RW Jayce Hawryluk - Brandon Wheat Kings, WHL (2014, 32nd, FLA)
This kid is pretty fantastic. Have had the chance to watch Brandon about 5 times this year and he's consistently impressing me. Last night in a 7-5 loss to the Blades, he was the best player on the ice. Works so hard, is all over the puck and has dynamite hands. Had 4 points in the loss and now has 9 goals and 23 points in 29 games on a very underwhelming team.
He's not the biggest guy, but he still plays gritty and physical.
He's a guy to watch for the 2014 NHL Draft as he could climb his way into top 60 discussion very easily, especially if it's not a terribly deep draft.
I don't know much about the 2014 class at this time, but if he isn't a top 2 rounder at this point, it's gotta be a good class.
Watched him play in Swift Current. Other than Bertaggia, he is the best player on the Wheat Kings. I remember watching him play in bantam, this kid just excels at each tougher level he gets to. He already went from a crappy league in Manitoba to AAA MB hockey. Then from the worst team in MB AAA to one of the worst in the WHL. And he has adjusted so quickly at each level it's amazing. Currently the top scoring 16 year old in the WHL.
Who would've known?
I've seen the Wheat Kings only twice so far, how does he compare to Brayden Point?
Compared to Point, Point plays a more cerebal game like Sakic or RNH, he's crafty. Hawryluk utilizes speed and is more physical. Should be a lot of fun watching these 2 go H2H the next few years.
I called Hawryluk as my darkhorse for the 2014 first round on the thread named that, and I stand by my call!
He just scored a 2nd straight hat-trick. 8 points in two games. Could be a riser.
Named WHL player of the week.
At times I think his skating is awful. But he is definitely hard nosed and is currently displaying a score at will ability - an intriguing sniper. His D is underwhelming just because he is slow to get there.
Very confusing prospect to me. Wasn't having the best year until these last few games. Has something clicked or is it circumstantial?
He was sat for the last 2 periods against Seattle for some lacksadasial defensive play, then not dressed against Portland, learning a lesson, and has responded with 2 back to back hat tricks.
He should be picked late 1st round through the 2nd round. Incidentally, he's a heck of a ball player as well.
Hawryluks quote from the Brandon Sun
"Hawryluk was named the Western Hockey Leagues player of the week, while Pulock was picked to play for Team WHL in this months Subway Super Series versus Team Russia.
Hawryluk had quite the eventful week, going from head coach Kelly McCrimmons dog house as a healthy scratch to the top performer in the league, all in a span of a few days. Hawryluk, a 17-year-old forward from Roblin, was sat out in Wednesdays 5-2 loss to the league-leading Portland Winterhawks, but bounced back with back-to-back hat tricks to lead the Wheat Kings to a 6-3 victory over the Everett Silvertips on Friday night and a 6-2 triumph over the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon to wrap up a tough six-game West Coast road trip with a 2-4 record.
"It was a lot of ups and downs and we werent doing so well, we werent winning and after being sat for a game for just not doing what I can do out there and not playing the game the right way, I really keyed into the little things and the right things out there," said Hawryluk, who had six goals, eight points and a +4 plus/minus rating in three games. "And I think we really realized we needed to get a couple of wins on the road and we all beared down and we all worked hard and stuck to the systems and got the two wins at the end."
Hawryluk leads the Wheat Kings in scoring with nine goals and 19 points in 17 games, but is quick to credit his new linemates, centre John Quenneville and left-winger Jack Palmer.
"I was really working hard and playing alongside John Quenneville and Jack Palmer. They are great linemates and I couldnt have done it without them and they were great out there as well," Hawryluk said. "They were working hard and their compete level was high and I think we just worked hard for our opportunities to score and when we had the chances, we put the puck in the net."
2014 prospect Jayce Hawryluk collapses following playoff hat trick
Brandon Wheat Kings forward Jayce Hawryluk has collapsed after complaining of chest pains following the third game of Brandon's playoff series with the Regina Pats.
Hawryluk had scored a hat-trick, including the game winner, in the game, which the Wheat Kings won 5-4. Earlier this month, he was named the CHL Player of the Week for the week after scoring six goals and four assists for 10 points in three games.
Phil Andrews, the Play by Play voice for the Pats, tweeted that there were reports that Hawryluk was alert and talking shortly after the incident took place.
promising young player! wish him the best.
That's terrible. Hopefully he doesn't have one of those freak heart conditions.
Wheat Kings' Hawryluk Taken to Hospital:
Ouch I hope he gets better. Though it's probably the last thing on his mind, one has to wonder how this will affect his draft stock.
Heard it may have been a case of severe dehydration. Lets hope so!
Hawryluk is expected to play tonight
Good to know the kid is alright.
I've over heard some people say at the game tonight that it might of had something to do with having 2 red bull before the game?
Just some rumbling, but that could cause something like this to happen couldn't it?
Awesome to see him in the line up, he's one heck of a player.

Celebrate Brooklyn! kicks off with Janelle Monáe
The Prospect Park concert series gets started with a bang and a shuffle on June 4—and it's free!
Photograph: Gary Gershoff/Getty Images for Target
Summer sure seems a long way off, but there is a ray of sunlight down the long corridor of winter darkness: BRIC Arts' Celebrate Brooklyn! has announced that its opening show will be a gratis concert from Janelle Monáe. The five-foot-nothing R&B powerhouse will take the stage at Prospect Park Bandshell on June 4 at 8pm. We'd tell you to spread out on the grass (remember grass?), but odds are you'll more likely be jumping and shouting along to can't-keep-your-hips-still hits like "Dance Apocalyptic" and "Q.U.E.E.N." off 2013's critically acclaimed The Electric Lady.
Admission is free (with a $3 suggested donation), but be prepared to wait in line. And if you can't wait until summer, VH1 recently announced that Monáe will be performing at Lehman College in the Bronx as part of its Super Bowl Blitz concert series.

Rainer Schmueckle has joined Advent International, a global financial investment firm, as an operating officer. After 26 years, in June 2010, Schmueckle lost his position at Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz car unit to Wolfgang Bernhard.
Bernhard, who rejoined Daimler in 2009 after a four-year absence, was tasked to oversee Mercedes' procurement and production in February, replacing Schmeuckle, who was Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche's No. 2 before the management reorganization.
Schmueckle was known for his ability to revive ailing subsidiaries of the corporation. A successful turnaround that Schmueckle had been at the center of was at Daimler's U.S. heavy-trucks unit, Freightliner. Before Daimler sold its former U.S. unit, Bernhard was Zietsche's right-hand man at Chrysler.
Bernhard was to become head of Mercedes cars in 2004 before union opposition to his appointment and disagreements with then-CEO Juergen Schrempp led to his demotion and eventual departure from the Company.
Meanwhile, Schmueckle will identify investment opportunities and advise Advent's customers on strategic and operational development. Advent controls $26 billion in client funds.

An Ideal Trial?
Supreme Night Court reconvened Monday night, featuring three real justices, two almost justices, and a case ripped from the the prescient pen of Oscar Wilde.
As The Wall Street Journal reported in a Page One story last month, many justices like to spend their time off pretending to do their day jobs by putting fictitious or historical characters on trial. Monday's Shakespeare Theatre Company event recast Mr. Wilde's "An Ideal Husband" from Victorian London to present-day Washington, where Laura Cheveley had sought a lawmaker's support for a proposed tunnel between New York and New Jersey in exchange for keeping quiet about his corrupt past.
The senior justice present, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, presided over a panel including fellow Justices Samuel Alito and Sonia Sotomayor and two federal appeals judges who almost made the cut—Reagan nominee Douglas Ginsburg, who withdrew from consideration in 1987 after disclosures about his earlier marijuana use, and Merrick Garland, who President Barack Obama considered for the seat that ultimately went to Elena Kagan. Two other judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, David Tatel and Brett Kavanaugh, rounded out the panel…

New £1 coin will cost firms thousands
By Jackie Turley in Business
We are keeping the round pound coin.
But it's all change for vending machines and pay and display parking machines that need to be adapted to accept the new 12-sided £1 coin being introduced in the UK next month.
The cost to one family business alone, MannVend, has been estimated at £22,000.
Treasury announced this week that the Isle of Man will not be following suit at this stage in introducing a 12-sided one pound coin and phasing out the round version.
The Manx round pound will continue to be legal tender here, alongside the new and old UK pound coins.
A Treasury spokesman told the Manx Independent: 'The Isle of Man has its own currency and has decided that for the time being, it is content to retain the round £1 coin.'
He said Treasury would continue to monitor the situation and consider the introduction of a 12-sided Manx pound coin in the future.
For MannVend, the introduction of the new coin means having to convert about 200 vending machines around the island, along with their coin counting machine, at a cost of about £22,000.
The company's managing director, Tracey Leahy, welcomed the introduction of the 12-sided £1 coin but she added: 'For us as a business, from a practical perspective, converting the coin mechanisms is a costly and timely exercise.
'All of our cash taking machines have to be configured to accept three versions of the £1 coin now.
'The new 12 sided version, the old round version and the Manx round version.
'The machines are all over the island so visiting them to carry out the upgrade is timely but all have been scheduled to be completed by the end of March.
'We are also offering this upgrade service to other people with their own machine.
'We estimate the new coins will be in full circulation by June 2017 after the influx of TT visitors.'
Douglas Council operates four pay and display car parks in the borough: Shaw's Brow, the Bottleneck, Chester Street and Drumgold Street (Marks and Spencer).
Council leader David Christian said the first they heard about the island's position was Treasury's announcement to the press this week.
He said: 'Our director of regeneration and environment has confirmed that the machines will be programmed to accept both Manx and UK legal tender.
'I will be seeking assurances that this is done prior to coins going into circulation.'
He said it involved a UK company altering the chip and then it being fitted by the council's trained staff.
The last time the machines had to be updated was to accept the plastic £5 note.
In the UK the new 12-sided coin is being introduced on March 28.
From October, the round pound will no longer be accepted in shops in the UK, but it will still be able to be exchanged by banks.
The Royal Mint says the £1 coin is being replaced for the first time in more than 30 years because of its 'vulnerability to sophisticated counterfeiters'.
It estimates that one in 30 UK £1 coins in circulation is a counterfeit.
The new 12-sided £1 coin is thinner, lighter and slightly larger than the round £1.
Features that make it more difficult to counterfeit include its distinctive shape, bimetallic design, micro-lettering and what the Royal Mint describes as a 'hidden high security feature'.

Is baby-faced Justin Bieber a bomber?
The 16-year-old makes his acting debut on the season opener of CBS's CSI Sept. 23 as troubled Jason McCann, a member of an anti-government family whose foster dad is in jail and whose brother is out for revenge against cops, reports USA TODAY's Gary Levin. Nick Stokes (George Eads) enlists his help.
But, "Is he a good kid stuck in a bad situation or is he a bad kid hiding behind the cutes?" says executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. He'c caught in the middle: "The kid is in some trouble," she says. "When your brother is out looking to kill cops, you're not going anywhere."
Bieber shot four scenes on July 23 but will return early next year to film a second episode, due in February, that completes the story arc. How did he get the gig? He told a CBS executive last spring the show was one of his favorites, just as producers began plotting stories for the upcoming season, and wanted to try acting. "He did a really good job," she says.

NEW YORK Stocks slid Tuesday as downbeat news from JPMorgan Chase and other financial companies raised more concerns about the ongoing impact of the credit crisis on the economy. The Dow Jones industrials fell more than 139 points.
The latest reminder of continuing troubles for banks and brokerages came when JPMorgan said Monday it has incurred wider losses in its mortgage holdings so far in the third quarter than in the second quarter. The nation's second-largest bank by assets said in a regulatory filing it lost $1.5 billion, after hedges, in its mortgage-backed securities and loans this quarter, compared with $1.1 billion in the second three months of 2008.
EARNINGS: JPMorgan loses $1.5B in Q3
The losses were proof to investors that the financial sector's problems don't seem to be near a resolution.
Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs (GS) fell after several analysts lowered their ratings and earnings estimates for the investment bank. And UBS (UBS), Switzerland's largest bank, reported further losses and write-downs of $5.1 billion during the second quarter.
The market's losses were mitigated for part of the session by a drop in the price of oil — an illustration of the ongoing push-and-pull in the market between oil prices and any news about financials. The financial companies' problems had sent the Dow down more than 120 points in early trading Tuesday before the drop in oil lifted the Dow off its lows; the market then gave in to its financial worries as the afternoon wore on.
Oil trading was buffeted by several factors: differing views on whether global demand is falling or rising, and word from BP that it had shut down an oil pipeline that runs through Georgia as a precautionary measure due to the fighting between Georgian and Russian troops. Light, sweet crude settled down $1.44 at $113.01 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil has fallen more than $30 from its July 11 high of $147.27, easing concerns on Wall Street about inflation.
"Some of the big bellwether financial-services companies are precipitating the correction that we're seeing," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors of Tuesday's retreat by stocks. Still, he said the run-up in stocks since oil began falling last month has made occasional retrenchments not unexpected.
At the close of trading, the Dow was down 139.88, or 1.19%, to 11,642.47.
Broader stock indicators were lower. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 15.73, or 1.21%, to 1,289.59, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 9.34, or 0.38%, to 2,430.61.
Bond prices rose as stocks fell. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.93% from 4.00% late Monday.
The dollar was higher against most other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
A Commerce Department report showed the nation's trade deficit shrank in June, rather than growing as expected. The trade imbalance dropped 4.1% to $56.8 billion in June from a revised May deficit of $59.2 billion, as exports rose to an all-time high. It was the smallest deficit in three months and was better than the $61.5 billion Wall Street expected.
Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research, said that any good news of the day was simply overshadowed by the latest concerns about the financial services sector.
"The financial worries have just crept back in," Detrick said. "But, given the rally we had last week, we're still holding on if you look at the big picture. We were due for some kind of a break."
The Dow had gained 350 points over the previous two sessions.
JPMorgan fell $3.22, or 7.7%, to $38.65. Despite its slide Tuesday, some investors likely saw its losses as relatively small compared with the more than $300 billion that financial institutions have written down over all in the past year.
Goldman Sachs declined $9.52, or 5.4%, to $168.44 after the downgrades in some of its analyst ratings.
Wachovia (WB) fell $1.84, or 10.1%, to $16.36 after it announced plans to cut 600 more jobs than it previously expected as it tries to slash costs because of losses on mortgage debt. The bank also said in a quarterly regulatory filing that it has recorded an additional $500 million in legal reserves related to its settlement discussions with regulators concerning the sale of auction-rate securities.
UBS fell $1.26, or 5.8%, to $20.43. The company also said Tuesday it will separate its divisions such as its private bank and its investment bank to bolster investor confidence.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 2 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 662.5 million shares.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 3.98, or 0.53%, to 747.08.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average fell 0.95%. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.13%, Germany's DAX index declined 0.36% and France's CAC-40 fell 0.44%.

In March 1983, Louisville Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly became aware that a local pastor had sexually molested a 15-year-old boy but allowed the Rev. Thomas Creagh to continue leading St. Albert the Great parish.
Two memos written for his own file, and initialed or signed by Kelly on March 9 and June 14 in 1983, show that the archbishop was fearful of church scandal and worked to keep the incident from becoming public.
More than 200 people have suits pending against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville alleging decades of sexual abuse by 34 priests, teachers and others associated with the church. Whether their cases proceed depends in part on their lawyers' argument that the state's statute of limitations should not apply because the archdiocese covered up the sexual abuse.
The memos show for the first time that the head of the archdiocese knew of an episode of child sexual abuse but allowed the abuser continued unrestricted access to children.
Kelly oversaw a confidential settlement in 1983 in which the archdiocese and Creagh agreed to pay the family of Gregory C. Hall $20,000.
Creagh is accused in lawsuits of sexually molesting Hall and three other boys between 1974 and 1983. One allegation accuses Creagh of abusing one of the boys at St. Albert after he was allowed to continue there by Kelly.
Creagh resigned last May as pastor of Holy Family Church after being accused of abuse in a lawsuit filed by Hall, of Louisville.
Hall alleges that on March 6, 1983, Creagh offered to give the boy a massage to relieve a sports injury. Hall alleged that Creagh masturbated him. Hall did not return phone calls seeking comment last night.
Kelly permanently barred Creagh from ministry in July 2002 enforcing a tougher policy adopted by U.S. Catholic bishops and effectively confirming he believed that Creagh had molested at least one child.
Kelly was unavailable for comment last night, according to Brian Reynolds, chancellor and chief administrative officer for the archdiocese. Creagh also could not be reached for comment.
Reynolds said yesterday that there is little new in the memos, which are among the thousands of documents officials provided last month to lawyers suing the church over alleged sexual abuse.
"For many people in church leadership, the issue was to avoid scandal so as not only to avoid embarrassment but to avoid hurting the faith," Reynolds said. "Far more effort should have been placed on responding to victims and preventing abuse, and particularly repeated abuse by priests, because in the long run greater scandal has occurred."
Some alleged victims and one advocacy group said yesterday that they would begin a petition drive seeking Kelly's resignation based on the new information.
The memos show Kelly was concerned about avoiding scandal over the incident and preventing further revelations of abuse, which could bring "more cases."
Kelly said in the March 9 memo that Creagh was performing an "excellent pastoral ministry" at St. Albert. Kelly wrote that Hall's parents could "destroy his ministry and harm the parish greatly if they make public accusations."
Kelly also said in the June 14 memo that he sought the advice of officials from another archdiocese who advised that a priest accused of an "overtly sexual" incident "should be removed from his assignment and sent out of the diocese."
But Kelly concluded the memo by saying that he was keeping Creagh in the parish and that there has not "been any s(c)andal so far."
William McMurry, the lawyer representing Hall and about 200 other plaintiffs suing the archdiocese over alleged sexual abuse, said the memos are evidence of a cover-up and placing "the rights of sexual predators above the health and welfare of the children of the church."
McMurry provided copies of the memos to The Courier-Journal. The newspaper also obtained Creagh's personnel file through a records request to Louisville police after they investigated Hall's allegation last year.
Police declined to seek prosecution last year, saying that even if Hall's allegation were true, it would amount to a misdemeanor, which is beyond the statute of limitations for prosecution.
Reynolds cautioned against comparing Creagh's case to that of a known repeat offender. "It was perceived to be a single incident that was properly addressed," he said.
Reynolds noted that the archdiocese has never denied that on some occasions it kept priests in ministry after they sexually abused children.

He said that depending on the situation, such priests were sometimes barred permanently, sometimes placed on restricted ministry and sometimes returned to full parish ministry.
Reynolds acknowledged the archdiocese did not report the sexual abuse in the Hall case to police. All Kentucky citizens have been required by law since 1964 to report suspicions of child abuse.
But he noted that the attorney who negotiated the settlement for the Halls, Bruce Miller, was Jefferson County attorney at the time and was responsible for prosecuting misdemeanors.
Miller said last night that he believed that as county attorney he had been notified of the alleged incident. He said he told Hall's parents they had the option to bring criminal charges but that they declined out of concern for the possible impact publicity might have on their son.
Reynolds said that "since the authorities were fully aware, because the county attorney was there, there was no need for the archdiocese to take further action."
Reynolds added that in 1986, Creagh received a psychological evaluation by a Catholic therapeutic center in Florida known as the House of Affirmation and was deemed to be fit for ministry.
A copy of that evaluation, obtained by The Courier-Journal, confirms the positive evaluation but it also makes no mention of sexuality or ventures any opinion about whether Creagh posed a risk of sexual misconduct.
The release of Kelly's memos has prompted a group advocating for victims of sexual abuse, The Linkup, to schedule a news conference at archdiocesan headquarters today to launch a petition drive calling for Kelly's resignation.
Susan Archibald, president of The Linkup, said the memos indicate "Archbishop Kelly played an active role in covering up abuses in the diocese."
Reynolds said Kelly would remain on the job to lead the church through difficult days.
"Kelly has taken several steps to respond to the crisis, including appointing a new review board of priests and lay people to investigate abuse cases," Reynolds said.
"Nowadays it would be done differently, no question about that," Reynolds said of the Creagh case. "I do not agree with the assessment that nothing was done to address the situation at the time. Father Creagh was not removed and nowadays he would be."
Kelly became archbishop of Louisville in 1982. The issue of clergy sexual abuse, though known to church officials for decades, did not become nationally known until 1985, when a Louisiana case became the first of several spectacular cases to be reported.
The archdiocese adopted its first policy on sexual abuse in 1993. It allowed some abusers to stay in ministry under certain conditions. That policy was superseded by last year's decision of Catholic bishops nationwide to bar all abusers from ministry for life.
In the March 9 memo, Kelly said that Creagh had met with him. The memo said Creagh had sexually abused Hall.
Hall reported the incident to his parents, who reported it to Hall's principal at Trinity High School.
"I told Father Creagh that I had to view this incident in what I regard is an excellent pastoral ministry at St. Albert's, and that it would not be my indication to remove him from office there," Kelly wrote.
"The parents could, of course, destroy his ministry and harm the parish greatly if they make public accusations. In that case, Tom would have to go."
In a memo written June 14, 1983, Kelly said that while "Father Creagh did not express remorse over the incident, he was clearly embarrassed at having to confess the incident."
Kelly wrote that the Halls, their attorney, Miller, and his wife, Norma Miller, also an attorney, came to the archdiocesan offices on March 18 and "demanded $150,000 in damages, the removal of Father Creagh from his parish, and absolute assurance that such an incident would not occur again in the archdiocese.
"I found the demands extortionary, and the attitudes hostile and vindictive," Kelly wrote.
In his June 14 memo, Kelly wrote that he visited with officials from another archdiocese, who made several points, including that a priest involved in a sexual incident should be removed.
Kelly said he was advised that it was appropriate to offer the victim money for medical expenses but "if the incident gets any publicity, it is likely that more cases will follow."
Kelly noted that the archdiocese and Creagh reached an agreement to each pay the Halls $10,000. "Father Creagh never had to be absent from the parish, nor has there been any s(c)andal so far," Kelly wrote.
Creagh is accused of sexual abuse in four of the lawsuits against the archdiocese. One of the plaintiffs alleged abuse in 1974; another in 1980. A third, Michael Sheehan, says Creagh molested him in December 1983 — several months after the alleged incident with Hall. Sheehan could not be reached for comment last night.
"If Father Creagh went on and abused others after this event, then certainly Father Creagh should never have been left at St. Albert's," Reynolds acknowledged. "That's the greatest tragedy of all."

Staying at Padma Hotel in Leh was a fantastic experience. It was indeed experiencing \'home away from home\'. With an excellent host in Mr. Jor (Manager), and his team of ever-smiling and willing-to-help staff, this hotel exuded excellence in customer care and satisfaction.

"Padma Guest House & Hotel\'s USP is that it\'s run..."
Padma Guest House & Hotel\'s USP is that it\'s run by a local Ladakhi buddhist family and that it\'s situated in Leh. The house-keeping is miserable & the service in the restaurant is slow. But I think that\'s the way most places in Leh are. Padma\'s proximity to the market is another advantage cause then it gives you a lot of options of various cuisines. The hotel can be average cause you would forget it anyways mesmerised with the awesomeness Ladakh has to offer to you.

Death toll from two bomb blasts in the Syrian city of Homs reaches 46
The death toll from two bomb blasts in the Syrian city of Homs today has reached 46, including at least 28 civilians, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Observatory said the attacks, which hit the city's central Zahra district, were among the biggest blasts to hit a government-held area in Homs in the five-year-old civil war.
The governor of Homs was quoted by Syrian state television as saying the death toll was 25 people.
State TV initially said 14 people had been killed.
Pro-Damascus channel al-Ikhbariya showed footage of damaged shop fronts, debris littering the streets, wounded people and charred or burning cars.
A bomb attack claimed by the self-styled Islamic State militant group last month in Homs in the west of the country killed at least 24 people, the city's governor said at the time, as government forces took back some IS-held villages in Aleppo province in the north.
Today's attacks also came a day after government advances against IS. There was no immediate claim from the group, however.
Another bomb attack in December, which killed 32 people, took place following a ceasefire deal that paved the way for the government to take over the last rebel-controlled area of the city, which was a centre of the 2011 uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.

Paarl is the largest town in the Drakenstein Municipality, Western Cape. The area also includes that also encompasses Wellington, Gouda and Saron. The town is situated at the foot of the Paarl Mountain, 60kms outside Cape Town, and is cut through by the Berg River. Vineyards, orchards, and wheat lands surround the area. In recent years the population has grown, businesses have expanded, expand, the population grows, and along with a concomitant growth in it the residential areas.
Previously, Paarl purchased 95% of its clean water from the City of Cape Town, which is sourced from the Wemmershoek Dam. Almost entirely dependent on this single water supply, but this proved to be is very expensive. and they were. Paarl did have its own water supply scheme in place – which consisted of two bulk dams that captured natural run-off water from the Paarl Mountain – however no water treatment facilities existed, meaning that the water was unsafe for residents to drink. This natural water supply from Paarl Mountain had been supplying residents and farmers since early settlement days. The Meulwater Water Treatment Works program tackled the issue of taking local water supplies and finding a way to treat with a cost-effective and efficacious programme.
In May 2012, the Drakenstein Municipality commissioned the construction of an 8Ml/day water treatment works on Paarl Mountain. The plant's facilities include process units, laboratory facilities, chemical dosing and machine room, a raw water pipeline, a treated water pipeline, a pipeline to convey residual solids down the mountain, a sewage system, landscaping, roadwork's, and ancillary work.
This treatment plant is notable for a variety of various ingenious methods and unique features. One of the more rarer practices found here is the direct filtration process that allows the plant's environmental footprint to be minimised. The reduced footprint is an important factor, taking that takes into account that fact that the facility is built on the border of the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve. The environmentally friendly design has also led to substantial savings in initial capital cost.
This innovative cost-saving mindset was extended to the issue of water losses, which is the amount of treated water that does not reach the customer. In 1999, within the Drakenstein Municipality, 34% was mislaid in water losses. An action plan was created to reduce this level within the municipality through several administrative tasks. This plan utilized pressure management to reduce losses on leaks during certain times of the day, expanded metering to all un-metered water connections, placed an emphasis on detecting and quickly repairing leaks, and a led public awareness campaign on ways to reduce losses in water supplies. This coordinated action plan reduced the water losses to 12.1% in 2013, which is substantially lower than the national average of 36.2%
One of the most important aspects of the design at Meulwater is the design of the system for cleaning the filter. This feature is especially important for the deep-bed direct filtration plant, ensuring that the entire depth of the bed is cleaned with minimal loss of water. Other notable design firsts for a South African water treatment plant are enhanced dosing controls mechanisms, 'green' roofs, an operator-friendly layout, and environmentally sensitive aesthetics which allow the plant to further blend into the environment around it.
Estimates from the municipality show that the treatment costs at the plant are at R2.11/kl, which is significantly lower than the R3.42/kl that the City of Cape Town charges the municipality for the sale of water. This new water supply is able to treat between 1650Ml and 2900Ml annually, providing 15%-26% of Paarl's water. Due to these drastic successes and innovative designs, this plant has received numerous accolades and awards like the Institute for Mechanical Engineering South Africa (IMESA) environmental award; it also was a finalist in the technical excellence category in Civil Engineering magazine. Meulwater Treatment Works is conceivably the most technologically advanced, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly small-scale water treatment process in South Africa.

Dear Newsmax Reader:
Warning: If you wash your hair at least once a day, there's a 83% chance you might shampoo your hair off!
Be extremely cautious when shopping for discounted shampoos. Inexpensive shampoos tend to be poorly manufactured and produce large amounts of foam that can trigger instant hair-loss without you knowing it.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is the harmful ingredient that deforms the hair-root.
It thins the hair and can cause hair strands to immediately fall when greeted with force, such when you scrub your head during your typical shower.
But thankfully, university researchers have been working on a hair-restoration method that will set the hair-loss industry on fire. Not only will this breakthrough overcome the harmful shampoos' ingredients, but it will work to benefit anyone suffering from premature hair-loss, hair-thinning or those who simply want to regrow a new set of hair.
Discover the breakthrough techniques for hair-restoration here.
If you want to keep a full head of hair, then you must check for the well-known hair-killing ingredients.
Would you have thought that when religiously scrubbing your hair clean, you were actually rubbing off your hair? It's not your fault.
Over 24,350 people in the U.S. have switched to the methods in this video and have reported noticeable results within days.
Watch the short video here
But you must hurry! This video has gone viral, which means big shot companies like Rogaine and Bosley will now fight tooth and nail to get it taken down.
They cannot afford to have the secret to hair-loss reversal leaked on the web because it will cost them millions of dollars.
So watch this short video now while it's still up and free of charge!

"I've already told you, Ron!" screamed a sobbing Hermione at one of her best friends as she ascended the staircase that leads to the sixth year girls' dormitory.
"I just don't understand why!" Ron yelled at her retreating back.
Hermione whirled around, facing Ron, her face all red and blotchy. She took three deep breaths before responding. "I am only going to tell you this one more time, Ron," she said calmly. "You are my friend. My friend only. I do not and cannot think of you in the same way that you think of me. I'm sorry, but I just cannot." She then slowly turned back and entered the dormitory, closing the door quietly behind her.
Ron sighed and walked up his own staircase to his own dormitory. Harry was sitting in his bed, reading Quidditch Through the Ages. When he saw Ron enter the room, Harry put the book down and watched him. "How did it go, mate?" he asked softly.
Ron grunted in reply. He then flopped onto his bed and closed the curtains, not saying one articulate word. Harry sighed and decided to go to bed as well. Unfortunately, he could not fall asleep for a long while. And when he did sleep, he dreamt of the same thing that had been keeping him awake: A certain brown-eyed, bushy brown haired best friend of his. Hermione. Lately, all of his thoughts had centered on her. Harry knew that Ron liked her, but he could not help thinking about her. He tossed and turned all night, dreaming that Hermione was running away with Ron, and he would never see her again.
Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory, Hermione, also, had trouble sleeping. Her many thoughts were all vying for attention. Most of them revolved around her two best friends.
What is wrong with me? Hermione asked herself. Why can I not stop thinking about him? We won't ever be together, I know that. This is driving me insane. I can't even sleep, because thoughts of him not only keep me awake, but also haunt me in my dreams. Hermione sighed, frustrated, and, slamming her pillow over her head, she tried once more to fall asleep.
The next morning found Hermione asleep on the common room couch nearest the fire. Harry was the first one awake, and as he descended the stairs, he saw her feet hanging off the end of the couch. He walked over to her, chuckling softly, and covered her with the blanket that had fallen to the floor. She stirred and awoke.
"Hi Harry," she half mumbled.
"Good morning, Hermione," Harry replied, smiling.
"Breakfast?" Hermione inquired.
"Yes. I'll wait if you want," Harry responded.
Hermione nodded and dashed upstairs to straighten her hair and change her clothes. Five minutes later, the two of them walked down to the Great Hall and started in on the delicious buffet that awaited them.
Ron came down a few minutes later, spying the two sitting together.
"Harry?" Ron signaled.
"Yes, Ron?" Harry responded, turning around to the voice of his friend.
"Can you come here for a moment?" Ron's tone of voice seemed strained. Hermione noticed.
Harry got up and walked with Ron outside the doors.
"What are you doing, mate?" Ron asked, after the door was safely shut.
"Eating breakfast?" Harry tried, wondering what was wrong with Ron.
"I mean, what are you doing, eating breakfast with Hermione, alone?" Ron elaborated.
"I saw her in the common room when I went down, and we were both hungry. And you were still asleep," Harry explained.
"So what?" Ron demanded.
"So… we went to have breakfast…" Harry could not figure out what was going on with Ron.
"Harry. You know how much I like Hermione. How could you sneak around with her behind my back?" Ron asked angrily.
"What!" Harry replied. "I am not sneaking around with Hermione. I was simply going to breakfast with her. She is my friend, you know."
"Yeah, sure. Whatever. I suddenly lost my appetite, I think I'll go back to my room and study," Ron muttered, spinning on his heel and heading back towards Gryffindor Tower.
Harry sighed, not sure if he should follow or not. However, his hunger outweighed his confusion, and he headed back to eat.
"Harry?" Hermione questioned, with what appeared to be tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Hermione?" Harry asked hastily.
"I heard everything you two said. I cannot figure out what is wrong with Ron. I have told him thousands of times that I am only his friend, nothing more, but he will not take no for an answer. I've tried everything. I do not want to lose his friendship, but this is getting ridiculous," Hermione said softly, trying not to cry. "I feel so bad. I know how it feels to like someone who doesn't like you back, but I cannot help that I do not feel the same way as he does. I like someone else. It would not be fair to Ron to date him with my mind on another guy."
"So you're saying that the guy you like does not like you back?" Harry asked.
"I'm pretty sure he doesn't. I mean, why would he? I don't even understand why Ron does like me. We are so different. I drive him crazy and he drives me insane," Hermione answered.
"Hermione, you are being too hard on yourself. There are a lot of guys here who would love to take you out. You're smart, funny, caring, loyal, gorgeous—" Harry broke off, afraid he had said too much.
Hermione's face lightened up. "You really think so, Harry?" she asked hopefully.
"Of course I do, Mione. I would never lie to you, you know that," Harry responded.
Hermione then gave Harry a hug. She wasn't sure why, but she did notice that Harry did not pull back right away.
The two of them then got up and headed back to Gryffindor Tower.
"Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Mmm?" Hermione responded.
"Who do you like?"
"Now why should I tell you?" Hermione replied with a smirk.
"Because I'm your best friend, and you love me," Harry said with a sly grin.
Hermione's heart skipped a beat. She did love him; that was the problem. "You're going to have to do better than that, Mr. Potter."
"Can I guess?" Harry responded.
Hermione thought about it for a minute. She did not think that Harry was conceited enough to guess himself, so she decided to relent. "Fine," she answered simply.
"Okay then. Let me think. I'm going to assume he's in Gryffindor, because I don't think you ever spend enough time with someone outside our house to have a crush on him. I know it's not Ron, or Neville…" Harry trailed off.
"Why do you think it's not Neville?" Hermione asked, hoping to lead him off the track.
"Because I know it's not. He asked you to Hogsmeade about a month ago and you turned him down," Harry stated plainly.
Hermione scowled, upset that he narrowed it down further.
"Now then… if he is not in our year, then he is probably only one year below. There are four boys in year six, right? I'm guessing it's not any of them though, because they all have girlfriends, and I cannot see you falling for someone who is already taken. That leaves either Dean or Seamus. It can't be Dean, because Ginny went out with Dean," Harry said, mostly to himself.
She got worried. What if he actually figures it out? What will I do? I can't lie to him; he can always tell when I'm lying! Hermione thought to herself, panicking.
"Is it Seamus?" Harry asked doubtfully.
"No," Hermione answered quietly.
"Then who is it?" Harry wondered aloud.
"If you don't know, I can't help you," Hermione said, smiling to herself.
She noticed Harry got quiet. Then he looked at her sideways. Her heart began to melt as his glasses slid a few centimeters down his nose.
"It's not me, is it?" He said after a silent moment.
Hermione gulped. It was now or never.
Want to know what happens?
Leave a review, and maybe I'll add another chapter.

Athletes from across the world have been ranked according to their marketing potential over a three-year period from this summer.
- Value for money
- Age
- Home market
- Charisma
- Willingness to be marketed
- Crossover appeal
New Zealander, 19, Golf
Golf's great in the making
Representatives: WME│IMG
Key partners: Callaway Golf, ANZ, Evian
2015 ranking: 23
Lydia Ko doesn't like to hang around. Having already claimed a string of 'youngest' accolades since turning pro in 2013 at the tender age of 15, the world's top female golfer confirmed what many had long predicted when she claimed her maiden major title – aged just 18 years, four months and 20 days – at September's Evian Championship. That victory, plus four more on the LPGA circuit, made the Kiwi sensation the highest earner on tour in 2015, while two further tournament wins, including a second major at April's ANA Inspiration, have set her well on the way to repeating the feat this year.
With a humble, carefree demeanour that belies her imperious talent, Ko is the archetypal marketer's dream: a mature head on young shoulders, eloquent and personable inside and outside the ropes, advised by some of the best representatives in the game.
It is a distinct possibility that Ko will be contesting major championships for years, if not decades, to come. The promise of more success and the exposure that comes with it will have brands clamouring to be associated with one of the finest sportswomen of her generation. ML

President John Mahama has promised to return all confiscated properties of the CPP depending on the outcome of the AG's investigations.
The Attorney General will engage the council of elders of the Convention People's Party (CPP) on handing over confiscated properties belonging to the party.
The properties include office buildings and houses seized by the state after the overthrow of Ghana's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in 1966.
The council of elders of the CPP led by its Chairman, Felix Amoah paid a courtesy call on the President, John Dramani Mahama at the Flagstaff House.
Notably, the Communication Ministry building and the building currently housing the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council are among properties likely to be relinquished to the party.
The visit is a follow up by the CPP executives after the President promised in the 2015 state of the nation address that discussions were underway to hand over assets belonging to the party.
The Chairman of the CPP Council of elders, Felix Amoah, commended the president for the gesture.
"We felt it is very appropriate for us to follow up to come and say thank you for doing what you did because it was a very bold and courageous gesture of restoration and restitution".
A member of the council, Bafour Kwamena Senchiri, also commended the President for the gesture and commended him for his role in fighting the deadly Ebola virus as Chairman of Ecowas.

This will enable her identify the property and compare with the list that you gave us so we can properly identify the assets as we are discussing. Then she will send her recommendations to me as the President but I am sure that at a point in time, she will invite you for a discussion".

|Would like to contribute
|Sun, 13 Aug 2000 15:40:55 GMT
Hi, I would like to contribute some code that I have developed and that allows to use a Tamino database engine with Cocoon. Tamino is an XML database developed by my employee, the Software AG. - A Tamino producer; in other words a producer reading from the database - A Tamino processor in the style of the SQL processor, that allows to execute read and/or write requests like this: <!-- Set the Tamino --> <inop:init url="http://localhost/tamino/test/mycoll"> <!-- Insert some documents --> <inop:process> <doc1>...</doc1> <doc2>...</doc2> </inop:process> <!-- Read something from the database --> <inop:xql> doc1[name="something" and date > ´2000-05-19´] </inop:xql> - A Tamino tag library for XSP in the same style, but using the prefix "inotl" rather than "inop". The above stuff does not depend any external libraries other than Cocoon and Xerces. (I am using org.apache.xml.* for serialization.) Would that be accepted? If so, what is the preferred method of contributing my code. I am used to working with CVS, so I could insert into the repository directly. I could also send patches. Thanks in advance, Jochen

We lucky folk at TraveLinkSites got to talk to David of the epic blog Davidsbeenhere.com. Malawi was a rich experience for this avid traveller so let's find out what he got up to…
1. Hey David! Could you briefly introduce yourself, your site and your experience travelling in Malawi?
My name is David Hoffmann, a Miami native who's addicted to traveling, eating and new experiences around the globe.
Davidsbeenhere.com is an online resource for people seeking portable and practical advice in the form of guides, blog posts, pictures and video. I began the company in 2007 and have traveled to over 600 cities throughout 45 countries. It is a website for those seeking helpful information and a little inspiration.
My experience traveling in Malawi was unlike any other that I have had in the past. Africa is a diverse continent, but what sets Malawi apart is its culture and customs.
2. What made you choose Malawi and what were your first impressions?
Honestly, the Malawi Tourism Board was very open to the possibility of me visiting the country to promote it. I had the opportunity to go and I took it. This summer I flew South African Airways (SAA) Miami – New York – Johannesburg – Lilongwe. Travel time was long (30 hours) but once I arrived and met my driver, I knew my trip was going to be a blast. The jet lag, however, was rough for the first couple of days.
3. How much money can someone travel around Malawi for? What are the greatest expenses? What things are relatively cheap?
The most costly aspect of traveling to any African country is getting there. SAA is an incredible airline that flies to over 26 countries worldwide. SAA prices are competitive, but will set you back approximately $2,500 – $3,000 USD for a round trip ticket per person. But since SAA is part of the Star Alliance, you can use your miles toward the purchase of your ticket. The second-largest cost is hotels. If you are looking to stay in a 4 to 5-star hotel, be prepared to spend anywhere from $100 to $350 per night. Prices could go up from there, depending on the excursions and safaris you want to do. There are, however, seasonal deals that you could take advantage of for most hotels, and the majority of rates include some or all meals. Local food is cheap, but isn't very appealing. Shopping, however, is very cheap. Check out my blog for more information of Malawi's markets and tips for bargaining.
4. What is the local cuisine like? Did you find yourself trying new things or pining for the familiars of home?
Local cuisine is comprised of nshima- a ground corn meal (maize) paste that can also be prepared with cassava. Nshima has a gummy consistency and is eaten with salt, broth, dried fish and sometimes meat. It is not the tastiest of foods; in fact it has almost no taste at all. It is important to remember that Malawi is one of the poorest nations in Africa and corn is a crop that is relatively inexpensive for local farmers to grow. Thankfully, the hotels in Malawi have top-notch chefs cooking everything from savory meat pies and Italian risottos to Asian fusion dishes and classic French pastries. Plus, there is never a shortage of South African wine to accompany a meal.
5. What cultural activities and events would you suggest everyone seeing or taking part in while travelling in Malawi and why?
Can't miss activities include safaris at Nyika and Liwonde National Parks and at Majete Game Reserve, snorkeling in Lake Malawi National Park and shopping at the local craft markets. Malawi is a bird-watcher's dream come true, especially at Liwonde National Park and around Lake Malawi.
Safari tours are a spectacular way to spend your time, whether in a car or on a river safari. Elephants, leopard, hyena, zebra, crocodiles, hippo, warthog, bushbuck, impala and several other animals call Malawi home. Bring your best camera and enjoy the nature of this country. Lake Malawi is the size of Belgium! It has over 2,000 species of colorful cichlid fish as well as majestic fish eagles and squawking cormorants. Visitors can snorkel among the cichlids, kayak around the tiny islands in the lake or just hang out by the shore. Other activities include sailing, diving and feeding fish eagles.
6. What is your favourite thing about travelling this country? What is your least favourite thing?
My absolute favorite experience has to be getting close to elephant herds in Majete Game Reserve. I watched as a herd crossed the river, which was something I thought I would never get the chance to see. My least favorite experience would have to be spending time in Lilongwe, the capital city. There is not much to do there and I would suggest spending a max of a couple of nights before heading somewhere else.
7. What things do you focus on most when you blog about Malawi? Why do you choose these things?
Africa is an immense place and each country is so different, so I try to write about the aspects that make it unique like its customs, history and gastronomy. Malawi is called the "Warm Heart of Africa" for a reason- the people there are genuinely friendly and welcoming.
8. What's one thing you can't travel around Malawi without?
Sun block!
9. What kind of response have you had to your blogs about Malawi? What post had the most interest?
I have had a great deal of positive feedback about it and I expect for my Malawi travel guides to do well because it is an amazing country that's not to be missed. The most frequent comment I hear is that nobody has really heard about Malawi other than the fact Madonna adopted a child from there. The post that had the most interest is the Preparing for Africa: Malawi Edition post. It provides practical advice on packing and preparing for travel to Malawi.
10. If you could think of one thing you wished someone told you before you started travelling in Malawi what would it be?
To bring an extra suitcase to bring home all the masks I bought.
Thanks David!
