|Sponsored by the Orange County Auto Theft Advisory
Committee (A.T.A.C.), a partnership between law enforcement, insurance,
and other auto related companies to reduce auto theft. A.T.A.C. is a subcommittee
of the Western States Auto Theft Investigators Association, Southern Chapter.
Wednesday, May 28, 2008 9:00 a.m. - The Irvine Marriott Hotel
|Those participating included:
ATAC Chairperson Lieutenant John Marinez introduced the Irvine Police Department Honor Guard who presented the United States and California flags on the front stage. Lieutenant Marinez then introduced CHP Border Sergeant Dennis Frias who led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Lieutenant Marinez then introduced CHP Border Division Assistant Chief Steve Beeuwsaert who gave the invocation.
Lieutenant Marinez then explained that ATAC was now a subcommittee of the Western States Auto Theft Investigators (WSATI) Association, allowing ATAC to provide donors with the benefits of a tax free organization.
Lieutenant Marinez then introduced and thanked the Orange County Auto Theft Advisory Committee members who put together the awards presentation; Mr. Dan Brogdon, Ms. Martha Jones Joseph, and Ms. Geraldine Gary of the Automobile Club of Southern California; Mr. Gustavo Cicirelli, Ms. Brandi Wade, Ms. Tiffany Jones, Sergeant Dennis Frias, and Sergeant Steve Reyes of the California Highway Patrol; Ms. Diana Rummel, the former director of the Crime Prevention Program of Southern California; Mr. Tony Ko, Toyota Motor Credit; Mr. Ted Saraf, LoJack Corporation; and WSATI representatives Mr. Gary Labb, Mr. Dave Petrelli, and Mr. Bud Hood.
Lieutenant Marinez then thanked the sponsors of this year's awards presentation, the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association, Executive Director John Sackrison; Toyota Financial Services, Mr. Anthony Ko; the National Insurance Crime Bureau, Mr. Ralph Lumpkin; and LoJack Corporation, Mr. Ted Saraf.
Lieutenant Marinez spoke about the changes that took place in this year's selection process. Lieutenant Marinez said that significant pro-active contributions by officers to reduce auto theft, combined with a higher emphasis on "rolling stolens" and significant case highlights were the elements of the criteria to be considered.
Lieutenant Marinez then introduced the Master of Ceremonies Pat Haslam. Mr. Haslam has been the voice of Orange County ATAC for the past 18 years. Mr. Haslam gave an opening address and then welcomed everyone to avail themselves of the breakfast buffet.
After the brunch, Pat Haslam then introduced Mr. Ted Saraf, Law Enforcement Liaison for LoJack Corporation, who conducted the drawing of raffle tickets. LoJack donated a LoJack tracking device to A.T.A.C. to be raffled off at the brunch in order to secure funds to keep Orange County ATAC going in the future. Mr. Saraf drew the ticket of Western States Auto Theft Investigators Webmaster Gary Labb.
Pat Haslam then requested that Irvine Police Department Chief Dave Maggard come to the podium. Chief Maggard was then presented with a plaque for his department's Honor Guard which has presented the colors during the past several years during the ATAC Award Presentations taking place in Irvine.
Pat Haslam then introduced the guest speaker, California Highway Patrol Commissioner Joseph Farrow. Commissioner Farrow spoke about the co-operative effort he saw taking place at ATAC between law enforcement and private industry, as well as the co-operative effort he sees daily between local, county, and CHP officers involving pursuits of stolen vehicles throughout the state. Commissioner Farrow thanked those in attendance for the job that they have performed.
Pat Haslam then announced the winners as Lieutenant Marinez, with Sergeant Frias assisting, handed out the numerous award plaques and recognition certificates to each of the winners.

honored for recovering the most stolen vehicles at their agencies during
2007. Combined, these officers recovered 285
vehicles in 2007, valued at over $2,479,822.00
and arrested 97 people.
The Top Five Honorees were:
Officer Kevin Flanagan of the Anaheim Police Department was honored as the Officer recovering the most stolen vehicles throughout the entire county, 41 vehicles, including 12 "rolling stolens," resulting in 17 arrests, with a recovery value of approximately $332,100.00. An example of Officer Flanagan's efforts occurred in August 2007 when he observed a stolen GMC Yukon parked in a motel parking lot. He requested assistance with surveillance and eventually arrested three people, one a parolee-at-large. The suspects were in possession of methamphetamine and were out on bail on drug related charges. Officer Flanagan was presented with a check for his designated charity, the Orange County Boys and Girls Club of Anaheim, by John Sackrison, Executive Director of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association. Anaheim Police Department Deputy Chief Craig Hunter was then called to the podium to receive the Perpetual Winner's Award that goes to the Top Officer's Department to be displayed until next year's Awards Ceremony.
Officer Gregory Stys of the Santa Ana Police Department was honored as the Officer recovering the second most stolen vehicles in the county, 66 vehicles, including 8 "rolling stolens," resulting in 9 arrests, with a recovery value of approximately $207,000.00. Officer Stys arrested a suspect 2 hours after he and two others carjacked a victim using a handgun and a shotgun. The suspect later confessed to two additional carjackings in Santa Ana. Between February and May of 2007, Officer Stys investigated a case involving the theft of 16 vehicles that were moving between Santa Ana and Inglewood. Officer Stys determined the suspects were juveniles who had recently moved from Inglewood and were stealing the vehicles to return to Inglewood. Officer Stys was presented with a check for his designated charity, the Orange County Boys and Girls Club of Santa Ana, by John Sackrison, Executive Director of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association.
Officer Shawn Randell of the Huntington Beach Police Department was honored as the Officer recovering the third most stolen vehicles throughout the county, 7 vehicles, including 4 "rolling stolens," resulting in 6 arrests, with a recovery value of $49,000.00. Officer Randell made an arrest of a suspect for vehicle theft and the investigation led to the arrest of a group of people who were responsible for compromising the credit information of a number of victims. The suspects used the stolen information to fraudulently obtain stolen property in the victim's names. Two of these suspects ultimately received prison terms. Officer Randell was presented with a check for his designated charity, the Orange County Boys and Girls Club of Huntington Beach, by John Sackrison, Executive Director of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association.
Deputy Peter Mach of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Stanton Police Services, was honored as the Officer recovering the fourth most stolenvehicles in the county, 14 vehicles, including 3 "rolling stolens," resulting in 3 arrests, with a recovery value of approximately $20,00.00. Deputy Mach was recognized in 2007 by the ATAC Committee for his efforts in vehicle theft recovery. He has been recognized by the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff's to receive the Distinguished Service Award in 2007 and has been recognized for his efforts in detecting DUI drivers by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Deputy Mach was presented with a check for his designated charity, the Boys and Girls Club of Stanton, by John Sackrison, Executive Director of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association.
Officer Kha Bao of the Costa Mesa Police Department was honored as the Officer recovering the fifth most stolen vehicles in the county, 14 vehicles, including 2 "rolling stolen," resulting in 2 arrests, with a recovery value of approximately $117,000.00. Officer Bao is currently assigned to the Field Operations Division as a Patrol Officer. Officer Bao accomplished these theft recoveries in conjunction with responding to calls for service and serving community needs. Each suspect that Officer Bao arrested had lengthy criminal records and were habitual career criminals. His dedication to serve his community and his proactive enforcement efforts have contributed to suppressing the rate of auto thefts which were occurring in the city of Costa Mesa. Officer Bao's efforts and working relationship with the Auto Theft Detective has benefited the citizens of Costa Mesa. Officer Bao was presented with a check for his designated charity, the Orange County Boys and Girls Club of Costa Mesa, by John Sackrison, Executive Director of the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association.
ATAC also recognized three additional officers for their efforts, presenting them with Honorable Mention plaques.
Laguna Beach Police Department Officer Paul Bixby heard parking enforcement officers running a VIN which returned to a reported stolen vehicle. The driver returned to the car and drove away from the area. Officer Bixby located the vehicle and went in pursuit. The driver attempted to flee on foot and was captured by Officer Bixby. The driver was later determined to be wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, felony vandalism, and gang enhancements. The suspect was a known Diablos member and was in possession of items which were possibly used in armed robberies.
Newport Beach Police Department Officer Elijah Hayward has led the Department Patrol and Traffic Divisions in all arrests and his hard work and dedication led to his selection as a member of the Narcotics Unit. Officer Hayward arrested an auto theft suspect who was on parole for the same crime committed in Newport Beach. On another occasion, Officer Hayward took a stolen report on a vehicle and later responded to a suspicious person call. Officer Hayward, who had previously viewed video tape of the vehicle theft report he had previously made, recognized the suspect from the tape and made and arrest. On another occasion, Officer Hayward observed a driver who was acting suspicious. Officer Hayward established probable cause, made contact with the driver, and determined the vehicle was stolen.
Tustin Police Department Officer Ian Wise observed a vehicle coming towards him. The driver appeared to be acting suspicious and Officer Wise ran the plate and it returned stolen. Officer Wise went in pursuit of the stolen vehicle for 45 miles before the suspect gave up. The driver had 22 convictions for theft related crimes. Found in the vehicle were burglary tools and drug paraphernalia. On another occasion, Officer Wise observed a vehicle with no license plates. Officer Wise again went in pursuit which resulted in a foot pursuit. The suspect was captured and the vehicle was found to be stolen. Inside the vehicle was stolen property and illegal drugs.

B.C. Jobs Plan: Skills Training for Job Growth in the Province
As reported on canada.com, British Columbia launched a $75 million skills training program as part of the province's economic development plan "Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan". The program aims at linking graduates to available jobs within planned and underway major projects, including mining projects.
There is a sense of urgency: projects ranging from shipbuilding to natural gas, mining to manufacturing, and transportation to commercial/residential development, all need workers now. Since 2006, employment in the mining, oil and gas extraction sectors has surged 24.7 per cent and shows no sign of slowing: $48 billion will be invested in liquefied natural gas (LNG) alone between 2013 and 2022.
"It is really the first time in British Columbia's history that our economic growth could be stifled by not a shortage of financial capital, but a shortage of human capital." Evans added that the skills training program, "takes B.C. industry training to the level required to take advantage of the economic opportunities before us."

Sex, bombs, and Chicken Little hullabaloos; Barack Hussein Obama is so dismissive about confronting the rapidly growing Jihadi movement in the Middle East, and so contemptuous of Americans, that he is bombing empty buildings to spare Jihadis' lives while giving speeches about bogus "climate disruption," then passing off a latte salute to Marines.
Acting only to get his poll numbers up and possibly save his fellow Democrats from another mid-term rout, Obama makes a deal with the Saudis to get them on board against the Islamic State with promises to keep Jihadi casualties low. Obama doesn't really care if Democrats hold the Senate or not as his only plan is to blame all of his policy failures and destruction of America on Republicans. While Jihadis are looting, raping, and murdering their way across the Middle East, Obama's big plan to stop them is to spend a year training and equipping more Moslems to fight while he bombs vacant buildings.
Meanwhile, murders are being committed through lone wolf Jihadis in America, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere that the government liberal media is keeping as quiet as possible. Obama made a big speech at the UN, not to denounce the holy warriors of Allah as the greatest danger of our time, but to extoll the virtues of the communist environmental movement. He announced his greatest effort will not be to exterminate the vermin in the Middle East, but to divest taxpayers of more money and reduce American energy further in order to advance saving the planet from American's use of fossil fuels and capitalism.
Obama's ISIS policy is a total joke
Liberals believe America's endeavors to destroy Jihadis is creating more of them, having no clue that Jihadis are Mohammad's creation and have been around for centuries. They see the recent rise of Islamic terrorist tactics as a modern reaction to American interference in Islamic countries and do not understand that Islam has been kept at bay by the technology of the West for the last four hundred years. Their recent rise is due to wealth generated from oil revenues allowing them to buy modern weapons and infiltrate Europe and America. Instead of concentrating on this actual threat of Jihadis expanding and infiltrating America to kill the innocent, Obama and his minions seek to distract the ignorant with Chicken Little cries of the earth is warming.
This scam has been so completely unmasked that global warming fraud, Al Gore, and actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, burn tons of fossil fuels to fly their jets to join their dim-witted protesters of American capitalism. These swindlers, so intent on retaining this pretext to divest taxpayers of their money, invent new names for their agenda every year with the latest being "climate disruption." Along with claims of new dangers to the planet's environment, they continue to fool some of the people all the time with their communist agenda to crush capitalism.
The Left relentlessly pushes climate hoax in all-out assault on capitalism
That environmentalism became the new home of communism after the Soviet Union was crushed by President Ronaldus Magnus is no secret. Their efforts to crush the capitalism that has made America the greatest economic power on earth can only succeed with the help of their brainless minions. Democrats have succeeded in choking the life out of America's economy to the extent that China now leads the world in economic power. The crony capitalism of Red China's socialist society is what Democrats wish to recreate by deconstructing America's Constitution, and then remaking America so that only those who raise profits for the Democrat Party can succeed in business.
John Kerry panders to Code Pink with war on women scam
Meanwhile, John Kerry panders to Code Pink with the bogus, but still effective, Republican war on women propaganda, while in Australia fifteen Jihadis were recently arrested before they could execute their plan of going on a beheading rampage in Australian cities. Americans are asleep to the fact that Jihadis have been murdering Americans on an individual basis and it is going unreported by the Democrat media. Like the Boston bombers and Ft. Hood shooter, a lone Jihadi can kill many people before he gets caught. This is not how you win a war, but it is how you destroy America's prosperity and power.
An honest Muslim cleric in danger of becoming a Christian
America is facing extinction unless we act now to stop climate disruption
A shining example of liberalism's fecal brain matter – a lesson for the young
Americans are in danger from homegrown Islamists in America
Declare war on the Islamic State

When I was a kid, summer vacation was a bit like being put in suspended animation. The wide circle of friends at school contracted to those in pedaling distance. The daily exercise of mental expansion paused, replaced by the holding pattern of summer day camp. By August, while I lamented the shortening of days, there was also a bit of excitement about the return to school. New classrooms, new books, new clothes and new adventures with old friends.
It takes thirty years for that summer break to end, for the most outcast of the six to call the others home to face a task they all thought was long finished. But the excitement they used to feel reuniting in the fall has morphed into trepidation. After all this time, and all they had endured, had those bonds between them broken forever or just stretched? Would they be strong enough if they again faced the entity they called The Woodsman?
Don't you wait for thirty years or the arrival of a vengeful spirit. Take this autumn to find someone you used to look forward to seeing in autumns past. Social media makes it easier than ever. And if you need something to read while you wait for their response, download Sacrifice as an ebook anywhere you buy ebooks. Available in paper in November.

I'm making a "sealed" system here for a kiddies school, and at the moment I'm programming in python (PyQt) and hacked the other things (including the bios) in order to obtain a "sealed", system that only does what I want it to do. No option to run commands/boot devices, etc. The function keys and combinations on keyboard were mapped off. And, file permissions were carefully chosen to allow the system to run only what I want.
The problem is, it's an atom device, which has quite poor specs, and I'm using the window manager kwin from KDE to make the graphics, along with Qt4 (PyQt4), however, I want to make the gui in C++ with possibly wxwidgets, or even java (2GB of ram) using swing or something, so I want a light and minimal window manager.
The problem is i just can't find a really small and minimalist pure window manager for that purpose. I don't want to run kwin because i needed to hack it a lot, because it was asking about errors and I don't have the time to remove the checks. Also, it's not light and I'm not going to use Qt.
I thought something like 'window maker' would help, but it comes with lots of features that I will never use, and only adds complexity to the whole thing. More stuff to "block".
I just want something that simply creates windows, nothing more. Something like kwin, but light, no need for seamless Qt, and that runs stand-alone without too much hacking.
Any recommendations?
Thank you.
PS: It's for charity. Cheap linux pcs for kiddies, mostly to learn the basics of browsers, document editing, etc. It doesn't have a name nor webpage yet, but i have lots of work to do, because i plan to "hack" the apps to make them behave properly and seamlessly. Mostly to remove menus/shortcuts.

Absolutely love these! I especially love the one of the two girls. I will have to check out Caroline's workshop, as I really struggle with editing and try to use LR as much as possible!ReplyDelete
Thanks lifeloveandlens :). Definitely check it out - I've done about 4 breakouts and one other workshop, and Caroline's CCL trumps them all by far (except maybe Flawless by Sarah W. which was game changing for me as well as far as breakouts go).ReplyDelete

lovely work! do you have a favorite lightroom preset? i'm hoping to take a workshop after christmas via CM. there's so many good ones to choose from... i'm thinking the manual use one first, as i'm not consistent yet in manual settings...ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks lillithsnapped! I don't actually have a favourite! In Caroline Jensen's class she gave us a lot of "step-by-step" presets. So ones that could JUST change the basic panel, or JUST change the tone curve, and then we layer them up and tweak them to the finished product. I think we must have walked away with at least 100 "building blocks"! I really want to take a shooting workshop in the new year as well. I have no idea what one, though... There's way too many good choices!Delete

Bubble Sort Topic 4.3.15 / Core / 2 lessons
Key points
- implementing a bubble sorting algorithm;
- tracing a bubble sorting algorithm.
- bubble sort;
- traverse;
- flag.
- Eck chapter 8.4
Related topics
Sorting the more arbitrary way:
Is this sorting into order or into categories?
- Follow through this presentation on bubble sorts.
- BubbleSort1. Examine this Java code for a single pass through an array to be sorted. Note that the only effect is to bring the highest value to the top.
- BubbleSort2 shows nesting to allow as many passes as there are elements.
- Look carefully at the results for BubbleSort2 and consider ways of making the algorithm more efficient. There is no point continuing the sort if everything is in place - the computer will not know to stop without a test for it in the code and so would spend just as long "sorting" a perfectly ordered array as it would a jumbled one. Here, a boolean variable called swapped (known as a flag) is used to keep track of whether anything was swapped on the last pass through the array. If it was not, all are in order and the sorting can terminate early. See BubbleSort3 here.
- Since the first pass bubbles the largest to the top, there is no need to check the top value on the second pass. Similarly for the second largest on the third pass, etc. This version stops the pass through the array one short each time, saving processor time. Here is BubbleSort4.
- ArrayBubbleSort shows the bubble sort technique in action on a larger array.

The report says Montana's suicide rate grew by 38 percent between 1999 and 2016.
"Our data suggests suicide is more than a mental health issue", said Deborah M. Stone, lead author of that study. "We need to make sure we're viewing this from a public health perspective and that we're making it easier for people to get resources, that we are reducing factors that contribute to suicide", Ackerman said.
The report found that some of the leading causes of suicide included: relationship issues, substance abuse, job struggles, physical health, and past or upcoming moments of crisis. DE saw the smallest increase at 5.9%, while North Dakota saw a 57.6% increase over the same period.
While the CDC did not speculate on the ties between suicide and opioids, a number of states with high rates of opioid use also ranked high in the rate of increase in suicides.
Nevada was the only state that didn't see an increase in its suicide rate during the study period, though the state has had a consistently high rate of suicide, the report found. "Anyone contemplating suicide should know that help is available, and that there is no shame in seeking care for your mental health", Dr. Altha Stewart of the American Psychiatric Association said in a statement.
Justify wins Belmont Stakes to become 13th Triple Crown victor
Justify achieved one of the sports' toughest feats 45 years to the day that Secretariat won the Belmont by a record 31 lengths. He did so with American Pharoah in 2015, ending a 37-year drought. "I think it was just a special case", he said. "I'm not.
FSU's Department of Psychology has established itself as one of the preeminent suicide-research programs in the country.
These data, derived from the National Violent Death Reporting System, showed that 54% of those who committed suicide in 2015 did not have a known mental health condition. "There are many different circumstances and factors that contribute to suicide".
"The most common method was firearm, followed by hanging or suffocation, followed by poisoning", Schuchat said.
While the murder rate has fallen dramatically over the past four decades, suicide is on the rise, and the reasons are multiple. "That sort of gives one pause that we need to focus on that age range".
But Joshua Gordon, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, said that that statistic must be viewed in context.
China's ZTE Reportedly Strikes Preliminary Deal To Lift U.S. Ban
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told CNBC this morning that the us has struck a deal to lift sanctions on the electronics giant. Separately, Qualcomm is trying to get Chinese approval for its pending $44 billion acquisition of NXP Semiconductors NV.
"People should know that suicide is preventable".
Folks at the Crisis Center in Birmingham say whenever a public figure takes their life it can certainly cause others who may have been considering it to think about it even more.
"It means that around 16 out of every 100,000 Americans will take their own life", the CDC study concluded, according to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
CT has limited state funding for suicide prevention, said Ann Irr Dagle, who founded the Brian T. Dagle Memorial Foundation in 2014 with her husband after their son, an East Lyme High School graduate, died by suicide at age 19. "As a suicide researcher, you feel urgency to answer big questions because the field is stagnant, and people are dying at increasing rates".

All of whom played live in the illegal salon, many performing material specially written for Nova Popularna. An eclectic mix including house, show tunes and prepared piano, the record reflects the amalgam of finesse that was that place.
donAteller is an ongoing collaborative project from London. The work comprises records, CDs, live performance, video, various forms of publicity and other strategies associated with the promotion and distribution of pop music. All tracks involve the re-editing and mis-matching of popular melodies and lyrics. donaAteller are, were, or have been, at various times Ed Liq, Mark Leckey, Bonnie Camplin and Enrico David.

She also performs with experimental audio-visual group RH+, whose first recordings are to be release soon.

He still works in fine art, painting and music and often
combines all of the above. Some of the recorded concerts include: Teatr Studio, â Szpachla na Fortepianâ 2004, Kielce â Preparated Pianoâ 2003, Marcin Dutka also makes music for short length feature films.

"You're not a snob after all, are you?" David put his hand on my shoulder.
I glanced up and almost dropped the book I was holding. "Um, no . . . "
"See, it's just that you never talk. We all thought that you thought you are better than us."
"Really? No. I mean . . . I've just never had much to say."
As he walked away he tossed over his shoulder, "Everyone has stuff to say."
This is a true conversation I had with a fellow senior the next to the last week of my high school career. Talk about being thrown for a loop! Not only was I suddenly aware that an undisclosed number of acquaintances thought I was a snob for four years plus, but the idea I had since junior high that there was something wrong with me had been confirmed.
I wasn't popular. I wasn't an athlete (my tennis coach would whole heartedly confirm that) or a cheerleader (let it be known that I believe cheerleaders are athletes also). I wasn't a burn-out (better known as doo-rags and weed eaters). I was just me. Quiet, a bit awkward with the small talk, but just me.
I had a small group of friends and I was content. Sure I kinda wished I'd been invited to the parties that were talked about Monday morning in hushed whispers as other kids slid into their seats just before the bell rang (Little did I know what actually went on during some of them). But on the whole, I was content. Even though I long ago convinced myself that there was something wrong with my personality. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized there isn't anything wrong with me, I'm just an introvert.
Introvert Dear explains it this way:
" . . . someone who prefers calm, minimally stimulating environments. Introverts tend to feel drained after socializing and regain their energy by spending time alone. This is largely because introverts' brains respond to dopamine differently than extroverts' brains. In other words, if you're an introvert, you were likely born that way."Being an introvert is different than being shy, though often the two are used interchangeably. Shy is more about being nervous or self-conscious in social situations. Believe it or not, extroverts can have this trait also.
The good news for me is that I finally realized that I don't need to be "fixed." My Creator intended for me to have this temperament for a specific purpose. Does that mean He won't push me out of my comfort zone? Oh, no, He definitely will. And He has, at times. He's too good of a Father to leave me completely as I am. And He's too righteous to not remind me that I cannot do most things on my own. I must lean on Him and trust Him in order to become more like Him.
I am also learning to be thankful for who God created me to be instead of being discontent because I'm not who I thought I should be. Because I'm not who others thought I should be. Because I'm not who I thought others thought I should be. Did you follow that? Ha!
Are you an introvert or an extrovert or both?

Madhesi Parties In Oli Govt!
Ritu Raj Subedi
Putting decades of transition to rest, Nepal has embarked on a federal journey with strongman KP Sharma Oli in the driving seat. Prime Minister Oli, who mustered three-fourths majority in the parliament, has shouldered the responsibility of steering the country to stability and peace. Enjoying over two-thirds support of the House is, of course, a big success of the Left Alliance government as this has emboldened the leadership to deal with unintended challenges arising from other powerful constitutional bodies that often butt heads with the elected executive. For that reason, Oli's government has been touted as the strongest one in the country's political history. Numerically, it appears to be so but it is still a coalition in nature. The CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist, the two constituents of the Left Alliance, are yet to be ideologically and emotionally unified. To fully depend on the fractious Madhesi parties for flexing the two-thirds muscles is not still a wise idea as it entails a lot of domestic and geopolitical factors.
Plausible question
There is a plausible question as to why Oli was tempted to rope the Madhes-based parties into the government despite the fact that the Left Alliance commands a comfortable majority in the parliament. By bringing the Madhes-based parties to his government, Oli wants to convey a message that the communist government is friendly and cooperative with the Madhesi constituency that the southern neighbour still sees as its 'strategic asset' to manipulate Nepal's politics at the centre. Oli and his party, UML, were vilified as anti-Madhesi in the aftermath of the promulgation of the new constitution. The regional Madhesi parties denounced the statute framed by the elected Constituent Assembly and stoked bellicose ethno-centric movement to abort it. The UML that played a decisive role in writing the statute faced the ire of Madhesi parties. It was forbidden from carrying out the peaceful activities in the Madhesi hinterland, particularly in Province 2. As a result, the party fared very badly in the provincial and federal polls in the very province.
The Madhesi parties have finally voted for Oli, who was their sworn enemy just some time ago. By securing their support, Oli has proven that the new constitution is acceptable to all. In their anti-constitution protest, the Madhesi parties had even disrupted the supplies of fuel by backing the Indian blockade in 2015. But in a dramatic turn of events, they are forced to befriend Oli, giving credence to his political legacy. This has elevated Oli into a powerful figure entrusted to implement the new constitution. This enticing success eludes his contemporaries.
Behind the move to induct the Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal (FSFN) in the government, Oli might have thought about meeting his two goals. One is to take the Madhes into confidence by making its leader Upendra Yadav as his junior partner in the government. Upendra's party emerged as the largest force in Province 2 from the two-tier polls. It has formed the government in Province 2 with the backing of Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJPN). Unlike the divided RJPN, the FSFN is a one-man show of Upendra and, therefore, he can guarantee more predictability of government than RJPN. Besides, he comes from the communist background and his chemistry works relatively better with Oli and Prachanda. Upendra just wants a face-saving over statute amendment. In response, PM Oli has said that the statute can be amended based on the necessity of the country and its justification. Another reason for including Upendra in the government is to balance Prachanda, who can make a dramatic volte-face under the inimical geopolitical pressure. Upendra's party has not joined the Oli cabinet that was expanded for the third time on Friday due to seeming disagreement over who should get the ministerial berths. Oli has kept two ministries with himself with a view to allocating them to FSFN later.
Critics also point to another reason behind Upendra's participation in the government. It is also to address the concern of the southern neighbour that wants Madhesi parties in the government. India has woken up to its failure of neighbourhood policy so it does not want to further antagonise the left government that won an overwhelming mandate from the election. It is coaxing the Oli government to prevent its further tilt towards the northern neighour. Thus, the geopolitical factor also impelled Oli to include Upendra's party in his government.
Oli wants to delete the anti-Madhesi tag by bringing the Madhesi parties on board the government. But this might come at an ideological price. Oli clinched a landslide victory on the planks of nationalism. It will be a daunting task to keep the flame of nationalism glowing, if Oli goes on to compromise with the regional forces hell-bent on amending the statute based on parochial ethnic identity. Oli must be aware of this fact. He may not hurt the sentiments of the bigger chunk of populace that handed him a thumping electoral victory. The people have pinned their hopes on the Left government that it will deliver stability and prosperity to them according to its poll promises. Sad to say, it has inherited an economy that is in shambles. It has to cough up a huge amount of budget to implement federalism that is in itself an expensive political system. The previous government had put unnecessary fiscal burden on it. To seek to increase the size of revenues and customs duties to meet soaring costs won't be a rational choice. It must focus on investment and infrastructural development to inject impetus into the sluggish economy.
Balanced foreign policy
Maintaining a balanced and independent foreign policy is another challenge for Oli. While sticking to his patriotic stance, Oli must take the two giant neighbours into confidence. Nepal can't afford to side with any neighbour owing to its sensitive geopolitical location; it should tap the development opportunities offered by both India and China. But the country must not shy away from reaping the economic benefits that come in form of investment and trade from China just because India does not like it.

Fast food can be define as any food that contributes little or no nutrient value to the diet, but instead provides excess calories and fat. Nowadays, there are millions of fast food restaurants in the world that offers their customers plenty of different meals with a special price. Fast Food can be a good way to save time, but it's not the proper way for nutrition. Research found that eating fast food meals more than TWICE a week was associate with double the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism. Also, those products cause a great in weight and may cause HEART DECEASES. Burgers, French-fries, Soft drinks are just a few examples of junk food.
Fast food refer to any poor nutrition food that is easily prepared. Fast food may include Chips, Hot pies, Pasties, Sandwiches, Burgers, Pizzas, Kebabs, Chicken and Salads. It also includes drinks, for instance, Milkshakes and Soft drinks.
Junk food is a slang word for food with limited nutritional value. Every person has their own list of food that they call junk foods. I would include foods that are high in Salt, Sugar, Fat or Calories and Low nutrient content.
Rather than talking a radical approach and banning all but the simplest foods, judge each food based on the list on ingredient and Nutrition Facts label found on packages. When reading the list of ingredients look for Sugar, fat or salt as one of the three ingredients. If any of these are listed that the high in the ingredients, you can probably consider that food to be too high in Sugar , Fat or Salt.
A look a the nutritional information on the label will list the number of calories per serving , grams of fat, Sodium, Cholesterol and sugar content. This nutritional information will make you more knowledge in selecting foods to reduce your nutritional health risk.
Calories content of 300 calories per serving or less in consider to be all right, except whole meals unless you are following a weight loss diet. Be cautious though as to how large a serving size is. If 4 ounces of Yogurt is a serving size and you eat an eight-ounces container, you have double the calories content. Sometimes, the package serving size is not how little you serve yourself.

1 | Chequered Flag – Signals the end of the race and is shown first to the winner, and then to every car to cross the line behind them.
2 | Red Flag – The race has been stopped, usually because a car is lying in a dangerous position after an accident or because conditions are too poor for racing to be safe.
3 | Yellow Flag – Indicates danger ahead and overtaking is prohibited. A single waved yellow flag means slow down, a double waved yellow warns that the driver must be prepared to stop if necessary.
4 | Blue Flag – Shown to a driver to indicate that a faster car is behind him and trying to overtake. Shown both to lapped cars and those racing. A lapped car must allow the faster car past after seeing a maximum of three blue flags or risk being penalized. A racing car is under no obligation to move over.
5 | Black Flag – Shown with a car number to indicate that the driver must call into the pits immediately, usually because he has broken the rules and will be disqualified.
6 | Red & Yellow Stripped Flag – The track is slippery. This usually warns of oil or water on the track.
7 | Green Flag – A hazard has been cleared up and the cars can proceed at racing speed.
8 | Black Flag with Orange Disc – Shown with a car number to indicate that the car has a mechanical problem and the driver must return to his pit immediately.
9 | Black & White Diagonal Halves – Shown with car number to indicate a warning for unsportsmanlike behavior. A black flag may follow if the driver takes no heed of the warning.

In his daily note, Dennis Gartman ponders yesterday's "surprise" Chinese rate hike, noting that it was a surprise only due to timing, which he says is brilliant.
We, like everyone else, were obviously very surprised by the timing of the rate increase, for although the increase itself was well telegraphed and was hardly a shock, the fact that the Chinese did it while technically still on holiday, celebrating the Lunar New Year, caught us wholly offside. In retrospect, this was and this is a brilliant move by the Chinese monetary authorities, for henceforth they've raised the element of surprise for all market participants.
Then he gets weird here, and we don't see what he's saying…
No matter what happens from this point forward we shall all say amongst ourselves, "Say, do you remember when the BOC raised the o/n lending rate by 25 bps while still on holiday?" It shall be a badge of honour in years hence to say, "I was there; I remember that," rather like we hold it as a badge of honour to say that we remember when Paul Volcker changed the Fed's focus from the o/n fed funds rate to targeting the monetary aggregates on "Black Friday" back in the late 70's, or rather like being able to say "I remember when fed funds regularly traded 21%," or being able to say, "Geez, I remember when Penn Square Bank failed and the TED spread went out a couple of hundred bps in one day." Now we can all collectively remember when the BOC tightened policy while on holiday.
