Standing amid the vastness of the Mongolian steppes, where a pattern of contrasting greens extends in all directions to infinity, and where sunsets which rival the fires of distant volcanoes before surrendering to nights as still, deep, and awash in stars as the Milky Way itself is like no other experience on Earth. Such an experience, because of Mongolia's isolation, had traditionally been shared by few outsiders; that, however, is beginning to change. That Mongolian Ministry of Tourism reports that for the year 2007, more than half a million tourists visited their country.
Yet time, in Mongolia, still often seems to move no more swiftly than the twin stone turtles which guard the boundaries of the Erdene Zu Buddhist monastery, built from the ruins of Chinggis Khan's ancient capital city of Karakhorum. Karakhorum, set on the barren highlands at the crossroads of the legendary Silk Road, has more than one hundred other stupas, or Buddhist temples, and it's also the place where the Mongolian pavement ends.
Before you arrive at that point, however, your adventure in Mongolia will almost certainly begin two hundred miles (334 km) to the northeast, in the modern-day capital of Ulaanbaatar. Both China Air and the Mongolian State Airline fly into and out of Ulaanbaatur. More succinctly known to Europeans as "UB," Ulaanbaatar could not be more different from the nearly 1,60 0,000 square mil es of Mongolia wilds which surround it.
Those entering and leaving Ulaanbaatar are likely to receive a jolt of culture shock, but "UB" is the "place to be" ifyou long for a taste of nightlife, a shopping spree, five-star cuisine, and some museum-hopping before striking out for the empty Mongolian countryside.
Even Ulaanbaatur has its share of peaceful places, with serene monastery courtyards set against the backdrop of the Four Holy Mountains and the gently meandering river, the Tuul Gol. You'll get a fascinating glimpse into the entire history of the Mongolian people from as early as the Stone Age until the 21st century by visiting the National Museum of Mongolian History.
Another must see is the Bogd Khaan Winter Place Museum, the home and monastery of the country's final governmental and spiritual leader. Wherever you are in Ulaanbaatur, you will be able to see the high-rise Soviet-era apartment housing built between between 1925 and 1990.
From Ulaabaanturyou can arrange trips to many of Mongolia's eighteen provinces In the Gobi Desert is about 375 (600km) miles to the south, you can visit the magical canyon of Yolin Am in the Great Gobi National Park. Few sights in your life will astonish you as much as the sight of the frozen river, or Gobi Glacier, at the base of the canyon, which survives the desert heat until as late as August each year
If you have journeyed from Ulaanbaatur to Korakhorum and reached the end of the pavement, continuing on by car will eventually lead you to the Great White Lake. Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur). Here you can camp among the local population in a traditional tent known as a ger, designed with an interior central fire efficient enough to protect both man and beast from some of the coldest extremes found anywhere. The fish are so abundant in this mountain lake that they attract seagulls from the ocean thousands of miles distant. You can also hike a mile further to climb the crater of an extinct volcano.
Small and extremely sure-footed, no horses are as sturdy as Mongolian horses, and one of the best ways to immerse yourself in this amazing land is on the back on one of them. In the westernmost corner of Mongolia is the perfect place for your equestrian adventure, the hidden kingdom of the Altai Tayn Bogd National Park.
The home of meadows, lakes, forests, wetlands, and glacial mountains, this area of Mongolia is a study in eco-diversity. Its nearly 2500 mi2 (6500 km2) offers protection to many at-risk species, including Mongolia's magnificent wild sheep, the argali, and the rare snow leopard.
Mongolia's average one-mile (1580 meters) altitude makes it one of the world's highest countries, so you should acclimate yourself to heights before starting your trip. The best time to travel is between the months of June and September, when the cold Siberian wind is at its weakest, and the daytime temperature can climb close to 90°F (30°C). To be safe, pack what you'll need in case of a surprise snowfall, which can happen at any season.

There is absolutely nothing simple about a move. The scope of the cleaning requirements that need to be done can be frustrating indeed, particularly if the renter is strained with work and other commitments.
Preparing for move out cleaning.
The contract signed by the homeowner and the occupant typically includes a stipulation that binds the latter to leave the home as they had discovered it-empty, pristine, and undamaged. In addition, for occupants who have actually decided to move out, the proprietor might add service charges against deposit funds if specific areas are not cleaned out.

The main benefit of hiring Goshen expert cleaning service company is that they can do the job more thoroughly and more effectively. A cleaning crew can work wonders, and bring back a place that has been lived in for rather some time into an area that is almost brand new. An individual without sufficient experience in utilizing cleaning equipment and cleaning chemicals would not understand exactly what kind of chemical to utilize to remove a specific type of stain.
Exactly what to anticipate when moving in
Moving into a new area in Goshen can be laborious.

Bringing it to the original condition ought to be your objective when you make this choice.
You should also check the walls to see if there are spots on them. Walls with discolorations can be a huge problem due to direct exposure. See to it you remove wall-stains with a moderate hand to stay clear of eroding the paint because if that happens, you will lose a big portion of your deposit money.
After you have done all the cleaning, ensure that you check the fridges and ovens. The seals of the refrigerators have to be in correct condition, and the ovens ought to be clean enough for usage. When vacating in Goshen, these checks will certainly enhance the probabilities of getting the deposit sum in whole.

DIG: What was so special about the thirteenth day of the twelfth month of Adar? How and why were the Jews able to triumph? Who turned the tables? Who were the Gentiles really "afraid" of? Why did all the rulers support Mordecai?
REFLECT: When might "winning the battle," mean "losing the war?" Is there a time when "going easy" on a defeated enemy might only invite troubles later on? Why or why not? How do you know the difference? When have you had the tables turned on you? How did you feel? What did you learn from that? Looking back on your life, when did God work silently behind the scenes for your benefit?
Eleven months after Haman had cast lots, the dreadful day arrived at last. On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the decree commanded by the king was to be carried out. Before the author described what happened on that historic day, he summarizes the significance of the events: On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but now, because of the counter-decree (see Bi), the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them (9:1). Although the circumstances are illustrated with the passive phrase, the tables were turned, the sense is clearly that ADONAI had caused them to turn. In the book of Esther where the LORD appears to be absent, He is nonetheless present. Namely, God is the hero of the story.
The Jews assembled in their cities in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to defend themselves from those determined to destroy them. No one could stand against them, because the people of all the other nationalities were afraid of them (9:2). The fear of God's people could only be explained in terms of the fear of their God, who vindicated their righteous cause by convincing their enemies in the whole Persian Empire of having backed the losing side.103 Even with government opposition, however, the hatred that many Persians felt for the Jews resulted in the children of Isra'el having to defend themselves nonetheless. The phrase, no one could stand against them, did not mean their enemies failed to attack. It meant that they could not conquer them. Many times in the Scriptures ADONAI causes fear to fall on the enemies of the Israelites. Here, He uses the counter-decree, Mordecai's rise to power, and the authority given to the Jews to defend themselves.
In fact, even the government authorities helped them. And all the nobles of the provinces, the satraps, the governors and the king's administrators helped the Jews, because fear of Mordecai had seized them (9:3). Given that Mordecai was then the prime minister, all the rulers wanted to please him. It is astounding how quickly the political winds can shift. When that happens, it is because ADONAI is working behind the scenes. The author is careful not to mention the LORD; however, he definitely wanted his readers to see God's hand at work.
Only by the sovereign intervention of ADONAI was Mordecai in a position of authority. Mordecai was prominent in the palace; his reputation spread, literally, his reputation was walking throughout the provinces, and he became more and more powerful in the brief months as prime minister (9:4). Probably part of his new found prominence was due to the political shrewdness of the government officials, part was due to genuine affection for who Mordecai was, but we must not discount the fact that they feared the man who stood up to Haman and ruled in his place.
Like Joseph, Mordecai had gone through difficult days and had been in danger of death (see my commentary on Genesis Ja – Joseph in the Pit). But as a result of God's providence, Mordecai's crisis, like Joseph's, became the means of greater influence (see my commentary on Genesis Jv – Joseph as Prime Minister). This fact is often times repeated in the lives of the servants of ADONAI.
Who do you fear? The Bible says the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline (Proverbs 1:7). The fear of the LORD occurs eleven times in Proverbs (and fear the LORD occurs four times). Beginning is the Hebrew re'sit and means the start. We cannot gain knowledge of spiritual things if we start at the wrong point, or refusing to fear the LORD. But what exactly does that mean? To have the fear of the LORD means to recognize God's character and respond by revering, trusting, worshiping, obeying and serving Him. Re'sit also means the capstone or the essence. Therefore, the essence of true knowledge is fearing God. Apart from Him we are ignorant of spiritual things (Romans 1:22; Ephesians 4:18; First Peter 1:14).
The book of Esther invites us to think about the nature of faith in a world where ADONAI is unseen. Those who have placed their faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can understand what the author of Esther expresses so eloquently. Hebrews 11:1 says it this way: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. In other words, the very definition of faith calls us to believe in the unseen reality lying behind, or beyond, the events we do see, even when, and perhaps especially when, He acts in unexpected ways. Therefore, on what do we base our lives, if not the visible presence of God? It is the explanation of life that ADONAI gives us in His Word. The deliverance of the Jews gives us the hope of God's presence and power in our lives even when He seems absent. And as seen in the book of Esther, the answers to our prayers are already on their way, set in motion through a chain of events that may have seemed insignificant at the time.104

Charles I's art collection and the connection to Petworth
King Charles I (1600-1649) amassed one of the most extraordinary art collections of his age, acquiring works by some of the finest artists of the past – Titian, Mantegna, Holbein, Dürer – and commissioning leading contemporary artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens. For the first time since the 17th century, a landmark exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts will bring together these exceptional pieces. But did you know that Petworth House also has a collection of paintings that may have also have started out in the collection of Charles I?
Whitehall Display
The Royal Collection comprised mainly Dutch, Flemish and Italian Renaissane paintings, growing in size following the acquisition of the Gonzaga holdings from Mantua in 1628 and augmented by commissions from living artsts includng Rubens and his pupil Van Dyck.
Charles very much favoured Titian, who he felt had refined "a style combining sensuousness and elegance that, because it could nourish the genius of later generations of artists, never ran the risk of appearing old-fashioned. How the works were hung at Whitehall is only known through hearsay. However the equestrian portrait of Charles I on Horseback with M. de St Antoine (1633, Royal Collection) is known to have taken pride of place at the end of the King's Gallery at St James' Palace.
Art connoisseurs, collectors, and patrons closely associated with Charles I also began to acquire their own masterpieces, becoming known as the Whitehall Circle. This group included Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham and James Hamilton, 1st Duke of Hamilton, who was eputed to have paid for several of the works in the King's collection due to a lack of funds available to the Crown.
The Dispersal of the Royal Collection 1642 - 1649
This volatile period of history was torn apart by Civil War, those supporting the King (Royalists) and those supporting the right of Parliament (Parliamentarians) describes the war in a very simplistic way. By and large those from an aristocratic background were Royalists, but it was not always as clear-cut as that. Allegiances were often changed several times but finally national liberation under Parliament won the day and certainly once the King had been executed in 1649 England became overwhelmed with a religious element, almost to the point of fanaticism.
In June 1649, Parliament passed an Act for the Sale of the King's Goods. His collection became a target for the Puritans and under Cromwell many pieces of art were sold to raise funds for the Navy, or destroyed if they were considered irrelgious. After the war the Council of State began a systematic dispersal of the paintings to pay off the huge outstanding debts that had been accumulated by the King.
David Teniers the Younger was appointed as court painter to the great collector and patron, Archduke Leopold Wilhelm, Governor of the Spanish netherlands, in 1651. Teniers was instrumental in acquiring some 400 paintings from the Duke of Hamilton's collection, together with four of Charles' masterpieces, all of which enriched the archducal collection.
The Petworth Connection
The collection of Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland (1602-1668) is the only one remaining in Britain of those formed by the members of the court of Charles I, albeit depleted, and now divided between the houses of the two successive branches of the family, the Earls of Egremont and the Dukes of Northumberland. Much of it was assembled in the troubled times of the Civil War and Commonwealth, when, as one of the few magnates on the Parliamentary side, he was in a position to acquire, when most of his peers were being forced to sell.
This canvas by Van Dyck depcits two Royalist Generals, Lord George Goring and Mountjoy Blount, 1st Earl of Newport and it was purchased by the 10th Earl from Newport's estate following his disgrace in the aftermath of the English Civil War is a prime example.
In 1647, the 10th Earl of Northumberland commissioned Peter Lely to paint The Three Younger Children of Charles I as a gift for the King, whose children had been placed in the Earl's custody at Syon House. Following the King's execution, it's likely it was given as a gift by Parliament to the Earl, and it now hangs in the Somerset Room.
Perhaps the biggest prize that the Earl of Northumberland gained from the Whitehall Circle collection was a set of small religiou scenes in oil on silvered copper of eight Saints and Prophets by Adam Elsheimer, dating from 1605. They were purchased by the 10th Earl in 1645 from the collection of the Duke of Buckingham, a prominent member of the circle. Following the execution of Charles I, Buckingham's son, a minor, managed to prevent the sale or desruction of these 'superstitious' images and was able to instead ship sixteen chests of pictures to the Low Countries to pay off his own debt supporting the Royalist cause.
This oil on panel was possibly acquired by the 10th Earl from the Dke of Buckingham's collection at York House, where it was referred to as 'a rare Prospective done by Stenwick, the Figures by Pullenburke' in payment of a £360 debt. 'Pillenburke' refers to Cornelis van Poelenburgh (1594-1667), a dutch landscape painter.
The relationship appears to have been a purely intellectual one, but it attracted scandalous gossip at the time. It's likely that following his execution the portrait of Lady Carlisle returned to her and as the sister of the 10th Earl it was then bequeathed to him, thus entering the Petworth collection.

EDWIN KIPTANUI CHIRCHIR email@example.com email@example.com
How do you know when uncle is unhappy? It is when he stops dispensing sweets with reckless abandon, to small children in the estate and instead resorts to over indulgence in alcohol. If you are wondering who uncle is, he is the guy I wrote about here who is nicknamed uncle by the children in the neighbourhood because he always surprises them with sweet stuff from the shops.
So, the thing is, uncle has been grumpy lately. He has suddenly stopped dispensing sweets to the children, which is abit of a relief to the parents, because they no longer spend sleepless nights thinking about possible trips to the dentist. He has also resorted to too much alcoholism which sometimes fool him into thinking that he is the best soloist around, making him sing traditional circumcision songs at the top of his voice.
The genesis of his unhappiness is not because his wife has left him or his teenage sons misbehaved around the estate or he is broke or his eldest son has put someones daughter in the family way. No, it is because his favourite candidate (Raila Odinga) lost in the recent general eletions to one Uhuru Kenyatta.
For that reason, uncle has resorted to calling anyone within earshot and lecturing them about free and fair elections and normal curves as well as giving some technical breakdown about computer hacking, in addition to withholding his sweets distribution philanthropy to the disappointment of the children.
Thankfully, uncle is reacting to the disappointment gracefully. He has not resorted to looting from the various shops, open air markets and supermarkets, burning tyres on the roads to inconvinience other road users or engaging in running battles with the police. That decision to avoid the police is particularly important because we all know any face off with the police rarely ends well and if he is maimed, who will take care of his family? In fact, apart from the short sessions at irregular intervals in which he sneaks out to get more stock of the frothy liquids, he spends most of his time indoors and 'Mama Watoto' must be very happy. I have noticed her face is glittering lately

Neuroplasticity and Spirituality
Dear .........,
For some time I have been wanting to share references on neuroplasticity with you, but have not done so. I first learned about this from listening to podcasts of one of my favorite American Public Media radio programs, Speaking of Faith. I have been interested in the relationship between neuroscience and spirituality ever since I read the Dalai Lama's book, The Universe in a Single Atom and learned about the Mind and Life Conferences, with which you are no doubt familiar. The interview I listened to some time ago, and again this morning, was with Matthieu Rickard. Ricard is the son of the French philosopher Jean-Francois Revel and before becoming a Buddhist monk in his twenties, earned a Ph.D. degree in molecular genetics at the Institut Pasteur. He is a board member of the Mind and Life Institute. A particular passage in his discussion of neuroplasticity is one that I still remember. "A virtuoso violinist practices for years to gain his virtuosity. We can measure the changes in his (or her) brain. A chess master studies for years to gain mastery and we can measure those changes. Why should we think it would be any different with compassion...."
Anyhow, when listening to Ricard earlier this morning, I thought of you once again and have finally gotten around to writing this note. Here is the link to his interview. I prefer the uncut version, which I listen to while cooking, cleaning or taking a meal. However the produced version takes less time and covers the essential points.
With best wishes,

With the recent issue by Revenue of a list of Frequently Asked Questions dealing with Agricultural Relief (available at http://www.revenue.ie/en/practitioner/ebrief/2015/no-682015.html), I thought that this was a timely opportunity to look at the new provisions for this relief announced in the last budget.
To recap, this is a relief from CAT in respect of gifts and inheritances of agricultural assets which has the effect of reducing the market value of qualifying assets for the purposes of the CAT calculation by 90% where certain conditions are met. Historically the test that was applied was whether over 80% of the unencumbered (with the exception of a mortgage relating to their PPR) value of assets owned by the beneficiary as at the valuation date was comprised of agricultural assets, as defined. While there was a minimum holding period for these assets in order to ensure that a clawback of the relief did not arise (6 years except in the case of development land where the period is 10 years, although there is a grace period of one year to allow for reinvestment), no account was taken as to what use the assets would be put to or whether the asset ownership split altered after the valuation date.
As part of the Agri-Tax review it was recommended that changes be made to the operation of the relief. As there was no requirement as to use, this did not promote the productive use of the land. Naturally since the relief is quite valuable this was not a satisfactory outcome.
In addition to the 80% test an additional test has been introduced with effect from 1 January 2015. Under this the beneficiary must satisfy a number of activity tests. They can either
The above requirements are more onerous on the beneficiary than before and it is critical that they are monitored on an ongoing basis due to the 6 year period for which these should be met. The FAQ's which have been published shed more light on the interpretation by Revenue of these requirements in circumstances such as: where a farmer has an employment apart from the farm; where the activity tests cannot be met immediately; where the date of death and valuation date differ; how a lessee should be monitored; where a spouse farms the land. While these and the others are helpful in providing clarity, it should be noted that they are only Revenue's interpretation/concessions and these can change over time.
The above is merely a summary of the new provisions and as each case would need to be considered on its own merits, advice should be sought before proceeding with any transfers. Contact your OSK Tax Advisor Niall Dempsey with your queries and comments.

May 2002
Caution: Proceed at your own risk - I was in a muy bitchy mood this month...
What light from yonder window breaks?
No, it's me, sorry.
As the world turns, thus setting my sensitive inner ears at an angle and causing me a case of cosmic vertigo... I thought I'd drop into your lives again and tell you something of no import whatsoever.
My shoelaces are dirty.
There, has your insatiable appetite for the inane been quenched? Have you slaked your thirst for the banal? Probably not, which is why you're still reading.
Speaking of the insatiable and thirsty - it's damn near summer. We'll be at the beach in no time. This is good news. I'm looking forward to it. More than the beach, I'm looking forward to the camping. Look out ticks! We're headed your way.
Speaking of nothing in particular, I once thought that I felt the earth turning. I did. And I'm pretty sure it wasn't just my first head rush. I'll never forget it, it was an odd feeling to get of a sudden. I was standing on the porch of my home as an adolescent. I looked up at the sky to watch some clouds. They were going by at a good clip and I thought that there was something strange in how they were moving. I spent a lot of time looking at clouds given one thing and another, but this was different. I looked around and down and then back up. It was like I could feel something else - it took me a minute to figure out what it was. "That must be what it's like to feel the earth moving." I thought. And who knows, maybe I did.
I wasn't faint or drugged when I felt that. Those are different feelings. I once nearly fainted at the sight of a woman. But the earth turning feeling was different - way more subtle. Not to mention less embarrassing.
Had enough yet? Go read some Shakespeare or something.
Here's a new spin on an old concept...
Hey, remember me? I'm that itch in the middle of your back that you can't quite reach. Or maybe I'm something less intimate, but equally frustrating. I've known people intimately who I'd wished were itches and not people. I could list them... but let's not bore ourselves.

PARLIAMENT, November 2 – A nuclear deal for South Africa is still on the table, President Jacob Zuma told MPs on Thursday, despite Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba in his medium-term budget policy statement (MTBPS) saying the country could not afford it at the moment.
During his question-and-answer session in the National Assembly, Zuma was asked about Gigaba and newly appointed Energy MInister David Mahlobo possibly clashing, with the latter remarking after the MTBPS that government remained committed to expanding its nuclear energy programme.
The president said for Gigaba, who holds the country's purse strings, it was a question of when South Africa would be in a financial position to acquire new nuclear capacity. The question of timing, did not mean the two ministers were clashing, said Zuma.
"You can't say if they speak about timing, say they are disagreeing," he said.
"We know what we are doing. We have a policy of mixed energy which includes nuclear. What the two ministers were talking about, they were not saying we change policy. They were talking about how do we implement this particular decision."
South Africa was planning to add 9,600 megawatts of electricity to the grid through nuclear plants, despite pushback from opposition parties and civil society.
President Jacob Zuma on Thursday, told Parliament he would establish a judicial commission of inquiry into allegations of state capture as soon as a ruling has been handed down on his court challenge of former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela's report on the funnelling of public funds to politically connected individuals.
Zuma is challenging Madonsela's directive that he set up a commission of inquiry, to be headed by a judge appointed by Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng.
His lawyers have told the Pretoria High Court that Madonsela's remedial action must be set aside as she did not have the power to order the president to institute a judicial inquiry.
"We are waiting for the judgment," Zuma said while answering a question from Congress of the People MP Deirdre Carter in the National Assembly.
He claimed that "at one point" he had wanted to go ahead and establish the commission of inquiry but that his lawyers told him he could not, as the matter was sub judice.
"If the matter is in court, the same matter, the state capture report, I could not establish a commission of the same thing. Lawyers say it is a matter that is sub judice, heh. You want me to break the law? While the matter is in court , I establish a parallel process?" he added.
"I wanted to do that earlier than anything else and I am ready, after the judgment I am going to establish it immediately. It is coming my dear, don't worry."
Zuma said his critics were wrong to say that he had failed to act on Madonsela's report, titled "State of Capture", that detailed suspect dealings between public companies and the business of the Gupta family.
"I then said the remedial action of the Public Protector was unconstitutional that I had to undertake and I took the report for the review, so I never sat and did nothing. I took action to review the report. I could not push the dates of court, that is out of my responsibility."
He then threatened that a commission would not spare the political opposition.
"There had been too much talk about corruption, even those who are most corrupt they point the finger at the other. Corruption started long before 1994 on the wealth of the state, on the property of the state, so those who are calling for it are going to regret."
Despite calls by civil society and opposition parties for the axing of Social Development Minister, Bathabile Dlamini, President Jacob Zuma on Thursday said she would stay put.
Answering questions in the National Assembly, Zuma said the Constitutional Court gave Dlamini an order to solve the problem of replacing Cash Paymaster Services, who's contract to provide grants to around 12 million beneficiaries was declared invalid by the court, with a new service provider.
Zuma said this was why he could not replace Dlamini.
"Minister Dlamini is dealing with the problem of solving the problem that emerged and we have a committee…that has discussed the solution and we are finding a solution. That is a matter we are dealing with," said Zuma.
Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane objected to Zuma blaming apartheid for Dlamini's failures, asking why Zuma did not fire her during several cabinet reshuffles over the past few years.
"What is not a problem of apartheid is Minister Bathabile Dlamini as minister of social development. She is leading from one crisis to the next and now there's a looming crisis…Minister Dlamini is incompetent. She simply can't do the job…," said Maimane.
The president stuck to his guns, saying it was all connected to apartheid.
"The honourable member [Maimane], who was also oppressed, how can he say apartheid didn't do damage. You say Bathabile is not a problem of apartheid. It's a problem of what? You come with innuendo's, I will answer with innuendos," Zuma said.
Zuma, who chairs the inter-ministerial committee dealing with the matter, said Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba is intervening to help the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) and the SA Post Office (Sapo) reach a possible agreement.
Dlamini earlier in the week said the post office was only able to deliver on one of four key functions to provide welfare grants, that function being an intergrated payment system.
However, the post office contradicted Dlamini saying they were able to perform the other function which included the printing of beneficiary cards, providing a fully-fledged banking service and could use cash-in-transit companies to deliver grants to cash beneficiaries.
MPs were left angered and told Sassa to put on ice a tender that was meant to be published on Friday for a service provider who could deliver on the other three functions.
National Treasury is now doing an evaluation to determine the capacity of Sapo to take over the payment of welfare grants.
Earlier on, South African President Jacob Zuma on Thursday categorically denied that he received any payments from private individuals and companies since he assumed power in 2009, drawing heckling from opposition benches.
"I did not receive any payments from private individuals or companies during my tenure as President of the Republic of South Africa other than those disclosed or reported to the necessary authorities," Zuma said in his last question-and-answer session for the year in the National Assembly.
Zuma was responding to a question from Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane who asked the president about claims in veteran journalist Jacque Pauw's new book "The President's Keepers" that Zuma was on the payroll of Royal Security and received a salary of R1 million in the first months of his presidency.
Maimane tried to push Zuma, saying: "With all sincerity we don't believe you."
Zuma would not budge, hinting that the claims in the book were mere rumours.
"I have given a very categorical answer to the question and secondly there are many books that have talked about Jacob Zuma in this country and saying all speculations and rumours, etc. I don't think my job is to answer books. I've given the answer."

Medical Malpractice Law - Personal Injury Compensation Claim LawyersLEGAL HELPLINE: ☎ 855 804 7125
Doctors and healthcare professionals including dentists, nurses and technical staff are required to stay current in their knowledge of treatment methods and to meet a reasonable standard of care. According to current medical malpractice law, doctors have a duty to conduct their practice in accordance with the conduct of a prudent and diligent doctor in the same circumstances and specialists have a duty to exercise the degree of skill and knowledge of an average specialist in that field. Failure to do so may be classed as a negligent act.
If it can be shown that the actions that caused the injury were errors of judgement as opposed to negligent actions and that the practice followed was accepted by other competent physicians and that the injury was merely an unfortunate result or that a body of respectable doctors would act in a way which deviates from the standard practice, then the doctor may avoid liability unless negligence can be proven. Medical malpractice law relating to liability is complex and you should always take advice from a specialist lawyer.
To successfully claim damages for personal injury under current medical malpractice law, it is necessary to prove the following items on the balance of probability;
- Liability must be established by showing that the medical practitioner was negligent and did not do what a "reasonable doctor" would have done in the same situation.
- Damages must have been shown to have occurred which are usually proved by way of medical reports, accounting projections for lost income and other evidence from experts.
- Causation relates to proof of the link between the negligent action and the loss sustained. It is usually necessary to establish the natural progression of the illness and the likely outcome if non-negligent treatment had been given in order to compare the outcome following the negligent treatment.
Damages Awards
The following items of compensation may be payable by a health care provider under medical malpractice law in Canada;
- pain and suffering
- medicines and medical fees
- loss of past and future earnings
- special care aids and equipment
- travelling expenses
- assistance for household chores
- care and assistance
- adapted accommodation and transport
- general expenses

30 November 2012 <br/> Prompt and professional Great service. I had a tshirt printed with a photo. They questioned the quality of the photo I submitted as it was deemed of insufficient quality, rather than just proceeding with the order and taking my money. I submitted a better quality photo and am delighted with the result. The delivery was very fast and arrived withing two days. Would not hesitate to use again and recommend to friends.

EXCELLENT, FIRST CLASS SERVICE, RECOMMENDED, BOOTS ARRIVED THE FOLLOWING DAY I wanted a pair of Romika Alaska boots, selling on most sites for 89.99 so checked more thoroughly to see if i could find them cheaper. I found some for 59.99, then found shoetique site which was offering to match any cheaper price found and would also deduct 10% of the price difference. I sent an email and got an immediate reply from Laura who said that they could match the price and I could have them for ¡ê57.00. I rang her and she said they would be sent out that day, and I received them the next day. She was very helpful and friendly which is not what you normally find nowadays in shops. Just shows that it does pay to shop around!

JCHE's Secret
Posted: July 9, 2013
JCHE's Shillman House in Framingham, MA has been in existence for over two years. One great measurement of success is that we have a growing wait list for our apartments. Of course, we wish we could immediately serve all the request from the people who would love to live here! It's Shillman House's second birthday and now is a good time to reflect on why we are thriving.
As the Marketing Director my phone rings many times a day with very interested people inquiring about living in the Shillman House. The majority of callers are either the person or couple shopping for their own needs or it may be an adult child inquiring for their parents - most callers know that we are a community for people above the age of 62, we offer support to enable people to age in community and that we serve a 'mixed income' population. They also assume that we have a connection to the Jewish community. (we are non-sectarian and welcoming to all)
My role is to educate interested parties on what we have to offer, to listen to their unique needs and help people to have realistic expectations about life at Shillman (which we always exceed!) and to help get the ball rolling in regards to the paperwork and the general move in process.
So? - What is causing all the community-wide interest in moving to the Shillman House and all the positive 'word of mouth' reviews? No doubt we're a great value - we offer a still new beautiful building filled with donated art pieces, we have cutting edge fitness equipment, we use green energy, we have a well supplied art room, a beauty salon - spa and a modern dinning area and kitchen to deliver excellent nightly sit down dinners. We have intergenerational programs, transportation and fabulous resident services. We are well staffed to maintain the building and to provide support to our residents. All great reasons that no doubt contribute to the 'positive buzz' that Shillman is a great place to live! That said, I think its something even more important: I believe it's because the individuals and their families interested in the Shillman House or in all the other fabulous communities of JCHE create a feeling of positive activity, loving warmth and trust.
JCHE is a mission based non-profit. We exist solely for the well being of our residents. Our Board of Trustees, our management team, our employees, volunteers and donors are involved with JCHE out of love and concern for today's residents and for those who may need us in the future. Going by what I witness from the professional team on a daily basis I see our team engaged with our residents with a feeling love and respect in everything they do. This isn't something you can process or invent - either you have it or you don't and as an organization, JCHE has it! That is why we thrive and will continue to do so.
Scott Brightman, Marketing Director at Shillman House, a JCHE community

I love planning fun things for the kids to do in our homeschool but lets face it there isn't always time with housework ,errands and planning academics. Sometimes the fun gets put to the side.
Clued in Kids provides that fun with interactive treasure hunts that will keep your kids moving and thinking. My kids were able to try...Princess Treasure Hunt Clue Book - $8.99
(Physical Product) For kids ages 4 and Up.
5 Multiplication Dragon Treasure Hunts (2X- 6X tables) - $19.99 (Download and Print) For kids 7-9
The Princess Treasure Hunt came in a small package with tear out pages. It reminded me of a notebook that you tear off. Each page tells you where to hide the card and only took a few minutes to prepare. I did get confused at first and then realized I was complicating it. It only took about 8 minutes in my case a bit more because I had them mixed up for a second there. Let me tell you what I did so you know not to do the same thing. The back page shows you the answer and where the item should be hidden. I was back a card and didn't realize the card told me where to hide it . Yep I had a moment. The card you are hiding at the bottom says leader and tells you exactly where it should go. It is that simple and yet I somehow messed the first on up. Heh heh. At least I figure it out before they went on their hunt.
My 8 year old graciously agreed to help his sister with her Princess hunt. I looked at the cards and thought some of the puzzles might be to hard for her to do alone. So they worked as a willing team.
He read the card to her and they worked on the puzzle to figure out where the next card might be hiding. They either had to find a hidden card or they had to complete a task to receive a card from me.
Here Spirit is bowing to me as a regal prince for his next clue.
The puzzles were easy to complete and the kids went all over the house looking for their next clue such as under their bed , at a window, outside at the doorbell and in our refrigerator.
At one point they were walking around with books on their heads trying to balance and walk.
At one point they were walking around with books on their heads trying to balance and walk.
After that activity they were given this next card. Sweet Pea was able to find the next gem in the pattern but wasn't sure of writing letters just yet so Spirit wrote the letters for her to find they had to go find Sweet Pea's PJ's.
The kids ended with a treat in the dryer. I decided on Princess pretzel wands ,which are pretzels dipped in icing and color sprinkles added to them. Everything we need to make them were in a bag with a bow in the dryer. They were so excited and eager to receive their reward. I can see doing these and a reward not just for completing the treasure hunt but maybe for completing a particularly hard task.
We were also able to review the Multiplication Dragon Hunt. Spirit is at just he right age learning his multiplication facts right now. I decided to use the treasure hunt as an incentive. There are 5 hunts and they come to you as a download. You simple print out he pages and hide them just like we did the Princess hunt. I had Spirit Practice and memorize his facts. We started out with the 2's and moved up the line. Each time he learned them well we would then do the treasure hunt as a review and a little reward at the end. Here is an example of one of the cards so you can get an idea of what they are like.
Your child solves the clue and then know where to find the next clue and so on. In this case there are 2 groups of four dragons. So his answer would be Mailbox. That tells him his next clue is at the mailbox. We taped it to the back of the mailbox.
This was such a great product I wish I had thought of it. My son was learning his facts as fast as he could just to have the treasure hunt!!
My Thoughts:
These treasure hunts are so simple and yet they are such a great idea. I didn't have to do any of the planning other than hiding the cards. The kids were able to take a break and have fun learning. It was just a win ,win all around.
There are many other treasure hunts available. You might want to stop by and read about some of the packages available for Christmas they make great stocking stuffers. You might also want to sign up for Clued in Kids Newsletter. When you do you will receive a FREE Treasure Hunt!!! Give it a try you might be hooked too.

It's sort of ironic to see a flower pattern inside this very edgy sandal. However flower pattern aside I am still on the fence about this sandal. Initially I like it, but then I begin to think there may be too much metal and the front of the shoe is awkward. But I do really dig the overlapping strap on the top, always a big fan of circle metal details along with the studs. the 'Eclipse' to me is gladiator meets dominatrix…and I have yet to decide if that is a winning combination.

How Much (Really) is the Dog in the Window?
There are few things that bring as much happiness as getting a new pet.
Whether a puppy or kitten, adult dog or cat – all pet lovers cherish the day they bring it home.
Many people, however, fail to take in to consideration all the costs that are going to be required in the first year – often leading to financial problems that could have been avoided.
For a puppy or kitten – almost every expense will be new. Unless there was another dog or cat in the home – there will be bowls, leashes, collars, cages, carriers, beds and toys to buy. And these are the least of the expenses. First year vaccinations, de-worming, and neutering/spaying surgeries are the high-ticket items. First year costs for a new puppy or kitten average around $1000 – not including food or, the actual purchase or adoption cost of the animal.
Depending on the lifestyle of the pet owner(s), it is often a better choice to obtain an adult animal that has already had all of its vaccinations and has already been spayed or neutered.
Adult pets often have already had some type of command training – saving the cost of obedience classes and are easier to care for as they are past the litter and house-training stage. For dog owners, this often saves the cost of having someone come to the house while they are away to let the puppy out for bathroom breaks, or leaving it at a day care facility.
Adoption fees are much less on adult pets, and often dogs and cats can be gotten for a small fee from owners who can no longer offer the pet the home it needs.
On the flip side, one must thoroughly research the adult pet they are considering. Has it had all of its' proper vaccinations? Does it have medical issues that require a temporary or long-term investment? Is it on a special, higher-priced diet? Is there any way of finding out who the original breeder was if it is a purebred animal? or anyone who has one if its' littermates? (this is often an excellent way do discover unknown genetic issues that may develop in the pet down the road)
Pets are a lifetime commitment – averaging from 10 to 18 years of financial obligation depending on the pet and its age when acquired. One must take into consideration the everyday costs that will be associated with their pet.. The larger the animal – the higher almost every cost will be(food, medications, surgeries, pet sitting, etc)
.A little extra thought and planning when choosing a new pet can go a long way to ensuring that it will be a joyful, and affordable experience.

I am absolutely obsessed with the new graphics in Windows 8 RTM since laying my impatient lil' eyes on them! I even went so far as hunting down the Space Needle lock screen image (shown above) and making it my Windows Phone lock screen. The 1800 Pocket PC Team has an even more brilliant idea to use the gorgeous Windows 8 RTM wallpapers on the Windows Phone. Yanko Andreev reworked 23 of the 69 new options, specially fitting them WVGA display on Windows Phone. I have already tried 4 of them!! J Yanko posted a zip file with all 23, but some people only want a few wallpapers and they want to get it right the first time they load them to their Windows Phone. Here's how:
- Visit 1800 PocketPC
- Find the beautiful new lock screen you want
- Long Press on the image
- Save Picture5. Repeat to save as many as you like!

IRVINE — The 21 points were easily a career high for UC Irvine junior Anete Klintsone. The six ice bags she wrapped around various parts of her legs after the Anteaters' 77-75 overtime win over Big West Conference women's basketball visitor Pacific on Thursday night figure to also be her personal best.
For the first time since Dec. 11, UCI's best was good enough to win, as the hosts (5-10, 1-2 in conference) snapped a five-game losing streak and also ended a three-game winning streak for the Tigers (7-6, 1-1).
Klintsone, getting just her fourth start in 15 games, was a catalyst on both ends. The 5-foot-7 native of Latvia made nine of 15 field-goal attempts, many while spinning and leaning under taller defenders, to help UCI post its first Big West win.

BOYLE HEIGHTS — Police said that a 27-year-old man who sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl that he had met and befriended at East Los Angeles College might have attacked other victims.
Joao Affonso has been charged with three counts of sexual assault that took place in Boyle Heights where he lived. Affonso is free on $200,000 bail after having been arrested last month.
Police today said that Affonso and the victim were both students at the East L.A. College, where they met at the college cafeteria. Affonso and the juvenile studied together in empty classrooms and went out for coffee before the assault took place.
Officials said they are aware of at least one more potential juvenile victim but that investigation is ongoing. Police fear there might be other victims who have also not come forward.
"Unfortunately these girls felt comfortable enough with this individual," said Ruby Flores, commanding officer of the LAPD Hollenbeck Division, during an afternoon news conference. "He befriended them and then took advantage of them and eventually sexually assaulted them."
Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD Hollenbeck Division at (323)342-8900.

Is this necessary?Created by:
Picture says a thosand words. When I saw this picture ,words came to me in a flash. " Duterte", " Vigilantes", " Really a drug pusher?", " Justifiable?, "Poignant". In the endevour to eliminate the drug problem, Duterte has encourage vigilantes and police to kill drug pusher. However as we cheer the number of drug pushers killed daily, Did we lose the very essence of humanity? Beside seeing the person as a potential drug pusher did we see him as a " lovely husband to someone", " A responsible father to a child"and " A loving son of a mother" . While is is arguable this man is a drug pusher who destroy lives of others by selling them drugs, he is probably a very small player while the real kingpin is at large. He may well be a drug pusher driven by circumstances and social problem. Should Duterte not just target the kingpins and leave the drug pusher to rehabilitate? His plan in Davos may work but now we are talking about an entire country and population.

Efeitos periféricos e centrais decorrentes da exposição à cocaína e testosterona em ratos adolescentes e adultos
Engi, Sheila Antonagi
MetadataMostrar registro completo
Drug abuse is considered a major public health problem in the world. The use of cocaine and anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) has increased in Brazil. Epidemiological studies indicate that adolescents are more vulnerable than adults to progress from the occasional use of drugs to dependence and that teenagers have a higher incidence of cocaine and testosterone abuse. There is evidence that testosterone can modify the acute effects of cocaine and increase dopaminergic transmission that could lead to behavioral cross-sensitization. Studies have shown that the use of cocaine or ASS promotes toxicity to the heart and liver. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate: 1) whether the prior administration of AAS could cause cross-sensitization with cocaine and thereby increase the vulnerability to abuse and dependence to this psychostimulant, 2) the cardiovascular effects resulted from chronic use of these substances combined and 3) the toxic effects resulted from chronic use of these substances combined. In this way, our results showed that chronic administration of testosterone caused cross-sensitization to cocaine in adolescent, but not in adult rats. And that the combined chronic administration of testosterone and cocaine caused increased MAP, SAP and DAP in adult, but not in adolescent rats. Furthermore, our results showed that the chronic testosterone and cocaine administration caused no damages to liver cellules but caused severe damages to heart tissue in adolescent and adult rats.

KS1 Library Visits
As part of their Autumn topic 'London's Burning', Years 1 and 2 visited Golborne Library to look at all the resources on offer.
The children heard a story about the fire, before colouring in some pictures of Pudding Lane and adding flames made from tissue paper. The trip combined literacy, history, arts and crafts and was very informative!
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Thanks to everyone who came along to our Macmillan coffee morning in September and helped to raise lots of cash for the cancer charity. The children and staff donated cakes and we also held a cake sale at the end of school. Year 2, the Always Award winners, helped parents to choose which yummy cakes to eat. We raised over £210 for Macmillan, which is amazing!
Great Fire of London Projects
Over October half term, the children in Key Stage 1 were asked to complete a project at home: build the Great Fire Of London! They used everything from cardboard boxes to Lego to make fantastic scenes and informative displays.
We looked at all the models together in the hall, then the display was moved to Golborne Library. We walked to the library to see the display and many children and parents took the chance to sign up for a library card: meaning more of our children will have access to the fantastic range of services on offer there!
If you are quick, you can still catch the display. It really looks impressive and we are so proud of our children's hard work!
Condover Hall
In the Summer Term children from Y5 and Y6 visited Condover Hall, which is a residential activity centre. We took part in lots of activities over three days including: archery, laser quest and abseiling. Here we have posted some of our photos, so that you can see some of the things we got up to.
Viking Invasion!
In the Spring term, Years 3, 4/3 and 4 learnt all about Vikings and Saxons and were visited by Njal Thorfinnson, from the Viking era, who invaded the school and tried to set up a settlement in the school hall!
The children pretended to be Vikings and chopped their own wood to make long boats, which they sailed across the water to invade a small town where the monks lived.
The children and teachers learnt a lot about the Viking era and had a fantastic day!
Blackpool Trip
In the Summer Term Y1, Y2/1 and Y2 visited Blackpool, where they ate lunch on the beach, watched the circus and climbed up Blackpool Tower. Have a look at the photographs of their fantastic trip.
Mountain Monkeys
In the Summer Term, LKS2 went to Mountain Monkeys where they took part in outdoor survival skills and activities. Have a look at the photographs of this amazing experience.
Children in Need 2015
To raise money for Children In Need, our pupils and staff dressed up as superheroes for the day! We had everyone from Queen Elsa and Iron Man to doctors and nurses. Well done to everyone who made such a great effort, and brought in donations for the very worthy cause. You are all superheroes!

Once a popular beach destination, Tunisia fell out of favour following horrific terrorist attacks in 2015. But last year, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office reported it was confident safety had resumed, giving the green light for tourists to return.
Today, Thomas Cook launch their first flights back into the North African country, with three weekly departures to Enfidha from Manchester, London Gatwick and Birmingham. The programme will expand to include Glasgow from April and Newcastle and London Stansted from May.
The company report their first three departures quickly sold out after going on sale, demonstrating the British public is eager to return to Tunisia. Take a look at these images of glorious beaches, intriguing Roman ruins and striking scenery – and you can see why.
The Baths of Antonine at Carthage, near Tunis, were one of the three largest thermae in the Roman Empire. They form part of a larger Unesco World Heritage site.
Located on a clifftop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the town of Sidi Bou Said stuns tourists with its blue and white architecture.
Part of the impressive Sahara desert, Chebika is a mountain oasis in western Tunisia. Scenes from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope were shot in this area.
A popular resort town, Sousse suffered following a terrorist attack in 2015, but peace has resumed, and businesses are eager to welcome back visitors.
Hammamet is one of several resort towns featuring in the new Thomas Cook holiday programme. Filled with citrus tree and olive groves, it's often known as the garden resort.

It's the opening game of the season. The receiver for the home team takes the kickoff in the end zone and fearlessly charges up field.
The standing crowd claps and cheers as the under-sized scat-back flattens three defenders on his way to the fifteen-yard line. Spectators continue to roar.
Why? The youngster made a bad decision that cost the team five yards. If the receiver had downed the ball in the end zone, his team would have begun play on the twenty-yard line.
The crowd cheered because the youngster gave a heck of an effort, even though the result was less than desired. Fans and coaches know that fan approval motivates the team to continue striving during broken plays, fumbles and interceptions.
During the game, players (and coaches) make many mistakes; but fans seldom boo their home team. (By contrast, referees make very few mistakes and fans frequently yell bad words at the refs.)
Some days stuff happens. When stress and blood pressure rises, it is tempting for leaders to show their displeasure ("boo") to employees. But this may be just the time that a loud cheer for "effort" is more beneficial.

Saban Slashes Into 'Lizzie' Borden Drama Out of Sundance
In a competitive situation, Saban Films has nabbed North American rights to Craig William Macneill's Lizzie, starring Academy Award Nominee Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry) as the renowned accused murderess Lizzie Borden and Kristen Stewart (The Twilight Saga), Bloody Disgusting learned.
Fred Topel reviewed the racy period drama, which just made its World Premiere In-Competition at the Sundance Film Festival, explaining that this take on the Lizzie Borden murders "posits a sympathetic motive to Borden's axe murders."
Written by Bryce Kass and based on the unsolved, much-speculated-about murders of the Borden parents, "Lizzie explores the inner workings of the Borden household leading up to the murders and their immediate aftermath and reveals many layers of the strange, fragile woman who stood accused of the brutal crime. As an unmarried woman of 32, Lizzie (Sevigny) is a social outcast trapped under her father's austere and domineering control. When Bridget Sullivan (Stewart), a young maid desperate for work, comes to live with the family, Lizzie finds a sympathetic, kindred spirit, and a chance intimacy that blossoms into a wicked plan, and a dark, unsettling end."
The film is rounded out by a star-studded cast including Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, "Fear the Walking Dead"), Denis O'Hare (Dallas Buyers Club, "American Horror Story"), Jeff Perry ("Scandal"), Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter), and Jamey Sheridan (Spotlight, "Homeland").
Saban Films is planning a theatrical release in partnership with Roadside Attractions this summer.
It was produced by Sevigny, Naomi Despres and Liz Destro. The film was executive produced by Elizabeth Stillwell, Roxanne Fie Anderson, and Edward J. Anderson of Powder Hound Pictures.

In the mixer tool, I can adjust gain/pans over a selection of tracks and in/out points.
I almost never use the mixer tool because of the wonderful "show gain" mode in the timeline. So it would be super helpful if there was someway to access the "adjust in/out" commands from the mixer while still in the timeline.
Bonsu if I can select clips with the segment tool also and adjust only the segments I've highlighted.
