Absence and Presence in the Time of Corona
By Everyday Bahrain Editorial team
Translation by: Kawthar Alarab
"I do not know of anyone, who has seen Coronavirus visibly or discretely, however, I have known, as many others, its attributes and doings, its traces and the trails it took; our lives' transformation in its presence has been the best evidence of its existence."Atheer Al Sada (2020). Diaries of Home Quarantine 16. Facebook page.
In a small country like Bahrain, where the distance from its east cost to the west does not exceed 20 kilometres, social relations are a vital part of life. For people of Bahrain, presence in space and time, for various social, religious, national and other occasions is at the core of being who they are. The weekly family gatherings sit on top of the social customs pyramid in Bahrain, where families meet, tirelessly, at the home of their grandparents, including extended family members and cousins. And when it comes to weddings and funerals, attendance and participation is a duty! Although, they are excused if absent.
We have all witnessed how the Coronavirus pandemic has imposed pivotal changes to life patterns globally, and Bahrain was not isolated from that. Ever since Coronavirus arrived in Bahrain, it immediately paralysed life as we know it, imposing absence, where presence was prevalent in Bahrain's society. The drivers behind human connection; of love, care, passion, responsibility towards others, are the very same that are pushing us today to stay apart from loved ones, and absent from events we care about.
In the midst of people's fixation on daily statistics of current and discharged cases, as if we are in a race against time to see who will overcome this pandemic first, a number of photographers have been working on documenting scenes of absence and presence in daily life. Their works have ranged to shed light on family; a mother who is close and far at the same time, holding a long-absent loved one, to the silence of city streets, and cafes and majlis' vacant of their usual occupants.
Mohamed Dhaif
Saar, Bahrain. March 2020.
My wife, Dr Ejlal Al Alawi, has been heading the Coronavirus Testing Clinic for Contact Cases inside Bahrain, since the outbreak started. Like the rest of the medical crew, she spends her day at the clinic from the early hours of the morning till late in the evening. Naturally, this has taken a toll on our family, as we constantly worry for her every day, being in a vulnerable position to be infected, which if it happens (God forbid), the disease will easily spread to the rest of the family. Not to mention, the effect this is leaving on the children being away from their mother, especially with their academic achievements. I am trying to fill the gap, but there are parts that I still feel unable to do as good as her, especially with getting them committed to virtual learning.
On her part, my wife is gladly taking her role, and even finds joy in supporting her country in such a critical time, where sacrifice is needed from everyone. We welcome her every night once we hear her coming through the door, especially that she cannot take our calls during the day due to the workload. She keeps a safe distance upon arriving, despite longing to hold Yusuf and Moayed after a very tough day. Soon after, she is back on her phone to check on lab results and case updates, and then the calls to her team start planning the next day.
Her energy when she is back home usually doesn't last longer than an hour, until exhaustion gets the best of her and she surrenders to sleep. She needs this rest to be able to continue to give the next day. On the rare occasion that she is able to spend more time with us, I try to get her to open up and talk about her feelings and concerns. I even started reading on virology, to make the conversation more interesting.
On 17 March 2020, I went to the clinic to be tested, because I had a light cough. My wife's exceptional leadership really caught my eye, and I felt extremely proud of her. I wished that I could photograph or document what is happening there, because the efforts of the medical crew are truly praiseworthy.
Since she is unable to take our calls during the day, I usually send her WhatsApp messages, expressing our pride in and love for her. She says they make her very happy, and that she goes back to read them whenever she has time, because they lift her spirits and help with weariness she feels.
Following the suspension of schools and universities, schools started implementing virtual classes, despite varying capacities and readiness. Our children, Yusuf and Moayed, start their day by logging onto their school's electronic learning portal, and working on their homework and assignments. The process is not without flaws, especially with their tendency to slack and play, using their mother's absence, as children do.
Zainab Al Zain
Karzakkan, Bahrain. 17 March 2020 – 8:00 pm.
Despite the many official warnings against gatherings, to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, the gathering around our house formed rapidly, like a rebellion of passion.
My father informed us that we received a call regarding the release of my brother, following the Royal Pardon, and in less than 10 minutes, people have gathered around the house to welcome my brother, who has been in prison for 3 years. This pardon coincided with the outbreak of Coronavirus in Bahrain, and over the past three days, up to 900 prisoners have been released.
A leaflet of instructions on the door, instructed everyone to avoid shaking hands, hugs, and urged them to wash their hands and use sanitizers, however, emotions broke through all the instructions and recommendations. Overwhelming joy took the crowd, tearful laughter, the scent of Mashmoom (sweet basil) mixed with the smell of sanitizer, in the midst of the ladies abayas, all wrapped around my brother, surrounded by celebratory songs.
Dimistan, Bahrain. 20 March 2020 – 11:00 am.
The local vegetable and fish market in Dimistan is crowded, and the streets around it full of cars, following a viral video of one of the vendors, urging people to go before the market is closed as a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.
The traffic was abnormal, it took me 10 minutes to pass a few metres through the market. People's faces were scared and anxious, whilst the vendors maintained their smiles and usual lively and humorous demeanour. Despite that, the general atmosphere was uneasy. One of the vendors told me, with a content tone: "we don't know what tomorrow holds, perhaps we will have to deliver fish from our homes to the people."
What is noteworthy, is that the market remained open, and vendors were allowed to continue their usual work and activity.
Hasan Al Nasheet
Manama, Bahrain. 20 March 2020.
Manama Souq (market), exudes liveliness through its ancient cafes, spread across the edges of the old market and in its depths. These cafes have become the ideal spot for many Bahrainis; families or individuals, as well as residents and visitors, who have formed an affinity with the place, and found joy in it, and a feel they had sought. I would go during the weekend to take photos in Manama Souq, of crowded cafes, the ringing of stirring spoons against glass cups, clinking sounds of plates and tableware, loud conversations, and occasionally, bickering with café owners over tables' availability and long waiting time. The hustle of workers and people's sounds, all disappeared in a moment on Friday, 20 March 2020.
Hajji Café, usually brings together a lot of families, youth and elderly, and barely closes, as they open with the first light and don't close till around 8:30 in the evening. All its doors are closed now, the family section and other sections. Zuhair Hajji is there alone today, with a small number of employees, who were sitting on the chairs. "Today is a long break", Zuhair said, "as you can see, no one! No customers, no movement, nothing till now". He proclaimed with a tone of sadness. He is not used to this, perhaps, never even imagined it, and if he did, it wasn't this way. I took a photo of him, and another of his employees, and of the place. I had never seen the café empty, except for late at night, when everyone had left the Souq.
There is no bigger hit to a street photographer than empty places. What do they capture now, when they are seeking the human element that breathes life into their photographs? That livens up the place and gives a deeper meaning to their work? It seems that the truth of the time of Corona is too real. Which makes the photo impactful, even if after a while.
Hussain Al Kumaish
Al Markh, Bahrain. 20 March 2020.
In response to the directions from the official authorities around suspending all gatherings to prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Shia sect has suspended all activities in mosques and Matam's. They began organising religious activities and lectures online, live streamed or recorded on social media platforms in an attempt to continue their religious, social and cultural activism, giving access to people who are used to attending these ceremonies and celebrations, as well as providing options for productive quarantine activities.
The photo is from the commemoration of Imam Mousa Al Kadhem, the seventh Shia Imam, showing the empty matam, in striking contrast to what would have been a fully crowded scene, now with no more than 10 people setting up the live stream. The photo shows the techniques that these young volunteers are using, to transmit the sermon, which was viewed by over 800 people at one time from inside and outside Bahrain.
Hussain Almosawi
Al Malikiyah, Bahrain. 20 March 2020.
Chaos fills our house in the early morning, following my niece and nephew's sleepover with their grandmother (my mother). My sister works at Salmaniya Medical Complex, which keeps her from staying with her children following the suspension of schools in Bahrain.
Their presence always brings a lot of joy and great chaos. Their morning starts with breakfast, made by my mother, and then they spend the rest of the day playing on their iPad or PlayStation. Between their endless requests and bickering, my mother tries to occupy them with different activities, like helping her clean around the house, or plant the small patch outside the front door.
As the weekend draws closer, exhaustion takes its toll on my mother, and looking after them becomes quite a weary task. This is what she proclaims, after she reprimands them. Luckily, the beach is only 700 metres away from our house, which allows me to take them to the beach, and have some quiet time, nonetheless.
Al Hamala, Bahrain. 24 March 2020.
The Ministry of Health announced the third Coronavirus (COVID-19) death. The deceased was a 65-year-old Bahraini male citizen. I happened to be passing through Hamala that night, when I witnessed, from a distance, the burial procedure of Mr Isa Al Haddar, by a specialised medical team and under increased security measures, to ensure people's safety.
In the dark of night, this pandemic imposed such harsh lonesomeness in the face of this tragedy, where the traditional burial customs, and funeral ceremonies were not permitted. People sufficed with conveying condolences through social media platforms.

text: ePRNews Jennifer BergPhore Blockchain Announces Partnership With StoneCash Group for B2B Cross-Border Transactions Jul 10, 2018 Mark 0 1 Press Release (ePRNews.com) - LONDON - Jul 10, 2018 - Phore Blockchain, a leading cryptocurrency and blockchain platform, and StoneCash, a global purchasing group for the stone industry, announced today a partnership to integrate PHR, Phore's native cryptocurrency, into the StoneCash online marketplace for use in both local and cross-border transactions. The StoneCash Marketplace is a B2B platform where qualified suppliers list inventory and members purchase materials such as marble, granite and quartzite.Since the advent of Bitcoin nine years ago, the system behind cryptocurrencies has been focused mainly on the speculative market, with very few connections made in real-world transactions. Today, the partnership between StoneCash and Phore Blockchain changes the status quo.The cloud-based, StoneCash website has achieved enormous success, becoming the largest natural stone online marketplace in the world. In addition to offering a wide selection of stone materials, StoneCash also enables logistics coordination to mix partial orders from different vendors. This allows members to choose the exact materials they need from a large online inventory from both local distributors and factories located all over the world. This partnership with StoneCash, an established and reputable business, underlines Phore Blockchain's commitment to providing solutions to real-world problems. StoneCash is an innovative and forward-thinking organization with exciting ideas. Anthony AlleyneCo-CEO, Phore Blockchain The integration of PHR for use in the StoneCash online marketplace will allow customers instant, low cost transactions, drastically reducing the high costs and lengthy transaction times associated with traditional order processing. In addition, when smart contract capability is rolled out later this year, the Phore solution will enable both parties to fulfill their agreements cryptographically on the Phore blockchain, further reducing time and costs associated with a sale. Smart contracts cannot be altered once deployed, guaranteeing both parties fulfill their agreements. This capability is attractive in business dealings that transact with large sums of money, as in the stone industry."Most transactions made on the StoneCash marketplace are cross-border, making this partnership with Phore critical to enhancing the ecommerce experience for our customers," said Luca Acerbi, StoneCash Group's Business Development Director. "With the Phore Blockchain solution, the period of time required to transfer capital globally decreases from several days, to seconds. StoneCash members will now be able to conduct business with decentralized money, and thus skip intermediaries, such as banks, which make the payment process comparatively slow and costly.""This partnership with StoneCash, an established and reputable business, underlines Phore Blockchain's commitment to providing solutions to real-world problems. StoneCash is an innovative and forward-thinking organization with exciting ideas," said Phore Co-CEO Anthony Alleyne. "We look forward to an effective and powerful collaboration with StoneCash, as well as bringing practical use of PHR to a successful online business."About Phore Blockchain: Phore Blockchain enables the transfer of value across an accessible, standardised ecosystem that is secure, flexible and scalable. The platform supports a variety of applications and ventures which accord a growing range of capabilities including reliable and fast transactions that are either transparent or private, rewards for network participation, a decentralised marketplace, decentralised applications (dAAPs), and offers accessibility and usability. Phore Blockchain also offers blockchain technologies and services for B2B clients.

Members can purchase the materials they need on this global marketplace. In the first 18 months of activity, and a seed fund investment of L800k, StoneCash has built a strong community around the world.

India's decision to decriminalise homosexuality has not only been celebrated in the country but even praised across the globe. So, it was not surprising that it got everyone talking from international newspapers to TV talk shows. Recently, The Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar appeared on the Ellen Show, and the show host and popular LGBTQ activist Ellen DeGeneres too brought the topic up. Praising the country's decision to let everyone choice whom they love, Nayyar went emotional and to show the historic decision. The show featured the front page of The Indian Express.
The front page of the newspaper published on September 7, a day after the verdict was announced read, "Love at first right". It featured activists and petitioners Kesav Suri and his partner Cyril Feuillebois celebrating the Supreme Court verdict reading down 158-year-old Section 377 that held same-sex relations unnatural, and therefore, criminal.
Nayyar also spoke about the last few days of shooting his television debut The Big Bang Theory, the longest sitcom as they are in their final season.

Aight I just hit 50 and seems the port is the only wf that pops in which we usually lose defiant side, in fact always lose. I got some T1 gears so far and want to work on prestige but feel well behind the power curve due to people already stacking heavy pvp already.

I see all the QQ threads, but even with all of our badness, what would be the MOST optimal in your opinion/experiance.
Thanks in advance.

I am not a vegetarian, but I just do not eat meat – this means I eat fish, chicken, turkey, eggs and dairy. I do not drink alcohol either (boring, I know). Most diets seem to cater for either for veggies or meat eaters and usually include a whole raft of ingredients I cannot eat. Bought the BSD book and read up on the things to avoid – only to find that some of the recipes include those items to be avoided (fruit juice, alcohol, dried fruit). So I am somewhat confused. I am trying to lose weight to stop myself become a type II diabetic and encouraging my father in the process to join in (he is a type II diabetic – I will not be directing him to the VLCD without his doctor's approval). We did make a start on the Med-style Italian diet last November/December and managed to reduce dad's blood sugar reading by about 25 points and lose some weight in the process, but the medical team did not reduce his meds despite encouraging him to continue. Dad is missing his pasta and his weight loss has now faltered. We both need to lose weight. Just need to know how "serious" the avoidance list of food is if the recipes both Dr. M. puts in the BSD book, the BSD recipe book and contributors put on the recipe pages include them, which sort of undermines the principles of the BSD. Does anyone know?

I don't eat meat, so many of the recipes in the book did not appeal to me. – I use the fatsecret app on my mobile phone to record all that I eat. I focus on targets on the level of carbs, protein and fat, and then devise my meals on what suits me. – Many people have had success following a simple formula. Aim for under 20g of carbs a day set a protein level in the range of 0.6 to 0.8g for each kilo of target weight, and make up the rest of your calories with healthy fat. I know that many others have followed the same system.
There are people on the forum who had T2 and were on medication. I am sure they will pop up and help you in due course, but I would recommend joining the Week beginning thread. Only a limited number of us read all new posts, most people just focus on the weekly thread. On that thread you will find a wide range of people from newcomers to people who have achieved their targets and remain on the forum to offer a helping hand to others.

Hi constantdieter
I'm using the BSD recipe book. It has a section called 'occasional treats' and in there you find a few recipes that do use things like dried fruit, juice and even maple syrup. The book says that these are 'occasional treats' and basically there because although it would be better if you didn't have them, they are still better than regular sweet carb-rich alternatives. But none of these recipes are in the sample 8-week menu planner for the diet. So in short if you can avoid them do, but if it is that or a pack of standard biscuits, go for the dried fruit and juice stuff. Personally I stay well clear of that section for now because these things wake up my sweet tooth.
Just as JGWEN I also use the Fatsecret app. But having said that if you eat fish, turkey and chicken you can cook pretty much anything in the book, just substitute the beef and pork (one of my favourite recipes is a beef stir fry except I mostly have it with chicken or prawns). I normally eat a lot of beans and pulses and I've cut down on those a fair bit because they are quite high in carbs.
On the pasta, rice and bread front I'm afraid there isn't much good news… so if your dad really cannot manage without his pasta, this might not be the ideal diet for him. Having said that, while I have come to really like courgettes, cauliflower, cabbage and all the other pasta and rice alternatives, my kids have not and they don't need to lose weight or anything so I'll sometimes cook pasta or rice for them on the side. That's a bit of a personal call I think.
Hope this helps a bit

Thank you to JGWEN and Britta. Will attempt to substitute meat for the stuff I do eat! Will also have to invest in an i-phone to use the app you mention. Thanks again.

Queen Elizabeth II, together with her daughter Princess Anna, attended the ceremony of introducing the largest ship into the fleet for the history of the Royal Navy – "Queen Elizabeth". This was reported by the press service of the royal family, reports Interfax.
The ceremony was held in Portsmouth. The Queen strolled along the ship with his captain Jerry Kood and talked to the crew members.
In early July, Elizabeth II consecrated the ship, breaking a bottle of Scotch single malt whiskey on its side.
"Queen Elizabeth" – the largest aircraft carrier in the history of the British fleet. The area of its deck corresponds to three football fields. The aircraft carrier can develop a speed of 25 knots, its displacement is 65 thousand tons, while the length of the flight deck is 280 meters, and the width is 70 meters.
The crew of the aircraft carrier will initially be about 1 thousand people, and later on its board will be deployed 40 combat aircraft with their crews.
To accomplish combat missions, the ship will begin in 2021 as part of an aircraft carrier strike group.

Testing and reviewing top selling gas grills for 2020, all under $500.
And since MeatGeeks are such big fans of smoking meats, our winning fuel grill must be able to not merely sear steak, but also allow you to a first-rate sluggish cook utilising the method that is 2-zone.
Napoleon TravelQ Pro Portable Gas Grill with Cart and Side Shelf Kit
Napoleon is famous for making exemplary built-in gas grills for luxury backyard kitchen experiences. I was so pumped to see a smaller standalone grill from them that is complete with a great list of features.
The TravelQ lightweight comes equipped with heavy-duty "Wave" porcelain cooking grids over 285 square ins of total cooking space. It offers two stainless steel burners and 12,000 total BTUs of power (only a little disappointing, I became longing for similar to 10,000 each).
The Napoleon includes folding side shelves and a lower rack for basic storage. It also sits on a scissor that is folding for simple storage space and portability. It's also custom made with insertable griddle dishes them separately if you want to purchase.
This grill is not as easily portable as the Coleman RoadTrip, however it is a solid option for a smaller garden area.
Napoleon Triumph Gas with 4 Burners
I really like this big grill that is stationary Napoleon. It screams quality in every inch that is square is a great choice if you have more to pay.
The Triumph comes with 4 main burners and 1 lidded part burner, 57,200 BTUs of overall energy, 665 square inches of overall kitchen area, stainless burners and sear plates, their signature, cast iron revolution cooking grids enameled in porcelain for consistent heat and cooking and an instant begin electonic ignition system.
It comes installed on a well-designed,best gas grills for the money, contemporary case for additional storage, along with two roomy, foldable side shelves for dinner prep with integrated utensil holders. I'm additionally a huge fan for the integrated bottle opener in the side – for critical alcohol consumption while cooking.
Royal Gourmet Dual 3-Burner Gas and Charcoal Grill Combo
This is a grill for a griller that is regular a large contingent of hungry friends and family to shovel burgers into. It is actually two separate grills situated on the same stand than can be utilized in tandem or individually.
The ZH3003 offers both gas and charcoal sides for a cook that is versatile, 810 square inches of total cooking area, 27,000 BTUs of power for 3 burners, porcelain-coated cast iron cooking grates, a removable grease drip tray on the gas grill side, and a removable ashtray design for the charcoal half. The charcoal grill also comes equipped with front and air that is upper to maximize the flow of air.
It has a lowered cart with a great deal of great storage space and pop up side shelves for prep work.
Royal Gourmet Timeless Stainless 6-Burner Cabinet Gas Grill with Side Sear Burner
This is certainly a massive grill. The Royal Gourmet Vintage 6 could be the grilling machine that is largest with this list and is a shiny steel garden beast.
Here's what you can expect from the RG: 5 steel that is stainless plus an extra powerful sear burner AND a lidded side burner for sauce prep. Total power that is cooking in at a serious 71,000 BTUs even for temperature circulation. The sum total cooking space with this guy is 802 square ins including a 199 square inch rack that is warming. The cook grates are porcelain-coated cast iron.
You'll additionally find a built-in hood mounted thermometer, an effortlessly removable grease tray, lower cabinet and roomy side shelves and a quick, electronic ignition system. This grill doesn't have back closure so that it will vent out the backside. This is the main reason it falls so far down on our list. It gets high markings for offering a great deal area for a price tag that is relatively low.

Good afternoon everyone,
Mrs Singh's assembly has been posted into your Google Classroom.
With best wishes,
Mr Watts
A message about Music home learning from Mrs Agnew
I've put together a short powerpoint with an idea for some music home learning based around the composer, Aaron Copland.
My idea is that we had a different composer each month, to encourage you all to listen to music and reflect on it.
I've used the BBC Ten Pieces website as a base for this, as it's got excellent video clips where the presenter explains what is happening in the music.
Please look at the power point presentation, that is at the bottom of this page, for more details.
With best wishes,
Mrs Agnew
Good afternoon children, I hope that you are managing as well as you can, whilst you are not in school. A few days ago, Mrs Singh and I were thinking of some of the other things that you could do with your time, as well as working on whatever your Class Teacher asks you to do.
Below is a list of some of the things we thought of:
playing in the garden
copying and drawing objects, art, comics etc - try playing cards (particularly the picture cards; jack, queen, king)
colouring in (good for handwriting practise too!)
learning calligraphy
learning your times-tables
playing board games
building indoor or garden shelters
climbing trees in the garden
construction with lego or something similar
instrumental practise
learning a foreign language online
joining in with 'PE with Joe'
Gardening - perhaps growing vegetables
Joining in with Gareth Malone's 'Great British home Chorus' (Youtube at 5.30pm every day)
I look forward to seeing you all as soon as I can.
Mr Watts
Dear Parents and children,
We hope that you are adjusting well to being at home, when you would normally be at school.
During this period of closure, we would like to use this page as the central location for information and updates – please check back regularly.
You might have noticed that we have added it to the top menu, as well as adding in some new pages, on the right hand side, just above where you would normally look for your class page.
We thought we would try to make it a little bit easier for you to find home learning activities, during this period of closure.
Mrs Singh and Mr Watts will also put information, activities or ideas on this page periodically – watch out for an upcoming assembly by Mrs Singh.
In addition to all of the above, we are experimenting with having a YouTube channel. Please do bear with us as this is very new!
Please follow this link to have a look!

More changes coming to Copperas Cove utility billing
By BRITTANY FHOLER
Cove Leader-Press
On the heels of Tuesday afternoon's announcement by the City of Copperas Cove that only mail-in and in-person payments would be accepted for utilyt payments starting Dec. 1, City Manager Ryan Haverlah followed up with an announcement that online payments would continue to be accepted through Dec. 9.
Updates on payment options include mailing payments to P.O. Box 1419 Copperas Cove, TX 76522; paying in person at the Utility Office at Suites A and B at City Hall, 914 S. Main Street; the addition of a drop box option at Suite B; and the ability to pay online until December 9.
The city is also working with Copperas Cove Police Department to authorize an option for a drop off location in the lobby, to provide a secure area for customers to drop off payments.
The announcement and more information came during a special meeting of the Copperas Cove city council on Tuesday, when the council directed Haverlah to begin negotiating a contract for software needs for the city's inhouse full-service utility administration department.
Following the Nov. 9 announcement that the city's utility billing provider, Fathom, would be going out of business, the city staff and city council have been busy trying to pick up the pieces.
Tuesday's meeting was another step in the process of bringing utility billing and customer service back under the city. Haverlah informed the council Tuesday that the city has selected people for the three CSR positions, with a tentative start date for the week of December 2.
Haverlah said the city is still looking to hire a billing technician. The job posting for that position is available at https://copperascove.applicantpro.com/jobs/1262613.html.
During previous council meetings and during the Public Forum held last Friday, it was announced that Fathom was ceasing operations on November 30, 2019.
During Tuesday's meeting, Haverlah announced that this date had changed.
"As far an update, in our discussions with FATHOM last week on Friday we received notification of the possibility that Fathom would continue providing services to their clients in light of all the necessary transitions that must occur and knowing that it wouldn't occur as quickly as the banks felt it would, the possibility that they would continue providing service until December 17, 2019," Haverlah said. "As of today, they have solidified that they will maintain services through December 9, 2019, so customers can continue to make online payments and we will continue to process payments locally as well as payments that are mailed or dropped off through the systems that we currently have under contract and are being provided to the city."
Some of the third-party contract vendors that Fathom has been using are the ones responsible for allowing Fathom to continue operations until December 9.
During the Special Meeting held last Thursday and the Public Forum held last Friday, Haverlah said that the city needed to purchase software for reading meters and for maintenance of the collection system, which he said was estimated to cost $30,400.
The actual quote for a 36-month contract through Core & Main, the sole source provider of Copperas Cove's geographic region for Neptune is $27,843.75.
Legally, $50,000 is the limit necessary to need council approval before entering into a contract, but Haverlah said he wanted to "make sure because we've been informing our customers we would keep everyone apprised of what was going on and I want to make sure this is very open and direct as to what we are doing and what we are proceeding with."
The council authorized Haverlah to procure the software agreement and directed him to begin negotiating a contract with Incode regarding a customer information system, customer portal, work order system and billing printer/mailer to bring back to council for approval.
Incode's customer portal is not as "robust", "pretty" "user-friendly" or "intuitive" compared to other companies' customer portals, as described by Haverlah and Public Works Director Scott Osburn.
Haverlah also asked the council to give direction on him approaching WaterSmart, the third-party company that currently provides the city's customer portal with Fathom. WaterSmart approached the city and offered to continue providing the customer portal, even after Fathom ceases operations and goes dark.
However, after Fathom ceases, the information in the portal online would be static and not change- so customers would not see changes to their bill online or changes in their water usage online, but they would still have a place to pay their bill online, with payments going to the city. All of this would be at no charge, Haverlah said.
Copperas Cove has a 55 percent customer base engagement online for using WaterSmart, which is the highest nationwide.
Haverlah requested direction on whether city staff should pursue looking into using WaterSmart as the vendor for the customer portal, separate from Incode, to which council members agreed.

This 1992 BMW 850i was acquired by the seller 12 years ago, reportedly from its 92-year-old original owner in Southern California. Power is from a 5.0-liter V12 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and the car is finished in black over a light grey leather interior with a a period BMW mobile phone, an electrically-adjustable steering column, automatic climate control, and a sunroof. Service under current ownership included replacement of the fuel pumps, hoses, and filter as well as the thermostat, fan clutch, control arms, thrust arm bushings, and more. This 850i shows 66k miles and is offered at no reserve with partial service records, BMW literature, an owner's manual an AutoCheck report, and a clean Arizona title in the seller's name.
The body is finished in black and features an electric sunroof and tinted windows. Chips on the hood can be viewed in the gallery and video below. The AutoCheck report notes an accident in November 2011, which the seller states involved the rear bumper and caused cracking in the paint which has not been repaired.
Chrome wheels with BMW center caps wear 225/55R-16 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. The right and left lower control arms were replaced at approximately 54k miles, as were the thrust arm bushings and the right tie rod assembly.
The 2+2 interior is upholstered in Light Parchment leather that shows wear and a hole in the lower left driver seat bolster. Darker carpets are protected by color-matched floor mats, while the seller notes that the headliner is loose and bubbling. Several lines of pixels in the onboard computer display have failed, though it is said to function properly. A period BMW-branded mobile phone mounted to the center console.
Instrumentation includes a tachometer, a 190-mph speedometer, and a digital odometer showing 66k miles, approximately 24k of which have been added by the seller in 12 years. The leather-wrapped steering wheel features an airbag and is mounted to an electrically-adjustable column. The air conditioning system was converted from R12 to R134a refrigerant three years ago.
The 5.0-liter M70 V12 was rated at 296 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque when new and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The fuel tank was flushed and the pump, hoses, and filter were replaced in 2015 at 58k miles. A new thermostat, fan clutch, and drive belt were also installed. An oil and filter change was performed at approximately 64k miles.
Additional chassis images can be viewed in the gallery.
BMW literature, an owner's manual, a glove box flashlight, and service records from the seller's ownership are available along with partial records from the previous owner.
The December 2019 AutoCheck report lists two owners in California and Arizona and shows the aforementioned accident in November 2011. A walk-around video can be viewed below.

Homemade Toys and a Toy Fast
Poor children in South Sudan and other countries often do not have a lot of toys. Visitors have seen children playing with a ball made from old, worn out, rolled-up socks, and a kite made from string and a piece of a trash bag.
For one day, try not playing with any toy or game that originally came from a store or was ordered online. Do not watch TV or use a computer or phone for entertainment. Pray for children in South Sudan.

In reply to Re: klonopin side effects, posted by gilbert on December 17, 2001, at 16:23:26
Hi Gil,
I can tell you for sure that sexual side effects differ amongst the different benzos. I've only tried two of them: Xanax and Valium. I found the sexual dysfunction of 10mg of Valium to be considerably greater than 3mg of Xanax, even though this is supposed to be equivalent in anxiolytic potency to 30mg of Valium.
I have not tried Klonopin, but you are certainly not the first to complain about sexual side effects with it. As for will it go away in time, I cannot answer that one. I have been on 3mg of Xanax for about six months but I started taking it almost immediately in conjunction with Lamictal because Lamictal could not control my anxiety. I currently also have sexual side effect problems with this combo but I can't say which med (maybe both?) is to blame. It has not gone away yet and doesn't seem like it is going to: it has been too stable.
There is a thread not too far above where I discuss with Rick about using small amounts of Selegiline to improve sexual function while on other meds. He has done extensive research on the topic and based on the evidence I am going to try it myself. Perhaps you should consider it also.
I know what it is like to have a benzophobe doctor. My PCP says he very rarely prescribes them and says that my being on 200mg of Lamictal and 3mg Xanax per day is a, "shit load of medication". Of course I felt simultaneously ashamed and angry, but I have a very good pdoc. He believes that the pendulum has swung too far against benzos and has no hesitation in prescribing me Xanax. Like most PD users, I never use more than what keeps me comfortable and he knows that. My advice to you: I had to go through quite a few pdocs before I found one who made himself part of a team with me rather than one who simply demanded conformity. It is a hassle but once you find your match you will find the effort well worth it.
All the best on what is always a difficult road.
> Is it possible to attenuate to klonopin's side effect.....for me the sexual side effect is not comletely unbearable and the med is certainly smoother than multi dosing xanax when I have taken it I have never stayed on it for more than 2 weeks. Is there anyone out there who had mild to moderate sexual side effects that went away after a couple of weeks. I am also not completely sure this side effect is not pyschosymatic......because no one else seems to experience what I have in the way of mild impotence from klonopin at 1.5mg per day.

Lenovo upgrades the Yoga C730 with a beautiful AMOLED display
For people who prefer top-of-the line TVs, Lenovo's 4K AMOLED upgrade to its Yoga C730 laptop should encourage you to take notice—this should be one high-quality multimedia 360-degree convertible PC.
Lenovo's Yoga C730 with AMOLED should be one of the new products that attracts passersby to Lenovo's booth at CES 2019 here in Las Vegas. AMOLED displays are known for deeper, inky blacks, where the light output is actually restricted to make dark scenes look, well, dark. Pairing that luscious 15.6-inch display with the C730's integrated JBL speakers and Dolby Atmos audio makes for a laptop with visual as well as audio pop.

The phoney war between Multiplex and Cleveland bridge, which started when the steel contractor was thrown off the Wembley national stadium project in July, has turned into the real thing,
Multiplex, the main contractor on the job, last Friday served a writ on Cleveland Bridge in an effort to finally resolve the dispute.
A Multiplex statement said: "This situation has dragged on for three months. Multiplex was not prepared to allow this to continue and last week took the initiative … This writ is to resolve the contractual disputes relating to the Wembley project."
Cleveland Bridge had conducted a guerilla campaign against its former employer by adjudicating individual disputes within the larger one. Last week it was awarded nearly £2m by an adjudicator, its second such win.
It also issued a High Court writ claiming £20m shortly after it was sacked, but did not serve it on Multiplex. It finally served the writ on Friday, within hours of Multiplex's opening fire.
A Multiplex source said that its action had in effect forced Cleveland Bridge's hand, and that the two parties differences would be resolved by the legal battle over the steelwork contractor's writ.
The source said: "The idea of the Multiplex writ is to make Cleveland Bridge look at the bigger picture of the dispute, and not just specifics within it. It can no longer hide behind the threat of High Court action. It's time for action. Multiplex wants to play out the end game."
It's time for action; Multiplex wants to play out the end game
Multiplex source
The writ is to be heard by the Technology and Construction Court.
Last week, after winning the adjudication, Cleveland Bridge said it looked forward to receiving £1,950,980 from Multiplex as awarded in the adjudication. Further adjudications worth £4.5m are expected in the next few weeks.
Cleveland Bridge is claiming that Multiplex did not honour its commitments in June this year, when it was agreed that the steelwork firm would stop working at the site but would continue to supply steel.
The solicitor for Cleveland Bridge Martin Scott, a partner at Walker Morris, said: "This is a complex legal case that our clients feel they have no alternative but to pursue so as to protect the interest of their employees and shareholders."

Pendleton NC Locksmith Training
Locksmithing is a century-old trade that is performed all around the world, and even though becoming a professional locksmith requires completing an apprenticeship program, some US states require a higher degree of formal training in order to get a job – for instance, you may even need a diploma released by a college that specializes in engineering. Nowadays, you can specialize in one of the numerous fields of locksmithing, such as forensic locksmithing, industrial or automotive locksmithing.

Ottawa Production in several hard-hit Canadian manufacturing industries is expected to improve in 2010. It will, however, take until 2011 for some industries to experience an increase in profits or to emerge from the red, according to the Canadian Industrial Profile-Summer 2010, published by The Conference Board of Canada in collaboration with Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).
The Summer edition of the service provides a five-year (2010-2014) production, revenue, cost and profitability forecast for six Canadian industries:
* Aerospace Products
* Furniture Products Manufacturing
* Motor Vehicle Parts
* Paper Products Manufacturing
* Printing Services
* Wood Products Manufacturing
"Some of the manufacturing industries analyzed in this report faced declining production before the recession, and the downturn only made matters worse," said Michael Burt, Associate Director, Industrial Economic Trends. "Not every industry is at the same point in their recoveries, but improved profitability can be expected as demand grows and the cost-cutting implemented during the recession starts to help the bottom line."
Production slowed abruptly in the second half of 2009, and is expected to weaken again in 2010. As a result, industry profits are forecast to decline by 35 per cent to $269 million this year. The good news is that demand seems to be picking up, which bodes well for the industry's performance over the next four years.
Furniture Manufacturing
Even before the recession, cheaper international furniture led to declining Canadian production levels for most of the past decade. Cost reductions kept the industry in the black despite the recession, and profitability is forecast to improve modestly, but foreign competition will remain fierce.
Motor Vehicle Parts
Parts-makers are expected to lose money for the third consecutive year in 2010, but a projected loss of $41 million is much smaller than those incurred the previous two years. U.S. vehicle demand is gradually recovering and cost-cutting measures implemented during the recession are improving the bottom line to the extent that the industry is expected to be profitable in 2011.
Paper Products Manufacturing
Paper producers lost $3 billion in the past two years, but more modest losses of $139 million are expected in 2010. After reaching a nadir last summer, sales and production are trending upward, and profits of $366 million are forecast in 2011. Within the industry, the recovery will be uneven some segments of the industry are expanding while others continue to shrink in size.
Printing Services
Printers are facing technological changes primarily from the shift to online publication as well as environmental concerns, which limits the industry's long-term growth prospects. Nevertheless, industry profitability is expected to grow from last year's low of $210 million, to $240 million in 2010, and will post modest gains thereafter.
Wood Products Manufacturing
Three consecutive years of major losses for wood producers will come to an end in 2010, and profitability is forecast to reach $1 billion as early as 2012. The gradual recovery in the U.S. housing market and increased exports to China will both contribute to growth in the industry.
The Canadian Industrial Profile Service is part of The Conference Board of Canada's Industrial Economic Trends research. In all, outlooks for 23 industries are completed each year. The publications are available at www.e-library.ca. BDC clients who wish to receive a copy of the profiles free of charge can contact their BDC account manager.

When we consider marketing, we often look at the advert, the mail out, the email out, but do we consider the financial implications of a marketing project? This is the Return On Investment (ROI), i.e. a measure of the financial return or profit compared to the outlay in generating that profit.
Finance is an important part of marketing, as there has to be justification in making expenditure, or repeated expenditure. There is little point in eroding profits of the business to fund a marketing project if there is no appreciable gain to the business. However, it is not always just about finance, it can also be about presence.
For example, say you get a 10% increase in sales of your existing product range. Is this because of your marketing?
With a marketing audit, you also have to look at what works and what doesn't. For example, say you spend money advertising that you sell a new range of soft drinks. You spend $100 and only actually sell $150 of the drinks in a year. This is not going to be good marketing. BUT it looks as though you have made a profit. You've have made $50, but was that worthwhile?
Say you spend 5 hours a week doing free marketing on social media advertising the soft drink and find it doesn't work at all – you could then consider why didn't it work, what could you do better? Or it might be that it increased sales massively; you could then look at this more, e.g. you posted a free special offer such as "Buy 5 cans and get one free" and that day, you get a 100% increase in sales. Or every time you post, that day, you get 10% more customers etc., but that wears off after time, so you have to find a new way to attract customers.
Do you see what I mean? Marketing can be very expensive and time consuming, so it is not just about the financial increase but also what works effectively.
IF you do your own marketing and you have your own business, you may feel you are not having to pay for that time, but actually you are. If you spend 5 hours doing something and it doesn't work, you are losing 5 hours which could be applied more productively elsewhere. So it is good to keep a track of how you market, what works and what doesn't to ensure it is good in terms of your time and also your money.
It also needs to be appreciated that marketing activity may not always generate an immediate improvement in levels of business. Marketing activity can be embarked upon for short term gain, i.e. price or product promotions, but it can also be used to create a presence in the market place.
Reviewing of your marketing activity and the ROI should also be an ongoing and flexible process. Say you do a leaflet drop and find an increase in customers the first time, while the second time there is less of an increase , and the third time, no change in customers, you might want to leave this for a few months or year before taking this approach again. Using channels such as social media may be useful in raising the profile of your business with certain groups, as may targeting advertising in publications or on websites and so on.

Golam, Faruq and Yeap, Hui Yin and Abrar, Masitah and , Nur Afnierna and Abdul Majid, Nazia and Khalid, Norzulaani and Osman, Mohamad (2011) Analysis of aroma and yield components of aromatic rice in Malaysian tropical environment.

Low yield is a common phenomenon of aromatic rice and consequently rice breeders are trying to develop the agronomic characters to gain a better grain yield. In this study, a total of 53 rice genotypes including 12 globally popular aromatic rice cultivars and 39 advanced breeding lines were evaluated for yield and yield contributing characters in Malaysian tropical environment. Two local varieties MRQ 50 and MRQ 72 were used as check varieties. Correlation analysis revealed that the number of fertile tillers (r = 0.69), grain/panicle (r = 0.86) and fertile grain per panicle (r = 0.65) have the positive contribution to grain yield. Highest grain yield was observed in E36, followed by Khau Dau Mali, E26 and E13. E36 appeared with lowest plant height and it also produced highest number of fertile tillers. After evaluation of yield components four genotypes namely E36, Khau Dau Mali, E26 and E13 were selected as outstanding genotypes, which can be used as potential breeding materials for Malaysian tropical environment.
