Hyderabad: The four day Public Hearing Programme on enhancement of reservations for Backward Classes among Muslims conducted by the Telangana State Commission for Backward Classes passed off peacefully on Saturday.
Around 421 representations were received adding to a total of 13,780 including online submissions. Several intellectuals, youth, professional and political forums belonging to Muslim Community, and representatives of caste organizations,
BC organisations and Welfare Societies of Hindu Community, and a number of individuals including woman from diverse social and economic strata appeared before the BC Commission, many of whom articulated their views.
Almost all representatives from Muslim Community have argued in support of 12% reservations, where as those from Hindu Community stated that it was not a matter of concern for them if the enhanced reservations are implemented without tinkering the existing quota for Hindu BCs.
Some organizations like BC Hakkula Samithi, Munnuru Kapu Sangam, Reddy Jagruthi, etc., said that they were opposed to increase of reservations to Muslims.
Public Hearing programme on Saturday received overwhelming response from public. Eminent persons including legislators Akbaruddin Owaisi, Farooq Hussain, Aamer Shakeel, Syed Aminul Hasan Jafri, Syed Altaf Hyder Razvi, Kauser Mohiuddin, Bhaskar Rao and A. Jeevan Reddy, Aamer Ali Khan (News Editor, Siasat Daily), Khan Lateef Khan (Editor, The Munsif Daily), Congress leaders Shaik Abdullah Sohail and Syed Nizamuddin, Jaleel Ahmed (President, All India Majlis Tameer Millat), Ghiasuddin, Babu Khan, BC Front Chairman Palaru Rama Krishnaiah and other leaders appeared before the commission.

The World Bank's investment arm plans to pump about $800 million into Iraq's energy and banking industries over the next three years to help boost development in the private sector, a senior official said on Wednesday.
Reuters reports that Rashad Kaldany, vice president of the International Finance Corporation, said between $300 million and $500 million of the capital would go to projects to collect gas that is currently flared at oil fields.
"What we are looking to do over a three-year period is to provide financing [of] about $800 million … [this] would be our goal," Kaldany told Reuters in an interview.
He said the IFC would focus primarily on developing the gas, power generation, banking and construction materials industries, but also the agricultural and housing sectors.
The IFC granted a $400 million seven-year debt facility to the Iraqi unit of Kuwait-based telecoms firm Zain in February to help it expand and improve services.
Kaldany said the IFC was in talks with another mobile operator in Iraq for a loan.
The IFC is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries. It opened its first office in Iraq this year.
Kaldany said the IFC was looking at providing between $50 million and $100 million through a combination of loans and taking stakes in power generation projects run by both local and foreign firms.
It also plans to dedicate $50 million to $100 million to loans or equity of private banks.
Kaldany said two of the biggest hurdles in the development of Iraq were bureaucracy and a primitive financial sector.
"What we are looking to do is to support the development of the banking system both through funding but also to help them with the advisory services and to get new financial instruments into the market," Kaldany said.
Kaldany said the IFC also planned to sign a deal in the next two weeks to take a stake valued at $25 million in the Commercial Bank of Iraq, in which Bahrain-based Ahli United Bank BSC already has a 49 percent stake.

Completely new (4D) 3D-designed sidecar from Jukka Riekkinen, the designer of Speeding 2WS in 90´s.
(That fourth dimension is time, said Albert Einstein)
The ENECMO 2 WS™ sidecar is designed for the most demanding motorist of today especially for the big motorcycles.
The emphasis of planing has been the needs of family motorists as well the quality, the equipment and the design.
3D-modeling and detailed preparation work during many years gave the possibility to finalize every detail as perfect as possible without making many prototypes before starting the production.
Sidecar production will start at 2017!
The nose and the tail of TailWing™ trailer will be modified similar to the sidecar, the production will start after that!
There are plenty of special features and standard equipment, important from
the users point of view, which normally don't exist in other sidecars, such as:
– Polished stainless steel tube roll bar with 3-point seat belt readiness.
– Unbreakable, scratch resistant windshield. (Polycarbonate)
– Possibility to ride the bike with or without sidecar. (=alternative use)
– Steering sidecar wheel, better driving behavior and less wear of tyres. (2WS)
– Adjustable steering damper.
– Adjustable suspension and disc brake.
– Tilt opening door makes stepping in and out easy even for children. (Easy entry)
– Detachable rain hood with detachable windows , Cabriolet or Targa models.
– Detachable seat upholstery and adjustable seat for two passengers
or one grown up and safety seat for baby.
– Stylish inside wall upholstery elements and dash board with many handy details.
– Fresh air vent in instrument panel for sufficient ventilation.
– Giant size lockable trunk with smooth inside surfaces which needs no upholstery.
– Trunk hatch hinges are modern "outside lifting 2-bar style".
– Modern design without futuristic tricks.

I sometimes wonder why we read, listen to and watch stuff. Sure I get it, lots of time it's about getting some 'compatainment' (company plus entertainment) when you're on your own in a car or home, or when you just want to chill out.
News and TV stuff absorbs so much of our time but what good does it do?
Recently, I thought that we don't commit enough time to self-improvement and it bugs me that we waste time on the dumb stuff instead of the smart and valuable things of life.
I know why: few people in our life actually get in our ear and encourage us to do so. Of course, we might have a parent or boss who says we should study, do training, get fit, eat better, etc. but most of us don't have someone who actually mounts the case for investing time and/or money in getting smarter, fitter, healthier and so on.
We lack life coaches, objective commentators who are out to help you, and people who really show you the way.
I was knocked out by US leadership speaker, John Maxwell, when I emceed him around Australia a few years back. John revealed to the audiences he spoke to that he was knocked out as a young man when he was asked by his mentor: "What's your plan for self-improvement?"
He was embarrassed as he didn't really have one, even thought he doubted if anyone else he knew had one either! I must admit I'm surprised he did not say: "Having you and taking your advice is my first step to creating one!"
Yep, having a mentor is a significant step. I'm yet to meet someone who has one, or has invested in a business or life coach, who hasn't impressed me as someone with high aspirations.
The same applies to those who seek out groups that are designed to help fellow business people network, share ideas and get insights, or even customers.
All these moves are stepping stones to what I think is the ultimate big step of writing down your self-improvement plan. Something like this would cover fitness and diet to cover health. You might commit to reading or listening to inspirational educators on subjects that will make your smarter and wiser, while you should have a money plan to make sure your wealth is heading in the right direction.
Imagine having a single person who acted as your caring inspector on these subjects. What if they got you out of bed for a hard 30-minute exercise routine every day, stopped you eating processed and sugar-laden food, found great YouTube mind-expanding videos to listen to on the way to work and delivered you books on highly successful people that gave you clues on how to be a success yourself?
I was lucky to marry someone like that and I owe a lot of my success to Maureen. In all honesty, I've been better at receiving than giving but I am in the process of changing that — better late than never!
So why all of this life coaching and self-examination from Peter Switzer today?
Well, Tony Robbins has a new book called Unshakeable, which he wrote with a financial adviser to try and dispel financial fears with facts that hold people back from building wealth.
"I really wanted to write a book to show what you can do when everybody else is afraid to get that peace of mind," Robbins told Forbes.com. "I want to protect people, but I also want them to see how this could be an opportunity for the greatest growth."
In looking at some of the big mistakes that people make with money, he pinpointed out four biggies:
1. Failing to cash in on compounding. He uses an example similar to one I used when I wrote the Aussie version of the US book A Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Rich. "Robbins uses the example of someone who invests $300 monthly for eight years until he's 27, investing a total of $28,800. Even if he doesn't invest another penny, says Robbins, he'll have close to $2 million when he retires at 65, if the market continues to compound like it has over time, at 10 percent or more annually on average." (Forbes). And the later you start, the less you'll get when you retire or the more you will have to save to catch up.
2. Time in the market is the next great piece of advice. Again, it's something I've educated people about for decades. You see, if stock markets gain about 8.2% per annum over a 20 year, despite some shocker years over that time, if you missed the 10 best trading days over a 20-year period, your returns drop to 4.5%, according to an analysis by the Schwab Center for Financial Research. Fear after a crash drives people out of the stock market and they often miss the rebound year, which can be anything from 30-80% here in Australia!
3. Don't pay too much in fees. While income compounds in the right direction, fees compound your nest egg in the wrong direction. As Robbins points out, generally, if you're paying more than 1%, you're paying too much.
4. Robbins has discovered what all financial advisers know makes sense: be diversified. Having property, stocks, term deposits, bonds and even collectables can be a way to be more protected when, say, the stock market goes haywire because other markets might be gaining nicely. Perth house prices are under pressure now when the stock market is rising but when the GFC hit, house prices were heading up, thanks to China and the building boom in mining.
Robbins is a master at motivating people and in reality, I'd be surprised if he tells me anything I don't know, though I'm always up for a new lesson. What I like about him is that he knows how to provoke people to self-improve.
If you can master that, there's a damn good chance you will be happy, healthy, wealthy and wise.

Pandemic disrupted the entire world and affected many industries.
Get detailed COVID-19 impact analysis on the Wind Tower MarketRequest Now !
A wind tower is a tall structure, at the upper end of which the nacelle and the wind turbine are mounted. Wind tower is manufactured in multiple designs such as uni-directional, bi-directional, and multi-directional. Moreover, the length of the wind tower relies on the energy generation capacity of the turbine and the size of its blades. A wind tower with large blades causes them to come in contact with structures on the ground. Thus, to keep the long blades of the wind turbine clear of the ground and other objects, it is imperative to choose a wind tower with an optimal height. Wind towers are often used in hot dry climates for cooling purposes.
This report projects the trends and opportunities of the global wind tower market. It includes a qualitative and quantitative analysis with comprehensive research methodologies and reliable projections to understand the present overview and predict the market behavior during the forecast period.

It is funny how there isn't enough hours in the day in order to complete all the tasks I've created for myself. I hate how this blog seems to be neglected. But rest assured I will be back in due time. Right now life just consists of work, work, work… and all the driving to get to work. I've also accumulated another house guest and it is hard to keep up on laundry and cooking. I still have two assignments left to complete in a Preschool Orientation Course that I'm doing in order to become certified for Early Childhood Education.
However, I've recently began writing on another blog-style website called Boys on the Block. According to the about section on the website,
Boys on the Block is a website/blog that discusses everything dealing with boy bands, especially those from the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. While all boy bands are discussed here, we will be up front… it's mostly Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block.
Now I've known the owner and creator of the site for some years now, as with other writers. When she said she was looking for others to contribute… how could I turn down such an awesome opportunity. I use to write for an online Indie Music Magazine years ago and loved it, so why not write again. Plus, I've always been a fan of both BSB and NKOTB.
I just uploaded a post on the site about my Favorite Backstreet Boys Memory, leading up to their 22nd anniversary (and a contest where people are asked to send in their favorite memory). So why not go and check it out (and while you're there… leave us some love!)
Click the picture above to see the post!
I'm hoping to post more regularly in the coming weeks. As far as I know right now my replacement is finishing up just before Easter and I have some other exciting adventures coming up. Stay tuned!

SINGAPORE — Will the industry soon see a set of standards for the airfreight handling of perishables? Opinions at Changi Airport (SIN) are mixed, here on the floor of the Singapore Air Show.
Yesterday, Singapore Airlines Cargo senior manager Clinton Tan told Air Cargo World that IATA's CEIV-Pharma certification program was necessary to get stakeholders aligned in pharmaceutical transport standards. Similar certifications for live animal and perishables – two of the freight categories SIA plans to target for growth – would be "steps in the right direction," he said.
Meanwhile, cargo services manager Sam Gould at dnata said he expects CEIV will continue to evolve to cover more product areas, but questioned whether it is necessary for perishables handling. The cargo handler already upgraded its own cool-chain facilities at Changi's Airfreight Centre to compete with Singapore Air Terminal Services (SATS), and would likely not need to meet any imposed CEIV-perishables standards beyond its current operations.7 - Readers Like This Post

Fall is here…
Artist Alley, Quebec
Lost in Fog
Sunrise at Deboville Slough
Fighting the urge to sleep in on a lazy Sunday morning, I dragged myself out of bed before sunrise to make sure I was out on the dike before the sun came up. Cool nights and warm days ensured that there would be a nice blanket of fog covering the slough when the sun came up. Needless to say, Mother Nature delivered as expected!

Good morning on this stormy Thursday.
A remaining taxidermied peacock will be removed from the wall today, and with that, Acme Studio, a prop house, photo studio and hub of Brooklyn creativity, will close.
You may never have set foot inside the studio in Williamsburg, but you'd surely recognize its aesthetic.
Its warehouse of found art, reclaimed wood, vintage furniture, Edison bulbs and taxidermied creatures helped create a particular Brooklyn look that has made the neighborhood a global brand.
But after just eight years in Williamsburg, the relatively recent newcomer is moving out. The neighborhood has changed, the studio's owners said, and the rent is too darn high.
"There's a different creative class in this neighborhood now," said Brian Colgan, the studio director. "It's the fashion and advertising creative class — more the office side of it — and the makers and the artisans that maybe people would typically associate with Williamsburg have moved out."
The studio was founded in 2010 by Shawn Patrick Anderson, who rented the 4,000-square-foot space on North Third Street and Kent Avenue for $4,000 a month.
"We made our name on taxidermy," Mr. Colgan said, "and renting reclaimed wood, rustic items, old tools, rope, stools that you'd milk a cow on — you know that whole look."
"I think that also sort of lined up with what people thought of when they thought of Williamsburg," he added. "We kind of hit that at the right moment."
Initially, Mr. Colgan recalled, celebrities were wary of traveling to the Brooklyn waterfront, past a grimy loading dock and into their studio for a photo shoot. But as the neighborhood fully arrived as destination for artists, celebrities like Missy Elliott, Katy Perry, Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum and others began booking the studio.
It didn't last for long, though. Those same economic forces that once made the neighborhood a hub for creative types quickly began to drive it out of their price range.
An Apple store and Whole Foods moved in nearby. Acme's rent skyrocketed (it's now $15,000 a month). Apartment buildings shot up around the studio, obscuring its view of the Manhattan skyline.
"You could never do this again in this neighborhood," Mr. Colgan said, "get a huge space that's basically raw, and do what you want with it. I think we were just at the end of being able to do something like this."
Although Acme Studio has closed, Mr. Colgan and Mr. Anderson have moved their workshop and prop-rental business to another rapidly changing Brooklyn neighborhood: Bushwick.
"I can't just have this become a museum to my life and what I've done," Mr. Colgan said. "It's time to move on to the next adventure."
Here's what else is happening:
It's the final day of May, but it doesn't feel like it.
We're expecting almost entirely gray skies, with a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm this afternoon. The high is in the upper 60s, about 5 to 10 degrees below the average this time of year.
Watch for soupy and stormy weather, with highs in the 80s, through Sunday.
In the News

And Finally …
On this day 199 years ago, the poet Walt Whitman was born in West Hills, Long Island.
Four years later, Whitman moved to Brooklyn, where he would eventually work at a law firm and at various newspapers, including The Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
He spent 28 years in the borough and wrote often about our city. (You can learn more about the poet by taking one of these tours of his New York.)
His legacy here, though, continues to be a matter of debate.
When Whitman published "Leaves of Grass," in 1855, he was living in a wood-frame house at 99 Ryerson Street in Wallabout, Brooklyn. An effort to make the decidedly unattractive building a landmark stalled last year when the Landmarks Preservation Commission said the building had been "substantially altered" since Whitman lived there. The commission also pointed out that poet probably only lived there for six months, not a substantial enough time to merit a designation.
But the Walt Whitman Initiative, a local nonprofit, isn't taking no for an answer. They've called on local leaders to support the landmark designation and are gathering at 8 a.m. in front of the house for a rally.

Whether one of our Columbus, GA, family dentists, Dr. Phillip Tully III or Dr. W. Newton Sharp, has recently told you that you have a cavity or you are just curious to learn more about specific dental services we offer, you've come to the right place. Many people will deal with a cavity at some point during their lifetime and it's always important to understand how a cavity is removed and the tooth is restored.
What is a tooth-colored filling?
Also referred to as a dental filling, this tooth-colored composite resin is used to fill a cavity and restore a tooth both in strength and appearance. The resin is moldable, making it easy for our Columbus dentist to shape and contour the resin over the cavity to completely fill it. While there are other kinds of dental fillings, a tooth-colored filling is the most common and popular option since it blends right in with the tooth. With a tooth-colored filling, no one will ever be able to tell that you have one.
How is a tooth-colored filling placed?
First and foremost, our Columbus dentist will need to remove the decayed portions of the tooth to prevent the decay from spreading. In order to do that, we will first administer local anesthesia to the gums around the tooth. This will ensure that the area is completely numb so you won't feel any discomfort during the procedure.
Once your mouth is numb, we will use a dental drill to remove the decay. Once the decay has been removed it's time to rebuild the tooth with your new filling. We will choose the shade of resin that will most closely match your tooth. From there, we will apply it in layers. As we mentioned, the resin is like putty, so we can shape, mold and trim it to blend right in with the rest of the tooth. Once a layer has been shaped we will harden it into place with a laser. We will continue to apply layer after layer until the tooth is completely rebuilt. Lastly, we will polish the tooth so that the resin offers a sheen that's similar to natural tooth enamel.
How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
Composite resin fillings are pretty strong and resilient; however, they aren't designed to last the rest of your life. Of course, maintaining good oral hygiene is one surefire way to guarantee that your filling lasts as long as possible. The average lifespan of a tooth-colored filling is about seven to 10 years (but they can last longer, too).
Do you have questions about the comprehensive dental services we offer in Columbus, GA? Do you need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Tully or Dr. Sharp? If so, then give us a call. We are here to help in any way we can.
Do you need a crown but don't have enough room in your schedule for multiple dental appointments? Same-day CEREC crowns offer a convenient alternative to the two-appointment crown process. Columbus, GA, dentists Dr. Phillip Tully and Dr. W. Newton Sharp explain how CEREC works.
CAD/CAM technology simplifies crown production
Thanks to computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), crowns can be created in the dentist's office, rather than a dental laboratory. Versatile crowns are used to strengthen, stabilize and restore fragile or damaged teeth, but also offer an excellent way to improve the appearance of a crooked, discolored or short tooth.
Traditionally, the crown process involved reducing the size of your tooth, making an impression of your mouth with gooey dental putty, then sending the impression to a dental laboratory for fabrication of the crown. You left the office with a temporary crown and were given a list of foods to avoid to prevent damaging or dislodging the temporary crown. Two weeks later, you returned for the new crown.
When you receive a CEREC crown, you'll only need to visit our Columbus, GA, office once. After preparing your tooth, we'll use a digital camera to create a virtual impression of your mouth. Many patients are particularly happy to hear that there's no longer any need to use uncomfortable putty impressions, thanks to the virtual impression process.
After we create the virtual impression, we'll manipulate a 3D computerized image of your mouth to design a crown that will fit your mouth perfectly. With just a click of a button, the design will be sent to our in-office milling machine, where it will be crafted from a block of ceramic. The entire process only takes about an hour and completely eliminates the need for a temporary crown. Should there be any issues with the fit of your crown, a new crown can be created while you wait.
Are you interested in finding out if a CEREC crown is a good option for you? Call Columbus, GA, dentists Dr. Phillip Tully and Dr. W. Newton Sharp at (706) 323-6491 to schedule an appointment.
Some signs of oral health problems are easy to recognize. For instance, a toothache can be a sign of a cavity, while gums that bleed when brushing or flossing can be an indication of gum disease. For other oral health concerns, such as root canal problems, many people are unfamiliar with the symptoms and do not know when to see a dentist. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of root canal problems and seeing a dentist right away can prevent the problem from getting worse. Dr. Phillip Tully is your dentist in Columbus, GA, for root canal treatment.
Signs and Symptoms
There are several indications of the need for a potential root canal. If you develop any of these signs or symptoms, see a dentist in Columbus for treatment. Common signs and symptoms of root canal problems include:
- Persistent pain and pressure in the mouth
- Severe tooth or mouth pain
- Sharp pain when biting down while eating
- Pain and sensitivity when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages
Root Canal Treatment
Root canals are needed when the soft pulp material at the center of a tooth is infected and causes an abscess to form below the root of the tooth. An untreated abscess can cause other oral health problems to develop and lead to extraction of the infected tooth. Root canal treatment makes it possible to preserve the tooth, eliminating the need for extraction. Root canal treatment involves clearing away the infected pulp from inside the tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the area is cleaned and filled, much like a cavity and the tooth is restored.
Benefits of Root Canals
There are several benefits to having root canal treatment. Your Columbus area dentist can advise you if root canal treatment would work for you. Some of the benefits of root canal treatment include:
- Avoiding extraction of infected teeth
- Preserving the natural teeth
- Strengthening infected teeth that have become weak
- Restoring normal tooth functioning, such as biting and chewing
- Protecting surrounding teeth by reducing the strain on them
- An uncomplicated procedure similar to filling a cavity
There are several signs and symptoms of root canal problems. See a dentist in Columbus, GA, right away if you are experiencing these signs or symptoms. Root canal treatment can preserve an infected tooth and prevent the infection from spreading. To find out if you might need root canal treatment, schedule an appointment with Dr. Tully by calling the office at (706) 323-6491.
Modern dentistry provides many convenient, effective solutions to dental issues. One of the best examples of these state-of-the-art procedures is CEREC. CEREC cuts out the need for a dental laboratory in creating porcelain dental restorations, saving patients time, money and effort. Learn more about CEREC and how it can benefit you with Dr. Phillip Tully at his practice in Columbus, GA.
What is CEREC?
CEREC is a state-of-the-art system which allows your dentist to create porcelain dental restorations right inside their office rather than relying on a dental laboratory to perform the design and creation process. CEREC's system consists of a computer CAD/CAM program, a special wand for taking 3D images of the mouth, and the CEREC machine itself, which carves the restoration from a block of ceramic. Your doctor will use CEREC's system to perfect the design of your restoration and ensure that your results have the most natural look possible.
What can CEREC do for me?
CEREC can create dental restorations like crowns, bridges and veneers. These restorations can be used on their own or in conjunction with dental procedures like dental implants. The CEREC system cuts out the need for a dental laboratory. Skipping this step saves you the fees associated with using the lab and the time spent waiting for your restoration to return to your dentist's office. CEREC also eliminates the need for taking physical clay impressions of your mouth. Eliminating the laboratory step allows your dentist to design, create and place your restoration all within the same dental appointment.
CEREC Porcelain Dental Restorations in Columbus, GA
If you need a dental restoration, your dentist can help you determine if CEREC restorations are the best course of treatment for you. CEREC has proven to be a safe and effective method to create dental restorations, using high-quality materials to ensure the most durable restoration and natural look possible. For more information on CEREC, please contact Dr. Tully at his practice in Columbus, GA. Call (706) 323-6491 to schedule your consultation for porcelain dental restorations with Dr. Tully today!
The facts about dental fillings
If you have a tooth that is decayed, there is a good chance your tooth can be restored with a dental filling. Dental fillings can give back your full set of teeth, restoring teeth broken by trauma, worn down by age or decayed from poor hygiene and too much sugar. Dr. Phillip S. Tully III in Columbus, GA wants you to know all the facts about dental fillings and what they can do to restore your smile.
Dr. Tully first has to remove the damaged or decayed area of your tooth, making sure you only have healthy tooth structure remaining. Then Dr. Tully will discuss the different materials and choices for your filling. Together, you can determine the best choice for your needs and budget. Consider:
Metal (amalgam) fillings, if you want the strongest and most durable filling material; metal fillings are a good choice for back teeth where biting forces are the strongest.
Gold fillings, if you want a strong filling and you like the beautiful color of gold; these fillings are custom-made in a dental laboratory and require more than one appointment.
Composite or tooth-colored fillings, if you want a filling that is virtually indistinguishable from your existing teeth. Your Columbus dentist can match the color of composite perfectly so people will notice your smile, and not your fillings.
Porcelain fillings, if you want a cosmetically beautiful, strong filling. This type of filling is created in a dental laboratory, and so it requires more than one appointment to complete.
Glass ionomer fillings, if you need a filling along the gumline; these fillings are also tooth-colored and can be matched very well with your existing teeth.
A dental filling placed by Dr. Tully can provide you with years of protection, restoring both full chewing function and creating a beautiful addition to your smile. If you have teeth that are damaged or decayed, don't wait! Restore your teeth with a dental filling before the damage or decay gets worse. Call Dr. Tully in Columbus, GA today and get back your smile!

Polgwedhen Lodge is really special because of its truly private location. it is within the 10 acres which comprises our smallholding, but it has its own driveway off the main drive. The farmhouse is the only other property, but it does not overlook the Lodge, and the Lodge does not overlook the farmhouse.
Sometimes, people are under the impression that this is one of several lodges., but this is not the case. Polgwedhen Lodge is the only one and enjoys its glorious lakeside location all on its own.
Even better, it occupies the sunniest spot on the whole property!
We live in the farmhouse, and we like to say that we are on hand if needed, but that we do not intrude.
This is the perfect hideaway for a romantic break, or to unwind and take in the peace of the natural environment around you, whilst still enjoying easy access to the best attractions in Cornwall.
Polgwedhen Lodge is a secluded lakeside holiday home surrounded by extensive gardens, private grounds and wildlife. Although hidden away in the peaceful Cornish countryside, the lodge is just 4 miles from the cathedral city of Truro. Free private parking is available on site. Guests can enjoy views over the lake from the lodge, which is situated at the end of a private lane. A TV with DVD player, comfortable seating and a pebble-effect fire are featured in the open-plan living area. The fully fitted kitchen includes an oven, fridge and microwave. A patio with barbeque facilities and outdoor seating is also on offer. St. Agnes beach is 5 miles away from the property, whereas Falmouth, on the South Coast, is approximately 10 miles away. Scenic walks, cycling and golf can all be enjoyed within the local area.

Over the weekend I asked y'all whether you'd like to read a British Airways A380 first class trip report. A while back I had locked in a British Airways A380 first class award seat, which I hadn't fully decided whether to actually fly or not. British Airways A380 first class award seats can be tough to come by, so when I saw the space I figured I might as well lock it in using British Airways Avios, since I can always cancel it for free (I'm a BA Gold).
A vast majority of you told me to take the trip, stopping in Germany for a couple of nights for the Christmas Markets. I can't not listen to you guys, so now I'm just trying to decide how to get to Germany.
My friend sjs commented the following on the post:
Why not? And do AF F on the way back. Did it for 125k points last week…a rip, but nothing else was available. Was pleasantly surprised – I liked it more than I like Lufthansa. That doesn't say a whole lot, since I really dislike Lufthansa, but it was a surprisingly pleasant experience compared to what I remembered (obviously doesn't compare to CX/SQ).
Is it a crazy idea? You guys tell me.
I am trying to knock out every airline's A380 first class product, and with travel I have booked, Air France is the only one I'm scheduled not to fly. Air France does have a pretty nice looking first class lounge in Paris with spa treatments and a restaurant serving multiple course meals, and they even drive you to your connecting flight, much like Lufthansa. While their first class hard product on the A380 is probably the most underwhelming of any airline, it would certainly be interesting to try it, if nothing else.
But the thing is that Air France is one of the most extreme airlines when it comes to releasing first class award space, as they only release it at the standard level. So a one-way award between the US and Europe costs 125,000 FlyingBlue miles plus fuel surcharges, which is kind of ridiculous.
That being said, the good thing about them only having standard awards is that you have near last seat availability on flights. As long as there's "F" space available you can redeem your FlyingBlue miles for it.
While it
sounds is expensive, under United's new devalued award chart they're charging 110,00 miles for one-way first class between the US and Europe on partner airlines, and that's for saver award space. And the only partner airline they have which releases first class award space is Lufthansa, and that's at most 15 days out.
So, do I "take one for the team" and check out Air France's A380 first class and Paris lounge, or do I take one of the (much) more economical options for getting to Europe on miles? What would you do, wise friends?
Air France A380 first class

I am writing to complain about the appearance and condition of Stockton High Street.
We have the nation's widest High Street and probably the dullest.
Middlesbrough on the other hand has a great town centre. Ray Mallon has done an impeccable job of keeping his town nice.
Stockton is bland and monotonous. I don't actually know who our Mayor is, which just goes to show what they have done for us.
Please can we have a nice town to live in. Applying for city status is futile unless we have a place worthy of tourist activity.
I must give full marks to Ray Mallon and wish he was our Mayor.
I hope this letter can open the eyes of my Mayor to the exact state of my home town.
JOHN CLAY, Hartburn

We hung on at Coole Pilate till today. I'm afraid this will be pretty much our schedule for the next 3 weeks; 2 or 3 days on the bank, followed by a short cruise.
We don't need to be at Ellesmere Port till about the 26th, and its only about 6 gentle days cruising. At the museum we're planning to hire a car to go to Liverpool for my first race of the season, then nip "up North" to see the family.
Meg and I have had a couple of good walks in the area, although yesterday's was a bit of an assault course. To get to the Weaver, we had to cross a very deeply ploughed field, gateways full of slurry and waterlogged fields. But it was worth it.
Like a petrified sea….
You can imagine Meg thinking, "You've got to be joking!"
The Weaver.
At this point the river's heading north, having turned from it's SE'erly course near Audlem. It'll go through Nantwich, Winsford and Northwich before emptying into the Mersey at Runcorn.
From just above Winsford it has been made navigable, and can accommodate coastal vessels. Or at least it could. It'll need a good dredging to fulfill that role again.
Meg needed a good clean up when we got back...
Tuesday was a bit grim, strong winds and heavy showers, Oddly enough we saw more boats traveling that day than either yesterday or today, when it has been fine and dry. Some people are suckers for punishment.
BW are making a meal of cutting the hedges near Hack Green. I think it'll be a while before they need to come back!
At Hack Green is "The Secret Nuclear Bunker". Sue on No Problem has already mentioned that it's not so secret with dirty great signs pointing to it!
This is where in the event of a thermonuclear war, those selected would find themselves holed up, while us ordinary mortals watched our hair and teeth fall out….
Leaving Hack Green Bottom Lock
The bit we're on now was built as the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, and the whole became the Shropshire Union in 1845.
We arrived at Nantwich around 13:00, and moored on the embankment south of the aqueduct. In fact the town centre is about a mile to the west. I'll go shopping tomorrow. One essential is a new axe. I cracked the head of my old one splitting wood on Tuesday.
Nantwich Embankment Moorings.
The embankment and aqueduct here is another case of a local landowner refusing permission for the canal to cross his land. In this case it was the resident of Dorfold Hall. So the canal had to swing in an arc to the west, requiring the building of the embankment pierced by the main road. We shouldn't complain though. The revised route gives us another of those fine cast iron aqueducts that Telford was so fond of.
Nantwich Aqueduct.
Looks like it's leaking a bit though.

We have decided to phase out the Mixed Reality Forums over the next few months in favor of other ways to connect with us.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
The plan between now and the beginning of May is to clean up old, unanswered questions that are no longer relevant. The forums will remain open and usable.
On May 1st we will be locking the forums to new posts and replies. They will remain available for another three months for the purposes of searching them, and then they will be closed altogether on August 1st.
So, where does that leave our awesome community to ask questions? Well, there are a few places we want to engage with you. For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality. If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers.

Touchpad issues
I saw a few people had similar problems where the touchpad (mostly on the left controller for some reason) would detect a false input, rendering it completely useless and in many cases extremely irritating (constantly moving in games) but nobody seems to have found a consistent fix. Restarting used to fix the problem temporarily, but now mine has completely died.
No touch input at all, and therefore I can't even click the touchpad as that feature uses the touchpad for locating the button press.
I left it overnight and when I came back in the morning it had fixed itself, but I went out for half a day and when I came back the purple dot was back again, which is better than no touch input but still makes many games completely unplayable. Resetting the controller with the pair + windows button is what causes it to completely die by the way, so at least its consistent, which hopefully means its software or firmware and not hardware.
Anyone know a fix, workaround or a way to buy individual left motion controllers?

I have the same problem here. I open the WMR portal and then Steam VR. Then open a game (Pulsar Lost Colony and Stand out) and after a few mins the left controller touchpad starts to work on his own (a false input is the best way to describe the problem). If I go back to the WMR portal and have a look at the touch pad I can see it blinking in random positions without I touch it.
Fixed this by open the Windows mixed reality app in steam instead of the standard Steam VR app. If I do so the controller keeps working
An additional problem I have only with the left controller is the battery indicator in WMR portal indicates the controller battery low after few minutes. Is there a specific capacity requirement for the batteries of the controller?0

One of the highlights of my visit to London were all the Turkish Ceramics and Middle Eastern designs at The Victoria and Albert Museum and The British Museum youtube video offline downloaden.
I've seen and studied Iznik Ceramics in books before…
But this is the first time I've seen ACTUAL Iznik artefacts from the 1550s, up close, with my own eyes, staring at their intricate patterns, their tessellating tile goodness, each teeny-tiny brush stroke, and marvelling at the way the colour puddles at the end of each painted line libre office.
Yeah I got a bit excited.
And yeah I'm a bit embarrassed that I'm just in a London museum and not actually in a mosque in Istanbul, looking at these Iznik patterns, in their natural surroundings download ndr podcast.
(There's a travel goal in that one!)
So I really couldn't contain myself internet videos downloaden firefox. My heart was singing and doing cart-wheels all over the place!

Random Thoughts and Junk
Apparently someone pulled a fast one on Bin Laden and sold him some fake nuclear waste. For groups who cant afford to make an actual nuclear bomb, the next best thing is to get nuclear waste and make a "Dirty Bomb". Which is basically a conventional explosive slathered in a steaming layer of nuclear waste. Dont let them scare you though, they can be great at parties.
Now I dont know what is more frightening, the fact that Bin Laden (and/or others) are actually trying to buy nuclear waste or this comment, made by a Pentagon official:
"The stuff we found in Afghanistan was not the real stuff. They were swindled, like a lot of other people."
Ummmm ... swindled like a lot of other people ? That could be taken two ways. One he meant to allude to the general nature of the act of swindling OR there are people out there making a ton of money selling fake nuclear waste. I dont know about you, but my Guidance Counseler in High School NEVER told me about cool jobs like this.
Another thing I find frightening is how Jonathon Lithgow says the word Testicle. Check it out on Nova in the "Life's Greates Miracle" segment.
Another thing I find scarey is the fact that we go from one President who gets blown all the time to one who is all about blowing shit up. The more I see of the Bush Administration the more it reminds me of the kid you played cops and robbers with and just as you were about to catch him and shoot him he would yell bulletproof and then pull out an imaginary hand gernade and blow you all to hell.
Okay thats enough rambling for now, plus I dont want to push of Mawd's "This is getting outta hand..." post because we are having fun commenting on it and driving Jon nuts.
BTW: The new Star Trek game: Bridge Commander has just released their demo ! Check it out, oh god its VERY sweet !!!

Cory posted about the release of the new Segway scooters, and I have to admit tht they are the coolest things in the world. Well, after several months, the first three are now up for sail by auction on amazon.com and the prices are skyrocketing to insane levels.
There are still 35 days left in these three auctions and the prices are already up to over $100,000.
This is crazy!

Damn Miss Cleo
Well... I'm being harassed by Miss Cleo. No joke. The company behind that old bag is called Access Resource Services. I have received 2 rather nasty pre-recorded messages saying that I need to call them because of unpaid bills and that AT&T has confirmed this. They continue to say that if I don't pay it will hurt my credit drastically. At the end of the recording they give a phone number and tell me to call them. Welp, I called them both times.
It seems like the person that owned this phone number before me disappeared. Him and his wife just vanished into thin air. I have had nearly 10 different credit companies call me demanding money. To top that, I've had many family members and friends calling and looking for the two of them.
Back to Miss Cleo. Both times that I have called I have been treated like a big pile of stuff that comes out of the rear of a dog. Even though I've told them who I was and when I got the phone number. Still doesn't matter. I think the collectors there go to Bitch'Camp in the summer or something. That is located near Ima Whore River and down the road from Cuntsville just in case your wondering.
After being hung up on for the 2nd time today by a lady there, I decided to look into this Cleo business. Seems like they are HUGE trouble makers.
Come on Cleo, leave the old widows alone
I started thinking. If Miss Cleo was such a great Psychic, she would be able to tell on the phone who and who would not be paying their bill.
M.Cleo "Hi, I'm Miss Cleo, what can I do for you today sweetie?"
Lady "Well, I think my husband is chea..." gets cut off by Miss Cleo
M.Cleo "Hold on a darn second there now, I can tell you be calling me for some help now child, but I can also be telling that you not be paying me in 2 months either"
Lady "But I.." interrupted again
M.Cleo "Girl, do you think I'm made of money? Do you think I am going to sit here and listen to you for free?! Miss Cleo doesn't play that game now. Now get off my phone, your cutting into my crack time now."

Browse our range of publications including performance and financial statement audit reports, assurance review reports, information reports and annual reports.
The objectives of the audit were to:
- assist OGIT in the timely identification and correction of any deficiencies in the evaluation process;
- provide advice to the Parliament, the Government and other interested parties on the probity of the evaluation process; and
- test for adherence to legislative and other specified requirements, such as in industry development.
The objective of the audit was to review AUSTEL and the Spectrum Management Agency's approaches to service delivery against recognised good practice and to identify opportunities for the new Australian Communications Authority to adopt the relevant features of these approaches in its service delivery.
The audit objectives were to report on the efficiency and effectiveness of selected agencies' management of telecommunications services. The specific purpose was to:
- identify the potential for more effective management of telecommunications services;
- consider the appropriateness of Commonwealth agencies' management of telecommunications services to take advantage of technological opportunities; and
- identify the elements of sound administration in the management of telecommunications services.
The audit criteria addressed agencies' performance against benchmarks of sound administrative practice in relation to procurement; planning; business process re-engineering; financial management; and performance management. The audit focussed primarily on telecommunications services, as distinct from capital items and equipment.
The audit objective was to assess the Department of Employment's management of the effectiveness and quality of employment services delivered by Job Services Australia providers.
The objective of this audit was to determine whether Australian Government entities were implementing effective strategies to support increased Indigenous employment.
The Australian Diplomatic Communications Network was developed to provide a secure communication and automation capability for domestic offices and overseas posts. The audit focussed on project management of the ADCNET project, and in particular:
- how effectively the ADCNET project was managed;
- how effectively project risks were managed; and
- the extent to which project management processes have established whether ADCNET meets the specifications set by, and the expectations held by, DFAT, as well as any lessons to be learnt for this and other future projects.
The audit objective was to determine whether Australian Government agencies were implementing appropriate policies and processes to identify and manage conflicts of interest.
The objective of the audit was to review AusAID's management of funding to Non-Government Organisations, to assess whether:
- the objectives of overseas development programs to be delivered by NGOs were clearly established;
- funding mechanisms for the delivery of aid programs by NGOs were clearly defined, consistently applied, and in compliance with the law; and
- whether AusAID could provide assurances that NGOs delivering development projects using Commonwealth monies are accountable for: proper expenditure of Commonwealth monies; the achievement of stated objectives; and the achievement of value for money.
The ANAO examined AusAID documentation on overseas development programs delivered by NGOs, looking particularly for clear objectives, performance measures, and evaluation mechanisms. Three levels of documentation were examined:
- government programs;
- grants schemes; and
- individual projects.
The objective of the audit was to assess the effectiveness of Australia's arrangements to meet its treaty obligations under three selected treaties:
- International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage 2001;
- Agreement between Australia and the International Atomic Energy Agency for the Application of Safeguards in connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1 July 1968 and Additional Protocol; and
- Convention on the Rights of the Child 1990.
The audit objective was to assess selected agencies' compliance with the four mandatory ICT security strategies and related controls in the Australian Government Information Security Manual.
