Christine reveals all about her baby plans...
TV Presenter Christine Bleakley has been happily married to footballer hubby Frank Lampard since 2015 and now she is opening up about the couple's future baby plans.
The 38-year-old presenter previously revealed to the Loose Women ladies that she would consider having IVF if she couldn't conceive naturally.
And now it looks like she may have reconsidered.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday's, You Magazine, the presenter revealed that, 'everyone seems to be fascinated by my body clock.'
She continued: 'I am always being asked when I am going to have a baby. As far as I am concerned, my attitude is that I will wait and see what happens.'
Christine also said that having children with Frank 'wasn't on the agenda', she revealed: 'I'm not one of those women who was thinking about babies at the age of 18'.
The former The One Show presenter opened up about why she wouldn't be open to having IVF, revealing she fears that it could 'jeopardise their relationship.'
'I know friends who have torn themselves apart and jeopardised their relationship because going through IVF was so traumatic and I don't know if I could do that to myself or Frank.'
Christine is currently step-mum to Frank's two daughters Luna, 11 and Isla, ten from his previous relationship with Elen Rivas, and it seems as though these two girls could be more than enough for her.
'There are some things you cannot control and life is about being happy with what you have. I'm not pushing myself. I'm not getting stressed or unhappy. I'm a believer in what will be will be.'
And it looks like this happy couple are doing just fine.
Christine recently shared an adorable pic for Frank's birthday branding him 'the most gorgeous husband a girl could wish for.' Awww!

Leader story
Going the Distance
I'm often asked why we do so many journeys. I then think about you and your 5000+ colleagues. Why do you all want to work with Worldpay? Why do we attract and retain brilliant talent?Then I think of hundreds of thousands of our customers and how important we find it to get things right for them. Why do they keep on doing business with us?
Your people can do much more than they think they can
A simple question that some need more than a lifetime to answer. People naturally want to learn, improve, expand their capabilities and apply their full range of talents.
Meanwhile organizations strive to develop their personnel so they can better cope with changing circumstances and future challenges.
All these requirements can be met through talent development.
You can't just talk a strategy into results
There it is; your new strategy. You, your team and a number of consultants have carried out the analysis, brainstormed, agreed on the direction, defined the objectives, set the targets, brought everything together into a cohesive story and communicated it to the organization. Time and money spent are significant
Unfortunately, little seems to be happening...
Kick-start your business turn-around
When your company's experiencing a downturn, it can seem like the worst possible time to implement necessary transformation.
Morale is low. Employees are more concerned with their immediate future than embracing a new direction. Expenditure comes under greater scrutiny and budgets are squeezed.
Here's the good news; it's actually an ideal moment.

| 13.8°C Belfast
Matt Walker is a man on a mission - a football-related mission.
And the latest step in that quest will today see him reach Belfast.
His journey began around six weeks ago, and before the season reaches a conclusion next May, the plan is that he will have watched a match in all 55 nations affiliated to Uefa.
To date his sporting odyssey has seen him visit 12 counties.
At 3pm today he will be at The Oval to watch Glentoran take on Carrick Rangers in the Irish League.
Last night he was in Co Wicklow to watch Bray Wanderers play Drogheda United.
What, though, inspired a 40-year-old statistician at the Department of Justice in London to take a year off work and travel Europe on such a quest?
"The idea came about when I read a book called Stamping Grounds by Charlie Connelly the Christmas before last," said Matt.
"It's about Liechtenstein's bid to reach the 2002 World Cup finals and I wondered whether it was feasible to visit all 55 Uefa nations in a season.
"I am a statistician, so I got the 2015/2016 fixtures and put them in spreadsheet and figured that, yes, it was just about possible."
So far Matt has been to Georgia, the Aland Islands - a Swedish-speaking region of Finland where he saw IFK Mariehamn attempt to defend their Finnish title - Italy, Turkey, Lativa, Norway, Sweden and Russia among others.
"It might be a cliche, but the best part of it so far has been the fans," added Matt. "It is great how they have all taken to this random English person turning up at their games and taking me in and letting me take their photographs and sing with them.
"Obviously, in places like Russia and Estonia the language barrier is tough, but generally it has been a great insight into football and football supporters."
Matt admitted that his knowledge of club football in Ireland was low.
So, what standard was he expecting to see at both Bray Wanderers and Glentoran?
"I was aware of Dundalk last year when they made the group stages of the Europa League and I usually pay attention when Irish clubs play in Europe," Matt told the Belfast Telegraph.
"I am a Fulham fan so my knowledge of Irish players comes largely from English football because there are so many there.
"Especially when Lawrie McMenemy was manager at Fulham and we had many Irish players on the club's books.
"I suppose I am expecting an old-style British-type of encounter in the games I am here to watch.
"I think the build-up play will be quite slow and the ball to be played directly.
"I know that Bray Wanderers have had their troubles financially this year and that Glentoran have got off to a good start with two wins in a row."
As well as being a football fanatic, Matt is an accomplished photographer and has been capturing images not only of the fans and stadiums, but also of the places he's visited.
When his saga eventually ends he plans to turn his experiences into a book.
"The photographic side is easy for me, but writing a book will definitely be a challenge," he explained.
"However, I have already spoken to some publishing companies so I am hopeful of getting a deal."

"You suggested that the president sometimes communicates his wishes indirectly," Amash said, adding: "Can you explain how he does this?"
Cohen proceeded to explain that Trump rarely issues direct orders. So when Cohen lied to Congress, for instance, he was simply toeing the implied line Trump had set. It was hardly a game-changing moment in the hearing, but it was a clear and arresting departure. A Republican congressman seemed genuinely concerned about the accusations being made against a Republican president, and he was trying to further everyone's understanding of them.
We now know that Amash is much more than concerned; he's on the impeachment train. Amash this weekend became the first congressional Republican to call for Trump's impeachment, citing the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
That decision is significant enough, but what would be more significant is if Amash did what he has been subtly threatening to do: run for president under the Libertarian Party banner.
The libertarian-leaning tea party congressman said in January that the idea was "more on my radar now because everybody keeps asking about it." He told the Lions of Liberty podcast, "I just think it's important that we offer some alternative."
And Amash's motivations would go further than just Trump. He has decried the "two-party duopoly" in American politics - a pregnant statement from a man who ran for and serves in office as a Republican - and he has criticized his own tea-party wing of the party for selling out its principles.
"It turns out a lot of them were not in favor of limiting the size of government, they were just opposed to the president at the time," said Amash, who helped found the tea party-aligned House Freedom Caucus. "The tea party is largely gone. It was replaced with nationalism and protectionism and the general philosophy of the party now under Trump."
Amash has also departed from his party on some big issues, including Trump's border wall national emergency, his travel ban and even Trump's nomination of Brett M. Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.
It's highly unlikely, of course, that Amash would be able to win the presidency; the highest share the Libertarian Party has ever received in a presidential election is the 3 percent that Gary Johnson got in 2016. But the party that year had ballot access in all 50 states.
Assuming it gets that again, Amash would have a real chance to expand upon Johnson's vote share. And whatever you thought of Johnson's policies, he was not that compelling a candidate; Amash, by contrast, is widely regarded as a smart and principled lawmaker. It's not difficult to see him doing better than Johnson. As with Howard Schultz, the question would be whether Amash would get many votes and whom they might otherwise have gone to - Trump or his Democratic challenger. But Amash is a slightly different case. You'll note that his state was one of the surprise states that Trump carried by less than 1 percentage point on the way to his 2016 victory.
It's also a state that has not shared in the broader country's economic gains. A January poll showed Trump with a 37.5 percent approval rating and trailing several Democrats in the state by as much as double digits. Trump was also disapproved by 17 percent of Republicans - about double where that rate has been in national polling.
There is evidence that home states tend to be better for third-party candidates. New Mexico, where Johnson served as a Republican governor, gave him 9 percent in 2016, while Utah gave Evan McMullin 21 percent. Texas was one of Ross Perot's better states when he ran in 1992 and 1996, as was Minnesota when Sen. Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn.) waged a quixotic 1976 independent bid. By contrast, 1980 independent candidate John Anderson, who like Amash served as a Republican congressman, did only slightly better in his home state of Illinois as he did nationwide.
Even if Amash didn't take much of the vote nationwide, if he overperformed in his home state, he could be depriving Trump of its 16 electoral votes, which would be a significant strike against Trump winning reelection. And it's not difficult to see Amash's more tea-party-oriented politics appealing to the limited number of disaffected Republicans in other states as well. Trump has pretty unified support in today's GOP, but there are also signs that it's somewhat soft.
And given that as much as 56 percent of the country says they won't vote for Trump, Trump cannot afford to have many would-be Republican voters peeled off by a third-party candidate.
Trump this weekend took to Twitter to call Amash a "loser" - perhaps giving him a preview of what life would be like if he entered the presidential campaign. Amash has to know he would be in for some hard times if he ran, given that Republicans would instantly view him as a potential spoiler. And his comments thus far do not suggest someone who is strongly leaning toward running.
But he's also the kind of politician who seems willing to put himself on the line to make a point about principles. And 2020 is shaping up as a pretty good chance to make that point.

Wine cellar is sopose to be 4 victories for every 2 potions. If you only have one potion at end of game its worth 0 victory points. So that means they would have to have 4 potions in order for it to be worth more than a province.
And yet Im trying to make mortal and pestle a theme. It takes time to mash the ingredients. And I might make it gain it to your hand. Maybe that will make it worth the wait.
Gaining a copper get out of jail free card.
Plus if you want to make it an easier guess keep your coppers, youll guess right almost every time.
Black Market also gives you a choice of cards as well so you're not sad if the top one wasn't what you wanted.
Village idiot is a weaker version of swamp hag. Cause a copper is always better than a curse.
Quote from: ClouduHieh on October 29, 2018, 01:25:46 am Village idiot is a weaker version of swamp hag. Cause a copper is always better than a curse.I thought a bit about it and I also think, that it is comparable to swamp hag, but I would not say that it is necessarily weaker. Village idiot is non-terminal and therefore simpler to play in multiples and you can get it sooner than swamp hag. I would not say that copper is always better than curses, at least in the long run. Curses run out eventually, but there are 46 coppers. What I would be concerned about, are situations which completely wreck the next turn of your opponent. If you have played 4 village idiots (and you decide not to get the coppers altogether, because you already have 20) then all cards cost at least as much as a card like city quarter, which is a pretty strong card. Playing 4 witches and 4 swamp hags on the other hand is more difficult, because these cards are terminal. On top of that, their effects eventually wear off. So throne room issues aside, the card may create situations where your opponent's deck is either full of coppers or they cannot buy a whole lot. I guess removing "+1 Action" would solve this and the price might still be reasonable.
Yes however +1 Action must also stay its part of my theme for the card.
Also I dont think its a bad idea to have tons extra coppers. And like I said if you want to avoid the coppers buy a potion. Or nothing.
And you may think swamp hag is harder to buy. But not really. Especially if you get to buy it on the first turn. Then the turn after you play it you can easily buy another one.
If I wrote it that way and trashed an estate would it still sound viable to turn it into a mad scientist. Because thats why I wrote it that way. Or if I worded it that way would it sound viable to trash a university for a duchy. Because thats why I worded it the way I have it. So you could trash one or the other and still get one or the other.
A new card idea for alchemy sorta like smugglers but always give a benefit and also interactive and may even be beneficial to another player.Love potion
Quote from: ClouduHieh on November 26, 2018, 09:23:37 pmA new card idea for alchemy sorta like smugglers but always give a benefit and also interactive and may even be beneficial to another player.Love potionThe price restriction on Love Potion seems somewhat unnecessary, unless the main intent was to not allow it to be used on Provinces. 99% of games will not have any cards other than Province that don't fit within "up to ".If you use this and it misses (which will be somewhat often), then it was nothing but a terminal Silver. If you use it and it does hit, it still is just slightly better than "+1 card, +". I think this card would be weak even if it cost instead of . Also, in multiplayer games, it's quite political.
I don't agree that it's quite political, because you can't use it to help anyone but the player to your left win.
Reveal a card from your hand and choose another player. They may reveal a hand without a copy of the card you revealed in it. If they don't, gain a copy of the card.
Heres a brand new idea I had for alchemy. Since theres only 3 official cards that are gathering I thought Id add one to alchemy.
I have redone magnifying glass its also posted in the first post along with most of the other cards for alchemy Ive come up with.
When you gain this, put it and a Potion you have in play onto your deck.
But obviously he wants us to come up with our own alchemy cards because half the box is empty. Thats why Ive got so many ways to use potions, or to make it easier to gain higher costing potion cards or to give certain actions that act also as a potion. Hopefully if you played a random game with just alchemy you would get at least one of these new cards that make it easier to get potion Action cards.
They wanted smaller expansions, then why did they bother combining guilds and cornucopia then? It goes against what they wanted. And they never bothered to make another mini expansion to combine it later with alchemy did they now. Since they obviously changed their minds on smaller expansions they should make alchemy bigger officially. Add more cards to it. Make it so it can be played by itself and then of course a make a few more cards that dont have potion in their cost. Making it a well rounded expansion on its own. After all they have made many changes to other expansions. Replacing cards in the base game and intrigue. Changing guilds take a coin to +1 Coffers. Adding bane to cornucopia. They need to make changes to alchemy too. And while their at it prosperity needs a few 2$ costing cards. Cause as is the 3$ costing cards arent that great either. Im just saying its unfair to alchemy fans. To make changes to all the other expansions but to leave alchemy all alone on its own.
Thats why they can just do an update pack they did it with the first 2. They were like 10$. Besides for those of us who have guilds already if we want Coffers for guilds we would have to spend a lot more than 10$. That change did not come with an update pack for guilds did it. Guilds isnt the best expansion either yet they did make changes and did re print the box. It would cost the same amount if they created new alchemy cards and new alchemy box. It might be even cheaper because they still put cornucopia and guilds together. They would of had to reprint cornucopia too.And with alchemy all they would have to do is create the new cards new insert and put them into an update pack they would not have to create a whole new box, theres plenty of space for 7 or 8 cards. They just dont want to because its not popular. Which is why Im creating my own to add. Because they have given up on it. They could of kept guilds the same. After empires came out they kept prosperity the same, I mean isnt it weird playing with bishop and farmers market in the same game. Yet they changed it.
Oh I know its unlikely, thats one reason why Im making my own.
I dont think there any current action cards you can buy that cost more than province.
Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way
Hmm that is an interesting idea. [...]Also I would make it cost 7 and a potion. But make it 8 vp instead of 6 vp. Cause I feel it should give you more Victory points than a province, because it would be harder to get than a province. [...]

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has showed his leadership qualities when discussing how the team can do more for manager Jose Mourinho.
While the Portuguese tactician has come in for plenty of criticism this season, De Gea is having none of it and has told his team-mates they have to improve to reach his high standards.
MORE: Manchester United use Alexis Sanchez to taunt Arsenal ahead of Premier League clash
The Spain international has been one of United's most important players for the last few years and is now an increasingly senior member of this group of players.
His words will no doubt please Mourinho as he looks to turn this under-achieving side into battlers who can finally deliver a major trophy after a difficult time at Old Trafford since the 2013 retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
'We've got a great manager,' De Gea told United's official website. 'He's very experienced, he's won everything there is to win in the game. What he is really good at is transmitting his winning mentality to the group.
'However, at the end of the day, it's down to ourselves – the players on the field. It is us who make the saves, create the chances and score the goals. So, as a group, we've got to get that level of consistency and quality throughout the season.'
Mourinho has been critical of his players at times this season but it's clear his message is getting across to De Gea, and that the 27-year-old is fully on board with what the boss is trying to do.

text: strop 129 Report post Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Came across this article regarding a $90 Million waterpark development on the Sunshine Coast, which boasts one of the World's largest wave pools... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-28/sunshine-coast-council-considers-90m-water-park/6051450?section=qld Sunshine Coast council considers $90m Glenview water park proposal By Bruce Atkinson Posted about 5 hours agoWed 28 Jan 2015, 11:47am MAP: Caloundra 4551 The Sunshine Coast Regional Council will tomorrow consider an application to build one of the world's largest surf pools at a water park and resort on Steve Irwin Way at Glenview. The developer wants council to give preliminary approval for a material change of use at the site. The $90 million proposal includes plans for a large surf pool, smaller pools and lagoons, waterslides and other play structures, while the resort includes a hotel and cabins with a maximum of 247 rooms. A council report said detailed plans of the development had not been provided with the application. The site is on flood-prone land but the report has found as long as the development does not increase flooding for nearby properties, it should be approved with conditions due to an overriding community need for new tourism infrastructure. If it is approved, the developer would be required to pay infrastructure charges estimated to be $2.6 million. Council to vote on "mammoth sized" water park for Coast The Sunshine Coast Council will vote next week on the development application for the mammoth theme park proposed for Steve Irwin Way.Warren Lynam THE SUNSHINE Coast is one giant step closer to gaining a $90 million water park featuring the world's largest surf pool. The Sunshine Coast Council will vote next week on the development application for the mammoth theme park proposed for Steve Irwin Way. Even though the project falls outside of the planning scheme because it is in a rural zone, council officers are recommending approval with conditions. Sunshine Park (Qld) Pty Ltd's application, which was revealed in the Daily in July last year, gained a groundswell of "yes votes" from the community and online bloggers. The water park would be comprised of a large surf pool, various smaller pools, lagoons, waterslides and other play structures. IN FAVOUR: Jason O'Pray. There would also be hotel and cabin-style, short-term accommodation. The site is located on 24.77ha of rural land near the Mooloolah BP service station, close to Ewen Maddock Dam. Council officers are recommending approval as the proposed development "is considered to be generally consistent with the SEQ State Planning Regulatory Provision". They also argue the site "meets the essential location requirements for a major tourist attraction". Under the Sunshine Coast water park master plan, the council will be required to include a modified definition of the term "building height" so the building height can be measured "from the finished fill level of the site". The height limit for buildings and structures would then be code assessable provided the height above finished ground level did not exceed 15 metres. However, alterations would be allowed over 15m to accommodate a taller ride structure. The site was previously used to store pipes associated with the construction of the SEQ water grid. Tourism and events councillor Jason O'Pray said the water park would be "amazing for the Coast". "We are the perfect place to build it," he said. Full article here: http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/support-for-giant-water-park-grows/2517715/ Looks like the original proposal was in July last year so it may have been mentioned in another thread.

Yoram Ettinger, "Second Thought"
Assembled from Various Jewish Sages
1. "Next Year in the Reconstructed Jerusalem" concludes the annual reciting of the Passover Saga. How pertinent in March 2010?! 2. Passover's centrality in Judaism and in the context of Judeo-Christian values: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." The first of the Ten Commandments refers to the Exodus and not to the Creation or to God's Covenant with Abraham or with Jacob. The remembrance of the Passover Saga (via daily prayers) and the annual family reciting of the Exodus – on the even of Passover – are included among the 613 Laws of Moses. The Passover Saga is highlighted in most Jewish prayers and rituals, such as the welcoming of the Sabbath, the blessing over the wine, during each holiday, upon circumcision, at the door step (Mezuzah) of Jewish homes, etc.
3. David Ben Gurion, the Founding Father of the Jewish State (UN Commission, 1947): "300 years ago, the Maylower launched its historical voyage. How many remember the data of the voyage, how many passengers were on the Mayflower and what kind of bread did they consume? However, 3,300 years earlier, the Exodus from Egypt took place. Every Jew knows the date of the Exodus – 15th of the Jewish month of Nissan – and the kind of bread – Matza, unleavened bread – consumed. Until today, Jews all over the world tell the story of the Exodus and eat Matza on the 15th of Nissan. They conclude the story of the Exodus (Hagadah) with the statement: "This year we are slaves, but next year we shall be liberated; this year we are here, but next year in the reconstructed Jerusalem."
4. Passover highlights the fact that the Jewish People have been passed-over by history's angel of death, in defiance of conventional wisdom. Non-normative salvation has characterized Jewish history ever since the Exodus, the Parting of the Sea, the destruction of the Temple, the exiles, the pogroms, the expulsions, the Holocaust, Communist and other forms of anti-Semitism, on-going Arab/Muslim terrorism and wars, etc. However, the involvement of Moses, Aaron, Phineas, Joshua, Caleb and Nachshon (the first to step into the Red Sea) attests to the crucial role played by principle-driven, steadfast leaders.
5. Passover highlights the centrality of Liberty, Roots, Education and Collective Responsibility. Passover commemorates the creation of the Jewish People and their transformation from Diaspora slavery to National freedom. The difference between the spelling of Ge'oolah (deliverance in Hebrew) and Golah (Diaspora in Hebrew) is the first Hebrew letter, Alef, the root of the Alpha-Bet. Alef is the first letter in the Hebrew spelling of critical root values: God, Truth, Faith, Covenant, Credibility, Awesome, Power, Abraham, Light, Father, Mother, Love, Soil, Adam Courage, Spring, Unity, Food, Responsibility, Immortality/Everlasting, Cure, Horizon, Patrimony, Tree, etc. In order to attain liberty and to transform (personal or national) Diaspora into Deliverance, one must return to one's roots.
6. The Exodus took place around 1,300BC, 600-700 years before Greek philosophers promoted democracy, establishing the Jewish People in the forefront in the on-going battle against rogue regimes. Passover is celebrated on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan – the first month of the Jewish year and the introduction of natural and national spring (Nitzan is the Babylonian word for spring and the Hebrew word for bud). Nissan (its root is Ness – miracle in Hebrew) is the month of miracles, such as the Exodus, the Parting of the Sea, Jacob wrestling the Angel, Deborah's victory over Sisera, Daniel in the Lion's Den, etc. The 15th day of any Jewish month is endowed with full moon, which stands for optimism in defiance of darkness and awesome odds. It is consistent with the 15 parts of the Hagadah (the chronicles of Passover), 15 generations between Abraham's message of monotheism and Solomon's construction of the first Temple and the 15th day of the Jewish month of Shvat, Arbor Day – the "Exodus" of vegetation.
7. Passover has four names: Holiday of Pesach (Passed-over; sacrifice), Holiday of Liberty, Holiday of Matza and Holiday of Spring. The number 4 features in the Passover Saga: 4 Sons, 4 glasses of wine, 4 Questions and 4 stages of divine deliverance. The 4th Hebrew letter (Dalet) stands for G-D.
8. Passover is the first Jewish holiday, according to the Jewish calendar, which starts in the Spring (Aviv in Hebrew, which consists of two Hebrew words: Father of 12 months), the bud of nature. The word spring is mentioned 3 times in the Torah, all in reference to the Exodus. Passover – which commemorates the creation of the Jewish nation – lasts for 7 days, just like the creation of the universe. Passover is the first of three Jewish pilgrimages, succeeding Soukkot/Tabernacles (Soukkota was the first stop in the Exodus) and preceding Shavou'ot/Pentecost (which commemorates the receipt of the Ten Commandments and the Torah).
9. Passover – the role model of Liberty – interacts with Shavou'ot/Pentecost (role model of morality), since Liberty interacts with Morality. The one constitutes a prerequisite for the other. The Liberty/Morality interdependence distinguishes Western democracies from rogue regimes. No appeasing rhetoric would transform rogue regime into a free/moral entity. Herut is the Hebrew word for Liberty and Harut is the Hebrew word for inscription, which refers to the Ten Commandments.
10. Passover – just like monotheism, the Sabbath, Ten Commandments, repentance/Yom Kippur – constitutes a Jewish gift to humanity. It constitutes inspiration to liberty-loving peoples ("Let My People Go"). Jews have been targeted by enemies of Liberty (from Pharaoh, Nazism, and Communism to Palestinian/Arab/Muslim terrorism and Ahmadinejad) because Jews have been rightly perceived as the messengers of liberty as a God-given natural right and equality before law.
11. Moses, the hero of Passover, has become a role model of principled and steadfast leadership. Moses' name is mentioned only once in the Passover Hagadah, as a servant of God, a testimony to Moses' humility, in order to humanize – and not – deify – Moses and to highlight the role of God in the Exodus. Similarly, Moses' grave site is purposely unknown and the only compliment accorded by the Torah to Moses is "the humblest of all human beings." The Mosaic legacy has greatly impacted the US democracy. Hence, Moses' marble replica at the House Chamber on Capitol Hill (facing the Speaker), at the Rayburn House Office Building's subway station and above the table of the Justices at the Supreme Court.
12. Passover inspired the Puritans, the Pilgrims and the US Founding Fathers:
*George Washington and John Adams were
compared to Moses and Joshua.
*Adams, Jefferson and Franklin proposed the Parting of the Sea as the official US seal.
*John Locke – who authored the first draft of the constitution of the Carolinas – considered the 613 Laws of Moses to be the worthy legal foundation of the new society in America.
*Ezra Stiles, the President of Yale University: "Moses, the man of God, assembled three million people – the number of people in America in 1776…" (May 8, 1783).
*President Calvin Coolidge: "The Hebraic mortars cemented the foundations of American democracy…" (May 3, 1925).
*John Winthrop, the first Governor of Massachusetts: "God has entered into a Covenant with those who are on their way to wilderness in America, just as he had entered into Covenant with the Israelites in the wilderness of Sinai… (A 1630 sermon on the Arbella).
They considered themselves "the modern day People of the Covenant," King Charles was "the modern day Pharaoh," the Atlantic Ocean was "the modern day Red Sea" and America was "the modern day Promised Land, New Canaan."
The term Federalism is based on "Foedus," the Latin word for "The Covenant." The Founding Fathers were inspired by the political structure of the 12 Tribes, which sustained semi-independence, were governed by tribal presidents/governors and by Moses (the Commander-in-Chief), Aaron, Joshua and the 70 person Legislature, a role model for the 13 colonies and the US democracy.
13. The Exodus is mentioned 50 times in the Torah, equal to the 50 years of Jubilee, a pivot of liberty ("Proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof," Leviticus, 25, 10, inscribed on the Liberty Bell). 50 days following the Exodus, Moses received the Torah, which includes – according to Jewish tradition – 50 gates of Wisdom. Where does that leave the 50 States?!
14. Passover commemorates the victory of Jewish demography. Jacob emigrated to Egypt with 70 relatives, but Moses launched the Exodus with 600,000 adult males and a total of some 3 million people. The Exodus was the first case of a massive Jewish Aliya (immigration) to Israel, in defiance of odds, as have been all major Aliya waves since 1948 (1950s, 1970s, 1990s), but consistent with Jewish history and destiny. Currently, there is a robust Jewish demographic tailwind between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean. The number of annual Jewish births has surged 50% between 1995 (80,400) and 2009 (121,000), while the number of annual Arab births has stabilized during the same period. Moreover, Herzl launched the Zionist voyage in 1897 with an 8% Jewish minority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, Ben Gurion celebrated the November 1947 UN vote with a 33% Jewish minority, but in 2010 there is a 67% Jewish majority in the combined area of pre-1967 Israel, Judea and Samaria and a 60% majority with Gaza.

Study says Social Media makes people jealous, upset, unhappy,
Besides the dangers of social media used as a friction-less conduit for propaganda, social media users encounter other emotional roadblocks:
- "61% of the participants felt worse after finding out someone "unfriended" them, and 59% were upset after someone posted a negative or critical comment on their profile
- 57% said after going on social media they've felt that someone they follow has a better life than they do
- 59% felt sad after seeing photos from a party they didn't attend posted on social media and 45% were unhappy after seeing photos from a friend's happy holiday outing
- 58% were angered by a photo a friend posted of them online that they didn't want made public
- 54% felt upset when no one liked or commented on a photo they posted
- 42% were jealous when they saw a friend had more likes or comments than they did on a status update
- Just 31% of people aren't bothered by the number of likes they receive on a post
- 24% of men said they worry that if they get few like, their friends will think that they are unpopular, compared to one-in-six (17%) women
- To get more likes, 32% of men said they'd post something funny about a friend, compared to 21% of women"
Source: Study: Social Media Making People Anti-Social, Jealous – Study Finds
The above items have nothing to do with the propaganda aspects of social media, but with other psychological issues.
Last night, I logged into Facebook for the first time in two weeks. A quick review saw many posts from FB friends advocating political positions.
FB is sort of an emotional outlet for angry people, who want to vent, plus the arrogant who believe it is their duty to tell everyone else how to think. There is a difference, of course, between telling others what they should think, versus informing others with information and encouraging them to think for themselves. Regardless, both positions are marketing or propagandizing messages to their targets.
And much of it discourages thinking – emotion laden propaganda posters, for example. are designed for a fast System 1 gut level response, to be Liked and Shared without thinking.
Our FB news time lines start to show us much screaming and shouting. Few of those posting these items are interested in serious discussion of the issues. Many delete opposing viewpoints and discourage or shut down dissent.
As I've cut down on my social media usage, I have documented amazing health benefits. I have more time for other activities that give real enjoyment. But with cutting down on social media, I also have less material for this web site! I am considering whether I've accomplished what I set out to do, which was to understand the social media propaganda phenomena. I created this web site – originally private and not visible to the public – to record my notes.

Traditional Padaw Tuju Dulung ship ceremony during the Iraw Tengkayu festival on December 27, 2015 at Amal Beach, Tarakan city, East Kalimantan. (shutterstock.com/antoni halim/File)
The Education and Culture Ministry has recognized three cultural works from North Kalimantan as Indonesian Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2017, following a ceremony on Oct. 4 in Jakarta.
According to the province's official website, among the recognized cultural works are the Tidung tribe's traditional ceremony of sending a Padaw Tuju Dulung ship out to sea from Tarakan city, the Dayak tribe's Kenyah Jatung Utang musical instrument from Metun Sajau village in Bulungan regency, and the Lalatip dance from Malinau regency.
North Kalimantan Education and Culture Office head Sigit Muryono said the province had actually submitted a total of nine cultural works to the ministry. "But six of them did not pass [the ministry's selection process] due to a lack of academic studies," Sigit said in a press release. "'Insya Allah [God Willing] we will submit [them] again this year for the next Intangible Cultural Heritage."

Sigit said the ministry's recognition of North Kalimantan's cultural works will support the province's efforts to boost tourism.
Up to 150 cultural works from 34 provinces were recognized by the ministry as this year's Intangible Cultural Heritage, which include Wayang Garing (Garing shadow puppet) from Banten, Tenun Serat Gamplong (Serat Gamplong woven fabric) from Yogyakarta, and the Mansorandak tradition from West Papua.
Started in 2013, Intangible Cultural Heritage aims to preserve the country's cultural heritage through cataloging, protecting, maintaining, rescuing and publishing cultural objects involving local administrations, communities and scholars. (kes)

ALEXANDER, MEAD, GORMAN, JABAR, HJELM, and HUMPHREY, JJ.
The mother of Corey T. appeals from a judgment entered by the
District Court (Portland, Eggert, J.) finding
jeopardy as to the mother pursuant to 22 M.R.S. § 4035
(2017).[1] She contends that the evidence was
insufficient to support the trial court's finding of
jeopardy.[2] Because the record evidence supports the
court's finding and determination of jeopardy, we affirm
the judgment.
The Department of Health and Human Services initiated a child
protection proceeding, and the court [Dobson, J.)
entered a preliminary protection order and placed the child
in Department custody on April 22, 2017, the day the child
was born. After a contested hearing, by order dated September
14, 2017, the court [Eggert, J.) found jeopardy to
the child's health and welfare. The court based its
jeopardy determination on the following findings of fact:
The mother ... has been diagnosed with Schizoaffective
Disorder, and she has been working with [a service provider]
for at least the past year. Based on the testimony, it is
clear that the mother struggles with daily functioning and
social interactions due to her mental health diagnosis.
According to her psychiatric nurse practitioner, the mother
is only able to manage her own activities of daily living and
there are no signs that she can do much more than that,
preventing her from being able to appropriately care for an
[The mother] has been living at [a women's homeless
shelter] for the past seven years, but cannot live there with
a child. She may soon be getting more permanent housing at a
[supported housing] group home, which would provide her with
24-hour support and would be good for her. The group home is
only for adults. There is no way to determine how long she
would be a resident there, but estimates of six months to two
years are too long to wait for permanency for this infant.
Based on these findings, the court determined, by a
preponderance of the evidence, that the child was in
circumstances of "jeopardy to his health and welfare in
the absence of a Jeopardy Order." See 22 M.R.S.
§ 4035(2). The mother timely appealed. See 22
M.R.S. § 4006; M.R. App. P. 2B(c)(1).
Contrary to the mother's contentions, the court's
findings are supported by competent evidence in the record
that can rationally be understood to establish as more likely
than not that the child was in circumstances of jeopardy to
his health and welfare.[3] See 22 M.R.S. § 4035(2);

Clove is a spice obtained from the calyx of the undeveloped blossoms of
a species of myrtle tree indigenous to the Indonesian Maluku Islands,
also known as the Spice Islands. Along with
nutmeg and other
aromatic spices, clove is used to lend sweet and spicy flavor to various
baked goods and beverages.
As a cosmetic ingredient, clove provides antiseptic and
anti-inflammatory qualities due to the presence of a phenolic compound
called eugenol. This compound is a common ingredient in many personal
care products, including mouthwash, toothpaste and soap.
Coconut oil
infused with clove and combined with beeswax forms a good base for skin
salves. Similarly, clove-infused
safflower oil makes an excellent
all-purpose moisturizing oil or massage oil that can also be added to
the bath. Alcohol-based infusions are used to make perfumes and after
shave lotions.

I want to convert a SQL Server execution plan (sqlplan) to a graphics file so that it can be easily shown to others. I could not find a utility to convert a sqlplan file to an image file. Is there a utility that I missed that can be used to convert a sqlplan file to an image file?
I am also familiar with the idea of using CTRL-Print Screen to copy an image of a window to the paste buffer and then using a graphics utility like Microsoft Paint to save the image as a graphics file. However, It saves the entire window. I have noticed other posts here that manage to just show the execution plan without anything else (like the SSMS clutter) and was wondering if there is an easy way to do that without editing the image.

VICTORVILLE — The Make-A-Wish Foundation threw a wish presentation party Friday at Olive Garden for 6-year-old Jose Enciso, who has acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
"I think it's great that we can do something for someone in a difficult situation," Olive Garden Service Manager Craig Smith said.
Claudia Enciso, Jose's mother, told the Daily Press they first heard about the Make-A-Wish Foundation at Loma Linda University Medical Center, where Jose was being treated. Foundation officials told her they could grant Jose's wish: a trip to Disneyland.
Jose and his family's tickets are booked for Monday. They will stay for five days at a Hilton Hotel just outside the park's entrance in Anaheim.
"I'm excited to go on the Mater ride," Jose said of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, a popular ride in California Adventure's Cars Land. "I'm excited to see Mickey and all the characters."
On Frinday, the Enciso family dined free during the event courtesy of Olive Garden. Dessert came in the form of a cake resembling a soccer ball atop a bright green field created by Lydia Strietzel of Lydia's Edible Art Cake and Cookies.
"I feel like that's why I have the talent (for) doing this," Strietzel said. "I love donating to any cause I can."
Bobby Tarango, vice president of the Apple Valley Storm Soccer Club, gave Jose numerous soccer-themed gifts, including a soccer backpack.
"It's amazing to see community members come together for a child's wish. We are truly blessed," Jennifer Hernandez said.
Hernandez is no stranger to seeing wishes come true. In addition to serving as the director of the Sunset Hills Children's Foundation, she's also a volunteer wish granter for Make-A-Wish.
"He's very outgoing," she said of Jose. "He loves to dance and listen to music on his mom's phone all the time."
Jose said he is excited to leave for DisneyLand and is especially looking forward to eating one of the theme park's new gourmet donuts.
With tears in her eyes, Claudia Enciso thanked the Make-A-Wish Foundation and all who helped mae Jose's "Wish Party" a reality.
Those interested in getting involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation may contact www.wish.org.

33% of antibiotics prescribed by NHS are given without associated diagnosis, England's Chief Medical Officer warns
A third of the antibiotics prescribed by the NHS are given out despite there being no medical evidence that they are necessary, England's Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies has said.
The fight against antimicrobial resistance is being hindered by Doctors who hand out antibiotics in order to 'validate' that a patient is unwell, Davies claimed.
In making her point, Davies noted that around 33% of all prescriptions for antibiotics are recorded with no associated diagnosis. Prior research has found that around 20% of antibiotics prescribed by GPs are handed out inappropriately.
"It is really difficult at the moment in the NHS to know what's used where and how often," Dame Sally told the Westminster Health Forum.
"A third of prescriptions do not have an associated diagnosis - people are not using the [Nice] guidelines. There is a difference between what's needed physically and what's needed socially.
"Doctors think patients are asking for antibiotics, but actually when you talk to them they are asking for validation that they're sick and antibiotics are the best way."
Davies also warned of the misuse of antibiotics that occurs in other countries around the world. While farmers in the UK have reduced their use of antibiotics by 40% in recent years, lawmakers in the US have recently given the green light for citrus farmers to spray streptomycin on their crops.
Pharmaceutical companies and their efforts to boost sales have contributed to the problem of AMR.
"I don't think this should be a free pass for companies that are behaving badly in other countries," Davies said. "If I have a say in it bonuses for sales staff are out, dirty effluent are out, and a good many other things."

With the construction of the Resorts World Sentosa, many attractions familiar to visitors of the 1980s and 1990s have since been demolished (such as the Ferry Terminal and the Musical Fountain), and the rest slipped into obscurity (such as Fort Siloso and the Underwater World). We'll take a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of these places.
Constructed: 1994
Status: Lost
Demolished: 2002
Fantasy Island was to Sentosa what Big Splash was to mainland Singapore, but with an additional entrance fee for Sentosa itself (it is, after all, an "island" within an island). However, it is curious how this water theme park was located nowhere near the beaches. It seems unlikely for visitors looking for water activities to get wet at Fantasy Island, get changed, and get wet again at the beaches. Therefore, despite being located close to the central axis, Fantasy Island never attracted the number of visitors they wished for.
Following a series of accidents that occurred at Fantasy Island, it finally closed down in 2002 and was demolished soon after. Today, the land is occupied by Universal Studios. The Adventure Cove Waterpark can probably be considered the "replacement" for Fantasy Island.
Constructed: 1995
Status: Lost
Demolished: 2006
Before the northern part of Sentosa became a theme park, the Volcanoland was probably the closest thing to it. A Mayan-themed attraction with an artificial volcano, visitors would go through an "adventure" to the centre of the Earth and learn about the origins of the Universe. Never mind if the Mayan culture is totally on the other side of the globe, or that Singapore is not located near any Volcanoes; if visitors would travel to Las Vegas to watch an artificial volcano erupt, why not Singapore? Volcanoland was probably more exciting for local students though, who would have learned about volcanoes in school but never got to see a real one.
While such mystery-adventure kind of attraction may generate interest, especially among the younger visitors, it probably was not worthed revisiting over the years. Its relatively favourable location near the central axis indirectly resulted in its eventual demise when the entire area as redeveloped for RWS.
Constructed: 1993
Status: Lost
Demolished: 2006
Asian Village
The Asian Village seems like Sentosa's attempt to have a throwback at the earlier tagline of the then Singapore Tourist Promotion Board – "Instand Asia". This village was zoned into three areas, namely the North Asian Village, South Asian Village and Southeast Asian Village, showcasing copies of representative architecture from these respective regions, along with performances, crafts and other features. It was probably Sentosa's answer to similar ethnic/region-themed attractions on the mainland, such as Tang Dynasty City and Geyland Serai Malay Village (both of which have also been demolished).
The different zones in Asian Village
In addition, there was the Adventure Asia zone, with rides for kids who wished to take a break from the cultural bombardments. While there were attempts to name some of the rides with more local-sounding names (e.g. Sotong Balls, Sultan's Carousel), others were really just included to attract more visitors.
The Magical Cups and Sotong Balls rides
Although there were no monorail stations dedicated to it, the Asian Village was a few minutes' walk away from the Ferry Terminal. The cable car service from Mount Faber ran directly above it, thus it would have been quite visible to incoming visitors. However, this was not sufficient to attract enough visitors to sustain it. The Asian Village was closed in 2000 and was stuck in limbo for about 6 years before giving way to RWS.
Status: Lost, Found
Lost Civilisation
It seems ironic that the attempt to artificially create evidences of a lost civilistaion and ruins is now largely forgotten. Yet at the same time, it is also one of the few attractions replaced by RWS to have surviving evidences still standing in Sentosa.
Lost Civilisation
These stone relics were clearly visible from the monorail when it ran from the Ferry Terminal to the Underwater World
Similar to Volcanoland, this attraction was given an intriguing storyline to create a sense of mystery. Relics and artifacts were scattered along the trail between the Ferry Terminal and the Underwater World, clearly visible from the monorail. Storyboards were also located at strategic points, revealing more and more about this "lost civilisation" that once lived on Sentosa. The centrepiece of this attraction was the Ruined City.
Remnants of the Lost Civilisation along the Coastal Trail
Today, a few of these "relics" can still be seen along the Coastal Trail, near the periphery of RWS.
The Coastal Trail can be accessed from the Siloso Point bus stop, near the Underwater World
Status: Lost, Found
Dragon Trail
The Dragon Trail was yet another attempt by Sentosa to play with the mystery factor. A simple stroll in the secondary rainforest at Mount Imbiah was overlaid with a storyline about dragons living in the forest (probably to differentiate itself from the nature reserves on the mainland). Thus, visitors were expected to engage in a game of treasure hunt, to discover the various dragons lurking around the trail.
Dragon Trail
The trail technically began at the Dragon Court of Imbiah Lookout. The Dragon Court featured a statue of a dragon's head and front claws, while its tail was supposed to be somewhere along the trail. The dragon's head was demolished in 2003, and was replaced with the Carlsberg Sky Tower (now the Tiger Sky Tower).
Dragon Court
Another dragon at Imbiah Lookout
"Skeletons" and "fossils" of the dragons
Most of the other dragon "relics" are still visible today, although the dragon narrative has been dropped. Today, the Nature Walk is promoted purely as such – a walk in nature. The Nature Discovery directs visitors from Imbiah Lookout to the Nature Walk.
The Nature Discovery leading towards the Nature Walk
The "Guardian of the Grove" can be found near where the Nature Discovery meets the Nature Walk. It is apparently the same lion statue that stood atop the Thye Hong Biscuit Factory at Alexandra Road
Status: Found
Mount Imbiah Battery
At the top of Mount Imbiah stands the Mount Imbiah Battery, which served as one of the military installations on Pulau Blakang Mati, along with Fort Siloso and Fort Connaught Battery. Fortification on the island began as early as the 1880s.
Apparently the concrete blocks were not part of the battery back then, and were relatively newer additions
Mount Imbiah Battery was decommissioned in the 1930s, and subsequently became a storage location after WWII.
Cartridge Recess No. 5
While Fort Connaught has been overtaken by a golf course, and Fort Siloso converted into a tourist attraction, Mount Imbiah Battery has remained relatively untouched after the British army left. Remains of the battery can be found next to the MegaZip Adventure Park and the Imbiah Tower.
Mount Imbiah Battery
Interestingly, there seems to be a consistent trend in the various attractions of Sentosa over the years. Artificially constructed heritage and history were abandoned for the two polar extremes: a more authentic historical/natural heritage (i.e. the forts, the nature walks and the beaches), or an explicitly artificial narrative (i.e. Universal Studios). Yet the basic nature of the attractions remains largely unchanged. There is still a water-based attraction, an oceanarium (two, rather), a series of themed attractions, a musical fountain, a network of nature trails, a number of historic sites, and of course the beaches. However, as visitors increasingly demand for "new" experiences, what further changes will Sentosa undergo in the future? Only time will tell.

Minor Use permits
Details of the two permits are below.
A copy of the permits are attached, along with an updated list of the industry's minor use permits.
The industry minor use permit program is facilitated as part of the levy funded project NY15004 National Nursery Industry Biosecurity. Having access to a variety of chemical pest control options builds a level of resilience in the industry and facilitates the prudent use of chemicals through rotations and limits the reliance on one or two major chemicals. The program also considers the development of emergency permits pre-empting significant biosecurity incursions and ensuring that options are available in the event of an incursion.
