Potholes are products of corruption, alleges NCP
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) raised a storm in the general body meeting on Friday over the issue of the pothole-ridden roads in the city.mumbai Updated: Sep 04, 2010 02:40 IST
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) raised a storm in the general body meeting on Friday over the issue of the pothole-ridden roads in the city.
Vidya Chavan and Bhaskar Khursange, both NCP corporators representing wards in the western suburb, alleged that potholes on city roads showed the corruption in the civic body.
Chavan demanded that the BMC should compensate the people who suffer from spondylitis or spinal cord problem because of travelling on pothole-filled roads. She said: "The civic vigilance department should inspect the road work."
According to Khursange bad roads was the nexus between the civic official and contractors.
Congress senior corporator Avtarsingh Sokhi said, "No official inspects the quality of road after filling of pothole. No standard procedure is followed while filling up the pothole."
Sokhi pointed out that there was no need to be an expert to understand the basic standard procedure of filling up pothole.
Congress corporator Vinod Shekhar raised the point in the civic general body meeting. The civic administration however assured that potholes would be clear in the next seven days before Ganeshostav festival.
Meanwhile the CM Ashok Chavan instructed the BMC to improve the road condition. An official who attended the meeting said he that Chavan took a meeting just to get an overall update on the infrastructure of road, FOB's, bridges.

For those supporters looking to follow their stars who are temporarily outside Turin, they need look no further than a brand new feature of Juventus.com, namely a section dedicated exclusively to the 56 Bianconeri out on loan at clubs ranging between Serie B (17), Lega Pro (14) a first (14) or second (6) division in Europe, or in Serie A (5).
The list includes players like Marcel Buchel, who yesterday put Empoli 2-0 up away to Fiorentina with a brilliant left-footed strike (the visitors would end up having to settle for a 2-2 draw) or Ouasim Bouy, who played an important role in PEC Zwolle's 5-0 rout of Roda.
Bouy provided a perfect assist, a 50-metre cross-field ball to Stefan Nijland, whose goal capped off a significant victory for the Dutch outfit that has now risen to seventh place in the Eredivisie and a playoff berth for Europa League qualification.
Born in Amsterdam, the 22-year-old of Moroccan origin is a product of Ajax's youth academy and can be deployed either in the centre or on the left side of midfield. After playing for the Primavera in Vinovo, he made his mark with Brescia, scoring a goal on his debut against Spezia as well as amassing five assists before a knee injury led to a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
After completing his road to recovery at Juventus Center, Bouy set off for Bundesliga-outfit Hamburg in January 2014, then featured more regularly with Panathinaikos, before making a return home to Holland by switching to Zwolle, with whom he scored the winning goal against Willem II at the start of October.

The movement for gay rights—and, more broadly, against subjecting prisoners to officially sanctioned anal probes—has arrived in Lebanon:
Dozens of people demonstrated outside the law courts in the Lebanese capital on Saturday to protest the use of anal "tests" on men suspected of homosexuality, which is a criminal offence in the Arab country.
The rally followed a July 28 police raid on a gay venue in a working class district of Beirut when 36 men were taken into custody and forced to undergo the examinations, reportedly to determine their sexual orientation….
Men and women—ranging from gay and lesbian young adults to a father and daughter—chanted in unison and held banners that read: "United to abolish the tests of shame."
Other homemade signs struck a more sarcastic tone: "Honorable minister, before you test my anus, at least take me out to dinner," read one.

Subaru introduced the "New Age" Impreza to Japan in August 2000. The WRX models featured a 2.0-litre turbocharged boxer engine until 2005, after which they switched to the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine.
This Subaru Impreza WRX had been treated to a new exhaust and been fully serviced before coming down to ADE Tuning. As a standard car this Subaru would make 214bhp.
With the live custom remap written and adjusted whilst the car is driven with our tuner in the passenger seat. It is important to ensure optimum AFR is achieved in order to ensure that stoichiometric mixture. This in basic terms means that the engine isn't running lean or rich fuel mixture.
Another important factor to monitor is engine knock when developing a good and most importantly a safe tune. Knocking or detonation occurs when unburnt fuel in the combustion chamber explodes rather than a burning in a controlled manner.
It is important that correct boost pressure control is achieved to ensure that no spikes or dips occur to ensure maintained life of the turbocharger.
With all these factors taken in to account and with our tuner happy with how the car performs and drives we took the car over to the four wheel driven rolling road. ADE Tuning only have a two wheel driven rolling road onsite so hire a local four wheel driven one.
With the Subaru Impreza WRX strapped to the rolling road we find the final power figure of the live road remap.
The live road map increased to power to 292bhp 😊

The U-17 Indian Football team has had training sessions at Bengaluru and Goa for some time in the recent past.
With less than 9 days to go for India U-17s to clash swords against USA in the first ever FIFA World Cup hosted by India, the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 India, the Indian Colts had their first training session ahead of the FIFA U-17 World Cup under the watchful eyes of Head Coach Luis Norton de Matos, in the Capital at the Conscient Football ground in Gurugram, Haryana today (September 27, 2017).
The Indian U-17 National Team had arrived yesterday's evening from Goa and Head Coach Luis Norton Matos emphasized on tactical training along with a focus on set pieces amongst other technical matters. Meanwhile, morale and spirits are at an all-time high in the Indian camp with the young colts registering a 3-0 win over Mauritius in a practice match which the Colts had played in Goa earlier.
It's like we've been given a chance to play in the World Cup: Ranjit Bajaj
I Am Lucky I Have Parents Who Share My Dreams: Ninthoinganba Meetei
The Indian final squad for FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 is here!
FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 Full Coverage
That was even more evident on the training pitch as one could sense the scent of excitement from the players about to make history for Indian football in less than a fortnight. The players, even rightly so, were all ears to Matos's commands as the technical staff along with the Head Coach guided them through drills.
India U-17 squad in training
"A unique moment is upon us", said Matos. "It is an amazing moment in Indian Football's history and everyone associated with it should be proud of it"
India have been drawn in Group A of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 India with USA, Colombia and Ghana, and incidentally, Colombia, the first team to arrive in the nation for the FIFA World Cup, are practising at the same training ground as India.
The Indian Colts face USA on October 06, before locking horns against Colombia and Ghana on October 09 and October 12 respectively at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the Capital. The kick-off for all matches is at IST 8 PM.
Jitendra Singh working it out hard in training
"The FIFA U-17 World Cup is a very big moment for every player as they will all become heroes. They will become the first Indian players to be part of a FIFA World Cup"
"These players will inspire generations to come, they will motivate posterity and that in itself is a victory", he informed.
In an effort to field a strong team, the AIFF has provided exposure trips to the India U-17s wherein the colts went to play club teams and the national team of Europe including clashes against Benfica, Serbia and Macedonia. The India U-17s also participated in a Four-Nation Tournament in Mexico alongside hosts Mexico, Chile and fellow Group A team Colombia.
Sanjeev Stalin in the training session
"The level of enthusiasm in the camp is very high. We are prepared and the team has grown exponentially in the last couple of months. We plan to show the world that we are on the same page as the rest of the teams in the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2017 India"
"The Indian team is raring to go and make history", Matos added.

- I read the other day that it was going to be "only" 102 degrees that day in Dallas. They've had an awful heat wave in the northern parts of Texas, and I hope that any readers from that area are doing ok.
So by that standard, I guess we can say that Magna Entertainment "only" lost $21.3 million in the second quarter; that as opposed to $23.4 million a year ago. As usual, the company won't meet its targets to reduce its debt. As usual, it acknowledged that its future as a going concern is in substantial doubt. As usual, Frank Stronach highlighted the sunny side.
"Despite difficult economic conditions in the U.S.," earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization were up by $1.2 million, chairman and CEO Frank Stronach said in a statement.(Laurel Park cut six stakes from its schedule today, and announced that Pimlico will close for training at the end of this month.)
"This improvement was primarily due to improved results at Gulfstream Park, Santa Anita Park and our real estate operations partially offset by disappointing results at The Maryland Jockey Club," Stronach said. [Canadian Press]
And when Frank talks about improved results at Gulfstream, he's not talking about the racing other than from the introduction of year round simulcasting....at the end of the 2008 race meet. The company said that the slots and poker at the track netted an additional $5.5 million as opposed to the same quarter last year.
Of course, these results are through June, and the blackjack tables at the nearby Hard Rock didn't open until the 23rd of that month. So we don't yet know the effects of those table games, which opponents have been unable to stop despite the court ruling which essentially declared them illegal. This is the pdf document with the revenue figures for all of the Broward County parimutuels through June. You'll notice that the figures for all have three declined rather sharply over the second quarter. Of course, the tourist season ends over that period. But I'd be surprised if there weren't other factors at play.
Regardless, Gulfstream is in a bad spot here, compacted into a highly unfavorable competitive position by Governor Crist's agreement with the tribe, which I'd guess will eventually take effect in one form or another, leading to an expansion of the games at Hard Rock. Last month, a reader informed me that a reliable acquaintance who lives near the track reported that construction on the Village at Gulfstream Park, the planned retail and condo complex, has been halted due to lack of interest on the retail side. (Not the only project that developer Bruce Ratner is not currently constructing.) Early in July, the city of Hallandale Beach put off a decision on providing incentives to help attract retail tenants. The reader's Florida connection also told him that track workers reported what they described as potential Arab buyers on the grounds.
Indeed, Matt Hegarty reports in the Form that Frank Stronach indicated that marquee tracks may be sold. However, the company's statement indicated that such sales may not be imminent.
Although we continue to take steps to implement our debt elimination plan, real estate and credit markets have continued to demonstrate weakness to date in 2008 and we do not expect that we will be able to complete asset sales at acceptable prices as quickly or for amounts as originally contemplated. Also, given the announcement of the reorganization proposal for MI Developments Inc. ("MID"), our controlling shareholder, and pending determination of whether it will proceed, we are in the process of reconsidering whether to sell certain of the assets that were originally identified for disposition under the debt elimination plan. [Fox Business]The reorganization process referred to is the plan proposed by Stronach in which he would essentially buy Magna Entertainment from himself....and assume its debt, himself, so that he can owe money to, himself. In any event, the plan has not yet been voted on by shareholders, and I seriously doubt that Frank will abandon ship before he gets a chance, if permitted by shareholders, to give his scheme a try.

Android mortgage calculator
I've found 'Karl's Mortgage Calculator' to be a great mortgage tool for android. It's free but ad-supported with fairly unobtrusive banner ads. Does have lots of options though.
Greater individual control over personal finance is booming, with the British Bankers Association (BBA) reporting 5.7 million transactions a day are now made from smartphones. This is transformational stuff, but it's not all about current account apps. Personal finance guru Jennifer Newton follows the money and finds the best …
MoneyDashboard - - I've been using it for a few months now (got cashback through Quidco to sign up for it!) - centralises all your accounts in one place and gives you pretty graphs about your actual financial state. As someone who obsessively spreadsheets my incomings and outgoings it's nice to have something that does that stuff nicely.
Just had a look at that. It seems like exactly what I want, except for one thing: You have to provide your online banking login details to it!
Sorry, but whatever they say about security bla bla bla, that's not happening. Nobody gets access to any of my login details for anything. Not only that, but handing my details over to them would give the bank a get-out on any fraud. It's a breach of T&Cs.
To be honest, I have thought for a long time that banks need to get a standardised reporting interface together. I believe they have one in Germany, and it can even be used to make bill payments etc.
.. also connects to your bank account(s), so the same problem with T&C I imagine.
Shame that Loan Calculator – What If is iOS only. It looked the best out of the lot to me.
Shame MSE doesn't do mobile apps for their website tools:
Minimum Repayments: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/credit-cards/minimum-repayments-credit-card#calc
Loan Calculator: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/cheap-personal-loans#calc
It's always seemed odd, in this capitalist, dog-eat-dog arena of business competition, that all the prepaid cards insist on ridiculous fees. Why doesn't someone see the opportunity to simply live on the float from the time the company gets the cash to the time the cardowner spends it? All I want is to buy my morning coffee without everyone from my card company to my government (and probably everyone else's, too) knowing about it.
I wonder how long it'll be before retail stores quit accepting cash, and everyone knows about every pence you spend?

We are trying this again. I have started a blog this time to track what we are eating. Tonight we ran out of food yet again. I made a HUGE pot of chili and there was not enough left for "second dinner" after sports. I read back through some of my older posts and realized that we struggled with this last time too. Anyway, here is the link to my blog if you want to follow along with what we are eating throughout this. We just finished day 7. It's much easier this time around with the instant pots we own. I'm trying to keep track for other large families. We have 7 kids. Last time we did this there just was not a lot out there for meal ideas for big families. Tina, our 11 year old has the same issues, and we are also trying to clear up his ears. He has tubes and is constantly filled with fluid. Hoping to curb the mucus on him and help with the acne for our 15 year old. So much work, but easier this time around since all of the kids are older and more independent. https://rebelroadtn.wixsite.com/idontneedanexpert

Day 26, and I'm dying.....
ntmom7 replied to ntmom7's topic in Whole30 for kidsThank you. Day 28. It looks like we will fall short by one day. I'm leaving town to see my sick father, and the kids will need sandwiches while I am gone. We will have gone 29 days with 9 people. I think we've done pretty well. This is just a little much for my husband to handle without me. We will continue eating this way when I get back though.
Day 26, and I'm dying.....
ntmom7 posted a topic in Whole30 for kidsI posted for suggestions in another thread, but I'm dying here. I am cooking for 9 people three meals a day every day. I went into the kitchen to make lunch and found that the egg salad I had planned can't happen. They ate all of the boiled eggs but 6. That is not enough to feed all nine of us. The thought of cooking another meal brings me to tears. I've used the slow cooker, I've baked ahead, I've boiled and scrambled eggs..... I can not seem to get out of the kitchen. We homeschool as well, so we will all be home all day for the rest of eternity. How on earth do I make this easier??????? It's Friday and the fridge is empty again. They are eating everything and I simply cannot keep up. Often there is not enough left for my husband and I. We had to make breakfast twice today. We went through 10 lbs of potatoes in just one dinner. And yes, the kids are helping with food prep, but this is out of control. Any thoughts or advice would be helpful. Please imagine cooking for dinner guests every day all day long......That is what the last 26 days has felt like. On the positive side, we've made it 26 days.
We have 7 very active kids from 15-3. No one has body fat or weight issues. They all run cross country (except the 3 year old) and we homeschool so they are always outside. We are 16 days into our whole 30. We are going through 2 dozen eggs for breakfast and then some. I'm often not getting enough to eat because they are eating a TON!!!! We have always eaten well. We live on a homestead and have a dairy cow. Normally when they are still hungry we say have another glass of milk. We are doing a whole 30 while she is waiting to have her next calf. They ate 10 lbs of potatoes for dinner one night along with their chicken and other veggies. I don't mind the amount of food (so much). But I'm killing myself in the kitchen. Aside from precooking veggies for breakfast eggs, and precooking chicken for lunches, any prep ideas? It's canning season here as well, so I've been chained to the kitchen for the last 16 days. My family loves the food, but I'm exhausted. Any tips or hints? Also, we need more fat. I only have a few that like avocados. We are eating coconut with raisins for breakfast with our eggs and veggies, ranch, pesto, and guacamole. Any other things I can add? Thanks for the help.

The ultra flex of the roofing system is 1000% stretchable, an ultimate protection to roofs and podium.

Papua is the largest province of Indonesia. It comprises most of the western half of the island of New Guinea and nearby islands.
The province originally covered the entire western half of New Guinea. In 2003, the Indonesian government declared the westernmost part of the island, around Bird's Head Peninsula, a separate province; its name was first West Irian Jaya and now West Papua. In November 2004, an Indonesian court agreed that the split violated Papua's autonomy laws. However, the court ruled that because the new province had already been created, it should remain separate from Papua. The ruling also prohibited the creation of another proposed province, Central Irian Jaya, as that division had not yet been formalised.
"Papua" is the official Indonesian and internationally recognised name for the province.
During the Dutch colonial era the region was known as part of "Dutch New Guinea" or "Netherlands New Guinea". Since its annexation in 1969, it became known as "West Irian" or "Irian Barat" until 1973, and thereafter renamed "Irian Jaya" (roughly translated, "Glorious Irian") by the Suharto administration.This was the official name until the name "Papua" was adopted in 2002. Today, natives of this province prefer to call themselves Papuans.
The name "West Papua" was adopted in 1961 by the New Guinea Council until the United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA) transferred administration to the Republic of Indonesia in 1963. "West Papua" has since been used by Papuans as a self-identifying term, especially by those demanding self-determination, and usually refers to the whole of the Indonesian portion of New Guinea. The other Indonesian province that shares New Guinea, West Irian Jaya, has been officially renamed as "West Papua".
Within Indonesia and West Papua itself, 'Papua' usually refers to the entire western half of New Guinea despite its division into separate provinces.Western New Guinea is generally referred to as 'West Papua' internationally – especially among networks of international solidarity with the West Papuan independence movement.
The province of Papua is governed by a directly elected governor (currently Barnabas Suebu) and a regional legislature, DPRP (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Papua).
A government organisation that only exists in Papua is the MRP (Majelis Rakyat Papua / Papuan People's Council), which was formed by the Indonesian Government in 2005 as a coalition of Papuan tribal chiefs, tasked with arbitration and speaking on behalf of Papuan tribal customs.
Indonesian governance of Papua is recognised by the United Nations and practically all members of the international community. As in the other provinces of Indonesia, the central government in Jakarta has a strong influence in the Papua. Papua was a major beneficiary of a nation-wide decentralisation process started in 1999 and the Special Autonomy status introduced in 2002. Measures included the formation of the MRP and redistribution of resource revenues. The implementation, however, of the Special Autonomy measures has been criticized by many as only being half-hearted.
In 1999 it was proposed to split the province into three government-controlled sectors, sparking Papuan protests. In January 2003 President Megawati Sukarnoputri signed an order dividing Papua into three provinces: Central Irian Jaya (Irian Jaya Tengah), Papua (or East Irian Jaya, Irian Jaya Timur), and West Papua (Irian Jaya Barat). The formality of installing a local government for Jaraka in Irian Jaya Barat (West) took place in February 2003 and a governor was appointed in November; a government for Irian Jaya Tengah (central) was delayed from August 2003 due to violent local protests. The creation of this separate central province was blocked by Indonesian courts, who declared it to be unconstitutional and in contravention of the Papua's special autonomy agreement. The previous division into two provinces was allowed to stand as an established fact.
In January 2006, 43 Papuan asylum seekers landed on the coast of Australia and stated that the Indonesian military is carrying out a genocide in Papua. They were transported to an Australian immigration detention facility on Christmas Island, 360 km (224 mi) south of the western end of Java. On 23 March 2006, the Australian government granted temporary visas to 42 of the 43 asylum seekers (the 43rd, who had a Japanese visa at the time of his arrival, received an Australian visa in early August 2006). The asylum seekers were granted visas on the basis of "well founded fear of persecution." Later, several of these refugees returned to Indonesia, saying they were "disillusioned" with the group. On 24 March 2006 Indonesia recalled its ambassador to Australia in protest at the granting of the visas .
As of 2005, Papua province consisted of 19 regencies (kabupaten), 1 city (kotamadya), 117 subdistricts (kecamatan), 66 kelurahan, and 830 villages (desa).
The regencies ("kabupaten") are: Asmat; Biak-Numfor; Boven Digoel; Jayapura; Jayawijaya; Keerom; Mappi; Merauke; Mimika; Nabire; Paniai; Pegunungan Bintang; Puncak Jaya; Sarmi; Supiori; Tolikara; Waropen; Yahukimo and Yapen Waropen. The city of Jayapura also has the status of a regency.
Jayapura, founded on 7 March 1910 as Hollandia is the capital. Since Indonesian administration the name of the city has been changed to Kotabaru, then to Sukarnopura before its current name, Jayapura.[citation needed] Among ethnic Papuans, it is also known as Port Numbai, the former name before the arrival of immigrants.[citation needed] Jayapura is also the largest city, with a small but active tourism industry,[clarification needed] it is built on a slope overlooking the bay. Cenderawasih University (UNCEN) campus at Abepura houses the University Museum. Both Tanjung Ria beach, near the market at Hamadi — site of the 22 April 1944 Allied invasion during World War II — and the site of General Douglas MacArthur's World War II headquarters at Ifar Gunung have monuments commemorating the events.
A central east-west mountain range dominates the geography of the island of New Guinea, over 1,600 km (994 mi) in total length. The western section is around 600 km (373 mi) long and 100 km (62 mi) across. The province contains the highest mountains between the Himalayas and the Andes, rising up to 4884 m high, and ensuring a steady supply of rain from the tropical atmosphere. The tree line is around 4000 m elevation and the tallest peaks contain permanent equatorial glaciers, increasingly melting due to a changing climate. Various other smaller mountain ranges occur both north and west of the central ranges. Except in high elevations, most areas possess a hot humid climate throughout the year, with some seasonal variation associated with the northeast monsoon season.
The third major habitat feature are the vast southern and northern lowlands. Stretching for hundreds of kilometers, these include lowland rainforests, extensive wetlands, savanna grasslands, and some of the largest expanses of mangrove forest in the world. The southern lowlands are the site of Lorentz National Park, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The province's largest river is the Mamberamo, sometimes called the "Amazon of Papua", which winds through the northern part of the province. The result is a large area of lakes and rivers known as the Lakes Plains region. The famous Baliem Valley, home of the Dani people is a tableland 1600 m above sea level in the midst of the central mountain range; Puncak Jaya, sometimes known by its former Dutch name Carstensz Pyramid, is a mist covered limestone mountain peak 4884 m above sea level. It is the highest peak of Oceania.
Ethnic groups
The following are some of the most well-known ethnic groups of Papua:
* Amungme
* Asmat
* Bauzi
* Dani
* Kamoro
* Kombai
* Korowai
* Mee
* Sentani
* Yali
* Yei
The Yei pronounced Yay are sometimes known as the Jei, Je, Yei-nan people.
There are approximately 2500 speakers of the Yei language. 40% Ethno Religionists- animistic tribal religion 60% Catholics and Christians (blended with animistic beliefs & customs) The Yei language is believed to have 2 dialects observed by a Wycliffe, SIL language survey in 2001. At home the Yei people speak their own language but use Indonesian for trade, wider communication and at school. Most Yei are literate in Indonesian. The Yei people have no Bible translation, gospel films or videos in their language.
There are elementary schools in each village. About 10-30% of kids continue in middle school. Very few go to high school. The nearest high school is in Merauke city. They live primarily by hunting, fishing, and gardening short and long term crops in the lowlands. The Yei diet mainly consists of rice, vegetables, fish and roasted sago. With their land at an altitude of less than 100 meters above sea level, the Yei people can best be accessed by vehicle on the road from Merauke or by motorized canoe up the Maro River. There is no airstrip or airplane access other than float plane which is currently available from Merauke through MAF by about a 15 minute flight to Toray. The Poo and Bupul villages have a clinic but people still use traditional medicines. There is very little infrastructure in the area: no telephones or toilets. At night electricity is run from a generator. There are (SSB's) Single side-band radios in Bupul, Tanas, Poo, and Erambu villages, mainly used by the police & military force. Most villages get their drinking water from the Maro River, but some get it from wells or by collecting rain.
The population of Papua province has been growing fast (2.9 children per woman fertility rate), from 1.9 million in the 2000 Indonesia Census to 2.9 million in the 2010 Census.Since the early 1990s Papua has had the highest population growth rate of all Indonesian provinces at over 3% annually. This is partly a result of high birth rates, but mainly due to migration from other parts of Indonesia. While indigenous Papuans formed the near-totality of the population in 1961, they are now roughly 50% of the population, the other half being composed of non-Papuan migrants coming from other parts of Indonesia. An overwhelming percentage of these migrants came as part of a government-sponsored transmigration program.
According to the 2000 census, 78% of the Papuans identified themselves as Christian with 54% being Protestant and 24% being Roman Catholic. 21% of the population was Muslim and less than 1% were Buddhist or Hindu.
There is also substantial practice of animism by Papuans.
The densest population center, other than the large coastal cities that house Indonesian bureaucratic and commercial apparatus, is located in and around the town of Wamena in the Palim (a.k.a. Baliem) Valley of the Central Highlands. The 'extreme democracy' and ecological stewardship of the highlands Papuan society is documented by Jared Diamond in the book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed.
A vital tropical rainforest with the tallest tropical trees and vast biodiversity, Papua's known forest fauna includes marsupials (including possums, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, cuscuses), other mammals (including the endangered Long-beaked Echidna), many bird species (including birds of paradise, cassowaries, parrots, cockatoos), the world's longest lizards (Papua monitor) and the world's largest butterflies.
The island has an estimated 16,000 species of plant, 124 genera of which are endemic.
The extensive waterways and wetlands of Papua are also home to salt and freshwater crocodile, tree monitors, flying foxes, osprey, bats and other animals; while the equatorial glacier fields remain largely unexplored.
In February 2006, a team of scientists exploring the Foja Mountains, Sarmi, discovered numerous new species of birds, butterflies, amphibians, and plants, including possibly the largest-flowered species of rhododendron.
Protected areas within Papua province include the Lorentz National Park, which is also a World Heritage site and the Wasur National Park, a RAMSAR wetland of international importance.
Ecological threats include logging-induced deforestation, forest conversion for plantation agriculture (especially oil palm), smallholder agricultural conversion, the introduction and potential spread of alien species such as the Crab-eating Macaque which preys on and competes with indigenous species, the illegal species trade, and water pollution from oil and mining operations.
Papua's ancient rain forests have recently come under an even greater threat of deforestation after the Chinese government placed an order of 1 billion US dollar or 800,000 cubic meters of the threatened merbau rainforest timbers, used in buildings for the 2008 Summer Olympics.
In remote forested valleys, several thousand smallholder farmers are growing Arabica coffee in the shade of Calliandra, Erythrina and Albizia trees. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not available in these valleys. Since there are no roads, the coffee is flown out and then exported from the port of Jayapura.

HBO host Bill Maher told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he believes Democrats have gone too far with their political correctness.
On Monday evening, Maher said, speaking of the Democrat Party: "They have some things to answer for. They don't help themselves a lot and a lot of this far-left political correctness is a cancer on progressivism."
He continued via the Washington Examiner: "When you talk to Trump supporters, they're not blind to his myriad flaws, but they always say is, 'He's not politically correct.' I don't think you can overestimate how much people have been choking on political correctness and hate it."
"The vast majority of liberals in this country hate it [political correctness]," Maher added. "They think political correctness has gone way too far. No one likes to be living on eggshells."
The HBO host also took a swipe at former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, claiming she "absolutely" obstructed justice.
Via Fox News:
While he complained that the Clinton email investigation was "overcovered" by the media during the 2016 election, the HBO star conceded that Clinton's behavior may have been unlawful.
"There's a lot of reasons why the Democrats lost and many of them were Hillary was a terrible candidate, that's absolutely true," Maher said.
"She didn't help herself [nor] the situation with the emails in terms of how she handled her answers and her actions," Cuomo replied.
"Absolutely," Maher agreed. "And she committed obstruction of justice. Now Trump, I think, did in much worse fashion, but I mean… smashing up your phones and your hard drives…"
Lastly, Maher said he did not trust the media as they are solely out to make a profit.
"I don't trust the media," Maher said in response to the media's role in the presidential elections, the Washington Examiner also reports. "I don't have a lot of faith because, you know, we don't live in the era of news division as loss leaders like we used to. The news division didn't have to make a profit."
He added: "Then that changed and then you have to report to the board like everybody else and show your earnings and in that atmosphere they're always going to be looking for eyeballs. That's going to be the most important thing is getting people to click, getting people to watch. And in that atmosphere, I mean look at how much they over covered Hillary's emails in 2016. And what effect that had on the election? Now there's a lot of reasons why the Democrats lost and many of them were Hillary was a terrible candidate."

Excessive expenditure and financial harms are core features of problem gambling. There are various forms of gambling and their nature varies. The aim was to measure gambling expenditure by game type while controlling for demographics and other gambling participation factors. A further aim was to find out how each game type was associated with gambling expenditure when the number of game types played is adjusted for.
It seems that overall gambling frequency is the strongest indicator of high gambling expenditure. Our results showed that different game types had different effect sizes on gambling expenditure. Weekly gambling on horse races and non-monopoly games had the greatest increasing effect on expenditure. However, different game types also varied based on their popularity. The extent of potential harms caused by high expenditure therefore also varies on the population level. Based on our results, future prevention and harm minimization efforts should be tailored to different game types for greater effectiveness. Full article

Be Proactive
Have you ever had a day where you got a ton of things done? Right from the moment you got up you started accomplishing things that mattered. You were able to accomplish all of that because you were proactive.
Be proactive is the first habit in Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Proactive people are empowered. They believe they have control over their lives based on the choices they make. According to Covey being proactive "means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions."
Try a little experiment. Create a list of 3 things you want to accomplish tomorrow, maybe things that you've been putting off. Write them on a Post It note with the words "BE PROACTIVE at the top. Commit to accomplishing them tomorrow by 7:00 p.m. Notice how great it feels when you strike the third thing off the list. Think how much you could get done if you did that every day!
To read more about being proactive go to https://www.stephencovey.com/7habits/7habits-habit1.php
Structured Systems
If you repeat the Post It note experiment above every day you will have a system for getting things done. It is a simple system, but it can be very effective. If you read last week's Tuesday TE Tips you remember I mentioned Scott Belsky author of Making Ideas Happen. Belsky says "the most important, and most often neglected, organizational element is structure." One way to create structure is by developing systems.
- Create efficiency
- Allow for consistency of execution
- Can be run by others
- Provide a framework for completing a task
Systems don't have to be complicated. I challenge you to consider what systems you could create to become more Proactive. As you become more Proactive you will feel more in control of your destiny, you will accomplish more and you will be more effective.
Use the comments section to share what system you developed to help you be more Proactive!

If you have the interest, I also have a photoblog that I keep on the side called Shards of the Sky. With every photo I can manage, I try to post a single short poem either describing the photo at hand, or if there is some other importance to me, there may also be a description beneath the photo.
It mostly revolves around nature, the sky, and flowers, but may someday have a range a little wider. If I ever form some sort of confidence in my artwork, some of it may appear there as well. For now however, it will have a smaller variety.

Fundraiser to Raise Monies for Local Teen's Medical Treatment
April 9, 2008
The Catawba College Student Government Association and friends and family of 14-year-old Josh Lippard of Salisbury are sponsoring a Port-A-Pit Chicken Fundraiser to raise funds for his medical treatment. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 pm. on Saturday, April 19 at North Hill Christian School at 2970 W. Innes Street.
According to SGA President Cecilia Runge, "the fundraiser is just one way that Catawba students are blessing the greater community." She noted that an earlier SGA-sponsored fundraiser for Lippard, held in conjunction with local restaurant, Five Guys Famous Burgers & Fries, raised $857 to help with Lippard's medical treatment.
Josh Lippard, a homeschooled student who also played basketball, football and baseball, was riding his dirt bike in his driveway two months ago when a large tree limb fell and hit him in the shoulder area, knocking him off his bike. The falling limb severed the brachial artery in his left arm which required extensive medical treatment to repair. Josh's parents, Keith and Cheryl Lippard of Salisbury, did not have health insurance, so fundraisers like the Port-A-Pit Chicken Sale have been staged in the weeks following his injury to raise monies to help cover the costs of his medical treatment.
The Lippards' church, Franklin Baptist Church has also been involved, allowing funds designated for Josh's treatment to be mailed there.
Tickets to the upcoming Port-A-Pit Chicken Fundraiser are available for purchase by contacting Catawba SGA President Cecilia Runge at firstname.lastname@example.com or at Simply Good. Donation jars for Josh are set up at Simply Good, Rouser Automotive Parts, American Family Chiropractic, Cornerstone Baptist, the YMCA, Rowan Decorating and The Inn.

My latest post on Adfreak was my way of reminding everyone that the only proper response to Nazis or anyone claiming to be the "master race" is at the very least a good swift right hook to the jaw.
For more than 50 years, Nazis were a good go-to antagonist for movies. Not only were they unquestioningly evil, but the stakes were implied by their presence: World domination, mass extermination of those deemed "undesirable," and the collapse of the Western world.
In the past 15 years or so, they've been replaced to some extent by Middle East terrorists, who provide similar built-in stakes and seemed more relevant to the moment. World War II, after all, ended over 70 years ago, and those who fought in that conflict are disappearing every day. Young people in America today primarily know a world where non-white people are the go-to enemy, both in politics and popular entertainment.
In light of (cough) recent events, it's worth revisiting the trailers for six movies that made it clear that America's preferred response to those violently espousing Nazi ideology was a swift punch in the jaw.

Over Half of Affordable Units Being Built in DC Are Located in Desirable Neighborhoods
With Washington DC being one of the most expensive cities to live in the US, it's hard to find affordable housing in the area. Washington DC has stepped up in the real estate developing industry to create more economical housing units in desirable neighborhoods. This is tremendously positive news for Washington DC residents. A report issued by RentCafe, using data gathered by Yardi Firm, shows that 55% of the affordable housing units under construction in Washington DC area will be in what is described as "high opportunity neighborhoods," or what we know as more luxurious neighborhoods. This is a major flip on the current circumstance in which 58% of economical housing units is now located in "low opportunity neighborhoods," compared to cities like Atlanta, GA where economical housing units located in "low opportunity neighborhoods" are at around 55.09%.
Taking the conversation a step further, DC has stepped up its construction and availability of partially affordable housing. Just over a decade ago, DC's partially affordable housing inventory sat at 13%. Today, that figure has grown to 28%. Coupled with the fact that much of these buildings are in areas that are accessible to schools, transportation, and jobs, which you can clearly see the benefits, especially for low-income families.
The significance of these units being built in quality areas is key. Not only does it ensure a large section of the population still has access to affordable rent, but the long term impact of having children grow up in a positive environment is definitely lasting and will help their quality of life. Compared to other cities in the U.S, DC ranks above the national average of 42% of economical homes being situated in high opportunity locations.

2019 Cabrinha Drifter
DESIGN PROFILE: 3-strut, Moderate aspect ratio hybrid design, Surf/drift wing tip design, 2 bridle setting options
RIDER PROFILE: Specifically designed for kitesurfing in waves and strapless surf freestyle. One of the most interesting things about the Drifter is its ability to engage and disengage its power on command. While catching a wave you want all the power you need but while surfing, you often want the kite to completely disappear while you surf on your own power. Its in this moment of pure surfing where you want a kite that 'drifts' down the line with you in a stable and predictable way. We dubbed this phenomenon Drift Stability and it is the crucial ingredient in a performance surf kite. This is why the Drifter has no equal.
• Pure Profile Panels
• High Tenacity Dacron for enhanced arc stability
• Refined profiles, arc and outline for superior power delivery
• Light bar pressure with direct and responsive steering
• Great "pop" for strapless freestyle tricks
• Best slack line drift on the market
• Excellent for surf freestyle
• Exclusive onshore and offshore tuning options
• Quick power and depower response
• Unrivaled steering while depowered
• Amazing relaunch
• Quick kite acceleration and deceleration
• Increased canopy reinforcements in the high stress areas
Kite complete comes with 1x Trimlite Fixed Control System (52cm standard) and pump.
Also available on Fireball system and Overdrive bar.

Some questions don't even have all the options that are present in the answer critique. For example, one question had option E as the correct answer, but option E was not even one of the options. When I reported this to AAHPM, no one responded back. Some questions are written poorly with more than one possible answer. Overall, not as impressed as compared to some other products and previous edition. 12345 I disagreed with several questions Bruce Harrow, MD, MSPh May 28, 2019 Report Abuse As above with no mechanism that I could find for feedback. 12345 Steven M Rayle, MD May 6, 2019 Report Abuse Used as a review for the HMD Board exam, and found the teaching points to be more esoteric than fundamental. 12345 HPM Pass for MOC John E Barkley, MD Dec 12, 2018 Report Abuse This was far superior to Essentials 1-9. I did not use this prior to the November 2018 Board exam and that was a mistake on my part. The quality of the questions and equally importantly the explanation of the correct and incorrect answers was outstanding. I strongly encourage the writers of the questions that accompany the Essentials modules to expand both the number of questions and the quality of the answers . 12345 Shazia N Fazili, MD Nov 26, 2018 Report Abuse I used HPM Pass for boards and felt it was helpful. It helped me prioritize my prep. 12345 HPM Pass review Michael J Fisch, MD,FACP,FAAHPM Nov 18, 2018 Report Abuse I found the HPM Pass material excellent. There were enough questions to help me feel prepared across the full range of content in HPM. In addition, I liked the format that allowed me to take it in study mode. The answers were thorough and the references were very helpful. 12345 Test review James B Vogus, MD,HMDC,FAAFP Nov 14, 2018 Report Abuse provided a good, broad review of topics, including the more esoteric topics most physicians rarely consider. I'll let you know HOW good it was after my recert exam results are in! 12345 HPM Pass 3rd edition John Santamaria, MD, FAAP, FACEP Oct 2, 2018 Report Abuse After purchase I was surprised to not receive any package or notification from AAHPM. After a week or two I called and was told that the product was only retrieved online. When voicing my surprise I was told by the woman on the phone that yes, AAHPM should really notify people of that fact when this product is purchased and that she would tell someone about this at AAHPM. If there was proper notification that I missed, this is on me. But for now I am not aware of such notification. Please note that my rating is not valid since I have not yet used the product. Only gave rating because it was necessary for my comments to age accepted. 12345 HPM pass 3rd edition Gauresh H Kashyap, MD Jul 11, 2018 Report Abuse Useful tool for preparing for ABIM exam. 1 - 10 of 11 select 10 per page20 per page50 per page 1 2

The modern infrastructure of the Waterfront Cape Town, South Africa emerged in the early 90s during the apartheid era when the port was boycotted.
Besides hotels and shopping centers, restaurants and a brewery are the locations for numerous entertainment opportunities.
Smaller museums like the Two Oceans Aquarium as well as the busy boat traffic and the numerous seals in the harbor let the visitors spend an enjoyable time.
Please watch the video here!!!
The concept of the Waterfront is so successful that Port Louis the capital of the island of Mauritius copied it. Some buildings have been built according to the original plans of Cape Town.
The Waterfront is also the starting point for the trip to the prison island Robben Island.

84. Funerals by George
84. Funerals by George
From Chicken Soup for the Soul: Family Matters
Beer is the cause and solution to all of life's problems.
~Homer Simpson
I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether to write this. On its face, it seems disrespectful. I mean, isn't telling a funny story about our stepfather's funeral in the poorest of taste? How could I find anything remotely humorous about what should be a solemn event?
The more I thought about it, though, the more I realized that our final respects to "Poppy" weren't contrived or phony. Rather, they were our loving goodbyes to one of the family. Indeed, it's the way I'd want to go.
Our mother, having grown tired of living with a man who resembled Ralph Kramden, acted like Archie Bunker, and possessed the social skills of Fred Flintstone, divorced our father and brought Walter—he only became known as "Poppy" once we had kids of our own—into our lives when we were children.
It still amazes me that she somehow managed to convince this relatively young man (in his mid-30s), that living with five kids was really not much worse than getting a prostate exam from Edward Scissorhands.
So it went through thick, thin, and adolescence until, even after the untimely death of our mother, it was Walter to whom we turned as head of the family.
Even though he remarried a few years later (what do you call a woman who marries your stepfather once your mother dies, a step-stepmother?), he was still the magnet that held us together.
He took us to ballgames, gave us advice, provided an anchor through tough times, and was a father to five kids when he didn't have to be. He may have thought onion dip with chips was high cuisine and Howard Stern was Masterpiece Theater, but he was our model for what it took to be a grown-up.
When he succumbed to cancer several years ago, we were overwhelmed with grief at the loss of someone who had guided us into adulthood. Our heartache was further increased by the knowledge that our own children wouldn't get to know him as we had.
As funeral preparations went into frenzied high gear, we didn't have a lot of time to dwell on the person we had lost. During the two-day viewing, my brothers, sister, and I took our proper places in the front row of the funeral home—the only place where being in the front row is not a good thing—and paid our respects to all who came to pay their respects.
We sat still, quiet as mummies, while mourners shuffled by the open casket. When they finished, they turned to us, murmuring "I'm sorry," "He looks so natural," (one of the stupidest sayings known to man), or some other such uncomfortable platitude.
Needless to say, it was rough. Enduring the parade of mourners while solemnly staring at someone who looked nowhere near natural took its toll.
The second night was a little different. Although prepared to be good soldiers throughout the duration, our solemn façades began to break down after the arrival of one of my brother's old girlfriends.
I've always admired her for showing up. She didn't come to see my brother; she came to say goodbye to a man she respected. This, of course, didn't stop the smirks from me and my other brothers and sister.
Through it all, though, we maintained a somewhat reverential demeanor.
Until another brother's old girlfriend walked through the door. More smirks. Then, when one of my old girlfriends arrived—with a nose ring that looked downright painful—smirks became giggles.
Giggles became whispered jokes. And whispered jokes became throwing our voices at the casket when elderly relatives walked up to it. This—to us, anyway—was the very best in funeral home comedy.
As bad as our performances were at the "home," they were nothing compared to the actual funeral itself.
Starting off with a service at the Episcopalian church, we ended up at the biggest cemetery in town. Once there, I was reminded about that old joke about cemetery fences: nobody can break out and nobody wants to break in.
A military funeral, because he was in the Marines, the service was very dignified and steeped in an appropriate level of sadness. At the playing of "Taps," there was hardly a dry eye.
At its conclusion, everyone but the immediate family withdrew to a cold cuts, beer, and coffee fest at the Elks Lodge. I've always wondered what is about funerals that stokes a mad craving for doughnuts, pigs in a blanket, and boiled ham on little rolls.
My brothers, my sister, our spouses, and I stared silently at the casket as it sat suspended over the open vault. Festooned with an abundance of floral garlands, its mute presence reminded us of the loss we'd suffered.
It was then I felt guilty over our hi-jinks from the previous night.
As we began to move toward our cars, we heard an almost imperceptible "psst!" Quickly scanning the cemetery, I didn't see anything or anyone. Still looking, we heard it again and spotted a head peering around a tree.
We watched a friend we knew from high school, George, step into view, holding a 30-pack of Budweiser.
"Everybody gone?"
When we told him we were the only ones left, he came over to the site and placed the case of beer on the ground. "Well, here you are," he said.
Seeing we had no clue what he was talking about, he explained, "When Walter knew he was going to die, he told me to get a case of beer and go to his gravesite and hide. Then," he went on, "when everybody but the kids left, he told me to come on out and let you have a beer on him."
Stunned, we stared at George, the beer, and the grave. Nobody said a word for a few minutes. Then—I don't remember who—one of us stepped up and grabbed a can. The rest immediately followed.
Popping our tops, we raised our cans to Poppy in toast.
Before we drank, though, my brother said, "Wait!" Grabbing a can and opening it, he set it on top of the casket and said, "Well, here you go, cheaper than you can get at Yankee Stadium."
With that, we all had a beer to the memory of our father. Needless to say, we finished that case and, despite the these-people-are-nuts looks from the cemetery workers, stayed until the casket was finally lowered into the ground.
It may have been a strange way to act at a funeral, but we knew that was the way Poppy would have preferred it.
Why else would he have had the presence of mind to contract the services of Funerals by George?

Coca-Cola celebrates it's 132 year heritage with new campaign
- Coca-Cola unveils new 'We Do' campaign to celebrate the heritage and iconicity of the 132-year-old brand
- New adverts take inspiration from the brand's historical print designs
- Coca-Cola is the number one cola brand in GB[1]
5th April 2018, London: Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) has unveiled its latest marketing campaign, 'We Do', to celebrate Coca-Cola Classic and reinforce the uniqueness and specialness of the 132-year old global phenomenon.
The campaign will run for four weeks from 6th April across large format OOH sites and social media and features the strapline, 'They don't make 'em like they used to. We do.'
This takes inspiration from the worldwide iconicity of the Coca-Cola brand and how it's maintained the same authentic and original recipe that was created in Atlanta more than 100 years ago.
The brand worked with graphic designer Noma Bar and design agency Recipe to create iconic new adverts that feature images of Elvis Presley and are reminiscent of Coca-Cola's historical print adverts.
Coca-Cola Classic is the most loved and most consumed cola in Great Britain[2] and is the number one cola brand by value, volume and household penetration[3].
Simon Harrison, customer marketing director GB at Coca-Cola European Partners, said: "Coca-Cola is an iconic, well-loved brand that provides a moment of uplift for drinkers, which is why they return time and time again.
"Despite the world changing around it, the brand has maintained the same original recipe that was created in 1886 and is still loved by many today. The 'We Do' campaign is a celebration of a truly remarkable drink that has survived over a century and isn't going anywhere soon."
