Africa & Mid-East
Coming soon
Denmark – 2nd Quarter 2015The beginning of Q1 didn't promise a lot, until March showed an astonishing record (of 476 units!) of EV sales. The Q2 have generally had strong sales since, increasing further to the end of the quarter. Tesla sales are strong, Model S make the second best month in June with 160 units. Danish taxation is under debate whether it favors luxury EVs more than other segments. In Q1, 639 PEVs were sold – and Q2, 666 PEVs. An increase of 113 % YoY. Our estimates is points on an 1,24 % PEV share in 2015.
Taxation benefits in Denmark favor BEV over PHEV and the appearance of the Mercedes C350e PHEV in the charts did not change the BEV/PHEV split too much. 95 % of all plug-in sales are pure EVs, which is highest for the European countries we are tracking. The new Mercedes C350e is the only plug-in hybrid with significant sales in Denmark. Read the full article for detailed sales, prognosis and comment on taxation in Denmark.

Jasprit Bumrah Proves Why He Is The Best Bowler In The worldJanuary 08, 2021 11:05
(Image source from: economictimes.com)
Jasprit Bumrah showed cricket viewers why he is one of the best bowlers in the world during the third India vs Australia Test Match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. After India's previously weak-performance matches, they really stepped their game up this time.
Bumrah bowled the young Cameron Green for a 21 ball duck. Post lunch he bowled Australia team captain Time Paine. His delivery was so clean, fans on Twitter went berserk.
Bumrah bowled four good length deliveries outside off stump before pitching the ball that set the wickets flying and bowling Paine.
Bumrah Bowled a total of 7 overs and gave 13 runs and picked up crucial wickets including Green and Paine.
By lunch time, Australia had 249 runs for five wickets.
The highlight for the team was Labushagne and Smith, both close friends and intelligent players of the game, making a 100- partnership.
Labuschagne scores 215 runs during this time last year when he played against New Zealand. As he reaches his his fifth Test Century, he was bowled out for Jadeja, which was a thick-edged ball, caught at the slip by Ajinkya Rahane.
The Test 4 of 4 will take place from 15th to 19th January on the Sydney cricket ground from 5:30 AM onwards.

Hurricane season is just getting underway in the Gulf Coast region.
If you missed Hurricane Preparedness Week (May 15-21, 2016), there's still time to prepare. While hurricane season started June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30, many in New Orleans and the Gulf South know it's good to be prepared year-round.
And at all times it seems connectivity should be a priority.
FEMA warns that in disasters small and large, "Phone lines can go down, cell service can be overrun with calls, texts and emails and it can be difficult for survivors as well as first responders to get in touch." They caution: "This isn't a far-fetched scenario or intellectual exercise. It's a reality we've seen happen over and over." FEMA recommends relying on satellite phones in these situations.
In some instances, a satellite phone and satellite technology can mean the difference between life and death, no matter the season. Just ask Michael Herrera, who recently became the 4,000th rescue for Globalstar, a satellite communications company relied upon globally and based in Covington, Louisiana.
Herrera, a retired Houston firefighter and motorcycle enthusiast, was off-roading alone in DeKalb County, AL, last December. He took a hard fall and sustained a broken collarbone, three broken ribs, and a partially collapsed lung. After activating Globalstar's SPOT device, a location tracking device that can send out a beacon to emergency services and verify your GPS location, Herrera was rescued in less than 40 minutes despite being alone and in a remote area. SPOT averages approximately two rescues per day and to date, has been responsible for more than 4,300 rescues around the globe.
"It's my angel on my shoulder," says Herrera, adding that no matter where he rides he feels he's only "as far as his backyard." Having been a firefighter and knowing he won't give up his hobby, Herrera recognizes the importance of having something to fall back on: "I like to have an escape plan."
Looking back on his rescue, Herrera says that satellite phones or SPOT devices are "something you hope you'll never need to use." He adds, "I'm just glad I had it on that day."
From a management perspective, it (satellite phone backup plan) is most vital in today's market.
During Hurricane Katrina, more than 20 million calls did not go through, and six out of eight police district buildings had no communications. In some locations it took months to restore service. Many rescue personnel had their service restored and got back to duty thanks to the thousands of satellite phones donated by Covington's Globalstar.
But emergencies can happen anytime and sometimes they happen when you're out of cell phone range. Satellite phones have become a trusted device for adventurers, emergency personnel, maritime workers, recreational boaters, oil and gas personnel and anyone who lives, works or plays in areas with limited or no cellular service.
In addition, satellite devices provide business owners and operators the ability to stay connected regardless of cellular service.
Glenn Hanson, VP of Laboratories for Coastal Gulf & International in New Orleans, which services the petroleum and petrochemical industry and includes offshore work, says with constant communication such a necessity in his line of work, having a backup plan to stay connected is crucial.
"From a management perspective, it (satellite phone backup plan) is most vital in today's market, with safety issues that may arise out in the Gulf of Mexico, or if there's an equipment breakdown," said Hanson, whose backup plan with CGI includes equipping the company with Globalstar satellite phones. "Now, we have the ability to communicate right away, whereas in the past we may not have had that."
"In the event of natural disasters or when we are offshore, we need to have the ability to communicate. We can now communicate within our offices during those circumstances."
Now, that's staying connected.

In today's tough economic times, it's sometimes hard to put food on the table, gas in the car, and keep the light bill paid from month to month. Then you have your little ones birthday come around and you stress over where the money is going to come from to get them a gift, much less give them the birthday party that you know they deserve. Bartzs Waukesha knows how tough the economy is and works to make sure that the party decorations that you love are affordable, durable, and terrific. Below you will find some tips on how to throw the perfect birthday party on a budget, with cake, decorations, and all.
The Birthday Party Supplies Waukesha WI professionals can tell you that professionally made cakes can be super expensive. Honestly, all you have to do is bake the cake yourself, get some cake decorations from the Birthday Party Supplies Waukesha WI professionals, and your little one will be just as happy as she would with a cake from the local bakery. After all there are tons of cake pans available out there that you can even make the cake in the shape of her favorite character.
You need to realize also that there is nothing wrong with going generic when it comes to party decorations. The Birthday Party Supplies Waukesha WI professionals can tell you that children honestly don't care what they eat off of, as long as they have fun and the presents are amazing.

Of course, you don't want to use Christmas gift bags to hold birthday gifts, but you get the picture.
Food is another huge consideration when it comes to budgeting for a birthday party. You are better off making the food yourself; it will be cheaper, and nine times out of 10 it will taste better as well.

Keen observers of culinary trends might have noticed the signs: the photos of sizzling sisig showing up in Instagram feeds; the 2012 declaration from Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern that Filipino food is "the next big thing"; the Smorgasburg stands and underground-supper-club dinners serving cuisine from the Philippines.
It seems New Yorkers are finally ready for Filipino food, which has long languished in the shadow of Thai, Indian, Chinese, and other Asian standbys. Once, the restaurants that did open here—in places where the expat community lived (Woodside), worked (Manhattan's East Side hospital corridor, a result of heavy health-care-industry recruitment), or docked (Red Hook, where the short-lived Philly Pinoy catered to crew arriving at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal)—flew mostly under the radar of non-Pinoys (i.e., Filipinos).
Granted, mainstream America might consider the cuisine an acquired taste. "Most of the things we liked about it were stinky, saucy, and sour," says Amy Besa, who, with her husband, Romy Dorotan, opened the pioneering, contemporary Filipino-centric Cendrillon in Soho in 1995. By the time the couple relocated to Ditmas Park, where they opened Purple Yam in 2009, they had company: King Phojanakong, whose Kuma Inn and Umi Nom display the chef's Thai and Filipino ancestry; those restaurants were soon joined by Maharlika, whose owners present traditional foods in stylishly hip East Village surroundings. (The community might be small, but it's tightly knit; many of these restaurateurs have jointly organized benefits and fund-raisers in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.)
It's possible that Filipino food has struggled to define itself precisely because it's inherently a fusion of culinary influences, both familiar and exotic: Chinese (pancit, or noodles; soy sauce), Spanish (pork; the tapas tradition), and native Pacific Islander (roots and tubers) among them. And in many cases, New York chefs have gone one step further, sneaking in Filipino staples alongside other Asian or even Western fare. If you have yet to acquaint yourself with the characteristically tart, sour, and fermented flavor palate, now's the time. Here, the latest wave of Filipino chefs and restaurants to bring New York their versions, interpretive or traditional, of the perpetual next "next big thing."
521 Hicks St., at Degraw St., Cobble Hill; 718-534-5498
Half-Filipino chef Joe Bayley, who has worked with Purple Yam's Dorotan, describes this restaurant as a gastropub amalgam of Filipino and Spanish cuisine with a Russian name. Dishes like garlic rice and egg with longaniza, an often sweet Spanish sausage commonly used in Pinoy cooking, reflect Bayley's heritage; in recent months, he's served lobster rolls on pan de sal, which he calls the "Wonder Bread of the Philippines."
Pig and Khao
68 Clinton St., nr. Rivington St.; 212-920-4485
The happily irreverent menu blends primarily Filipino and Thai influences, inspired by chef Leah Cohen's Southeast Asian travels and her Filipina mother. This leads to such mouthwatering juxtapositions as a crispy-pata (pig trotter) plate with pickled green mango next to Thai-style massaman-curry lamb's neck next to Chinese sausage.
Lumpia Shack Snackbar
50 Greenwich Ave., nr. Perry St.; no phone yet; opening soon
Neil Syham and Angie Roca, the couple behind Smorgasburg's Lumpia
Shack and Adobo Shack, will open a West Village shop selling various lumpia,
the savory spring rolls that express the Chinese influence on Filipino food, plus the shaved-ice dessert halo-halo and adobo baboy, pork belly with garlic rice and greens.
Papa's Kitchen
65-40 Woodside Ave., Woodside; 347-724-9586
Woodside has for decades been home to Filipino bakeries, restaurants, and groceries like Phil-Am Food Mart and continues to welcome new ventures, like a branch of fast-food chain Jollibee or this cozy newcomer. It attracts a dedicated crowd for its karaoke sing-alongs and its traditional—and affordable—plates like palabok (rice noodles with a shrimp sauce) and kaldereta, or beef stew.
369 Seventh Ave., at 11th St., Park Slope; 347-916-0031
First-generation Filipino-American chef Dale Talde has found such success with this Asian-American hit that he and his partners plan to open a Jersey City branch next year. The chef is known for concocting dishes that often buck tradition for what tastes best—and is fun. (See halo-halo topped with Cap'n Crunch cereal instead of traditional pinipig, or pounded rice.)
Pan de Sal
245 E. 21st St., at Second Ave.; 212-228-8273
This Gramercy bakery is named for the de rigueur rolls served in the Philippines at most every meal. Try them for $2.50 apiece with a variety of fillings: corned beef, chicken adobo, tuna, serrano ham, and spicy sardines. Although the owners also operate the nearby Filipino restaurant Grill 21, here the emphasis is on Western cakes and pastries, with only the subtlest Pinoy flavor.
111 First Ave., nr. 7th St. 646-392-7880
A team of restaurant-industry vets launched the business as a floating brunch pop-up in 2011; it morphed into a Dekalb Market stand and finally this brick-and-mortar East Village location. Co-owner Nicole Ponseca, who envisioned the place as "a gateway restaurant" for those new to her ancestral cuisine, spent months with her chef, Miguel Trinidad, traveling the Philippines, learning recipes from lolas, or grandmothers, that they later reinterpreted, like the restaurant's popular sizzling sisig.
Ugly Kitchen
103 First Ave., nr. 6th St.; 212-777-6677
An often raucous crowd is helped into that state by hyperboozy Filipino drinks like the Weng Weng (similar to the Long Island Iced Tea) and San Miguel (the ubiquitous beer of the Philippines); to soak all that up, the Filipino chef, Aris Tuazon (formerly of popular Pinoy spot Krystal's Cafe, which recently reopened around the corner), serves an Asian-fusion menu including such dishes as tapsilog (a combo plate of sorts, with steak, eggs, and garlic rice) and lechon kawali (deep-fried pork belly).
201 First Ave., nr. 12th St.; 212-533-4121
Maharlika's younger sister draws inspiration from the exuberantly decorated, brightly colored public buses of the Philippines; it's Mission Chinese's Filipino equivalent in terms of a fun and lively ambience. Many dishes at this gastropub are playful updates of classic Filipino foods: Longaniza sausage is served on a hot-dog bun with bagoong (fermented-fish condiment) mayonnaise.

Spooktacular Halloween Candy Cake – a great way to use up any leftover Halloween candy. Orange and black zebra cake surrounded with black licorice and topped with Reese's pieces. Use cake mix for a quick and festive Halloween treat!
Cake Decorated with Leftover Halloween Candy
YEARS ago, I made a cake decorated with Kit-Kats. It was so much fun! I decided to put a Halloween twist on that cake and use black Twizzlers and Reese's Pieces for the decorations. I think it turned out super cute spooky!
How to Make a Zebra Striped Cake
I took this cake one step further and make an orange and black zebra cake. I used a box of white cake mix for the cake, but you can make your own. To make the zebra cake, spoon approximately one tablespoon of one color of batter in the middle of each cake pan. Top the batter with one tablespoon of the alternate color of batter. Repeat this process until all batter is used. Bake according to package directions, cool, and frost.
Since I used a cake mix, I decided to make homemade chocolate buttercream. It was delicious! I tinted the buttercream black for Halloween. It looked creepy, but it tasted great.
- You can skip making the zebra cake if you prefer and just decorate the cake with the candy.
- You can use any candy on top of the cake you prefer.
- Feel free to use a can of store-bought frosting instead of making your own.
- I suggest gel food coloring. You can find it at Hobby Lobby and Michael's.
- I used orange and black food coloring. Orange and green would be fun too!
- You can make the cake a day or two in advance and refrigerate until serving.
Easy Halloween Dessert
This cake is spookylicious! It is perfect for any upcoming Halloween celebrations! I LOVE the inside of the cake. It is a fun surprise for everyone when you cut into the cake.
Pizza Skulls
Pizza Skulls – pizza pockets baked in a skull cake pan. SO easy!! Refrigerated pizza dough, pizza sauce, mozzarella, sausage,…

Spooktacular Halloween Cake
- 1 box white cake mix plus ingredients to make cake
- orange food coloring
- black food coloring
- 2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
- 3 Tbsp heavy cream
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- Black Twizzlers
- Reese's pieces
- To make zebra cake – divide cake batter in half. Tint each half of the batter with the desired color.
- Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, drop approximately 1 tablespoon of one color of batter in the middle of each cake pan. Top the batter with 1 tablespoon of the alternate color of batter. Repeat this process until all batter is used. (you do not have to wait for the batter to spread before adding the alternate color)
- Bake cake according to package directions. Cool completely.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add chocolate until just combined. Add cream, vanilla, and sugar; mix on medium until well combined. Add black food coloring if desired.
- Frost cake with chocolate buttercream. Cut Twizzler's to size – about 1/2-inch taller than cake. Press Twizzlers on edge of the cake. Top cake with Reese's pieces.

Running for 26.2 miles is not for the faint of heart. It takes consistency, dedication and determination, and a small amount of crazy, to put in the work week after week, anywhere from 12 to sometimes 20 weeks. I'm counting down the days to my 5th marathon which had me thinking about a few things…
First of all, I have a runfession to make. I don't love training for marathons. Whaaat?!!
I don't. I really like running but I don't love it all the time. Some runs are awesome, while other runs I need to really force myself to finish. It's the sense of accomplishment I get from finishing a tough (physically or mentally) training run and the pride from getting my finisher's medal after crossing the finish line that keep me going back for more.
Us marathoners know we can't just show up and fake it. We have to put in the work to have the best performance possible. Setting a new personal record and feeling good throughout the entire run is an amazing feeling that makes all the hard work worth it.
Many people turn to long distance running because it makes them a better person, a better wife, a better mom, a better friend, by allowing them to clear their mind of stress and "head noise."
It gives us mamas some "Me Time" to daydream. Some people may choose to binge watch Netflix; others, we choose to lace up our sneakers and run.
I don't do it to be "skinny." I have actually gained a few pounds training for this marathon. Sure, running helps keep me in shape, but if my goal was to just be fit I could simply do 20-minute workouts every day and be fine. Long distance running digs into other areas of my wellness I just can't get from a lifting session.
Let's discuss my training a bit.
Avoid injury and crosstrain.
My first goal is always to show up healthy to the start line of the marathon. I want to avoid injury as much as possible and it's my main goal with any clients I train as well. I build up mileage progressively and cross-train by doing strength training about 2 days a week. It's really important to not give up strength training, but to modify it so you are doing movements that are the most beneficial to running. Examples are single-leg squats and side planks. I'm such a strong believer in the philosophy that in order to be a better runner, you need to be a stronger and more mobile runner, that I have made it my duty to help runners, and any type of endurance athlete, get fitter to run better.
Run a short race to test your speed and to "practice" racing.
It doesn't have to be a half marathon; even a 5K can help you gauge how fit you are and give you a better idea of what your goal time should be. It gives you a chance to practice controlling the nerves and also you can practice some of your nutrition.
Run twice a day.
I don't mean multiple crazy longs run that you're breaking up into two. Doing 2 runs a day is an option if you only have time for 4 miles in the morning and then maybe you can do 4 more on your lunch break. I wouldn't break up a speed session, but if it's a day that calls for 8 easy miles, I believe it's fine to do this. If the long runs are also fatiguing you or you're injury prone, I would recommend breaking those up too. Perhaps you do 10 miles in the morning and the rest of the long run in the afternoon. The most important factor of the long run is time spent on your feet, so the accumulated fatigue will still present itself if you do it this way.
Work on your mental fitness.
I have completed long runs in 90+ degree weather. I have completed long runs by myself. I have done many boring runs on the treadmill. I occasionally get comments such as, "I can't believe you do that!" Well, my response is always, "I have to do what I have to do!". The reality is that by doing things that are not so exciting, you build your mental toughness and it will pay off tremendously come race day.
Follow along on Instagram to see how I make out at the Steamtown Marathon this Sunday. I missed the Boston cut-off by a couple of minutes even though I broke my qualifying time of 3:35. I'm ready for a no-long distance winter and hope to work on half marathons (funny I don't consider 13 miles long distance anymore!) until I decide to go for another 26.2 next year.
In the meantime, I'll be participating in a virtual stroller race- so check that out on Instagram too.
What is the one thing that you struggle with most when training for a race?
If you enjoyed this blog post and feel that it might help someone, I would appreciate if you shared it.

The Le Bernardin chef announced today that he's also bidding adieu to 10 Arts, the restaurant he opened at Philadelphia's Ritz-Carlton back in 2008, and where his ambitious blonde protégé and Top Chef alum Jen Carroll's career began its skyward trajectory. According to the Insider, Ripert cites the same reasons he gave for his abrupt D.C. departure for his exit from Philly: Le Bernardin, and a mysterious project related to it. [Insider; Earlier]

We with the hospitable people of Kalofer welcome you and wish you a wonderful stay in our scenic mountain village.
Legend of Kalofer
The calls of Bulgarian history and culture echo through the hills of the Balkans, from the outlaw tales of old to the inspired poems of revolution. Legend tells of the founding of Kalofer during the Turkish occupation of Bulgaria in the middle of the sixteenth century. Hidden in the hills roamed a group of outlaws led by a man named Kalifer Voivoda. The bandits, who led opposition skirmishes against their Turkish occupiers, fought their occupiers so fiercely and efficiently that the Turkish proposed a deal - stop causing havoc and you will be awarded a village of your own. Voivoda took the offer and chose the large plot of land where Kalofer stands today. The legend tells of the bandits taking young, beautiful women from the town of Sopot and settling their town: Kalofer was born.
Throughout the next centuries, the town grew into a center of wealthy merchants and for this reason was referred to as "Golden Kalofer." During this time, the town was home to well respected schools where important leaders of the Bulgarian Revolution, such as Karlovo native Vasil Levski as well as Kalofer's most famous son, poet and revolutionary hero Hristo Botev, were educated.

Vaporizing- definitely one of my preferrential ways of smoking medical marijuana.
As an alternative to smoking a joint, vaporization avoids the production of irritating toxic and carcinogenic by-products by heating the material so its active compounds boil off into a vapor. A very delicious, vapor, at that. No combustion occurs, so no smoke or taste of smoke is present. It's been said that long-term use decreases the chances of getting a "smoker's cough", and that injesting MMJ this way helps to conserve your stash- and I've found both of these things to be true.
Setting up a vaporizer for the first time can be daunting, though. What looks like a pretty simple machine can easily have you confused, wasting weed, and/or burning your fingers. So, I've put together a few pointers based on CannabisSearch Facebook submissions:
What is the best temperature to vaporize at?
This is a debatable topic, and is mostly based on personal preference. Although I definitely recommend keeping your vaporizer between 200 and 350 degrees fahrenheit, it's important to just take some time to get to know your vaporizer, the potency of the marijuana that you're vaporizing, and your preference for the density of the vapor.
I like to keep my convection "box" vaporizer at about 280 degrees fahrenheit, which is warm enough to for the CBD, CBN, & THC to vaporize without torching my herbs. Being modest with temperature also increases the number of ways that you can use the vaporized pot to make hash oil, edibles, et cetera.
How do I know when there is no more left to vaporize?
There are two primary ways to know when the vaporizer is cashed:
1. Your vaporizer turns off automatically, and it knows you're high. This is a common feature with these pieces of equipment, and oh how necessary it is! It isn't very hard to forget you're toking after a few puffs of some good OG Kush.
2. There is no more vapor pulling through your whip, or filling into whatever container you're using to injest the vapor.
How much weed do I use in my vaporizer?
A gram or less usually does the trick! Pick out your prettiest little nug and break it up well- solid, "stone like" pieces will not burn as well if you pack them into the vaporizer whole.
Can I still make use of vaporized weed?
Although I've known people who actually smoke the vaporized weed, I recommend against doing that. For one, you're already high, and two- the taste of a cashed joint is putrid. What you can do, though, is turn it into CannaButter for some edibles, dissolve it into Bubble Hash, or even make some Tincture.
Here's a step-by-step video that I made using a small box vaporizer:

The building of the second Rinascente flagship store in Rome is on Via del Tritone, at the corner with Via dei Due Macelli.
Over the last 11 years it has been regenerated, in tune with the host context, bringing out the historical and culture value of the area.
The facility even features an archaeological site in the basement. The store also incorporates a small building from the early 1900s known as the Palazzetto, a true building in a building.
The terraces on the 6th floor complete the food hall and offer fine views of Rome.
A unique department store on eight levels, for fashion, beauty, design and gourmet foods, from the most prestigious Italian and international brands.

The High Court has upheld the expelling of the 12 MDC Alliance MPs, ruling that their recall by the Thokozane Khupe-led MDC-T faction was in compliance with the judgment by the Supreme Court of March this year.
The ruling was made after MPs, Bacilia Majaya, Mucharairwa Mugidho, Annah Nyambo and Nomathemba Ndhlovu and Senators Gideon Shoko, Helen Zivira, Tapfumanei Wunganai, Meliwe Phuti, Phylis Ndlovu, Herbert Sinamapande, Keresencia Chabuka and Siphiwa Ncube challenged their expulsion.
High Court judge Justice Pisirai Kwenda made the remarks in his judgment delivered yesterday, saying it was not up to any of the persons or organisations mentioned in the Supreme Court judgment to refuse to comply with the Supreme Court order.
"As at the date of the Supreme Court judgment, it was common cause that the third respondent (MDC-T) contested the July 2018 harmonised elections under the unconstitutional leadership of Nelson Chamisa and became the main opposition party in Parliament, after garnering 88 out of 270 seats in the National Assembly and 25 out of 60 in the Senate," part of Kwenda's ruling read.
"The applicants (eight expelled) are the Members of Parliament referred to. The corrective measures ordered by the Supreme Court mean that the same party is now led by the second respondent (Khupe) as its interim president with the specific mandate to convene an extra-ordinary congress in order to elect a new president," Justice Kwenda said.
The judge said the eight were bound by the ruling even if they were not part of the proceedings in the Supreme Court ruling because they were represented by their leaders and organisations.
"They are the members of Parliament in the judgment. In any event, as I have already stated above, a constitutional remedy is made in the public interest and is binding on the citizenry at large," the judge said.

All the 12 expelled MDC Alliance members were elected into the August House for a five-year term during the July 2018 harmonised elections under the leadership of Chamisa.
They all had approached the court separately challenging the decision by the Speaker of Parliament to expel them from Parliament after they had been recalled by Khupe on the basis that they had withdrawn their membership from the MDC-T party.
"The applicants failed to adduce proof of termination of their membership of the third respondent.
"They also failed to adduce proof of the termination of the composite political cooperation agreement which constituted the non-compete coalition of seven political parties known as the MDC Alliance. The applicants were not the signatories to the MDC Alliance coalition. They had no capacity to terminate the coalition. They could also not quit the coalition in their individual capacities. They could only quit their party," Justice Kwenda said.
"It is common cause before me that they ceased to be members and representatives of the third respondent due to irreconcilable differences that emerged after the handing down of the Supreme Court judgment on March 31, 2020."
In his long judgment, the judge again said the expelled MDC Alliance members did not cite their political party as an interested party to the proceedings and as such, their application was a total failure.
The judge further said his interpretation of the law is that section 129(k)(1) of the Constitution creates a right or prerogative, at its discretion, for a political party to recall or expel a member elected into Parliament, as its member or representative, when the member concerned ceases to be its member.
Justice Kwenda further said both the MDC political formations were not placed before him and it was therefore beyond the scope of his judgment to delve into the rights which the political organisations may or may not have in terms of section 129(1)(k) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe adding the expelled members "cannot claim this right in their individual capacities".

MobArena v0.96.5
Uploaded by
UploadedMay 13, 2014
Size374.32 KB
Supported Bukkit Versions
NOTE: WORKS ON ALL 1.7.x VERSIONS!
Use this tool to convert the contents of your announcements.properties into a valid announcements.yml document. If you have made no changes to announcements.properties, you can skip this step - announcements.yml will be automatically generated for you.
Use this tool to convert the spawnpoint- and container-labels in your config-file into valid labels that Setup Mode will recognize.
- The arena scoreboards now show dead players with gray text. This should make it easier to tell who's still alive.
- Added the option of showing both the arena and the lobby region at the same time while in Setup Mode via `show r` or `show regions`.
- Arena players with mounts can no longer dismount.
- Fixed horse mounts spawning as non-adults. However, simply because tiny horses are hilarious, there is still a small chance to get a small horse.
- Fixed an issue where splash potions of harming and poison would hurt other players with PVP disabled.
- Fixed an issue where the auto-start-timer would not get stopped as intended when the last player left the lobby before the timer ran out (similar to the previous start-delay-timer issue). The issue was harmless due to proper resetting when a player would join the arena afterwards. Nevertheless, there should no longer be any console spamming.
- Fixed an issue with "special" helmets (e.g. wool blocks and skulls) and unbreakable armor. The helmets will no longer reset (e.g. red wool becoming white wool) when the player wearing them takes damage.
- Fixed a bug where typing MobArena commands was possible while in Setup Mode. Commands from other plugins are still available, though.
- Fixed a bug with pressure plates causing a lot of (harmless) spam in Setup Mode.
- Fixed an issue with arena containers not restoring properly when items are removed with Shift-clicking. The current solution is a workaround to what appears to be a bug in Bukkit or Minecraft. Replacing all arena container items is recommended to avoid "ghost" items (which will cause the bug to persist until the items are replaced).
- Fixed an issue where the start-delay-timer would not get stopped as intended when the last player left the lobby before the timer ran out. The issue was harmless due to proper resetting when a player would join the arena afterwards. Nevertheless, there should no longer be any console spamming.
- Fixed an error thrown when a player picks a non-free class but no economy plugins are found.
- Death messages are now shown only to arena players to avoid spamming uninterested parties.
- (API) Added ArenaPlayerReadyEvent. This event is called when a player readies up (including when picking a class with auto-ready set to true), but before any ready-up-logic, i.e. the player has not yet been added to the set of players who are ready (because the event is cancellable) by the time the event arrives.
- Added new per-arena setting 'start-delay-timer': This timer starts when the first player joins the lobby of an arena, and the arena will not be able to start until the timer runs out. This is useful if you want to give players a bigger time window for joining (one player can't join and rush to the iron block until other players have had a chance to join). The timer works with or without the 'auto-start-timer' - if both are used, the 'start-delay-timer' will start the 'auto-start-timer' when it runs out, so it is possible to both force start an arena and still have a large time window for joining.
- Added new per-arena setting 'show-death-messages': If false, vanilla death messages will not be displayed when players die in MobArena. Defaults to true.
- Added new per-class option 'price': Using the standard economy syntax ($<amount>), classes can now have an associated price that will be paid on arena start. Two new announcement-file entries ('lobby-class-price' and 'lobby-class-too-expensive') have been added as well.
- Added new command 'setclassprice <class> $<price>' that allows setting the price of a class from the console or in-game.
- Added new command 'pickclass <class>' (or just 'class <class>' for short) to pick a class by command while in the lobby. This could be used to allow players to select classes through e.g. command-blocks or using command-activation mechanisms from other plugins. It uses the same semantics as the class signs with the only exception that class chests are only supported if they have been linked with the 'classchest' command. A new permission node 'mobarena.use.class' has been added as well - this permission defaults to true like all the other usage permissions.
- Added missing permission node for the notready command, which should now be available to everyone by default.
- Fixed the per-arena 'protect' setting. When set to false, block events now correctly bypass MobArena's protection logic, allowing an arena to be protected solely by other means, e.g. WorldGuard.
- Fixed arena container restoration, such that they now properly restore items with lore. Arena containers now support all items supported by Bukkit (uses same approach as class chests).
- Fixed the version checker so it now correctly checks all parts of the version strings. Dev builds should no longer claim that an update is available if this is not the case.
- Fixed an issue with the checkdata command that would cause it to error out without an argument.
- Fixed an error thrown by the wave parser on waves requiring, but missing, the 'monsters' node.
- Fixed an error thrown by the wave parser on upgrade waves with an empty or missing 'upgrades' node.
- Fixed optional per-wave 'spawnpoints'-node not working correctly since the setup revamp. The value must now be a semicolon-separated list of coords that match the given spawnpoint name. The config-converter tool has also been updated (v1.1) to correctly update these nodes as well.
- Fixed a bug where bosses in recurrent boss waves would only use abilities the first time they spawned.
- Fixed an issue where decimal values were stored with system-specific formatting locale, causing some coords in the config-file to be formatted incorrectly. Bugs manifested primarily as players being teleported to wrong locations (usually at y-coordinate 5).
- Fixed an issue with boss abilities where they would affect players who had already died/left the arena. The bug was due to the targetting code not getting fired when expected. MobArena now makes sure that targets of any monster are only those in the arena.
- Fixed the block destruction issue with Obsidian Bomb. This boss ability will no longer leave holes in arenas due to half-blocks or other semi-obstructive blocks like water. MobArena will try to find a block above the current block if it is not empty, but in case there are no available air blocks within 3 blocks of the original block, the ability will fail - use this as motivation to "hide" from this ability in e.g. waterfalls.
- Arrows and other entities such as experience orbs and dropped items are now all correctly removed at arena end.
- Updated version checker to comply with the Bukkit requirements. This is a pro forma update with no functional changes.
- Fixed a (new) bug with entry-fees. MobArena no longer errors out when a monetary entry-fee is used.
- Revamped the setup process! The setup process of typing in a bunch of hard-to-remember commands has been replaced by Setup Mode, which is invoked by typing '/ma setup <arena>'. Setup Mode gives you a special set of tools that, when used, will set the regions, warps and points of the arena. The Wiki has been updated to reflect the changes.
- Revamped announcements! Announcements can now be found in the announcements.yml file, rather than announcements.properties. The switch to YAML makes it much easier to auto-generate and auto-delete missing or obsolete announcement nodes. The new announcements setup supports color codes using the &-symbol!
- Added mounts for classes! Place a haybale in the player inventory to give them a horse mount. To configure the horse variant and to add barding, use this tool to calculate the correct item stack amount.
- Added new global announcements for arena end, and when the first player joins an arena. Both announcements are optional and can be activated by setting the per-arena settings 'global-end-announce' and 'global-join-announce' to true. The announcements are customizable in the announcement.yml file using the keys arena-end-global and arena-join-global.
- Added new per-arena setting 'isolated-chat'. If true, all chat messages sent by arena players will be seen only by other arena players in the same arena. This is useful if the arena players chat a lot, and the rest of the players on the server consider it spamming. Arena players will still be able to see chat messages from other players, however.
- Added new arena warp 'exit'. The warp is optional. If the warp is set for an arena, players will be teleported to the warp when they leave the arena. This is useful for region-based join-triggering and other situations that require or benefit from a known exit location. The warp can be set using the /ma setwarp exit command, just like with the arena, lobby and spectator warps. Note that this warp does not have to be in the arena world.
- Added per-class lobby permissions. These permissions will be given to players as soon as they pick a class. This is useful if using a special kind of lobby setup where certain permissions are required to e.g. purchase customizable items. Following the exact same permissions syntax as the normal class permissions, the lobby permissions can be set using the "lobby-permissions" node.
- Added support for minor economy values in entry fees and rewards. This means it is now possible to e.g. add rewards of $0.50 or $3.14 instead of just whole numbers like $1 and $3.
- Re-added optional per-class setting 'unbreakable-weapons'. If true, any player of the given class will have any held weapon auto-repaired whenever they deal damage. Defaults to true if not present.
- Added optional per-class setting 'unbreakable-armor'. If true, any player of the given class will have their armor slot items auto-repaired whenever they are damaged. Defaults to true if not present.
- Added missing monster type: babyzombievillager/babyzombievillagers. The Wiki has been updated.
- Added new command '/ma classchest <class>'. Using this command, it is now possible to link a chest to a class directly instead of having to place the chest in a pillar under the class sign. A class can have at most one chest linked, but the chest can be located in any world. This change does not affect current class chest setups.
- Added new command '/ma showlobbyregion (<arena>)'. This command works exactly like the showregion command, but shows, as you might expect, the lobby region frame instead of the arena region frame.
- Added new command '/ma setting <arena> <setting> <value>'. This command can be used to change arena settings, instead of having to edit the config-file! Upon changing a setting, the arena will be reloaded (and force-ended).
- Added support for separate-world leaderboards. This means it is now possible to collect all leaderboards in the same world, even if arenas exist in different worlds. No additional setup is required to get this to work; simply create the leaderboards in a different world.
- Added support for odd filenames, i.e. it is now okay if you rename your MobArena.jar to something else, even though there is no justified motivation to do so. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
- Changed the way coords are stored in the config-file from integers to floating point numbers (with two decimal places) for coordinates x,y,z. This allows for higher precision with spawnpoints and warps set after this update. Coords set after this update will also include a world-"coordinate" (this is why the linked class chests, exit warps and leaderboards can be in any world).
- (API) Exposed the Commands interface. This means it is now possible to register custom commands in MobArena, or even replace pre-existing commands with new implementations! This could be useful if you want to try to implement e.g. a queue-system or a cooldown for the join command, but also if you want to extend MobArena with new commands.
- (API) Exposed the maximum and minimum player counts for Arena objects; useful for e.g. "status signs".
- (API) Added ArenaKillEvent. This event is called whenever a player kills an entity in the arena (monsters, players, or bosses). This event could be useful for kill counters or kill reward systems.
- (API) Added ArenaCompleteEvent. This event is called when an arena ends due to players reaching and finishing the final wave of an arena. The event contains a set of survivors. This could be useful for rewards systems that want to reward finishing an arena.
- (API) Added method wasLastPlayerStanding() to ArenaPlayerDeathEvent. This method returns true, if the dying player was the last living player in the arena. This could be useful for rewards systems or "survivor" ranking systems.
- Fixed all issues in the arena setup process. This means no more incorrect "must be inside region" messages, no more missing items from classes when punching signs, and no more overwriting of config-files.
- Fixed an item exploit with the spectate command.
- Fixed all item glitching issues using inventory craft slots and holding items on the cursor. Suck it, glitchers!
- Fixed some multiworld inventory issues.
- Fixed (harmless) exceptions thrown on shutdown.
- Fixed flint and steel not working in the arena region in edit mode.
- Fixed an issue with sign interaction being cancelled in the lobby.
- Fixed a bug with the expandlobbyregion command.
- Fixed a bug where lobby players and spectators could take damage.
- Fixed a bug where fireballs and explosions would set blocks on fire.
- Removed Spout features (i.e. class selection, it was broken anyway).
Make sure to check out the FAQ site before asking questions or posting bug reports.
If you have any questions not answered in the FAQ, make sure to hop on IRC. Remember that IRC is "idle chat" (sort of like Steam chat, Skype, etc.), so be patient; we don't stalk the channel 24/7.
As always, make a backup of your world(s) and your MobArena files before installing the new version, just in case.
- If running MobArena without using scoreboards (use-scoreboards: false in the config-file), a NullPointerException is thrown whenever someone dies. This bug is fixed in v0.96.6! Thanks to Chakyl for reporting this bug.
Keep the bug reports coming on IRC, please :)

I would like to give a big shout out to Dr. Peter Lykos!
I've been running into Peter at the gym for a good 15 years. First at Extreme Fitness, now Goodlife on Yonge Street in Richmond Hill, and then at LA Fitness in Vaughan. I always knew he was a really nice guy, but today he reinforced that.
I was in a rush today and forgot my gym pants. After letting out a quick expletive, Peter asked me what's up. I told him what had happened and without hesitation, he offered me his gym pants. Little did he know it was leg day 🙂
I took him up on his offer and had a great workout, all thanks to Pete!
Not a huge deal but, in my mind, it is these little acts of kindness that have a big impact on the world we live in. There is a lot of negativity in our media and our society, but there are also a lot of good people. Dr. Peter Lykos is one of them and I've heard he is a very good dentist as well.
He more than deserves the free plug so give him a quick shout if you need a terrific dentist or an extra pair of pants!

Last Friday's opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games has provoked something of a controversy. Reactions have veered between two extremes: rapturous praise and bitter denunciation. New South Wales (NSW) Premier Bob Carr, for example, told ABC radio the event was perhaps the most important artistic achievement in Australia's history—taking into account every novel, painting, poem, dance and theatre work. Along the same lines, Melbourne's Age editorial crowed that the ceremony "has done Australia... proud". It was "a triumph", a "colourful display of what Australia has been and is."
Deriding the enthusiasts, John MacDonald, head of Australian art at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, described the event in Monday's Australian as "kitsch from start to finish".
"Kitsch," he went on, "is crap with pretensions to sincerity. Kitsch takes all the emotions associated with great art, and packages them in the most compact, user-friendly fashion; editing out anything that may be disturbing or complex."
Both reactions deserve attention. Both, in their own way, point to an essential feature of Olympic opening ceremonies since 1980, when Moscow startled the world with its originality, and 1984 in Los Angeles, when the Games became a commercial project. A unique phenomenon, the ceremony is neither theatre, nor concert; sport, nor military pageant; circus nor parade, but a mixture of them all. Its specific function is to sell the host country: to provide, in the space of just a few short hours, a sample of what it can offer—to both the international and domestic consumer.
So to speak of "art" is something of a misnomer. No matter how well directed, choreographed or performed, can one justifiably describe an advertisement, albeit four hours long, as "art"?
According to director Ric Birch, the ceremony was allocated a budget of around $50 million. For the NSW premier, for whom the Games has been an advertising coup, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to push Sydney's merits to prospective clients, a lot was riding on it. Like the rest of Australia's political elite, Carr is desperate to overcome the country's image as an "old economy" and attract international investment. The message needed to be unambiguous: Australia as a savvy, energetic, "multi-cultural" country, technologically sophisticated and, above all, "reconciled" with its Aboriginal population.
The latter was especially important in light of growing unease in ruling circles about the impact of the federal government's notorious treatment of Aborigines. Not only has it exacerbated domestic tensions, produced by growing social inequality, it has begun to attract international criticism.
The ceremony delivered in spades. It saluted Aboriginal culture, the Australian landscape and the country's rural traditions. It celebrated the development of technique and technology in the 20th century, the cities and the people that built them, and the country's immigrant population. It veered self-consciously away from overt jingoistic nationalism. The obligatory Waltzing Matilda, an unofficial folk anthem that predictably opened proceedings, was delivered in a jazzed-up version, beginning with a shrill trumpet blast from trumpeter James Morrison. The ceremony's themes were "inclusiveness", "reconciliation", harmony and hope.
It more than fulfilled the expectations of politicians, business executives, commentators and the like.
At the same time, as in all the most successful advertisements, it resonated with broad layers of the population. The grimly anticipated kangaroos, koala bears, surfers and celebrities failed to materialise. Instead, the ceremony involved thousands of animated, ordinary young people and contained within it genuine artistry.
Birch, who organised the opening ceremonies in Barcelona and Atlanta, headed an impressive team that included dancer and choreographer David Atkins, as artistic director, and Morris Lyda, producer of world tours for Genesis, Phil Collins, Pink Floyd and David Bowie, as technical director. Lyda was responsible for cauldron and gas technology, rigging, props, special effects and wardrobe prototypes. There was a staff of 24 choreographers; artistic directors and designers for each of the production's several segments; a crew of 4,600 and high-tech equipment of various types drawing on 3.3 million watts of power. More than 12,500 dancers, acrobats and firebreathers participated, as well as 121 horsemen and a 2,000 strong marching band drawn from 20 different countries.
In the opening segment, arranged by acclaimed choreographer Meryl Tankard, the main protagonist, (a little blonde-haired girl) was suddenly hoisted some 30 metres into the air, swooping and diving on an unseen harness. Thus the sports ground was transformed into a three-dimensional space, with the 110,000-strong audience enveloped in a sea of blue light. Exotic sea creatures floated up to 45 metres above the ground.
Djakapurra Munyarryan, an Aboriginal songman and extraordinary performer led the Aboriginal segment, which was not the usual token showpiece put on for official functions. Choreographed by Stephen Page, it involved 1,150 Aboriginal people from clans and tribes in New South Wales and Arnhem Land in far northern Australia, as well as Torres Strait Islanders, in a moving traditional welcoming ceremony.
There was humour and youthful exuberance, colour, beauty and spectacle. Nigel Triffit's zany tap dance on steel sheets, a tribute to the working class performed by hundreds of young amateur dancers, was infectious.
The finale, the lighting of the torch, served to bring it all together. It also had to top Barcelona's flaming arrow, and Atlanta's Muhammad Ali. Aboriginal athlete and current 400-metre world champion, Cathy Freeman stepped into a pool of water holding the flame, as a thundering waterfall cascaded down the stand in front of her. Out of the water, she ignited a circle of fire, which ascended onto a giant cauldron. As the flames grew, the cauldron slowly made its way (after being embarrassingly stuck for three minutes) up the steep incline to the top of the stadium.
It was clever and delivered all the required symbolism.
If masses of ordinary people were thrilled by the event, it is not hard to see why. Millions of dollars, years of preparation, extraordinary reserves of energy and talent were marshalled, above all, to sell the image of the Olympics as a vehicle for peace, international co-operation and brotherhood. In reality, the Games have evolved into something very different.

The Shining
The Shining
The "horror" genre, or "dark fantasy" genre, or whatever you want to call it, is all too often the redheaded stepchild of literature: rarely acknowledged, and never with grace. Well, almost never. Edgar Allen Poe is acknowledged as a classic writer, but he is regarded as "safe" because he's been dead for over a 100 years and just wrote short stories. Occasionally THE LOTTERY by Shirley Jackson or SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury will be given the recognition they deserve, but for the most part everything in this genre is kept in a literary ghetto, without recognition.
THE SHINING, by Stephen King, is slowly but surely changing that perception. It is regarded in some quarters as King's best book. I am not going to go on and on about how frustrating it must be for someone of King's prolificity and stature to have people think that his best novel was written 22 years and 30-some books ago. Or rattle on about how his best book has yet to be written. Or rant about how THE DARK TOWER tetralogy or however-many-books-long-it's-gonna-be will be the cornerstone of his work, his CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, if you will. Nope.
Let us just say that this is an incredibly strong, well-constructed novel, with King using all of the wonderful little literary tools and bricks and mortar we love him for.
In THE SHINING, King introduces his readers to Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy, and their son, Danny. Almost immediately, King reveals that Jack Torrance is more than a few screws short of a hardware store. He is a high school teacher who has just been hired as the winter caretaker for The Overlook, a resort hotel in Colorado. A caretaker? Well, The Overlook is in a beautiful but isolated setting and those Colorado winters really kick butt. As a result the hotel is cut off from the rest of the world for five to six months, hence the need for a caretaker. So, the hotel management hires Torrance: a disgraced teacher and recovering alcoholic with a few elements of the sociopath bubbling around beneath the surface of his smiling face.
Now, the Torrances have big plans. Jack figures the isolation of the place will be an ideal environment for him to work on his play. Wendy, Jack's loyal and long-suffering wife, is torn between --- as King so wonderfully puts it --- her grief and loss of the past and her terror of the future. But she's strong, this one. And Danny? Well, Danny is in the eye of the storm that is their marriage. But he's got a few tricks of his own.
So the little family moves to The Overlook. And The Overlook has...a history. Especially with its winter caretakers. It has a personality, a life, all of its own. It is a beautiful pastel birthday cake with a razor blade inside. Make that a box of razor blades. Jack is ever so susceptible to the influence, the malevolent currents of the old hotel as they eddy and sway about him, drawing him in, sucking him up. Though, to his credit, he initially fights them, he ultimately willingly and joyfully embraces them, like a drunken conventioneer would a $10 hooker. Wendy knows something is wrong, but initially tries to ignore it. And Danny? Well, Danny has "The Shine." He can sense things no one else can. Well, almost no one else. But by the time Wendy and Danny get the wake up call, Jack is totally around the bend. And, by the way, it's snowing like crazy.
People who think more about these types of things than I do believe that THE SHINING will still be read, studied and debated 50 years from now. Don't wait that long to read it. Yes, it is a horror novel. But, as with most of King's novels, the true, real horror presented is not of a supernatural nature but made up of things we visit upon ourselves and each other.

When using Nils Master jigs it is easy to change hooks because of the quick clip chain it comes with. In winter when the water is cold fish are known to eat little. The small hook is like a bait that looks tempting to fish and will attract them to catch it. In warmer water time the bigger hook tempts a bigger catch. The Nils Master Hanski swims lightly and the shimmering movement instinctively attracts fish. Especially for perch and pike.
