Throughout our world Host an Exchange Student!
OUR WORLD — ASSE International Student Exchange Programs, a highly respected, non-profit, public-benefit organization, is seeking local host families for high school boys and girls from France, Germany, Italy, Thailand, China, and the former Soviet Republics. Students are anxiously awaiting word on who their host families will be for the 2019/20 academic school year. Host families provide room, board, and guidance for a teenager(s) living thousands of miles from home. Couples, single parents, and families with or without children in the home are all encouraged to apply.
The exchange students arrive from their home country to begin the 2019/20 school year. Each ASSE student is fully insured, brings his/her own personal spending money and expects to bear his/her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles. ASSE students are selected based on academics and personality and host families can choose their student from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal interests.
ASSE students are enthusiastic and are excited to experience American culture while they practice their English. They also share their own culture and language with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving everyone involved a rich cultural experience.
If you are interested in opening your home and sharing your family life with a young person from abroad, please call (800) 733-2773, go online at www.ASSEhosts.com or email as- firstname.lastname@example.com

Siemens membranes to pretreat Perth II plant
Siemens is to provide a 95 MGD (360,000 m³/d) pressurized membrane treatment system for Water Corporation's Southern Seawater desalination plant in Binningup, south of Perth, Australia.Ten Seablock membrane filtration units will be supplied, each consisting of 912 hollow-fiber membrane modules.
The Southern Seawater Joint Venture (Worley Parsons, Valoriza Agua, Tecnicas Reunidas and AJ Lucas) chose Siemens' Memcor membrane technology for its reduced system footprint, simplicity of operation, ability to treat feed without coagulant addition, lower energy cost and improved feed water quality for the downstream reverse-osmosis system when compared with conventional technology. The equipment is manufactured by Siemens in Australia, with technical engineering design and service support provided locally.
When completed, the 40-MGD (151,000 m³/d) plant will produce approximately 15% of Perth's water supply. The existing Perth Seawater Desalination Plant currently provides 17% of Perth's water supply, and when the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant is commissioned in 2011, a total of approximately 30% of Perth's water will be supplied from climate-independent sources.
Siemens says that Seablock systems are typically 30% smaller in footprint than other membrane systems. With a verifiable barrier rated at 0.04 microns, the membranes ensure superior SDI values compared with conventional technologies without the need for feed coagulation or downstream cartridge filters.

10 Pictures Of Maate Mantramu star Ali Reza That Will Make You Want To Hit The Gym
Wasting yet another costly gym membership? Check out these posts by Ali Reza, who plays Vamsi in Maate Mantramu, for some motivation.
Don't we all love to just curl up on the couch and munch on unhealthy snacks? While we all are well aware of the importance of health and fitness, few of us actually get up and hit the gym. If you are among those who suffer from a lack of motivation to sweat it out, how about we let you run through the Instagram posts of actor Ali Reza from the popular Telugu show Maate Mantramu for some inspiration?
The actor, as you can see, has a physique one can only dream of. He looks ravishing in all that he wears, from beach shorts to Pathani suits. Ali, who we see as Vamsi on the show Maate Mantramu, has a huge fanbase and the actor keeps his fans motivated and entertained through his fitness posts on Instagram. You might want to pack your gym bag as these pictures and videos will surely make you run to the nearest gym.
Morning flex and hungry muscle? Unlike Ali Reza, the only thing we know in the morning is our empty stomachs.
Okay! Maybe it is time to 'be the change we want to see'.

Sweating them all out. #gym #workout #cardio #hardwork #motivation #gettingfit #workoutmotivation #eatclean #eatcleantraindirty #actorslife #abstract #staystrong #randomclick #gymrat #kickstarter #xtremotivation #behindthecamera #crossfit #crosstraining #loveforcardio #ripped #gettingripped
Gymming is a difficult and sweaty job. But looking at Ali Reza we're sure it will be worth it.
Like his Instagram videos weren't enough, Ali is using captions that are making it harder for us to slack. In another post, he wrote, "Sticks and Stones may break my bones but SQUATS will make me BADASS." We second that.
If you're still wondering what's the mantra to be a regular at the gym, Ali has broken it down for you. Fall seven times, get up the eighth time.
Oh hey! That sounds good. Let's get through the workout just to feel good about finishing it. Wow! Ali just made gymming sound better. What do you think?
After this, you might want to start by extending your gym membership.
The struggle is too real! But you gotta keep going.
When Ali asks, "what's everyone training today?", you don't want to say you aren't training. So get back up! Let's hit the gym.
Or… you could just watch his journey from Pasupu Kumkuma to Maate Mantramu on ZEE5.

City of Côte Saint-Luc, Quebec
Executive Summary
- PDF Version (434.07 KB)
- HTML Version
"With the Smart Cities project, we will be able to keep patients at home, keep them in a healthy, secure environment and keep them out of the hospital if they don't need to be here."
– Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg, President and CEO, Integrated Health and Social Services, University Network for West-Central Montreal
"We can start to do something to makes everybody's lives better today."
– Walter, Pilot Project Participant
"The future is technology. I would like to see that: I'm counting the days."
– Herbert, Pilot Project
Challenge Statement
In the face of a rapidly aging population, the City of Côte Saint-Luc will implement a connected framework, leveraging smart devices and related technologies that will empower seniors to:
- live more safely and independently in their homes;
- be better connected to their communities and city services;
- be more socially engaged,
Improving the overall well-being and quality of life for older adults and reducing stress on families and caregivers, the healthcare system, and long-term care facilities.Footnote 1
Spaces in nursing homes and senior residences are limited and these accommodations often cost more than seniors can afford. Many seniors prefer to continue living in their own homes and apartments. This puts them at risk, especially if they have health concerns, live alone, or have a limited support network.
More than 25% of all seniors in Canada live alone where there is often no one to watch over them to intervene when a problem arises. Our city offers many senior programs, but we feel it crucial to find technological ways to connect with isolated seniors.
We seek to implement a comprehensive yet cost effective solution that will provide peace of mind, security, and support for those who need it. It must be easy to use and affordable.
Our solution will help seniors who live alone by installing home monitoring sensors, GPS tracking, fall sensors and environmental sensors. It will use AI techniques to identify problems and share information gleaned with community, city and health services.
It will allow us to know if the person living alone is okay, or not okay, and will route "situation analysis" reports to appropriate service organizations so that they can deliver timely intervention.

The Jury's Perspective
Read the transcript
My name is Brent Bellamy. I'm an architect and an advocate for city-building from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The opportunity to be part of the "Smart Cities Challenge" was really inspiring to me, because I wanted to be, I wanted to see how Canadians dream and I wanted to know, the opportunity to be able to see how, what people hope for their communities was something that really attracted me and it was a great opportunity to see how we, what we want Canada to be and our communities and our cities in particular, in the future.
The jury was inspired by the proposal of Côte-Saint-Luc, because it addressed an issue that all Canadians face, across the country, from coast to coast to coast, the hope is that we all get old and that we are all seniors at some point, but all of us are also, we know seniors, they are part of our family and to address aging is something that will be transformative for everybody in the country. If we are able to solve the issue of living in place and allowing seniors to live independently, more freely in their own homes for longer in their lives I think it adds, it will improve the quality of life for seniors and it will help to take some of the burden off of our stressed healthcare system in the country. So we were really inspired by the idea of prolonging the quality of life for seniors and other people with needs in their own home, and so we were really inspired by that and I think hopefully it will be something that can transform the lives of many Canadians as we age.

Both Cherry Casino and SuperLenny Casino has launched campaigns on the new Lucky Leprechaun slot and we know that these promos are pretty popular. The two campaigns are similar since the idea is that you get rewards for completing achievements in the game, but there are some differences when it comes to the number of achievements and the reward for each one. In short, SuperLenny's campaign is more profitable in general but at the same time it is easier to pick up rewards at Cherry Casino.

SuperLenny Casino
– take your pick!
We hope that you find something tasty among the promotions above. Remember to collect your free spins at Guts if you made a qualifying deposit yesterday.

By Rev. Wilfred Leeroy Kabs-Kanu
Journalism is one of the most noble of professions. It is so noble that it requires noble men and women to practice it . Journalists are the focal point of society. The monumental task of regeneration and cleaning up of society rests in their hands. And given the perversity of today's society, it is not an enviable job . But the work has to be done and only men and women of probity, of unquestioned moral character, honor and patriotism can truly be journalists in any society.Men and women who waver with truth because they have either bound themselves to the establishment through gifts or established ties with the rich and powerful and the governors of society cannot be effective pursuers of the ideals of independent and patriotic journalism.
Therein lies the respect that both journalists enjoy at the moment. Whatever their detractors say about them, they are among the breed of Sierra Leone's journalists that deserve econiums for their steadfast devotion to writing it as it is, regardless of whose ox is gored. When one considers how the profession has been invaded by the hawkers and money-changers Christ drove out of the Temple , the opportunists and bootlickers with their own personal agendas and the infirm of moral worth looking for cheap popularity and acceptance, you appreciate that Sierra Leone journalism is still blessed by the presence of these two.
What happened between the two leading journalists should not be allowed to fester , because this will bring bad blood to the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists ( SLAJ) ,an organization that has found its feet at last , after all the problems of its formative years. Both journalists and their supporters should note that as is said in our local parlance : Teeth and tongue do clash. The only relationship where clashes do not occur at all, for all times, is one where one or more people are zombies. Once man has the freedom to articulate his views or take an independent stand, conflicts will arise once in a while. There is no human society where controversy does not arise once in a while. The important thing, though, is the manner that conflicts are handled when they arise. God himself realised that and that is probably why his word enjoins : "Be ye angry but let not the sun go down on your anger " (Ephesians 4:26)
From all that has been written by other journalists, it is a fact that Neville and David Tam-Bayo chose the wrong forum to address the question of the quest by President Kabbah to grant honors on the SLAJ President. I think they should have appraoched the SLAJ President in close , personal counsel or within the close council of selected, trusted and respected association members. The two gentlemen do not seem , to me, to be pursuing hidden agendas. It is my considered opinion too that journalists should be cautious about the way they receive national honors from the establishment. While it is true that Korthor I.B. has performed his duties of a citizen and a journalist admirably, caution should be exercised by him and those who share his ideals in accepting gifts and honors at this time from the government.
President Kabbah too may not have bad intentions for seeking to honor journalists at this time. He may have good intentions for grant honors on Korthor I.B a fine gentleman and a hardworking icon of Sierra Leone journalism but it is just a fact that in certain positions, there are ethics that must be followed and we must be careful how we receive certain gifts and honors. When not given or received with the right motives, gifts and honors have the potential to pervert a noble profession, still the voices of patriots and undermine the cause of a profession .
Journalists are like preachers of the gospel. Their very essence and worth depend on their capacity and moral will to continue to proclaim the truth. Show me a preacher who loves to receive honors , praise and gifts from his society and I will show you a Man of God whose ability and moral will to proclaim the truth has been seriously impaired. Gifts have the ability to bind their receivers . The Word of God in Deuteronomy 16:19 is specific about this . " Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just." .Possibly what Neville and Bayo fear is that if Kargbo receives Kabbah's honors, he will become blind to the mistakes of the SLPP government or change his rhetoric and passion on the Yansaneh case. A preacher who receives gifts from fornicators and adulterers in the church will, for instance, deny himself the levity to preach against these sins in future for fear of offending those he had received gifts from in the temple.
However , that does not mean that we cannot accept gifts. It all depends on the giver and his motives for giving them. If there is any iota of belief that a gift would bind and it would hinder one's ability to speak the truth , it should not be accepted. In this case however, it looks like this is a national honor–not a gift, per se- that President Kabbah desires to bestow on a worthy journalist to demonstrate the nation's appreciation of the travails and national endeavours of journalists in Sierra Leone. The honors are meant for I.B. not SLAJ , if I got my facts right. When President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia sent $500 to certain media houses for Christmas, the gifts were rejected because their motives were unclear and they were not meant for particular individuals. In this case, the motives for the honors are clear .Kabbah may be saying: "I.B. Kargbo has done much to promote good journalism in Sierra Leone and it is time to recognize him nationally." I don't think such honors would stop a journalist from executing his duties impartially. What is more, the honor is not from Kabbah, per se. It is from the nation because the President grants these honors on behalf of the nation.
With the level of democracy being attained in Sierra Leone, it is not right to think that Kabbah is providing these honors to get something in return. Isn't Kabbah on his way out ? Also, I.B is the head of the country's journalists association, but he does not have control over how newspapers operate and what they write. Nor does I.B. alone hold all the aces in deciding the battles that SLAJ would love to fight. SLAJ can still fight the government on the Yansaneh issue.
Kargbo and Neville cannot afford to have a hostile working relationship. They must let reason prevail and harmonize this problem now. As long as we live on this earth, the teeth and the tongue would clash but the important thing is not whether conflicts will arise but how we handle them when they come.

Linking e-mails and source code artifacts

SubjectD.2.7 [Distribution, Maintenance, and Enhancement]: Restructuring, reverse engineering, and reengineering
E-mails concerning the development issues of a system constitute an important source of information about high-level design decisions, low-level implementation concerns, and the social structure of developers. Establishing links between e-mails and the software artifacts they discuss is a non-trivial problem, due to the inherently informal nature of human communication. Different approaches can be brought into play to tackle this trace-ability issue, but the question of how they can be evaluated remains unaddressed, as there is no recognized benchmark against which they can be compared. In this article we present such a benchmark, which we created through the manual inspection of a statistically significant number of e-mails pertaining to six unrelated software systems. We then use our benchmark to measure the effectiveness of a number of approaches, ranging from lightweight approaches based on regular expressions to full-fledged information retrieval approaches.
