text: US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin landed in Israel today and met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a working meeting. In his opening greeting, Mnuchin said, "We don't have a better partner in the region than Israel." "Only in the region?," Netanyahu replied jokingly, "in the entire world… but the truth is that the United States is Israel's most important partner in the world." Yesterday, Mnuchin visited Saudi Arabia at the beginning of a round of meetings with Middle East finance ministers. On Saturday night, after his meetings in Jerusalem, Mnuchin will leave for Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. The US treasury secretary is extremely important to the Israeli government, as under Treasury Department guidelines US administrations have for many years conducted sanctions. Several anti-terror laws enable the US treasury secretary to sign orders declaring financial institutions, commercial companies, and even private individuals, barred from entry to the US or from doing business with US companies. A US Treasury Department statement said that Mnuchin's visit was a continuation of the visit by US President Donald Trump to Israel in May, after Trump announced the setting up of the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center. Mnuchin is accompanied by Undersecretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelker, and senior Treasury Department staff specializing in financing of terrorism.

Firm achieves 98% client satisfaction rating in 2012
Throughout 2012, we received 96 completed feedback forms and we're delighted with what you've told us. As well as achieving an overall client satisfaction rating of 98% (for which you were 'very satisfied' or 'fairly satisfied'), you told us that:
– 90% of you were 'very satisfied' with your legal representation
– 92% of you were 'very satisfied' with our treatment of you as a client
– 90% of you were 'very satisfied' with our level of knowledge and expertise
It's no secret that predicting the cost of legal advice can be difficult, but when it came to transparency of fees, 93% of you were 'very satisfied' or 'fairly satisfied' that we outlined our costs to you at the start of the process.
89% of you also told us you were 'very' or 'fairly satisfied' that we delivered value for money.
Overall, 98% of all respondents would recommend us to others and 96% would use us again.
Chris Miller, Managing Partner, says of the feedback:
"Providing great client service is absolutely fundamental to everything we do, so our clients' perception really matters to us. We always ask for feedback – both positive and negative – and use it to continually improve the service we provide.
As well as recommending us to family and friends, many of our clients use our services time and time again, so it's good to know that we're doing so many things right!"
Last year's feedback included:
I've been very pleased with the service I've received and would recommend you to others in the future.
I enjoyed a good relationship with my solicitor and found her knowledge, advice and support to be excellent.
…because of the help you gave I am now able to see my son every other weekend.

So, I'm sure most of you have caught on by now that I'm a huge fan of Twosome. Shelby Wrangler and Visa Volare are the creative minds behind one of my fav stores and they never fail to bring unique and fashionable hand-drawn goodness. So today, I thought I'd revisit a fav and share some of their new goods… so follow me!
First up is a great back to school look, even for us oldy moldies that are waaaay outta college. The Almost Nerdy Pullover comes in Red, Green and Blue as modeled here by yours truly along side my dorky friends, Alabama Smalls of Paradise Pier and Graham Burger (Yes she has a version for your BOIS!). Thanks guys for goofin off with me! The best part about these pullovers is they come in EVERY layer imaginable, even the sweater alone without the undershirt, so you can use them in so many ways, under jackets, over other shirts, etc. Love the versatility and the amazing detail. Visa really outdid herself on these you guys, and if you missed them as a group freebie a while back, I suggest you go take a look at them in the store.
(My outfit… sorry I forgot to ask Graham and Bama what they were wearing besides the Pullover… FAIL)
Vest- Twosome Almost Nerdy Slipover
Undershirt and Shorts- Armidi– Cambridge: Aufren White wSafari
Glasses- Gritty Kitty Prehistoric Glasses in Black
Socks- Maitreya Toeless Socks
Shoes- UBU Pornstars
Hair- Hiccup Slow Jamz in Light Blonde
Skin- Gala Classic in Leaf
Btw, this pose is also from Twosome called Haha! Visa has TONS of cute and silly poses.
My next wardrobe staple is this Safu Cardigan staring in a little look I like to call "Anna Wintour on Prozac….FINALLY". Its a perfect color to go with virtually anything and, as all Twosome schtuffs, comes in every layer. I paired it with a yellow scarf from one of my new favorite shop stops, Decoy. Also, I'm sporting my teal Belles pumps from the Shoes Expo by Shiny Things.
Sweater- Twosome Safu Cardigan
Tights- **DP** yumyum Sweater&Socks set
Shoes- (Shiny Things) Belles in Teal
Necktie- [Decoy] Mraz Scarf in Sunburst
Sunglasses- Fashionably Dead Ultimate Bugeye Glasses
Gloves- Digit Darkes Driving Gloves
Hair- BP* Girly Bob in Milk Tea
Skin- Gala Classic in Leaf
And lastly, you may remember my t-shirt obsession, and thank you Shelby Wrangler for feeding my addiction! This cute purple Twiggy Tee is another example of the high quality hand drawn work from Twosome as the details are amazing. I love how she draws the wrinkles that would lie in a tee if you were really wearing it. Plus Twiggy is THE fashion icon, so thats always a plus to slap her on your bewbs :P. The overalls are also a new purchase from Decoy which I'm quickly giving all my lindens to… le sigh.
Shirt- Twosome Twiggy Tee
Overalls- [Decoy] Dark Flava Pop in Pink Lemonade
Bracelet- Creamshop Lily Bangle in White
Hair- Tousled Sloane in Wheat
Piercings- Puncture Minx Facial Piercings
Skin- Gala Classic in Leaf
And FYI, since I have been looking into a new project at Hotel Dare to blog, I'll let you all in on a secret. Okay, not really a secret but that makes me feel all special and super-spy-ee. Twosome is opening a new location there soon alongside some other great creators like Diamonde, Kurotsubaki and Art featured by Four Yip and Mijn Boa. Those are just some examples but read about Hotel Dare here and stay tuned for a future blog post with more info! Now go spend some monies. You won't go broke this time because Twosome has crazy reasonable prices. It's a win win!
**EDIT** I'm a leetle slow and just realized that Twosome also has a website. So there ya go, you can stay in the know, yay!

I guess to most people this may be a small deal. My kids went to an indoor climbing gym. To our family however, this is a HUGE deal. All the stars had to align and everyone in the world had to hold their tongue in the right position for this to occur.
At least, that is how it feels most days :).
Doing this was no small feat. For starters, I had to be able to go. Nobody would have been comfortable without me there, and I wouldn't have been comfortable if they weren't comfortable. It's a confidence/safety thing. On this day I had two partially dislocated hips but I went anyway. This has been a LONG time coming, and a bit of pain (or even a lot of pain) was not going to stop me.
Secondly, we needed help. Not just as anchor point person, but just "help". When one kid goes off on a meltdown, I can't always "be there" because I can sometimes be rather "chair limited". So we need someone who can be me, essentially, and go racing after one child while BJ holds on to the other.
Getting support when you have a disability isn't as easy as you might think. I'm not, nor will I ever, go into the full details of what happened that ensured we have this support now. It's not pretty. Suffice it to say however, that others out there are still waiting and there's not a moment that goes by that I'm not both happy I'm no longer one of them, or that I feel incredibly guilty that I am no longer one of them.
Then BJ had to be ready. He wasn't. His ankle was really sore. He went anyway. Bless him!
And our support worker had to be someone I could trust to hold a rope that my child was dangling from. Having such a support worker is like winning the lotto. We won the lotto with J. She was awesome.
So it was that everything aligned, and we had our first climbing session.
Nicky was a little afraid at first. He got half way up then looked down and it hit him. After a brief rest on the ground again though, he tackled it again with a fierce determination I rarely see, and conquered it.
Quinn, our little climber from the start, just took to that wall like a fish in water. Once he got the go-ahead, he was off and there was no stopping him.
Both kids had a great time. So much so, that it is now a priority for our support worker time, and I've ordered the boys a harness each online. It's cheaper than renting one.
I'm not sure how BJ felt about it all. I rarely am sure of how he feels. I'm not entirely sure that he knows half the time. He just cruises with whatever. I had a blast. Watching the kids was great, but the atmosphere there was great too. The guys who own it and work there are awesome – really friendly and helpful, with zero of the condescending attitude you can sometimes find in pro's when you're a beginner. It was comfortable there, and cool too, with the music and the whole warehouse atmosphere thing going on. Also, we picked a time when hardly anyone else was there, so the boys had their choice of wall, and peace for their first go. Plus, indoor climbing is good for muscle tone, including (perhaps especially) the fingers, so this may be a good way of toning the boys so their EDS stays away a little bit more.
Most families have their "thing" that they are really passionate about as a family. For some it's football, for others it's soccer. A single mum friend of mine does cheerleading with her kids. My parents had golf, even though I could never understand the attraction, so it was more their thing than a family thing. I was beginning to worry that screens would be our only family thing. Not that I mind my boys playing screens – like it or not, technology is the future. However I wanted there to be something else that meant leaving the house sometimes. Mixing with other people – in person.
As always, I am hesitant at first… But I think we may have found our "outside" family thing!!! And I am excited about that beyond belief 🙂

【彩神APPvii单双_彩神APPvii单双官网】Xinhua Headlines: China's increased opening
- 时间:

Delegates attend the 2018 China (Guangdong)-U.S. Investment Cooperation Conference in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, May 17, 2018. (Xinhua/Lu Hanxin)
by Xinhua writers Wang Yaguang, Wang Pan and Zhou Qiang
BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhua) -- China again honored its commitment to opening-up with a shortened negative list for foreign investment, calming multinationals saddened by rising barriers and restrictions elsewhere.
On Thursday, China published its latest negative list that specifies sectors off-limits or restricted to foreign investors. The new list will take effect on July 28.
The number of items on the list was cut to 48 from 63 in the previous version unveiled one year ago.
Under the new list, foreign businesses will gain wider access to sectors including finance, transportation, automobiles, logistics, energy and agriculture.
"It is a great progress as over the past few years, the negative list has been dwindled down from over two hundred items," said Harley Seyedin, president of American Chamber of Commerce in South China.
China will allow 51-percent foreign ownership of brokerages, futures dealers and life insurers, and remove the cap entirely by 2021, according to the new negative list.
Current rules that limit a single foreign investor's stake in a Chinese commercial bank to 20 percent will be abolished on July 28. The rule that caps investment by multiple overseas financial institutions in a Chinese commercial bank below 25 percent will also be lifted.
Foreign ownership limits for special vehicle and new energy vehicle manufacturing will be removed on July 28, while those for passenger car manufacturing will be lifted by 2022.
Foreign equity caps on ship-building, regional jet design and manufacturing as well as power grid operation will also be lifted on July 28.
This is the latest in an array of measures China unveiled this year to expand market access for foreign investors as the country seeks to make new ground in pursuing opening up.
In expansion of the commodity market, the country allowed overseas investors to trade in domestic iron ore futures at the Dalian Commodity Exchange last month.
Following the launch of the Shanghai- and Shenzhen-Hong Kong stock links, which makes it easier for foreign investors to buy A-shares, a similar program between Shanghai and London is expected this year.
"The direction has been very consistent towards opening up, towards liberalizing the market, towards expanding international presence in China, and towards expanding Chinese presence internationally," Nicolas Aguzin, J.P. Morgan Asia-Pacific chairman and CEO, told Xinhua.
Opening-up and drawing foreign investment, which used to be viewed by some as swimming with sharks before China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), are now considered as a path to high-quality development.
Over the past decades, "opening-up has allowed investment to come to China and allowed companies to bring technology with them to China, which have had a tremendous benefit to the country's growth and prosperity," Seyedin said.
The country has remained a magnet for foreign investment. After its WTO entry, foreign direct investment into the country expanded by an annual average of 6.9 percent to 136.32 billion U.S. dollars in 2017.
A catfish effect has been created as foreign investment forces domestic businesses to enhance innovation, improve quality and gain an edge in global competition, said Li Dawei, a researcher with Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, a government think tank.
Forty years of reform and opening-up has witnessed the number of Chinese companies on the Fortune Global 10000 list increase from zero to 115.
Domestic businesses have developed the capability to compete with their global peers and seen the benefits of having additional competition.
Zotye Auto, an auto maker headquartered in Zhejiang Province in east China's seaboard, expects more opportunities than challenges following the sector's further opening-up.
Last year, the company signed an agreement to form a 1000-1000 percent joint venture with U.S. auto giant Ford to produce electric vehicles for the Chinese market.
Wu Jun, assistant general manager responsible for marketing overseas, said focusing on long-term development, the company will continue to enhance innovation and increase its R&D input.
"When it comes to competition, nationality doesn't matter. What matters is that everyone has the same possibilities, equal access and equal opportunity," said Aguzin.
To create a better business environment, the country has stepped up efforts to ease access for foreign investment, strengthen the protection of intellectual property and simplify administrative procedures.
China has not only benefited from economic globalization, but also contributed to it. The country's emphasis on opening-up is a choice benefiting both itself as well as the rest of the world.
Chinese leaders have repeatedly stated that the country's door of opening-up will not be closed, but will open even wider to share development opportunities with other countries.
"China has always been a part of the global economy, and that will never change. It is one of the greatest contributors to the world economic growth, and will continue to be as long as it continues to open its door," Seyedin said. "Everybody is now looking at China as a place of opportunity for investment, growth and prosperity. I see that absolutely."
China's GDP growth, though slowing slightly to a medium-high pace, remains stable and sound.
Political and economic stability, infrastructure development, healthy resource availability, productivity and a skilled workforce are all attractive factors for foreign investment.
As the country tries to pursue growth driven by domestic spending and market forces, more opportunities will be shared.
"There is a plan [on opening-up]. We would like to be part of that and take advantages of all the opportunities this market provides," Aguzin said.
Operating in China for nearly a century, the Wall Street banking giant still considers the market as its "long-term focus," expecting "even more good things to come, for China, for its companies, for its population and for J.P. Morgan," he said.

RE: Recycle your waste
Following an article regarding the change of refuse collection in the Dwyfor area, (to encourage recycling). It seems some people are having problems sorting their waste!
We are a family of four, two adult and two children (both under four years of age).
I sort out the waste on a daily basis and we try to recycle as much waste as we can. This is how we do it:
All our paper, glass, cans and plastic bottles are put in the blue box and collected by the door every two weeks.
We put all other plastic and cardboard in a bin and empty in our local recycle centre (which is open seven days a week).
We put all the garden waste in the brown wheelie bin which we put out when it is full.
We put all the other household rubbish in the green wheelie bin which we put out on average every four to six weeks.
Therefore I welcome this latest scheme by Gwynedd County Council and hope everybody in the county, Wales and the world will follow a similar scheme in order to reduce the waste generated by man.
Well done Gwynedd Council, keep it up.
I HAVE been reading with great interest about the South African War Memorial and suggestions where it should be relocated.
I went up Twthill to see the monument a couple of months ago and it is a bit of a trek.
Twthill Square would be better than where it is but I think that Turf Square would be better as more people would see it there, or in front of Gwynedd offices in Castle Street.
My grandfather John Jones fought in the South African war and his name, as well as other service men from Caernarfonshire, are on a big white brass plaque at the entrance of the Crown Court in town.
I wonder what will become of that when the court is moved to Llanberis Road?
Maybe that could be placed with the cenotaph as they also deserved to be remembered?
I remember a reporter from the Caernarfon and Denbigh coming to our house back in the 60s and interviewed him about his time in the war.
He was also in the First World War and saw action in the Dardanelles and Egypt.
Beach town
I AGREE with your correspondent Siw Wood. I also would like Pwllheli to remain "unspoiled and not over-commercialised", and I agree that it would need investment from entrepreneurs to achieve what I was discussing.
However, I have to accept that no 21st Century Solomon Andrews will invest if the community resists change and not enough 21st Century holidaymakers will come to the beaches if the only thing they can do afterwards is buy DIY materials and plumbing accessories.
There are already proposals from a Mr Rowlinson to develop the marina. Now is the time to build up a momentum for change to extend the benefits to other sectors.
Do something else with the harbour as well as mooring boats. Develop more entertainments.
The arcade in the Maes will benefit from growth of the sector. Let visitors drink tea, coffee and alcohol, and eat snacks, takeaways and restaurant meals. Let them enjoy themselves and have fun. They will come back and spend. Pwllheli will never become another Rhyl, but at least let it become a new prosperous Pwllheli.
Square plan
MAY I respond to E Lloyd's letter in last week's edition regarding the Square in Llanrug.
The first thing that struck me (and saddened me) when I read the letter was that it was obviously written for political reasons. That is a pity, as such an important issue as road safety deserves to be discussed without politics entering the debate in any shape or form.
It is obvious that E Lloyd is unaware that a very well-attended public meeting was held to discuss the Square some years ago, and the minor improvements that have been carried out to it by Gwynedd Council were put into effect following that meeting.
However, as beneficial as these improvements were deemed to be, a longer-term solution was put forward at the meeting by a respected highway engineer who lives locally and is familiar with our problems. That longer-term solution involved diverting Station Road through Cae'r Eglwys, the construction of a roundabout in the field opposite the primary school, and the blocking off of Station Road at the Square.
Therefore, as can be seen, the current proposal has not come out of nowhere but has been in the minds of professional highway engineers in various forms for some time and plans have existed in draft form in the Highway's Department for at least six years.
So what has changed to bring the current proposals to an outline planning application stage? The answer is in two parts.
Firstly, representatives acting on behalf of the Church in Wales have indicated to Gwynedd Council officials that they are anxious to do something with the field. Housing development is one option they are considering, and it would be very naïve of us to think that this would not be the most profitable option of all.
Secondly, when the new Unitary Development Plan (UDP) is adopted the present bar on allowing housing on that land will be lifted.
When I was told about the Church's interest in building houses on the site, and knowing that the adoption of the UDP is not too far away, I felt it was my duty as a school governor to notify the Board of Governors of the Primary School as regards everything that was happening that may affect the school. I also informed the Llanrug Community Council of these developments at their meeting on December 18, 2007 and an update was given in the 19 February meeting.
The school governors will be considering the planning application on March 13 and the Llanrug Community Council on March 18. I, of course, will be present at both meetings.
What needs to be understood regarding the current planning application is that it is an outline planning application only and is a proactive measure to be one step ahead of a planning application that may be made by the Church in Wales that may add to our problems on Station Road and the Square. It is about safeguarding a portion of the field in question for a possible future road and car park, that's all.
E Lloyd brought God into his/her letter last week. Well, it would be a good thing if we all considered very carefully the words of wise King Solomon in the context of this matter: "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18). Vision is indeed required if we are to come to a right decision regarding how this strategic field right in the middle of Llanrug is to be developed. For if we get it wrong people's lives could indeed be in danger – and I speak as a grandfather of children attending the primary school and crosses the Square every day.
Let us therefore consider the issue with all seriousness and think in terms of what is best for the village as a whole. As a matter of information, because I'm a member of the Board of Governors of Llanrug Primary School, I will not be entitled to vote on the issue at the planning committee nor will I be allowed to make a proposal one way or another. This is because the school is an interested party and the rules in force places restrictions on councillors who are also school governors.
I hope that the foregoing has been helpful in this debate. Should anybody wish to discuss it further, I'm always available on (01286) 676733.
Political joke
WHAT everyone knew would happen has happened – but even sooner than most of us expected! The so called leader of the so called voice of the people has revealed in his latest tirade a glimpse into what inevitably lies beneath the surface – a farce!
He quotes from an old song and refers to both Monty Python and Dad's Army, two acclaimed comedies, which does make one feel that probably his true calling is for the stage and music hall rather than politics.
He suggests that he and his chorusline would bring experience in life generally, as if no-one else has such a thing, and enthusiasm, honesty, integrity and the willingness to do our best to everyone in Gwynedd, as if those who we have already democratically voted to act on our behalf do not.
I wonder how long it will take for that well-known theatrical instruction "Exit stage left" to be passed to our leading man?
Is it just me or would we all agree with Captain Mainwaring -– "Stupid Boy"!
Tackle cause
RE Herald February 21 and 28 about Cob Bach Nature Reserve and Clean Up Streets. Trying to eliminate the results instead of dealing with causes of the mess will never solve a problem.
Litter louts and vandals are the problem. It is naive to think that bringing litter bins will make the public use them (look at the Pwllheli bus station).
The excellent development of Cob Bach as a nature reserve is disgustingly spoilt by its users. The benches are surrounded by beer cans, plastic bags, polystyrene food containers, etc.
The idea of council officers patrolling the town and the Cob night and day, because of 24 hours drinking, is very commendable, but until people learn (at home, in school and by punishments) to be responsible, I have little hope it would help all that much.
Pwllheli.(Name and address supplied)
Safety matter
IN response to E Lloyd's letter of Feb 28, which carried the title Threat to square, I would just ask the following question: Does that person live in the same village as I do?
If he or she does, then the issue that should be of concern is the threat to the lives of the people of Llanrug, as the Square is a traffic nightmare and an accident waiting to happen. In fact, I can't think of a more hazardous junction in Gwynedd.
Therefore, good luck to Gwynedd Council as I think that reducing the number of roads that converge at the Square from five to four is a good idea – it can only make the place safer for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Special unit
I READ with despair your recent article about the proposed closure of special education units in Gwynedd.
As a parent of a child who attended an unit, I have first-hand knowledge that these units, through specialised teaching, have positive results on children who do not cope in main stream education.
Another fine example of officials and councillors putting financial matters above children's personal needs. I wonder if they would respond in the same way if they had a child with specific educational needs?
I sincerely hope that the May elections will introduce new blood – for the sake of our children and the future of education in Gwynedd.
Why pay?
IT was Monday morning and I decided to take the dog for a walk over the Aber.
As I approached the boat house, I noticed there were at least 20 cars parked there, and there was a car coming towards me, as I braked I went into a skid because of ice on the road.
Luckily for me I managed to keep control of the car and didn't smash into one of the parked cars.
At summer time you see all the cars parked there and you know that they are visitors coming to spend in our town, but I know that these cars are council workers who won't pay for parking in the car park, so if they won't pay why should we?
Local snakes
RECENTLY I visited the Charles Darwin Centre, at the Natural History Museum, London, and had an opportunity, through a previous arrangement, to observe 250 grass snake eggs, stored and labelled in a bottle.
Apparently they were from the Pwllheli region, and the deposit was made in the name of Harrison.
I seek information on who Harrison was, and how the eggs, plus the exact year, the grass snake eggs left the Land of our Fathers. It seems that the Museum's Deposits Registry in England does not in any way include any reference or note to how the grass snake eggs arrived at the museum.

9/27 - rest day. no cardio
9/28 - running day: run/walking around the neighborhood... mainly 90 sec jogging with 60 sec walking. I started out attempting 2 minutes of jogging, but I lasted 2 cycles. I only lasted 18 minutes (see the obstacle below...) Finished up the 40 minutes with walking. Lower body workout with Sean.
9/29 - non-running day: walked 1.2 miles (3 times around the block) and then an upper body workout with Sean.
Another obstacle:
I've been having right hip pain after running. Feels like it's muscular since I have full ROM of my hip... I'm hoping that it's just my body adjusting to new exercise. I did have to stop running short yesterday, and today I took it easy with the cardio today. If it doesn't get better soon, I'll have to make an appointment with a doctor.
Added benefits of the running?
- I'm getting back on track with nutrition. I haven't noticed any changes in the scale, but I'm not focused on it.
- my time running is great time to reflect on whatever is bothering me... I've found it to be a great stress reliever.
Happy Tuesday!

About Customer
Chennai Metro Rail Ltd is a Joint Venture of Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu with equal equity holding. This metro helps customer to travel within Chennai city.
Business Requirements
CMRL had been offering its customers with payment options like cash, Debit Card, Metro card from the time of its launch. Though these options were good, CMRL felt the need for an easy to use, safe and secure mobile based ticket application for convenience of commuters which made use of the UPI platform for making payments.
- The overall scope is to avail a new payment option to the merchant through UPI.
- As device will not support sim card a dedicated customized app would be required which is mapped to customers mobile number
- A merchant portal would also be required for MIS reporting.
Solution Offered
Mindgate offered a comprehensive solution to CMRL which was built around the UPI platform. Solution features were as follows:
- Mobile app (Android), which will allow the operator to search the transaction using the Customer reference number and mark the ticket as issued.
- Mobile application can also generate the QR code which customer can scan to make payment.
- CMRL was also provided with a comprehensive Web-based portal for enhanced MIS reporting as well as better administrative control over the transactions.
Implementation Highlights
- The complete solution was made Live within the given timelines.
- A comprehensive training program was launched by MGS for training CMRL employees on the application.
- Application had been designed to work at low connectivity.
- Application was designed for multiple user login on the same device.
The solution helped CMRL to add one more payment method "UPI". The payment experience for the customer is fast and easy.
- It has also effectively helped CMRL reduce its cash management operations and go 'cashless'.
- Commuters now have the option of booking their tickets in advance from their personal mobile handsets bypassing the long queque at the ticket window.
- UPI integration for payments has proven to be a safe, secure and easy option.

Now that the GDPR D-Day has arrived, everyone has a cookie plugin. These cookie policy plugins have popped up everywhere in the WordPress plugin repository. But here's the million dollar question: Are these plugins by default doing anything after activation or are they simply just displaying messages? Let's take a look.
Now I've tried a number of cookie plugins on my own site and most of them say something like "Just activate the plugin and you're done!" It's that simple!
One of the more popular of the cookie plugins is Cookie Notice by dFactory with over 700,000 active installations and lots of great reviews. And it's a good plugin and one that I would recommend. But what does it do by default?
Well, I chose the Cookie Notice plugin as my test subject and here are the findings:
The Cookie Notice plugin activated
So what happens when you activate the Cookie Notice plugin?
You get a notification bar displaying a message and your desired buttons. For example:
If you are using Chrome, and you check in Settings --> Advanced --> Content Settings --> Cookies --> see all cookies and site data --> and search for the site, you will see that there are still cookies being set. Nothing different here.
So for all the people who installed the plugin, it is technically doing nothing but displaying a message. If the visitor does not accept, it still sets cookies.
So it's a placebo.
The purpose of the Cookie Notice plugin and your cookie plugin
Now I have only tried a few of these cookie plugins, but the purpose seems to be the same:
To block desired scripts until the visitor accepts your disclaimer.
This may be Google Tag Manager, Crazy Egg, Google Analytics, or whatever script you are pulling into the page.
So essentially you can block something like Google Analytics from tracking until your site visitor accepts the agreement.
So How Do You Set Up Your Cookie Plugin Then?
In the case of the Cookie Notice plugin by dFactory, you need to look in the Settings panel.
There is a text area where you will enter in the scripts you want to block:
So normally, where you would insert your third-party scripts like Google Analytics, etc. into your header somewhere, you would put them in this box instead.
Let me explain what this does:
- When the visitor accepts the cookies, it adds a new cookie to the browser called cookie_notice_accepted.
- Cookie Notice has a function by which it checks if the cookies are accepted called cn_cookies_accepted().
- By inserting your script(s) in this text box, you are conditionally blocking them from loading until the visitor has accepted the disclaimer (when the cn_cookies_accepted() function sees the cookie_notice_accepted cookie).
If your scripts are being loaded through an add_action hook or something similar and you need to block this elsewhere, you can use the following PHP code:
if (function_exists('cn_cookies_accepted') && cn_cookies_accepted()) {
Be sure you check the box "Enable to reload the page after cookies are accepted" so when they accept, the page will reload with the scripts running again.
The scripts will now load normally until the cookies expire (you can set this duration too) or until they clear them from your browser.
How To Handle Visitors Not Accepting Your Cookies
How will your analytics or other tracking applications fare without being able to track visitors? Should you allow visitors to browse your site while refusing cookies to be set? I don't know. Share your thoughts in the comments.
Cookie Notice gives the option to allow the visitor to refuse third-party functional cookies. Perhaps if they click the button to refuse, you could redirect them to a page by which you can have them "rick-rolled."
It also gives you the option to "accept cookies on scroll," which adds the acceptance cookie if they decide to disregard and scroll the page anyways. Perhaps not the most GDPR-compliant approach, but an option.
Another option is to take a reverse approach and say something like "We use cookies on our site to enhance your user experience. Unless you explicitly refuse them, we assume you agree," and then give them the option to refuse.
Either way, how do you handle cookies on your website? Are you blocking scripts? Is your cookie plugin actually doing anything? I would love to discuss it below.

The couples on this list range in age and relationship status but their stories are as equally compelling. Luke Wilson and Vera Farmiga play the real-life famous couple, Ed and Lorraine Warren, but there are also famous fictional couples on this list as well. With that being said, one of them has to be the best.

WOW has been celebrating the riches of world cinema since 2001, bringing an eclectic, intriguing, and moving selection of films from around the globe to cinemas across Wales. WOW presents a selection of the very best in world cinema – and sometimes a film from Wales too.
Open Call for short films from Wales
WOW "Wales One World" Film Festival is looking for short films from Wales to screen alongside festival features and at community and outreach events.
Have you made a film that you would like WOW to screen? We are keen to find films about life in Wales or beyond, including themes such as the environment, diversity, culture or global issues.
Galwad Agored am ffilmiau byr o Gymru
Mae Gŵyl Ffilm "Cymru a'r Byd yn Un" WOW yn chwilio am ffilmiau byr o Gymru i'w dangos ochr yn ochr â phrif ffilmiau'r ŵyl ac mewn digwyddiadau cymunedol ac allgymorth.

Here's our short film about a very enjoyable project working with Mencap Ceredigion to set up an animation club and create Abercon, Ceredigion's own inclusive anime convention.
Many thanks to Bethan Kench and family, Jake Whittaker, Hannah Rounding and all the particpants, businesses, volunteers and support!
Saturday 23 March 2019 brought Abercon, the first anime/comic convention to be held in Aberystwyth, and it definitely lived up to expectations. Bringing together approximately 300 people in a day filled with films, workshops and comic stalls, it was a partnership between MENCAP Ceredigion and WOW Film Festival.
Organised by Bethan Kench, Rhowan Alleyne and MENCAP Ceredigion, Abercon brought a day of anime themed activities and mischief for those attending.
Throughout the event, I was continuously struck by the the enthusiasm of visitors ranging from families with young children, to groups of students, to learning disabled people. Although a very diverse crowd, everyone was united by common interests and passions, with more than a few great costumes!

I missed writing my Thursday: Most and Least post last week! I'm having fun with this weekly feature. If you want to try it out on your own blog, do it! Just be a sport and link back to my blog somewhere in the post.
Thursday, March 1 – Thursday, March 8:
Most Expensive Purchase: Ok, so this one is tricky this week. My most expensive purchase was a tank of gas, at just shy of $50 ($49.96). But the most expensive purchase that went on my credit card was $358 for some Phillies/Nationals tickets.* See below for details – this is nuts!
Least Expensive Purchase: $.50 for parking. Had to put it on my credit card. Feel free to judge my cash-carrying skills.
Most Exciting Purchase: Burrito from Chipotle, $9.16. Very delicious, as always.
Least Exciting Purchase: Lean Cuisine and other assorted food items that had annoyingly run out (like mayo, ketchup, etc.) at Target, $33.03.
Most Fun Purchase: A beautiful bouquet at Trader Joe's for my kitchen table, $6.26.
Least Fun Purchase: A dozen eggs (to hard boil for snacks..does it get any less fun than that?) for $2.59.
Final Verdict: Due to Super-Cheap Weekend #1, this was not a very spend-y week! Go me!
*So apparently, the Nationals have gotten pissy that whenever they play the Phillies, Phillies fans buy up all the tickets and basically take over the stadium. So they've instituted a policy that you can't buy online tickets with a credit card to a home Phillies game unless you have a Maryland, DC, or Virginia address. And they check the address you report against the billing address on your credit card. My dad's co-worker wanted to buy tickets to a game for family and was lamenting the fact that it was impossible….and that's when my dad called me up and asked me if I could put her family's tickets on my credit card. I totally trust this woman, so it's no big deal. Obviously, I'm getting reimbursed, but $358 is going on my credit card because the Nationals are going out of their way to make it hard for Phillies fans to get tickets. Have you ever heard of anything so bizarre?

Enough Said
An incisive relationship dramedy which cuts into the meat of everyday anxieties with alacritous warmth, Nicole Holofcener's Enough Said brings to bear both of its co-leads sharp comic sensibilities and dramatic vulnerability to produce a compelling cinematic exploration. It seems fitting that James Gandolfini's penultimate role (his final role is in Michaël R. Roskam's Animal Rescue, slated for release in 2014) would be one of such emotional honesty, away from the big man's usual criminal-military character bread and butter. Over and above the inherent interest of seeing such an actor's concluding works Holofcener's film is a rare blend of aching vérité and whip-smart humour. Put simply, Enough Said is both one of the finest dramas and one of the finest comedies to grace the screen this year.
The film pivots around the cautious fledgling romance between middle-aged divorcees Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus in cracking form) and Albert (an exquisitely wrought performance by Gandolfini). I purposefully reference both their age and 'relationship status' because the film zeroes in on these facets, expertly mining a mother lode of drama and the discomfort comedy to be exploited therein. The film's comic tenor is reminiscent of Armando Iannucci's Veep (in which Louis-Dreyfus holds down the title role) sinking the audience into a deep pool of awkwardness and social fumbling for significant periods before coming up for air. We've all been in such situations, seen those unfortunate people, BEEN those unfortunate people! Some might argue that many of the scenes feel like comic setups, and there are a few scenes that might well work as stand alone sketches, but where Veep continues ratcheting up its comic tension past the point of acceptable norms Holofcener and co make sure character and relationship development remain front and centre keeping Enough Said from slipping into caricature or slavish devotion to its darker edges.
Thematically the film proves a rich investigation of comings to terms with selfhood, of what it means to love when the flush of youth has long passed, of the complexities of the slowly evolving parent-child relationship, and of what it means to be an adult. These issues are part of the common experience and our cinematic proxies are constructed sensibly and played sensitively. Aesthetically Holofcener and cinematographer Xavier Pérez Grobet have zoomed in on the warts and all beauty of both leads, visually studying their physicality. Wrinkles and weight are both celebrated and fretted over, aches and pains likewise canvassed. This is part of what it is to grow older and it is refreshing to see this kind of warm and honest treatment of the complexly layered agues and advantages of age. In a similar vein Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini's chemistry has more of ease than of the electricity we've become accustomed to seeing portrayed in on screen relationships. Though love may wear different faces as our life experience expands, it nevertheless continues to expose the fragility of our emotional core. This is fine work all round and I am especially glad, in light of Gandolfini's tragic early passing, that Enough Said has treated us to such a natural feeling dramatic pairing framed in an excellently penned observation of life and love.

Japan has been producing vehicles for nearly so long as America, to the shock of some. Audi AG is the fourth German automaker to bolt the North American International Auto Present for 2019, following rivals Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Porsche. That will repeal guidelines that required world automakers to work via local partners, an arrangement that required them to share technology with potential Chinese language rivals and prompted complaints by Washington, Europe and Japan.
This week China announced plans to ease restrictions on automakers importing vehicles into the nation, with electrical car makers being the first to profit from the change. The information follows China overtaking the U.S. as Maserati's largest market worldwide Consultancy firm McKinsey forecasts China's auto market sales will attain 22 million vehicles in 2020, bigger than either the Europe or North America markets.
The U.S. auto market most likely chugged alongside in Might, with analysts anticipating a car sales pace roughly in line with a 12 months in the past. Nissan's gross sales hit a file high of 5.82 million, while French automaker Renault SA has reported sales of 3.seventy six million.
President Trump has bashed U.S.-China trade as imbalanced and criticized auto corporations for importing automobiles. Sedans and different traditional passenger cars are shedding their grip on American client appetites, but automakers are still discovering ways to generate income on at the least a few of them, by doing extra with much less.
China's first-quarter sales of electrics and gasoline-electrical hybrids rose 154 {7f68b8fb25c68ebac0b95948bb2a000ebc8572f0adff420238d7a25d4703ecea} over a yr earlier to 143,000 models, in response to the China Association of Vehicle Producers. However Schuster does envision the U.S. and different foreign automakers decreasing the size of their Chinese language companions' possession stakes and separating their mental property from those companions.

Christianity in South Africa: An Annotated Bibliography
Christianity in South Africa: An Annotated Bibliography
We were standing in the airport in Cape Town, flight delayed, on our way to represent the Institute for Comparative Religion in Southern Africa (ICRSA) at a conference in Utrecht, when we met the prophet of the Church of Qamatha. Claiming to have established a direct line to the supreme God, as that God was designated under His African name in Xhosa, the prophet explained that the Gods of all other religion--Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and so on--provided legitimate but subordinate avenues to the spiritual reality overseen by the highest God, Qamatha. in theological terms, the prophet saw all other divine beings as mediators between humans and the supreme God of Africa, the God that could only be reached directly through the Church of Qamatha and the prophet of that church. Under pressures of airline rescheduling, we had to end this conversation abruptly. Yet questions lingered as we headed north from Africa to Europe: Was the prophet's religious vision African? Was it Christian? Was it both? Was it neither? What is Christianity in South Africa?
This bibliography collects and annotates resources for wrestling with these questions. Unfortunately, the Church of Qamatha has not yet been documented in the literature under review. Certainly, it would pose a problem for the standard accounts of European missions, mainstream denominations, and African initiated churches that have dominated research on Christianity in South Africa. While the research in these three basic areas has been collected here, substantial gaps remain in our understanding of the impact and influence of Christian discourses and practices. in the case of the prophet of the Church of Qamatha, for example, the Christian religion represents an inferior path to be rejected. Yet the basic parameters of the prophet's religious mission--his role as prophet, his church, and his theological reflections--have all been informed . . .

A postcard.
Hello, Hong Kong,
I've missed you.
You're still the closest
I've gotten to sky.
I was bright, but
you are still brighter;
your words, in black-and-white
glow, our last embers.
I still remember
those long night wanders;
the slight British lilt in your voice.
I loved the young-old world of you,
but in the end, you made your choice. I
turned my back
on The Peak, in the dark.
And our sparks
never met, only flew.
Oh Hong Kong,
I didn't need to go back.
But the truth is,
I still missed you.
For N., who I could not keep.

thinking deep thoughts.
In Code 2.0, Lawrence Lessig says that a good argument against invasion of privacy in cyberspace can be to think of it as an affront to personal dignity protected by the fourth amendment:
But it may be that we understand the Fourth Amendment to protect a kind of dignity. Even if a search does not burden anyone, or even if one doesn't notice the search at all, this conception of privacy holds that the very idea of a search is an offense to dignity. That dignity interest is only matched if the state has a good reason to search before it searches. From this perspective, a search without justification harms your dignity whether it interfaces with your life or not.
Although I generally agree with this interpretation of the fourth amendment, I disagree with the argument made that all digital survellance violates the amendment. If a worm or a bot is installed on your computer and it is programmed to performed just one query, I don't see it as being in violation because even though that search might have been performed without your knowledge, there's a good chance that it wasn't performed without your permission. Everyday, we give permission to monitoring mechanisms by using the technologies that we use. We might not know that we are giving permission to the government and to corporations to put us under constant surveillance. We might know and agree to use these technologies anyway, thinking of it as a price to pay for the conveniences that they offer. In this respect, in the corporations' view at least, dignity isn't being violated because you sign user agreements that give them the permission to do that. Where one can strongly argue that dignity is being violated is when the technology involved isn't technology that you agree to use or had the option to sign a user agreement for. Methods produced by these technologies might be unobtrusive but the feeling of knowing that the sole purpose of this technology is surveillance and that there's nothing you're getting in return might create a clear feeling that your dignity is being violated.
If the argument is that the fourth amendment protects against offenses to human dignity, what exactly does dignity mean and how is it violated? Digital surveillance and search occur en masse unobtrusively because new technologies make it easy to do this. If they occur en masse, I don't think personal dignity is an issue because it isn't like being singled out, monitored and searched. There's an example Lessig gives which I don't think is a very good example because it doesn't factor in the massive aspect of modern-day surveillance. To explain how search can be undignified even if the person being searched doesn't feel like it is intrusive, Lessig uses the example of young teens being stopped and searched by police officers after an incident was reported nearby. Simply put, there were singled out and searched. There were probably bystanders, onlookers and passers-by present during the search. Online, there are no bystanders, onlookers or passers-by, we are all subjected to the same search and monitoring. In Lessig's example, I think the youth who vividly expresses his outrage is also accounting for bystanders, onlookers, and passers-by when he feels his dignity is being violated. Online, digital surveillance is a shared experience and to me, doesn't feel like an affront to dignity so long as when I find out that I'm being searched, I don't feel singled out.
In Republic 2.0, Cass Sunstein explores the effects of filtering for consumers on their ability to be good citizens and on future democracy. Many people see the ability to filter the information you receive on a daily basis – the ability to have a Daily Me – as a positive because it cuts down on the amount of time you spend trying to find pertinent information. Years ago, you would've had to drive down to the neighborhood video-rental store to sort through many options to find the one obscure film you'd been meaning to watch. Today, Netflix can suggest a list of obscure films you didn't know you'd been meaning to watch. On the surface, filtering seems to be very liberating to consumers, freeing them from unwelcome and unwanted information, but Sunstein argues that filtering hurts democracy in the long run because it eliminates forums for healthy, public discourse.
Without shared experiences, a heterogeneous society will have a much more difficult time in addressing social problems. People may even find it hard to understand one another. Common experiences, emphatically including the common experiences made possible by the media, provide a form of social glue.
Sunstein talks about viewing the Internet as a street or a public park. Most streets and public parks are by law open to speakers looking for a diverse audience for their opinions, arguments and ideas. Street corners and public parks are public spaces and the Internet by its initial definition is also a public space but it is also becoming an increasingly commercialized and privatized space. Sunstein's description of the tension between our roles and rights as consumers versus our rights as citizens mirrors the tension that exists on the Internet between truly public aspects and commercialized spaces governed by corporations. All the major websites and SNSs are owned by corporations which, by definition, make it good practice to deliver consumers what they want. Websites like the Facebook, Netflix and Amazon would not be nearly as successful today without many consumer-centric practices which include filtering. In addition to filtering, some of these websites, rather than push the feeling of being on a street corner or public park, strive to make visitors feel like they are at home by allowing them to customize and filter their experiences online. Sunstein talks about the difficulty of convincing lawmakers to officially recognize the Internet as the new street corner because of this tension.
This tension is even more complex when we consider mobile experiences and how smartphones, mobile devices and social media apps used to access the Internet are viewed and marketed as highly personalized extensions of ourselves. Apps like Tweetdeck and Facebook for iPhone make it even easy to filter not only your online experiences, but your offline experiences as well. Before the emergence and ubiquity of mobile Internet and all the services that plug into it, your filtered online experience ended once you were away from your computer or out of the house. Today, your filtered experience follows you everywhere. A conservative leaning citizen doesn't have to make the effort to process ideas in a speech from a liberal politician when bloggers and politicians that share his political views are also listening in and live-tweeting their reactions. During the State-of-the-Union address, Republican senators in attendance can live-tweet their reactions so that their conservative followers don't have an unfiltered experience of the President's speech. This practice of live-tweeting and live-blogging, when consumed from a narrow group of like-minded sources, flies in the face of Sunstein's optimistic view of general interest intermediaries and advances consumer sovereignty even further. When consumed from a wide range of diverse sources, live-tweeting and live-blogging promotes political sovereignty:
The idea of political sovereignty stands on different foundations. It does not take individual tastes as fixed or given; it doesn't not see people as simply "having" tastes and preferences. For those who value political sovereignty, "We the People" reflect on what we want by exchanging diverse information and perspectives.
When you have a smartphone with you, you can literally be on a street corner or public park, point your device at something you disagree with and get instant instructions on exactly how to feel about it. In essence, your mobile device becomes not only a live-filter, but more importantly an interpreter of unplanned, unanticipated experiences so you don't have to do it yourself. The filters you set up or have set up for you online become so powerful that even shared experiences end up having little effect on your preconceived opinions and points-of-view. You don't get the feeling of being in a public space when you have your consumer-centric smartphone with all its apps and filters with you at all times filtering your environment so that unfamiliar ideas and arguments come to you in familiar interpretations.

Early Termination Fee
In the past, Citi has not charged any ETF, and none is mentioned for this offer.
Our Verdict
They recently had the same bonus, this time both bonuses are $100 higher (before it was $300/$500). Keep in mind you'll need to have the $15,000/$50,000 deposited for at least 60 days, realistically it's longer as it needs to post to your account and that can take up to 90 days after the requirements are met (you would reduce your deposit to $10,000 just to keep the account fee free). Here is the interest you'd miss out on compared to other high interest savings accounts if you had $15,000 in there for 60 days:
- 0.1%: ~$2.5
- 1%: ~$25
- 3%: ~$74
- 5%: ~$123
The same but for the $50,000 account:
- 0.1%: ~$8.2
- 1%: ~$82
- 3%: $246
- 5%: $410
The $400 bonus is worth doing, but I don't think the $600 bonus is worth considering. Even if you pay the $25 fee for three months on the $400 bonus you're still making $325 for $15,000 deposited for 60 days, not a bad return (~13% APY). I'll be adding the $400 bonus to our list of the best checking account bonuses. The $200 might be better for people that don't have access to $15,000 to tie up.

Asia's rapid economic ascent raises expectations in the rest of the world of greater political influence, even leadership, by Asian countries and questions about Asia's regional institutions. With some exceptions, as when South Korea hosted the G20 summit in 2010, Asian governments tend to focus on their own interests and regional institutions operate with Asian-style pragmatism, with a focus on cooperation and incremental change.

The past week has seen the climax of an Australian domestic political drama that has played out over the past three and a half years. Right at the end of the parliamentary term heading into a national election, Kevin Rudd dramatically wrested back the prime ministership from Julia Gillard.

I'm excited to share some photos from Elyse & Carl's engagement session in San Francisco! When trying to decide where to have their engagement session it was a toss up between here in Vegas or a destination shoot in either L.A. or San Fran. Vegas and L.A. both hold special meaning to them and are a part of there past, but they decided that exploring San Francisco together (where Carl recently moved for work) would be a fun way of celebrating their future and this new chapter of their lives. I thought it was such a sweet idea and couldn't agree more!
To start things off, we went out for a spin with some beach cruiser bikes (one of their favorite things to do together)!
Then we headed to Baker for some fun at the beach!
I had such an incredible day and I absolutely can't wait for Elyse & Carl's wedding this October at Green Valley Lutheran and the beautiful Springs Preserve here in Las Vegas! Be sure to check back in the fall for lots more from these two lovebirds!
