror pages horizontally or vertically for repeated content, most of the options on this tab are strictly for color shooting. For instance, you can use Apply Under Color Removal to improve printing by using black instead of a mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow to create grayscales, or convert spot colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_color). Whether you should use any of these options is likely to be beyond many users, but you can use the rollover help to make a decision whether any should be turned on.
On the Marks tab, the choices become less arcane. Here, you can select to enable crop, bleed, or registration marks -- for adjusting high end printing and its output. Crop marks show where pages should be trimmed before binding, while bleed marks show where bleeds -- areas of color that go to the edge of the page (rather than the margin) -- can be cut. By contrast, registration marks display the colors in the CMYK mark, and color bars a broader range of colors, so that you can see how accurately colors are printing. If you are not doing high-end printing, however, you can generally ignore the tab.
Finally, on the Bleeds tab, you can set how close bleeds come to the edges of the paper. Usually, you can accept the Use Document Bleeds default, but, after a Printer Preview or a test print, you may find that you need to make last minute adjustments. Since these adjustments usually result from the behavior of the printer, it is easier and generally faster to set them as a printing option, rather than to fiddle with the document and adjust it by trial and error.
Settings can only do so much. Consequently, don't be surprised if, even after going through all these settings and learning what they mean, you still need to print more than one test before you get the results you want. Problems are especially common with color, partly because of the difference in screen and printer color models, but also because different batches of ink can produce different results in a job.
Still, unlike the printing options in word processors, Scribus gives you a set of tools that help you improve your printing output, and move it closer to what you envision. You need time and patience to use these options well -- all the more so because you may be learning about them only as you need them -- but at least with Scribus you have a chance of making the adjustments you need.

It must be my optimistic nature that makes me think, “Why use a pair of boxing gloves when a feather will do?”
Those of you in social services know what I mean when I say, “Why go for the jugular?” You are just trying to help (schedule/resolve/plan/assess), right? (Activity Directors: We’re just helping the people having fun, right?)
Though they are unaware, when a resident is assessed for our facility, so is the family. As soon as we get someone coming through our lobby inquiring about bed availability, asking for a tour or requesting an admission package, we are observing them.
“Will this family be supportive?” “Will they be accessible and available?” “Will they be aggressive?” “What are the family dynamics?” “Do they appear truthful?”
I have come to learn that families want to appear cooperative and loving to the administrator and admissions staff. Not all details will surface upon initial interview. How often have you discovered that a resident has sexually inappropriate behavior that the wife “forgot” to disclose? Or that Mom has had a lifelong pattern of paranoia and invalidated accusations toward Dad? Perhaps Auntie’s nighttime screams didn’t seem important?
There are times when relatives approach me with a “survival of the fittest” combative attitude. I have learned to stand with my feet planted firmly, let them blow off steam, control my facial expressions (many times, I can be read like a book), slow down, do not react and BREATHE. This hostility is not personal. I repeat: BREATHE.
One such case we faced as an interdisciplinary team was when Super Son Sam stomped into his father’s admission meeting with a stack of papers printed from the Internet, sections highlighted for emphasis.
His first question was, “How much time do I get?“ In hand, he carried “proof” that a high fat diet would benefit his father. Therefore, he wanted crisp bacon served every morning. He had written “evidence” that Vitamin D supplements are a farce. Therefore, he demanded that his father be supervised on the patio at least a half hour each day in the sun. That was just the beginning of his belittling statements toward the people in attendance.
“If I appear to be abrasive like sand paper, if I am in your face, if I get all over you, I will not apologize,” he said firmly as he gave eye contact to each team member. “I want what is best for my dad and I will fight you for it.”
As several of us sat expressionless at this man’s unwarranted rage (I was struggling not to hang my jaw wide open), our MDS coordinator kindly replied, “Please remember, we’re on the same team.”
Yes, we are! We are a team with the common goal of taking care of precious residents. We’re a team that requires every person to do his or her part (dietary, housekeeping, maintenance, activities, laundry, nursing, therapy, admissions & discharge). We work with the families with the common goal of optimum care for their relative.
The next time that you receive unwarranted, misdirected anger fired in your direction, take a moment to BREATHE. Think to yourself, “This is not personal … and, may I please have my jugular back?”
Teri Weiman, SSD-AD, is a social services designee and activity directory in a central California skilled nursing facility. She oversees 80+ volunteers, supervises 11 activity aides and has two amazing assistants. She has learned that all long-term care residents have valuable attributes and can teach a lot about life … which she will share here. An early riser and eternal optimist, she lives by the saying Carpe Diem.

Gary Lineker: I’m no crisp lover
GARY LINEKER has finally addressed claims that he ‘sh*gs crisps’.
The former footy star and face of Walkers crisps spoke out to deny claims made on a Glastonbury Festival banner that he does the deed with the savoury snack.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, he said: ‘There was a big banner at Glastonbury once saying, “Gary Lineker sh*gs crisps,” but I honestly don’t.’
Clearly, he’s given the concept some thought, though, as he added: ‘I think they’d just crumble anyway.’

The impact of COVID-19 on the Canadian economy was immediate and brutal, triggering what has been described as the shortest and sharpest recession in history. But now that the shock and awe portion of the pandemic has passed, medium- and long-term risks are receiving greater attention.
One such risk got the warning lights flashing this week, when it was reported that immigration to Canada in the second quarter of 2020 had declined by a ghastly 64 percent versus the same period last year. From April to June, the country accepted only 34,260 permanent residents, a far cry from the 94,275 accepted in Q2 of 2019.
Despite a first quarter surge in invitations to apply for Express Entry, the program that manages skilled worker applications under federal economic programs, Canada is virtually guaranteed to come up short in hitting its immigration target of 341,000 for the year. In the first half of 2020, only 103,420 permanent residents were allowed into the country.
Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino’s multi-year plan is to admit over a million immigrants to Canada between 2020 and 2022. With international travel still a source of anxiety for millions, and a potentially catastrophic second wave of COVID-19 expected in the coming weeks, the country’s ability to achieve those targets is questionable.
With new Canadians supposedly responsible for fuelling housing demand in Canada, it’s fair to wonder what a drop in immigration could mean to housing activity. The early evidence suggests the impact will be minimal.
The latest monthly stats package from the Canadian Real Estate Association found that July sales were 30.5 percent higher than in July of 2019. The 62,355 transactions made up the highest monthly sales figure on record. Even with new supply increasing in 60 percent of local markets, the MLS Home Price Index increased by 2.3 percent month-over-month in July. It’s one of the largest increases on record, second only to March 2017.
If, after a precipitous dip in immigration, sales and prices are still rivalling the records set during Canada’s last real estate gold rush, it’s fair to assume local demand will continue to be strong enough to pick up the slack.
That’s been the case in Prince Edward Island, where the province’s proactive approach to attracting immigrants has been key to bolstering both its population and local economy. RE/MAX Charlottetown realtor Nick MacDonald has seen demand shift this year, but not decline.
“We're seeing a substantial increase in buyers relocating here from Central and Western Canada,” he says. “As long as we continue to see strong demand from Canadian buyers, the market here on the Island should be able to maintain its current level of stability for the foreseeable future.”
The situation is similar in Montreal, where the city’s runaway economic growth has sparked a rise in international immigration to Quebec. According to Century 21 Immo-Plus’ Angela Langtry, the market has yet to experience a slowdown of any kind.
“If there is a decrease in immigration, it has not impacted the Montreal real estate market at all,” Langtry says, adding that the city’s market is as overheated and competitive as ever.
“I feel there is enough local demand to keep the market moving,” she says.
According to RateSpy founder Robert McLister, one reason housing demand has remained solid in the face of declining immigration could be that recently landed immigrants rarely buy property as soon as they settle in the country.
“New immigrants typically take at least few years to buy once they hit our shores,” he says, “so most of the immigrants buying today have already been here for several quarters. For that reason, the 2020 immigration interruption may not meaningfully impact buying demand for a while.”
While a decrease in sales is unlikely to result if immigration levels remain low for the next year or two, a prolonged dip could chip away at certain aspects of local housing markets.
The vast majority of new arrivals rent their properties, which could prove problematic for investors in provinces like Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where international immigration has been the sole reliable driver of population growth for much of the last decade. A decrease in the number of international students coming to Canada could also leave rental units empty in smaller college towns like Fredericton and Windsor.
If they are sustained, Canada’s lower immigration numbers could exacerbate the country’s already problematic supply levels. For developers, there is a distinct difference between 300,000 new residents and 150,000, particularly in markets like Vancouver and the GTA, where most new arrivals are likely to wind up. Any developers spurred to action by swelling immigration numbers may take their foot off the gas if Canada’s population isn’t expected to grow.
The most likely, and overall most damaging, prospect will be the lack of economic activity that results from a drop in immigration. Whether as employees, consumers, students or business owners, immigrants are vital contributors to Canada’s economic health, and their presence will be missed even more acutely during a time when increased spending and investment is desperately needed to get the economy back on track.
“A strong portion of [Prince Edward Island’s] workforce relies on immigration,” MacDonald says. “When it’s safe, we'll need to return our focus to immigration to sustain and continue growing our economy. Newcomers to PEI bring such a great depth of culture, experience and innovation to our province that we're all looking forward to being able to welcome them here once again.”

Harsh, maybe. A recognisable characterisation? Unfortunately, with some notable,partial exceptions*, yes. So what should these telcos do to become the nimble, lean, dynamic friendly operations they need to be in order to avoid an early death?
Are you the exception? A Lean** 4G/5G focused Telco.
Labouring the analogy, Telcos need a lifestyle change, to make some hard, perhaps painful & radical choices; in order to increase their life expectancy.
So as your (self-nominated) lifestyle coach here are my top 12 recommendations that will help you achieve your Vision & Start to define the Lean, toned, svelte, Digital Service*** & Connectivity Telco Platform hiding inside you:
Act to shed those pounds (hardware), think leaner & flexible (software), not fatter & unadaptable.
Aim for toned not muscle-bound, let someone else do the heavy lifting but don’t jump the gun. Move to a Cloud First Model. Perhaps, Private in dedicated hosting environment managed, operated, maintained & secured by you for ‘Business Critical’? Hybrid for non-core activities & key customers? Public/Shared - are you in beta or is cost a key issue? Cloud RAN?Latency is still an issue, particularly at the edge.
Regularly measure your progress. The new you will be reached by taking small steps. Learn from each new step. Walk, trot, run. Starting to move towards your goal is the hardest. Create a common outsourced shared ownership national 2G & 3G roaming model with clear shut down objectives with back-ended payments & TUPE. Use 4G to steer towards & prepare to Leap ahead & test the ground for that big 5G play. Focus investment on 4/5G developments that customers want.
A slice of Marmite on toast or Eggs Benedict for breakfast. Make sure you eat well but just what you need. Start to Define, Learn & experiment with Network Slicing in 4G today to make the 5G move easier.
Discover activities that work for you: a bootcamp in the local park or even Paragliding. Going outside on a Cloudy day isn’t for everyone, ask a Native (software vendors or SIs) to help in this area rather than Gym Bunnies (Equipment vendors). Little & often is often better than Big & seldom.
Avoid a long Gym Contract lock-in, spend on your passions - maybe Abstract Art. Move to Open Source software and Open Stack principles, virtualise & abstract on COTS Compute, Network & Storage Products. Leap to Containers for speed; test and measure new products, pivot (or Persevere).
Create playlists for your Exercise Regime. Aspire to be the Carl Cox of Gym Playlists. Alternatively, use your favourite streaming music service linked to your smart wearable to choose the track from the catalog that matches let Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning help you automate track selection using your favourite streaming Service & personal catalog to select tracks in line with whatever exercise you are doing, automatically & intelligently adjusting the rhythm, seamlessly linking to your desired work-rate? Providing the best experience will be complex. Rapid Service Orchestration & rapid Service Chain creation will be critical to your success; they need to be your core competence.
Free up more time to pursue & focus on your ultimate fitness outcomes. Finding time for all this will be hard. Make your life easier & free up time for the fun stuff. Identify unnecessary, dull or repetitive tasks whenever possible; remove, automate, eliminate them; accelerate or augment the rest. Explore how AI/Machine Learning, Mixed (Virtual, Augmented & 360) Reality, Big Data & Robotics can streamline or augment operations - begin with Customer Care, Service Orchestration, Capex Decisions, Field Maintenance.
Exercise with others. Accelerate, your Personal Growth is important too. Open up to to others, it may be that your new found fitness & agility makes you an attractive partner, whom you may choose to share your data with, explore new experiences together or embark on a new partnership that produces something truly amazing & unique that you both value.
Free up space to create an area to work out. Outsource Storage or get something delivered to your Drop Box, so you can run more.
Measure how your fitness is developing. Capture, analyse, combine & share data to improve.
Do you really need your car? A depreciating asset, taking up space outside your house with high maintenance & other ongoing costs. A whole spectrum of options such as sharing, joint ownership, ‘Pay per use’ & leasing models may provide significant cost benefits. Innovate. As networks continue to grow reduce your spend. Less capital intensive approaches are key. 5G will need more sites (macro, micro, pico, femto) - use the data and emerging technologies available to make better choices.
Act Now. Embark on a series of fitness initiatives now. Alternatively, life may be a lot shorter.

In Uitenhage you can still find buildings from the 1800s in their original form. The Old Drostdy Museum built in 1809 is now the home of the Uitenhage Africana Museum. It is the ideal setting through which to experience the history of Uitenhage.
The Old Railway Station built in 1875 which is reputed as one of the oldest railway stations in South Africa is another historical attraction found in Uitenhage. Vintage locomotives, a variety of coaches and period furniture and equipment are on display in this museum.
The Cuyler Manor Museum is a living museum that arranges demonstrations of traditional activities like soap and candle-making, baking and weaving.
The Groendal Wilderness Reserve is also situated in Uitenhage. The reserve is the perfect place to go on a hike or have a picnic while listening to the birds singing.
Known as the Garden Town, Uitenhage was first a farming community on the banks of the Swartkops River. Now it is a thriving commercial and industrial town but has managed to keep its picturesque beauty.
Volkswagen Factory the biggest car factory on the African continent is located here in the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality.
In 1804 Commissioner-General Jacob Uitenhage de Mist undertook an extended survey of the border regions of the Cape. As a result of this he put forward a number of proposals aimed at improving colonial administration over these areas. One such involved the separation of the eastern regions, then falling under Swellendam and Graaff-Reinet, and their consolidation into a new administrative district. This proposal was accepted and on 25 April 1804 the Governor of the Cape, JW Janssens, proclaimed the new district of Uitenhage, and named it in honour of De Mist. The task of finding a suitable location for its administrative centre was entrusted to Captain Ludwig Alberti, Commanding Officer of Fort Frederick at Algoa Bay. His choice fell upon the Zwartkops River valley, a green and fertile area about 40 km north west of Algoa Bay, which was first settled by the Dutch in 1790. In November 1804 the farm Hartebeeste River, belonging to the widow Scheepers, was purchased by the Government and became the site for the new village. Later that year Henry Lichtenstein visited the area and reported that:
"A mile from hence, at the place of the Widow Schepers, ground has been laid out for a Drosty, and a village adjoining to it, which is to be the centre point of a new district: it is to be called after the family name of the Commissary-general, Uitenhage." (1812: 289)
As it ultimately transpired, Alberti's choice of the site was excellent and, over the years, visitors to the town have found cause to praise its many advantages, all the more so after the discovery of a reliable and abundant source of water from local springs. La Trobe (1818) and Steedman (1835) were impressed with its picturesque setting on the bank of the Swartkops River, and its climate was regarded as being so healthy that Cape Town patients were often referred by their doctors to recuperate there (Le Cordeur 1981).
When Alberti originally laid out the town, his military background was clearly evident in its plan, which closely resembled that of an army camp. The boundary was set out in a square with the Drostdy steps at its geometrical centre. The symbolism of this was clearly evident, and differed markedly from the plan normally adopted by Dutch colonial settlements of that time which centred upon a village church and its attendant nachtmaal square. In this case also, a stretch of agricultural land, which was always attached to a Drostdy to allow the Magistrate to supplement his meagre salary, was allocated directly in front of the Drostdy, thus setting some distance between the main administrative buildings and the growing settlement below (Lewcock 1963:398). The initial aspect of Uitenhage therefore, must have been more like a manorial estate than that of a colonial village. Understandably, the presence of a farm in the heart of the settlement prevented urban development from taking place in the southern quadrant of the town for a long time thereafter. At the outset only four streets were laid out: Cuyler, John and Baird Streets intersecting at right angles with Caledon Street. (Anon 1813)
In 1811 Uitenhage became the focus for military operations against the amaXhosa in the frontier war of 1811-12, and in 1815 its garrison played a leading role in the suppression of the Slachter's Nek rebellion. However the benefits of a military economy did not stay with Uitenhage for very long, and as the frontier of the Cape was pushed ever eastward, so then the lucrative military and black tribal markets moved, at first into the Albany, and then into British Kaffraria.
Originally, in order to encourage settlement in the new town, plots of 1 morgen, or approximately 2.1 acres, were offered free to new residents, on the condition that they be built upon within 6 months of their grant (Cory 1919:141) These conditions were changed after the British Occupation in 1806 when a price of 30 rix-dollars was set per plot and construction could take place within 18 months of purchase. After 1814 plots were sold by public auction (Calitz, 1959:18-34.). Despite such favourable terms, the demand for stands remained low and by 1813 only 31 plots had been sold and about 20 houses erected, all of which were concentrated in Cuyler and Caledon Streets (Anon 1813). At the same time work was begun on the construction of the necessary government buildings for the administration of the new district. These included a Drostdy, built in 1804-1809, a prison in 1811-12, the court house in 1813-15, the Messenger's House in 1813-15, and the house of the Secretary, in 1813-14, all of which were designed in the prevailing Cape Dutch idiom of the time. All of these were located on the upper side of Caledon Street, resulting in a row of public buildings looking down upon the residential area to the south west.
Progress in the establishment of religious and educational structures was equally slow. The town was relatively small, and because its population was split into a number of denominations, none of these were large enough to afford their own building. A temporary church for the Dutch Reformed community, which doubled as a school, was completed in 1811, but its first permanent building, designed in a neo-classical style was not finished until 1843. The Rose Lane Church, erected by the London Mission Society, was only consecrated in about 1834.
Similarly, the schooling of children also suffered, and although classes for a small group began in 1814, and in 1823 a school for the Khoikhoi community was allowed to meet in the government buildings, these were held on borrowed premises, and it was not until 1840 that a government school for boys was established (Noble 1875).
Following the devastating floods, which hit the Eastern Cape in 1823, many English settlers who had arrived in the country in 1820 began to drift into towns. Most went to Grahamstown, but some also came to Uitenhage. They brought with them English customs as well as ideas about architecture which differed markedly from those of the local Dutch community, and after a while their Georgian tastes began to find expression in the town's buildings, often producing an interesting fusion of aesthetics. Another important development took place in 1829 when the springs on the farm Sandfontein, situated 8km above Uitenhage, were purchased by the government and added to its commonage. The town was now assured of a reliable and abundant source of water, which soon manifested itself in a noticeable greening of its streets, something which travellers and local residents were not slow to point out. This water also enabled people to earn a living from their vegetable and fruit gardens, while the culverts on either side of the street gave the town a bucolic and pastoral atmosphere. In December 1838 James Backhouse visited here and reported as follows:
"In the morning we returned to Uitenhage, which is a pretty, English-looking town, containing about 315 houses, consisting of a few streets crossing at right angles: it is well watered from a very copious spring, situated on the karroo hills above the town." (1844: 163)
Fifteen years later, in May 1853, Thomas Baines was also impressed:
"The town is situated near the left bank of the Zwartkops River, about twelve miles from the sea; but is supplied with water by a small spring which, issuing from the hills, pours through the channels on either side the streets more than two million and a half gallons daily. Rows of beautiful trees overhang the water, and the extensive orchards, teeming with every tropical and European delicacy, almost hide the houses from the view. A small battery, in an unfinished condition, overlooks the town and racecourse" (1964: 304)
BEGINNIGS OF THE INDUSTRIAL TOWN
The prosperity of the town continued to be based upon the sale of fresh produce until 1843, when a number of wool-washeries began to be established on the banks of the Zwartkops River. The first factory was erected by FH Lange, but the extreme softness of the local river water soon led others to follow his example: Peche in 1846, Christian Heugh and John Lear in 1849, Niven in 1861, Marshall and Appleby in 1865, Thomas Witheridge Gubb (Riverside) in 1866, and Henry William Inggs (Springfields) in 1867. Uitenhage's "Snow White", as the washed wool became known, became internationally known, and in due course the town became the main centre of wool-washing for the Cape.
Wool-washeries therefore played an important role in the economic and structural development of the town, and by 1875 ten such concerns had been established in its vicinity, involving a capital investment of £200,000 (Noble, 1875). About 100,000 bales of wool were washed annually and exported through the Port Elizabeth harbour. The industry made extensive use of steam machinery and gave employment to a large number of unskilled labourers. However, apart from the growth of wool-washing activities, the period 1841-1875 was not an era of great economic expansion for the Uitenhage. Hampered by the rapid growth of the neighbouring centres of Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown, development was slow and, after a time, it acquired for itself the nickname of "Sleepy Hollow". (Redgrave, 1947: 312)
After 1874 the industry began a slow decline as increasing costs and a failure to modernise equipment forced various firms to either close down or to amalgamate with competitors. By this time, however, preparation for the town's next stage of economic development was already in place. Construction of the Port Elizabeth-Uitenhage railway had begun on 9 January 1872, and the line reached Uitenhage on 23 September 1875. At about the same time, work was begun in the town on the erection of railway locomotive workshops to serve the Midlands railway system, and by 1904 the Cape Railways had become the major economic force in Uitenhage.
The location in Uitenhage of an administrative and maintenance centre for the Cape Railways was to have important repercussions for the town. Not only did this provide many old residents with a new source of employment, but it also brought new residents whose families required additional facilities. They, in their turn, attracted new people willing to provide a service infrastructure. Thus, while the 1865 census indicated that Uitenhage had a population of 3,342, which had only risen fractionally to 3,693 by 1875, by 1891 this number stood at 5,331, and by 1904 it was 12,193, of whom 6,158 were literate. In 1875 the census also indicated that Bethelsdorp, a station of the London Missionary Society, whose settlement lies alongside Uitenhage, had a population of 400 persons. In 1891 this number had dropped to 333, but by 1904 it had risen to 961 residents.
After this time the predominantly rural character of the town began to change dramatically. In 1875 temporary workshops for the Midland Railway System were built in Uitenhage, followed by permanent ones in 1876 (Uitenhage Chronicle). Their establishment had a tremendous impact upon the town, where it remained its single most important industry for the next 35 years, specialising in the building of coaches and the repair of locomotives. The population and its purchasing power was also greatly expanded when large numbers of English mechanics, employed at the Workshops, settled with their families in Uitenhage (Sellick, 1904). Although this led to a sharp increase in its population and in the number of assessable properties, this collective prosperity did not necessarily bring about the affluence of all of its residents. This is illustrated by the large number of lower income houses built at that time, and the absence of residences at the opposite end of the socio-economic scale. Indeed, during this time the town attained a semi-industrial character and in 1907 it was described as being reminiscent of "an English workingman's town, for at knocking off time a thousand grimy workmen may be seen in work attire returning from labour". (Burton 1903)
In 1877 the town was incorporated as a borough, bringing with it the creation of a Town Council (Act No 30 of 1877). Almost immediately Uitenhage's citizens began to agitate for the provision of a proper Town Hall, which was then completed in 1882. It was also during this period that Victorian aesthetics became dominant in South Africa's architecture, involving not only the design of new structures, but also the improvement of many older buildings, whose facades were upgraded by the addition of such typical Victorian elements as cast iron verandahs and fretted timber details.
A typical example of this period was the town's new government offices, designed by RE Wright, an architect employed by the Public Works Department, which cost ÁƒÂ¢Á¢Â€ÂšÂ¤12,000 to erect. Construction began in 1896, and although work had yet to be completed, on 22 June 1897 it became the focus of the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee festivities when its ornate tower was named in her honour. In January 1897 the Premier of the Cape, Sir Gordon Spriggs, officially opened the building (Herholdt 1988: 182). Writing in 1904 Sellick held it to be "one of the handsomest buildings of its kind", stating that:
"The square, massive clock tower, 100 feet high ... is a prominent landmark. Built of brick, and tastefully relieved by cement coping, the buildings are an ornament to the town and source of pride to the inhabitants. The Post Office is situated at the corner facing Church and Caledon streets, and the box lobby is large and spacious. The sorting and telegraph rooms are at the back, and are fitted with the latest contrivances." (1904: 181)
For its part the Uitenhage Times of 12 January 1898 described the post office interior as follows:
"There are nine rooms in the Post Office department ... There is a panelled ceiling in (the circulating room), and a cornice 30 inches deep. The counter, post restante, and other furniture in the office are made of stinkwood, French polished. The floor is covered with ruby pattern tiles and 18 inches skirting."
Although, in retrospect it seems doubtful that the words "handsome" an "tasteful" could be applied to this pile without placing one's tongue firmly in the cheek, the building remained a symbol of white government in the region well into the 20th Century, and in the 1980s was taken over by the Apartheid Government's Security Police as their headquarters in the Eastern Cape. Fortunately no one had the idea of placing a limpet mine among its preeminently combustible timbers, and the building survives untouched to the present day.
After 1901, the post-war economic depression caused the demand for houses and other buildings to subside, leaving the town largely untouched by the subsequent waves of Edwardian and Georgian architecture. As a result, Uitenhage was locked into an aesthetic time-frame which allowed its Victorian and largely residential character to survive well into the 1960s. It was during this time that visible class differences began to emerge in its urban fabric. The area around the Railway Workshops, for example, became a predominantly white, lower working class suburb, whose homes were densely packed on small sites, with little variation in their basic plan, with a front verandah and little or no garden. This promoted a street-facing culture, where the road became an extension of the internal living space, serving alternatively as an area for socializing, a children's playground, and for public gathering.
The more affluent citizens of Uitenhage, on the other hand, tended to live near to or about the Magennis Park area, on College Hill and Cannon Hill, which offered sweeping views of the town and its surrounding landscape. Their houses were often architect designed, and were well set back on large stands with exotic gardens. Thus, from the very beginning, the urban fabric of Uitenhage was used to define class differences between its citizens, where, the upper part of town signified political power, wealth and dominant social standing, and the lower town was relegated to the working classes, and eventually, the poor and politically dispossessed.
Nonetheless, it should be born in mind that much of the urban fabric which charmed so many visitors to Uitenhage during the last century survived with relatively little change up to the 1960s, giving its residents a grace and quality of lifestyle that few other towns in the Eastern Cape could match. In many ways, therefore, the brutalization of its built environment coincided with the imposition of Group Areas legislation and Apartheid city planning over the town. The connections between the two are inescapable.
THE RISE OF THE SEGREGATED CITY
After 1875 the prominence of Uitenhage's woolwashing industry began to wane. At its height its ten steam-driven plants employed about 800 workers, but the scab epidemic which spread throughout southern Africa had a devastating effect upon the industry, and by 1904 the last two surviving companies, Gubb and Inggs, were forced into a merger which ultimately ensured their survival.
KwaNobuhle is a dormitory town situated some four kilometers south of Uitenhage, near Port Elizabeth, in the eastern Cape region (figure 1). By 1987 it had a predominantly black population of about 113,117 persons living on an estimated 17,332 residential sites (Setplan, 1986: figure 2). The average density for the area was calculated at 6.9 persons per stand.
The town, whose name in Xhosa literally means "a place of beauty", traces its origins back to 1967. It was established in order to house those residents of the old Uitenhage suburbs of Langa, Xaba and New Gubbs who, at that time, were being displaced from their homes by the authorities under provisions of the Group Areas Act. Although these areas included many older and more substantial brick dwellings, over the years these had been extended by means of corrugated iron and timber lean-to shacks. Thus many of these houses were relatively large and, owing to residential pressures in the area, had a high tenancy rate. The resultant population densities threatened to overload the existing infrastructure and, instead of extending the residential framework, the Uitenhage Municipality, under whose jurisdiction these areas fell, chose the politically more palatable option of building a new settlement outside the town. As a result kwaNobuhle Extension 1, comprising some 2,500 residential sites, was established in 1967. Houses were built by the Municipality on the NE 51/6 model (Calderwood, 1953), consisting of a four-roomed brick structure roofed over with corrugated asbestos sheeting. No ceilings or internal doors were provided and all ablution facilities were located separate from the main house to the rear of the stand. Although roads were already tarred, electricity was only made available to business stands and a small number of neighbouring residences. Road lighting was also limited to a few streets.
Although official reasons given at the time for the removal of people from Uitenhage to kwaNobuhle were unclear and often contradictory, it has since become obvious that this land was required by the town's planners for other residential uses. Removals were made on a block-by-block basis and were accompanied by the wholesale demolition of the residents' old homes. Some efforts were made to also accommodate those families who did not own homes in the old areas, but official lists of them were by no means complete and many were left behind. The authorities also failed to take into account those tenants who were unmarried and thus did not qualify for housing in the new areas. A combination of these factors had the effect of increasing residential densities in those dwellings left standing thereby causing a deterioration in their inhabitants' quality of life.
The removal, at that time, of families from Langa, Xaba and New Gubbs does not appear to have been done forcibly. However many people felt that they had been given little choice in the matter and the move was not a popular one among the people concerned. KwaNobuhle was considered to be windy, removed from town's commercial centre and devoid of the social support groups and amenities which were offered by the older and more established suburbs. House rentals and service levies also stood at about R13.00 per month, a figure which few families could apparently afford at that time. As a result many people are known to have returned back to their old suburbs in Uitenhage, thus further increasing housing pressures in those areas. In many cases residents rebuilt their homes on their previous sites leading to the idiosyncratic sight of lean-to shacks standing on the surviving brick plinths of formerly substantial and well-to-do houses.
In spite of such resistance and the objections posed by Uitenhage's black citizens, kwaNobuhle has continued to expand (figure 2). The town virtually doubled its size in 1974 with the proclamation of Extension 2 and by 1980 it had reached 24% of its present size. Further township developments took place in 1980 and in 1984 with the establishment of Extensions 3, 4A and 4B (Setplan, 1986: figure 2). However the town was to gain 42% of its present population in a brief seven months, between May and November 1986, when the residents of the old Uitenhage suburb of Xaba, also known to whites as Kabah, were resettled in kwaNobuhle. Although the authorities concerned have insisted that residents made this move voluntarily, many of the people involved have claimed that they were removed forcibly from their homes.
Such rapid expansion of the town's population necessitated the proclamation, in quick order, of Extensions 4C, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Official sources have estimated that between 35,258 and 47,423 people were involved in this removal (Setplan, 1986: figure 2) although other sources have placed this figure closer to 80,000 persons (Riordan, 1986). A further three suburbs, involving a total of 3000 new stands, are being planned for development in 1988 with a view to housing the last remaining inhabitants of the Uitenhage suburb of Langa.
Briefly put, expansion has occurred as follows:
Suburb Number Number of Stands Date Developed
Extension 1 2500 1967
Extension 2 2000 1974-75
Extension 3 1815 1980-81
Extension 4 3714 1984-85
Extension 5 187 1984-85
Extension 6 1012 1986
Extension 7 2071 1986
Extension 8 (A & B) 4033 1986
Although these suburbs have not been awarded official names to date, a popular nomenclature has arisen in many of their cases. Since the declaration of the 1985 State of Emergency, Extension 1 and Extension 2 have become known as "Angola" and "Mocambique" respectively. Their analogy to war zones in the minds of the residents is inescapable. Extension 4, on the other hand, displays distinct middle-class aspirations and parts of it have become known as "Comfihomes" after one of the building firms which erected houses there. Other areas of Extension 4 are currently also referred to as "Volksville" owing to the high percentage of Volkswagen employees who live there. Extensions 5, 6, 7 and 8 and parts of Extension 4 are called "Tyoksville" or "Shackville" and owe this name predominantly to the nature of their housing. In more recent times however, Tyoksville has also become known as Khayelitsha, a Xhosa name meaning "New Home". The socio-economic nature of these suburbs also tends to vary considerably. Extensions 1 and 2 were developed by the Uitenhage Municipality and consist almost entirely of NE 51/6 dwellings planned and built as a low-income mass-housing project. Extension 3 was developed by the Bantu Affairs Administration Board (BAAB) but its housing reflects a mixture of the NE 51/6 and the more comfortable and larger NE 51/9 which incorporated an inside bathroom in its structure. The decreasing involvement of Governmental agencies in the construction of housing becomes evident in those parts of Extension 4 developed before 1986, that is to say Sections 4A and 4B, which have a mixture of government-built NE 51/9s and more conventional contractor-built houses. The BAAB however was responsible for the infrastructural development of Extension 4 as a whole. Extensions 4C, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are currently made up almost entirely of owner-built shacks constructed in a variety of scrap materials although in some isolated cases, contractor-built houses are beginning to replace the original lean-to structures. By 1987 Extension 4C was the best developed of these last-mentioned suburbs, being already endowed with a full reticulated infrastructure whilst the others suffered from a rudimentary water delivery and waste removal system and many of their roads were no better than muddy quagmires.
A small number of single sex hostel rooms were also available in kwaNobuhle but as this involved less than 300 persons, their influence on the residential fabric of the town could be considered to be negligible.
The administration of the town has been, over the years, the responsibility of a number of bodies. At its onset, in 1967, this fell to the Uitenhage Municipality but in 1973 its functions were taken over by the Bantu Affairs Administration Board, an agency of the central government department of Bantu Administration. In 1979 this body was incorporated into the larger Eastern Cape Administration Board, although its relationship to central government remained essentially unchanged. Finally, in 1983, the kwaNobuhle Town Council was established and its local administration was reconstituted as a municipality.
Although the residential sector of the town initially underwent rapid expansion, development in other areas was slow to follow, and by 1987 kwaNobuhle boasted of four small clinics, a day hospital, two high schools, fourteen primary schools, three police stations, one library and a number of churches. The recently completed Civic Centre also included a Fire Station. Despite this there was little economic development: the town lacked a recognisable civic heart, it had no centralised shopping area and retail business facilities were only established on a scattered and suburban basis, much along the lines established previously by Apartheid City planners in Pretoria. There were no factories, electrification was slow in implementation, and although Extensions 1 to 4 all had street lighting, domestic power reticulation was available only to those stands fortunate enough to be located in the immediate vicinity of business sites. Plans to extend full reticulation to all sites in Extension 4 by 1988 were only expected to be finalised in about 1988.
By 1987 the issue of electrification had become particularly bitter in those areas of kwaNobuhle such as Comfihomes and Khayelitsha where residents had already invested in substantial homes. Here, a lack of domestic electricity was forcing families to use alternative and more expensive sources of power, thus denying them the quality of life they felt entitled to and for which they were already paying through their rates.
One of the problems which was already becoming evident in kwaNobuhle in 1987 related to its vehicular accessibility. Although the town was well situated, being located in close proximity to the motorway joining Uitenhage to Port Elizabeth, its sole link to the outside world was via two roadways, only one of which was linked to the town's main employment and shopping centres. This was a prominent feature of Apartheid City planning, designed to seal off the town from the white residential areas during times of civic unrest, this did not necessarily make for good planning on a human scale. In the long term it seemed probable that this single factor would prevent the area from developing a business centre independent of neighbouring Uitenhage, thus reinforcing the "company store" relationship existing between the two communities, designed to promulgate KwaNobuhle's economic dependence upon its neighbour well into the 21st Century.

One of the hardest things about winter is the severe lack of greenery. Snow may be pretty, but the naked trees and dismally bare garden beds are enough to bring anyone down! Luckily, bringing a little greenery back into your life during those gray winter months is very easy.
Fresh herbs can add color and pizzazz to almost any food dish, and they're a cinch to maintain! If you already have herbs growing in your garden and want to bring some inside for the winter, re-potting them is a great project. You can also start any herbs you desire from seed, just be prepared to wait a little bit longer to use them. Check out our full selection of herb seeds HERE.
Potted herbs require at the very least 4 HOURS of sunlight per day. Use a sunny south-facing window in your house for the best light, or supplement your plant's lighting needs with a grow light.
Herbs (and most potted plants in general) need good drainage. If the soil holds too much water, it can cause the roots of your plant to rot! Make sure the pot you use for your herb plant has a drainage hole at the bottom, and that you only water when the top 1/2-3/4 inch of soil is dry to the touch.
Be mindful of using clay pots, which tend to dry out quickly. Heat from a furnace during the winter can also dry plants out quicker, so be sure to keep an eye on your soil.
If you already have houseplants, it's best to quarantine any herbs brought in from the garden for a few weeks to avoid spreading pests or diseases. Feeding your herbs with liquid seaweed fertilizer in winter will give the plants a boost of nutrients.
Rosemary, whose name means "dew of the sea" in Latin, has a fresh lemon-pine flavor that complements chicken, lamb, and pork dishes, as well as pizza. Harvest the desired amount of stalks for your use by cutting with scissors, and new growth will come directly from where you cut. Rosemary plants prefer bright light and cool temperatures. Make sure to harvest stalks regularly to prevent your plant from stretching and getting 'leggy'.
Oregano, whose name means "joy of the mountain" in Latin, has a zesty flavor that is often associated with Italian cooking. Use in a variety of Italian dishes, as well as on pizza. Allow your oregano to grow up to 4 inches in height before trimming, which encourages your plant to grow denser and bushier. Oregano likes a lot of sunlight, and tends to need less water than most other herbs.
Sage, whose Latin name means "to be in good health", has a warm, fragrant flavor that complements pork, lamb, and other meats, as well as stuffing. Be sure to keep sage regularly watered, and prune heavily to encourage growth. Sage plants should be replaced every 4-5 years to ensure the best quality herbs for your cooking.
Chives, whose name derives from the Latin word for onion, have a mild onion flavor that works well in quesadillas, baked potatoes, and other dishes without heavy flavors to overwhelm it. When cooking with chives, add them in at the very end, as heat destroys their delicate flavor. Chives require lots of sun and fertile, moist soil. Chives are self-seeding, so remove the flowers to prevent your plant from dropping seeds.
Thyme, whose name is said to derive from the Greek work for "courage", has a strong clover flavor that pairs well with pork, lamb, duck, cajun cooking, and other herbs. The French variety is most popular in cooking. Water and trim your thyme plant regularly.
Parsley is a vitamin rich herb most often used as a garnish. It has a mild, grassy flavor that complements lamb, steak, fish, chicken, and many vegetables. Flat leaf parsley is the best for cooking, as it tolerates heat and holds its flavor better than it's curly-leafed relative. Harvest leaves when the stems have three defined leaf segments; cut from the outer portions of the plant and leave the inner branches. Parsley likes a lot of sun, and fertile, moist soil.

This summer, Alexandra Crisafi’s idea to start an organization to clothe the homeless resulted in Project Donate.
The fledgling organization’s goals are to advocate for the needs of the homeless, as well as provide them with clothing and food. Once homeless herself, Crisafi — a first year graduate student at Queens College — knows firsthand how it feels to be voiceless and on the outskirts of society.
“The homeless population needs an advocate,” Crisafi said. “I feel it is my duty and it’s also my passion, to represent those who don’t have a voice.”
Ousted by her parents and Valley Stream High School classmates who were not accepting of her homosexuality, at age 18, Crisafi had to survive on the streets until her grandparents took her in. Remembering her experience and those who helped her, Crisafi will use Project Donate to pay it forward.
Inspiration for the project came from her time as a Malave Leadership Academy fellow. The academy works with the CUNY community to be a center for global leadership research, education and development, while giving back to the New York City community.
At Malave, Crisafi had participated in a coat drive which successfully collected hundreds of coats for the homeless from QC. The overflow of support prompted the idea for the upcoming coat drive for Project Donate.
With the assistance of staff from the student life and student affairs offices, Crisafi’s idea is well under way. The department of buildings and grounds will supply approximately 20 collection bins across QC’s campus between Oct. 15 and Nov. 15.
According to Crisafi, “the QC community has been overwhelmingly supportive.” Her family and friends are also full of support, having already donated 250 coats to the cause.
One of Crisafi’s goals for the project is to collect 1,000 coats and 1,000 likes on Project Donate’s Facebook page. Co-sponsors for Project Donate include the Center for Ethnic, Racial and Religious Understanding, Gay Lesbian And Straight Alliance, the Catholic Newman Center and Delta Phi Epsilon.
In creating the name of the organization, Crisafi thought of sustainability.
“While we are collecting [just] coats this year, we may be collecting food or clothing next year,” Crisafi said.
Once collected, the coats will be distributed to the Part of the Solution program that helps people facing hard times, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and various lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender centers around New York.
In addition to getting 1,000 coats for the cause, Crisafi hopes to get more media coverage in order to garner more support. She wants the homeless and other underrepresented groups, to know that there are people out there who will not judge them, but instead, will try to help; Project Donate is her message.
“It’s providing more than just warmth — it’s hope,” Crisafi said.

Amazon VR development tool Sumerian
Amazon has unveiled a new VR development tool, Sumerian, at the AWS re conference in recent days, hoping to help more developers build WebVR and traditional page apps more easily. Sumerian was built by Goo Technologies, a Swedish start-up that went bankrupt earlier this year, and amazon acquired Sumerian technology by buying it.
Since Sumerian is completely web based, this means developers don't need to install additional software. Sumerian does not require developers to have any coding skills, and its interface is similar to traditional image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, with a drag-and-drop interface and a visual scripting tool. Sumerian allows developers to select the elements they need from a digital library, such as tables, trees, and carpets, and then drag it into the digital environment they create. It is this feature that makes Sumerian compatible with game engines such as Unity and UE4.
In addition, Sumerian allows developers to build "lifelike virtual environments" and fill them with 3D objects and animated characters. In terms of interaction, developers can also write scripts in Sumerian to control their interactions with users.
The iro Media VR/AR development tool ViroCore
Viro Media has officially launched a VR/AR development tool, ViroCore, like SceneKit, which ADAPTS android tools to enable developers to use Java for local development of AR/VR. Not only that, ViroCore also supports ARCore, Google Cardboard, Google Daydream and samsung Gear VR.
ViroCore allows developers to build immersive AR/VR applications using their familiar language and tools, and developers can add their required functionality to existing applications, such as Snapchat's Lenses. Since ViroCore belongs to the dedicated game engine that builds VR/AR applications, we can, to a certain extent, see ViroCore as an alternative to the underlying apis such as OpenGL.
ViroCore's main functions include: using HDR rendering, lighting and shadow creation scenarios; Using physics and animation to add real-world mechanics to objects; Using the particle system to emit smoke, fog, fire and other moving liquids; Use post-processing to filter the world.
Google Resonance Audio
Unlike the development tool of scene class, the development tool of VR sound class is lacking. To this end, GuGe has launched an open source development tool called "Resonance Audio", which helps developers to easily bring the space sound to games, VR, AR and 360-degree video.
Resonance system is widely supported by Audio, android, iOS, macOS, Linux and Windows system can be applied, at the same time, it can be compatible with many engine, such as Unreal and FMOD Resonance Audio can provide Unity with operation in advance even reverberation (precalculate reverberation) effect.
It USES the technology in GuGe VR Audio kit to make the instant space available to hundreds of 3D Audio sources. It can not only control the sound effects but also adjust the width, and automatically adjust the sound volume when the experiencer turns its head to the sound source. More importantly, it can also be implemented on lower-performance hardware, such as mobile phones, and subtly alter the effects of high computing.
Unity AR cross-platform development tool ARInterface
Apple ARKit and Google ARCore are two major AR platforms, which put many developers into a dilemma. After all, it is really time-consuming and time-consuming to develop applications that are compatible with two platforms. Held earlier this month, in order to alleviate this problem, the Unite of Austin 2017 conference, Jimmy Alamparambil Unity developers and Tim Mowrer shows a AR ARInterface cross-platform development tool, it is understood that the API is designed to help developers create can simultaneously use ARKit and ARCore experience.

The Gyrocopter is the latest edition to Prolight Concepts Group’s Equinox range of affordable DJ-focused lighting effects. Powered by eight 8W RGBW CREE LEDs, the distinctive multi-beam moving head fixture is designed to generate a room-filling blaze of movement and colour.
Based around two independently rotating heads, each generating four separate beams, a single Gyrocopter is capable of creating an impressive amount of movement and colour. Each head offers continuous 360-degree rotation, in either direction, while the central panning base offering 540-degrees of rotation.
With extremely compact dimensions of 340mm x 210mm x 175mm, and a low weight of 3.9kg, the unit it ideal for use by mobile DJs. It is fitted with rubber feat to allow floor-standing operation and is also supplied with a quick-release omega clamp to allow hanging from a truss or goalpost system.
Capable of standalone operation, either at a set speed or triggered by the beat of the music, the Gyrocopter can also be controlled via DMX using a choice of 6/14/19 or 20 channels. A simple four-digit LED display on the front panel, together with four push buttons, allow easy mode selection and DMX addressing.
Commenting on the release of the Gyrocopter, Bernie Marsh, General Manager for the Prolight Concepts Group, said: “The compact, lightweight Gyrocopter produces room-filling beam effects and is loaded with features, offering lighting users a new way to add dynamic effects to their light shows!”.
The Equinox Gyrocopter is available now from DJ equipment retailers across the UK and Ireland with an SSP of £239.

Like divorced parents during the festive season, physics is made of two beloved authorities who just can’t get on – general relativity and quantum mechanics.
For decades, many researchers have pinned their hopes of unification on something called string theory. On the up side it points to a curious connection between gravity and the behaviour of subatomic particles. On the down side … it’s string theory.
Like many physicists from all over the world, theorists from Princeton University have chased the dream of bringing together the estranged parents of physics for decades into what is known as a theory of everything.
As Princeton communications manager Catherine Zandonella explained recently, they have achieved some success, at least when it comes to a mathematical common ground of sorts.
“The key insight is that gravity, the force that brings baseballs back to Earth and governs the growth of black holes, is mathematically relatable to the peculiar antics of the subatomic particles that make up all the matter around us,” says Zandonella.
“This relatability between gravity and subatomic particles provides a sort of Rosetta stone for physics.”
This common ground isn’t quite the same thing as a marriage of bickering theories, but a means of translating relative languages could at least get them talking.
Unfortunately such insight comes courtesy of the string theory framework that continues to divide researchers – a mathematical model most of us have heard of, but few of us really grasp.
The starting place for all this mess has to do with infinities. If you plug numbers into a formula and fail to get a meaningful answer, your formula is effectively useless at making predictions.
Quantum theory gives us solid answers for most interactions between particles. Not only are the answers meaningful, they correspond neatly with experimental figures.
Unfortunately gravity is an odd duck. Right now we explain the weak attraction between distant masses by describing the shape of spacetime, according to Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
Combining the probability-based mathematics of discrete force-carrying particles with the spacetime background of general relativity just gives you nonsense in the form of an infinite answer. Like two people shouting past each other.
Having gravity on board with the two nuclear forces and electromagnetism would give us a simpler, all-encompassing theory that describes how our Universe emerges from a single operating system of physics.
One potential solution is to see all particles in an entirely different way, one that preserves their discrete, probabilistic nature while weaving in the 4D background of spacetime.
String theory does this by portraying particles as a single dimension that changes shape within multiple dimensions. Or, to put it another way, a line that ‘hums’ at a range of frequencies, which accounts for a particle’s unique characteristics.
This actually works for a range of things in physics. In the 1990s, three Princeton researchers applied string theory to the strong force particles that glue quarks together into protons and neutrons – particles humorously called gluons.
They found the same approach could also help them understand how black holes radiated energy.
A few years later, another Princeton researcher named Juan Maldacena developed a more general explanation of big things like spacetime-distorting masses and the field theory that gives rise to subatomic particles.
Twenty years on, string theory continues to inspire this shared language between arguing parents of physics, in the form of anti-de Sitter space/conformal field theory, or AdS/CFT correspondence.
“We hope to understand the singularity inside the black hole,” says Maldacena. ”Understanding this would probably lead to interesting lessons for the Big Bang.”
Only recently, Stanford University physicist Leonard Susskind published his explanation of the expanding inner volume of black holes based on AdS/CFT correspondence.
As elegant as this model is, a nice idea needs to be exclusively observed in action for it to become a convincing theory. Especially when quite literally the bedrock of everything is at stake.
Even the founding father of string theory has his doubts on whether the mathematics represents something real, or is a shallow reflection of a deeper truth.
“My guess is, the theory of the real world may have things to do with string theory, but it’s not string theory in its formal, rigorous, mathematical sense,” Susskind recently said in an interview.
“The exact thing – which I call string theory, which is this mathematical structure – is not going to be able to, by itself, describe particles.”
String theory might get the parents talking, and might even show us the way to observations that connect general relativity with quantum mechanics.
But we’ve clearly got a long way to go to get the physics family together. It’s probably not going to happen in time for Christmas. Or any Christmas soon, for that matter.

There is a great deal of disarray about what mushrooms are, which ones to eat, when to eat them; and should not something be said about them is so bravo. The new word you are searching for is really mycelium, and the individuals who study them are called mycologists. First is the issue, is a mushroom a vegetable? This is one of those inquiries that is not handily replied. Recall that they are a parasites, developed from mycelium, however they fall into the class of vegetable, with individuals who think of it as a plant. A vegetable is considered any palatable piece of a plant with an exquisite flavor in the culinary world.
The fascinating thing about mushrooms, more so than numerous other plants is they retain and concentrate whatever they are developed in. This is the thing that gives mushrooms their intensity; however relying upon where it is developed, that can work backward, and be an awful thing. For instance mushrooms can pack what is in the water that takes care of them.

On the off chance that you own a structure, it is important to employ a commercial roofing master rather than somebody who just has experience fixing residential properties. There are many reasons for this that you may have never considered. Learn why choosing a professional who is accustomed to chipping away at organizations is a superior idea than sticking with the same individual who has fixed your home’s rooftop. By and large, the tops of structures are larger than those on houses. They may be more extensive across or even much higher up, since heaps of office structures have several stories. This means the roofer you choose has to have the option to comfortably access and work on the surface, which requires particular devices and information. The typical commercial roofing master has this ability since he is accustomed to fixing or completely replacing large surfaces at considerable statures.
On the off chance that you want to guarantee that you get the best outcomes with the smallest chances of a contractor landing harmed on the position, you ought to choose a professional who has worked with structures previously. Another advantage of a commercial roofing company is that it carries several choices specifically for organizations. Such companies will in general recognize what entrepreneurs want, so they may offer a range of colors, materials, and extra features to keep the surface in great condition and appealing to customers.
You may have a certain look as a main priority, yet do not know what material would best complement your office, or what might last the longest. A professional with experience repairing and replacing structures on offices ought to have the option to manage you in the correct direction. This can take some weight off since you realize you are getting a decent outcome without having to make major decisions including aspects you think minimal about.
Finally, the local roofing companies are accustomed to working with organizations means that they understand your need to take care of business with little complain. You do not have time to close down the structure for a considerable length of time since you will lose business along these lines.

This is the reason it is ideal to have an experienced company do it for you.
The disgrace of an awful financial assessment is difficult to maintain a strategic distance from. On the off chance that you are searching for an individual advance with awful credit, for the most part the main choice accessible to you is what is called loan or payday loan. Sometime in the distant past, utilizing these administrations was considered much more awful than having awful credit in any case. Nonetheless, since the government chose to assume control over the guideline of payday credit offices, a great part of the awful affiliations that individuals have with these individual loan has disappeared.
Obviously, in the event you meet all requirements for a conventional individual advance from your nearby or network bank that is the best choice for you in the midst of hardship. By and large, physical banks offer the most minimal financing costs to the individuals who fit the bill for their credits. The issue with this plan, be that as it may, is the vast majority, and particularly individuals with terrible credit, do not qualify. Loan, then again, are given out without respects to financial assessment. Rather, they are pay based and convey a higher loan fee. Be that as it may, the guideline of loan credits by the administration has made the financing costs on them undeniably more sensible than previously. The explanation that numerous individuals with poor FICO ratings use payday loan is basic: there is no credit check. This makes getting the advance that a lot simpler. In any case, there are some negligible capabilities that you should meet so as to get this kind of credit.
- First, you should be in any event 18 years of age.
- Second, you have to have a solid activity that bears a consistent salary. You additionally need to have been working at that particular employment for a half year or more.
- Finally, you have to have functioning financial records with a current parity identical to the sum you wish to take out with your payday credit.
Since the vast majority of the individuals who use loan have sketchy records of Pinjaman Peribadi Kowamas repayment, the subtleties that are connected to taking these credits are to some degree not the same as a large number of the loan you are utilized to. By and large, payday loan are just given in modest quantities. Since they are close to home loan, they do not require insurance. Be that as it may, the charges and premium appended to them are far higher than the rates you see promoted by neighborhood banks. In the event that you do not trust you will have the option to reimburse the individual advance you take out, at that point you have to stop at the present time. The expenses related with late and missed installments on payday loan include quick and can be equivalent to the measure of the credit itself in the event that you are not cautious.
At the point when you search for data online about products to purchase, remember that most locales are worked to promote their product or go about as a specialist for another business. This process is called subsidiary showcasing. All by itself, offshoot advertising is not that awful of a thing. The sites are made to promote a product or brand and consequently the subsidiary gets a little commission for their promotion. Tragically, the offshoot attempts to promote just the most expensive things and overlook the rest. So it very well may be a to some degree corrupt act, here and there. Yet, it can likewise be an advantage for the peruser also, however just if the creator and site are happy to teach you about their alliance first. It is legally necessary as managed by the FCC.
How about we mull over sites promote Vivo V15 Pros. At the point when you’re searching for all the most recent Vivo V15 Pro news, you will locate an immense volume of data on the web. The majority of the sites that offer data are there exclusively to promote a specific phone, brand or make a deal and conceal that reality from the peruser however much as could be expected.
Few out of every odd Review Site Is Slimy
There are options, be that as it may. A few sites present the most recent Vivo V15 Pro news and surveys without connecting to a specific phone or brand. These sites are in all likelihood set up for promotion income instead of partner deals, so their news is somewhat more reliable.
Sites like Cnet, Business Insider and MacRumors all offer incredible data assists purchasers with getting total data. In like manner, other important sites targets ought to be to offer however much data to the peruser as could be expected. From models and brands, to the best cost accessible, the surveys are intended to help teach the peruser so as to assist them with being increasingly taught. The plan of the surveys is not simply to promote a deal however to help illuminate the peruser pretty much all the choices accessible to them.
Another purpose behind audit destinations to take a gander at all the data from official statements and surveys to offer you a rundown of the most significant news accessible, They should investigate all the data accessible to help illuminate the peruses to help them in their process. From the most recent vivo v15 pro price news to specialized viewpoints and discharge dates, to working programming and camera/video highlights, they should take everything and sum up that into a straightforward, simple report.

(Insert shameless self-promo here: Strangers In The Night, March 11 from Dreamspinner Press)
Yeah, there was some hemming and hawing before I decided to stand up like the adult I am and just tell her: "It's gay, erotic romance." She, of course stammered and stuttered. She literally, at one point, said, "That's gay... I mean great!" I explained to her the characters were both men, because I'm sure she was thinking they were both female.
That led to a very pregnant pause.
I knew what she was thinking. You know what she thinking...
Me: "Let's just say it's been very educational."
Her: (laughs nervously)
Me: "You can pretty much find anything on the internet. Including how long it takes a sunflower seed to travel the length of the digestive system."Her: (laughs for real)
Me: "Like I said, it's been extremely educational."
And so I started telling her - what I've learned - because everybody needs to learn this shit. Everybody.
- There are 1.7 million homeless teens in the U.S.
- 40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT
- 50% of homeless youth report their parents told them to leave or knew they were leaving and didn't care.
- LGB kids are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers
- 50% of Trans kids have thought about suicide
- 25% of Trans kids have attempted suicide
Those were the facts I'd learned by heart as I've interacted with all of you and become an ally and an advocate. Below are a few more statistics I found that are no less heartbreaking:
- Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in young people ages 10-24
- LGB from highly rejecting families are 8.4 times more likely to attempt suicide than peers in no- or low-level rejection families
- Each episode of LGBT victimization (physical and/or verbal) increases the likelihood of self-harm by 2.5 times.
- 39% of homeless are under age 18
- 75% of homeless teens use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate
- The average age of homeless youth is 14.7
We actually had a long, really nice conversation and she turned out to be surprisingly cool and supportive. Huh. Not the first real-life person to surprise me and hopefully not the last.
She continued to insist she wanted to read my book. I told her what I've told everyone else in my real life. I'll give you another book in the genre to read first. If you enjoy it, let me know. Then you can read mine. It'll feel less voyeuristic to me that way.
We ended our conversation agreeing that the world has a long way to go but with each generation, the level of discrimination gets diluted. As with everything, I believe it all starts with education. Why wait? When you know better, you do better.

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6,7 KJV).
Friend, as we live in these strange times, let us “be careful for nothing!”
We should always use common sense. Being careful, or alert, is wise. We should do our best to preserve our health and life, and protect the health and lives of those around us. However, being “careful”—as in worrisome, consumed by hypervigilance—is unwise. Anxiety is actually counterproductive, as it weakens our health and shortens our life. Living in fear or paranoia is the very last thing God wants for us, members of the Church the Body of Christ.
Instead of fretting, we should take advantage of the provision our Heavenly Father already put in place for us. Worrying is the result of not knowing the future. However, if we are already familiar with Paul’s Epistles, Romans through Philemon, we know what God is doing with us now and what He will do with us later. Whatever else happens to us really does not matter. Eternity—that which never ends—outweighs anything and everything that could possibly come our way in this temporary world.
Taking a firm stand by faith in the sound Bible doctrine we have read, we now talk to our Heavenly Father. We know that He, as we keep reading that Divine revelation, will supply what we need—strength, wisdom, and so on. Since we have that assurance, we thank Him for it in advance. As long as we prayed the “Pauline way,” we will be neither surprised nor disappointed. If we failed to read and believe His words through Paul, then we had better go back and look to see what God is doing (lest we try to force Him to do something else, and wind up spiritually ruined!). Finally, we have God’s peace, inner tranquility, something far beyond human reasoning or explanation. Protected internally from all of Satan’s attacks—doubts, questions, concerns, and so on—we have the victory over every circumstance!
Let us now conclude this devotionals arc….
Our latest Bible Q&A: “Can you explain Titus 1:12?”

The Windsor Boutique Hotel at 36 Broadway in downtown Asheville is presenting me along with two other painters in its next “Art at the Windsor” series. In addition to art in the lobby, there are three floors of realist paintings as well as a few abstracts.
Kudos to the Windsor for assembling a group of a dozen or so realist painters. Precious few galleries show such a belief in art that depicts actual things.
Check out the hotel’s teaser here: http://www.windsorasheville.com/blog/
The painting above will be there, as well as some that are not featured on this site; for lovers of fine drawings, a large-format crispy autumn scene with ten botanically accurate tree species and a three-hundred yard depth of field, executed in walnut ink without brushes on a frosty November morning. Yum.
Oh, and the chocolates at these functions are swell, too.

You’re not likely to find a magazine about teapots at your local newsstand or bookstore. So if you’re looking for information about teapots your best bet is to head over to teapots teapots teapots, where their slogan is “all the latest teapot news and pictures updated virtually every day.”
The site is the creation of Andy Titcomb, who knows quite a bit about teapots himself. A teapot designer, he has been making teapots since 1983. His North Cornwall-based studio is a one-man show and all of the teapots there – which are made in production runs as little as 15 pieces – are signed and dated by the artist.
So how much is there to say on the topic of teapots? Apparently quite a lot, since the archives at the site date back to early 2006 and include a whopping amount of information about teapots and related topics.
For instance, there’s a photo of a giant teapot in Navasota, Texas. This is said by some to be the world’s largest teapot, but there are also a few other contenders for the title. There’s some information about a collector named Sue Blazye, whose collection contained an impressive 6,150 teapots at last count. It’ a sizable enough number that it’s actually won her a spot in the Guinness Book of Records. For more about Blayze’s collection, refer to this 2009 article from the London Telegraph.
Of course, as the name teapots teapots teapots might lead one to suspect, there are also quite a few teapots featured at Titcomb’s site, many of them quite unique specimens that seem to come in every conceivable shape and size. Some of the quirkiest of this bunch include a line of inflatable teapots from designer Paul Cardew and even a teapot hat.
There are highfalutin’ new gadgets being introduced all the time that allow us to make a tea without using teakettles and teapots. But, even so, it seems highly unlikely that tea drinkers will ever completely forego this time-honored combination of pleasing design and simple functionality.

This plant has no fragrance
The Brazilian Peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia is widely grown as an ornamental plant in frost-free regions of South America for its foliage and fruit. It is considered as a melliferous flower and is the main source of food for the bee Tetragonisca angustula, which is an important honey producer. Brazilian pepper is hard to remove because it produces basal shoots if the trunk is cut. Trees also produce abundant seeds that are dispersed by birds and ants. This same hardiness makes the tree highly useful for reforestation in its native environment but enables it to become invasive outside of its natural range. It is regarded is highly invasive in South Africa and other parts of the world.
Generally not harvested
Ease of germination makes this species highly opportunistic and invasive.
Birds feed on the berries.
It is used in South and Central America as a wound healer, mild laxative, and diuretic. The sap, however, can cause skin irritation for sensitive skin.

People in the work environment want to feel like their efforts are truly valued. This requires that leaders acknowledge their productivity and output, as well as providing critical feedback on how these performances impact the rest of the organization and their careers. In cases where employees feel that the sales performance management solutions within their corporations are faulty, it's difficult for leaders to encourage honest improvement and effort from workforce.
As Re:Locate stated, a study from the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development showed that there's a growing disparity between those employees who are actively engaged and others who think their enterprise options are limited by faulty sales performance management solutions. This gap is tied to the physical and perceived gaps that exist between upper executives and front-line staff, making those directly targeted by performance software feel they're unable to trust the people in charge.
Other concerns voiced in the CIPD survey include:
- Lack of career opportunities
- Fixed progression
- Perception of indifference
- Unclear training and skill options
- Inconsistent corporate culture
Learning to lead
So if leadership is one of the biggest factors lacking in current sales performance management, what's a workforce overseer to do? As Credit Union Times stated, fixing this problem requires that business operations from the executive level to the consumer-facing offices take advantage of integrated training and communication options that increase transparency and bolster relationships throughout the corporation.
A big part of this scenario, as the source noted, relies on the ability for managers to distinguish between personnel at different levels of the success Bell curve. Everyone from the lowest-output to the most exceptional staff members need to be catered to in specific ways, and it's up to leaders to ensure that each of these types of employees' needs is being met.
Boosting participation and retention are critical factors in implementing successful sales performance management. These elements promote ongoing positive public image, as well as internal satisfaction that additionally supports these outward-facing projections. Focusing on behavior and results can create the most effective and fluid enterprise workforce management opportunities, coordinating learned and taught techniques with emerging trends, best practices and targeted sales coaching. As long as leaders are doing their jobs correctly, the power of sales performance management will remain a positive influence in the business landscape that encourages personnel to give their all.

6 Letter O Coloring Sheet
Every anniversary for the 16 half years I’ve been Empress, I booty the man with no consideration. What a treasure.
And sure, yes, dears, you’re all treasures too. Having an abnormally treasury month, Rob Cohen has now won his 1/3 and fourth Invite contests within the amplitude of three weeks. His abstraction of a band of bothered bodies pond to the arid island — “Trump gained!” — turned into Bob’s acid favourite; he alleged it “top notch” and said it definitely may be a New Yorker cartoon. The win extra an atonement acknowledgment this week, the “Mt. Everest” guarantee on the island, accord him ninety blots of ink all-time.
Second domicile goes to Mike Gips and his GPS within the desolate tract, advising, “In 375 miles, clamber proper.” There were added Waze jokes, however “move slowly proper” turned into the key. This and a antic approximately an eye-rolling Empress brings his ink certain to 270 aback Mike began Inviting aback in 2003. (See below about his new Style Invitational podcast, “You’re Invited.”) Meteoric Rookie Steve Smith takes third with his Covid-Sensitive Dracula-at-the-bar funny story, at the same time as Greg Dobbins takes fourth with the barkeep allurement Putin to “call your poison.” (Bob didn’t urge for food to draw Putin because he didn’t appetite to inn to heavy-surpassed labeling to accomplish it bright who he become.)
(Did you apperceive that Bob sells his Invitational sketches and accomplished artwork? He has a suitable folio on his internet site for Invite our bodies to acquaintance him and adjustment a cool animated film: bobstaake.Com/si . They’re continuously in black-and-white because he does the advent in his age-old version of Photoshop.)
What Doug dug: Ace Copy Editor Doug Norwood tells me he abnormally loved this week’s contest, and who am I to agnosticism him? For faves he singled out the runner-up by way of Greg Dobbins’s Putin joke, forth with Jeff Shirley’s man at the island bawl because the “How to Tango” e book abrasion up on the beach; Robyn Carlson’s priest advancing into the bar and adage “Just already I capital to airing in alone”; the analyst diagnosing the rabbi, priest and minister, all sitting at the sofa, as fact inside the amiss animation (similar entries by way of Jeff Shirley and Jon Gearhart); and Mike Gips’s animation with the Empress because the therapist advising a guy in a dunce cap.
Beggaring description: An unprintable: Here’s one which others ability adulation however I couldn’t, from Kevin Dopart for the arid placing: “Draw a Ancestors Circus apology of Billy’s abnormality abject aisle — this time with a Billy skeleton on the stop of the route’. Caption: ‘Daddy has the anniversary off, so Dolly fills in and resolves her bequest issues.’” Call me a snowflake, however I can’t cope with jokes (at atomic ones which are at all graphic) approximately asleep kids. I could never acquire fashioned for National Lampoon.
‘You’re Invited’ podcast Adventure 2: Chris Doyle tells how he does it
Did you bolt aftermost week’s optimum adventure of the podcast approximately The Style Invitational? Host Mike Gips interviews me for bisected an hour. It’s lots of a laugh. But WAY bigger is Adventure 2 of “You’re Invited,” which dropped, as we attempting-to-be-present day codgers say, this carried out Tuesday. And that’s because Mike spends the done journey speaking with the Invite’s fine recounted Loser by using a long way, Chris Doyle — Chris Doyle of the 2,244 blots of Invite ink, such as a antic 59 first-location wins.
In an agreeable articulation that also betrays a piece of his New England roots, Chris touches on a array of capacity and dish, a number of what turned into account to me:
— I knew that Chris had been a mainstay the New York Magazine Competition, the afflatus for the Invite, till that mission bankrupt in 2000 and he started coming into the Invitational in earnest. I did now not apperceive that he’d gotten alike delivered ink in that mission than he has in the Invite! And accustomed that NY Mag had a one-entry-in step with-contest absolute … nicely, he explains to Mike how he fabricated that paintings. I additionally didn’t apperceive that the competition’s backward editor, Mary Ann Madden, had requested Chris to booty it over. (Fortunately for us, he declined.)
— Are you accepting your entries calm for Anniversary 1400, our filly names contest? Chris tells how he is taking on the ponies each 12 months. (Systematically.)
— Chris, who’s been retired for abounding years and now lives in the Dallas place, reflects on his absolute agreeable tastes, axiomatic in his Invite parodies alignment from antique-timey tunes to united states of america ballads to Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.”
— He tells approximately his two abiding spherical-the-international voyages along with his spouse, during which he’d boost up in his Invitational entries from whichever anchorage boondocks might gather some Internet bistro at some stage in the aboriginal canicule of Ye Olde Information Superhighway. And the time aback they had been on a undergo amid the islands of New Zealand, and it turned into foggy, and that week’s Invite requested you to use a buzz e book …
— He offers his Secret to Lots of Ink. It does not absorb bribes. Usually.
Chris is so lively in his account with Mike, so considerable brought than I turned into. And Mike himself maintains to ask affable questions that collect the chat flowing. He moreover reads his in demand entries from the performed week’s contest, which aftermost anniversary have been the “ha-”- chat limericks. (Gary Crockett, adapt to blush.)
What you So, so potential you ink: This week’s antic haiku assignment
This week’s contest, Anniversary 1401, was suitable by using Longtime Loser (and aftermost week’s winner) Melissa Balmain, who’d aloof appear a haiku by way of L.A. Ball biographer Paul Lander as a present day “Poem of the Week” from Light, the online balladry account she edits. She mixture it to the Style Invitational Devotees Facebook group, commenting, “Possible antibody of an Invite concept?” Dang, it’s the done bundle. Paul’s “How Hot Is It?” haiku — “It is so hot that/ my iPhone now qualifies/ as a Baked Apple” — became the archetype for the competition, thereby giving Paul his aboriginal blemish of Invite ink in a challenge that, till bygone aback I contacted him, he didn’t apperceive existed.
I become due to the fact addition the ambit of the assignment to any crack antic healthy into haiku shape, however afresh sufficient that great any of the entries that we’ve run in our abundant haiku contests over time may be termed jokes. So we’re hobby with the “X is so Y” type.
Yes, you may alter the wording. As continued as we accumulate the “so” concept, we’re desirable.
We’ve had finished “so” antic contests through the years, 24 years apart. One of them was one of the Invitational’s real aboriginal contests: Anniversary 21 in 1993. Here are the consequences, alpha with the Czar rolling his eyes at a few antique chestnuts that were submitted forth with the beginning stuff. Then, as now, cutting-edge leisure was a perfect manner to get ink. Of course, fine of these run brought than 17 syllables, however you can’t reclaim those jokes anyway.
Report from Anniversary 21, in which you have been requested to name things through So-So contrast. “Ross Perot is so unusual, it’s said that aback he turned into integrated they threw abroad the babyish and aloft the placenta.” A baroque comic story, aback it was aboriginal activated to Tiny Tim in 1968. And: “George Burns is so old that aback he turned into constructed-in the Asleep Sea became aloof sick.” This was firstly said approximately George Bernard Shaw, who died in 1950. Fair warning: In the destiny, in case you serve us chestnuts, we can buzz you.
Fifth Runner-Up: Donald Trump is so stressful that Amnesty International desires him baffled and sure up. (Tom Gearty, Washington)

I hadn’t intended to do another Dodgy Stats post so soon, but then a friend sent me this document and, well, I just couldn’t help myself.
The document is titled “Prostitution – Fact or Fiction” and it comes from the website of End Prostitution Now, which describes itself as “a campaign led by Glasgow City Council”. At the end, under the heading “Acknowledgments”, it refers to Demand Change, a joint campaign by leading British abolitionist groups Eaves and OBJECT, and to the Women’s Support Project, a Scottish feminist group addressing issues of male violence against women. Similar documents are indeed found on both those group’s websites, but while I haven’t done a detailed comparison between the three it is clear that EPN made some changes and added claims of their own. I’ll therefore confine myself to addressing the EPN document, though I may go back sometime and look at the detail of the other two.
There are a lot of typical abolitionist errors in the document, such as generalising stats about street workers across the entire industry, repeating the myths I’ve addressed in other posts about the Swedish experience, and taking Melissa Farley’s work seriously. There’s also a totally bizarre claim about what low union membership among German sex workers means, but really I want to focus in on three “facts” that I find particularly revealing, in terms of what they demonstrate about abolitionism’s concern for evidence.
68% meet the criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Ramsay, Retal, 1993).
Let me start off by saying that I have a bee in my bonnet about Harvard referencing. Used correctly – that is, with a proper bibliography at the end – there is no reason it can’t be a reliable method of showing the origin of an assertion. Unfortunately, it easily lends itself to being used incorrectly and therefore absolutely worthless. I mean I could write here that 85% of Irish escorts hold doctorates from Trinity College and then next week some other blogger on the other side of the world could repeat that claim and cite it as “(Lyon 2011)”, and it would look academic and impressive to readers who didn’t know any better. Alas, it is not the case that 85% of Irish escorts hold doctorates from Trinity College – at least as far as I know.
Since EPN are among those who don’t use the Harvard system correctly, I can’t tell from their document what exactly “Ramsay, Retal, 1993” refers to. Googling it produces nothing except links back to the exact same text, which is always a bad sign. After trying a few fruitless variations I finally discovered this article which is by an “R Ramsay, C Gorst-Unworth and S Turner” = Ramsay R et al 1993? A sloppy mistake, but one I wouldn’t kill them over.
What’s more serious is the article’s subject matter: “the psychological well-being of 100 survivors of torture and other forms of organised state violence”. It’s behind a pay wall, so I can’t tell if prostitution is one of the forms of organised state violence discussed therein, but if so it would be a remarkable exercise in dishonesty to generalise stats from those “survivors” across all sex workers.
In fact, I think what EPN have probably done here is simply cited the wrong document; that figure is usually linked to a Melissa Farley study which purported to show a 68% rate of PTSD criteria among sex workers. And as for the Farley study, I’ll just quote from what Paul Henry de Wet, head of Forensic Psychiatry at the hospital attached to the University of Pretoria, had to say about it in his affidavit in South Africa v Jordan: “In the absence of proper control groups for the research and in the absence of proper diagnostic methodology I find the diagnosis of PTSD as well as the allegations in respect of its alleged causes to be wholly inappropriate.”
If it is just a case of citing the wrong document then, again, that isn’t a particularly grievous error. But it does show a lack of attention to detail which I think is typical of a lot of these campaigners, and demonstrates why their assertions must not be simply taken at face value.
In New Zealand, complete decriminalisation has led to the illegal sector expanding to make up 80% of the industry (Instone and Margersion, 2007)
This doesn’t even make logical sense. If there is complete decriminalisation there can be no illegal sector, by definition.
In fact, New Zealand does not have complete decriminalisation, although it’s probably about as close as we’ll ever see in our lifetime. Managed brothels are regulated, not decriminalised; commercial sex involving non-residents or under-18s or that takes place without a condom remains illegal. So are Instone and Margersion claiming that these sectors have expanded to make up 80% of the New Zealand industry?
No. In fact, they’re not even referring to New Zealand. What they actually say is: “In other jurisdictions where prostitution has been legalized or decriminalized there has been considerable expansion of the legal industry, but the illegal industry has expanded most and regularly comprises 80% of the industry, as Mary Sullivan’s book on the effects in Australia, Making Sex Work (2007) reveals”.
So Sullivan claims this happened in Australia (I’ll deal with that stat another day), Instone and Margersion get from this that it “regularly” happens when prostitution is made legal, and EPN then states as a matter of fact that it has happened in New Zealand.
Is it becoming obvious why I find abolitionists so frustrating?
Estimated numbers of people in prostitution consequently fell from around 25,000 to a current estimate of 2500.
No citation is given for either of those figures, but the estimate of 25,000 in Sweden would be quite extraordinary; I’ve certainly never seen anything like it in the piles of material I’ve read about the Swedish sex industry.
Googling “25,000 prostitution Sweden” returns a number of pages (themselves of dubious reliability) asserting 25,000 sex workers in the Netherlands; some of them compare this to an alleged 2,500 in Sweden around the time of the law’s enactment – not after it. This seems to be a case of picking up numbers from web trawls and inserting them into a propaganda sheet without even bothering to ensure they were copied correctly – much less than that they ever had any validity to begin with.
Of course, anyone can make up numbers about anything, and plenty of people do. But this is a campaign led by a government body. Just a local authority, granted, with limited law-making powers – but some of those powers can have a direct impact on sex workers’ lives and livelihoods, and it’s a matter of deep concern if they are being exercised by councillors with such little regard to important details like, you know, facts. Moreover, the imprimatur of a major city’s government can sometimes add more weight to a document than it would otherwise have. I couldn’t say for certain whether any other policy-makers have looked at this or factored its contents into their consideration of the issue, but the possibility is always there.
Any Glaswegians who stumble across this post while searching for information on the sex industry in your wonderful city, you might consider contacting your councillors and asking them what the hell they are doing attaching the council’s name to such a poorly-researched and poorly-referenced propaganda piece.

I received this information last week from a Mike P., acolleague in Chesapeake, Ohio. I was given the witness contact email at the time. I received a response today. The following is the original email:
Hello - a friend suggested I write to you about something that happened to me several weeks ago. I am divorced and have 2 boys, 15 and 12 years old. Both of my sons were with me at the time of the incident. We live in Huntington, West Virginia - moved here in 2009 from Milwaukee, WI because of my job.
On March 2nd, we were travelling south on Rt. 2 (Ohio River Rd.) just outside of Huntington near Cox Landing Rd. It was around 8:30 PM - we were on our way back home after visiting a co-worker. About a mile past the intersection I noticed something flying from behind a house on the right side. It was hard to make out at first but as it came towards the road it looked like a huge butterfly. Even though it was dark the light from the side of the house illuminated it enough that I could make out a shape. I sped up to avoid coming in contact with this thing but as I did it circled around and flew just ahead of us on our right side. The wings were enormous and broad like that of a butterfly. It was strange because I never saw it flap the wings - almost like it was gliding. My boys were now aware of a it and were terrified. I didn't want to stop the car so I decided to speed up some more. After about 20 seconds it suddenly shot up into the air and disappeared.
One thing I want to mention is that we were under severe storm and flash flood warnings that evening. There were some high wind gusts and hail. There had been several tornadoes southwest of us in Kentucky.
When we got home we talked about it - my oldest boy said it looked like a person dressed in a black shiny suit. He didn't see legs or feet but said the body shape looked like a tall thin man. My youngest boy said he didn't get a very good look but felt like something bad was going to happen. My description is very similar to my oldest son's - but the wings were massive and broad. I'd say the wings may have been over twice the size of the body. The entire thing was dark colored but there was a faint orange glow from the head area - I never noticed a face or other features.
Last week I was talking to a friend and told her about the incident. She found your name and contact information and forwarded it to me. She mentioned something about Mothman sightings in this area and I read some of the stories. I'm not sure if this is the same thing but it does fit the description. There were a few drawings on Google - some are close to what I saw but don't generally match the wing size.
NOTE: I received a response from N.R. this morning. Her estimation to the size of this being is a thin 5' body and a wing span of 12-15'. Also that it was black and shiny like 'polished black leather'. N.R. believes that her top speed was around 60 MPH and that it easily kept in front of her. She agreed to publishing the encounter though she doesn't want any personal information disclosed. She is very curious as to what they witnessed. BTW, the location of this sighting is approximately 30 miles south of Point Pleasant, WV...Lon

One topic that was brought up several times at the General Mills Gluten-Free Summit was the high cost of gluten-free products. Why should a gluten-free cake mix cost twice as much as a gluten cake mix and only make half as much cake? I’m not trying to pick on General Mills here. This is a problem with all packaged gluten-free foods.
I understand that gluten-free products use ingredients that differ from their gluten containing counterparts. Since I mostly bake from scratch, I know that purchasing gluten-free flours and starches is more expensive than buying wheat flour. For that reason, I would expect to pay a little more for gluten-free products. A little more. Not a whole lot more. Having said that, though, it seems that the prices I pay for those baking ingredients are higher than they need to be. Why is potato starch so much more expensive than corn starch?
More and more people are embarking on a gluten-free diet every day, and the gluten-free market is booming. Demand for gluten-free products is up, but it is still only a fraction of the demand for gluten filled products. For that reason I would also expect gluten-free products to cost a little more. A little more. Not a whole lot more. While we’re on the subject, since demand for gluten-free products has gone up in recent years, shouldn’t prices come down a little?
Another issue raised at the summit is that many gluten-free products do not go on sale. A few companies offer coupons for their products, but very few.
Where That Leaves Us
I think a lot of us end up feeling that we are being taken advantage of. We have to eat gluten-free, and if we want packaged food (including single ingredients such as flour) we are limited in our choices, all of which are overpriced. We pay $5 – $7 for a very small loaf of bread because it’s good, and it’s better than the other very small loaves of gluten-free bread that sell for the same price. We either pay the high prices or go without.
I would personally love to see a company provide safe, certified gluten-free products and ingredients at prices that are competitive with regular prices. If the products are good, I believe the gluten-free community would flock to that company and show their support by buying their products. What they would lose in profit on each product would more than be made up for in the volume they would sell.
What are your thoughts on the the high cost of gluten-free products?

With last week’s surprise release of iOS 12.4 jailbreak, many jailbreak fans got the chance to finally jailbreak their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. What made this release extra special was the fact that it supported the latest available version of iOS, giving everyone an equal opportunity to jailbreak their devices.
If you are a new jailbreak user or have been jailbroken on iOS 12 for a while, then we have got the perfect new Cydia tweaks that you need to install on your iPhone or iPad. In this tweak roundup we have featured the new SwitchShades, ModernSwitcher, FlixRatings for Netflix, FastOpenApp and PHToggleOff. Read on to learn about what these hacks are capable of and how you can download them on your jailbroken devices.
SwitchShades: Changes App Switcher background color based on app’s icon
Think iOS app switcher is boring? Then try out the SwitchShades tweak for jailbroken devices. With this tweak you can add a new life to your iPhone’s app switcher by making it change the background color based on currently active app’s icon. The tweak makes the app switcher change the background color as you scroll through apps, creating a cool color transition.
The tweak also offers many customization options to the users including the ability to change transparency level, choose between background color inspired by the app icon or the app’s snapshot etc.
The SwitchShades tweak for jailbroken devices is compatible with all devices running iOS 11 all the way up to iOS 12.4. It even works with all A12 powered devices. You can download this tweak from Cydia or Sileo for $1.25. It is available through the Packix repo.
ModernSwitcher: Improve the look of App Switcher screen
The ModernSwitcher tweak allows users to customize the look of their device’s App Switcher screen. With this App Switcher hack you can add small but noticeable enhancement to your device’s App Switcher and improve its look and feel. The tweak only changes two things on the iOS App Switcher that includes adding a larger app icon that covers part of the app card behind and a thinner font for the app’s name. You can download the ModernSwitcher tweak from ‘https://repo.mtac.app’ repo where it is available for free.
FlixRatings for Netflix: Add enhanced ratings to Netflix app
FlixRatings for Netflix brings enhanced ratings to the official Netflix app, allowing users to see if the movie or show they are about to watch is popular among users and critics. The tweak displays the enhanced rating right below the movie’s title, which can also be tapped to see detailed ratings on the originating website. The tweak shows the percentage or meter along with the title’s name along with an appropriate Emoji. You can learn more about how the tweak displays different Emoji on tweak’s description page. FlipRatings for Netflix tweak is available in Cydia’s Packix repo for $0.99.
FastOpenApp: Remove Animations To Make iPhone Faster
The FastOpenApp makes your iPhone seem faster by getting rid of ‘unnecessary’ transitions. When this tweak is installed your iPhone will not display app opening animation, App Switch loading animation, Control Center animation and more. Instead the device will instantly launch the app or other part of the operating system, giving the impression of a faster launch. FastOpenApp is a free tweak that can be downloaded from the BigBoss repo. It works with iOS 12.4 jailbreak and A12 devices.
PHToggleOff: Automatically turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with Personal Hotspot
This tweak will automatically turn off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features of your iPhone as soon as you turn off Personal Hotspot feature from Settings. The tweak is tested to work on iOS 12.4 and is available for free through the BigBoss repo.
There you go folks, these are some of the new Cydia hacks that you should try on your jailbroken iOS 12 devices. Let us know your thoughts about these hacks in the comments section below.

Network mobility has attracted large attention to provide vehicles such as trains with Internet connectivity. NEMO Basic Support Protocol (NEMO-BS) supports network mobility. However, through our experiment using a train in service, NEMO-BS shows that the handover latency becomes very large if the signaling messages are lost due to instability of the wireless link during handover. This paper proposes PNEMO, a network-based localized mobility management protocol for mobile networks. In PNEMO, mobility management is basically handled in the wired network so that the signaling messages are not transmitted on the wireless link when handover occurs. This makes handover stable even if the wireless link is unstable during handover. PNEMO is implemented in Linux. The measured performance shows that the handover latency is almost constant even if the wireless link is unstable when handover occurs, and that the overhead of PNEMO is negligible in comparison with NEMO-BS.

Overview (current section).
Terra Incognita: Ambient Works 1975 - Present - Студийный альбом от Boyd Rice. Вышел 23 августа 2004г. В альбом вошло 13 треков.
The album was first pressed in 1978 via Graybeat Records. This pressing was a 7" record housed in a 12" sleeve containing 17 tracks on side A, with side B blank. In 1981, Graybeat Records repressed the record, however, both side A and B of the record now included the same 17 tracks.
Shop Vinyl and CDs and complete your NON collection. at any speed, with the choice of 2 holes and 17 locked grooves. This is the greatest album of the 20th century with your mind. This is not some hippy bullshit, it's about the power you have over your own perception of reality.
The record also had an extra spindle hole, drilled off-center by Non's Boyd Rice himself since the manufacturing plant refused, theoretically doubling the permutations of various sounds. As the grandfather to all those other locked-groove records - like the various-artist compilations RRR-500 and LockERS, Toydeath's Locked Grouves, and the multitude of vinyl out of Cologne, Germany - Pagan Musak still holds up well, even if it lacks the quantity of locked grooves that many of these other albums boast.
Wu-Tang Clan's Secret Album Unveiled: Once Upon A Time In Marrakech Forbes.
Some people might say this album is only self-referential rubbish, but at the time it was extremely innovative. The fact that the concept is simple (17 tracks of locked grooves) doesn't mean it is not artistic and unique in its own way of conveying concepts of weirdness, disturbance and "pagan muzak" (by only using looping noises). Also some elements of the first pressing are curious: the vinyl could be played at any speed, and it included an off center hole drilled for an alternate method of play.

The clock radio turned on to signal me that it was time to get up to get ready for work, like every other day before. But this day, would be like no other. It was the day the world stood still.
There was no music playing. There were several DJ voices on the radio sounding confused, hyper and stressed. It was unlike anything I had ever heard before. I remember my confusion as I stumbled out of bed to turn the television on. My brain had not fully awakened yet and I could not understand what all the fuss was about. I knew something major had happened but the magnitude and extent was unclear.
I had slept in that day. I believe my husband must have put my 6 and 8 year old boys on the bus or taken them to their catholic school. We watched together in disbelief as we tried, like the rest of the country to make sense of what had happened and what was currently transpiring. The second plane flew into the tower and then, it was no longer, “a freak accident.” We knew. We were under attack.
The towers fell as I was on the phone with my best friend. I didn’t want to go to work. I wanted to pick my babies up from school and hide in my house indefinitely. I wanted them safe. If there were people in this world capable of doing this, how far would their plan be carried out? What else was in store? Would it, could it extend to their school?
I’m not sure where my head was but I went to work. I was a waitress and money had to be made. I grieved each event with each customer and no one was in any particular hurry.
An older woman came in and was seated in my section. I will never forget how she just sat lifeless in the booth, staring into space. Most of the people who had come in before her were very talkative and wanted nothing more than to work out these events verbally with others to try to grasp what was going on. Not this woman. I had to engage her in conversation. I asked how she was as I placed my hand on her shoulder. “I just came from Logan. I put my sister on flight 93.” We hugged and cried together. I remember the silence of everyone around and how it felt like an eternity. There’s always that first story you hear from another person who was directly affected, that brings in into reality. This was mine.
With each customer who came in there was a new update. Flights were grounded until further notice. What? My Mother-In-Law was a stewardess flying overseas! Where was she? Was she safe? Was anyone I knew in those towers, on those planes? I knew in my heart there was. I don’t remember staying at work the entire shift. We may have closed. I’m not sure. Anything besides the news and how my family was reacting and dealing became a blur.
Over the next several days we touched base with as many people as we could to be sure everyone was safe. Tragedy had not hit our immediate family but it felt as if it had. The entire country was in mourning. Flags were flown from almost every vehicle within days. Flags sold out of every store. The pride of our country was shown and everyone seemed so much more in touch with each other, kinder, gentler. We all had a common thread. We had all witnessed the same tragedy and knew on a deep level what we were all feeling. Strangers banded together.
The children had been told at school what had happened and I felt for the teachers who had to learn the news then face the children in a way as to not panic them. I recall the need to have the news on but to have to shelter the children from the images and turn the TV off when they were around, all the while, feeling as if something may happen closer to home than it had and feeling out of touch when it was off.
I had a spare portable black and white TV and over the next few days it sat on the back counter in the restaurant and between tables we all gathered around it to hear the latest. I was working when President Bush declared war.
I remember sitting in my car, I have no idea how much longer after the events, listening to every name of every person who perished and those who were missing being read over the radio and holding my breath between each one, praying it was not someone I knew. How badly I wanted to be at ground zero to help in any way possible.
Weeks went by and the images were played over and over on TV and timelines and pictures printed again and again in the paper. There was no Facebook, no social media, not on the common level. Yet, we were all connected; even Bostonians and New Yorkers were brothers and sisters.
I recall a comment being made on the radio that we are Americans and we all have A.D.D. They said we would soon forget and it would be put behind us; life would go on and even return to what it was. I didn’t want to believe that. I wanted to believe we would all be a kinder, gentler nation of people, banded together much more closely than before; all of us looking out for each other; having each others backs.
One by one, the flags we flew on our cars became ripped and torn. We replaced them with flag stickers and said we would never forget. Anniversaries of September 11 came and went. It has now been 12 years since the tragedies. I don’t want to remember the events of that day. I don’t want to ever feel that vulnerable again, as a person or as a nation. We still ask, “How could that have ever happened, HERE?”
Today, I have shed my tears in remembrance of the stories of survivors, of so many who were lost that day.
I. Will NEVER. Forget. I will never forget the events, the still pictures and videos that are imbedded in my mind from repetition of play. I will never forget how the words, “United We Stand,” took on a much deeper meaning. I will never forget the way our country banded together and how we all felt united, through the sorrow, the tears, the humanity, the trauma, the healing.
I. Will NEVER. Forget.

Last year the Azure DW team announced the availability of added another hotly requested feature, auto creation of statistics.
Auto creating statistics has many known benefits which impacts DevOps, as database deployment pipelines don’t have to include the statistics creating queried, DBA’s who don’t have to worry about the lack of statistics on objects and business users who normally suffer from poorly perming reports and queries.
The Azure DW blogpost describes the impact well.
The Peril, yes there is one – is that auto created stats objects will sometimes prevent columns from being dropped from tables. The following error can sometimes be observed:
SQL exception has occured in script: '0000001-dropColum.sql'
Script block number: 0; Block line 1; Message:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): The statistics 'Stat_b71bb60085b5420bbd7b95c46e578bb6' is dependent on column 'CostValue'.
Should this error occur, then the best option would be to disable auto create stats, and after the db deploy / code has been run we can enable it:
ALTER DATABASE SalesDW SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS OFF;
ALTER DATABASE SalesDW SET AUTO_CREATE_STATISTICS ON;
Top tip: disable at the start of your database deployment and then enable at the end. MS Docs

Meet the Holy Grail(s) of Chanel Handbags
The Graffiti Collection
When: Spring/Summer 2015
Why it’s a collector’s piece: Karl Lagerfeld’s collection of graffiti-sprayed canvas backpacks and totes gave the signature Chanel look a streetwear spin: think stencilled CCs and quilting, bright braided tassels and frayed edging. It’s a quintessential Karl design – a daring reinterpretation of the fashion house’s iconic branding that somehow just works. The backpack predictably became the It-bag of the summer, snapped up the likes of Kristen Stewart, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.
Brocade Timeless Bag
Why it’s a collector’s piece: SACLÀB co-founder Oliver Stueck pinpoints this pretty-in-pink creation as a particularly uncommon discovery on the secondhand market. Crafted in floral brocade – a lustrous woven fabric dating back to the Middle Ages – with a delicate gold thread running through it, the Brocade Timeless is truly exquisite. Pink is the most popular shade, but the bag also comes in a blue/black colourway.
Vintage Vanity Case with Handle
Why it’s a collector’s piece: The Vanity Case bag is a perennial Chanel favourite, but it’s the original incarnation that collectors hanker after. Released in the ‘90s, this small, square vanity case with a delightfully puffy handle and large diamond quilting was ideal for carrying cosmetics when travelling. You can also find ‘90s vanity cases with a stiff chain handle, but the former variety is more valuable. Today, the vanity case comes with a shoulder strap, to be used as a cross-body bag – an important distinction to know when you’re searching for the ‘90s version.
Paris-Shanghai Matryoshka Doll Minaudiere
When: Fall 2010
Why it’s a collector’s piece: Chanel’s annual Métiers d’Art collection is an opportunity for the house’s many skilled ateliers to showcase their craft. Centred around a different city each year, these demi-couture creations are often instantly collectable. This intricate matryoshka doll minaudiere, made from enamel, lucite and crystals, was produced for the Paris-Shanghai collection in 2010 as an opulent tribute to Chinese culture. Another doll was created for the Paris-Bombay Métiers d’Art collection in 2011, but it’s this version which has proved the most desirable amongst collectors.
The So Black Series
When: Late ‘00s onwards
Why it’s a collector’s piece: Like their Hermès equivalent, Chanel’s super-chic So Black bags are incredibly popular on the secondary market. Made with jet-black leather and blackened metal hardware, Chanel first introduced their So Black line towards the end of the ‘00s, and production is very sporadic – making them a rare and exciting find. Most commonly, you’ll find So Black editions of the 2.55 and Timeless Classic.
Runway Limited Editions
When: Every season
Why it’s a collector’s piece: The late Karl Lagerfeld always had a penchant for putting on a show – and nowhere could that be seen more than in his immersive runway productions for Chanel. From spaceships to supermarkets, Karl’s sets were fantastical and fabulous in equal measure, and the bags that were produced for them are no exception. Often crafted in plexiglass, Chanel runway bags offer irreverent riffs on each show’s theme, and some in particular have garnered a cult following. Look out for the ‘Lait de Coco’ milk bottle minaudiere, the Chanel No.5 perfume bottle evening bag, and the candy-coloured Lego clutches.
First Edition Boy Bag
When: Fall RTW 2011
Why it’s a collector’s piece: When Karl Lagerfeld introduced the Boy Bag in 2011, it quickly found its way into the Chanel handbag hall of fame. Named after Boy Capel, Coco Chanel’s paramour, the Boy Bag injected a shot of youthful, punkish attitude into the historic fashion house. It’s now a permanent and important fixture in Chanel’s seasonal bag offering, however, Oliver recommends looking out for the first edition Boy Bag as a future collector’s item. It features a slightly different clasp at the front, and no diamond quilting.
Flap Bag with Large CC Clasp
When: 1990s – 2004
Why it’s a collector’s piece: For those who love a vintage vibe, this now-discontinued Jumbo Flap Bag is a fabulous find on the resale market. Last produced in 2004, the large, golden CC clasp on the front gives it retro appeal. It’s the perfect investment for someone looking for a classic Chanel bag with a hint of ‘fashion insider’ prowess.
Pearl On Flap Bag
When: Spring/Summer 2019
Why it’s a collector’s piece: It’s easy to see why the retail price of this Chanel beauty has already doubled since its release. The black leather acts as a dramatic backdrop to a generous sprinkling of luminous pearls, a signature of the brand. It’s important to note that this style was an update on the less-valuable Pearly Flap Bag that was produced in 2015 – where the pearls are more spaced out. A hit on Instagram, this is a true treasure on the secondhand market.
Lucky Charm Series
When: 2007 onwards
Why it’s a collector’s piece: What’s not to love about this characterful carryall? Chanel’s delectable Lucky Charm bags, first produced in 2007, are embellished with whimsical trinkets which have evolved with each release – from glittering ‘Coco’s to padlocks and perfume bottles. The most popular version is the Chanel Reissue 2.55 in black leather with all-over charm embellishment, but we also love this Timeless style, where the charms dangle from the chain strap.
Though less specific in terms of year or style, there are a few materials that Chanel occasionally dabbles in which are always prized amongst collectors. When you’re scrolling through your secondhand sources, keep your eyes peeled for 2.55 and Timeless bags that are made in velvet, denim or wicker.

Following the election of Donald Trump and the anti-immigration policies he proposed, Ithaca College’s Student Governance Council passed a bill at its final meeting of the semester to protect undocumented students who attend the college.
The sanctuary bill proposes that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy — which grants undocumented immigrants the right to attend college if they arrived in the United States when they were under the age of 16 and meet several other guidelines — be upheld at Ithaca College if it were to be overturned by the Trump administration. The bill also proposes that the college not assist the federal government in any attempts to deport students, faculty or staff members from the college.
Michele Hau, SGC vice president of academic affairs, sponsored the bill with SGC President Marieme Foote; Chief of Staff Meredith Husar; Danielle Weinstein, vice president of communications; Emily Honen, senator for the School of Humanities and Sciences; Senator-at-Large Cat Proulx; and TJ Horgan, Class of 2019 senator.
Foote said the idea for the bill came from students on campus who supported the motion for the college to become a sanctuary campus. Across higher education, college students have been petitioning their colleges and universities to become sanctuary campuses.
Following the election and President Tom Rochon’s letter to the school calling for solidarity, 250 students, faculty and alumni signed a petition addressed to Rochon, which stated “we suggest that the College declare itself a ‘sanctuary center of higher education’ committed to protecting the members of its community from unfair deportation, investigation, or other intimidation.” Students also held a rally Nov. 16 in support of making the college a sanctuary campus, and 100 students signed a petition at the event that advocated for the rights of undocumented students at the college.
“We had this idea in play, and then a student reached out to us on our Facebook and was like, ‘This is something we’re really interested in. You should probably do this,’” Foote said. “And so we’ve been working on physically making this a bill because it’s something that’s going on across higher ed and it affects us too.”
The Town of Ithaca became a sanctuary city in 2007 after the Ithaca Common Council passed the Statement on Immigration Enforcement resolution, and as a result, the Ithaca Police Department is encouraged to not enforce immigration laws unless criminal activity is suspected. The bill proposed a similar idea in that the Office of Public Safety would not question or arrest individuals based on the lack of documentation proving citizenship.
SGC’s sanctuary bill passed with 15 votes in favor and two opposed. Some senators questioned how the bill complied with state laws regarding and if there could be any negative repercussions regarding federal funding if the college became a sanctuary campus.
Members of the student body also in attendance at the meeting asked questions about the bill. Juniors Jonathan Ripic and Caleb Slater attended the meeting and questioned the criticism of Trump’s immigration plans considering the Obama administration has deported more immigrants than any other administration. They also criticized the legality of the bill’s initiatives.
“I was just curious as to what the reasoning was behind it and why they were trying to push it, especially considering there is no actual legal basis if the bill was to be passed,” Ripic said.
Foote responded that students have recently expressed concern, and the SGC has the responsibility to listen to the concerns of its constituency.
Prior to the proposal of the bill, the initiatives in the bill were discussed with the Executive Board of Staff Council and the Faculty Council. Hau said she hopes the campus unites behind the bill now that it has passed and that communication continues with the Staff Council and the Faculty Council going into the future.
“I’m very hopeful that with this bill being passed, as well as continuing conversations with Staff Council and Faculty Council, that we can sort of all come together and have this be a large campus initiative that we pass on into the incoming year,” Hau said.

TOXsIgN is a new multi-species public repository for toxicogenomic signatures... but wait a second, what is a "toxicogenomic signature"?
[Toxicogenomics signature]: the description of -omics (e.g. transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics) effects on individuals or their descendants, after exposure to single or combined environmental factors, including chemical (e.g. pesticides, plasticizers, drugs, endocrine disruptors), physical (e.g. radiations, temperature) or biological (e.g. pathogens, parasites) factors. When using transcriptomic technologies, the corresponding signature is the set of genes whose expression is known to be positively or negatively altered after an exposure to these factors.
Considerable worries have recently been raised regarding the lack of reproducibility of biomedical research, and more particularly in the field of toxicology. Funding agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), share this concern and discuss ways to enhance reproducibility in environmental sciences by notably providing greater transparency of data, including negative findings or contradictory data that should also be adopted more widely in peer-reviewed journals. Journals and public funding agencies have thus begun to make public availability of raw and analyzed data a condition for publication or funding, respectively.
In addition, we believe that it is also a matter of give and take. Making toxicogenomic signatures data available to the community: i) on one hand, it will facilitate data comparison and the development of innovative tools; and, ii) on the other hand, it will make your toxicological studies and publications more visible (as investigators will be able to compare their own signature data with yours) and it will thus boost citations of your scientific articles.
This repository is not intended either to archive raw data, as GEO and ArrayExpress do, or to replace existing toxicogenomics databases such as CTD, LINCS, diXa and CEBS, but rather to complement these resources by acting as a distribution hub of toxicogenomic signatures directly submitted by scientists of the community. In addition to serving as a public archive, TOXsIgN also intends to become a warehouse for toxicogenomics and predictive toxicology tools. Its modular design will facilitate the implementation of tools leaning on the deposited signatures that will help investigators analyze, predict and prioritize the toxicological effects of environmental factors.
The TOXsIgN database is organized in a four-layer architecture (Project > Assay > Factor > Signature) associated with a unique identifier that can be reported in submitted manuscripts, like the raw data identifiers from GEO or ArrayExpress. The project layer (associated with an identifier with the “TSP” prefix) covers one or several studies (or subprojects, “TSE” prefix) addressing specific questions. Each study in turn is associated with at least one assay (“TST” prefix) that assesses the exposure of a given study model (e.g., cell culture, living animal, human population) to at least one chemical (e.g., pesticide, plasticizer, drug, or endocrine disruptor), physical (e.g., type of radia-tion or temperature) or biological (e.g., pathogen or parasite) agent at a given dose and for a given time of exposure. Specific outcomes are extracted for each assay in the form of toxicogenomic signatures (“TSS” prefix), i.e., the set of over- and underexpressed genes. Importantly, this organization is compatible with mixtures and transgenerational studies.
In its current state, TOXsIgN is a gene-centric repository that only accepts NCBI Entrez Gene identifiers (IDs) for molecular and "omics" signatures. This restriction has one major advantage: it allows users to perform cross-technology and cross-species comparison of toxicogenomic signatures. As reliable and consistent gene ID conversion is a complex problem. Because reliable and consistent identifier conversion is a complex problem, toxicogenomic signatures should be converted to Entrez Gene IDs from up-to-date resources before being submitted in TOXsIgN (AILUN, DAVID or UniProt). For experiments with Affymetrix GeneChip technologies, it is highly recommended that users normalize their raw data (CEL files) with the BRAINARRAY custom Chip Description Files (CDF so that intensity values are not summarized for each probe set but directly for each Entrez gene ID (Dai et al., 2005).
In its current state, bulk submissions of large datasets (e.g. toxicogenomic signatures for hundreds of environmental factors) is not yet incorporated in TOXsIgN. Nevertheless, the TOXsIgN team will be pleased to help you submit your toxicogenomic signatures. Do not hesitate to contact us!
In a quick and easy submission procedure, investigators will record all required information in a dedicated Excel template. This file embeds one tab for each layer (Project, Study, Assay, and Signature) and it integrates a dozen landmark controlled vocabularies (ontologies) allowing scientists to describe their toxicogenomic studies and their outcomes with precision. Once uploaded, the TOXsIgN webserver performs an initial evaluation of the Excel template to identify: i) “critical errors” about essential information that may not have been properly completed (such as the project title) and could therefore prevent the project upload; ii) “warnings” for important but not essential missing information (such as a PubMed identifier); and, iii) “information” for any other data not appropriately completed (such as additional information). If the system detects no “critical error”, it next invites the user to upload the associated toxicogenomic signatures. Each signature comprises three one-column text files specifying: i) all interrogated genes; ii) significantly overexpressed genes; and iii) underex-pressed genes.
By default, each submitted project and its related signatures are tagged with a “private” status meaning that only authorized users (the owner but also coauthors) can access the uploaded data. At this stage, information can still be modified simply by uploading an updated version of the Excel template. A button is available on the web interface for each project to request the TOXsIgN administrators to change the project status from private to public. If “warnings” are still detected, this demand is rejected. The administrators will then help the investigators make the necessary modifications to change the status. Full instructions and examples of the submission procedure are provided in the tutorial section.
A powerful search engine is implemented to access all public information within TOXsIgN. Users can thus interrogate the database ac-cording to many distinct fields, such as environmental factors, organisms, tissues, and technologies. They can also easily make more advanced queries by using ontologies to describe toxicogenomic signatures.
Several toxicogenomic tools are already available in the warehouse and others are currently being developed in our lab. If you want to make a contribution to TOXsIgN by sharing your own developed tools, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help you integrate this new module in the web interface

WIAA State Champions
For the second year in a row, the Wildcats girls’ tennis team won the WIAA Division 2 State Team Tennis Tournament. USM defeated Waukesha Catholic Memorial 5–2 in the tournament finals. It’s the ninth team championship for USM. Veda Sane ’19, who finished third at the individual championships, won her match at No. 1 singles. Zoe Francis ’19 also won at No. 2 singles, and Vanessa Goris ’19 won at No. 4 singles for USM.
USM’s Stephanie Guy ’20 and Audrey Treptow ’21 won their No. 2 doubles match and Kala Siddalingaiah ’21 and Rebecca Daskal ’22 won the No. 3 doubles match for the Wildcats.
The University School boys’ soccer team won the WIAA 2018 Division 4 State tournament finals with a 2–1 victory over the previously undefeated Amery Warriors. Co-captain Matias Dermond ’19 scored the two goals, but it was a full team effort that gave USM the victory over Amery. The Wildcats’ defense, including co-captain Ethan Ford ’19, Branden Hicks-Becker ’19, Tommy Hayden ’21, Jordan Puetz ’20, Kai Prawitz ’20, and Carson Mogush ’19, consistently frustrated the Amery forwards. USM’s goalkeeper Evan Bolton ’19 only had to make three saves as a result. The Wildcats ended the season with a final record of 18-2-1.
Cross Country Competes at State
Ishan Kuttickat ’19 and Lexi Keppler ’20 represented the University School cross country team in the Division 2 State Cross Country Championships. Kuttickat placed 53rd out of 152 boys, with a time of 17:23.6.
Keppler’s time of 19:57.3 broke USM’s record, set in 2016, by .65 seconds. She placed 23rd out of 152 girls competing. Only 13 runners ran faster than her in the final 1.1 miles.
Boy’s Tennis Wins State Award
“We could not be more proud of both Ishan and Lexi,” said USM’s head coach, Eric Pilling. “Their exceptional performances reflect the success of the entire 2018 team.”
The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, in partnership with Rural Mutual Insurance Company, has selected the University School boys’ tennis team as the recipient of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Team Sportsmanship Award for the 2018 Spring State Team Tournament. (The team finished as the state runner-up this spring, falling to Edgewood 4-3 in the Division 2 final.) This is the first time that the USM boys’ tennis team has earned the award, but the fourth time a USM team has received the award overall.
The WIAA/Rural Mutual Insurance Sportsmanship Award is presented to one school and community in each of the state team tournaments. The award winners are determined by the conduct and sportsmanship displayed by athletes, coaches, cheer and support groups, mascots, bands, and spectators.

B2_#023 // The Fake Newsroom // Sabrina Syed
The race of the mind is personal, a never-ending marathon.
The 64m3 is occupied by the hybrid metaphor of a “newspress” treadmill, turning indefinitely. We (the runners) power through news of all forms: digital, spoken, printed – in an effort to stay informed. Stay relevant. Stay Woke. Like the treadmill, motivations for the race can be consciously driven, or ego-fuelled. Consuming news is not limited to our social-media vacuums. Even when we exit the race, our minds are still racing. Our bodies are physically affected. And after a moment of processing, we get back on to continue running.
Analytical news provokes critical thinking. Fake news provokes emotional reactions. The click-bait culture of our Newsfeed is easily consumed yet deprives us of substance. Sensationalism in a digital age is the RedBull of reading; after a high, we crash. At worst, in our exhaustion of fake outrage arrives apathy. But we can pace ourselves. We can question, why is it that we are racing at this moment? To sound intelligent? To contribute to an argument? Maybe to challenge our views. Or have a conversation with someone that doesn’t confirm our narratives, but explains the reasons behind theirs.
There are so many reasons to race. Why do you race?
Sabrina Syed is an M.A. Architecture Graduate from the University of Edinburgh (ESALA)

New Delhi [India], Aug 12 (ANI): The National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 met for the first time on Wednesday and discussed the creation of a digital infrastructure for inventory management and delivery mechanism of the vaccine.
The meeting was chaired by Dr V K Paul, member NITI Aayog with secretary, ministry of health and family welfare, as the co-chair.
A press statement from the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said, "The expert group deliberated on conceptualisation and implementation mechanisms for creation of a digital infrastructure for inventory management and delivery mechanism of the vaccine including tracking of vaccination process with particular focus on last mile delivery."
"They discussed broad parameters guiding the selection of COVID-19 vaccine candidates for the country and sought inputs from Standing Technical Sub-Committee of National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI). The group delved on the procurement mechanisms for COVID-19 vaccine, including both indigenous and international manufacturing along with guiding principles for prioritisation of population groups for vaccination," the press release said.
The expert group discussed the financial resources required for procurement of COVID-19 vaccine and the different options. Available options in terms of delivery platforms, cold chain and associated infrastructure for roll out of COVID-19 vaccination were also taken up.
Further, strategy and follow-up action on all possible scenarios to ensure equitable and transparent delivery of vaccine was deliberated upon. Issues related to vaccine safety and surveillance were taken up and strategy for community involvement through transparent information and awareness creation were discussed.
The press release added, "India's support to its key neighbours and development partner countries for COVID-19 vaccines was deliberated upon. The expert group discussed that India will leverage domestic vaccine manufacturing capacity and will also engage with all international players for early delivery of vaccines not only in India but also in low and middle income countries."
The committee also advised all the States not to chart separate pathways of procurement, it said. (ANI)

Maritime Law: Costa Cruise Ticket – Forum Selection – Non US Cruises
The Costa Cruise Ticket – Forum Selection – Non US Cruises provides:
b) Voyages That Do Not Depart from, Return to, or Visit a U.S. Port - All claims, controversies, disputes, suits and matters of any kind whatsoever arising out of, concerned with or incident to any voyage that does not depart from, return to, or visit a U.S. port, or to this Contract if issued in connection with such a voyage, shall be instituted only in the courts of Genoa, Italy, to the exclusion of the courts of any other county, state or nation. Italian law shall apply to any such proceedings.
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals – NINA JANET SEUNG,Plaintiff – Appellant,versusREGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES, INC., PAUL GAUGUIN SHIPPING LIMITED, decided August 19, 2010.
The forum selection clause at issue here provides that:
For all cruises which include a port of the United States of America, it is agreed by and between the Passengers and Owners that any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Ticket/Contract shall be determined by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Fort Lauderdale . . . . For all cruises which do not includea port of the United States, it is agreed by and between the passengers and Owners that any and all disputes and matters whatsoever arising out of or in connection with this Ticket/Contract shall be litigated and determined, if at all, before a court of competent jurisdiction in Paris, France . . . .
Seung’s cruise departed from Tahiti, and was to travel only within French Polynesia.
Nina Janet Seung appeals from the district court’s dismissal of her lawsuit arising from injuries she incurred while onboard the M/S Paul Gauguin, owned by Defendants Regent Seven Seas Cruises and M/V Paul Gauguin Shipping Limited (collectively, “Regent"). On appeal, Seung argues that the district court erred in enforcing a forum selection claim that required the lawsuit to be brought in Paris, France, instead of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After careful review, we affirm.
The Eleventh Circuit citing Shute, 499 U.S. at 593-94
Including a reasonable forum clause in a form contract of this kind well may be permissible for several reasons: First, a cruise line has a special interest in limiting the fora in which it potentially could be subject to suit. Because a cruise ship typically carries passengers from many locales, it is not unlikely that a mishap on a cruise could subject the cruise line to litigation in several different fora. Additionally, a clause establishing ex ante the forum for dispute resolution has the salutary effect of dispelling any confusion about where suits arising from the contract must be brought and defended, sparing litigants the time and expense of pretrial motions to determine the correct forum and conserving judicial resources that otherwise would be devoted to deciding those motions. Finally, it stands to reason that passengers who purchase tickets containing a forum clause like that at issue in this case benefit in the form of reduced fares reflecting the savings that the cruise line enjoys by limiting the fora in which it may be sued.
The Eleventh Circuit reasoned through and negated each of Plaintiff’s claims and
Thus, Seung, who chose to travel internationally, may have benefitted financially from the inclusion of the forum selection clause. The fact that she is an “elderly female plaintiff," that Regent’s headquarters are not in Paris, or that the forum is overseas does not mean that Seung’s current financial difficulties should dictate the invalidation of the clause. . . Nor are we convinced by Seung’s reliance on her medical problems. . . Seung has also failed to show that Paris is a remote, alien forum . . .
Furthermore, even if more of Regent’s cruises depart from Ft. Lauderdale than French ports, Seung’s ship notably did not depart from Ft. Lauderdale, but from French Polynesia. In fact, the contract expressly provides that had her cruise departed from any United States port, the appropriate forum would have been in Ft. Lauderdale. Thus, as a Florida state court has held in a forum selection suit also involving the Paul Gaugin, where “the Paul Gauguin both departed and returned from a foreign locale, never making contact with any ports or waters of the United States[,] . . . it is reasonable that Radisson selected Paris, France as a neutral location in order to dispel confusion as to where passengers from a variety of countries could bring a lawsuit." Burns v. Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, Inc., 867 So. 2d 1191, 1193 (Fla. App. 4th Dist. 2004).
What is your best argument to overcome such a strong policy as in this and Shute?

At one point, Thomas Graves was living 2,000 miles from his mother and relied upon an in-home caregiver to make sure she was well-cared for and living in comfort. During extended visits back home, he began to witness a deterioration in the quality of care she was receiving.
“I felt there was no active supervision over the caregiver by the organization’s leadership,” said Thomas. “The level of familiarity between the caregiver and my mother led to lapses in care, and there was a nearly complete lack of communication with our family.”
If anything, this experience showed Thomas exactly what he wouldn’t do if he owned a home care business.
In June 2020, Thomas became the owner of BrightStar Care of Anne Arundel County, Easton and Salisbury, with the goal of continuing the exceptional level of care his predecessor helped build and providing A Higher Standard of care in additional territories.
Jumping into Home Care Franchise Ownership from a Place of Strength
Over the past 33 years, Thomas has held numerous leadership positions in nationally recognized cancer institutes.
In his most recent role as the Vice President of Cancer Services of a Fairfax, Virginia-based health care system, Thomas helped open a new cancer institute in May 2019.
Previously, he had been responsible for the development of comprehensive cancer clinical care and research programs, facilitating clinical trials and patient-centered, evidence-based multidisciplinary systems of care for all cancer patients.
Having built such a strong track record as a leader in health care administration, you might be wondering what motivated him to pursue entrepreneurship.
“My father was a small-business owner in the agricultural industry,” Thomas said. “I’ve learned a lot throughout my career, but thinking about my father and remembering the times working with him on his business, it [business ownership] was something I always wanted to do.”
It wasn’t until about four years ago that Thomas started to give it some serious thought. He began researching industries that would allow him to leverage his background in health care.
That’s when BrightStar Care caught his attention.
A Higher Standard that Separates Homecare Franchises
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the BrightStar Care business model is that all accounts are overseen by a Registered Nurse. While not all clients need skilled nursing care, the fact that a caregiver with a clinical background is readily available was a huge differentiator for Thomas.
“Partnering with clinical leaders is the pathway to better client outcomes and delivering higher-quality care,” Thomas explained.
Meanwhile, Joint Commission accreditation was another important variable that came into play when Thomas was considering the opportunity to assume ownership of the three existing home health care agencies.
And after meeting Shelly Sun and other members of the BrightStar Care leadership team during the Discovery Day, Thomas was struck by how sharp they were and the level of support provided by the corporate team - further solidifying his decision to become a franchisee.
He now leads a management team of 25 employees who in turn oversee 320 caregivers out in the field. He’s able to rely on a director of nursing, a marketing team made up of three full-time staff members, a director of finance and several others who have played key roles in helping the Annapolis-based business achieve strong year-over-year growth.
As he becomes more acclimated to the business, Thomas already knows how he sees himself providing the greatest benefit.
“I’m looking forward to being able to work on the business, instead of just in the business,” said Thomas. “Realistically, there are other people who can do 95 percent of what I’m doing, while there’s another 5 percent that focuses on strategy and leveraging my industry expertise to which I’d like to dedicate my time.”
Bringing a Growth Mindset
Even though he’s only owned his BrightStar Care franchise for a couple of months, Thomas has his sights set on growth. In fact, he’s identified territories in Delaware where there are large retirement communities that he believes would greatly benefit from the services of his home care franchise.
“A few of our competitors currently service the markets, and I’m very interested in making our presence known,” he added. “It’s something I’m going to be discussing with the leadership at BrightStar Care to see if it would be a natural next step for me.”

CW+ is delighted to hear that the London Borough of Hounslow’s entry in to the London New Year’s Day Parade 2019 won 10th place! The Borough will receive an incredible £5,000 for the Mayor of Hounslow’s two chosen charities, which includes our Sun and Stars Appeal.
Hounslow competed alongside Boroughs from across the capital in a bid to win a top ten place prize in the LNYDP Borough Competition this year. Each London Borough entered their performance group and parade float. The entries were judged on who best represented the LNYDP 2019 theme, London Welcomes the World. Hounslow’s creative entry came from Feltham Arts Association and was entitled Hands up for Your Colours. The incredible performance included dancers from OTB Dance Company and Dhol drummers from Asian British Music.
Our Sun and Stars Appeal is raising £100,000 to transform the children’s wards at West Middlesex University Hospital into a child-friendly, welcoming and calming environment with better facilities specifically designed to make being in hospital easier for children and their parents. The transformation will include a new play room, a ‘home-from-home’ parents’ area, entertainment equipment and technology at every bedside, and bespoke artwork throughout.
Thanks to our generous supporters, we have now raised more than £70,000 but are still looking for support from our local community to achieve our goal. If you would like to get involved, please email [email protected].

For dependent students you will need copies of your prior, prior years (2 years ago) tax transcript and W2’s, along with your parent tax transcript, W2’s and personal information in order to complete the FAFSA. You are given the opportunity to use the IRS Data Retrieval tool to pull your tax information directly from the IRS, which can expedite processing of your FAFSA application. We encourage you to use this option, if eligible during the submission of your application.
1) Complete Entrance Counseling and 2) Sign Your Master Promissory Note
Go to www.studentloans.gov and complete counseling for entrance, financial awareness and sign your master promissory note (unless you already have one on file). See the steps below.

- Next click the link “Sign Master Promissory Note” (MPN), be sure you submit the note once you complete the information requested on the form.
For students wishing to have a parent apply for a parent loan on their behalf, have your parent complete step #1 above, signing in with their FSA user ID and password; they will then select the option Direct Parent Loan Application. If approved, they will need to then complete step #3 above to “Sign Master Promissory Note”, as well.
COLLEGE WORK STUDY
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program is a need-based financial aid program. It provides funds that students earn through part-time employment to help pay the costs of their educational expenses. Funds must be earned and are paid directly to you, bi-weekly, and are not credited to your student account unless authorized.
Non-Federal Work Study Opportunities
DCC also provides a limited number of on-campus, part-time employment opportunities for students who do not demonstrate financial need. Visit the college Community Career Center for more information and available job openings for students’ off-campus.
Work-Study Award Amount
The amount of your Federal Work-Study award will be determined by your financial need (you must have an estimated financial contribution (EFC) under 2001, based on your financial aid budget and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) information. Financial need is defined as the difference between the total cost of attendance and the expected family contribution (EFC), determined by the FAFSA, and other current financial aid awards.
Work-Study Employment Opportunities
Federal Work-Study jobs may be on or off campus. Off-campus FWS jobs with federal, state or local public agencies or private nonprofit organizations must be in the public interest. Off-campus FWS jobs with private, for-profit organizations must be academically relevant to the maximum extent possible. Your college might have agreements with private, for-profit employers for Federal Work-Study jobs. This type of job must be relevant to your course of study (to the maximum extent possible).
Pay Rate, Hours and Maximum Allowed Earnings
The Federal Work-Study pay rate can vary per job, and students may not work more than 20 hours per week. Students may earn up to their awarded amount.

There’s a new face roaming the halls and spreading smiles at the Hayes Building this year — Franklin, a therapy dog in training.
When Probation Officer Gia DeGirolamo started working at the probation department of Delaware County Juvenile Court in 2016, she saw an article about therapy dogs, printed it out, and wrote “GOAL” on it.
DeGirolamo said there are many advantages to having a therapy dog in the juvenile court.
“I see a lot of trauma,” DeGirolamo said. “I want the trauma cases. I can relate to those, because I was a victim of trauma and I know what my dog has done for me. Dogs can increase your dopamine and decrease your (stress hormone) cortisol. It was a wrap for me. It’s scientific, and I’ve seen it work. It’s worked for me personally.”
Now, the 14-week-old embodiment of that goal, Franklin, can be seen walking the halls. Often, he is stopped by juvenile court employees, including Judge David Hejmanowski, who can’t resist petting the K9. DeGirolamo said Franklin was adopted from the Delaware County Human Society and was officially transferred to Delaware County as a therapy dog in training at the start of this year.
DeGirolamo, who handles Franklin, said he’s still a puppy and has more puppy, obedience, and therapy training to go. By May, she added, he’ll be done with most of his training. Franklin is a black Labrador mix, DeGirolamo said.
She added he’s already lifted the spirits around the court and has already helped to comfort a victim in a case the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office was handling.
“I’ve seen what he can do, even untrained,” DeGirolamo said. “It’s just amazing to me. Everywhere we go around the courthouse, it’s ‘Franklin! Franklin!’”
DeGirolamo’s supervisor, department head Kara Moore, said she had doubts and questions about the logistics of having Franklin but said he’s been an asset.
“I’ve seen a kid with a therapy dog here,” Moore said. “They relax. They are able to talk. Sometimes they talk to the dog. As soon as you offer the support of the dog, they are able to come down and talk and be able to express themselves differently. His temperament has been perfect. He’s very calm, very soothing, and very fluffy.”
Hejmanowski said he can think of a lot of jobs for Franklin in the juvenile court.
“(Franklin) is a calming presence,” Hejmanowski said. “I sometimes have to interview kids in child abuse and neglect cases who can be very young. They are coming in and sitting down with a strange adult they’ve never met before and that can be terrifying to them, so having Franklin present in those situations will be great to make it calmer and distract them a little. There are a variety of circumstances (where Franklin can be of use).”
Hejmanowski said Franklin has already calmed some juveniles who were brought into court for being unruly, adding he’s enjoyed getting to know Franklin.
In hopes of building a relationship with Franklin, Hejmanowski said he’s been trying to visit him at least once a day.
“I want him to be comfortable around me, too,” Hejmanowski said.
Moore said they’ve already gotten calls from a few other agencies about using Franklin in situations that involve children.
“It’ll be interesting to find out who calls and who needs him,” Moore said. “The stars aligned. We’re very fortunate to have found this puppy.”
County residents can follow Franklin at the Facebook page “DelCo Therapy K9 Franklin.”

The Regulatory State
By Arnold Kling
Alfred Kahn, the saving grace of the Carter Presidency, writes,
The assumption of Democratic control of Congress last year and the probability that its majority will be increased by this year’s elections portends a growing, deeply troubling ideological split within its ranks, already visible, on matters of economic policy generally and regulatory policy specifically – between the more radical (and at the same time reactionary) populists, who label themselves Progressives, and the 20th century liberals, who have dominated in the formulation of their party’s economic programs for the last three-quarters century.
I have been thinking the same thing. In fact, I just wrote an essay on what I see as the outlook for economic policy in the next Administration, and it’s not pretty.

The other day I was reading about the conditions that would qualify me for a specific fee status for my (God willing) future university. I went through the list of categories, and in category 6 it said "read box 7". I went to box 7 to read about the extra conditions. I started scrolling down the screen to read the other conditions in box 8. After reading from another box and feeling frustrated about the amount of information they required, I was told to stop borrowing from the other box.
You see, the other box was full of things that was meant for another category. If I had started borrowing words and conditions from the other box, I started seeing that I possibly could never fit in the criteria that I was trying to claim.
This got me thinking.
How often do we "borrow" from other people? From other things? Other lifestyles? Other places, events, ideas, seasons?
How many times do we look at another person's life and wish we had what they had, or wished we looked like they did?
What if we understood that being a certain way is perfect for them because they are supposed to fulfill a certain purpose that was tailor made just for them?
This reminded me of the verse in 1 Corinthians 12:15-19 which says, what if the foot said, "I'm not a hand, I do not belong to the body." What if the ear said, "I'm not an eye, I do not belong to the body," or if the whole body were an eye there would be no sense of hearing.
If all the body parts wanted to be another part that they were not, it would be a disaster. When they all first accept their individual part, they will be able to come together and see that they are even more powerful when blended together & required in the functioning of the body.
We have our own individual body, given to us by God, and then we are then placed within a larger body, which is in the family of God. In the body, everyone is uniquely created.
What if the pastor abruptly resigns one day and says, "I want to be on the worship team!" and what if someone in the nursery then says: "okay then, I'll take on the duty of pastor". It just wouldn't fit if it wasn't the calling of God, or if it wasn't a part of God's assignment for them.
The way I started reading all those words from another box to try to see if my claim was valid and was eventually told not take words from there because I would never qualify if I continued to do that, I believe is the same way we should look at life.
Nit picking ourselves and our lives will never work. Looking at other people or other things and trying to mold them into your life just because you noticed it, liked it, or thought it was what was the "in thing" will only wear you out because you will never qualify. The REQUIREMENTS for your God-given destiny has a list below it and it includes the exact height, look, voice, hair, personality, tone, expressions, movements that you have. It lists the talents that you have, and even if others have that same talent, it then has a link that says: "see box 7", and in box 7 it lists your unique way of doing that particular talent that is different from anyone else. If you decided to scroll to box 8 and it was talking about the way you walk or about the next person, you would totally miss the mark.
Let's recognize that we need to stay in our "box", the place that is uniquly designed for us. I once heard someone say: "if you're so busy trying to play everyone else, who's going to play you?"
You're unique, you're a part of the body. You are required in that body, so I encourage you to do your part in the way that you know how and the way that GOD has tailor made for you. Others may or may not see what you have, maybe they haven't have found themselves yet, but don't let that stop you. Continue to do what God has created YOU to do and the only thing that matters is that you are playing the role that was perfectly hand crafted by the Lord Almighty, and He will be the One to reward you when the credits start rolling down the screen at the end of the show.
What if we stopped and contemplated each day about what we are doing? What if we took a moment to say: "Lord, am I playing the role right? Am I being myself? Am I being my authentic self, who I'm created to be? Please help me discover who you want me to be today, and please lead me there. Help me not to settle for carbon copies of others and to not borrow from others' lives. Help me to be the authentic me you created me to be, and to do it well! Amen! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
God has a lot in store for you. Just wait and see! Amen!
Once again, keep the faith, and love like you've never loved before.
With love always,
FAITH by Promises
Is a girl who fell deeply in love with Jesus,

Best NSW outback road trips
On the road in search of dirt tracks, bushland Australia and a more rugged adventure? These outback road trips throughout NSW can do the trick:

- Murray Valley National Park: Nudging the border of Victoria on the southern end of NSW, this national park follows the great Murry River. Choose to camp and hike or take to the water and kayak or canoe among the red river gums searching for waterbirds.
- Lake Mungo: Famed for the Mungo Man and Lady, which are some of the oldest Indigenous remains, Lake Mungo is a dry lake way out in west NSW. Its arid landscape is filled with history and stories of the Dreamtime and is one of the most authentic and unique outback trips you can take in the state. Driving tracks, walking tracks and guided tours can take you around.

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Some teachers in Gwinnett County, Georgia are trying to reunite with their students in an unusual way.
Dozens of teachers formed a caravan and drove street after street, saying hello.
Teachers at several Gwinnett elementary schools decided it was time they saw their students.
At Roberts Elementary, the teachers loaded up in their cars and drove neighborhood to neighborhood.
Third-grader Reif Castellanos stood on his street corner, anxiously waiting for all his teachers to drive by.
“With the break, you get to see your teachers, and that’s pretty cool,” Reif said.
It was a much-needed boost for kids and parents who are a little tired of staying at home.
“We are doing great. We are bored but make the most of it,” Reif’s father, Dantes Castellanos, said.
More than 60 teachers from the Suwanee-area school lined up in a caravan with messages on their windows and love in their hearts as they went from neighborhood to neighborhood for more than two hours.
“Just seeing the smiles on their faces is making my day and I hope it’s making theirs,” pre-K teacher Lori Forrand said.
It's not just Roberts that's doing this. Teachers in several Gwinnett elementary schools are forming caravans.
Social distancing was kind of lost at times as both parents and children got a little excited.
We’ve heard from a handful of other schools that have caravans planned for Thursday as this long unexpected break continues.

Aim is to develop a panel for the measurement of more than 25 fatty acids.
Health Diagnostic Laboratory, a CAP-accredited leader in health management, is acquiring Harris Scientific, a company providing omega-3 fatty acid testing. The deal will expand Health Diagnostic Lab’s menu of risk factors and biomarkers for cardiovascular and related diseases.
Specifically, the takeover will enable Health Diagnostics Lab to expand its fatty acid testing services. The aim is to develop a panel that measures levels of more than 25 individual fatty acids organized into five groups—omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, cis-monounsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acids. The firm’s fatty acid profile will also provide two fatty acid ratios—omega-6:omega-3 and arachidonic:EPA ratios.
“We’ve become conditioned to think of fat as bad,” says William Harris, Ph.D., whose research formed the basis of Harris Scientific’s omega-3 testing. “Omega-3 fats—technically fatty acids—however, are essential to the human body and have benefits for our heart, brain, eyes, and joints.” By reducing inflammation, blood clotting, and improving membrane function, omega-3’s can reduce risk of heart disease including fatal heart attacks and heart failure both in people with a history of cardiovascular disease and in healthy individuals, according to Dr. Harris, who will join Health Diagnostic Laboratory.

Fighters from Hastings Kickboxing Academy walked in to the ‘Kombat Zone’ at the Casino Rooms in Rochester last night and they came away with victories under their belts.
Nick Lelliott was in a rematch against Matt Geere, the man he’d beaten in Hastings last autumn, and not only did Nick win his fight by a unanimous decision, he went on to in the award for Fighter of the Night.
First of the HKA fighters in to the ring was Ellis Nelson who had been away from competition for some time, HKA head coach Carl Denne said: “Ellis was nervous but ready to do the work needed. We knew we had a hard bout ahead of us against Jay Taylor from Kingdom Kickboxing a known strong and talented kicker. But Ellis didn’t let this phase him and went straight to work, controlling the ring for most of the bout – it was no easy win and we had to dig for it, but we did and at the final bell it was Ellis who had his hand raised up high.
“This young man has really shone over the last few months, training and coaching, he’s a real credit to the team and notched up HKA’s first win of the evening.”
Next up was Callum Helsdown who was also facing a tough opponent, a well know lad from the Paul Wiffen Academy called Jack Lake.
Round one saw the honours even for three quarters of the round until the hands from Jack start to pay off – his mobility wasn’t as swift as Callum’s and he looked a little less flamboyant but he was picking his shots with good timing.
Carl says: “For me we had the first round and Callum looked on form. For some reason he used his old gum shield and it kept falling out as it didn’t fit. This frustrated Callum and got in his head, and saw him losing a point as this happened quite a few times. Callum became disheartened as the second round progressed and started to switch. If I’m honest in round three we gave the fight away by not returning fire. At the end of the third round, although Callum was unhurt and he could have soaked up the punches all day, it was obvious he wasn’t going to win so the bout was stopped.”
Carl says that was Callum’s toughest match to date: “We have worked so hard and he is a completely different fighter to last year, I look forward to continuing tweaking and making him the machine he deserves to be.”
Next up was Nick Lelliott in a rematch. Nick beat Matt Geere last year at HKA’s home show at Horntye. Matt’s team were quick to ask for a rematch and the challenge was accepted.
Carl says: “After a tough bout at the end of the year for Nick it was back to the grind in January. We knew Matt was going to come for revenge, he’s been training hard and sparring around the south east. He’s a tricky fighter and wasn’t going to make it easy for us.
“This time the fight was over four rounds. Nick’s strong and took control very early showing Matt we were not there to play around. He cut Matt’s eye in the first 30 seconds, but Matt was still there and throwing dangerous shots, so much so, in the corner after round one Nick said to me, ‘My left eye’s gone blurry!’ I told him, ‘well fight with one eye then!’
Nick continued to set the pace and control things throughout the fight, landing some incredible combinations and spinning kicks and forcing Matt to take a standing eight count. If I’m honest Nick then started to head hunt and wanted to finish the fight early but this lost focus and energy allowing Matt to land a few of his own, reminding Nick it wasn’t over yet.
“In round four Matt had only one thing that could work and that was to KO Nick, and so he tried but after the first half of the round it settled down and towards the end Nick stepped it up once more.” He went on to win by a unanimous decision.
Carl says it was a demonstration of ‘pure class’ and of ‘pure kickboxing’ and the celebrations continued as Nick went on to win Fighter of the Night.
Next up was George French known as ‘Baby-shark’, taking part in a England vs France battle. His opponent had been changed at the last minute but Carl says the basic game plan didn’t change and the intention was to, “keep tidy, work hard and see what comes at us.”
George’s opponent was Antoine Mineaker of team Lamouret, who, on the opening bell, came straight out for English blood, taking George by surprise. But he quickly balanced the score and settled in to the bout.
Carl says: “Both action men battled on and exchanged blow for blow. Although I had us two rounds to one, the French thought their power and aggression had won the fight. At the final bell it was close but Antoine hadn’t thrown enough kicks, George landing the cleaner shots and therefore winning the bout.”
Carl says: “Last night there was one thing that we, as a team, set out to do and that was to change our mindset. My guys are always the ‘nice’ guys and while I love that we are not generally known for aggression. I wanted to change that and from the feedback we received I think we can say it was a success.
“There is always a winner and a loser, that’s the sport we play but last night I felt we had four wins and could not be happier with the team!”

Leeds prepared to spend money
Leeds United are doing all they can to strengthen this January and according to the Daily Mail, they’ve had a £4m offer for West Bromwich Albion forward Tyler Roberts rejected.
Leeds have promotion hopes but sit outside the play-offs with Thomas Christiansen eager to bring in fresh faces. Roberts is on loan at Walsall at present and has scored five times in 17 appearances this season.
The 19-year-old is out of contract in the summer and could leave for just a small compensation fee at the end of the season, so the Baggies have a decision to make whether they sign him to a long term deal or let him go now. Which is why Leeds are trying to force their hand with a sizeable offer.
Black Cats want Chelsea man
Chelsea are no strangers to sending their massive squad of young players out on loan, as Hull City fans will know to well.
Now it seems Sunderland are trying to take advantage of that stance by bringing Chelsea’s Ethan Ampadu to the Stadium of Light until the end of the campaign.
Manager Chris Coleman desperately needs options up front but is without a large transfer kitty, meaning he’s looking to the loan market and the loan specialists in Chelsea.
Coleman handed Ampadu his Wales debut and knows the player well.
Coleman and Sunderland have also not given up on the hope of signing Liverpool’s Ben Woodburn on loan according to the Daily Star.
The 18-year-old, Liverpool’s youngest ever goalscorer, is not getting much of a look-in at Anfield this season but manager Jurgen Klopp has been cool on letting the player depart. Despite this Sunderland could return with another loan offer.
Pep likes Bristol
Bristol City could be about to make a move for Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos, according to Alan Nixon writing in The Sun. Meanwhile, Bristol manager Lee Johnson could be handed a big boost on the transfer front with reports Manchester City are looking at striking up a loan partnership with the club.
City and in particular manager Pep Guardiola have been impressed with Johnson and his team following their League Cup run and could be about to boost Johnson’s promotion push by allowing a number of their players to make a loan switch.
Boro take on Old Firm
Middlesbrough look set to compete with Celtic and Rangers for Hibernian midfielder John McGinn according to reports. Boro manager Tony pulis is looking to strengthen in the wake of Adam Forshaw leaving for Leeds United.

Introduction: Evil LED Goat
Around Halloween, even the most innocent of things seem to turn evil. For example our office mascot, Goat, has started acting weird lately...
This tutorial teaches you how to make your own plush toy with LED eyes that can be controlled by an iPhone. The perfect Halloween scare!
Step 1: Get the Parts
We will be using an Arduino compatible microcontroller called the LightBlue Bean to change the color of the LEDs. It connects to your phone over BLE and comes with an iPhone app called LightBlue that you can use to control it.
This is what you'll need:
Step 2: Solder the LEDs
Step 3: Perform Surgery on Goat
Step 4: Put in the Electronics
Step 5: Install SoftPWM Library
To be able to fade the LEDs, we will need to use a SoftPWM library. This lets you use any digital pin on the Bean as analog output. By calling the function SoftPWMSetPercent(PIN_NUMBER, BRIGHTNESS) we can go from 0-100 percent brightness. If you need help installing libraries to Arduino, check out this guide.
Step 6: Upload Code to Bean
Upload this code to your Bean.
Download the iOS application LightBlue, open it and connect to the Bean, click options and choose Sandbox View. Use the sliders and checkboxes to control the LEDs!
The first slider will set how red the LED is, the second green, the third one blue and the last one sets Goat in disco mode. Nothing makes a party like that!

If the following video is indeed real, it could be our first look inside the internals of Apple’s iPhone X, revealing the phone’s battery layout.
Twitter user @AnsonChen tweeted out a video this morning which claimed to be his friends in Shenzhen, China, tearing down iPhone X, and revealing a two-battery layout:
— Anson Chen ☂ (@AnsonChen) November 2, 2017
Pictures, specifically screenshots, were shared by Weibo user @IVankrTech. Here’s an image of the complete teardown:
These images appear to confirm rumours back in February, shared by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who detailed the 2017 OLED iPhone would contain batteries in an “L” shape:
Users on Reddit note the battery is 10.35wH / 3.81V, which converts to 2716.5 mAh, a touch larger than the 2691 mAh battery found in the iPhone 8 Plus.
We should expect the teardown experts at iFixit to perform their dismantling of iPhone X, soon.
Apple said on stage in September, iPhone X battery life will last two hours longer compared to iPhone 7. A combination of the more efficient A11 Bionic chip and iOS 11.1 should bring more battery life for new users. Stay tuned as iPhone X arrives tomorrow in Canada.

Penguins Taken On Walks Around Empty Zoo And Given Their Very Own Obstacle Course
With people currently unable to visit of their favourite major attractions right now, a group of penguins have been making the most of their unusually-quiet zoo after being given free reign to roam the complex by staff - who have also since made them their very own obstacle course.
Wildlife Reserves Singapore, which owns and operates Singapore Zoo, said on Facebook that its African penguins have been taken out for regular walks, and that they've been so well-behaved that they're now allowed to 'explore new areas' of the zoo - which is currently closed to visitors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The zoo has also set up a new obstacle course for the penguins within their enclosure, in a bid to help them 'build leg strength'. Yep, it sounds like something we could all use right now, to be honest... Anyone got a few hundred kilos of sand for my living room?
Posting a clip of the penguins enjoying the course, WRS wrote on Facebook: "Our African penguins have taken to their walks so well that their keepers think they would love to explore new areas in our parks.
"To help them go further in their little adventures, their exhibit has been transformed into an obstacle course, helping them build leg strength!"
In the video, WRS explained more about how the penguins responded to their new environment, saying: "Our African penguins came back from a swim and were in for a surprise... Their keepers transformed their exhibit.

"The bravest of them all ventured into the new obstacle course, and soon the rest of the colony wanted in on the action.
"African penguin habitats are sandy and can be steep or rocky. The workout strengthens their legs, as different muscles are put to use to navigate new environments. This helps the penguins get ready for their next adventure.
"Try injecting something new to your routine too!"
The video has had more than 2,500 likes and 1,000 shares, with many people commenting to praise the keepers' creative thinking.
One person wrote: "This is so cute! I'm happy that they're having fun."
Someone else joked: "Love this video soooooooo much!! Thank you for the idea! I am gonna create an obstacle course for my kid as well... Minus the sand!!!"
A third added: "Wonderful enrichment for them. Loving the slide to the ball pit."

Check out Weather Now, a great weather app for iPhone and iPad John Kheit turned me onto. It features a gorgeous interface, customizable settings, easily-understood information, and maps for wind speeds, waves, high and low temperatures tracked on the same timeline, and more.
Weather Now for iOS
The first thing about this app is that it looks great. The default view is a spinnable globe of the Earth (sorry, flat earthers) with your location highlighted. You also see the terminator line, as shown below, as well as time and current conditions. You can spin the globe (if you want) and zoom in a little. City lights are visible on the night-side portion of the globe.
The forecast view is likely to be the most important view to most folks, and Weather Now offers a comprehensive look at your weather in a glance. The top panel features a detailed forecast for today, with 8 hours visible at any given time. You can scroll back a few hours to the left, and forward up to 2 days to the right. In the settings, you can change the granularity of this view from 1 hour increments to 6 hours. In the screenshot below, I’m looking at 2 hour increments.
The next panel down offers a 2-week forecast (scroll to the right for more. One of the things I like is that I can see low temperatures in blue and high temperatures in red. That’s a great way to represent this info.
Cloudiness conditions and rain chances are represented by an icon across the top for each day, with an easy-to-read chance of precipitation below. Weekend days are marked in red for yet another handy visual cue for grokking the context of all this information.
The Maps view gives you access to Wind, Rain and Snow, Temperature, Clouds, CAPE Index (Convective Available Potential Energy), and for your surfers, Waves. The map below shows live wind conditions, and it’s an animated map in the app.
I’d never heard of the CAPE Index before, but it’s a measure of atmospheric instability. Lightning activity is one thing that can be gleaned from the CAPE Index.
The app is a free download, with a US$4.99 in-app purchase unlocking temperature-on-badge and weather notifications. I saw some squawking from people in the App Store reviews complaining about the price, but the app is gorgeous and comes with a lot of features for free and without ads. I happily paid $4.99 to support the developers and get those last two features.
Weather Now presents information in an easy-to-digest way, and it looks great. I love weather apps in general, but this is one I’m going to use a lot.

Crimes Against Children and Your Immigration Status
You would be hard pressed to find a prosecutor or judge in any court of New York City or elsewhere in the State of New York who would be sympathetic to a defendant accused of harming a child. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Westchester Rockland, Putnam? It makes no difference.
Make no mistake. Your criminal defense attorney will articulate your strongest defense and you in fact may not be guilty of a crime at all. Remember, the law provides you with the presumption of innocence, but if law enforcement – the police and prosecutors – are going to err on the side of caution in favor of an alleged or real victim, when a crime involves minors these are the cases where they will do so. What complicates matters even more? If you are a foreign national – H1B employee, F1 student, green card holder, legal resident – you will have to wrestle with potentially devastating immigration consequences. Deportation? Revocation of status? Future inadmissibility? It is imperative to discuss these issues with your criminal defense attorney who is representing you in criminal court and your immigration counsel should you believe further insight is necessary. The risks of conviction of or pleading to an offense that could wreak havoc to your future is too significant.
- Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT) and Your Immigration Status
- Aggravated Felonies and Your Immigration Status
- Controlled Substance Crimes and Your Immigration Status
- Crimes Against Children and Your Immigration Status
- Domestic Violence Crimes and Your Immigration Status
- Firearm Crimes and Your Immigration Status
- Prostitution Crimes and Your Immigration Status
The Board of Immigration Appeals as well as judges can have a liberal interpretation as to what constitutes child abuse, child neglect or child abandonment. If it is determined that the record and statute for which you were convicted falls within these definitions, then you are deportable.Crimes Against Children: The New York Penal Law
New York State does not have an offense called “Crimes Against Children”. Instead, certain offenses, when they involve a child, can fall into this category. Some stand out on their face such as Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Others may not be as clear. Further, while some of these offenses may be “merely” misdemeanors punishable by as much as a year in jail, others are felony crimes. These latter offenses may carry mandatory terms of imprisonment and can exceed double digits. Irrespective of the crime charged, remember that it is critical to protect the record and mitigate legally, factually or through some other means your conduct as to limit your exposure to immigration consequences.
The following are crimes that should you be investigated, arrested or indicted, you must take all necessary precautions:
- Misdemeanor Third Degree Assault: New York Penal Law 120.00
- Felony Second Degree Assault: New York Penal Law 120.05
- Misdemeanor Second Degree Menacing: New York Penal Law 120.14
- Misdemeanor Second Degree Reckless Endangerment: New York Penal Law 120.20
- Misdemeanor Fourth Degree Stalking: New York Penal Law 120.45
- Misdemeanor Third Degree Stalking: New York Penal Law 120.50
- Misdemeanor Criminal Obstruction of Breathing or Blood Circulation: New York Penal Law 121.11
- Felony Second Degree Strangulation: New York Penal Law 121.12
- Misdemeanor Second Degree Unlawful Imprisonment: New York Penal Law 135.05
- Felony Second Degree Kidnapping: New York Penal Law 135.20
- Misdemeanor Second Degree Contempt: New York Penal Law 215.50
- Misdemeanor First Degree Harassment: New York Penal Law 240.25
- Misdemeanor Second Degree Aggravated Harassment: New York Penal Law 240.30
- Misdemeanor Endangering the Welfare of a Child: New York Penal Law 260.10
- New York Domestic Violence Crimes, Process and Defense
Merely a snapshot into potential crimes that can have permanent implications to your immigration status, the above list is not an exclusive one. Each crime and applicable subsection (where relevant) must be examined. Remember, even if your crime is ultimately not deemed one involving children there may be other grounds immigration authorities may hang their hat. Because an offense may fall into one category, for example a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude or an Aggravated Felony, does not mean it cannot be deemed another. As such, it is critical to not only review a random website or, for that matter, believe you know how to navigate the law and only examine one particular section of criminal offenses and its correlating immigration consequence. Instead, you must consult with your own criminal defense attorney and potentially an immigration lawyer so you can best protect your ability to maintain your career, livelihood, schooling. Alternatively, don’t do so, but you will have nowhere to turn when your ability to freely and legally remain in the United States is compromised.
Take the steps to protect yourself. Let the New York criminal lawyers and former Manhattan prosecutors at Crotty Saland PC use their experience, knowledge and advocacy to secure your strongest and best defense.
Call the New York criminal lawyers and former New York City prosecutors at (212) 312-7129 or contact us online today.

True to the motto “be together, not the same”, every smartphone manufacturer overlays its own adjustments to the Android operating system. We took a closer look at the typical differences and are putting together a UI comparison of smartphones that have been released so far in 2017.
The most popular Android smartphone manufacturer still relies on its tried-and-true TouchWiz. It exclusively offers Bixby, an AI assistant aimed at competing with Siri, Alexa and the Google Assistant.
Samsung equips its top devices with the Game Launcher, although some models of the A-series now sport it, too. It records games, suppresses incoming notifications and background services while you’re playing, and ensures an immersive player experience. Modes for greater performance and battery-saving modes give you greater control over performance, mainly on higher-end Samsung devices.
Security updates released on time practically every month currently make Samsung smartphones among the most secure on the market.
Huawei has incorporated the long-missing app drawer in its launcher’s portfolio. Leica-branded models offer comprehensive profile modes in the camera app to give your photos a unique character.
Huawei uses machine learning-supported memory optimization under the hood. Based on your behavior, the most frequently used apps are kept ready for quick access. This makes the smartphone just as snappy as when you first started using it, even after several months of use.
Huawei also provides updates, but not as frequently as Samsung. It mainly provides new features or refinement to the existing range of functions.
The user interface on the HTC U11 is spruced up with squeeze gestures and Sense Companion. The former offers two freely-selectable squeeze gestures. Squeezing the device in your hand starts an app or activates a function. In contrast, Sense Companion is an AI assistant that learns from you over time and helps you use your device, although its learning phase is so long that, even after several weeks of use, the first test devices did not show if it was really worth its salt.
HTC provides swift updates and new software versions. Sometimes it is so fast that updates must be postponed for troubleshooting. But, it ensures a continuously improving user experience, especially for the top models. HTC uses many apps and functions from Google and vanilla Android instead of its own developments, leaving more storage space free for you.
Even LG looks delightfully slim and mostly foregoes its own add-ons that would not already be present by Google or Android standards. The dual-screen mode was slightly optimized so that display errors due to incompatible apps are reduced. An app recycling bin keeps apps on your smartphone for 24 hours after being uninstalled before storage space is permanently freed up.
LG is not particularly quick with updates. The manufacturer is notably slow with large version changes and is one of the last ones to provide the upgrade.
Google Pixel UI with Android O (Beta)
There is no such thing as stock Android anymore. Google gives its Pixel smartphones features that are not available for Nexus devices with the same software version. Its peculiarities: Google Assistant for search, help and smart home control. Pixel owners also have unlimited storage for high-resolution photos in Google Photos.
As a general rule, the pure Google experience and the quickest software updates will give you the purest Android that you can get for your money. The video above is with the Android O Beta, but Android 8.0 Oreo has since been released.
Sony Xperia UI
Sony delivers an Android variant whose interface does not stray too far from the original. Only the start screens, app drawer and keyboard are visibly different. Despite a number of comparable improvements to the core Android system, Stamina mode for extending battery life is still around. Furthermore, Sony offers an assistant for freeing up internal memory.
Sony currently manages to provide timely software updates for its top devices. Unfortunately, the camera app is unclear and fractured. Moreover, its faulty image processing delivers results don't live up to the expectations of the camera hardware, which is actually good.
Some manufacturers provide true added value to the user through their interpretations of Android. Samsung has invented an exciting solution for gamers with Game Mode. Huawei’s background optimizations actually work, even if they are not immediately apparent. Google Photos’ free storage with automatic storage optimization ensures that your storage will never be full due to photos.
Other manufacturers such as Sony or HTC provide extras whose benefits are not apparent to everyone. These manufacturers ought to stand out by providing good and consistent software updates, since this continues to be a point of criticism and an often-underappreciated added value for us users, since our smartphones not only move our personal data but are also becoming the center of our increasingly connected life.

The film Sufna starring Ammy Virk, Tania, and Jagjeet Sandhu in lead roles got hit the big screens on 14th February 2020. The film was directed by Jagdeep Sidhu. The film was produced by Navneet Virk, Gurpreet Singh under Panj Paani Films banner.
B Praak composed the background score and songs for the film, Vineet Malhotra handled the cinematography and the film was edited by Manish More. The romantic drama film is about two people who meet and fall in love with each other.
The film Showcases innocence of romance between the lead pair. The couple doesn’t even know what valentines mean and they don’t even know how to celebrate it. The film is very light and can touch your soul emotionally.
The makers of the film released the trailer of the film on 30th January 2020. The trailer got a positive response with around 6.4 Million digital views. The film is of the same genre as Qismat which was the debut film for the director Jagdeep Sidhu.
The film Sufna got leaked online by various pirates on the first day of its release. Now, this factor can dangerously affect the collections of the film. The makers of the film are now troubled with this piracy.
These days, each and every film will get leaked in its first weekend itself. Also, many people are interested to watch films by downloading through pirated sites like TamilMv, Movierulz, etc. We should realize that Piracy is an offense and Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, It is a punishable act by law.

Prime Minister Hun Sen rejected the possibility of negotiating with the former CNRP yesterday, maintaining that jailed opposition figures Kem Sokha and Um Sam An will not be pardoned, and that there would “be no second Paris peace agreement”.
Sokha, president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, was arrested on widely decried charges of “treason” in September. Two months later, the CNRP – the nation’s only viable opposition party – was forced to disband at the government’s behest and 118 of its senior members were banned from politics for five years. Many fled the country fearing arrest, and party members who remained reported increased surveillance and pressure to defect to the ruling party.
The premier yesterday claimed an unnamed member of the 118 had messaged him “respectfully”, calling him “uncle” and requesting that they be allowed to re-enter the political arena.
“For the people whose political rights have been suspended, there is no law to hand back the right,” Hun Sen said, adding “this is the result of national betrayal, and this is the last message”.
In fact, there also appears to be no law permitting the 118 to be suspended in the first place. Though hasty amendments to the country’s Political Parties Law – rammed through by Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party last year – empowered the Supreme Court to forcibly disband or suspend parties at the request of the Ministry of Interior, they did not account for the suspension of specific individuals.
Sokha’s arrest, meanwhile, has spurred near-universal international condemnation and repeated calls for his unconditional release. However, Hun Sen yesterday said jailed opposition figures should not expect pardons.
“Now citizens don’t think who is in jail, who is outside the country or which party is dissolved,” he said. “And for those who are already in jail, don’t expect to get pardon from Hun Sen for the third time.”
Sokha has been pardoned twice before – once after being jailed while serving as the director of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, and again while deputy president of the CNRP.
CNRP lawmaker Um Sam An was arrested in 2016 for “incitement” after sharing controversial Facebook posts criticising the government for allegedly ceding land to Vietnam. Opposition Senator Hong Sok Hour was arrested on similar grounds in 2015, but released last year after apologising. Yesterday Hun Sen said Sam Un would not receive similar treatment.
“You cannot get loose because you already admitted [guilt],” he said.
The premier claimed a letter requesting a pardon for Sam An was sent by both individual representatives and an unnamed “ambassador”. Sam An is a dual Cambodian-American citizen. The US Embassy did not reply to requests for comment.
“You admitted your mistake, and you said the border problem is your mistake,” Hun Sen said.
In past cycles of political tension, the ruling party has proven amenable to pardoning opposition members embroiled in politically tinged court cases. Besides Sokha’s previous pardons, former opposition leader Sam Rainsy was also pardoned in 2013, allowing him to return from self-imposed exile just prior to that year’s national election.
His arrival, however, appeared to backfire for the ruling party, with the CNRP utilising Rainsy’s long-standing popularity to galvanise support and capture some 44 percent of the vote, more than any opposition party since the country’s first democratic elections in 1993.
According to Paul Chambers, an expert on Southeast Asia at Thailand’s Naresuan University, Hun Sen appears determined not to make the same mistake again.
“By his speeches and his actions, Hun Sen is letting Cambodians and the world know that Cambodia has become his personalised fief.
All opponents will be buried,” he said.
Rainsy’s political rebirth was indeed short-lived. The CNRP boycotted parliament for a year over alleged election irregularities, and shortly after it entered the National Assembly, an old conviction – previously believed to have been overturned by the pardon – was resurrected while Rainsy was on a trip abroad. He chose to re-enter self-imposed exile, and was later forced to leave the party he helped found by new legal amendments.
On Sunday, Rainsy said he was open to negotiating with Hun Sen, but the premier also shot down that possibility yesterday.
“You failed and now you come and ask me for negotiations? You committed horrible things and insulted me, and you also called for the military to point the gun at its own government,” he said.
“You said that Hun Sen is isolated and Hun Sen faces protests inside the party, from the people and the army . . . I have no value to negotiate with you.”
Hun Sen also accused Rainsy of “adding the gasoline to the fire” of recent protests in Australia, during which Cambodian-Australians burned effigies of the premier.
“There will be no second Paris peace agreement . . . I do not talk with prisoners and traitors, and don’t ask repeatedly like a ghost asking for rice,” he said.
He further added that he would not be open to negotiating with the opposition via an international mediator.

Oil Change: Standard Synthetic, And Diesel
Expert technicians agree that the oil change is the single most important maintenance service your vehicle can receive.
How often should I change my vehicle's oil?
Oil change recommendations vary based on driving conditions, year, make and model of vehicle, and in some instances type of oil used. Changing your vehicle's motor oil according to the manufacturer's schedule and your type of driving conditions is critical for long engine component life.
Oil changes are also necessary to maintain your vehicle's new or extended warranty. Keep in mind that a manufacturer's recommended mileage interval is based on "normal driving". Vehicles driven in more severe conditions - short trips (under 4 miles), lots of stop and go, and city driving - should have the oil replaced more frequently and based on the manufacturer's severe driving schedule.
Our service professionals have access to your vehicle's manufacturer information and can help you determine the best interval to meet all requirements.
What does an Oil Change include:
- Up to 5 quarts of major brand oil
- New oil filter
- Lubrication of the various fittings on your vehicle's undercarriage when applicable
- Vehicle maintenance inspection

Well it’s that time of year again when all the photography bloggers (like me), and the magazine writers, and even the TV network weather persons start to talk about fall color. It’s no different for this blogger. Every year we talk about getting those fall colors, but how many of you actually get out there and shoot the colorful leaves. It is nice to read the articles, but believe me it is better to be out there with a camera even if it is only your phone. The first image below is called “Autumn in New Jersey.”
I think it certainly conveys the spirit of the autumn season. In the second image below, I used the leaves on the rocks and in the water to show the fall season. It is called “Fall in Hacklebarney.”
The first two images show muted fall colors but in the third image below called “Fall, Mt. Greylock” the colors are much more brilliant and evoke a real taste of autumn.
The last photograph is also from the Berkshires, a great place to get fall colors. It is called “Berkshire’s Colors.”
So don’t just read the articles, get out there and capture the beautiful autumn feeling in your photographs. I know you will be happy with what you get. I’ll be traveling up to the Berkshires again in a couple of weeks and I hope to get some beautiful images of fall. See you there and remember “Keep Shooting.”

Rebel Wilson has taken to Twitter to apologise after she claimed to be the first ever plus-sized woman to lead a romantic comedy.
The Australian actress stars in the upcoming meta rom-com Isn't It Romantic, in which her leading character, Natalie, becomes trapped in a romantic comedy.
While talking about the film on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Wilson sparked controversy when she said: "I'm proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy."
Commentators took to Twitter to point out that actresses such as Mo-Nique and Queen Latifah have paved the way before her, but Wilson refused to be corrected, questioning whether "technically those actresses were plus size".
Hey girl! Yeah I of course know of these movies but it was questionable as to whether: 1. Technically those actresses were plus size when filming those movies or 2. Technically those films are catorgorized/billed as a studio rom-com with a sole lead. So there’s a slight grey area— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 1, 2018
Monique subsequently tweeted Wilson, asking her not to allow this business "to erase our talent with giving grey areas and technicalities" and urged her to "take a moment and know the history".
Hi Monique, it was never my intention to erase anyone else’s achievements and I adore you and Queen Latifah so so much x I support all plus size ladies and everything positive we are doing together ❤️— Rebel Wilson (@RebelWilson) November 3, 2018
On Tuesday, Wilson backtracked on her comments, writing: "In a couple of well-intentioned moments, hoping to lift my fellow plus-sized women up, I neglected to show the proper respect to those who climbed this mountain before me like Mo'Nique, Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, Ricki Lake and likely many others."
She continued: "With the help of some very compassionate and well-thought out responses from others on social media, I now realize what I said was not only wrong but also incredibly hurtful. To be part of a problem I was hoping I was helping makes it that much more embarrassing & hard to acknowledge."

The Pitch Perfect star went on to apologise for blocking people on Twitter who criticised her original comments.
"I blocked people on Twitter because I was hurting from the criticism, but those are the people I actually need to hear from more, not less. Again, I am deeply sorry," she wrote.
Isn't It Romantic, in which Wilson stars alongside Liam Hemsworth, is scheduled for release on Valentine's Day next year.
