Panthers vs. Golden Knights NHL Pick – February 22, 2020
Even the Florida Panthers continue their road trip out west with a stop in Las Vegas on Saturday. The club of joel Quenneville includes before going home for a four-game homestand two more roadies. After that things will get a bit tricky for the Panthers. 8 of the next 11 games will take place on the street, since the Panthers enter a part of the schedule in the season's month.
That is likely to be the make or break section of the year to the Panthers. They have handled this road trip fairly well so far, with wins from the Sharks and Ducks, although faltered at the Staples Center from the Kings. That was a game they may look back at the season's close.
The Panthers are two points behind the Maple Leaf for 3rd in the Atlantic Division. As far as there is a wildcard concerned, the Panthers are a stage behind the Blue Jackets and two points behind the Canadiens. For all those new to the NHL, the teams from each division go along with two wildcards to create eight groups up.
Florida is still on the bubble right now, and can't afford to be dropping like the Kings to non-playoff teams down the stretch. They are going to need to steal a few games against teams that are great on the street where they'll be playing with a lot of matches in March. A win tonight could make it three out of four matches.
For the Panthers go deep and to get to the playoffs, it is likely to require Sergei Bobrovsky to grow up and start making his pay. He signed up with the Panthers with the jackets, but the results have not been there. Yes, he had a much better defence. Nevertheless, Bobrovsky is earning elite goaltending cash better than average to bad numbers should come with this.
For almost any goaltender, irrespective of pay cheque size, the amounts have yet to be desirable. There is still time for Bobrovsky to be a saviour. Bobrovsky includes a chore in vegas before him. The Golden Knights simply torched the Lightning, and could do the same. Head below to our complimentary Panthers vs. Golden Knights select.
BEST NHL BETTING Websites
Bobrovsky has posted a 3.29 GAA and 0.898 save percentage in 47 games this year. For a moment there it seemed like he turned into a corner, but he has been struggling lately. For every fantastic start he's had, there is three or four outings that are poor. That is not likely to have it done for the Panthers, and as a result, they are 29th at the NHL with 3.34 goals against per game. The only teams who were worse would be the New Jersey Devils and Red Wings.
Neither Red Wings or the Devils are everywhere near the playoffs. Even the Toronto Maple Leafs in 26th with 3.23 goals against per game is the only other group playing that poorly defensively and still threatening for a cursory look. In their previous ten games, the Panthers have enabled 3.7 goals per contest, so it's been more of the same. I think a whole lot of people, myself included, anticipated Bovrovsky to receive his head together and make hot.
That hasn't been the case. It is almost March and he's still looking for his game that he must have abandoned Columbus. Get things done for next year and he might have to hit the reset button at the summertime. His offence might have the ability to carry him to the playoffs, though. Bobrovsky will not have a lot of time. Florida is 5th in the league using 3.46 goals scored per match. That is what's been holding that the Panthers up this season, but at some point it must be got by Bobrovsky together.
The Panthers need to take care of a Golden Knights staff who must be feeling optimistic after the screen they put on against the Lightning. Alec Martinez, the brand-new acquisition in the Kings, scored a goal to have the party. The Knights have scored at least 3 goals with a mean of $ 3.7 per game in their previous ten outings.
They have performed better at home , with scored 3.38 goals per match. However, the defence and Marc-Andre Fleury has regressed at T-Mobile Arena. Fleury owns a 2.96 GAA and 0.899 save percentage in vegas, and as a group, they've let a total of 3.16 goals per game in your home. This has the makings of an entertaining 4-3 game using the complete OVER.

Erster Neubau eines Zentrumspitals in Finland seit 1970
The New Hospital for Central Finland Health Care District in Jyväskylä has the ambition to get a new landmark hospital within the finnish health care system. The aim is to make it the most modern and efficient hospital. The question relates to the change of the whole health care service system, to which the building and its architecture respond to and make possible. The target is to cut the operation costs by 10-20 %. By doing this, it is possible to guarantee to deliver the best quality and economically efficient health care for the future.
The building type and concept is entirely new compared to the traditional hospitals. Especially the logistics, operation and using the patient as a starting point are solved in an extremely modern way. The shift in the architecture of hospital buildings is part of a larger transformation in the society: the increasing amount of the aged in societies around the world reduces the resources for health care and is changing the principles of the welfare state.
The project is developed in phases. Lead Consultants, represented through Karin Imoberdorf, has supported the hospital team, directed by Jorma Teittinen, with Jonna Taegen responsible for the programming. Having served as advisors in several meetings and provided tools and knowledge to understand, collect and develop the relevant information from the users into a design manual and detailed room program, Lead Consultants has actually a good understanding of the aimed future qualities. The work of Lead Consultants served as basics for the following phases: logistic concept and preliminary design plans.

Athens News Agency: Daily News Bulletin in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: The Athens News Agency at <http://www.ana.gr/>Friday, 25 January 2008 Issue No: 2803
[01] PM in Ankara: Peace requires the strength to endure itGreek Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis continued his ground-breaking trip to Ankara on Thursday at the head of a high-ranking Greek delegation, which was received at the presidential mansion by Turkish President Abdullah Gul. Hours earlier the Greek premier laid a wreath at the Ataturk Mausoleum (Anitkabir) in the Turkish capital.
In a dedication in the visitors' book at the mausoleum, Karamanlis wrote: "Kemal Ataturk with Eleftherios Venizelos had the political courage, volition and foresight not to allow conflicts and tragedies of the past to become obstacles to efforts at building a better future of peace and cooperation, towards the benefit of both our peoples."
Karamanlis also met with Turkey's main opposition leader (CHP) and veteran politician Deniz Baykal in the Turkish capital.
At noon, Karamanlis delivered an address at Ankara's Bilkent University, where he noted that the world is changing at an unprecedented speed, bringing a plethora of new opportunities and challenges, but also threats, the most worrisome of which was, perhaps, the blatant abuse of political power.
Speaking during the second day of his official visit to the neighbouring country, Karamanlis said Greeks and Turks, as neighbours, are faced with similar challenges.
"In this new world, Greeks and Turks, as neighbours, face common challenges. Issues, which geography and modern-day reality, demand that we face jointly. This requires frankness, confidence and commitment," Karamanlis said, citing the EU as an example, and particularly France's and Germany's rapprochement after World War II.
Karamanlis also referred to Turkey's European prospect, reaffirming Greece's support, and stressing that "the European family is defined by our collective desire for democracy and respect, and full adoption of the fundamental principles and values, which are: human rights, such as freedom of speech and religion; minority rights; peaceful resolution of differences, denouncement of the use, or threat of use of violence; respect of the territorial integrity of states, and devotion to International Law and International Treaties".
The Greek premier explained that the target was "to give Turkey the opportunity to prove its volition and preparedness to adopt and fully apply the European principles and values, the European way", because "we are convinced that a European Turkey will prove to be to the benefit of its own people, first of all, of the region, and of the entire continent".
Greek-Turkish economic relations have improved, Karamanlis said, noting that the total volume of trade between the two countries was rising steadily, reaching 2.3 billion dollars in the first nine months of 2007 alone.
Problems in the relations between the two countries, however, remain, he continued, "problems that we cannot underestimate", but "which are up to us to resolve".
"In that direction, and wanting to believe that both countries manifest true volition to turn to the future, we have a powerful ally, which is the only means that the modern-day peaceful societies employ: International Law," Karamanlis said.
On the Cyprus issue, Karamanlis stressed that "the time has come to tear down, in Nicosia, the last remaining wall of division in Europe".
"Greece and Turkey have the duty to try, together with the people of Cyprus, to restore its (Cyprus') independence, sovereignty and unity. To reach a solution that is just, viable and functional, founded on the Resolutions of the UN Security Council and the acquis of the European Union, of which Cyprus is a member," the Greek premier stressed.
"We have a difficult past behind us; a past known to all of us. History, however, cannot be rewritten. But what can be written from here on are the pages of the future; and inspired leadership is needed to draw lessons from the past and forge a brighter future," he said.
"I know very well that the road ahead of us is long and difficult. But the cost of not moving forward, and the lost benefit from not forging ahead, will be immense. And this, precisely, is the strongest incentive for keeping our eyes turned to the future," Karamanlis continued.
"Greece and Turkey are at a strategic crossroad. We have much to gain from moving forward, together. But we have even more to lose by following the path of tension and enmity," he said.
As for Greece, the prime minister said, "I can assure you that our commitment is to move forward".
History, he concluded, "has taught us that everything depends on the choices. On our choices. Now is the time to turn the words into action ... Peace requires the strength to endure it," Karamanlis said, citing a verse by Greek Nobel laureate poet Odysseas Elytis from his celebrated "Axion Esti" collection.
"This is the peace that is worth fighting for," the Greek prime minister concluded.
In answer to a handful of questions, Karamanlis said the best answer to obvious euro-sceptism over Turkey's European course is complete fulfilment of criteria, prerequisites and reforms for full accession.
"Trust your friends," was Karamanlis' laconic answer to a question on whether Athens' support for Ankara's EU prospects is merely a pretext in order to achieve Turkey's compliance with Greece's demands.
Finally, asked whether he would consider visiting, along with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, "both sides of Cyprus" -- i.e. the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish-occupied northern third of the isle -- Karamanlis emphasised that the Cyprus problem was not an issue of symbolism, but of substance.
"We have expressed our political volition to find a fair and viable solution with a final goal of leading to the island's reunification," he said, adding that the basis for such a framework lies in international law, treaties and the July 8 agreement.
[02] PM Karamanlis holds talks with Ecumenical Patriarch VartholomeosISTANBUL (ANA-MPA/A. Panagopoulos)
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, currently on an official three-day visit to Turkey, held talks with Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos on Thursday, stressing that the reopening of the Halki School of Theology is a top priority.
"In the struggle to defend the just causes of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the values that it stands for, in the struggle that is taking place with the weapons of logic and persuasion as well as of common interest I assure you that we shall not waver and we shall not back down. You can consider as a foregone conclusion the active and continuous support of the Greek state in this effort. In this spirit, the reopening of the Halki School of Theology is a top priority for us. We shall work with determination and consistency, together with all those who share our values in Greece, Turkey, and all over the world, to enable you to continue unimpeded the work that you are carrying out, and which is liked by God, for the fulfilment of the major mission of the Patriarchate," the prime minister said, addressing the Ecumenical Patriarch.
Karamanlis said he was deeply moved to be visiting the Fanar, the seat of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, an institution that, as he said, has constituted the religious cradle of the nation for 17 centuries.
The prime minister praised the role played by the Ecumenical Patriarch, stressing that the Ecumenical Patriarchate, with the inspired guidance of Vartholomeos has assumed a substantive role in the face of international challenges.
"You have been the first international leader to embrace the message of saving the environment and you have proclaimed its importance. Your initiatives have met with international acceptance and they highlight the modern-day role of the Patriarchal throne in absolute agreement with your theological mission. There is no doubt that through such initiatives the universality of the institution is underlined in the strongest of ways and its international presence is boosted," the prime minister said.
He also referred to the defending of human rights and institutions through the initiatives assumed by Vartholomeos, noting that the Ecumenical Patriarch's views have a universal appeal.
Karamanlis further pointed out that Vartholomeos is the voice of eastern Christianity, being the first among equals on the firmament of Orthodox Churches, in the effort to defend these values, adding that the western Church has also been mobilised in this effort.
Lastly, the prime minister said that Vartholomeos remains in a longstanding sense the firm European voice in Turkey, despite whatever adversities and disappointments.
Welcoming Karamanlis, the Ecumenical Patriarch expressed his satisfaction for his visit to the Ecumenical Patriarchate's seat, terming his visit to Turkey and to Istanbul as being of historic significance, since hopes are being created for the promotion of relations of friendship and cooperation between the neighbouring countries.
He also expressed satisfaction because the prime ministers of Greece and Turkey are struggling with all their strength for greater rapprochement between the two peoples and for their closer cooperation on the basis of all elements that unite them.
"We congratulate you wholeheartedly for this effort of yours since the Ecumenical Patriarchate always aims at the building of harmonious and peaceful relations between those living in the same geopolitical area, the peoples of Turkey and of Greece and believes that both can always live peacefully and fraternally under the same sky which we hope will never be overshadowed by clouds of conflicts," he said.
The Patriarch further said that the Patriarchate is working for unity and peaceful cooperation among all Christians and people regardless of gender, race and religion.
"Therefore, strengthening the role and the work of the Patriarchate is in the interests of all, which is a source of blessing for Turkey, as well as for the whole world," Vartholomeos said.
The prime minister and his wife Natasha were to attend a private dinner later on in the evening with his Turkish counterpart and his wife Emine. Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis, Minister of State Theodoros Roussopoulos and the rest of the official Greek delegation were to attend a dinner hosted by Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan.
On Friday morning, the prime minister will be addressing a business forum in Istanbul, together with his Turkish counterpart, and he will be concluding his visit with a meeting with expatriates at the High School.

[04] Education minister visits Thesprotia, northwest GreeceEducation and Religious Affairs Minister Evripidis Stylianidis continued a tour of Epirus in on Thursday, visiting the prefecture of Thesprotia.
Stylianidis arrived in the town of Paramythia in the morning and met the Paramythia and Filiata metropolitan Titos, after which he inspected the site of a primary school now under construction and a special professional education and training workshop.
During his visit, the minister also came across a group of local residents protesting against the creation of a landfill site at Karvounari. After a brief conversation with the group, he promised to convey their demands to the appropriate minister.
After Paramythia, Stylianidis paid visits to schools in the port city of Igoumenitsa and then chaired a meeting of local bodies at the prefecture headquarters to discuss all issues concerning the region.
He announced that Igoumenitsa, like Ioannina, will soon acquire its own modern schools as part of the "smart schools" programme.
After his return to Ioannina in the evening, the minister will meet the president and heads of department at the Epirus Technological Educational Institute and then attend an event where he will present high-school children that came top of their class in 2005-2006 a free computer to reward their efforts.
He is due to continue his tour in Preveza prefecture on Friday.
[05] PASOK's Venizelos meets with party leader PapandreouProminent main opposition PASOK deputy and recent leadership contender in the November 11 inner-party elections Evangelos Venizelos met on Thursday with leader George Papandreou.
"I have asked for this meeting, which, unfortunately, has not taken place for two-and-a-half months after November 11, because we must at any cost avoid PASOK's introspection in a particularly crucial conjuncture for the country due to a collapsing government," Venizelos told reporters after the meeting.
"The citizens demand a lot of things from PASOK and we must respond. I was and I will remain a guarantor of the party's unity," he added in an indirect response to press speculation regarding a split in the party.
"All those who try to invent so-called internal enemies are seriously harming PASOK and its prospects," he added.
In statements later to the press, PASOK Spokesman Yiannis Ragoussis said that for leader George Papandreou and the party "the only opponents are the problems and the inadmissible, anti-popular and counter-development policy of this government."
"PASOK should advance forward united and powerful," Ragoussis said adding that one "assumes his responsibilities through his statements and mainly through his actions."
[06] KKE leader meets employees at Drug Prevention CentresCommunist Party of Greece (KKE) Secretary General Aleka Papariga on Thursday accused the government that the aim of its policy on the problem of drugs is either to curb the public sector related to prevention and rehabilitation or have it pass into the hands of private persons, "considering to have unhappy working class families facing the big problem of drug addiction and rehabilitation as their clientele."
The statements were made after her meeting with the Employees Union at the Drug Prevention Centers, stressing that what is the criterion for KKE is "the widening of the sector of prevention."
Papariga further said that employees in the prevention sector are owed over six million by the health ministry and over one million by the interior ministry.
Lastly, she stressed that her party considers it an obligation to inform the Greek people in a wider sense to facilitate coordinated and immediate actions to prevent the worse.
[07] Coalition leader Alavanos on Zachopoulos caseCoalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology (Synaspismos) party leader Alekos Alavanos said on Thursday that he is expecting the prime minister to reply in relation to "rumours and discussions" on the role of a New Democracy party deputy "in the various efforts for deals and extortions."
Referring to the mass media, Alavanos said that it is a major issue "not only of vested interests of the mass media and of political power, but of the forms that these vested interests are taking on, which are leading the country's entire political life to pathology."
Lastly, Alavanos said that "the Coalition has made proposals and is expecting from ESHEA (the Athens Journalists Union) radical measures for the handling of this matter. We must ultimately wonder if the mass media are for supporting shipowners or for supporting political extortions or whether they should be placed at the service of society."

[12] FinMin addresses 1st meeting of Nat'l Council on tax evasionEconomy and finance minister George Alogoskoufis on Thursday called on all agencies concerned to submit proposals on combating tax evasion, in his opening address to the first meeting of the National Council on fighting Tax Evasion.
Alogoskoufis said that everyone perceived that the Council was "not a vehicle for producing conflict" but, rather, its purpose was to collate the views that are expressed in the context of the Council. Nor was it for television consumption purposes. "This Council will operate responsibly," he stressed.
The minister outlined the efforts that have been made to curb tax evasion, through cross-checking of data in order to pinpoint inconsistencies.
He further noted the application of VAT on newly-constructed residences, and the simplification of the Customs Code, as well as the Code on Ledgers and Bookkeeping.
Alogoskoufis also said that the TAXIS (tax authority office) system has been upgraded, while the Special Audits Service has been reorganized, while he further referred to the steps taken to clamp down on fuel smuggling, and to the incentives offered to professionals to cooperate with the tax authorities and report transgressions.
The minister called on the Council members to submit their own proposals, adding that these would be taken into consideration in planning the steps aimed at combating tax evasion.
Economy and finance deputy minister Antonis Bezas told the Council that wiping out tax evasion was a fundamental priority of the government, stressing that tax evasion deprived society also of precious resources.
He also noted the initiatives taken by the government to curb tax evasion, stressing that it was a problem that needed to be confronted in cooperation with all sides concerned, and adding that "we have a long way ahead of us", urging the Council members to submit proposals.
[13] Parliament ratifies Greece-Microsoft agreementThe Greek Parliament on Thursday ratified a cooperation agreement between the Greek State and Microsoft Corporation. The agreement was passed by majority vote, with all the opposition parties voting against it.
Commenting on the deal, Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis described it as "balanced" and said it brought important benefits and favourable terms for Greece but was not binding for the country and did not make the Greek public sector in any way "dependent".
"The agreement with Microsoft combines immediate economic benefits while it is not binding for our country in cases where higher costs arise. The procurement of software will be carried out through open international tenders, in accordance with European and Greek legislation, and any other company is free to participate, without any commitment to buy [Microsoft] products," Alogoskoufis said.
The finance minister also pointed to "major benefits for the public, particularly school children and students, small and middle-sized enterprises and the public sector" and said the deal was part of the government's digital strategy of forging closer cooperation between the public sector and private-sector companies on IT issues. He also particularly emphasised the provision under the deal for creating a Microsoft Innovation Centre in Greece and for centres for learning about technology in regional areas.
Opposition MPs, by contrast, slammed the deal as "leonine, inequitable and colonial" while main opposition PASOK claimed that it concealed other "secret" deals.

[21] Hellenic Foundation for Culture to establish Centre in MelbourneMELBOURNE (ANA-MPA/S. Hatzimanolis)
Procedures are underway for the operation of a Hellenic Foundation for Culture (HFC) Centre in Melbourne, Australia, following a decision by the foundation's board, which is chaired by Athens University former rector, Professor George Babiniotis.
The HFC Centre will be housed in the Hellenic Museum premises, located in downtown Melbourne, and all facilities used, namely, office spaces, conference rooms and exhibition hall, as well as the services offered by the La Trobe University's National Centre for Hellenic Studies and Research (NCHSR) will be provided for free.
The Foundation's objective is culturally oriented, directed at the Australian community with the purpose of projecting Greek culture elements through sophisticated events that will highlight the timeless quality of Greek culture and its contribution to the shaping of European culture.
The HFC falls under the authority of the Greek ministry of culture and operates in close cooperation with the foreign ministry, aspiring to promote the Greek culture in Europe, the United States and Australia.
According to HFC chairman Babiniotis, the foundation's goal is to organize high level cultural events that will convey cultural messages to Australians regarding Greece, its history and contribution to the world. Future plans include the hosting of an exhibition with books referring to the work of Homer, whose writings constitute the oldest text of the European culture. Homer's verses will be recited in the English language, performed by famous Australian actors, while a luxurious and impressive publication on Homer will also be available.

[24] Baby monk seal back to the wild - with mobile!Victoria, an orphan baby seal rescued from angry seas near the island of Tinos just hours after she was born, will be returning to the wild and a natural life in the sea on Saturday. She won't be shunning civilisation entirely, however, since she goes forth equipped with her very own mobile!
Named after the woman who dived in and rescued her, Victoria Drouga, the little seal was raised by staff and volunteers at the Society for the Study and Protection of the Mediterranean Seal (MOm), who not only kept her alive but also taught her survival skills that she will need in the open sea. As a result, three and a half months after she was rescued, she is now ready to return to her natural environment and was transferred to the National Marine Park of Alonissos.
"To begin with MOm's Nursing Team and volunteers had to force feed the baby seal with fish paste in order to replace the mother seal," explained MOm's communications officer Pepi Lagonika.
"Gradually, we tried to teach her to swim by putting her in a pool. She refused and didn't want to go in the water and we had to train her, like we do with a small baby," she added.
After she became accustomed to the water, Victoria then had to learn to eat on her own and hunt:
"After the fish paste, we started giving her fish fillets by hand but then we had to teach her to hunt for her own food. So MOm experts began by throwing dead fish into the water, which Victoria would play with and think they were toys, like the ones she had in her pool to keep her occupied. Once she discovered they could be eaten, they started to throw in live fish and also let her spend a lot of time on her own so that she would become 'wilder'. In the meantime, they watched her using cameras," Lagonika explained.
The young Monachus monachus seal that arrived at the centre weighing just 15 kilos has now grown to 50 kilos and is ready for life on her own.
To keep track of her, however, MOm will attach a transmitter similar to a mobile phone on the small seal that will send the team SMS messages at regular intervals.
"Through text messages that we will receive at regular time intervals we will be informed of the young seal's geographical location, the depth of her dives, the amount of time she spends in and out of the water and her swimming speed," Lagonika said.
According to MOm's PR officer, this method is considered more reliable than satellite monitoring that MOm used in 2004 on the seal 'Dimitris' that was also released into the wild.
"The young seal, equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology but also inoculated against dangerous viruses, is the 16th Monachus monachus that returns healthy to its natural environment after receiving care and is a double joy for MOm, since it highlights even more the 20 years of effort by the organisation for the survival of this rare species," she added.
Mediterranean or monk seals are currently threatened with extinction with only 500 individuals known to exist. Half of these are in Greece, which contains their most important habitats.

Cyprus Affairs
[33] Palmas: Turkey wants Annan plan solution in CyprusNICOSIA (CNA/ANA-MPA)
Turkey maintains a consistent and steady policy on a Cyprus solution, which is based on the parameters of a UN-proposed plan, rejected by the overwhelming majority of the Greek Cypriots and approved by the Turkish Cypriots, Government Spokesman Vasilis Palmas said on Thursday.
Commenting on statements made Wednesday by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a meeting in Ankara with his Greek counterpart Costas Karamanlis, Palmas said "Although Erdogan said that the Annan plan belongs to the past, indirectly but clearly he said that the solution of the Cyprus problem should be based on that plan, which he did not name."
The spokesman said that when Erdogan refers to the need to adopt the essence and the content of the plan, he is clearly referring to a Cyprus solution based on the parameters of the Annan plan, which the people of Cyprus have rejected.
"The clear conclusion we draw is that Turkey is consistent and focuses on a Cyprus solution based on the Annan plan's content", he added.
Referring to statements by the Greek Prime Minister, Palmas pointed out that "Karamalis expressed clear, consistent and firm positions on the need to implement the July agreement, of 2006, an agreement signed by the UN and both communities in Cyprus, the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot communities".
The spokesman noted that the Turkish Cypriot community "agreed and signed the July agreement upon approval by Ankara and Erdogan himself".
The Turkish Cypriot side, he stressed, "agreed and signed an agreement which it is now questioning and once more violating, referring us again to a solution, contrary to the wishes of the people of Cyprus".
On the absence of any reference by Erdogan to two states in Cyprus, Palmas indicated that Ankara changes its views depending on who its interlocutor is.
"It would be right and constructive if Turkey were to state clearly its positions and views in order to help create those conditions that could lead to progress", he concluded.
In his statements Wednesday in Ankara Karamanlis reiterated the need for the full implementation of the July agreement.
"About the Cyprus problem: our aim is the full implementation of the July 8, 2006 agreement for a just, viable and functional solution that would lead to the reunification of Cyprus, so that all residents of the island, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots enjoy the benefits of the EU accession", he said.
He added that the Cyprus solution should be based on international law, UN Security Council resolutions, EU principles and the July agreement.
In his remarks to the press, Erdogan said that the Cyprus solution should be solved under UN auspices and expressed his support for the Annan plan.
"The spirit and the substance of the Annan plan could be preserved. Our effort is to solve the issue at the negotiating table. We, as guarantor powers, will encourage the interested sides for a solution", he added.
Cyprus, which joined the EU in 2004, has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.
President Papadopoulos and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat agreed on 8 July 2006, during a meeting in Nicosia in the presence of then UN Undersecretary for Political Affairs Ibrahim Gambari, to begin a process of bicommunal discussions on issues that affect the day-to-day life of the people and concurrently those that concern substantive issues, both contributing to a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem.

My other chars on other mounts work fine. Vah Shir are not supposed to use Black Shadow Panthers maybe?

10 thoughts on "Red Lily"
This was a very satisfying end to a very enjoyable trilogy It was also a bit of a scary book as the household ghost started to step up her haunting and actually started possessing one of the main characters Creepy Nora Roberts is a very talented writer of romance She must be because it is not one of my favourite genres but I can always enjoy one of her books Especially when she adds in a bit of the supernatural A good read and I am sorry I have finished the series.
Solid ending to the series Some of the characters were a bit irritating and the plot sometimes drooped a bit, but all in all a good ghost story Hayley s character was the most irritating at times Her and Harper s love story seemed to lack some of Nora s usual depth, but still it was a good story And I learned a lot about horticulture, so there s that.

I always hate when trilogies end, and the In the Garden trilogy BLUE DAHLIA, BLACK ROSE, and now RED LILY is no exception You get to know the characters so completely, and feel such a connection with them, that they become almost real and you just want to keep on reading about their lives RED LILY is the story of Harper Ashby, oldest son of Rosalind BLACK ROSE , and Hayley Phillips Hayley had come to Harper House the previous year, pregnant and alone, to beseech Roz, a distant cousin through marriage, for a job Unwed, with her baby s father out of the picture, Hayley wasn t looking for a handout, but for a chance to start over What Roz offered her was so much a job, a place to stay at the renowned Harper House, and a family Now she has her daughter Lily, a great job, and a roof over her head, but lately she s been thinking of Harper, the man whose been her friend through it all, in a brand new light that of a love interest Afraid to ruin their friendship by telling him how she feels, she keeps quiet Harper, on the other hand, has wanted Hayley in a than friendly fashion ever since he laid eyes upon her pregnant and all than a year ago But he s sure that she doesn t think of him in the same way, and he s leary of messing up the friendship that means to much to him As these two friends both wanting to be so much fight their attraction to each other, the resident ghost of the house, the Harper Bride, kicks into high gear She s always been loving and kind to the children in the house, singing them lullabies in the night, but she seems to hate men, and she s become especially violent now that Hayley is entertaining thoughts of romance As the whole crew Roz and her new husband Mitch, a geneologist trying his hardest to discover who the Harper Bride really is Stella and Logan, both employees of Roz s In the Garden shop and Hayley and Harper, who live on Harper Ashby land try to figure out the Bride s agenda, their lives are in danger, and their hearts and passions intertwine with that of the ghost s I loved this entire trilogy, and read RED LILY in one day It was a perfect conclusion to this powerful family saga, and I was especially happy to finally learn the answers to who the Harper Bride was, and what happened to her I will admit that there was one surprise twist to the storyline that I didn t see coming, and wasn t really thrilled with, but since Ms Roberts wrote it and I didn t, I can t complain Overall, the story was still great, and in time I learned to live with what I thought was an unnecessary plot device Pick up this trilogy today you won t be disappointed
This was my favorite in this Trilogy.At first I thought the trilogy got off to a bit of a slow start for me in Book 1, Blue Dahlia But for me trilogies seem to hit the ground running and suck me right in, or it s a slower build when the groundwork is being laid and the characters are introduced.I felt the trilogy built on itself and got better and better with each story, and this was a very fulfilling conclusion When nearing the end I felt like I knew these characters and didn t want the story to end Specifically to Book 3, Red Lily I knew Hayley and Harper would make a great romantic match from their first meeting in Book 1 The slow build of friends to lovers and Harper s complete love and acceptance or Hayley s daughter Lily was so sweet This story also puts the old ghosts to rest literally when they uncover the mystery of the Harper Bride, but not before she pulls some major creepy stunts The continuations of Stella and Logan, Roz and Mitch, and David was nice as well and added a lot to the story.Very nice trilogy, definitely a keeper And leave it to Nora to create a rich and romantic gardening centered trilogy while managing to leave out tired flower cliches like rose petals in the bed Very well done
I really hate to give Nora Roberts low marks on a book, but this one leaves me no choice Instead of a neat wrap to a compelling trilogy, it was of a dragged out ending to a story that just didn t stretch far enough In Blue Dahlia we met the whole crew starring in this series and got an introduction to the Harper Bride, who haunts Harper House, where most of them live In Black Rose we learned about the Harper family, and how the Harper Bride fit into it In this book, the rest of the secrets about the Harper Bride were revealed, but as to the romance, it felt like a rehash of things we already read in books 1 and 2.Hayley Phillips appeared at Harper House in Blue Dahlia, pregnant and alone in the world She s a distant cousin by marriage of Roz Harper, the mistress of Harper House, and the owner of the gardening center she started Even six months pregnant, Hayley caught the eye of Harper Ashby, Roz s eldest son who lives in a guest house on the property and works with grafting and other technical aspects of running the garden center Hayley s daughter Lily was born in the second book, and loves Harper like she would a daddy, so Hayley is fearful if she follows her feelings for Harper that everything will get messed up and she ll have to leave her wonderful new home When she finally acts on her feelings and finds that Harper reciprocates, there isn t much to be said So, instead of having their budding relationship develop, there are too many scenes where Hayley discusses her feelings with Roz, while going on and on about how odd it is to discuss her love life with her lover s mother Meanwhile, the Harper Bride is becoming a lot than a benign ghost who sings to children and breaks the occasional dish Amelia, as the ghost is known, starts to inhabit Hayley s body and mind, often sliding her own peevish thoughts in with Hayley s, and showing Hayley the world through her twisted view Because of this, the crew at Harper House becomes a bunch of amateur psychologists who analyze the whys and wherefores of the ghost s thoughts, feelings, and lifestyle In short, it became a bit much I half expected them to call Dr Mira for her input, but they appeared to have it all worked out themselves, all the way down to determining that the resident ghost really wouldn t have been a good mother after all I also just didn t care for the way the final showdown with the ghost went down It was too obvious what was going to happen, as well as being a bit anticlimactic.Naturally, a person can t read the first two books of this trilogy and skip the third Just don t expect as much from this one as the first two All three books are filled with likeable and admirable characters It just felt as if the story had already been told by the time we got to the third book.
La verdad es que ten a muchas ganas de esta pareja y de este libro en general uno, porque Hayley y Harper durante los dos libros anteriores me han gustado mucho tanto juntos como separados y dos, porque finalmente en este libro se resolv a el misterio de la Novia Harper, el fantasma que habitaba en la mansi n y que hac a m s malas obras que buenas Y la verdad, no me ha decepcionado para nada.Sobre la historia de los protagonistas, me ha gustado mucho Harper es un amor con may sculas y Hayley es una mujer de armas tomar Si a eso a adimos a la peque a Lily, la hija de un a o de Hayley a la mezcla, lo que sale es una historia tierna a la vez que apasionada.Lo nico malo de su relaci n, ha sido Amelia, la novia Harper, que ha estado incordiando a este parejita haciendo que Hayley fuera su recipiente para hablar, actuar y pensar y por lo tanto, hubiera ah unas conversaciones y escenas un poco espeluznantes.Sobre Amelia, decir que no me esperaba ese final, S sab amos muchas cosas, pero no que el final de esa mujer fuera as , eso no es una madre Si quieren saber de qu hablo, ya saben, lean la serie, no se van a arrepentir.Los secundarios han vuelto a ser la guinda del pastel, desde Roz y Mitch, pasando por Logan, Stella, David y los ni os En definitiva, Nora Roberts lo ha vuelto a hacer A pesar de ser una historia sencilla y sin mucho m s sobresaltos que un fantasma psic tico, me ha vuelto a enganchar a su pluma y a sus historias Deseando estoy de seguir leyendo obras de esta mujer.
Full review now posted Rating 4.5 5 starsThis was my favorite installment in the series Hayley is Roz s distant cousin from Little Rock, who packed up her life and moved after her dad passed away and she found herself in trouble from getting too cozy with a friend When she showed up on the doorstep of Harper House, she was six months pregnant and banking on family ties to give her and her baby a chance at a fresh start But she wasn t looking for charity Hayley is a hard worker, determined to earn every opportunity she s given Now, Hayley s baby, a gorgeous girl named Lily, is fourteen months old and has never known a home outside Harper House Hayley has built herself a life here, and a family She couldn t be happier, except for the fact that she s been celibate for almost two years and can t seem to focus her attentions on anyone but Harper, Roz s son and Hayley s coworker and semi boss Turns out the feeling is very, very mutual But neither will act because they both assume that their not just alone in their feelings, but wrong to even have them Thankfully, something changes, and we get my favorite of the three romances that make up this series.We also get a lot of our crazy, angry ghost We finally find out who she is, what she wants, and how she died And we find out all of these things in large part from Hayley, who the ghost has decided makes a perfect vessel So, in the course of this trilogy, our haunting goes from mainly benign spirit with an almost singular interest in singing children to sleep, to a poltergeist with rage issues and a serious hatred for any male above the age of twelve and any women who develops a romantic interest in one of said males, to a sly, conniving entity who has discovered the fine art of possession, but with an even bigger heaping helping of lunacy that seems to be expanding all the time Like all Nora stories, we have a happy ending, with the mystery element neatly tied up Which is why I enjoy her novels so much I always know exactly what I m getting, and sometimes predictability is a nice change of pace Nothing is comforting that sitting down with a book you already know you re going to love Original review can be found at Booknest.

When asked about her role in the community, Laviera Sanchez asserts that she did not have time to get much involved because she spent most of her time working. However, her youngest brother Tato became active in the community from an early age. She asserts that while living in the Lower East Side Tato began his relation with the Nuyorican movement and specifically with Miguel Algarín and Jorge Brandon. Laviera Sanchez emphasizes that at that time she did not want Tato in that world because she did not understand the transcendence of his work.

The Åland gaming company Paf has cut its yearly loss limit by €5,000. Last year Paf became the first international gaming company in the world to introduce a maximum limit for the amount a customer can lose in a year. This loss limit taken in combination with other improved measures in responsible gaming has significantly reduced the number of big players (high rollers) at Paf.
When the yearly loss limit was introduced it was set at €30,000 – Paf has now chosen to reduce this maximum limit to €25,000.
"We have promised that none of our players should be able to lose their house or their home, that's why we imposed a loss limit of €30,0000. We have now decided to strengthen that promise for the next year by lowering our maximum limit to €25,000 – which corresponds to just over €2,000 a month on average," says Paf CEO Christer Fahlstedt.
"We don't just want to sit down and pat ourselves on the shoulder when we have done something good. We have followed closely how the situation has developed, taken serious note of what the research says and the feedback we have received. A lower annual loss limit is good for our customers and it's the most effective thing we can do," adds Christer Fahlstedt.
Voluntary gaming limits have no effect
Voluntary gaming limits have long been a cornerstone of the tools gaming companies offer to implement responsible gaming to their customers. Research results from Stockholm University (see appendix) show that voluntary gaming limits have no effect.
"This new research reaches a terrible conclusion. It shows that one of the most common tools for responsible gaming – setting your own voluntary limits – is worthless and does not work. That's why we have chosen to lower our fixed mandatory loss limit further because it has a real effect," says Christer Fahlstedt.
The reduction will lead to lower revenues
Paf's decision to reduce its mandatory loss limit will also mean that Paf will lose about two percent of revenue, which corresponds to about €2 million.
"We have already promised that we will have no big players left in Paf's customer database in 2020. We are prepared to say no to this unsustainable money that a relatively small number of players in the gaming industry stand for," says Christer Fahlstedt.
"Of course, it is not good to lose revenue, but we are doing well as a gaming company and I am sure that our customers appreciate the position we have taken," adds Christer Fahlstedt.
The number of big players at Paf is still falling sharply
Earlier this year Paf decided to make public figures that show how much different customer segments win and lose while playing their online games. The latest figures show that the number of big players at Paf has continued to fall. Now the proportion of big players is down to only 0.08% of the customer database (see appendix). Paf's openness is unique in the gaming industry – an industry that tends to be extremely secretive about, in particular, the losses of big players.
"All of Paf's profits go to the benefit of society. Therefore we should also be able to say that the money we earn has not caused major problems in society. That is why we want to highlight the figures while doing something for real to stop big players. We are also encouraging others in the gaming industry to follow suit," says Daniela Johansson, Paf Deputy CEO and Chief Responsibility Officer.
The new lower loss limit of €25,000 will take effect on 1 January 2020 and will apply immediately to all online players at Paf.

The Straight Scoop on Integrated PlanningDate / Time: January 21, 2020 11:00 am
Please join EPA's Office of Wastewater Management for a free webcast:
The Straight Scoop on Integrated Planning
- Tuesday, January 21, 2020
- Register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2190483752331101196
With the enactment of the 2019 Water Infrastructure and Improvement Act (WIIA), U.S. EPA's Integrated Municipal Stormwater and Wastewater Planning Approach Framework is officially in the Clean Water Act. This webinar will highlight WIIA legislation, key elements of integrated planing and what it means for EPA, states and municipalities. It will also feature the City of Richmond, Virginia's (RVA) Department of Public Utilities experience developing their 2017 RVA Clean Water Integrated Plan and permit. For the state perspective, Kansas Department of Health and Environment's Bureau of Water Director will discuss how they worked with a metropolitan wastewater utility through a collaborative integrated planning approach that addressed multiple wastewater issues, including POTW upgrades, asset management, wet weather management and nutrient reduction across multiple watersheds.
Grace LeRose is the Program Manager for Water Quality Compliance for the City of Richmond Virginia Department of Public Utilities. She worked on the effort to obtain the first in Virginia Integrated permit for the City, a unique stakeholder driven and data intensive project. She has been involved in the clean water field for 29 years as a laboratory analyst, compliance officer and as a water quality specialist. She focuses on the interconnectedness of wastewater, stormwater and combined sewer systems. Grace earned a BS in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
Tom Stiles is the Director of the Bureau of Water at KDHE, overseeing the Public Water Supply, Underground Injection Control, NPDES permitting, TMDL, water quality standards and monitoring programs for the State of Kansas.

Stiles serves on the Board of Directors for the Association of Clean Water Administrators (ACWA), as well as acting as co-chair of its Permitting and Compliance Committee. He is a past chairman of the Interstate Council on Water Policy and the Western States Water Council Water Quality Committee. Stiles received his B.S. in Watershed Science at Colorado State University and his M.S. in Forest Hydrology from the University of Minnesota.
Robyn DeYoung is a Senior Environmental Specialist in US EPA's Office of Water in Washington, DC. She is leading OW's integrated stormwater and wastewater planning efforts. For the past ten years, she has worked with states, municipalities and utilities helping them incorporate innovative programs and quantify pollution reductions to meet state and federal environmental regulations. In 2015, she led a cross-office effort to quantify both air, health and water impacts of green infrastructure for Kansas City, MO. Prior to joining the U.S. EPA, Robyn worked at the Ohio EPA Air Pollution Division, where she created and managed a state-wide Emission Reduction Credit (ERC) Trade and Banking Program. Robyn holds a B.A. in Environmental Science and a M.A. in Energy and Environmental Analysis both from Boston University.

A Timely Bid In Support Of Equal Pay For Equal Work
In Washington today, the United States Senate will consider an important step toward restoring a core principle in our society: that employers should provide equal pay for equal work. Three years ago the Bush administration ignored the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's long-held interpretation of discrimination laws and court rulings across the country when it advocated a position that set back the progress made toward eliminating workplace discrimination. Unfortunately, five justices of the Supreme Court adopted the Justice Department's view in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and thereby created a new obstacle for victims of pay discrimination. The Supreme Court's 2007 decision also opened the door for increased abuse by employers.
Last year Senate Republicans thwarted our efforts in the last Congress to restore the idea that all Americans should be compensated equally for equal work, and we were blocked from even considering our bill to fix that mistake.
Today the Senate will try again to garner the votes necessary to debate corrective legislation aimed at reversing the damage of the Supreme Court's decision. In that case, Lilly Ledbetter, a supervisor at Goodyear Tire and an employee for more than 20 years, discovered through an anonymous note that her employer had been paying her significantly less than male coworkers with the same position, title, and the same or less seniority. Because she was unaware of the inequitable pay for years, she did not file a claim for protection under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act until she became aware of the disparity. A jury found that Ms. Ledbetter was owed an estimated $225,000 in back pay. The Supreme Court overturned her jury verdict in a narrow 5-4 decision, taking from her any chance of recovering those lost wages. The corporation is even allowed to continue to discriminate against her through diminished retirement benefits.
Congress passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to protect American workers against wage discrimination based on an individual's race, color, religion, sex or national origin, but the Supreme Court's Ledbetter decision upends both the spirit and clear intent of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. It also sends the message to employers that wage discrimination cannot be punished as long as it is kept under wraps. At a time when one third of private sector employers have rules prohibiting employees from discussing their pay with each other, the Court's decision ignores a reality of the workplace: that pay discrimination often is intentionally hidden.
Victims of discrimination like Ms. Ledbetter shoulder the burden of proving discrimination. That task is made even more difficult as time goes on. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would not eliminate the existing statute of limitations, and it would not disturb employer protections built into existing law, such as limiting back pay in most cases to two years. But our bill would reinstate the long-held interpretation of when the 180-day time limit to file such claims begins to run. It would allow workers who are continuing to be shortchanged to challenge that ongoing discrimination.
In the midst of an economic crisis, we should not make it easier for employers to deny workers fair pay. Families who depend on hard-earned wages should not be penalized for the unknown -- and sometimes, intentionally hidden -- discriminatory actions of their employers.
Today I will chair a hearing to consider the historic nomination of Eric H. Holder Jr. to be the next Attorney General of the United States. One of the Justice Department's most essential roles is to protect the civil rights of all Americans and to enforce our discrimination laws. Unfortunately, this week we received yet another report from the Justice Department's Inspector General detailing how the Civil Rights Division has been politicized by the Bush administration. It should come as no surprise that one of the many consequences of this politicization was legal positions like the Department's ill-conceived advocacy in 2006 in the Ledbetter case. The next attorney general must restore the Justice Department to its mission of representing America's high ideals, rather than the narrow views of one political party.
As we look forward to the inauguration of President-elect Obama, today's generations of Americans are standing on the brink of history. Now is not the time to revert back to an era of inequality. I hope the Senate will take the necessary step forward and overwhelmingly vote to consider this vital, bipartisan remedy. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act tackles a pocketbook problem that reaches into the livelihoods of Vermont families and honors the principles of fairness and opportunity that have made America stronger. On the eve of an historic inauguration, this not only is a timely reminder of the American Dream; it is the right thing to do and the right time to do it.
# # # # #
[Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He is an original cosponsor of the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and in September 2008 chaired a Judiciary Committee hearing which featured testimony from Ms. Ledbetter.]
