Q: What kind of creature was the "God" in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier? In Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, the Enterprise goes to a planet where they find a creature that claims to be God. What kind of creature was that? Does that species show up in any other Star Trek show? Is it related to the Cytherian that appears in the Star Trek TNG episode, The Nth Degree? A: Canonically we know only what was shown during the course of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and nothing more. The being in question was a powerful entity capable of manipulating and deceiving others, but no other information about its origins are shown. There is no indication that it is directly related to any of the other "god-like" beings encountered over the course of the subsequent series. Non-canonically, according to the novel Q-strike by Greg Cox, the entity in question was a being known as "The One" and was brought into the universe by Q and one of his associates, along with Gorgan and the Beta XII-A Entity. The Q continuum banished The One beyond the galactic barrier after the creature committed various atrocities.

Jim's Dan's St. Bernard Flake Review. The Virginias are grassy with a bit of bold earthiness. The sweetness is citrus, and tangy dried fruit. The perique is strong, offering some plum and raisin with a sharp spiciness in every puff. There's a prevalent musty, leathery, bitter quality that, depending on your personal preferences, either clash with or compliment the sweet and sour flavor. Despite all of that, you'll notice a creaminess from the topping that keeps this from becoming harsh, though I suspect a pinch or two of dark cavendish is present. In many ways, it's a bolder, sweeter, spicier version of Dunhill Navy Rolls with some different flavor hits. Burns slow and requires some relights. Made for an experienced smoker. Thanks for the thorough review! This one sounds like one I'd enjoy so I'll order up a tin if I can find a source. It doesn't look like SP.com stocks this one. I'll look forward to trying this Jim, based on your review. Might have to go to Dan Pipe in the GR to get it though! Agreed. Nice review Jim. I have never even heard of this Dan product until now. Sounds right up my alley.

A new interface for AC .2 actuator controls is now available, allowing AUMA actuators to be integrated into PROFINET networks, a second Ethernet-based networking option alongside Modbus TCP/IP. Meeting the requirements of PROFINET specification 2.3 and Conformance Class B, rates of up to 100Mbit/sec are possible and installation and commissioning simplified by featues such as its automatic address assignment. AUMA actuators with a PROFINET extension can be identified and addressed by device name or IP address from any point on the network. An integrated web server allows swift and easy performance of connection tests, status requests and fault diagnostics. All operation commands and feedback signals offered by the Profibus DP protocol are available to AC actuator controls thanks to the standardised device description. "We are seeing a trend in process automation towards robust and versatile Industrial Ethernet standards, combining the advantages and functions of fieldbus protocols with the speed and proven design of Ethernet-based technologies", says Werner Laengin, Senior Product Manager at AUMA.

Japan's unemployment rate fell to a 25-year-low of 2.7 percent at the end of last year. That's not far from the record low of 2.2 percent during the country's economic boom. But there is a dark side to the seemingly good news. The low jobless rate largely reflects the labor shortage in Japan due to a continued decline in the birth rate and the aging of its population. There were 941,000 babies born last year in Japan, 36,000 less than in 2016. That's a fresh record low. Since about 1.3 million people died during the period, the population actually shrank by about 400,000. In the 1980s, the labor force represented 70 percent of the population. It's now down to below 60percent, and is expected to decline further to 50 percent by 2050. That means nearly 40 percent of the total population will be above 65 by then. A lot of vacancies in labor-intensive jobs such as elderly care, cleaning, construction, frontline services, construction, etc. are waiting to be filled. Meanwhile, the economy is still unable to find a new growth engine, similar to the automobile industry in the 1980s or the home appliances industry in the 1990s. The young generation can find jobs to make ends meet, but often without clear career prospects. Large Japanese corporates only offered a pay rise of 0.3 percent last year. Unable to see a bright future, many young Japanese avoid or delay marriage and having babies. This only exacerbates the problems of a shrinking labor force and an aging population. A vicious cycle, indeed.

James initially claimed that Judy had hurt herself falling while putting up Christmas decorations and then was killed in the crash that happened as he tried to get her to the hospital. The indictment says Baldwin "inflicted or caused to be inflicted blunt force trauma" to his wife's head, causing her death. Family members had pushed for the case to be investigated since Judy was killed. Judy's sister said, "It's sad that my sister's life ended in pain." From Judy's obituary, she was the owner and operator of Judy's Personal Touch, a member of Woodward Baptist Church, a member of the church's Women's Missionary Union, and member and secretary of the Carolina Thunder Christian Motorcycle Club. James Baldwin had also formerly been a police officer at the Columbia Police Department and a police dispatcher for the Chester County Sheriff's Office. Since Judy's death James Baldwin is also accused of burning down a roommate's trailer in York County, then trying to defraud the insurance company after the fire. Those charges are also still pending.

She's gone and can't say a word. What we know comes from 2 different Marion Correctional Institution supervisors who were both supposedly having a relationship with her and who both had much to lose - married Assistant Warden Gustavo Mazorra and married Sgt. George Sherrets. Charlotte's body was found on the floor of her home and she is said to have overdosed on antidepressants but no reference to testing was reported in the news so we don't know if it was assumed because of an open pill bottle or something of that nature. Charlotte is an officer and deserved a full outside investigation. WARDEN'S PAST INCLUDES AFFAIR WITH SUBORDINATE [Excerpts] ...Nicketta Webb sees the [Marion Correctional Institution] prison every time she pulls out of the driveway of her small ranch across the street. It remains a raw reminder of her daughter. "He knew better," she said. "He's the assistant warden. He's held to a higher standard." Five years ago her daughter, Charlotte, was an entry-level corrections officer carrying on a dangerous affair with the prison's second-in-command [assistant warden, Gustavo Mazorra]. It was one of several reckless decisions Charlotte made in the months before she [allegedly] took her own life. The assistant warden was transferred but never disciplined for the inappropriate relationship. He escaped sanction, and this spring earned the promotion of his career: He became the warden at the Zephyrhills Correctional Institution... Mazorra declined to discuss his affair with Charlotte Webb and the events of five years ago. "I made a stupid mistake"... Mazorra was shuttled 50 miles away to Lancaster Correctional Institution in Trenton, where he took a "voluntary demotion" to colonel... But the incident was never treated as a disciplinary matter. There was no internal investigation. No reprimand. No letter of counseling in Mazorra's file. No suggestion of any missteps in the evaluation that followed seven months later, when Mazorra received a perfect 5 in the leadership category that covers professionalism with subordinates... The only critical memo in Mazorra's file was dated Feb. 4, 2000, when he allowed the postage machine to run out at a Miami-Dade prison, delaying the delivery of outgoing mail. "Behavior of this type cannot be, and will not be, tolerated," the memo said... [T]he affair wasn't treated as a disciplinary matter because no policy had been violated. Nothing in the prison code of conduct, and nothing in the rules governing state employees, bars a supervisor from dating a subordinate... At the same time, Charlotte was involved with another married superior at the prison [Sgt. George Sherrets Jr.], one of the sergeants on her midnight shift... [He] came clean with investigators and his bosses after her death. He acknowledged using drugs with her. He was promptly fired. But Nicketta believes the "good ol' boy" system took care of Mazorra... Nicketta, 63, remains haunted by her daughter's death. Charlotte's son, Jeff Lovelady, can't accept it. He was 15 then. He talked to her by phone a few hours before she died. He was visiting his father in a Georgia hospital, and his mother promised to come pick him up in a few days. Promised — a word used sparingly in this family for commitments that came from the heart. "It's always puzzled me," said Lovelady, choking back the tears.. A few years ago, still burning with questions, he went to the Marion County Sheriff's Office to request a copy of his mother's death investigation. The clerk asked why. He explained he was Charlotte's son. He took comfort in her response: "She said that's one case nobody will ever forget."

Officer Blymier is charged with simple assault and harassment, out of jail, and on administrative leavee with pay. His wife was given a 1st temporary protective order. She says she filed for divorce May 1st and since then things have been escalating and that she's scared. "Ritchie is very controlling, he is an officer, has access to weapons and has about 8 cameras inside and outside of our home watching everything we do." She asked for a protection order that would require Blymier to relinquish his weapons and ammo but it sounds like Common Pleas Judge Kathleen J. Prendergast approved a temporary order prohibiting him to post about his wife online or use any surveilance devices to track her. May 31st is when the final protective hearing happens.

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is required to keep two electronic databases that detail officer-involved domestic violence incidents and protection-from-abuse orders, according to a policy passed into city law in 2007 as part of a wider reform of the bureau's reporting system. But following inquiries from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in the wake of a recent case involving an officer charged in a domestic dispute, city officials said Wednesday that no such databases exist. Mayor Bill Peduto on Monday ordered the police department to create the electronic databases by the end of the week... In a response to an open-records request and appeal filed with the state Office of Open Records by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Deputy Chief Thomas Stangrecki said in a letter dated Wednesday that he could not find any electronic databases and could locate only a printed Excel file that was last updated in 2014...

Woodstock 50 Concert Ticket On-Sale Postponed World's Most Popular Websites [Infographic] Stunning Warner Music Defeat vs Madonna 'Vogue' Co-Writer A Manhattan federal appeals court has found that Warner Music Group is guilty of wrongfully withholding royalties from the co-writer behind Madonna's hit song "Vogue." Two years ago, Robert 'Shep' Pettibone filed a lawsuit against the label claiming that both WMG and publishing division Warner/Chappell "withheld and failed to pay" royalties owed to him from the 1990 hit, despite demands and a notice of breach. The money was seemingly being held back in order to recoup legal fees spent on a separate legal battle over a sample in Madonna's "Vogue," which Pettibone produced. At the time Pettibone and Madonna were accused by US company VMG Salsoul of illegally using a brief sample of a 1970s recording called "Love Break" on "Vogue." Though Pettibone and Madonna won the sample case back in 2016, the appeals court overturned the lower court's decision to make VMG Salsoul pay the other side's legal fees. With Warner having paid for the lawyers, Pettibone filed his own lawsuit claiming the company was attempting to claw back hundreds of thousands of dollars from his royalties. Deductions, he alleged, were not permitted under his contracts with the major. Though Warner argued that it was entitled to deduct royalties in this manner due to an indemnification agreement with Pettibone, yesterday (April 18) US Court of Appeals Circuit Judges Barrington D. Parker and Peter W. Hall ruled in favor of the writer and producer. While former Manhattan U.S. District Judge Richard J. Sullivan had sided with WMG, ruling that the indemnification agreement granted the label group the right to withhold royalties, Parker and Hall ruled to overturn the decision stating that the contract's language was "tortured," "garbled," and "ambiguous," even hinting that Judge Sullivan may have forced Pettibone to pay "enormous" legal fees just to defend his rights on Madonna's "Vogue." Following the stunning win, Pettibone will no longer be forced to pay Warner Music Group's legal fees, which are reportedly in the ballpark of $1 million. photo: chrisweger [CC BY-SA 2.0], via Wikimedia Commons - CelebrityAccess Bruce Houghton on 04/22/2019 in Major Labels, Music Business, Publishing & Songwriting | Permalink | Comments (1) Tags: Madonna, music, music business, musician, musicians, WMG

UNRWA Celebrates World Teachers' Day الأونروا تحتفل باليوم العالمي للمعلم On 6 October, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) hosted an event at the Amman Training Centre in honour of World Teachers' Day. More than 150 people, including UNRWA staff members as well as Agency partners, gathered to celebrate the role of UNRWA teachers in providing quality education to Palestine refugees, even in times of emergency. Events were held throughout the Agency's five fields of operations. The UNRWA school system is one of the largest in the Middle East, with over 700 schools and 22,000 educational staff providing a high-quality, free-of-charge basic education to some 500,000 young Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The global theme for World Teachers' Day 2013 was 'A call for teachers!' At the ceremony in Amman, UNRWA Deputy Commissioner-General Margot Ellis used the opportunity to highlight the crucial role of UNRWA teachers in educating Palestine refugee children. Anna Segall, Acting Director of UNRWA Operations in Jordan, also stressed the importance of high-quality teaching, as well as continued learning, self-improvement and development for teachers themselves, to build their capacity, and, through them, that of the Agency's education system. Professor Jihad Hamdan, Chief of the UNRWA education programme in Jordan, said that teachers were change agents. "They contribute to shaping the minds and the future of our children. Our objective is to empower UNRWA teachers through innovative programmes helping them make the huge difference we expect in our schools," he said. Professor Hamdan added that "without well-trained, open-minded and dedicated teachers, quality education will remain a dream and a slogan for many years to come." UNRWA Director of Education Dr Caroline Pontefract discussed the Agency's education reform, launched in 2011, and its many achievements. "Our teachers are our most important resource," she noted. "Through this reform, we have worked hard to support them with innovative teacher training programmes and an Agency-wide Teacher Policy, which provides greater opportunities for career progression and enhanced professionalism." At the Amman Training Centre, a collection of World Teachers' Day posters provided a visual celebration of UNRWA teachers and their work, and an awards ceremony for teachers was also held. Attendees were also able to take a closer look at some of the reform programme's tangible products, including teacher-training packages for School-Based Teacher Development and teacher toolkits for initiatives including Leading for the Future, Inclusive Education and Human Rights, Conflict Resolution and Tolerance. Folklore and music performances by Palestine refugee students provided a fitting finale to the event. World Teachers' Day was inaugurated on 5 October 1994 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to commemorate the signing, in 1966, of the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation on the Status of Teachers. The day aims to celebrate teachers and their central role in guiding children, young people and adults through the lifelong learning process. UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to provide assistance and protection to a population of some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and the Gaza Strip to achieve their full potential in human development, pending a just solution to their plight. UNRWA's services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, and microfinance. Financial support to UNRWA has not kept pace with an increased demand for services caused by growing numbers of registered refugees, expanding need, and deepening poverty. As a result, the Agency's General Fund (GF), supporting UNRWA's core activities and 97 per cent reliant on voluntary contributions, has begun each year with a large projected deficit. Currently the deficit stands at US$ 54.3 million. Christopher Gunness UNRWA Spokesperson c.gunness@unrwa.org Sami Mshasha UNRWA Arabic Spokesperson s.mshasha@unrwa.org

By the numbers: Mustang vs. Camaro When you have access to a truckload of information about classic cars and their owners, it seems silly not to use it. So we did. Before you ask, yes, we considered doing a state-by-state comparison of Mustang and Corvette ownership but went with Mustang vs. Camaro instead. Why? A Mustang-Corvette story would be pretty short—and likely not all that interesting. Nationally, more Hagerty customers own Corvettes than Mustangs, and most states lean the same. Yawn to that, hooray to Mustang-Camaro. Our Senior Data Analyst John Wiley created a color-coded map to illustrate which car is more popular by state, the 1964 1/2–66 Mustang or 1967-69 Camaro. He took a deep dive into other data, as well. It's much like the Electoral College maps we see on television during the presidential election, although less likely to cause family strife when discussed at the dinner table. Some observations about the first-generation Mustang vs. Camaro map: Overall the numbers are practically equal; in the U.S., Hagerty insures about 32,000 of each first-generation car. State by state, Camaros carry 30 states, Mustangs 20. In every state, Camaros are more valuable—on average—than Mustangs. Using Hagerty Guaranteed Value for each insured vehicle, the average Camaro is valued at $35,720, while the average Mustang carries a value of $22,449. Mustangs are not necessarily a Baby Boomer car. "I thought states with more Baby Boomers would explain the states with more Mustangs, but that isn't the case," Wiley says. "Only 35 percent of the states (7) where Mustangs are more numerous have more Baby Boomers. In fact, more often Millennials are more numerous in the Mustang states." Of the 13 states in which Baby Boomers are more numerous, Mustang carried seven states and Camaro six. Utah is a big Camaro state. Camaros out number Mustangs by about 20%. Minnesota is a big Mustang state. Mustangs out number Camaros by 10%. Bonus: As if that isn't enough to chew on already, Wiley also compared Cadillac and Lincoln ownership. Hagerty insures over twice as many Cadillacs as Lincolns, but in 23 states (and D.C.), the rarer Lincolns are more valuable. In general, the average value (Hagerty Guaranteed Value) is amazingly close: $24,263 for Cadillac, $23,251 for Lincoln. On average, Cadillacs are a lot more valuable in Tennessee—$55,000 compared to $24,000 for Lincolns. In nearby Kentucky, the gap is smaller but the numbers are reversed—$33,000 average value for Lincoln, $23,000 for Cadillac. Hagerty insures twice as many Cadillacs as Lincolns, but on average the Lincolns are worth more. Hagerty Now wasn't that a lot more fun than talking politics?

Sacha Baron Cohen attends the 2013 BAFTA LA Jaguar Britannia Awards presented by BBC America at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on November 9, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California. Will Sacha Baron Cohen Star As Freddie Mercury In A Queen Movie? by Chelsea ReganMarch 29, 2015, 7:37 pmMarch 29, 2015, 7:37 pmMarch 29, 2015, 7:37 pmNews > Sacha Baron Cohen, who was previously attached to a Freddie Mercury biopic, seemed to be back onboard with project – until the news was refuted by Queen guitarist Brian May. Sacha Baron Cohen In Queen Movie? Queen manager Jim Beach was giving a speech at the Artist & Management Awards in London when he suggested that Cohen would write, direct, produce and star in the biopic about the late Queen frontman. "You have probably followed the saga of the famous Queen-Freddie Mercury biopic which has been developing in Hollywood for the last seven years," Beach said. "An important breakthrough is that we have now managed to persuade Sacha Baron Cohen to write, produce and direct this movie — and he has also agreed to star." However, May took to his personal website following the awards ceremony to claim that Beach had made the comments about Cohen in jest. "[Jim] said that, in response to enquiries about the progress on the Freddie feature film, that Sacha Baron Cohen had been re-engaged to write, produce, and direct the film, as well as starring in all four major roles! I'm afraid some folks might have taken it seriously!" May wrote. Back in 2013, May and Roger Taylor came out against Cohen's casting as Mercury and the Borat actor's vision of a grittier portrayal of the singer and the band's past. The two wanted a more family-friendly take on Mercury's story and felt that Cohen and his past roles would be a distraction to moviegoers. "In the end, we felt that his presence in the movie would be very distracting. What led us to that conclusion was the last three movies that he's made — The Dictator, Les Miserables and Hugo," May told the Daily Mail. "And we thought there has to be no distraction in the Freddie movie — we didn't think that could really happen with Sacha."

Security threats are changing from simple viruses to more sophisticated intrusions not detectable by conventional anti-virus products, says Andy Harris, chief technologist at UK company Baltimore Technologies. Steganography – the encoding of confidential information into an innocent-looking outbound document or image – is on the increase and has to be detected by a security screen that goes beyond simple virus detection. Espionage could be practiced from outside, too. "I could write a Visual Basic Script into a Word document to persuade your email client to send me data," says Harris. "It's called 'cyber-woozling' and it's not apparent to AV tools. Our products will strip out any macros and just give you the document." Harris says he has been "inspired" by the novel uses to which New Zealand customers have been putting the company's security products, like MailSweeper and SecretSweeper. "They're cleverer than I am," he says. "They've been asking me about corners of the products I've never been asked about before. Customers here do arrogant things with the products." For example, they are thinking beyond simply an anti-intrusion function to using the screening software to identify the content of the incoming message and put it in its correct place in an archive. "They're heavily into PKI [public key infrastructure] here and in Australia," he says. "PKI projects like that of the Australian Tax Office are real projects, not just one pilot after another," which is the state of the play in allegedly more "advanced" countries. Use of the information in the message to add value for the business is the direction in which "security" measures are heading, he says. Mention of a country and the company name and a few other key terms will indicate to the screening software, for example, that the message is probably an inquiry as to how to contact the company in that country. The email system can send out an automatic reply to that part of the message, while passing on the rest. "Even simply archiving the message [in the right place] is adding value to it," he says. A web-crawling robot is no longer flagged as an intruder. The security software can help it with the correct address of the web page people should be visiting, rather than leaving the robot to find a page that may be deep in the structure of the site and confusing for the user of a search engine. Harris was one of the founders of Content Technologies, the British-based company taken over last year by Irish firm Baltimore.

'The 100': Marie Avgeropoulos on Octavia's New Plan & When We'll See Bellamy Again Damian Holbrook May 27, 2020, 9:00 pm Colin Bentley/The CW [WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for The 100 Season 7, Episode 2, "The Garden." If you haven't seen it yet, you might wanna hop into the Anomaly and come back later.] Many questions came out of last week's final-season premiere of The 100, including concerns regarding the whereabouts of both Octavia Blake (Marie Avgeropoulos) and her brother Bellamy (Bob Morley). The first vanished into the ether after the suddenly adult daughter of the pregnant Diyoza (Ivana Milicevic) appeared from the future and stabbed her, while the latter was seemingly consumed by the Anomaly that exists in the woods outside of Sanctum. This week, we got some answers as the episode entitled "The Garden" planted us on a new planet where Octavia finds herself stranded with a now in-labor Diyoza and a ton of reasons to want to get back home. But since time and space have gone all sorts of wonky, fans saw more than just their early days on Skyring. In fact, the hour spanned so much of their lives together that we just had to talk to Avgeropoulos about Octavia's emotional growth, the emergence of her softer side, and what she learned about her own rebellious youth from Diyoza's daughter. (Also, truth be told, we wanted to chat with her because she's cool AF.) Hey Marie, how's it going? Marie Avgeropoulos: Oh, God. It's going. [Laughs] I think if there's no such thing as show business after this crisis calms down, I'll be able to open my own landscaping company. That's all I've been doing... gardening for the first time in my life. I ripped the lawn out the other day because I wanted to make it a fun shape with a rock garden and... 9 Characters Who Could Return in 'The 100' Season 7 Now we know the anomaly causes hallucinations — and former stars of the show to reappear. Who might be next? Yeah, I'm feeling retired. [Laughs] That is absolutely fitting, considering that this episode has you gardening. Wow. I didn't even think of that! Yeah, it is quite ironic how art does imitate life nowadays, doesn't it? It's pretty interesting. So I spoke to showrunner Jason Rothenberg last week and we were talking about how weird it is that the show about the end of the world as we knew it is coming to an end... just as the world as we have known it has ended. Absolutely. We finished shooting the 100th episode the day before the worldwide lockdown and we didn't really get to say goodbye to one another or have a wrap party or anything. It just abruptly came to an end and it felt like I shot a fake apocalypse for seven years and walked directly into a real-life one. I'm sure everyone can relate to that with wherever their careers were at the time and how much things have changed. But thank God for Zoom and FaceTime to connect with people... at least we don't have to write letters in the mail. The mail is also taking a while, too. Diyah Pera/The CW It also seems like Octavia is cleaner than she has ever been since the pilot in this episode. [Laughs] Yes. The audience will certainly discover how she did become so clean. I think it's the first time we'll ever see Octavia literally cleanse herself this new world, but also cleanse her hair. Her hair was probably getting pretty rank at this point. It must have been pretty nice for you to get to play this stuff where you actually have almost a domestic story. You and Ivana do form a small family unit. One of the most incredible things about playing Octavia Blake all these years is how she's constantly metamorphosing into all these different elements and versions of herself within her story and her personal growth. This season, it's interesting to see a more nurturing version of Octavia become a stepmom in a blended family, while being isolated on this brand new planet we come to know as Skyring. I think one of my favorite moments of this season was playing a midwife to Diyoza. It was also terrifying and I think the best version of real-life birth control for me, because it was scary. [Laughs] I was working with a real 13-day-old infant covered in KY jelly and jam to make it look as realistic as possible and I had to learn how to not drop this baby. I was terrified! Ranking Every Time Clarke Has Pulled a Lever on 'The 100' Forget Bellamy or Lexa — Clarke's true love is pulling levers in season finales. But it's really interesting to see Octavia be a part of this blended family, because I think during her isolation on Skyring, she really gets to understand Bellamy's choices when he was parenting her and she refused to listen. That really pushes and motivates her story to want to get off Skyring and reconnect with her brother and maybe give him all the apologies that he has so long deserved. She could finally say, "Hey, I get it. I get why you did that." But of course, in true 100 fashion, the biggest obstacle is "How do you get to another planet?" It's not like you can just jump in a car. [Laughs] Lot of folks on Twitter are very concerned about the absence of Bellamy. Can you tease how long we will wait before the Blake siblings are back together? The Blakes may or may not get together this season. But since that storyline is incredibly important, I think the answer is pretty obvious. And it'll be interesting to see after how much time has passed exactly what that means for their relationship and what enemies will potentially come forth. Because nothing ever comes easy on The 100. It always must be incredibly earned. Ultimately Octavia's goal right now is to find Bellamy, and Octavia is a very determined woman who doesn't let much stand in her way. So I'll leave you with that. And how was it for you going into this, knowing it was the final season, and also knowing that this is a show that will happily kill off major characters? [Laughs] Every day was a new exciting day. I would look forward to receiving scripts and flipping the page and figuring out, "Oh, is Octavia going to live to see another day?" But I will say that the series finale gives Octavia the ending that I think she ultimately deserves. Because the Anomaly's "transit system" aspect allows one to jump through time and space, I know that there's a possibility of seeing people from the past. Can you confirm or deny that we might see people that were important to Octavia returning? Confirmed. I just can't tell you who. Time travel, depending on where you are and which planet, plays a very interesting role this season. Time travel almost plays its own character in the show. So anything is possible and it's possible to potentially see some that have maybe passed. For you personally, if you could go to any other time, where would you go? Right now? I'd like to go anywhere other than my kitchen and my laundry room. If I could time travel, that would be great. [Laughs] 'The 100' Boss Jason Rothenberg Preps Us for the Countdown to the End 'I really wanted to sort of say something about humanity.' Excellent. You started this show with almost immediately injuring yourself during the pilot. Did you survive this final season without any kind of on-set mishaps? On-set mishaps? I feel like I was always sore leaving set. [Laughs] It's a testament to how hard I went on playing Octavia. I sacrificed my body over the years, but I'm really thankful that the writers wrote her as an innocent young "doesn't listen to authority" girl who, over the years, has developed into a warrior. It's been such a pleasure to use my athletic abilities to play her, to tell her story while having very intense, dramatic, dynamic moments as well. It's been awesome.

The Internet of Things or the 'Internet of a Thing or Two'? International investors looking to take advantage of China's vast telecoms market are faced with a multitude of regulatory restrictions. The opening up of telecommunications value-added services within the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone (CSPFTZ) is an important development for foreign companies. Although China's telecommunications markets are developing at a rapid pace, Dr Thomas Hart of the EU-China Policy-Dialogue Support Facility says that overall they are lagging behind developed nations. Cloud computing is becoming one of the hottest global IT topics.

Paul Walker did a great job. It's too bad the rest of the movie was absolutely terrible. I still don't understand how anyone thinks RZA should be in movies? He's terrible! So, very terrible! 2 star only because car chases and fight scenes hold your attention. Otherwise 1 star. Spoiler alert – it's a Hollywood version/remake of a French movie. It was great then and it's better now since it also stars Paul Walker. Love Parkour and David Belle is at his best. It honors Paul Walker because it's his last film, which should be enough reason to watch it – for him! R.I.P. Paul Walker is spectacular in this thriller, he deserved the martial arts black belt awarded after his tragic passing, thank you for your charitable support of the Filipino storm survivors. R.I.P. from Markham's apaulwalker.

So as I write I'm taking a walk, trying to work yesterday's mountain out of my bones. That was… something. An eye-opener. You can fool yourself into thinking you're a lot more fit than you really are. When you have to lie on the rocks every ten minutes just to get oxygen back into your brain, while boisterous schoolgirls, families with children, and sprightly old gentlemen in brown suits are ploughing on past, you eventually come to accept that you're not in peak condition. But is it so surprising, when up until a few years ago I was a heavy smoker, until a year ago this week I was a heavy drinker, and even now live an almost heroically sedentary lifestyle? That I am alive at all is really the puzzle here. But it is time to be nicer to my body. And there's no better way to start being nice to your body than with the meatgrinder of a six-hour trek up a pile of loose rubble. Or so my girlfriend believes. I don't know, she might be right. As I walk here – typing as I go, thanks to my curious phone – I begin to feel a lot better. The knots are coming out, and I have a sense of somatic integrity I haven't felt in a long time. You begin to understand the pilgrimage, and why it was so vital to go up such a difficult and dangerous hill. It reminds you to appreciate the little things in life. Standing. Breathing. Moving around. Being without pain. These are things I value much more today. I remember when Fernanda and I nearly killed you with a fast walk across town to catch a train in Krakow. That was nothing compared to this. I'd sooner do a forced march across Krakow any day. …there's about 12 jokes I can think of to make here, but they all involve the Holocaust. Just imagine the jokes we couldn't make when we were actually there.

Authorize.net now allows electronic cigarettes? As of the writing of this blog, industry sources are confirming Authorize.Net's terms no longer prohibit electronic cigarettes, hookah pens or similar previously prohibited categories. You heard that right; as of right now Authnet is no longer banning e-cig merchants from using their gateway. Previously all vaping related products were clearly and specifically placed on their prohibited activities list, along with online gun sales, weapons, etc. That entire section including the reference to guns, ammunition and other weapons no longer appears to be within their service agreement. Check it out for yourself, you can see their main terms, or visit their service agreement to learn more. The e-cig world is ever-changing, and with official word from regulators still on the horizon, it is sure to keep on changing. Here is a link to the FDA page on the subject, as you can see there is still a lot that is up in the air. If you are an eCommerce vaping related merchant and would like to talk payment gateways, please contact asap, we expect to be even busier… very very soon!

Dad and son drove teenager to South Shields car park to carry out 'revenge attack' South Shields man shouted 'ah cushty' as he was shot by police, hears inquest Jurors at an inquest into the death of a man who was shot by police have been played audio of him shouting "go for it" at firearms officers who had repeatedly told him to drop the gun he was carrying. Monday, 12th November 2018, 4:03 pm Updated Monday, 12th November 2018, 4:09 pm James Carlo Wilson, inset, and the scene of the 2016 shooting. James Carlo Wilson's father believed his son aimed to "go out in a blaze of glory" and wanted to be killed by a police marksman, the hearing in Newcastle was told. Mr Wilson junior, 24, called Northumbria Police to demand armed response officers come to see him and was still on the phone when he was hit by first a plastic bullet then five seconds later by a rifle round which hit him in the chest. Mr Wilson shouted "ah cushty" - slang for "great" - after the first round was fired. A loud bang was recorded on the open mobile phone line then the police officer who fired the second round called out "shots fired, first aid required". In the minutes before the confrontation, drunken Mr Wilson repeatedly asked the police call handler when the armed response officers were coming and made threats. When the call handler said "so you're not going to be peaceful", he replied "I'm going to shoot them" before swearing. Moments before the shot was fired, as officers told him "put it down", Mr Wilson shouted "Go for it, go, go, go." Outlining the case to the jury, Newcastle coroner Karen Dilks said an air pistol was recovered from the scene outside his former partner's home in Frenchman's Way, South Shields. Mr Wilson died in hospital on April 1, 2016, three days after he was shot. In a statement read to the inquest, his father, Carl Wilson, said: "I think he wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. That's why he did it the way he did. "I think he wanted the police to kill him and he used the police to commit suicide." James Wilson, who was on crown court bail at the time, and his close friend Sean McLellan had shared 48 bottles of beer on the Easter Monday, with the shooting happening in the early hours of the next day. At 12.57am Northumbria Police received an anonymous call, naming Mr Wilson as having a black 9mm gun and that he was in Frenchman's Way. The three-week inquest at the Mansion House heard that a traffic officer was sent to drive past the address in an unmarked car and saw someone holding a black object. At 1.15am there was a second call from the same number. Mrs Dilks said: "The caller, among other threats, said he would not put the gun down, he didn't care if anyone got hurt and he was going to shoot the officers who attended." Armed officers drove to the scene and parked around 30 metres away from Mr Wilson, with in-car video showing him pointing his weapon "several times" towards the officers, the coroner said. He did not put the gun down when he was told to, Mrs Dilks said, and he was shot with an "attenuated energy projectile" - a plastic bullet - before he was hit by the rifle round fired by another officer. Police attempted to carry out first aid at the scene and he was taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary where he died. Mr Wilson was outside the home of his ex-partner Kayleigh Reay and she told the inquest they split up after he had been self-harming. The jury heard there had been a previous cliff-top incident where he had to be saved by police. Mrs Dilks said the jury may consider, among other issues, whether Mr Wilson provoked the police "with a view to officers ending his life". Mr Wilson lived in South Shields with his mother Tracy Todd, who told the inquest she had never known her son to have a BB gun. She said: "James is not the type of person to have a firearm." Mr McLellan strongly disputed the theory that Mr Wilson wanted to go out in a "blaze for glory", adding that he hated his father and had rarely seen him. Mr McLellan said: "James worshipped Kayleigh, all he wanted was a family with (her). "There was a time up the cliffs when he was not in the right frame of mind. He never wanted to take his own life, never." The inquest continues.

Die Dorfkirche Heteborn ist die Kirche im Ort Heteborn der Gemeinde Selke-Aue in Sachsen-Anhalt. Die Kirche wurde 1715 erbaut. Geschichte Aus der Leuckfeldschen Chronik (1509) geht hervor, dass Papst Julius die Kirche in Heteborn erwähnte. Bereits vorher habe am selben Platz eine Kirche gestanden. Die Kirche wurde 1636 bei einem Brand und Plünderung des Ortes vollständig zerstört. Der Dompropst zu Halberstadt sagte 1714 einen Neubau zu, der bereits im folgenden Jahr vollendet wurde. Geldgeber waren dabei "die königliche Majestät, das herzoglich-magdeburgischen- und halberstädtischen Fürstenhause". Der ursprüngliche Altar, ein Geschenk der Neustädter Kirche zu Quedlinburg (heute Nikolaikirche) wurde jedoch anderweitig eingebaut, der Ursprung des Heteborner Altars ist nicht ganz geklärt. Die Weihe fand am Sonntag nach Trinitatis durch Pastor Lankfeld (Gröningen) statt. Der Kirchturm erhielt mehrmals neue Glocken: zunächst wurde 1715 eine Glocke einer anderen Kirche verwendet, 1741 und 1795 folgten daraufhin neu gegossene Glocken. 1829 wurde eine Glocke restauriert, die zweite kleinere Glocke musste im Ersten Weltkrieg abgegeben werden. Die verbliebene Glocke wurde 1927 durch eine neue ersetzt. Diese auch heute noch vorhandene Glocke trägt die Inschrift Du ließest spendend mich entstehen, dafür nun ruf ich Dich, ins ewige Leben einzugehen. Die Kirchturmuhr, welche 1844 nochmals restauriert wurde, wurde 1912 ersetzt. Für die Gottesdienste außerhalb der Sommerzeit steht eine Winterkirche mit elektrische Heizung (1984 eingebaut) unterhalb der Orgel zur Verfügung. Dieser Raum wurde mit Spendenmitteln der Partnergemeinde Bad Wildungen finanziert. Nachdem 1984 das Kirchendach neu gedeckt wurde, wurde eine vollständige Sanierung des Dachstuhls und des Kirchendachs nötig. Mit den Arbeiten wurde 2008 begonnen, da hierfür nur Spenden zur Verfügung stehen, ruhte nach der Sanierung des Dachstuhls die weitere Arbeit und wurden 2012 fortgesetzt. 2013 konnte die Zwischendecke wieder eingezogen werden. Im darauffolgenden Jahr wurde der Glockenturm erneuert. 2014 erklang nach vielen Jahren erstmals wieder die Orgel. Das Jahr der Fertigstellung ist derzeit noch nicht absehbar. Ausstattung Die Kanzel, der Beichtstuhl sowie der Amtsstuhl sind in Gröningen gefertigt, die Jahreszahl 1737 über der mittig oberhalb des Altars gelegenen Kanzel deutet auf die Herstellung hin. Orgel 1848 wurde die damalige Orgel vollständig ersetzt. Es kam eine gebrauchte Orgel der Firma Adolf Reubke in die Kirche, welche über 10 Stimmen (2 im Pedal, 8 im einzigen Manual) und eine Pedal-Manual-Koppel verfügt. Zwei Blasebälge sorgen für den nötigen Wind. Ein Register wurde nachträglich ausgebaut, ein weiteres Register ist nicht verfügbar. Mit der Sanierung wurde Anfang der 2010er Jahre die Orgel demontiert. 2014 konnte nach Abschluss der Dacharbeiten die Orgel neu aufgebaut werden. Dabei wurden zahlreiche Pfeifen ersetzt, ein neuer Motor eingebaut, das Pedal vollständig erneuert und eine LED-Beleuchtung eingebaut. Während am 16. August 2014 die Orgel das erste Mal gottesdienstlich spielte, fand am 14. September 2014 die offizielle Übergabe im Beisein des Dingelstädter Orgelbauers statt. Die Disposition lautet wie folgt: Koppeln: Normalkoppeln: I/P. Glocken Die Dorfkirche Heteborn hat eine Glocke, welche mit mechanischem Seilzug in Verbindung mit der Uhr den Halbstunden- und Stundenschlag ausführt. Geläutet wird sie per Hand. Eine zweite Glocke wurde 1917 für Kriegszwecke eingeschmolzen. Der 1922 gestellte Antrag auf eine neue zweite Glocke wurde 2022 ausgeführt. Die von der Glockengießerei Rincker in Sinn gegossene Bronzeglocke mit einem Durchmesser von 567 mm und einem Gewicht von 108 kg wurde am 16. Oktober 2022 von Superintendent Schilling und Pfarrerin Entschel gewidmet und soll Weihnachten 2022 das erste Mal wieder klingen. Die Glockenschulter ziert neben dem Ortsnamen, der Jahreszahl 2022 auch Eichenblätter in Verbindung zum Hakel. Die Symboliken der Flanke enthalten einen Apfelbaum in Kreuzesform sowie eine Friedenstaube. Auf dem Wolm ist der Spruch: "Wechselnde Pfade, Schatten und Licht - alles ist Gnade, fürchte dich nicht!" zu lesen. Die Glocke wurde vom ehemaligen Hederslebener Schulleiter und ortsansässigen Kunstlehrer Jürgen Werner gestaltet. Sie erhielt den Namen Patrona. Nutzung Durch das evangelische Kirchspiel Bode-Selke-Aue wird etwa alle zwei Monate Gottesdienst gehalten, die zuständige katholische Pfarrei (Quedlinburg) nutzt die Kirche derzeit nicht. Für Beerdigungen steht auf dem Friedhof am Ortsrand eine Kapelle zur Verfügung.

Skiers love.... well skiing of course... but unfortunately there are a few annoying things about skiing which seem unavoidable!. We love this article which details the 23 things skiers really hate about skiing - why 23? we have no idea. A bit random. Coming in at number two! Carrying all your gear around of course! Skiers love skiing. They don't love carrying their gear about. Snowboarders of course, only have to carry around one thing (their board). Skiers, on the other hand, have to transport four things (two skis and two poles). Stuff. Stuff. Stuff. Stuff everywhere. Too much stuff. Thats why we created the trixski ski carrier - give it a go, it may change your skiing pleasure forever!

Assuming that all the cedar trees are the same and that the three apple trees are the same, and it doesn't matter which of the apple trees you purchase, then you have the following options: CCCCAAA, CCCCAA, CCCCA, CCCC, CCCAAA, CCCAA, CCCA, CCC, CCAAA, CCAA, CCA, CC, CAAA, CAA, CA, C, AAA, AA or A. This is 19 possibilities. Because the problem says that you buy trees, the null set (i.e., not buying anyting) is not as option. What movie and television projects has Marty Gage been in?

Thoroughbred X Quarter Horse Ever heard a horse owner say, "I have an appendix horse"? What they are saying to you is that this horse has Thoroughbred in its bloodlines. Usually quite a lot of the Thoroughbred blood. The use of the word "appendix" was first used in the Thoroughbred stud book around the time of the revolutionary war. The Thoroughbred breeders started a stud reference book. There were a number of cold blooded horses that showed up under the heading appendix in the stud book. This was just a mention of a stud which was bred to a Thoroughbred and not much more. The Thoroughbred breeders stopped letting any other type of horse into the stud book not long after they started the publication. Those were simple times and there were not many rules against outside breeds. Now, only a pure Thoroughbred can register into the Jockey Club or be in the stud book. In the 1950's, the American Quarter Horse Association started its registry and horse member association. They actually had a person travel around and look at your horse to see if the horse qualified as a Quarter horse. If the horse met their registration qualifications, then it could be registered into the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). The first Quarter horses, long before the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), were 14.2 hands and under, usually weighing 1,300 to 1,400 lbs.. They could run a quarter of a mile in less than 22 seconds. They had powerful hips and strong muscles. These horses were referred to as the colonial horses. Many were used as wagon horses or farm plow horses and then raced on the week ends at gatherings. A horse by the name of Janus was a primary stallion use for breeding these horses. They line bred to him so much that the pedigree would look like Janus to Janus out of Janus. These horses evolved and came out west. In Texas, they were used on the ranches working cattle. Their short build and strong hip and muscles made them very quick working a cow. There bloodlines were made up of cold blooded horses. The King ranch in Texas started crossing Thoroughbreds into their registered Quarter horses on their ranch. This and the horse racing industry brought the Thoroughbred into the American Quarter Horse Association. The first Thoroughbred bloodlines brought into the American Quarter Horse Association were not welcomed by all the board members. They decided to bring in Three Bars because he fit the conformation description of a Quarter horse. He was small for a Thoroughbred and met the requirements. His bloodline is used as a foundation bloodline to the Quarter horse. The American Quarter Horse Association decided to do something to prevent the Thoroughbred bloodlines from diluting the Quarter horse bloodlines. They use the classification of a coded appendix horse. This means the horse is an offspring of a Thoroughbred and Quarter horse cross, once. The horse is issued an "X" number to their registry. If you ROM (registry of merit) which means the horse runs a 81 speed index or you campaign the horse in the show ring, then you can apply for full Quarter horse papers. Then you can breed this horse to a Thoroughbred or a coded appendix producing once again an appendix coded horse in the American Quarter Horse Association. It's a continuous circle. Many appendix coded quarter horses do not ROM. Thus, they are gelded and sold without papers. Many come off race tracks. These horses in the American Quarter Horse Association are like an orphan stepchild. So, the word appendix has been around for a long time. The Quarter horse got its name from running the quarter of a mile very fast. The Appendix horse or the Appendix Quarter horse gets its name from being an alternative classification to a well known breed. The American Appendix Horse Association, is providing a service to the Appendix horse breeders. AAHA is the only registry for the Thoroughbred Quarter horse cross. We will let the breeder decide how much Thoroughbred or Quarter horse they want in their breeding program. AAHA is set up to make an entity of the Appendix horse. We, as breeders, need to start looking at the breeding of what is being called the Appendix horse or Appendix Quarter horse. A lot of people are under the misunderstanding that the Thoroughbred horse does not have a good mind and is hot headed and hard to control. They also believe that it is the Quarter horse that gives the cross its good mind and attitude but, it is all in the breeding of the Thoroughbred or Quarter horse individual that you choose to breed. When you think about a Thoroughbred race horse, think about a little jockey perched up on a 1,200+ pounds horse that is being fed very hot hay, grain and all the vitamins they can handle. Then think about the fact that all this horse knows is to run. A lot of the time, this horse will be a stallion on top of everything else we have talked about. Think about putting this 1200+ pounds, very well fed stallion with a jockey perched up on top with a snaffle bit in its mouth for control, into the starting gates. For this horse to keep its cool, even for the very short time it takes to hear the starting bell, takes a good mind. This horse's, adrenalin has to be surging through its body. This horse has to keep focused on running with everything else going on all around them. The reason I mention this is that if you breed your mare to this stallion and used the offspring for trail riding, ranch work, barrel racing or jumping, that offspring should have a good mind for these uses. If you breed to a stallion with a good mind and your mare has a good mind, then the chances of the offspring also having a good mind are greater. Thoroughbreds have been given the bum rap when it comes to saying they are too hot headed. A lot of ex-race horses have become good using horses for many other disciplines. A lot of cutters do not grain their horses in training, because it makes them too high. High is a good word for when you grain a horse, it is like giving them extra energy. It is almost like dope to a horse. They crave the grain. There are Quarter horses that have had bad attitudes as well as Thoroughbreds and I have seen quite a few Quarter horses that like to buck. The Thoroughbred blood crossed onto the Quarter horse bloodlines is the best cross. The American Appendix Horse Association logo is "The Best of Two Breeds." Pedigree papers and registration is not just for the purebred horse anymore. The Quarter horse and Thoroughbred breeders need to keep their bloodline pure to preserve the DNA of these horses. The Appendix breeder wants to breed for the crosses, using the pure lines to adjust their Appendix horse to meet the needs of their personalized performance disciplines. The American Appendix Horse Association would like to invite Appendix breeders to join in making the Appendix horse an entity of its own. You can be part of this great horse registry and horse association by becoming a member and registering your horses which would otherwise be considered coded under a different breed. The American Appendix Horse Association will be setting up horse shows, events, trail rides and a stallion list which will become an Appendix Stud Book. Wise old cowboys say, "The best thing that ever happened to the Quarter horse was 7/8's Thoroughbred." I believe this and want to do my part in making this association a great one. You can call for an application or go to our membership page and apply. Membership form BREEDING STOCK PAINTS WELCOME INTO THE AMERICAN APPENDIX HORSE ASSOCIATION The intent of this article is to reach horse owners of breeding stock Paints. Owners of these horses, register the pedigrees of these horses into a color registry, but if they do not have color in a form of a tobiano or overo markings, horse the is considered a breeding stock Paint and you do not have the full benefits of the organization because your horse isn't colored marked. This can be frustrating, if not madding sometime. I am a firm believer if one door closes, another door opens. You just have to look for the open door. I was an owner of a breeding stock Paint, for all the good it did my horse and myself. I have since registered in the American Appendix Horse Association. This horse had Thoroughbred bloodlines and Quarter Horse bloodlines; she qualified for full registration into this horse breed association and is considered an Appendix horse because of her bloodlines, not because of her color or the lack of it, in this case. The American Appendix horse Association offers the breeding stock Paints a real home for these horses. California is setting up two Charter Chapters, one in the south called the Southern California Appendix Association (SCAA) and another in central California (CCAA). Show will begin in March and the breeding stock Paint horse owners are welcome to come and register (at the time of the show) their horses into this association. There will be no prejudices on color or lack of color. Horses registering will receive points for the end of the year awards in the American Appendix Horse Association. For more information and how to contact the Charter Chapter in California or to set up a Charter Chapter in your area go to AAHA's website, www.americanappendix.com. Bring these breeding stock Paints and become a member and be proud that you are riding an Appendix horse into the future of this great horse industry. The American Appendix Horse Association is here to make horse owners look at the bloodline and see the Thoroughbred in these lines make these horses a better breed. The motto of AAHA is "The Best Of Two Breeds". AAHA is also trying to make the point that a horse with a lot of white or without a lot of white is only as good as its bloodlines. We believe that the Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse cross is an entity of its own and deserves its own registry and horse breeders association. Come and join AAHA in this revolution to make the horse you want as a breeder without having to conform to color regulations. AAHA is here for you as an Appendix horse breeder, any color.

Secret Families event turned into book by former Selma teacher Charlotte Stefanski MUNCIE, Ind. — Every year, the Secret Families Christmas Charity brings together thousands of volunteers to shop, wrap and deliver Christmas to local families in need. Now, that spirited narrative is being turned into a children's book, "One Secret Christmas." Author Kathy Flatter, a retired Selma Elementary teacher, is no stranger to the program, and has volunteered several times. She told The Star Press she usually works as a gift wrapper but has also spent time interviewing families about their Christmas lists and delivered some items, too. As COVID-19 surged during December 2020, Flatter decided she wanted to take that story beyond the big event, held annually on the first Saturday of December. "It really feels like Christmas. It's the spirit of truly caring about others," Flatter said. "It's faith. It's miracles. It's what Christmas is about." Discovering Secret Families In her 31 years of teaching, Flatter has moved from a school in Greenville, Ohio, to Burris Laboratory School, to Perry Elementary to Selma Elementary School, where she spent most of her career. By the early 1990s, she met fellow teacher Chris Holdren at Selma Elementary. In 2004, Chris and her husband, Al, founded Secret Families after they decided not to buy Christmas presents for each other, but for a family in need. Flatter remembers hearing Holdren talk about the event in its early days, as volunteers prepared to wrap presents in the school's gym. At some point, she joined in. "I was a wrapper, and I thought, 'Oh my gosh, this really is Christmas,'" Flatter said. "There's just so many people, like 1,000 people, and it's just all wanting to give and wanting to help." Now going into its 17th year, the effort has helped more than 2,600 families in Delaware County. And once again, the event will begin at 6 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 4, at the Muncie Meijer, followed by gift wrapping at Toyota of Muncie and ending with deliveries to upwards of 400 families. Related: Secret Families Christmas Charity to return in full swing this holiday season In her teaching career, Flatter also worked as a literacy teacher, teaching students about the fundamentals of writing, including narrative, persuasive and more. "I saw the power of teaching kids, that they had a voice, and that only they have their story to tell," Flatter said. "I guess, eventually, I decided it was time for me to tell a story that was impactful to me." Shortly after Christmas 2020, Flatter and Chris Holdren were exchanging gifts over lunch. She told Holdren she felt like it was important to tell their story. Prior to writing "One Secret Christmas," Flatter wrote another book, "Frankie, a Superhero with Fur," which is about a courthouse facility dog named Frankie who works with Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). From 2017:'Courthouse dog' Frankie makes her debut Moving on to the story of Secret Families, Flatter interviewed the Holdrens, asking about their favorite memories and experiences from the event. About a year later, she's ready to share it. A look inside 'One Secret Christmas' Along with illustrator Ted Shideler, Flatter tells the story of 9-year-old Katelyn, whose single mother is a parent of four, unemployed and wondering how to tell the family that Christmas might not come. At school, Katelyn begins to worry, as she has to write Santa a letter, telling him what she wants for Christmas. She's heard her classmates brag about the items on their lists, and she can't help but think about her mom. But then, volunteers at Secret Families step in, delivering Christmas to Katelyn and her family. It might be a generalized narrative, but it's all too familiar to the more than 2,000 families that have been helped through the charity since 2004. As Flatter wrote the book, she pulled in plenty of real stories too. The Holdrens' daughter, Katie, has always been involved with the event. One year, she felt compelled to shop for her own classmate. "Another one, there was a mom and it was snowing really bad. She didn't think Secret Families would be able to come and deliver the presents," Flatter said. "When they pulled up, she goes, 'I knew you'd come. I prayed all night. I knew you'd come.'" Along with impactful moments, the book also explains how the event works, from the thousands of volunteers who shop and wrap, to everything being delivered. Families in need are chosen through local school districts in Delaware County. Schools usually begin taking applications in late October or early November. After being a teacher for three decades, Flatter found the book helped her reflect, especially when writing the part about the main character's letter to Santa. "As a teacher, that was a real eye-opener for me, as I was writing it. I'm thinking, 'OK, you're a teacher, it's the week before Christmas break, it's pretty much crowd control," Flatter said. "So you think, 'I'll just write a letter to Santa.' And then I, I really thought, 'Oh, my gosh, what a horrible thing that must be for some kids.' That never occurred to me before." As the book becomes available, Flatter hopes the cycle of giving and receiving in the spirit of Christmas is clear. For those who are in need this holiday, she wants the story to tell them that miracles can happen. For those who have everything they need, she hopes it inspires gratitude. "I hope in this book that it's clear that sometimes we are all the receivers of someone else's love, and sometimes we're the givers. It's a cycle," Flatter said. "At the end of the book, the family who was served in the future they become the givers because they go back and help every year with Secret Families, which happens a lot." Book signings, local shops and more As the Secret Families event kicks-off this Saturday at 6 a.m., with shoppers, wrappers and delivery teams bringing Christmas to those in need, Flatter will hold a book-signing amid the holiday bustle that day. The signing will take place at two locations, 6-7:15 a.m. at the Muncie Meijer, and then 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at Toyota of Muncie. Holdren said there will be about 300 books available for $15 each. They can be purchased with credit card, cash, check and Venmo. More holiday news: Shop local and Light up DWNTWN at December's First Thursday For those who can't make it, "One Secret Christmas" is also available at The Mailroom on North Wheeling Avenue and at Parlour at Hazelwood on West University Avenue. It's also available on Amazon; just search "One Secret Christmas." As the book becomes available, Flatter said all proceeds will go towards the Secret Families Christmas Charity. "This is their book now. All the money goes directly into the Secret Families account. I don't get anything from it," Flatter said. "That was not my purpose. My purpose is strictly to help families at Christmas." Charlotte Stefanski is a reporter at The Star Press.

The Rome apple (also known as Red Rome, Rome Beauty, Gillett's Seedling) is a cooking apple originating near Rome Township, Ohio, in the early 19th century. This apple remains popular for its glossy red color and for its utility in cooking. Characteristics The Rome is rounded, all red, and very glossy, with a thick skin and firm flesh. It is primarily used for baking, as its flavor develops when cooked, and it holds its shape well. It is commonly described as less desirable as an eating apple because of its subtle flavor that is not as sweet, flashy, or tart as some other varieties. It comes to market in late September and is considered a good keeper. Rome apples are widely grown and available, and are a staple variety in American commerce. Origins The story is given that in 1817 Joel Gillet (also spelled "Gillett" or "Gillette" by his descendants) found a seedling tree in a shipment from a nursery. His son planted the tree on the banks of the Ohio River in Rome Township near Proctorville, Ohio where several years later it was found producing red fruit. His cousin, Horatio Nelson Gillett took cuttings and started a nursery to promote the apple. Originally known as "Gillett's Seedling", it was renamed the "Rome Beauty" in 1832 in honor of the township. The original tree survived into the 1850s until it was felled by erosion of the river bank.

Syros Guide The Greek island of Syros is one of the Cyclades group of islands and lies in the Aegean Sea, around 145 km to the south east of Athens, the Greek capital. The island's history dates back to around the 3rd millennium BC, to the reign of Halandriani and Kastri. Artefacts excavated on the island show that there must have been a metalwork laboratory on the island which it is thought had a commercial relationship with Asia Minor. During the 6th century BC, the island was occupied by the Samians, when many of the island's inhabitants moved to the island. The important physician and philosopher, Pherecydis was born on the island during this period and later went to Samos and became Pythagoras' teacher. In addition to the island's beauty, Syros has a thriving cultural scene and a love of the arts. Tourists should take the time to visit the island's museums and galleries in addition to strolling through pretty village streets or lazing on the beach. From the island's port there are ferry services to Rafina and Piraeus by both conventional or high speed ferry. Syros is also connected to all of the Cyclades Islands, the Dodecanese Islands, Crete, Thessaloniki and Skiathos. Evdilos Guide The Greek town of Evdilos is located in the northern part of the island of Ikaria which lies in the north Aegean Sea. The town, which was amphitheatrically, was only built after 1830 following the end of pirate attacks on the island. The town was the island's temporary capital before Agios Kirikos was declared the capital during the second Turkish Occupation between 1834 and 1912. The town's name means 'visible and freely rendered open horizon'. Today, the town is home to the island's second port and is the centre of the northern, central and western parts of the island. Together with the settlements of Arethousa, Dafni, Karavostamo, Manganitis, and Frandato, they form the community of Evdilos with around 2,400 permanent inhabitants. The island's terrain is characterised by mountains, lovely rivers and spectacular gorges and is popular with hikers. However, the island also has some lovely sandy and pebble beaches some of which are fairly secluded that are difficult to access, even by car. There is certainly something for everyone on the island.

The eyes of millions of victims of racism, xenophobia and intolerance are upon YOU, the representatives of states and the United Nations. And instead of hope you have given them despair. Instead of truth you have handed them diplomatic double-talk. Instead of combating antisemitism you have handed them a reason for Jews to fear UN-driven hatemongering on a global scale. The Durban conference – allegedly dedicated to combating racism, antisemitism and other forms of intolerance – will open April 20th on the anniversary of the birth of Adolf Hitler without agreement on even so much as remembering the Holocaust and the war against the Jews. Your draft words on the Holocaust – the very foundation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – have been narrowed to the barest mention from previous versions. And if the minor reference survives at all – it will be a testament to your interest in Jews that died 60 years ago, while tolerating and encouraging the murder of Jews in the here and now. Furthermore, the draft before you demonizes the Jewish state of Israel and then has the audacity to pretend to care about antisemitism in a single word buried among 17 pages. Antisemitism means discrimination against the Jewish people. Since it is evident that almost none of you have the courage to say it, the face of modern antisemitism IS the UN – your – discrimination against Israel, the embodiment of the Jewish people's right to self-determination. Over and over again we have heard a massive misinformation campaign about the content of these proceedings and the draft before you. We have heard the tale that this draft does not single out Israel, that the hate has been removed, that the fault of the antisemitism at Durban I was that of NGOs while states and the UN were blameless. Perhaps you think that journalists and victims will not bother to read for themselves the Durban Declaration adopted by some governments. There is only one state mentioned in it – Israel. There is only one state associated with racist practices in it – Israel. And yet the very first thing that this draft before you does is to reaffirm that abomination, abomination for Jews and Arabs living in Israel's free and democratic society, and for all the victims of racism ignored therein. Lawyers call it incorporation by reference when they hope nobody reads the small print. The propaganda stops here. We have read it. We understand the game. And we decry the ugly effort to repeat the Durban agenda to isolate and defeat Israel politically, as every effort to do so militarily for decades has failed. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Chair of this Preparatory Committee also told us this week that the Durban Declaration in all its aspects is a consensus text. Perhaps they are unfamiliar with the Canadian reservations made in Durban in 2001 which state categorically that the Middle East language was outside the conference's jurisdiction and not agreed. Perhaps they failed to notice that one of the world's greatest democracies, the United States, voted with its feet and walked out of the Durban I hatefest? The Durban Declaration has never represented a global consensus among free and democratic nations. When the head of the Islamic conference treats Durban as a bible, in their words, it is more accurately a defamation of religions. This week you decided which states ought to serve in a leadership role at next week's conference. Among them are some of the world's leading practitioners of racism, not those interested in ending it. You have also decided to hand a global megaphone to the President of a state which advocates genocide and denies the Holocaust. So in a state of shock and dismay we address ourselves not to the human rights abusers that glorify the Durban Declaration or its next incarnation, but to democracies -- and we ask: Will Germany sit on Hitler's birthday and listen to the speech of an advocate of genocide against the Jewish people and grant legitimacy to the forum which tolerates his presence? What about the United Kingdom, the birthplace of the Magna Carta? Or France that helped to ship last generation's Jews to crematoriums? You could have fought racism. You chose instead to fight Jews. You could have promoted the universal standards against racism already in existence. You chose instead to diminish their importance in the name of alleged cultural preferences. You could have protected freedom of expression. You chose instead to undermine it by twisted concepts of incitement. You could have brought victims of racism together in a common cause. You chose instead to pit victims against each other in an ugly struggle for meagre recognition. For those democracies that remain under these circumstances you are ultimately responsible for what can only be called an appalling disservice to real victims of racism, xenophobia and related intolerance around the world.

Uses and Types of Automobile Chassis Parts - Fenghua Xinke Precision Casting Co., Ltd. The era of custom-built cars ended with the introduction of mass production starting with Ford Model T. Instead of luxury, usefulness dictates the automobile industry of today. These days, except for a few very high-end cars, manufacturers do not entertain requests for customization. However, not everything is lost. One can still revamp his or her car with hundreds of aftermarket car parts. Let us understand what aftermarket parts are. To begin with, it should be clear that aftermarket car parts are not essential for the car's everyday running. Nor are aftermarket parts available as standard accessories from car dealers. These are available at manufacturers or suppliers of ancillary spare parts. Decking up your car to suit your tastes is entirely an individual choice. This is accomplished is by addition of aftermarket car parts to the vehicles or by replacing the already existing parts with aftermarket car parts. Aftermarket parts serve three purposes: some parts are only for boosting performance, some for changing the look and feel of the vehicle, and some for increasing the vehicle's efficiency. • Enhancing look and feel: some examples include alteration in chassis and body shape, showy paint, differently styled steering wheels and gear knobs, chromium plated mirrors, bumpers and wheel plates, leather / fur upholstery, etc. • Boosting performance: the turbocharger is the most frequent device used for getting extra power out of the engine; another popular aftermarket part is the high performance muffler added to the exhaust system to reduce the engine noise. Control arms and control panels are also popular additions. • Improving efficiency: gauges to monitor different aspects of your vehicle's performance, attaching fuel saving devices to fuel distribution system, modifying car body to make it light and to obtain a better drag are some to the measures for getting the most of your car.

Whew! These appointments should certainly help resolve the debt and budget crisis. Is this what I hear in all these news conferences about staying focused? Maybe he's bringing Geithner over to fire him. Not. MrsClinton must be a kindly soul not to break out in laughter every time she meets with MrO. If he complains about his current situation to her, she must have to bite her lip not to reply "well, you won, didn't you". I think of her as a big sellout, too, though. Celebrating Ramadan? I can only hope he grabs up a huge fistful of thorny branches and beats the hell out of himself with them. Hey Joe, remember last year's"drama don"at the WH when barry hussein pandered in support of the muslim temple at ground zero in the presence his dearest friends ? Hey ! heres a new title: "panderer in chief ".. What is up with the daily briefings all of the sudden? Don't recall ever seeing them on his schedule before the 4th of August. Susan, I didn't include them because they weren't public events, but people thought he was waking up at 2:00 pm – not saying this never happens – so I started putting them in. This WH photo tells you all you need to know what Dover was all about. What the heck is he doing? Is he waving, saluting, scaring away one of the many flies that like to buzz him? If that's a salute, then he is more of a wimp than I thought. As ol'gator pointed out yesterday, he doesn't know how to salute; but he does know how to bow! Thanks for the photo. Let's hope that the grieving families were comforted by his appearance and show of respect for those killed in action. Thanks for posting the pic GJ…ruined my whole day! When first read I thought the POTUS was hosting an I fart dinner honoring the Ramen Don. After further review I object to his highness. this is the country you were (sadly) elected to protect and defend and we come first. As we have always been first to help others. you wont see that from barry hussein.. he will pray to allah in private bowing on his little rug facing the east. A Socialist Muslim? You've gotta be kidding me.

Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg was a mixed martial arts event held by Strikeforce. It was held in San Jose, California on August 15, 2009. The event aired live on the Showtime cable network and marked the first time two women headlined a major MMA event. Background The main event featured Gina Carano taking on Cris Cyborg for the inaugural Strikeforce Women's Championship contested at . Five five-minute rounds are now featured for the women's championship bout. Joe Riggs pulled out of his bout with Nick Diaz on July 23, 2009, due to suffering an adverse reaction to a drug. Diaz was then slated to face Jay Hieron for the Welterweight Championship belt. However, Diaz missed a pre-fight drug test mandated by the California State Athletic Commission and was denied a license to compete. Diaz was replaced with former Ultimate Fighter contestant Jesse Taylor and the fight became a non-title bout. Renato Sobral was set to face off against Gegard Mousasi at Affliction: Trilogy on August 1, 2009, but the match was scrapped following the cancellation of the event. The fight was instead moved to this event, and changed to a title fight for Strikeforce's Light-Heavyweight Championship belt, which was already held by Sobral. Josh Thomson, who was set to unify his lightweight championship with interim champion Gilbert Melendez, was unable to do so because of an injury. Mitsuhiro Ishida replaced him and the bout was changed to an interim title bout for Melendez' belt. A previously announced bout featuring Erin Toughill was called off. She became the reserve fighter in case either Gina or Cris were unable to fight. The event drew an average of 576,000 viewers on Showtime. Results Reported payout The following is the reported payout to the fighters as reported to the California State Athletic Commission. It does not include sponsor money or "locker room" bonuses. Cris Cyborg ($25,000 – includes $5,000 win bonus) def. Gina Carano ($125,000) Gegard Mousasi ($25,000 – no win bonus) def.

It peaked with 856,000 viewers for the night's main event between Carano and Justino. The Carano vs. Cyborg event set a new MMA ratings record for Showtime, eclipsing a card headlined with Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbott, which averaged 522,000 viewers.

A higher proportion of women work in the former eastern states than in the western states, a new survey showed on Wednesday, and experts say it has everything to do with Germany's divided history. A quarter century after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Bertelsmann Foundation updated its information about the number of women in the work force by state. In the former East, 57.9 percent of women held permanent jobs in 2012, whereas only 50.9 percent of women in western states were in permanent employment. The previous data, from 2007, showed that 50.9 percent of women in the east held permanent employment compared with 45.8 percent of women in the western states. "In West Germany, women leave the job market when they have a child. There's no question of that for women from the former East," said Barbara Riedmüller, a professor at the Free University (FU) in Berlin whose research focuses on society and employment. Riedmüller said the cultural difference between East and West would ensure a gap between the numbers of working women for years to come. "For me, it was never a decision if I was going to work or not. At the most, it was a matter if I would work full- or part-time," said a 32-year-old Berlin journalist. The mother of two was born in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Nationwide, the employment rate for women is 51.8 percent, still well behind that of men in Germany at 59.2 percent. "In the former East, roles of men and women were long considered equal – meaning both sexes worked. In the west, the dual-income-earner model for couples is less common. There, usually the man is the bread-winner," said Bertelsmann Foundation researcher Kirsten Witte. Riedmüller said the west lags behind because of its historical adherence to the idea that women are either working or mothers and traditionally not both. "Look at France. There, no woman comes to the conclusion to not work. And it was like that also in GDR. It had the highest divorce rate in the world, many couples lived together but didn't get married and so a good education, a permanent job and financial security for women in the states of East Germany has always been very important," Riedmüller said. On the map, darker blue areas have more women in employment. Women in Saxony were most likely to have permanent employment (58.5 percent), while only 47.5 percent of women in North Rhine-Westphalia and 47.2 percent of women in Saarland hold permanent employment. Despite the fact that more women are in political spheres in the western states, this hasn't yet translated to more women in the workplace. "Marrying family and career must be pursued by women in the west and men there must be more integrated (in the home)," Riedmüller said. For the study, researchers looked at 295 rural districts and 106 urban districts to reach their conclusions. Numbers from the federal employment agency from last year confirmed what researchers found, though differ slightly since they are derived from the 2011 census.

The private tuition sector is booming and there's never been a better time to get in on the potentially lucrative action. Worth an estimated £2 billion in the UK alone, extra-curricular and private tutoring has steadily risen in popularity over the last decade and the industry is now dominated by successful franchises all across the country. With parents looking to give their children a head start before they venture out into the increasingly competitive world of work, tutoring has become a standard part of many children's lives, with around 40 percent of children in London now undertaking additional tutoring to supplement their education. There are lots of different tutoring companies and franchises out there, from play-based programmes that help engage and instil a love of education in young children to tutoring sessions that are suitable for young people all the way through to university level. However, it can be challenging to go it alone in an industry that's crammed with individuals trying to build their own tutoring business from scratch. Many who are looking to break into the tutoring sector might be passionate educators, but lack the knowledge of marketing, management and the reputation to reach success on their own. That's why joining a tutoring services franchise might be the perfect solution. If you're a passionate educator looking for a new challenge that traditional teaching may not offer, why not look into the many tutoring franchise opportunities that are on the market? Whether your skills lie in traditional disciplines such as Maths and English, or you specialise in areas like languages or technology, there are a wide range of opportunities to suit your interests. If you're looking to break into the home tutoring market, Tutor Doctor is a fantastic franchise to join. It's one of the world's largest tutoring franchises and already has more than 500 franchisees spanning 16 countries. By matching students with a professional, friendly tutor based on their individual academic needs, the franchise has an impressive success rate that helps children succeed and develop a lifelong love for learning. It's been ranked as the number one in-home tutoring franchises by the influential Entrepreneur Magazine and has scooped countless awards for its business model. If you're looking to move your career into the education sector but have no prior experience or background in education, you could still be the right franchisee for Tutor Doctor. The franchise is seeking ambitious, driven individuals who will help run and co-ordinate their own tutoring business and employ talented educators to deliver sessions in a wide range of subjects. Franchisees will still be able to experience the satisfaction that tutoring delivers, as they'll be making a difference to children who need an extra helping hand. With a flexible, home-based business model and low overheads, Tutor Doctor offers the flexibility and potential for high returns that so many people seek from franchising. Many children need a helping hand with their Maths and English skills, and First Class Learning specialises in helping them reach their full potential. As part of a respected and nationally recognised brand, you could be the one that helps a network of tutors remotely deliver a comprehensive and enjoyable extra-curricular programme in your area. With more than 250 tuition centres across the world, First Class Learning welcomes franchisees who are passionate about helping children overcome obstacles in their education without the pressures and restrictive workloads that they may have faced when working in a school. The franchise is the fastest growing tutoring franchise in the UK and, for a surprisingly low investment, you could open your own centre that you run around your own personal commitments. Technology is becoming ever-more present in our lives and children who lack sufficient knowledge of the digital world might find themselves at a disadvantage once they enter the workforce. That's where ComputerXplorers can help. With its tailored programme that equips children with the skills to get ahead in the digital world, ComputerXplorers teaches children about everything from digital photography and robotics to coding and forensic science while helping to improve core academic skills including maths, literacy and science. Franchisees will benefit from multiple income streams, thanks to a business model that lends itself well to the simultaneous running of in-school, extra-curricular and summer camp programmes. Each territory will include at least 300 schools and 300 nurseries/pre-schools, meaning you'll have ample opportunity to generate an impressive income quickly. You won't need to be an IT expert or even come from an education background, as ComputerXplorers will provide more than 200 pieces of unique material and a comprehensive lesson plan to help you and your staff deliver sessions with ease. The franchise is looking for people who are passionate about technology and computing and educating the next generation about the world that exists online. Languages can unlock the world for your little ones and at Bambini Lingo, they'll be able to experience a fun, unique learning experience that exposes them to up to 9 languages before they've even started school. With a range of different classes that are suitable for children from birth, franchisees will use Bambini Lingo's award-winning music albums and fun, play-based curriculum to immerse children in a new language. Whether you're multi-lingual or simply have a love of languages, Bambini Lingo is encouraging everyone who is passionate about giving children the gift of language and life-long learning to get involved in its exciting opportunity. All classes need to be delivered by a native speaker, which can either be yourself if you have a bi-lingual background, or employees who deliver your scheduled classes for you. The franchise was established in 2012 and now delivers classes in 9 languages to children across the globe, taking advantage of the 'magic window' of opportunity that young children have for picking up additional languages.

Teacher's strike avoided in Streator Posted by wlpo on January 11, 2016 There will be no teacher's strike in Streator. With the help of a mediator, the Streator Education Association and Streator Elementary School Board of Education have agreed on a new three-year contract. The contract will cover 2014 through 2017 as teachers have been working with an expired contract. Details of the new contract haven't been released. It still needs to be ratified by the teacher's union and officially approved by the school board. Before Monday night's agreement, the teacher's union had taken a vote in support of a strike. The school district has made major cuts the past couple years including closing a school.

State Police Cite Speeders but Handle No Fatal Crashes in Illinois Valley for December Illinois State Police say they did not have to handle any fatal crashes in December in the Illinois Valley. That information is part of a broader announcement made Sunday about State Police Activity in District 17, which includes LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam Counties. They also announced that last month they made 8 DUI arrests and gave nearly 200 speeding tickets. Overall for the month state troopers gave almost 250 tickets and more than 600 written warnings. Peru hospital opening its doors as a warming center Need an escape from the cold? Illinois Valley Community Hospital is willing to help keep you warm. The IVCH cafeteria is open around the clock to serve as a warming center. If you go to warm up before 8 o'clock in the evening, you're supposed to use the West Street entrance. If you're coming to the hospital cafeteria after hours to warm up, go in through the emergency room entrance. How low did it go in the Illinois Valley? Remember all the talk about a mild winter? That seems like so long ago now. The coldest day of winter so far sent temperatures Monday morning below zero in Paw Paw with a low temperature according to the National Weather Service of -7. Morris had a morning low of zero while it fell to 2 degrees above zero in Peru and Ottawa. Marseilles had a low of 3 above. Warmer days are ahead with high temperatures Thursday and Friday expected to be near 40. Early morning semi fire snarls traffic near Peru It's awfully cold to be out fighting a fire but that's what happened to Ladd firefighters. A 9-1-1 call came out around 5 Monday morning for a semi fire on westbound Interstate 80 west of Peru near the Plank Road exit. For over an hour, traffic was being slowed and even diverted as the semi was towed away and state crews had a chance to salt the lanes where the fire happened. Nobody was injured. Skoog's debut in Springfield delayed a couple weeks SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) – State Representative Andy Skoog won't be heading to Springfield this week after all. House Speaker Mike Madigan has canceled a two-day session this week saying there isn't enough to work on. Skoog and the rest of the House are expected to show up in Springfield now on January 27th. The state is entering its seventh month without an approved budget.

Are questions being asked about risk-bearing capacity, risk-bearing settings, experience and knowledge? If so, to what extent? What is the minimum investment amount? Can I maintain one or even several investment objectives? We reviewed and tested the complexity of the tools, and whether and to what extent simulations are possible. We also analysed the company behind the robo: Is it a FinTech company? In which countries is it represented? In what year was it established, or when did the robo go live? Additionally, we classified the robo for individuality and service level. Where possible, we also collected the number of customers and AuM (assets under management). We considered safety aspects: Is the company regulated? Does it have a license? What identification methods are used during onboarding? With which partner bank is the money deposited? We also collected the countries of distribution, sales focus and product partners. Cost factor is also decisive for the assessment of robos. We calculated the annual cost for a one-time investment of € 20,000 and then assessed the cost models according to transparency. How was the evaluation carried out? First, we looked at factors that say something about the success of a robo-advisor. For one thing, the number of customers and the AuM (assets under management), but also public perception on social media, especially Facebook and Twitter, and Google entries. Based on these values, we derived a score for each company. What do we want to achieve with this study? What models of digital investment advice are available? What asset management is offered? Is regulation consistent with digital investment? Best Practice: What models are successful today? What developments can be expected? How can I reach a future-proof digital decision for my bank? There are currently 20 providers in Germany, 40 providers in Europe and 100 providers worldwide. The offers vary in complexity, value proposition, degree to which they can be individualised as well as business model. Investment advice is still largely avoided by many offers in the area of MiFID, asset management has become more common and real investment advice for securities is not yet taking place. Regulations experts expect significant changes here from almost all national authorities. What is coming onto the market and what are the conditions to be observed? Asset Management and products used by non-invested assets play an increasingly important role in differentiation. Particularly demanding asset management is used by some providers communicatively in a centralised position. We will present you with a typology and an assignment of individual offers, and show you in more detail which consequences the individual methods can have for you and your customers; paying particular attention to your sales, technical and regulatory details. Many of the robo-advisors on the market are equivalent to a first-generation development stage. These robo-advisors, however, are almost exclusively used by the "pioneers". The development of larger customer groups or customer volumes cannot be achieved with this technology. Currently, the third generation is on the market. This generation is already more capable of opening up larger customer groups. Our in-depth knowledge of the global market of FinTech robo advice offers will help you find the ideal solution for your bank. Not all models record growth rates. Whether cooperation, imitation or adaptation – avoid models that have limited prospects. We'll offer you an impulse workshop on this subject. There, we'll provide facts with a particular focus on the German market. Get access to information that allows you to make clear decisions; even if this means that your bank offers no digital investment. We're currently expanding the study with a few details. You can find out even more in a few weeks.

Q: self.propertyName vs _propertyName in objective-c I understand the difference between the two: self.propertyName uses the accessor method whereas _propertyName accesses the instance variable directly. So as I understand it, the only time you don't want to use the self.propertyName is inside the property's accessor method, since it would cause an infinite loop. As long as I follow that rule, is it ok, and perhaps good for the sake of consistency, to use self.propertyName every time you need to get/set that property inside a class method? Thanks so much for your wisdom! A: Yes, you're spot on. Consistency is the most important thing out of all of this. My personal preference is to use the dot notation where ever possible, but use the direct instance variable if required (for example, within getter/setters). Saying that, you want to be careful if you're in the properties setter method too, as self.property = val within setProperty: will also call an infinite loop; the solution being _property = val. A: As well as setters and getters, you should avoid dot notation in your init and dealloc methods on the grounds that it's not safe to call published methods on a class that's half constructed or half destroyed. The particular risk is that a subclass might have added logic into its accessors. If you call the accessor in dealloc then you'll call the subclass after it's deallocated itself. If you call the accessor in init then you'll call into the subclass before it's initialsed itself. Much the same thing can also happen if you have any key-value observers — of you call a setter then they're alerted of the change and given a reference to you regardless of your current state. So it's not even safe if you strictly disallow subclassing. A: proper use of properties will further consistency (as said) also allow for better subclassing :) still... in some situations.. e.g. in a threading context where you want stuff to be atomic or so, you gotta fallback to the var

You are here: Home / Archives for Matt EQ4Peace Worldwide, Inc. September 23, 2018 by Matt Leave a Comment "The mission of EQ4Peace is to create global peace by cultivating inner peace, interpersonal peace and social peace through emotional education (EQ) – worldwide." Emotional Intelligence Education (EQ) adds a critical missing component to standard, left-brain-focused cognitive school curriculum by teaching kids, teens and adult right-brain emotional awareness, understanding and management concepts and skills. Studies and research are showing that, if we can create peace inner peace, it leads quite naturally to interpersonal peace, and ultimately to world peace. Many agencies and groups are pro-peace, but EQ curriculum actually teaches how to create peace on the inside, so we can create peace on the outside. Dean Van Leuven, "The Dean of Peace", has written 13 textbooks and workbooks on Emotional Intelligence education, which are currently being taught in multiple countries. He came to me from Oregon last Summer (August 2018) to ask if I would manage his current efforts in Asia, and expand the offerings in the US and beyond. Dean has won a variety of awards over the years, and he will be travelling back to India and Nepal to receive another award, and to meet with additional schools who wish to add his work (India, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, UK). In fact, UNESCO (both in India and Nepal), the UN's Education, Science and Culture division has requested proposals for how to add these classes into additional schools, districts and countries. Dean's most successful in-roads in EQ education have come in Nepal, the 6th poorest country on earth, where over 7,500 students in public and private middle schools, high schools and 6 universities have adopted this curriculum into their regular course offerings. For 12 years (since 2007), Dean's "Life Without Anger" classes, operated by Dess Mardan ("DM") Basnet and his Board of PhDs working for a local Nepal non-profit World Without Anger to rave reviews at all levels (kids, parents, educators, admin) and significant quantifiable results. Matt's main focus is to secure funding for EQ4Peace Worldwide, Inc., a new USA-based public charity, non-profit corporation (applied for IRS 501(c)3 on 4.14.2019). The demand for EQ education is clearly there, the efforts need to be coordinated and we need additional funding for books, teacher training and stipends. In these countries, the funding requirements are extremely low. A one-time injection of only $250 can provide an entire class with everything they need to establish and deliver an entire school year of EQ training… that will improve 20-40 kids' lives, forever. According to WorldBank, there are 218 countries in the world. Since we have already impacted education in 10 countries, with concerted, well-managed effort, we should be able to affect the rest, at some level, whether government, districts, schools and/or class level.

People do not understand how greatly their decisions are influenced by their emotions. People cherish habits that are not good for them. People are inspired by the grandeur and majesty of nature. People have two parallel tracks: what's going on in the outside physical world and their internal interpretation of that outside world. People are interdependent. People believe that they are in control of their own lives, but outside events that completely change one's life can intervene at any place and any time.

People want to be unconditionally loved. People love a bargain. People want the best for their kids. People think the speed limit should be faster. People cannot describe what they want. How will they ever recognize it when it turns up? People want their mothers to love them. People are realizing that life is more than the rat race. People need some serenity in their lives. People want to be included. People are having a hard time balancing work and family. People are so busy living their lives that they forget who they are and what they really want from life. People have the capacity to create. They create their lives and opportunities each and day of their lives. People will do more to avoid the feeling of fear than attain the feeling of joy. People are living life at a consistently faster pace. People's desire for discovery will take them to other worlds, other planets, and other stars. People all suffer conflict between their heart and their head. People all want what they haven't got, and cease to want what they already have. People are far kinder to one another that they are to themselves. People respond to love and nurturing, and to the absence of it. People usually believe that their actins and choices are right. People know they are capable of so much more but don't know how to go about the process of creating what they want. People do not take seriously the promises they make to themselves, although they would honor the same promises made to a virtual stranger. People can change very quickly – and change doesn't have to be painful. People like to feel that they are in control of situations. People who take action on the choices they make will inevitably succeed. People who recognize that their environment affects their outcomes are aware of what steps need to be taken towards improvement.

Homeschool gives parents the ultimate level of control over their children's education and permits students to move at an individualized pace, allowing flexibility not found in many traditional classrooms. An experienced homeschooling mom talks about why homeschool might work for your family. Christina Strickland, the owner of Homeschooling in Detroit, has been homeschooling her daughters for over 12 years and talks about how homeschooling enhances and challenges her family. Christina talks about what influenced her family to consider a homeschool program. When my oldest daughter was in kindergarten, she was bussed to a school that was 45 minutes away, although we had two elementary schools within a 10 minute walk of our home. She would get on the bus at 7:30 a.m. and get home at 4:30 p.m. By the time she finished homework, it was time for dinner and then bath and bedtime. I asked myself, "Who is parenting her?" It wasn't me because she was gone all day, and I couldn't expect it to be her teacher. A homeschool curriculum can be as rigorous and diverse — if not more so — than that of a traditional curriculum, and with planning, students can be exposed to a variety of peers, adults and experiences. Flexibility is one of the major advantages for Christina's family. After bringing [our oldest daughter] home, we discovered so many benefits of homeschooling. We enjoyed that our children had time to "just be kids" and time for fun stuff like hanging out with their friends. We have been able to tailor our curriculum to each of our children's interests and learning styles. Even satisfied homeschooling parents can tell you homeschooling has disadvantages. Taking full responsibility for your children's educations means you need to be able to separate yourself emotionally when something isn't working, since self-blame is unproductive. Christina warns about the challenges. The biggest challenge is not letting yourself feel guilty when something goes wrong. When your child isn't reading at grade level, it's so easy to blame yourself. Sometimes a child just isn't ready, and we have to take a deep breath, regroup and carry on. Deciding to try homeschooling can be daunting. Having a strong support system and access to curriculum resources, ideas and like-minded parents can mean the difference between feeling confident and feeling isolated. If you believe homeschooling is a viable choice for your family, Christina suggests two crucial resources. Check out the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. You don't need to be a member to access the information there. Find out what the laws in your state are so you can comply. Then search for local homeschool groups and plug in. It's so important to be a part of a group of like-minded people so you can get advice, swap stories and make friends. If you are in the Metro Detroit area, check out my website, homeschoolingindetroit.com, for lists of local homeschool groups, programs, events and a section on how to get started. ^ Find Christina at Homeschooling in Detroit and Detroit Mommies or on Twitter @MrsStrick.

A year of turmoil and change Staff Reports The Register-Guard Among 2018's most newsworthy events: the upheaval at A3, the youth-led climate trial and Track town changes Tragedy and scandal rocked a Springfield school. The wrecking ball visited Hayward Field. The "climate kids" couldn't get their day in court — yet. Those were among the top local stories of 2018 as voted on by The Register-Guard newsroom. The newspaper itself cracked the top 10 list: GateHouse Media's purchase of The Register-Guard in March after more than 90 years of family ownership was rated the sixth biggest story of the year. But the top story was the upheaval at the Academy of Arts and Academics in Springfield, where the principal committed suicide after allegations he'd sexually abused a student. Subsequent investigations raised serious questions about the oversight of the high school, known as A3. The district dissolved its charter school status, took over management and hired a new principal in an effort to move past the traumatic events. Some of the other top local stories had a déjà vu quality. The climate change lawsuit filed in 2015 by young people — six from Eugene — continued to garner national attention even while the effort stalled in the courts. Local officials struggled to find a permanent solution to the ongoing plight of homelessness. The city of Eugene and Lane County got their downtown land swap, but the look and logistics of a new City Hall — as well as a new county courthouse — will be fodder for future year-in-review stories. Until then, here are the top 10 of 2018: 1. Turmoil at A3 Mike Fisher, Academy of Arts and Academics principal, was placed on administrative leave in late January. He killed himself the next day. A police investigation later revealed that Fisher had sexually abused a former student for years beginning when she was 14. An investigation by The Register-Guard found that school staff members had suspicions about Fisher's inappropriate behavior as far back as 2007, but top administrators didn't thoroughly investigate the concerns, and the abuse continued for years, according to police and school district documents obtained through public records requests. Further investigation discovered that two students tried to alert school staff, via a school survey in 2015, that Fisher was having a sexual relationship with a former student. The students' concerns were never brought to the attention of police, district staff or any other authority. Instead, A3 board members deleted the survey responses. 2. Climate trial delay What started as a year of promise ended on a note of frustration for the so-called "climate kids" — a group of 21 young people suing the federal government over climate change. A trial was set to begin Oct. 29 in U.S. District Court in Eugene, but it's on hold as the government pursues pretrial appeals. At this point, it may be some time before a trial can be held. In a setback for the plaintiffs — six of whom are from Eugene — the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals last week agreed to hear a challenge from the government. Attorneys for the plaintiffs, however, continue to push for a new trial date. Their lawsuit seeks a court order directing the government to stop permitting, authorizing and subsidizing fossil fuels in order to phase out carbon emissions, and to put in place a national plan that works to stabilize the climate. Several rallies in support of the case were held this year, including a series of nationwide protests on the day that trial was scheduled to begin. 3. Track Town changes "I'm sure of one thing," Nike co-founder Phil Knight told The Register-Guard in May. "When those bulldozers in July knock that East Grandstand down, I am the most reviled man in Eugene." Whether Knight was right or wrong, the demolition of Hayward Field stirred strong emotions among Eugene's track and field supporters. Protests over the future of the venue and legal scrutiny surrounding Eugene's bid for the 2021 IAAF World Outdoor Track & Field Championships combined to make 2018 an eventful year for TrackTown, USA. Vin Lananna stepped away from TrackTown and was placed on leave from his role as president of USA Track & Field amid a federal investigation into the awarding of international track meets. But progress toward the 2021 games marched on, with Hayward Field demolished to make room for a modernized venue funded in large part by Knight, despite opposition from Nike designer Tinker Hatfield and other East Grandstand supporters. 4. Homelessness in Eugene Eugene city leaders briefly OK'd opening the vacant City Hall block to homeless people. The development, which the city eventually abandoned, tells residents all they need to know about the growing seriousness of the city's homeless problem. The increased visibility of homelessness, including individuals openly camping along major city streets, only bolstered a finding in a recent consultant's report that the number of unsheltered people in Lane County is significantly higher than in other similarly sized areas. Fueling the community debate was Eugene's business-as-usual stance following a federal ruling that criminalizing homeless people for camping outdoors when they had no alternative was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the U.S. Constitution. That led to a homeless protest camp downtown, which the county relocated along Highway 99. City and county officials continue to look for ways to provide the homeless with legal and secure outdoor sleeping areas as they weigh publicly funding needed indoor shelters. But those projects remain months, if not years, away. 5. A robust economy Lane County continued to ride a strong economy throughout 2018. The unemployment rate fell below 4 percent over the summer to reach some of the lowest levels on record, as industries from construction to trade, health care, leisure and hospitality added hundreds of employees each, according to Oregon Employment Department data. Yet, the November jobs report highlighted growing concerns of an economic slowdown after years of torrid growth. The data marked the second straight month the county's unemployment rate was higher than the same month in 2017. Housing prices continued a years-long surge, meanwhile. The median sale price hit $299,000 in August, the highest median on record, as houses in many cases flew off the market within days of being listed. 6. The Register-Guard sold After 90 years of independent ownership by the Baker family, The Register-Guard was sold to the GateHouse Media newspaper chain March 1. GateHouse acquired Guard Publishing Co.'s media properties, including The Register-Guard, companion digital products and the company's commercial printing operation. The newspaper had been owned by the Baker family since 1927, when Alton Baker Sr. purchased the Eugene Guard, and merged it with the Eugene Register newspaper a few years later. Dozens of Baker family members were involved in the business over the following decades. 7. Arson and ambush A 65-year-old Springfield man set fire to his home on Oct. 17, then waited to ambush arriving firefighters, shooting repeatedly at emergency responders. With firefighters forced to retreat from the gunfire, the flames spread, destroying three homes, badly burning a fourth house and causing smoke damage to a fifth residence in the 500 block of Oakdale Avenue. None of the firefighters sustained serious injuries. The gunman, later identified as Lance Taylor Jacobs, had moved his car into the driveway of a sixth, vacant house down the block, then fired on emergency responders from behind the vehicle before killing himself with a shotgun. 8. Land swap moves forward After three court actions, most recently suing the descendants of city founders Eugene and Mary Skinner, the downtown land swap between the city of Eugene and Lane County made major progress in 2018 after more than two years of effort. A judge's ruling has cleared the way for the city of Eugene to sell its vacant City Hall block to Lane County to site a new county courthouse. In exchange, Lane County will sell its "butterfly" parking lot to the city for a new City Hall and year-round farmers market. The sale is set to close early next year as the city kicks off its planning effort for its Town Square project, which includes the new City Hall, and the county continues discussions about paying for the proposed $252 million courthouse, including referring a bond measure to voters in May. 9. A rash of overdoses Fentanyl use was on the rise in Lane County, with 23 people overdosing on the dangerous drug over four days in September. Fifteen more overdosed in the first half of October. All survived, thanks to a medication called Narcan that reverses the effects of opioids, but the flurry of overdoses has focused local attention on the drug. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used to help relieve severe ongoing pain. It's appealing to users because it takes only a fraction of the amount — compared to other drugs — to get high. Fentanyl has been found in powder, pill and patch form, and mixed into other drugs, most commonly heroin. Those who overdosed this fall ranged in age from their 20s to 50s, with the first three victims of the September overdose spree being 51-year-olds found in parked cars. 10. Axemen no more South Eugene High School became the home of the Axe in 2018. Eugene School District officials announced in February that the school would replace the former Axemen team name with Axe, after some people said the original name, which dates back more than 90 years, was sexist and excluded those who don't identify as male. Consideration of a potential name change began after a formal complaint was filed with the district in October 2017. South Eugene High families and students gathered more than 200 signatures, prompting the district to consider the change. A counter-petition to keep the Axemen name garnered nearly 4,000 signatures. Before changing the name, the district gathered thousands of comments from community members, South Eugene alumni and current South Eugene students, parents and staff. These stories didn't quite receive enough votes to make the top 10: Ride-hailing services Uber and Lyft returned to the area; Interstate 105 construction created traffic gridlock in Eugene; Chris Skinner was chosen as Eugene police chief; a group broke ground on the Civic Stadium site; voters passed a huge Eugene school bond; Krista Parent was removed as South Lane School District superintendent; and the University of Oregon began construction of the Knight science campus. — Alisha Roemeling, Jack Moran, Austin Meek, Christian Hill, Elon Glucklich and Chelsea Deffenbacher contributed to this story. > Reader survey: Pick the most important local stories of 2018

Apple has just announced a shopping promotion that should convince more people to use Apple Pay as a payment method, at least temporarily. The Cupertino-based company is offering a free $5 App Store and iTunes Gift Card when consumers purchase items at select online retailers and transact using Apple Pay. Running from December 14, 2017, through to December 21, 2017, the promotion will reward shoppers with a free-of-charge $5 iTunes gift card to purchase apps, in-app purchases, or content like music, movies, or TV shows through the iTunes Store. Apple is making this promotion available solely to customers shopping in the United States and it will only last for a period of seven days, or while stocks of the pre-allocated amount of gift cards last. Apple is also suggesting that the promotion is offering one card per retail partner, meaning it seems that consumers can benefit multiple times if they are planning on shopping at multiple locations. In order to qualify for the promotion, the purchaser will need to transact using a card associated with Apple Pay and actually use the Apple Pay protocol for the payment. This means that a qualifying card will need to be active in the native Wallet app and the card will needed to have been verified by the issuing bank. From there on in, it's simply a case of visiting the retailers who are part of the deal, putting items into a virtual basket, and using Apple Pay to pay for those items – a perfect little promotion for anyone who still has additional festive shopping to do.

GONZALO HIGUAIN returns to Napoli tonight for the first time since his acrimonious summer transfer for Juventus. The reigning Italian champions temporarily made the Argentine the third-most expensive player in football history when they parted with £75.3million to bring him to Turin. Higuain was a Neapolitan hero having netted a modern-Serie A record 36 goals last season. But the visiting fans are sure to let their former idol know in no uncertain terms that they no longer hold him in such revere — and have even prepared toilet role with Argentine's face in it. Here is at look back at seven significant clashes between top stars and their former teams. Tensions were high for the best part of the 1980s after Juve pipped Fiorentina to the title by a point in 1982. But eight years later, the Tuscan side did the unthinkable — sold star man to their fierce rivals for a world-record fee. The Fiorentina president's decision sparked riots in the city, as fans three bricks and Molotov cocktails at the club headquarters. Baggio struggled to create a rapport with the Juventini, with reports he had refused to wear the club scarf during his presentation. He had already played against his former club in Turin, but on his return to Florence, he was booed throughout and had the opportunity to silence the home crowd when he won a penalty. However, despite being an expert from 12 yards, he refused to take it — and the spot-kick was saved. And, after being substituted, he picked up a Fiorentina scarf which had been thrown onto the pitch and put it around his neck as he took his place on the bench — going off to a standing ovation. The Bianconeri lost 1-0 on the day and would finish the season in seventh place. Baggio was confronted by 300 Juve fans at the training centre two days later — but explained he felt the goalkeeper knew his movements too well and was afraid of missing. His first match against his former employers was away. No transfer in football history has ever caused as much controversy as the Portuguese midfielder's world-record move from Catalonia to the Spanish capital in the summer of 2000. He was ushered off the plane by armed guards, and explained: "I felt as if in the skin of a murderer." Steve McManaman revealed he refused to sit next to his team-mate on the bus — and Carles Puyol admitted stopping Figo was his No.1 priority that night. Inside the Nou Camp, the fans created a raucous atmosphere that was reportedly louder than in any Barcelona night club that night. The home side won 2-0 — but Figo would have the last laugh. He won the Ballon d'Or and Real Madrid went onto win La Liga at a canter. The England international could have joined any club in the world when his contract at White Hart Lane expired. And, to the amazement of everyone, the chose arch-rivals, Arsenal. Campbell immediately became a hate figure in one half of North London. Tottenham baited their former star with glee from the off in their first meeting in November 2001 — with his older brother, Tony, among them. Robert Pires' goal nine minutes from time looked to have secured a winning return for Campbell. But Richard Wright's late howler gifted Gus Poyet an equaliser. Campbell would have the last laugh as he played a key role in winner the Premier League and FA Cup double. Despite rising through the Arsenal youth team, he soon became a hate figure among the Gunners faithful through his off-field attitude. Cole revealed he "nearly swerved off the road" when he heard he had only been offered £55,000-a-week. He flirted with Chelsea in a bid to persuade the Gunners to increase their proposal. Before eventually moving to Stamford Bridge for £5m with William Gallas going in the other direction. Arsenal fans waved fake £5 notes and labelled him 'Cashley' when they visited Stamford Bridge in December 2006. The vitriol clearly got to Cole, who was booked for a reckless challenge on Alexander Hleb. He missed the return to the Emirates. But an Arsenal draw ensured Manchester United won the title ahead of Cole's new employers. If ever there was a hero's welcome — this was it. Batistuta had been an icon in Florence and, despite being regarded as one of the best strikers on the planet, he stayed with club after they were relegated. He almost led them to the title in 1999, before moving to Roma in search of honours — and recently apologised for the decision. Fabio Capello's men were finally title challengers and a win against La Viola would have been most welcome. With 83 minutes on the clock, it was still 0-0. Enter Batistuta. He received the ball about 25 yards from goal, and it bounced up perfectly. The Argentine rifled home an unstoppable effort — but Batistuta refused to celebrate. As Capello and the Roma players displayed scenes of jubilation, the No.18 was moved to tears and his goal secured victory against his first love.

You called an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend twenty times during a bad break up. You texted a former roommate ten times and "threatened" him or her to pay you back money you fronted for rent. You push or even kick a former colleague with no intent to cause physical injury but he or she sustains a bruise. Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree, New York Penal Law 240.30, is probably the most common New York crime of a threatening and harassing nature and can manifest itself in relatively innocent and noncriminal ways. As your criminal attorney should know from handling many of these cases, police and detectives with the NYPD typically make an arrest leaving it up to prosecutors to sort out the credibility of the accuser, the reasons behind your alleged contacts (assuming you actually made these contacts) and the prosecutorial merit of the case. As stated in the NYDeskAppearanceTicket.Com homepage section for New York crimes of Harassment and Fear, NY PL 240.30 shares much in common with other misdemeanor offenses especially in the realm of sentencing where you can land in jail for as long as one year whether your criminal record is pages long or non existent. Ultimately, what, if any, amount of time you spend incarcerated or whether or not you are acquitted or convicted of Second Degree Aggravated Harassment is something that your criminal lawyer will provide counsel. When speaking with your attorney and preparing your defense, it is important to recognize that the subsections of Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree are varied and plentiful. The common denominator for any Desk Appearance Ticket or arrest processed through the system is in order to be guilty of PL 240.30 you must have the intent to harass, annoy, threaten or alarm another person. If the police can establish probable cause to support this intent you can be arrested. If prosecutors can prove this intent beyond a reasonable doubt, they can secure a conviction. You strike, kick or otherwise subject another person to physical contact and therefore cause a physical injury to that person or a family or household member of that person (compare this to New York Penal Law 120.00, Assault in the Third Degree). If you read these above sections carefully, you can see how easily your conduct, although "innocent" can get swept into an arrest and Desk Appearance Ticket (DAT) for PL 240.30. If your accuser is a former partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, family member or similarly related person, you won't have the luxury of a DAT, but you can find yourself locked up for 24 hours and even more. You can't get advice from a webpage or website. Advice is something that you can only obtain from a criminal lawyer or criminal attorney in New York who has handled Second Degree Aggravated Harassment cases successfully. However, a little education can go a long way. As an initial matter, always consider exercising your right to remain silence. Don't let your admission or remarks lead to the tilting of the scales in favor of law enforcement. Always be careful of what you text or email. Your reasons for contact may be subjectively reasonable, but the amount of times or harsh language can be misconstrued (and in fact, often is). Before meeting with or going to the police, contact a criminal attorney . It will likely be the best decision you will make. Don't jeopardize your career, family and future over an arrest for violating NY PL 240.30. Don't work against yourself by meeting with the police alone, signing a statement or giving them a story that can be later used against you. Don't let a misunderstanding grow into a life-altering problem.

General enrolment programs 2020 Our general enrolment programs offer individuals or small teams an opportunity to deepen their understanding of how the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 or the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities (the Charter) apply in their work, and develop skills to take back to the workplace. We aim to disrupt assumptions and challenge participants using realistic scenarios, current cases and best practice examples. Our programs are a valuable opportunity to not only learn from content experts but also work with other organisations, share practices and develop useful networks. In designing and delivering our programs, we draw on our significant functions under the Equal Opportunity Act, the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities, and the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001. As such, the Commission is uniquely placed to provide authoritative programs. All of our programs can be customised and delivered at your workplace. We tailor these programs to the specific needs of the workplace, incorporating corporate documents, policies and procedures into the sessions as well as workplace case studies the audience will connect with. Please note: General enrolment sessions with fewer than five participants may be rescheduled or cancelled with at least one week's notice. For more information please call us on (03) 9032 3467 or email [email protected]. You can also join our mailing list for calendar and training updates to receive a monthly update on upcoming sessions. Workplace equality: the Equal Opportunity Act - what you need to know Work can be fundamental to a sense of independence, financial security and participation in public life. It is vital that our workplaces foster a culture where everyone is safe, included and respected. This course addresses the rights of employees and obligations of the workplace to prevent and respond to discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying and victimisation. It helps establish a strong platform on which to build a healthy and inclusive workplace culture. acknowledge the importance of creating a positive and healthy workplace culture build confidence in identifying unlawful behaviour in the workplace under the Equal Opportunity Act explore the boundaries of what is considered a workplace pinpoint responsibility for unlawful conduct navigate options for resolving workplace issues and complaints consider actions that a bystander can take to foster a healthy workplace culture. This program is ideally suited to all employers and employees. Cost: $396 inc. GST Time: 9.30am - 12.30pm (3 hours) Location: Level 3, 204 Lygon Street, Carlton Workplace equality: the Equal Opportunity Act for unions and industrial advocates Learn about discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying and victimisation and how the Equal Opportunity Act helps build workplace equality. This full-day workshop will provide union delegates and industrial staff with greater confidence to identify unlawful behaviours and take action to address them through the dispute resolution service and other functions. identify unlawful conduct: discrimination, sexual harassment and victimisation, and the requirement to take reasonable precautions to prevent this conduct under the Equal Opportunity Act understand how Victorian equal opportunity law interacts with other key laws and legal processes that address workplace equality issues. take effective action to prevent and respond to unlawful behaviours in the workplace use external complaint making options and the Commission's dispute resolution service identify a range of remedies and outcomes available under the law, and other key Commission functions. This program is specifically designed for industrial advocates, organisers and union delegates/ representatives Time: 10.00am - 4.00pm (five hours with one-hour break) Location: Training Rooms, Level 3, 204 Lygon Street, Carlton Workplace equality: preventing and responding to sexual harassment Sexual harassment causes harm and is against the law. In order to eliminate sexual harassment from our workplace, everyone needs to understand where the law draws a line at unlawful conduct. This program breaks down what conduct amounts to sexual harassment in the workplace under the Equal Opportunity Act. It considers action that can be taken prevent and respond to sexual harassment to build respectful workplaces where all staff are safe. understand what conduct amounts to sexual harassment under the Equal Opportunity Act and practise recognising sexual harassment pinpoint responsibility for sexual harassment explore options for resolving complaints of sexual harassment consider actions that a bystander can take to address sexual harassment in the workplace and how this influences workplace culture. Time: 9.30am - 12.30pm (three hours) Equality in sport: Trans and gender diverse inclusion Sporting clubs and organisations must be inclusive towards trans and gender diverse people and know what they need to do to protect and respect all people.

By the time you read this, Memorial Day will have passed, although I fear many of us will not have seized the opportunity to mark the day in somber and reflective fashion. Unfortunately, Memorial Day has grown to mark the start of summer, beach going, and shopping – with discounted sales on everything from furniture to carpet and from computer-related gear to outdoor grills. While we observe Memorial Day and other national holidays, it's vital we make contact with the meaning and context of the observance. It is our history, our culture, our way of life, and therefore our duty as citizens to remember. To do less, is to slowly surrender our birthright as Americans and not only accept but encourage the dismantling of our heritage and traditions that make Memorial Day possible.

As a company that helps our valued customers convert their 8mm film to DVD, we feel that preserving the past and bringing it into the future is essential. When it comes to the world of cinema, we are always excited when we hear about old films being updated (except perhaps with the exception of Star Wars!) and being renovated to have a contemporary feel. With recent news that the BFG has been shot in Scotland and is to be brought up to date with a live action remake, we thought we would take a look into the future and have a gander at all of the exciting developments in the world of live action cinema. So, grab your popcorn and rest your feet on the chair in front as we provide you with a few live action cinematic tit-bits to eagerly anticipate! The Pinocchio book is actually public domain, meaning you could even put on your best director face and give it a go. Until then… The Adventures of Pinocchio has been scripted by Peter Hedges and is said to follow the original novel as closely as possible. Another one to anticipate is the seemingly darker adaption by Guillermo del Toro which could prove to be a little more up the street of those who liked Maleficent or even Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, this live action remake is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the coming year. Totalling around $95 million to make, the film is expected to hit our UK silver screens on the 27th March. We can't wait! When you think of Disney your mind doesn't automatically drift towards Mulan as one of its greatest creations despite the original making a whopping $304 million worldwide. The live action remake is set to make an appearance in 2017, and whilst the cast is as yet unannounced, fans have taken to Twitter to ask for the casting of Mulan's original voice actress as her live action reinvention. With news that Tim Burton is at the helm of Dumbo's live action remake, we have a feeling that the above list of films may well be the best pick for the coming years! It's nice to see that Hollywood understands the importance of bringing the past into the future – let's just hope for more of a Mad Max situation over a Star Wars one, ey! If you would like to bring your past into the future and protect your precious memories, don't hesitate to contact us on 0800 592433 where you can have a chat with one of our friendly experts and we can help transfer your home videos to DVD.

LIFESTYLE | 7 Luxurious Hotels Loved By Royalty Posted on July 20, 2019 by Arabia5AM in EMIRATES, LIFESTYLE, MIDDLE EAST, TRAVEL, United Arab Emirates, WORLD NEWS From the British Windsor to the Aga Khan to Monaco's House of Gromaldi, privacy and discretion is paramount for royals when traveling. First-class hospitality , personalized service and luxury amenities are also essential, so it takes a truly remarkable hotel to capture their hearts. With far-flung and glamorous destinations from Grenada to Gastaad on their radar, and private jets at their disposable, the world is their oyster. Travel in the royals's regal footsteps with seven of their favorite place to stay: CLIVEDEN HOUSE, UK The former home of several Dukes and the Viscount Astors, Cliveden House is now most closely associated with the Duchess of Sussex; U.S. actress Meghan Markle stayed with her mother Doria Ragland the night before her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Previously royal guest over the years include Queen Victoria, King Edward VII and Queen Elizabeth II. The Berkshire estate, which boasts a chequered history of scandalous affairs among the jet-set elite, most famously the notorious Profumo Affair of 1961, is now enjoying a new lease of life as a sumptuous country hotel after being sold to the National Trust in 1985. All 48 rooms and suits are named after a prominent figure from Cliveden's past with the décor to march. One of the finest option is The Lady Astor, complete with a huge canopy bed and decadent upholstered velvet furniture. GASTAAD PALACE, SWITZERLAND Gstaad has long been synonymous with the international jet set and no other five-star bolthole is more loved than the legendary Gstaad Palace. Opened by the Scherz family in 1913, the Monegasque royals are loyal patrons. Having visited for decades with Princess Grace, Prince Ranier and their children – including their son and reigning monarch Prince Albert II – the Monegasque royals frequented the carpeted corridors during their annual winter ski vacations. Following the family tradition, Princess Grace's grandson Andrea Casiraghi chose the castle-like retreat set against the majestic backdrop of the Swiss Alps to celebrate his wedding to U.S.-born Colombian heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo in 2014. Combining alpine glamour and impeccable hospitality, other royal guests include, Princess Diana, King Hussein of Jordan, Queen Anne-Marie of Greece and the Aga Khan. SPICE ISLAND BEACH RESORT, GRENADA The Spice Island Beach Resort is an institution in Grenada so it's no surprise it has won a number of royal fans (as well as countless awards) over the years. During their 2019 Caribbean tour, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall chose the contemporary hideaway, where they stayed in the palatial Royal Cinnamon suite with floating four-poster bed and en-suite bathroom boasting views of the ocean. Perfectly nestled on the island's coveted Grand Anse Beach, owner Royston Hopkin, who runs it with his family, has been welcoming the British royals for years. Queen Elizabeth II visited on her first Caribbean tour in 1966, Princes Anne has stayed twice, and Prince Harry tried the homemade avocado ice cream that his grandmother had sampled all those years ago. CHEVAL BLANC RANDHELI, MALDIVES Cheval Blanc is renowned for welcoming A-list guest to its famed outposts around the world. Those craving privacy in paradise head to Randheli Island in the Maldives. Managed by French luxury goods empire Moet Hennessy – Louis Vuitton (LVMH) and designed by one of the world's leading architects Jean-Michel Gathy, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed a romantic break here just months after it opened in November 2013. The couple stayed on the two-acre "Private Island", the pinnacle of luxe escapism. Complete with four bedrooms, personal overwater spa, a sleek 25-meter pool, and a dedicated team of butlers, valets and chefs, who magically appear by boat, it's an extravagant Miami –style villa for VIPs to enjoy all the luxurious of five-star resort away from prying eyes. KAMPALA SERENA HOTEL, UGANDA Uganda, fondly known as the Pearl of Africa, has been welcoming royal dignitaries for years with Kampala Serena Hotel hosting the likes of the Prince Akishino and Princess Kiki of Japan, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, Princess Zahra Aga Khan, and Mswati, King of Eswatini and head of the Swazi royal family. Surrounded by 17 acres of manicured water gardens, the resort is a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of Uganda's vibrant capital, Kampala. With architecture and design influenced by the country's cultural and natural heritage, the 188 guests rooms and suits are elegantly furnished boosting an impressive collection by local artisans. High-profile guest praise the exceptional service, as it's impossible to leave this much-loved flagship Serena resort without being enchanted by the genuine warmth of Uganda hospitality. TIVOLI PALACIO DE SETEAIS, PORTUGAL Once the summer retreat of the Portuguese royal family, this 18th-century palace has enjoyed long-established links with aristocratic guest who came to relax and rejuvenate in the charming hills of Sintra. Since 1955 it's been enjoying its latest incarnation as a boutique hotel with just 30 rooms, all which have an unmistakable air of romance with four-poster beds, elaborate tapestries and frescoes of remarkable beauty. There's a rare Steingraeber grand piano in the lobby, a postcard-worthy swimming pool framed against the rolling Sintra mountains and visiting peacocks from the princess who lives next door. A perfect balance between elegance and excellent service, it's welcomed King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima from The Netherlands, as well as pop royalty – the queenly Madonna – in recent years. EMIRATES PALACE, UAE Sun, sea and unparalleled luxury can be found at Abu Dhabi's spectacular Emirates Palace, which opened in 2005 to the reported tune US $1billion. Dripping with gold, its 394 elaborate residence with palatial marble bathrooms are a blend of Arabian splendor and state of the art mod cons. The Palace Suites are exclusively reserved for dignitaries, who often arrive under a veil of secrecy, landing at one one of the resort's two helipads. Beloved by Middle East royals, guests have included UAE President and ruler of Abdu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa Al Nahyan, all Gulf Cooperation Council Heads of States and Queen Rania of Jordan. It seems no request is impossible at Emirates Palace, where pampered quests can expect 24/7 butler service, access to an expansive private beach and opulent spa, as well as 24-karat gold-flaked cappuccinos.

Sensing Core technology is the evolution of Sumitomo Rubber's previously introduced DWS (Deflation Warning System), which analyzes wheel speed signals from the rotation of tyres to detect and notify the driver of decreases in tyre air pressure. The new system eliminates the need for additional, dedicated sensors by utilizing software to detect tire pressure directly from existing wheel speed signals. The new method reduces installation cost and eliminates maintenance, according to the tyre maker. Sensing Core uses a proprietary algorithm to detect information and share it with the driver and the vehicle itself. By analyzing and performing statistical processing of wheel speed signals, the system is able to detect decreases in tyre air pressure and estimate road conditions (slipperiness), the load applied to each tyre and other information in real time.

Centrolene heloderma is a species of frog in the family Centrolenidae from the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. It is also known as Pichincha giant glass frog or bumpy glassfrog. Distribution In Colombia it has been recorded from the western slopes of the Cordillera Occidental, in the Cauca, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca Departments. In Ecuador it has been recorded from the western Andes in the Pichincha and Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas Provinces. Description Centrolene heloderma are small frogs (although among the generally small Centrolene, they are relatively large): males measure in snout–vent length and females (based on one frog only). It has uniformly green dorsum covered with whitish tubercles. Its snout has a characteristic obtuse profile. Females lay clutches up to 29 eggs on the upper side of leaves and very high from the water level. Upon hatching, the tadpoles drop down and develop in fast-flowing water. Habitat and conservation Centrolene heloderma inhabits the upper elevations of cloud forest, and is only found in mature forest. It is an uncommon frog that is active at night and difficult to see. However, males can be heard calling from the vegetation near streams and waterfalls. In Ecuador Centrolene heloderma has disappeared from two known locations (including the type locality where it was last seen in 1979) and is now only known from one location. In Colombia it was last recorded in 1996. Its disappearance has been attributed to changing climatic patterns, with habitat loss, alien predatory fish, pollution, and chytridiomycosis as other potential contributing factors.

IaaS is the first tier of a triad of outsourced cloud services. The top two are PaaS (platform as a service) and SaaS (software as a service). Each "…aaS" involves the customer's doing less work and the cloud provider taking on more responsibilities for the organization's IT load. As the first level of cloud services, IaaS is a resource that provides the servers and storage and the necessary networking and system virtualization. IaaS customers run their own system and business applications. They maintain their proprietary data, manage their software runtime and tend to their middleware requirements. PaaS and SaaS providers do more and obviously charge more. The highest tier, SaaS, provides everything from application and data management and everything in between its servers and customers. IaaS is also known as HaaS (hardware as a service). Essentially it includes outsourcing all the physical computers that do the processing and storage of the locally maintained systems. IaaS can be a major cost savings to an organization by providing additional on-demand computing capacity without further hardware investment. The aforementioned scalability of IaaS makes it an ideal resource for an organization that may be experiencing a temporarily seasonably high workload. Small to mid-size businesses could rely on an IaaS provider to support a steady growth in demand as business expands. As computer equipment ages, it falls behind IT advances. Likewise, existing equipment might be underutilized in storage and computing potential. Hardware maintenance and replacement and the high cost of space and energy also add to the organization's IT spend. Shifting the hardware infrastructure to the cloud can significantly reduce those costs. Read this article by Greg Deckler, and see how employing IaaS can save up to 30% in overall IT costs. A significant benefit of IaaS is that its supporting hardware is located off-site and accessible from any place there is internet access. IaaS cloud providers typically locate their facilities at multiple locations and at points close to their customers. The latter reduces latency; the former rules out a single point of failure. System failure through equipment or human error, as well as natural disasters, are inevitable business survivability risks. IaaS locates the crucial part of your IT offsite. Recovering your IT infrastructure is the first step—i.e., disaster recovery—in the business continuity planning. IaaS means that the equipment you rely on for supply, inventory, and customer processing is protected from loss or destruction. IaaS is the first level of an array of cloud services. If your on-premises servers and supporting hardware are beginning to age, lag, or are underutilized, consider IaaS in your plans for modernization and expansion.

While we may have a year to prepare before a property tax and water charges are introduced and in full swing by the end of 2011, 2010 is not immune and householders will not escape the brunt of more charges. Property Barometer: Outlook for the market in 2010? Household water charges the cure to the water crisis? As water supplies across the country remain at critically low levels, authorities last night warned that water supplies in some parts of the country may not be back to normal for several months. President of the IAVI Aine Myler and MyHome.ie Paul Murgatroyd discussed whether we are at the bottom of the property price market on TV3s Morning Ireland. Why get one? Draught excluders are a quick, easy and a cost effective method to reduce heat loss and help to retain heat in the rooms of your house. They stop the cold air from the outside creeping in and a help prevent those draughts circulating. The New Year Snow: Who should be clearing the way? Many reports have surfaced that taxis and buses will not travel into certain residential areas, estates or driveways due to the snow and icy conditions which make for unsafe driving; and who would blame them? No one wants to risk or endanger lives or their vehicle.

The Walking Dead star Pollyanna McIntosh has shot down speculation Jadis-slash-Anne's rescue of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) is part of a feverish coma dream. Questioned at Walker Stalker Con New Jersey about the 'A' and 'B' classification system used to categorize Rick, Father Gabriel (Seth Gillaim) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), McIntosh confirmed the future reveal will not be a fake out. "I've heard some great theories. I even had a theory from a fan the other day that it was a blood type, which is a very cool one," McIntosh said. A bloodied and hallucinating Rick, suffering from a gaping wound after a run-in with a piece of rebar, experienced multiple visions and heard the voices of past figures, including good friend Morgan (Lennie James), who the theory argues is a first responder. "And that really it's just us standing over him and he's created this whole coma dream," McIntosh said. The trope most famously played out in soap opera Dallas, which killed off Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) before having him later emerge from a shower alive — revealing his death and subsequent events belonged to a dream imagined by wife Pam (Victoria Principal). Other theories floated to McIntosh include a potential jump over to spinoff Fear the Walking Dead, set in the west, or ties to the Commonwealth, a sizable community now playing a major role in the ongoing comic books. "I've heard some amazing fan theories. I've heard some fan theories that him being passed out in the helicopter, that some naughtiness is going to be going on," McIntosh said. McIntosh will next return alongside Lincoln in the first Walking Dead movie, set to explore where Anne transported Rick via helicopter and bring answers surrounding the 'A' and 'B' classification system. The Walking Dead Season Nine returns with new episodes Sunday, February 10 on AMC.

- Datalab Education report commissioned by the Gatsby Foundation, indicates paying early-career science and maths teachers a 5% salary supplement would eliminate the teacher shortage for these subjects in English Secondary schools. - Institute of Fiscal Studies report: physics teachers leave the teaching profession to a greater extent than teachers of other subjects – policy focused on retention rather than training would be the most cost effective. Gatsby has today released two reports suggesting that an education policy with a distinct focus on retention would be more cost effective than current Government policy focusing on the recruitment and training of new teachers. The first Gatsby commissioned report, by Education Datalab, shows that shortages of secondary maths and science teachers could have been eliminated with a modest 5% salary supplement during the initial five years of their careers. For many years English Secondary schools have had difficulty recruiting teachers across maths, science, modern languages and computer science. This is further compounded by increasing numbers leaving the profession, leading to an increasing teacher shortage. Whilst there are many reasons teachers leave the classroom, the pay differential between graduate roles available in teaching and those in non-teaching roles in the private sector could explain low retention of maths and science teachers in the early stages of their career. An effective and sustainable course of action would be for Government to increase the pay of shortage-subject teachers directly. The simulation in this research shows that a salary supplement policy would have eliminated the teacher shortage, and at a lower cost than simply recruiting more teachers. The second report produced by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), and funded by Gatsby, suggests the issue is even more pronounced with physics teacher retention. Just 3% of physics graduates enter teaching within the first few years of graduation, comparted to 12% of maths graduates. 40% of physics graduates who teach immediately after graduation leave the profession within three-and-a-half years. Our research demonstrates that the retention of physics teachers is an acute problem and that we urgently need to devise pay and non-pay related strategies to address this. Data analysis also shows that schools with full pay autonomy may not be using it to increase the salaries of physics teachers. This could be due to an aversion to within-school pay inequality, or a result of the effects of an overall squeeze on state school funding. At present, with a high staff turnover and low recruitment of maths and science teachers, state schools, particularly in economically-deprived areas, are finding themselves having to rely on inexperienced staff. Hopefully, these reports will trigger a long-overdue debate – should we implement a modest salary supplement to maths and science teachers in the early stage of their careers, or continue to have a shortage of teachers in these core subjects? That is the question we face, and it's time we sought an answer. Ensuring a supply of high-quality, experienced teachers should be a priority for education policy-makers so we can provide a robust science and maths education for all, irrespective of background or economic circumstance.

A Code of Conduct for Over the Air March 8, 2015 March 9, 2015 Daniel Appelquist I have never felt excluded, harassed or threatened at a tech conference or hack. But I'm also not a member of a minority or otherwise marginalized group in technology. I'm a white male living in western Europe. So when it comes to promoting diversity and inclusiveness, I am out on a limb and I recognize this. It doesn't stop me from working as hard as I can to ensure that the endeavors I'm involved in are as diverse and inclusive as possible. These days we are all doing a lot of hand-wringing about diversity in STEM, diversity in technology conferences, diversity in technology education, diversity in the technical standards community. I can't think of a single thing I'm involved with in which the topic of diversity (usually but not always primarily gender diversity) has not come up, and rightly so. I personally believe that we all hold biases (for example, the much talked about mirrortocracy of Silicon Valley) and that we all need to work hard to overcome these biases. At Over the Air we try to put together a diverse set of speakers which we believe helps to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. Another concrete action we have taken this year to promote inclusiveness is to put in place a code of conduct for our event. We have done this in a very webby and open source way by explicitly referencing the Hack Code of Conduct, a document that has been developed and signed by a number of hack event organizers from all over the world. We intend to run our next event and future events according to this code and to make sure the code is visible and understood by participants, our staff, our venue and our sponsors. When I announced this on Twitter, I was immediately asked "Why are you doing this? Have you had problems in the past?" The answer, thankfully, is mostly no. Our attendees have largely been positive and respectful of each other and we appreciate that. Of course, there may have been problems at our past events which went unreported or which were reported but went unrecognized. We think having a clear code of conduct will help to set the baseline behavior our event and we don't see any problem with stating this up front. Quite the opposite. In 2013 we actually did have a problem where a disabled attendee was denied access to disabled parking (effectively turned away) by venue security staff. Would a code of conduct have helped in this case? It's not clear, but making clear the existence and nature of such a code up front may have led to more awareness of these issues which may have prevented this incident from taking place. Our event brings together people from many backgrounds and bunches them together in a confined space over-night, sharing shower and toilet facilities. And beer. It's not inconceivable that inappropriate behavior could result. What this code of conduct does is to make it clear that disrespectful behavior, behavior that makes anyone feel uncomfortable or harassed, is not acceptable and will result in you getting chucked out of the event. Just something to keep in mind. Ashe's Dryden's Codes of Conduct 101 + FAQ post was very influential in my thinking on this. In fact, reading Ashe's post changed my thinking from "I don't think we need one, but we'd better have one anyway" to "we need one and we need to be very clear about it." I particularly like her answer to the question "If I suddenly put up a Code of Conduct won't people think we've had incidents and feel unsafe?" I strongly suggest giving this a read. I would also like to give credit to Soledad Penadés, Linda Sandvik and FJ van Wingerde who have all done a lot of tweeting and blogging on this topic as well as encouraging diversity in tech.

Posted inSports 'The Eli Boom' transformed Oxford and was on display when Manning's No. 10 was retired this weekend by Rick Cleveland October 22, 2021 October 24, 2021 Ole Miss will pay tribute to Eli Manning this weekend, retiring his No. 10 jersey during ceremonies at the LSU-Ole Miss game. (Photo: Ole Miss Athletics) In Oxford, they call it "The Eli Boom." In 2000, the year Eli Manning joined the Ole Miss football varsity, the population of Oxford was 13,572. In 2010, the next Census year, Oxford had grown by a remarkable 40% rate to nearly 19,000. What's more, the real estate market soared. Ole Miss alums bought second homes there. The condo market exploded. Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill graduated from Ole Miss in 1992 and has remained in Oxford ever since. She witnessed it all. "Oxford's population and real estate market took off during the Eli years, no doubt about it," Tannehill said. "The years Eli was at Ole Miss were some of Oxford's greatest years for growth an economic prosperity. The numbers are amazing. The trajectory, thankfully, has continued." Jackson lawyer Fred Krutz once told the story of shopping for an Oxford condo Eli's freshman year. He found one he really liked. "I told the realtor it was just what I wanted but I thought the price was too steep for a little place like Oxford. She told me, 'If that Manning kid is as good as they say he is, real estate prices in Oxford are fixing to go off the charts.'" Rick Cleveland Krutz continued, "Turns out, she was right." Back then, it seemed every kid in Oxford or at any Ole Miss sporting event wore a Rebel jersey, number 10. Ole Miss will pay tribute to Manning when that jersey number is retired Saturday evening during ceremonies at the LSU-Ole Miss game. He was inducted into the Ole Miss M Club Alumni Hall of Fame in ceremonies on Thursday night. Oxford is hardly recognizable from the pre-Eli days. Count Archie Manning, Eli's father, among those amazed at the transition. "It's not the sleepy little college town I remember from my college days, that's for sure," the elder Manning said Thursday morning. "I don't know how much Eli had to do with all the growth, but I do know he loved his time here, just like I did. "Eli doesn't get real excited about anything, but he is excited about this weekend." Ole Miss has honored Eli Manning for this weekend's festivities by painting his name in the end zones. (Photo: Ole Miss Athletics) Eli Manning met his wife, the former Abby McGrew, in Oxford. They returned to Oxford Thursday, bringing their four children in tow. Although they live in the New York area, they retain an Oxford home. Archie and Olivia Manning still have a condo on University Avenue. Certainly not all the Oxford growth is due to Archie's and Olivia's youngest son. Says real estate developer Campbell McCool, "I really believe the fuse was lit when Robert Khayat became chancellor in 1995. The Eli years poured gasoline on the flame. Oxford exploded." Ole Miss never won a conference championship during the Eli years. He did lead the Rebels to 24 victories in three seasons as the starter and set 45 school records. He capped off his college career with an almost perfect, MVP performance in a Cotton Bowl victory. He was a first team All American and finished third in Heisman Trophy voting. But those numbers don't tell why he became such a beloved Ole Miss legend. As was the case with his father, some of Eli's greatest, most valiant performances came in defeat — such as the time, as a sophomore, he threw for seven touchdowns against Arkansas in a losing cause. Peyton Manning, left, Eli Manning, and Cooper Manning on the field as their dad Archie's No. 18 was retired in Oxford. (Photo: Ole Miss Athletics) Khayat, now retired, once told me why he believed Eli Manning has become such a beloved icon at Ole Miss. It wasn't just his on field accomplishments or the two Super Bowl MVP trophies he won with the New York Giants. It wasn't just the fact that Ole Miss season ticket sales increased 61% — or $5 million per year — during Eli's college career. "It's the image he projects: wholesome, honorable, intelligent, humble," Khayat said. "And it's not just an image. That's Eli. He's the quintessential student-athlete. Every college wishes it had an Eli Manning. We were so fortunate to have him at Ole Miss." Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, where Eli will be honored Saturday evening, underwent a 10,000-seat, $25 million expansion during No. 10's time there. That's when Ole Miss began construction on the the indoor performance facility, now known as The Manning Center, for Archie and Olivia Manning. Eventually, all that might have happened anyway. It wouldn't have happened nearly so fast had it not been for Eli Manning. This weekend's ceremonies coincide with the notable recruiting visit to Ole Miss of a football prospect named Arch Manning, Archie's grandson, Cooper Manning's son, Eli's nephew and the No. 1 recruit nationally in the class of 2023. Coincidence? Certainly not. "I have no idea where Arch is going and I try to stay out of it," Archie Manning said. "But I am happy it works out that he will be here this weekend for his uncle." by Rick Cleveland, Mississippi Today <h1>'The Eli Boom' transformed Oxford and was on display when Manning's No. 10 was retired this weekend</h1> <p class="byline">by Rick Cleveland, Mississippi Today <br />October 22, 2021</p> <p>In Oxford, they call it "The Eli Boom."</p> <p>In 2000, the year Eli Manning joined the Ole Miss football varsity, the population of Oxford was 13,572.

Jerusalem Post Blog Home Jewish Sex and the City Leopards don't change their spots By TOGOTESMAN SCHNEIER MAY 2, 2011 12:29 And so it is with people as well... Although we''d like to believe that the human spirit itself... can be ALTERED, CHANGED, REJIGGERED... the reality is that BEHAVIOR can change, but the essence of a person remains solidly in place, regardless of whether it''s a good or a bad thing... For instance, a woman recently said to me that she NOW had FOUND HER ESSENCE... through religion actually... My response was that a person''s ESSENCE is ALWAYS THERE... that we don''t FIND OUR ESSENCE... but rather... that we ARE our essence... She went on to say that "She used to have a LIFE, but now she''d found HIGHER PURPOSE" Sorry, guys... But, SERIOUSLY? Do we actually believe that GOD doesn''t WANT US to have a LIFE? What she MEANT was that she had embraced religion SO TIGHTLY... SO NON-NEGOTIABLY... and CLEARLY without ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE or INFORMATION... that she''d COMPLETELY lost the POINT of the whole thing... Am I making sense? I walked away, shaking my head... Frustrated...EXASPERATED... these ROBOTs..... What''s up with them? I wanted to tell her that OUR GOD is a merciful one... The HE understands us... But the words would''ve been wasted.... Ehhhh... Onward, Troops!

You may have found yourself wanting to make an interior design change that will make your home feel cozy and inviting. Luckily, this article is going to prove to be of great help. Find what you looking for by reading on. When designing a room, you must define the mood you are looking for. Because of this, you need to think about a mood you want to convey when selecting the items that are going to be in your rooms. If you are hoping to find relaxation in the room, for instance, then stick to colors that evoke warmth and subtlety. Invest in great artwork for a classy look. Though you may not be a connoisseur of art, the addition of the right piece or two can really complete the room. Often, this piece of art can be the focus from which you design the room around. Choosing the correct color scheme for your room is very important. Make sure you choose colors that will go together to give your room an overall great look. Overuse of bold colors can create a room that is too loud. As you design your office area, functionality is the rule to follow. Lighting is very important to a work space, as is a comfortable desk and chair. Even though the space needs to be one conducive to working, it should also be visually pleasing. Design your child's room by looking at things from their perspective. Keep in mind that a child does not see a room in the same way that you see it. It's important to use furniture and items that are made for a child's height and easy to access with their small hands. Try to get a look at the room from a child's perspective and eliminate anything that would cause problems. Making a small space appear larger is a design goal of many interior decorating projects. If you want to create a look of space in a room, try using lighter colors to paint the walls. Dark colors absorb available light and can close a space off. Lighting is crucial in any home. It creates atmosphere. Brighter lights give off a better impression to people. So try to find a balance between bright lighting and dark colors to compliment them. Master bedrooms and living areas are typically outfitted with more subdued, subtle lighting; a dimmer switch is ideal for these areas. Do not be afraid to get creative when painting a room. Online databases can help you figure out how to find ways to design the interior of your home. Adding an extra special touch while painting can give your space just the extra edge that it needs to stand out from the crowd. Using accessories can be a simple way to give any room a whole new look. Replacement lighting fixtures and ceramic pieces can upgrade the look of your room. Insert some new curtains or towels into a space. Small solutions likes these make your rooms give off a fresh vibe and will not be costly at all. Low Country Living: Are you Ready for Island Life?

Some cautious, many fed up, Americans prepare to ring in the New Year Friday, 31 December 2021 15:28 GMT About our Humanitarian Crises coverage From major disaster, conflicts and under-reported stories, we shine a light on the world's hotspots (Adds hyperlink in paragraph 8) By Brad Brooks Dec 31 (Reuters) - Dana Fenner's hands were full of New Year's Eve hats and horns as she perused an aisle at a Party City store in Texas, not hesitating for a second when asked about her hopes for 2022. "Normalcy. I want everything to get back to normal," Fenner said, as she shopped for the low-key, homespun festivities that she, her husband and three children planned on Friday. Pandemic-weary Americans shared Fenner's desire as they prepared to send off 2021 amid a sharp increase in coronavirus cases as the Omicron variant rapidly spreads https://www.reuters.com/world/us/experts-warn-omicron-blizzard-disrupt-us-next-month-2021-12-30 and pushes the U.S. to record case levels. In some spots, including Los Angeles, the latest virus wave shattered official New Year's Eve bash plans. But New York and several other cities say the party will go on, even if in a curtailed fashion. New York City's bash - the biggest and most iconic in the United States - will once again be carried out in a scaled-down way https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-york-city-scale-down-new-years-eve-celebrations-times-square-2021-12-23, city officials said. But it will be far larger than a year ago when only a few dozen people https://www.reuters.com/world/us/after-year-like-no-other-new-yorks-times-square-empties-out-new-years-eve-2020-12-31 were invited to watch the ball drop in Times Square. For decades, partygoers have filled the streets around Times Square on New Year's Eve, standing for hours in the cold waiting to see a glittering crystal ball glide down a pole mounted atop a building in the year's final seconds. When the ball reaches the bottom, the crowds erupt in hugs, kisses and good cheer. About 15,000 people who show proof of full vaccination will be allowed inside a fenced area to witness the ball drop this year - about a fourth of a pre-pandemic year. But it's still a world away from where the city was a year ago, said Paul Warshaw, a co-founder of balldrop.com https://www.balldrop.com, who has spent two decades producing parties largely focused on New Year's Eve celebrations. After having no events last year, Warshaw said that he's producing about 40 events catering to upward of 25,000 people on Friday in New York. That's in line with pre-pandemic levels. "There is a good amount of excitement, though people are proceeding with caution," Warshaw said, stressing that all his indoor events would adhere to strict proof-of-vaccination and other safety policies. Top U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci urged people to avoid large gatherings to celebrate the arrival of 2022. Speaking on CNN this week, Fauci told people to stay away from big parties, saying "there will be other years to do that, but not this year." Fauci said family gatherings of people who are vaccinated and had received the booster shot were safe. Chris Beyrer, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said stubbornly low levels of vaccine coverage in the U.S., which stand at about 63% fully vaccinated, make this New Year's Eve far more dangerous than it should have to be. "It's one of the coldest times of the year, so that means the celebrations are happening inside," he said. "And it's those indoor celebrations that we worry about, especially those mixing generations." Adding to the worry, Beyrer said, are the frustratingly inadequate levels of testing available for people who want to take one to ensure parties they host or attend are as safe as possible. Despite a livelier atmosphere this year as compared to a year ago, the realities of the Omicron wave of cases has hit some cities and high-level names hard. Los Angeles earlier this month reversed plans for an outdoor countdown party in Grand Park, opting to stream the celebration for the second year in a row. Rapper LL Cool J on Wednesday said he had tested positive for COVID-19 and had to step down as a headliner on ABC's annual ball drop show, "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest." And TMZ reported this week that Sean "Diddy" Combs had canceled his star-studded bash in Miami, telling 500 invitees that coronavirus made it an untenable party for the second straight year.

Home / Newsroom / SGF Jones Institute celebrates 40 years of IVF in the U.S. SGF Jones Institute celebrates 40 years of IVF in the U.S. As Elizabeth Carr, the first baby born via IVF in the United States turns 40, SGF Jones Institute celebrates remarkable achievements in reproductive medicine. Norfolk, VA – On this day 40 years ago, the Jones Institute welcomed Elizabeth Carr, the first baby born from in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the United States, as a result of pioneering reproductive medicine. The Jones Institute's dedication to groundbreaking research, advancement in reproductive technologies, and premier patient care with comprehensive fertility services continue at Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) Jones Institute. Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones joined the Eastern Virginia Medical School in 1978 to develop IVF in the United States upon news of the world's first baby to be conceived via IVF, Louise Brown, on July 25, 1978, in England. In July 2021, the Eastern Virginia Medical School Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine (EVMS Jones Institute) transitioned all patient care to SGF Jones Institute. "Reflecting on the history of Jones Institute brings about such a sense of pride for how many families have been made possible through IVF," shares Tarita Pakrashi, M.D., M.P.H., who was the first physician to offer patient care as part of the SGF Jones Institute transition. "SGF Jones Institute is dedicated to all of our patients and is always happy to celebrate the many successes of reproductive medicine." Carr reflects on the IVF process in a video on the Eastern Virginia Medical School website saying, "I remember distinctly Dr. Georgeanna Jones saying, 'it's just a sperm and an egg fertilized in a petri dish and nine months later, out you came.' It seems so simple although it's highly technical." She went on to continue about her relationship with Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones, "The two of them, separately, were both incredible doctors, but together as a pair, they were really a powerhouse … how can you not feel passionate about a technology that helped you come into the world?" SGF Jones Institute continues innovation in reproductive medicine Since summer 2021, SGF Jones Institute has become the home base for the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellowship program, for which Nicole Banks, M.D., is the Associate Program Director. SGF Jones Institute is proud to continue the legacy of Drs. Howard and Georgeanna Jones, founders of the EVMS Jones Institute, through training the next generation of fertility specialists in innovative, compassionate fertility care. "Treating infertility begins with excellent training in reproductive medicine," shares Dr. Banks. "At SGF Jones Institute, we are proud to be at the forefront of bringing up the next generation of leaders in fertility care."

Restoration of lapsed patents 28.-(1) Where a patent has ceased to have effect by reason of a failure to pay any renewal fee, an application for the restoration of the patent may be made to the comptroller within the prescribed period [Rule 40: 13 full months after section 25(4) period]. (1A) Rules prescribing that period may contain such transitional provisions and savings as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient. (2) An application under this section may be made by the person who was the proprietor of the patent or by any other person who would have been entitled to the patent if it had not ceased to have effect; and where the patent was held by two or more persons jointly, the application may, with the leave of the comptroller, be made by one or more of them without joining the others. (2A) Notice of the application shall be published by the comptroller in the prescribed manner. (3) If the comptroller is satisfied that the failure of the proprietor of the patent - (a) to pay the renewal fee within the prescribed period; or (b) to pay that fee and any prescribed additional fee within the period ending with the sixth month after the month in which the prescribed period ended, was unintentional, the comptroller shall by order restore the patent on payment of any unpaid renewal fee and any prescribed additional fee. (4) An order under this section may be made subject to such conditions as the comptroller thinks fit (including a condition requiring compliance with any provisions of the rules relating to registration which have not been complied with), and if the proprietor of the patent does not comply with any condition of such an order the comptroller may revoke the order and give such directions consequential on the revocation as he thinks fit.
